Here I come to save the day.
The morning stream.
F*** off, Hariball.
I was muted.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome to TMS.
It's Tuesday, March 11th, one day after Mario Day,
2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott, hi, hi, hey, howdy.
Yeah. Amber is the color of your energy day. Sure, sure is. Yeah. Get out there. Get your
311 going. Let's see. Their new albums are really good. I'll say that about them.
And, you know, if you like a mix, a singing, rapping and a little bit of ska, boy, do we have a deal for you here on 311 day.
It's like sublime without all the swears. That's right. That's right.
Or the, it's like, no doubt without the pretty lead singer.
There you go.
Yeah.
They look like us.
Although I've never seen the lead singer of a 3-Eleven.
Maybe he's pretty, too.
I don't know.
I think he may have been in the day.
I think today looks like, like us.
Looks like me and you today.
Sure.
Poor guy.
These guys are old now.
Yeah.
Hey, everybody.
It's us.
It's Scott and Brian, and we're back.
We didn't have a show yesterday because I was getting scoped.
You know, it did happen kind of perfectly, Brian, because yesterday was March
11th. That is Mario Day. M-A-R-1-0. Mario, right? He's a plumber. Makes sense.
Mar-Ten. Exactly. So you're going to go in and get your bum-plumbed? Perfect time to do it because it's Mario Day. Right. But then a couple other things happened. We had some minor flooding in the basement. It's all fixed now. But that happened that morning before I went in.
Was it from your hot water heater? No, it was definitely not. It was from the kitchen. So the kitchen's
Sinks, I guess a lot of people have this problem.
Kitchen sink goes down to an area there where there's like a drain downstairs and then it goes
on to the public sewer system.
And if you, over time, and it's been like eight years since we ever did anything to it, over time
you're going to accumulate fats and stuff from the kitchen sink because you're rinsing plates
off in there or doing dishwasher stuff.
It's the only place where anything happens that goes down that particular pipe and that
pipe needed to be rooted and we just didn't know and we got a little flooding it wasn't terrible
it was it was all right but it wasn't lost on me that i had to hire a plumber on a day where i'm
getting plumbed up the butt on mario day who was a plumber day that's the best part yeah like
somebody's entering your warp zone meanwhile mario's coming to your house plumbing your pipes yep
and then the other thing i didn't know until i got there i read a sign when i got there it is colorectal
cancer awareness month oh i didn't mean to plan a colonoscopy
on that day so everything's coming up roses right it's all everything is just connected um anyway
here's the short of it i don't want to get into too many details because nobody wants to hear any of
that but it cracked me up couple things first of all prep night was less bad than the first time
because they did the pill form i highly recommend doing that if you can get it it's just 12 pills
the night one night and then the next morning they're they're essentially the same stuff they
give you in the liquid form it's just in pill form much easier to get down have to taste that
garbage or glork, glork, you know.
And you get sick of the water, but it's water.
It's not nasty.
You know what I mean?
That, you know, that part felt like it was 5% of the problem to me, and it was 95% not eating
for 24 hours.
That was the hard part for me.
That really sucked.
I was so hungry, dude.
I could have eaten three pizzas by the time this was, you know, I was so hungry.
So anyways, here's, here are some highlights of my, of my experience.
I go in and this is, I didn't notice this, but this is the same place I went to 10 years ago.
This is my 10 year checkup. There was nothing. I didn't go in for any like, oh, no, we got to check something.
It was just a doctor's like, hey, go in and you're supposed to go every 10 years. Go do your thing.
You go in every five if you have family history and if you've got any other issues, you might get every three years.
But I'm on the 10 year plan because 10 years ago they found nothing. So I go in there and I notice they've got two buildings to this, this gastro,
entorology practice.
One is for the down the throat,
what do you call that?
Endoscopy.
Oh, endoscop, endoscopy.
Endoscopy.
Endoscopy?
I think you're right.
Endoscopy is probably correct.
Endoscopy, yeah.
Because no one says colonoscopy.
Right.
Colonoscopy.
Colenoscopy.
Yes.
Oh, colonoscopy.
Colonoscopy.
Yeah, out there fishing like he does.
day. That's perfect month for that. So anyway,
it's also a colonoscopy awareness month.
Always be aware of what Colin did for our nation. So anyway, I'm there and it's like,
here's the endoscopy building and then we're looking for the colonoscopy building, right?
Because that's where I'm going today. And they have these two, but they're separate buildings
and they're built on the same, like, they're in the same area, but one is way up high and
then you go, there's a parking lot, and then you go down into another parking lot, and then
there's the other one.
It was not lost on me that the endoscopy is the high one, and the colonoscopy is way down low
over here, which makes perfect sense, because that's where you're getting your bum done,
and then your mouth's up here, right?
So they got this arrangement.
You'd think they could just do it in one building and have, if you go for your colonoscopy,
you enter through the rear, and if you're getting your endoscopy, you go through the front.
It should have even, that would have been better, obviously.
obviously, but they had, and so they didn't hire me to do their, uh, their architecture, clearly.
They did. So they were packed as the thing I was surprised about how many people are getting
done yesterday. It was nuts. Um, and they, and the lady there told me. Yeah, it is awareness month. And
the lady told me at the desk, she said, either building sometimes does one or the other, but we
mostly focus on the, the doctors are focused on endoscopy up there and then, blah, blah,
so this whole, you know, plan. We get there a little bit early because that's smart just to, you know,
get paperwork done and do what you got to do.
And my wife said,
tell them the joke about Mario Day.
And I'm like, Kim, I'm like, I have no food in me.
I'm like dehydrated.
I got nothing in me.
I can't even pee.
And you want me to tell them the stupid Mario Day reference?
So I had to,
she kept making me,
I think it was like her way of just like,
just do this thing you're going to do.
You got to be on.
You got to try to be funny for a bunch of receptionists.
That's what she was making me do and annoyed me.
anyway i still love her we're staying together we're staying together okay thank goodness yeah it didn't
break the marriage up or anything but uh anyway so we go to this go to this thing um guy i get down
this guy named like teflon or tesla or some name like that he was my doctor teflon he was he was
my intake nurse so he was like my prep guy and he's like all right here's the deal and you tell
me i had to answer a bunch of questions do you drink no do you smoke no like all that
assessing all the risks and letting me choose between propa, hoopa, whatever, and fentanyl.
I'm like, give me the one that isn't in the news.
Give me that other one, right?
Yeah, give me the one that's not roofies, basically.
Yeah, don't give me the one that, you know, we're shutting down borders for, okay?
That would be great.
Oh, right, right, right.
Yeah, please.
Yeah, fentanyl's gnarly.
So anyway, I take the other one.
That's what I had last time.
Or that's what I'd choose.
And he says, all right, now we're going to put this, we're going to put this port into your arm for that.
So when the nestatist guy comes, he's going to pump it into there.
And I said, okay, cool.
Go ahead.
And he's like very nervous about putting a needle in me.
He says, now, are you okay with needles?
I'm like, yeah.
And he's seen more nervous than me.
I was totally chill.
I was like, I don't care.
This is easy.
I don't mind needles.
That's a bad sign.
I don't want anybody sticking me with a needle that is nervous about sticking me
with a needle.
Yep.
Yeah, I didn't like that feeling.
I was like, are you?
If one of us has to be confident about it, I'd rather it's you.
Yeah.
And then he told me about how he can't.
actually do the needles or he'll faint.
Like, not do them, but have them done to him. Yeah.
Oh.
He says, I have no problem giving them to other people, but I can't receive him.
I'm like, this isn't really helping me here, Tesla, Teflon, whatever your name is.
Doctors make the worst patients.
That's, that's a...
Well, that's true.
I mean, this guy's a nurse, but...
Right, Dr. Jerry?
Tell us about that.
Yeah, tell us about that.
Call in with that one, please.
Yeah, and I assume this guy's just a nurse, but I assume it's the same.
Like, across the board, I assume they all hate getting done to them what they do to people.
but probably yeah anyway so he says all right well don't worry about it we got this i found a vein
he took forever to find a vein which isn't hard with me usually i usually i'm like i have vans
there i can see the little blue vein pumping there but he just was real careful and i guess
i appreciated it and you know what the entry wasn't bad it didn't hurt he did a fine job however
he makes this sound because i don't look when they do it i'm not afraid to but i just don't
i look away like i have no problem with the needle if
If I look, I start, everything starts fading out like the end of a sitcom.
Yeah, getting all tunnel vision and stuff.
It's not good.
Yep, exactly.
And I don't really necessarily get that, but I prefer not to watch.
You know, so I look away.
I'm hoping if I get stabbed someday, I hope I'm not looking.
Like that guy in Private Ryan that gets the knife in the chest, he's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, God, I hate that.
It's so hard to watch.
It's one of the easy, isn't it?
Yeah, not Cavizial.
The other guy, right.
