Get your bleep and tannico out of my face. Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the Morning Stream. Today is March 5th. Five. That's the five. Fifth. right that's right 2025 got a few fives today it's nice

I like that couple fives I guess I'm Scott Johnson that's Brian name but hi Brian oh hi Scott you know five oh hi 5 525 will be fun or 525 25 probably the funnest of the year That'll be a good one 525 525 Yeah May 5 5th yeah sure 5 525 will be like a week after Vegas that's pretty cool

It is pretty cool I have boy three balls in the air right now that I'm juggling for Vegas that actively juggling. There's a lot of balls. There's a lot of balls. Oh, yeah.

Elsewhere. But there are three specific balls I'm juggling right now that I'm just trying to make sure we get things taken care of with mini golf, producers, dinner, and a taskmaster thing.

So, yeah, fun, fun stuff. A lot going on. Just yesterday, I cut three gnarly checks. They weren't really checks. They were digital payments, but let's just call them checks. I cut three gnarly checks for all of your swag bags that are coming, all the stuff. That's why you guys got to get tickets, because if you don't, I have to eat it.

I've got to eat this. Yeah, yeah, come on. Come on, dudes. I can't send this stuff back. Are you kidding? No one's going to want it back? No. Nobody's going to take it.

No, nobody will take it back. But anyway, it is good to be here. We hope you're all well on a Tuesday, or Wednesday. We've got all kinds of fun stuff lined up, including a Tom Merritt appearance. He doesn't go, he actually goes, I think he's headed to Tokyo in a week or something like that. Oh, oh, wow, really? Oh, lucky he had. Their yearly trip, I think this is, I think they're going there.

And then he'll correct me if I'm wrong. It might be Korea, but I think Japan this year. And then we got the recommendals with Randy, no Nicole today, but Randy. So a little follow up on the Oscars from Randy, get a little taste where his brain is. And then your full load of recommendals. So stick around for all that fun stuff. My gosh, so much stuff. It is a packed show.

How are we possibly putting this much entertainment into this little, small, 90-minute package? How? I don't know. It's like sausage in a condom or something, right? Don't know what that means. Oh, I was hungry for a second. Yeah, I had you at sausage and then lost it a condom. I was hungry for a brief moment.

Brief. Yeah, nobody should be stuffing sausage in a... Yeah. Theoretically, you know what I mean. All right. Hey, hey, hey, look at this. We're going to start with a call. We got an anonymous, uh, uh, or, oh, you know the V-tuber thing we talked about? The billboard and everything.

Yeah, y'art, you know, that person, I don't heard the, the audio of, uh, oh, go ahead. Maybe that's what you're going to be saying. Well, I'm not going to play the, the actual audio from their video, but they apparently did, you know, they had a whole response. I haven't looked at it yet. To be honest, I was a little nervous because I think we weren't jerks, but we were kind of dismissive of the whole, you know. We kind of, well, we, we, we were. It wasn't that we were dismissive. We were wondering if a printed billboard was the best way to advertise something so digital.

Yeah. And it seems that apparently this person explains it more. And so there's value in us listening to it. I just haven't yet because I've been busy. But we got this voicemail regarding that and that whole thing. So here you go. Hey, guys. It's onions the cat here.

I was listening and you all talking about V-Tuber. and some that weren't anime girls. And one of the ones that came to mind was I was watching TikTok. And there's someone that goes by the name Alpine Showtime. And it's like stop motion animation stuff. It looks really cool. So check them out. Anyway, thanks.

We're listening. Have a good one. So I looked this up. It is awesome. It looks like, yeah, the technique they use. It's a digital puppetry thing. Obviously, most of the V-Tuber stuff is. But it looks like, you know, Arden's.

style stop motion movement. Oh, really? Okay. That's kind of cool. Which was exactly what I was asking for, something just a little different than bouncy boob anime girl. Give me something that's like, and again, no shame. All you with your bouncy boob anime girl, it's working for a reason, right? Your audience loves your bouncy boobs and your anime. I get it.

Yeah, but Narchu, all right, I watched her video about Casa Benita because I kind of had to as a, it's a rule. If somebody sends me a video about, Casa Benita, I can't have to watch it. And, you know, maybe it's different from her standard, like, Team Fortress 2 plays and stuff like that. But she never appeared on screen except for her hand holding a plushy version of her character. Oh, at the event, like at this, at Casa Benita.

Oh, okay, interesting. So there's Cartman. She, you know, holds up the little, um, the fleshy and stuff. So she probably was in town to go look at her billboard. Because I don't think she, I don't think she's from Denver, I don't think. No, I don't know. Now I can't remember. Maybe that was just a trip.

But, but yeah, like, and I guess the whole thing with V-tubers, they don't, they try, or they make an effort not to show themselves. Like, the anonymity is part of the fun. That's the whole point of it. Yeah. Yeah. And I agree with that. I think that's a great idea. Like, if I was to start a V-tube account, I messed around with a cartoon thing a little bit, but it was never, you know, I'm not seriously venturing into V-tubing.

But that doesn't really work because you know. us already. So if you had a Brian or a Scott V-Tuber character, although doing a whole episode with one of those, it'd be a freaking riot. Okay, I got to, I have it. I have it, Brian. Just hit me. All right. All right. Tell me if you don't think this is a bad, if this is a bad idea, I'll take your advice, but I think this is a good idea. April 1st, hurling its way at us, okay? Yeah, less than a month. And I hate, I hate April, April Fool's Day. I hate it. Generally speaking, there's a few good things, but it's mostly gone with all the old stuff. There's like a couple like Blizzard usually had a really good thing.

Back in the day, think geek, I was a think geek. Yeah, they were awesome. You had some great products that were fake. And some of them, people loved so much that they made them real. Yeah. Remember that iPad arcade they made? You put the, that was one of those. It was fake and then they made it.

Yeah, I have one. Yeah. I do too somewhere. I don't know where I put that. So, yeah, so they're sort of famous for that. And they were great. But now all of that's kind of gone. Now the internet's kind of a mess.

Nobody can tell real from fake every day. So it's like, what's the point? So here's what we do. To celebrate that day in a non-jokey way or a non-trick way, somebody out there with the skills to go make two V2 rigs, one that looks like Brian. You can make us anime girls if you want, but I want them to resemble us.

And then we'll do an entire, if you can make that work technically and not cause me and Brian a bunch of time, we just want to do a regular show. Yeah. I would do an entire show that day with just me and you I'd be fine with that. That's a, that's a, um, it feels like a big, uh, like a big ask, not, not, not just like

are making cartoon versions of you and me, but more the making it work so that our audio feeds to them and then we then feed that video to viewers. We probably have to run it locally, is my guess, because I don't think you can, I don't Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's true. And they can, they can probably like set it up so that we just log into an account and then. Oh, maybe. Yeah, if not, like the way that stuff works now, it's just software on your computer.

It's not like a, there's nothing crazy to it. But if it wasn't a workday for Tina, I would have pitched the idea of Tina and Kim doing TMS on April 1st. But Tina has to work that day. That's true. There's really, like, you know, Friday's the only day that potentially could ever work because that's Tina's day off. Did we try to do that one other time? What happened? We didn't something like this once, didn't we?

I don't think so. Did we? Oh, no, we just swapped people around like we had. That's what it was. Like, jury and Bill did it and then maybe I helped host something I'm not used to. That ended up being kind of a pain in the ass. But the wives, the wives is a good idea. I like the wife idea.

I like the wife idea, yeah. Because then it's not, again, it's not an April Fool's joke thing. It's like a, hey, it's, we're doing things different day because it's April Fool's and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, it's the most innocent use of the term wife swapping you could come up with. It really is. We're just swapping. By the way, I hope Logan's listening. So we got to say hi.

Oh, hey, Logan. What's up, buddy? What's going on? Hi, Logan. Thanks for tuning in as we talk about wife swapping. That's right. A term, you should not look up after the show. Just ignore what we've said.

But I hope you're studying and paying attention to what your class and your teachers are saying. And I hope. Stay in school. Yeah, and don't know pukin. No barfin. Okay. There you go. good all all good advice from scott yeah no let's let's do the uh let's do the wife uh episode of uh of tms

one friday we'll we'll figure it out some friday where it works for both of them and ooh and it would be a pay a tms friday which means patrons patreon thing right yeah it would have to be just because again Tina's day off or worst case because they don't really know what they're doing no offense to either of these fine women they could sit here and talk brian and i would probably have to behind the scenes a little. I know I would. Oh, for sure. Yeah. We'd be in the room where it happened. Yeah. We'd have to be. And it's not that they couldn't do it. They just don't know what we're doing. Every once in a while you'd see like a hand mysteriously come in from the side and move a microphone closer to somebody's mouth. Yep. Yep.

A little whisper like, talk. It was way better at this, by the way, than Tina, only because you and Kim do the skim show all the time, which I enjoyed yesterday. A lot of fun yesterday. That was great. Brian said something about lift and I can't remember what, we had a whole conversation about that. You know, that Kim was, had given it even a little bit of thought. Oh, right. We were saying she thought she'd be really good at it and you said Tina loves it and I don't know. She gives therapy to her passengers

while she drives them around. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like it might, I actually think Kim would really like it. She'd probably be really good at it too. Yeah. Yeah. She's always running around anyway. May as well do a quick run while she's out somewhere. Like right now, she's on her way to or sorry on her way to Lehigh or American Fork to drop

some flowers off to her sister who had reconstructive surgery today for her breast cancer treatment she finished around December or whatever that whole thing so she's dropping flowers off to her and then she's going up to Orham to my mom again to do her feet, her nails

and her hair while she's between her between the physical therapy stuff she could be she could do a ride while she's out there well you know what would it pay for a little of this gas we keep pumping into that damn car totally right pay for the uh the the nail polish and the

emery boards and yeah all those things that she's using yeah for sure it's not a terrible idea there's a little bit you know it as much as uh you hear the the uh me complain about parts of the uber and lifting deal and there are things that you know i see the absolute worst driving um of people out on the road and i'm probably i know i'm guilty of of speeding i probably um i probably follow a couple people closer than i should because uh it always works out that if i don't there's cars that that are happy to tailgate the car in front of me that zip in you know

in between sure so it's really i'm just protecting them from being telegated by somebody worse yeah that's a great way looking at it you're making their lives better they just don't know it. They just don't know it. Listen, I'm saving them from worst tailgators. And I don't follow, I don't fall so close that there's any danger. I follow close enough that somebody would have to be real Houdini to get their car in there. Have you ever, have you ever been pulled over while you were doing a drive, a ride thing? No. Okay. No. I was pulled over in somebody's Uber that we were passengers then. But it wasn't because the guy was speeding or doing anything illegal. It was something to do with warning.

they were warning people about something that was up ahead and maybe to take detours or something. Oh, really? Okay, that's nice. So they just flagged them down. It was really a pull over as much as it was a, the police were in the street,

stopping everybody until, yeah, it was something like that. It was, we were in Seattle, and I don't remember what was going on, but it's back when we did our cruise. But anyway, we'll see how all that goes. Yeah. The UK piped in with some C-word advice.

