The morning stream. Steady as she goes. Number two. Hello, everyone, and welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Ibbett. Can you believe it's the 23rd?

I can't. Like, basically, I have today, I have tomorrow, and then I'm in Vegas. Crazy. Yeah, crazy. Nuts. Brian's going a little early, so he's got even more to cram before. he leaves. Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing, man. Like, all right, so, you know, the concert's great. I'm excited to see the concert, beyond excited, because I want to see a show in sphere and see

what the whole thing was about. But, you know, thinking about it's like, all right, I have five full days in Las Vegas and two travel days on either side of that where I'm going to be there for about half the day. That is seven days, either full or partial in Las Vegas. And, uh, you know, I'm just not that guy anymore. You can do it. We've talked about a lot of times, like the perfect amount of time to be in Vegas is pretty rarely is it seven days. You know, that's a lot. It's like two days with travel on either side is my ideal.

So four total days, but two days, you want one day, you want to get there, you know, have a, get there early enough. You can get checked in, grab a nice dinner, acclimate, do whatever. And then you want a full day and then be like, oh, there's a couple things we still want to do. One more full day. And then, oh, I'm so glad we're leaving tomorrow morning. And then that fourth day you're out. Then an afternoon in the lazy river thing. And, you know.

Yeah, exactly. The pool, that second day, half of that second day is let's get these other things that we still want to see that are brand new and check them out. And then make sure we get some pool time. Yeah. Otherwise, you're living there. You're basically live in Vegas. And, you know, that's for Mitzoula to do. All right, that's for him.

Yeah, let him, let Chris do the living. Yeah. We'll do the briefing. We'll do the briefing. We'll do all the briefing we can do. The briefing. Yeah, so there's a lot going on. Obviously, we're getting ready for it.

In fact, a week from now today, or no, I'm sorry, week from now tomorrow, we will be leaving, like, literally, like, that Thursday is our drive-back day. Yeah. And I think we're going to have. Let's glass how full this. A week from today will be the live show, the live TMS Vegas. Something you and I only get to do once a year is do one of these things that we're doing right here. In person, shoulder to shoulder, cheek to cheek. We mean our ass cheeks, by the way, by everyone.

We do mean our ass cheeks. Yes, come on. That's a rule. You guys are your dirty minds. Yeah, gross. Yeah, no, you're right. It's this one time we get to do it. We have loads of fun doing it.

I mean, here's the truth of it. Brian's shoulders a massive task, quote unquote, with running Taskville. Taskville's a huge big deal. But it's the live show where you guys get to see the fruit of that tree. So you're going to want to watch it. Here's a little note. We're not going to have anybody. We usually have somebody there who can live stream for us.

This year, the two people who usually do are not around. So if you're like, oh, no, how are we going to see this thing? We're going to record the whole thing, video and audio. it will all be posted the second we get back and you'll have the whole thing. And the good news is that those videos will include the direct video from Taskville. So instead of seeing a video of the screen that's going to have some glare, not glare, but bleed from the lights above and things like that. And audio won't be great and all that.

But you'll actually have the high quality video that Hammond and KT data are editing to make Taskville look as great as it is. they're going to bleed any like audience reaction sound into that video do you know or absolutely yeah they did last time and and uh because it you know that's it's fun but man it's it's more fun when you hear the audience laughing at the the crazy stuff you guys are saying yeah it's the perfect combo now because in early years when we when you first did it uh 20 22 was that the first one i think that was it geez i think that's right because that was the first one we came back to right Yeah, it was the one, it was right, it was when we were at the art, artifice. Yes, that's right, that's right. And it was a little loud in there, so you couldn't really hear the video. So then, so that was one version. The next year, well, all I know is.

Artifice, frigate artifice. They're like, oh, yeah, you need to bring your own projector. I'm like, oh, okay. So I haul my, my, my, the projector we use is a TV downstairs here in the basement. High, you know, DLP. H. H. H. whatever projector. Takes up a lot of space in the suitcase, all that stuff. Yeah, Brian's flying. He's not driving to Vegas. He is flying to Vegas with a damn projector. Yeah. Yes. And so I get to Artifice.

We find some amps and some shelves and put my tripod on there with the projector on top of there. Turn it on. And, oh, there's the silhouette of something in the way of the top of the screen. What is it? Oh, it's Artifice's projector which is built in there,

they could have just said, oh, bring a HDMI cable and you can connect to ours. That place is not around anymore. Well, it's not artifice anymore. It's now something different. Still a bar or is it a something? I think it's still a bar. It's a decent space.

I like the space of it. It was a really unusual setup, though, because you had the bar in the middle which separated seating and tables and things like that from the actual venue. right so you couldn't be on sitting at the tables and watch what was going on and and by that same token you know you you couldn't if you had people over on the other side you couldn't communicate with them while you were watching the event it was really yeah it was an interesting layout but

first gummy too is when I when we did that show for me oh yes I remember that yes I was wearing a shirt that was too tight I remember a lot of things about that one for some reason that's right you know what it was it was our first time back after COVID and it was just a weird It was weird. It was a little weird. Because we were just like everybody was getting back to, all right, we're together here and everything's fine, right? It was a little bit of that vibe going on. It's very strange.

Right. So Artifice is now a private club that I guess you need a membership to go to. Whoa. What is this? Q Berry, because he's going to, oh, how do I do this? It's called the Doberman. Doberman? I'm not sure about.

Interesting. In the glittering console. Oh, here's this. their flowery text. In the glittering constellation of Las Vegas bars and clubs, Doberman isn't a flashy supernova, but a cool, steady ember. Tucked in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, Doberman is a social room for the sharp and curious, a den for the city's secret savants, the visionaries, the figurative, and or literal mountain climbers, the streetwise hustlers. It's where conversations crackle, like desert lightning and ideas flow like

vintage bourbon set to a soulful soundtrack wow they got a they got to open a i for that they get that off gpt or something this is the kind of thing that uh that i is going to fix um check out these drinks though my gosh this is something you might want to put up on the uh yeah put a link put up on the screen so we got here oh yeah um there we'll talk about each of these because it's a nice slow okay so that one comes with what looks like a little japanese thing that one's got Captain Crunch on it or something? Something like that. Oh, it keeps changing.

Then there's no buttons to pause it. Yeah. Nope. You just got a... Are these shakes? What are these special drinks? No, these are cocktails. Okay.

What the hell's that? That dirty old thing. A slice of blood orange there. There's a nice... That looks like just your standard like a coffee, martini kind of thing. There's a... That actually is like your traditional martini.

There it is again. So what is this with the flour? Little Japanese candy. Oh, is that what that is? Okay. But what's that? That's something I could choke on if I'm drinking that. Yeah, I don't like that.

I don't like that at all. Not a fan. How about, let's see. Oh, this is all their bullshit. That's all that. Yeah, but here's a picture of a Doberman coming up that you're going to see. That's actually pretty cool. Is that great?

Yeah. I like his outfit. That looks like a bit of AI if I had to guess. Yeah. That's actually opening one week from today. That is opening the night we do our live TMS Vegas show. Oh, no way. all right so yeah that's definitely uh you see how warpy and so ai yeah look at that look at these

these oranges and apple or these whatever those are you look like tumors that's effed up yes enjoy a lovely bottle of can you oh they okay so yeah you can you can follow them on facebook and stuff well i mean you know good luck to him i guess i don't know i liked it before i thought it was cool yeah that's a cool it is a cool venue but uh yeah this is the way of it They're right. Things change all the time. They're always putting new stuff in. Yeah, that's Vegas. And basically, you know, if there's something you're like, oh, I really want to go check this place out in Vegas, do it because a year from now, it may not exist. So that should always be the rule with that. That weird Netflix, MGM thing. Is that still there? Yeah. That's still there, but that won't be there a year from now. That is, that is literally a pop-up restaurant. So I kind of, I don't want to buy anything there. I just kind of want to go see what the hell they're doing, you know? Yeah. Well, we'll be pretty. close.

I might go over there. We'll be on the strip. Maybe we go check it out Saturday. Yeah, I'd be curious about it. Just from the whole, I want to see all the stupid puns like, here's the burger named after our dumb show we have on Netflix. And here's a, here's a stranger things, upside down cookie or something. I don't know. I like it.

No, I like it. come up with something. I'm the inventive chef, aren't I? How about an upside down? You're a cookie. Yeah, do a cookie. All those kids will love it. Yeah. All right. You're crazy for it. Hey, I got a couple of things. I think we got another dipshits message, although I think this is from somebody who's having to taking the piss a little. They're not really the person. Yeah. No, this person is, I think, right, a copycat dipsitter. Yeah, he's a copycat dipshitter. And here's what he says. Hey, dipshits. your boomer is showing bitching about leaving the lights on i leave my lights on shit i don't

stop there i leave my water boiling on the stove and just add fresh pasta when i need dinner the blender too uh always going just toss in another scoop of protein to work on my gains do your own research he ends with i mean that's fine i love it i don't know who said that but i love it. I think this has the tone. I think this is Jamie. I could be dead wrong. Jamie, you'll confirm in Vegas. You'd let us know if this was you or before that, but I'm pretty sure that's Jamie. I don't know why it sounds like I'm up. Don't work on my gains. Yep. That sounds pretty bro-like. Yeah. Are we going to get greeted in Vegas by a bunch of people calling us dipshits? Like, you know, we walk into the plaza and we bump into Zoe and she says, hey, dipshits. Probably the latest, probably the quickest meme to front-facing use of the mean that we'd ever experience if it does. If that happens, it would be like light speed.

Or is me bringing it up going to prevent it? Oh. That's a good point because now it's too cool. Now it's like we know it's not. Right, exactly. If it would have grown organically, it would have been better. But now that I've brought it up, no. I've just blocked it.

You just uncooled it, man. X. On that same note, Mac Addict, who I think is in the chat today. Anyway, he says this, he had a little thought. He says, on motion sensors on lights, there's a newer technology called millimeter wave that is so sensitive. It essentially can sense your pulse even when bounce through walls. I have a few in my home automation system. That seems like it would go on and off all the time if you had a cat, though, or something.

Yeah, any sort of animal or a plant that opens up during sunlight and closes it when it's dark. yeah yeah that's kind of crazy also i don't know if i'd like the idea of something that can sense my damn heartbeat that's weird to me you know what i mean i'm not saying it's like bad on finish people yeah i'm kidding right you need to have really translucent skin actually this might be perfect for me now i think about it yeah there you go yeah um but that's interesting that's wild so i um he says you have to play with the sensitivity like crazy he says mac addict so there's probably yeah ways you can you can tune it to be best suited yeah but something that can actually go through me and go, that's a human, his pulse is going, we can feel his heartbeat.

I feel like I would always be aware of it, even though you can't feel it. I would always be walking in that room going, oh, shit. Can it hate, you know, I don't know why. There's a scene in Severance, season two, a couple scenes in Severance, season two, where a person or people are walking down a hallway and the lights above them automatically turn on right before they enter a segment of the hallway and the lights behind them turn off. and it's like a really cool effect. I want that for the whole house.

Like, you know, I want it to, like I said before, sense something on my watch, Bluetooth, or RFID or something, my phone, and just automatically as I move through the house. But obviously, I'm not always wearing my watch. I'm not always carrying my phone. So it needs to be some other way of it automatically knowing where I'm moving. I just love the idea of like overhead. Like your own personal ring cloud, it follows you everywhere you go in the house.

