The morning stream. They wouldn't give us any more fish. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is Wednesday, March 26th, 2025. My name is Scott Johnson. That guy right there. is Brian Ibid. Good morning. Hello. Happy update today. And look at this. We're breaking out the button up short sleeve field. Oh, look at you. Oh, my gosh. That's amazing. Lion shirts just around the corner. My wife heard that I was into the Henleys lately and I got a new Henley here. Look at this. Nice. Very nice. Yeah. I got all the buttons all the way up because you don't want to see. I have a, this is where my little cigarette hole is right here. Just kidding. I don't know.

I don't know why I button them all the way up. You know, I'm a big fan of the Henley's. Good, good choice. Nothing wrong with the good Henley. How does your basement studio get in the, like, is it a good test for what the weather's like? Because for me, it's freezing down here all winter. And in the summer, because computers are on and stuff, it's kind of the opposite. It gets a little sweltery down here.

Like, how are you, how are you? No, it stays nice and cool. It stays relatively the same year-round for me, uh, oddly. enough. I don't know. God, I haven't done anything and I probably should knock on wood to make sure it stays that way because it's, you know, it's comfortable all year. Yeah. It's not bad. In the winter, it does, but get pretty, but I have the space heater here. And that keeps me feet warm. It keeps me feet warm. It keeps me feet warm. But I think the way we've vented it may be a little weird and maybe it's not the most conducive to, I don't know, I don't know. Sure. I'll blame Steve since I can't, I don't really know how it works. I'll just blame him because he helped me do it. And when I say help me, it's more like I helped him do it because he's the guy. Yeah, right.

I'll watch while he does it and maybe hold a hammer for him while he does this. I admit it. He peed, that dude, I mean, I'm telling you, if anyone lives near him, actually right now nobody does because he's out in the middle of nowhere in Mississippi building the house. But if you live anywhere within distance of him and the zombies come, you want to run to his place. That's who. That's who you want on your side. Oh, my gosh, yes. That survivor group needs a Steve, and he will build everything.

Like, all your real world skills will mean nothing, but his will mean everything in the survival of the species. So good luck to you. Well, I have a hard enough time. I have enough time with the squirrels in the neighborhood, let alone zombies. Maybe I need him to build something for that. You know, I think, actually, I finally thwarted the squirrels. So, you know, I had that bird feeder mounted on the side of our paddies. video and I've been trying everything like having a baffle underneath it so the squirrels can't

climb up well they just go over the site and they jump and they use the baffle to kind of climb up to it and um smart little bastards those things they're smart they really are absolutely and the raccoons were a problem then so I actually had to bring in the bird feeder over night every night for a while and and um all that I uh over the weekend just said screw it as As nice and convenient as it is to have it on the patio makes it very easy to fill. The problem is I'm having to refill it daily because the scrolls are eating all the food and then the birds come and they're like, you know, shrug their little birdie shoulders and are like, you know, what's up?

How come the bird feed are out of food? Why is this? This restaurant sucks, they say. Exactly. We're never coming. Yelp, one star. We're never coming here again. Broke down and finally unmounted it from the patio.

and got a pole. So this thing now is in not really the center of the yard. It's in one corner of the yard, but it's in a part of the yard that's not close to anything else for obvious reasons. Don't want it close to the tree

because they'll just climb down the tree, jump from the fence, whatever. It's kind of in its own little separated area, but what's really nice is it's close to one of our windows in our living room. So we can look out, see the birds on the feeder, get that pleasantry of nature

whenever we want. That's nice, and they're all flocking back because now they don't have to deal with squirrel shit. Well, the scrolls were climbing right up that pole and still eating at the feeder and like eating everything. So I know, I know. So I picked up a big 16-inch clear plastic baffle. Looks like it's the top half of a 50s UFO. And have that on there. And I just sit there and I watch the scrolls run up the pole.

and they look at this this weird force field and poke it with their nose and then they slowly inch their way back down the pole now for three days no squirrels no raccoons and

and Tina's laughing at me because now I'm feeling really bad for the squirrels because I see them sadly at the bottom underneath the bird feeder now eating the little tiny things that the birds discard like anything that gets knocked out of the bird feeder bounces off this little shield and then goes down to the ground and they're you know they're like oh here's a little seed and it's like oh these squirrels are so damn cute so i have a i bought a bag of uh shelled peanuts at sprouts and i'm putting a bunch of those out every day for you know that's great you could do you could do a little um i guess some birds would get those too if they were daring enough but you could put a little thing down at the bottom that's like squirrel food here birds up here before you know what that pole that pole that pole that pole that pole

is going to be, and every animal is welcome. Here, come get your little sex. Exactly. See, the problem is I want to put just enough out there so the squirrels eat all the peanuts during the day and the raccoons still have no reason to come back to my yard. Because they dig holes. They're dicks. Yeah. No, they're dick. They're not going to respect you. You're going to do this night thing for them. They're not going to do a nice

thing back for you. No, exactly. Barry and Bobby Ann have raccoons that come to their backyard nightly. And they're able to, you know, Bobby Ann can pet them and, you know, stretch their little heads and they'll sit there and eat an apple or something off their deck and totally domesticated-ish raccoons. I'm not to that level yet.

I want these things far away. Yeah. They're evil little rats if you don't have a good system for keeping them at bay. But they're also cute as hell, which makes them worse when they're cute. I know. They're so dang adorable. Yeah. I don't know.

I want that arm. Give me that arm over there. No, the red button. You're going to push the red button. Yep. They all talk like Rocket. I wish that were true because then we'd even think they were cooler. My hands don't scan.

That's right. Hey, check this out. Yesterday I talked about it briefly, but if you're a fan, their home of the Severance, I drew this picture of Dylan, and Dylan is one of my favorite characters. He's played by Zach Cherry, and he's standing in one of them,

their severance hallways looking all freaked out because that's what you do on Severance. This spoils nothing, by the way. If you haven't seen it, this is just a character in the show. It's just a character, yeah. And Dylan is a beloved character. Once you watch the show, if you haven't, you'll be like, oh, I get it. He's great.

We love Dylan. And I made this thing. And so a bunch of people said, Scott, put it on the store. And I'm like, really? And it's like, yeah, put it on the store. I want this. And I said, okay, fine. So if you're interested, there is a 8x10 signed by me for free, also free shipping version

of this print. in the store, frogpants.shop. Head over there and check it out. This will be a limited time thing. I don't know how many we're going to print, but it'll be enough to cover. And like I said, all hand-signed, all shipped to you without cost.

Even if you're international, you'll get an 8 by 10 for free in the mail. Super cool. So watch for that. Just finished the Orchbo episode last night. Again, not a spoiler because you don't know what an Orch Bo is until you know what an Orch Bo is. That's right. There's lots of words in the show where you could say it to people who don't know and they would have no idea.

And then they would see it and go, oh, there's that word Brian was talking about. Yep, exactly. But I already, yeah, once you know it, you're already in that. You already are experiencing it before you know what the word is. You get to the Dylan, let's say the visit stuff. You got to that yet in there? Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't know what you're talking, the Dylan visit. Yeah, someone visiting Dylan, let's put it that way. in the visit room

yes yes I did get that oh my god so happy to see that person she's so great dude love her that actress yes yeah I knew you'd like that love love her yeah that was a few episodes ago or at least for us a couple episodes big fan um all right

so anyway frogpans dot shop go check it out please do it that would be great also according to jonathan who called into the show at voicecast dot app slash tms we are not a show about philosophy and never have been. I'll let him explain. Hi, Scott and Brian. This is about the Tuesday show. Well, I think all of us are, you know, stricken or struck by momentary plights of introspection, not unlike Richard Dreyfus staring at a pile of mashed potatoes, asking what it all means. I do want to point out that, strictly speaking, nothing to which you referred to as philosophical on today's show had

anything to do with philosophy in any way, shape, form, or definition of the term. Thank you. And have a good day. I love this guy. I love this guy. Everybody needs this guy in their life, someone like this guy. Totally. Yeah. What were we, what did we claim was philosophical? I don't remember at all.

I think we did, but I don't have any memory of what it was. I'd have to go back to that episode. We talked about iPods and the creative Zen, Nomad, Toblerone, whatever. We talked about the word blunt. Yeah, yeah. We talked about BYU. It might have been, oh, was it, was that the day I brought up the time? The time thing? Was that it? Because Bobby wasn't here. Bobby was Monday. Yeah, Bill was yesterday.

Yeah, but we said it on a Tuesday before Bob. Remember Bobby was in the chat and said, I'm talking about this next time I come in. So it could be Tuesday before last. Oh, could be that you went that far back. Yeah. Because that was pretty philosophical. That discussion. That was pretty philosophical. Yeah. I think Jonathan is referring to that. And if he is great, listen, Jonathan, this is your new job here at TMS. You need to call in every time you think we say something that's sort of dumb and not true. You do. Yeah.

All right. I think we also, this came up in the Discord yesterday is that we might need just a segment, maybe at the end of every week. Maybe this is just something for the patrons on Friday. But a, here's all the stuff we got wrong last, this week. So like, like corrections like, all right. So, yeah, it's, Brianna of Tarth is the tall woman that was in severance. Yeah, like we keep

We're mixing Yeah, that happens all the time The trick will be If we're to catalog it Y'all need to tell us what we did Right, right We almost need Maybe what we do is we create a

Channel in the TMS Discord In the TMS section of the Frog Pants Discord And you just put your correction there And on Friday we just read through all of them Yeah, I'd be fine with that You don't put anything in there That's not a correction

You want to do your little chit chat You do it somewhere else sure you have one one post correction step away yeah genie a tanner any of you you make that little room we'll make it happen on fridays there we go perfect i like it patron bonus look at us coming up with new ideas see very cool this is fantastic uh all right finally we have a play date friday that's exciting right yeah yeah play some date no wait what but what you know this will be good because um in our in addition to our usual stuff that we do the usual games we do.

Now we have that extra thing that you picked up that Jackbox short game collection that we tried one of them out. I forgot what the name is, but I love it. It's so good. That was great. You actually checked out all the rest of the games and said they're all They're all great. We could choose any of them.

We could do a random... Like it even has like a jukebox random pole thing. So we just do one. So we could just make it that or whatever. But they're all good. I think it was Shane. You recommended it. He was right. He was fantastic. That's right, yeah. I highly recommend that if anyone out there is just like got to catch them all with the jackbox stuff.

