Hello, everybody.
Welcome to TMS.
It is the morning stream for Monday, August 25th, 2025.
I'm Scott Johnson.
That's Brian Nibbitt.
We got a 25-25 today.
We do.
I know we love them.
We love them.
Get to do them every month.
It's right.
Well, a 2875.
We have a...
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, but it is. I see what you're just saying 20. Yeah, yeah.
But every month we get a, yeah, every month we get a 25. And that's nice.
08, 25, 25. A little something to look forward to, you know.
That's right. That's right. Plus the whole podcast. That's what we're doing today.
You can look forward to that too. Yeah. It's not just about dates here.
More so, I would say, even more than the. That's, of course, Brian. I'm Scott. It's nice to see you all.
I hope you're all. Hope you had a good weekend, everybody. I know Brian probably did, but actually, I haven't heard how it went. How was wedding to the celebration?
I've been surprisingly quiet about the events that occurred on Saturday.
For those catching up, Tristan and Kay eloped at the beginning of July, July 1st.
They went down to Garden of the Gods and eloped, got married.
But we wanted to throw them a ceremony, or not ceremony, a reception.
Because when you lope, you don't get that.
You don't get that big party with all your friends to celebrate your marriage.
So that's what we did for them on Saturday.
We turned our house into a open zone for all of Tristan NK.'K.'s friends that they work with and tons of our family showed up.
Amazingly, we had the big surprise of Barry showing up.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Didn't tell any of us just walked in with a big old suitcase full of wine.
It was so great to see Barry.
That's awesome, dude.
Very cool of Barry to do that.
Surprised all of us.
because he's on the D&D
he's gone to
Vegas with Tristan and I
and he's part of the D&D group
Plus he's a mover and a shaker man
He's a mover and a shaker
Just shows up somewhere and there he is
That's just the deal
Awesome dudes we know
So big things to Barry
And about 50 to 60 of
You know
A combination of our family and friends
And Tristan and Kay's friends as well
and um i was behind the grill for i think tin i figured out five hours five and a half hours
holy shit dude i knew you're cooking i didn't know you're going to be like stuck there for yeah well i
mean that's the deal the if you do if you don't do it is like a all right everyone's show up
promptly at five dinner will be served at 5 30 yeah um it was it was open house style so basically
i was i was a constant short order cook like there was not a point at which
um i didn't have onions caramelizing and patties going it was like all right and i if i would
have thought about i would have done it with like a whole window of people coming up to me and
telling me their order and then sticking around while i made it um because as it was it was like
uh yeah blue hair uh your burger's ready come on and get it uh snake bite uh piercings and tattoos your
your orders up
sure you yell blue hair
and you get like eight people to respond
there were there were eight
at least eight people with blue hair
I mean I wanted
you know if it was my party I would have lined
everybody up with the
the weird hair colors
of the bright hair colors I should say
and just tried to do like a Skittles rainbow
of all the colors like
rainbow of fruit hair flavors I love it
it would be great because we had like
you know half of the party
had
or maybe a third of the party had
Why does that remind me about...
Do you remember there was a series of commercials
not terribly long ago where
it was like all the kids there
were various forms of sort of punk and crazy
mohawk hair and piercings and stuff
and then older
conservative looking people
and they're all getting it together
and it's all great. There's some food
or drink that's bringing them all together.
It's ringing a weird bell.
Anyway, someone in the chat will know it
and then we'll all be clear to this stupid number.
starts off with them kind of being like
looking at each other like, no, we're not
talking to them. Yeah. And then
some food brings them together. I can't remember what it is.
Anyway, as you described
that as like, that's that commercial. Anyway,
that's funny. But yeah,
no, no real problems.
This was a great opportunity.
I was fine being behind the griddle,
the whole party, doing that sort of thing.
At one point, and maybe it was after
a lot of ciders,
a lot of berries, wine. And
a shot of Mallort, which
oh no. It was always
the flavor of regret. It was
a, listen, it was a calculated ploy
about the Mallort. Oh. And here's
why. All right. This
bottle has been sitting in my cabinet
for years.
And
you got a bunch of kids there,
don't know what Mallort is, what it
tastes like. The perfect opportunity
to get rid of
that stupid bottle of Mallor
that's been sitting in the cabinet. That's a great
idea, actually.
But then you're, but you're forced to sort of partake a little bit.
I do one shot with them and then they're like, oh, this is horrible.
Oh, I got to make Celeste try this.
Let me go get Celeste.
And then they go out and get more friends, recruit them, bring them in.
And I can just wash my hands of the whole thing and step back and go away.
Still have never tasted it, although it came close in Vegas, didn't it, with that bottle.
Oh, did you almost try them a lot there?
Well, remember they brought us a bottle to the table.
Oh, they did.
And we couldn't drink it because.
They wouldn't let us.
It was outside alcohol.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think it was Missou.
come running around the back and go,
you guys get a drink to have it in here.
100%
Mitzoula brought the Mallort.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was like Clint Eastwood in that movie
where he takes a bullet for the president.
He was like running through there,
dive in front of it.
That was great.
If you,
you know,
if you ever want a reason to,
uh,
to confirm why,
why drinking is bad,
just have a shot a mallort,
Scott.
And you'd be like,
oh,
this is why I don't drink or why,
you know,
yeah.
I don't even know if I could do a shot.
I'll,
I'll do a little tasty.
You would have to do like a little sip.
