Ah! The morning stream. Fuck off, Hairball. Well, well, well, what do we have here? It's time for the morning stream. It is TMS for Tuesday, May 20th, 2025. Oh, man, we got 5.20, 20, 25. That's pretty good.

That's pretty good. It's a math problem today. Yeah, I like it. that one that's pretty good yeah we're always looking for these and today we got one uh we're also looking for us i'm scott and that's brian hi brian welcome back well thank you it's good to be back and uh big thanks to uh monica and bobby who both did stellar jobs uh hosting in my place yeah they did great hosting in my place yeah they were awesome it's always they're always reliable folk but it is always good to get the uh the team back together i mean you were in

kansas which you know i don't know a lot about kansas but i know this yeah A lot of flatness, a lot of flat, you know. You and I are used to the mountains. They're always looming over us all the time. It's beautiful where we live. Well, then you go there and a slight digestment to that. I was in Missouri. Oh, that's right.

Kansas City straddles the border and only about a quarter, like the downtown area of Kansas City and most of the suburbs are in Missouri. But there are some parts in Kansas, and we did spend, you know, many hours driving across Kansas. And one of my favorite things that we did on this trip was in Kansas. But I'll talk about that in a second. Does it involve barbecue at all? That doesn't, but that was another favorite thing. Holy cow, some barbecue, man. All right.

So let me first talk about the whole reason we went there. And I've got it, you know, this has to be the first thing I talked about because it was the reason we went, which was seeing my nephew graduate high school. Congratulations. McCoy, who, uh, uh, graduated with like three scholarships. He might be going to Northwestern. He might be going to KU. We're trying to talk to him into taking a look at, um, at, uh, the school of minds here in Colorado. But the kid is a brilliant, um, brilliant students, the straight A's, uh, no, I think almost straight A's during his entire high school career, except for one B, which really bummed him out.

Oh, I bet it'd be for bumped. Yeah. What was the, what was the class, do you know? Oh, I didn't ask him what the class was the where you got to be, but, uh... Damn, straight A is about one B. I, you know what? I would have been, my parents would have been thrilled with B's. Are you kidding?

Yeah, my parents might have stopped drinking if I would have had those kind of grades. Damn. But, you know, it was one of these graduation ceremonies. they had so they had the valedictorian speech they had the class president speech they had another student

oh a pair of exchange students one from Italy and one from Tunisia speak oh wow and then they did something I never seen before where other graduating seniors could submit their speech and a video recording of them

delivering it and they would pick two of them actually do speeches at the at the ceremony. So a total of what was that like six, seven speeches, seven student speeches? Yeah, it's a lot. It is a lot. And if you're a parent of a student who will be

graduating anytime soon and they maybe they're going to be valedictory, maybe they're going to be class president or maybe they're going to somehow deliver a speech at this thing, can we eliminate some phrases or some tropes like, you know, talk them out of things like hard to believe. It was just

four years ago we were walking into this school and trying to figure out how to open our lockers. Oh, man. Or, you know, we're saying goodbye to this chapter in our lives and turning the page to a brand new chapter in our lives.

I hate all these. They're awful. I want to thank Mrs. Abernathy because she was always there for me to talk to me, you know, talk to me and be a shoulder to cry on or help me get through the last four years. years like oh no just come up with something new please that's no one has new material in these

speeches they just don't have it yeah Bruce Valanche isn't doing anything higher Bruce Valanche to to write your valedictorian speech he's still alive he'd be thrilled to do a little work right now wouldn't he still around yeah oh he'd love that yeah one of the one of the exchange students uh said um uh it was hard to believe that that is the italian and do my best my best my best my best Oliver, Olivia Garden is what her name was. Olivia Garden. I'm sorry. Olivia, not really, right?

Okay. Oh, shit, I was about to lose my lunch, dude. That is funny. Sorry, go ahead. It's what you're here, your family. So, she's like, it's hard to believe that when we got off at the plane a year ago, we had a suitcase full of our hopes and dreams. And I whispered a Tina and clothes and the phone charger and the hair dryer.

Yeah, because you're, not you're not immigrants you know so you didn't wash up on shore as the as the filthy refuse exactly coming to the new land no i mean you know you're staged so that's funny that makes me laugh so anyway but uh the ceremony was great we um went from the ceremony to this german place downtown um oh what was the name of it camera it was like things ended at nine o'clock nine 30 and we needed to find a place that was open that was easy for 10 of us to get to the whole family to get to.

Sure. And first it was going to be this barbecue place and that didn't work out because they were closing in an hour and then we found another place and turned out to be this German place and freaking, oh my God, what was the beef?

It was a beef marinated in like a red line reduction with the red, my favorite thing, the pickled red cabbage. I got to make my own pickled red cabbage. This stuff is just the best. My grandmother used to make it all the time. There was always a jar of it in the fridge

and so we'd have it. Probably just doing the salt pickling, right? Like the easier, faster pickling. That stuff's amazing. Yeah. Big fan. Spetzel. That's the little noodley things, right? The little... Yeah. And you can put either, those two things, you can put on virtually anything. Anything.

I mean, yeah, it was so steak, whatever, man. Chicken, just put it on there. That's great. Oh, so good. And so, uh, did that on Saturday and then Sunday, we took the advice of one Mr. Steven Schlecker. Oh, who I forgot to mention, we saw. We, um, on the drive, uh, we stopped in Hayes, Kansas.

But we knew that it was going to be like, no, we just want to get through. We want to stop in Hayes. It's about the halfway point. Sauerbrotten. That was at Domo Sauerbrotten. Oh my God. So good. Um, so we knew that Hayes was going to be our, our halfway point.

We're going to stop there, get some food, get some gas. It takes, uh, my mother-in-law a lot of time to do things. because she's not as mobile. She needs a walker. We need to, you know, getting her in and out of the bathroom is a, you know, a lot of time that we have to kind of plan for and stuff like that. Yeah. I told her, I said, you're taking your food into the bathroom. You're going to eat while you go to the bathroom.

We got to save time. We got to conserve. She fortunately realized I was joking. I hope so. So we get to Hayes, Kansas, and there's the Freddy's there. And I'm like, how's Freddy? Sound good? Sound good to everybody?

Hell yeah. And so I take a little selfie with it. I send it to Scott. And then I also send it to Stephen and say, hey, I know you're probably in the middle of doing finals and stuff right now and grading and all that stuff. We're getting ready for graduations. But I just want to say, we're in your town. Howdy.

And he replied back instantly and said, have you gotten your food yet? And I'm like, oh, no, we're just about to eat. It says, all right, it'll be right there. Oh, I figured you guys arranged this. I had no idea. It was like a last second thing like this. This is great. Within three minutes, he was there at our Freddy's.

He apparently lives just a few blocks away. I mean, not that Hayes is a huge place, but, but, uh, it raises like a three by three mile, uh, town. But he was at our Freddy's in three minutes and he sat there and chatted with us while we were, um, uh, while we were eating and, and, uh, letting me know what's going on. He does, he's got, uh, a son graduating. And then he's got. Another one graduating from middle school, I believe.

I think so, yeah. Rating and finals and stuff like that. But he was nice enough to take some time out to come say hi. But one of the things that he had talked about months ago and said, oh, man, if you ever come to Kansas City, you need to go to a place called breakthrough. BRK through, T-H-R-U-G-H. By the way, that's the photo that Brian said me up. I showed it yesterday, but there it is again.

this is a Stephen I have a question just brief yeah yeah last time I saw Stephen he shaved his head completely he shaved his head I know look at that

look at that head of hair on my gosh yeah did he get to go to turkey get him transplants or something it's beautiful geez yeah he's got a good head of hair and it's it's impressive you know it's uh it looks good on him too

so so anyway he told us about this place in Overland Park called Breakthrough And I'll send you a link to the place in our little Chatsky. All right. So imagine you take one part. What's that? I said dragons, but I'm just being an ass.