Oh, good. They didn't use the C-word, I hope, in this recording. No, no, no, no. But he did clarify kind of his use case, how offensive it is there versus here, all that kind of stuff. And it seems like it's coming right from the horse's mouth, as it were. And what I like about this clip is he has my favorite English accent of all of them. Okay.

So you're going to hear this and you're going to go, oh, so from now on, you know, like when I see you, Zoe in Las Vegas, Nevada for TMSVagas, TMS.com for details. No, no comp. Just TMS. Oh, see, I was a shit. Forget about the comm. There's no comp. Yeah, yeah, that won't work. Yeah, and this is good because you just help.

I'll just pretend that was all on purpose because we were trying to help make sure people don't put dot com. And you helped me do that. Right. Thanks for that. Yes, my pleasure. But Zoe, when I see you, I want you to start talking like this, okay? So here's the version of the accent I like in London.

So a quick note on the C word in the UK versus the US, which I'll now refer to as the dull edge of a knife, that being blunt. In the UK, it is absolutely as offensive as it is in the US. dream of using it in front of your parents. You wouldn't use it at work. You'd get dismissed for calling a workmate a dumb blunt. The thing is in the UK is that in addition to it being using those extreme aggressive circumstances, i.e. come over here and say that to my face, you dumb, blunt. It's also used with precision and restraint amongst friends when least expected. We'd love to catch each other out by dropping a blunt into a situation.

say you're playing a ball game with your friends and somebody makes a powerful move against you that they didn't have to, they had a choice and they said, well, I could make move A, but I'm not, I'm going to make move B. If you turned around and said, yeah, that's because you're a blunt. Hopefully you'd catch them unawares. A few other people around at the table, maybe you'll get a spit take out of it. Those are the times we love to use it. And the person will either do that spit take or they'll take it on the tune and say, yeah, yeah, that's fair enough. You're right. I am a blunt. And so, those are the differences here we have the two extremes no middle ground absolutely is offensive but also love to throw it in when it's unexpected i

appreciate the clarification andy but mostly what i appreciate is this if i had his accent i have the biggest youtube channel on the planet i totally yeah i love it so much i could listen to it all right it's really really good um no i love his love his accent and i think they're they're still you know they're still not getting how Dan, they're doing a better job of explaining how unacceptable it is in the UK. And I get that. I thought it was a lot more acceptable, like you just throw it out in the middle of conversation. Sure. But the fact that even during a game, you would say that is still more than we would do here in America. Especially if there are any women present, it would not garner a little chuckle at all, ever. No, it's like the worst thing you can do.

The worst. And it sounds to me like it's not over there. it may not be the worst thing you can do. Right, right. It's just, it's a thing you could do that might be distasteful. You don't do it in front of your parents. Like, yes, but I still think there's a divide there, I think. Yes, but that divide is a lot closer than I thought it was when we talked about it last week.

Oh, for sure. Yeah, there's less of a canyon there between what's acceptable here and what's acceptable there. It's like, oh, okay, well, it's still not super acceptable over there. but very much not acceptable here. No, if I said this in this house around these strong women I associate myself with, I would be so in trouble, dude. Even as a joke, like anything still would go over like a hot fart. Nope, me and you would be sowing our nuts back on after that.

Exactly, yes. He'd meet up in Green River and do each other's nuts. That's what we'd do. Oh, geez. that won't get capped no that'll never get used out of context yeah yeah i love you know what i'm kind of actually on the on board with just let's let's use the word blunt yeah i like it's not bad you dirty blunt you old blunt like some some blunt was yapping about crap on the tv for two or three hours last night while i was a trivia and i didn't miss hearing from that blunt at all exactly

there you go that's perfect yeah yeah uh sean bloom just said something i was going to mention bill burr uses a lot in his specials he's but again the Boston area again the use cases there vary from everywhere else for whatever reason every Boston accented person I hear when they drop the C word it sounds more not more common but more acceptable than when I hear say I don't know somebody from Mississippi say it or somebody from up north or whatever so maybe it's again the Irish British or Irish UK origins or something. I don't know. I don't know why we're so weird about it. But yeah, Brian and I will not be using that here. We will not be saying it to our wives. Nope. We're that word. Not even not even if it's just us and other men like if me and crazy

neighbor go into the mammoth game. We will never like that is an out of word that he and I would even, you know, we talk trash. We you know, we swear like sailors when we go to a mammoth game. Not at the team. No, no, you're not that kind of fan. Yeah, yeah. That's good. That's actually good to hear. I don't wonder if Tina's going to let me say, happy if I say this, but since she's

become a supervisor at her job, which is now got six, seven, eight months now, her level of swearing, kind of up. Kind of up, yeah. Kind of like, like as you were describing Kim behind the wheel when people cut her off or don't let her merge or things like that, Tina's level is. get on a little bit up. Supervision will do that, you know? Yeah.

You got all these dumb asses trying to bump around. She has to tell them, no, no, no, back up, you dumb effing mother effers, right? Exactly. Well, she doesn't swear at them. She swears about them. Which she's telling me about her day at work. Sure, sure. Yeah, I did actually, I don't know if she's going to be happy about me saying this,

but I noticed in Vegas last year her F-bomb quotient was higher. Just a little higher than usual. And I was like, it's fine. I'm glad I'm not the only one because she doesn't think, she doesn't see any difference. Yeah, which I get, you know, you're in the world you're in. Like, I actually think Kim's would increase if she started doing Lyft and because she would be in situations where she would want to be cool under stress if a car cutter offered it's something else where she normally would have an outlet. So instead she'll build that up, try to remain calm, and then later spill it. it to me and go just ever in front of me, right?

She'd never do it with a passenger in the car, no way. But she'll certainly do it. You know, like I said, if the tapes ever got released, release the tapes of me in my car when I'm doing Uber and Lyft between rides. You saved any good ones? Have you got anything in the wings in case you ever need it that you could show us like a little Brian-freaking... No, it only saves them for 24 hours. And I'm like, you know, I'm like, well,

Well, that would have been a pretty funny diatribe to save, and then I forget about when I get home. Yeah, yeah. And they're lost to the ages. Yeah, one of my favorites these days is FUF ball with the actual words replaced. But using the F-Bomb twice in one sentence separated just by a comma, F-U-F-Ball, and I just love it. It's like... It's a strong.

It's a strong use case. I even think F-U-F-Ball is pretty good as a... Even as a just as the cleaner version. As the clean version, yeah. Yeah. I'm a fan of that. I'm not really an F-bomb guy, so I could use F-U-F-Ball. Freaking F-Stick.

Kind of like F-Stick's pretty fun. Yeah, F-stick is great. The non-yes. Yeah, it's pretty good. Or even the full one, you know? Oh, yeah. No, well, I mean the full one on that one. Got you.

That stick is okay, but no, the actual. The actual one's going to stand. The actual uncensored version of that, I think, is a great, is a great phrase. Yeah, that'll send people to the morgue, that one. Yes. All right. We're going to get done away in here. We're also going to get one of you in here,

and you need to be the fourth caller if you want to participate in this. My guess is if you've already sent me a thing, you're not fourth, but, you know, whatever. We're not here to judge. By the way, who is a drenched wildfires. Someone in Denver needs to take a lift, and when they get Brian, distract him and grab the SD card out of his camera. Guess what?

My camera was made by ring doorbell, no SD card and it automatically records to the cloud as you're as it's doing its stuff so um it's available immediately there's no having to transfer files or anything like that it is yeah it's out there it's in the cloud for all in fact for all you know even the view from my car right now if i wanted exactly and even if the 24 hours thing wasn't a thing i still think that stuff some on some server it might be encrypted but i think it's out there i'm sure it is they have to have it back I've given up on thinking anything's private, so it's all good. Yeah.

It is all good in the hood. Oh, look at this. We've got music playing. Oh, what the hell is this? All right. Well, I guess it's time. Brian Dunaway joining us for a little of the old Tad Pooley feud. Hello, Brian.

How are you? No, hi Scott and Brian. Oh, I'm doing well. It's a Wednesday. So hump day and my camera uses a compact flash. Good luck trying to read that, Pucks. You're a little more secure than us. Yeah.

Compact Flash. What was the Sony? Security to obscurity. What was the Sony specific SD card? It was a little bit longer. Yeah, they had Sony memory sticks. It was literally called the memory stick.

It was just called memory stick? Okay. Sony memory sticks and they were ridiculously overpriced. They were. And they could only be used with Sony stuff. Yeah. And if you had like their PSP of the Vita later, you were just screwed.

Yeah. If you wanted a less expensive. Like the fact that they, I think what killed the Vita, Vita is not embracing SDs. That was so stupid. So done. I think what killed the Vita was forgetting to put the salsa in the dip. Oh, not Velveeta.

Not Velveeta. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Thank you for, I'm so glad you explained that because I did not get it. Especially in this year of our Lord 2025. My gosh. That was an old reference. I liked it, though. You did a good job.

Oh, thank you. Okay. Well, let's see if we can get a participant in here. We have a bunch of people piping in. let's see who is number oh do we know this person i don't think we do or maybe we do coder j let's see coder j i'll like cutter j i know coder j i feel like well online i'm just wonder if we've had them in here here before oh whoops ad okay well let's see what happens hopefully this will work and uh we've got a new contestant on our hands hi coder jay have we had you on before uh oh like five states and three

years ago oh my lord nice it sounds like the get as big of yes five states and seven years ago. What kind of states? Like solid gas? What kind of states were you in? Yeah, what five states were you in? Plasma. Yeah, plasma? Okay, great. Plasma. Perfect. That's my favorite. Well, that's awesome, man. I'm really happy to have you here, even though it's been that long. It feels like brand new. Brian, we'll explain to five state bill here, what, Coder Jay. What he might win today if we pull this off correctly? It's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpole on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brang are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. Coder

Jay, it is your job. No, I'm sorry, it's their job. I'm not even to your job yet. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Now, Coder Jay, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes

this memory stick duo adapter from Sony. Good luck using it with anything. Ever. Ever. Exactly. Longer than an SD card and And 1% is useful. You also get a copy of Narcosis and Conflix, Revolutionary Space Battles.

Oh, that's a good one. I played that. Conflicts. Oh, it's because they're convicts. Is that the... No. No, there's no T. It's like flicks is in that...

