As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the green place of many mothers and falls into the hands of the great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus.
Sweeping through the wastel, they come across the citadel presided over by the Immorten Joe.
While the two tyrants wore for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
If she was around now, she would totally tell you to sign up for the TMS Patreon at patreon.com slash TMS.

Bananza doesn't charge you for salad with your meal, even the second time around, because at
Bonanza, we want you to come back.
Do they play Magnum P.I?
No, ma'am.
They don't.
The morning stream.
Don't eat that.
It's Pluto.
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for Wednesday, April 2nd, and the year is 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian. Hi, Brian.
good morning
Scott happy hump day to you
thanks man I like a good hump day
I'm gonna embrace this one
I'm gonna try to treat it like the hump that it is
and you know move past it as quickly as humanly possible
and move on to my weekend
which is the only this upcoming weekend
is just about the only slot of open time
I've had in the last month
where I might not have to do certain
I might not have to be pulled in 15 directions
I might be able to chill a little bit
spend some time with Kim
do a little bit of you know maybe
Oh, we get one of the kids we get on the week, one of the weekend nights because Taylor's birthday's coming up.
Don't say anything.
I don't want to spoil the birthday surprise.
Oh, gosh, yeah, I don't, hope she doesn't listen to the show.
No, she does not.
Yeah, that's cool.
That'll be good.
Yeah, I know those weeks where you have, it feels like you've got everything all piled on into one week.
Yeah.
And then you get a weekend, it's like, I am not, I am not going to go out and do anything.
We're getting some takeout brought in, whatever.
I just want to sit on the couch and binge watch.
watch Love is Blind for.
Yep, that's what I want.
And that is what I'm...
That is what I'm going to get, whether I, whether anyone likes it or not, I'm going to
chill this weekend.
I really actually kind of just freaking mentally need it.
Yeah, no, you got it's, it's a requirement.
You got to have your downtime.
We are so constantly on and, you know, usually it's just for our show recording times,
but you actually had to be on yesterday for a lot more.
of the day.
Yeah, we did.
I should mention that.
We had a little tadpulmeda.
Speaking to him and he was there.
It was fun to see him.
And, uh, you know, Brian, if you've ever heard of this, I'm going to put up an image here
real quick.
Uh, this is the famous Castlevania game.
Castlevania, Marble of Souls.
And, uh, it's, uh, once again proof that Konami, Konami basically, there was a time
before the pandemic where they kind of gave up on video games and they turned their attention
almost entirely to like Pacino and.
and parlor game crap and all that.
This is sort of a remnant of that.
It's just marbles dropping down a thing.
It's a roly ball game where basically you just have to make it land
in the highest point slot to get valuable prizes.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm quote valuable.
Yeah, and some of them, some of the other machines there are the ones
that they got a bunch of marbles at the bottom and you push them out.
And then if you get marbles drop into the thing, it adds tickets to your card.
So nothing's printing tickets anymore.
It's all being added to your card.
account. It's all very Japanese.
And half of this, so this place is called,
it's in, it's,
it's wedged into the mall, but it's also
available when, when mall
hours are over, you can be in there
till like 2 a.m. So it's like a
separate thing, but part of the mall.
And anyway, it's called
round one. And they have
bowling and they have, you know, lots of that
kind of stuff, but they also have like
a ton of arcade games. Now, they're not really into the
retro scene. I wish they were, so there's not like old
arcade games, but it's all new
modern stuff, lots of eight
car racer
mega monster setups
where it's like five cars
and everybody's rumbling and moving, which
I have a video to show here in a second that is absolutely
ridiculous of me trying to drive one of those.
I didn't realize this was round
one. Okay, we have one of these near us.
Oh, is this a chain? I didn't know that. That's cool.
Yeah, um, yeah, we
I want to say that we met
we did a tadpully event at this place.
Is there a big, is there a big
a bowling pin for their logo?
Bowling, yes.
So it must be the same place.
Okay.
I'll bet this is the same place.
I didn't know it was a chain.
I thought it was like just here.
That's great.
Perfect place for this sort of thing because you don't have to pay a cover to get in.
You just decide if you're going to charge this card or not.
So technically you can just hang around this arcade, go to a little cafe thing if you
want it or whatever and just do and pay nothing or just watch people play games or you can
go in there and charge a card and do whatever.
And it's, I think, $16 is the base and it all over.
way up to best value at 55 and 100 and whatever for people who are crazy and stuff like that.
But anyway, I'm going to show you just a couple of images here. Let's see.
It's funny. It feels like we're kind of teaching kids to gamble at a very early age with these claw games,
rolly ball games. Oh, 100%.
Right when the light is on the 1,000, stuff like that.
100%. These claw machines are gambling machines. That's all they are. And also, KT Data, Kevin was there with us,
and KT Data tells me, he goes,
Erno, somebody said,
I guess it was, Noel said,
hey, you should ask Kevin about these.
He knows everything about these.
I said, oh, weird, interesting.
I said, Kevin, based on what you know about these,
are these fair?
Can I, is a claw machine, just a claw machine?
And it's all just timing and, you know,
what factors?
And he says, no, they're built to
softly not grab hard enough sometimes.
Sometimes move away you didn't intend
and then drop and be a little shy of the target.
And then once in a one,
while there's some timing thing you can set where yes this time it'll be accurate so people feel
like they're winning it sounds like horseshit this is it's a scam dude a bunch of scanny mc scammer's
pants i hated it and then you go through um akihabra in japan and when like basically we
walked down the main the main strip of of akihabra and it was a whole venue full of claw machines
Then a whole venue full of statues of anime characters in various stages of undress.
Sure.
Then a cat cafe.
Then, and repeat those three things over and over and over again.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, it's, there's a new, it's the new thing.
And I guess I'm supposed to embrace it.
But there are some cool stuff.
So there's this eight player space invaders game.
Oh, look at that.
That's cool.
And so you see everybody lined up.
Amy's way over there.
hooties over there.
There's Chuck standing there.
Brian next to me, the Utah Brian.
Chuck in the background. Chuck,
Chuck doesn't want to mess with the space invaders.
Nope. Chuck Cam, everybody going on, even in real life.
So that was really fun.
Here's something, let me tell you what I avoided.
They had this game where they dropped down these VR headsets and you put those on.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Oh, sure.
Those are sanitary.
Yeah.
Hell no.
Hell no.
I'm never doing that.
Nobody's been going to the bathroom, not washing their hands, and then touching.
putting their fingers all over that via exactly the freaking disgusting um so here's me and uh hooty playing
this racing game now this doesn't really do it justice i'm going to try to i think i can pull this
into a browser window yeah i think i can let's see so i want to play
wait a minute all right i'm going to try to play this for you guys oh it's all effed
hold on sorry let me pull that yeah monica it's not a cat
Cafe like we have a lot of over here where it's a coffee shop where they just let a bunch of cats run around loose and you play with the cats while you drink coffee.
It's young Japanese girls dressed in made outfits with cat ears that are bringing you cat-inspired treats and drinks.
And I'm not at all complaining about it, but I'm just saying it's a very different thing than a local cat cafe.
Yeah, you're picturing people a place with cats curled up in windows and letting the patrons pet them and all that's true.
That's a maid cafe.
That's true.
Yeah, it's not a cat cafe.
But the one we went to was a cat themed maid cafe.
I think it counts.
I'll share the photos at some point again.
I've given him to Scott at some point.
Yeah, I have him somewhere.
All right, here's video of me playing this awesome racing game and you'll see why in a second.
Here we go.
Oh, geez.
Oh, my back hurts just looking at this thing.
It did hurt.
I'm going to tell you right here,
this had the worst back support of anything I've ever been in,
and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I'm watching it just wrench your back left and right.
This is what old people look at, folks.
Yeah.
We look at this game, and you know, you're 20, you're 30,
you're looking at this thing, and like, oh, my God, that looks so fun.
50-year-olds look at this and say,
how much is my back really going to hurt after this thing?
Is it worth it?
Yes, okay.
How bad am I going to have to poo when I'm done?
Yeah, exactly.
It was really fun, though.
That thing is awesome.
I forgot the name.
Oh, Asphalt 9 arcade edition.
I think there's a regular, there was an old game called Asphalt.
There was an Asphalt series is basically a racing game.
Anyway, if you have one of these and they have the little four car setup or whatever, highly recommend it.
Here's the thing, though, if you don't want to do the jerk around bit, just don't
seat buckle. So there's a seat buckle.
If you don't seat buckle, it just sits.
That's a brilliant way of doing it.
Yeah, I agree. So you kind of know what you're
in for with that. It was fun. You just swipe
a card and I think Hootie beat
me at that one, but then I won at the Mario
Cart one. So that was cool.
Hey, Warp Forge, if you're listening,
maybe it's time to start planning the next
tadpooly beat up after TMS Vegas, maybe
from May. And
we do
we do player one, or round one.
Yeah, that sounds
round one it's fun it's not a there's a it's a low what i like about it's low pressure you don't feel
like like i said earlier you don't have to spend anything you don't want to you can just kind of be
there for the hangout part but if you're into it there's lots to do including miles and miles of
claw machines like these that's oh my god yeah that's what those that's what those places
you want to you want to see the sorriest pile of marios you've ever seen look at these guys
that looks like uh that looks like the princess peach only fans page yeah right she's under there
somewhere, I'm sure.
But this...
This is starring toad.
But what's that one you guys always tell me about?
Bang bus.
Yeah, bang bus.
Bang bus.
So this is a weird one because they had all the Mario's crammed in the corner,
and then all these little plastic balls had little trinkets in them.
But why pile the...
I couldn't figure out what they were doing there.
I guess it's so that, you know, it makes it easier.
If you're going for a ball, a gotcha ball,
then you just aim for those at that area.
If you want a Mario, you just go in the back corner.
And that way, at least, you know,
you're not trying to get a Mario that's wedged
between a bunch of gatchaballs, I guess.
That's true.
That's true.
Here's another shot at the Mario Kart is fun.
Oh, look at that.
Yeah, that was a great.
You know what?
It's basically just Mario Kart 8.
Here's my theory.
There's like four switches in there,
or switch hardware equivalent.
Sure.
Because it really is just the same engine.
It's the same graphics.
It's everything.
I'll hook up to displays and then the steering wheel.
They do a little bit of weird gamification of it where they add some power-ups you don't have in the home one.
And there's some like, you know, it's a quarter sucker.
The idea is to keep you playing and putting more money in it.
Here's my only beef.
I won that game.
And then you'd think that if you had won a game of Mario Kart in the arcade, that means the winner at least would carry on to do more after that.
sure like get to continue playing
kind of like the old
um
water
thunder ridge racer
whatever it was called with the
the water based one
oh uh
thunder
um
