I am Boba Fett. Hello, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, March 17th, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Hello. Hello again. Hello again. Hey, when were the IIDS? Was that the 15th? How's that work? Iads were the 15th, yeah. We had Pye Day, then we had the IIDS and now St. Patrick's Day. And I'm trying to figure out, like, Claire started spelling, because everybody does the whole TMS thing. Yeah, you know, T and M and S and the, but Claire started spelling Happy Saint, S-T, P-A, and then she went off the rails and went I, S-A, she's not off the wagon, is she? Yeah, and I've got live chat, so I've got, you know, I should be seeing everything. Yeah, I don't know what happened there, Claire. Let us know. How come you can't spell the rest of Patrick's Day? Oh, she says, YouTube cut her off is what she says. Oh, that's a likely excuse.

St. Pais. Yeah, St. Pais. It is St. Patrick's Day. Check it out. I wore green. I remember. Yep, you too. I wore my island shirt. I got a big state. Oh, yeah, look at you. That's even more, like, this is you can't get any more Irish than this shirt. I don't have any kind of pure Ireland kind of stuff. I got just green stuff. Well, you need to go there and buy a shirt. Yeah, if I went, you know what I'd do if I went to Ireland and I do want to go one day, I will get a shirt while I'm there. there you go there you go good plan yeah we'll go there and i will buy a shirt i will buy a shirt so no i guess i bought this in dublin the day before we went and saw claire so so where do where does one go to buy a shirt in ireland do you just go to we seriously just went to a um it wasn't

really like a touristy um you know here's here's a bunch of big plastic pots of gold and and plastic snakes that you can drive out and stuff like that. It was like a, because this isn't like a touristy Irish shirt. This is the team. Rugby, right, or no?

I think rugby team. It looks rugby-ish to me. Yeah, it does. Totally does. I could be wrong, but a little bit of a sponsor. I like it though. So, yeah, it was just a regular clothing shop. Kind of the equivalent of,

I don't know, what's a little bit better than it. T.J. Max or a Ross dress for less. It was just, you know, your basic shirt. You know what? I go places like that for shirts all the time. I would do that in Ireland as well, I'm sure.

You know, nothing too fancy. Brian's not a whatever their Macy's equivalent is. He's not like going crazy. Just getting a normal shirt. Exactly. Yep. We, and we did have to go into some, well, we had to go into one touristy store because Tina needed her family comes from Ireland. And we found the

McCoy coat of arms. She's a McCoy. everybody the coat of arms has a bunch of um oh it's the thing i drew for her tattoo it's the bird that doesn't have legs because it's always flying it's always on the on the wing oh it's um legendary like a mythological bird um yeah it doesn't actually exist right it's like a right oh you've told me this before i know i forgot the name i see if i can beat the um if she's in mccoy Does she ever see a hat field and go, er, get all like, you know. She doesn't, but her dad worked at

Martlett is the thing. Oh, that's the bird. M-A-R-T-L-U-T. That's the bird. She, her dad worked when he was working at some company, there was a Hatfield that seriously

still held some sort of grudge and like, like, you know, you kind of did that. Like, wouldn't sit with them, wouldn't hang out with them, nothing. Damn, dude. That blood goes deep. know that was a thing. It does. And Jim

couldn't care less. He's like, okay, whatever. Yeah. You have your little grudge, but I don't care. Feuds are weird. They are weird. We'll start with a pig or somebody getting pregnant or something. Something like that. Well, the one according to the mini series, which was supposed to be

pretty autobiographical, it had that Romeo Juliet thing in it, but it wasn't the only thing. Like there were already lots of pressures and problems and issues. And then the fact that these two got together really set off the powder keg and if you haven't seen it it's great it's good yeah yeah people out there should watch that it's i mean i think it's like long but it's very good it's great the late bill paxton

no who didn't have yeah it was bill paxton was the hatfields or no the other way around he was a mccoy was a mccoy and uh kevin costner was the hatfield and uh then there been one of the last things he did right it was close to it yeah well trying to think when did i always feel like the last thing he did was edge of tomorrow but i could be wrong about that um Oh, it could have been. Gosh, dang it, he was good in Edge of Tomorrow. That could have been the biggest cartoon role for anybody else. Could have been just like,

Yehah, this is dumb, and he owned it. He was so good. I miss Bill Paxton just about every other day. I'll tell you that. I miss that guy. Oh, he was in the circle, that thing with Emma Watson and Tom Hanks that I never watched that sat in my Netflix queue forever,

and I never watched it. That was three years after Edge of Tomorrow. Wow. I wonder if that'd be worth sacking one day, because I haven't seen it. Oh, I bet it would be, yeah. It's the only way I want to see it, I think. I got pan pretty hard, if I remember, right? It was not a...

It did. Wow, Halfields and McCoys, 2012. I would have thought that came out way later. He was on Agents of Shield. Oh, shit. For part of a season after that. All right, older than I thought. Way older than I thought.

Yeah, holds up, though. One of the first things you can find him in is the music video for the song Fishheads by Barnes and Barnes. Oh, man. Fish heads, fish head, really? That's crazy. Yep. Yeah. They had a video. I didn't know that. Oh, yeah, I remember it. It was just shots of like dead fish and it was cut like with each, each verse.

Oh. It seems like I saw it on. Wait, they were cutting fish heads with the fish heads. They were cutting fish heads too. But the video cuts were happening. Oh, oh. Yeah, but they did cut a fish head in the, yeah, okay, Fastidious, you saw it on SNL too. I can't explain why, because it doesn't make sense that we would see it on there unless it was a Schiller thing. Yeah, Tom Schiller.

Must have been like, what years would that have been? That would have been like 70 or maybe early 80s, but I think like 78, 79. Yeah. Really? 80, maybe 81, 82. Maybe. There must have been a time. if you think about it this way you know you just hitting 50 years on SNL and it's such a monumental

you know number and everything but it's also kind of funny how in peril that series was just 10 years into it and it didn't look like you were going to get SNL for 50 years it looked like we were kind of like I mean you know as the peter and out as the the recommendal from Nicole states it was really just a thing to to hopefully get Johnny Carson reruns on such an odd story that whole thing

well all right then oh it was 1980 and Paxton directed it what? Oh yeah well he was also a member of the band Martini Ranch

that had it wasn't I want to be a cowboy what was it? Oh reach it was reach wait I'm a couple bars of reach

or is that the band the band is martini ranch and the song is reach and reach goes reach that's what he said then he turned and shot me dead reach it's like an old western western song i don't know i don't think i know it i've got it let's see if i've got it here in my library i can send it to you really quick yeah i don't think i have heard that before um not ringing a bell yeah although tequila ranch sounds like something i would ask for at the rest of put that on my wedge salad I also had a great song called Hot Dog which is just like again a similar very similar thing that

okay there's reach came on he was God one day he fought himself with guns and now I'm gonna make him hey hey and you come right over the chorus

oh did I I heard him saying there he's while we're rolling away. There's him. There it is. So that's got Paxton doing something? That's Paxton singing. Yeah. That's him singing?

That's him singing the Reach part, I think. And then there's another Todd Rosenthal. Thank you, Dr. Calhoun. I think is the other. the other vocalist in there. And is it like, here's a list of all the instruments they used in the 80s. Cool. We're going to put all of them in this song.

Every single one. Every single one. Don't leave any out. What's Billy Ocean doing? He's keeping a couple of those to himself. Go get those from him as well. Right. Go borrow that one from Get Out of My Dreams.

Get into my car. That's amazing, dude. I had no idea he was in a band at all. This is a big learning moment for me. I didn't know any of this. Well, anyway, Bill Paxson, rest his soul. Let's move on with what we got today. I'm going to start today with a text we got from Tandy 255.

It sounds like just a great computer, you know, to get started with. The old Tandy 255. Anyway, he says this, dear stethoscope and bedpan. Sorry, Brian. I mean, the B. No kidding. I really got the short end of that stick. The B is for bummer today.

Thanks for being great examples to the community. keeping up with your colonoscopies. I know that, or sorry, I know that you know the difference, but sometimes you brush over it lightly. The finger up the bum is for checking your prostate and is different than a colonoscopy. Both are great and important to get checked. Moon River, love the show, though, Tandy 255.

Oh, we get that reference. Yep, we totally do. I'm going to see that difference today, as a matter of fact. Oh, all right. You had one last week. I'm having the other one this week. Yep, and you don't really have much prep to worry about other than, you know, there's a little bit of the old

make sure you've emptied the tank before you head in there. Yeah, exactly. You know what I'm saying? I know. Is it weird that I want to take a shower before I go have my physical done? Even though I took a shower this morning, it's like... I get it. Yeah, that was like six hours ago. I'm taking another shower. Yeah, I totally

get it, dude. I have that feeling every time I go to the doctor. I just want to be like the cleanest person they've ever had to talk to. Even if we're just in the room and no one does anything and it's just talking. I want to be so squeaky. Exactly. key but anyway they uh yeah he's got a good point there though so when we bring this stuff up sometimes we laugh about it and we're ha ha ha this is the age you're i got to do stuff but it's

important so go get your scheduled everybody out there and uh talk to your doctor and just you know do your checkups a lot of preventative care goes a long way these days so get in there get that done i'm with tandy 255 please do do it do it don't uh don't don't uh we disagree with the ram in that computer. Tandy 2-55 says get it done. No, the Tandy knows the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Okay, we got this call. It's a guy we know.