The Jewish actor who's in first season of Fargo, he plays a hitman.
He was dazed and confused.
Again, I gave him his name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, that guy.
But the way, yeah, that scene is one of the worst ever in the history of ever.
But anyway, so I'm just, I hear him, he's over there and he's like, okay, it looks like this.
And then I hear him go, up.
And I went, what's going on, Teflon?
What's going on over there?
Right.
Don't make me look.
You tell me what's happening.
And he said, well, we just got a little blood.
It's not a big deal.
And I'm like, okay.
And I still don't look.
I'm not concerned.
I mean, you'd think.
Well, in this case, no, because it's just to create a port.
Oh, it's outside of the, oh, gotcha.
Okay.
Because they got to put in the goo, the sleep, the sleep goo.
So this is just an intake thing, which is like a little valve on it.
They're not drawing blood.
Okay.
No.
But apparently he drew some.
And he made it seem like it's nothing.
And I didn't bother looking.
Also, it was obscured.
He had this, like, gauze thing that kind of.
kind of obscured my vision. I'm laying back and I can't see if I'm bleeding. I'm just like,
okay, whatever. It's, of course you have a little blood. This is what happens. So we finish up all
the prep and as he starts to take the stuff away, left over from the procedure, this thing is
soaked in my blood, like soaked in it. There was so much, Brian. I was like, ah, I almost, I almost
screamed because he pulled it, he pulls away after telling me there was a little bleeding. And it's like
half the pad is a big soaky blood puddle.
Yeah.
And I'm like, and I said to him, I said, a little blood, eh?
And he goes, well, blah, blah, blah.
It's like Tesla had something funny to say there.
I don't know what it were.
Teflon, whatever.
Yeah.
He had a weird name.
I can't remember it.
Well, you might have moved into stuck pig territory there.
Yeah.
I mean, it was gnarly.
So he made me bleed.
And it was fine.
Then the port held and everything was fine.
Then here's my biggest beef of the day.
I'm on the thing
I'm super chill by the way
this was not a nervous thing for me
I was just hungry and tired
that's it exactly
at this point you're just ready
it's like all right the procedure is happening
let's get it over with
it'll be over and then I can go back to life as usual
yeah I can go immediately to pot bellies
and buy a giant sandwich which is what we did after
and it was so freaking good
oh I decided to do that
I wish there was a pot bellies closer to me
but I'm probably it's probably a good thing
that there isn't yeah there's one
just up the street from this hospital, so it was like
the first place you were. I can throw a rock and hit a jersey
mics from my house. I can see
Jersey mics from my house. That'd probably
suit you for that if you do that and I'll throw no rock.
They might because I might hit the
coals next door. But
there's, you know, a Papa, or not Papa
John's, Jimmy John's just a little
ways away, but pot belly would be a
20 minute drive for me sadly. They're just such
a good sandwich. Oh my gosh.
So anyway,
they go, they lay
me down. The
they reel me in.
Dr. Schmidt is my doctor, Schmidt, which rhymes with shit, which I think is funny,
just because he's a bum, he's a bum doctor, right?
Sure.
Anyway, whatever.
That was all my, everything was coming up funny references for the day, Mario Day, plumbers, all this.
It just was great.
Dr. Schmidt, I'm laughing about this.
Yeah.
So they wheel me in there, and this guy who's the anesthetist, his name was Jeff or something,
he looked like a guy I went to high school with, and I didn't find that comforting.
It's not, he's not fun.
He's not really from my high school,
but I'd swear in a lineup, that was this guy
I went to high school with.
Wow.
Okay.
So he's like, yeah, we're just going to put it in.
You'll be all set, this, that, and the other.
You'll fall right asleep.
I'm like, sweet.
Let's get this over with.
Let's go.
I get on my side.
I got Dr. Scopey pants on the rear over here.
Getting ready to do his thing.
He says, you're going to go right out.
I said, okay, sweet.
Takes this milky white looking syringe,
puts it in my port and goes,
and I don't know if you're supposed to go.
that fast. Maybe it's fine. But if you just pump in this milk into my veins at like the speed of
light, that seems too fast. I don't know why, but I didn't like it. Either way, that's the last thing
I remember, except I remember a taste in my mouth. You can sometimes taste it. Yes. Yes. Don't like that.
They're like, you're going to, when we put this in, you're going to have a weird taste for a second.
It's like, really what? Yeah, it's really bad. And then you don't have enough time to be pissed because
you're going to be out, right? So you can't really.
backwards from 10 oh okay
yeah
they didn't have me count
I just went out
but here's the last thing I remember
and this is where my biggest beef is
the guy hadn't
squeezed the goo into me yet
so he's got it in the
port his thumb is on it
yeah and I feel something
horking around with my hooter
right then
and I mean like
plastic kind of like a
kind of hurryer they in is putting like a
gas
basket in there. It's the best way I can describe it is basically like a little holder
holes. I can put his, I don't know what it is. But he's the tube of it there. He's jamming it
in there and I can feel it and it hurts. Not like, ah, hurts, but like, ah, what are you doing
back there, Doc? You know, like his Fletch moment. And I'd never make it in prison.
Oh, no way, dude. I would make it about a day, if that. So he starts doing that. And in my head,
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't even have the goo in yet.
What are we doing?
Yeah.
I want the full value of my propapinol or whatever it is.
Exactly.
This part I'm not supposed to experience at all because of this.
Yeah.
This is in there.
Exactly.
I shouldn't feel any of this.
And then I get the taste.
I still got, you know, Jackhammer Jim back there starting to put it in there.
And I can feel that.
And I feel the taste.
And I almost said, oh, I was going to say I feel that.
Meaning I feel you already working back there, Mr.
No patience.
Like what, give it a minute.
And then out, I was done.
Oh, that's good.
You didn't get a chance to say, oh, my God, I can feel you inside me.
Yeah, no, but I also have a question.
I will not.
They hear that all the time.
I asked Kim a thing in the car, I guess, what I was a little bit stoned.
And I can't say it on, I can't say it on the air.
Oh, no, just, yeah, you don't need to.
Yeah.
Basically, based on the fact that what I said triggered you mentioning something that you can't say,
yeah all right you're exactly on the you're on the path Brian you get me so oh why was the gym recording
i know right oh i can actually answer that she didn't record in the car because she was driving
but in the place they have a new policy it's a new hippa it's their policy i don't think it applies
everywhere sure but because they have recovery in a space that is also curtained off and then
there are other people in recovery yeah they won't let you record video or audio or anything
because you are potentially going to pick up other people's audio and then that's a violation of their stuff,
which makes sense to me.
I totally get it, but she didn't record me.
But the funny thing about it is, I don't know if it's just a different formulation than they used to be.
Maybe Tolbert can chime in on this.
But it didn't leave me in a state like last time where I was on going, Twitter, lied, and all that chint.
I didn't do any of that.
I kind of just kind of woke up.
I was jokey with the nurse lady.
I told her to thank Teflon for the fine work, you know, and answered all her questions.
I was cogent.
I was a little wobbly when I sat up, but not anything too serious.
Like it was actually way less this time, and I don't know what that's about.
Maybe I was just less sensitive to it.
I don't know.
No, that's great.
But anyway, then I went ate a pot belly sub so fast that I had to, Kim had to slow me down.
But I was so hungry, dude.
I'm sure, yeah.
Plus I was kind of stoned and like munchies, you know.
know like yeah yeah plus i hadn't eaten for 24 hours so hungry right your your your body was saying
oh this is good your mind was saying get it into me as quickly as possible i just horked it just
about inhaled it yeah um and my body thanked me anyway all clear no issues no nothings i have
he's just like yep you're one of them 10 years we'll see you in 10 and i said you'll be retired by
the time i see you again he's like oh and then he left so dr schmidt thanks for the thanks for
for the early poke that I definitely
felt and also thanks for the kind of
tender. It's still a little tender today
I think maybe he was one of those guys that was like
we got to get going. We got to get it
in there. Hold him still.
Because last time I wasn't all
tender and stuff. This time I just feel like I got
worked a bit. It feels like they
put a leg on you to keep you steady while they
slunge you. Like him and Jeff are having
a laugh and texting photos to
Teflon to let him know how it went. Like it felt
a little like the Seinfeld
menaced thing a little bit okay you know where wadley where wadley's getting dressed while he's
coming out of the out of the anesthesia or whatever it's like he's zipping up yeah it was a little
like that just kind of just a little adjacent to that but everything's good no polyps no weirdness
no nothing he said you're you're as good clean as a whistle he said and i said all right well
thanks thanks schmidt or shit i mean Schmidt says i anyway it's all good thanks everybody for
patience sorry about yesterday yeah yeah
But I don't have any audio, not like last time.
That was a fun time, but we're never going to do that again there, apparently.
Yep, yep.
Not allowed.
Oh, well.