trop not tropic thunder
oh that's gonna bug me
I'm gonna need to remember it
something thunder
but there was that four player game where basically
everybody else would have to play court is you got to
continue playing because you won
but everybody else had to insert more
more money yeah and Nintendo's like
F off. We're not doing that.
Yeah, exactly. You want to play again? I don't care if you
won. You pay again. You play again.
I was super annoyed with that. But anyway,
Hydro thunder.
Gosh, dang it.
Remember those games. But anyway, it was really fun. It was great to see
everybody. Super glad everybody was able to be
there, got to hang out with the Robbinsons a bunch.
They were obviously on the show yesterday.
And they're on their way back today.
Big thanks again to Amy for joining us for
the episode yesterday. It was a blast.
Yeah, it was great having
She's already back home.
It looks like I see her in chat.
Oh, you guys back?
Are you still hanging out waiting for your plane?
I wonder.
You're still at the airport.
Might be.
I don't know when they were leaving.
You really happen this time.
Yeah.
I can't remember when they were leaving.
I know Kevin was going to give them a ride to the airport,
but I don't know what time any of that was supposed to go down.
So I guess we'll find out.
Nice.
Cool.
There was an Arctic Thunder as well as a hydro thunder.
I guess so.
With like ice and that's probably like snowmobiles instead of jet skis or whatever.
Oh, they're in the hotel packing.
Okay. Gotcha. All right. Very nice.
If you need help, bring somebody over from the OCD place across the way,
and you'll have the most efficiently packed suitcase you've ever had.
Oh, it'll never be as good again.
Yeah. You might even be able to get everything into your carry-on.
And also apologies to anyone whose name I didn't mention that were there yesterday.
Cammy was there. Who else? I'm going to forget somebody that's going to make me feel bad.
But shoot. Oh, Jim and Robin Jensen.
the Jensen's. Oh, man.
Briefly, briefly, but they were there.
With every name you say, I get more and more
jealous that I didn't just make the trek
across past Green River
and come play with you guys. Make that quick 12-hour
drive, 10-hour drive, I guess
these days, and hang out
for one night at the arcade. It was fun,
though. It was really good, and I can't wait to do it again.
All right. Well, we'll do it again.
We'll do it again in 26 days.
Yeah, it's true. You know, at Player 1.
And it'll be retro stuff
and no claw machines. That's right, no claw
machines. And you could even sit at a table and play
a Genesis if you want to.
You could, yes. And you'll be drinking
smuggled in wine with
Barry. Yeah. Indeed.
All right. Well, let's get to
I'm going to read
one of these and then save the others for tomorrow.
Okay. For turning. We've got to get to
Dunaway here soon. Yep.
We've got an email from BioCow, our old pal
BioCow. Yeah. Good guy. The morning stream at
Gmail.com or you can send your messages to voicecast.
dot app slash tms that's also a place to leave your voicemails he says this hey sergey and brin you know the founders
of google okay i didn't yet i'm glad you helped me with that one because i would have forgotten
a couple of guys in their dorm making a search engine that's us all right wow anyway sergey i
found this movie i assume that's me because of the yes i found this movie called lady sorry the lady eve
from 1941 a screwball comedy starring barbara stanwick and henry fonda there's a scene with a tortoise
in it and as we all know as we all know as we
I know. Torti live for, is that how you say a tortoise, plural, is tortie?
There's multiple tortie. I guess so.
Oh, I love that. That's great. But you don't, but you don't make it a hyphenated tort, E-Y-E.
Oh, I love it. I thought tortoises, I thought you could basically say tortoises.
Tortoise, yeah, because tortoise or tortie, yeah, they, you know what, I think he's having a, he's having a little moment.
I like it, though.
You say walruses, so why wouldn't you say tortoises?
Yeah, that's a good point.
Nobody says horse eye from many horses.
Anyway.
Right, hori.
Horai.
Anyway, they lived for like a thousand years, so you can safely watch this movie knowing you can't say everyone and everything in this movie is likely dead at the end.
You're welcome, BioCow.
You know what?
Hadn't really thought about it.
There are going to be some wildlife or something where something's still alive.
And, you know, like the
Bejong, take me, that girl,
she's still alive.
Right, right.
Zuzu's pedals.
Yeah.
So sometimes you will find a live thing,
whether it's a tortoise or a lady,
and BioCow's right.
Not everything is death and destruction.
That's a very good point.
Thanks, BioCow.
We appreciate it.
All right, let's get to some fun done away time.
Let me, okay, we'll talk about this one too
at the end of the show.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll get down there.
Cool.
All right.
Now, let's get him in here.
Yeah, see?
All right, Dunaway coming in.
Otherwise, we're going to be playing Tad Pooley feud well into the 11 o'clock hour.
True that.
Okay, we got Donaway incoming, and I need a fourth caller.
If you want to be fourth, ping me on Discord and be the fourth person live to be pulled into this game.
If you don't want to play, well, then don't do it.
But if you want to play...
What's the matter with you?
Don't dial.
Yeah, you just message me.
Yes, Stephanie, all of you.
Anybody, get in there.
Who's going to be fourth?
You'll never know.
until you show up.
It's time for us to play The Tad Pooley Feud,
and joining us to do that is One Brian Dunaway.
Hey, Brian, what's up?
No, hi Scott and Brian is Hydro Thunder.
Don't make me scream it out loud.
Yeah, I know.
I could just about hear you yelling through the airwaves.
The pain on my forehead was throbbing.
It was terrible.
I thought of you because I played a game that is supposed to be Bomber Man, and it was so stupid, dude.
Here, I'll show, let me share some video, and I'll show you this.
It was it?
It was it.
It's dumbest man.
Dumbest man.
No, so here it is.
It's called Bomber Man Arcade.
It has eight slots.
All eight people can sit around this thing.
And I thought, all right, Konami, looks like you have an actual video game of this arcade.
This will be great.
Let's sit down and play some Bomber Man Arcade.
If you look at the screen and you see this massive screen, you think, okay, throwing bombs and doing stuff, this is the shittiest game ever made.
And let me tell you why.
I can have a reason to tell you why.
You don't really play bomber man.
You have a stick and you have a button to lay bombs.
But what it is is like an aerial view almost like you're a helicopter and you're just throwing bombs trying to have the highest score.
What they don't tell you is you get 10 bombs for your first credit use.
And if you want to do more than 10 bombs, you've got to swipe your cardigan to get more credits to freaking shoot more bombs.
It's a piece of shit.
I hated this game.
I was so mad.
Man.
I was a massive bomber man fan, and that just really.
Oh, absolutely.
Especially bummer man, especially like multiplayer bomber man.
You could play like, what, like eight players on some systems?
The Saturn had, Saturn let you do 10, you know?
Yeah.
Like if they could do that with proper bomber man.
And there was a Bomberman Neo Geo game.
Neo Bomberman was fantastic.
It played in the arcade.
There's no reason.
We can't have a proper bomber man experience.
But Konami's like, how can we get more money and make it shitty?
Anyway.
How can we get people?
But we talked about other week with rampage.
It's kind of the same idea.
You shrunk down to a little small person so if you were playing three player, the other two people would come eat you.
Then you had to get it reaching your pocket and grab the coin.
So nothing new under the sun here.
But yeah, screw.
Konami. Exactly. Screw Konami.
But do not screw the
following person I'm adding to the call. I think we
have not had on here before.
Oh, good. This is JARF.
Let's see if JARF answers.
Hello, JARF. Can you hear us, JARF?
Yes, I can hear you just fine.
Oh, it's good to have you JARF. We haven't had you on
before, right? No, you haven't.
Is your name short for Jeff, or is it like a take on Jeff?
Yeah, it's a take on Jeff. I'm the
Grandmaster JARF that sends in their weird
request all the time.
Oh, very good.
Are you related to snarf?
No, but I love Thundercats.
Oh, sweet.
Okay, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
Starf?
Barf, barf's all right.
I mean, I love spaceballs like the next person, but still.
We got one of us on the phone.
This is great.
Well, it's good to have you here.
Jarf.
We're going to play this game.
Brian's going to tell you what you might win,
and then Donoey and I are going to vie for who gets to be your partner.
Take it away, Brian.
All right.
It's time to play.
It's, I've surveyed the town.
The Tadpool or Irvade the Tadpool on some
Irvade.
And Scott and Brian will have to break the answers
that gave us. It is their job to see how many of those
answers they can guess.
JARF 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 games
we've been trying to give away for a while, but nobody
seems to be good enough to win them.
Checkmate Showdown and Slaycation
Paradise. Nice.
Vacation, Paradise.
Boston Paradise.
Yeah, that's great.
Dude, he knows all our references.
JARF's perfect for this.
This is great.
He is perfect for this.
And I think you guys will have fun with this one.
So, with that, please,
carefully place your hands upon your buzzards
and give your best answer to this.
We asked 435 Tadpoolers.
Who is your favorite Canadian celebrity?
Oh.
Oh, goddamn it.
God.
How do you still beat me?
It didn't ring.
Oh, I have my thing muted.
Apologies.
There was a ring there, everybody.
Sorry, Mike Myers.
Mike Myers.
Oh, nice.
Nice.
Number six answer on the board.
Five answers will beat it.
Brian, who is the Tadpoolers?
Tedpool's favorite Canadian celebrity.
How about Michael J.
Fox?
Oh, I didn't know he was Canadian.
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't know.
Oh, yeah, totally Canadian.
Show me die.
die, you've got to get back to 1985.
Number five, appropriately enough.
What is that?
Apparently.
It's barely at the top.
That's all it needs it.
So, Brian, you get JARF as a partner and you get control of the board.
And now it is your turn to try and knock out these other eight answers that we have up here.
Let's do it.
Is this an actor or no, celebrity.
Okay.
I got to remember that.
Celebrity.
Canadian Celebrity.
Because that does not necessarily rule out non-actors, right?
It doesn't.
No.
It doesn't necessarily rule out
anything that the Tadpool might say.
It doesn't even rule out
non-Canadians because it's the Tadpool.
That's true. That's true
who played a famous Canadian.
Right, exactly.
JARF, JARF, you got a Canadian in your head?
Yeah, go with the great one, Wayne Gretzky.
Wayne Gretzky. Yes, that's the great one.
You're right. You're right.
Yes, all right.
Show me, Wayne Gretzky.
Number one.
Yep, strike number one.
Damn.
Surprisingly, not even mentioned Wayne Gretzky, even though, yeah, you don't, you don't find a whole lot of sports ball loving people.
You guys get sports loving people.
We grew up, I mean, you couldn't avoid, even if you didn't do sports.
I mean, when we were growing up, it was all about the Gritsky.
No, he was Wayne, he was the Michael Jordan of hockey.
There was no avoided.
And Mike Myers even had him in one of his movies, so, you know.
That's right.
And he was the St. Louis, St. Louis Blues for about a hot second.
I didn't know that, really?
Wow.
Yeah.
I had no idea.
He left the Kings, went to the Blues,
and they went to some other teams, so.
I had no idea.
There you go.
Geez, the Blues almost had something there.
Good luck, Tom.
All right.
All right.
Over to Scott.
Now, your choice.
All right.
I'm going to say,
maybe don't choose Jacques Plant
forward for the Montreal Canadians.
I know there's a lot of love for John Candy,
the world. So I'm going to say John Candy. Oh, that is such a delicious one. Yeah.
We did mention the barf a minute ago, so sure, why not? Show me barf.
Yeah. John Candy, number three, giving you nine points now. I'm going to stay with SCTV for a minute,
and we're going to talk briefly about Eugene Levy, hopefully, is on this. Oh, sure. Yep. Yeah.
You're Mr. shit. Yeah. All right. Show me.
Show me Eugene Levy.
oh wow
so slow
big points I know
sometimes a lag on this thing
nine points
taking 18 right now
the lag's kind of fun
because it's like it makes you
it makes you wait