So you always have this light right there and nowhere else, right? It's not lighting up a hall room. This would not work for the other people that live with this. But for me, living by myself, just walk through a hall and go, go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go. Just follow me? That's awesome. It's so cool, yeah. Yeah.

It's creepy in the show. You know, Claire says, get yourself a chip, Brian. I am not one of those people who's afraid of the government tracking me with the chip in my arm. I say let them look at my boring-ass life. Oh, my God, he's upstairs just sitting on the couch watching. TV again. Oh, and now he's going to Uber? Real Original. I'm fine with that. And if it means that

when I go to Panera bread and I have to do that whole login to get my free coffee, I can just go, beep, with my arm, my elbow or wherever they put the chip. Great. Great. Let me do that everywhere. Let me buy something at Lowe's. Let me buy something

at Baskin Robbins just by beep in my little arm. And I'm finally... Well, since they're going to come from the private sector, who do you trust to make your chip? Do you want the Elon one? Oh, God, no. Do you want... That's a really good, really good point. Bezos. If Apple

made one, probably be okay with it. You know, he's a wakadoo, but could we get Branson here? You know, I know you guys have him over there in the UK, Richard Branson, his whole virgin thing. A little more normal. He just seems like... Yeah. He does. He's a little on the wackadoo side, but at least he's

he's friendly wackadoo. You know, he's maybe, and maybe you people in the UK, Maybe you guys have a different point of view of Richard Branson. I'd love to hear it. But, oh, Claire says right away, yeah, you don't want him. Well, that's Claire, though. I'm not saying that she's wrong.

I'm saying, I don't know what she means. There's go. Zoe says Richard Branson is great. I mean, let's look at the American crop of billionaires. Not a great, not a great selection. It's, you know, this is the dating game. We don't want Bachelor number one, two, or three. They're all shit.

The best we have is Shark Tank guy. what's his name um oh chin dude owns the owns the dallas sphin rockets or something Dallas mavericks i think is the Dallas mavericks yeah can't think of his name uh that's it mark Cuban Cuban Cuban yeah uh he seems he seems pretty

pretty normal um yeah he had some ideas i like kind of the cut of his jib but it's just most of them they're either like kind of like i'm not sure what i want from you bill gates types or they're like these these pro tech bro muscled out acting like acting like movie villain billionaires. Yes. Shreli and Musk and

Bezos is just a I mean he is he is one snap snap away from Lex Luthor. Yeah. Yeah. If he didn't have that terrible laugh he'd already be there. Right. Speaking to Shreli is he still in prison?

He already get pardoned because he feels like a perfect pardon for the current administration doesn't he? Totally feels like he'd be pardoned yeah i don't even want to really if you're looking it up i'm not going to bother because i don't maybe i don't want to know uh oh he's now and a halfway house but it's just part of his normal uh that was part of his his uh what do you call it his uh what do you call it when you get uh you get your sentence your sentencing is part of his sentencing pro yeah yeah it's just part of the natural process i guess but gotcha he's been in there since okay did five years

in prison tim apple do we what about tim apple would we trust a would we trust a would we trust an RFID chip from Tim Apple? More than the rest of these names you've mentioned. Yeah, true. They actually do seem to give a shit about privacy. We're going to inject some chips into your arms. This is a new product available from Apple. That's right.

Your arm is a product. Oh, yeah, Claire, you want Google doing it? Is that who you want doing it? Yeah. Because let me tell you something. The first episode of Black Mirror this season, that shit would hit a little too close to home. Really? Yeah.

You need to watch that, Brian. I do. I do. Yeah, Tina and I did. We watched the first of the Endor Star Wars movies last night. I greatly enjoyed those first three episodes. Hearing was such good things. I got to sit down and watch those.

It's great. And it doesn't, I just love the fact that it doesn't try to be fan service-y. Like, let's just tell a great story and go from there. We don't have to, let's not try and fit in a, oh, that looks like R2D2 in the background. or, oh, there's a, you know, there's a bloop-a-bloop. Yep, yep. Well, regardless of where we get our chips, look forward to your future, everybody, all right?

Look forward to it. It's going to be great stuff. Thank you, MacAddick. Brian, we've got to update some folks on the MS-150 and how to get a toilet. What's going on? Yeah, it is fundraising week for the MS-150. You know, I think people, if you've already donated, great, I'm not going to say, oh, I wish you would have waited to this week,

because a lot of you probably, well, maybe some of you do it because your accountant said, hey, if you can slip in one more donation, we'll pretend you did it in 2024 and it'll give you a nice little discount on, or it'll take your taxes down a little bit. We found that out. It's really cool. But if you haven't donated and you've been planning on it, this is the week to do it. It's fundraising week and whichever teams raise the most funds get little perks like signs on the road telling us. you know this sign sponsored by ain't too proud to sag or um the funny the thing that our

our team leader our captain is talking about a porta potty somewhere near our tent hopefully far enough that it the the the the odors don't waft into our tent but close enough that uh you want you want to be upwind whatever the opposite of downwind is that's what you want right exactly we want to be upwind so anyway uh t i'm sorry tiny dot c slash bike coverville is where you can make a donation And as always, one buck, two bucks, three bucks, whatever you can afford. If you can do 50 or 100, that's great. But don't feel like, don't feel like it's a waste of time if you only want to, if you're only able to donate $5 or less.

All of it is worth it and all of it goes to a great cause. That's right. Let's wipe out MS once and for all, folks. That's right. Exactly. You guys will continue to provide wonderful dollars in that regard. For sure. All right.

Brian Dunaway in the wings, I think. Ooh. Is he logged in? He is sweet. Let's not clip his wings. No. I will reload the game board. You guys are both logged in.

Good, good boys. Good. Hopefully no weird server shit this time. I don't know what that was about. Oh, yeah. That was really weird. This is the time where I tell you that I will be taking our fourth DM, fourth caller on Discord. You have to be a friend with me.

If you haven't already requested friendship, well, you can do it now. And I will happily receive your friendship. And if you want to be on today's program, well, gosh darn it, you can. So be the fourth as we talk to Brian Dunaway after I play his damn theme, which is now alluding me. There it is. Hey, look who it is. It's our old pal, Brian Dunaway, joining us from South Carolina. Hello, Brian.

How are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hey, pal. Hey, pal, friend of ours. What are you doing? What are you up to? What's going on? Oh, man, just trying to make it through the week.

jealous that you guys are getting ready to go party in Vegas and just couldn't happen this year. Makes me super sad. Until I realize I can sleep in late on Monday. Cool. Yeah. Right? Wait, why? Because you got to... We need sleep in. Like,

you know, it's 11 o'clock your time when we pull you in for half-asses and Tad Pooley feud. You're not sleeping into 11. I got to get up and do calisthenics and, you know, I've got to get ready. Yeah, I can do that whole rocky thing where I run up to the statue and punch

a couple of times. Eat a glass full of raw eggs to prepare for Tad Pooley feud. I can just really, you know, slouch out. What are you? Are you my uncle, Tom or whatever his name was? I can't remember my uncle's name.

Your uncle Tom was a weird unfortunate name. We called him, I think his real name was Tom, but we called him Uncle Tubby. He was a, oh, that's even better. And what's funny about Uncle Tubby,

he wasn't like a fat guy. He was just like a, you know, That's the best insult is when it's not true. Is it? I don't know. Or maybe in his era they... Like calling somebody Slim, you're a little on the heavier side. Hey, Slim.

Yeah, so maybe he was too skinny. I didn't know him very well. I was too young. But anyway, you doing calisthenics, like what year is this? Anyway, we... I get my Jane Fonda, VHS is out. You know, stay on brand. Sure.

We're going to miss you this year, Brian. But we are going to do whatever it takes to make sure that we see you in 2026. no matter what that what that involves if you know i have to talk to audra and like kidnap you um you know she could she could drug you with something and i could just take you on a plane to a b a brachas me i got you yeah exactly yeah why not why not indeed i'm down with that uh we we have we have a participant adding to the call here let's see if it worked is this kizumi hello Hello? Kazumi no speaking.

To make sure you're unmuted and check your mic, check your... Make sure you punch you. Oh, hello, can you guys hear me? Hello, hi. We can hear you now. How's it going? I forgot I had push to talk.

Oh, well. You're a true gamer. That's why. Hey, it's good to have you here. Glad you were a fourth caller today. That's how this works. We take the fourth. And today, you're going to be the fourth person.

in line to win maybe something. But we don't know if you're going to win or not until Brian David explains these rules and what the hell's at stake. Brian do it. Yeah. Well, it's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us.

It is their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Kazumi, your job is more important than ever because you are going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes distance, I'm sorry, distant World's 2 and Diplomacy is not an option. Whoa. Courtesy of Wesley and impressive. Yeah, those are both good games.

Quality stuff there. Also, very different games. So you've got a nice variety today. Good. Yeah. Excellent. Awesome. Well, let's go ahead and get to this. I've got the board pulled up. I've got you guys sitting there with your hands gently resting on your buzzards. And let's see how you guys do with this. We asked

425 or 35. I didn't write. down the number this time, but it's a lot, there's a lot of tadpullers to give their best answer to this. What condiment would you not want to live the rest of your life without? Scott. Shiracha. Sauce. Shri-racha. Show me Shri-racha.

Number seven answer on the board, yeah? I love that stuff. Six answers will beat it. I'll put that on pancakes, man. I love that stuff. I mean, I like it, but I don't know about putting. anything that's not savory yeah it's a you didn't yeah go ahead no no I just I just gonna say I had half a bagel yesterday and I and instead of putting smear on the

bagel or doing anything else with it I just dipped it in saracha on a little plate it was fine it was great yeah it's fine highly recommend it perfect yeah perfect you have an answer to beat it well I mean it's a head of course I mean just by the very mere fact that people exist sugared tomato sauce aka ketchup is definitely the one most people cannot live without. All right, well, let's take a look. Show me, ketchup.

Yeah, number one answer on the board. Eighty-one people out of the 400 and whatever said ketchup. Which means that, Brian, you get control of the board and you get Kazumi as a partner. Two of you are now working together. Let's see what you come up with for the remaining eight answers on the board. Power couple.

What do you got? What do you think? you got something? Cholula. Oh, yeah. Cholula, baby. A lot of that here. All right.

Show me Chalula. Plipped it into hot sauce because people had a mix of things like Franks, Red Hot, Hot, Chalula, Tabasco. They all kind of lumped into hot sauce, especially since hot sauce was like 30 people and then two, one and one of the other ones. I'm like, all right, let's put them all together. that makes sense too because when you go to a table like a breakfast place those are all grouped together as it is that's how they're all right there right perfect and sometimes if they say hey would you like any hot sauce you're like oh yeah what do you got says we have hot sauce and they just bring you a bottle of whatever whatever they got with no label right exactly yeah all right you guys are doing it isn't it the darker it is the spice the hotter it is isn't that usually the rule of them with hot sauce I don't know I think it depends on the peppers right because there's some green peppers that are really hot Yeah, and you know, Chipotle hot sauce is usually like smokier and earthier and darker than regular Tabasco. And I don't like regular Tabasco, but I love Chipotle Tabasco. Oh, Chipotle Tabasco is so good.