Yeah, like movies. Like movies. Yeah, like... Yeah, like... Another thing I can't think of. Well, that's great. All of this could be yours if you but win. I guess we have to figure out which one of us is smart.

What's you have to do for that? Yeah. No kidding. There is no but winning. Let's get to your game while I put this memory stick to go back in the trash can where it belongs. All right. We asked 436 tadpullers to give their best answer to this. This is going to be a fun one.

We asked, what's your favorite one-hit wonder song from the 90s? Scott. I get knocked down, but I get up again. Ain't nothing going to keep me down. That's called the, that's called, um, oh shit. I remember also, I need the name, don't I? I'm eventually going to give it to you, but right now I want you to try and come. Okay, Chumba, Chumba, Chumba, is the band, right?

That's right, yeah. And the song is tub thumping. That's it. There it is. Tub thumping. Show me. Show me tub thump thump. something.

Oh, it's number one? Had something number one answer on the board. Everybody's favorite one-hit wonder from the 90s for sure. All right. Sweet. So me and Coder J, man, this is going to be fun. That's exactly what it means. Yeah, you and Coder J working together?

Nine answers still on the board. Let me hit the button here. Coder J. That shiny red button. Coder J, how do you feel about the, the mock The macarena. Macarena? Macarena. Yeah. So it's no, it's macaroni. Mecca, Maca, Maca, Maca. Something like that. Yeah. What do you think? In your five state, in your five state journey, how much macarona did you hear? Well, I've got a few weddings and it's almost always there. All right. Let's do it. Let's pick it. Mockerina, please.

All right. Show me the macarena and cheese. Number six. By the way, I was thinking about... Don't macarana me. little audio clips of each of these but then's like, oh, yeah, YouTube, it wouldn't be a fan of this, so. No. Oh, man, now we get, things would get. You can sing it.

Oh, sure. Macarona. Yeah. Nama, numma, numma. Yeah. Nama, numma. I really don't know what they even say. All right.

Do you have a, uh, somebody needs to make a bash up. Do you know what the, do you have an idea? their Coder J on another one? How about Hanson? Oh, Mbop. I got that one. Yeah.

It's got some right out of Scott's mouth. Oh, Mbop. Admittedly, it's because we were just talking about this. Brian, just the other day, was talking about how great Hanson's music is and no one knows it because they get stuck on Mbop. Let's go with that. I like it.

Sure. All right. Show me Mbop. Bap. Bap, Chababoo, Bip. Is that 2000s, early 2000s? No, 90s. Well, it was in the list is number 17, regardless.

Pretty sure it was 90s. I could be wrong. I believe you. I believe you. Late 90s, something like that. Leslie, who is a big fan, like me of Hanson, well, more of a fan of Hanson than me, says, Hanson was not one hot wonder. Now, I think I know what she means.

Oh, because they did, they went more. Yes, there was miles from nowhere. Was that just the, there was another, they did have another. single. Yeah. Plus they're just, Brian's point from last week's

stands. They're a good band that people don't appreciate it. Yeah. All right. Well, Brian,

that means it goes over to you. Name a one hit wonder. People, the Tadpool's favorite one hit wonder song

from the 90s. They said, they did say favorite. Favorite. Which is a weird way to say it. Right?

Because I didn't want to just name a one hit wonder song from the 90s. I want, you know, we want,

this is a popularity contest. Okay. In that case, I'm going to take Lou Bega out for a ride and see if we can get some Mambo number five. Yeah, this used to be your theme, by the way. Well, the original Perez Prado song that Lubega used to make Mambo number five was your theme song.

Name another Lou Bega song. Can't do it. Can't do it. I'll wait. I can barely name that one. Show me Mamba number five. What? Yeah, I know.

Surprise me too. Mambo number five, number 21. But it's in all the movies from the 90s as well. That's how I'm doing it. I know. Yeah, you got to think of like when they do a flashback and they really need to show it's the 90s what songs are going to be playing. It's like that blur, that blur song that ends up in every trailer back then.

Same thing. Although, you know what, we could do that blur song. I wonder if anyone did the blur song. I know that song, by the way, is Monica's favorite song, by the way. Oh, little Monica in my life course it is. Yeah, sure. You mean gorillas, proto-garillas? Is that what you mean?

Oh, okay. What are you talking about? Blur. What? Blur. Oh, Blur. No, I'm talking about how all the trailers used Blur back then. They used that, woo-hoo, song.

And then, I know. It was easy to think that Blur only had one hit, but that is also not true. Blur had lots of good music. All right. I can't think of it. Coder J, save us. I can't think of a thing here. Coder J.

What about Ice Ice Baby? Oh, shit. Of course. Duh. Oh, we can have some fun in the rap, the rap zone here. What was the 80s? Oh, the rap zone. Get with the, no, skip that zero and get with the hero.

That was early, that was early 90s, wasn't it? It was. Yeah. Was it early 90s? I thought it was still the 80s. Okay. I stand corrected. Look, Mr.

forgot what decade it is. Kiss my butt. All right. Let's go with, let's go with that. Let's try that. It's my butt. All right. Show me Vanilla Ice Ice Ice Baby.

number 10 big good points tvs Travis i believe you're confirming that that song came out in 1990 well that counts yep yep we call that are we ever gonna watch are we ever going to watch cool as ice the movie uh for no but we'll watch the turtles where he'll give us some uh well turtles too i believe we already watched didn't we yeah go go ninja go i thought we did too did we not see that one i thought we did confirmed not one hit wonder we also had go Njigo, Njiko. I don't know if I say, yeah, I would call that an unfortunate. That's like saying that Sidney Lopper had a hit with Goonies are good enough.

Sure. That's hilarious. All right. Well, then, oh, geez, I don't like how low that is on the list. I know. Really? That's scary, right? Well, no, I like the points.

I don't like the implication of where it landed because it means that if that one made it that low, what else is going to be higher. Sure. sure. Oh my gosh. Give me some one hit wonders in my head. Oh. This list is great. There's probably so many.

Oh, oh, what's to take my shirt off one? It's too sexy for my shirt. Oh. That guy. Dang it, that's a good one. That's a good one. I'm too sexy for my love. Right said Fred.

He said I'm totally sexy. Yeah. Too for my shirt. Too sexy for a shirt guy. That one. Show me. Show me it's too sexy for my shirt. Number four, right, said Fred.

A band that took their name from another British son. Too sexy for my shit. That's a stupid song. He's sexy for my hair. Too sexy down there. Yeah. He had no. Did Coder J fall asleep?

Are we? You over there? All right. Just let people talk. Yeah, no. Sorry, Coder J. We do tend to. We're a bunch of loud mouths, don't we?

I do that. I do that when Tom's on. Coder J. That's exactly. we should do a podcast where we just talk yeah let's do that sure do you make this a podcast let's do this we are still funny we should be recording this yeah i like it hey uh coder jay how do you feel about uh i don't think the timing might be exactly right but i just have a feeling somebody did at least one of the two smash mouth hits uh either somebody once told me that one or um

maybe the remake of the monkey song but probably more likely the the Shrek thing. And Shrek came out in 2001. I'm a believer. Oh, I'm a believer. That's right. It's actually a decent cover. It's an okay cover.

It's an okay cover. You know what? I'll give it to smash mouth. Don't argue with it. That they made it their own. Yeah, I think it's okay. Their own just happens to not be very good, but they made it their own. So let's give it a shot.

Let's go with the somebody once telling me the world's going to roll me. I can't remember. Oh, hey now, you're a rock star. Is that the song? Yeah, let's let's call it. I'll sing all the lyrics. You see if he just hit the title. Show me,

show me, Hey, now you're a rock star. Oh, boom. The song is called All Star, and it, it,

I think just because, yeah, it tied for 57th, only one person suggested. I think because Smashmouth had, I'm a believer, had, walking on the sun.

A few. Might as well, Walking on the sun Get enough of you, baby. Yeah, that's true. Another cover, by the way. Yeah, those were all hits, sort of. Yeah, exactly.

There were a few hit wonder. It's, yeah. All right, well, then, you know, back to Dunaway then, I guess. Back over to Brian. Still six answers on the board. When you started talking about being sexy, I actually was thinking that you was going to go with, I touch myself.

Oh, yeah. Sure, the divinels. The wonderful Christina Amflit. That's definitely 80s, isn't it? Is that 80s? I mean, I don't know. I thought I was in high school and that was happening. It might be wrong.

There's a whole bunch of songs I'm getting, I'm getting blurred. I don't know. I should have said blurred. Dang it. I don't know why I'm helping you, but I. Let's go blur. You're not doing blur. Do the other one.

I like the other one. Do it. I'm not doing blur. Don't tell me I can't do it. All right. You do what you want. Don't tell me. Touch myself.

Touch myself. Touch yourself. Please keep saying it so we have a good clean one to clip out. Yeah. Touch myself. It's not on the board. I'm going to go touch myself. Okay.

Show me the divinels too busy touching themselves. Oh, come on. 19. That one came out. That did fit. Amazingly, not in the list at all, which is such a bummer. It might be because they, divinels did have another hit. A few.

Yeah, not a few. But, you know, not that you think of. Not as, not nearly as big as I touch myself, but, um. Right. Nah. Uh, yeah, got me to say it. Got me to say it. Whatever.

Whatever. All right. Thank you. Oh, man. Thank you, Scott and J. I feel like we're in a, we're in a bit of a bind here. Um, shit. Man, there's a lot of good places up there.

There's just so many one-hit wonders throughout them. That's a whole decade of possible one-hit wonders and all. Yeah, but when you look at this list, it's like, like this is clearly why this is the list from the tadpole. Yeah. Not necessarily because it's the list from the tadpole, but like this is, you can't argue with a single song on this list being on this list. Okay, okay.

I think I got one. I think I got one. Well, don't say it. It's too bad. Too bad. I'm going to forget it. I'm going to forget it. I'm trying to remind myself.

You got pens at your office? I'm saying it works. What's the one, what's the one MTV always used at the end of the reality shows when people had to leave? It was like, um, ma-a-dabado do you got to get out of here. It's a band I've seen in concert every time they come to town. Oh, you know what I'm talking about.

I do know exactly what you're talking about. Let me picture it. Because it was either time of our life or whatever from Green Day, and they're not a one-hit one. Or it was the other one. Or this other one. It was absolutely the one that they used. Like at the end of like road whirls that year.

Yep. But they all parted ways after they parked the Winnebago and got the smell of Theo van out of it. Oh, oh. Shit. Closing time's like a bar. Closing time, exactly right. A song about birth and the being in the womb. Oh, really?