Oh, sure.
If he isn't up here, he deserves to be right.
All right.
Show me, Norm MacDonald.
Wow, you are killing us.
I like the Canadians, a lot.
I'm sorry, Jarf.
That's all right.
Let's stay with SCTV and go with, I think he was Canadian.
Yeah, it'd have to be.

Sure.
There you go.
Sure.

Yeah, he is the great one.
Yep, he's a great one.

He would.
Nobody helps him.
He's been, he's been running some wild games on the social media.
You'll have to check it out.
I love him.
Yeah, he's doing great.
I don't think he's going anywhere, though, is my thinking.
Let me just turn 95, didn't he?
Yeah, something like that.
Okay, Scott, so you've got to run the board at this point because I think he's killing the end.
You've mathematically eliminated Brian winning.
Geez.
Yeah, points.
But yes, if you get these last four answers.
and you guys have five strikes between you.
I believe in you.
I believe you can do this.
All right, right, right.
Let's see what we can do.
Scott,
you still have control,
so.
I would say William Shatner,
William Shatner,
what are my chances?
Oh,
Jesus.
See,
he's not confident in my ability
to pull this up.
Oh, geez.
Uh,
I believe,
uh,
uh,
starts,
oh,
that's dangerous.
Hold on.
Ryan Reynolds.
Oh, yeah,
let's do that.
Ryan,
I always forget he's been there.
Yeah,
that's right.
We might as well all get in together.
No,

Well, that's true.
Yeah, I guess at this point.
Yeah, sure.
Let's do it, Ryan Reynolds.
Let's get him in.
Say, Drake.
No.
Show me, uh, show me that Deadpool.
Number one.
Oh, yeah.

My gosh.
I'm surprised by that.
I didn't.
I knew he was from Canada.
I knew he was from Canada, but I didn't, I didn't think it was that like big of, that much knowledge about it.
The, um, this, this survey went out in the fall, so right after Deadpool Wolverines.
So, um,
his popularity with Tadpoolers was on the rise there.
If I asked you, if I asked Brian I bit the host,
if there's any musical talent on here,
would he be able to say yes or no?
Oh, well, I totally would tell you
that I'm not going to tell you if there's any musical talent.
Damn it.
But I'll tell you who's got a little musical talent.
Who?
Definitely Canadian, very nice, and everybody loves him.
Keanu Reeves, I'm just saying.
Oh, Camer Reeves.

He throws phones at the drums.
His percussion.
Phone percussion.
Okay.
Oh, man, this gets weird now.

We have a well actually board on the Discord server that we use now for corrections.
Although I would make a record.
quest of people using the well actually board try to keep it to just the well actuallys and not
like 40 miles of conversation exactly because i can't find it yes yeah exactly we almost need
a form or something they can just submit one or i don't know we got to figure that out because right

Jim Carrey.
Plus, if you saw a cable guy, you saw him singing somebody to love by a little known band called Jefferson Airplane.
Was that your Jim Carrey?
I like that.
That was by Jim Carrey from Cable Guy.
No, it was good.
It was good.
I actually really liked it.
That was something.
One answer left.
Number 10, the most difficult answer on the board.
We're getting a lot of Martin shorts in the chat.
It feels pretty, pretty solid, right?
We've got a lot of comedians up here, right?
A nice actor's comedian
A little bit of funny guys
Yeah
There's also if I remember correctly
Jeopardy's Alex Trebek was Canadian