I got you. Yeah, no, it's fine. You do that all the time. But Brian's right. That Tabasco in that form, there's nothing like it. Whereas regular Tabasco, I'd rather dump that and they like. It's terrible. It's not good.

So, as far as I'm, because. concerned, that is Tabasco. All right, Brian Kazumi, take us. And Jayfunkastic, because of you recommending it, I got a couple bottles of Cajun chef hot sauce. You are not wrong. This stuff is great. Yeah, it's really good. And the flavor is not

one and done. It's like it's smooth. It stays with the flavor. So, very cool. Yeah, we put a bit of that in Kim's, uh, what do you call it? Her jambalaya. It's very good in there. Good stuff. Yeah. Not too much, but enough. Anyway, cool. The board is still yours, boys.

Yeah, you can still have it. There are six points for Kazumi and seven points for Scott. So you've got to do a little bit to catch up. Kazumi, what other condiments you'd like to stick in your face? Well, I have a whole tray in my fridge of all the condiments I cook with my food. Do you want to go easy or difficult? I would like to get some points, but I'd also like to stay in play. So it's a good question.

I always love when people ask me a question. Do you want to go easy or difficult? I'm on anything Yeah I should take my card to grease like me Well do you want to go easy or difficult The more difficult ones will give us more points Bigger reward

But bigger risk That it won't be on the Well let's go ahead and knock off mustard Yeah there we go Let's knock off mustard That's what I'm always telling people I'm so sick of that mustard guy I love the uh

Show me the only condiment You should be putting on your hot dogs Show me mustard So not mustard and ketchup You don't want both? Nope. Just mustard. Just mustard on my hot dog.

You like a chili? A hot dog. Chili's great on a hot dog. There's so many things that are good on a hot dog. But let me tell you, Brian's right. Ketchup is bad. Do you like chili? Yeah.

I like chili. And I do a chili dog outside the tasty freeze, but I also like Chicago dogs where they put all that extra stuff on there. So if you're going to do one, one condiment, mustard nothing else. If you're going to give me more than one item, I want to go all the way with a, with a, you know, a Chicago dog which is like second that the meat is secondary i want to go all the way with a hot dog that's why i heard um where i live uh you know the simple quick chili for your hot dog it's just going to be some ground up beef uh throw some ketchup in there put some chili sauce in it so it's kind of already got ketchup in it yeah for a lot of us yeah yeah right yeah i don't know

Fair enough. Fair enough. What do you think, Kazumi? Do you like chili? Well, chili, okay. I like spicy chili. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that might be working. Maybe that as a chili sauce. A chili sauce on our, on our, on our, yeah, for as a condiment, I like chili sauces.

All right. Sure. All right. See if you can get it. Show me. Show me spicy chili. Oh. But I would have, so I would have given you, um, if it was higher in the list and it

definitely should be crispy chili. like you can get these jars of stuff we've talked about on TMS before these jars of stuff that are like it's garlic crispy with chili and oil and stuff that stuff is incredible and that should way it should be way higher on the list than it is I agree we have a big bottle of that in the fridge some Korean stuff so good all right I'm going to add ranch dressing to this list because that's one of mine I wouldn't be able to live that's number three go ahead and reveal it a bunch of ranch folks yeah all right a bunch of Basic people, look at you. Let's go to the ranch. Show me ranch dressing. Number six, actually. Lower, but that means more points.

But, yeah. Hmm. Okay, that's interesting. I don't know what I thought that would happen there. All right. People do use that with everything, too, right? They'll dip their pizza into that. They'll put it with wings.

They'll have it with salad. Oh, God. It's obscene what people would do with ranch around here. It belongs in salad. where it started, where it belongs, damn it. It's right. Every deep fried thing you can get at the Iowa State Fair comes with a site of ranch, probably.

Rightly so. It kind of broke down like that, right? They started with like, okay, I'm going to eat a little healthier. I'm going to eat my pizza, but I'm also going to have a salad with a little ranch. And then eventually it was like, forget the salad. Just give me the pizza and the ranch and I'm good. Do you think it started because people had a little bit of ranch dressing left in the bottom of their bowl from their salad?

And they said, ooh, let me wipe some of my pizza in there. Yeah. Now, that's good. I do that with bread. I do that. I do love my ranch. I'll put it on almost anything. I'm learning that Scott likes to sop stuff up. I do. Make a really good southerner.

I'm a sopper. I like sopping stuff and I also like crispy stuff. So give me the combo of like a nice crispy piece of garlic bread and some leftover ranch. I'm in. I'm all in. All right. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, oh, I just, oh, salsa should be on here. I don't know why it's not. Salsa. Salta.

Not just a condiment, but a dance. Show me salsa. Yeah, that's a good. Eight. Ooh, good points. 21 points for Scott. Eight points. I think we can run the board regardless.

I think this is going to happen here. I think you can. Looking at what's left on the board, you guys still have five strikes left between the two of you. You guys can totally knock this whole board out. I'm a little surprised how low it is on the list, though. I thought that would be higher, too. And I will say, just because somebody in the tadpool asked,

I lumped spicy mustard. Gray Poupon, yellow mustard, all into the mustard category. That is the right way to do that for sure. No,

it's the worst mustard sauce ever. Putting all those together like that gross. Well, don't put them together, yeah. But I'll eat any of those

on a hot dog. All right. Honey mustard? Yeah, oh yeah. That's not a problem. I'll do that. I mean, it's maybe not my first choice,

but I'd do it. Let's see here. Let us do, let's fly to the Asian part of the world and put a little soy sauce on our business. Soy sauce, please.

Sure. Soy sauce. Absolutely good for dipping your, they tell you not to do this. They tell you it's not traditional. Mm-hmm. But dipping your sushi, your, your, your, nigiri into soy sauce. They say it's bad form. You're supposed to use that stuff very sparingly.

No. Whatever. Not my house. I put my wasabi in there. I put enough wasabi in there that it's like a, oh, God. An opaque mixture and then I dump my, uh, digri right into it. Yep. Show me.

us. Scott is running the right side of that board. Number nine, 30 points now, which means- Dang it, Kazumi. It looks like we're going to have to break the board.

All right. That means we can kind of, we can work together if we want. Boy, I'm tempted to do one that I know a lot of people actually kind of hate. Oh, really? Yeah,

I'll say it. I'm just thinking a jury, but strong emotions. Let's do mayo, mayonnaise. Yeah, strong emotions. Helmins or Dukes? Neither.

We have out here we have, what's the one we have out West, Brian? Miracle Whip? Not Miracle Whip. That's the... Oh, Helmonds? Not Helmins. Helmins, Miracle Whip. It's another brand.

Well, Miracle Whip's not the same as any of those. It's not even mayonnaise. For the record, I did not lump Miracle Whip into the mayonnaise because it is a different thing. And I'm telling you this because it's so far down on the list that I'm not giving you anything. It'd be a miracle if it was on there. Yeah. Miracle whip is gross. Um, best foods.

Is that the one we have out here? Maybe it, I forget. Bring out the best foods and bring out the best. Yeah, that's it. I think I'm thinking of that. We're in big trouble. Yeah. I think that's it.

Um, all right. So, yeah, mayonnaise. All right. Show me. Don't hold the mayo. I'm scared. Okay. It is number three.

Terry's not here. And it's funny how many people said, screw jury mayonnaise. I couldn't live without mayonnaise for the rest of my life. Yeah. And they're right. Now, I'll tell you a white bread, baloney. Oh, sorry. Go ahead.

Oh, a couple of people mentioned the best mayonnaise to get, which is Cupy mayonnaise, which comes in that weird little, I dream of genie-shaped bottle. Oh, yeah. I dream of Gini. That's going to be a title. But you get that at the Asian food markets, and it's the best mayonnaise. It's really good. I don't know what they're doing with it.

I kind of don't want to know, but it is very, very good. Nothing better than some sunbeam bread, white as can be, with some mayonnaise and a slice of bolognaz on a trip to come out of somebody's cooler. Yeah, that is delicious. Yeah, that's my childhood right there. That's everything we ever did at a park, a getaway, down to going to Lake Powell, whatever. Bologna sandwiches out of a cooler. Yep. People are saying a couple people saying Duke's mail.

I think I need to try Dukes in there. You haven't tried Dukes? Oh, man, Dukes is a different world. I think Duke's very, Dukes is very regional, I think. I don't know if you can get there. We eat nothing but Dukes here. They're Greenville, Greenville, South Carolina. So you can open your window and probably smell Dukes.

Yeah. Yep. You know what, Duke's mayonnaise. Duke's mayonnaise is French for John Wayne's sperm. I don't know if you knew that. Oh, wow. Yeah. Interesting.

Yeah. It is kind of. tangy, so I could see that. Yeah, just a little, oh, I don't want to know why you know that. All right, moving on. Let's go with relish, I suppose, another hot dog favorite. I don't like it personally. I'm not a big fan of relish, but.

Mint pickles, right? Is that what that is? Yeah. Yeah. Not my favorite thing. It's fine, though. Show me. Relish.

Oh, I'm shocked by this. We're back in, Kazumi. We're back in. Yeah. Damn, dude. Reluge close, number 14 in the list. should I relish the thought

Yeah Yeah MAM Nicely done All right So there's no way for you to catch up But you just

Oh my god This is getting bad You guys are a bunch Just so much of I can't say that You can't do it You were supposed to top it You didn't do it

I'm sad No I could do it I could do it You're a bunch of must Dirt Oh I see I could have really Emphasized

And that would have been bad The only way is it for to win is if you guys were on the board, so you mustard get all of the remaining answers. Bingo, there you go. That was it.

That's what we're looking for, guys. All right, give us your best shot for 4 and 10. Right. Any other dressings that might be on there? Blue cheese. I was trying to think of. I thought like, you know, like honey musters and that kind of stuff,

but Ibbett said he put that in with the other mustards. What do you think? What do you think? Yeah, blue cheese or Catalina or something like that. Oh, yeah, blue cheese and kids. Is that not just, ranch dressing for a lot of people?

No. Like chunks? No. I'm just saying. No, it's blue cheese dressing. Have you looked at this board, there are not people with much discretion. All right? It's what the tadpool says.

Is miracle what the same days? No. How about some barbecue? Everybody puts, my house smelled like barbecue every day because I used that Maris barbecue sauce that every day I come home and like, who's been eating the barbecue sauce? That's actually a great answer. I think barbecue sauce is it barbecue sounds good

Yeah All right Do it All right Let's get to it Show me BBQ sauce It is number four

Absolutely yeah Okay I'm gonna go I'm gonna go out on a limb And tell you guys That you might get Horse radish at 10 or 11 I don't know that for sure

And I don't want to put you in a bad place I'd really like him to win But I'm just saying It's possible Did you lump horsey sauce Arby's horsey sauce Of horse radish together I would hope so

I would have, if anyone would have said horsey sauce, which nobody did, although I do, I do like me some horsey sauce on my Arby's for sure. Dude, that's a delicious. Oh, if you're at Arby, like I don't, I know it isn't good horseradish, but when you're at Arby's, of course you're going to, because it's, it's fantastic in the context of Arby's, which is a very specific context, yeah. If you're feeding me a steak and you give me, like if I'm at a restaurant and I say, oh, can I get some cornice radish and you bring me the creamy. stuff, I'm going to send it back to say, no, raw, horse rash. Yeah, Brian's going to have. Everything you just said it was great. Brian's going to. Bring me the creamy stuff.