And then when Brian goes this year, you won't have Schmidt.
You'll probably have someone who takes their time, lets the anesthesia happen first, you know.
Maybe there's, you know, a mandate across the board to all colonoscopy facilities to speed it up.
You're not getting patients through fast enough.
Could be.
Quotas.
You know.
exactly just use the same tube on two people you know you move it from one guy jam the other end into
another guys you're pulling it out of uh patient a yeah jam it in the other end goes into patient
b so you can keep things moving maybe some weird south african immigrant put out an email that said
tell me five really fast things you did this week or else you're out of here maybe that happened
i don't know yeah maybe who knows uh maybe i think you reply uh oh i don't want to pull it out of
my ass. I'm going to
off air or at some point
I'll text you what I said in the car
because I think you should hear it, but I can't say it. I can't
say it on me. Okay. All right. Because it's just
wrong. Don't worry, audience. I'll share it with you the next time
I... Yeah. I mean, maybe a text
version in Discord. Maybe I'll do it in the TMS Discord. It's not, I mean, it's not
earth-shattering, but it's the kind of thing that it's just gross. I can't say it
on the air. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaking of pressure on the body, we talked about that before our break, talking about, like, astronauts, how they train, the kind of, you know, what do you call that centrifuge thing where you got a?
The centrifuge chamber, yeah, where James Bond gets in and they keep cranking the number, the dial up, and Roger Moore's face is rippling.
Yeah, that whole bit.
Hey, Penny, this sucks. I'm spilling my martini.
We should have sex in here.
Did he actually, he didn't have a love affair inside of a woman?
Not a woman inside there, no.
It was just him in Moonraker, if I remember correctly,
spinning around and his face is rippling,
which makes me think that they,
what, they probably just shot like a high pressure air hose at his face.
Probably.
Like a wind,
like a leaf blower kind of thing.
Right.
Must have been.
But I don't know if Roger Morrow was at the state that then physically.
That he could have handled being in an actual one of those?
Yeah.
Because I feel like if you put me in there,
you know how people,
they get knocked out in there all the time,
even really good shape,
young astronaut hopefuls, I think I'd last about one turn.
That'd be it for me.
Me too.
Yeah.
They'd have to clean up after.
What?
You haven't turned it on yet?
I'm already dizzy.
Yeah.
Not a fan of that sort of idea.
But anyway, we got a call.
This is from Eric.
And it's about pressure to the body.
Hey, this message is for Scott and Brian.
Obviously on the morning stream, you guys are just talking about pressure and how it affects
the body. I'm in the Air Force and we have to go through what's called the altitude chamber
as part of our every five-year flight physical. And one of the things that's most noticeable
is you go into the chamber and you have to take your mask off, they simulate that you're up to
40,000 feet. Well, they have a little glove, a latex glove that they blow up like a balloon
and that thing just swells as you go up in altitude because of the pressure change. Well,
your guts do the same thing and so everyone's just cracking them off left and right and that is probably
the smelliest place and there's just nothing you can do about it it is foul but it's definitely an
encouragement to throw that oh-2 mask back on and uh get out of there as soon as possible but anyway always
learn something new and for those that didn't know it yeah it's it's not just your ears that pop it can be your
guts as well so fun stuff anyway keep up the good work that's awesome perfect day for that
thanks for that yeah no kidding yeah gnarly i mean i didn't i didn't realize they did a
i knew that you know centrifuge and i knew they're always testing your your lungs and stuff like that
but i didn't know that they had like a um a way of artificially creating pressure or um altitude
pressure or i guess is what he's saying and that balloon probably is just like your
indicator that it's working.
Right.
So the higher you go, the more, if the balloon's working, then they know the training's working.
But that seems crazy to me.
It'd probably get that same thing when you come up from the ocean floor.
So those movies where people are coming up from like the abyss and they've got to slowly come up so that the pressure can get regulated in the pot and stuff.
Probably a lot of farting going on in there too.
Yeah.
Or they call that the bends?
You get the bends if you come up too quick.
Yeah.
you go too fast yeah there's some of that in silo season two we see there is indeed yeah you're caught up right
you've seen though yeah i'm caught up yep man i love that show dude yeah have not started severance
season two yet but i'm excited yeah we're getting close right uh season or episode eight was just friday

up. It's your own personal Netflix, where they put
them all out at once. Exactly. I want
like binging. I'm a big
binger, too. I prefer it. I don't have
a, I don't have a, I have a memory like a goldfish
as we're going to see later with TV's
Travis.
Oh, yeah.
Today, I keep forgetting I got to be on my, I need to be hydrated.
I got this water.
Yeah, you do.
I was so stupid yesterday after all this was done.
I felt so, everything sounded dumb.
Oh, we should have done it yesterday.
That's so bad.
I did a show with Carter and I sounded like an idiot the entire time.
So way better today.
I got a little caffeine in me.
I got lots of water, which I was still a little dehydrate.
I'm not peeing that often.
The doctor says, just drink a ton of water.
You'll get there.
A little dried out, you know, feeling a little crispy.
Brian, what else here?
Oh, oh, this is you.
This is you.
Tell me the story.
Sorry.
I have an Uber story.
This was Thursday.
No, it had to be Friday because we didn't have a show the next day, and I've been, like, sitting on this story.
Now, you know, however many years it's been of doing this show, 14 years of doing TMS.
and 21 years of Coverville and, you know, everything else,
you all kind of have a sense of me and how easy going I am and how go with the flow
and, you know, if something irritates me, I'd usually try and figure out a way to make a joke
about it and laugh at it and stuff, but I try not to let things really, really get to me.
It was the end of my day.
I was about to end the day driving for Uber, and I do.
even said it to the point where
I was only taking rides that
got me closer to home.
And it gave
me a ride without it even telling me
it was going to give me a ride, which
makes me think I might have missed the
notification and it just, you know,
timed all the way through and then gave me the
ride. Sure.
And so like,
all right, well, and it's out of my way, but
it's not too far out of my way. And I think
even though I'm picking them up out of the way,
it's going, I'm dropping them off.
in the right direction.
Sure.
So,
but I noticed the pickup location is a place called P.T.'s show club, which is a strip club.
Oh, hey.
And I'm like, and I'm like, and then the name is Alex.
So it's either going to be a drunk dude or it's going to be a sex worker, short for
Alexandra, who basically will just want the music off a quiet right all the way home,
and I'm totally fine with that.
Sure.
She may just be a stripper for the record.
She may not be a sex worker, right?
I'm sorry, yeah.
I guess I think of stripping as sex work as well because it's exotic dancing.
I thought you always had to have a weiner out.
Actual, actual sex.
I don't know.
I am so not knowledgeable in this area.
I have no idea, Brian.
You might be totally right.
For whatever reason, I thought the term stripper was not favorable these days, but maybe not.
Maybe exotic dancer.
So we'll get happy women's history month, everybody.
somebody somebody let us know
chat please gently correct me
yeah um anyway so i i i get there
or no i'm sorry i'm driving there and um i get the little
boing uh passenger has sent you a message and i'm like really okay
and i click the thing and it's just the word here oh like they're ready i'm here
well what does that even mean here i don't know because i can see his location on the
the map and he's he's gone about a block closer than the spoiler alert it's a he
he's gone about a block closer than the than the than the strip club so I'm like all right
well I guess I guess I'm picking him up there and he's stupidly moved from the strip club
which has a parking lot to a place where there's a street and no parking lot it's like
right on the edge of a car dealership that's that's that's either a close
for the evening, or maybe they work on cars or whatever.
And I'm driving the opposite direction.
So basically, I have to make a U-turn.
There's a very wide sidewalk with actual driveway lips on the thing,
so I can kind of go up onto the sidewalk.
There's nobody else walking there.
I see where the dude is.
It's going to take just a second to pick them up.
So I just decided, you know what, I don't want to park,
I don't want to stop on the street.
It's dangerous.
This is a 45-mile-an-hour street.
So I'm going to get off and get onto the side.
headwalk. So a U-turn, I get on there, I see where the guy's doing, he's just sitting there on the, on the, um, leaning up against a car in this lot.
Mm-hmm.
And, uh, do you think he did that, by the way, do you think he did that to get away? He didn't want you to think he was in front of a strip club. Do you think that's why he went up the road? Okay. Just curious about that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, yep. So, um, immediately as he opens the door, I can tell how hammered he is. Like,
he's tripping just getting his foot up high enough to get into the car.
And he stumbles kind of into the car and he's like, oh, thanks, man.
And then I hear, like, what's that?
And I looked down and it said, ride or canceled.
What?
Oh, dude, did you just cancel the ride?
He's like, oh, did it?
Oh, man, I'm sorry.
Well, you know, can you help me out?
I'll just give you cash.
So this was some horse shit is what this is.
This was some horse shit.
Exactly. This was, I'm going to book a $4 ride to go somewhere, but really I want you to take me far away.