It really,
it really tastes it's wormwood or something
but it really does taste to me like
pencil shaving and that's
kind of the worst
this would be an interesting thing with Wendy's
hold your nose and take a drink deal
and then see if part of it is just the smell
of Mallort. Oh right like our cinnamon thing
yeah yeah but
this was an opportunity
oh yeah that's where I was going so
me being behind the grill
just kind of being
this is a Tristan K party
I'm there to
to get these kids fed they kept coming up multiple you know oh can i get another burger and my
stuff was really simple i had um on one side of the griddle caramelizing onion salt pepper a little
bit of brown sugar just letting them caramelize up and then patty's on the left side uh from
balls of meat that we measured out and put and froze earlier on and then thought out
Thursday.
Put the onions on top of the burger ball, smash, let that cook, flip it over, put it on
the bottom half of a bun with this sauce that I made that's amazing, ketchup mustard,
Worcestershire sauce, mayo, salt pepper, pickle juice, and shaved garlic.
Ooh, killing me here.
Good on everything.
Yeah, everything you described is making me hungry at, what, 907 in the morning?
Jeez, Louisa.
And then anything else that?
they want on it, boom, it's on the table behind me.
So I don't have anything else to do.
But we're there as support.
This was the Tristan K party.
And so these kids were, these kids were, you know, playing cornhole.
And then somehow they found the echo show in the kitchen and they started doing karaoke to echo show.
And if it were my part, I'd be like, oh, here, let me take 12 minutes and set up the Apple TV for karaoke, do it from your phone.
But, you know, kids are doing on their own.
Why do they, they don't need me.
No, you're just letting, you're letting the species evolve at its own rate.
That's exactly what you're supposed to do.
Exactly, exactly.
I don't need to get involved.
That's, that's great, though.
No, no mishaps, no spillage, nobody barfed or anything.
It's all good.
I did.
Oh, yeah, that's the other thing.
I was starting to go down the, you know, ciders and boulart and everything.
That gave me the confidence to do what I'd seen at a bunch of hibachi stick places,
which is to try and make.
make the onion volcano.
You know, how they stack the layers of onion and then have fire coming out of the top.
So I stack the onions.
Big fan of those.
Me too.
We were done.
I was just about done cooking.
I think I'd cook the last burger.
And I'm like, hey, should we do the onion volcano?
I'm like, yeah.
So I stacked up the pieces of onion.
I put a little tequila in there.
And then I grabbed a bick lighter, a short one.
And then I lit it.
And flames came out of the.
top of that volcano also around the bottom of the onions where uh where tequila was coming out um
at one point i guess i could share a photo a photo oh my gosh dude should i share that i should
share the photo of like oh this is cool this is what those onion volcanoes are supposed to look like
um what we wanted what we got basically yes exactly here's so if this hopefully doesn't come in
as an H-E-I-C.
Oh, it didn't.
Good.
So in the red under Katie Perry.
Yeah, it converts it to W-R-P, which this works fine.
Okay, so here you go.
There's the little...
There's the onion volcano.
Yeah, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
That's the ideal.
Like, that's the best shot of it.
Here's...
Here's...
Very also captured this photo during the process.
All right.
Let's see what we got.
Oh, God.
okay chat here you go yeah a little bit of a difference there in that second shot of the onion volcano
that's where the that was just a quick like where the um the fire came out it's great that he caught
it right when that happened some good photography on barry's part exactly so uh i had that little
cover right there there's the cover behind it i just stepped around to the back lifted the cover
put it over and and at that point there was just the flame coming out of the top of it so it's
perfect i love that it's a cover
coverville uncovering the thing or covering it covered covering it to put out the fire so that's fantastic is this
your foot am i seeing your foot that is you're seeing my foot you guys want to see brian's foot come on now
why do you want to see my i don't know let's just see it there it is that's the foot of somebody who's
crunching a little bit to go oh shit i got to cover that up with it you're like oh yeah it's like

had a good time. Grats to the couple and I hope
they had fun. Sounds like they did.
All their friends had fun. That's all that matters, you know?
Yeah, exactly. It was a good time.
Nice. Well, let's have another good time.
This kind of time.
All right, we're going to play a little
bit of a game and involves
this guy. His name is Brian Donneway and he joins
us now. Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott and Brian.
Hey, man. What are you doing?
Hello.
Yeah, you know, just enjoying the almost
cooler weather. My
significant other wheels out yesterday
looking at fall things
for the house. And
I guess she was in a headspace because
we was pulling out. I let all the windows down
because it's still freaking hot as crap here.
And so we was pulling out of the parking lot.
She's like, she closed her eyes and says,
oh, I just, I love how
September feels or how fall feels.
And I'm like, dude, it's still summer.
You know, what you're feeling right now is all in your
head. That's in your head.
It's a little jumping the gun to
to start, you know, talking about fall.
I mean, we're close and it's just starting to cool off.
Yeah, we're getting excited.
Everybody's excited for it.
We're a little bit done with the heat, but I get it.
I get where she's at.
I'm feeling the same way.
Just like yesterday.
We got some rain yesterday very briefly for about a half an hour.
And it was just like the most glorious thing I'd ever seen.
I couldn't believe it.
It was like, rain in August.
It was so good.
And the dogs hated it.
It was perfect.
So, you know, I can't wait for it.
Can't wait for fall.
Any time I can see the dogs be miserable, it breaks perfect.
If you can piss them off, you're doing it right somehow.
I don't know why I turned into Mr. Muku.
I don't know either, but it's fine.
You may not be able to read instructions or whatever his deal was.
Anyway, speaking of instructions, we're going to let Brian tell those instructions.
That way you don't have to read them.
And he'll tell us how this game works, who's up for when and what and how this works, Brian, take it away.
Yeah, absolutely.
And make sure you write this down, folks.
I don't want to have to repeat this.
Welcome to the Morning Half As is a trivia game where I'm going to be giving Scott and Brian the answers.
I'm going to give them a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct and three, like setting fire to your Blackstone griddle are incorrect.
Depending on how confident they feel with a category, they can provide one, two, or three guesses.