Imagine dragons. Yeah. I couldn't help it. Imagine you've got a place that is a combination of an escape room. actually 35 or 36 escape rooms Oh my Lord Meeting Warioware

This thing reminded me totally of Warioware This is this is All right so you see them go into these rooms So each of these are a different room With the different thing you have to complete in that room Like Oh that's good, let's see So these are like mini games

They're like mini games Okay Yeah So in that one that's in the center with those little wooden lily pad looking things. That's a swamp one, yeah, where those light up and you have to get from one side of the room

to the other only stepping on the green ones and they turn, you hit a button on the wall and some of them turn green long enough for you to get to them, but if you're not quick, they turn blue and you have to start over. So you I'll back up a little bit. So each of these rooms has a little entry code on the outside

and you get a wristband that you tap onto that, that entry code, and it opens the door. So it is just you and your team doing that room. Like nobody, they're not putting you with any other groups or anything like that. If you, like I did, it was me and Tina, then that's your team for the whole day, for the whole two hours or however long you're there. Okay. And you go in the room, your first thing is figure out what the challenge. is there's a screen on the wall in each one that kind of gives you a little bit of a hint as to what you're doing but you do have to figure things out like it's you know it's sometimes it's not

obvious sometimes it's super obvious like oh this is like a giant game of of mastermind or this is we're crawling along trying to avoid light beams you know in trying to steal some art or something like that um you you figure that out and then you complete it hit the button at the end and you get a score of zero to a hundred you can keep doing it as many times as you want but you uh once it'll always keep your highest score so if you do a thousand a hundred points then you don't need to ever do that one again if you don't want to that's wild look at these guys oh geez that right there that's one where you have to you know the ending of american ninja warrior you kind of like run up that big ramp so a different button would light up on that ramp and you'd have to run up oh and smack the right right right button neither tina or i brought the right kind of shoes to do that well so like we could get the lower buttons like that guy in the red just hit a lower button yeah yeah there's a button right up there at the top of the wall and that is a steep Steep ramp.

Yeah, who'd know you'd need some good, like, grippy running shoes when you go in there, you know? Yeah, yeah. So this is, yeah, way better than Play Playground. Those of you who did TMS Vegas last year, remember Play Playground. This right here would be the freaking perfect Tadpool get-together kind of thing. Oh, yeah. Seems awesome. Oh, my gosh.

It looks at three or four. I think three or four might be the perfect number for these rooms. There's one where you're doing basketball. ball shots and you've got to get the basketballs in the hoops that are lit but keep them out of the ones that are lit red. The mountain climbing stuff again, we brought the wrong shoes

plus I'm too fat. So like we got into the mountain climbing room. We started on it and Tila are both like, no. There were a couple like that where it was a floor's lava kind of challenge where you have

lava and you've got to use different methods to do it. A lot of them were, like, bigger mountain climber kind of grippy things. We could do better, better than that, better than those little tiny ones. But some of them are like, if you watch Survivor, sometimes they have to put their feet on platforms that are half an inch wide against a wall. And choose that we were wearing that was just kind of searing right into the pads of our feet. It just was not working.

I imagine. But these are the little hand-resty things. things you'd have to wear here in his little uh yeah that's what you wear and you just tap uh the the captain taps it right on to that little little hexagon that you go in oh and you can and you you mentioned this briefly but this is kind of like you get to choose your choose the each room has one of those things and it tells you where this challenge lands on that scale so this one is telling you that it's it's big a lot of skill and also some physical but don't you know not super mental. You don't have to, you don't have to do math or things like that. There was one that

Tina did was all mental where we had two UK phone booths on either ends of a room. She had a keypad with numbers on it and I had a screen that was flashing math problems, division and multiplication and, you know, addition subtraction. And I had to, um, I had to do number, like I had to yell the numbers over to her so she could punch him in. We had to get as many. as we could in the time. I mean, the food looks like your average kind of carb-y business. Probably pretty good.

Dave and Busters, Jillian's kind of food. There's nothing wrong with that. I like that. Yeah. Yeah, nothing wrong with that at all. Tina's mom came with us. We didn't get her,

you know, she didn't want, she couldn't do any of the physical stuff. So she said, no, I'm just going to hang out. And they've got a bunch of TV screens. They've got food.

I'll hang out while you guys go do your thing. And just, you know, we just popped out every once in a while and checked on or made sure she was, doing all right she was just fine so that's great that place looks rad i would go there that seems cool yeah it's uh is it large like a huge place it's huge it's a huge space yeah because 40 rooms in my head i'm thinking that's you know i assume they're decent size rooms you can fit four of you

in there yeah they're like um you know some of them are god we did one where you had you came into a jail cell that had graffiti all over the walls of all the prisoners that had been there some wrote a number. Some of them did hash marks. And then you move the sink and there's a tunnel and you go through the tunnel over some pipes, Andy Dufrain style, into this other room where it asks you, did Otto and Michael's time in prison last longer than Michelle and Steve's time in prison? Like you had to... Oh, interesting. So Claire asked earlier if I cheated. That was the one where I cheated where I put out my phone and I wrote down all the times. That was after the fourth time going through and we just could not memorize all the things. I'm not going to call that cheating.

I'm going to call that. That's you. It's a survival. It's what you do. You are in a thing. You have the tool to do it. You do the tool. You're good.

I don't think that's cheating. Exactly. Exactly. Plus what are they in it? And they basically, oh, really, Claire says, oh, my God, the same exact here, sing, well, yeah, Claire is saying that they've got a similar thing in Ireland. Is it in Belfast? Is it, is it in your town?

Yeah, it's so cool. This thing, I guess they have one in Houston as well. But if you've got one near you, if you live close enough to go to Kansas City or you're going to Kansas City or you're going to Houston, this is not just a, oh, yeah, you should check this out. It is a, you need to check this out. This thing is a blast. And it's the only location?

They don't do these anywhere else, as far as you know. Houston and Kansas City, I think. I mean, I know Kansas City, obviously, for sure. All right. I thought you meant if you were going to Houston, stop there. So that's cool, though. There's two of them at least. I think they're putting one in, I think they've got one in Houston,

because when I was searching for it, yeah, Shenandoah in Houston and Overland Park in Kansas City. It would be perfect here. I wish they'd do them here. It would be perfect. Like, this would be a thing for Nurtacular that would be the big highlight of the trip. Yeah, that'd be amazing. All right. Well, there you go.

Stephen didn't steer you wrong, sounds like. He did not. No, a total blast. Anything else on the trip? Listen to a couple podcasts. Listen to the Julie Louise Riface Wiser Than Me podcast, which I think Wendy had recommended. Yeah, she likes it a lot. I haven't heard it yet.

is it what did you think you liked it yes it's really really good we listened to her interview with jane fonda and her interview with um oh my god uh george costanza episodes no it's it's all women who are older and wiser um uh it was it's i think her finale her season three finale episode and it is in fond of one second so that's why i'm like is it all fairly political or is it kind of no no very very uh carol brunette oh that would oh i got to check that i love carol brunette great oh my god because like these two titans of of uh comedy talking to each other and uh man great great advice yeah very not very much not safe for work like hearing julia leidreifus swear is a just such a weird thing She's a cuss bomb.

She is a cuss bomb. Her comedians and cars getting coffee thing with Jerry. Oh, yeah. They were bleeping her out every other word. They were. Yeah, she does not, she's not sanitize her language. You know, I got to say on that note, Scott, listening to, because we told Connie that we were going to listen to the shows live, the Friday TMS and the Monday TMS as we drove. and I could not get the volume down

fast enough on the mashup the TMS mashup Scott yells Mark Knoppler's penis Even though I didn't even think about it I didn't even think about the fact Like when we got to that part of the show Yeah escape me entirely that your mom is listening in the car

Entirely Yeah yeah oh my gosh It's funny so she laughed at the rest of the show She got strangely silent after that that part i can't imagine why you know it's just what a what a what a weird thing to hear that somebody of a different generation did not appreciate my screaming and yelling and swearing that's fantastic so funny anyway there we go there you go good time glad to be back and uh it was a great time yeah well there you go kansas was better or kansas city was better for having you in it yeah

oh and i did mention the barbecue we went to jack stack barbecue we have a listener named luke who came to TMS Vegas 2024, and he's a souschef for Jack Stack. They have multiple locations in Kansas City. We apparently did not go to his because I asked if Luke was the souship there. I don't know his last name. I don't know his screen name. I don't know. Don't know how to find him to thank him, but he gave us a gift card,

and we used on this trip for $25 and had some of the best Barbie. I've ever had in my life. I sent you that photo, or I put it in our film sack chat. Yeah. That stuff was absolutely amazing. People in Kansas City, they swear that they have the crown, that they're the ones with the best stuff. And then everybody in, you know, Tennessee or Nashville. Texas barbecue is great.