Dude, I'll just give you, I'll just give you $100 cash if you just drive me.
I'm like, no, no, you need to get out of my car now.
And I'm, and I'm doing it sort of in, not in a joking voice, but kind of like I just did, like, no, you need to get out of my car now.
Like, still friendly but firm.
Friendly but firm. That's how you, exactly. That's how you do it.
That's why you do it.
Exactly. Yeah.
so I you know he's like oh man come on just help me out come on just help me I'm like nope and now my phone goes
it's given me another ride and I'm like but I see that it's going the wrong way so I cancel it but he's
not looking and I say oh I've already got another ride dude I've got to I've got to go take this ride
it's already given it to me I can't I totally can't help you out and he's like oh come on I'll just
give you a hundred bucks and I said do you need me to help you out and he's like yeah
Do you just help me out?
I said, no, do you need me to help you out of my car?
And I say it just like that.
I love that he thought you meant help him out like ways than asking.
Oh, that's funny, dude.
And so he finally, you know, like I say it twice, and he finally kind of gets up, opens the door,
tumbles his way out of the car, and slams the door.
as hard as he can like oh i'm gonna teach him a listen and close his door hard yeah i don't like
this guy at all i'm mad i don't either i'm annoyed yeah and i thought for a while i'm like oh should
i just save the audio i'm like no nobody needs to hear me you know getting getting firm and angry
with this guy so i decided not to save it but whew but you had but you had video in case something
drove off of the sidewalk and back onto the road so if something had gone bad you would have
video you have video it's not like i have video of it had video it's only on there for 24 hours so
the next day was gone right but um uh yeah it it you know it's like i don't need that i could
smell oh my god the alcohol he it was like every word out of his mouth was was 300 proof
it was uh horrendous yeah it just yeah it's kind of the whole well right that'd be a lot although
it would be a lot
Can the human body even handle that, I wonder?
I don't even know what that would do.
No, probably not.
Probably not.
So that makes me feel bad for anyone he was that he gave shit to in that bar or in that
Right, exactly.
Because I'm, there's a little part of me that's thinking, I'll bet he didn't leave on his own volition.
I'm going to guess that he was asked or forced to leave the bar.
And maybe that's why he was so far away from the place because they didn't even want him waiting in the parking lot.
for a ride.
Yeah.
I don't, yeah.
I would have been mad too.
That sucks.
I don't like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And also, if you're,
if when people don't go after the first friendly, like, no, I can't do it.
It's not the way this app works.
Sorry.
If that's not enough for someone, I, that's when I, you are a better person than me.
I would have lost my shit.
Well, I was going to.
Like if he, you know, I said it twice.
Do you need me to help?
help you get out of my car.
Yeah.
Said that twice.
And it was the second time he did.
If he didn't, he wasn't a big guy.
I would have just, it wouldn't have taken like, I wouldn't have had to hit the guy,
but I would have been able to, he was so drunk and dumb that I would have just had to
basically open the door, probably open the other window and the gust of wind would have blown
him out onto the sidewalk.
But, uh, I see this in my head.
I would have lifted him out.
I see you getting out of the car, putting on a pair of sunglasses.
CSI Miami.
And then grab that guy, throw him on the curb.
That's how this all ends in my head.
Yeah, yeah.
Unfortunately, no.
I'm glad it didn't get to that point.
Absolutely.
But anyway, the next day had a ride that made up for it.
I drove somebody from Loveland, Colorado, all the way down to South Denver,
hour and a half ride.
And we, she's an artist.
She did some of the welding in Meow Wolf.
She is, she sketched while I drove.
And we were talking all about art and music and the life she had.
Oh, my God, she was homeless for a little while.
She's now taking care of a couple older ladies who, in exchange, or letting her live with that.
Like, this woman was kind of inspirational, really, really cool.
And I say, you know, I think of her as a kid because she was 25 years old.
She's younger than Tristan.
Yeah, basically kids to us now.
That's how it works.
Yeah, they're legal adults, but they're like children.
We can't help it.
He's a good kid.
Good kid.
Oh, that's great.
See, sometimes karma comes right around the other corner and you get some good stuff out of it.
Exactly.
That's great.
Hey, Brian.
This will take five seconds, but I had a woman yesterday who I drove her one place.
And then she nicely offered me cash to drive her a few more places.
And I happily did it.
And I was this woman's, what's the movie?
Was it collateral damage?
I'm trying to think, like, I was her baby driver for the next hour because she'd been in a car accident, traumatic head trauma.
Oh, geez.
Same age as us.
And she told me the story of the accidents, like black guys flip, like, not going fast at all, but hit a curb just right, flipped her car.
And a sign went through her window and is what caused the traumatic head injury.
Oh, shit.
Like a road sign.
or a little short entrance sign.
It's like, yeah.
You probably just missed her then.
Well, I guess it hit her, but it didn't.
It hit her enough, but probably hit her.
If it hit her anymore, probably would have killed her.
Yeah, go an inch one direction or the other.
Damn.
She was great.
And, yeah.
See, two bits of karma for one crappy dude.
Exactly. Nice little return.
All right.
Big announcement, everybody.
Big announcement.
I'm going to play some music for you.
Brian, what's going on?
Well, Tom Merritt.
reached out to Hammond and I actually right before I took that that ride
reached out and said hey do you guys know anybody who does sports because we've got you
were wanting to do a daily sports headlines podcast kind of like the daily tech
headline somebody who does podcasting is familiar with that I said no but if you ever do a
daily music headlines podcast I'm your guy and he immediately replied what a great
idea let's do that still do the sports thing but why aren't we doing this so he and
Hammond and I, while I was in the parking lot of a Buckees, wiping barbecue sauce from a sandwich off of my chin, came up and came up with the format and the style and everything of the new Daily Music Headlines podcast, which starts March 24th.
We've got a demo episode up there right now.
There's some temporary, I think I even said this in the Discord, but people didn't see it apparently, temporary AI artwork in there because, Scott, you are working on some cool album art for us.
Yeah, very excited.
Tom,
Tom, usually when I get an email from Tom,
I'm like, oh, it's something new starting.
I get an album art.
I didn't realize it was for this project,
which I was also on the text for,
so I kind of got two ends of a thing.
I didn't realize they were related at first.
I was like, oh, shit, I get to do this?
Great.
I'm excited for you guys.
It's awesome.
Oh, I'm too.
This is fun.
I did the first episode yesterday as a little trial,
and, you know, it actually was the easiest podcast I've ever started,
honestly, and recorded and did all the prep for.
um it's going to be daily it uh it's going to be super short form just the headlines and it's not
going to be specific just to the music that you know i like you know your brit pop your power pop
rock and roll alternative we're going to be tied this you know this episode we just did talks about
um uh little naz x and l ll cool jay and ghost i do like ghost i like ghost i like glastonbury and
lady gaga and all that stuff so that's great that's uh that's so cool
So every day, DailyTechnewshow.com has links to it already, I see.
Oh, do they really?
I think so.
Let's see.
Is that the same one?
I think it is.
Yeah.
And then the feed will be, it's a little like Tom.
So if you're already getting Tom's daily tech headlines or whatever, sounds like
similar vibe, quick, easy to digest, get it every day, bam, boom, bum, you're done.
Remodeled it just like that because that's a format that works.
That's what I would listen to.
That's great.
Very cool.
You do a show that you yourself would listen to.
So, again, March 24th, but you can start, you can subscribe right now, and then you'll get the show as soon as it, as soon as it starts up on, in March.
Nice.
Hammett is producing.
We've got backup people for when Hammond and I are traveling or on vacation or whatever, can't make a show.
Eileen's going to step in.
Tom himself is going to step in and do the, do the headline.
The daily K-pop headlines with all Cape.
Exactly.
It's going to be all Black Pink.
Yeah.
The Black Pink 10 men.
minutes of your day.
Nicely done.
That's great.
Very exciting.
Very cool stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I saw that when I was in the midst of my great hunger.
I'm sure.
And I thought, oh, these guys are going to make something cool.
I'm going to go lay down.
Right.
All right.
Well, there you have it.
Let's do a news story today.
A news story.
A news story, as the kids say.
Here you go.
Let's talk about the news, Brian, brought to you by.
A huge tub of orange jelly.
It's all I ate the whole day.
I'm sure you did.
Big tub of jello.
And I didn't think I would be so ravenous.
Kim brought it out of the fridge.
It was in like Tupperware and I went.
I'm sure.
And it was, you know, virtually nothing, calorically speaking, but it was.
No, but it felt good to eat something even if you weren't really eating something.
Yeah.
Damn, the prep day sucks.
I'm sorry.
It doesn't matter how you paint it, what you do.
They should put you out for that.
Just have a whole day of meat on the probe of pulp and all.
They should.
Yeah.
Right.