You may know him as Barry. Although Barry seemed to accidentally hang up on himself halfway through his call. I think he called from his Vision Pro, I think is the problem. Yeah, I don't know what happened here, but whatever happened, and this is what he had to say. He actually had a question. I think he had an answer.

Well, I know he did, because he said something to us in private later, but he had a question that I thought would be just good for us to answer for everybody who was curious. So here it is. Hey, Scott and Brian. It's Barry. Barry was listening to the Patreon Friday show at patreon.com slash TMS. And you mentioned a game that was like Bellotro, but was like Blackjack.

Okay. And then he cut off. I don't know what happened there. That was the fullness of the call. He must have hit the button or something. But what he was talking about is a game like Blackjack. The game is called Dungeons. I'm sorry, and degenerate gamblers, right?

Degenerate gamblers, yes. Dungeons and degenerate gamblers on Steam. It is currently available for PC, Mac, and Linux, and of course, plays great on Steam Deck. Yeah, and it is, I don't think, a few people said, hey, did you say the name? I thought I did on the episode. Yeah, I thought we did too, yeah. But I didn't say it, like, again at the end, which is always the thing you should do. So we'll say it one more time. It is Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers, and it's very fun.

a ton of that this weekend um rad game and if that sounds interesting to people at all and it's not i played enough it now i can i can honestly tell you that if you're worried that you've had too much baltro and you're like i can't do more of that it's not the same it's very very different partly because the base game is totally different it's not poker it's freaking blackjack and blackjack just opens up a whole canoply of different mechanics and uh it's very very good So play that game. It's on sale right now. And still on discount until the 20th.

So you've got until Thursday to buy this at a discount. That's right. Oh, my gosh. The 20th is Thursday? Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. What? Is we going to get March at all?

Like, what is that? What are we doing? This is lame. I don't like it. I know. We haven't even had any snow. We have not had any snow since I got the snowblower. Since I did the like the scheduled moon landing where I had to perfectly time

rockets to go off in space to get a snowblower here at the beginning of the year. We have not had a snowstorm since. That's a bummer you want to try that thing out. 74 degrees is what it's going to be here today. It's going to be gorgeous. This is too much shirt for later. Yeah, you're going to be hot later. Yeah.

Plus I got to put on an easier to remove shirt and lift up for drawing blood and stuff anyway for the physical. So putting on a T-shirt when we're done with the shirt. We're doing a whole panel, are we? doing the blood and everything all that stuff i assume so i just want to be ready if they do i figure they're gonna you know it's been a couple years since my last physical yeah yeah they'll probably take blood forgive me forgive me doctor for i've sinned i love you're in a little booth that'd be great i would love doctor's office uh well thank you barry and uh sorry about the end of the end of your call but i think he figured it out he's been playing it you really liked it it's my understanding

oh yes he's already picked it up good yeah i believe so uh also a quick ticket reminder uh frogpants or if you'd rather, or sorry, frogpants.shop is where you can go. Or you can go right to TMS.orgas. Either way, you need to get your TMS Vegas tickets because they need to be gone. We need to sell them. They need to go. So get in there and get them. All right. There's still some available. And if you're coming to Vegas at the end of the month, all the details are up at TMS.Vegas. We want to see you. So come be seen by us and others. Please do. Go make sure you update the spreadsheet where you can sign up for everything. And if you don't know about the spreadsheet, you can get to it by really almost any of the buttons,

except for the video game tournament. Go sign up for that as well. But the other two buttons will take you to that spreadsheet where you can sign up for all the other non-official events. And that reminds me, it's time for me to give the Swinger's minigolf do a call again today and say, hey, what's up? What's going on with those times, the time slots? Yeah, Mr. Swinger, man. Exactly.

Put your key out of the bowl. I got to hang out with my buddy Josh and his awesome wife over the weekend. He's coming to the event. So that's cool. He's listener of the show. And we went to dinner and to a car show. And I got to just recommend real quick. So this wasn't like a car show like the Detroit one where it's like all new concept vehicles from all the big major manufacturers.

This is like a classic car show. Check out our car that's really a drone draped with a car shaped piece of fabric. Exactly. It's like what's that giant egg? No, that's a new van. or, you know, whatever. And it runs on breath or whatever they do now. So we're, so we said, I do want that new Volkswagen buzz.

Oh, it's awesome. Awesome. Freaking love it, dude. I so want one of those. Yeah, I want one too. But this event had multiple old VW buses and ancient bugs. And they had, um, some classic, like classic car shows. Yep, they had the first Corvette off the production line ever made.

They had that there. and then they had all these like restored you know mustangs from 68 Mustang and 70 whatever the the hot years were and everything in between you can think of the car that they had in men in black was my favorite car there it wasn't that car but it was that model right right beautiful freaking car gosh dang it dude it is such a pretty car all that interior silver and the engines all chromed out and the just jet black outside shiny black is freaking beautiful beautiful. Anyway, it was really fun. And I just, I guess I'm just here to say, if you have a car show like that come around and you're not even into cars, do it anyway. There's something about it. There's something in a car show that just gets into your blood. And I loved it. It was a great time. It's gone now. It was here all weekend. Now they're done. And now it's some gun show this week. So I don't, I don't care about that stuff. But the gun show. Yeah, man. The, uh, the, the, the, the, whatever Denver Comic Con changed their name to fan. Expo, also has a really good car section. So they'll actually have a portion of the event center

specifically for pop culture vehicle replicas. So of course, an Ecto 1 and Jurassic Park Jeep and stuff like that. But they usually have quite a few, like a Batmobile or two, different era batmobiles and stuff like that. This one had a weird volume of, I wasn't expecting this, but like a ton of what do you call them um shit what are those called my brain just went dead on what i was trying to say what was i trying to say they had a bunch of oh el camino's tons of el caminos really yeah i couldn't really explain to you why there were so many el caminos although i got to show you this one i've been a specialty thing for the for that show right like it's a hey it's a classic car show also were highlighting

the El Camino so if you've got one that's been done up bring it yeah possibly just so many and there's some of them were just kind of plain like they were nicely restored but they weren't anything special but then there's this one look at this shit this is I mean this is just they went

too hard if you ask me they bolded out these windows so like even the windshields are replaced with the bulgy things it's a it's a skull it's like a skeleton dude who's turning into a checkered flag who's doing the gear shift

down there and then I can't even tell what's going on at the end of him like I don't mean I'm going to turn into purple flames just because it's weird it's like a very and look at the I don't know if you notice this but the engine the way it's it's like poked out of broken

metal like oh it's broken like it popped itself out of the hood yeah and then these like 1960s like futuristic bulge things yeah and then a big old bed cover It looked like spatulas on the car seats, like the pattern. It's just the angle. It's the two holes, the air holes.

Yeah. They're going to a barbecue party and get a few of those in there. But anyway, there was a lot of stuff like this, a lot of weird decked-out business. And then they had, as you can see, there's an old model tee back there. Bikes. Oh, yeah, they had a whole Schwinn. Look at this whole Schwinn area of old bikes. Oh, it was crazy.

The O'Reilly guys were giving out sunglasses, which I thought was a little weird. That's interesting. And then my favorite car is this one where I thought it was going to be, I thought Snoop was going to get out of it. Like, look at that thing. No, kidding. Pimpmobile, baby. That's a low rider where the rider is lower. Like the actual rider is lower than the wheels.

It has to scoop out earth in front of it to be able to drive that low. Yep. Yep. And everything you see about that paint is exactly what you think. It's iridescent. Inside this crazy combo of leather and carpet on the doors. a big old, you know, furry, what do you call it, dashboard. Sure.

So low, there's no way you're clearing most speed bumps. You're just going to die. You know, like a speed bump or even a, some of these McDonald's cup on the ground, you might get high-centered. Even the engines painted to look all weird. It's an interesting paint job. It's like the, it's like what our 70s bicycles had. Yeah.

That mix of stripes and the candy apple. paint job and that sort of thing it was definitely like that and I walked around the rest of the show going beep beep beep beep beep beep beep sure I couldn't I couldn't help it just got in me to little trip with me low I was doing the low right Kim's like you're too loud you quit doing that here it's too loud and I'm like honey it's a crowd there's lots of noise here it's fine I can do it well what you know somebody say hey that song you can't talk about that song you Yeah, exactly. Plus, I had a bunch of, I had a, we had food. Like I said, we went to dinner before, and I had a bunch of wings and stuff, or not wings, sorry, we had nachos. And, you know, I may have cropped us at a couple of cars while I was there, just, you know, walking by. It's not, not a problem. Left your own shimmer on the automobile, you said. Left my own DNA in the room, if you, if you get my drift.

Nice. Did you do this weekend? Anything fun? Do you get up to? So we had a, my nieces were in town. Well, my niece and her two daughters were in town. They're the greatest. Man, just love, just love those girls. The, um, went out and had burgers with them for lunch on Friday. And then that night went back out for pizza because we had to have pie.

So pizza was the appropriate thing. Went to a place called a garlic knot. Oh, man, good pizza. Oh, really? I love a garlic knot, but you're telling me it's their pizza, you should go for. And they have excellent garlic nuts, too. Like, we tore through two baskets of those pre-pisa. That sounds great.