That's about? Yeah. No way. What? You won't, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Love that song. about your brothers and your sisters come. Like, it's all about the process of being in the womb.

Absolutely wild to hear that. All right. Let's do it. Semi-sonic freaking great band. And them and the band that kind of spawned them, Tripp Shakespeare. Show me. Enough talk, Brian. Show me closing time.

Right. I've forgotten the one I was going to go with, but Scott's saying that reminded me of another one. So that's good. I did tell you. I forget what the crap, was it? 18. It should be higher because that's such a great hit. But they did have another hit with all about chemistry.

And they'd have some other, some other hits from that second album. That first album, though, with that one song, Closing Town was big. Yeah. And it's not even their fault. Everybody else just licensed it and used it. It's not their fault. Yes, I know. And it did.

It was MTV used it any time a show ended. Yeah. It was really annoying. And they kind of ruined the Green Day song, too. I kind of like Time of Your Life for, I don't know, they ruined it. They used it with everything. Hope you had the time of your life. I'm like, I'm never going to see Puck again.

So stupid. Anyway. Oh, Puck was, I think Puck was kicked off real world before either closing time or time of my life. He was the first. He was like the first hate. The first reality show villain. Yeah. For sure.

Yeah, he was. He was. show was probably i can't believe he stuck his fingers in the peanut butter that's a good pedro that was good thanks oh my gosh brian's been holding a pedro impression i've been holding a pedro personation all these holy shit all right well i guess it's up to brian to see if you can do anything here because yeah we're out brian you need some major points you need 22 points to to yank these prizes out of coder j's hands dude i'm i'm a little nervous about this one but this one is the one that like constantly comes up in rotation

around her house. And I can't, it's only one of the song I think they did. And that was the four non-blons. What's going on? And I say What's going on? What's going on? I'm not even argue with the fact that you gave me the wrong song title because I know what you mean. Oh, it's not. Yeah. Is it not what's that going on? Is it what's what's up? What's up? Yeah. I won

a box of CDs and a boom box from a radio station for knowing that it was what's up and not what's going on because it was one of these yeah it was one of these like um six really short song clips be and then you had to identify the songs and i would try and call in i'd try and call in and every time somebody else would get through they would get you know three of the six songs right and then it got up to four of the six songs right and they'd keep adding prizes to it and finally got up to like you know people were guessing all six songs getting five of them right because they killed saying what's going on and finally I

got through and said it's what I pushed the glasses up my nose and said it's a what's up by 4Dod Blas what's up it was the only I'm married to what's her face from the Roseanne show exactly it was the only time ever

and I won a lot of prizes on the radio station videos that would be a good topic to talk about one of these times but we we had it down to like calendars of like when we're eligible to win on this radio station and when we were eligible to win on this other one. But it was the only time in all of the winnings I had on radio stations where they actually drove the prizes to my house

and brought them to me because it was a big box of CDs. Probably most of stuff on this list, by the way. Yeah, I was going to say, in the entirety of this list. All right, Brian, it's up to you to try to win it or clear it. Let's see what you got. Show me what's up by the 4901. I know we're finally getting to the actual game part of the game. number two answer on the board

only worth two points but at least this won't be a shutout yeah I don't want that still got five songs left on this list and a single strike there's a couple of mine yeah oh that's right 11 there's a couple months struggling with

like since Scott can't guess anymore I guess I can kind of just talk who let the dogs out oh shit yeah that's a big one that's a really good one yeah we should have thought of that

that that may have been early 2000 I don't think anyone remembers. That's what I was trying to remember, because it was like kind of late 90s if it was still in the in the 90s. What a stupid song, dude. I don't feel like, I don't know if like, I don't feel like, I don't feel like, because it was written about women at the bar that, as the night goes on. Oh, really? The hot ones get taken. As if I thought I couldn't hate that song anymore.

I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, to start a second part. podcast. It's called, what the F did it mean? And I actually did. I had one for a while called Lyrics Undercover, and I want to bring it back. It was basically, it took a song every episode and said, here's how the song, here's how the artist came about. Here's how he came up with the idea for the song. Here's what the lyrics mean. And it's a, it was a long show to produce, but took quite a while. But the episodes are still out there, lyrics undercover.

Since I'm embarrassingly behind, is there any way you can kind of like, you know, make some noises when I say a few things, you know. Oh, sure, yeah, I'll make some noises when you say a few things. Like, who let the dogs out? Maybe some presidents of the United States, maybe some peaches.

Oh, peaches. Millions of peaches. Me too for me. Now, I know that we listen to a lot around here because my significant other loves it is, can I say bitch? I'm saying bitch. She's a bitch.

She's a blear. That's the one. That's the song. I'm a couple of other songs, but that's the one that everybody. did she try it see if it's in there are we going with bitch by meredith brooks let's go with the bitch i'm your i'm a lover i'm your yeah definitely read more lyrics perfectly yeah please keep going show me show me bitch oh man number 25 in the list uh again should have been higher because

i think that is a good you made bry you made brian say show me bitch show me bitch it's the best part it's another thing you'll hear me yell on the car show me bitch you think you can let me in show me bitch blunt let's figure out what the hell

is the rest of this on the rest of this list number three the Proclaimers I'm gonna be 500 another that's another another Shrek thing

we could have dived into there oh that's true yeah they did that on Shrek one number five I'm a Barbie girl Barbie girl of course I really like that's a 2000 song Number seven is one of my favorite

one hit wonder songs of the 90s I love that song It is still a summer It is still a summer bob That's a one that's a one hit wonder That is underrated as a I mean it's I don't we're not sick of it We liked it it was good

Right yeah exactly like we could hear But today, we're not going to say, oh, this thing. Yeah, that beat, that don't. That don't. Exactly. Which came from more, more, more by the Andrea True Connection, a disco song from the 70s. Holy shit. More, more.

How do you like it? How do you like it? See, we got a little lyrics undercover going on right here. This is great. Exactly. You know, it's more reason for me to bring that show back. Number eight. Oh, come on.

There we go. Clicked it. Breakfast to Tiffany's. Did you guys even talk about this and dismiss it? I don't know if you did or not. We didn't, but this is the song. You probably know, I've talked about this before. This is the song that me and my kids would wail in the car.

Just go for it. And I said, what about. Yeah, and they loved it. Like, this is still a tradition. We'll get together at Thanksgiving. My grown-ass adult children and I will just belt into this song all the time. We love this song. It's a great song.

A lot of people shouting out number nine here in the chat room. Flagpole sit up. Oh, flagpole. Sitter that was That was such a great Wait, hum me some bars That thing the whole summer But I'm not well

And I'm so high That I'm in hell That's actually kind of a fun song I like that one It's a great song It's another one that again This is a great list You look at this list

And it's like yeah There's no song in this list That doesn't belong up here Your bonus was Sir Mixalot Baby got back Oh Which might have been 809

I'm not sure you I swear you I feel like Ice Ice Ice Ice Baby felt more 80 than it did in the 90s, but, you know, whatever. Just running down a few from this list, because it is a long list.

No Rain by Blind Melon, Bitter Sweet Symphony. You get what you give, new radicals. Another song, underappreciated song. That was really good. Zombie, cranberries. They linger, lingered dreams. Yeah, they have other hits. They would like to have a word with you about...

It is a massive hit, and it overshadows the other stuff, but you're right. It's, yeah. Ligies are better. Oh, 1999. 92 baby got back. Thank you, BioCal. God, I thought that was earlier than that. Blue, Dabad,

Oh, Dabadoo. That's got a resurgence with that remix version of it that everyone does, yeah. Informer by Snow, Six and Candy by Marcy Playground. Oh, that whole album, let me tell you something. It's so good. Oh, you don't even know. You've heard this Sex and Candy million times, everybody.

If you have avoided the rest of that Marcy Playground debut album, you are missing out, even today. you're missing out. It's so good. Oh my gosh. That thing you do, the song by the Wonders from the movie of the same name. Groove is in the heart by D. Light, that was what I forgot. It doesn't matter when we have a point of a bit. Lady Miss.

Well, no, no, that's a different song I know, that's what I'm saying, I love that. They're not a one hit. These are not a one-hit wonder band to me. Afternoons and coffee spoons also was a hit for them, a radio hit. Yeah, they're good. More than one hit for the crash test dummies. Torn by Natalie and Brulia, a cover, by the way.

He's huge, though. Teenage DirtBag by Wheatis. Oh, teenage dirt bag. That's my favorite of all the ones you've said. I love that song. Yeah. That's making a big comeback. Everybody loves that song.

It is. It totally is. It's so good. Wonderwall. I think Oasis might argue that they have more hits than one. Huge band They'd probably argue With each other

But they would argue Just period Yeah They just get mad and leave Just to A couple more here Fade into you by Mazzie Star Fantastic song

With them being a one hit one Was that a was that a radio hit? Yeah I loved Lump was a way bigger hit than Peaches Yeah Lump was massive Yeah Peaches was

Peaches was featured in King of the Hill So I never a Lump though Well I don't think that's the litmus test Not the bellwether for what's a hitter. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Lump was overplayed, man. Ask how many people remember Lump versus people who remember Peaches, I bet you there. I'll ask people.

We'll ask people, don't you worry. We'll definitely ask people. Exactly. Yeah. Two princes. Again, Spin Doctors had two really big hits. Let's see, two princes is one that says, go ahead now. The other one was Pocketful of kryptonite or something like that.

I think that'd be good. Yeah, you're getting a copy of Narcosis and Conflicts, revolutionary space battles. Nice. You're going to have a great time with all of this. I can promise you that. Give us a one-word response to your fantastic play today. Yay. Yay, that's good.

That's good. It's real good. Hey, Dunaway, you know what? It's how you're going to happen. You and I are going to see each other again on Friday twice this week. There's a play retro. Last week we did the space unit deal thing there. And we're doing the SX.

Space Quest. This week we're doing the SSX games. We're going to talk about a little more modern, but still retro, still older than 20 years. And we're going to talk about SSX 1 through 3 or tricky, I guess. We're going downhill, baby. Yeah, Tricky came after 3, I guess. Was tricky on there? Run DMC?

That was tricky. It was not. Tricky might have been. Oh, it's tricky by Run DMC? No. Run DMC again, you know, walk this way. It's tricky. What's the,

give a quarter, and you order, small fries, big Mac. Big Mac. Yeah, you be Ellen. My Adidas. I used to love. If that wasn't tricky, that tricky was later, right? That was, was that after? Oh, wow, that was the gets older than I remember.