I pretty much own everything with a couple of small exceptions. And that was only 10 bucks, just add it to the launcher. So now it's all together in one place. 10 bucks and it's also like eight games or something. It's like a big collection of the games. Yeah, and they're all short form stuff, trivia, word play, you know, things we all like. Excellent presentation. In fact, it's some of my favorite of all the jackbox games, I really like the,

vibe of it like the interface and the way it i don't know i feel like i'm like i'm playing some some mr robot freaking sneaker game it's really cool so anyway thank you again shane for that recommendation and yes we will be playing uh in full a full two hour party time uh Friday uh from nine to 11 so be here frogpants dot tv it'll be live as well and if you're a patron you get early uh preferential treatment you get to be in the games before anyone else does. We fill it with patrons first, and then we fill the remaining spots

with you other randos. That's right. Yet cheap ass, no, I'm kidding. Cheap ass mother efforts. I had to drop a few patron or things that, sites that I patronize, I guess it would be patronized. Patronize, just to kind of save a little money right now,

but it's a bummer because a lot of the ones that I was paying for are these incredible 3D modelers that do these great Marvel superhero statues, some of which are really just excuses for them to draw really outrageous boobs or sculpt really outrageous boobs. What's the most, what's the egregious one there, do you think? Oh, well, not a Marvel character, but was it Tina Armstrong from Grand Theft Auto, I think? Oh.

Is that what she's from? Hold on. That sounds right. The flag bikini. Oh, where is, yeah, there she is. Tina Armstrong character. Dead or alive, that's what it is. The game.

Dead or alive. Just seems like the most egregious. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she was the most bouncy booby video game character, maybe ever at the time that Dead or Alive came out. Yeah. She's, her whole job is to be bouncy and booby. Right, exactly.

I'm trying to think of which ones they've had. This is her, by the way. It was an Electra. That's her. Oh, okay, that's a very different here. I'll show you the... Oh, she has tons of outfits. She's like all over close.

Yeah, it's the bikini, the, the American one, right? The American flag bikini. Let's see here. Let's see. I haven't. Yeah, actually, well, here, I have the, I have the 3D. This is the graphic from the artist. This is her in game.

Yeah. About what you expect, right? Here's the 3D model that somebody came up with in our Discord chat. That's really good. It is a really good. It's a really good model. Well painted. It's just, you know, very, you know, we know who this is for.

We know what you guys are doing. We know who it's for, exactly. Yeah, we know what you guys are up to. It's good work, though. Another one that surprised me was Elektra. Let me see if, because you don't really think of the character of Electra as being. Like sexy. sexy.

Like sexy, sexy, exactly. Well, there's the, we won't do that one. Let's see here. One second. Hold on.

I do searches all I get is Jennifer Garner. My search for you? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll have to do a Google image search because the, I've deleted the files from,

here we go. Is it this one? I may have found it. Is this it? nope nope that's a really cool one yeah like that yeah CAD studios I don't know who that is yeah beautiful that's sharp uh oh yeah yeah yeah she's uh she's there for you she's got what she uh she knows what she's there for oh we ever even got a little bit of uh a little bit of a little chilly a little chilly in the afterlife

yeah yeah i guess so yeah well you know i can't i can't print that paint it and put it on my shelf i don't think i feel like i can i mean you could but i could it also yeah little sandpaper and take it from an r down to a pg 13 no what you do is you put her up next to that one your your 360 degree scan of you that you had to like sand down the crotch you put that right next to it right there we go perfect perfect perfect pair man uh all right well anyway play date friday 9 a m be there can't wait to play with you guys so please show up for that. All right.

Tadpooley feud time. You know the drill. I'm taking fifth caller. That's the deal. Oh, fifth now. I mean fourth. Sorry. I don't know why I said fifth. Fourth caller. That means fourth person to send me a DM in Discord

will be added. And it doesn't matter if you're a regular, new, or otherwise. I will take the fifth person. I will not take the, sorry, fourth. I will not take the third. I will not take the fifth. I will take the fourth. Like Gary Oldman and Fifth Element.

Not one or two or three, but four. Exactly. I want to make it real clear which numbers I'm not going to accept and which ones I will. So far we have only two have you have you have piped in. Where is everyone? Well, we need a done away anyway. Let's get done away in here while we...

That's a good idea. Wait for the next... That's a great idea. Let's see if we can add him in here. The interface changed. Where's the ad? Oh, there it is. Okay.

Discord did a big UI update It's kind of throwing me a little bit Okay Oh and just like that We have our fourth Oh before we do that Let's just welcome this idiot Hey look who it is

Is Brian Dunaway who will probably lose today Because that's just the attitude I have today I'm feeling all winnie and stuff What's going on? How you doing? Hey he's gotten Brian Oh hi yeah You have a right to feel confident

I think you've won the last several games. So absolutely, Scott is what we used to call an NBA jam. What was it? On a hot streak? Oh, is that what that is? Okay. I didn't know.

You know what? Okay, I'll take it. I'll take it. You get the bonus. Yeah. Play his own fire. That's right. I think it's, I think our fourth,

let me make sure this is right. Yeah, it is. It's Oz. Have we had all that one before? Maybe we have. I remember we've had Oz. okay well good well he's a he's a welcome a turner to the thing claren tally we're trying to be forth they were one and two

congratulations you too you're just a little too quick on the trigger but we have ahs on the phone with us hi oz how are you i'm doing all right how are you good you've been here before right i remember that right you were here before this isn't the first time i've been in chat i've never been on the phone okay oh it's good to hear your voice i think that's what i'm you're always in the chat so i always think you've been on here voice-wise, but this is your first time. Well, welcome. I'm glad I'm always sworn. I could have sworn you'd been on. Yeah, same

with me. It's good to have you here, man. We're going to play a game. Oh, Brian Ibbett here will explain the rules. That's right. Boy, Ibit is saucy, Ibit, woo. It was more of an old Brian, but I'll, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's time to play the tad-poly feud. I've surveyed the old tad-poole on some nervy topics, and Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess.

Oz, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you get a prize package. That includes Checkmate Showdown and Slaycation Paradise. Ooh. Both of the, oh, my gosh, Checkmate Showdown is awesome. It's like the fighting game where your chess pieces battle against each other, right? Kind of. It's like a rogue-likey thing.

It's very, very good. I don't know what the other one is, but... I looked at screenshots from it before. I was like, oh, this looks really cool. Yeah, well, good. I thought it was a checkmate like you ordered off the, you know, mail order. But, okay, good. It's a chess term.

I got you. Like you're running from a catalog of checkmates. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Your friends from Czechoslovakia. Yes. Love it. Yeah, very good.

All right. Scott won't get to play, though, until he actually joins the Cadpool. I'm in. I'm in, have been in. It says, uh... Really? Now I'm getting an air. I see Brian, I see waiting for player to catch the parakeet.

Here's what it says. I got a message that threw up. It says, oh, I guess it wants me to... They got reload. Can't recall... It's weird. Never gotten that before. Oh, now I'm getting a real nasty air.

Really? Yeah, so I'm getting... It'll reload here. I'm getting this now. I'll refresh. I'll refresh the page. Oh, that's not good at all. An error occurred.

Oh, no! All right. me try it again. Just refresh the page, see what you can do. Oh, I'm in now. There we go. Now I see you. That's weird. I think it time's out if I get into early or something. I don't know what that is. Anyway, I'm in now. Cool. All right. Well, let's do this. Put your hands on your buzzers and give me your best answer to this. We asked 439 tadpoolers to name a Las Vegas Casino Hotel. Scott. The MGM Grand.

Oh, show me the MGM grand. Number three, two answers will beat it. Brian, have you been to Vegas? I have never been to Vegas. Yeah, I was wondering. All right. Well, do you know, do you know any hotels there? Oh, no.

I'm going to go with the Marriott. Yeah, you know, the Marriott Hotel and Casino. This should go really well. Show me the Marriott. I mean, there are Marriott's there, right? But it's just not right, yeah. And I won't say that zero people said that because one person did say the Marriott. Maybe you did.

Maybe I did. Maybe it was me. Do you take the survey, Brian, every week? Just curious. Done away. Do I know? No. No.

You don't do it. I don't either. Yeah. I just, I don't know what that would. That wouldn't actually give us a leg up with it. Not really. with it? No, you, well, it would give you a leg up and that you'd know the questions that could come up. And so you could think about those. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Then we shouldn't look at those. Yeah. We won't look at those surveys. Don't you, don't you guys take the survey. Or whoever our contestants are every week, they'll have already taken the survey. So they'll know even what they put in as their answer. Yeah. Like Oz here. He could do it. Yeah. I don't remember. I don't remember. Did you, did you take the? I know. It's been months. Yeah. Did you take the thing? You took the quiz?

I did. Yeah? And you don't remember. All right. Well, maybe yours will pop up. You never know. You never know. It could be in the top 10, man.

Maybe. And you know when I say you, I mean we, because we're in charge now. Brian's straight up. You guys are a team and I really like your chances. You know, I am fully okay, Donnewe. If you want to pull up a list of Las Vegas. Oh. Okay.

Totally fine with that because that won't tell you, you know, if they're on the list or what order or anything like that, but just to give you something to work with if, if it does even come back to you, we'll see. Yeah, you could, the chat will probably be helpful as well. They'll probably, they'll probably. Oh, let's get the chat. Maybe I should do that. Yeah, good plan.

All right. I'm going to, I'm going to suggest the Luxor. We'll go with some iconic stuff here. That's actually the only one that I actually was kind of thinking. What do you think, Oz? You are all right with the Luxor? Hello. Oh, Oz's a senior.

He wasn't hearing. us a second ago. So he's trying to fix his audio. He lost. He lost hearing us. He lost it. He lost audio. Go ahead. Just roll into his cat. I'll just do it. I'm going to keep it that way. Let's go ahead. We'll go ahead and do Luxor just to be safe. We'll look at the Luxor while he's figuring stuff out.

Show me the Luxor. Yeah. Still have a little e-sports little game place there in the Luxor that was fun to visit a few years ago for the Overpans tournament. Let's talk about the hotel that if you can make it

there, you can make it anywhere. That would be the New York, New York. All right. Show me the New York, New York Hotel and Casino. Oh, I am really shocked by that. Okay.

Okay. You're back. You're back. Hi. Hello? Hello? Just the time for Scott to blow it. Yeah, I got one wrong. I said New York, New York. New York was number 22 on the list.