Kansas City barbecue, the Carolina's barbecue is great. Yeah, I thought it was turned. Oh, there you go. Thank you for doing that. No problem. That's some, some brisket burnt ends, some pork ribs. some sausage um a corn cheesy bake which was okay and some of the best freaking beans i think the best the best side of beans i've ever had at a barbecue oh my gosh you're killing me this looks so good

like maple bourbon bacon i want i want claire to just take a deep look at this zoom just really just gaze upon it claire and let us know how a vegan feels about this No, Wes, we got, I got pork ribs instead of beef ribs. Tina got, she got pork burned ends. Actually, none of us got beef ribs now that I think about it. But I love pork ribs. I love baby back ribs and so. Yeah, I'm the same.

I love beef. I'm huge, like, steaks and all that. I love it, but when it comes to ribs, 100% would rather have pork ribs. Don't know why. I think it's the fat in there. The fat, I think it's the fat, too. And I, and literally, you can't see in that photo, but I took, one of the pork ribs and pulled the bone right out of it before I even took it off the plate.

It was just melts off the bone kind of thing. Just pulled off the bone clean, set it off to the side, and then ate that. How was the, is that, is that mac and cheese? What is that? No, it's a cheese. It's called their cheesy corn, um, cheesy corn bake. And it was, it was good. There was like bits of meat in there, too.

but it was more like a it was like a corn soup cheesy corn soup it was okay interesting any kind of bread they give you some bread with this and it kind of like no and that's what I thought when I read that it was like oh cool like a cheesy corn bread I want some corn bread and um turned out to be that cheesy corn soup

corn pudding yeah corn pudding I think corn pudding I've never heard that before in my life yeah corn pudding did you get a chance to see uh Cleo or anybody while you're out there? No, no, Stephen Schlecker's the only one. We were busy and running around the entire time. Like we could have, you know, much to Connie's enjoyment. We were plopping her into the car and yanking her out of the car

multiple times a day going here, seeing this, you know, family and doing this with the family and that. Sure. Yeah, it was more of a family trip. I certainly would not mind going back out to Kansas City. I probably fly. Yeah. But I would, you know,

heartbeat go back and do that breakthrough thing again. That's cool. And doing it with Cleo and Steve would be fantastic. Or Jeremy Weichel or I think Jeff is a geek you're out there.

It would be great to see you. Like, you know. Got a lot of Midwesterner listeners out there hanging out. Could do a, you know, could do a TMS, Kansas City meetup and do Overland Park and it would be just fine.

Yeah, that'd be all right. We're going to, Wendy and I are talking about possibly something in Minnesota. at some point, but we don't have, we don't know when and we don't know what. We're all, we're still banging our head against what we're going to do, but she'll be here and there, plenty of going up there too and seeing the chip theory folks. Oh, cool.

If we can, let's plan it around the same time. Yeah, if we could coordinate that, that'd be amazing. That'd be really cool. All right, well, we'll talk more about that. All right, couple quick things while Brian was away. We got this text about something, something Wendy said, speaking of Wendy, Landon from Baton Rouge wrote in

It's Red Stick For anyone who's confused On TMS 2823 Wendy said We don't have drama Until we have language Or dreams sorry I said drama

I got to zoom in My glasses did I would agree with that actually We don't have drama Until we have language I don't know why I read it that way I'm curious how that translates to pets As language seems more sophisticated

I guess what I'm really asking Is do dogs have dreams because I seriously wanted to know. I don't know who knows this, but I wanted to put it out into the ether because Bobby or someone's going to listen to this and get curious and go dig it up. I mean, we've seen videos of dogs

and we've had dogs that run while they're sleeping because they're dreaming about chasing a ball or a rabbit or a stick or something. They definitely dream, right? It's just a matter of does the language thing apply to them? And I guess dogs do have their own language. They have their own language. Yeah, there's, you know, you can tell when a dog

is happy barking versus angry barking, dangerous barking. It's like, yeah. Yeah, we may not fully understand it or distinguish between two kinds of barking all the time. Although, I don't know. I feel like when you wouldn't know your dog well enough, you can kind of tell when it's, I need to pee versus I want to go after the chihuahua next door or whatever. But anyway, yeah, it's an interesting question about how they dream, perhaps, I guess. But I definitely see my dog's dream. Ripley's one of those dogs that will sit there and go.

oh yeah yeah yeah and then it'll start kicking and like like she's running she'll do one of those all the time i love that yeah salem well salem will will flex her paws like the jittery pause and then you'll see her uh whiskers twitching like she's she's dreaming either about eating something killing something with her teeth probably a nara yeah i want to get a translator on cats because when they do that thing where they go yeah yeah yeah when they're looking at bird or something yeah that whatever they're saying there i need to know yeah yeah what evil thing it's a it's a cat vocal fry you're gonna love by the way that reminds me you're gonna love one of these i'm doing it for my recommendal this week so i won't get super into it but there's an episode of this

love death and robots that you're gonna love because it's very cat centric oh good um and it reminds me of your cat in the way the fur on this cat is a different color but it's very okay a nara like cat kind of long mid long hair kind of cat and it's voiced by um parnell uh who's the parnell chris parnell oh excellent dr seaman yes he's great in it and the and then there's a robot in there voiced by uh john oliver and it's fantastic it's really good well oh i can't wait this season's good man i'm excited to talk about it there's some weird shit in there like there always is but i love that stuff it's like being 15 and going to the animation festival festivals all over again. I love it so much.

Spike and mics and stuff. Yeah, right now we have no shortage of things that I'm excited to watch. So good. That's a good one to kind of slate one or two here and there, like in between stuff for me. Tina doesn't care about those, but she likes the black mirror. So we watch those together, but I can watch the Love Death and Robots myself. Yeah. And they're short. So like you said, pop them in, pop them out. Rainbow Bright, Desire says she watched the 400 Boys episode. That's the title of it. It doesn't give anything away. But that is such a cool effing thing oh my gosh i loved it it's probably the standouts of this season i saw you mentioned it in discord chat uh you phrased it as i'm still thinking about 400 boards

well brian like a lot of things i type them and then realize later shit because i had that thought after too i typed it hit it yeah oh oh wait a minute i loved it though man it's good we'll talk can't wait to watch it we'll talk more tomorrow but it's it's awesome uh then another text from frost mn regarding the saint elsewhere universe thing that we talked about like a week ago whenever it was he says hey snorlax and blastos blastois blastoys that's a that's a plus 150 um evolved um or uh tort the turtle with a gun on him um oh oh my gosh this really illustrates my lack of knowledge in the pokemon universe Bulbuchar. No, not Bulbuchar.

Fat Squirrel. Geez, Louise. Squirrel I could not remember. Oh, my gosh. Squirrel gets a... Squirrel gets a gun on its back. Holy shit. Yeah, Canon. I don't know shit about these things. Anyway.

That tells you how long it's been since I've played any Pokemon Go. Still going, although they sold the whole thing to... Who'd they sell that to? Nanny. Not Nettys. There was some... Yeah, some other... They're going to keep doing the tech behind it, but they're not going to make games anymore. which I think makes sense.

I don't know. It's a weird thing with those guys. Anyway, hey, snorlax and blast toys. In the most recent episode, well, it's not so recent anymore, the discussion of the St. Elsewhere Universe Theory reminded me about another fun connection. In Detective Pikachu,

I've never seen this movie, so this is going to be new to me. In Detective Pikachu, there is a scene where the main character is watching an old gangster movie, but in the same movie, Kevin watches in Home Alone. But it's the same movie.

It's the same movie, yeah. that Kevin watches in Home Alone. That movie, Angela with 50 Filthy Souls, was a fake movie clip made from Home Alone, so there must be Pokemon in Home Alone. Oh, I did not know. I thought that was a real old gangster movie, the one that Kevin watches and the sound clips

help scare away the wet bandits. I would have assumed that. That was a real gangster movie, but that's Angela with, I think it's Angels with Filthy Souls. Oh. They put Angela. He may have just mistyed that.

sure. Angels with filthy sense? That makes more sense, right? Because Angela with filthy souls, that doesn't even make, like, possessive sense. Yeah. Angels with filthy souls, that makes sense. Angela has some filthy souls. Hey, Angela, what you, clean your filthy souls?