Just put you like, making a room that looks like that movie, coma with a whole bunch of patients waiting for their colonoscopy the next day, just all hooked up to tubes and dangling from wires from the ceiling.
Yep, yep, exactly.
Did you ever see that movie, by the way?
No, I don't think I ever did.
But I'm familiar with the scene for some reasons.
Trailers or something or scenes I've seen.
Something like that.
Rufus DeKat says Jello is made from horse hooves.
Incorrect.
It is made from cow hooves.
And I'm not even sure that's true anymore now.
I was going to say, it used to be, and I don't know if it still is,
that there's like a, there's like a, um, a thickening agent now that is not, like,
keratin based.
Yeah, it's thick and, it's thick and liquid to a point that Brian'll eat it.
That's how thick it is.
Right.
Exactly.
It's crossed over from being the liquid I like to the liquid I hate, then back to the solid I
like.
Exactly.
Jeannie says somebody's hooves.
She's right.
There's somebody's hooves.
All right.
here's your one story we're going to read man forced to sit next to a corpse for hours after
passenger dies on a long haul flight this is one of my worst nightmares i hate this idea so much
this wasn't one of my worst nightmares until i heard about this and then i said oh yeah this is one of my
worst nightmares i mean you do it because you're there and you're you're you're a we're a society we
try to take care of each other even when something stark like this happens but this is out went
when michel or excuse me rich mitchell ring and jennifer collins saw spare seats on their flight from
Melbourne to Doha.
Doha? Doha. Doha.
Is that it?
Capital of...
Oh, geez. I get this
all the time on the crossword.
New York Times crossword. Doha is...
Is it still Australia?
No, no, no, no. It's...
New Zealand?
No, Middle East.
Oh, okay.
Is it Oman? It's not UAE.
That's Abu Dhabi.
Qatar. It is Qatar.
Qatar. Doha guitar?
It is Qatar.
It sounds like a good.
It does. I just got myself a brand new doha guitar.
It's pretty awesome, man. You'd hear the high chords.
Anyway, they thought they'd lucked out because they found these two seats,
but a dream trip to Venice quickly turned to a nightmare when a passenger dialed whilst in the air.
I love the word whilst. We don't use it enough.
That man's name was Gene Hackman.
That's right. Gene Hackett, probably little soon.
All right, all right. I'll save it. I'll save it for next week.
Next week's Dead Guy story.
And that man's name was the great actor.
Let's see.
The crew decided to put the dead passenger's body in Ring and Collins Row for the remaining four hours of the flight.
Four hours.
A couple said they were traumatized by the incident which unfolded when a woman walked out of the bathroom and collapsed next to their row.
And so was a lady.
I was pictured as a dude for some reason.
I did too, yeah.
I don't know why.
I don't know what bias that is in me, but I thought it was a dude.
Anyway, unfortunately.
So go ahead.
Oh, I was going to say, I did too.
Like, even hearing just the headline of this story a couple days ago, I was like, oh, man, some dude died on a plane and they just put him next to a, you know, people who paid for the flight.
I don't know why.
I don't know why I defaulted to that, but I did.
Anyway, she couldn't be saved, which was pretty heartbreaking to watch says ring.
He's now owned by Amazon, by the way.
Just kidding.
It's a terrible joke.
They tried to wheel her towards business class, but she was a large lady, and they couldn't get her through the aisle.
They looked a bit frustrated and they looked at me and saw seats are available.
My wife was on the other side and on the row.
They said, can we please move over?
And we said, yes, no problem.
They then placed the lady in the chair I was in.
And that basically was the next four hours sitting next to, I mean, it's a, it's still a, it was the right thing to do.
Yeah.
But man, do you got no other options.
Can you, can you, I don't know.
I don't know what you do.
What else do you do?
Can she have the middle seat?
Because I really want the aisle.
It would just be hard, man.
I remember talking about a story a while back,
and it probably was because they weren't able to get this woman through the aisle,
which sounds like a very horrible situation, embarrassing.
Oh, the whole thing sounds embarrassing, yeah, for everything.
Didn't we find out that they actually have a place on planes?
It's kind of like what Hallie Berry did in Passenger 57,
where she got down to the other level.
Oh, the little elevator thing.
A little elevator and there's like a place,
like they have a containment thing
where they can put a body in cargo or something.
Oh, yeah, maybe we did talk.
Now it's ringing a bell and maybe they could go down to cargo.
I wonder she'd fit in that.
Yeah, it wasn't that movie.
It was the one with, um, shoot.
There's like three moves.
Oh, that is that the, that's not red eye.
Red eye, turbulence.
No, red eye was Killian Murphy with,
with um rachel mccadams right rachel mccadams yes and then there was one with um jim carey's ex-wife oh yeah what was the one with
liam nison we saw recently than leam nison one that was uh what was that flight time flight time
Microsoft flight simulator the movie there was executive decision tools on a plane you know
Get off of my plane.
Turbulence?
That was it, maybe.
What's the one with, what's the one with, what's the one with Halle Berry?
Is that, is that turbulence?
I think that's turbulence where nonstop was the, no, that's executive decision.
That's right.
That's the one because she's helping out Kurt Russell and.
Oh, was she?
I can't remember, dude.
Those movies shouldn't blend together so well.
They all knew, though.
It's, you know, it's not like the deep impact and Armageddon because there's a confined
space where they're doing their thing. Yes, it's absolutely
executive decisions with Halle Berry going
down the elevator and helping out
Kurt Russell. Right.
Steven Seagall died in the first like 10 minutes. Remember that?
Yep, exactly. That's great. I remember that now.
Okay. Well, now we've cleared that up.
Excellent.
I was going to say something, though. What was it?
Oh, it'd be fun. It'd be fun to see how many
we've sacked. How many airplane disaster movies
we've sacked? I feel like when
we did the most recent thing with Liam
and Randy gave us a list of all the ones that we had done.
And we did two back-to-back.
Like, we did Red Eye and Turbulance, I think.
Back-to-back, yeah.
In two consecutive weeks, yeah.
Which was a weird thing to do.
That was a weird thing for us to do.
It was a weird thing to do because it also made us the second week think,
oh, yeah, you know what I didn't like was the scene where, oh, wait, no, that was two weeks ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, because one of them there was cocaine in a bathroom.
I think that's the Nieson one.
I can't remember, dude.
It's all mixed up.
Not turbulence. Nonstop. Thank you, Rainbow Bright.
Yeah. Nonstop was the Neeson. Oh, those are the two we did? Okay.
See, I'd have to just take their word for it. Turbulance was one with Liam Neeson?
No, that nonstop was Neeson, I think.
Nonstop is Neeson, okay.
See, this is the problem.
See? And we didn't even watch the one with Lauren, with, yeah, with Lauren Hawley either, which is.
Oh, we haven't even seen that?
I don't think we have. That wasn't passenger 57. She wasn't like the lady on that plane. Okay.
Turbulence was with Ray Leota
I don't remember it
Right, right, yeah
I don't remember that at all
Oh my gosh dude
All right well
Airplane movies
Turbulance is the one with Lauren Holly
And we
Did we see that one
Let's see here
Quick sack it
Yep
Exactly
Let's see here
We did not
We have not watched
Turbulance on film sac
Yep you're right
We haven't
But all that other stuff we have
crazy
all other
I think we've even done
nightmare at whatever
thousand feet or no
30,000 feet yep
because we did
twilights on the movie
yeah right
the George Miller segment
and then we did
watch Air Force One
get off my plane
yeah
what else is there
yeah whatever
we'll figure it out
somebody go make that list for us
okay even if Randy already did it
do it again
all right
we're going to take a break
when we come back from this break
we'll be in
out with our old pal uh tvs travis he's going to throw some trivia our way and see how we do i don't
remember what the rankings are at this point in the year you're you're winning two nothing
really so far this year yes that seems improbable uh but it does not help that it's on tuesdays when
i get gassed from from orange theory and i'm wiped out oh that's true well for freaks sake that's true
we've pushed your brain's already had it's uh you know it's shot all its neurons today already so
I can't even remember airplane movies.
How am I supposed to remember anything else?
It's because you've been going nonstop with a little turbulence, and your eyes are red.
Anyway.
That's right.
Exactly.
Let's take that break.
Let's play a song, and then we'll come back and talk to Travis after that.
What do you got?
Yeah, we're going to New York City for a minimalist folk quartet called Florist.
They've got a brand new album coming out on April 4th.
It's called Jelly Wish on Double Double Whammy Records.
This is great. This is a really cool song. Don't, you know, don't hear the word minimalist and think, oh, this is going to be, you know, sparse and unpleasant and just plink plunk with a vocal. No, no, this is really cool. This is a brand new song. This is the first single from the album, Jelly Wish. It's called Have Heaven. Here is the band Florist.