But if they get any of those guesses wrong, they get zero points for that round.
If you guess one and get it right, you get a point.
If you guess two and you get it both right, you get three points.
And if you guess all three correctly, you get five points for that round.
We're going to add up the points after all three rounds.
And the player with the most points wins a prize for their contestant.
Contestants have been pulled from members of the Tadpool, Patreon that have not, we're unable to be here alive.
Scott, you're playing for Tomas Bro.
And Brian, you're playing for Brian Clark.
Brian playing for Brian.
Yeah, I knew of Brian Clark growing up.
Did you now?
Also, Thomas, Tomas, Bro is the only guy would ever want to call bro.
I like that.
Yeah, there you go.
He's a true bro.
Yeah.
He's what he is.
He just deleted him.
Don't delete him.
He's back now.
Come and Z.
All right.
Yeah.
Let's get to today's questions.
Number one, we're going to start off with music.
We all like that.
We all like Kanye West, I think, maybe.
I don't know if we do.
He liked his music.
Yeah, well, this just happens to be his music.
Which of these words are in the lyrics to his song Stronger?
your choices are
but freaking
drink
weak wronger and Christian
three of these words
can be found in lyrics of stronger
I don't know if what's in there
but boy I sure want it to be
put it in the butt
put it in the butt
yep
put a no what's the
who was the Eddie Murphy song
I got it
yeah I got a tree
put me in your butt
yeah good stuff
put a bubble B in your butt
a real high mark of our 80s
childhood, really, our teen
years. It's fantastic stuff.
Boogie in your butt, put, put a boogie in your butt.
I'm going to say that
that looks dumb enough that it's in there. I'm going
two. Okay. Scott's
lucked in with two. Brian's locked in with two.
And I'll tell you right now,
between the two of you,
you have selected all three correct answers.
But you've all chosen
four different answers, which means
one of you is getting points and one of you
is going home. Oh, I guess
I'm going home. Damn it.
Well, let's go with Brian.
I've had a run of bad luck lately, so let's just see what happens.
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
Brian chose the word Christian.
Mm-hmm.
That is in the lyrics of the song, Stronger.
He likes talking about it.
He does.
He won't shut up about it.
Yeah.
Scott chose the word wronger, which, because it rhymes with Stranger, feels like it should be in there.
Gotta be.
And it is.
Okay.
I should have thought of that.
Yeah.
Your two remaining ones are.
are drink and weak.
Weak being the opposite of stronger.
Right, right.
That was my, that was what I went with.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's probably wrong.
I'm scared.
I tried to reason out, genius.
Sure, sure.
One of them's right.
One of them's wrong.
And it is Scott is the right one with drink.
Drink and wronger.
That's right.
Drink wronger.
And what was the other one that was right?
Christian.
Christian is the other one.
That one felt like,
the Christian one felt like bait to me because I know it's,
he does a lot of.
back and forth religious eat kind of stuff and then some of it's ironic some of it seems
contrary to his behavior like i mean he was you know he was yees for a while i mean still
technically i don't know if he is still ye or whatever he's still ye or yay i guess are we supposed
to pronounce that yay because it's conier i am not supposed to do i i refuse i'm not going to do any
of it whatever it is i don't want to be right about any of it yeah i'm just going to shut up
he can eat a poo enough um you know speaking of food that's wronger
Speaking of words in the English language.
Question number two, English words that originated in India,
which of these words came to us from India?
Your choices are, tiger, tweed, zither, bandana, cheetah, and swastika.
Three of those came from India.
Oh, man, that swastika one's really burning a hole down there.
Let's see.
I know.
And I can't stop thinking about tiger tweet.
Once I heard it together, I can't
I can't stop doing it.
Isn't Tiger Tweed married to Gene Simmons?
I can't remember.
Oh, I think they gave up on each other a long time ago.
Did they all?
Actually, I don't know. Maybe they are.
Maybe they stuck it out.
I don't know what they're doing those two.
Okay, well.
All right, Brian's locked in.
Is he now?
Shit.
Hey, talking too much.
Put that timer on there, Ibit.
I'm going to do the safe thing.
All right.
Are you doing the safe thing?
What's safe?
with one choice
and Brian with two choices
Brian chose
Tiger and Zither
Scott chose
Cheetah
Yeah
Isn't he a tiger
And it's all down the right side
Wes is right
Bandana, Cheetah
Hang it
Bandana comes from the Indian word for
Tutai or Hindi word for
Tutai
Cheetah is Sanskrit for multicolored
And swastika is Sanskrit for
auspicious
Oh
And that's before everyone ruined it
I've got the yips.
Yeah, dicks.
I've got the yips.
I can't freaking out because I keep, I keep, yeah, I failed the last couple of times.
I'm starting to feel like.
Yeah.
What are the, yes.
Is that a thing?
What's a yip?
The yips.
Yeah, I've never heard that before.
It's like, almost like a, you're overthinking it.
Overthinking yourself, you know, uh, nervousness on, on follow up.
Something you normally do with the ease and you're just overthinking it.
I like it.
You got a case of the yips.
I like that.
That sounds like one of those 1800s maladies.
I got old Bill up the road.
He's got a case of the yips, says the doc.
Anyway.
All right.
Question number three.
And I want no contributions from the audience on this one because there's one person in particular who would face this question.
You look at the chat room?
I'm not.
I don't look at that.
I only look at chat when Brian says it's one of those games where we can.
Exactly.
Like usually, you know, with a feud, you can look at chat because they don't know what most people chose.
Yeah, they don't know.
No.
You don't hear that chat.
You don't know.
Characters from Fraggle Rock.
Yes.
Which of these six?
Oh, by the way.
Let me see if Amy's online.
Hold on second.
Yeah.
She is.
She is.