And did that. And then saw our other niece, Rainey, on Saturday night for dinner. So we got to see just about all of Georgia's kids. And technically, they're all cousins. but they they call us Uncle Brian and Aunt Tina and so we just That's great why not I'd take that exactly I don't have any I guess I do because of Tina's brother heaven kids so I guess I'm a real uncle to those kids but um they live kind of far right the girls they do they live in Kansas City and and uh Carolyn and her two daughters

live in Houston so we don't get to um we don't get to see them nearly as often as I'd like good kids that's great always fun to hang out with family i got i got a lot of that going on with my mom in her uh situation so it's similar stuff yeah though we took van we took van yesterday not yet we got so wendy'll be here i guess it's as soon as is is it next week or the yeah the week i guess this we maybe this is the weekend she'll be here where we could have her live in studio for uh play date yeah i think that's it i think that's right um my but my cousin was here from Denver Caroline was here

who else a few others but we went there yesterday we asked her to visit you but when will you visit her well she came I guess she has this group of childhood friends she comes here once a year and they all do fun stuff so she timed it to visit my mom so she's here every year and I didn't know that she never says anything oh yeah never never never knew about it until this year

so it's kind of weird but we were there yesterday it's funny we go in there and this place has a little bit of a smell. It's not like horrible, but it smells like a place where maybe a ton of old people are getting physical therapy done. Just kind of a... I don't know.

I don't know what to call this smell, but there's a smell. And Van, we took Van, and Van's in there. He's six, and he says what's on his mind. And he walks through there

and he's holding my hand. He looks up and he goes, pops. I go, yeah, bud, what's up? And he goes, smells like Phoebe's diaper in here. Oh, no. And I go, yeah,

maybe a little, a little bit. Yeah. I mean, you know, you're a little kid. You just say what you say. You say what you think, yep. I had no problem to that, Dan. Don't ever lose it. Yeah, I laughed pretty hard.

That was great. They have, uh, anyway, we hung out there and he, he did good. Oh, he did say this thing to me because he's really excited for today. In fact, he's upstairs. Right now, they made, uh, they made green eggs for, uh, oh, funny. Yeah, all that. I'm not eating that yet. Green eggs and bacon.

And, uh, it's closest to ham as we got, I guess. and so he's really into the holiday and everything and yesterday he says again sitting sitting with me at lunch and he goes pops I go yeah and he goes he goes um there's only one st patrick's day I go that's right there's true it's only one and he goes do you know why and I said why he goes because lepracons are messy and I went I don't know where he got that lepracons I don't either it's like that's the only thing holding us back from having multiple st. Patrick's days per year is that we don't want to clean up after the leprechauns? Yeah, I don't know

what I said to this minute, I don't know, I asked him, I said, where'd you get that from? He goes, it's just true or something or, you know, leprechauns are messy, they make messes. And that's, and that's all he would say it. I was like, I guess, you know, I could see it. I could see it. Is he seen the movie with

Work Davis? Oh my God, what is he? I don't know where he's getting it from, honestly. What's a leprechaun movie where, that isn't leprechaun the movies that we're thinking of? Like, is there a cartoon with a bunch of dirty, messy leprechauns that I don't know about? I couldn't figure it out. It might be.

Yeah, that's really funny. It was a hoot. Anyway, we had a good time. And so, quick update on my mom. She was doing pretty great yesterday. So we're very happy. John only made three or four dumb comments. And it was fine.

All right. Should we play a game? Shall we play a game? Yeah. All right. Then I'm going to. Mondays or four. It's our way to ease into this horrible back-to-work day

every week. That's right. No sleep. Tell Brooklyn, everybody. Let's get him in here. Where is Dunaway? There he is. Hey, look who it is. It's Brian Dunaway, who joins us on Mondays for the morning half-asses. Good morning, Brian. No, I've gotten, Brian. Happy Monday in St. Patrick's Day to a lesser extent. You guys should have heard me in Dunaway's chat about the three-shell method when you take a poop in uh what's the movie that would be the demolition man yeah yeah we had a whole philosophical no one will ever see it but us

but a big long philosophical discussion about the three shells and how they might work so yeah I'm pretty sure we figured it out yeah yeah in a world where Taco Bell is the only restaurant I feel like you need six or seven shells minimum that's what I'm saying funny enough I went there yesterday and my comment this morning

was uh I hadn't experienced this morning that needed way more than three shells. I needed all the shells, please. All the shells, maybe. Hey, can you bring me some extra shells from the cabinet? And big ones, the big ones, please. Yeah, the big clams. Hey, Brian, it's good to have you here.

We're going to play this game, and it's going to be great. That I can promise you. But Brian Abbott here will have to explain the rules and who we're playing for. Yeah. Welcome in the morning, half-asses, a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category. and six possible answers. Three of those are correct,

and three that, like the cleanliness of leprechauns, are incorrect. Depending on how confident they feel with the category, they can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if any of those guesses are wrong, they get zero points for that round. Now, write all this down, because I'm not going to answer questions afterwards.

Get one right, you get a point. Okay, go so far so good. Got it. Two right gets you three points. Three right gets you five points. Wait, one right gets me. I knew you should have written this down. And we'll add up all the points after three rounds, see who wins the prize for their contestant.

I said contestant, yes, we have two of them. They're members of the tadpillar, and maybe you'll be here live. Scott, you're playing for Tristan Adams in Colorado. I don't think he's in Aurora anymore when he submitted this. He's in Colorado Springs or Pueblo or something. He's further away. We'd love that guy. He's great.

We do. Has one of the best manicured beard mustache combos ever. Oh, it's embarrassing for the rest of us with facial hair. It is. Exactly. It's like every hair, no hair's out of place. Brian, you're going to be playing for Bombie. Yeah. Oh, wow.

In the Germany. So look at that. Oh, now I feel pressure. Yeah. He's my favorite German resident. I love that guy. Sorry, all the other Germans. Sorry, other Zij Germans.

Yeah, I like him. All right. So let's get to the game. Let's start off with something that I had to pick. Because it's the same. 17th, that's St. Patrick's Day. So, which of these six items are shades of green? Your choices are, magnolia, tarragon, perinone, ten, tenna, tenn, uh, cilidon, and malachite. I think ten.

Which three of those are actually, could be tennie. These are green, not, not green, but are green. Right. You're going to select the ones that are shades of green. And what happens if we get it wrong, get a pinch me? Yep. I told you before and you didn't write it down. It was your choice. Yeah.

You pinch your testicle. Your left one. Pinch. Pinch your testicles. All right. Well, I have locked in because I am only confident in what I have chosen. I'll say that. Boy, Brian, you went all over the place with your guesses.

And then you settled back down. You guys both chose Terragon. Of course, Tarragon. It's a spice and that spice is green. So, of course, it would be a shrew. new caragon. That's right. Brian, you briefly chose Paranun. Yeah, yeah. Which is a shade of red. Oh, good. But you unsleisted that one. You also briefly chose Magnolia, which is a shade of cream color. It's a flower. Off white. Yeah. Scott, you chose

Malachite. Yeah. Malichite is a shade of green. Yeah. Good job. Yeah. Do you know why? Do you know why I knew that. It's a little embarrassing, but I knew what Malachite is, because you pick it up a lot in World of Warcraft by accident. It's just like, it's a junk drop, especially in earlier like expansions, and you just sell it for trash, but they were always green,

and it immediately kicked in that those were green, so that's why. Interesting. I wouldn't know any other, there's no other way I would know that, except for that. Yeah. Oh, right. Thank you, Jeannie Soros. Yeah, Terragon is an herb. That's true. by the way Celadon was the other correct answer

that's kind of like a light jade that they use for pottery. Oh, that's nice. The dinosaur. Yeah. They all sound like, they all sound like kaiju enemies for Godzilla Yeah, yeah. They totally do. Seledon and Malachite. Yeah. Tena, by the way,

T-E, I'm not sure about the pronunciation, is TAN. So, as it kind of almost sounds like. So there you go. Oh, okay. All six were colors, just only three of them were green. Let's get two. Question number two, Scott, going into this with three points.

Brian with one, how we do with number two. The ten most popular U.S. girls' name of the 1890s. 1890s. Which three of these were in the top ten most popular U.S. girls' names 130 years ago. Your choices are. Anna, Helen, Emily, Virginia, Abigail, and Margaret. Oddly, I just watched the West Wing yesterday,

and they were talking about a book, talking about 100 years prior, and they were talking about some of these names, and I don't see, but one of them they mention. I heard those Jack and Apes at Max are going to pull that series, and I'm pissed out. Well, I got a bunch of jerks. Yeah, I'm mad at them, dude.

All right. All right, you guys are both locked in, You guys, between the two of you, locked in on Emily, Virginia, and Abigail. All three of those aren't wrong. The correctances were the three you completely avoided Anna, Helen, and Margaret. Well, you know what? Can't be trusted. All the Westerns I've seen, because that's where I thought of all those names.

Yeah. Lots of Abigail's, lots of Emily. You tell out of me, Emily, I'll be back to the ranch after I go into town. I've heard these names and turns out they were all bullshit. It was Anna Helen and Margaret the whole time. Anna, Helen Margaret. Anna number two in the top ten list, Helen number four, and Margaret number three. I don't know what number one was.

I'd be interested to find out. But Abigail, the 893th most popular name in the 1890s. Jeez. Virginia 87 and Emily 94th most popular. I'm shocked how low on the... How low that is. V-2. All right.

