It's the morning stream for Monday, April 7th, 2025. Scott Johnson here, Brian Ibit there.

Hello. Hello. Happy brand new week to you. Yeah, it still has that new week smell, you know? It does, yeah. Let me just check my... People start getting in this week and stinking it up a little. Yeah, a little bit, yeah. I'm going to check my stocks here real quick.

Oh, shit. I shouldn't have looked. Oh, don't look at your stocks. No, that's a bad. Let me turn that ticker off. That looks like, oh, you know what? It's just flips upside down. I see what's going on here.

It's just upside down. Oh, there you go. It looks way better if you're flipping upside down. Yeah, everything's fine. Everything's fine as the room burns around us. all righty everybody we're glad you're here and we're happy to be here with you um i have to start the show today with a great story it's similar to one i've had before but uh this one was pretty epic because of what this dude was wearing so took the dog for a walk weather's been beautiful i think

it only capped out at around 60 yesterday but it was enough to you know get out in the sun take the dog around the lake you know getting ready for that time of year i love it yeah oh i love it too it's the best anticipation the real warm weather that's right so i go out there I'm doing that, and there are people everywhere. They've all got the same idea, it turns out. Everybody wants to go outside today or yesterday. So we're out there walking with the dog, and Rainer does this thing sometimes where, well, she does it every time. Once she pees or poops, she acts like she's burying it.

And we had a whole thing on the show about how that's actually an instinct to spread their mark around, not to bury it. Right, not to bury it, but to, like, kick the smell. It's funny, the whole kicking, like, they're just furiously kicking each leg back and forth. Yeah. And that was, you know, that was insightful at the time. But I think she's gone too far because here's what she did. She's done her business. It's a bit of a wet one. All right. Okay. I don't know. Gross anybody out. But she's, you know, whatever. It's what dogs do. And it happens. The guy was jogging by in these cream colored baggy jogging pants. Oh, my God. Cream colored. Like, I'm talking like, do I have a good example here somewhere? Like, like Mac S.E.30 beige?

Yes. Thank you. That's it. That kind of cream. Ask your uncle. Yeah. Ask somebody who has bought a computer in the early 90s. So he's, sorry, this guy's running past right where she is and I'm like, uh-oh. I can tell the timing's bad before it even starts because she's done and then she goes, and she catches with her foot about half a, half a stool, you might call it. okay and that wet blob of dog poo goes flying across the path and smack dab on the side of this guy's leg

just oh no really the timing the aim oh it was amazing it was amazing she'd never it was like winning the lottery he'll never make this shot again and um he just kept running he's running fast too so i didn't have the heart to go hey hold up uh you got up there's poo you know i didn't do that you know the even so he didn't notice the situation. Nope. Nope. He went on his day, man. He's living his life and probably got home and went, what the hell is this? And his wife said, ew, what stinks? And like I have a- Why do you smell? Did you poop yourself again, Phil? He kind of looked like a Phil. And no offense to any Phil's listening to the show, including our favorite Phil in Australia. Including a lucky Phil. But this guy looked like, if you can picture an American Phil,

fill in the blanks you know who I'm talking about this is exactly what this guy but he went home and I'm sure it went bad and I just I fell a little bad but what are you supposed to do what is the ethics there am I supposed to say hold up you got my dog kicked a poo on you you don't say that I think I would have I think I would have maybe would have said oh hold on a sec look I think yeah I mean I guess that's the only way to say it hold up I think my dog flicked poo on you I think is yeah I should have said something I feel I feel a little bad because but the problem is he was running fast and he also had big ear covering headphones on so i don't even know if you'd have heard me you know it's not a great excuse like i don't know

if he would have heard me is my answer but the truth is i still should have said something if he didn't hear me fine at least i would have said something but i was kind of caught off guard i was like shit and that pisses me off the um because look if you're out there riding your bike and you're wearing big old freaking sound blocker earphones you will get you will get you'll get yelled at you might even get a ticket the police will will pull you over because you can't hear cars coming you can't hear other you know other noises etc and the same should be true for for runners because if you're on a path and a bicyclist comes up beside behind you and says coming up on your left and then you cross over not hearing them and and hurt yourself guess what

your own fault yeah remember that guy on your bike you videotaped it that one time remember videotaped him he's just sitting there on his skateboard like you're and weaving back and forth across the uh that guy i mean you could hear it you could hear it in your voice it was one of these videos where oh yeah i know we played it on the show and if anyone remembers but you could tell brian's like on your left on your left yeah on your left this kid wouldn't move he finally didn't hear me like he never did hear me until i was next to him and i gave him the look i gave him the dirtiest damn look yeah that that a guy wearing a tight

spandex Spider-Man outfit could give. Yeah, that's right. So be careful out there everybody is the lesson. Also, yeah, I'm in retrospect. I should have tried, but he was moving so fast. I'm not sure I could have done shit. Well, and the fact that he had headphones, I don't think he, I don't think he would have heard you. So, um, you know what? You, you, you could have pulled a Spider-Man. Don't stop. Wait, please. Don't go kill my uncle Ben.

Wait a second. Anyway, and then turn the other way. I just let him, I just let him get away. Instead of on your left, I should have said, on your pants. That's what I should have said. On your pants. On your pants. Anyway, that was fun.

Enjoyed that. That's great. Beautiful weather, though. We're having that thing again today. It's like 72 today. So excited. You're going to get out there on the, you getting on the bike? What are you doing, man?

You got to prep that thing? I have to today. I went, I did, oh no, I did treadmill yesterday. doing bike today. Yeah. But, yeah, no, 65 today, which is kind of my, that's my, the, the alarm goes off. If the, if the temperature gets to 65 or higher, something goes off and says, you must go on the bicycle. No sitting on bum today.

No sitting on bum on bike. Yeah. Sit on bum on bike. Sit on bum on bike. It's a good title. Somebody get on that. We'll say it that way during the final moments of the show. I don't say that the whole time during the MS-150.

Sit on bum on bike. It's a good reminder to people who don't listen to the live show. If you're listening to the podcast, no problem. We love you anyway. You're 99% of the people. All right, so don't feel bad. But if you're like, man, I'd sure love to submit a title. You guys said something that no one picked up on.

Come watch the show live. You can submit them in real time. It's freaking fun. You can submit and go sit on bum on bike. Yeah, sit on bum on bike. All yours. Yeah, you could have laptop on lap while bum on bike and submit title from there. do that right uh all right we got a phone call we got to play this is from jason r i assume it's

rightman from uh you know it's definitely is ivin rightman's son uh director of many fine films yeah including that recent s&l thing uh saturday night whatever was called so uh he's having a moment and i decided to take a little bit out of his time to call us about black coffee so here you go hey scott and brian this is for tms uh just calling to comment on your distaste or distrust for black coffee, I want you to try something. Go to a coffee shop that roats their own beans, get some beans or get a cup there of coffee that was roasted in the last two weeks, okay, and is a light roast from a single source and tell me if it doesn't taste better.

Now, you know, most of people I tell this too don't still don't like to drink it black. but they can tell a difference and you could taste a lot more notes of fruits and chocolates and things like that it's really worth a try and that is what changed me to black coffee chuck sent us or chuck brought us a bag of something that's sort of like this where you smell it and you're like oh that doesn't smell like like straight coffee bean these are like something special about these beans so we're going to try i'm going to try that because i am i don't like i kind of don't like the taste of any sort of coffee you really have to butter it up and by the time you do that it's too much sugar for me anyway

So I'm not really a coffee guy, but as somebody who just abhors the idea of putting black coffee in my mouth, I just can't do it. I know. And I don't think you like it any more than I do, as far as I know, right? No, I'm not a, I, my stepdad was a huge black coffee drinker. And every once in a while I'd try it and be like, nope, I've got to add milk. I've got to add sugar. And back then it was like, you know, it was milk with a tiny little bit of coffee in there. sugary milk with a little tiny bit of coffee.

Do you have any of your family? My grandma had Sanka. That's how old school she was. Oh, wow. I mean, we, listen, there's something to be said for freeze-dried coffee. It's still coffee. It is still, you know, you are drinking coffee. You're just drinking coffee that's been prepared and then a process to just reconstituted, right?

Yeah, or deconstituted, I guess. And you're reconstituting it. Yeah. Um, the, uh, when we, back in the 90s or early 2000s, a trip to the MGM Grand. And I had, for the first time ever had coffee that I said, I need to find out where you're getting this coffee because this is the best coffee I've ever had. And, um, it took two trips to finally find out it was freeze dried, Dewey Egbert's, um, pure gold, uh, freeze dried coffee. And that's how you discovered that? Because you love that brand. You've talked about that before. and we keep and we can only buy it from Europe you can't get them you you order through

Amazon who gets it imports it oh gosh can't imagine can't imagine what's going to happen now but the uh the Tina it's the only coffee that Tina will um will drink on a regular basis and so I have to make sure I keep that stuff stocked I'm going to obviously I do the Panera thing and I use an aeropress which I'm really enjoying the aeropress I just need to get the right grind coffee because I'm using an airpress with French press grounds. It needs to be a tighter grind. But the

Dewey Egbert stuff is great. Benjian says, just drink American coffees. There are very few American coffees because the climate up here is not conducive to coffee growth. Coffee being growing. So everyone's always like It's okay if we're tear up to hell out of them, Brazilians,

we'll make our own coffee. I'm like, no. That's not how it works. You know, We have a wine country, Napa, Sonoma County, in California, wonderful wines that come out of that region. But you can't tell, you can't tell me that there's like, oh, yes, coffee, coffee country in the U.S. is in this state or this county or this city. And it's like, yeah, no, coffee, you know, Colombian, Ethiopian, some Peruvian. Hawaii, does Hawaii make a coffee, do they? They do Kona, Kona coffee, and it's super expensive. Yeah, it might be our only option for a while.

No, I did. I think I'm not just adopting a civet cat and just making my own poop, cat poop coffee. Yeah, I might just make it out of my own poop. Let's see how that goes. I got to eat the beans first, though, right? Kind of whole. Got to eat them and then. Yeah, you have to eat them whole.