Let's see Martin Short happens
All right

You guys disappoint me
Number 13, Martin Short, very close to being in the top, top 10.
Boo, I say, boo!
One answer left for each of you, or one, I'm sorry, one strike left for each of you.
So, which I guess does mean one answer because your answer is either going to be right or a strike.
Right, right. True story, true story.
This is a tough one because I'll be honest.
I have not seen people in the chat.
Really?
Say this person.
Oh, my.
Yet eight people had him in the...
It ain't right, then.
No, it is not.
Wow.
Yeah, let's see.
I mean...
It's not Chad Kroger, everybody.
It's not Chad Kroger, yeah.
I mean, it could be...
And, yeah, I'm scrolling back, back, back, and I'm amazed that I...
Nobody, really.
I think that James Cameron,
was a Canadian.
He's a filmmaker James Cameron.
Avatar, you know, all that.
Yeah, yeah, he is, yeah.
You know, how about if I, um, you know, a lot of these people saying Drake, uh, in a weird
way, that's really close to answer number 10.
Oh, so it is snow.
I tried to tell you.
Who's snow?
Is that another rapper?
Informer.
Oh, that guy, right.
He was Canadian, Canadian, vanilla ice.
Yeah.
Don't say snow.
Don't say Drake, don't say snow.
Definitely not Neil.
So maybe Justin Bieber?
Because he's...
Drake, though, don't necessarily think about...
Justin Bieber? Musical?
Well, hold on.
Go ahead and...
Think about music or even...
Wow.
Drake...
What is the common?
Wow.
Think about Drake the last name.
By chance, you know.
Drake's got a last name?
Well, he did before he changed it to just Drake, right?
Yeah, well, I don't know enough deep lore about Drake.
I say to say Drake, but I don't know his last name.
What the hell?
Maybe think of somebody who would have the last name Drake.
Oh, okay.
Oh, shit.
Wow.
Tom Drake.
The guy they called the Drake on Seinfeld.
Maybe even not a real person
I know I really am I really want to give me these prices away
You still can't get it
Even it may not be a real person you say
It may not even be a real person
What?
Draco Malfoy
For it in
Yeah
For Sir Francis Drake
Who really Malvo
Why does the name Bobby Drick come to mind
Bobby Drake
Drake.
Drake O'Malley.
Fantastic might be on the right track.
Nathan Drake is Canadian.
Nathan Drake.
Oh, yes.
I guess that's right.
Yeah.
Well, maybe Nathan Drake isn't, but
maybe somebody kind of inspired him or
sounds like him or
Are you talking about the voice actor?
Harrison Ford?
Keep looking at the chat.
The chat is really helpful.
helping you right now.
Oh,
Nathan Phillian.
Oh, say that.
Say that.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I didn't know if he was Canadian.
I had no idea.
Nathan Philean.
If it drug us across the finish line this week.
I basically,
you guys were lying on the ground and I kicked you across the finish line.
Show me,
Nathan Philean.
The new Gary Gardner.
Damn.
I would have,
I would have never gotten.
Yeah,
I know.
And the fact that the Tadpool,
Nobody in the tab who had said Nathan Phileon during this entire thing made me like, oh, Jesus, there's no, they're not going to get any help towards that one.
What was going on with Nathan Phileon during the time of this survey that was had him on people's minds?
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, probably the trailer for the Superman movie came out.
Oh, that's what did it.
I just don't think it's all that well known.
Well, being in 10th place means that somebody knew it, but the fact.
Eight people said it.
As eight people said that he was their favorite.
I had no idea. He was from there. No idea.
Continuing down the list. Number 12, Bo Schwartz.
Aw.
That's sweet. Number 14, Ryan Gosling.
15 was your Alex Trebek.
Then Colin Mockery, Phil Hartman, Dave Foley, Getty Lee, Jared Keseo, Kiefer Savudh,
Catherine O'Hara, Gordon, Leifle,
Gordon, Jeff Sire, making it up in the top 28th.
Jeff, how you like that, Jeff?
The Bebs, which you almost went with, was number 29.
Michael Sarah, Neil Young, Rick Mercer, Tommy Chong, and Ellen Thick, rounding out your ones with
Tommy Chung is Canadian?
Yeah, Tommy Chong is Canadian.
What?
Continuing down the rest of this, Alex Lifeson, Avril Levine, Brendan Fraser, Bruce Greenwood, Carragie.
That's the character.
Is that the, that's the character, not the actress.
Selim Dion.
Chris Jericho, Dana Carvey,
Dwayne Johnson,
Jewel State, Justin.
I know, the Canadian rock, I guess, I don't know.
Jewel State, Justin Trudeau,
Laura Vandervort.
She's somebody's favorite Canadian, Laura VanderVe.
I don't know who that is.
Should I know that person?
She was a Supergirl in Smallville.
Exactly.
Oh.
Oh, I liked her.
Okay.
She's cool.
Yes.
And she was in that V remake, too.
Yeah, yeah.
She played Marina Bacheran's daughter in that.
That's right.
Leonard Cohen, Michael Boubley, Mr. Dressup,
Neil Patrick Harris.
I don't think he's Canadian.
I don't think he seems Canadian, though, doesn't he?
All Red, Robin Williams,
Sandra O, Sebastian Bach, Seth Rogan,
Shania Twain.
People are just making things up now.
Simulieu.
Those are all true.
Those are all real.
is all true yeah what's it they all always show up in um simon lu i knew was because he's in that
those canadian shows uh uh kim's convenience but also they mentioned sebastian bach he but he's
the skid row guy right he's in a ton of like the trailer park boys episodes he's freaking
fantastic yeah okay it's really good uh tom green trisha helfer will arnette will feral and
finally wolverine oh yeah not you jackman but the character
I thought he was Australian, according to the 90s cartoon.
Yeah, one a piece of fruit.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, I never thought about it because that was weird in that cartoon, right?
But then they did give Hugh Jackman the job, who is Australian, doing an American accent.
Yeah, I didn't realize.
I never put those two together.
To America, you'd be Canadian or Australian.
It's all the same to us.
I cannot believe.
Wait, no, Norm MacDonald was on here.
I was thinking I was supposed to be disappointed by something, but he's on there.
Oh, no, Martin Short, I was sad about it.
Did he make the deeper list?
And then, yeah, he was 13th.
He was really close to the top.
Okay. Good.
Now, am I wrong, or am I thinking that the voice actor for Nathan Drake in one of the games was Nathan Philean?
Or was it just that he was, he kind of inspired the character's look and.
Everyone thought he looked like him, so they wanted him to be in the movie.
That's what it was.
But then they made a short film.
Yeah.
They did a little short fan film and then everybody was like, but then they missed their opportunity because everybody got too old and stuff.
But, yeah, he would have been a great Nathan Drake.
It would have been perfect.
He would have been perfect.
Instead, we got Tom Holland.
Who's fine?
Still somehow got you there.
Hey, that means, JARF, you get yourself a copy of Checkmate Showdown and Slakeasyan Paradise.
Yes.
Well done.
We finally found a home for these games.
That's great.
How do you feel about your big win there, JARF?
It makes me want to go watch Fifth Element.
Oh, who doesn't want to watch that?
Everybody does.
I'll play this for you.
Congratulations.
And I'll play this for me.
Because technically I lost, if you think about it.
I mean, I won, but I lost.
The score says 50 to 5, so technically I think you still won.
Yeah, everybody wins today.
Congratulations, Jarre.
It's good having you on, and you're always welcome to try again.
Thanks for being today's 12th caller, and made the win beat your back, sir.
Thank you, guys.
Bye now.
Yeah, yeah.
Unless you're farting.
Unless you're farting.
And then let the wind be nowhere near you.
Hey, Dunaway.
Hey, guess what?
Friday, you and I, getting together, playing some.
something that's near and dear to your heart.
And also, I guess this is a good thing to mention to Ibit
because I'm not sure he'd heard of these,
but they're right in his wheelhouse.
So tell people what we're covering this week.
I've been super excited to talk to Ibit about this
because it is a Marvel connection,
Marvel Comics Deere, in 1984,
there was a game called Quest Probe
featuring The Hulk and several other.
There was like 12 of them plans.
Yes, right.
And the first one did so badly, they only did one, right?
No, no, no, no, no, not true.
they actually did three and the reason why they stopped is because of the video game crash
in the United States which this company existed in and so yeah so it's all text adventures
but has these nice little graphics at the top and that was magic to me on my Commodore 64
back in 1984 seeing the comics that I was reading come to life digitally even instill pictures
and really shitty but I want to say we had one of these did they make it they also made
it for the 2,600, didn't they?
They did not make it for, they made it for the 8-bit
computers, so if you had an Atari 5,200,
you could have played some of these 8-bit
computers, yeah.