We've been, you know what? Actual history differs from movie history. That's all I say. It does. All right. Well, we go into our last question again, Scott with three. Brian with one. Sorry,

some Dungeons and Dragons. Oh, yeah. You guys have no problem with this. Oh, yeah, give me some easy. Oh, what is this? Which three of these are from the first edition advanced Dungeons and Dragons modules, or which of these are first edition, advanced D&D modules? Your choices are, queen of the demon web pits, the bandit of hell's bend, slave pits of the undercity,

glacial rift of the frost giant yarl, savage pellucidar, and out of time's abyss. Man, I had a bad case of Savage Pelucidar about a month ago. A little penicillin, it was fine. I got to get a shot to clear that one up. Yeah, it was no problem. A couple of days is all. Wow. Yeah.

this is not easy it was not because they all sound valid yeah I'm locking in with one because I don't want to press my luck I gotta go all three don't I dang it yes you do

I feel kind of good about two of them I'm not sure about the last one oh I like you know what if you do this you will be my hero if you pull this off oh man I will I'll sing your praises I'll talk about

you to my grandchildren's children. Fine. I'll just go for it. All right. No way I can win, right? Or tie? No, you can totally win because three gets you five points. I just just went for a tie then. Dern. I wasn't sure about that last one. All right. All right. All right. Well,

Dern. Here's the other here's the thing. The other three are Edgar Rice Burroughs novels. And someone had pointed out, yeah, Pallucidar as an Edgar Rice Burroughs thing. That is correct. Savage Palucidar is an Edgar Rice Burroughs book. So, Scott, you lucked in on that one. That's wrong. But let's see how

Brian did. Shit. Brian selected, Queen of the Demon Web Pits. Yeah. That is correct. Shit. Brian selected, slave pits of the undercity. Yeah. That is correct.

Oh, man. Brian also chose the Bandit of Hell's Bend. Yeah. That's also an Edgar Rice, Burroughs. Oh. racial rift of the frost giant Yarl. Sean Bloom got all three of those in the chat. Nice, Sean. Dang.

Get all three of them. I'm surprised these Edgar Rice Burroughs novels match up so well. They're perfect pairing. They really are. Absolutely perfect. Yeah. I wouldn't have thought of that. That's nuts. Congratulations, Scott. And congratulations going to Tristan Adams, who's going to get our games. He's going to get two of them anyway.

Tristan, you're getting a copy of of i am bread played it great game ridiculous over the top silly but awesome yeah it's very good and hellslave also very good first person boomer shooter it's very good it really feels like two opposite ends of the game spectrum oh they totally are they absolutely they are very different hell slaves like a like a first person boomer shooter that's like all bloody and ridiculous and over the top and bread i am bread is literally you controlling a piece of bread to escape a kitchen that's it nice yeah oh that's great yeah it's really hard though uh bumby you're you're not going away empty-handed you are getting a copy of blade of darkness or i might give you we have a few

games they're a european only and so i might give you because it's always great to get rid of a european only uh game yeah i mean give away not get rid of yeah yeah i mean sorry i mean give away we mean we mean excise like a tumor is what we're trying to say Exactly right. No, that's awesome. Congratulations to both of you. I think you both did good today. And Bombie sent me a message that made me very happy today because I've been trying to find, well, you know how, did we talk about it on film sack?

It might have been. But I think we talked about it there, the, the in search of thing with Spock and all that. Oh, yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, let's just say Bombie may have found me a complex way of watching that. Thank you, Bami. Because it's not streaming anywhere, nowhere. No, and the ones I've seen online have been trash. Yeah, they're bad.

You can find some on YouTube and stuff, like the classic Bigfoot, which gave me nightmares as a kid. Oh, my God, that was so terrifying. Oh, yeah. I remember that thing. That thing scared me too, but it turns out. Bullshit. All right, well, well done.

Everybody involved. Brian Dunaway, especially you, because that means you're set up perfectly to come back Wednesday with a major comeback and win that game. Well, did you get my Discord message? Oh, let me check. Oh, do you have a meeting or something? Yeah, it's like your birthday. Yes, my birthday, I was just planning on hanging around the house,

and then Audra let me know earlier that she's off that day, and so she's making plans, Scorby. Oh, that's nice. No, that's, I'm not right. Do you have that for your birthday? You don't want to come here and get beat again. I get it. I totally get it.

No, I'm torn. No, I know, I got a torn. I'm a little torn. All right, well, let's not say that then. and let's say instead that this weekend we're doing play retro and Brian remind folks what game they should be brushing up on. Oh, we're going to be playing a rampage. Not Redneck Rampage. No, we're playing a Rampage from the arcade. Remember those three monsters, three-player game at the arcade?

Yeah. A nondescript sea monster and giant ape. You know what? Brian fixed my brain. I thought it was a lizard. It was a wolf man. You're right. It was a giant wolf.

For whatever reason, I keep thinking it's a lizard. guy like a like a godzilla kind of thing yeah but you're right it's a fucking wolf i don't know why he did that it's a giant wolf man for some reason no no movie ever had a giant wolf man but we should have timed film sack to watch rampage right around the same time but we didn't think that movie yeah it's too late still haven't seen just saying no we got to do that we got to do our dumb craven deal yeah graven baby my wife last night goes we should watch that see if it's any good and i said you have no idea what i'm doing this week do you i have to watch this yeah She goes, ooh, I'll watch you with you.

You also don't need to see if it's any good, Kim. Yeah, you really don't. Although she's been watching the new Roswell. So there's a, the Roswell that like, what's his name from BSG wrote? And it was pretty good. It was like early 2000s, a WB thing. And it was all about aliens and Roswell and stuff. And that was good.

That was like a good classic series. Ron Moore. Ronald Moore wrote it. It was quite good. This new one, WB. garbage terrible bad oh sign me up but she loves that stuff so she's watching that right now and she says do you think Craven might be like that I'm like yeah I do actually I think it'll be bad yeah yeah just like that I think it'll be bad like that uh yeah the original Roswell

is awesome Roswell New Mexico the reboot the one that just barely ended I mean whatever teach their own go enjoy your thing that you like oh I watched I accidentally watched um the Friday the 13th series uh yesterday because I was like Oh, Friday the 13th click, and I said, oh, I forgot there was a series that had nothing to do with Jason. It was kind of like a warehouse 13 kind of thing almost where they had inherited an antique shop and had a bunch of cursed and wicked stuff. Was it like an anthology, like a different story every week? Yeah, yeah, yeah, every week, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I kind of remember.

I think it was like on HBO or Showtime or something because I, I was watching it, and somebody was getting choked out with some barbed wire, and they had all blurred. I'm like, come on. Yeah, what are you doing? Don't blur that. Show me the blood. Show me the gore. So hold on a second, though.

Aren't they doing it? Oh, no, I'm thinking it's maybe they were and it got canceled. There was talk of a new series that was Jason-based, and they were going to make a whole series. And they had somebody big in charge of it, and it was going to be a big deal, and then maybe you got canceled. I have to look that up. But there was something going on with that. Anyway, Dunaway, this has been a real treat. It's like a big sucker in your mouth, you know, that we're doing right here.

Gross. And the other thing I was going to say to you was this thing, which I'm going to say right now, which is kiss our butts, all right? All right. There he goes. I really wanted to win today, Brian. You did. You certainly did. Both things.

Yeah. The kiss our butts and the game. Indeed. Okay, everybody. We're going to do a quick news story before our break today. And it goes a little something like this. it's time for the news brought to you by picking the creamsicle controller check this out so reviewing this new uh it's by the eight bit do people so it's orange there but then it's got

this kind of like it's hard to see here it's a little cream creamish yeah like not quite white like a like a cream white yeah and it's officially licensed by microsoft but it's eight bit do is the maker um oh really okay because i noticed it has actually the xbox logo on the center yeah they got I think that's what they pay for, because otherwise it pays it basically is like one of their controllers. But I really recommend this. It has those new Hall Effect sticks that will never get drift. They use that new magnet thing that apparently everybody's using. I don't know if the Switch 2 is going to use that or not.

They better because the Switch one was a drifting mess. The worst. The worst. So let's hope so. Really cool stuff, though. Anyway, let's move on. It's not really brought to you by them, though. I just got this for me.

Okay. No, no actual ad. Right to you by Scott, who bought a controller. That's really cool. Yeah. And I don't blame him. And they're on sale right now for like 30 bucks. So a big recommendation.

If you like a good wired, I'm a wired controller guy. Yeah, I am too. Yeah. Because I just like no latency and just, yeah, you know. Exactly. And this one does disconnect. It does disconnect. So it's nice in that way, but it's not charging when it's connected.

It's just a, you know, it's just kind of got a USB connection. Oh, okay. Good, good controller, though. I really like it. Even for my man, my large man. hands it's good main hands all right uh let's get into one story uh scientists aiming to bring back woolly mammoth brought back woolly mice instead well not instead what a what a terrible misunderstanding with size uh drawn on a napkin they uh misread the the the foot to the inch marks

apparently yeah you know doctors they now they get really crazy about putting blue ink all over the they're supposed to amputate. Yes. Yeah. And then they ask you 50 times. It's your right leg, right? Like they keep doing it until they're perfectly ready. It's like that.

It feels like, oh, you said elephants? Shit. Well. Oh, we heard mice. Oh, that's a shame. Well, anyway, there's this plan to revive the mammoth. It's on track, they say, because they created a new species, the woolly moose, mouse rather.