If I would have known Brian, that was late 80s. If I had known, if I had known Brian in the late 80s, I would have said to Brian, Oh man, have you heard that hot new hit Walk This Way by Run DMC and they're working with Stephen Tyler And Brian would say, you know that's a cover of the Stephen Tyler Aerosmith song to begin with

And I would have had to say that That seemed like a pretty obvious one See and to me, I didn't know I heard the Run DMC one I thought it was original, I didn't know I really didn't That's an embarrassment for me I'll admit it

I was like what the hell is wrong with you I said to myself, I said, My association. Well anyway, done away, it's going to be great play retro wherever you get your podcast and come listen to us live. We'll be at frogpants. Dot TV at 130 Mountain Time on Friday.

So look forward to that. Kiss our butts. All right. We're going to take a break when we come back. Ooh, very late we will get Tom Merritt. He will join us and talk some tech. We'll also have Randy after that. So stick around for all that after this song.

For sure. Sorry, apologies out to Tom for how late we are, but that's all right. We're going to Los Angeles for this one. Los Angeles, but these guys are originally from Atlanta. an indie pop rock trio named Coil, K-O-Y-A-L. You're going to love this. And their song is called Gravity. Their brand new album, Breathe In, Breathe Out, is available now.

Go get it now. This is their second album, and it's really, really good. Here's Coil and Gravity. Are you going to maybe spell it out for you? This feeling that it got. I'm a mess, I'm obsessed, I'm spinning out for you, leave it all but then I'm lost. There's nothing better twisting an electric love.

There's nothing better drifting in a dream from above. This beautiful is pushing through this graffiti. Fill your waves from ours when it crashing to me. Oh, this is graffiti, me wanting you and you want to me. To your gravity, yeah, to your gravity, gravity, gravity. Are you gonna make me spell it out for ya, it's a feeling can escape. Every sunset's slow to catch an in a stellar show Or fly your eyes on a blend

There's nothing better twisting an electric love There's nothing better drifting in a dream from above This beautiful is pushing for this gravity Feel your waves from miles away crashing in me Oh, this is gravity, me wanting you and you wanted me. To your gravity, gravity, gravity. Stug in the motions, your deep devotion, or you carry me away, or are you running me around? A spiral in surface makes it hard to resist, trees in a comet and her lips in a kiss.

There's nothing better, twisted and a legend love. There's nothing better drifting in a dream from above. This beautiful is pushing for this gravity Fill your ways from miles away Crashing into me This is gravity Me wanting you and you wanted me This beautiful is pushing for this gravity

Fill your ways from all the way Crushing into me Oh, this is Graffiti Me want a you and you want a me We want a you and me want a you and me want a you and me want a you and me want a you and me want a you and I know a place that's peaceful and quiet a place where animals play It's called a forest but every year we start forest fires a careless match or cigarette and poof fire So the next time you're in the forest

Just be extra careful, okay? For spacemen and our families. Okay, we're back, and tell me who that was again, please. Sure, that is the band Coil, K-O-Y-A-L from the brand new album, Breathe In, Breathe Out, a song called Gravity. Fan, Freakin, Tastic. Darn right it is, yes. All right. Tom Merritt in coming. Data can guarantee.

Well, I don't know if I can guarantee anything, but I think he's going. I feel like there's some things in life that are sure things, and this feels like one of them. Tom's a sure thing. Isn't technology wonderful? It is. He would agree. He covers it every day. He must like technology or else you wouldn't cover it so much, Tom Merritt.

How do you feel about that statement? Do you think that's true? I hate technology. Yeah. I'm just not a fan. I don't say that because I was just putting my monitor down, you know, because it, it can go up and down and it turned off. Oh, shit. Oh.

I don't like that. There's something underneath it that hit the power button or something? No, I think it's just a cable cable. I mean, the fact that we can still hear you means, is it still piping through that? Yeah, no, yeah. Everything else is still plugged in. It's just the monitor got loose. Oh, that ain't good.

You back? Got it. This is what it looked like when Tom is your limo driver and you push the button for the privacy screen to go up. Well, here's your problem. That's right. Yeah, there you. There you go. That cable falling out. That'll do it every time. I have that same problem. This monitor right here, I have the loosest connection to power,

and I don't know why it came with it. So it's its own power cable, and it's just so gingerly in there. It's going to come out any time. I'll fix that in a minute. But pardon me if I consult my notes to the left. Yeah, not to worry at all. Speaking of notes to the left, that sounds like a fun show title. Everything you own in a box to the left. Yeah, I like that. Tom, what's going on in the world of text? got to be something going on in our world well scott i'm going to make you happy uh and just do apple stories what is that sweet let's do it you know i'm steeped i'm steeped in their ecosystem i did see so that i'm sure going to bring it up that m4 studio i don't need an upgrade all right i'm doing

great i have a studio uh max one whatever the hell it was called and it is already way more than i need to do what i'm doing so i don't need it but i have to admit you hear anyone say m4 and i go Oh, tell me more. Anyway, no argument there. You don't want the M4 studio. Scott, you want the M3 Ultra studio. Oh, is that what I want? Is it performing better or what?

That's a lower number. It's a lower number. It's a weird, weird thing. But let me explain why. The M3 Ultra is a better processor than the M4 Max. What the Ultra does is Mary's two Max processors together with what you call. an inter-something interposer

internet so with the internet no an interposer that means they can they can act as one okay so if you were to get the m4

you would get what is it 16 cores in your CPU and 40 cores in your GPU not bad no it's not bad at all sure if you get the m3 ultra now I know the number is one less

but focus on the ultra you get 32 cores in your CPU and 80 cores in your GPU. And 24 of those cores. 24 of those cores are performance cores, not efficiency cores. Okay. So you are talking about mesh shading, hardware accelerated ray tracing.

They have this thing called dynamic caching on the M3 Ultra, where it can keep frames and other data locally in the cache better so that there's lower latency. It's a beast. Also has a 32-core neural engine, support for up to 16 terabytes of storage. Jeez. I mean, that's going to cost you. Wow. And how about this? Configure it with unified memory of eight, let's see, 512 gigabytes of RAM. That's a lot of... 512 gigabytes of RAM. That's so much RAM. And also would cost you your house. You'd have to have a second loan. Yeah. Sure. You won't have a place to live, but you'll have an M3 Ultramm. Keep you nice and warm.

Boy, did you file for unemployment with a blazing speed? That's right. But at least I have a computer. Yeah. That's interesting. The F3Ltra starts at $3,99. That's obviously not going to get you all those terabytes and gigabytes and gigabytes of RAM and all that. But, but, you know, it's a beast and it's going to be confusing because people are going to go, well, wait, why is that one got an M3 and this one's got an M4?

they've been lagging behind on the ultra. The M2 Ultra, if you remember, didn't come out until the M3s had already started to come out as well. So they may skip an M4 Ultra at some point. I don't know. They've talked about the fact that not every generation will have an Ultra. Right now, the M4 is the only one that doesn't have an Ultra. And there is the M4 Max Studio, which is good.

It's great as well. But don't get confused by those generation numbers. Part of the reason I got an M1 Max was because it was out, outperforming the M2 that's just the regular M2 studio at the time and that's why I made a decision yeah I'll do this and I'll save a little money on this version

plus somebody was giving me a great deal which helped but yeah that's good to know like pricing for the M4 is what in comparison what does it start at it starts at 1,999 okay so you're going to pay yeah the numbering is just stupid

it's like super new Mario Brothers deluxe plus. That's a good way. Look at it. Somebody called Tim Cook. It's an interesting example of Apple naming things for engineering reasons versus marketing reasons, right? Yes.

Which they don't normally do. But yeah. Good reason. Yeah. It is technically, you know, two M3 max chips. So you can't call it. I mean, you could. They could absolutely do that.

But engineering-wise, you're like, well, you can't call it M4. It's two M-3s. And, you know, some marketing person's like, well, let's call it. an M6. That's three plus three. And the engineers are like, no, it's an M3. It's the ultra in the M3 line. I don't care if this confuses people. That's what it is. And they won the argument

in the chip. I suppose they think when people come in to bias Mac Studio, most people not us, but most people are just going to say, give me the, what's the most powerful one? Right. Right. And they won't care about the number until, right, or ever. Yeah, maybe ever. Wait a minute.

There's an M4. Why did you give me the M4? Should I wait for the The M5? Like here's... Let me get my manager, sir. Hold on. Here's the thing. I'm just surprised

Ken Frederigi didn't walk in there, pull his pants up way high, and go, I can make this work. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seems like a possibility. You do get Thunderbolt 5 on all six ports

on the M3 Ultra studio. You only get them on the two rear ports of the M4 Mac. So that's something you can point to. It's like this one has all Thunderbolt 5. This one only has two Thunderbolt 5. They also kept two USBA ports on both models. Oh, two on both.

That's actually probably good. People complain when they take that stuff off. I know. I do like having, at least let it use a dongle. Yeah. I know because I have this stupid piece of crap sitting here, which is an A to C that I don't want to have to put here, but I have to keep it right here.

Yeah, same problem. Every time I want to use something. I have basically, so I have my two A's full. I have my two A slots full. I don't make it better. Oh, on the back? Yeah, on the backs, obviously. And then I've got this front stuff.

And what's funny is the front stuff, this all sounds dirty. Why am I saying it the way I'm saying it? I'm doing some front stuff here. Two girls, two A's, one, what? One battery. I don't know. These, I made it worse even somehow. These, these bar, I have some external drives up front.

And they're, they both shipped with the little adapters, right? They came, or no, I'm sorry, they're both C's and they shipped with A adapters. so now I've got a combination of those adapters and I hate the dongle I mean yeah exactly right like just try to explain it is almost as bad as using it yeah it's kind of frustrating but that's not all

really two convenient ports in the front but it's like yeah I want two USBCs and maybe one A would be nice just for all of the thumb drives that I still have to use for things I do like that they put a SD reader in the front oh yes yeah SD card reader

stays around too headphone jacks stays around. HTML port stays around. Those are all good. And they didn't add any ports. Same ports as the previous models, as far as you know. Same ports, except for Thunderbolt 5. Oh, right, right.

Yeah, Thunderbolt 5 support. It's still a USBC shaped port, but it's Thunderbolt 5. That's cool. And two on the back on the M4, all six on the M3 Ultra. Now, hold me back from action. Because the one thing that's really tempting about this latest announcement is that, that new Air, M4 Air MacBook. I mean, that is really, there are two updates to the, well, three.

There are three updates to the M4, or M4 error. One is that it has an M4. The other is a 12 gigabyte webcam. I can't remember off the top of my head what it's called the center stage. Oh, right. 12 megapixel center stage. Same one you get in the MacBook Pro is now on the MacBook Air. And sky blue is the third update.

Yeah. You can choose a sky blue color instead of just more silver. and gold. I kind of like that. I haven't looked at it. Slate or Space Gray or so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ooh, I like Space Gray.