Yeah. Here, I'll show, I'm going to send a video so that if you want to see what we're saying. Oh, there you go. Yeah, you can see the thing. Yeah, so we got Luxor, MGM, Grand. We are currently in the lead, but we do have a strike. And Mr. Brian Dunaway over here, bry guys, he puts on screen. Well, it's his turn.

Let's see what he does. All right, let's see. Well, I did, go ahead. What are you saying? All right. Go, Dunaway, go. How about, I did what Scott said, and I went to Hotels. com yeah just looked up Vegas and the one that popped in my face and was like hey how about

the caesar's palace i probably could have guessed that one i probably could have pulled that one out of my black damn it did caesar live here yep show me caesar's palace number four nice you uh scott and oz is five and you're you're you're on your way all right all right keep going like real places hotel dot hotels dot com suggest to you well i I'm looking right now, and I'm trying to see which one is the cheapest. So I'm thinking the Venetian looks pretty cheap. So I'm going to go next. Everybody stays at the Venetian resort in Las Vegas right there on the strip.

All right. Not cheap at all, yeah. Show me the Venetian. Really, 167 a night? I mean, not bad right now, but they have fluctuating prices. Those same rooms at the Venetian when they had the F1 there were like $4,000. or some ridiculous amount of money. Well, the Luxor wants 4702.

That's amazing. If you would have told me those two prices and those two hotels, I would have absolutely flip-flopped them. Same. Venetian, I would have said, oh, yeah, that's going to be your 400 night, and Luxor is 100, whatever. You never can tell what this stuff. They flop around.

It's so weird. It's like, yeah, like, you know, they'll have like just a time when they're not selling any rooms. It's like, uh, drop them. Bargain basement, these rooms, man. Now, I got to think, since this is the tadpool and a bunch of them go to Vegas and we all stay at the fricking plaza. The plaza is on here.

So let's do the plaza. Oh, the plaza, nice. I mean, I would think so, right? All right. Show me our home for TMS Vegas, the plaza. Yeah. Yeah, number six on the list. Good points, too.

Good job. You know, not as high as I would have liked it to be for our TMSVs. But good points, taking you guys up to 11. Scott Nause with 11 points. Iconic to us and then a bunch of old I don't know what would they call the snack pack

or what were they what was like Franks and Atra the rat pack I love the snack pack I couldn't think of rat pack anyway

Timothy Chalbys kids Timothy Chalbate is in his oh that's a great idea except they all look like rats though so it would be better

Lajeo and just watch the fountains. Yeah, it's real nice. They stayed there once in the tower, and I clocked it with my iPhone. It's a half-mile walk between my hotel room and the Starbucks. Damn. Wow. I think that's the furthest anyone can, has to go between where they are and a Starbucks. It might be, yes.

That's wild, man. You clearly weren't realizing that there was another Starbucks, just one, one elevator stop. In your bathroom. right next to the ice machine at the end of the hallway that's great all right show me the belagio oh there's your number one okay wonder where number one was it seemed crazy that we hadn't hit it yet that's nuts right right uh how about um how about the paris with the big old difel tower and the whatnot there the paris yeah wasn't that in con air uh they're all in con air yeah that's true yeah yeah i mean but it featured you you saw it a little longer than the rest i think you're

right yeah it's weird where the plane where the plane eventually crashed down but uh it's weird because brian it's all know about this that's all know about the strip is con air that's my that's my well we always talk about how they when they film vegas they always the editing is always so weird because it's like it's always out of order yeah here we are in front of the flamingo blink your eyes and we're in front of the wind it's like what are you doing where are you on keep saying keep nick he maiman oh yeah that's shit if some someone puts flamingo on here. I'm going to vomit. That place is gross. It's gross. All right. Show me Paris.

Ah, shit. Surprisingly, yeah. Paris was number 26, way down on the list, surprisingly. That's shocking. I kind of want the flamingo to be on there now so it can make Scott bleed. I mean, it is a famous old name. It's just such a shit until now. You will vomit. You say that. He promised. I'll break my streak. You guys ready for my streak on air? This is the best place to break that streak is TMS live, right? 100%. Yes, exactly. Put my headphones down, grab that garbage can, and let a rip.

So let's, why don't you go ahead and choose this one? If it happens, let's see if I puke. Let's go with it. Roll it up. Give me the flamingo, big giant pink flamingo. Show me the flimingo. Sorry, I can't break the streak on that. That puts me ahead, Sky.

Look at that. You curse yourself. I really did. Ryan to Scott and Oz's 12. Where else are you going to see Donnie Marie, although they're not there anymore. But they were. Not there anymore.

That's right. I'm going to go. I remember if there is any good draws for the Flamingo these days. I think there's supposed to be some new, it might be Vanderpump restaurant that people are raving about. I just can't bring myself to eat at a place that's sponsored by a real housewife. Oh, is that the, that's what that is. Yeah.

I think that's what that is. She's a real housewife, Vanderpump. Yeah, as real as they get. Right. Was she one of the ladies yelling at the cat in the meme? Or is that a different? No, she was not. That was Kyle Richards, and I can't remember who the other person was.

All right. Okay. Yeah. I want that cat. Screw those ladies. I want the cat. It's Paris, by the way. The new Vanderpump restaurant is at Paris.

Oh, well, that might be all right then. I like the Paris. It's nice in there. There is a hotel. One of the hotels is becoming a Vanderpump hotel. And I can't remember which one. Oh, my God. Yeah.

Well. Man, you want to know why I don't want to go to Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Wayne Newton, I think, is still at the Flamingo. Isn't that still? Really? I thought he had a residency there.

Wayne Newton's still alive? I thought he did. Yeah, Wayne Newton's still around. His face is younger than the rest of him, but he's around. Oh, my God. The Cromwell is turning in. into the Vanderpump Hotel. Wow. Okay. I'm going to take Cromwell for, um, for no points. I'll take the Cromwell. All right. Uh, done away, it's on you still.

It's right. What have you got? Hey, I'm going to, I, just because it looks, it's a cool name. And if I was going to Vegas, I would have to stop by the Excalaba. Oh, sure. Sure. Sort out of that stone. Yeah, yeah. $452 right now, by the way, fully refundable. I'm going to go ahead and get it. And they get it refunded. Yeah, do that. Yeah, get some... 152 to stay at the Excalibur? Something must be going on right now. It's got to be, right?

Must be, yeah. For somebody who doesn't know anything, I like how this looks. It's got a nice big castle in the middle or something. What's going on? And it's like... A round table and have jowling. Yeah.

The only hotel with something called the fun dungeon in the basement. Yeah. Show me the Excalibur. Look at that. Number eight. You know, boy. To get up to 21 points. Damn it.

I love that cartoon you should you just showed Scott of Wayne Newton yeah the AI generated image of a Wayne Newton yeah this is Pixar produced Wayne Newton face and um I've never seen less realistic teeth in my life there's just no compare wow those things look at those things look at those things yeah he's um like I said he's old his face is younger than he is that's the truth a man like a mouthful of Legos he's got right there. All right. Cheers to me. Those are beautiful.

Three answers left on the board. I don't like how he went from. He doesn't know shit about Vegas to he might win this. Well, you did give him a couple answers. He gave me a really good one. I like that. All right. So I'm going to go.

I'm going to go just because I want it to be there. I just feel like this is the cheapest. I feel like this would be the worst place to go if I was in Vegas. I'm going to go to the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Okay. Oh, all right. Oh, Planet Hollywood's really nice. is it really nice it just seems like it seems like we're going to open up some planet of

hollywoods and one in Vegas well because back in the day it was what schwarzenegger uh yeah yeah bruce willis forstenegger and delone i think is that right it's delone yeah i think they it was their whole project and then they sold it all out to somebody i don't know how well and that place used to be the aladdin and and uh they just basically refurbished it slapped a new name on it and each room has a different memorabilia like you're uh it's a different movie theme in each room. I stayed in the Titanic room and there was like a coffee table with a glass top that had a

life jacket used in the movie. Did you have to sleep? Did you have to sleep on the floor next to Tina on the bed? I slept on the door. Yeah, you slept on the floor and she slept on the door? She slept on the door. Do you guys remember? Just a fun little trivia question because I want to

throw Brian off a little bit. Brian done away off a little bit. Who remembers the name of the fake casino in the film the 1995 Scorsese? film Casino. I was curious about this. Is that cowboy thing that used to be in all the movies?

Is that a real Vegas place at one point in time? Did you just ignore my question, Brian Dunaway? Well, that's what I'm asking. Are you referring to that in the movie? No, it's a fake. It's a fake casino.

Yeah, that thing you're talking about is real. The fake casino in casino has a name. Does anyone remember the name without looking at that? I've never seen casino, so I was assuming it might be that. The answer is the Tangiers. handjakers. Do you remember the one from Oceans 13 that Robert De Niro

or that Al Pacino was ahead of? Oh shit. A banks. Very good. Oh, good job. Yeah, I forgot that. I love fake casinos and movies. I love it. What's the one that Laura Flynn Boyle got blown off the top of by a gust of in the James Conn TV show, Las Vegas?

I don't know the name. I don't remember. I can't remember that one either. Yeah. It was a fun show. It was all right for network TV. The only thing I ever saw was the clips they showed on the soup, including Laura Flynn Boyle getting blown off the top by a just of wind. I mean, it was a lot like any of these, like a British crime show in a small British town. You're like, my gosh, there are 400,000 murders per night in that town

because of the show has always got a murder to deal with. It's like that. That casino had every possible thing go wrong, go right, guest star. Montecito. That was it, the Monticito. Good job, 1980s wiki. The Montecito. The Montecito.

But you wanted the planet Hollywood hotel and casino, Brian. And that's what you said. Oh, yes. Show me the pee-ho. No pee-hole. No pee-hole for you. Sorry.