Brian's going to punch the waiter. It's not going to go well. This is all going to be part of Kanye West's new song. So make sure to stay tuned for that. Sweet. Can't wait. I had an idea. What about Buffalo sauce, or did that count as a hot sauce? Oh, that's a really good question.

That lumped into hot sauce because Frank's red hot is the, yeah. How about Heinz 57 or A1 sauce. Those are always popular like steak sauce. Now I'm just going with shit this in my refrigerator. Well, no, you could say steak sauce. I think that that's a good category. Yeah. What do you think about that? Gizumi, what do you think?

Yeah, steak sauce sounds good. All right. Does sound good. Let's eat it. It does. I'm just getting really hungry right now. Yeah, I know, right? Show me steak sauce. It was let's see, in the list number 15

steak sauce. All right. Scott's going to take a bullet for the U-Tons and say pink sauce. U-Tons. Pink sauce or fry sauce. That's my next answer. Oh, yeah, yeah. Shrimp sauce is what we usually call it around here. Yeah, everyone's got a different idea on that, but I think that's on here.

Sure. All right. Show me pink sauce. Oh, you guys! Oh, I really felt like that'd be up here. I know. It's a good guess, and I love me some pink sauce. The, uh, is that going to get isolated too?

Probably is. pink sauce only um uh let's see yeah pink sauce wasn't even listed fry sauce one person suggested fry sauce which is crazy to me can you tell me the name just curious if it's a local oh i don't know i don't know the names these are all these are all anonymous all right well i hope kevin or hooty or a few others uh jim any of you guys did that you give thumbs up from me even though we didn't get a point yeah yeah uh all right brian you guys have it again yeah one answer on the board the big 10 and the um the bonus 11 hasn't been suggested either selected either so i just had some yum yum sauce earlier oh yeah that's oh yum yum is good is it yum yum sauce can i ask a question of the judge sure the judge can can most of these come in a bottle you squeeze them out or pour them out or something but some people might consider like oh there's a garnish on this or there's a I don't know, I'm trying to think of a better, like,

like you go to a Korean place, they've got bowls of that stuff, right? Yeah, actually, I will tell you that the number 10 answer and the 11 bonus are not things that come in a, like, squeezable bottle. These are not, these are not sauces that you would pour, or...

I was thinking about that, I'm like, was it cheese a lay sauce or, you know, like the sweet and sour sauce for McDonald's, I was trying to think about all the... All the bad eating habits of our listeners. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I would actually say you're going to be closer if you either. This is just a hint, and I'm not, it's not my turn, but I would say, like, kimchi. I'd do kimchi or I would do like daikon or I would do, I mean, kimchi seems like a really safe bet to me.

And so now after saying that, I have no idea, I haven't seen the list, now you guys make your choice to do what you want to do. But you do know that these two things are not in squeeze bottles. That's important. So a spoonable thing. Yeah, possibly. Spoonable or spritable? Spreadable, maybe. Oh, butter.

Oh, butter, shit. Of course. Butter. That's a condiment. Say butter. Butter? Yeah. Don't know he does.

How about some butter? Oh, that's a great yes. Let's see if it's on there. Show me butter. Yeah, number 10 answer. Better butter. I was worried, you know, with one strike. left for each of you that you might get hung up with like horseradish or kimchi, which

both of which should be higher on the list. I don't think you guys actually even guessed horseradish, but that should have been way higher than it than it was. Yeah, there you go. All 10 answers. Number 11 was your, if I told you it was shakeable, would that tell you what number 11 is? Salt? Salt. Okay. Yeah. Condiment, seasoning. I don't know where the line is on that. If it's a, yeah.

You need it to live, right? I mean, you're still putting it on something to add flavor to a thing that's kind of a condomint and a seasoning. And also, some of these hot sauces, especially the thin ones, those are just adding flavor slash seasoning. What sauce basically is. Watered salt. Yeah.

Watered salt. This is that whole is a hot dog a sandwich argument. Basically, you should just make everything whatever you want. Kind of on that same note, number 13 is pepper. number 16 is honey honey is a great one especially like hot honey which also had one mention cheese somebody said

which you think all right maybe not necessarily yeah but if you think of maybe nacho cheese that kind of is a how about easy cheese got yeah that would absolutely yeah we talked about easy cheese for a while back you and I and I think easy cheese counts

absolutely yep uh... veggamite we pretty much can guess So what region of the country somebody submitted that one. Cain sauce, which is your, it's kind of like your fry sauce, but from Cains. Coffee creamer, gozygong, or goshiong. Goshong. Never say that right, but I think that counts, yeah.

I don't either. Horse radish, way down on the list. Kimchi, also surprisingly way down on the list, knowing what, you know, people like here. Marinera, Marmite, McDonald's Seshwan sauce, pepper jelly, Pesto Um, Sambal, I'm guessing Sambal Olik, which is, I guess, more of a seasoning. Sommel Olic, yeah, we have a bunch in our, uh, here somewhere. Carter loves that stuff.

Oh, I do too. Uh, Sourcrow. Oh, I love Sourcrow. Give me a hot dog with sourcrow. Yeah. Or brought. Uh, sweet chili sauce, uh, Taco Bell mild sauce. That's so me.

That's so me. I'm such a wuss. Tuna fish. Okay. I'm not sure what somebody's thinking a condiment is, but okay. Vanilla, vinegar, what's this here sauce or Worcestershire? Worcestershire, Worcestershire, yeah. And finally my favorite, wasabi.

Oh, wasabi. I am not a fan of wasabi, but I respect you for having a basabi. It's kind of offensive what we're doing here. All right. Hey, good job, everybody. wait. This means Kazumi walks away a winner and we cleared the board. That's always a nice thing. Congratulations. What are you going to do

with your big winnings? You're going to install them immediately and just play immediately or what? What are you going to do? Yeah, I'm going to instantly install them. And I just want to say, Scott, I miss you in the Corps Guild. Yeah. I've been a while. I've missed raid a ton. I'll be back.

Your mom in our prayers and my grandmother's going through something similar right now. So, thanks, man. I appreciate that. I miss hearing your voice and chat over there. uh and having me screw up as a tank so that you have to start over and wipe a lot but uh don't worry i'll be back at some point that will happen um thanks for playing thanks for being here and may all your drops be good bye all right wonderful hey done away uh hey scott we don't have we don't know we don't know what we're doing yet for play retro as far as timing goes because it's all weird with

Maybe we watch an episode of Silverhawks. I mean, I'm not saying it's going to happen. Don't want to promise anything, but maybe the patron supporters get a little love. Maybe a little something.

It's nice to see you. Tom, how are you? Never think of myself as Mr. Las Vegas. I feel I think of myself as Mr. has to go to Las Vegas a lot more than he ever thought he would. Yeah.

I'll be even more than he wants to. Yeah, maybe a little bit. I just thought that I don't love it. Sure. But yeah. It's a lot. This upcoming one, though, I am very much looking forward. Oh, well, good.

This will be your first time being there for the whole event, like actually being there for the Wednesday night stuff too, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been slowly increasing the amount. Yes, I know, exactly. We do we'd get you. We'd just kept plugging away. We'd finally get you worn down to where you stay for the whole thing.

Heck yeah. Yeah, you know, having a potty trained dog helps. There's all kinds of other reasons that help. But yeah, I'm looking forward to it. This is going to be fun. Yeah, it's going to be super fun. Well, before then, though, there's, like, obviously a lot of things you've got to cover and take care of before you leave, including the Daily Tech News show. Or the Daily Tech News show.

Why does that sound wrong? DTNS. Daily Tech, for short. You know what it is? Sometimes you say things enough that it doesn't feel like they're. It starts to sound wrong, yeah. You know what I know what it is. I'm used to now saying live at the end all the time, and it's messing me up.

Oh, yeah. Anyway, it doesn't matter. The live version and the regular. Yeah, it just sounded weird, but anyway. Like classic Coke and new Coke. Yeah, like that, except less of a mistake, more of an awesome thing that you've done, right? Yeah. Anyway, Tom Merritt is here to tell us about the tech news of the day, so why don't you tell us?

What's going on out there that we should be aware of here? Like classic Coke and cherry Coke. There you go. Nailed it. One is just a delicious version. So, yeah, I'm almost finished up with my write-up on the European Commission's fine. against Apple and meta. Are you interested in that? Or should we just talk about Nintendo

accidentally underestimating demand for the Switch 2? Those are the two big stories out there. I mean, the big one for our audience, probably the Switch 2 one, but I guess I am mildly curious. Were the meta and the Apple suits similar? Like, were they of the same ilk?

They're not suits. They're not suits, judgments, whatever they are. If you want a full breakdown, get Daily Tech News show. and we will definitely help you understand this, and then you can be the smartest person in the room about this particular topic. But the short version is the Digital Markets Act in the EU requires gatekeepers in a market, right? And it can be different for different markets, right?

You may be a gatekeeper in one market and not another. For example, the EC has determined that meta is not a gatekeeper in e-commerce because Facebook Marketplace doesn't have enough business users to meet the definition. But META is a gatekeeper in online social services, so Instagram and Facebook. And that was one of the findings. The EC looked into their compliance with Digital Markets Act's requirements that they get informed consent in order to get you targeted advertising. The DMA, and GDPR too, but the DMA says, look, you've got to make sure that you have asked people, may we target you, with ads before you target them with ads.

What Facebook did was implement a fee. So they said, you can use our product for free with targeted ads, or you can pay and not have targeted ads. And the EC found that that is not a free choice. Interestingly, meta has already changed that to two free options. You can be targeted for ads if you somehow want to. Or you can have less personalized ads, which are contextual. just based that's what duck duck go does like based on what's on the page right now we serve an ad

uh or you can pay and have no ads so they still have the pay and have no ads they reduce the cost of the pay and have no ads so the new policy is not being judged they're being fined for having the old policy before they changed it oh gotcha what's the job what's the total uh damage there like money wise what do we talk uh the total meta has to pay is 200 million euros though they're going to appeal it so we'll see if that sticks but uh for now it's 200 million euros Apple is being fined specifically for not letting developers who use the App Store link out outside of their apps to other payment methods. And so they allow this in the EU. That's actually where I was going just now is to figure out exactly what they allow.

What they allow right now is you can link out, but you have to pay a percentage of anything you make from that. link. And the EC is like, that is not proper compliance with the DMA. You need to just let them link. You can't charge them for that. I tend to agree. So, all right, well, that's interesting. So all these guys, you know, big companies spending, you know,

Zuckerberg, what's that one less painting on his wall in his bunker in Hawaii? He'll be fine. He'll be all right. I don't know what it's going to hit Apple for. But yeah, the EU out there doing the work, man. $500 million euros for Apple. Geez. Well, they still have a huge they'll be fine.

Well, and here's the thing on that. The DMA allows the EC to charge up to 10% of global annual revenue. So, you know, a company makes $10 billion, they could be charged, well, let's say, a company makes $100 billion. They could be charged $10 billion, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a lot. So they could have some pretty stiff fines here.