Took a long breath in the middle of a body
Took a long breath in the middle of a town
found myself in a body
There was a long fragment of colors coming
from the baby's eyes
From the mother's side
From my own eye turning blind
long walk in the place I came to hide from.
It was uncomfortable.
Can you hear?
I think there's a song singing
through the particle fields.
I could have a heaven too.
I could have a heaven three.
three I could have a heaven four I could have a heaven five you could have a heaven six we could have a heaven so soon will be nothing but a cartoon floating through the universe does it feel
like everything is melting here are we giving up now can't seem to see it's winter and the garden's dying but the light comes through the naked trees have you heard i want to be i want to be
your fistful of the morning dirt
I could have a heaven two
I could have a heaven three
I could have a heaven four
I could have a heaven five
you could have a heaven six
we could have a heaven
This is now Mr. Kansas law dog
Law don't go around here.
Savvy.
Big.
And we've returned. Tell me about that song one more time.
Sure, that is the band, Florist, a minimalist pop quartet, folk quartet from New York City,
with their brand new album coming out April 4th.
It is called Jelly Wish, not Jellyfish, but Jelly Wish.
And that's their late single.
It is called Have Heaven.
Here, have Heaven.
Oh, have some heaven.
Have heaven.
Heaven is a little place on Earth or something.
That's what Belinda Carlisle would tell us.
She would tell us that on skis.
She would ask us if you knew what it was worth.
Was that the ski video or is that her on her own doing something else?
The Go-Gos did a ski video where they're all stacked.
Yes, the water skiing video was a vacation.
Oh, that's right.
That's not good.
Because they were on vacation, water skiing together.
That's too much for a vacation.
In front of the Greek.
screen going. Yeah, I'm sure they weren't really doing it.
No, no. Well, I'll tell you who is doing it every single freaking day. This guy.
This is Travis, and you'll do well to listen carefully to what he has to say. TV's Travis,
podcaster and trivia man extraordinaire, joins us as he does often, at least once a month here on the show.
Hello, Travis. How are you doing, man?
I'm doing well. How are you boys doing? You know what's weird to think? You've only got two more of these until, wait.
you have one more of this one this one and next month and then we're going to see you in person
yeah and then and then i'm going to think about oh let me think about what Travis did to me for
the last three months for task you yeah and then no it's good to have you here man
even even though he carries him wherever he goes and i do Brian doing a doing a mile that's uh
I mean anybody that will run a mile has my respect having been a distance runner in high
school I know what that's like
It's hard.
It was tough.
I was the last one off the treadmills, but I was also the oldest one on the treadmills.
And I still did it in 10 minutes and 40 seconds, which I feel pretty good about it.
It's faster than I did last time and faster than the time before.
Not bad.
That's all you think is not bad at all.
What you call that is progress is what you call that.
But running is stupid, and you should only do it if you're being chased.
I agree as somebody who used to literally do that as a recreational activity.
I 100% agree.
Well, there you go. Now you get your beard all stuck
and your feet and stuff. You can't have that.
Yeah, tripping on it.
Well, Gandalf the Gray, let's get straight to it.
We do some trivia with you. You lay it on us thick and we see who wins.
Let's give it a show.
And Brian is right. Scott, you are up to nothing so far this year.
That's crazy.
We've got to change that, hopefully change that today.
Insane.
Yeah, so we're going to do a little name that thing.
We're going to start with Brian. You get round one.
So you'll get to open our bidding.
We're looking for a director based on top.
of movies that they have directed.
Cool.
All right.
I can do three.
Three.
Hmm.
Two's not bad.
Do I blow all my cards early or not?
I could do it in two.
I'll try it in two.
All right?
I'll take one because there's nothing for me to lose by doing, by trying it in one.
Sure.
Good point.
All right, Brian, here is your one film.
This person has directed.
Okay.
Air.
Air.
Airbud?
Are we talking Airbud?
Because I know all the directors of all the Airbud movies.
I don't know.
I don't think anyone directed those movies.
They were directed by the dog.
Yes, right.
Exactly.
Air.
Oh, I know the movie, too.
Yes, it's the, it's the Nike one with Ben Affleck and, uh,
Brad Pitt or something.
Was it Brad Pitt, anyway.
Was that
was that Steven Soderberg?
Incorrect.
I believe that
I can get another one, right?
You get another movie.
You get one more if you'd like.
I think I know it, but I want to,
let's just, I can get a movie, so let's do it.
Okay.
So another movie this person directed is The Town.
Okay, it's definitely Ben Affleck then.
yes okay so was that he was him and uh his old pal uh martian damon mad damon mad damon that's right
there was damon is the was the sales guy yeah yeah i still haven't seen that i heard it was great though
was it good yep there was also uh live by night argo and gone baby gone we're all directed by ben affleck yeah
argo i knew for sure i thought maybe if you were if that was your second one but the town i still
i don't see the town either but i knew he directed him oh really i hear the town's great i need to
He's watched the freaking town.
Yeah, I've heard that.
It was really good, too.
Yeah, and I wish I would have remembered that Ben Affleck not only acted in it, but actually
directed the damn thing.
Speaking of which, he's got a sequel to the accountant coming out, which is old now.
Isn't that movie, like, from 2003 or four or something like that?
No, it was like early 2010s, I think.
Okay.
I was surprised when I saw the trailer for that, and I thought, wait, that movie's getting a sequel.
Yeah, it's got Baranthal and his ears in there and all that stuff.
right I kind of want to see the first I've never seen it maybe we should film
like that that might be a good one to do yeah I haven't seen that either and I kind of
want to watch the first one now to see why because I didn't think that that had much
of a following I thought it was just sort of it came and went but yeah he claimed in some
interview saw some interview on tech talk or YouTube or something where he said it's the
number one movie people ask him about which I went really what interesting I'll bet that
and it's got to be one that just did so much better when it came to streaming then
has to be because I don't I barely remember
it even happened.
Yeah. Anyway. All right.
So we're good. We're moving. I feel good.
All right. Next question. Scott's up one.
Yeah. Scott is up one and now he gets
to open the bidding for round two, which is going to be an actor by titles
of projects they have been in. Okay.
So they've acted in them when you say that, right?
Not executive produced or something like that. These are things that they have acted in.
Okay. I will go with
I'll go
I'll go with three
Three all right
Brian
I will take two
Name that actor
God do you want to try
All right
Here are your two projects Brian
Okay
Emerald City
Okay
The Cell
Okay
Well I saw
The cell
I don't remember a thing about
I don't remember even remember
an Emerald City
the cell was that was that that weird trippy one with jennifer lopez i'm going to say
jennifer lopez so yeah the cell is basically a two hour long tool video is what it is right
so jennifer lopez is your answer that's my guess yes incorrect
um scott do you want to risk it or do you want your third give me get a third one if you
give me my third one all right law and order criminal intent
Criminal intent.
Oh, um, uh,
wait a minute.
Criminal intent was the one that was after SVU.
I watched it for a while.
Oh, it's the guy that played the bug.
Um, and men in black, he's kingpin.
oh really
what's his name
it's a big long name
he's in Jurassic
a couple of those Jurassic Park
redoes it's
a full metal jacket
Vincent Donofrio
damn it
is it that it? Is it that it?
Yes that's it
Oh I've never seen the cell so I didn't know he was in that
but I had to have been him
It was either that or his co-host on criminal intent.
I don't remember her name.
Yeah, so he, in the cell, he plays the heavy.
He is the, he's also a couple more.
We're going to be the 13th floor and men in black.
Okay.
Emerald City, I haven't seen, but that was a 10-episode series in 2017,
and based on sort of a prequel to Wizard of Oz, and he plays The Wizard.
Oh, no way.
Oh, really?
Okay.
I would watch that.
I like that guy a lot.
I do, too.
I didn't need, I barely remember that he was in the cell as the,
the main antagonist, if I remember correctly, but...
Yeah, he gets really method-act-y,
and so he really dives into roles,
and that'll happen sometimes.
I still think they should have...
And it was kind of comedic,
but I think he should have gotten a nomination for Men and Black.
He was so good in that.
Oh, he was so good in Men and Black.
It was unbelievable.
There was, like, some kind of physical award
for, like, embodying something.
He would get that award.
Yeah.
All right, I feel like I got lucky on that one.
Yeah.
So Scott is up to zero in this game.
We're on a round three, which is our musical round.
So, Brian, you get to start our bidding here.
I have clips of this opening of this song at one second, two seconds, four, six, and then a 12 second intro.
So larger than one is four or two?
There is a two.
Okay.
Yep.
I'm going to take the one because if I take two and Scott takes one,
you know, it could be something right up his alley,
so I don't even want a chance.
So I'll take the one.
All right.
All right.
Here is your one second of this song, Brian.
Oh, shit.
Is that evanescence bring me to life?
That is correct.
Nicely done.
That just had an anniversary or something, that song.
Something like that.