Clean your feet, Angela. She? Who's the boss around here? Mona. But that's cool. So, so, yeah, the Pokemon, the Pokemon and Home Alone universe, are one. I love that. Yeah. That's so cool. And somehow probably all connected

to the St. Elsewhere universe somehow. That's the whole fun of it. Somehow. Yeah, because everything, apparently all roads lead to the St. Elsewhere. Yeah. All roads lead to elsewhere. That's right. That's right. All right, you guys, it's time for some news. We got Travis coming up in a little bit. So stick around for that. Before all that, we do this.

It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Daily Music Headlines. Had Eileen cover my Friday and Monday shows. but I was back today. Thank goodness because I got to break the news. You know, there are times when a journalist gets the upper be there for the right thing, whether it's the Hindenburg explosion or the humanity or the JFK assassination or man landing on the moon.

Today I got to break the news, some truly outrageous news, that Gemmon Hologram's 40th anniversary has resulted in a brand new album coming out in July, featuring re-recordings by Britta, whatever name is, Britta Smith, I think it is, who was the original voice of Jim, coming back and re-recording six new songs for the, or six new versions of songs for the Gem and the Hologram's 40th anniversary album. That is truly, truly, outrageous. Isn't that outrageous?

It's so truly outrageous. It's so truly outrageous. Gem hype, man. Gem hype is real. Are we ever going to watch, should we watch that movie for, wasn't there a movie, a Gem and the Hologra's movies? The series, wasn't it? Wasn't it just like a...

It was a Saturday morning cartoon, I know that. Did they make a movie? Maybe they did. I thought they made a movie a few years ago. Yeah, 2015. Oh, I never... I don't remember that. I mean, 2015 was a year

or I only really remembered one movie, but everything else that happened was, you know. Starring three names that you'll never hear again, and Molly Ringwald and Juliette Lewis. Molly Ringwald and Juliet Lewis in the same film. Together, together at last. 80s icons, finally, in a film. 2015 film with

Yeah All right Oh well it's not like There was anything else That came out that year That you would have watched No not at all I wasn't distracted by any one single film that year

But I'll tell you what That sounds like a film sack movie I'll tell you that It does not like a film sac By the way Hasbro Studios And so who knows Maybe we'll get the Gem Transformers

GIO crossover We've been That we've been walking Oh that would be amazing Let's do it Let's get them all in the same room, yeah. And Bloom House Productions. What?

Holy shit. That's some early business for them. It's like we've got to see this. Monica wants to know who are the three names you'll ever hear again? Aubrey People's, Stephanie Scott, and Haley, Kiyoko. I've never heard of any of those people. Not that I'm the, I'm not your litmus test, everybody. So if you've heard of them, hey, good job.

But I've never heard of those ladies. Good luck to them. Yeah, so there you go. Lots of direct video. I'm sure they've been in the things. Oh, yeah. Okay. So, you know, Stephanie Scott was in.

Beethoven's big break, about the big dog. Okay. Haley Kiyoko was in insidious chapter three. So there's something you might have seen her in. Timo version of Kaley Kowko, was what that sounds like. Kewko, Haley Kiko. It's the, I think I misheard you, version of Haley Koko. Yeah.

I mean, you know, I hope they all find great success. It's not us, you know, we're not to be smirking them. Sure. You've made your point, Brian, says, Monica. Oh, Monica cracks me up. You've made your point. Brian makes a point. Well, anyway, that's great.

And you know, you really are the cronkite of our day to get this gym news out. Yes, to get to break the news about gem and the holograms. I mean, you know, TLCs fighting with universal music over their contract. And Trump, the orange squat goblin, is angry. at Bruce Springsteen covered that, but really it's all about Jim and the hologams. Yeah.

You know what? It was dumb. I'm just going to, I don't, you know, we don't like to drag the politics here, but. We like to talk about the orange squat goblin.

Yeah, we kind of avoid it, but his, his attorney general, but I don't remember her name, Pam Bondi, I think is her name. Yes.

She got up and said, in the wake of this, Springsteen stuff, uh, where an entire section of the country of didn't actually read the lyrics to born in the USA. She got up and said

nobody, unless you are the leader of this country, no one should be called the boss. That's what she said. That's her legal opinion. It blanked you out just as you were saying, unless you're the leader of this country, you shouldn't be what? You shouldn't be called the boss is what she said. Oh, she's. Okay. It made me want to pee

on an electric fence and then eat glass. Maybe want to chew glass. Yeah. And then she yelled at Iron Chef because of the chairman. No one should be called the chairman. Frank Sinatra. Chairman of the board.

Nope. No, no one's allowed. Michael Jackson, King of Pop. Dumb, stupid, effing thing to say. So dumb. Absolutely stupid. All right. Well, that's great.

Check out daily music headlines, everybody.com. Yes, daily music headlines.com. Let's get to the story. It's about a tourist bitten by a crocodile. That's always fun. Oh, gosh. Yeah. He was taking a selfie at a zoo.

He thought the animal was fake I don't know I don't know why you would do that at a zoo Yeah Well and why you'd think it was fake You know if it's out on the if it's out on the walkways And there are kids walking around on it Then it's fake if it's

Yeah like I mean this one was We're in the you're in the zoo It's in the cage or the enclosure What glat whatever it is Yeah I'm sorry but you're dumb If you think that's Darwin Darwinism just right here like

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did they still do Darwin Awards? I assume that's still a thing. I assume so, yeah. They're a little, sometimes. I mean, it's an embarrassment of riches for the Darwin Awards people. It's probably like shooting fish in a barrel these days.

Yeah. I feel like maybe their work is cut out for them, as they say. It really is, yeah. It says a man visiting as he was attacked by a crocodile after he climbed into the animal's enclosure to pose for photos. The man identified as Manila Bulletin. What? Okay, I'm not making that up.

This is like... No, no, no. It identified by the Manila bulletin. It's a newspaper. We talked about Texas Battle being a bad name, but imagine if your name was Manila Bulletin. Oh, my gosh, I read that so wrong. Anyway, a 29-year-old, I guess they didn't give us his name, climbed over a chainling fence with a cell phone in the hand of, sorry, in hand, at the kebug. island mangrove in wetlands park in the Philippine, southern Zamberanga,

Sibbuge province. Pretty sure I got. Yeah, I think all of that is correct. I got all of that right. That was on Monday, April 20th, so it's been a bit. Anyway, and the video obtained by viral press. I always trust them to find the viral videos. Yeah, good little viral press.

Onlookers could be heard screaming at the man and the crocodile, and the crocodile after it bit him on the arm and held on tight. That's what they do. Yeah. They are, that is literally their job in the world is to bite onto their prey tight and not let go. And then sometimes spin. I said no photos. Yeah.

I said no photos. No interviews. No interviews. Check your very old episodes of TMS for that reference. That's right. That's for the long time listeners right there. Yeah. If you've been here 10 years or more, you know who we're talking about.

Though the man could be seen sitting still as he awaited help, crocodile a female named Laylay. or Lale, I'm not sure which, dragged him through the shallow water and rolled over. That's what they do. Also, twisting his arm even further as he screamed in pain. Yeah. Oh, no, just hearing that, like, clamping under your arm and then doing the spin, the death roll or whatever they call it.

Oh, it's horrible. I mean, it's, I cannot imagine, well, I can. There's worse things, but that's pretty bad. Sure. That's pretty bad. Yeah. Police officers told the media that man had climbed into the enclosure, he thought what crocodile was fake. The tourist was walking around the east. area in a quote they say then he saw the crocodile which he thought was just a plastic fixture says police staff sergeant joe sagoya um he climbed the fence and entered the enclosure

and the crocodile attacked if you have to climb a fence into an enclosure of something it's probably not a uh something for you to take a selfie with at the zoo it's a zoo it's not your damer's yard you didn't just jump the fence to look at his dog dumb ass you think they all come from florida Maybe they immigrate there. It looks like he was from Dublin, looks like. Oh, just kidding. I just wanted, I just wanted Claire, because Claire's fishing to see what part of America this guy came from.

He's not a tourist from America. He's a, let's see. His name is Manila Bulletin. His name is Manila Bulletin. Okay, get it right. I love the name Manila Bulletin. They don't say where he was from, do they? No, but I think Ireland.

I think you're right. I think from like, you know, the aisle of something. Gugabon, whatever they have over there. I don't know what they're doing. Hey, I got some good news, everybody. I'm so stoked about this, I can barely stand it. This August, we are finally getting the Alien Earth television program brought to you by Noah Hawley's production team over on the FX channel.