However, in this case, they're fining them 0.1% of their global annual revenue. I think the idea is like they're going to keep coming at them, so they don't want to hit them with a debilitating fine after debilitating fine. They want to start small and keep increasing it as a way to put pressure on them to stop, not complying. Gotcha. Well, all right. So there's that. But now the real meat and potatoes, why on earth did Nintendo underestimate the demand? Because that sounds insane to me that they...

Yeah. Yeah. I doubt they did. So the question is, why are they saying that? I imagine it's a it's an exercise in knowing it was going to be a high demand having a complex global supply chain anyway and dealing with the current confusion over imports and exports they probably have less flexibility in their supply chain than they used to so theoretically I don't know this I'm just going off of the things I do know to make an

educated guess. Theoretically in the past, Nintendo makes all their switch twos in Vietnam and then ships them around the world to wherever the demand is. So they don't have to know exactly which market is going to have how many sales. They know that generally it's going to be around this much. And if one market is lower, another market might be higher and it averages out. Right now, as we know, they had to switch. They had to switch.

They had to send a bunch of switch twos to the United States ahead of terror. just in case, even though some of those tariffs have now been lowered, and that means they don't want to send them back out of the U.S., which reduces flexibility in the supply chain, which means, well, we've got this much for Japan, that's what we got. So when we get more orders than that, what do we do? And maybe one of the things they decided to do was be shocked, shocked that so many people are ordering switch tubes. Yeah, because I guess in theory it's still sort of true that you underestimated what part of your

supply chain would receive the most demand, but it's not quite the same as underestimating consumer demand, right? It might not even be underestimating. It might be saying, in order to make sure we can avoid tariffs, we're going to have to under supply certain markets. Yeah. Because we won't have the flexibility we had in the past. Yeah. Well, that's interesting. I think they're going to do Wednesday is it today. No, tomorrow's pre-orders. I guess tonight at midnight, you can order. You can pre-order your switch. They were supposed to send out emails to people. based on, I don't know what that was about. You could basically show your end.

You went to the site and said, yeah, I'm interested in that one with the bundled Mario Kart thing. And then they were going to, we'll let you know about early access to maybe buying it pre-orders before. Thanks for being a member, whatever. And then I've heard nothing about that. I wonder if that all got just shoved to the side. It was no longer.

Guess what? We can't give anyone early access. Yeah, that could be. Because that was all prior to the ninth, which was the original date for the pre-order before it all got kibosh. So I don't know. And I wouldn't be shocked. if once they had to move the date, they were like, yeah, we're not going to be ordering,

we're not going to be enabling early access. That's just not going to happen. I am going to do, I want one and I need one actually for Cora. We need it for the show. So that's how I'm justifying it. But I'm not really all that. I'm not interested in like jumping through hoops to make sure day one, minute, one, midnight. I don't think I have got that in me. I'm going to let it be what it's going to be. That's part of the story. How available are these going to be? Or were they already gone? Are we going to get them later in the year? Like, I'm kind of just going to let that be what it's going to be and be a normal consumer on the same stage.

I like that. I like that approach to be like, that is how I bought the GameCube back in the day. Nice. I wanted a GameCube and I wasn't following the whole situation so closely that I knew about when they went on sale. I just knew the weekend that it came out like, oh, let's get a GameCube called around because, you know, back then you didn't order online nearly at all. called around and found a Toys R Us that had one, I said, can you hold it for me? They laughed.

We drove over there and it was still on the shelf and we got it. But, you know, a lot of people were shocked that I was able to get one because I just had dumb luck. I didn't plan, but that was a true consumer experience. And I like your idea of saying like, yeah, I'm going to wake up on the morning of the pre-orders and try to order it and see what happens. Yeah, I think I am. It sounds like you're going to do something similar. Maybe, yeah.

Pricing, you know, even though it didn't go up because of tariffs, it's still some financial stuff that I've got to kind of get organized here after taxes and after the water heater, not the hot water heater, but the water heater that we needed to buy. So we'll see. It might be later in the year. But that'll be enough time for them to, you know, figure out supply chains and iron out the kinks. and who knows. Yeah, and it was already, you know, it's already a higher price point.

It's Brian of its problem. It's subscribe to daily music headlines, right? Oh, yeah, that's the solution. Exactly. Solve that, yeah. Go subscribe, and then Brian gets a switch. Everybody's happy. Yeah.

And a water eater. Do you want Brian taking cold showers? Subscribe to Daily Music Headlines. Exactly. Oh, my God. What's taking you so long? This is the most, this is the most organic promo we've ever done at the end of your segment. That's amazing.

Go fund to buy Nintendo Switch is what we're doing with Daily Music. music headlines. I will say one more thing. The cool thing about Tom being in Vegas is doing a live show on Monday of the Daily Tech News show. I'm involved. Brian's involved. Others are involved. I forgot who all is going to be there physically. Bobby and Morgan-Morah. Dr. Nikki are teaming up on a science of casinos segment. That's right. I can't wait to talk about that. I can't wait to hear them talk about that. And then, yeah, just all the stuff that they do in casinos to keep you locked in there. Maybe we do the tech of Taskville for my segment.

That's actually a great idea. Why not? Yeah. I won't talk about what we did this year because I want people to be surprised on Wednesday, but I can talk about previous years and what's been involved in that sort of thing. So the electrocution technology will be next year. Right, right. That'll be next year. We'll talk about the rubber mouth guard,

the nipple clamps and the jumper cables and car battery. I can't believe you got me to reveal all that. Yeah. Well, that's awesome. I can't wait to see you, Tom. As always, everybody be checking out Daily Tech News Show. Daily Technewshow.com.

And today on the live edition, I will be there talking, I forget what I'm talking about. I'm talking about something. Oh, the shadow drop of the new Elder Scrolls game, the remake of four, Elder Scrolls 4 slash oblivion. And why that is significant. We're not going to talk about the game itself. Forget about that. But why is it significant to take an old IP and shadow drop them in the middle of nowhere and sell a freaking metric ton of these things overnight.

It was insane what this thing did. So I'm going to analyze that a little bit and more a little bit later today, 2.30 mountain time. Tom Merritt, or no, 2 p.m. Mountain Time. Yes, 1 p.m. Pacific. 2 p.m. There hasn't been a 30 in a long time. Why did I say that? I don't know. Yeah. I'll have it to die out. I blame it on the moon. All right. Tom, have fantastic week, and we'll see you in Las Vegas. Bye now.

Thanks, y'all. All right. What the hell I was doing there? Okay, Brian, we do, what do we do now? We do recommendals. That's what we do. Yes. Yes.

In fact, it's, I have it in another tab and you're still on Tom. Really? On my YouTube, it fell behind. I guess it just fell behind. Oh, weird. Yeah, they do. Something that happens, yeah. They let you scrub on there, which is. maybe when it falls behind it takes advantage of that tech and you could jump ahead. I don't know. I have no idea. Oh, there's Nicole. Hi, Nicole. How are you?

I'm good. Good. Where are you? Are you in the car again? I'm in the car again. Where are you going? I dropped off I dropped off an encouraging note to my daughter when she takes her

I I'm an enigma At this moment Yeah All I know All I know about Mark Spagnolo right now Is he's selling

Stools He is selling his stool You can eye his Yeah, it's for science. Is there a way that I could get like a smaller version? Like, can I get a stool sample by chance? It's a sample of a stool. Gross.

Well, I wish him luck in his fecal analysis. And in the meantime, let's go ahead and do recommendals. We're going to start with Brian, as we always do. He's got a little clip here, all set to go. Tell us what you got. I do. This was a discovery that I was so happy to find. You know, I like road trip movies, right?

You got a couple characters, sort of an odd couple having to go cross-country and they don't agree and problems. You know, they're trapped in a car together and they just don't get along. And, you know, that in and of itself is great. But then you put these two actors that I'm going to tell you about after we listen to the clip, you hear these two actors together like, how is this movie not more well-known with these two actors? By the way, you're hearing what happens after one of them is trying to, gives up trying to kill the other one or who is hired to kill the other one doesn't do it.

Oh, my gosh. Unsuccessful in his tasks to kill them. Unsuccessful in killing the other one. Correct. Here we go. You can't do it, can you? Doesn't look like it. Oh.

You don't look like the type. Sorry. He's going to kill me. Oh, yeah, no, he'll kill me. He's just... Stay right there, stay right there. It's okay. I can talk to him.

What? I'll go to Armin. I can talk about all of this. That ain't going to work. Yeah, no. He's... He's just mad. I can fix it.

Just let me try. Armand's not a rational man. There's no talking to him. You need to go away. Out of the country. Out of the country? Yeah, I'm going to tell him that I killed you, but you need to go away.

I can't. Sure you can't. I don't have a passport. What? I got busted moving coke over the border seven years ago. It wasn't that bad. I got out on good behavior after a year, but I just can't get a passport for a while.

Oh, my gosh, I love her and I love him. Shea Wiggum, right? Is that Shea Wiggum? Yeah. Like, love him. How am I just now finding out that there is a road trip movie starring Shea Wigam and Carrie Coon, two of my favorite. You see these people in movies and you're like, all right, I'm in for some good stuff. They were last together in season, yeah, season three of Fargo. They were in the same season. Oh, were they really? Okay. Don't realize they crossed like that.

Anyway, this is a 2024 film called Lake George. There are two films that came out in 2024 called Lake George. Don't get the two confused. This is the one that is... What's the other one? The other one is more of like a gangster, I don't know, like much more of a darker film. This is a much more... I was hoping it was like a monster, a monster film.

Right, kind of like... Yeah. Wait, wait, you wanted like the creature to be named Lake George. Is that what you're saying? No, I think she wanted the creature to come out of Lake George. I'm with the George would be in the lake. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. I want that too. That's what I want. George. I'm George of the lake. Evil George. That's amazing. I'm sorry. I sidetracked. That's all right. Let's just hope, you know, at least they've covered it for 20, 24. There's still time in 2025 to get your Lake George Monster movie, Nicole. So, Shea Wiggin plays a former hitman that he just got out of jail, right? Just put in 10 years.

And jail came out and is getting hired for the quote unquote one last job by Armin, this mafia boss, mobster boss, to kill Phyllis, who's played by Carrie Coon, an ex. ex-girlfriend, old flame kind of thing. And, um, uh, and she can't do it. This all happens in the first few minutes of the movie, so not a spoiler. Happens in the trailer. The fun is the, the fact that these two go on a road trip together to kind of, um, get her somewhere safe so he doesn't have to kill her, but also, you know, maybe get something a little, a little money along the way and what they have to do for that.

Um, this is your, your perfect combination of, um action comedy and a little bit of of heart you know there's some very touching moments uh she wiggum is getting on in years and uh um isn't in the best of health in this film and so uh you know kind of got to take it easy i love his i mdb photo by the way it's like it's great it's like it's got the patrick uh thing on the scarf right right and he just looks so irritated the Dias Devin's picture taken. Like, yeah, did you get it? Are you done? Yeah. He strikes me as a guy who maybe doesn't like to, doesn't like this part of Hollywood. He just wants to act. I could be dead wrong. It's just the impression he gives, you know? No, but I get that. I get that too. Um, this is, uh, this is currently airing on Hulu. I'm the one lone Hulu choice this week. Everybody, all the rest of you guys are all Netflix. Oh, well. I just, I just got to say, man, Scott put up this picture of Shea Wiggum. And the

subject matter here has me thinking about a real pain. He looks just like a combination of those two people. Like you took Jesse Eisenberg. Jesse Eisenberg. Yeah, and smashed them together. And that is so weird. You know, that's not too far off the bark. You're right.