I read somewhere.
two, three,
or maybe I was in the doctor's office yesterday,
but it was something like that,
like some 18 year anniversary or something like that.
And I don't think it coincided with,
oh,
that may have just,
I think I,
I think Brian and I might know your theme today.
Kind of have an idea.
Possibly.
Yes,
exactly.
Possibly,
a certain movie launch right around then that may have a comment.
Right,
they have had a few of those things in it.
Yeah, yeah.
Possibly.
All right.
So, Scott,
you're up to one.
Okay.
Round four is another actor.
but this is going to be characters that the actor has played.
Okay.
You were right, Brian, to do that on the last song, I would have known it.
Yeah, good.
So that was the right risk to take.
And I never do.
So that was like complete.
I know.
Yeah, that was right.
That was kind of right in your wheelhouse that.
All right.
Saw them open up for My Chemical Romance.
No, Fallout Boy.
So I have an essence open up for Fall.
out boy oh how were they that'd be an interesting show yeah so it's okay weird combo those two bands
i would probably watch the opening act and then leave not a huge fallout boy fan but evan essence
i will watch i will listen to it who does uh i'm pretty sure it was fallout boy wasn't panic of the
disco it was uh yeah pretty sure it's fallout boy somebody ended up with tickets they couldn't use
they hit me up and said brand do you want these and teen i hung out there with all the the emoes uh
nice the emo kids
You're like chaperones for all the emo kids.
That's how it feels when I go to concerts sometimes.
Oh, what are you kids doing over there?
I'll take care of this.
Does your mom know you dressed like that?
Come on.
All right.
So you're going to give us characters.
We have to name the actor.
Yeah, and it's me.
Is my turn?
Okay.
Yes, it's your turn.
Well, this is like the song when I feel like I need to go one
to,
risk it because we're in the theme zone and we feel like we maybe can do this.
So I'm going to, I'm going to try to do it in one.
Okay.
This might be folly.
This may be stupid.
I'll take two.
Just kidding.
All right, Scott, here's your one character that this actor has played.
Okay.
Coach.
Oh, um, coach.
Well, there are a couple of coaches.
So the question is
Which coach?
Could also be the area of the plane that the dead guy was sitting in.
The dead woman was sitting there.
Yeah, it's just a thing, coach.
It sounds like she was.
I'm going to assume it's not the cheers coach.
That's not a movie anyway.
So that takes care of that.
The other coach...
I just said it's characters.
Yeah, yeah.
Didn't specify movie or television.
Law and Order,
criminal intent is a TV show.
Yeah.
Shit.
But I'm going to say,
I'll just say the obvious one,
but this is going to be wrong.
Because I don't know where he fits in the theme.
Craig T. Nelson.
Incorrect.
Can I take a guess?
Yeah.
You can take a guess.
You won't give me an extra one, though,
because we didn't start with bidding with two, right?
correct yeah I'm gonna say let's say Colin Farrell that's correct
oh shit coach oh in the gentleman just on theme
it's in the gentleman isn't it that coach thing I don't even know what it was in but I was
like well I'm gonna guess I love that movie Colin Farrell I love the movie the gentleman so
much it's really good and he is fantastic as coach especially the scene in the chip
shop when the ruffians come in
and he just
mops the floor with him while mocking them the whole time.
That freaking cardigan sweater
get-up he's wearing and his whole vibe
in that movie. If you guys haven't seen
Guy Ritchie's The Gentleman,
the show is great too that spun out from it.
Fantastic. It's in universe.
I think the
show is even better than the movie.
The movie is really good, but I think the show is even
better. I really like all of it.
I kind of agree. I love the movie. I think the show
benefits from being episodic and can
can draw itself out.
But also I like that it's not trying to tell the same story.
It's totally different characters, which I like that a lot too.
But yeah, yeah, if you haven't seen either of those things, do watch them.
They're very, very good, especially if you like the Guy Ritchie vibe stuff.
It's really good.
Oh, yeah.
And everybody, I mean, the movie's cast is incredible and everybody is knocking it out of the park.
Yeah, I love that.
All right.
Round five, Brian, you get to start our bidding here.
Okay.
And this is going to be a character.
from comic books
and I'm going to give you powers and abilities
shit of this character
I love this
oh my God this is great
um
so how many powers and abilities
is that the idea
yeah we're betting on how many powers and abilities
okay
I want to just take one on this
because
I mean knowing the theme
you know there's only like a handful
of people in that
rogues gallery so
I'm going to cross my fingers and hope
that I come up
with the right one. All right, one power
or ability.
All right, here is that one power or ability.
This character is a
master of martial arts and hand-to-hand
comic. Well, shit.
Could that possibly be Electra?
Incorrect.
Oh, no!
Could that possibly be Daredevil?
That is correct.
Oh, no way.
The theme is the Jiminy Christmas.
So the theme is Ben Affleck.
It has to be, right?
No, Ben Affleck was the first answer.
Yeah.
The theme is Daredevil.
The theme is Daredevil.
And the final answer is Daredevil.
Yep.
Because of Daredevil is like, oh, my God, it's going to be, it's going to be Electra, I'm totally going to guess Electra, Electra, Electra, Electra.
She fits, but you know what?
You're not wrong.
She absolutely fits.
And we'd already done a bit, we did Ben Affleck, the actor and director, so.
So why wouldn't you?
That worked out.
Nice job.
Good mop up.
Because of Daredevil Born Again, I thought this would be kind of fun.
It came to me as the comic book character was the one that set it off.
I'm like, ooh, that'd be a fun one to do, just listing off of, because you say martial arts master,
that could be dozens of different characters have that listed as one of their powers and abilities.
Same with, like, genius level intellect.
I was going to say a dozen in the, just in the, in the,
daredevil
Marvel
Knights universe
Oh yeah
who's the old guy
that fought blind
Stick
Yeah he could be it
Could have been him
Could have been
Some of those ninja dudes
I mean
Electra
Bullseye would fall
into that category
Sure
That ability
Sure
So yeah
So Scott wins
And you guys
Three nothing
Yeah baby
Commanding lead
I mean
That's the kind of finish
You want to
A game like this though
Whoever wins
It's just fun to
Yeah
Yeah
blow up like that
Anyway, sorry.
What were we going to say?
I had a tiebreaker.
It's just a one-answer thing.
So can either of you tell me the title of and the year of the first live action appearance of Daredevil?
It was the Incredible Hulk.
Oh, God, what was it?
It was a court thing.
What was the name of that?
Was it Thor meets the Incredible Hulk?
Because I want to say Thor was in it too.
And then they threw Matt Murdoch and Daredevil into it, 19-7, no, 1981.
Is that the one where, if I remember that one, it's a courtroom thing.
And David Banner loses it on the stand and becomes the Hulk in the courtroom.
Yeah.
Well, you've got the right, you're in the right track.
It's the trial of the Incredible Hulk.
The Trial of the Incredible Hulk.
Yeah.
Okay.
It is 1989.
Oh, really?
What?
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
Thor is in it.
And also Kingpin is in it.
Oh, really?
Yeah, played by John Rees Davies.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Daredevil was in it, played by Rex Smith.
It's, he's Matt Murdoch, and then there's like, I think, one scene where he's actually in costume, but it's just black ninja suit.
Like he doesn't have.
There's no horns or no red or anything like that.
Yeah.
They were afraid to have devil imagery back then, I think, a little bit.
Yeah.
Also, I believe that is the first Stan Lee cameo in a Marvel project.
He's a juror, right, or no?
He's a juror, yep.
I think he's the, I want to say he's the jury foreman.
Now, that's presented as, I know it was for TV, but it's presented as a single film, right?
It's like a two-hour thing.
Yes.
We should film sack.
It was made for TV movie.
We should film sack that shit.
We absolutely should film sack that.
Should, because it's bonkers.
Like, Thor being in it.
Is Thor like, if my memory was it, it was really.
lame Thor like cost Halloween costume Thor yeah like the guy wasn't even built he was just like a dude
a pre-vincent Donofrio Thor yeah yeah a guy well going for the deep cut yeah that's right exactly
my favorite my favorite first of a Thor appearance was uh vincent Donofrio wow so uh that's that was a
tight that was a tight one today tight tight tight tight tight tight it was as tucco would say that
It was very tight.
Well, that's all right, because coming up next time we have you on, another chance for me to lose horribly and Brian to win.
Sure, sure, exactly.
We have a lot of months.
Last year, you clobbered me, so, you know.
I think last year I just won by two.
Oh, is that all?
But, yeah.
It felt like a clobber to me last year.
It felt like you were really killing it every month.
And so this, you know, this might be my year.
Brian's in a rebuilding year.
It's okay.
I'm in the rebuilding year.
Exactly.
Exactly.
When the draft's coming up soon, I don't know.
This metaphor stops here.
Just making notes on what I need to make sure I bring for Taskville.
I know.