Scott going into this final round, by the way, with four points.
Brian with zero.
So a perfect score from Brian would, uh, would nail this.
Yeah.
All right.
Your Fraggle Rock characters to choose from our...
Jemmy...
All right, I'm putting the timer on just for Brian.
I'm just going to slow me down.
Ask Chuck and Amy, no big deal.
Yeah, no big deal.
All right.
Your choices are, Dimmie, Dr. Galeo, Tudor, Moki, Boober, and Gobo.
Oh, my Lord.
Brian needs all three to win us on.
Dang, you don't tell me that.
You better not make any choices.
I only know one
So I'm going to be safe
Okay
I'm gonna choose it
And that's all I know
Wait I'm not ready yet
I'm not ready I'm still thinking
Uber
Uber tuber timer incoming
Don't you put that timer up
I'll kick your ass
That was the most king of the hill
As kickin talk I've ever heard
That was right
Oh geez there
I'm totally going to get all three of them wrong
Oh my gosh
Okay Brian
What
Did go all three
Yeah
And got all three
All three absolutely incorrect.
Is that the second?
See, I thought there was no way.
I'm like, you've already done all down the right side.
No way you would do that again?
No way would I do that again?
That's funny, dude.
So I was mixed, the son of them.
Well, you got the yips.
What are you going to do when you got the yips?
Now, does anybody know what those on the left side?
They do all come from the same source.
Demi Tudor and Mr. Galeo, or Dr. Galeo.
Teter.
I really don't know.
Thanks a lot.
I have no idea.
They are snorps.
Snorps?
Snorke and Amy.
I remember that bad cartoon.
Oh, is it the snorks?
That's why I was thinking of it.
I love the snorks.
Yeah, of course you do.
You freaking would have sex with the snorks if they'd let you.
Well, that's because they got little tubers on the top of them.
Of course you could.
Gross.
That's true.
Yeah.
I got little tubers up there.
Yeah.
Why couldn't it have been what?
Why couldn't it have been?
to snores question.
Exactly. I feel real good
about this. I feel good about my win.
You should. Yes, Scott, you did get
Boobber correctly. Correct.
And that's, I mean, if once you hear Boobber,
you don't forget Boobber. No.
Congratulations to Scott and
by proxy.
Congratulations to Tomas Bro.
This bro is going home with a copy
of Railway Empire
and a crap ton of
DLC for it. The Great
Britain and Ireland add-on
crossing the Andes, the Great Lakes, and Mexico add-ons.
So, a railway empire and all of the DLC.
Yeah, I think that's all the DLC.
And that is an amazing, if you're into, like, I want to maximize efficiency
and automate stuff and do it in this old school railroad way.
Yeah, it sounds like a game.
Oh, I love games like this.
In my mind, you are the true winner unless you hate that stuff.
Yeah, for sure.
But Brian Clark, you're not going away empty-handed.
You're getting a copy of Venba.
I don't know anything about Venba, but
It's a failed payment system.
Venmoe ended up beating him, so.
No, I don't know what Vemba is.
That's one that that one's not ringing a bell.
The enemy from Stranger Things is a game, apparently.
There you go.
Fun.
Well, Brian Dunaway, you got whooped.
And that's okay because that doesn't mean you're out.
It just means that this means tomorrow you and I are going to put our heads together
and talk about all things old S&N.
K games. Tell the fine folks what we're covering
on. Oh, yes. We're going
to play some metal
slug, one of Scott's favorite, and
one that I've played, but I never played
the original Neo-Geo versions
at the arcade or at home.
And man, have I had
my pants blown off?
This stuff is look at the graphics. Oh, my gosh,
pixel graphics as in K

Stephen, welcome to the show.
Hello, Scott.
Good morning, Brian.
We've missed you terribly, truly.
Oh, that's so nice of you to say.
Yeah, we always like having you on one of my favorite guests on the show.
And it's a chance for us to, I don't know, go a little deep sometimes.
Sometimes it's just like, hey, I'll hear that Marvel and DC are going to have a blood feud and fight to the death and then, or whatever.
but then sometimes it's just like cool stuff
and today is one of those cool stuff
discussions
so we're going to talk about the best comic books involving time travel
now keep in mind Brian Nibbid over here
bit of a time travel
not purist you're just
I wouldn't even say snob you're just
you have certain expectations
and if they're broken you you'll say
it's it's like
I'm a time travel
I mean basically
yeah but it's not like I don't like
back to the future I love back to the future
It breaks some of my rules.
Okay. Let me ask you, because...
Yes.
Where do you stand on Happy Death Day?
Oh, yeah.
Is it the worst movie ever as far as time travel goes?
That's the cupcake.
It's a brilliant idea.
No, it's a stupid idea.
Stop it, people.
Why can't even think what it is?
It's Groundhog Day with a slasher.
This woman, a college student, wakes up, and every day, basically she's going to get murdered by this slasher.
If she can, if, but she has, she repeats the whole day.
over and over until she can figure out
who's behind the mask.
It's like a goofy baby mask.
Oh, here it is.
Okay.
It's kind of a Blumhouse comedy slasher kind of thing.
It's got that kind of sense of humor that the slasher stuff does.
I'd say the first one is far better than the second one.
The Happy Death Day 2 was rough.
Yeah, I've seen either of these.
2017 looks like.
Yeah.
Samara wee.
Is that, no, not Samar waving.
She was ready or not.
Jessica Rother, Roth.
I don't know her very well
She's in that show
My wife liked the Pulse
Thing and then that got cancelled
All her worst shows get cancelled
They're all bad
Anyway
But the sequel becomes self-aware
It becomes aware that it's a movie sequel
And does kind of like what Gremlins too did with Gremlin
How it broke the fourth wall
Of being a movie kind of thing
Yeah I did
Sometimes that works
Sometimes it does not
Yeah
Well there you go then
Stephen let's get into
Yeah so I am
I am a snob just like Brian is.