More of that. Bring those back. I do like Space Gray. Yeah. Or the old black. Remember the back MacBooks that were black? They were plastic then, but those plastic MacBooks, I love those. I had one of those.

It was the Doc. It was the Power Book. God, it was Power Book something Doc. I guess they did have black ones after that, but it was that one that had the really cool G4. clam shell looking Oh yeah The ones I'm thinking

I'm more squared out But I think they called them I think they were just called Eyebooks still I think they still had the I book name I think but I love the color choices And I wish they would have Look I think aluminum is cool

I do I think it's great Yeah yeah But we've been doing that look for a while now Yeah Let's go back to beige Yeah Oh gosh Let's get some beige

I mean it's retro You know There is a there are a lot of clam shells You can buy You can buy those skins. They're kind of popular, but I don't think they look very good. Anyway, well, this is all great, Tom, as usual. Anything else that they drop that you think is worth mentioning before we...

That's it. MacBook Air. Well, I mean, the iPad Air was yesterday. And that, again, is an upgraded chip, but also not the M4. And so, you know, if you're in the market for a tablet and you wanted the iPad Air size, you know, it's the 11 and 12 inch or 11, 13 inch. um and and that price point um go check it out oh the other thing about the macbook uh air is it's cheaper hundred dollars cheaper than the previous generation nine hundred ninety nine dollars for the 12 inch and a thousand one hundred ninety nine dollars for the 15 inch to start that's surprising that they

went because that's what they used to be right they used to be yeah they brought them back down to where they used to be i think that's great yeah i'm tempted i like a good notebook and i don't have a current one right now use my iPad for everything so i've got an m1 macbook pro And I keep thinking like, man, I, you know, M4s and M3s, and I'm like, it's fine. They really are fast. The M1 still screams. It's not as fast, but it's still great. I would actually, I have this argument that some people don't agree with,

but I would argue that Apple, for the first time in their existence, undersold and overperformed on the promises of the silicon stuff. And they have been so good that I actually wonder if it's hurt, their rollover sales because this stuff is lasting longer. People are happy with them longer. I mean, you're right. That's why I was saying about this new announcement about the studios. I just looked at my thing and said, oh, it's just got a one on it. And the word max, big deal. But you know what? I am doing, I am screaming fast on this thing. Got no problems with it whatsoever. Yeah, I got zero issues. So I'm in no rush to do anything.

And I wonder what that means for them. The back sales have been strong. But I think that's people coming from X86 over to. Apple Silicon that is driving the sales. It'll be interesting to see once that saturates. You may be right that people are like, I don't need to get a new one anymore. I can keep this for years. Yeah, they're already made, they make great hardware. That's never been an issue. We keep longer than I do PCs anyway, but I don't know. You've over delivered Apple. And I'm not saying don't. I'm not saying don't do that. I'm saying, yes, you're doing that. Please continue to, because it brings prices down a little bit. And that's why Apple is pivoting to, services is they're like we want you to keep your device for a long time and pay for apple one that would be the ideal situation for them

you're paying for music and news and fitness and all of that stuff yeah well uh anything going on in tom's uh other parts of his life that you'd like to mention to the fine folks at home need to plug my monitor back in uh yeah uh we've had good mobile world congress coverage uh thanks to jason howell who was over there in barcelona so So if you haven't checked out Daily Tech News show yesterday on the main show, Jason was reporting from Barcelona, talking about some of the trends he saw there. And on today's show, he's going to send us a dispatch from the nothing phone event. We already know the specs on the nothing phone, but a little bit of his hands-on experience and what he experienced at the launch event. All that available at Daily Technewshow.com. Nice. I think all that sounds great. And I hope Jason doesn't, oh, that Spain's fine.

and they can drink the water. I don't know why I said that. It's terrible thing to say. Tom, Merritt, have a great day. I'll see you later on the day. The heck new show at 2 p.m. All right. I don't know why I went there.

I don't want to imply that don't drink the water anywhere. I don't know. I don't know. Barcelona is fine. Barcelona. I mean, I've been to Mexico. I was told in China by the Chinese in southern China not to drink the water. It wasn't me.

They told me. The locals, they said, don't drink the water. But eat this dog tongue. Yeah, jerks. Exactly. Bastards. All right, let's get Randy in here. Let's get a little Randy, if you know what I mean.

We're going to get a little Randy. Get a little Randy, and we do that with this. Well, what do you recommend? Joining us now, we have Randy Jordan, aka Randy Deluxe, joining us for recommendals today. Hello, Randy. How are you? Good morning, morning stream. I've been sitting here like Jody Foster in contact, just muttering. I'm ready to go.

I'm ready to go. Okay, for go. I'm ready to go. Okay for go. It's basically, you know, the Wednesday way now. Everything goes long. I don't know why, but it does. That's Dunaway's fault.

I agree. 100% blame Dunaway. It's the great music of the 90s fault. Yeah. There you go. The great one hit wonders in the 90s. I am so amazed by people who want to have the argument. That's not a one hit wonder.

That's a two hit wonder. That argument, I couldn't care less about it. Like, just give me the music. Pump the music into my veins. I love all that music. Yeah, there's a reason their hits in the first place, right? Some of them maybe don't hold up

as well or got overplayed, but they're still hits. You know, they deserve the love they get. Teenage, I'm telling you right now, teenage dirtbag, the reason that keeps coming up for every generation loving it is because it's so relatable. It's like watching Breakfast Club.

It works for everybody. You all had this feeling of being awkward and weird in school and the girl you really liked was going to give you no time of the day or the month. And then you find out later, she actually likes you. And she also likes Iron Maiden.

And you're going to go to Iron Maiden this Friday. Don't say maybe. I mean, come on. She's got two tickets. She's got two tickets, Brian. You know what those are going to cost? Even back then? It was expensive.

Anyway, tube socks and all that. Randy, it's good to have you here. We're going to just talk about recommendals. Before we get into it, though, I would love for you to have a chance to just kind of do a little quick recap on your Oscars take and how you feel about the results and stuff. That was a good Oscars. You know, it wasn't mind-blowing.

I was really, really entertained. The opening with Cynthia and Ariana singing. It was absolutely stunning. And I was just like, could we just do this for three hours? Couldn't we just have great performances? They really did not keep up with that pace. I really miss the hearing the songs in the, like the different nominees for Best Song, Best Original Song. I miss him who was in the show.

And it's been, it's been years now, and I think we should, we should, there's a couple of things we need to do for the audience for the Oscars. One is we need to start getting back to the things, the performances for the audience, like the, the comedian on stage doing a few more jokes for the audience. And I really, really think they should pay attention to all the screeching about the in memoriam segment and just blow it out. just make the biggest longest in memoriam segment and and like include everybody imaginable like they just they have no idea what the people at home are thinking about what's going on on that show the winners and losers were right on i was amazed at how good this oscars was the one thing that surprised everybody was best actress and it all of the nominees were fantastic so you know yeah i'm bummed that a complete unknown got shut out because I really enjoyed that movie and I would have liked it to see it get something. I've been asking people the question why didn't a complete unknown win some

Oscars? And the answer I keep getting is the people who are most suited to love that movie were mystified by the choice of Twink Shallame as Twink Salome. They didn't see enough of you know, like what they remember

from Bob Dylan. Do you know what I mean? I prefer I prefer a bank alt Shalameh. That's what I like to call. It's a, that movie is a

controller mod Shalame. That movie is a miracle. Like there's a reason it was up for best adapted. Like they took 10 hours of material condensed it down to two

and somehow told a compelling story. It was really amazing. Yeah. I think it's just every year you got somebody who feels like they got the shaft and a little bit, you know, I put all my money on conclave, partly because I hadn't seen everything, but also because I just thought it was incredible.

It was so good. Yeah, so you need to see, you still haven't seen in Norrie yet, right? No, queued up, though, it's on, what do we say, peacock or something? Peacock, I think, yeah, that's 473 F bombs. Yeah, lots of f bombs. Oh, my gosh. Which is just Tina over dinner. Yeah, it's just teen after a day of work.

That's what we understand. I like there were some classic jokes in the Oscars broadcast like freaking Lithgow is disappointed in you was just amazing I just I went back and rewatch that over and over because it was so funny yeah why didn't they use it if they didn't use it during Brody and I understand you know it's a joke early joke they're not really going to use it but they really should have used it during Brody and if not during Brody then the best original song where the two people started where she started singing it and her partner up there is like okay i guess i'll join along that's when they needed to get to lithgow oh 100 and the best and all the best jokes are the ones where conan either wrote the joke or conan really bought in on the joke like the the musician sandworm conan either wrote that joke or was very pleased oh that was a hundred percent a late night with Conan O'Brien 1990s gig and I loved

that totally was love that more of that more silly just be goofy you know bring him back out because you say this costume costs a lot so we have to use them twice like that stuff's great as we've been saying repeatedly this award season having when Harry met Sally reunion on stage

is always such a crowd pleaser like I was just it was great I'm so happy thank you for asking. There you go. Do you think congratulations on your third place win. We're not going to say yet who won first place, but congratulations on your third place. I am amazed at the two people. I felt like I did really well.

The two people that beat you, can you say second place or we can't say without a shot? Well, I didn't remember them because I was they aren't people that I'm like, I hear from a lot. I don't recognize their names. Oh, okay. That's great though. Yeah, the way and the way we structured the game was you had a choice between splitting your points or going all in and I went all in on every single category.

Did you really? Oh, see. Yeah, that's why. Okay, because I split my points on best picture between conclave and anora. I split, I put both on succession boy, Kieran Culkin, I knew he was going to get supporting

because we want to hear his speeches again. Yeah. I will do, I will do, one, Sean Bloom asked in the chat how he did, uh, bro, second to last. I'm sorry. Oh, shit. Uh, like it's, you came in 55th out of 56 and I, it's, it feels like you were trying to. No, Sean, look, all you do is start thinking about it the way I did. I'm like 36th or something on this list. And I think of each place as a point. So you almost won. You got second place because you got 56 points. Congratulations and well done. It's kind of like reading the stock market chart.

But if it's a manga, then it looks like everything's going great right now. The fact that you participated means you did better than hundreds, thousands of listeners that did not participate. So there you go. That sounds all right. Well, all right. Let's get to our recommendals. Things we've seen on streaming services that we think you find folks at home will enjoy. Brian, we're going to start with your clip.

What do you have here? This really surprised me. This kind of amazed me as something that I never heard anything about. until I looked at a like best movies of 2023 list. Yet you wouldn't find this. There was no mention of this at the Oscars. There was nothing. This is just really, really good.