Now I can't unsee it. Great. This is fantastic. Oh, so, so true. That's really funny. That's great. Anyway, it's this is one that I, that I, somebody recommended to me, and I hadn't even heard about it. But after watching it, I'm like, how does nobody else know about this?

It's got a 96% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but there are so few people who've seen it for an audience rating. There is no audience rating. It's less than 50 reviews. Did this even go to theaters, or would this go straight to Hulu, or do we know? It went to the Tribeca Film Festival. So they tried to get it out there. released yeah did it get released uh limited theatrical release december 6 of last year um so it did go to a few theaters but um these these small personal films they just don't get the they don't get

the exposure that they used to it's true yeah yeah and and super low budget so the director um is a guy named geoffrey reiner and i don't know what else he's done but they used they used his car for for filming as well as his sister's house in California. Love it. I love it. So, you know, like just feels like it's so straight a month out of film school that they're having to do this.

But this guy's done a ton of stuff. He's directed blood and concrete, the Sentinel, haunted, a couple episodes of Friday Night Lights, Caprica, trauma. Yeah, a lot of TV.

A lot of TV. A lot of TV. High Fidelity series, Surface, Homeland. oh my gosh he was an editor on basketball back in 98 holy shit oh he also worked on Fargo that's probably how he hooked up at these guys probably the season yeah probably the season that uh yep looks like filmed them in 2015 which would have been three how old do our kids have to be before we show him basketball um oh also orgasmo uh orgasmo orgasmo save it till they're dead no one wants to see orgasmo but okay basketball i think i'm

17, 18. Okay. Thank you. No problem. I've always got that info right here. How old should my kid be before they start playing Bioshock? 14. The first time I played it, I was like in my 30s or something and I was not old enough at that point.

I was not ready for Bioshock. You weren't ready for the little sisters thing probably, whatever they were called. Yeah, I'd say 14. Matt started playing it. oh how is he what is he 12 now 11 12 13 13 he's probably okay but he's like oh yeah probably well I've already warned him about the little sisters and I've told him what to do yeah they're a little freaky and yeah well the first time you see him for sure yeah the main thing is by the way a little bit of digging and it's funny he actually um Jerry Jeffrey Rainer actually directed some uh 2015 what season is this season two Kristen Dunn's, Jesse Plemans, Ted Danson, Gene Smart, season of Fargo. Oh, that's two then.

So that's the one set in the 70s, yeah. That's my favorite season. Yeah. That is a great season. Nick Offerman and Patrick Wilson. It was amazing season. That's so good. I could watch that again right now.

I might actually have to, I'm looking at this cast. I'm like, I forgot what a great season that was. It's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. So good. The show's good in general. All of it's great.

But that season in particular, just really. really sticks out. So good. Nicole has the giggles and I want to know why. Yeah, what's going on? I'm watching the chat and Talia James says, when TMS is older than a person, L.O.O.L. I mean, technically TMS was older than a person five minutes into our first episode. That's true. That's true. We don't know that person. But yeah, 2011, it's been enough time for a bunch of kids to start getting ready to drive. I thought it was 2000. No. Film Sack was 09.9. Film Sack was 09. And Lazy's Lately it was 09 and MovieLicious. We started FilmSack two months before my kid was born, so FilmSack is always the older than that person. Oh, that's cool. So that's right, because Recommendals came after Movie Licious.

Yeah. That's right. It was birthed of Movie Licious. Yeah, it was pushed from the uterus of Patrick Beja, is how I'd like to put it. Well, this movie sounds great, Brian. I have them to sign me the F-Up. I want to watch it.

One more time, it is streaming on Hulu. It's called Lake George, Shea Wegham, Carrie Coon. Make sure that's the one you watch. And the tagline is, there are no clean murders. Is the other one bad? The other Lake George thing? No, I have no idea. Let me see what its rating is.

It didn't even come up when I searched for it, but maybe I missed it. I guess actually it says 2025. It is based on true events, four years after a heist gone wrong, a released convict and a well-to-do father to be must come up with 100,000 in one night or a family member will be executed in prison. 9.2 out of 10 on 9b, but it is a foreign film, so it'll be easy to keep these separate.

It'll be easy. Yeah. If you, if these, if people are speaking in a language that you, uh, that most of you don't understand, you're watching the wrong one. Over there, it's called Lacay-Georgian. There you go. All right, Randy, we're going to throw it to you there,

buddy pal. What's your, uh, it's like a genre. I just like, I, I, I, I feel like, there's an odd couple travel genre now. Like the way there's time loop a movie is a genre now. Yeah. This is just haven't we always had it though? Like we had what midnight run?

Midnight run is probably the closest thing to Lake George just because of the trains and automobiles. I mean these are all like Yeah and you could go all the way back to like what 48 hours. I know there's even there's got to be like 60s

and 70s ones like this too. Yeah, I'm a fan of the, whatever the genre is. I like it. It's good. I mean, I mean, uh, natural porn killers is an odd couple travel. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That is a travel movie. Sure is.

Yeah, I just, I really like the thing. I like, I like that the, the odd couple has become its own thing. Like, and I realize that I'm super late to this. Like, this has been going on for 50 years, but like, I just like that you can just, you can just say, we're going to make a TV series that's the odd couple, but they're brothers. and you have two and a half men or the odd couple, but it's a gay man and a straight woman and you have well and grace, right?

It's just so many. Batman and Robin. But you're saying the odd couple road trip specifically though, right? Yeah, the odd couple travel movies. I find very, very compelling. Oh, yeah, romancing the stone, Jewel of the Nile, those two, sure. For sure. Trying to think of what the earliest one that I know of,

that I've seen is of this. Maybe, I mean, Midnight Run feels like. Midnight Run's an all-timer, man. That's such a good movie. really so good. Was it 88, 87? The in-laws is a good one, too. That's a...

It's not bad. Travel. With, uh, it was, it was, it was a weird combination, but Nisi, not Niso Delturo. Yeah. Yeah, you're thinking of, uh, they're in the car and then they have sex in the car. It's the Vegas one. Johnny Depp, you're thinking of the, um, Fear and Loading Las Vegas. Fear and Loading Las Vegas.

Yeah, that's it. Oh, no, that's not. what I'm thinking of. I think I'm thinking a movie called Chase. Oh. Yeah. I don't know.

Anyway, who cares? Speaking of travels, with my recommendation this week, let's go to your recommendal this week. Yeah, with my recommendal this week, I'm taking you far away from where we are far

to the north, all the way to the north in Canada and watched a wonderful and very heartwarming show. I think I I've watched it with Kim Johnson. Yeah, she definitely watched it as well, yeah.

That's true. This is new on Netflix. What you're about to hear is a young woman who has a child dropping that child off at her mother's house to watch her for the day. Hey, with Lanko, Mom. Mom. Hey, you said you were dropping off Bun at 10. I'm sorry. I'm early.

I just, it's just that. Hi, baby. I'm applying for a job today. A job job? Yeah, why is that weird. What was that? I have to open up the shop. Ew.

Give me that. Let's, uh, you can turn the lights on. Come on, you. Let's open this door. Why do you all of a sudden need a job anyway? I don't need a job. I want a job. Is Ting okay? Okay. I mean, I thought pilots made good money.

This isn't about Ting or money. This is about me. I want to have something of my own. Well, then learn how to sell because I'm tired of fixing your practice. That's all you're getting. Yeah. What do you call this one? What's the name?

North of North. North of North. Oh, I hate this in my list. I almost started watching this. I'm glad I didn't. Yeah. And that was Anna Lamb. going to, like I say,

drop her get off with her mother. She, at this point, the very beginning of the first episode, has never met her biological father, although she's about to. And she has, you know, she's very young.

She's about 22 and already has a seven-year-old, if that tells you something. Oh, wait, no, actually they state that she's 26. Yeah, they state that she's 26. Yeah. And this is a show. Yeah.

And, and then her, uh, her whole world unravels. She lives in a tiny town in Nunavut. It was, uh, this, this is the whole point of the show was to feature, um, Inuit actors and to feature Inuit, uh, workers. This, uh, this show takes place in an actual town in Nunavut. And, uh, all of the costumes and all of the set design are done by locals. So, Created, directed, written, all of it. It's all big group. I mean, there's a couple of actors who are fish out of water in this thing, but for the most part, yeah, all the creative. The one you'll know, the one you'll recognize is Mary Lynn Raxgub. Yeah. And Mary Lynn Raskub is the, is like she's cast to be the non-native person in the town. And of course, she's like city manager.

So it tells you something. It's, it's a comedy. It's very funny. And like I say, it's very heartwarming. This show is just, it's just nice. It's just like it goes in your list of shows like Schitt's Creek and Kim's convenience that you're going to watch to relax and take your mind off things. I agree. Quarky, quirky inhabitants of the town, you know, that fun part of it.

But they also touch on some like, I don't know, hardcore issues about Inuit life, but also, you know, there's some heavy drinking going on up there. trying to break away from that and they you know they're not afraid to do that stuff i guess in the very first episode they go seal hunting and like they they are they don't pull any punches here the the way these people live is put on display it's not you know we're we're not whitewashing how how life goes on the arctic circle yeah and uh it's it's amazing like i say it's it's dirty at times like uh there's a there's a whole segment of this show that takes place at the local dump. Like, it's just, this is a part of their lives is getting rid of stuff and

piling it up at the dump in the snow. Yeah. And it's all airplanes and snowmobiles. That's the, that's how you get around. There's no other way. Yeah, except for one guy. There's no dogs. What?

Uh, not really. No dogs. No, really. There's, there's guinea pigs. Like, you got to understand these people are living in really harsh conditions. And I don't think. I don't think that a lot of the like the normal things that you

think of like walking the dog like that they even consider. No, I'm not talking about walking the dog. I'm talking about dogs being used as a bobsled as a mode of transportation. Yeah, they don't really show it if they do. They probably do as far as I know. But it seems like it's all,

it seemed like everything was motorized snowmobiles in this thing watching the show. And trucks. Some trucks. The main character drives a big truck around. and it's kind of funny the overall show is

pretty R-rated not entirely like I don't mind my kid seeing it at 15 at all it's just it's about their lives so it's also about their sex lives and their conflicts and so on

they're pretty honest about stuff there's some swears you know normal you're normal I guess your your tv 17 level stuff it's not like it's like it's not like HBO or you got like naked people all the time or anything like that but yeah it's fair it's fair point i don't know if this is for little kids at all i'd say it's it's a little bit more it's a little bit more on that scale than say shits creek and it's not nearly as well kim's convenience is pretty clean i don't know i don't know what the good comparison is but it's a good point randy it's really not as

squarey as letter kenny no hell no oh yeah right yeah which is weirdly hard heartwarming too i don't know these canadian productions canadian actors i guess she's from uh where is she from annalam is from somewhere she's from none of it she is originally right but she ends up she's lived most of her life somewhere in canada well that's in canada too though right i don't know my i don't know my geography up there but i think that isn't that town in canada none of it is a is a territory yes okay in canada all right and that's where all these folks live but anyway it's very very good and it's an interesting combination of like tradition and modern life

and then harsh conditions that to them just seem normal and then half the cast were in season four of True Detective so if you if you liked those actors you're going to see them all again with the exception of the main

First Nations character in True Detective the rest of like everyone you meet was in that series in smaller roles yeah including Anna Lam she was in there as well all right well there you have it go get it now north

north of north and you'll find that on Netflix correct yes hallelujah maybe maybe we'll get some more series very nice Nicole what did you bring before I tell you what I brought I'm going to clarify what I was thinking the movie was called The Chase with Charlie Sheen

and Christy Swanson and he takes her as a hostage. Yeah, you've got half of the red hot chili peppers in that thing too. Yeah. You get the flea half or the ketis half, which half you get? Flea and ketis. Oh, both of them. Okay. And then the other movie that I was thinking about the Benicio del Toro was called Excess Baggage with Alicia Silverstone. another

Alycia I think it's just Alyssa Alicia Alicia I don't care anymore Hey you know we love these alternate names We don't mind

We don't ever We don't ever want you to stop by the way Yeah I love them It's not a complaint This is an endorsement Both these movies stuck in my head Because they're not good movies But they have taken up

A little brain space of of my brain, especially that excess baggage one. That is a terrible move. It is. It is a terrible. I think there's a case for the chase,

but there's no case for the excesses. There's a case for the chase. I like that. The case is a fun movie. I mean, there's a moment where they actually trying to get it on while they're running from the cops. But.