And then when you poop them out, you fish through your poop, find the beans, and then roast them. I'll get Rainer to do it. She'll eat anything. there you go. Yeah, she might do it. I think they wash the beans. Oh, yeah. I'm sure they do, right? They have to. This is an assumption you have to make or else you're going to go mad. I would assume so, yeah. Yeah. Real quick here, someone said I didn't get Benjian sarcasm. No, I got it. I got it. But it's also worth bringing up that we can't grow coffee here. Not in the lower 48. We're kind of screwed when it comes up. Hawaii, great coffee, but I feel like, I feel like tariffed coffee from other countries is still going to be cheaper than. an untariffed coffee from Hawaii. Yep. Yep. And also I wouldn't be surprised.

Well, that's all I'll say about that. Anyway, thank you, Jason Reitman. It says Jason R, but I'm just sure he's the filmmaker. I'm just sure of it. It's definitely Jason Wrightman. Absolutely. Got to be. All right.

Big schedule note, PSA for all those folks at home and listening live. Normally the show. We're warning you with peace and love. We're warning you with peace and love. Wait a minute. I just pulled those tab more handy. Where did they go? it is. No more fan mail.

Peace of love, piece of love. There you go. This is a peace and love moment. Let's see. No more fan mail. I think that's worth two really quick piece and love. Just throw up in there. Yeah. We're going to have to let you go. We've got to make some budget cuts. Peace and Love, peace and love.

The third quarter projections aren't looking really good, so we're actually going to have to close the whole department peace and love. Yeah, we're laying off 20,000 of you, peace and love, peace and love. Peace love, peace and love, peace and love, piece and love, piece and love. Exactly. That's the rest of the whole speech. It's perfect. Anyway, sorry. So here's the PSA. Tomorrow, normally there'd be a show on Tuesday. This week, there will not be a show on Tuesday. Why? Brian's going to his wonderful grandmother's funeral. That's happening tomorrow.

And as a result, I'm taking the opportunity to go see my mom in the morning because it's the best time to see her between PT stuff. So Brian's going to go to a funeral. I'm going to go see my mom who, hopefully is a long way from a funeral. Oh, God, yes. We're working on that, you know, trying to stave it off. Anyway, as a result, that means no TMS tomorrow. The rest of the schedule, pretty much unaffected. Yeah, Kim and I, I'll be back by noon to do skim and stuff. So all should be fine.

I'm sure daily tech or daily music headlines will be covered in some way, probably by you. Eileen's covering daily music headlines tomorrow. And then I think she's, so this week she's doing Tuesday and Thursday. I can't wait to hear, you know, her version of the show, because I think we're going to learn from each other. Or, you know what, I'm going to learn from her. Let's face it. It's, you know, Eileen's a pro. She's been doing this, and I'm going to learn some techniques from her.

Eileen Pro is going to cost you 15 a month for Eileen Pro. I know. I keep waiting for the Eileen Nano. Yeah. Oh, boy. Got a good capacity on it, though. When do they get home? They're home now?

Or when did they get back? They're home now. They're home. They're back. All right. That means Tom this week, so that'll be good. But a normal week otherwise, but just letting you guys know ahead of time. So there's no confusion.

And I'm sure someone will still ask. And it's fine that you do. But there is no show tomorrow. Funeral. Mom visit. As you say, if you need the, if people need the symmetry, I will be driving my mom along with Tina and Tristan, the hour and a half out to brush tomorrow morning and back.

So there will be, I will get plenty of mom time. myself on the way to the funeral. Yeah. Well, our condolences across the board to everyone in the family, especially your mom. I know she was really close with your mom and stuff. Yeah, good stuff. Chat room, or 9-12, actually said

something about Peter Murphy. What was the news about Peter Murphy? Because I love Peter Murphy. Tell me he didn't die or he's like sick or something. I don't know. I'm finally catching up on that. Thanks for the Peter Murphy heads up. Oh, just that I think Bauhaus is reuniting for a tour or something. What?

I love Bauhaus. I love Peter Murphy. Yeah. Yeah, I think that was the deal. Oh, that's great. Listen, I sometimes forget a lot of the previous day's headlines. Guess what a daily does to you, no matter what kind of daily it is? It does. Yeah. It's like this show. We forget half the shit. That's it. New album, the single is out from Bowhouse, right?

September, or is it just Peter Murphy? Oh, it is just Peter Murphy. Either way. You know the way you will survive. I freaking love that guy. Yeah, he's great. Eat him up. Eat you up, spit you out in that song, he says, right? Chew you up and spit you out.

Chew you up and spit you out. Oh, that's so good. And Trent Reznor's on the album? Or just someone else named Trent. Trent. Trent Rezner's on the album there. So obviously you know that the Tron, Aries, soundtrack is nine inch nails.

Yeah. That's the thing, though. It's nine inch nails, not Atticus Ross and Trent Resner. It's the whole band. Social network and challengers and other things. It's been Atticus and Trent. And for this one, they're like, no, we wanted to do this one. Even though it's

the same people, we wanted to do this one as nine inch nails because it's a darker, grittier sound than the stuff we've done for the other sound. It's also, it's perfect because at the end of that trailer, that shows up and everyone lost their collective shit, even though we knew this prior. Most people knew this prior. A lot of people were paying attention to this. But when that popped at the end of the trailer, I've got friends who were like, I wasn't even thinking about that movie. And I didn't just nails.

Holy shit, I'm back in, man. Let's go. Let's get some try. You know? Not exactly like that, but, you know, close to it. That's exactly what they should sound like. Yeah. Those are my friends, everybody.

Well, all right, then. this is all exciting stuff so tomorrow reminder tomorrow no show okay don't show up uh don't worry Travis will be here one following earth week uh he is he has agreed to be there so scott did not like my idea to have uh Ken Jennings sub in for me tomorrow uh to play uh with Travis who was not too close to home he's too close to home he's from Utah I don't want to I don't want to deal with that guy oh that's the reason gotcha that's 100% the reason he used to cheat at board games with my sister that's actually not true he would just dominate he was really good.

So I don't want to have a guy. I was really good. I mean, Brian's great. But Brian's equal. We're equal good. I don't want someone who's better than us. I don't want that. Yeah.

That'll left the show up for life. All right. Let's get a little game going. We're going to add Dunaway to the call. And I always look forward to this. Let's see here. Is he going by these days, Brian guy? He is logged in the game, so we're good there.

Excellent. Okay. Add, here we go. He's being called. Open up the window. That's the stream. This one's for me. Okay. Let's see what happens. He's ringing. We're ringing. Gotta show him what I got in the mail.

Oh, yeah. I like that. Look who it is. It's our old pal Brian Dunaway joining us for the Monday morning half-asses. Monday morning half-asses? The Monday half-asses. How do we say it? Monday half-asses. The Monday half-asses. Half-ass Monday. Really just half-asses is really the. That's true. We don't care when we do it. Monday doesn't matter. Anyway, Brian, Dunaway. Hi, Brian. How are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Happy Monday morning, half, what would you call it?

Half asses, man. Hey, hey, man. I wish our guys would stop talking about stuff I want to talk about before you get me on the show. Yeah, you got to get your single source coffee, baby. Oh, hello. I keep forgetting you're a coffee drinker, too. You like your single source. Does that come with a really huge oversized scarf? that you have to wear, uh, 12 months out of the year.

Wee, we, we, we. And, uh, I, I like to roast my, I like to roast my own beans. It's a lot of fun and, and, uh, and, uh, yeah, yeah, uh, was it, rightman? Who'd you say? It wasn't really a rightman. Jason said, no, Jason, yeah. I agree. You want, you want, you want, like, within that two week window is so buttery.

It is just, it's not like anything else you've ever had. Do you roast your beans in like a, um, uh, a, uh, a PlayStation, too with no fan. Absolutely. I got a big old trait. No, you can't do it in your oven, but if you do it, if you like darker roast, it smells like burnt popcorn. I have a couple of little

smaller, almost like not ceramic, but something like that. And it's kind of a bowl and you can, and you roast it outside and then you blow the chafes off, and it's pretty good. You know, I think the hottest console to cook anything with

would have been the OG PS3. they were like that's what i was thinking it was originally it was the PS3 because i have one is that that thing did get really got really hot and got really loud it sounded like a jet airplane just going wah on the other side of the room and then yeah the slims were better nothing is yeah oh yeah nothing's hotter than a plasma tv though man you could you could really make some heat oh yeah plasmas are turned the air down it's time for some plasma tv i did this so speak you which oh yeah go ahead oh good no you go ahead

uh something came in the mail for me yesterday ordered it, and it just arrived. The RF to HDMI box, little analog box, and that is literally the only English text on this thing is RF to HDMI. The rest of this is covered

with Chinese characters that I, you know, will never decide. That's awesome. Yes, and it gets terrible reviews on Amazon because the on-screen display comes in Chinese and you have to figure out how to do that. And once you get into that, you realize that that the remote control has one through

you know, nine and then a zero in there, but it's not pre-programmed. So if you hit Channel 3, it's not U.S. Channel 3. It's just some random, you know, hurts that they felt like they would apply to it. So you've got to program that. So yeah, there's a few steps. What if I use this with a monitor, like a, just a monitor with an HDMI in? That's hopefully what you're going to do. That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Good. So I don't have to find something with a Channel 3 on it. Thank God. No, no, you don't. But yeah, but you do have to receive the signal has to come in on three or four based on the unit that you're using your Atari system. But so, yeah, you don't actually, it processes everything. It's a tuner is what it is.

The tuner is you're saying. So this thing, this thing actually has a channel three. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, it's faking what our TVs used to do, right? Yeah. And then it outputs from there. What I was going to tell you real quick, dial it in.

Something I learned. So this giant flashlight that I've shown on the show before, it's really bright and hot. it's powerful Here's the thing It puts off like I can feel the heat Like major heat from here So I found out the other day

Because Van grabbed the front And I freaked out It shuts off if you touch the top Isn't that cool? Oh look at that To protect so it doesn't burn Through your fingers Yeah

Kind of nice We were worried about hiding these from all the kids But it turns out They can't actually do much They just cover it Oh well that makes me sad now Because as a child

I would do that And look at the veins in my hand Or I was stick at my mouth And you know Watch the glow shoot out of my eyes It was great. Yeah, it was great. Ooh, I'm going to do that later.