You got to pee somewhere else. All right. Well, Oz, it's back to you and I. We got to freaking clear this, or at least get number 10. That's right. Exactly. Two more, three more. No, yeah, three more answers.

on the board. Five, seven, and ten. You guys need at least 11 points to make a stand, to get Oz some prizes, or clear the board, one of the two. So the classic circus circus. Yeah, see, that was my, I may have mine too. I'm thinking everyone hates it, but also it's really memorable. And we're not naming people's favorites here. Right. The question does not say name a good Las Vegas Casino Hotel. if it said name bad ones top of the list so i feel pretty i feel confident with that oz let's do it let's go with circus circus show me everybody's favorite uh hotel right next there to the slots of fun it's circus circus yeah nice okay that gets us closer i was hoping that was 10 i know um what's last time i was there

i went to the rio to see pen and teller oh rio's good yeah rio's good although i keep hearing the Rio's in trouble. Is that true? I wonder if they're in trouble. They're coming back, I heard. Are they? Okay. There was some, I don't know, some lady who's like a big influencer that just tells you everything going on in Vegas and she was always barking about how it was like falling apart and they had to close half of it and a bunch of people got fired and there was some corruption. But anyway, whatever all that is, let's do the Rio. Non-director, non-director Robert Rodriguez, who sat across from me at the table

Monday night said that they're just wrapped up a $2 million dollar refurbishment or remodel of their rooms. So. Oh, all right. And the Rio has the best well, KT. Data might argue with me. And after going to the place that KT. Data took me to,

one of the best dim sum restaurants in Vegas is KJ's in the Rio. It's excellent. Yeah. I like that. I always like the Rio. I never had an issue with it. We saw that the Star Trek convention there. That was fun. We had the podcast thing there. That was good. It's not bad.

it's off strip, so you've got a little bit of a distance from kind of the mayhem of the strip. Yeah. They also, you also are far away from the strip. Yeah. All right. Show me the Rio. Oh! Okay, so we're in a situation here

where Oz wants these prizes. Ryan has two answers on the board that he has to get to clear the board to get this right. So. Even with all the knowledge of Hotels.com, the Vegas strip. I am shaky on the last two.

I'm sure you are. For sure. Yeah, I guess, you know, look at the chat room. Maybe. Maybe. I thought we already did the Mandalay Bay. Did we not already do that one?

Let me see. Mottesella Bay has not been said yet. All right. Feels like the Mandalay Bay would be a good guess. But let me just pick a look through here. Man, These people have a lot of stuff. Is the dunes?

That's a place. Okay. But I do see a lot of people saying the Tangier. That's the made up one from the... That's casino. That's casino, yeah. The movie casino. Yeah, we said circuit, circus, cosmopolitan.

I think we said that Hilton for the stay, absolutely the gutter. Cosmopolitan has not been in a state yet. We've got Cosmopolitan then. Give me some Cosmo. Okay. Only helping you out because I want this. Show me the Cosmopolitan. That's number 11.

That's a number 11. Free guess. Does nothing, nothing else except just give you another guess. There you go. There you go. I love it. I keep seeing wind pop up everywhere, but it just seems so boring. Let's see.

MGM Conrad is Sarah. That's a pretty good one. Even I know that one. Oh, do you now? I think. Sure. The logo looks familiar. Yeah.

All right. I will go with, see, Hard Rock. Oh, my God. Super 8. Sarcasm. Love it. Hotel 6. Yeah.

Motel 6th. There is a Super 8, I think, on the crappy end of the, there's something on the road there. It's off straight. It's like, I think the Super 8 is part of Ellis Island or next door to Ellis Island. Yeah, something like that. Did we say the Cromwell? That sounds familiar, too. We did not say the Cromwell.

Well, give me the Cromwell. The Vanderpump Hotel. All right. Cromwell, it is. Give me the Cromwell. Let's get out of here. Show me the Cromwell. Yeah. It's a good, you know, sorry, as anything else. Yeah.

What's funny is the last two are hotels that are in the process of getting demolished or have already been demolished. Let's see. Number seven. The Mirage. The Mirage. Geez, I could have pulled that one out of my ass. It's where, you know, where Sigfrid and Roy used to be and is now going to be a hard rock hotel with a guitar with laser light strings.

And making some, making way for the brand new baseball stadium that's getting added to the Las Vegas strip. Number 10. The Tropicanana. These are things I could actually guess because this is like old Vegas. I'm just surprised they put Tropicanan in there because it is literally. literally torn down right now. There's nothing there. You know, if nothing else, it's a memorable name. It's just not a memorable hotel.

Yeah, yeah. They blew it up. Yeah, just down the list here. I mean, it's not going to be any surprise. The wind was number 12, Mandalay Bay, the Golden Nugget, the Sands, number 16. Rio, you guys talked about Aria, Hard Rock, Treasure Island, Ellis Island,

Gold Coast, Samstown, The Grand, the Palms. grand somebody said atomic wrangler here at this point we get to like one one person for each of these yeah four queens haras well these are real uh park mgm poseidens sahara sphere not a hotel casino uh star dust uh anybody say palms sphere we get palms yeah so one person said or palms got two um it's old school one yeah uh let's see the orleans the link the blingety bling and the uh Westgate. Stop right there.

I'm glad all of you remembered that the Trump is, the Trump Hotel is just a hotel, not a Trump hotel and casino. They wouldn't let him. Oh, there you go, really? Yeah, you can't gamble in there. You can only stay in there. That was their whole thing. Yeah, there's a whole... I think you're gambling just by staying there.

I think you are too. I think I'm gambling just saying his name out loud. Anyway, hey, well done, everybody. I feel kind of bad because I had the list of the strip hotels. I kind of feel bad from taking this from Oz. well golden nugget if you feel bad you can just give them some of your games I don't feel that bad

but I tell you what I don't feel bad about is stomping Scott and making him puke well I'll let you know how that goes right now I can't even bring myself to gag I thought I could at least do that but nope today's street holds about the Trump Hotel if you want yeah that'd be great that'll make me puke well odds we'll have to try this again sometime

your first time isn't always your last time how do you feel about your your experience here today it was fun don't have to play chess the old-fashioned way oh there you go well good luck and may all your queens go diagonally whatever that means hey done away

guess what this weekend we're doing some play retro and I cannot wait tell the fine folks at home what we're doing oh we're covering that early 3D platformer that is crock rock one and two and the game boy color games which I never played until this week

one's a side scrolling platformer the other is a Zelda like but anyway I didn't realize how much nostalgia I had for this game. Played the crap out of it on the PlayStation. It was my first 3D platformer. That's right. I did not have an N64.

And it just all come flooding back. Nostalgia can be a big factor. Yeah, can. Didn't we get a, we got a, am I wrong about this? There's a Crock reboot remaster coming or something? No, there's a, yeah, right. Was it Argonaut? Is that right?

Why does that seem wrong? Anyway, they, they, they, They closed their doors back, I think, in 2007, and they reopened to release this remaster, which will be coming to all consoles and systems. Going to be a prettier and a little more controllable crocodile with a backpack. Yeah, I'm actually excited. What do you think he keeps in that backpack? Other crock body parts.

I have no idea. I don't know what he's doing. Yeah, he's a crocodile. You can't guess what they do. Well, well done. That'll be great. That's 1.30 Mountain Time on Friday. That's tomorrow.

No, that's two days from now. I don't know why I said it was a jackbox thing you said what was that I got to remember the name you know what let me pull it up I'm going to give you the name I think it's like I only the only thing I saw was like survey something something let me tell us one of the games in it survey scramble I think is one of the games in the set yes that is correct um the other names are escaping me let me pull up the actual collection though and I say collection it's just really a standalone thing that has like these six seven eight games in it okay here we go steams launching let me just give you the name

Because it's really good, and you're right, that we should tell people what this is. Okay, here we go. Jackbox. Oh, the whole thing's called Jackbox survey scramble. That is right. That's the whole name. I thought it was like you, Brian. I thought it was just the name of that one.

Yeah, that's a two. But it is, let's see. It's on sale for $2.99 right now. Oh, no way. Wow, really? Bargain. Damn it. I paid a full 10.

I could have had 10 copies of that thing. podcast. Anyway, well, that's great. And thanks for the notice about the sale. Go check it out now. And we'll see you guys on Friday, including you done away. And one more thing for you would be Kiss our Bats. Okay.

Oh, got him. He's out of here. All right. Time for break. When we come back from said break, it'll be time for recommendals. Us, Randy, Nicole. Tom's in Japan. We'll not be here for a couple of weeks, but we will have the fine folks of our recommendal crew with us.

So stick around. after this song, Brian will tell us about. Sure. This is a brand new rising star, a guy named Evan Honer, H-O-N-E-R. He's on tour right now playing packed rooms across his 2025 North American headline tour. This is his brand-new single that he's sharing via his own label, Cloverdale Records. If you're a fan of like the Noah Khan or Ed Shearhan, I think you're really going to like this. This is a song called Place I Hate.

Here is Evan Honer. I kind of miss my high school friends I kind of miss the Arizona heat Well I miss my dog His name is Bruno Turns out this ain't all it's cracked up to be Oh everywhere but home.

And I've been everything except myself. But look at me all on my own. I feel the same is just harder to tell. like I'm doing just fine but the truth is getting used to getting drunk all the time and I've been carrying weight past few days somehow it got heavier somehow it got heavier I'm out of place I hate I hate With everything to lose while my whole mind at stake,

I'm tracing back my steps so I get closer to Where the hell lost myself? Another weekend out of my hands Another miss call from my brother And bloody feet from how far I've ran color in my face. I'm getting good, making it look like I'm doing just fine. But the truth is getting used to getting drunk all the time.

And I've been carrying weight past few days. Somehow it got heavier. Well, somehow it got heavier Well, I'm at a place I hate With everything to lose while my whole mind's at stake I'm tracing back my steps so I get closer to Where the hell I lost myself Oh, where the hell?

Oh, we're the hell lost my soul. Oh, where the hell lost myself? There's three times in a man's life when he has a right to yell at the moon. When he marries, when his children come, and when he finishes a job, he had to be crazy to start. Is this the dude? And we're back. Who was that again? Sure. That is Evan Honer, brand new rising star. Actually, not brand new, but he's, he's in, his star is on the rise. A brand new song from him called Place I Hate. Nice. That would be like, uh, the flamingo for me.

That would be like circus, circus. Yeah. I don't know. Someone told me the flamingo. is better now. The rooms have been up to or better bettered or refo. That I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if there's, I mean, I think we might we might be going to the flamingo

for a dinner, but I don't no, we're going to the Peeho for a dinner. Oh, okay. So we won't get to see the guts of the place. It did used to be though. Like back in the back in the day it felt like that was the place everybody would gather is at the flamingo because it's kind of central at the time. Right. And

the rooms were cheaper than everything else next to it or around it, so you'd always go there. Yeah, it was a good proximity location to, like, say, well, I only need to use the room to sleep, but I want to be in the middle of all of the casinos that I want to spend my time at. All right. It was perfect for that because you could, like you said, get in there for cheap. Yeah, I liked it. Sounds like not right now, though.