And we got some details, a couple of photos, nothing too crazy, but enough to get me excited. That's a shot of who is she? that is. Sidney Chandler, right? Yeah. I don't know her, but she looks like a, you know, if you're making an alien movie, you need a female protagonist slash someone to root for who's smarter than all the

dipshits at the company. And that's who, that's, I'm thinking is her job this in the series. Oh, she was in Sugar, the Colin Farrell thing. Oh, I still don't watch that. Oh my God, dude. You know how I, you know how wanted you to watch Paradise and not tell you anything about it yeah yeah it's like that with

this i'm going to do the same thing with sugar okay yeah yeah it this one this one won't make my a1c go up either this is just a tv show no this is the sugar i want you to be on okay for sure i need to yeah i've been i mean it's i have it on my list i just got to do it oh she clear mentioned ash is she on ash in ash the the movie ash i don't know the oh movies that's the sci-fi movie? That was the sci-fi movie where this one wakes up from Stasis and her entire crew is dead and she had

to figure out. Because she's pretty impossible, but she can't remember. It's really whacked out. Yeah, I heard that was a weird one. And that's another one with the director as a name a little bit like bulletin guy. Yes. Serengi.

Yeah, something like that. Boy, your internet just went to hooey-hoey. Let's see if I can change let me change zones here. I don't know why it went so weird just suddenly it went really bad. Okay, here we go.

Robot. Okay, now say words. It's actually worse. What's going on here? Let's see. I don't know what that's about. Let's see if we change to U.S. West.

Oh. Is it letting me change? This might be a Discord thing. All right, hold on, everybody. I'm going to pause something real funky going on. I think we're okay now. That was very weird. Anyway, look at this other thing.

This is the thing I didn't know. Look at this guy. Timothy, Oliphant. Wow, cool. Nobody told me he was in it. Nice. I like Timothy. That gray hair.

She apparently, the Sidney Chandler played in some movie, played chrissey hind like in a biopic pretenders or rock and roll biopic oh that's cool i didn't know that i like that a lot i like uh the pretenders a lot look at these guys looking them out there they look like they're working on alien shit they're about to head on out to terra nova yeah yeah but this will be a lot better than taranova one would hope you know uh can't i don't like mr feet man whoever that is it's gonna piss me off uh just eight feet I just don't like people showing their feet to me. I just don't like it.

And then you got, who's that? Adrian Edmondson. I don't know him. All of this sounds great. Adrian Edminson. That name sounds familiar like I've seen some British, uh, Star Wars. He's, uh... Is he Star Wars guy?

Let's see. Who's he in Star Wars? Um, not recognizing... Oh, duh, Adrian Edmondson. He's, uh, the young ones. was uh oh what from uh yeah with the with the hair oh my gosh that's vivian that's vivian that's vivian from the young ones holy cow i'm i love that he's anywhere near this are you kidding the one that was like walking around going okay you guys we need to go to the

he was like that that one the frumpy one no no he was uh that was neal was the guy oh then it's the short guy with the the little spikes on his head then that guy exactly the rocker with the orange hair and the yes he was like the johnny rotten like sort of he was the johnny rotten like exactly not the mod not the uh adam ant looking dude but the um but the full on punk rocker he's um i've played him on the show a few times uh he is in a band called the bad shepherds and um they do really cool covers of uh 80s songs and stuff that's great oh my god he's married to Jennifer Saunders of Abfab. That's crazy. I didn't know

that. Jeez, look at all these connections and look at Noah Hawley in the middle of it all, you know? Yeah, yeah. Ooh. Oh, this is great. I'm even more, I was excited before and I'm even more excited about this. This is a person called, and I don't want to freak anyone out, but this person's name is

Utani. Hmm. Oh, oh, like she is actually named Utani. Yeah, it sounds like perhaps her and Wayland. Scott Wayland got together. Uh-huh. I started singing about, Ren. Up here.

That's great. Yeah, exactly. All right. I'm stoked about this. When is this July, right? Oh, August. August. I can't wait.

You know what it's mostly on the backs of? It's entirely on the backs of Noah Holly. It's entirely on the back with that. Because if you just said, hey, they're doing an alien series, I'd be so skeptical. I'd be just like, okay, well, we'll see when it comes. I wouldn't be, like, hating on it. But I wouldn't be all out of my mind about it. but Noah Hawley has done nothing I didn't love.

Fargo was amazing. The Marvel thing. Those dark episodes of, those dark seasons of Legion that he did. He did the whole series of Legion, but the second and third seasons got dark. Oh, they got real dark. And they were so good.

He's so good. Yeah, yeah. Shit. I can't wait. Yeah. All right. Wait until the middle August. That's one I'm not going to wait and like binge.

I'm watching them week by week, man. Yeah. Yeah, same, same. August can't get here quick enough. Although things are moving too quick, so maybe August can take its time. You know what I mean? No kidding. Yeah. Yeah. Time's really weird right now. This May. This was May. I know. Maybe the rest of May and all of June could take a little bit more time to get me some more bike riding time. Yeah. It would be nice. Good Lord, May. May is stupid right now. Yeah, it is. Oh my gosh. You are a real close. No, it's the end of June. So you got some time to prep. I have a month and a half, or a month and, a month and a week, something like that. Yeah, two weeks. Yeah. And I'll be, I guess we've talked about this. I'm going to be gone the same weekend, I think, that you raised.

It's going to be perfect. Yeah, it's all going to work out. Don't worry, everybody. We've got lots of sandbag content like Filmsack. We'll have a show. Yeah, yeah. Everything will be fun. We've been nailing down the film sack recording timeline. It's all, it's all planned. It's all safe. That's right. Everybody calm down. Here's the deal now, though. We're going to take a break with a song and one more. we come back from that we're going to spend a little time with our old pal Travis he's going to come on here and do some stuff so get ready for that he's going to trivialize our time with him that doesn't sound right uh but we need a song first brian so please tell me what you got i'm going to do a quick uh like yesterday great job uh with the indian the middle uh except you didn't give the band name until the end and the band name is teeth you're like calling it teethe uh i thought

They're from, or the singer-songwriter Sedona, it's one person, magnetic. She's a lady from L.A. And she recorded the album between her hometown of Los Angeles and New York, and she kind of bounced back and forth. She's originally from New York City, but now she lives in L.A.

In any case, she's got an incredible, incredible voice. The brand new album is called, oh, I'm sorry, every once in a while. This is the first single. It's called The Culprate. Here is Sedona.

do that easily. Here we go. All right, Travis and coming. Spend a little fun quality time with him. Here we go. This is Travis, and you'll do well to listen carefully to what he has to say. You surely will. It is Travis, and he is joining us all the way from where he lives. I'm not going to out him. I'm not going to docks him, okay? From his address on Spooner Street. That's right. Just know it's an important part of, let's call it the Midwest, and let's call it, you know, an important part of America's industrial revolution, that area of the world. Let's just say that.

How about that? That fits, doesn't it? Travis, how are you? How are you doing? I'm doing quite well. Yeah, it fits. I mean, it's as good as, it's the nicest thing I can say about where I'm at.

Yeah, and that's cool. There's nothing wrong with that. By the way, this is going to be an all-timer forever. I'm into this shit. Yeah, right there. We're going to keep that forever. It's too good. We do need one where you get the full jokes on you.

I'm into this shit. I actually have that one. problem is that uh who was your partner i can't remember who were you with oh bobby bobby oh he cut you off a little so that's why i usually don't play this one but here it is i'll just play a little bit of it yeah so you had like a little bit of a yeah there's a little bit of yeah but we got both because we got both i mean that that's the greatest line ever oh they're amazing they're amazing anyway hey you you keep talking about how you peaked early i disagree you have not peaked early that was just a that was just an early peak

right exactly there are many more peaks to come yeah many more well it's good in range of comedy good to have you here man we're excited about being trivia tested by you yes

yeah no we're gonna we we it's been a month little over a month I guess yeah and uh Brian you've got some catching up to do because a little bit yeah

yeah I think though isn't it I'm like only one or two will be oh no I'm not I'm like a five no you're not you're like maybe I thought it was close behind. Is it really four? Four to zero, I think, is what it is. Holy shit. I haven't been enjoying my lead very much. I need to start enjoying it. I didn't realize. You need to start enjoying it, Scott, because I'm not used to it. Even if I do well, I'm not catching up for September or August.