Maybe that's my, maybe that's my opinion. I don't bet you can. I don't know if you can. Oh, good point. Let's try it. Let's just try it. All right. That's the price.

It's good. I'd love that you had to hold your breath. Yeah, exactly. It didn't work. Were you afraid you're going to inhale the light? Oh, really? Did it get hot? It didn't turn off either.

So now that's why I was, I figured if I, I don't know why I held my breath. That's weird. My tongue. Ah! I should have blown it. blown out instead of sucked in. Well, all right. Let's get to this game. We're going to play a game. Brian's prepared it. We have it. Tell us how it works and what we might win for who.

Sure. Welcome to the morning. Half ass is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers. Three of those answers are correct and three like sticking a flashlight in your mouth is way, way, way wrong. Depending on how confident you feel with the category you can provide one, two, or three. three guesses. But if you get any of those guesses wrong, you get zero points for the round. Get one right, you get a point. Two right gets you three points. Three right gets you five

points. We're going to add up all those points after three rounds. And one of you is going to win a prize for a contestant that's just not here. Not here. Just physically. They're here mentally and they're here emotionally. They haven't checked out. They're just not here live. Scott,

you're going to be playing for Philippe Des Saint-Croix in Manchester, UK. Ooh, a French guy hanging out up there. Wee, we, to him in Poohoo. Brian, you're going to be playing for Rob Noah in Muskego, Wisconsin. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yep.

Oh, my gosh, dude. That was that Wolfman Jackie just did? It can be. Holy shit. I haven't heard that in a while. You know you had one of those in you. All right. Let's get to the game here.

Start with round one, and I like to give you a nice little softball for round one. So this is easy. Planets in the Star Wars movies. Which of these are planets that could be found in the Star Wars movies? Your choices are. Kolob, Shikasta, Camino, Risa, Alderan, and La Mou. La Mou. I like that one.

Okay, well. La Mue. I don't think it's Colob. I don't see Pluto on here. You do not see Pluto. Because that's Pluto's a dwarf planet in the Star Wars universe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely not Riza.

I'm pretty sure that one is. I'm pretty sure Shasta's one, right? Shasta. Yeah, it's the knockoff. Shasta. King Super's version of the other Star Wars planets. All right. I'm locking in.

I think this is right. I'm pretty sure on those two. There's a third one, but I'm not sure. I say pretty sure. I'm sure I'm wrong. yeah all right you guys both alderon of course the alderan system they all ever talk about is alderan yeah exactly alder on this and alder on that um you also

Scott you said Camino that's right Camino is the um the planet well the all the clones that's right Camino's clone it should be Camino and see there are so many clones yeah that's right uh now Brian yeah uh what's the name of the pleasure planet in uh Tr. Fine. Fine. I knew it sounded familiar. Yeah.

That's okay because Scott got Shikostarung. La Mood is the other one. So zero points all around. Damn it. So much for my softball. You guys, you couldn't even, I lobbed that one gently over the plate and you guys both couldn't. What is the Mew? Where is how's the Mew fit into the, or Lamu?

Let's find that. Just curious. Where Chewbacca goes to. That is. It is COLA. I don't know. Let's see. Sparsely inhabited backwater

whose rich soil and groundwater contaminated by minerals and other elements. It is in Passing conversation is what is in. Oh, the Erso family fled to Lamu from Corrassant. Oh. So it's where Jen or so.

Okay. So it's a hideout. It's a hideout. Yeah. It's like a hideout. It's like a hideout. Rogue one. the Rogue One planet Gotcha, okay I just watched that like two weeks ago

You're like man This Ricea planet is awesome You said to yourself All you watched it It sounded right and I was like I clicked it and I was like Yeah that sounds right And I was like

That doesn't sound right But I'm not sure Going with it going with it Yeah is it right Rice is where Wesley Crusher got in trouble right Steped on the flower And I had to go

Oh he didn't just step on it Oh don't act like he just Actually stepped on a flower Come on he ran through the protective greenhouse of flower protection. Yeah, I still think it's a little much to demand his death, though. I still

think that was a bit harsh. That's all. Eh, yeah. Oh, well. All right. All right. Let's get to question two. Let's go to geography and language. Which of these are countries

where Portuguese is the official or is an official language? That should be is an official language, not is the official language. Your choices are Belize, Panama, Argentina, Mozambique, Angola, and Sao Tomei.

Holy shit. Officially all of these. There's not a single one on here who doesn't officially speak Portuguese. Oh my God, I don't know. I don't know either. I'm going to guess a couple of them. I don't think Argentina or Panama.

Oh, you don't? Well, I don't know. I mean, I could be missing guiding you for a long. You know. Well, I doubt. it. I'm choosing to know the answer to, you know. I mean, you'll notice significantly missing from this list is Brazil, which is, you know. In Portugal. Oh, in Portugal, yeah. The origin of the language in question. Right, exactly. Okay, you guys are both locked in. You locked in on four different ones, two each.

Oh, nice. And Mozambique is a country where Portuguese is an official language. Yeah, of course. Angola is a country where Portuguese is the official language. Okay, okay. Now, each of you chose a different one. And they're both wrong. Ah, shit.

Nope, it's all three on the right side. Now, Tomei is the other one. Oh, I loved her and my cousin Vinny. But other than that. Yeah. Yeah, Argentina, let's see, Belize, English is the official language, Panama Spanish, and Argentina Spanish. It's the official language on both of those. Well, there you go.

Damn, I'll do it. Learned a little something there. Well, let's, I have a real high hoaxing in. Zero points. Cruising in, baby, let's do it. To nature, science and nature. Which of these six are varieties of orchid? You know, if you watched, what was that movie with Nicholas?

Age adaptation. You learned all about orchids and different. Yeah, I only saw that 15 years ago. I never saw it at all. Never once. Oh. Oh, really? Yep.

You should. I really should. Anyway, which of these are varieties of orchid? Your choices are Desdemona, vanilla, barkeria, orsino, Gongora, and Perdita. Oh, my gosh. I should ask my doctor. We should ask Dr. Tolbert if any of these are right for us. All right.

Exactly. They all sound like sublime songs to me. poop poop it's mona I ain't got vanilla orchid I'm trying to put them

in my mind in my in a sentence yeah sure oh that's an orcino hasn't said right all right I'm going to go

can't really lose here or I can't I guess it's going with two okay all right you went with two Brian went with one

Um, the only one that I was 100% sure on when I took this test myself was vanilla. I knew vanilla is a, it's a variety of orchid. Okay. I should have told. Um, Barkeria. So Brian chose one and he chose Barkeria. Yeah. Right.

Might be pronounced Barkeria. I don't know. That's a dog. Barkeria. That's when your dog has the shits. It's got barkeria. That's right. Barkeria.

Uh, and I will say, that Barkeria is a variety of orchids. So Brian right now has a point. Okay. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Scott, you've also got a point because you chose vanilla. Let's see. Hold on. Did you say, before you do that, did you say

Brian has a point? Did you say that? Brian. Because I have that file right here. I'd like to play it for everybody because why not go back? Here we go. Allow me to off you. No, that's not it. All right. I don't have it. Never mind. Keep going. Okay. What a waste of time that was. I used to have Fletcher. It's part of that group. that I lost, but it used to say, Brian

has a point, and I can't find it. Anyway. So, Scott, your other choice was, Perdita. Uh-huh. Peridita Orsino and Desdemona are all Shakespearean characters Brian with one point. One point, Andrea, wins

it. Ah, man, I mean, look, we're all American first these days. So I'm glad your American guy won, but I was really pulling for the French. Oh, French vanilla. I was, ha, nicely done. Oh, nice.

Hey, that means that, Brian, you win the prize for Rob Noah and Muskego, Wisconsin. Rob, you're getting a copy of Hands of Necromancy and White Noise Online from Steam. Courtesy of Norm, big thanks to Norm for sending these codes over to us. I can't imagine the fun of white noise online. It sounds like a game that would put me to sleep. Yeah, keep you from waking up in the middle of the night. That's great. So, Philip, yeah, what did he win?

Tell me his games. Philip gets King's Bounty 2. Oh, that's good. For some reason has two. Oh, that's two. Never mind. That second thing, I'm cutting that out. That actually looked like continuation of the code because the name of the game looks like part of the steam code.

Oh, weird. Okay. That's why I'm taking that out. So King's Bounty 2 is going. That's a good one. That's a great game, yeah. You didn't really lose. You kind of won in a weird way.

Yeah, a bunch of winners today. Yeah, nicely done everybody. That's awesome. Well, done away. Good job. Now, some of you may say to yourselves, wasn't there supposed to be a play retro last Friday? Oh, there sure was. Yes. But one of us had Tonkatsu ramen and forgot that that gives him diarrhea. I won't tell you which one of us it is, but it kind of killed the rest of that afternoon. Why not both? Why not both? So as a result, we're doing it today, 4 p.m. 4 o'clock p.m. today later this afternoon, we will be meeting up together and doing that episode. So check it out of front. It's a probe, because I got my, and it's actually worked out because the comic books I ordered for the Quest Probe series didn't come in until right as the show would have begun. And, you know, I just ran to the bathroom with my comics and had the poops. Yeah, it wasn't him. It wasn't wrong. Oh, really? Okay. I totally thought that was Scott.

No. It really is. Yeah. So I got the comics, so I got a chance to look at them before the show. That's awesome. So look, that delay actually worked in everybody's favor. So check it out. Except one of us.

Brian Donaway, kiss our butts. We'll see you soon. I got him before he could even reply. Totally did. Take that jerk. All right. Well done, everybody. Let's get into some quick news.

