Starting point is 00:00:20 because of how happy crowdfunding creative projects makes them feel. It's a weird sentence. I must have written it. We agree. And we think you should fly over to patreon.com slash TMS and be like a bird. Coming up on the morning stream, double fisting corn dogs.
Starting point is 00:00:34 New week. Who this? D.S.M.R. I don't like EMPs. Boar Cobra Bread Badger. Fancy Glasses card deck. They earned the D. Maintaining your to-do list.

President of Chess Club and voted most likely to become a serial killer. Jack Black could eat no snack and his wife could eat no cream. Doing it in the doubler. Letting Sleeping Dogs Lie with Nicole and more on this
Starting point is 00:01:05 episode of The Morning Stream. I can take you out behind the woodshed and we could bash it around for a while. I could have told you that without paying a $200 a day. He's also had his nose fixed. Yeah, man, shut up. Go play donkey comb. The morning.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. Hello everybody and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Monday, September 15th, 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Ibitt. Good morning, Brian. Hello.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Brand new week. new week. Yeah, I'm going to, you know, as we take the wrapping off this week, I'm going to do, I'm going to try really hard to make this just a really product. I woke up this morning with real ideas about productivity this week, you know? Do you ever do that? You're like, all right, it's Monday. I'm going to tackle all the shit on my list that I have been putting off or it hard.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Yeah, just get it now. If I do emails, I'm going to do that touch once and never look at again thing where you do it. Yes. And then you go and then you do it. As opposed to like, oh, yeah, I'll mark that one as unread and I'll come back to it. Let me do this next one. Oh, okay. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Yeah, and the email app I use tells me how long I've been snoozing an email. Really? Oh, that seems like both beneficial but also like it could be embarrassing. Yeah. There's a couple in there where I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, that says 20 days snoozed. Have I, has that person, does that person even remember that I was doing this for them? You know, so anyway, we're, you know, we're here to kick it off right with a fresh TMS out of the oven. And, you know, people hopefully will enjoy our little banter here today.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I'm excited, too. I think the thing that I've been teasing and I'm pulling my own Johnson on. No, let's rephrase that. The thing that I've been teasing for a while, I think I'll be able to finally talk about this week. Ooh, a reveal. A reveal. What day do you think? You want to, do you want to, um, let's say Thursday.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I feel confident about Thursday, but it's, you know, on my to-do list. You won't know which item it is, but it's one of these items. You just can't tell, but it's on my fancy, fancy to-do list. I love this thing. You know what? It's been going good, eh? It's been going really good. Yeah, I really like, because every once in a while, I'm like, oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:03:41 This is only going to take 10 minutes. I'm sliding these two things down, you know, before this one or after this other one. It's really nice to reorder these. And yes, I know I can do that with an app, but I need something physical. This is an old school app. This is Brian with physical application or whatever.
Starting point is 00:04:02 What are you going to do when the big EMP hits? And you can't use any of your devices? Guess what? I'll still be doing things on my to do with it. That's right. It'll be over there going, all right, work on this website. Oh, the EMP killed it. Okay, move that down.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Okay, let's see. I'll listen to this song. Oh, can't do that because the EMP took out that. All right. I'll do. I don't think about this. The entire, oh my gosh, I never really thought about this. There's a lot of things in life if an EMP hit and it wiped out everything and we had to kind of cave man it.
Starting point is 00:04:31 There's a lot of things like food and other stuff that you could, man. We could do all the analogs, right? We could get it done. Light fire at night, you know, warm, create warmth, all the stuff we'd have to do. It'd be a pain and it'd be awful and it would wreck society. But I'm just saying that, you know, it's possible. but if Brian just simply wants to listen to a two live crew song I don't know why I pulled them out of my butt there they are
Starting point is 00:04:55 if you wanted to do that you can't do it because even if you were like I've got a record player you'd have to have some kind of generator with gas in it but eventually that's going to run out you know so our music without live performing is dead in the MP exactly it would have to be live performing and it's going to have to be fully analog instruments so no electric guitars, no, no, um, lava genies, no, uh, pheromins. It's acoustic everything and you better be close to the stage. No, keytars. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Think of that. So we go from dot MP3s to dot EMPs overnight. That's right. Enjoy. Brian, what did you get up to this last weekend? Something fun. We, yeah, we did this thing called dash. This is the, this was the 12th, I won't call it the 12th annual dash, but it was the 12th dash, because
Starting point is 00:05:45 the pandemic made them stop for five years. Basically, the last one was in 2019. Jeez. And this was the first one that they'd done since then. So dash 11 was 2019. That was the first one we ever did. And we breezed through. Let me, I guess let me talk about what the event is.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Think amazing race. But instead of, you know, all players are on the same flight to Barcelona, you know, having to learn how to do a flamenco dance or something like that, you're solving puzzles at each location. And all of these locations are on the Denver University campus. So you're kind of going about four miles, doing about