Right. But he kidnaps her. Yeah. Well, he does inadvertently, though, right? Doesn't he, um, he uses a. candy bar not a gun i don't even know but still she is taken against her will yeah but see is what do they call

that comedy i mean there is a there's a name for that though what is that not nightingale said no no no no like uh oh oh oh the syndrome um yeah stockholm stockholm syndrome that's no no is this no it no is the where you start to feel for your captors yeah you feel for your captors yeah you be that woman that woman that got kidnapped she ended up robbing the bank that's it that's stockholm syndrome right there is that what it's called yep i thought it was named after her i i think it was it was named after the stockholm her name was alicia stockholm she's great she's been around for a while kicking ass making movies alicia stockholm uh all right well it's so sorry you so those are her two movies now you got something real to tell us about right a real thing so uh i didn't take yours because

you already took it um but i'm i'm excited to talk about what you were going to talk about in your segment so i decided to recommend a movie that's coming out on netflix on may first it's an old movie my best friend from college introduced it to me and it is so stupid funny i I love it so much. I'm actually looking really forward to it coming out on May 1st. It's raunchy. It's silly. It's just you can play the play.

If you can play the whole clip because the whole clip is great. Well, it's like four minutes. So probably not the whole clip. Is it four minutes? Sorry, three minutes, two hours, two hours, two minutes, 58 seconds. It's still a little long, but I'll do a chunk of it. We'll see how long we get here. Here we go.

I'll play it. Strutting around big lots like it's Bloomingdale's and her bullshit shoes. Real estate, bitch, acting like Sue's Orman. You know what she has? Crabbs in her eyebrows. Tumbleweeds rolling across her beave. I am done. Wasting words on that hoe.

I'm sorry, Vicki. So I want to apologize for me? Is Vicki your real name? What's your Korean name? Hey Juan. Hey, Juan, what a beautiful name. What does that mean? Hey one mean head.

Oh. Hey one. Am I saying it correctly? Hey one. Oh, hey one. No. He one. Hey one.

Not hey one. Hey one. Hey one. No. He one. Hey one. Hey one. Hey one.

I feel like I'm saying it right. Okay. It's probably good enough. I can't get over. how much Tina Faye sounds like Julia Louis Dreyfus when you're not seeing either of them. Oh, weird. Yeah, I can hear that.

My wife loves this movie. This is John Cena's in this or something, right? Am I remembering that right? I think you're, yes, he's yes, he comes in at the end. Yeah. Sisters. So, uh, it's called sisters. Yeah, it's called sisters.

You heard the first part of it was Tina Faye. She is the, more raunchy of the two sisters and her other sister is um oh i'm blanking her name oh i want to hear you say it amy polar oh damn it i wanted to hear i wanted to hear her pronounce it randy they're they're i know how to pronounce amy polar it's just my memory is not so no it's all good i was just hoping for some but it's all good we can't get them every time it's fine um but so what you heard was they were in a nail salon and tina face characters actually a nail technician.

They're back of their home where they grew up and they were known as the party sisters and they always had the best parties. And Tina Faye was actually complaining about Meyer Rudolph's character who stayed in the town and, you know, she became a real estate agent, blah, blah, blah. It's all small town stupid stuff. But what's happening is their parents are selling the house. And so they came back because their parents are. Diane Weist and James Brolin, dude.

I love them. And this, I think, is the predecessor to life and pieces. Oh, yeah. They are husband and wife in that sitcom life. Life in Pieces, which is the best sitcom, and I'm so good. And they're just, Jays Burlin and Diane Weist are just

wonderful. And they're wonderful in this, and they have the same kind of relationship in this movie that they do in Life and Pieces. So, so it becomes about one last big party.

And they're all in their, you know, 40s. So, it's just funny and so hey one and because she goes finally she goes it's like hey one i love i love that this is the movie that found greta lee because she is so freaking funny even when she's not trying to like the morning show she's not trying to be funny but she there's something about her that's so funny oh yeah now i know who you're talking about yes oh i love her she's really, really good. I love her she's

I love her credit for this because I don't actually know where it happens, but in Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse, she has a voice acting role called the interesting person number two. I just think that's great. But the cast in this in general, look at this. She's one of the first voices you hear over and over and over

again in Russian doll every time Natasha Leon's day restarts. Oh, that's her? Hey, girlfriend! Oh, that's right! I didn't know that. I love her. Happy birthday girl. or whatever she says at the very beginning of every day. So this thing's got John Leguizamo. It's got John Sina.

It's got a bunch of S&L people, Rachel Drash. Yeah, a bunch of SNL people. Yeah. So have you, have you seen, have any of you seen this movie? I have, yeah. I think I have. Yeah. Twice.

Okay, you know what John Sina, John Sina's role is. His character is called Pizzou, and that's all you need to know. It may actually be the first time I saw him do anything in a film film. I think it might have been the first I'd seen. Might be, yeah. For me, anyway, I'm sure. I like, oh, and you know how I said there wasn't going to be a second season of Peacemaker? Yeah.

I was quickly corrected. And there's a second season coming out, and I am so excited. I thought we knew that, right? Yeah, I didn't know that. Oh, okay. Oh, well, hey, hey, Nicole, guess what? There's a new season coming, a peacemaker. We could have saved you a lot of sadness.

of thinking that there wasn't. Sorry, we weren't there for you. I said it the last time I was hearing you didn't correct me. Didn't me? Oh. Somebody on Twitter.

I don't do Twitter. Sorry. I remember you mentioned it last time about it. Okay. Yeah. Either way. Yeah. We're all just glad it's coming.

That's all I know. I love that. Yeah. I'm just super, super excited. But yeah, Sisters is coming to Netflix on May 1st. Um,

add it to your little, they have like some cool stuff where you can just like, remind me or add it, you know, like, They let you know. I think that's kind of neat. But they give you a heads up.

But I'm going to pass the torch to Scott because what I actually watched was what he watched. So I'm curious. I didn't watch all of it. I'm weird about this show. I'm very weird. I get it. There's things. There are ones, man, like always, the shows, it's like this.

I'll just get straight to it. So speaking of shows like ours, TMS has been around since 20, So has the show we're going to talk about. This is in its seventh season. And I watched the entire thing and really liked it. Here's our clip. You won't ever know how hard I felt for that girl, like beyond everything. And she said, she always said she felt the same.

And I believed she felt the same. And then she drops me into a pit, just cold, bang, just see ya. Not a word just walks away. She went on with her life while mine just stopped, so that was me, lost. No hope? Nothing. So then came the drinking, all that shit, the desperation of it. Me and Carol were together three years. It took me 15 to climb out of the hole she put me in.

So, yes, I was upset. And you never stayed in touch? Uh, no. That right there is Paul Giamatti, as you may have, uh, surmised, uh, in the episode, uh, episode five of the season, season seven, episode five of black mirror called eulogy. Uh, that started with that one, by the way. That was the one that got me back into black mirror. Oh, weird. Okay.

I, I, they, they played me that clip. Yeah. And I was like, ooh, this is interesting. Well, I kind of want to see this. It's even more than that. That episode is Oscar-worthy content. I know this is a television show, so it's never going to be up for Oscars.

But this is Gi-A-Madi doing as good at work as he ever does. He's always good, but, man, he's good in this episode. That episode got into my soul for a whole day after I saw it, and I absolutely loved it. That being said, it is, I think, the strongest of the new season, but there is a ton of good stuff here. And as usual, they're asking hard questions. They're mixing it with hard questions around.

technology. Some of it matches up with our current day, you know, AI fears, but also a lot of other stuff. A lot of people you reckon. The throngs. Did you watch the throngs? I loved that one. Absolutely loved it. It was called Plaything. Episode seven or episode four. That was, the description of it is in a near future London. An eccentric murder suspect is linked to an unusual video game from the 90s, a game populated by cute evolving artificial life forms. That thing is so good. and Peter Capaldi is amazing in it. He's so good in it. If you'd like Doctor Who at all

or liked the Capaldi years in general, I think you'd really like it. Tiny little roll but Will Poulter's in there. Kind of a critical moment for him. That is a rad story that went places I did not see coming. Extremely well made. I just want to offer,

if you haven't watched season seven yet, many people that I talk to about this kind of thing because this is like a really big deal at where I work. Like a new season of Black Mirror, everybody's watching it, everybody's talking about it. They're all saying,

you should watch two, three, four, five, six, and then save the first episode for last. Oh, really?

And I think I, I can agree with it. I don't know. It has, it has like the, there's something about, like, when the best episode

of a Black Mirror season starts the season. Yeah. Well, see, I would disagree that it's the best. Jonah's awful. was the best one of last season. Yeah, but I would disagree

that Common People, Episode 1 of 7 is the best of the batch. I wouldn't even say it's close. I think Eulogy beats it by a mile. Common people's good, and it's got people I like in it. Chris O'Dowd, Rashida Jones. It's very good, and it mixes humor a little bit like the one you're talking about last season. It mixes humor and

horrifying ideas. And it ends in such a sad, freaking way that there's no way I would watch this last. F that. Whoever I told you that is giving you bad advice. I stopped watching this one. Yeah. This is actually, so when I get through a, when I get into a black mirror episode that I think is going to go into a very torturistic place, I just stop.

Which is more, most of them. A lot of them. I mean, yeah, a lot of them. In a way that feels a little too real. So like, for instance, the USS, is it calibration? Calester. Yes, S-Calster. Okay, so part two of that.

I did not see the first one. I watched it backwards. Oh, you never saw that original one. Okay. I didn't see the original one. So I watched the second one. I'm like, oh, my God, this is amazing. Mark would love this.

And then I go, oh, my God, there's a part one. Yeah. Yeah, it's the one. So the Jesse Plymonds part one, one is a lot of people think is one of the high points of the series. I think it's very good. This season has a sequel in it. It's the final episode. of this season that is called USS Callister Into Infinity, and it's very, very good.

