Starting point is 00:00:54 On this episode of The Morning Stream. 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.
Starting point is 00:01:09 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
Starting point is 00:01:47 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
Starting point is 00:02:05 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.
Starting point is 00:02:23 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.
Starting point is 00:02:43 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,
Starting point is 00:03:07 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
Starting point is 00:03:21 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.
Starting point is 00:03:44 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.
Starting point is 00:04:06 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
Starting point is 00:04:22 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
Starting point is 00:04:38 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.
Starting point is 00:04:55 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?
Starting point is 00:05:12 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.
Starting point is 00:05:24 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,
Starting point is 00:05:57 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.
Starting point is 00:06:17 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.
Starting point is 00:06:33 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.
Starting point is 00:07:12 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.
Starting point is 00:07:30 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,
Starting point is 00:07:43 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.
Starting point is 00:07:58 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
Starting point is 00:08:18 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.
Starting point is 00:09:13 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.
Starting point is 00:09:30 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:08 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.
Starting point is 00:10:24 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
Starting point is 00:10:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:02 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.
Starting point is 00:11:34 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.
Starting point is 00:11:52 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
Starting point is 00:12:10 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.
Starting point is 00:12:23 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.
Starting point is 00:12:36 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
Starting point is 00:13:02 um water thunder ridge racer whatever it was called with the the water based one oh uh thunder um
Starting point is 00:13:14 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
Starting point is 00:13:27 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
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:14:00 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.
Starting point is 00:14:11 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.
Starting point is 00:14:21 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.
Starting point is 00:14:48 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
Starting point is 00:15:09 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.
Starting point is 00:15:26 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
Starting point is 00:15:42 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
Starting point is 00:16:03 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.
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:08 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,
Starting point is 00:17:29 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.
Starting point is 00:17:41 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.
Starting point is 00:17:53 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.
Starting point is 00:18:09 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.
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:45 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.
Starting point is 00:19:06 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.
Starting point is 00:19:22 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.
Starting point is 00:19:54 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.
Starting point is 00:20:13 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.
Starting point is 00:20:28 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.
Starting point is 00:20:50 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.
Starting point is 00:21:04 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.
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:33 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.
Starting point is 00:21:45 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
Starting point is 00:21:59 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
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:45 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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?
Starting point is 00:23:11 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?
Starting point is 00:23:22 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.
Starting point is 00:23:38 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.
Starting point is 00:23:49 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.
Starting point is 00:24:05 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.
Starting point is 00:24:28 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?
Starting point is 00:24:46 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.
Starting point is 00:24:56 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
Starting point is 00:25:07 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:38:24 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.

But then they did give Hugh Jackman the job, who is Australian, doing an American accent. Yeah, I didn't realize.
Starting point is 00:41:12 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?
Starting point is 00:41:25 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.
Starting point is 00:41:48 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.

Starting point is 00:42:48 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.
Starting point is 00:43:01 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.
Starting point is 00:43:20 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?
Starting point is 00:43:56 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.
Starting point is 00:44:12 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.
Starting point is 00:44:32 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.
Starting point is 00:44:50 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
Starting point is 00:45:06 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
Starting point is 00:45:22 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.
Starting point is 00:45:42 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.
Starting point is 00:45:54 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.
Starting point is 00:46:21 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,
Starting point is 00:46:42 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.
Starting point is 00:47:05 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.
Starting point is 00:47:18 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,
Starting point is 00:47:35 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.
Starting point is 00:48:07 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.
Starting point is 00:48:23 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.
Starting point is 00:48:51 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
Starting point is 00:49:32 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.
Starting point is 00:50:00 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...
Starting point is 00:50:16 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

Starting point is 00:50:43 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
Starting point is 00:50:54 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