And it's a little sleeper, sleeper thing that actually came out, sorry, not 2023, 24. All right, here we go. It's nice. I thought you're right. You know what? I'll tell. I will say one thing.

You're going to hear, you're going to hear Proxima midnight. and uh scarlet witch talking to poker face okay here we go it's nice that it's us just us this is the way it should be the way he would want it i interrupted something i'm sorry how are you rachel i feel like we haven't spoken since thanksgiving how are you i'm all good i don't know what you want me to say i'm good it's basically it well she's definitely high the whole place stinks like we Yeah, I'm high. High as a motherfucker. First thing I do in the morning is I roll a blunt.

Then I smoke at least three more throughout the day. You know why? Because that's how I do shit. I don't care that you smoke weed. It's just not right to smoke in the house when someone is sick. My daddy doesn't mind. Trust me, I've been smoking around him all this time, and he never had an issue. In fact, he likes the smell.

Told me more than a few times. It's the smoke. The smoke, not the smell. The man is dying. Just go outside. Damn, it took you five minutes. Five minutes, right? just get in my shit a second ago was how let's just get along yes yes let's settle down there's

no reason for this to become an issue ever her just take her shitty weed and smoke it outside shitty weed i have no i know that's carrie coon you said proximate midnight and stuff but i don't know what this is what is this it's carrie coon elizabeth olson and natasha leone in a film called his three daughters they play the titular daughters um they are sisters who've grown apart from each other who come back together to care for their father who's sick. This came out in September 2024 on Netflix and hardly ever, I'd never heard anything about this until recently. And so Tina said, oh, well, let's watch it.

It looks really, really good. And it is really, really good. Basically, it is a, it feels like a play. I had to look and see if this is based on a play because you spend the whole time in this apartment where Natasha Leone's character lives. She kind of has the house where, or the apartment where her two sisters come to help take care of her dad, who she's been living with and kind of taking care of herself. And their three personalities just kind of take over.

Carrie Coon, the oldest sister, very much the caregiver and the, you know, took over since mom was out of the picture kind of role um elizabeth olson the kind of hippie um can't we just get along kind of sister definitely felt that vibe in that even in that scene you could kind of get their roles out of that yeah yeah and then natasha leone the very grounded i've been doing this for a long time and you guys come in here and immediately try and change everything um uh but but been there the whole time with with the father um it uh but it feels like it could have been done as a play because you like I said you spend the whole time in this in this um in this apartment several different rooms of the apartment there are other

characters that come in and out but the the the the film rests on the performances of these three actresses who are 100% known quantities you know how good all three of these actresses are and none of them are phoning it in on this thing like each one of them is is acting their heart out and it shows and it's really really good it looks awesome i'm gonna see this yeah i watched this a few months ago i totally forgot to recommend it i i would have beaten me to it um it's just um it the the the three daughters are 40s 40s and 30s and so i i find myself um feeling very very attached to the Olson 30 something, the youngest

daughter. I'm the youngest child of three and like it really spoke to me. I was kind of amazed at how much it like the whole film is regular people experiencing regular stuff and you can

really relate to it. Yeah. Yeah. It does. It does. It feels really, really real. And that's that's great. And the you know the the um the fact that so much of the film goes on without you ever seeing the reason that they're all there the father in this other room that is kind of hidden for most of the the film um as it would be in a situation where you're nervous and uncomfortable

about going in there and confronting him and seeing him it's it's um it makes the audience take on that same emotion that same feel of no The living room is more comfortable. I'm going to be out here, even though there's arguing and pot smell. I'm a massive fan of the kind of mammet-style closed space. Like you say, like a play, like a three-stage play. Yeah, very, yeah, very claustrophobic feel.

Yeah, I love that. And it's the kind of thing, you wouldn't be surprised to see this maybe end up on a stage and then rotate through actors. It so easily could be and would be, you know, done very, very well. Another thing, another comparison is Richard Link later. It felt a lot like a Richard Linklater film to me. I might be misremembering it, right?

Like, as time is going by. But I found myself thinking of this movie while watching a real pain because I couldn't help thinking about how difficult it is to write people and then have them act what you've written and it sound realistic. And like a real pain is like over and over the main, the main character who won for best supporting actor was ridiculous. That category is so ridiculous.

Anyway, the main character in a real pain keeps having these like mental episodes. Yeah. And it's not overplayed. It's not overstated. It's really realistic. And that's how I felt about the three daughters. Sure.

It looks awesome. I want to say it. It didn't make any kind of Oscar list because it was never theatrical. I never made it to theater. It did. It actually got a theatrical release in, yeah, in September of 2024, about two weeks before it went on, moved on to Netflix. Oh, there it is. Okay.

But it did, like it won the Savannah Film Festival. Natasha Leone was nominated for a bunch of awards that she won, like the Greater Western New York Film Critics Association, the Chicago Film Critics Association. And she's, she, you, you feel her, uh, her conflict so much in this film. And she's, she never turns in a bad performance. So, so I wonder how it works because they had, so you, it does say there was a limited release on, in September. And then Ireland and Canada only got it in film festivals. There must be some limit.

There must be, because this, this should, yeah, this, you think this would have gotten some. or at least something like talk or whatever because the first time I'm hearing about it is today you know yeah same like it's it's funny how uh how this thing slipped under the radar for so long but um anyway his three daughters it's on netflix it is um brilliant and touching and and um and so incredibly well acted and and uh deserving of your eyes and it's fun to say the name of the filmmaker azazel jacob A zuzzle. A zazzle. How come we got Natasha Leone in the MCU, then we'd have three MCU ladies in there. I would have let, yeah. Who would she, she should be her squirrel girl. Yeah.

Oh, squirrel girl, what are you going to do about it? That's a great idea. That would be a very Twitter. I could have controlled cockaroches, but I'm actually controlling the squirrels. I would be into that, dude. I can't do her voice for a long time. No. Well, let's just pair that down to, I can't do her voice.

There you go. All right, let's move on. Randy. Randy, let's get to your clip here. Set us up. It is Ash Wednesday. That has nothing to do with my recommendation here. I am just finding myself looking through a window into the world passing by as I tried desperately to comfort myself with comfort food entertainment.

And this is probably the most comforting comfort food entertainment I have ever known. I return to it time and time again over the last. 20 years. I can't believe it's been 20 years for this clip. Clips a little bit long, but you're going to want it. You're going to, by the time you get into it, you're going to wish it goes on for an hour. This is a show that you can just put on anytime and feel good about the world. I've never been to Rome. Never. All over the world, all around Italy, but Rome, no. I wanted to go, but things just worked out this way. Amaro and dolce.

By the time I arrived my idea of Rome, the Rome I was looking for was pretty much locked in. Ah, what dark is the Rome of films. Most of them shot in the early 60s, and that Rome came in black and white, of course. That's a way you're going to have to see it. Cibo, more wine, what divertiment and be a bella-vita. No matter whose Rome it is, yours, mine, or Federico Fellini's, it's beautiful. As beautiful as everybody says it is. To me, it's not the big things they tell you about, the sculptures,

the imposing squares and buildings, the monuments, though they are amazing. It's the little things, the tiny details, the improbable awesomeness of every little damn thing. Well, that would be Anthony Bourdain doing shit. Yeah, and this is no reservations. Although, it's really, it really runs together with Parts Unknown. The two, the two different series aren't that different. No. No Reservations is much more about meeting up with chefs and talking about what they're doing,

whereas Parts Unknown is a lot more just about the food styles in places. But, like, No Reservations has tons of episodes that he doesn't actually do what, what you just heard, which was the Rome episode, the beginning of the Rome episode of No, reservations. A lot of the episodes, you're like looking at a list of episodes and you're like, I'm going to watch the one on Lisbon or I'm going to watch the one on, you know, Malaysia. It's his one about Tokyo that was why Tina and I made sure that we included that weird robot fighting restaurant in our trip. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right. I forgot you found that on because we saw it on no reservations like, oh, this is nuts. We have to see this. Yeah.

Was it as crazy as you thought it was going to be? Sorry, I can't remember what you said about it. A little bit less crazy than I thought it was going to be. It was more a stage musical of Joseph and the Technicolor Kaiju than, you know. Sure. Than an actual real robot fighting performance. So the real mind-blowing thing here is that no reservations started 20 years ago.

20 years ago. And seven years ago since Anthony Bourdain died. And the first couple of years after he died, I wasn't able to watch this kind of thing. And then the pandemic came along and I changed my mind on things like that. But 20 years ago, he was going to Vancouver and he was going to the Philippines. And it's still exactly as uplifting and invigorated and just beautiful as it ever. was. I promise you, if you just go to the list of episodes and pick anyone, you will have this wonderful comforting feeling. Yeah, it's great show. That and his other one, you already mentioned

it. I forgot the name. Parts Unknown. Is that it? Yeah. Both of those things together. Just wonderful. And I think all of it. Well, the show you watched is definitely on like two places, Hulu and Max, right? Yeah. It's on Amazon Prime and Max right now. Oh, there it is. This thing is. Is it on Hulu as well? This says, Hulu, but maybe it's wrong. It could be wrong. I don't know why it says it. On ImbB, it says it's good that it is available in so many places because it, um, uh, it, it belongs in places where anybody can see it no matter what streaming service they have. It's such a great, like, and to think of it as like, ah, it's a food show. Yeah, that's, it's, uh, so, so much more than that.

Yeah. And it's like, you know, if you're into better or somebody feed Phil or that thing that, um, Stanley Tucci does, I forgot the name of it, the Italian one. Yeah. What was that? If you like any of these things, I feel like you owe Anthony Bourdain some thanks because this format is, it's his. And they all lifted from that really or inspired by it. And the amazing thing about Anthony Bourdain is that he was a chef who professionally worked in kitchens for his 20s and 30s and then realized at 40 years old that actually no, he's a writer. He's a he's a writer. He's a guy who writes better than any. else he does. And so when you're watching these shows, every word you hear was put down pen to paper by Anthony Bourdain. And that's just, he's what a, what a miracle genius of a man. And again, I'm so, it's so frustrating that he's gone because we could have gotten so much more of this kind of thing. But you get to, you get to go back and, and, you know, experience it again. And that's what I'm suggesting. They're all good. Every one of these is good. We

watch them all the time here too so i'm glad to hear we have similar tastes in the the bourdain comfort food as it were um even the weird ones even where i know he's eating something he's going to get the shits for a week right right he's like eating some like you know frog brain off the back end of a horse and you're like that ain't going to go good but it doesn't matter is something about it his adventurism his willingness to embrace cultures and all that's just great to watch good watch it really is uh go check it out mine is very different this is a cautionary tale a document you might say. So because of its local nature,

it's in a city about 60 minutes from me, something like that, a little town called Springville, I thought that this is something I should watch. It was also very notable because it was this gigantic, very popular YouTube family that did like the family YouTube thing

and they got very, very big. They were kind of the biggest for a while. And then things kind of went bad. And then things went really bad. And you may be familiar with the story, story, but I think the documentary is worth watching if you're not. Here it is. In my own journey over the years, I think I've come to understand evil in a way that most people don't, things that people don't talk about.