So, anyway.
Well, let's see how snobby we get about these titles.
I like time travel and I like comic books.
So do you guys want to start at number one and go to number five?
Or do you want to start at five and go to one?
Would you the countdown?
Let's count down from five.
I agree.
So the first one is called assorted crisis events.
This is by Dennis Camp and Eric Zawadski.
This is where time has basically had a crisis and everything is happening all at once.
You could be walking down the street.
and there's a caveman from prehistoric times.
There's a spaceship flying through the scene.
There's somebody that's just standing there because they're trapped in a time loop.
And it's kind of like the outer limits in the time zone where you follow these different people
in how they are also just kind of having a breakdown as time breaks down.
Because how do you deal with waking up in the morning going outside and there's a war going on
only to find out it's a movie set.
But then later when you come home, there's a war going on and you think it's a movie
set, but it's actually a war that's going on because a time slip is happening at the same time.
It's kind of interesting.
Yeah.
There's a series, they're all a series of one shots.
So it's not like you're going in following one character through the series.
It's like, oh, we're following this woman because she just doesn't like to go out of her house anymore.
Then we're following this couple as they're trying to reunite.
So it's worth checking out.
It's my number five.
It just came out this year.
And so it's hot off the presses.
So the volume one paperback is only three bucks on the Kindle Comicsology app.
If you're still doing your comics digitally through their platform, that's not bad.
Also note the release date is not until the end of next month.
Yeah, I was going to say.
We got a way to wait a way.
Like I said, it's a brand new series.
Hot off the digital press.
Those atoms are still warm.
This sounds great.
I'm in.
All right.
So that's one kind of time travel that we can have where time is happening around you all of the
Number four is one of my favorites. You can read it absolutely free or you can go and buy the hardcover collections. It's Atomic Robo and the Knights of the Golden Circle by Brian Clevenger and Scott Wegner. So Atomic Robo is a automaton that was created by Nikola Tesla way back in the day and he's had all sorts of crazy. Imagine a robot, but he's Buckaroo bonsai and has lived since the 1920s through today. Well, at one point in the Knights of the Golden Circle,
into the previous volume, he has blown, blown up and finds himself back in time.
And he has to figure out a way to save himself and get back to his present before his battery runs out.
And the way he does it is relatively clever.
And let's just say, it doesn't happen, but it is addressed.
How can atomic robo be alive twice at the same time?
and if you like clever the multi yeah like where you've got multiple instances of the same kind
of character the Ron Silver and time cop kind of thing you just hope they don't go uh you just hope
they don't go full um like looper that style of their it's no it's not it's not quite that it's
not that quite but it's very clever and very well done and if you are into a comic book and
it's really a webcomic hyphen robo.com i believe is the website that you can go and read these for
free. If you are a fan of history, Brian Clevenger does an in-depth research on the entire time
period in which he's writing and the characters in which he's writing. Atomic Robo is so great.
He has an ongoing feud with Virgin Galactic guy, Sir Richard Branson. He also has an ongoing
conflict with Stephen Hawking when Stephen Hawking was alive at one point. Robo gets launched to the
moon and he writes something
very nasty about Stephen Hawking on the moon
that everybody can see.
That's awesome.
Is it still,
so back in the day when this first started,
there was a lot of controversy that this was just a straight
lift, rip off of the Hellboy comics and then...
Kind of, yes, but no.
In that, in the very first volume, they're punching
Nazis, and sometimes they have to deal
with monsters from outer space.
But it goes in a lot of different
directions. If you're a fan of Kaiju,
there's an ongoing Kaiju threat that
threatens the world in Atomic Robo.
it's uh it's good times it's clearly got staying power because obviously it's still around and
still kicking and they just concluded their most recent Kickstarter uh like last week and i just got
the kick starter today these guys are these guys are on the ball the reviews are real good people
are saying return to farm uh one of the best ever blah blah blah people really into it so that's good
to hear i know you've been a bit a long time fan of the series so i'm glad it's on oh yeah yeah i could
not put it on could not not put it on my list nice so number three maybe a little bit
controversial considering the author is Mark
Miller, Mark Miller, it's
chrononauts with Miller
and Sean Gordon Murphy.
This is one where there's an actual time
machine that exists
and it's two kind of nerdy
scientist guys, but when one of them
goes back in time, the day after
his wife breaks up with him,
he decides, eh, screw it.
I'm going to do whatever I want and spins
eternity just going and
becoming ruler of Egypt,
becoming the ruler of the
Jesus, the Ming Dynasty.
And then his friend catches up with him and he's like, heck yeah, let's go to the future and bring back tanks and then go blow up some dinosaurs.
And it gets a little out of control, especially when two scientists, educators, realize that maybe there's a little bit more to this than we thought.
So if you're familiar with a Mark Miller joint, if you're familiar with what's the spy comic that Miller did that turned in those two, the Kingsmen.
If you're familiar with the Kingsman,
it's that kind of humor,
that kind of sensibility in it.
He's not for everyone,
but he is for, he is,
oh yeah, yeah.
He's for me, the comics, the comics,
I really like it.
I loved the authority.
I think he also had a great run.
Didn't he, wasn't it him and Frank Quietly
on the X-Men for a little bit,
or was it just?
No, I think you're thinking, Grant Morrison.
Grant Morrison and Quietly.
Yes, right, okay, but the authority was,
Yeah, Miller did the ultimate, the Ultimates stuff that a lot of people didn't like, you know, where the whole was like, yeah, I wasn't a fan of the Ultimax, man.
Yeah, and some of the stuff that's in Kingsman people don't like, but I mean, take him or leaving.