What did he say? It was like 400 something? Yeah. That's insane. Something's going on. It's insane, especially that the Venetian was 100-something and Excalibur was also 400-something. I'll bet you. I'll bet you money some event. Something's happening and everything always goes up and that happens. It must be. It's got to be. That's why we pick the days we do because they're always not crazy.

All right. Let's get to this right here, right here. Well, what do you recommend? Yes, the sounds and songs of our people where we talk about movies, streaming television programs and other things that show up on streaming services that we think you at home might enjoy as well. We have on the program with us today, Nicole Spagnolo. Hello. Is it working? It sure is. It is working.

You're done with your phone call. Good timing. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you had a call. I'm glad we didn't mess you up there. You good? Nope. Perfect timing.

Excellent. Look what we've done here. We've done good work. I'm trying to get the kids. The kids want to go to the indoor pool. It's spring break. And we're not going anywhere this week. So Mark's taking them to an indoor pool.

door pool. That sounds like fun. It's a great place to get a weird little infection. So enjoy it. Have fun. Yeah, yeah. Nothing like a good, what is it, athlete's foot? Yeah, you can get that. And if you're lucky. It'll only happen to your feet. But, you know, you never know, get into your lungs. Coring. Fixes everything. Yeah. Nothing like it. Nothing like a good urinary tract infection. Can't wait. Speaking of a urinary tract infections, also Randy Jordan's here. Hi, Randy. How are you doing? Good morning, morning. I cannot overstate how much I used to love staying at the Barbary Coast right next to the Flamingo back when it was a thing. Man, like the only reason for the Flamingo is to go walk all the way through into their garden and see the actual flamingos, right?

And so, yeah, but the Barbary Coast, oh, they had the best restaurant on this trip. Man, I miss that. There's something different now, right? Aren't they, Brian? Well, it's now the Cromwell, and it's about to become Vanderpump Hotel. Oh, that's the one you were talking about. Okay. That just sounds icky.

Yeah. I mean, so this is really someone who's fame propelled them to money, which now propels them to opening casino. Yeah, reality shows, man. I don't like it. But it is still far better than what it was before the Cromwell, which was Bill's Rootin-Tooten casino hotel or something like that.

That's what I was thinking of. It was like a cowboy themed thing that wasn't very good at doing that, if I remember right. So, does the audience know that all four of us are going to be at TMS Vegas? Yeah, I think so. I still can't believe. I know. I'm so excited about that.

I'm kind of like, oh, I'm glad Dr. Jerry is going to be there. Yeah. If you need any emergency doctor help, we know a guy. He'll be there. Honestly, when I saw that he was going to be there, I was like, okay, I definitely can go. You know what? Is there a doctor in the house? Yes, there is.

There is something comforting about that, right? Yeah. Well, he's been with me through my whole thing. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, it's like having your own personal doctor there. And I think is his wife coming. I can't remember. His wife is coming, yeah.

But it's just going to be me. The reason I'm saying that is she is a pharmacist, so she knows all about the biotech side of things. So no matter what happens. we are covered so just i need to not like uh dump my medical anything on anyone so if i start talking medical stop me just stop me all right and just say what movie are you watching all right you got it you got us yeah we'll just say tell us about your epilepsy that's fantastic i love this idea uh hey brian let's start with you we always do and uh you got a clip here and i you know I haven't heard it, so you're going to have to explain what we're going to play.

Excellent. Well, I'll tell you right now, this is not a time travel movie, but it is a movie. It's just not about time travel, though you might think it is listening to this clip. All right, here we go. You guys decide, are we going to take a boat here, or anybody else have any ideas? Oh, hold on. New Man. Yes, sir.

Yeah, I don't mean to step on anybody toes in here, none, or disrespect the group. But do all the plays have to be so serious? Yo, what do you mean by serious, though? I mean, like, every day we're dealing with trauma, drama. Every day we got tragedy. I mean, I think population just might appreciate a comedy. How about a cowboy comedy? I always wanted to do a western, like blazing saddles or something.

Egyptians? Egyptians? Comedies? We can sneak some Shakespeare in there. Hamlet. Hamlet in the comedy. Hamlet and the comedy. Do something in the forest, robin hood or something like that?

Be the bad hands. Yeah. I'm on chasing. Nightmare on Elstreet. Can I ask the question? Can someone name a comedy that contains all that bullshit that you just named? We could do time travel. Well, now that is true.

I mean, with time travel, we could put all the things into that you guys are mentioning and have a ton of roles, get more people up. on stage and maybe even have a message in there or not, I don't know. What do you think about that, G? Can't wait to see this. What is this? So good.

This is a movie called Sing Sing. And it takes place in the prison, Sing Sing. And it's based on the real life rehabilitation through the arts program that they have at Sing Sing where the cons play parts and come up with their own plays, either from

adapting existing stuff or writing their own stuff. And a lot of the people that you see in this film are formerly incarcerated men who were members of the program. They were members of the rehabilitation through the arts program. So they're getting to act in a story based on where they learned how to act or where they honed their acting skills in Sing Sing in the prison. The big guy in this thing is Coleman Domingo who can do no wrong. He's one of these guys that once you hear his voice, you instantly know who it is.

You heard a little bit in that clip, but he plays Divine G, who is a writer in the prison, a con in the prison, who writes, plays. And kind of is the, not necessarily the leader of the rehabilitation through the arts program, but he's been doing it long enough that they always do his plays. They rely on him for co-direction and things like that.

And he was the one who got the nomination for Best Actor. Yeah, at the recent. Do you think in the aftermath of all that, now that you've seen this, do you think that he should have won? Or do you move up the list? No, I still really liked Shep. Alamaze Bob Dylan the most.

Yeah, but is this better than who won, though, is what I'm saying. Yeah, and I'm trying to remember who did. Who was it the one? It was a broken nose. Broken nose, Billy. Adrian Brody was one hour long speech. Yeah, yeah. Right, exactly.

And once again. Yeah. But not as good as either of these two, really. Yeah. And once again, if the categories made any sense, the best supporting actor would have been in best actor. So it doesn't, I don't know. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, this was also. nominated for original song and for Best Adapted Screenplay. Unfortunately, it didn't win any of those there, but it has won a bunch of other awards across

the award circuit this last year, including like Gotham Awards and Palm Door and stuff like that. So, I mean, it's gotten some attention. Well-deserved attention. It just dropped on Friday or Saturday on HBO Max or Max. I don't know what I'm saying, HBO Max. But...

We will. We all. We all. all want to keep saying that HBO we do we do exactly uh dropped on max last weekend and soon as it did team and i made a made a date a plan to watch it that night and it is it is really really good the the filming is really interesting it's got a um a weird um orientation not 16 9 but something uh what is it does do i have oh it's got a different ratio then Yeah, it's shot in 16 millimeter. It's 166 to 1, which is right there. Yeah, which is a weird, a weird zoomed in thing you have to do.

You like use 16 millimeter and then zoom in. Yeah. And so the cameras are far away in most of the shots. The feeling you get is that you're sort of like sneaking in from a distance on every shot. And it feels like a documentary. Just the way it's shot, it doesn't feel like you're watching a, a fictional story based on a real thing. You feel like you're watching a documentary.

And it's only the fact that, you know, there's this guy, a couple people you recognize actors and this thing that are like, okay, well, it's Coleman Domingo, so I know it's not a documentary, but everything else about it feels like a documentary the way it's shot.

This director has the most Brad hair I've ever seen. Look at this guy. Greg Tudoir, Quadar, Quadar. Quedar, yeah. I love that hair. I wish I could grow that hair. Damn. Anyway, Coleman Domingo is on such a tear right now, and by right now, I mean, for the last, like, 13 years, he's just been everywhere.

And, like, if we watch the electric state for Film Sack next week, we're going to see Coleman Domingo again. Like, he's just, like, yeah, I just, I love his choices as an actor. Yeah, first time I remember seeing him was in the Fear of the Walking Dead spin off and, you know, ate up every scene that he was in. Like he was such a compelling performer. But I know he did a ton of stuff before that that I probably saw. I guess he was in Stephen Spielberg's Lincoln. He was, did a lot of theater stuff. Chicago.

He reminds me he's like a different generation, although they're not that far apart, but a different generation's Keith David in that he's always a joy to watch, always puts in great performances, but always has this voice that is impossible. You worry about them getting typecast because their voices are so unique that to hear him talk is to hear Coleman Domingo and no one else.

No one else sounds like this guy, right? He has definitely been typecast in animation. He's recently been like Batman and Norman Osborne. I was going to say he was in the brand new Spider-Man thing is Norman Osborne, yeah. Yeah, he's cool. I like him a lot. He's great.

He's great. He's great in this. Sing Sing just dropped on Max. Go watch it. It's really, really good. A brief role in Euphoria, but he's great in it. Very good in there. All right. Well, there

you go. Let's move on down the road to Nicole Spagnolo with her choice for today's Recommmental. What do you got? You guys watch a lot more stuff than I do right now. Sure. You know a lot more people that I do, the actors, directors, I'm like, I don't know that name.

No, but we sure enjoy when you try to name them. Yeah, I want you to say Coleman Domingo next time we get here. I mean, I know I can't be the only one that when I listen to you guys, like, really get very philosophical about these people. And I'm like, I don't know who they're talking about. I'm sure there are others like that. It's right. Yeah.

Look up when we're done. hear look up like go to youtube and find a video of uh coleman domingo and i won't i won't bathe in his voice like you you'll listen to his voice it's like a smr it's like sunlight it's probably yeah and that's the other thing like i probably know who he is by either face or voice and and then once i'm like oh oh that's who that is yeah and then you can call him you can call him colburn de mondo or some other name like that i don't i don't bank a lot of information in my brain anymore because you know memory sure of course memory not good no we get it memory not good memory no good no colman domingo today i i i even expressed in um the tms vegas discord the anxiety that i'm

having about going and not remembering people's names and not remembering like like it's it's it's it's an anxiety that I have so it helps I'm with you there and I go every year and I know there's going to be a lot of people whose names I don't get right or forget so so I don't ever worry about that I know but I I want people to know that you know it yeah name tabs are great I love But even then, I'll go, we'll have them. Have we met? Have we met? I'm so sorry.