We have some stories and we're going to tell them. Here we go. It's time for the news. Brought to you by. Brought to you by Daily Music Headlines at DailyMusicheadlines. Go subscribe. There's no reason not to. In addition to talking about the Neutron Ares soundtrack from 9-inch

We talk about Duolipa performing a song with one of my favorite New Zealanders during her tour. She's been going out on tour and performing local, like songs relevant locally to each place that she goes. So you'll find out about that. You'll find out about South by Southwest London and their musical special guests. The Pretenders, the Ezra Collective. Ooh, what does Apple Music now have for Windows users find out in today's episode of Daily Music? Headlines at Daily Music Headlines.com. Very, very nice.

Let's get into this news story here. Idaho Governor in the news. Oh, by the way, by the way, so they were, we had record turnout at the Salt Lake hands off thing. I know Tina went. Did she have a, how did it go at the? It went really well for it. It was a really good experience for her.

She saw some amazing signs. She had to take pictures of some of the best signs and send them to me. And, yeah, huge, huge. turnout record turnout here too and and i don't i saw photos from my dad and stepmom's um trip out in uh got right at the base of the washington monument in washington dc for the hands-off one there and uh really just just an amazing uh turn out all around yeah wendy said it was like 22 000 people at st paul alone it was like some insane number like that boston looked insane to me but you know everyone always goes in utah red state you

should see how weird we are here this thing we had thousands of people show up at the state capital and we're not even that big of a city but it was pretty good anyway idaho in the news they had a decent turnout too by the way boisey had a big turnout of all places uh idaho governor signs a bill criminalizing public breast exposure and truck nuts yeah so brian you can't show your boob or your truck nuts or i can't i have to take the truck nuts off of my kia soul if i go to Idaho, apparently. Right. And I also wear my truck nuts on my boob. So I'm in big trouble. Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. House Bill 270 updates Idaho's Indecency Exposure Law or indecent exposure law, which already bans public exposure of genitals to include female breasts. Male breasts altered to look like female breasts. What if we're just growing into it, you know? What if it's just...

Yeah, altered, you mean because I can't stop eating Twinkies? Is that the, is that altering? Yeah. What if I just got me? man boobies. I guess, okay, they're just talking about transgender surgery. Oh, is that what they mean? Probably, the jerks. Yeah. Artificial breasts and toys or products that resemble genitals. Breastfeeding is exempt. You can pop it out and feed the baby if you want to. Yeah. Even if it's me. I mean, I lactate occasionally. The bill takes effect immediately, although an emergency clause, through an emergency clause. Little signed, this is the name of the governor, Governor Little. Little signed the bill, the bill on Wednesday, according to the governor's office and their legislation tracker. Supporters say the bill will protect decency and modernize Idaho's

indecent exposure law. Opponents say it could unduly punish trans injure Idahoans. I love that they're Idahoans. Love that name. Utahans is boring and lame, but Idahoans. That's cool. Idahoans, because you have to, you can't say idens, idans, idans, or idites or Ida. Yeah, yeah. Like Colorado, we have Coloradoans and Coloradoans. And you can, and both of them work. But because Idaho doesn't really have that strong, um, uh, heavy syllable, heavy consonant right before the O, uh, Idaho, you can't do Idahoans. Yeah, it just doesn't work.

Idahoan. I don't work. Yeah, you're right. Idahoan. I like it. It says that this also could affect dudes that just have hormonal conditions that enlarge their breasts, which is a thing. That's the thing. So, you know, I doubt they thought that much about it. Anyway, the supermajority controlled legislature widely passed the bill with support from 87 Republican state lawmakers and opposition from 14 Democratic state lawmakers. Bill is co-sponsored by this guy. We don't care about that. let's see debating the deal this week in the Senate Lenny head of the Senate said that the bill deals with a real problem of people exposing themselves quote I've heard arguments on the bill that this is somehow sorry said this somehow sexualizes breasts

I don't think we need a bill to do that he said I think that has been happening since the Garden of Eden and it's going to continue happening forever I agree leave people's boobies alone exactly let them have them out they're their boobs It's the Garden of Eden, if you believe in. Well, yeah, I guess if you're a bit, if you buy into it. It said Idaho Senate Minority Leader, Melissa Widrow, De Boisey, or sorry, Democrat from De Boisey, from Boisey, argued the bill violates first man right criminalizing expression that, quote, we don't like. So, yeah.

Anyway, Idaho, well done. You kind of, your legislature sucks like everybody else's. Good job. So if you like to look at naked breasts, the best place to go right now is Idaho. because there's going to be so many protests of free the nipple and all that stuff that, you know, there wouldn't have been exposed breasts in Idaho, as many exposed breasts in Idaho until this thing came through. Yeah. You're going to see tons of exposed breasts.

Yeah. Literal tons. And everybody there is going to buy truck nuts. Yeah, they didn't even get into the truck nuts. But they're very much in the story. That's kind of a secondary part of this. But part of this is, and this is where I think they may be. are poking the bear because there are dudes up there with big old trucks that love their truck

nuts they are into it so you may be uh we may be seeing a little bit of a bipartisan uh blowback on this one because the truck nuts people are not going to be happy about it uh England they did some they did something weird to increase church attendance this is kind of a thing all around the world everyone's losing people like people are living churches by the by the droves well England uh has created the wrestling church, and they are seeking converts with baptisms and body slams. Yes, that's right. You go into this church and you sit around a wrestling ring. Perfect.

That's what you want from your religious experience, right, Brian? You want to go in there and... That might... I'm not a big wrestling fan, but that might pique my interest in going to church. Yeah, it's a little bit more than usual. It says churchgoers roared his local hero, Billy O'Keefe. Ah, Billy O'Keefe. he body slammed a fighter named Discipline or I'm sorry

Disciple Okay Disciple Beneath, let's see Beneath stained glass windows They whooped and cheered as burly tattooed wrestlers Jumped into the aisle during a six-man tag team batch Let's see

The Wrestling Church which brings blood, sweat and tears, mostly sweat To St. Peter's Anglican Church in the Northern England town of Shipley I've heard of that I've heard of Shipley yeah sure that exists right is the creation of gareth thompson a charismatic 37 year old says he was saved by pro wrestling and jesus

an equal order i'm sure jesus pro wrestling first he was saved by pro wrestling oh and by the way jesus yeah and jesus too he says that the reason this is a natural fit is quote it boils it all down to the basics it's good versus evil he said when i became a christian i started seeing the wrestling

wrestling world through christian lenses I started seeing David and Goliath. I started seeing Cain and Abel. I started seeing Esau having his heritage stolen from him. And I was like, we could tell these stories with wrestling. With wrestling. Is Jesus the face or the heel in this scenario? It's a good question.

I don't know if anyone ever actually gets into Jesus clothes and puts on the crown and goes out there and does anything. Let's walk on music. I kind of want to see it. Bitch, get out the way. Get out of the way. What is his intro song, all that? Here's the, here's a look at the, what this looks like. So that's the room.

That's kind of, that's kind of cool. It's kind of badass, yeah. I think it looks cool. I'll give them that. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think mixing religion and wrestling is a little odd, but whatever. That's awesome. Who am I to judge?

Look at her up there. Okay, everybody. We're about to see some real blood bath here, but don't forget to, it's, go to the clostrum or whatever it's called what's it called and confess your sins i don't know what that's called colostrum i think is early breast milk i don't know why i'm saying that cloister cloister is that a cloister no cloister you're talking about confessional right confessional that's what i meant was confessional damn it's not even close to claustrum no it's pray eat wrestle repeat oh that's prophet yeah profit yeah there's the character from the boys.

Yeah. What's her face? Carlyte. Holding her. Yeah. Holding her winnings. Oh man. Look at these guys going at it. They got refs and the striped stuff and everything. Look at these guys. Who is he? Is he like Moses? Damn.

The 10 or no, the 15. The 10 commandments. Oops. Anyway. Good luck to them and may all their conversions be exciting, I guess. Yeah, for sure. Yes. Here's a fun story for you I don't know why I missed this

I was going to say we were doing the Jenga story I hope because Yeah let's do that California woman uses world's longest tongue To play Jenga She has the longest tongue Yeah we need video Video

I think we have video I hope we have video I'm looking There's the lady Yeah that's her Look at how long her tongue goes Look at this Whoa slow motion tongue

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's... That feels like it's going to come back to get you one day. You're going to be like 70 and just choke on your tongue. That video looks fake. It really does. Look at her playing Jenga. I ain't playing your Jenga after you're done with it, though.

I know. We need a brand new set if we're going to be playing. It's freaking wild. This California woman, she's 34. Oh, geez, stop. With the world's longest tongue. 3.8 inches, by the way, is the full measurement of the tongue. She can hold a spoon in it, as you can see here.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my heck, look at that. It's a wild muscle we got in there, you know? It's pretty crazy. It really is. Wow, it's crazy when she pulls it back. Really weird. Anyway, it says here she showed off some tricks she can perform with her massive mouth muscle.

She can actually become tongue-tied. She's one of the few people in the world that can actually become tongue-tied. Yeah, she could actually... Oh, wow, she's bobbing for grapes in a... Yep. Look what she does with these cups. She looks... She seems like a very nice person with a wild...

Oh, my gosh. Look at that thing. My wife's got a pretty long tongue, but it ain't like that. Anyway, she broke some record. It says... She also, okay, she holds the Guinness World Record for the longest tongue. Since 2010, nobody's been able to beat her. Uh, 3.8 inches from tip.

uh to her lips so she has to go all the way out measure to the mouth not to the back of your mouth right like outside and let that be a lesson to some of you men out there yeah the way you measure things yeah yeah uh says she says honestly the best reaction i can ever get at someone sees my tongue is screaming well i i almost did that just now i realize or i already do like it when people scream in shock or horror sometimes she told the guinness world records but that's probably my favorite one because it's funny to me because it's a dramatic response. She showed off a bunch of tricks, including removing jankablocks,

flipping plastic cups, and holding a spoon. It's, I like a little fun, silly things like that, she says. What makes my tongue the most fun when I can do things that are outside of the box with it?

I'll just leave that there. That's a weird quote. Yeah. Weird quote. That's fine. That's just fine. All right. Final story.