Sorry, no moose. Oh, that's a great idea. I take a woolly moose. But then people ride in and say they're really woolly elk and they live. They're just misnamed elk. See, scientists at the U.S. biotechnology company Colossus biosciences plan to de-extinct the prehistoric pack of urms by genetically modifying Asian elephants to give them woolly mammoth traits. They hope the first calf will be born by the end of 2028. Oh, there's a lot of stuff to come in at the end of 2028.

I'm very excited about. One thing in particular. Really? Oh, what's that? The end of a certain presidential term. Oh, yes, yes. Absolutely. That is, yeah, we all should have a clock on our wall. If we make it to 2028, then that is something to look forward to. Yeah, there you go. Always have something to look forward to. I like that. Ben Lamb, co-founder and chief executive of colossal, said the team has been studying ancient mammoth genomes and comparing them with those of ancient, excuse me, Asian elephants to understand how they differ and have already become geome editing cells of the latter, trying to get them closer.

Now, the team say they have fresh support for their approach after creating healthy, genetically modified mice that have traits geared toward cold tolerance, including woolly hair. Quote, it does not accelerate everything or anything, but it is a massive validating point, says Lamb. I would have a question for Mr. Lamb. Yeah. To what end are we doing it? Right, exactly. Just so they can say they did it? Right, right.

Just because this brings us one step closer to a mammoth? Like, what's next? Like a, like a woolly dodo bird or a... Yeah, like I get, like, if something's extinct, there's excitement in the idea that you could bring them back through whatever means. Right, right. You know, it goes back to late 1800s.

People would fantasize about unthawing an ancient man from the ice and that maybe you could revive him. Turns out that science was not going to work. I may be a caveman that fell into a craven. Yes, and was frozen for several million years, but I think the defendant's guilty. I miss Phil Hartman. I do, too. He was so good.

Unfrozen K. Man Lawyer was the best. That was one of their best, for sure. Yeah, I don't know what their point is with it, though. Like, I don't know what the end game is. I'm sure there are other applications are for genetic modifying stuff and all that, but I just, these are awfully big to try to recreate? Like, what are you doing? Are you just going to make a few, put them in zoos?

Are you going to have herds of them? Are you going to... Wild herds of woolly mice roaming the plains. Yeah, you just do one. Just say, here he is. We're calling him, Hank, and he sits here and looks at you. Well, you look at him. We did it, everybody.

All right, on to the next thing. What do you want to recreate an alligator that died four billion years ago? Okay, cool. It just seems odd to me. Next is you're going to revive the Woolly Willie, which is the little magnetic cardboard thing that you used a magnet to give him. hair.

I like that. I used to love that. Iron shavings or whatever, iron filings or whatever they are. You used to love that. I used to, we also do this. I don't know if you did this, but in elementary school, we had sandboxes. And somebody figured out if you rolled a magnet in the sandbox, it would attract all these metal filings.

Right. Which seems bad to have a bunch of sand and kids playing in it and getting it in their face and mouth and stuff eating metal filings. But it was so cool because you pull out your mess. magnet was all fuzzy with like all furry with a little yeah we thought that was so cool we're doing our own experiments um was i going to say oh here's what i want make a woolly mammoth just do the one and give it the voice of of uh raymond everybody loves raymond oh well you guys have to bring me back he'd say it's getting close to my patrick ballroom

movies. I heard the saddest thing about Patrick Warburton the other day. He's talked about this letter he got from his dad, like a four-page letter after his first Seinfeld spot aired, telling him how disappointed he was in his first TV appearance. It was just sad. No way, really. Yeah, it's like guys on the biggest comedy on television. It's a huge gig to get. It basically launched the rest of his career, Patrick Orburton's career. And all his dad can do is criticize his first appearance on there. That's a freaking bummer.

It made me sad. I wanted to laugh and instead, I was sad, Brian. I was sad. Yeah, it would be sad too. Yeah, still sad. All right, we're going to take a break when we come back from said break. Mr. Steven Schleiker will belly up to the bar and share some stuff with us for major spoilers. Come on back for that.

First, a song. Sure. I'll give you a little bit of trivia that's better than that Patrick Warburton trivia. Okay. Um, Anson Williams, who played Potsie Weber on Happy Days, uh, he's, his, his family name is really Heimlich, because he is actually related to Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the Heimlich maneuver. What, that's awesome. Yeah. That's so cool.

He could help you if you were choking on a burger at Arnold. He would have been able to, he would have known what to do. Did they ever have a scene like that or he? No, that would be great. Ralph, step out of the way. Ralph Malfe, I'm going to give him the Heimlich maneuver. Ralph Mouth would have it stuck in his mouth. That'd be perfect.

That's right. I'd be into it. All right, let's get to the indie in the middle here. This is a band called Hot Wax, H-O-T-W-A-X, just like it sounds. This is their debut album that's called Hot Shock. The first song from that is called Strange to Be Here. Listen, if you like bands like Wolf Alice and Boy Genius, you're going to love this because Catherine Marks, who works with those bands or as part of those,

bands, or produced, I should say, those bands is producing this one as well. Here is Hot Wax, the brand new M, Hot Shock, and the song, Strange to Be Here. Somebody crawled in the bathtub Waiting for you, it's so strange to be here Holding the view Somebody crawled in the bathtub Waiting for you, it's a strange to be here It's a strange to be here

It's a strange to be here It's a strength to be here It's a strange to me I I pulled apart my threads I pulled apart my breath Address the same rundown I

I pulled apart my threads I picked apart my breath It's so strange to be it It's a strange to be it It's a strange to be it It's so strange to be Crossed off to my shoulder Shuttonator

we're gonna one locked down one locked down we're locked down it's a strange to be held it's a strange to be it it's a strange to be it's a strange to be it

it's a strange for me So, Yeah. So, yeah You know, So, Most of us don't know a whole bunch about computers, and therefore when we buy our basic computer, we figure it'll do just about everything.

That's life, baby. And we're back. Who was that again? That was a band called Hot Wax from their brand new album, which came out last week called Hot Shock. That is a song called Strange to Be Here. Hot Wax, Hot Shock, Hot Everything. Hot Wax, Hot Shock.

They're a hot band. They certainly are. By the way, Dr. Calhoun explains that his, Warburton's dad was disappointed, not that he was on TV, but just in the episode was because Puddy stole George's sex move, and he was disappointed that the episode he was on involved sex. Oh, I missed that part.

His dad is a little bit of a prude. That's right. His first was that whole swirl thing or whatever the hell was going on there. Right, with a twist, yes. Finish with a twist. That show, dude. Counterclockwise twist. George, was that one where George ate food in bed?

No, that's a different one. He started to associate like Biggs deli sandwiches with sex. He brought a, oh, no, I guess the eclare he pulled off the top of the trash. He's always doing something like that. Yeah. Oh, man. That's great. Great.

Okay, we're going to get Stephen in here. That's what we're going to do. Yeah, yeah. He wasn't here last week because I was under the poker. Exactly. We decided to save the very Irish Stephen Schleiker for St. Patrick's Day. That's right. That's the perfect time to do it.

Here you go. And now welcome Stephen to the show. He's a huge freaking nerd. Dalla, doll of bills, y'all. Hey, look who it is. Steven Schleiker. Joining us from Major Spoilers.com all the way from Hayes Kansas. Steve, a good morning. How are you? I'm good, Scott. Good morning, Brian. Good morning. Good to see you.

Did you, you need to, Brian's getting his physical today. I got my poke last week. You should get in there. Get in there and get some. Actually, I have my six month. I go every six months. And that is on Friday. So I'll be doing my on Wednesday or Thursday. I haven't decided that. Nice, nice, nice. If it comes out. And then I do my, and I do my, probably my next colonoscopy next year. Oh, fun. Gotcha. I'm on a five-year routine. instead of the 10 years. So do you got like a family history or anything like that? No, it's just, you know, the last time they were up in there, they were like, hey, we saw, you know, just a thing.

It was fine. No problem. But we want to check in on it. Yeah. Whenever they find, they find polyps usually, not always, but sometimes when they find them, they'll say, yeah, you're on the five-year plan. Yeah, that's mean. Yeah.

And I was worried that was going to happen this time. And I said, no, you're clean. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they found a polyp in mine five years ago. So it's like, all right, you're on the five-year plan, Brian. so it must be automatic then they don't i think so now it is yeah yeah must be i think it changes so

much because remember when it was like get in there if you're 40 no it's 45 now it's 50 we're back to 45 like they just keep moving it around it's weird 5 is the new then the old then the new then the old 50 is the new 45 everybody get used to it uh Stephen it's good to have you here we missed you last week terribly terribly missed you here's what we miss talking about and that is you know we talk about diamond distribution and their whole yeah Reorganization and all that. But then you pose this question. Has the comic distribution problem been solved?

Has it? Well, it's kind of gotten kind of complicated. So first of all, for most publishers, they have all pivoted away from Diamond and are now either at Lunar or Random House or one of those two or they've got their own situation going. That's for your big top tier, your Marvel, your Deer. PCs, Dynamites, Mad Cave, Oni Press, all of those guys have all pivoted over to Lunar. So there really shouldn't be that big of a disruption. The problem comes if you're a small publisher, people that, you know, kind of make up the back end of, you know, they still sell like 2,000, 3,000 copies a month, but they don't have 50 titles coming out. A lot of the reports that I'm getting is some of these smaller publishers are having a tough time getting a hold of any.

anyone at Lunar to take their calls to get their comics distributed. And so there are some, there's probably maybe five or six small publishers that I've seen online saying, we don't know what's going to happen. We think we're going to be out of business because we have no way of distributing comics to comic bookstores. Oh, man. I don't like that. I like the little guys.