No, it'll be great. We do the same thing every year, though. That's the problem. Brian and I, who are supposed to know everybody, hardly know any names. So it'll all work out in the end. All right. Well, let's get to your clip. What did you end up watching that you want to share?

All right. So we'll just start off with I try to watch something new. I don't know what it is. I've been waking up at like 4 a.m. 5 a.m. So I just had my 5th IVIG infusion with my new nurse.

It's my second time with him. He is a giant nerd, and I absolutely love it. He has a star, like, I could tell because he had a Star Wars tattoo. I was like, oh, I think I, I think, I think you're a nerd. And so he,

he's a, he's a Dungeons and Dragons DM. we got all into it. And so we start watching Chitzkriek is my go-to feel-good show that I just put on while I'm going through the first phase of my infusion. And then as we're talking, he's like, I've never seen this movie. I said, oh, well, we have to fix that. And that's what we watched. And that's what this clip is. I know I've recommended it before.

I bought it on Amazon. My dog is barking. I'm sorry. Can't even hear it. Oh, good, good, good, good. And I recommended this instead of the other movie that I tried to watch at 4 a.m. And I was wide awake and I started watching the movie and it put me right to sleep. Well, at 4 a.m., you'd think anything should put you to sleep at 4 o'clock in the morning.

I feel like any time of day watching the Bridget Jones movie would put you to sleep. And that's what I was like, oh, I'm going to, because back in the day, I loved Bridget Jones. Like, I just loved those two movies. And so when I saw that they came out with a third one, is it like Bridget Jones has a baby? What's it called? What's actually called? There's Bridget Jones mad about the boy, which is the brand new one. But then there's also Bridget Jones.

um goes to jail Bridget Jones's baby I think is just what it's called Bridget Jones scared scared silly scared crazy there's four yeah there's a brand new one that just came out last year

or this year even so the one and it has Bridget Jones saves Christmas McDreamy McDreamy's in it he's been in all of them he's been in all of interest

yeah he's always in there no he's new in this one is he's new in this one no it was always it was always Hugh Grant yeah and Mr. Darcy that's right Colin Firth.

Colin Firth. And now it's Coleman Gomingo. Now it's Coleman Mingo. I just, you know what? Just apply all the earnest goes crazy names. Put those at the end. Thank you, Stephanie. Patrick Dempsey, that's it.

Yes. And he's brand new to the movies. Anyway, I'm not recommending. She was in the third one and the, oh no, he gets just the third one. Just Bridget Jones's baby. He did not show up in. He does not in the brand new one. I swear to God, there's only two.

I thought there was only two. two and then this was there's four wow I missed last month last month is mad about the boy don't worry I don't think you're missing anything by all right yeah so which one did I watch you watched if it had McDreamy it was Bridget Jones's baby okay it's terrible um yeah so I'm recommending uh what I'm recommending again and and yeah we'll talk about it it's it's it's Yeah. All right, here's your clip. Check it out.

What do you want? What do you want more than anything in the world? You want the big blue ribbon? Uh-huh, that's what you want. You want red? No, you don't want red. You want yellow? No, you don't want yellow.

You want to go home with the blue. What do you see in front of me? What do you see in front of me? What do you see a big blue ribbon? It's right here in front of you want it. You grab it. She's not listening to you. She's not listening to you.

Well, get the busy bee. You want your busy bee. You get your busy bee. You get the busy bee. I need to trim a whiskers. It's in the crate It's in the crate I didn't have it out to begin

Where in the crate? It's not in here It's not in here It should be in the crate My favorite lines From this movie because You could clip any minute From this movie

Any minute You know it was It is a nut, walnut pistachio nut That is the most stressful couple like i just get stressed listening to them in that clip oh my god they're so good at it but this is a thing great payoff of parker posy and michael hitchcock being so happy at the end sure sort of yeah oh my god they're still freaky as hell but that's like that's a line we use in the

house if we can't find something and then when nobody knows someone will just go it's in the crate we'll just yell it so funny okay so the movie is called best in show uh is it michael guest Christopher Guest. It's all right. It's all right. His best friends call him Mike. It's fine. But here, so I bought it.

I bought it on Amazon just because my nurse had never seen it. And I, as we're watching Schitts Creek, and he's loving Moira and, um. Eugene Levy. Eugene Levy. And that, I was like, oh my God. Have you seen? best in show. He's like, oh, no, no, no. I was like, okay, that's what we're doing. I mean, because I'm sitting there for 12 hours with this guy. Wow. And so I basically give him

all of my recommendals. I said, look, I do this podcast. And I have a lot of recommendals. So, we're going to go through some of them. And that's what that's what we did. I introduced in a Best in Show. He laughed so hard and it was just, it's just a fun. I didn't really like it as much, or so best in show to me is like what I love about Christopher Guess. Yeah. I wasn't that big of a fan of waiting for Guffman.

Yeah, that's the one I, like, I'm currently introducing my kid to his movies and that's the one I skipped. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Guffman's all right. Guffman's all right. For your consideration and mascots.

Like I feel like for me it goes best in show, a mighty wind, waiting for Guffman and then the other two down quite further away. I'm jumping around too, but spinal tap has to be in there. I guess, yeah, I didn't even think about it. He didn't direct that, though. If he directed it, it would be right in a second one? They are. Yeah.

That's coming up this year. Oh, my gosh. Are they having Meathead do the directing? again? What's his name? Oh, I don't know. Because he directed the first one. From all of the fact, I can't think of his name, all in the family. Carl Reiner. Rob Reiner. Not Carl. Yeah, he, if he's directed by Reiner, the new one is. Oh, that's great. Oh, my good. Yeah. That gives me so much more hope. Yeah. Carl Reiner

died. I shouldn't rest his soul. Friend Drescher is coming back for it. Oh, my gosh. John Michael Higgins, who you just saw Best in show. Paul Schaefer coming back, maybe. Paul Schaefer, Artie Fuff. is back. I'm so excited. And guest appearances by Paul McCartney, Elton John, Garth Brooks, Questlove,

Tricia Yearwood, Chad Smith, and Lars Ulrich. I'm all in. I'm all in. Bring it on. Fantastic. Yeah. Quest love.

That's great. Yeah. That's great. You know, this movie rules. I love this movie. I love it. Yeah.

It's just the best. And it's not streaming anywhere where you have to buy it. I bought it. I have so many credits from Amazon for like taking the Amazon day. They give me digital credits for that. So that's how I buy my movies now.

I just, you know, but I know I offended a few people in the chat about talking smack about Bridget Jones. And I, I do apologize for that. I was a big, I'm, you know, I'm a, I read the books and. You're a mega fan. I read the first one. But that was like, how many years? 20? I just don't think you can watch.

anything at 4 a.m. and not fall asleep. That's what I think. No. With my condition, it's weird. It's like I have an adrenaline thing going on with the IVIG. And so when I wake up, I'm like wide awake. And I'm like, is this what normal people? Like, just wake up. Well, this is good, though, because if you're up at 4 and you're like, dang it, I need to sleep, just put on another Bridget Jones diary movie and you'll fall asleep because this is putting you to sleep. It's perfect. There you go. It's a, yeah.

It's Tomics. Yeah. I just, it's just. Richard Jones is sleeping. I love it. So I just wanted to apologize to those that really love

Bridget Jones. That was one person. I too. I too used to be, I just don't like her. I didn't like that movie. I just, it felt very trite. It felt very.

I guess they're all kind of trite. but I don't know I'm just I'm just getting old I guess I'm sorry I insulted that one Bridget Jones movie here let me apologize by insulting all of them they're all trite every damn one of them by the way best in show

best show is streaming on canopy I have never used canopy but more often than not I'm seeing canopy as an option for stuff but eventually you know they're going to take that away. So use it while you can't. I don't even know what canopy is. Oh, it's the library thing.

It's the library. Oh, gotcha. Okay. Save our libraries. That's right. Save your libraries. Good luck, though, because, yeah, for some reason, we want to kill them. So about a month ago, I'm watching Bestin Show with my kid and we're talking about Vancouver a lot because it's filmed all over Vancouver and Port Moody and so on.

And I keep asking him, every time a new character comes on, keep asking him if he recognizes them because they're all people he's seen and other things they're just way younger in this movie right and he doesn't get it he doesn't know he doesn't know and he there was one one person in this whole movie that will was like i know exactly who that is and it was will does the discover card commercials no it was will sasso oh and like he has one line in the movie at the fishing shack but we had also just been watching uh Georgian Mandy's first marriage and Will Sassau is the father-in-law

and like he hasn't changed I guess in 35 years he looks exactly the same he's always been kind of bald you know kind of bald or full balled no 25 years like in the movie I think he has like some side but he's balled on top

got you I let me tell you something I'm feeling the wind more right up here than ever in my life right here yeah yeah yeah i'm getting uh it's a nice little pate going on little pate back there one of us what is what is what is paint it's like uh your your bald pate it's like your um your visible head i guess i don't know how you define the top of your head it's the top of your head is the how it called is your paint your paint is the top i didn't know that i always thought it was like because sometimes you hear somebody say ah they're bald pate and i thought it just meant like

they're they're bald and that's oh is that's what i never knew that's what that was called. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm no expert in this field. Also, you know, a spread made from goose liver and, oh, no, that's patte. Oh, yeah. Patte, peat, peat, peat, penet, peen. Interesting. Hey, well, if you ever, if you, if you ever want to do a hair transplant, I'll give you some of my hair. Okay. You got good hair. I'll take it. Let's do this in Vegas. Yeah. That's a great idea. This is awesome. Let's go. Sitting, sitting for 12 hours for something. You can, you can have some hair removed and transplanted over to Scott. Why not? Take some line. I got bloody. Hey, uh, Randy, give us your, uh,

give us your, uh, package this week. What do you got for us? Same thing I say every week, Pinky, uh, we're, we're watching things that are uplifting and, and fun and, uh, trying to ignore the news. So this is a new thing. It's a, it's a new reality show. It's a new reality show. Okay, fair enough. Here you go. Ben thinks he's about to compete in a new reality show, but what Ben doesn't know is that the show he's about to participate in is completely fake. Camera's ready, camera's down good. This fake reality show has been completely scripted by a team of writers. I want them to have fun. I want them to laugh.