Zetex Spectrum,
a lot of the 8-B computers ran this.
You had the TimeX, Sinclair?
Maybe.
Right.
The Timex Sinclair.
Oh my gosh, I forgot.
Oh, God, the Timex-Nclare, a little tiny,
the tiniest little computer keyboard on that thing.
Yeah, yeah.
I played it on the, the,
European version, the ZX spectrum, I got a replica called The Spectrum, and I played it this week on it.
And those rubber keys, that was fun.
Yeah, the rubber keys are freaking bad, man.
It was not a good time.
By the way, there's your spectrum.
There it is right there.
Crapy membrane keyboard, too.
So not only was it small, you had to press hard on those little membrane.
Yeah.
Clickers to be able to type anything.
Yeah, they were terrible.
Like half the, those things were like half the, like half the.
price of most computers at the time, though.
So if you had to get it, and it's interesting how you
type on them, because there's a lot of
function keys, right to hit a button, and then it
does a, you know, type out load or a list
or whatever. But a interesting
experience in a text adventure.
PC load letter. Load letter. Lovel letter.
Lovel letter.
Hey, Brian, I'm going to reach out
to you. I want,
I need some advice. I want to hook up my
$2,600 to my existing, like
actual $2,600, and check these games.
So I'll talk to you about what I need to do RF modulator connector thing to HDMI.
Absolutely.
And in exchange for your help, I'm going to let you pick any game, any boxed game out of this 2,600 box.
Nice.
Yes.
Nice.
Now you're talking my language.
Not yours' revenge, though.
I'm keeping yours revenge.
Sorry.
You probably already have eight copies.
Yeah, but it's also the only good Atari game ever made.
So let's cut it was.
I disagree.
Pitfall is pretty good.
Rear, that's the only, that's about as much sound difference you got out of that machine, too.
It was either just, or rear, and that was about all you had.
Anyway, there you go.
Hey, Donaway, it's good talking to you.
We'll do this again next week.
And, of course, on Friday, play retro 1.30 Mountain Time.
Go to frogpants.com slash play retro to learn more.
Kiss our butts.
I got him.
I got him.
I got him.
All right, we're going to do one news story, and then we're going to take a break.
So here we go. News is now.
Today's news brought to you by.
Daily Music Headlines, where you can find, you can find the show at DailyMusikheadlines.com,
where today we're going to talk about Roger Daltrey, I say we're going to talk about,
I've already recorded it, Roger Daltry of the Who going full Tommy,
Scrillx's new album, and Apple's new ambient music feature, which I tried out this morning,
and that's kind of cool, actually.
And way, way, way, way, way, much more on that.
That was not grammatically correct,
but you can find grammatically correct daily music headlines
by going to daily music headlines.com.
Go check it out.
Get your daily dose.
Okay.
Yeah.
Here's a story about a goat.
I like a good goat story, so we're doing a good story.
That's good stuff.
Goat opens a gate.
Let's the kangaroo there loose in South Carolina.
I should have left a done away around for this.
Maybe you need to be on the lookout for the,
for the loose kangaroo, I don't know.
Sure.
The police of South Carolina rounded up and escaped kangaroo,
which turned out to have been released by a mischievous goat, aren't they all?
Oh, those damn goats!
So funny, we were just talking about goats last night in the car,
pregnant goats, me and Chuck.
And how goats and sheep do not look right when they're pregnant.
They just looks like they're broken.
They were all this like, exactly, like you stuck a basketball onto the side of an animal.
Yeah, and it's almost like two of them, like two big water tanks on the sides.
Yeah, giant, like blown out testicles or something, just kind of hanging off the edge, and they waddle.
So it's like you look at it and go, that animal is going to die.
There's no way that's just going to have a baby and live.
But they do, so.
They had square eyes, so what do you expect?
Fair enough.
Oh, so weird.
So weird.
The horny, sorry, Hory County Police Department.
That looked like an end there in the middle.
Horny County.
Said on social media that the 4th Precinct Patrol Division responded to a neighborhood where a kangaroo was seen on the loose.
That must have been pretty freaky.
Seeing a kangaroo rip to your neighborhood.
It says the officers returned this pouch potato pet home.
Return this pouch potato pet home.
Potato pet home.
I don't what that means.
So I guess they're calling the kangaroo a, I was trying to figure out, all right, are they calling it a pouch potato.
potato but they're calling it a pouch potato pet home i don't get it like pouch potato versus couch potato
i get the joke yeah because he's got a pouch on the front of him and he's somebody's pet so he's he's a
pouch potato pet you know this proves cops can't be funny that's what this proves it really yeah exactly
they worked more on coming up with that than they did catching the kangaroo you can tell they're
trying to be a hoot here but i don't think it worked yeah what's a why why is somebody in south
carolina owning a kangaroo this feels like it's
got to be illegal well it's in the it's from the zoo so i got to escape from the oh it is okay gotcha
yeah yeah yeah not a pet yeah not a pet at all that's why i think that's weird right well anyway
that says the animal's owner lindsay richerson said she'd woken up oh she did it did have an owner
owner my my bad yeah you know what i'm confused about which pet which animal they're talking about
are they talking about the goat or the freak is is the goat the pet or is the kangaroo the pet
they really don't even like this article really focuses on the uh
The kangaroo.
Okay, so she owns both a kangaroo and a goat,
and the two of them catched a plant together.
They're in the cahoots then.
Yeah, there was a whole montage, by the way,
where they talked about, you know, the inside man.
And they showed a full freeze frame of the goat
looking back at the camera and then says,
the mark.
Yeah.
And it's a picture of Lindsay Richardson looking at her.
There's some really cool music that's kind of got a...
Right.
Yeah.
Chik-dick-jik-jik-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-oh.
Oh, man.
I love a
heist movie
You just described
Every heist movie
And I love them all
It's the best, yeah
Anyway,
Her Nurember alerted her
To this exotic pet that was loose
Richardson said she had to go out for her silk
Or sorry,
go out in her silk
Pink Pajamas
To help police wrangle the loose roo
Ah, the poor thing
That's a weird detail
Somebody paid by the word
Yeah, that's a weird thing to include
I don't know why they had to do that
You're in your pink pajamas
Trying to get this
Pouch Potato Pet home
Why am I Australian?
Because it's a kangaroo, of course.
That's all right
It's better than the goat accent
I don't know what a goat accent would be
So you're fun
Then you're free
Yeah
Get out while you can
Richardson later
Determine the kangaroo had gotten out
Thanks to her goat
Unlatching the gate
So the case is closed
All the perpetrators have been punished
And sent to a Salvadorian prison
Without any due process
Just kidding
I made that part up.
I wish I could make it up in real life.
Anyway, hey, we're going to take a break.
When we come back from this break,
we will spend some time with Nicole Spagnolo.
Not Randy, because he's on vacation.
He ain't doing it today.
But we are going to have a recommendal.
It's going to be great.
So stick around after Brian plays this song.
What do you got?
I have got a brand new song from the band,
Late Night Drive Home.
They have a brand new album called As I Watch My Life Online.
And this is the first single.
It's called Terabyte.
These guys are actually starting.
They're going to be doing a big tour this summer, starting in Austin, then going around the U.S., going through Salt Lake City, where they're going to be performing at Soundwell.
Denver, they'll be performing at the Bluebird Theater.
People like the Soundwell here.
That's a cool venue.
That's good.
Yeah, New York's Bowery Ballroom, Pearl Street, and Washington, D.C., the 24 Oxford and Vegas.
So many cool venues I've heard of.
And then culminating in a show in their hometown of El Paso, Texas at the Lowbrow Palace.
But this is the band, it is called Late Night Drive Home.
The song is Terabyte.
Nothing is a drug
Yeah, it's so hard to get enough
Constantly
Remind me
It's just sweet
It's just sweet
I'm present and not existent
Every day
I get less and less sleep every day, every day
I keep here frosting, it's hard to complain
Breathe through me, sweet
Nothing's love
speak, my favorite categories, oh, dark playing, you're calling to me, I'm weak.
As I watch the fuck on mine, I promise it's my last time on this fucker twisted website.
Never mind
I think I just told a lie
Oh
Popping is a drug
Yeah, it's a hard
To get enough
Constantly
Remind me
Rememite
It's sweet