Starting point is 00:56:58 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.
Starting point is 00:57:17 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.
Starting point is 00:57:39 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.
Starting point is 00:58:12 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
Starting point is 00:58:23 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
Starting point is 00:58:39 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.
Starting point is 00:58:57 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.
Starting point is 00:59:11 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.
Starting point is 00:59:26 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.
Starting point is 00:59:37 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
Starting point is 00:59:47 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
Starting point is 01:00:04 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.
Starting point is 01:00:21 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.
Starting point is 01:00:46 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.
Starting point is 01:01:40 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?
Starting point is 01:02:03 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.
Starting point is 01:02:30 You got that, right? Sorry. Fire Nation's here. Okay. Time to fight. Time to fight the Fire Nation. Time to fight. Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:58 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.
Starting point is 01:03:30 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.
Starting point is 01:03:53 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.
Starting point is 01:04:09 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
Starting point is 01:04:24 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
Starting point is 01:04:40 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.
Starting point is 01:05:07 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.
Starting point is 01:05:37 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
Starting point is 01:06:16 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
Starting point is 01:07:05 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.
Starting point is 01:07:25 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.
Starting point is 01:07:41 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.
Starting point is 01:08:05 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
Starting point is 01:08:21 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.
Starting point is 01:08:36 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.
Starting point is 01:09:02 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
Starting point is 01:09:34 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.
Starting point is 01:09:50 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.
Starting point is 01:10:07 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.
Starting point is 01:10:17 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.
Starting point is 01:10:29 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.
Starting point is 01:11:12 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.
Starting point is 01:11:34 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,
Starting point is 01:11:56 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.
Starting point is 01:12:12 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?
Starting point is 01:12:28 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.
Starting point is 01:12:58 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.
Starting point is 01:13:15 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.
Starting point is 01:13:35 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
Starting point is 01:14:22 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
Starting point is 01:14:43 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.
Starting point is 01:15:22 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.
Starting point is 01:15:45 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. Adele. Public Danny. Bob Dylan.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Willie Nelson. 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.
Starting point is 01:16:15 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
Starting point is 01:17:06 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.
Starting point is 01:17:45 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.
Starting point is 01:18:24 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
Starting point is 01:18:57 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.
Starting point is 01:19:29 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
Starting point is 01:19:47 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.
Starting point is 01:20:01 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
Starting point is 01:20:18 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
Starting point is 01:20:31 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.
Starting point is 01:20:42 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.
Starting point is 01:21:05 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.
Starting point is 01:21:29 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
Starting point is 01:21:50 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
Starting point is 01:22:04 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.
Starting point is 01:22:38 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
Starting point is 01:22:50 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
Starting point is 01:23:01 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.
Starting point is 01:23:24 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.
Starting point is 01:23:52 Yeah. Fascinating. Brian listens to it. Fascinating. You still listen, Brian. You still listen to that show. Yeah, I do. I still do.
Starting point is 01:23:59 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.
Starting point is 01:24:31 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.
Starting point is 01:24:54 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.
Starting point is 01:25:29 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.
Starting point is 01:26:02 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.
Starting point is 01:26:13 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.
Starting point is 01:26:27 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.
Starting point is 01:27:21 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.
Starting point is 01:28:08 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,
Starting point is 01:28:29 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.
Starting point is 01:28:57 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.
Starting point is 01:29:07 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.
Starting point is 01:29:17 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?
Starting point is 01:29:29 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.
Starting point is 01:29:53 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.
Starting point is 01:30:10 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?
Starting point is 01:30:27 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.
Starting point is 01:30:38 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.
Starting point is 01:30:51 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
Starting point is 01:31:17 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
Starting point is 01:31:48 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
Starting point is 01:32:53 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
Starting point is 01:33:37 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
Starting point is 01:33:54 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
Starting point is 01:34:21 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
Starting point is 01:34:32 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
Starting point is 01:34:44 oh really yeah notice her right away yeah Tina's in this teena Tina's the the alpaca or the
Starting point is 01:34:54 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.
Starting point is 01:35:06 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.
Starting point is 01:35:18 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.
Starting point is 01:35:35 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
Starting point is 01:35:55 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
Starting point is 01:36:07 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
Starting point is 01:36:22 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
Starting point is 01:36:38 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
Starting point is 01:36:58 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
Starting point is 01:37:26 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.
Starting point is 01:37:42 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,
Starting point is 01:38:18 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.
Starting point is 01:38:30 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
Starting point is 01:38:55 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.
Starting point is 01:39:34 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,
Starting point is 01:39:47 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.
Starting point is 01:40:03 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.

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.
Starting point is 01:41:23 Or you're talking into something that you think is the microphone. Yeah, it could be that.