Starting point is 00:06:26 four or five miles of walking on Saturday to get from puzzle to puzzle. Here's the cool thing. They don't keep track. They only start the timer when you get the puzzle and they stop the timer when you enter the correct
Starting point is 00:06:42 answer on your device. Okay. So you can meander slowly, you can run, you can do whatever, but one of the people that we were with isn't able to travel as quickly as those young little kids over there, whatever. So, you know, a party travels as quickly as its slowest member, and so we took our time getting from place to place. Sure. In Denver, there were 20 teams across the, around the world, because this is not just in the
Starting point is 00:07:12 U.S. It's Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, UK. Jeez. They do it all over the freaking world. And we came in, for Denver, we came in third
Starting point is 00:07:28 out of 20 teams. Pretty good. Worldwide, we came in 95th out of something like 450 teams. It's pretty good, dude. Pretty good. yeah yeah you know that's that's top 25% roughly so you do a lot worse than that yeah
Starting point is 00:07:49 could have done a lot worse but um here i brought one of the puzzle examples so for one of the puzzles they gave us like a little deck of cards and you can see uh lightwise let's see if i can if i can get a little closer you might be able to see oh yeah there you go a pig and a snake or a Yeah, or a, it's a boar and a cobra. I always think wardhogs and boars are the same, but they're not. Warhugs have the tusks. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I think boars have tusks, too. This one, I think, does have tusks. So, boars and warthogs might be... You might be the same deal. It might be the same thing. So, you know, this card had those two things on it. This other card has bread and a badger. And this next card has a card.
Starting point is 00:08:34 a car and a crab okay all right and so we look at these and figure out well all of these things are one letter apart so on the back of each card we wrote down the letter you know so like uh cobra and bore the the separate letter is a letter c okay the one that's we wrote that on each one the one that separates the two starting letters right no the one that uh like you can if you add the letter C to the letters in bore and rearrange them, you get code. Oh, I get it. If you, if you add the letter B to Carr and rearrange them, you get crab. I get it. Okay. And you guys knew that how quickly? No. We figured that out within seconds. Like we looked at these and said, you know, as soon as you started looking at the photos on the back, we're like, okay, yeah,
Starting point is 00:09:25 these are all one letter apart, these. See, this is why you guys are in the top 100. I'll bet the bottom 300 did not think of It just might have taken them a couple seconds longer. So then once we had all those letters, now on the backs of all these cards, they're not all the same. And you get this weird, like, road-looking thing. But as you start looking through here, you notice, oh, well, that's, you know, that actually looks like it could be the letter Q, like a zoomed-in zebra print letter Q. Or this one right here could be a zoomed-in maybe letter V or Y or something like that. Sure. So we took all those letters and arranged them alphabetically.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Turns out there were 26 of them. And so every letter was represented. But there were some like A, kind of obvious. Yeah, that looks like an A. But then, let's see if I can find it really quick without putting these out of order. Here's one. Is this a letter I? Is it the bottom of a letter T?
Starting point is 00:10:24 Is it, you know, it could be anything. Could be an X wing, like one of the wings of the X? Yep, could be part of an X. So we, but then there was one, okay, that one's a more obvious X or that one's a more obvious T. This one definitely is either an I or a K and, and you can, there are other ways we could figure it out. There was a guidebook that had a couple of the letters in there, so we could look really closely at that and see where the patterns match. That's wild. And once we arrange those alphabetically, all those little letters we penciled in spelled out,
Starting point is 00:10:57 stack cards by Elf's, Alps, A-L-P-H-S, by top image reed side. So then we flip the cards back over. In this case, we sorted by the top image. So bore and then bread and then car and then whatever. Once we did that, we had our little deck. And on the side, oh, shut up. Fancy. It says fancy.
Starting point is 00:11:27 I love it. And then the long edge says glasses. Nice. Wait, what are the references to fancy glasses? This is what the, like, they'll ask a question
Starting point is 00:11:38 and the thing that said, what did, how did the eagle view all of the, the critters from far above? And then the answer was fancy glasses. I love it. I love stuff like that. Really cleverly done.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah. Super cool. Yeah. So that was one. of our nine puzzles. The whole thing altogether, not taking out, not calling it just the time it took for us to do each puzzle, but the entire day, we started at 10 a.m. and we finished about 6.30.
Starting point is 00:12:14 So it was eight and a half hours of the event, an hour of which we went and got food, found a place over by Denver University called two-fisted, what's it called two-fisted? fisted corn dogs. Ooh. Dude. Like, you get corn dogs there. Like, before they battered it, like, cook it fresh every time.
Starting point is 00:12:38 So you say, all right, I want a corn dog that is half beef dog, half mozzarella, and then roll it. Once you've battered dipped it, roll it in potato, like little hash browns, and then deep fry it. Oh, my gosh. And then cover it with kimchi powder or kimchi sauce. It may as well be like a state fair thing. That's crazy. It very much feels like state fair food. And so we found that place and it was like, oh, God, these are so good.