The big, the big, uh, trippy thing there, I know he's a good actor, because I've seen him in Westworld and a million other things, but Jimmy Simpson under-effing rated. Oh my gosh, yes. Holy crap. Mr. Robot, House of Cards. He's so good. I mean, that guy is so freaking good.

He's also ripped right now. I don't know what's going on in his gym life. Is he really? Geez, Louises. As time goes by, yeah, go ahead. Oh,

go ahead. As time goes by, people seem to want less and less of the bleakness of this series. Yeah. And so,

like, this season has three different, not as bleak episodes, right? Eulogy isn't that bleak. Calistert Part 2 isn't that bleak.

Bet Noir isn't that bleak. Yeah. Which one isn't? Bet noir. I love that one. Oh. The second one. Okay.

Okay. I haven't, I was trying to, to figure out because I literally just stopped with common people like I couldn't I was like nope we're not doing episode two I'm not watching somebody drink their pee no thank you hey spoilers spoilers but episode two is kind of hardcore in the early goings but later when it starts to unfold as to what it actually is about because it's not obvious right away that one goes places man like some people don't like the way it ended I thought it was really good if

there's a weak one here I don't know I hate ranking these because they're all I think they're all worthy of seeing right yeah especially when you have Rashida Jones and Chris O'Dowd like yeah how can you how can you write that uh two of them is it can you watch the whole series like is it about two to half three hours of content oh this is five plus hours yeah some of them are longer like that Callister thing I think is like an hour and a half alone so wow okay it's almost a movie link so there's a lot of content here Hotel Reverie, I thought, was beautiful and interesting and different. And it also had some actors I love in this thing.

So Emma Corrin, it's not a household name yet, but I think she's going to be. You know her from Deadpool and Wolverine. She was bald, crazy sister to Professor X. Oh, oh, Cassandra Nova. Yeah. She's very good in this. England's and Hathaway. Kind of, yeah.

She's great. And she's so young. she's got such a big career ahead of her. Aquafina is in it in a role that didn't drive me nuts. Most of the time she drives me nuts. She did not drive me nuts here. I liked her in it quite a bit. And Harriet Walter,

you're going, who's that? She's a British actress that you know most recently from Silo, who she doesn't play British in Silo, but she's the older lady who's always fixing stuff. She's always doing like the, she got that little office space that's like her little shop or whatever. I forgot her name in the show.

Anyway, she's great. They're all great. That's a great episode. I love it. A friend of mine said, Hotel Reverie is a reminder that Charlie Booker really like sexy lesbians. And I'm like, who doesn't?

Yeah. A lot of people like him, turns out. But I would wholeheartedly recommend this one. It is interesting that there's some commonality with some of these. This little fiddly bit they put on the side of their head for the Callister thing to put them in the game. That thing shows up in multiple stories as a through line. I like that when they have some sort of connection. There it is right there. They have a little happy face deal.

Yeah. Max Trobot, you're right. The lady looks like Ria Perlman. Sorry, go ahead, Nicole. I like a biocas. Producers, let's make a dark tech series fans. We like the fun ones. It's really true. Like, if you just talk to people about Black Mirror and say, like, what's your favorite episode? They're always going to say something like, hang the DJ or San Junipero for whatever reason. Oh, my God. San Juan Jeparo is so good. I'm just, I'm of the opinion that it's all good. And I like the dark as as the light and keep making these they remind me of love death and robots it's that anthology style let's make you think about shit twilight zone but in a modern way i'm i'm so for this i want more of this i love it i love it love it it's why i keep coming back to it but i i get very

cautious like i almost i probably what i really should do is just read about them in wikipedia and then decide if i want to watch it this is also by the way so the first callister thing was Jesse Plymonds at his plumpest, we'll say that. Right, yeah. And his most evil. Yeah, this is him now at his, at his thinnest. He's lost a ton of weight in real life. And you can tell by just looking at him.

He's in great shape right now. And this is such a great way of explaining it without telling us. Yeah, yeah. Because, and I don't want to spoil it. But when you watch you, it'll be like, how are they going to handle that? Because he's, you know, it looks a lot different now. They do it in a way where you're just like, oh, well, of course. This is how the two would, I don't want to, I don't want to say what I, I don't want to give it away, but you got to see it. It's very good. Anyway, I loved it. Check it out. Black Mirror, season seven, all seasons up on Netflix. If you haven't watched it before. He should be in an advertisement for Ozmpic or whatever he took, yeah, because he, with his wife. He and his wife could be in an ad.

Yeah, John Goodman, too, get him in there. Yeah. What makes me sad about Black Mirror is that each one. of the, not each, but most of these stories, if we're standalone, they probably would be found more. I almost feel like, I think a lot of, I think a lot of people avoid black mirror because of, uh, the potential scariness of it. Maybe they're massive, they're massively popular. So I don't think they're having any trouble getting eyeballs. Like it's been number one since it's dropped. So I think they're okay. Like I say, my, my coworkers seem to, only like the darkest, bleakest episodes. Like that that's the point.

Like you watch the very first episode of the very first series to find out whether or not you're into this. Yeah. Yeah. That one, the way that one ends, man. Gosh, dang it.

I hate to watch these. Yeah. Which one is that one? The one you get. There's a little bestiality. The one you, oh, yeah, the one with the pigs.

Yeah. Oh, God, I hate that one. I hate that one so much. It's the OJ. It's like the first season? Yeah, season one episode one. You were talking about episode one of season seven. No, no, no.

You're talking way back when it wasn't even on Netflix. Yeah, it's like a test for a new viewer. It's like, are you going to be able to watch any of this? Yeah. I liked. I liked it. Old Nicole, fine. New Nicole, not fine.

I don't have, I don't have new Scott yet, so I still like that episode. I like that you just described old Nicole on your birthday. I agree. Hey, real quick, actress and the ones with the bunch of McCollets. Yeah, Krista Malati. She is awesome, and we already knew this, right? But I always forget that she also had a very important rad awesome role. First time I've ever saw her in season two of Fargo.

She was really good in there. Oh, yeah. She was also the mother in how I met your mother. Oh, that's right. I always forget that. She's also in a show called Made for Her World. Love with one of her co-stars on the ship. What?

Yeah. Yeah, that's true. How? So May for Love is on Hulu and it's the guys that get shot in the stomach. Oh, that kid. That dude. Yeah, no spoilers. It's on Max, I think. Is it? I think it's on Max. Well, she's in Penguin, too.

I'm pretty sure I watched it on Hulu. She's in Penguin. great in penguin. She's great in penguin. Yeah. And she's in mythic quest. Yeah. She's all over the damn place.

But so's Ray Romano's in Made for Love too as well. All right. So Ray Romano, please. All right. Hi. Hi. Hey, guys. All right.

Well, all of these, here's the good news about everything we've talked about. If you forgot them at all, you're like, I don't remember any of these names. Go to quicktm.S. Dot, L.I. They'll all be there for your perusal and for your access. They've been there for half an hour now. Yeah, they've been there all day. They've been there for the last hour of half.

Since we started the segment two hours ago. Exactly. I'm so excited to see you both in Las Vegas. Nicole, have a safe and happy trip because we're excited to see you. I will. Are you excited? Are you ready? Are you ready to roll?

I'm very nervous, but I know it'll be good and I already have a ride. Oh, good. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I'm going to meet up with Wendy. Well, we have your, we have, don't, when you get there, even if you're nervous, don't worry, we all are nervous and everyone has each other's back. So we're all good. Oh, I know. You have 100 members of your support system. I'm with you at all time.

Yep. Yep. That doesn't help. No, it doesn't. Okay. For people with people with real anxiety issues, I can speak to this. It doesn't help. But we still, we still say it to help to try to help. And even if it doesn't help, it will help. When you're there, it will help. That's what we know. my meds my meds help yeah meds help drugs help drugs are good take drugs bye i'm i'm not nervous no you're you're not nervous at all in fact if anything you're overconfident about this right yeah i don't the last time the last time i was nervous the last like i remember the last time i was genuinely nervous i went to uh i went to attended a doctor's visit with samantha jane like six or seven years ago and she was getting this really deep injection into her shoulder and when when you know I'm sitting next to her holding her hand and when I looked over and I saw the doctor coming with this deep needle that's I felt nervous

and I was like oh this is nervousness yeah yeah you're lucky you don't have to deal with that very much although how I mean how geez how long a needle that sounds terrible I don't want to know more about that never mind I'm sorry I asked that sounds awful sorry I brought it up have a great day I know all right we did it Brian yes we somehow we somehow did it before the clock ticked over to April 24th. We somehow pulled it off. Barely, though. Barely. Thank you. I have to leave for the airport half an hour. So, yeah, everyone's very busy.

Anyway, hey, one more quick note from Tommy. Tommy wrote into the show. And I want to give Tommy his due here. If I can find my tab and I click it wrong. All right, there we go. He says this, hey, skeet and boob. Jeez. Sure. Long time TMS listener here, but I have a problem with the podcast. I just can't see you guys live. The faces don't match up with the voices. He doesn't mean synced by the way. He means our faces do not match what he visualized. Yeah. What he imagined us

looking like. He says, I hope you guys know what I mean when you listen to a voice, your brain creates a picture with it. It gets ruined when I see the actual faces, but keep up the good work, love Tommy. Okay, I mean, I can understand it's not matching up, but it's getting ruined. Oh, dude, I'm sorry. Yeah. Tommy, I don't realize this was that bad. Yeah, is it

That bad? Look, Tommy, send us a photo of you, and maybe we'll see how we can handle it. Maybe I have something very specific in my mind of what Tommy looks like. I wish, maybe there is something like an online, I guess chat beat, chat GPT, or even Mid Journey. Mid Journey might be the best use of this. Describe to Mid Journey what you thought we looked like and then send us those images because I would love to see what we look like, what you imagined us looking like this on our voice. Yeah, what do you think? but do a description of what you think you see. And I think you can even, like in GPT's case,

you can upload a little audio and it will analyze the voices, I think. Anyway, but yeah, maybe the AI will get us all wrong. Maybe it'll get us exactly right. I don't know. Maybe it'll make me bald. Maybe Brian will have these glasses on. Like a full head of hair, Mohawk or an afro or something. I don't know.

Big flowy-looking Elvis job. That's awesome. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, you guys have the job to do. you go do it. If you want to be like Tommy and everybody at the top of the show that wrote in, you can also leave voicemails there. Go to voicecast.com app slash

TMS. That will do it for today. Brian, let's get out with a song. What do you got? Let's do exactly that. Grew, A.K.A. Steve Rikieberg wrote in and said, you tell me if this is TMS material or not, but I've been meaning to send this in for literally years, but Squirrel. As a modern metal fan, I love this cover from Brian Head Welch of Korn's other project. love and death's debut. No special occasion. My birthday was in March. Oops. Just a cover that's always stuck with me for such a transformation from about as opposite of metal and weird new wave synth pop to something that I just can't help but head bang to. And I'm curious what you think

and if you'll play it. The answer is I liked it and I'm playing it right now. Oh man. I love when a deal of a thing like that comes together. That's fantastic. Great. This is a great, I had no idea until I read this that it was connected to Korn, Brian Welch. But it's great. This is a cover of Devo's Whippet, yes Devo's Whippet from the album Between Here and Lost from 2013. It is