And I do believe that Satan is a person. what Ruby has done it just crossed a line of abusive to just psychotic and full on evil all right the voice you're hearing there is the daughter of Ruby Frankie I always say Ruby Frank but it's Frankie

she was known for the eight passengers YouTube channel and they're this family in Springville Utah used to just post videos of family stuff here we are cooking a cake today and here we are going to the zoo and we're all loading up in the van and they have eight kids or sorry six kids and then the wife and husband obviously that makes eight and um they had a really strong start as very popular fast growing channel back in 2015's when they started it and it really took off for him and huge fan base million followers in no time this kind of thing and as it

turns out like a lot of our modern social media what you see on screen is really representative of what is actually happening behind the scenes. And what was happening behind the scenes was a slow burn of some of the most gnarly, abusive parent stuff I've ever heard of. Like, and I don't, here's the thing. This is not a story that ends with, with deaths. It's not a story that ends with anyone being killed or, or, or, uh, even, you know, somebody with some serious case of self-harm or any of that. But it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, There's an abuse case here that is unlike most others because of some of the circumstances. Now, I don't want to give too much of it away because I went into this very nervous.

I was like, oh, I'm going to hate this, aren't I? I'm going to hate this. It's going to bring up issues about, you know, local culture and issues with notoriety and online fame and this and that. And it's just going to be uncomfortable. It is an extremely well-made three-part documentary called The Devil in the Family, the Fall of Ruby Frankie. And her two oldest kids are... interviewed for this they have both gotten out of there and thank goodness you just want to i just want to you just want to you just want to you just say i'm sorry this happened to you and

please please come over here never go there again um and the daughter in particular i just have the i just have the just i just want to saver i can't explain why but there's just some the the damage done to these kids is just so freaking stupid and wasteful um but then most of the kids the other four children are not they never show their faces they're always blurred out including old YouTube stuff that used to be public um faces blurred out names are never used they're protecting them because they're under 18 and in particular the two youngest are the ones that are the the were the worst abused and this abuse is not what you think it is not simple it's not the norm if there is such a thing as normal abuse it just gets dark and weird and crazy and it's extremely well made this is not a

documentary that's like pausing on people's facial expressions and playing loud music and hoping that it makes you feel emotional. It is just letting the facts wash over you. And that's my kind of documentary. The one thing that's really notable is when there's a bunch of outtake video of her shooting these videos, all smiles, all happy, all whatever. And if one of the kids makes the wrong face on camera or something like that, she'll stop and just scream at these kids. Oh my God. Barate them. just terrible stuff and then said, all right, now we're all smiling again and then go back to

it. People at home, they see the edit. They never know. They don't know. It's all smiles all the time. It is an absolutely wild story and is worth your time. I honestly wasn't sure I was going to be able to recommend it because I thought it would be just too, I don't know, just too raw or something. But the lessons of it are very clear. The women who ultimately were responsible for this mess, Ruby Frankie and her, quote unquote, life coach person, this Jody lady, they are in prison for 30 years for these crimes, 30 freaking years for what they did, and they deserve it. They pled guilty eventually, you know, ultimately. But that part is known, so it's not really a spoiler. But y'all should watch it. It's, there's stuff there. There's

things in there like lessons about how what kind of neighbor should you be maybe when you when something fills off what can you do you know because they have they interview a lot of neighbors and a lot of people who are around them and trying to they're trying to navigate well should is this a problem that we're seeing or should we say anything and some have great regrets about not saying things other people did the bottom line is the kid the brother who was being one of the very most abused of the family saved him in his sister's life there's no question and the movie starts with this how that happened and then it goes back and tells you the story anyway it's three episodes long i was riveted the whole time it's really really good i understand that it might seem like oh i can't

have that negativity right now i understand i totally get it but if you want to see a good documentary that really lays out the facts some british guy made it so he's got nothing to do with here he's got no motives he's just a filmmaker who was intrigued by the story and wanted to tell it and there's something about that unbiased position of filmmaking that that also really stuck out to me so it doesn't feel like they're exploiting anybody this doesn't feel like this feels like here's how it went this is what happened here are the people involved the dad breaks your heart because he is both partially responsible and also not responsible and it's a weird thing I don't even know how to not even that it's really hard to explain beyond that okay they're in it I didn't know this is possible

but it's possible that in your home I'm just naive I guess you can you can have a cult in your house and all the laws of living in your house with your family can be controlled by these cult-like energies. Individuals, okay. And the dad is as much a victim as he is a, I wouldn't call him a, I wouldn't call him, he was not actively abusing anybody. In fact, he was gone for, he was kicked out.

He was kicked out by the cult leader mom for about a year. And then during that years when all this happened, he was never charged with anything because he didn't do anything but he feels he feels completely guilty about it because he he's like how did i not see it he bought into the cult is what i'm saying and it goes deep it's like gets super religious but also super supernatural this jody woman oh my gosh dude you guys have to see it it's really something so it's on hooloo it's available now three episodes again it's called the devil and the family the fall of ruby frankie do not let devil and the family seem overly uh like they're trying to grab you it's it's a lot more down to earth

yeah sure i couldn't think of that word thank you i could not think it's sensational for some reason uh but that is exactly right and uh it's very good check it out just came out on the i guess it's been out since the 27th but i thought it was just this last week so what do i know okay well uh pretty this and all others that we spoke of today will be on quicktms dot l i yes and we lost randy with some internet issues but uh oh i didn't even notice is he gone well he's back but muted you back randy i brought the phone out to the car oh how that sounds hello it sounds like you're in a car yeah it sounds like you're a car stupid internet sounds like you're in a uh a bronze cube of some sort i i am that's that is the perfect description of it i am borg and uh i just i i i don't there's

nothing more to say about the whole ruby frankie thing it's out It's just outrageous. That's it. Yeah. It is. You're absolutely correct. Randy Jordan from Azerbaijan. Thank you, Randy.

Yeah, thank you, Randy. Be safe out there, you know. Don't drink the water. This weekend. We're sacking Inspector Gadget. We're, you know, we just lost Michelle Tractenberg, and we got to go see it. Yeah, we're going to see, we're going to see Inspector Gadget, and I've never seen it, so I'm terrified. I'm really nervous.

I've never seen it either. Yeah. And I didn't really watch the, the cartoon was out of it. of my age range, but I think I saw maybe half an episode just to get the idea of, okay, plus I like Don Adams, but sure. It's like his last big fling, right? That's the last big thing I did, I think. Well, anyway, everybody enjoy talking to your shoe and telling us weekend when we do that for film sac. We'll see you next time, Randy. All right. Very good. I know, there's a lot of chat in the, there's a lot of stuff in the chat, like, I can't watch down or TV right now. I get it. I get it. But you know what? I find catharsis and stuff when I'm feeling like things are really low and then I see something worse I go oh okay it's not so bad like I realize that's

temporary salve it's just a little band-aid on a larger wound I understand that but it works for me do what you do I think you know we had a this was a little bit of a heavier recommendals between our three things and you know Randy's series about

a dude who's no longer with us but at least is some comfort between a couple of very heavy yeah in your case in your case it's like dark it's like a dark story but these amazing women and their amazing performances and yes exactly you get what you take you get the fruit off whatever tree you got guys exactly exactly it's not always going to be a high sugar orio sometimes it's going to be a it's going to be a couple saltines and a slice of camemberars there you go that sounds fine to me i'd eat that yeah yeah uh all right well well done everybody that's it for

the show. We're all out of here. A reminder to get your tickets at TMS.orgas. It is available now, and they're going quick. If you don't have your ticket yet, get in there. Okay? Found out yesterday.

exactly. Because I don't want to, the last thing I want is to be in the car and my way to Vegas and get a, and get that phone call. I can't do it. Oh my gosh. I don't want to think about it. So I won't.

That's it. We're out of here. Brian, let's play a song to keep people excited about music. What do you got there? This is a great one. Oh my gosh. Get ready.

Lydia Bauer, this is a request going out to her that I think was unexpected. He's, oh my gosh, I'm blanking on, I'm blanking on Mr. Bauer's name. They email me all the time and I love talking and chatting with him. Hold on. I got to pull it up because I can't let this stand. Bauer. Yeah. I guess I hear more from Lydia than I do.

A postponed event due to her recent CADX. We are excited and happy that she's recovered. What's CADX? What is that? I don't know. I was going to look that up and I forgot to. Maybe a cancer, cancer term. or something.

California coaxial lights. That sounds right. The only thing I've been able to find. It's all that can hold the heart back is this weird California coaxial lights thing. Exactly. I really, really botched this request. Hopefully you enjoy the song I chose for you

because not doing so well here at the introduction of said song. But this is a great one. So any cover of heart was basically where it came from. Okay, Molly. Cancer? I did not pick up. Oh, DX diagnosis, cancer diagnosis. Oh, diagnosis. I've never heard of anybody. You say it that way. It's just a different. Yeah, I know RX is a prescription, but I've never heard of DX as a diagnosis, but that 100% makes sense. Okay. I didn't know Ann Wilson had cancer. That's terrible. Yeah. I love. I love, Anne Wilson. Love these guys, man, Barracuda, baby.

Straight on, straight on for you. Hello, this is Ray. Long time lurker, rare commenter. commenter calling about last week's recommendal and amy talking about the dungeon and dragons channel and how she wished the 80s cartoon had like a live action um i just wanted to comment that in the dungeon and dragons honor among thieves movie in the high sun games maze at the end one of the teams is actually the characters from the 80s cartoon um you see a wizard with a green robe and pointy hat you see a the viking with the horns. So, and the other characters. So they are in the movie. And from what I understand, I don't know who they actually are.

The voice characters from the 80s TV show actually appear as characters in the movie. Again, I don't know specifically who they are. I just saw that on my quick Google of this. The only reason I know this is because I watch. the Dungeon and Dragons channel on Prime, and they always have advertisements for the cartoon. I just, I don't really watch it. It's not my thing. But I do watch the Faster Purple Worm Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill.

And it's a fun show because what they do is they get a team of level one characters, fight and end level boss. So they always die. That's the hook of the show. But it's fun seeing these actors, trying to get their level one characters to at least do some damage before they die. Anyway, love the show, though, and bye. Those pants are made for froggin. If you know what I mean, I actually don't.