Sometimes he does some really great stuff and then sometimes, like, wanted, he does a lot of really subversive stuff that people don't care for.
But Corona-Ox is kind of right there in the middle.
Yeah.
He's also not afraid to just wipe out half a team in a story just, you know, just to surprise everybody that he's doing it in a very,
violent way.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean,
don't forget,
you know,
Kickass was his,
and that was a pretty
subversive comic at the time
and movie after.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No word on,
you know,
at one point Miller World
was bought out by Netflix,
but I don't think
that this is going to be
turned into any kind of TV series
because I think he's reacquired
Miller World and is now
doing everything through
Dark Horse comics, I want to say.
So, okay.
Yeah, it says here,
Miller, oh,
it says image.
Maybe it's not image.
Oh, maybe,
no, I'm sorry,
maybe it is back at image so i can't tell but he keeps going back and forth he's got stuff with
image and now he's doing his last let's see everything from 24 24 through now which is about
seven things they're all dark horse so maybe he flipped back yeah yeah i think they moved everything
over there okay interesting all right so so number two is one that we have talked about before
it's paper girls by brian vaughn and cliff chang this was turned into a netflix series uh the
netflix series i do not think is as good as the comic book but this is a story about
12-year-old newspaper delivery girls who in the 1980s get invaded by aliens, question mark,
and they find themselves bouncing back and forth through time.
And while the time travel aspect is neat, they are always encountering different versions
of themselves and having to deal with their future selves trauma and how that future trauma
is really the trauma that they are
being presented with as young
girls and how do they deal
with that? Yeah, you can't
find a Brian K. Vaughn's story that I didn't
absolutely love and this is one of those
like he's just so damn good.
Honestly,
name something Vaughn did that sucks.
You really can't do it.
I mean, I think his most popular one is
the, now I forgot it.
Saga. Saga. Yeah. Saga.
Saga is amazing.
East of West is one of my favorite things ever.
why the last man
is just an all-timer
gosh dang it he's good
freaking rules
now if you want a little bit more
on the time travel
there are two different
time travel organizations
that are having a war
that these four girls
are caught up in
so if you're into the time travel
aspect just for
time travel shenanigans
uh paper girls has it
nice
nice
all right we are now
we're at number one
oh we're at number one
I'm scared
definitely ready for number one
yeah number one is probably
the one that most
people think about when they think of time travel and comic books, although unlike
Happy Death Day, where it's a cupcake, uh-huh.
Kitty Pride projects her mind back in time.
And old Kitty Pride swaps places with young Kitty Pride in X-Men, days of future past,
where the Sentinels have basically taken over the United States.
X-Men are being rounded up into, uh, into, uh, concentration camps or internment camps.
and we've got to set time right.
Now, many people think that X-Men Days of Future Past
is this big, long, sprawling epic.
It's two issues of comics.
Yeah, it was two.
It was 48 pages of comics.
Oh, my gosh.
It was such a short little, like, yeah, like you said,
but he gave us one of the most iconic covers in comic books
with that one Scott just showed with the,
um, uh, Wolverine and Kitty Pride standing in front of the,
all the, uh, X-Men.
Because the first thing you do is start looking at that cover and going,
oh my God, who's been killed?
been captured. Yeah. Look at this. Iceman and Angel. Slane. Like, come on now. Slane. Yeah,
I forgive my ignorance. The movie is based on this or no? Lusely. I mean, yeah, loosely.
I think they did two versions, too, because there's the rogue cut where rogue is the one that they send back in time mentally.
Well, no, she has a prominent, she has, she's the one that has the prominent role in sending Wolverine back.
Wolverine, that's right. Wolverines. Okay. Yeah.
because it is Wolverine that is a theatrical cut.
Rogue is cut completely out of the movie,
which is amazing if you want to compare editing
and how editing can really change a story.
Sorry, Anna Pac-win.
Yeah, what happened there?
I forgot about that.
It was, yeah, Wolverine that went back
because you had to have your huge acumen in both timelines
because he never, he doesn't look different.
So it's not like you have to have a young version
and an old version of Wolverine for that.
Now that's all coming back to me.
I'll be honest, I really like days of future past,
but then I always,
I felt like I kind of forgot it real quick.
You know, it's because you had the great cast, the Fast Bender, and Mick, who was Professor X?
Oh, that's the guy that's a freak in the Shyamalan movie.
Yes, right, right, split.
He's in Wanted, funny enough.
We were just talking about Wanted.
Can't think his name?
It's really, it is one of the better.
Maccavoie. Maccoy.
McAvoy, thank you.
Yeah.
I like him.
I like him a lot.
It's not Stewart.
You know, it's the last good one before they just shot a load in their pants with
Dark Phoenix, Apocalypse, and, uh, camera dolls.
Why is it a shot?
Why did they shoot a load?
Their pants?
Because it was such a, those, those things were such crap.
Oh, they're terrible.
I've just never heard that description before.
It was a different load.
It was.
Yeah.
Three loads or four loads.
You couldn't even keep track of how many bad loads there were.
Yeah.
So I had to see what they do, though, future.
Just speaking of the days of future past, we're going to find out.
You can sometimes pick up Days of Future past in a single two issue volume,
but most of the time you're going to have to track down an uncanny X-Men collection for this.
This would be Uncanny X-Men 141 and 142, although you mentioned Kindle earlier, Scott.
You can get these issues individually on the Kindle app or on the Marvel app on one of the various Marvel apps that are out there.
Nice.
I'm actually kind of want to read that one because I never have.
I just always heard of it.
It's so crazy and short that you blink and you're like, that's it.
Yeah.
It's about that.
I'm getting that itch right now to sub back up to either the Marvel or the DC or both those apps
and just do some catch up on stuff that was like six months ago.