Get your camera ready to catch the delight
As your family marvels at your magic touch
Uh, Dr. Nelson, what about accidents?
And we've returned.
Could you tell me who that is again so I could seek it out and find it myself?
I totally can.
Yeah, that is a band called Late Night Drive Home.
Their brand new album comes out June 27th.
It's called As I Watch My Life Online.
But that's the first single, which is great.
And there's a video for it too if you want to check it out.
It is called Terabyte.
I think I got Amy and Chuck into Dead Mous.
they were here. Oh, nice.
Yeah. I mean, it's for pound for pound.
It's my favorite electronic music and musician.
And I was a little worried because, you know, they've got very eclectic music taste, Chuck and Amy do.
They do. They do.
And I was like, are you going to like my, you know, trancey freaking business?
And it turns out, I think they kind of liked it.
They introduced me to a bunch of new bands during the trip out there.
The six-hour drive from Atlanta to Savannah does allow for a lot of great music getting passed around
and shared between all the passengers.
And so it was a great set of tunes.
Sure, sure.
Yeah, if you watch the video, by the way, for this song from Late Night Drive Home,
there's a whole verse about, basically it's talking about stuff online, stuff on the internet,
and there's a whole verse about porn, and there's a lady dancing on a pole in the music video for this thing.
Nice.
I'm going to check it out.
It's fully clothed.
This is all, everybody's dressed.
Yeah.
I mean, you're watching on YouTube for everything.
sakes. They ain't got no point. Exactly. But it's
kind of funny. It's a funny video where all
the things are happening on the internet in this
person's room. There you go. I like it.
Yeah. There you go. Okay. Nicole in
coming.
I'm going to add her to the call. Get her in here. Make it happen.
See what she's been watching. See what we've
been watching. I somehow managed to watch
a thing. Everything else
going on. Well, that's not true because I did watch
it before all hell broke loose, but it was
everything started. See, that's at least you watched
it. It was freaking great. I can't wait
to talk about it. We're ringing.
We're ringing. We're seeing her thing ring.
We're not getting the rings of speakage, however.
That doesn't mean she's not there.
It just means sometimes Mark needs to be yelled at.
And she's still ringing the rings of ringage and didn't answer.
All right.
Let's try this again.
Here we go.
Ring.
Okay, we're ringing.
We're ringing.
I don't know.
We did.
Yeah, we did, right?
She got to do so much.
Yeah.
She saw it after I posted it because I saw her posting in there.
Yeah.
And put in her recommendal, which is a great one, by the way.
Yeah, I think so too.
I want to hear about it.
You watched that whole thing too, right?
That she's going to talk about it?
I did.
I watched the whole thing, but then that thing that she's recommending is just a one-episode deal.
And it was so good.
It's like a documentary kind of.
Well, I guess we'll learn.
Oh, she's here.
Great.
Here we go then.
Let's play this thing.
Here we go.
Well, what do you recommend?
Hey, listen to that.
that music means it's time for us to do
recommendals with Nicole Spagnolo who is here
hi Nicole
I'm so sorry I'm like
trying to figure out and Mark's like
did you forget about TMS and I'm like
no and he's like they're calling you
and I'm like it's not reading
oh yeah
so sometimes if your phone doesn't have
if it's set to silent at all you're
going to not hear that or see that or whatever
yeah so are you in the parking lot of the
Joanne fabrics this week
no I'm in the
A parking lot of a hospital, thank you very much.
I hope everything's okay.
Everything all right at the hospital?
You're all right?
I just need to get my EKG done.
I was supposed to do it in December,
and I'm just getting around to it.
And, of course, they're like, we don't have your order.
And I'm like, of course you don't, because the medical system is crazy.
But, yeah, so now I'm just sitting in the parking lot.
hoping that my neurologist will send the order so I can get this over with and off my to-do list.
Yeah. Get that off your chest, literally. Get that EKG off your chest. There was just a blip.
Yeah. Yeah. She just saw a blip that she wanted a longer EKG. And I'm like, I get it. Let's do it.
Yeah, you got to go after them blips, man. I'm going to avoid it for four months. I'll get it done.
Sure. Well, I'm glad that we have this brief time with you then to find out what cool things.
you saw. Let's get cranking and start with Brian and do your recommendal, Brian. What's your clip for your deal here?
This is a series that will surprise nobody that I started watching after something else that I had recently finished watching.
And it'll be, I think they actually say the first word of the title of this show in this clip.
So you'll have no problem knowing what it is.
You said you're afraid of losing us. And that's why we can't stay by your side.
But it's my decision to fight, not Pakus and not yours.
Yeah, and do you think we came all the way here just to leave you on your own?
Silly Avatar?
I don't know if I can protect you.
You can't.
Yeah, and worrying about who will or won't get hurt?
It's not just the Avatar who has to deal with that.
That's what it means to be a family.
Kour, Kroku, Kiyoshi, they all said that I need to do this by myself.
The Aftower must bear the burden alone.
This is the past.
Now, only one person can tell you the future.
The person who write the legend of Aang.
She means you.
You got that, right?
Sorry.
Fire Nation's here.
Okay.
Time to fight.
Time to fight the Fire Nation.
Time to fight.
Yes.
Darr.
Yeah.
Pretty obvious that is Avatar, the last airbender.
And of course, since you can't see it, you just have to assume that as the live action version that came out last year on Netflix, where they basically redo the first season of the, you.
animated series, the last air bend.
Do they make, do they make up for the movie?
Oh, I mean, the movie, the movie, the only person that should have to make up for that
movie is M. Night Shumelon.
But this definitely, it's like, it's like, instead of watching the movie,
instead of watching the movie, watch this.
For sure.
Don't even, for all intents and purposes, that movie does not exist, except.
for when we eventually watch it
for film sacked, but until then
that movie does not exist.
It only exists in the back rooms.
Exactly, yes. Put that
back in the Disney vault,
even though it's not Disney.
No, this is Avatar the Last Airbender,
the 2024 live action
series. That is
it's really, really good.
God, the production value on this is excellent.
It goes
darker than the animated
series was able to do. And you know,
from the beginning right when you see kind of the first
firebender attack on somebody
that it torches somebody
like it's not oh
it knocked me back but I'm okay
I'm just shaking up no this is like
yeah exactly no this is
this is not your
animated airbender but
the
this is a series that totally relies on
a story that's already
established which is great which is already
you know it's already a known quantity
and the acting of its young stars
including Gordon Cormier as Ang
shaved his head for this and does a great job as Ang.
The star of this really is Kiowintio.
Yeah, Kiwintio.
She's a Mohawk First Nations actress who plays Katara,
and she is excellent in this.
Really, really good.
It also basically has the three biggest Asian actors from Lost,
Daniel Day Kim, Ken Lung, and the guy who played Hanso in Lost.
They're all Fire Nations.
They're all Fire Nations people all working together.
So it's kind of funny that these three lost actors are all in cahoots.
Isn't Paul?
Because the guy interviewed, freaking.
Paul Sun Jung Lee.
Yes, and Fire Nation.
Yeah, that guy.
He's also Fair Nation.
he's he's your um uh ero uh and he is so good like he the dude's fantastic and he's um
uh so so freaking amazing um kind of one of my favorite characters from the animated series so he was
somebody that i was really hoping they'd get right in um uh in this and they do they do a great job
with it it's um you know it's obviously they're taking what is it 20 how many episodes i want to say
it was 18 or 16 episodes of the animated series and boiling it down to eight live action episodes
um so they they abbreviate some things they combine some other things you don't get as much of
the secret tunnel people but you do get them um and uh uh it's a really it's a it's a it's a really
fun series and and watching it directly like immediately after I watched the final episode of
the Avatar animated series going right into this I was you know kind of ready for just that
continuation of being able to compare the two right away and you know if we're getting a second season
are they done with this yes we're getting two more seasons seasons two and three have already
been approved so we are going to get the continuation of the story and hopefully
I assume closure
since the animated series went for three seasons
this presumably will follow that path.
Yeah, I need to see, my daughter and her friend
were a little bit dismissive of the series
and I think it's because they just hold the animated show
in such regard that it's impossible.
I could totally see that, yeah.
As someone who is new to the whole thing,
watching these back-to-back, probably didn't give me
as much of a love, a separate love
for the animated series as people
who grew up watching that on Nickelodeon would have.
So I can totally say it.
They're going to be, I enjoyed it.
Yeah.
I think I would too.
I think I'd have a good time with it if I can just make some time to see it.
But I thought, in my head, I thought somebody said cancellation and I went, well, I'm not
going to invest in it if it's not coming back.
But if it is, that's great.
Yeah, Netflix even has that thing that says second and third season are coming.
I love it when Netflix gives you, like, in the description of the show that says, season
two coming soon.
I think we've probably done
the research and no
if you don't tell me
to get invested. I don't want to get
like Scott said.
Yeah. I'm only going to get one season.
Man, why do I want to watch something that's got to
I'm still pissed about
chaos and
Dead Brothers detective agency.
Meanwhile, a show
that I thought already had a
series finale, a series finale,
the show you,
No, apparently he's got one more season coming.
No idea. I thought Penn Badgell.
I thought the whole thing was done, but apparently not.
And you loved that, right? You were really into that.
I really did like that show, but it's, but it's like, it's a like, not like hate, but it's a like, you know, it's not a character that you want to like because he's a dick.
He's a murderous, uh, f-ball.
Yeah.
But he doesn't have the charm.
It's like Dexter without the charm, basically.
That's great.
But it is a, it is one of those shows where, ooh, I did a horrible thing.
Let me cover it up by doing an even more horrible thing and just continue to ride that snowball down the mountain.
Yeah, compounding the horribleness until you're run out of horrible things to do.
Exactly.
But anyway, this is worth watching.
Eight episodes, you'll fly right through them because they're, they're compelling and they spared no expense on the special effects.
some of these giant water creatures,
even just the look of water being
bended, bent
in the show
is so well done.
It's abyss level special effects
on the water, the water effects.
Oh, that's cool.
Those still hold up weirdly.
They really do, yeah.
Surprised by that.
Awesome. All right, there it is.
Last Bear Airbender, live action edition
on Netflix available now.
Nicole?
I don't know why it just called me again while I was in the call.
Oh, yeah.
It just happens.
That's weird.
I don't know why.
It's a mobile thing.
I don't know why it does it.
It happens to windy all the time.
Do not feel bad.
It's just weird.
Okay.
Because I'm sorry.
I'm stuck in my car and I sound like I'm in a car.
No, actually, your audio sounds really good actually in your car.
Oh, good.
It's not bad.
Not bad at all.
Well, tell us what you brought.
I smell a little.
Lauren Michaels on what you brought it. I'm not sure you know if you haven't figured it out by
now I'm a big Saturday Night Live fan like it's on my bucket list like I really really really really
really I don't even care if they have the worst guest there I don't even care if Paris Hilton
hosted I would still want to go even if it's a sports even if it's a sports celebrity which is
I don't really like the kiss-in-death for an episode.
I know, it really is.
I just, I just want to go to experience alive.
I don't know if I could stay up now.
Because now I'm this problem.
Nicole would be one of the not ready for bedtime players.
Is it still, I'm like, I don't watch as much as I used to, but is it still some of the worst
skits are later anyway, so it's not a big deal if you miss me on?
I don't know.
sometimes there's some gems that get thrown in at the end.
But typically whatever's after update is the...
Yeah.
And apparently there is, if you're watching it live,
there is a small indication on whether or not it's going to be a really,
really good show.
Do you know what that is?
No.
Do you know what it is?
No.
Is it the laughter you hear at the very beginning of the show before,
like after the NBC announced before, okay.
Nope.
What is it?
If, okay, so when they do the monologue,
if it goes right into a skit,
it's going to be a good show.
If it goes right into a commercial,
not going to be the other show.
Really?
That's like some bullshit, though, right?
Like, this isn't really.
I can't remember the last time
that I saw the monologue go into a skit, though.
It seems like for the last several years,
it's gone right into it.
Are you watching it, but are you watching it live?
Are you watching it with, are you watching it with commercials?
We're watching it live on actual terrestrial live TV usually.
Yeah, yeah.
But that, that has been, um, and maybe it's not so much true now, but back when you couldn't watch it on streaming, that was your indication that you were going to have a really good show, a really funny show, is if they just rolled right into the skits.
Interesting.
Okay.
I had no idea.
Yes.
That's cool.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Never heard of that before.
Wow.
So I have yet to watch the 50th anniversary episode because I'm kind of holding it.
Like I want to.
Wow.
Okay.
I'm saving it.
And so there's a couple of other documentaries out that I'm watching before.
watch that.
And what I'm recommending,
I actually thought I was just going to be some clips.
And then I was like, oh, oh, it's two hours.
It's two hours and 15 minutes.
And it turned out to be, I smiled the whole time watching it.
Music like you, Brian, is just part of, I'm, I'm not into music as much as you are,
Brian, but I use music as therapy.
Sure.
And I hold music very, very dear to my soul and my healing and how I feel.
And this documentary they did on the 50 years of music of SNL was just mind-blowing.
because when a lot of times when you watch
Saturday Night Live and you'll watch
a musical guest and you're like who the hell is this
person? Like you don't
and they haven't become famous yet
but SNL has a history
of just knowing
you know not always but most of the time
knowing when an artist is going to blow up
so you get a lot of this is the first time
we've ever seen this artist and it's like they're
just on the cusp of their of their
Right. It's amazing to watch. It gives me chills. I got the chills so many times watching this. My MSR is triggered by music a lot of times. So I get my little brain bubbles. And so. I love it. Isn't it ASMR? It's ASMR, right? Not AMSR. AMSR. I don't know what you said. I don't know what you said. ASMR. ASMR. It's AMS. Wait.
Isn't it?
A-M-S-R.
A-M-S-R.
Wait.
I think that's an A-M-S-R.
A-M-S-R.
No, it is A-M-M-S-M-S-M-SR.
I'm sorry, it is A-S-M-R-M-R-M-R-S-M-R-M-R-S-M-R-M-R-S-M-M-R-S-M-M-R-S-M-SRES-M-M-SER.
All right, well, let's play your clip.
Let's see what we got here.
Enjoying.
Oops, here we go.
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies.
Ladies and ladies. Ladies and gentlemen, you are so lucky tonight.
Carly X-C-X.
Prince.
L.L. Cool J.