Mysterious. Now I know who the. Mysterious poop checkers is my dog Rainer. It's you, yeah. No mystery here. Mysterious poop chucker might be targeting Colorado woman. All right. So it's a local story, Brian.

For not picking up dog waste. Here's the deal. An interesting situation has been reported and has been unfolding in Colorado's mountainous summit county. You're familiar with the area, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's where. Veil and Aspen, and this is where something like this would happen.

Lots of dogs. Well, lots of rich people Who'd be pissed off I'm doing things like this too I see But also fancy breeze right That's like Park City up here Yes

Although now that you jerks got freaking A Sundance Oh Sundance Yeah What the frick What what failed negotiation did we do As a state To lose after 40 years

Yeah And part of the problem is Robert Redford's too old To yell about it because he still lives here and would rather have it stay. It seems like he could just put his foot down and say, no, has to be in Utah. I worry he can't put his foot down.

I worry he's, I don't want to, you know how sometimes we'll say a name and a week later they pass away. I'm not trying to do that, but Robert Redford's in his 80s. He probably doesn't have the gumption they used to have for this sort of thing. I don't know, but everyone here's so sad about it. We're just like, really, Sundance? After most of my life, it's been here. It would be like us losing the Great American Beer Fest or something like that.

Like some of these big events that are only, the National Western Stock Show that happens here in Colorado every year, it's that massive. Yeah, like losing the sun. We literally have a city called Sundance. It's named after the city. It was built there because of the city's name. It's like the Toronto Film Festival losing the Toronto Film Festival.

Right. Tell you ride. So, I mean, it's like, you know, it's got to be also a big financial hit because of, of the tourism that it brings up. Oh, yeah. No, it's huge. It's a big whoop. I don't know what happened. There's a lot of talk that the governor was just being a puss and couldn't like meet whatever, whatever they needed. I don't know what it was. Governor Cox, he's turned out to be a bit of a wet blanket here. We used to think he was pretty cool, kind of centrist and not an idiot,

but I'm not so sure now. Anyway, enough of that. Some local Utah politics for you. So here's how it went. This person is believed to be involved in a vigilante or with a vigilante that is punishing those who fail to pick up their dog waste. So somebody who's like out on the park, the dog poops, they don't pick it up. A little bit like our neighbor. Maybe I'll learn something here. Maybe I'll have an idea or two when we're done. Technique.

Yeah, exactly. According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, we also have a Utah Summit County somewhere. Anyway, a woman is in unincorporated Silverthorn. Is that fancy? Silverthorn is the first city you get to as you travel outside of Denver. Well, one of the first cities you get to as you travel west. Before you hit all the big aspen and veil and all that stuff, you get to the tunnel, the Eisenhower tunnel, you get to Silverthorne up there. Sounds like one of the hork trucks is in Harry Potter or something.

Silverthorn, yes, exactly. I was going to say, probably every state that has a lot of mountains has a summit county. It feels like that comes with the, literally comes with the territory. That's a good point. Anyway, they called her report an unknown man who has been throwing bags of dog poop into her yard and onto her drive. and onto her driveway over the last month, the woman was able to capture security footage of someone committing the act,

also suspecting a neighbor as the culprit. Deputies reached out to the man that she listed, but he did not, in fact, match the description of the person in the surveillance video. The investigation into who the mysterious poop chucker might be continued, excuse me, in the woman's neighborhood, but no suspect could be identified. During the investigation, however,

several of the women's neighbors noted that the woman involved is known for failing to pick up her dog waste. So she's getting kind of what she deserves. But there's not, correct me if I'm wrong, but I, okay, it's throwing bags of poop into yard and driveway. You know, I missed, I might have been pulling up the song for Andy in the middle. So that's how the chucking is happening is that this, this guy's been throwing bags of poop. Yeah. And her neighbors don't seem like they have much empathy because she's been, she's known for leaving her dog poo wherever it lies. And they're not.

They're not going to, they're not going to nark on whoever this is. Oh, rich people in their fights. It's great. It's fun stuff. It is fun stuff. That, it's unimaginative poop checking, though, because, like, I would use a drone. I would maybe involve a trebouche from, you know, further down the street so that you couldn't pick me up on your ring cam. Oh, I love the drone idea so much.

Yeah. Could you go? Do they, do they have a remote let go of a crane kind of? a device on those things? You probably can make something. Like the ones, you're commercially available ones, like the DGIs and stuff, I don't think have anything that can do that.

But you easily could rig something up, even with just a secondary little remote, remote Bluetooth motor, a stepremoter or something. One of these days, I'm going to get a drone. I don't know when. They're fun.

Yeah, they're a lot of fun. Yeah, I want to go do some aerial shots and some cool stuff. I used mine a lot for the first couple years after I got it, and I probably have not even fired it up in the last eight months, so I need to, since the middle of last summer. So it might be closer to a year.

Are those things like, I don't know, like phones or stuff where you feel like every year there's big upgrades, and so you're always sad that you have the old model. That's what I always worry about. It's like, well, I'm going to spend two grand on a drone. Is next February going to be the announcement of the hot new sequel, and I'm going to be pissed that I bought that one? Like, I hate that.

You know, like the big innovation, the only really big innovation I cared about was just something that folded up. So it came out of a, it can be put into a smaller little storage area. And I got that and the DGI one. There's ones that probably go further and faster and that sort of thing. I'm really happy with the one I've got because it's, you know, you can either use it with your phone or I've got a thing that plugs into my phone that's got a couple little joysticks on it that I can control, get more control with that. Yeah, those are cool. The ones that use your phone for the screen, those seem pretty rad. But DJI is still the brand, right?

Everyone loves DJ. Yeah, that'd be the one I'd go with. And you can get a decent, a really good one for like $600, $700. You don't even get the two grand ones. I think those Insta people should make a, they have really great GoPro competitors. They should make a full-on drone. Maybe they do. Maybe Anchor does have a drone, but, you know, Anchor feels like the company that should have drones out there too.

Yeah. I like Anchor. I'd buy an Anchor device. Maybe not with the new tariff. coming. Who knows? Brian, let's take a break when we come back. Major Spoilers Own, Steven Schlecker will be here. We've got a bunch of stuff to talk about and that'll all happen after this song you brought. Yeah, this is a band called Whitehall and I'm looking to see if it tells me where they're from and usually it's one of the first

things. Oh, there we go, Brooklyn. I was going to say, you know, you have to go further in the article to find out where they're from. They're not from Whitehall, which is where I would expect they were. Yeah, Brooklyn-based group Whitehall. They have a brand new single and it's good we found out where they're from because the single is called Come Visit. It's a brand new from the band Whitehall. Here it is. Everybody likes, what's it feel like, growing up all at once, you finally made the cut. Come, is it the same? Come, is it?

Spid the day Can't visit stay Can't visit you say What's it like to stay where you stand? Try and for fear you plan. see something through don't you get bored just doing what you do

come visit stay calm visit spent the day come visit stay Is it safe? What's it like to hold your own hand?

What's it like to hold your own hand? Live life so one plan like to waste all your time don't you get scared now just be in a life you say come visit spend the day Come visit Stay Come visit Stay

Thank you. Young squirt come hereinkey's going to fall off. in one of them newfangled convertible jobs. Throwed me clean off into the ditch. I'd just like to get my both hands on his neck for about two seconds. I'd sure show him what, per. Now how much would you pay? And we've returned.

Who is that again? That is the band called Whitehall with a brand new song, Come Visits. Just a single, no mention of an up. album, but we got, stay tuned for news on Whitehall's forthcoming album is what it says. So for right now,

just a single. Nice. Nice. Why am I thinking of a comedian named Whitehall? Who am I thinking of? Oh, the guy that does the thing on Netflix with his dad, British comedian guy, kind of young. Something Whitehall. I don't know, really.

Chad, I got that, somebody in there will know. The guy is great. It makes me laugh. Jack Whitehall. That's whitehall. That's it. Yep. Jack, he's great. I think. I don't know if we're supposed to be mad at him. I never know. That's been what he's doing with his dad. Is he exploiting his dad for comedy? His dad seems like he's in on it. It's a pretty funny little show. I think I recommend it. I can't remember. It's been so long, but it's, I was always, there was always a feeling of not

knowing how much of it was staged, though. You know? Yeah, sure. Like I do with all reality things. Yeah, of course. Who the hell are we calling Steven? That's her. Stephen. Yeah. I forgot for a hot man. You got to talk.

Superman. Superman. We haven't had him in a bit because of commitments at school and stuff, but here's his intro. And now welcome Stephen to the show. He's a huge freaking nerd. Dollar, dollar bills, y'all. Oh, man. Stephen, it's good to have you back, man.

How are you? Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. Good to see you. Hello. Yes. I'm doing well. You're doing all right?

You've been busy with the students and the teaching and the whatnot? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a bunch of, had over 100 high schoolers here last week to educate them on podcasting and special effects. And yeah, so we'll get a boost of about 50 kids next year. Does a school like yours get, are you guys getting hit with any of these like stuff that's getting pulled back, education pullbacks and stuff? Is any of that happening to you? Well, like grants and all that.

I don't know. I don't know how that shit works. So we, so I, boy, this is really a tough subject to talk about. So when I am hiring, I always hire based on merit. Yeah. Right. Everybody on the committee all knows that we hire based on merit. This last hire that we were trying to do, we had to have what's called a Jedi on our team.

But basically it was a DEI representative. Hmm. I see. Then suddenly, in January. our Jedi has disappeared. Oh, I see. And gone to that planet, Brian was talking about the... Yeah, right.

Let's start with pleasure planet. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. All right, no, I get... I get what you're dropping. I hear what you're saying. I get you. I mean, so we haven't lost grant monies or anything like that,

but we're in a very conservative region anyway. But, yeah, there's been some students that have gotten up. given presentations on on DEI and other things to try to educate people but uh there you go all right well good luck with that good luck dodging all them bullets uh there in the world of higher education in the meantime let's talk about nerd shit like this oh yeah there's this uh there's a sequence in the new superman trailer that has everybody freaking out when i say everybody i sound like one of those terrible headlines online the internet's all on fire from whatsoever it's like shut up uh but but you know fans Quote unquote are, let's put them in quotes. Let's put it, let's be clear. These are, these are Zach Snyder fans. These are the people that are doing this.