I want the little guys to win. I want to see Diamond take a dump and everybody else benefit. More on that in just a second. And on the flip side, I'm also one person jumped into our comment section over at Major Spoilers a couple of weeks ago and was like, hey, listen, because of all these shenanigans and tariffs as well, my local comic shop in a fairly large city has decided they don't know what to do with distribution, how they're going to get their comics, and don't know how much more they're going to have to pay for comics. So they're just shutting down. Oh, shit. I don't like that. Yeah.

Yeah, you got to remember most comics are being published, single issue comics are being published in Canada. So if a 200% tariff goes into effect or 25 or 10 or whatever the crazy tariff value is today, that will impact your comic books, which means it's going to be passed on to customers, which means fewer comics are going to be sold, which is going to be bad for everybody. There is a, there's an opportunity here. I really believe this, because we have two things burning on the same candle. one is this side of it that you're talking about small distributors taking a dive a small comic book shops themselves going well this is too much we can't do it so it does feel like well the physical comic world is it's definitely going through a reset if not a you know a reduction uh on the other side piss poor on the digital front

nobody's doing a good job all three of the major things so when i say that i mean Marvel Unlimited, D.C. United, and Comicsology are all kind of in the toilet in terms of functionality and features and user experience. They're not great. It depends on how you define usability and features. I will agree with everyone that before Comicsology was enveloped by the giant Amazon webpage and everything was folded into the main Amazon, when it was its own standalone site, everything was pretty good there. Now, the reading on the Kind of the Kindle app, that's not that big of a deal for me. But we're also seeing digital comic apps shutting down. Like Dark Horse Comics announced they are shutting down

their Dark Horse digital app. Yeah. So you're not going to be able to get your Dark Horse digital comics. So this is what I think. There's an opportunity here. There's an opportunity for a mega millionaire. If I was this guy, I would do this. Come in, reinvent what the digital side looks like

and really make it awesome. like user experience, discoverability, just really go nuts with it and recreate and even make better what comicsology tried to do before they got sucked into the Amazon ecosystem and really own that and be a big enough dude mover and shaker

or man, dude lady or company I don't care where it comes from that they can actually make that kind of impact with this and just own the digital side because someone's going to need to because I don't think anyone's ready for where all this lands. Like, where is it all going to go and will it be any good? Are we just going to kiss comics goodbye at some point?

That sucks. Forget that. F that. I don't want to live in that world. Well, so that, you know, there's the other side, too, is I think we're set for a big evolution in that people may not be getting monthly titles anymore. You may have to wait six months to get a OGN of the Avengers, your next six issues of the Avengers arc, and that's going to be in a smaller-sized format that can fit on shelves

and last a lot longer. I've been saying this for several years that we need to move away from the single-issue floppy and move towards, you know, hey, here are six issues. Let's move to the manga style. We're going to cram, you know, 300 pages of comics for $10 or $11. It's not going to be on the highest quality paper or whatever, but we're going to be able to get those out, and it's going to be appealing to people, and people will buy them and suck them up.

And the main thing is getting them into bookstores. And I think, Scott, a couple of weeks ago, you guys said you went to the new Barnes and Noble, one of the new Barnes & Noble stores. You guys were talking about it. So, you know, Barnes and Noble is making a comeback. So I think if we can get stuff into a traditional bookstore, into libraries, that's the other important place, then I think that comics will survive. I mean, comics are going to survive.

But, I mean, I think the way that they approach them is really wrong. I mean, when you look at what Scholastic is doing with Dogman, and Captain Underpants and Hilo and all of these others that are really getting into bone is still super popular among the grade school and middle school kids. And then you see what manga is doing. There's a business process that is wrong at the publisher, distributor, and comic shop level that is making, even though it's like billion dollar a year industry, could be $10 billion a year. Yeah. And all it does is when I use these crappy apps now, because they used to be like a Marvel Unlimited, we'll use that as an example. They used to be way better. I don't know what happened. They just dumped it down and it doesn't have near the discoverability. I don't, when I go in there, I'm like, what should I read? And it's like, hey, X-Men something, something here. But we don't, they don't give you the beginning of the story arc that it's in. They don't tell you where to start or stop. They used to. They don't do that anymore. I don't mind waiting six months for. that to digital. That's fine. That's okay. There's enough backlog. But navigating that stuff and using it sucks. So my thinking is if they want to, I mean, I really, if they want to stave off what is

clearly, and there's an uptick in comic book piracy right now. Why? Why? Because these services suck. When they suck, people go for, if it's more convenient to pirate a comic than it is to get it legitimately, you have a, you have a big problem. with how you're distributing your content. And then the other problem, and this has been the problem since day one, digital comics should not be the same price as a physical edition. You know, instead of paying $599 or $4.99 or with tariffs, $10.99 on a comic book, $4.99 comics should be $1.99.

$3.99 comics should be $0.99. Steve Jobs went to the music industry way back when and said, listen, sell these songs for $0.99 and people will do it because it's cheaper than going through the routine of piracy. Yeah, it becomes a no-brainer. It's like, oh, 9.9 cents, I'll just pay for that rather than go through the hell of Altavista

Napster. And imagine Brian Abbott sitting there late at night, and he's playing Marvel Snap, and then all of a sudden, hey, this costume appeared in X-Men number 27, and you can click on that and you can get that digital version of that for 99. Yeah. And you can get that for 99 cents. Man, you'd have that right

they're in the palm you're just completely missing out on that extra revenue they're so dumb about it i don't get it and they want you know infinite's got this new infinite ultimate or whatever so you can up your plan to get day some day and dates not all day and dates but some day and dates instead of waiting the six months or the three months whatever dc does but it's just not enough this experience is bad it's just kind of shitty i just want it to be good again because i love reading comics and i am a digital guy now i i prefer it as a as a way to consider consume and not stack more crap up in my house. So give me a better way, man.

I've also moved over to digital because physical is just, I have no room for it. Yeah, you got no place to store. I discovered this weekend. I also don't have the storage space for digital comics because we get all of the review copies from the publishers. And so I've been doing this for almost 20 years now. And so I went to my hard drive just to see the state of the hard drive. And it's like, hey, this 14 terabyte hard drive, it's at 13.5 terabytes full.

Jeez. Yeah. You have a lot of comics, dude. You have the equivalent of a warehouse full of long boxes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I also have a bedroom that is, you know, literal long boxes. 30,000 comics in long boxes.

So there's, okay, so let's go back to the diamond thing. So things are getting a little bit more interesting because Diamond is auctioning off. for the company that's dealing with the Chapter 11 and trying to get them solvent is auctioning off a bunch of their stuff. So the fact that everybody's pivoting over to Lunar, the fact that they are auctioning off things, including free comicbookday.com, they have like 50 URLs that they're selling. So you guys might want to jump in there. I have no money to do these things. But you guys might want to jump in there. Brian and I are loaded.

We need places to throw money. So let's do it. Let's get in there. All of that happens like this week, March 19th is the bid deadline for people to bid on any of the things that Diamond has put up for auction. I don't know if the warehouse space is going up on that auction or not, but you can find it online if people are looking. The fact that they're getting rid of so many of their URLs trying to auction those off, including free comicbookday.com, should be telling as well. the other thing that people might be thinking about is yeah what about free comic book day we are seeing companies pulling out a free comic book day we are mad cave studios has announced that they're yanking all of their books from free comic book day and these are the ones that are mostly kid oriented uh so of the flash gordon adventures and hero baron the kid and phineas and ferv and the phantom those are not going to be available for free comic book day there are a couple of other publishers that I've seen who are saying

oh yeah, no, no free comic book day for us. Lunar is trying to do something where they're trying to get stuff out to comic shops and they may cover the cost of it, but yeah, free comic book day may not

have the selection that everyone thinks it will have. I don't, yeah. I mean, it's kind of been a little bit abysmal the last few years anyway, go in there. You know, you go to a comic book and you're like, oh, what are we doing here? These are all like pamphlets, barely comics anymore. Right, like, exactly.

Yeah, I don't like it. I'm not a fan of where that's all headed. By the way, you mentioned Marvel Snap and Brian sitting there playing Marvel Snap. Yeah. I'm going to admit to something. Well, no, but I'm going to admit to something embarrassing. Because you were, I don't remember what you're saying, Stephen. It's like, picture Brian playing Marvel Snap, whatever he says.

It does just sit open on my iPad for some reason, but I don't, but I'm not playing it. Well, so I just hit me two days ago. I'm glad he said it because I want to. to say this on the show. Is Snap called Snap because of the Snap? Because of Thanos. Yeah. Is that why?

Is that the joke, not the joke, but the reference? It's funny because they don't really show, like, one of the emotes you can, you can have is Thanos snapping. But that's really the only reference to Snap being connected to Thanos. It's not like, you know, they show more Galax. on this thing than they do. Yeah, recently, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

So I always thought it was called Marvel Snap because every time I play it and someone plays a card against me, I'm like, oh, snap. Oh, there you go. I like that. I've got the power. I just always assumed it was the blip snap that. No, I assumed it was just like a cute word that worked well. But then yet the other day, I was like, is it because of Thanos?