I was like, oh, I can't wait until these are out.
Well, now they're on there.
And I should just go do it.
I think I might.
I might do that today.
I'm in the mood.
Do it.
It's your fault.
Hey, there's more cool stuff like this discussion happening at major spoilers.com all the time.
Is there anything you'd like to mention this week?
Well, if you enjoyed this countdown, we do have a podcast called Top 5,
where every other week we count down five whatevers that they may be.
The last couple of episodes have been movie related.
Sometimes they're comics, sometimes their history, sometimes they're music.
It's always a good time.
You never know what the team is going to pick on the Top 5 podcast.
Nice.
Check that out.
And also, I'm feeling a little parched.
Is there anything I should do for that?
Oh, man.
Lots of rain happening here, but regardless, make sure you stay hydrated.
Nice.
we'll see you next time
all right Brian
very good that was great
I love comics man
sometimes I'm just in the mood
right now it's one of the
you know what it is
I as we get closer to fall
those are my comics months
where I just consume comics
I don't know why
I was just a fall thing for me
I read books in the summer
spring and summer I read books
fall and winter I read comics
comics and trade paperbacks
yeah I don't know why
I wonder why that is
it's not like you know certain things
come up that
no i just think habit or something or better releases happen or something i don't know it's just
the yeah something i did when i was a kid and maybe it just stuck i don't know uh all right you
guys it is time for some news brian will now tell us who the news is brought to us by yeah it's brought
to you by daily music headlines uh guess which band is now doing uh quote unquote jokey security
checks on people that they put on their kiss cam um and
even helping a couple get married of either kiss him if you guessed cole play well you're right that
was a pretty easy one uh find out more about this and other stories today on daily music headlines
nice daily music headlines dot com i don't know that couple's doing no one's talking about them anymore
no i don't know hopefully yeah he got i think he's no longer ceo you're right he resigned
he resigned he was he was kind of asked to resign but he resigned yeah and then the other the lady said
he's an ass
I'm moving on or something
and then that's it
and we all got to witness it
what a fun time to live
Cambridge Dictionary
has added new words
like they do every year
to their dictionary
these always tick me off
they always piss me off too
there are 6,000 new words
and what's funny is
no one ever pays attention
to most of the boring ones
but we're going to pay attention
to two of the most annoying ones
number one
skibbitty
yeah that's right
Skibbitty toilet
it's made it in there.
Skibbidi and then the word trad wife,
which is short for traditional wife,
which is a very controversial bit of Bing Bong right there.
Anyway, the Skibbidi,
the Skibbidi pronounced Skibbidi,
just like I said it,
is one of the slang terms popularized by social media
and among 6,000 other editions
to the Cambridge Dictionary.
Here's what they see.
said, Colin McIntosh, McIntosh, McTosh, McTosh.
I used to have a Colin McIntosh.
Yeah, that wasn't our best.
Then I got my phone, so I didn't need a Colin McIntosh.
It was during, Colin on my phone.
It was during the crappy CEO's time.
Yeah, police it is.
Who's the guy?
Who's the Pepsi guy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the interim dude.
Pepsi guy that made the handheld the Newton.
Yes.
And it failed.
Shoot.
I got any of his name.
I just remember Jobs hated his guts.
Schumacher.
No, I can't remember what it was.
John Anilio.
Is that it?
No, there was somebody else.
It wasn't, yeah, Scully.
Mike Scully.
Mike Scully, that's it.
Yes.
Because he had the power performers or whatever.
Like, he did the power computing.
They're all beige and shitty.
Yes.
They were trying to be PCs.
I hated those things.
Right.
Ugly time.
Well, anyway, this guy who has nothing to do with him,
he's a lexical programmer manager over at Cambridge Dictionary,
the world's largest online dictionary.
Skibbitty is a gibberish term coined by the creator of the animated YouTube series
and can mean cool or bad or be used for no meaning at all just like as a joke.
If you're,
see,
this is where this stuff breaks down.
Yeah.
If you,
um,
if your word could mean cool or bad.
or nothing it should not be added to the dictionary yeah i'm trying to think let's think of a regular
word i guess the word bad can be used as dude that's totally badass but i don't know if i guess it puts
in their slang right like bad they give you the the real definition yeah and probably cambridge
says slang to mean good um but but but it never means nothing right exactly so if you say
something means nothing i think you've locked into that not shouldn't be in there right
or could be or be used with no real meaning as a joke.
I think it's just...
Yeah, and this is the part I don't get.
Where's the joke?
This isn't like Aloha, where it means hello and goodbye and all these...
Yeah, by the way, this is not just two old guys talking about a shitty young kid word or Gen Alpha stupid brain rot word.
Some of those can carry through because they have meanings.
This is like, eh, can mean that, can mean this, could be nothing.
Could be a joke.
Or could be, or could just be used to mean nothing as a joke.
What does that even mean?
Yeah, you don't know.
I don't walk in a room and go, there's like a 20 people in a room walking and go, skibbitty.
Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Good one, good one, Scott.
Good joke.
Yeah, well done.
Anyway, off that.
Yeah, the other one to see.
Other planned additions include trad wife, a contraction of traditional wife referred to,
or referring to a married mother who cooks, cleans, and posts on social media.
I didn't know that last part.
posts on social media that seems so it seems so specific like all right a traditional wife like
doing all of the the susy homemaker kind of stereotypes of the 50s kind of thing yeah but oh and also
posts on social media which doesn't seem very traditional to me i mean Tina has a job but she also
cooks cleans and posts on social media yeah it's so bizarre it's a weird one i don't plus that one
gets thrown around in lots of mean
conversations. It totally does.
I don't like it. The tread life.