Every time I win one of these, I'm like, shit.
Yogurt soda.
Yeah.
Yogurt soda.
All right, good.
Hey, Hammond, bring more of that expired yogurt soda with you.
Oh, boy.
Well, it's always good to have you on, man.
Tell people about all your awesome shows and your other work so people can go find it and listen to what you got going.
Yeah, so I've got a new episode of weight you haven't seen out.
I watch Network for the first time ever.
this past weekend.
Were you mad as hell?
When you watched it?
Could you take it anymore?
So that, I was.
That was all I knew about that movie was that line.
Yes.
So it was not what I expected it to be.
I thought that was the culmination of the movie.
No, that's an hour in.
Oh, it's even that late.
I thought it was like of the first 20 minutes.
But it was an incredible movie.
So I got that.
You can find everything at TVsTravs.com.
We just wrapped up crossover month on those were the days.
That was a lot of fun.
Oh, cool.
We did a two-part, Magnum P.I.
Murder, She Wrote, Crossover to finish things off.
That was great.
Yeah.
Those shows are wonderful.
Those are great.
I'm going to have a new show, by the way.
I have a new show I'm going to be announcing in Las Vegas.
So if you are going to TMS Vegas and you're going to show up for podcast day,
you will be the first to hear about a brand new show.
It's the blue beard podcast with your favorite blueberry.
Just kidding. It was never blue. I just always thought it was.
I hope it does not hinder your ability to put these together because these are great.
Yeah, we love these.
No, I...
Apparently, I don't need to study Women's History Month. Thank you very much.
Oh, yeah, thank you for that. That's actually good.
Women directors all planned out, I had, you know...
Every answer...
Yeah, it's all Gerwig.
Catherine Bigelow. What else do you need?
Engley, yeah.
Well, I certainly...
Engle's a dude. I certainly didn't come up with this quiz last night.
So, you know.
Good to know.
Yeah.
Well, it's good having you on, man.
Take it easy.
Stay safe.
And may the wind be at your back.
Bye now.
Yeah.
Nice.
All righty.
Brian, it's time for us to get the F out of here.
Before we do, we got a phone call about the who let the dogs out song, a little correction.
Yeah, I'm hoping it's somebody taking me to task because I deserve it for getting that one.
Well, from trusting the source and getting it very, very wrong.
But, you know what?
There are so many better.
songs to get right you know what I mean like this song sucks there are far worse songs to get
rung than this one yeah but he's got some thoughts on what it means like what the song actually
means here you go it's Ross from New Zealand here just about the Baha men who let the dogs out
the song is actually calling out men who cat call women not cat calling women directly okay
that's all he said oh well that was the whole thing it's um totally is and and I heard
this on the Howard Stern
wrap-up show with John Hine and
Gary Delabate, why I trust anything
that Gary Delabate says is beyond
me, but
they were talking about that song and
I think one of them said
it's really not even like about dogs
it's about, you know,
calling out, or women,
the last women to leave a club
who let the dogs out. But no, I did a deep
dive on this thing after we talked about it.
And it's, A, it's a cover.
Baja men weren't even the original art.
What?
Yep.
Who's the original?
The original is an Anselm Douglas, and it's harder reggae, like more reggae than Calypso, and it's just called doggies, and it's still the same lyrics, but the lyrics talk about a guy calling a woman a derogator, a skella, a skella, something like that,
Skellah? Yeah. Anyway, and that's like a, like a, like a, basically, a name of a woman you wouldn't want to take home.
It's like a B, it's like a B word, but in a mean, like as mean as possible way. Right. Exactly. Exactly. It's like a slag. In, you know, in the UK calling a woman a slag. Yeah. But, yeah, no, it's, it's, it's actually calling out men who call, who call, who cat call women. It's actually a feminist.
uh anthem that song i did not know that that's crazy yeah and it's even a cover and the fact that
it's a cover of course it freaking is everything i think is you want to hear you want to hear like a
second few seconds yeah do you have like a link or something i can play here i have this song i'll put it in
uh in our discord all right let's give it a shot here like the first few seconds ought to be enough
all right let's give this a play here
Hey, ladies, take charge of this one.
Are you on things?
I can't believe in you in charge.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, it is.
And the skip to the dogs.
I can't believe that.
That is insane to me.
Yeah.
That that's a cover.
Why would you?
cover it. Why would anybody want to cover that
song? Right. Exactly. Exactly.
Yeah. It's like saying, oh, I don't know
what it's like. And Baja men weren't even
the first band to cover it.
There was
so there was a guy
I think he was, oh geez, he was
Jonathan King
and I'm trying to think of what
he did a version of
Huga Shaka, Huga Shaka, Hooked
on a feeling.
Oh, hooked on a feeling.
Oh, yeah.
Original version, guy with a couple initials, not C.W. McCall, but something like, anyway, he did the, BJ, B.J. Stevenson did the original version. And then Blue Swade had their version where they added the Uga Chaka, Uga Chaka. There was a version in between that by this guy named Jonathan King, who was a fairly, you know, popular at the time. And then, oh, poor Jonathan King got busted for horrible things he did to
teenagers.
Yes.
And skeevy, crappy, B.J. Thomas.
Was it B.J. Thomas.
Uga Chaka, Thomas.
The original Uga Chaka Thomas, yes.
You know why?
Jonathan King is the Skiy.
I'm just trying to remember who the original version of the, of Hooked on a Finland was.
Blue Swede did the cover.
Did I say Blue Swede? Blue Swede.
Oh, Blue Swede.
Okay.
So let me ask you this, though.
The version with Uga Chaka in it.
Yeah.
Why did this?
they do that? Because it's the
worst part of the song. The song's
okay. I hate it. Every time I hear it, I go,
why are you wrecking your song? It's like,
it's like having, I don't know, some perfect
song and then the middle going,
and then thinking that was a good idea.
Listen to the original when you get a chance,
the BJ, yes, BJ Thomas original.
And you'll find that it's kind of boring.
And
then listen to Blue Sweden and it'll be like,
you know what, I'm glad they added that.
But I think actually, I want to say Jonathan King may have added the Uga Chaka before Blue Swede,
the version that Jonathan, buggering Jonathan King did.
Well, screw that guy.
I don't like him.
Yes, exactly.
Give it to Blue Sweet from now on shall be known as the band that invented the Uga Chaka.
Well, thank you, Ross in New Zealand for the correction on the dogs thing.
And thank you, Brian's deep brain, for all cover knowledge.
because I have none.
Today, if you want to hear some real lack of knowledge, at 2 p.m.
We only have about a half an hour because Kim's meeting with my accountant right after that.
And then I have a meeting right after that.
So we have to split up.
I'm not splitting a traditional.
Oh, gosh.
That's why she's meeting with the accountant because you guys are splitting up.
Yeah, we're splitting up.
She's letting him, we're trying to get it all worked out.
Who had March 11th, 2025 in the pool?
Yeah, who had it in this pool that I didn't know about?
But anyway, skim today, 2 p.m.
We'll whip one out.
And the reason it's later than noon is because I'm in a playtest for Greg Street's ghost today.
We're not streaming it or anything.
I get to finally see it.
I'm so excited to get in there and see what they got going on.
What's your next word on the street?
It looks like it'll be early April.
They have GDC this month, so we're bumping it.
But that's why we're getting this playtest in.
So I can give it a shot before they all leave town.
and then next April we'll talk all about it.

Brian, let's play them out with a song.
Yeah.
One of the shortest,
requests I've ever gotten, but it is for a birthday.
Jeremy H. says, it's my 30th year around the globe.
Nice.
That's all he put.
Let's put this on.
Happy birthday, young man.
And his request was a cover of Three Doors Downs, Cryptonite.
Probably because we were talking so much, we can talk in so much about kryptonite lately.
Or we did recently talking about spin doctors and, yeah, and stuff.
Anyway, this is a band called Fame on Fire back in 2023.
They released this cover of it.
There's a lot of sound-alike covers.
Unfortunately, the, was it the Alman Brothers?
No, Leonard Skinner released a version that was similar to the original.
Even Leonard Skinner, the band, is similar to the original.
Yeah, true.
And I think it even features three doors down on that one.
But this one is very different.
So it's kind of a nice refreshing version if you're kind of meh, meh, on the
original. Here is Fame on Fire and Cryptonite.
Well, I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind.
I left my body light somewhere in the sense of time, but I watched the world flow to the
dark side of the moon
I fear there's nothing I can do
yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
I watched the world flow to the dark side of the moon
after all I knew it had
I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
as long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman
If I'm alive and well will you be there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman, my kryptonite.
You called me strong, you called me weak, but still your secrets I will keep.
You're tough for granted.
All the times I never let you down.
You stumbled in and bumped your head.
If not for me, then you'll be dead.

I picked you up and put you
back on solid ground
if I go crazy
then will you still call me
Superman