Is that the snap? I don't know. Ian says it's because you snap cards down. but I don't know about that. I don't know. You don't really snap. How do you snap cards down? Yeah.

They got little fasteners. Yeah. You press down all right on it. It's like your button fly jeans. Well, anyway, sorry. Are you guys World of Warcraft fans? Sure. Scott is.

I mean, I'm a fan of it. Just not currently afford to, I can afford to play it right now. Yeah, so Spider-Man. Spider-Man is coming to World Warcraft, but not what's, I'm thinking, Magic the Gathering. Oh, Magic the Gathering.

Oh, Magic the Gathering. Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, that's not World Warcraft at all. Yeah, magic keeps getting all these crossovers, and Spider-Man's the next one, I think. Yeah, yep, yep. So a lot of people will snap those up, I'm sure. We saw, we saw, there was some brawl at our Costco over a couple of, yeah, some early, some early, no, these were MTG. I think they were magic.

I can't, no, I don't remember. There was a Pokemon fight at a Costco that made national news. This thing was, we just heard arguing. in the Costco we were in over what I think was magic the gathering boxes and as per usual it's always like these scalper guys that's never like collectors yep yep so they're in there just going i hear it first right yeah and they had like security over there and i was like oh i'm going to go over to the TVs i don't want any part of this yeah some bullshit i want to go look at a tv i can't afford walmarts and targets for a while we're putting or at least our walmart was putting all of the

collectible cards back behind with the cigarettes so that scalpers couldn't come in and just wipe the whole aisle. But then that went away about a year or so ago. And so they put them back on the shelf. And now anytime you go in to try to get Pokemon or magic cards, they're all gone again. Yeah, just poof out of there. Yeah. I'll never quite fully understand. I will fully never quite understand it. Like I understand fandoms. The magic thing just seems insane to me. It's just so much money and so much like people are willing to spend $1,000 on a single card. You'd have to really be into a thing to do that, I guess. I mean, it's the collectible, it's the collectible mentality, right? It's the same way with

comic books back in the 90s, the speculator market would be like, oh, someday this death of Superman will be worth $20,000 and now you can go pick it up in the dollar bin. Same kind of thing happens with anything that has a rarity thing to it. And also is probably kind of addictive. I know my youngest son is somewhat addictive to. I got to find the shiny Pokemon when he goes. Pokemon hunting. And if he doesn't get the one, he gets upset about it the same way with the cards as well. So there is that kind of dopamine hit that people get from that, that does have a big letdown. I don't know if a lot of the cards today, especially because they are

so mass produced, are going to have the rarity like a Black Lotus that can sell for a million dollars or whatever. So I don't know. I would just caution people that if you're thinking that your Pokemon card is going to increase in value like a Bitcoin, yeah, probably I'll invest that money in a Bitcoin or something. Yeah, I'm not even sure. I'm not even sure the Bitcoin will gain value like a Bitcoin. Depends, I guess. Depends on when you ask.

All right, well, this is fascinating. There's also more Batman movies on the way, and I assume we're getting Matt Reeves follow up. I hope we do to the last one. Well, so here's the rundown. So Ashley, Victoria Robinson is back right. the weekly did you hear on the major spoilers.com website. And we're doing it a little bit differently.

We're tweaking it with a little bit more in-depth thought reaction and stuff from the industry. But here's what we know. Post-production of Superman continues going on. Gunn is also working on post-production of Season 2 of Peacemaker. Then they are halfway through filming next summer's Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow, which will be a really, really good movie adaptation. Oh, Millie Alcock's in that, dude. Yeah, I like her a lot.

She's cool. They've started production on the Green Lantern series on HBO. There are going to be even more Batman movies coming, including Batman the Brave and the Bold, also an authority movie on the way. Really? Yeah, that'll be interesting. That one's going to be the one that's going to be most interesting because two of those characters are analogs for Batman and Superman and they're gay lovers. So that'll be the really interesting thing. Midnighter.

And I forget, sun something, I forget what one another. So we're looking at TV series like Waller and Booster Gold and then animated series. Booster Gold. Holy shit. We're doing a Booster Gold series. I cannot wait for that one. That'll be fun. Or they'll laugh it up completely.

That's going to be a hard one. But we'll see. I mean, you know what? The Cina one should be bad and it's not. It's amazing. Yeah. If they can pull off Guy Gardner in this upcoming Superman movie, then Booster Gold will be easy to do.

Yeah, yeah. Because Booster is just always like this guy that's always in for the grift, is always looking for a way to make himself wealthy and rich. Yeah. And he does it by traveling back in time to become a superhero because he thinks that that's the best way. In fact, there was an arc where his suit was covered in like stickers from all of these corporations that sponsor him, like a race car.

And he thought that that would be the way to get money. So that could be a really fun show. And then, of course, Clayface, movie and then maybe either a new live action Teen Titans movie or another animated Teen Titans movie are still in the works are most of these when you say movies like we're talking to direct to max are we talking theatrical that that part we don't know yet because Zaslov but it would be nice to see a return to the theater even though i hate the theater going experience right now it'd be nice to see a lot of these things go back into the theater do you see my corny joke about Zazlov yesterday? I don't know if you saw it. No, I did not. Okay, I'm going to read it to you. Here's what it was. It was a post on Blue Sky said. Not sure you guys know this, but David Zazlov is Polish for, well, I guess I'll have to

just pirate that one now, too. Because he took all the Looney Tunes down yesterday. All of them. Yes. That's lame. Lame big bird to him. Limo. They did that with, was it, not Tom and Jerry, but they did that with a bunch of Looney Tunes

cartoons a couple of years ago because they're just like, and these are the ones that are not being watched very much. So I don't know if there is a general consensus that the quote unquote numbers aren't there for them to take it all down. But it is kind of a slap in the face. More than likely, if you've been paying attention to what's been going

on over at Netflix, they're getting a lot of these movies, these DC movies, showing up on Netflix. So it would not surprise me to see if Netflix shells out big money and does the marketing of the Looney Tunes right. Oh, yeah.

Now, Disney could come in and just say, yeah, we want all the, we want all the cartoons. Thank you. Yeah. I don't care where they end up. I just want to have them to be available. Making this artificial scarcity thing just draws me to go to somebody's Plex server and watch them there. Exactly. I'm already paying you.

Just have the thing. I mean, how much could it caught? The Looney Tunes thing actually feels loony tunes to me. Because these are made in the 30s and 40s. They're ancient. Nobody's alive getting those royalties. or free licensing. I don't know how that all works.

I'm not going to pretend like I know how all of that works, but I'm sure I'm almost positive that this is a cheap thing for you to keep around that is so important to the WB brand. What are you doing? Or maybe like me, they walked into their server room and they realized, oh, we've only got 14 terabytes of storage and it's kind of full up. We need to get some stuff out of here before we can get these into a piecemaker.

I love that, dude. We're all out of drive space. we got to get rid of something cut the looney tunes and uh west wing repeats while you're at it get those out of there right right that's funny um well all right then this is all well and good i'll tell you what if you want to follow this kind of content there's no better place than major spoilers dot com and also the podcast network there in what's going on over there anything cool now listen uh many of your listeners and maybe you guys too are familiar with this cartoon series called amphibia which ran on on disney a few years ago is a fantastic three season uh story i don't think van is

quite old enough for it yet, but a couple more years he will be. It's about a girl who gets zapped into a dimension of amphibians, and she is trying to find her way home. Matt Brawley is the creator of that. I had a chance to sit down and talk with him for the major spoilers podcast. That interview drops tomorrow, Wednesday morning, and there is a brand new art book. That's the art of amphibia. That is just fantastic. That's coming out on the 26th of this month. So people will want to go check that out. And if you're a fan of Amphibia, amphibia. This was a fun conversation. We talked about his time

on Gravity Falls. We talked about the other shows, Big City Greens that he's worked on and some of his upcoming projects. He's got a comic book project coming up very soon as well. And so it was a fun conversation. I kind of fan boy out a little bit with him just because the shows that he has worked

on have been big influences on everybody in our household. I'll bet. Yeah, I've even heard of this, but it looks awesome. It's got, listen to some of actors. Troy Baker is very famous voice actors in there. Stephen Root as Mayor Toadstool. Yeah, yeah. He's great.

Yeah, I love him. Playing Toadie. Brenda Song does the main, Brenda Song does the main girl's voice. Anna Akana does kind of in season one and portion of season two, her antagonist in that. So they've got some

great voice actors in that show. And it's all the other thing, too, it's all hand animated. I didn't realize when I was talking, I was just thinking that they We're using, you know, whatever the current software is that you use to animate 2D animation. But he's like, no, it's all hand-drawn and even pulled out a cell, a full-size Disney animation cell that was hand-drawn for the show. That's great. I got to watch this.

Yeah, it's good. It's a good show. I don't think even Carter knows about this. She's way into this. Carter should watch this because this is a good piece. And you say Matt Braley, Browley. How do you say it? Broly.

Yeah, and Brawley rhymes like trolley. Yeah, and he's, you know, all involved in Gravity Falls, like you mentioned. She loves Gravity Falls, so I don't know why she doesn't know about this. Now, he's not Alex Hirsch, so Alex Hurst created. Yeah, he was part of the work department. He directed a bunch of episodes. And how he got into Gravity Falls is a fascinating story in itself. And you guys can tune in to the major spoilers podcast this week for that interview.