It's nobody else. Yeah, that's true. So I didn't have a beef with the trailer. I watched it. What are they talking about the robot sequence? Yeah, so they're talking about the whole robot sequence where Super Band has brought into the Fortress of Solitude. This is in the trailer, so there's no spoilers here.

He's brought into the Fortress of Solitude by a bunch of robots, and there's some little joking back and forth, which, you know, that's something that can be discussed in another time about how you're I want to talk about the robots because... Okay, go ahead. I mean... No problem with... I freaking love the crypto bit with, you know, him bounce...

Basically acting like a dog. Yes. Love it. That is the James Gunniest thing ever. Right. The robots carrying him in. Oh, this is number 12. She's new here.

Oh, my God, he looked at me. Super major eye roll on that. Really? Okay. So part of me wants to say, because if you... I don't know if you... we can get right to the spot where he does look at her. He does have a groan on his face, but it would seem that if you are Superman and you have built a bunch of robots, you would want to program them with some humor genes. And so Superman comes in and they're

like, hey, thank you. And they're just being sarcastic to him. Hey, we don't have any feelings. You know, you haven't programmed us with this. And then it's obvious that he has because he does kind of give a little smile there. And then she's like, oh, he smiled at me. And it's like, Yeah, okay, that's them being silly. It's a funny comedy bit. I think it's funny. I got to take the James Gun. Like, if I like the James Gun crypto stuff, I feel like I have to like the James Gun robot stuff.

And by the way, it's not a James Gun crypto bit. It's my dog does the exact same thing. I'm laying on the couch right after eating. Boom. 30 mile, 30 pound dog jumping from, you know, 10 feet high onto my stomach. That's exactly. Everyone can feel that. But the big thing that everybody is all up in arms about is the thing that happens next,

They put a Superman on a bed and they hold him down as they open up a port on the Fortress of Solitude and they focus concentrated sun bright on him and he's screaming in pain. And then all of the people who have never read a comic book are like, why is the sun hurting him? I thought it was supposed to heal him. That's because people are stupid and don't read past where their brains are at. I saw this post yesterday and I was so annoyed I had to do a sarcastic reply. I try to avoid these. But somebody had a big picture or a video of somebody at the base of the St. Louis Arch. Okay?

And they started their camera at the bottom and went all the way around to the other side. And the caption was, how did humans even make this? And there's like this like emoji face going, and I'm like, well, here are the ways that you can deal with that. A couple ways. One, there's a giant museum at the base of the arch. And in there, they tell you everything they need to know about how the things made. show you step-by-step photos of how humans made.

But if that's not you take in the video or you can't go to St. Louis for some reason, there are many resources available to us online, where you can go and read entire articles about how the damn thing was made. You freaking weirdos? I hate people, dude. Okay, so just so everyone's clear, Superman robots have been around since the 1960s. They have even maybe a little bit sooner than that.

Not necessarily in the fortress of solitude. In fact, there are many storylines where Superman has been out of commission and these robots. And again, in the Silver Age, they all looked like Superman. And so people wouldn't know, is this really Superman or is it a robot? And so there are many stories that involve Superman. LMDs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much. Yeah, exactly. In fact, even Lex Luthor had a robot made of him and he had hate tapes.

You know, back when computers ran on tapes, they opened up the robot and it's full of hate tapes. And all the tapes inside say hate on them. And it's like, I used to make tape tapes from my ex-girlfriend back in the 80s. A great way to deal with people. So why would the son be hurting Superman? Well, if anybody has ever had a dislocated shoulder or body part, and you have to pop that back in,

you know that, hey, the doctor's healing you. But gosh darn it, does that hurt when it's being popped back into place? It's also emergency triage for Superman is pumping in full of, of, yellow sunlight at a rate that is not comfortable. What do people think it is? He's just going to go, ah, like a fresh spring morning. That's what Superman did in the Snyder films.

Well, that's because the Snyder films are bad, and hard-core Snyder people are not great human beings when it comes to their fandom. There, I said it. Well, their fandom is pretty bad. Not so bad. Oh, here it is. So it could be the growing pains and healing hurts.

It could actually be that the sun is hurting. Superman because there are two books that James Gunn has referenced both in physical picture form as well as in written form that he is using as inspiration for this movie. One of them is the Superman for all seasons, which is very emotional Superman, like what makes Superman tick? What, and this is a Jeff Loeb, Tim Sail joint. And so it's a very emotional side of Superman that people don't normally see. So that's one part. The second one is All-Star Superman. by Grant Morrison and Frank Quightly. And that one has Superman dying because he is exposed to too much sunlight.

And his body can't absorb all the energy. And so his cells are literally breaking down. And so throughout the course of All-Star Superman, a 12-issue series that people should really go check out, he is dying. Superman is dying. And they're trying everything they can to try and save him. And so maybe that's a bigger plot point in this movie. But here's the thing. here's the thing we won't know until we go see the movie oh wait are you saying that

are you saying that people should see the film first is that what you're telling us that's what i'm saying it's fun to speculate but please don't make it your identity shock yeah i even i even thought there might have me another another possible answer because it's like you know he's beaten to crap right yeah it's so hard that he lands in the snow out out in the arctic and so he's obviously in major pain and but he's also probably just angry and frustrated that he got such a beat down. I take that sunlight that he's like, oh, I want to go get Doomsday, or not Doomsday,

but whoever it is that beat the crap out of me. Yeah, and if they do, if it's, what do you call it, kryptonite is the problem. I mean, that weakens him to a state of near death every time. So, like, it makes perfect sense to me that it would be this moment of whatever. All of that aside, it's like, the humor part, we expect that from James Gunn. I don't know what people expect, do they expect him to get all.

Snydery and dark. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, James Gunn changes his whole writing and directing style. No. It's the reason we hired him to get out of the mire you were in, you bunch of puds. Oh, I must have feelings about this. You must. I just, those Snyder people drive me. And you know what? I don't even hate Zach Snyder. Let me make something clear here. There's, you make it a bunch of movies I really like. I think that all the DC stuff is misguided. And it's not just him. It's studio. It's a lot of reasons why I have problems with that stuff. But these people that pine and, and, like, are constantly riding his ding-dong, stop it. All right. I mean, there's a lot of them. They're all going to come flooding in. They're all going to come flooding in moments. Yeah.

And your comment section and your thumbs down on the YouTube videos, just wait, Scott. Can't wait. In fact, we should title this, everybody, rank this all the way. It's the number one. Scott hates Snyder fans. Yeah, yeah. And then, hey, talk about, talk about, uh, some grassroots publicity there.

The money apparently these days is in negative content, so maybe this will push some of the top. I talk about that a lot too. We could put a dark blue filter over the show in the special Zach Snyder episode. Crank the contrast. Crank the contrast way up and

desaturate all the other colors. Yeah, we can totally do that. I wouldn't have a problem with that. In fact, you know what? I might do it right now. Do you do it right now? I can do it very easily, it turns out. That's your thumbnail. Yeah.

And now the news. Yeah. A woman plays jingo with her really long time. You're going to have some lens players firing up there here and there. Yeah. You guys can't smile. You can't, you guys are smiling. You can't smile.

Oh, that's right. Are we smiling? We get to it. Here's what we do first. We put the blue over. And now I got to take it and make it. The transfer mode. Multiply.

Yeah, I got to multiply it. Although. Look at you. Let's see if I can do it. And, oh. One of the things that I teach is color correcting and we've gone to blue yeah we've gone to blue so hold on this is this sort of works but i want to want to really want to do i want to make it like color multiply let's do

let's do a little blue here all right there we go there you go you're getting close there let's a lot closer to the snider the snider cut of tms anyway i like i like zach snider too maybe of his films i've greatly enjoyed but i agree with you that we can't just hate something because somebody new comes along uh let let's see what the work is and maybe this film won't be very good or maybe it'll be the best Superman film since 78 you never know you don't know yeah 77 yeah 78 wasn't it 78 yeah i don't know right i'm usually good two was the best superman two ruled have you guys ever watched the um richard donner cut of one and two together no is it good if you have not if you have not it's really good it is it's it's you watch it the way that donner and two tended it before the studios got involved and said, oh, no, you're spending too much money and you're wasting too much time.

We've got to split this thing up. It makes a lot more sense, and it's a solid film. Because the two, I know he was never very happy with the final edit of two. They fired it. They fired him. Yeah. Audiences like to, but I think part of it is because audiences, sometimes we want this simpler take, you know. So I don't know why I haven't done that.

I actually really would enjoy it, I think. Does it remove the flying around the earth backwards? No, no, no. That's still in there. It's just in how the story is told, right? It's just like really, it's really well-crafted how they piece the two movies together. In fact, they have him do it twice, Brian. It's not just one and two slap together, butted together.

It's like, re-edited it and it's really good. They have them go. Like they did with the, when people did the fan edit of Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones and. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, where they took out like two-thirds of the movies and jam the best parts together to make And the unfortunate part about that is they took out all the stuff talking about the Galactic Senate and trade wars

and now it's like somehow super relevant. Okay, but what about does the other cut scenes where he's chucking his logo at more people? Because I would like that. It's been a while since I've seen it. But I don't remember if the plastic

trap, I think it's still there. I think the plastic trap is still there. So stupid, dude. The Richard Donner cut, I mean, it looks like it looks like it's available for ten bucks to own on um yeah iTunes probably yeah and Apple Apple movies but it's not it's funny it does look like it's called the like the trailer says Superman to the Richard Donner cut but this one doesn't look like the other title just says Superman too oh weird it's it's the Richard Donner Cut combines the first two movies yeah combines the first two movies together yeah I blame uh I blame Zod

Neil before zone I blame him every time Yeah go ahead Here I'm defending DC Now let's uh Now let me turn it to a nerdy fan boy Alright let's do it There's a new Spider-Man movie that's been announced

Tom Holland movie Gotta get the next sequence in it Spider-Man 4 I think they screwed up Everybody went home it's called Right No it's not that's the problem It's called brand new day

Oh where's the home And that's the point I think that they've broke their own rules because we had homecoming, far from home, no way home, and now brand new day. So, again. My memory seems to have been wiped living in New York. Who is the Spider-Man you keep talking about? Because I can't remember.