Every storyline written. You got spliced. kidding me every competition fixed and rehearsed this is good practice and every elimination planned out in advance ben is clueless that he's about to be surrounded entirely by actors all playing the roles of over-the-top reality tv contestants that music makes me want to set fire to something I don't know why. I kind of, yeah, yeah. Tell me why.

I made a new season of the Joe Shmo show. Yeah. And like a good 10 years after the third one. And also, you know, it's a couple years now after jury duty. They actually held this show when jury duty came out. They were about to put this show out. And they were like, no, that's too on the nose here. It really, it's kind of shocking how much it has in common.

with jury duty. But the people who put together this season of the Josh Mo Show went to such great lengths to make it stand out, to make it have differences and things that you would never expect. And of course, the whole thing comes down to the guy that they cast as the unsuspecting real person. And he is freaking perfect. He is so cool and so generous and nice. And it's just awesome how they found this guy and he doesn't like they have a you know one

one pseudo celebrity in here which is the Lipnicki kid from Jerry McGuire who's not kid anymore oh my gosh we got a lot of what's our name references today Bridget Jones Renee Zellweig are showing up at everything

we're talking about anyway yeah the hostess that you just heard is cat Dealey You know, it's really, really important that the main guy, Ben, here, doesn't know who that is. She's a TV presenter from England. And everyone is so freaking all in. They are having the time of their lives. They found the perfect guy to do this with.

And the whole way, it's all leading to them giving him $100,000 and the victory in this fake reality show. And it's just like. And say, it's like, every episode. He'll actually get the money, right? This is like a, this is uplifting kind of like jury duty was, right? Where it's, you know, yeah, okay, good. Yes. And even more like punk this guy at the end and say,

we're like, sorry, later, dude. Even more than jury duty, this show is wholesome. And I just don't know how to, how to explain that. You have to see it to feel the wholesome feelings. There's just something absolutely wonderful about. it the only place you can see is tbs and looks like direct tv has it has it streaming if you subscribe to their streaming service that isn't part of their yeah i i mean it's on i've been watching it on hulu which i just shows tbs shows oh all right they don't have a whatever

reason just watch and real good don't have it listed so that's weird didn't show up for me either on on on hulu so did you guys ever do you ever watch uh homes homes on homes homes on homes Michael. Okay. So he did a contest reality show, and I'm having a hard time remembering the name of it. But it was one of the most feel-good reality competition shows I've ever watched because it had all these teams, like two people in each team. And the whole idea is that they go to these houses and they, are taught how to DIY the house, like redo the house. And then they get judged on who did the worst and who did the best and all that.

Did homes inspection? Is that it? Home free. Home free. Home free. Home free. Oh, my God. This was such a good show.

Because what happens is these people are like, oh, we lost. No, you didn't. You actually get to keep this home. Yeah. That you, that you, and so as, As they go up, you know, as they get kind of knocked down to lower numbers, the houses get better and bigger and more expensive.

Not that that's always a good thing because there's like a whole set of documentaries about, remember the extreme makeover houses, how it ruined so many people and they had to, they lost their homes because their taxes went up because the house was too expensive. Geez. Yeah. So there's like a whole underbelly to like all that stuff too. But this is impossible to find. There's so many home frees that are nothing like this. I can't find the fucking thing. Yeah. Yeah. Home. So it was called home free. Yes. Home free reality show. There are so many other things. It was on Fox. Randy, I did find. Oh, it was on Fox. All of season one of Joe Schmo is on. Oh, season one. So, you know, season one is the standard for what. this what you're supposed to do right you're supposed to find this guy you're supposed to use a bunch of c tier actors and comedians and so forth that the person doesn't know and it also like it was a little bit harsh the first time around right like all throughout it people are saying gosh i can't i don't really like what we're doing to this guy and so after that uh you know everyone who tries to do this sort of one only one person thinks it's real show tries really

really hard to give them good feelings all the time this this season they actually put a confidence meter on the screen at times where so you're seeing you're seeing a display a heads-up display of like how they think he's feeling because they care so much about how he's feeling it's wild to me that that show that's 22 years ago that's first season that's nuts really wow you can't you can't do this all the time right like yeah this guy this guy was like three years old when the first season came out and that's the way to do it is to you cast someone who's quite young and they haven't seen everything on tv yet yeah yeah that's great i didn't know they were doing a new one so there it is the joe schmo show season so season four so season four is on hulu or no can

No, unless you, if you subscribe to TBS or just activate it through Hulu, do you do the Hulu TV, like the TV subscription, Randy? I think so. Oh, if you have that, yeah, that might be how you get that then. Yeah, if you're doing Hulu TV, which is like their version of YouTube TV or any of those others, then you probably, that's probably how you're getting that. Yeah. Home free, that home free reality show, I put a link. It's not, there's two, two, there were two seasons. I didn't really, I only, I thought there was only one season.

Oh, there we go. But, yeah, you got to buy the episodes. Or find a complex way to watch it. There you go. Just so you know, there's some people who really dislike Mike Holmes. Oh, yeah. He's made some enemies. Oh, I'm sure he has.

He's very abrasive. Well, he's got, he's like sandpaper. All right. Hey, moving on. Let's move on down the road to this here recommendation that I got for you. uh this is a movie and it is very different from anything anyone else is recommended today um and it's also one brian almost recommended but because uh we'd both seen it he said you take it and i said all right i will um it's one i've been wanting to see since it was announced i'm very

happy i saw it i have so many thoughts i will only share some but here's my here's my clip if god is real and he watches when we masturbate and he has such a fragile ego that he only helps us when we beg him and shower him with praise and he hates gay people for being what he made them to be well that's terrifying if there's no god and we're just horny microscopic ants floating on a rock through space with no divine purpose and no hope to achieve eternal life well that's terrifying too it sure is uh that right there that was heritage i almost i almost watched this instead of bridget jones uh But I knew it would definitely keep me awake.

Probably good idea. Not to watch that at 4 in the morning. Yeah. If you wanted to stay up at 4, I got a recommendation for you guys. It's Heretic. This is the 2024 horror film directed by Scott Beck and Brian Woods, starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, all of which are fantastic in this. It's the story of these two girls who are Mormon missionaries.

Ironically, both actresses grew up in Mormon families. So they've got some history here. And I think it adds to the authenticity of it. Myself, having grown up in a Mormon family and lived in Utah my entire life, there's a lot of stuff here that is correct in terms of references. There are a couple that are completely dumb and are not correct, which mostly are, they're mostly small things, but it's like who would go look for the girls. It doesn't work that way.

It's the whole other thing. But anyway, it doesn't matter. I was wondering about that. Yeah, I was wondering about. those things in there that you'd have experience with. Yeah, there's little things like that where you're just like, eh, it's fine. It's a movie. You don't have to get everything right.

But they get an astonishing amount of things correct in terms of references and knowledge. And I appreciated that. I don't know if the co-writers or anybody here was, you know, raised in any particular religious way. But you might think, well, this is this whole thing just going after Mormons? No, it's going after religion in general. but also it's a horror movie with a villain and the villain is the is the uh we'll put it this way he is the result of religious confusion uh where there's so many sex in this world and everybody claims to be the correct one and when somebody studies all of that too hard perhaps

they'll have a bit of a break let's put it that way yeah he is fantastic in this Hugh Grant is amazing in it. I already like, I'm a big late stage Hugh Grant fan. I think he's wonderful in his older years. He's a better bad guy than he ever was a good guy. Even when he's playing good guys now, I just like older Hugh Grant. There's something going on there. He's also got this wonderful. Some would call it horrible. I find a charming attitude when people ask him dumb questions on red carpets and things like that. I think I think it's freaking great. and I have no problem with how he responds to people because it is inane and stupid the crap people ask these celebrities. I wish more people would push back, but whatever. He hated Wonka. He hated being in Wonka as the

umpalupa. And his response to the question, he said, I have five kids. Yeah. Yeah. That's why he did it. He's like, I did it for the money. It's a terrible movie.

Yeah. Yeah, he's just got this. I made it my role in this movie. I did. I can't believe I did it, but I did it for the money. I mean, maybe back in the day he had all these things. I think about a boy was, you know, maybe some of that in the way he would play characters or whatever. But now he gets to really shine the stuff he did.

And the gentleman is fantastic, the movie, not the TV show based on the film, the Guy Ritchie movie. Just love him. I loved him in the D&D movies. Stephanie has a good question. Is heretic gory or violent? intermittently maybe I mean Brian you can help me with this I felt like I felt like it wasn't it's not like egregiously gory it's not egregiously gory but there there is some there's a little bit of violence and some gore but not but the movie doesn't but not like saw no no no okay okay so nothing like that this is more of a psychological thriller than anything and impactful but okay yeah in fact I think that's what makes those moments a little bit more hardcore is because they are brief and they are rare And they really punctuate where things are at for these characters.

So it actually is one of the things I like about the movie is it doesn't just do a bunch of cheap thrills. It kind of earns where it ends up. Some people think the ending's a little off the rails. I see what they mean. I liked it, though. I mean, I liked it overall. If I haven't mentioned this yet, I think this is a great, this is an awesome movie. And a huge part of it hinges on the performances of these people.

um sophy thatcher's star is already on the rise but i haven't heard enough about chloe east she's fantastic in this no she's great god what and they they write these two characters to not be just little carbon copies of each other like they could be but very different you know street smarts and kind of where they come from as they're as they're introduced to the hugh grant character yeah really cool yeah and if anything this is like in the long run of your damian style uh the nun you know, movies about religious horror, the exorcist, you know, like this can fit in that shelf, wherever that shelf category is at the library. This movie is probably in that pantheon, but it does it in so many unique ways. It does it in a bunch of modern ways. There's a whole,

there's a whole like chunk of this that's about the origin of the board game monopoly that I did not freaking know. And I thought the movie maybe, I thought it made it up. So I went and looked it up and I was like, holy shit. Don't you remember when I recommended the games that made us on the History Channel? No, I don't remember. Oh, they go through the whole, yeah. Yeah, I missed. I never, I don't think I saw it, but it was crazy.