Bad Bunny!
Live from New York.
SNL has served as a time capsule through the decades for America.
To me, it was the most iconic American television show of all time.
You don't know what's going to happen until 11.30 p.m.
It's the tight road walk. They want to see your dangle. They don't want to see you fall.
There you go.
It's getting pretty manic there.
I guess that's the point, though, right?
so at the beginning they do a montage like it is one of the best mix tapes of music i have probably ever seen
and i was just did you watch this brian i did oh i did and that that opening so it's all quest love right
putting this the whole thing together and that did they yeah yeah um and it's this whole thing of like
it's the perfect mashup going from one thing to another one song and then merging these two bands
and you see both bands on the split screen and then a third one comes in and one of them slides out
and it's all so perfectly synchronized into this amazing mashup it is just that opening five minutes
I couldn't I could not take my eyes off the screen and that's what I thought I was watching
and then they go into the documentary yeah and they talk
talk about how comedy is so close to music and, like, it just, it just makes so much sense.
And then when I love, love, love, love, love that they talked about, the Ashley Simpson debacle.
Yes.
Like, I love that they talked about that.
The Schenade O'Connor thing.
The Schenade O'Connor thing.
Yeah.
Like, like getting to hear.
like getting to hear what's going on in the control room during all that stuff like wait
play a tape what's she doing play a tape oh she's leaving the stage almost Costello went rogue
oh crap what do we do like um and and kind of the lore and the history of certain bands and
you know i always see the stupid you know facebook things where they're like such and such blah blah blah
will never be invited back on S&L, blah, blah, blah.
And Elvis Costello was supposed to be one of those people.
And he's been back tons.
Yeah, totally.
And I love how, what's his face?
Lauren Michael says, yeah, we really, we aren't so precious that we won't invite somebody back.
We're kind of desperate for good acts.
So if Elvis Costello wanted to come back, he could come back.
is Lauren is Lauren featured quite a bit in this thing
he is he is a little bit yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you have um
Adam Sandler talking about uh Adam Sandler and his music
and how how how the SNL actors Eddie Murphy is been is in it talking about the hot tub
I'm going to get in a hot tub.
Yes, right.
Danny Murphy, James Brown hot tub, yeah.
It's just so, so, so good.
And I know that there are a lot of people like,
SNL, it's past its prime.
No, it's not.
No.
It is a product of its time.
And if you watch this, it shows how it evolves.
And they talk about having the,
very first hip-hop
act on
SNL. Like
it's just amazing.
I can't recommend it enough.
Especially if you enjoy music.
You're talking about that Mosh Pit,
the
Fear.
Fear, right. Fear.
Like the Mosh Pit.
It's freaking mayhem in that studio.
Yeah.
And the lore that went out
with that and how it wasn't true
and just
I just absolutely
Oh my God
Right down American flag on a drum kit
And them telling them not to
So it's great
It's really good
They booked Rage Against the Machine
With Forbes
Steve Forbes
Which is like
Yeah
But didn't they
What are you thinking
They got banned right
Rage did for something
Did I read that somewhere
They got told
Yeah
They got kicked out.
They got kicked out.
They got kicked out.
But again, I'd probably think Lauren would probably welcome them back again, you know, if they wanted to come back.
Totally.
Totally.
But what a bad pairing.
Let's let's put rage against the machine with the machine.
Like Forbes was running for president.
He's like a billionaire, whatever.
It's a great idea.
I love it.
It was just, well, if you want it to make something happen, yeah.
And they were, they were trying to make something happen.
But SNL was like, no, no, no, no, no.
And it's just, it's wonderful.
I just love SNL.
And like I said, it's on my bucket list to go to New York City and just watch and be there.
I just want to, I just want to be in that studio.
and watch it
live. That and
Price is Right.
You want to be in these studio
and Price's right taping?
Those are my two
bucket list. I kind of got
the prices right
when they traveled through town
and they had like a little
knock off one and I got to spin
the wheel, a little tiny wheel.
Did you really?
How big? Wait, how big was the wheel
you got to spin? I got to know.
I mean, it had to be
taller than the wheel.
No, no.
No, no, I wasn't taller than the wheel, but it definitely was smaller than the one they have on the real show.
And I still have fun, but that's probably as close as I'm going to get to being on Price's Right.
I probably have more of a chance of going and seeing SNL than I do on the Price's Right.
But those are, those are, but my next one, so they have another documentary that I started watching as Tracy Morgan.
I'm going to
you everything
I'm like
okay I got to watch this later
because this is going to be a good one
it's like a four part series
oh that's really good yeah
yeah yeah so
yeah the fourth one
holy cow
the fourth one is about the
the weird dark times
of SNL the weird season
yes
yes the weird
I can't believe
yeah but they didn't get canceled
but they almost got canceled
this is all this all
peacock by the way
peacock
where all this is? It's all on Peacock, yeah. Oh, yeah, it is on Peacock, yeah. So, yeah, I assume
so. I assume NBC Universal will forever own that all, right? They're never going to not own that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not going to go anywhere. I mean, Scott, do you like SNL? Yeah, I do a lot.
I haven't, the later, these late, sorry, most recent seasons have not compelled me really much at all,
but the, you know, long history of being an SNL fan, my, you know, height years would have been
probably late high school, early college, where I couldn't get enough.
Bill Hartman and Dana Carvey.
Yeah.
That whole era in there where it just I couldn't get enough of it.
I loved it.
So Dana Carvey and David Spade do a podcast.
Yeah.
Fascinating.
Brian listens to it.
Fascinating.
You still listen, Brian.
You still listen to that show.
Yeah, I do.
I still do.
I basically pick and choose which guest I want to hear.
but they've really figured out how to actually let the guests talk,
which they didn't do in the first several.
Got to. Yeah. They had a lot of say.
Yeah. But boy, their interview with Malaney, John Malaney,
fantastic, and nothing was off the table as far as the stuff they could talk about.
The writers.
Bobby Moynihan was great. Austin Taylor Johnson was great.
That's awesome.
The poor writers.
James Johnson.
I can't remember the guy's middle name, but yeah.
Yeah. Because I get the sense that those writers get stuff stolen from them, like, constantly.
Sure.
Like, like, they come up with an idea and then somebody else just kind of takes it and runs with it.
And it's like, hey, that was my idea.
Like, but that's the cutthroat nature.
I think that's what that four-part series goes into and talks about the writers and just how,
it's such a cutthroat kind of experience to work at Saturday Night Live.
But it's like, I mean, it's, it's what you, what's his name from Seinfeld?
I was going to say George Costanza.
Jason Alexander.
No, Larry, Larry David.
Oh, Larry David, yeah.
He was a writer for S&L for a period of time.
and he hated it so much.
Yeah, there's a long list of people who are in and out of there.
I think he quit and then just came back.
And that's where that part, that episode where George quits and then just comes back as if he didn't quit.
I think that was from Larry Davis' experience at S&O.
No, 100% is.
He talked, Jason Alexander, I heard an interview on his show.
He's got a podcast, too.
and he tells that story
and says it was based on
Larry David leaving and coming back
and pretending like he never left
and it kind of worked.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is nuts to think about
because he totally had a blow out
when he left and then came back
like it didn't happen.
Yeah.
Yeah, right, right.
Well, anyway, go get your peacock on.
That's definitely my recommendation.
I'm going to give a side recommendation.
I introduced my son to Billy Madison.
um and he he was like very like what the hell is this and then as soon as like the fart joke started
then he started laughing and then i noticed my husband watching and i was like wait have you not
seen billy madison he goes no i got what oh wow so both mark and matteo got to uh experience
Billy Madison and it's I love it. I love Billy Madison. It's crude. It's stupid. It's funny.
I'm a I'm a big Adam Sandler fan. So there's not much he can do wrong for me. But I know a lot of
people are like, but whatever. Everybody don't yuck my yum. I won't yuck your yum. It's okay.
But I if you haven't watched Billy Madison, it holds up funny. I was going to cuss. But no, it's very
funny you can drop all the shit you want on the show it's not a problem yeah exactly no my my recent my
recent is an f-bomb and like crazy because i um so what i've found is that once i do my infusions
it takes around four-ish five-ish days and then i just feel amazing and so i'm in that
really good feeling part of it reminds me it reminds me when you and i you and i you and i
We used to play, we used to play, uh, Callow Duty 2, or Callow Duty to Water
Refer 2.
It was me, you, Mark, Eric, and sometimes Liam.
And you've never heard a cussar person than Nicole playing that game.
I've never heard swearing like that.
It was like Tarantino was writing the lyrics or something.
It was nuts.
I, you know, I'm, I'm a Midwest rural Missouri girl.
Yep.
Um, take that Midwest girl.
You know, and it's just who I am and it's just,
I try to tone it down, and so I'll say, oh, the F word, or I'll try to be more cognizant of my cussing, but it sometimes slips out.
So, apparently I'm intelligent, according to studies.
Right.
Smart people cuss.
Yeah, smart people cuss.
It also helps with pain.
You're supposed to scream out swear words when you're hurting and it's supposed to help with the pain.
Yeah.
These are all proved things.
Yeah, I could see that.
All right.
Well, cool.
We'll get it.
Peacock now.
All the S&L you can eat, the music one in particular.
So watch for that.
All right.
Here's what I watched.
The thing that I cannot believe I missed the first time because it's right up my alley.
I'm annoyed.
It took me so long.
I love the director.
I love the writer.
And I'm the same guy.
I love the actors.
I love everything about it.
And, of course, I loved it.
So here it is, and we'll talk about it.
Hey there, Mildred.
We didn't happen to pay a visit to the dentist today, did you?
No.
Huh?
I said, no.
Oh, so it wasn't you who drilled a little hole in one of big fat Jeffrey's big fat thumbnails, no?
Of course not.
Huh?
I said, of course not.
You drilled a hole in the dentist?
Denise, no, I didn't.
I thought it was kind of funny myself, but he wants to press charges, so we're going to have to bring you in, I'm afraid.
All right, clearly that's Woody, Harrelson, if you hadn't figured it out.
Um, this is three, three, three, go ahead.
What do you think?
You want to guess?
Three billboards in Missouri, right?
Yep, three billboards in Missouri.
Close.
You're so close.
Uh, it's three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri is the full, is the full name of the thing.
I knew it was in Missouri.
Yeah, no, you got it.
You nailed it.
Yeah.
It's your home state.