Ooh, he wrote an episode of Stephen Universe that was reviewed really well. I love Stephen Universe. And I'll house and a bunch more. That stuff's great. All right. Awesome. That's great. I'm a new thing to watch.

Well done. Steven, as always, major spoilers.com, and you got water where you live? You're all right? I do, actually. I've got a, hey,

this is the weird thing. I got a can of liquid death, not sponsored. But we've got a red flag warning today. Yeah. And a winter storm warning tomorrow. And you got no mountains to soak it up. You got to just take it.

No, no. No, we just got to take it. Yeah. Get out there, put your perineum in the sky, and let it rip. Talk to you soon.

I don't know. I don't know why I said that. All right. Nice. A couple final notes, Brian, before we go. Yeah. Oh, sorry, I'm okay, wrote in. He writes it like I am, oh, oh, H, K-E-A-E.

Oh, hey. I like a nice phonetic misspelling. It's fun. Who doesn't with us, especially. And anyway, it was about the nurse that I had when I went in for my hoo-ha, and I called them nurse, test, or not Tesla, Teflon. That's what I called him because I couldn't remember his name. Anyway, says this.

Was Scott's nurse named Tesfa? I worked with someone by that name for four months at L.A. General Hospital. He was an older gentleman who I believe was from Ethiopia. I think his name is relatively common there. Love the show, though. No, this was a short, white Jewish man who was maybe in his late 20s. Tevye was his name. Yeah.

If I were a rich man. It's a good point. It's much closer to accurate, probably. I can't remember it, but whatever Teflon's name was, it's not this guy, so I'm sorry, I'm okay. You're still okay, though, whoever I'm okay is. Nick from Western Mass wrote in and says, Scott, it's Nick from Western Mass. I thought I'd bestow upon you today one thing you said that was incorrect recently. Oh, I love those.

Okay. Call me out. I have no problem with it. Neither is Brian. If we say something you think is up our butt and wrong, you tell us. Totally. Please do. And they do. Yeah, they absolutely do.

Feel free to continue. We love it. He says, and the one thing. thing that makes you awesome, incorrectly stated fact by Scott. Kieran Culkin was not the little kid in the movie signs, as you stated on Monday show, but rather Rory Culkin was the actor

who played Crazy Mel Gibson's son. Too many Culkins, I say, or maybe not enough, Culkin's. Not enough for Rory, really. I mean... Agreed. Yeah, Rory Culkin, do we know from anything else besides that? I can't think of it. I mean, some kids' movies and...

Yeah, that's it. Stuff that we haven't seen, but... I can't think of anything else. I'll be honest, I thought they were this. I thought I was the same Culkin. I didn't realize Rory was, I mean, they all look the same. There's a bunch of Culkins. Right. That's what you get.

Too many Culkins, too many Culkins. But Karen Culkin, you know, you could argue that we've seen too much of him after that window scene in succession. But anyway, I really would, you know what I'd love to do? Right now in New York, they're doing that run of Glengarry, Glenn Ross. And it's Karen Culkin. Oh, absolutely. Better call Saul. What's the name?

I can't think of his name all of a sudden. Odin Kirk. Odin Kirk. And then Odin Kirk's brother, Squiggy, or not squinty, Lenny, not really. Saul's brother.

Michael. Michael McKeon. Thank you. And some other actors who are escaping me right now. But they're all up. Oh, Bill Burr. I forgot to mention him. He's up there.

Who's Tolkien playing? Because he feels like he's too animated for any of the character. is in that movie. I'm trying to remember he's probably the Ed Harris character but I could be wrong. Oh, sure. Okay. That movie's amazing. Holy shit. It's so good. Yeah. But this cast sounds so good. They're fired.

I would love to see those guys on stage. Sounds so good. I would too. For sure. Anyway, he then goes on to say one more thing that makes you awesome. I don't know about that. Scott, you have a great way of bringing people together to make valuable or meaningful content. Oh yeah. And Brian, you're great too. Love the show though. Nick from Western Mass.

Well, I mean, that's nice of you to say. Here's the thing. Thanks for the participation. I will say this, though. Nick from Western Mass, it's people like you out there who consume the content and write in and talk to us

that make the biggest difference. Otherwise, we're talking into the void. Who's out there? We don't know. We're just yelling at 86 people in chat. Yeah, and that's it. That's as good as it gets. One of which yells back in all caps,

but that's it. That's all you get. So you want to write in like this and tell us who you are out there. there so we know you're listening. Your, uh, your easiest way to do it is to use, uh, voicecast. Dot app slash TMS and send us your voicemails or your texts today. Uh, time to get out here, Brian. Do you have a song you want to play for these people? Oh, my God. I can't believe you mention it because I just happened to bring one today. Um, Cappy wrote in and said,

good morning, Scotch and Bourbon, not the only Scotch and Bourbon by the way that we got today. Um, the wife and I will be departing on a cruise today. It would be the perfect day for a song from a local Celtic folk group by called the Body Boys. Many of their songs are spicy, so if you can't find one that works, any fun song along those lines would be amazing, signed Cappy. Well, Cappy, sorry, there's no, I could not find a cover by the Body Boys. I looked at all their stuff and there wasn't. So I went on a deep dive.

One of my favorite Irish bands, really it's an Irish singer who came to New York and formed a band called Black 47. and they had a few covers, all of which were a little on the slower side. So I'm like, all right, well, let's find more of an Irish garage rock and band. I present to you The Tossers. Oh, shit. Yes. This is their cover of the High Kings, the Rocky Road to Dublin from their 2008 album on a fine spring evening.

Here are The Tossers. Well, in the merry month of mine, I'm from my home, I started like to girls, The tomb was nearly broken, had it saluted father dear, I kissed me, darling, mothered and drank a pint to bear me grief and tears, but smother than I've got to read the corn, leave it, I was born, but I was born, but a stout black darned on, the banish coast the goblins a brand new pair of frogs battling off of the bogs brightening all the dogs in the rocky roads a doubling one to three for fun to hunt hair and turn on town the rocky road and all the ways to double in waff a lonely glow in moll and gathered night i rested glimpse of weary started by daylight next line at light

an area took a drop with a pure keep me hard from sink and that's the paddy's cure whenever he's on for drinking to hear the lassie smile laughing all the wall at me courier's coil would set your heart a bubbling i asked him was all hard wages required. I was sick and tired of the Rocky Road to doubling one to three for five. Hunt a hair and turn her down the Rocky Road. All the ways to double and whack for lowly draw in Dublin next the road. I got it's such a pity to be so soon they bribed. A few of that fine city when I took a stroll. All among the quality of my bundle it was stowed. In that neat locality something cross me mind when I looked behind

the bundle did I find a puny stick of an inquiring after the road said me con and Rogue, wasn't much in rogue in a rocky road To doubling, want to draight for flight Hunt her hair and turn her down the rocky road Hold away, so Dublin whack for lolly d'ar But there I got away My spirit never fail and landed on the quay As the ship was sailing, captain at me road

Said at Norum Hattie when I jumped up bud A cabin firm for paddy, down among the pigs Did some hardy rigs, I danced some hardy jigs The water round me bubbled and went up all he had Wish myself was dead, I bet a thawr instead of the rocky road to Dublin water-drieve a bud. Hunter Hare and turn it down the Rocky Road. Holdaways of Dublin what will all die die.

Will the boys of Liverpool when we safely land. They called me a fool. I could no longer stand it. Blood began to boil. Temper I was losing poor old Aaron's oil. They began abusing her army. Somersenai. Callowice come by and saw I was a hovelin with the loud. Hooray!

Joined in the upray. Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin. Wanted to drave a bud. Hot to hair and turn a double and want to drape a bud. down the rocky roll all the way to double and quack for Lollita Oh

looks like someone just got their ears caught in the audio cookie jar at frogpants.com Of course, nothing would make me moisture. Yeah. I don't remember what that's from video game, I think.

Moister. well done everybody let's play what does he mean when he says spicy i assume like swears and stuff and the swear it's a lot of their stuff is very sweary it's really good like it is really cool like you go to a pub this is the band that's playing in the corner and and people are constantly sloshing their beers around waving them at the band but um uh that's why that's why i like all right black 47 had some good covers but you know it's stuff like um uh buffalo springfield for what it's worth and the only living boy in New York and stuff like

that where it's like, all right, they're good songs, they're Irish influenced, but not as fun party atmosphere. This one, Rocky Road to Dublin, is party atmosphere. Very nice. Perfect for today, too. Well done, everybody in part. Very much so. Very appropriate. shirtless Irish is our current leader.

Which might be a good title there, Kai Chu. It might be good. Yeah, I like it. Clue? How do you say that name? CL or K-L-C-H-U. It's a K-L-C-H-U. Oh, it's just K-L-C-H-U. All right. K-L-C-T-U, yeah.

I was trying to pronounce that, and it was kind of impossible. K-L-C-C-H-T-U. It's a... Kale-T-U-S-N-U. I don't know. Is that someone we know? Yeah. Oh, that's I-C-C-K-R.

Kevin. Oh, Kevin Chu. Why is it different than usual I-Core? That's weird. Logged in different, different account? Just a different account. Different login. Dirty messy lepricic.