That to me was crazy. So they go into all that. That's all used metaphorically in the movie. They, they, if you are worried, let's, okay, let me speak to religiously minded people. If you are worried that this movie is going to try to challenge your faith, it will, okay? it's what its job is to do. It's going to make you ask yourself some questions. And probably someone in your local leadership has told you,

oh, don't see this movie. It's designed to wreck your faith. I would argue that that's proof that you probably ought to see it because it does ask some hard questions. Now, it doesn't mean that you're going to come out of there going, oh, everything I thought was a lie, blah, blah. You're not going to, maybe you will, maybe you won't. I want you to kind of just try to get over yourself.

a little bit with that if you can because just under those that veneer are real questions about how humans control each other or attempt to um and it's a more of a humanity tale than it is anything and by the end of it you're going to appreciate these performances and its direction and its overall heft is just very very well done nitpick about the ending if you want in terms of just it feeling a little unending, maybe. There's even a little bit of a haunted house aspect, even though it's not a haunted house in the form of haunted houses that you're used to in horror movies.

More like a, it's like an escape room. It's like an escape. It's a house of horror is more than a house. It reminds me of the scene in Labyrinth when she has to pick the two doors. It's a little like that, yeah. It's a little like that, except in Labyrinth, you have big, magical, long, it doesn't quite work the way that works.

And this thing doesn't do anything supernatural. There are a couple of moments where you're like, maybe that was supernatural, or maybe it wasn't, which is the point. You're supposed to be questioning what you see is one person's miracle as another person understanding that the moon is sometimes in front of the sun and creates an eclipse. And we know the science. It's like that kind of stuff. And it does just a, I think a really massive.

masterful job of it. I can't wait to see what these directors do next. Like to me, to me, this is just really, really sound amazing stuff. And anyway, it's really good. I really liked it. And it's got great use of the song, the air that I breathe by the hollies. Oh, yeah. You're going to, and you'll think of creep very differently. You see you will. Yeah. I didn't know that either. That was a new thing for me. Yeah. Yeah. So there's a bunch of stuff like that where I immediately went down rabbit holes after I watched it. First thing I did was I texted Brian and I go, I didn't know this was going to be such a freaking escape room but it is yeah yeah but not but not in a not a like i'm you you are not going to go into this and come out going oh they just made another supernatural

or or even that they're not going to get any of those things this is it's going to make you think it's going to make you uh it's going to make you really appreciate hugh grant is this the kind of movie that you'll be thinking about probably three months from now and every once a while creep in. Yeah, I've been thinking about it since I saw it. I've been thinking about what it would take to build a special lock on the house. So, Scott, I have a request for you, and that is, can you speak to heretic with regard to maybe someone who might be close to me, who has a great deal of anxiety, and specifically anxiety about violence towards women? Yeah, so here's the good news it kind of doesn't matter uh who who these these could have been to men the important part

about them being women is actually one of the most accurate things they do in the movie uh sister missionaries are not allowed to go into men's homes without another woman present it's a it's a big time rule and there's a big part of that there's a big discussion about that in this movie it's in a really important aspect of the movie uh and she's baking a blueberry pie yeah that whole thing so there there's this there is there are feelings i'll say this randy because i know what you're getting at there are feelings early on in this thing where oh boy this is going to be men are stronger than women and then these women are going to have an you know chance and it's going to be very sort of gender dominant

male you know there there is that feeling going into it but it doesn't it doesn't retain it or need it like by the end of this thing it could have been a baseball player and a banjo player together at last down in the basement trying to figure out what the hell we're doing like it doesn't it doesn't really come down to those issues or specifically violence toward them or sexual violence it's not that at all it's it's it's mental mental violence isn't the right word either but it's this mental manipulation it's manipulation and power challenge it sounds like it's a it's like a almost like a rubic's cube of religion like can you figure like kind of figure this out also how far are you willing to go for your faith and right what's the line that you would draw and at what point

do you you know what time what point do you you you just say yep i believe so therefore whatever happens now is all part of the plan or you know what i'm i only believe to a certain point so if it's going to go past this i'm i'm out of here like those kinds of things and so it really does tap into some primal sort of human nature control versus i would i would i would probably say if you don't like seeing women in peril and don't watch it i i would say if you don't like seeing women in peril and don't watch it. I would say if you don't like seeing people in peril, don't watch it. Yeah. It's really, it is perilous. These people are in peril. Um, and in, you know, but, but it isn't like, I'm trying to just think of a good comparison. I didn't see that, um, I didn't see that one with

what's her name as a nun, uh, euphoria. Oh, Sweeney. Yeah. Sweeney is a nun. Yeah. That one's, yeah, that one's very much about, you know, sexual violence and other stuff. I didn't see it read about it. Um, this isn't that. It's just, honestly, the two people I would warn would be people who don't like horror movies and then people who don't like to think too hard about what's real or what isn't real. Because I think you're going to come out of their disillusioned if you are super like, if you are like just rock hard religious, that's the terrible way to say that. If you are really religious, you're just really religious, whatever you're,

for god whatever your your your your belief system whatever i don't care where it comes from and none of it it's all touched upon okay all of it uh you and you go into this you're going to come out either feisty and pissed because you're being challenged a little bit or you're going to come out disillusion going oh my gosh this movie made me think too hard about this and i've never had to think about it before like i would actually warn those people a little bit just to know you're getting in that's what you're getting into but as a horror movie this isn't like this isn't like most of them it's that's why i like it it's different it's different yeah yeah it's a 24 it is a 24 yes i mean i knew it was all good movies all good movies are 824 neon nobody

nobody else makes good movies anymore it feels like i know you know 824 you almost can't go wrong yeah it's real good though so go check it out available uh now via streaming on max is where i watched it i don't think anywhere else yeah just max and uh it's quite good. That's where Bridget Jones's baby thing. Mama movie is too. Bridget Jones's baby thing. I need to do a new movie poster. My wife was so mad about

that song. Did you share that photo? Did you make that? I put that in the TMS chatter thing as well. Well, also, do you know what else we did today? Two things happened. All of these got put up on quicktms.coms. But guess what else happened? We proved that even without Tom

we can go too long with this segment. That's what we prove today. So congratulations. That's right. We don't need Tom to carry this thing to the 11 o'clock hour. No, we can do it on our own. It's all, it's all within us. It's our, we have the power. Uh, go check all this stuff out there's on Paramount Plus in Canada. Oh, well, there you go. Canadians have access to, uh, just this different. It's so weird how stuff shows up in different places. Yeah, it's a little weird. Licensing, I swear. Licensing, regional lockouts, all that crap. It all plays a roll. It's all stupid. You guys, it's been great having you on.

Nicole, anything going on in the Wood Whispering world we should tell people about? No, we're kind of on a pause. We just got a lot of we got a lot of health stuff going on in the house. So, you know, not much. If you want to, you know, we do our live show every Friday. So if you want to

on our channel the Wood Whisper there you go Randy what are we doing for FilmSack this weekend we are going to watch a fish and I'm really looking forward to it it's a fish called Wanda Oh Wanda

That's an interesting name for a fish Well different movie but yes It's still those people Very close. Not that far off. Not that far off. Yeah. I know. I know. Yeah, except I guess that was Graham Chapman before he died doing the fishy fish talk. Yeah.

As I've told you back in the day, I used to operate the Monty Pythonathon at my college, and we tried to run 24 hours of Monty Python. That really, we only had about 14 hours of actual Monty Python. So the rest of it was all extra stuff, little periphery stuff. And so I probably watched a fish called Wanda. 15 times. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it in, you know, ever since I got out of college. But, yeah.

It was a huge deal in my teens. So I'm excited to return to it. We're all going to have a blast. Check it out this weekend, Filmsack.com. In the meantime, you two have a fantastic week. Hey, you won't be seeing me next week. Oh, where are you going, Randy?

Yeah. I'll be back with another avoiding the real news, uplifting, recommendal in two weeks. Sweet. Well, let us know how it goes. We'll see you soon. All right, Brian. Yes.

but I'll be there. And then, of course, daily music headlines happening every day. Yeah, I recorded a bunch of stories today, and I don't know how many of them will actually make it into the show because I'm guessing it's more than five minutes, so I told Hammond which ones he could cut if we needed to.

Brand new show, doing awesome, the daily music headlines, and of course, Daily Tech News Show. later today, me, who will be there, probably Roger and probably Sarah and who else.

He says, Dear Spittle and Brittle, how are you all doing? Nothing special happening.

So just checking in like Elmo. I came across some cool covers from the Melodica brothers and wanted to share. I assume Brian has heard of them because they do nothing but covers. I have. I am not a big fan of the original through the Fire and the Flames by Dragon Force, but I rather like this slowed down cover. Feel free to play it whenever you don't have another request. Dispose of the Bordeaux, bro, Kevin, aka I-Corps. Oh, we love I-Corps. Although I haven't seen him in chat in a while.

Is he in there today? It's been a bit. I want to say he was here yesterday or a day before. I know I've seen him in the last couple days. Might have been. I feel like something in the works got him busy or something. We haven't seen him as much. Maybe, yeah.

Melodic Brothers, fantastic. And, yeah, I love their take something. Some of their stuff is really wacky, like new wavy kind of sound. This one is not, this one is more like acoustic, and it's great. It is, as it's described, a slower version of Through the Fire and Flames, originally by Dragon Force, more acoustic on this one, and I think you're all going to love it. Here are the Melodica Brothers.

I'm going to be able to be. On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light, in flames of death's eternal rain, we ride towards the fire. When the darkness is falling down and the times are taken. tough or right The sound of evil laughter falls Around the world tonight

Fighting hard Fighting for the steel Through the wastelands Evermore The scattered souls will feel The hell But is wasted on the shores On the blackest plains

In Hell's domain We watch them as they go In fire and fire Flames now once again we know So now we fly ever free We free before the thunderstorm On towards the wilderness Our quest carries on

Far beyond the sun down Far beyond the moonlight Deep inside our hearts and all our souls souls so far away we wait for the day for the lights also wasted and gone we feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days through the fire and the flames we carry on As the red day is thorning and the lighting cracks the sky, they raise the hands to the heavens above with resentment in their eyes. Running back through the mid-morning light there's a burning in my heart, We'll banish from the time in a fallen land to a life beyond the stars

In your darkest dreams see to believe our destiny is thy And endlessly we'll all be free tonight And on the winds of a dream So far beyond reality All alone in destiny desperation now the time has gone lost inside you'll never find lost within my own mind day after day this misery must go on so far away we wait for the day's also wasted and gone.

We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days through the fire and the flames we carry on. We wait for the day For the life's all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames we carry on So far away Through the fire and the flames we carry on