Oh, my gosh. All right. Well, I'll see what happens. Travis, take it away. I have no idea what you've brought today, so let's see if I can maintain my lead or if Brian will come and destroy me. Yeah, so we're going to start round one with the movie. um i'm going to give you cast members from the movie scott you get to start our bidding uh all right cast members from a movie okay i can probably do that in uh three i'm gonna start with three yeah i will take two um do it let's have you do it you can try for one i don't think i could do it let's have them do two i may have over extended yeah all right brian here's your two cast members from this movie.

Ryan Philippi Benicio del Toro Ryan Philippi that's when I get to remember which Ryan that is there's so many rhymes that we got all at once

between our gozzlings and our Reynolds and I have to remember Ryan the lesser the lesser Ryan the lesser I love that they're coming back since you get a bunch of rhymes

you get a bunch of chrises now yeah yeah it's all it all comes in waves we're in the end of our Ryan wave but Benicio del Toro that feels like the one I need to kind of hang my hook on because that's

there are far fewer movies that I know with Benicio del Toro um I don't know this one yet man my my

my best guess just because I know there was a big cast in it would be traffic. So I'll guess traffic. It's a good guess, but incorrect. You know what? That's a great guess. I would have, when you said it, I went out, shit. I think he just got it, but no.

All right, do I get an extra name? You get an extra name. Okay, give me that name. We have Ryan Filopee. We have Benicio del Toro, and you also get Juliette Lewis. Oh. Okay, well, it's not either of the

Sicario movies because she's not in that um god I can't look like Juliet Lewis for me has been so much television I think of older movies with her

but it would have been before Benicio Liltor was a known quantity yeah maybe I'm struggling here um I may have

I may have gone too deep a cut on this maybe i don't even know if i've i can't even picture it if i've even seen this um and i like him i'll kind of go out of my way to see movies he's in yeah so i'm just going to wing it and say uh this is a dumb one i'll just say the second cicario movie because i really have nothing else to come into mind sure uh incorrect it's that cape fear lays it i mean i mean uh it i Think of Cape Fear with Juliet Lewis. Were they like little kids in

Cape Fear or something? No, actually in the chat, Matuba got it right. The Way of the Gun. Oh, I've never seen it. The Way of the Gun. Okay. Do you know what that is? Brian? I've never heard of it. Uh-uh. No. I've heard the name. 2001, I believe, is when it came out.

And it also has Juliette Lewis and her dad, Jeffrey Lewis, as well as James... I always forget. Jeffrey Lewis is her dad. I always forget. Yeah. Yeah. So weird. a little kind of I don't want to say noir, but sort of that kind of crime drama.

I think Juliette Lewis is a she's like a surrogate mother in it. It's an interesting movie. It's not great, but I enjoyed it. Do you think Jeffrey Lewis could watch the viewing of from Dust Hill Dawn and hear his daughter say that one line without just cringing

or turning away or whatever? Oh, I always forget that she's in that. She says the nastiest thing in that and he I just don't. Actually, if you people say that we've watched Wave the Gun for Film Sack. Did we really? No. No.

Yeah. 3992 says Sean Moore. I don't remember this at all. There's a lying way of the gun. She's okay. I do remember this film. Oh my God. Yeah. I'm looking at the quick sack.

Let's see. I don't remember this. Two low level criminals who kidnap a woman Juliet Lewis pregnant with a child of a mafia money launderer. Yeah. Yeah, I vaguely remember this. Okay. James Kahn is the gangster. All right.

Yep. Yeah, Nikki Kat, Scott Wilson. I remember talking about him. Okay. A little forgettable, if I'm being honest. Yeah. You're not wrong. I still barely remember it even now talking about it.

All right. I remember Nicky Kat being a real dick. Yeah. He knows how to do that real well on his roles. He does. Yeah. Anyway. All right.

So nobody gets from one one. We'll move on to round two. And Brian's going to start our bidding on, I've got an actor. We'll go with titles of movies. This actor has been it. Titles of movies. Okay. All right.

I swear I hear the ocean behind his call. I do too. Yeah. You got a weird mic thing. It may be Discord's being funky for everybody. It could be Discord because we're having the problems earlier. This is the mic I always use. It's like a weird hiss.

um boy i mean i know if i say three you're going to go two i'm going to do it anyway and and hope that the two aren't obvious so i'm hearing myself oh i hear no i don't hear me yeah okay am i good now okay i think you're good now all right i'm going to i'm going to go i'm going to go i'm going to regret it i'm going to go three three movies yeah i'll do i'll do i'll try to try two all right

you know what no reason not to I'll try one you can be a you can be a movie I'll try and name an actor from it all right

name that actor not to yeah go for it here's your movie Brian SWAT well

the only actor I can remember from that thing is LL cool J so I'm gonna say LL cool J I mean that's a good guess right

one of two that I would think of from that movie. I'll say, oh, can you get me, you give me another movie. Give me another movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we got SWAT and 28 weeks later. Oh. Okay, that's tricky, though, because I was thinking of Colin Farrell. Oops, it's all janky again.

what the heck discord why discord have to be this way let me fix these let me switch to other ISP oh there we go there we go it worked better now Travis and I said they're talking is like do you hear Scott nope I don't hear Scott that's really weird

okay so let's go with SWAT and 28 weeks later yeah Colin Farrell was going to be my blurt out because he's in, oh, no, maybe that's not him in SWAT. But he's not in the other one, so I don't know why I'm even bringing him up. All right, 28 weeks later, love that movie. It's a very early role for Jeremy Renner.

I don't know if Jeremy Renner is in the other thing or not, but I'm going to say Jeremy Renner. That is correct. Oh, nicely done. Oh, that's great. I was thinking of that movie because it's the first time I ever saw him. And also Idris Elba, the first time I ever saw Idris Elba in anything other than I think I'd heard mention of him, but

that was the first thing I'd seen him in. He played a general from the American Army in that. That movie's great. 28 weeks later is underrated. People always go, oh, the first one's better. I kind of disagree. I think two's like the killer movie, and I cannot wait for years. It was Eccleston and the first one or the second one?

First one. First one. Okay. I really like, God, yeah, I do still think I like the second one better, but man, that whole... I need to rewatch the second one. It's been way too long. It's a good time to watch it with the new one, coming up. This summer is the next summer? This summer.

This summer. Yeah. That and all the marble shit, that's like number one on my list. I cannot wait to see it. Can't wait. All right. I feel good about that. Colin Farrell was the other one, by the way, from SWAT that I, like, if I think of SWAT,

all I think of is Colin Farrell and L.O. Cool, Jay. I forget that Colin Farrell was in SWAT. That's funny. That's weird because I kind of thought he was, but then disagreed with myself. Swat's not very good. It's okay. It's not great. All right.

Yeah, no. And we definitely watch that one for film, Sack. I remember that. I remember that one. Didn't we? Yeah, I think we could. All right. Round three, music round.

Scott's going to start out hitting on the song. I have, they're not consecutive. They're somewhat consecutive, but I have one second, two, three, four, and five seconds of this. One, two, three, and four? One, two, three, four, and five. And this is me. Is this a me turn?

You get to start the bidding, yeah. Okay. Three seconds. Three seconds. All right. Brian? Oh, questions. Would Scott go to one if I went to?

I'm not going to chance. I'm going to do one and hope that it's a one second that I recognize. You're very good at this one, so I have a feeling you'll do fine. Let's have, let's give it the one. It feels like the only one of these that I can sink my teeth into every month. Let's give it a shot. Here we go for your one second, Brian. Ooh, okay.

That's immediately familiar. Yeah, do it again. Yeah, you can get one more. Yeah, you can get one more. Is that? Um, I know it to me. I know it.

I just can't, I cannot. Yeah, and I don't want to say the band and give you the answer. I'm pretty sure I know the band, because I saw these guys in concert and it was one of the greatest shows I'd ever seen. Let's see. I think it's Muse is the band, and I think it's... super massive black hole it's a great song it's not the one I play

shoot all right and then you get three songs three seconds on it yeah give me yeah scott you three seconds of the song you ready here we go oh that's Metallica isn't it can play me three seconds one more time

one more I can give you one more okay Not Metallica? I don't know. Now I'm questioning everything. All right. I'll go with my gut. I think that's Metallica.