I don't like any of that stuff. Some of these things
are so online. It's like
yeah. The other day
so I've been I've been banging
my head against the wall on this stupid
cracker barrel ad thing.
Oh sure. And my beef with it
is less about any of
the machinations as to why they're changing it
or who's saying it's woke
trash the new load. It's like
why? I don't want to even get into that. Forget about all that
stuff. What I, what I'm
bugged about
is this idea
that
now I forgot.
As, um, the, the uproar over
oh, how online it is.
So it's the kind of thing where you go, I can't believe,
whatever you're at on it, right? If you say the things you say
online about it and then say them in person somewhere
out in the, out in the wild, you'll sound like a crazy person.
You totally will. Yes. And that's how you know when
stuff is so online versus real life. It just is pointless. That's a really good, that's a really
good way to phrase it. If you would go out into a crowd and say this and come off looking like a
moron or a crazy person, then you probably shouldn't do it online either. Yeah. Or it's just a great
litmus test to say if I'm going to have this argument here, let me just at least think about it
outside of it and realize how stupid it is. Maybe that will curb what I do here. Yes, agreed.
So if anything, I've actually, it sort of taught me something this week.
I feel like I've learned something about a thing that's always existed,
which is some of these conversations just are ridiculous offline.
They're ridiculous.
The things that politicians say on their Twitter accounts versus what they would say in real life
couldn't be more different.
Why?
Because it doesn't effing work.
It's online only.
We're so weird people.
Yes.
We're effed.
Do you think Trump goes around the White House saying,
thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yeah, exactly. Probably not.
Probably not.
Yeah.
He shouldn't post anything, really.
He shouldn't, but that's part of the disconnect, too.
There are a lot of people, again, let's take this from a very neutral standpoint.
There are a lot of people to support him that don't know he's saying this stuff online
because it's a separate world and only people freak out over here because they don't know it over here.
It's not being reported out here.
so that's why it's so infuriating sometimes you're like what who is this man baby but then outside of this
I'll talk to a perfectly normal friend who just happens to be a conservative his whole life he's like
well yeah I know he can be a little caustic in his speeches and I go yeah but did you see the thing
he wrote oh I don't have a I don't have an ex account I don't know uh yeah well okay well then
what are we doing yeah right we're so dumb to keep these separate like this so dumb
anyway moving on walmart let's talk about wall walmart they changed their logo uh you know to
that asterisk thing a few years ago and did they get a bunch of hate craze for it no because people
hadn't yeah again it's just so it's so online it's so dumb believe yeah right like that cracker barrel
logo is ugly if you're asking for my actual aesthetic take on the new logo it's ugly guess what else was
ugly. The old one.
I think, I think
comparatively, the new one is
head and shoulders better than the previous
one. The previous one
felt like, but here's the thing.
The previous one felt like
the
vibe of that store.
Like, we don't
know what we're doing from a, from a
standpoint of make this look nice.
Yeah. Yeah. And I
get the idea of seeing that and going, oh,
that's kind of a shame. Anyway, move on
your life it's so stupid it's cracker barrel most of the people yelling about it haven't been to one ever
or haven't in a decade it's so dumb yeah yeah i've you the least eaten in one in the last year when we went to
uh um we went to kansas city earlier this summer well yeah well that wasn't a long ago
nephew's graduation yeah we hated a cracker barrel i don't mind a cracker barrel just don't
there's not the opportunity utah doesn't have a lot of
I think we've got, there's one out by the airport.
I don't know any others.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Let's see.
This final story about Walmart here.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Sorry.
Oh, no, you're good.
Walmart recalls possibly radioactive shrimp after public warned not to eat it.
No, I wanted to say.
But if you eat them, you might get the powers of shrimp man.
Shrimp man.
What are his powers, Brian?
We haven't done that in a while.
Able to flick his tail and scoot away quickly, but that's pretty much it.
Not a great power, it turns out.
No.
Able to be part of a seven-minute joke in the film, Forrest Gump.
There you go.
And that is a long joke, isn't it?
It is a long joke, yeah.
It's Bubba.
It kind of works because that guy's great.
I love that actor.
He is great, yeah.
He was really good unjustified.
Scary guy.
Anyway, Walmart has recalled some of, oh, I want to say something by the headline real quick.
Walmart recalls possibly radioactive shrimp.
There's a weird way of saying that, you know?
Possibly radioactive.
Wouldn't be just, you know.
Walmart recalls suspected radioactive.
I just think possibly is.
Yeah, that would be better the word suspected radioactive shrimp.
Yeah, it's a little weird.
But anyway, Walmart has recalled these shrimp products in the U.S.
after radioactive material was detected in a shipment of the seafood.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the FDA?
FDA!
I like to say.
Warned the public, not deep frozen shrimp, sold under Walmart's great value label.
as it could have been exposed to dangerous isotopes in these shipping containers.
Good Lord.
One sample of bread to shrimp taste, tasted, tested positive for the substance, said the FDA, but the positive sample, quote, did not enter U.S. commerce.
Consumers in 13 states where the shrimp products were sold have been advised to throw away any recently bought.
Anything they bought recently among three batches, quote, the health and safety of our customers is always a top priority, says a Walmart spokesperson.
Like, what else are they going to say?
yeah right exactly we hope you guys eat our shrimp anyway i mean no they're going to say we're worried about you
that's what we do yes of course yes by the way we have hopes and prayers that you didn't buy the
or eat the shrimp immediately upon getting home that's right and they're less expensive than targets
hopes and prayers so come get some today we've issued a sales restriction and removed the product
from our impacted stores we're working with the supplier to investigate the spokesperson
out of the consumers who bought the recalled products could visit any walmart location for a full
refund. So don't
eat
contaminated shrimp. Don't eat the green
glowing shrimp. Don't think I've ever bought shrimp at a