I mean, the costume fits everyone eventually, Brian. So maybe it's real. After the end of the last movie, I can't remember who Spider-Man or this Peter Parker person you keep bringing up. Yeah, who is this person? Okay, so they're calling it brand-new day. but is that what does tell me what else do we know we know anything well we really don't know anything yeah brandy was the post uh one more day storyline yeah this was after so in in the comic

books uh mary jane made a deal with mafisto uh for the marriage never to happen so that everybody could or spider man did uh so that everyone would forget who peter parker was following or spider man was following the events of civil war And, of course, that undid the marriage and undid everything else. And, of course, nobody knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, which is basically how No Way Home ended up, where Mary Jane and all of his friends don't know that he's Spider-Man. And everyone doesn't even know who Peter Parker is. And so, brand-new day is, hey, this is what happens after you make that deal with the devil. And in this case, it was just Dr. Strange.

And so we're going to see what happens. But I don't know. It's nice that we're seeing a new arc of Spider-Man, you know, going in threes. But at the same time, I just, the back of my mind is just like, oh, you've, you've changed the hook. And now something is going to be really bad about this. I am so fine with it. I like, because I feel like that's, you know, when you get a story arc in the comics or even multiple things of a story arc, right? Like, look how many times DC has used something crisis, identity crisis, crisis, crisis on infinity.

et cetera. It's like, okay, well, now let's move over to this other new story arc that combines all these great stories. So, you know, maybe we'll get brand new day. We'll get Spider-Man 5, die another day. Well, it'll be Spider-Man, Spider-Man Six, Spitey's Day Out.

Yeah. Day of Jackal or something, yeah. Spitey's Day Out. So, Spider-Man. That would be great if they're going to do that. And as far as we know, Tom Holland is down for playing Spider-Man for as long as he's willing. Lock that kid down.

Yeah. I mean, really, I mean, he could, he and Zendaya and I forget the other guy's name. A little bald friend. Yeah. Yeah. Who's like.

Have you guys ever looked up to see how old that guy is? He's old? Yeah, he's probably like 35 or 40 or something. Yeah, he's like 40, I think. Yeah. Good for good genes. I could, I could, I could, see them making three more movies together in this franchise. And again, if they want to brand it

with Dave, that would be a brilliant move to do that. But again, just like, I don't like robots in the Superman movie. I'm like, I don't like that you don't include home in the Spider-Man 4 title. Yeah. Even Tom Holland's almost 30. He's like 20, almost 29. It'll be 29 and in, sorry, in June. 29. Holy cow. Yeah. So he's, you know, you only got some of these left in you. He also plays young, so he's probably fine. But, uh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I just heard, it's funny. We were talking about Natasha Leone a few weeks ago and who she could be in the Marvel Universe. I just found out she is going to be somebody in the Marvel Universe.

She's been added to the cast of, or not added, because they've already filmed everything. But Fantastic Four has Natasha Leon in an unnamed role. Oh, I didn't know that. But you have any guesses? Like, you're pretty good at this. Do you have any? Alicia Masters, maybe? Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, the blind, uh, things blind girlfriend? Ew. Or who is the, um, my dad's the puppet, Johnny. So what? So what? He's like a cockroach. The puppet master. Unless, unless they go with one of the, uh, the inhumans, not the inhumans.

Oh, crystal. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I like that. Yeah, I like that a lot. Well, we'll see. She not, she enlisted in the doomed stuff at all or in the Fantastic Four stuff at all. Where did you say the casting was?

No, they still have about a hundred chairs, apparently. left to go through for that thing. Yeah, they're not done, right? They're going to keep showing us chairs. They're not done, yeah, which makes sense because if they're going to have a, you know, a wide-spanning storyline, it makes sense that Dr. Strange has to be part of that, especially something multiverse. Dr. Strange created the rift, so we've got to get Charlize Theron, right? Clea, we have to get Benedict Wong, and we'll probably get a couple of Guardians of the Galaxy. I mean, it makes sense that we're going to get a bunch more.

It seems like a, is it going to be a big, you've got to get this right, dude, because that's a lot. It's so many. It's really just going to be, just going to be each superhero coming on and saying, hey, and then another one to come, hey, I'm here too. I would be leading into this, leading into this, if you said the Russo brothers are doing it, which we knew, I would have been, yeah, perfect pair. They did it before they can do it again. But then after seeing an electric state, I'm just a little bit like, oh. All right. Well, so electric state, so you guys know this theory that Netflix is not looking to make stuff that is good.

They just want to make stuff that's on in the background. Yeah, I've heard that before, sure. And the reason is, as long as you're on Netflix, they get a count your numbers, whether it's on in the background or not. So it really does quality, maybe doesn't matter as much. But I agree. Electric State is not a good movie. Considering when you, if you've seen the source material. Yeah.

Start something on Netflix, then go both. in the other room while Netflix continues to play on the... Yeah, they don't care. They want... If you're using it as your background noise, like I do with Seinfeld all the time, that's what they want. You know, Seinfeld is a background noise for sex? Oh, yeah, that's always my sex sound

going on in the background. But no, like... But like the whole the whole thing is like if... I think they want their prestige stuff because they need it for Oscar era time and all that. They need reasons to be able to do that out in the PR world. But when it comes to

like just hook people and have them sit there and watch stuff, I don't think they have high standards at all. I think they're just kind of like whatever, you know, that thing, even though it costs so much money, it's not like it didn't, it's not like it tanked at the box office. There's no box office. It's not horrible. It's not horrible. It's just not great. And I don't think it did justice to the source material, which I'm a big fan of Stahlberg's work, have been for years. And if you haven't seen tales from the loop over on the competing site, trying video, it is really, really good. So I would encourage you'd be able to go check that out yeah go look at that one that's a better use of that

dude's imagery i can tell you that really is so one one one final thing uh for um doomed's day world uh james marsden have you seen the meme today uh you know he plays cyclops he has uh he's been confirmed to be an avengers dooms day uh there's a meme with him writing in a car with hop him writing in a car with sonic and him for avengers dooms day writing in a car with uh rocket wrecking because he's got all these freaking mascots in his life he's um he was so

revelatory good in paradise that i i'm i'm actually excited about what they might do with him because obviously it's a bit of a meme that he you know his scott summers was not written well it's not his fault no no it's made to be he's a milk toast milk toast character and so yeah and he's a great actor he does really good work and lots

of things people just get all honed in on that and I think it's a mistake so I'm looking forward to seeing whatever the hell they do with him totally in there because I've never honestly I'll just say it they've never gotten Scott Summers right in any of these iterations he's the first class like when they bring him in for was it dark Phoenix or was it the one before that dark Phoenix is so bad a little too young well yeah the rest of it is so bad the whole use of you know but but this kind of Again, he has to be kind of a nerdy wallcrawler, like a wallflower Peter Parker kind of character that is only finds his place when he's among the other mutants. And aside from that, ostracized and, you know, kind of introverted.

So what they brought him in on the second batch of James McAvoy's X-Men, I thought he did okay. I thought they cast okay. Yeah, that was all right. They just need to, I don't know how they're going to make it all work. There's one giant freaking movie with everyone in it. The entirety of Hollywood, you know. 18 hard a lot of apartment, too. Yeah.

Yeah. And also, um, what a film sack, we'll get rid of the, the Star Trek connection. We'll just, we'll just say it's the doomsday connections from now on. Right. One movie. Everybody was in one movie. MCU connections are so, it feels like such low hanging fruit for a film sack deal. They are.

So if you, but, but I'm saying even narrow it down now, you can just say, Doomsday. That's it. Just the movie. Now that's all the connections. Every actor in the world has been in Doomsday. It's starting to feel that way. I hope they can pull it off. I have faith. I mean, certainly, technically, those guys know how to direct. I don't know who's writing. Hopefully they're good. But I really want that thing to nail its landing so that we can move to whatever's next. Me too. Yeah. That'd be great. Stephen, what a fun time we've had today. Yeah. Next time I come on, I'll share bad news with you guys. Oh, okay. Cool. But I'm willing to see how something plays out. Okay.

All right. Thunderbolt's tickets just went on sale this morning. So if you have not gotten your tickets to see Thunderbolt on May 2nd. Maybe I should talk about that now. Are you going to bust my bubble for something I'm really looking forward to? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Our town no longer has a movie theater. Oh, it shut down on Thursday.

Of course, it's AMC. So, you know, it's maybe not that. big of a loss. But, you know, I've complained about my movie going experience specifically with AMC for years. It sounds like they finally listened to me and said, well, instead of changing, we'll just shut the theater down. We'll just shut it down. So how far is your, like, how long does it take to me?

Like 35, 35 minutes one way to go to Russell, but, and I haven't been to this theater, but everyone who goes just loves it. Both of my kids went this weekend on two separate occasions to go see Minecraft. It's called, I think, the Strand. It's a 450 seat, classic holocaust. classic theater that is on the state registry. So the state funds it to keep it in repair. And then it's all volunteers that work there. But it was sold out for both of the Minecraft showings that my kids went to. And everybody reacted. Like if you're seeing all the people just going crazy ape crazy on the videos of people watching Minecraft, that's how it was here too. But 35 minutes, I still am not convinced I'm going to drive 35 minutes to see Thunderbolts or Superman. or Doomsday. Is Russell, Kansas,

named after a dude named Russell? It's only 35 minutes. Come on now. No, I mean, it's 35 minutes. I mean, you got to realize the movie theater that closed was literally five minutes away from it. I'm with you.