Okay. You got a tightness? Oh, no, no, no, no. That's a... In the dark. At least I think it might be. and that's my shit

oh I know this song you're talking about that's Allison Chains and I don't know dude okay I'll just I'll guess um uh

Alice and Chains and that song I don't know know the name of the song it's not rooster it's the other one on dirt i love that album it's a great album uh also not the song that's not the song is it damn it all right you were on the right track it was metallica ah shit i disappear by metallic wow okay that's a deep cut man i'm i feel like you might have even given me five seconds on that one i would not have gotten it i know i don't know i can't even think of this a few songs by metallic i know very

well and that is not one of them it's fair that's hard that's a lesser known because I don't remember if it was I think it eventually was on the reload album it wasn't on load though it was on reload right oh I hate the load album

that album cover makes me nauseous oh yeah yeah the cover is terrible the album itself is pretty good oh the album's great and it was also highly people were very critical because it was such a you know they're trying to make a comeback and a departure and it was very Much like, oh, what's metallic going to be now in the 90s when they're past their quote-unquote prime?

But it was still a pretty good album. But that album cover makes me want to vomit. And I never can throw up. You know how hard it is for me. So, anyway. All right. All right. Damn.

We've got Scott one, two push, and we're on to round four. Brian, you're going to start our bidding on round four. All right. And this is a director. Director, okay. Based on titles that they have directed. Movie titles. Oh, boy.

My weakest thing is director. Scott knows these inside now, but I want to play defensively on this. Smart. I'm going to go two. Two, all right. Okay, well, knowing what we know about the others, I'm going to attempt one so I can try to stave off a tie. Is this our final round or just our second of final round?

No, we've got one more. We've got one more round after this. All right, you know what? I'm going to actually let him do it. Sorry. I mean, why wouldn't you take one? Well, you've got no reason not to. Well, oh, that's true, because then the next one, you're right.

You know what? I will do one. I'll see what happens. Yeah. All right. I don't know what my math is. I don't know why I'm helping you. Why am I helping you?

That being said, I have good comeback in the second half of the year. That's what you're listening. Yeah. Exactly. This is karma. I know. Exactly. I want to.

All right, Scott, here's your one title that this person directed. Bart Simpson, do the Bartman. You're kidding me. Bart Simpson do the Bartman. They can't all be laid out. I know, no, they definitely can't be. This is the most non- music video, I'm assuming.

Yeah, so, all right, well, now I've got to connect all the other clues. I think I have an idea on the other clues. What ties us all together? Yeah, I'll be interested to see if you get the theme as well. Once you hear it, you'll know, you'll, you know, forehead smack. Kick myself in the butt. I honestly. I honestly don't know.

I'll just make a guess so I can try to resolve this here. David Fincher. Not a bad guess, but incorrect. I'm trying to think of music video people. I know, yeah. It seems like all of our current directors are all former music video people, though. It was a good way to start for a lot of them. Ryan, you would guess two, right?

So you get one. So I get a second movie. Yep. So we had the Bart Simpson, do the Bartman. Another one is Tomorrowland. Oh, which I never watched. I didn't either.

Oh, no, I did. I think I did watch it. Watch streaming. And it was, again, a little bit unmemorable, the coin that makes her flip back and forth between. I don't remember what it was. What was the... Yeah.

Like, she could hold this coin. It would flip her back and forth. between where she lived and then this this like the future as we imagined it in 1950 looking kind of future just with a coin store i'd never heard of that tomorrow land yeah based on the disney uh um i don't know but i'm going to base on on the other clues that we've gotten i'm going to guess mcg mcg uh no incorrect who is it So a couple other movies this person directed That you might have heard of before

The Incredibles Oh, that was Brad Bird Freaking Brad Fing Bird Brad Bird Brad Bird, yes, okay Jeez One of his first credits is Bart Simpson's Do the Bart Man

And he actually said that was one of the hardest things He ever had to do because he had like two weeks to do it Dang it Wow, okay Yeah, they are I think I'm way off on what I thought the theme was crap. Okay, but I think I know the... Well, wait a minute, though.

Possibly. This might help. It might not. All right. All right. We got one more. So our fifth round, it's another actor. We're going with titles again. It's hard sometimes to do like characters because a lot of these actors, it'd be like saying Nick Cage and then giving you characters that he's played

because they'll see Nick Cage all the time. Right, right. movie titles uh scott you're going to start our bidding okay movie titles movie titles we have to get the actor yes okay i'm gonna do i'm gonna go one wow yeah yeah okay okay ultimate defensive play yeah yeah yeah what are we do with a tie for what i would guess with one if we do get a tie we get a tie breaker right that's how this goes yeah You've got one in my nothing, so there's, there's, we don't need a tiebreaker. Even if you get this wrong, it's, uh, oh, I still, there's not a tie. That's right.

That's right. Okay. Well, I'll take it. Let's do it. Okay. All right. Here's your one movie. Wasabi.

Help. I love that movie. I saw that movie. It was a little kid. It was a little kid. I saw that movie. Yeah, I love that movie. It's just the one line, though.

It's a real short movie. Wasabi. Yeah. I don't remember. You make a great film sack movie, by the way. What is? What is, well, I guess you can't tell me. It's a movie starring.

And I'm looking, I'm sorry, looking for the actor, Actor, not director. Nope. I know Sun Bun, they have not sacked Wasabi. It's a reasonable assumption. I mean, I've been many movies. What have we done? Like 400?

Didn't we do our 400th episode recently? Oh, I... Oh, no, you're welcome. Wasabi, when I'm doing actor, not director. Actor. Yes, actor. Boy, the theme of this is really alluding me. Because normally by this stage, we kind of know, do you, Brian, understand where we're at with the theme?

I have a guess that, you know, I can't say. I might type it to Travis just to, but I'm not, he's not going to tell me if I'm right or not, but I want to get it in case you somehow guess it. Okay. Well, if it's wasabi, if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's another one of those. not as good as the rest of his catalog Blupe Basin movies Like it's no It's no professional and it's no fifth element

Yeah it's like it's like one that kind of skirted by Nobody really watched But what the actor? I don't know anything I don't even know if I've ever heard of a movie called Wasabi So my guess is purely based again on the other The other things we've got I think this is the name

I may even be wrong about this, because I don't know what the theme is, and these seem so all over the place. I cannot tell how they're all connected. But if it's the movie I'm thinking of, this is his return work with that French dude, and if I can't think of his name, I'm going to kick myself. Because Luke Bassan is French, and he was in the professional, and his name was... Oh, I know who you're talking about. I know the dude you're talking about.

He looks like my friend Andrew. who's German descent. Let's see if we can remember his name. Oh, maybe if it's him, that may explain the connection. The connection. The pattern. Because of the first Mission Impossible, he's in that. Going to need a name.

All right, hold on. Natalie Portman, totally little kid doing her thing. What's his name yelling? Everyone at the camera. camera. They're running around doing stuff. French guys, the hitman, and his name is John. Oh, uh, it just came. Oh, and then it left. Hold on. John? No, not John. Gene? John. John. Probably French. John. John. John? I can't think

of his last name. I guess I give up. John, it's right there. I can't. John, John, John, John, I guess I give up. I don't know. The biggest little city in Nevada. Oh, Reno!

I was, yeah, until you started down that path, I was like, well, it's got to be Tom Cruise, right? I mean, we're talking Mission Impossible here with Renner and the, the, the, the Metallica song I disappear on the set of track. It's got to be the connection is the Mission Impossible series, right? Like the whole series is our thing today. Yeah, because the new movie comes out Thursday.

Yes. Yeah. Final recognition is coming out. And so here's how everything ties together. So Jean Reno is in the first Mission Impossible. I actually watched that on my way to Vegas on the plane. Because I didn't see

a little while. How'd that hold up? It was fun. It was all right. Go back and rewind up. Yeah. I still like. um it's not my favorite in the series uh but you enjoy that my favorite in the series is actually brad bird directed mission impossible ghost protocol i'd forgotten that brad bird directed any of these didn't mcg direct a couple uh no no it was oh mark richard mark paulma no it was brian de palma did mission impossible two of course it's with the birds the song i disappear it was on the soundtrack for that two's not the

best but I like the John Woo-ness of it you know I like that my problem with too is it's too much John Wu for Mission Impossible but too much mission impossible for John Wu yeah yeah he won't give me enough of even

but that movie gave us Metallica's I disappear and it introduced me to do Grey Scott so I'm happy for both of those DeGray's awesome Corey is what I'm thinking of yeah Christopher McCoy is your he's your yeah

Christopher is your recent guy right he's in the last like four of them which i thought this was part like his thing was dead reckoning part one i thought this is going to be called dead reckoning part two but it's final reckoning reckoning yeah so mccory has re-directed um rogue nation fallout and both the recent ones i missed some four of them so i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna go on the outside though and say that my favorite i still think i think the j j abrams three is my favorite i love that one i really liked dead reckoning we saw that in the theaters that when I think came out just post-pandemic. Like, it feels like, or no, the release of it was halted during the pandemic, but then...