Uh, yeah, three board, three billboards outside of Ebbing Missouri, written and, uh, directed by
Martin McDonough, who, you know, from, uh, what's the recent Irish one?
I always forget the name.
Banshees-A-Sher.
Yeah, Banshees-A-Vin-Sheron.
He did Seven Psychopaths,
which is another great,
more American-focused one that he did.
That is a good one.
I love that movie.
It's great, really everything.
In Bruges is still one of my all-timers.
So good.
Such a great movie.
And anytime he makes anything,
I usually just, like, jump.
And for whatever reason,
this just missed me.
And I don't know why.
I just couldn't get around to it.
I think it won Best Actress.
The movie was up for Best Actress.
picture i don't think it won in 2017 though something else beat it um but you know all the awards
were getting thrown at this thing and i think sam rockwell got a best supporting didn't he i think
i think he did yes yes i think that's right anyway it was obviously it was obviously on stage
and it would have been for this yeah and he had his head was all shaved for some reason some
role he was in and everybody was like why is his head shaved i just remember all this for some reason
but anyway i really liked this movie and there's a bunch of reasons why i liked it but the biggest
I think is like in a Sharon in particular
it somehow manages to be tragic and funny at the same time
and I think that's hard really I just thought it was going to be depressing
no no like I would argue this is worth seeing because
you'll hear some of the subject matter some of the reasons that
that Francis McDormons character is motivated to do what she does
and I don't want to get into spoilers but you'll hear her reasoning and be like
man this is the most tragic story that's horrible but then somehow
this cast of characters and where everybody kind of ends up also makes you laugh a lot and smile a lot and also change your mind on certain characters. There's certain characters you think are a certain way and then later you kind of soften on them a little bit. There's a scene I think is kind of famous, but first time I saw it where I don't want to give anything away, but it's a very vulnerable scene for Woody Harrelson's character and Francis McDormon because they're kind of in a very opposition conversation and it's very heated and very like turning point.
kind of anger and then something happens again don't want to spoil it because it's a meaningful
moment and and everything changes how you react to the people in the scene and how they react
to each other and it's just such a great reminder of how complicated humanity is um and i didn't know
why any of this was in there i thought it was going to be quirky small town goofballs or whatever
but everybody's great sam rockwall puts in one of his best performances if if not his best
he's always good so it doesn't really matter he's never bad um
Um, Harrelson is great. What's the town again? Ewing. Abing. Ebbing. Ebbing. Ebbing. Yeah, E B, B, I and G. I don't know if it's a real town or not. I never check. Is it a real town? No, it's, it's based off a real story. Okay. So it might be, might be a, uh, all that stuff may be based on real stuff. I don't know. But there's like some, uh, interesting side characters in this. People like Lucas Hedges, Abby Cornish show up in this. Some people are having their star rise a little bit. The guy that really blew me away is the guy that played red, red web,
played by Caleb Landry Jones
I'd never even heard of this dude before
now I want to see anything he's in because
he's the dude that sells advertising in the town
and
reminded me a lot of
oh who's the redhead
um
yeah from
played Stephen Hawking
it is a fictional it is a fictional town
sorry okay
it may still be based on a real story but
whom I think the guy played
he was a working right no
Not him, not, although that's a good call, too.
It's the one, the one I'm thinking of is, um, shit from, uh, the mask and, uh, he was the
original Marty McFly. Stoltz, Eric Stoltz.
It's like a really young Eric Stoltz, like redhead, fiery redhead, very interesting actor
to watch.
He blew my mind in this. Um, kind of nobody's wasted.
Oh, Zekio Ivinik, this actor you've seen in everything always, like he's always in
everything you've ever seen, especially government things.
Let me scroll this down.
There he is.
that dude
he's great
very different role for him
he's finally not in the CIA
or you know
top government position
Peter Dinklage plays
the most unusual role
I've ever seen him in
like everybody's in this
including
Napoleon Dynamite's
grandma's in this
oh really
yeah
notice her right away
yeah Tina's in this
teena
Tina's the
the alpaca
or the
yeah
Yeah, go feed Tina.
The one that says, I guess somebody said,
we're all out of steaks and milk or whatever.
She had to go buy steaks.
Anyway, she's fantastic in this.
Cessadillo.
It's so good.
This movie is so good.
And I knew I was going into a good movie.
It clearly had all the accolades it needed.
I just was so slow to get around to it.
It's on Hulu.
So I was like, all right, I got that.
Let's do it.
And I loved it.
It apparently isn't any more because I just checked Hulu and I couldn't find it.
Oh, no.
I just left.
So you might actually have to
switch to
399 rental on Amazon Prime.
Because real good.com had it yesterday.
Now I'm annoyed.
I guess it probably left on the first.
Yeah, go ahead.
Here's why I thought
I mean, Missouri was a real town
because this is the kind of crap
that would happen where I grew up.
Like, seriously, police are corrupt.
or they're sort of corrupt
or like just weird
local
stuff happens
and it's like
well how do you make
how do you
how do you force someone
to face something
and I'm like
you know what I totally see
this actually happening in Missouri
yeah I mean that's what they were
trying to capture
yeah I think that's what they were trying to capture
and they do a really really good job of doing it
I take that back it's funny when I did a
search a minute ago. I wasn't fine. I went to
both Hulu and Disney Plus and I wasn't
finding it. But when I search and Google and say
three Billboard streaming,
it tries to direct me to
So does Real Good
and watch now, but when I go to Hulu
directly, Hulu.com, and search, it's now
it's gone now. Okay. Okay.
So, yeah, it's just the cast.
No services. They don't do it. They, no one, they have to do
that all manually, so they have to like.
My daughter is. You know what? Never trust
just watch a real good on the first of any month.
for that day don't trust it
oh right good point i forgot that we're in april second so that was probably a march
31st uh yeah i feel bad though because i was hoping it's really good
really loved it i was seen if it was on amazon prime
it is but it's rent you got to rent it you got to rent it well i recommend renting it
it's worth it rent it i do really hate how um especially
Netflix will keep the page
of the show.
So my daughter
is a glitter force
fanatic.
And they've had glitter force.
I don't know what that is.
Okay, it's an anime.
It's Japanese anime.
And she loves it so much.
And she's like,
she had watched it a few years ago.
And then she, for whatever reason,
thought of it again. And she's trying
to explain it to me. She couldn't remember
the
name. And so I'm like, I don't know what is. Are you sure this is not Sailor Moon? No, not Sailor Moon. So I use
ChachyPT to put in how she was describing it to me. And it told me it was Glitterforce. And I found it on
Netflix. And she's like, yes, that's it. Yeah, it's really good at doing that. And they had,
they took it off. They took it off in November. And she was just so sad. She's like,
Like, but it's there.
It's right there.
And I'm like, it's just a placeholder.
You should get her like a, you should get her like a, what's that?
Crunchyroll sub or something.
She probably like that.
Oh, yeah, there you go.
It's not there either.
We've looked everywhere for it.
We've looked everywhere for it.
There's probably a complex way to get it.
Mm, that's what you did to get her complex connection.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's, because it's, it's a, glitter force is the U.S.
version of of the Japanese which I can't remember at this time with what it was called but she just
loves it so much but I hate that these companies kind of set up these pages and just let them be
even when the the thing is not there yeah so it's it's frustrating I get it well I hope her glitter
force dreams come true sooner than later that's what I want well that's going to do it for today
now look all this stuff we talked about it's all going to be linked up at TMS.
Brian's already done it, so you have no excuse, except for Ebbing, Missouri, which you may have to rent to see.
That's a bummer.
Yes.
Do the Amazon, do the Amazon delayed delivery, and they'll give you digital dollars, and then you can just rent it that way.
Oh, yeah.
Forget it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I don't do that enough.
I get too impatient and go, no, I would like it today by five.
Don't be impatient.
Just, you know, say, yeah, sure, I can do it.
I'm never buying something on Amazon saying,
I'm going to need this in several days.
No, I need it now.
Yeah, I don't order anything.
I want it now, Daddy.
Yeah, I want it my hand right now.
Oh, great.
They give you like two or three dollars and then you can rent your movie and it's free.
No, that's a good idea, actually.
I need to do that more because there are certainly things I don't care about getting next day.
Of course.
Yeah, that's a good point.
All right.
Well, we're going to take that to heart.
Nicole Spagg, have a fantastic EKG while you're in there.
Thank you.
I'm hoping I have an email.
mail from my neurologist, but if not, I'm just going to go back to work.
Well, there you have it. Tell Mark, yell at Mark for something. We just love doing that.
I'll see you later. There she goes. All righty. We've done it, Brian. We've gotten to the end of
this here show, and I'm going to, I guess some stuff I'll save for tomorrow, but do you want to mention
this. There's some Zoom love from Michael. It's a little file I want to play. So let's hear what
he has to say about the Zoom. Whoops, that's the wrong. That's many billboards in Ebbing,
Missouri. Hold on. Here we are you. Hey, son. I just wanted to give some Zoom out here, because I discovered

And a Caveman. Well, let me tell you something. First of all, it sounds like you're still talking
into a first run, Model 1, Zoom. That's not the best phone quality I've ever heard. However,
Yeah, it comes through our new deal.
Yeah, it did.
It didn't.
It wasn't great.
That's usually a sign that your phone is either older or you've got your mic all mushed up in your clothes or something or who knows.
Or you're talking into something that you think is the microphone.
Yeah, it could be that.
But anyway, you, yeah, I mean, I've never heard anyone say, hey, I discovered you via Zoom, the Zoom podcast marketplace.
Did somebody squirt?
Did somebody squirt our show to you?
Yeah.
If not, take this squirt.
We love that you're here and glad that you can still get the show.
however you get it now on whatever that janky box is you recorded this on but it's good to have you here

All right. Good. Let's get to a request. This one is going out to Scott W., who goes by Chef Oman on the rare occasion, that he's able to listen live.
It says, you can play this any time. I just thought it was an awesome cover and wanted to share. Cheers. P.S., someday you'll play a Kit Bogga cover. There's a legit cover of this little light of mind that is genuinely good and actually uplifting.
At this point now, I feel like it's a streak that I'm going to maintain by not playing a Kit Bogia cover.