I drive 20 to 25 minutes to get to the... The furthest was when I lived in Atlanta and we would go to all sorts of different theaters. And so 35 minutes to an hour to get to a theater was not that unheard of, but... Yeah, no, I don't know if there's an popular... I'll take the... what sounds like the unpopular position here but I'm with you I don't want to go

like our theaters are about 10 11 minutes away there's one even closer I don't go to it that much more but if they were if I had to drive 35 minutes I'd never I don't think I never go to the theater I wouldn't go very often like you're going 35 minutes to pick up a sandwich and come back you're going somewhere to sit for two and a half hours so 35 minutes to sit for two and a half hours three and a half hours after you're done I don't know here's my concerns here's my concerns um And especially for kids, high school kids or whatever that are going to go to see this, you've got to get on the interstate, you're going to be driving at night. If the weather is bad, there's all sorts of bad things that can happen, as opposed to driving surface streets where surface streets 35 minutes, that's not such a big deal.

But at night on the interstate, ugh, that's no, thank you. Who is Russell named after? Is there a guy named Russell? I don't know who it's named after. It's probably named after an oil or railroad person, but you guys would know Russell best as the home of. Bob Dole and, what's his name, Spector? Ronnie Spector? No, no, not Phil Spector.

Another politician also came from Russell, Kansas. But Bob Dole is the big one. Bob Dole, thanks, 35 minutes too far to drive for a movie. Bob Dole, thanks. I miss Bob Dole's talking, man, I love the way that I got talking. Bob Dole says he's holding up his mangled up hand from the war. Bob Dole thinks that Too many actors in that new movie

Bob Dole thinks we ought to have legislation Too many people in Doomsday Anyway those of you By the way those of you who are going to TMS Vegas And staying for most of the day on Thursday That is you know you could go see Thunderbolt's star in the theater In Las Vegas

When we found a great theater That we saw Endgame Infinity War Well two different theaters we saw Infinity War In Game in Vegas but both of them were really, really good. I'd say the one that did Endgame was even better. Yeah, I liked that one.

We're leaving too early. What's that? Yeah, those stupid lights. Yeah. We're leaving right in the middle of the day, so I'm not even going to get to see Thunderbolts on Thursday night, opening night. I'm going to have to wait until Friday night, May 2nd. When do you think early reviews hit sometime soon?

Probably Thursday. Probably Thursday. Is this coming Thursday? Yeah, whatever day. No, no. whatever day the movie opens Like it's NDA until the actual opening day That's my guess

Or the Wednesday before I mean if the studio is really sold on this They'll let them do it The week before but if they're not They're going to say no NDA this thing Until Wednesday night Thursday morning Wow I'm curious about that

All right well there you go A fine movie though Yeah yeah I'm sure it'll be fine I wouldn't know I'm not going to be able to go see it Yeah You'll get to see it in three months on Disney Plus it'll be fine. Oh, man.

Well, I hate to bring it to you, Scott, but... Did you cancel? The theater convention, no, the theater owners convention that they had, where they were rolling out all these trailers and everything, there's a big push from the theater owners to really coerce the studios to extend that window back to, you know, whatever it is. Yeah, but what cards do they hold?

They're going to go, we're going to pee in the popcorn if you don't extend the time. Like, what do they actually have? to negotiate with. I don't understand how that works. We don't necessarily have to put your movie in as many screens or have as many showings or maybe you want us to run that new Disney movie, but we're too busy with whatever Paramount is doing because they're going to cooperate with us,

that kind of stuff. There's some dirty, dirty math that can go on. The begun the movie theater wars have is what you're saying. Oh, regardless of the movie wars. Exciting stuff. Well, there you go. There's a lot going on.

course over at major spoilers.com. Anything in particular you'd like to point at? I had a very interesting conversation with Alex Segura, who is a writer, a comic book writer and novelist about detective genre. I did that a couple of weeks ago on the Major Spoilers Podcast. I would encourage people to go and listen to a lot of the interviews I've been doing with creators from around the world. It's all good times.

Nice. Yeah, it sounds great. Major spoilers.com, by the way, for all the other great coverage. Stephen, have a fantastic week. We'll see you next time. Bye now. Bye now. See you.

I hope Thunderbolts is good I really want it to be I did too I did too no reason to think it won't be you know we don't know no no people people are a little dower

on the Marvel business lately but I don't know that cast is rad I'm stoked great cast and yeah good good hopefully a much better launching into the rest of the stuff

that's going to be coming out indeed all right we're going to play one quick final call today somebody misses something we do and we may as well play this this message is for the morning stream. A couple things. One, could you please bring App Slappy back? I really enjoyed that part of the show however long ago when you did it. I know there's one person that we highly respect

in regard in the tadpool that doesn't like the apps, but I think the other 10,000 listeners might actually enjoy your talking about the latest and greatest. I know I did. And the second thing was the other day when Brian... Okay, he either ended that on purpose or got cut off i can't tell the difference oh that's really funny darn it i want to know what the other thing was so i don't know if that was a joke or if he lost connection or what happened there but uh like if it was a cut out if it was intentional then it's a brain done away no you yeah it felt like it was one of those things but i could be totally wrong he'd have to let us know but he misses the segment where we talk about apps app slapy of course was a full show me and

eric used to do and now it was a segment we did it on tms pm It's what we called Fridays, basically, back then. Is that when we did it on Thursday, Thursday, p.m., we had the app slapping stuff on there. And once in a while, we would bring it out into the main show if we had something big to talk about. I don't have a problem bringing it back. I don't do that much with apps anymore like I used to. I used to be really like grabbing them all all the time. Yeah, and that was the thing.

I mean, that, you know, that forced us in addition to, you know, we already have to do recommendals where it's like, oh, crud, I haven't watched anything new. I get to spend Monday night watching or Tuesday night watching something brand new to talk about. now we have to like oh crap something new on the app store that i got to buy download or maybe not buy but download try and spend some good time with um i'd say let's bring it back but it doesn't have to be a regular weekly segment it could just be a um you know have the theme ready it's like oh i want to talk about an app today like i did with dc dark legion last week it's like great let's uh you know we just have a random like pop up kind of like uh like you were doing movies before the friday thing when you go every thursday kind of like that right he's like

Like, oh, hey, I saw something last night. Let's talk about it. We could absolutely do that. I have the app slappy theme on hand. It's not like it's hard to play that thing. I could easily talk about the, I've been playing a little bit of the new Space Invaders' Evolution that came out. That's really fun.

Oh, yeah, I've heard good things about that. It's really good. Yeah. I think I would like to check that out. Yeah, for the dude on the phone, here's a little, you know, that's him. Hold on. Let me find the song. you just a little bit of feeling

of the old days eh, eh, eh, eh, and slappy. Isn't that great?

It's a great theme. That's so great, yeah. All right, you know what? We'll do it once in a while. Stephanie, you'll have to deal with it.

Yeah, you'll just have to, you know, she says she loves the theme song, so she'll stick around for that part of it, and then she'll just mute. And we'll have to wave

when it's time that she can come back. Yeah, because the theme is really amazing. He let me, he did a Kickstarter for some friend of his recently, some new music. Dude is so good. He should be putting out albums every six months. I don't know where his problem is. Eric, you slacker. Everybody reach out to Eric Van Skyhawk or Skyhawk and all the socials and just give him shit because he's so freaking talented with the music and the whatnot. All right. PSA, again, no show tomorrow, but today show at 1 p.m. for the

Monday show. That's 1 p.m. today. We are going to start moving to 1 p.m. from noon for a couple of reasons. I have some meetings that are not going to be happening on the regular on Mondays, but also it actually gives me a little bit more, a better buffer to get everything on TM, edited and posted, and then have a little bit of room to do some prep for Monday show. So we're going to, moving forward for the next of a while, anyway, while I have these meetings, we're going to start at one. So an hour later for the Monday show. And that will be today. And then play retro at 4 p.m. today. So a couple of a couple of more shows today. to fill your day up with uh brian you get anything else you want to mention before we get the

nothing else just that um i'm going to be playing around with the red on air light 3d print a little bit more and uh um and recording more video for that and uh look that right there nice it's really as i talked about the beginning of the show it really is red on air light about the red on air light i think they look awesome i'm so i'm stoked for you to dial in wherever you get your perfect lighting yeah it's going to be red it's very cool uh Ideally, I print the on-air stuff with the red transparent, but then I print the rest of the box with perfectly sized holes in black or dark gray resin, and you just push the letters into the holes and they stay put.

You glue them in, and then you've got a little black box with a red on air. Can you get that granular with it? Is that a thing you can actually go? I could easily, yeah. I mean, it just doesn't matter of like, great, now I've got to print. Like, to make one of these, now I have to do a print and a resin chain. So is it worth it? It might be.

It might be if it looks really cool. Interesting. And they have printers that'll do that in real time, right? I guess that'd be filament though. Not with resin. They do with filament. Yeah, that change colors and stuff. And the transparent stuff is not nearly as good with filament as it is with resin.

Like this transparent resin is just gorgeous. Here's, you know, here's me with a light all the way behind the thing and you can still see the light. Oh, yeah. That's cool. just can't get that same look with the other not with the filament not as cleanly so I'm excited about all that let's play a song

and keep people entertained with music while we're gone oh I like that idea all right this goes out to glitch uh hello scary and boo uncle Al finally came too and has recovered songs from the first two albums from ministry please play this as a late

42nd birthday present and any random four second soundboard clip so find a four-second soundboard clip for his 40-second glitches 40-second birthday request. Four seconds. Okay, here's one. That's great, a little hole. Yeah, I love that song. I always keep that around because it's one of my favorite starts to any song.

That celebrity skin start is so great. And I don't even care about the rest of the song, but that burn it, burn it, burn it. It's just so good. Anyway, there you go. Those are your four-second clip. Sorry, it wasn't a comedy one. Specifically, he wants to hear the ministry recover of Every Day is Halloween.

So, yeah, this year, Ministry revisited their early stuff and actually have released an album called The Squirly Years Revisited. So this is the squirly version of probably their biggest hit. Every Day is Halloween. Here is Ministry. Hello, I'm a tailor, and your pants size is frog. You're always welcome at frogpants.com.

What if it was out the butt like a ponytail?