I guess I haven't seen that one yet. I need to catch up. I'm by, like, three behind. Do you need to watch that before the one this week? Yeah. Yeah, Dead Reckoning Part 1 was real good. Yeah. Boy, it could be my second favorite.

Abrams, three is carried by Philip Seymour Hoffman. He is so good. I loved it. I think three, I go back to three all the time. I freaking loved it. So good. I think the thing with... It's got your favorites, got Mantis from the Guardians, the Palm Clementeuf.

Yeah, she's in the one too, right? She's in the last few, I think. She's in the... She got a big old scar on her belly or something. Ghost Protocol. Yeah. Ghost Protocol did such a cool opening where they're at the Kremlin. Yeah.

It's blown up because they didn't shoot the Kremlin at all. There's no... Like, they built the Kremlin in CG for that entire scene. That's cool. Watching it because I had no idea. idea. Yeah, the Brad Bird one's real good. You're not wrong about that. I always forget about that one too. And that

featured Renner much more prominently than the next one which barely had it. Yeah. Yeah, because his schedule got all jacked up with Avengers stuff and so he couldn't do it. That's part of why he kind of got written out of the series. Look how big Tom Cruise's head looks on his little

body on the fallout poster. I think that's funny. There's a real proportion issue there. Does look pretty big. Yeah, I need to watch Dead Reckoning one more time before. Because we're seeing the new one Thursday night. It's our return to Thursday night movies for T&I. Sweet. And so I need to watch.

I mean, I'm sure Elmo Draft House will do a previously in Mission Impossible, and they'll have a 10-minute recap video, which I love. Love their recap videos. Sure. Yeah, we'll get a review on Friday, right? You'll come in with a quick review. You will. 100%. Sure.

All right. We need a tiebreaker, right? or no? No, there's no tie. You won. Oh, I won. I got zero right this time. This entire game, I just feel, this is why I'm always surprised that I'm ahead, because I always feel like Brian is right there.

Just right there. Oh, yeah, no, no. So enjoy your victory. I'm like, you know, savor, savor your five-nothing lead. I feel like Ripley. The whole rest of the ship got destroyed in Alien 3, but I can't, I can't take the win. It doesn't feel right. It's take the wind and enjoy it. You deserve it. You earned it for knowing more Metallica songs than I do, the three that I know, called Sandman One and Nothing Else Matters.

Sure. Great songs, though. You're not wrong about those. Great songs. I mean, if you're going to love, three Metallica songs, those are the three to enjoy. The big hits. Good job. Very good. Well, thank you very much. Travis, that was awesome. A tight one today, a hard one today. You know? I wanted to amp up the toughness just a little bit. Maybe next month we'll be here. We'll see. Just, you know, make it all Spice Girls, Lilo and Stitch and Marvel movies. Yeah. Movies like Ant Man and Wasp like Scott hasn't watched.

Or the new Marvel's one with the three ladies. Do that one. Oh, yeah, the Marvels. Yeah, sure. Still need to watch that. No, I almost went with Lilo and Stitch as a theme. That's the other movie coming out this week. Oh, that's already, this week?

Jeez. This week, yeah. That's fast. Well, two-thirds of the way through May. I don't know how this happened. Like, January was just last week. Tell me about it. Well, here's what I do want you to tell us about your show, where people can find it, and why they should listen.

Yeah, so I do a few now. And you can find them all at TVsTravs.com. This week, my next episode of Wait You Haven't seen will come out. I talked with Hammond, Chamberlain. He brought me a movie. Another one you should probably think about doing for film set called China. Strike Force. I love the name already.

Sounds awesome. It co-stars Mark DeKoskis and Kulio. Oh, we go. And Kulio is playing a character named Kulio. Sweet. So it's perfect. Sweet.

Nice. You had me at none of this. I also had it in my head that Kulio died. I thought Kulio had passed away. So I don't know why I thought that. But I'm glad he's around. If you like Hong Kong action, it's actually, it's pretty fun. because it's got some pretty incredible stunt work in it.

Is Cooleo dead? Not quite Jackie Chan level? Pretty good. Sorry, I need to know this. Cooleo, if he's dead, I feel justified, but also sad. If he's alive, that's great. But now, what are we going to do for Cooleo? Yeah.

Oh, he did die. Yeah, Culeo is dead. Oh, shit. Okay, well, rest in peace. Well, we know we didn't kill him. Yeah, it wasn't us who did it. In retrospect. We're all good here.

All right. Well, make sure you check that show out. Oh, go ahead. Yeah. Well, I have another one. So I launched it in Vegas, but it's Stephen Adams and I, or Hawkeye, as he is in the chat, thanks to Scott. He looks just like Renner. He and I are doing deep dives, and we are episode three of Fast and Curious is live today, where we talked about Tokyo Drift.

Oh, that's right. Yeah. Also, still my favorite of the bunch. I really like that one. so far in my face too it's a good movie well awesome well hawkeye may your arrows always be true

and may you uh Travis have a fantastic week and may that weird hiss behind your voice always remain because now I find it sexy and it's turning me on we'll see you soon bye whoop there it goes yeah it was definitely on his end you know what your audio your audio has got really chubby did it I'm gonna try

discord is definitely discord is poop in the bed because I don't think this uh yeah I don't know what's causing it it's all very strange How about now? Better now? Is it clear? Better now, yes. Because it was like, it was almost like you were, it was putting gaps and then catching you up to the gaps and then gap and then catching up to the gap. Yeah, it's been doing it to all of us all day.

I blame, yeah. I blame Discord. Discord. Discord is an easy blame on this one. Yeah, and they did a weird update yesterday. Well, I don't know if it's weird. I think it's weird now, but they did a big update. Maybe that was, maybe they've screwed something up.

That's fantastic news. Yeah, I don't think, I think, Travis, I think it was also a discord issue. I don't think it was anything with your mind. microphone or your background sounds or anything like that no i don't either i don't think it's it wasn't and it was a digital sound not a fan it was fan like but not it was not analog i don't know where it was coming from it's fan like it was like tom had this for a while remember that when his thing was doing that yeah it's like that anyway we'll figure it out by tomorrow hopefully uh but that's gonna do it for today's good times uh quick note here uh that uh you can find all our stuff at frogpants.

dot com slash TMS that i can promise you that means our our patreon which you really should support at patreon.com slash tms we need it to thrive and survive and uh we'll have more our show tomorrow that'll be uh our wednesday edition of the show we'll have recommendals all that fun stuff tom merritt all the fun things so be here tomorrow for that Brian in the meantime we really should play a song for these guys at the end I'm excited to play a song this one coming from Jorge and tribute um you know these sad sad dedications I It always breaks my heart to hear your stories, but I'm happy that you choose our show to share them

and to look for some solace in them. Jorge writes in and says, Hello, Jens. My brother recently suffered a massive stroke that has left him immobile. My dad's favorite song was Vincente Fernandez Ami Manera, which is the Spanish version of My Way by Frank Sinatra. Yes, I know this isn't the original,

but who the hell knows about com de bittud? Bittude, which is the original by Claude Francois, the original version of My Way, was a French song by Claude Francois. And has been adopted by the family is the pick-me-up song when things go bad. Could you play any version of the song from me and my family? Thank you both, King Kim Mizabi.

Well, I'm sorry to hear about your brother, and I hope, you know, in time that he's able to kind of regain things. Tina's brother suffered a stroke a couple years ago and was able with physical therapy and everything to come back from that. So I'm hoping that that's the same for your brother. This is my favorite version of Ami Manana. There's a great version.

So I want to stick with the Spanish language version and not go with the French or the Frank Sinatra, you know, covers of the English version, which the English version actually was written by Paul Anka. Paul Inka was the one who converted the lyrics from French into English, and then Frank Sinatra, of course, had that massive hit with it. This is a version by Robin Williams. This is from the soundtrack to the film Happy Feet from 2006. You know, you got to think about little tribute to Robin Williams while we hear this, but it's delivered in true Robin Williams style. Here is Amin Manera, or My Way, by Robin Williams.