Starting point is 00:13:03 But my God, I feel like I just ate 1,500 calories in one sitting. That's wild. Double-fisted. That's insane. Double-fisted. Yeah. What's it called? I think double-fisted corn dogs, I think.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Yeah. Let's see. That sounds so good. It's so good. There is two-hands corn dog, Korean-style fresh corn dogs. Oh, yeah. We have a place near us like that. They are massive these things.
Starting point is 00:13:26 they're crazy they're way into it why are the koreans so into the corn dog variants it's weird i don't know yeah but they because all the all the flavors and all the toppings and everything you could get were uh uh were uh were korean influenced flavors ask my brother about that's just a weird thing let's see where is the nearest one do they have one and oh they've got these all over the place denver boulder lung mont oh no maybe not 72 locations in Grung, but it really doesn't list the locations. It just says zoom out the map and click the location. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Oh, well, I can do this now. Yeah. Well, look for them, guys. Corn Dogs is as big as your face. Exactly, yes. And not terribly good for you. Oh, yeah, you got one in Salt Lake City. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I may have to check it out. Maybe that's the one I'm thinking of over here. We have one. Yeah. We have one right near us. I wonder if it's the same place. it is uh sandy it's in sandy 90 9298 south south village shop drop oh and all right where that is that's not that far maybe 15 minutes 10 minutes here's the tip just order one you won't need you won't need two of these
Starting point is 00:14:36 think kim and i may split one in fact there you go yeah might be the way to do it well that's awesome well done in your uh your scoring dude that's awesome it's a lot of fun yeah had a whole bunch of weird puzzles I might talk about more of them later on, but like, you know, assembling rings and assembling little structures and taping things together and transparencies and stuff like that. Very cool. Yeah, that's very awesome. I'm jealous of the top 100 because I think I would not be in the top 100.
Starting point is 00:15:05 I wouldn't have figured that that whole letter thing out for way, way after your group did. There was one where, like, we, there's one where we were first in Denver and 22nd in the world, that we got that quickly, like we figured it out, completed the puzzle, 22nd in the country, first in Denver. Then there was another one where we were 275th in the world. Oh, my gosh. That we struggled with for a long time. And that's what kind of brought our average down and probably kept us from being in the top 50. Yeah. Still pretty good, though.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Yeah. That one murdered us. It was a horrible, horrible puzzle. Actually, it was a horrible set of about 12 puzzles that we then had to put together. Oh, well, let's see if we can't get horrible puzzles out of our good friend Brian Dunaway. Let's see, yes. Brian Dunaway, have you brought horrible puzzles for us to try to resolve or are you going to participate in one? How are you going to do it? I brought some terrible puzzles. I totally disassemble my Rubis Cube.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Here, put it back together. Thank goodness. You know. Oh, hi, it's gotten Brian. hi. Oh, hello. Hey, do you have multiple Rubik's cubes or any Rubik's cubes there at your house? Oh, absolutely. I've got multiple Rubik's cubes. I've got those pyramid things. Oh, yeah. I've got all the things. Let me tell you what I want. So last time we were in Vegas, I noticed in Vegas they had a big sculpture of a Rubik's cube. I can't remember what hotel we saw
Starting point is 00:16:37 this in. This is my last trip in late June, but it was like the colors were melting off of it. And the way it made it look was like a giant Rubik's cube floating in the air, but it was actually propped up by the paint drippings. The fake paint drippings of the color cubes. It was so freaking cool. I love the kind of gravity-defying stuff. I love that stuff. Yeah, I came away from that going, man, I want that in the house.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Let's get that in here. Oh, he's like seeing like little coffee cups that are like pouring out coffee. And it's the coffee that's holding up the cup. And you're like, that's some strong coffee. Yeah, I love stuff like that. Really cool. easily like 3D print like model and 3D print something like that you just somebody would need to paint it oh right yeah you paint it after well yeah of course you paint it after but yeah
Starting point is 00:17:23 well because you got a you got to get the colors looking right because it's all about you got a you got a yeah whatever does done away have a fancy printer that yes he's got a new 3D printer with an AMS system that he's a little dirty bastard. Dirty, dirty pool. He's that I'm sure that won't affect your chance to win today, done a way that you've now be smirched our host.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Brian, explain these rules. Who's up for winning? All that fun stuff. Welcome to the morning half ass is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct and three that I'm going to make sure Brian gets that are incorrect. Depending on how confident they feel with the category, they can provide one,
Starting point is 00:18:08 two, or three guesses. But if they get any guesses wrong, they get zero points for that round. Get one right, gets you a point. Two right gets you three points. Three right gets you five points, which will add up all at the end after three rounds and we'll award prizes to you guys, but not really you. We're going to be really rewarding them to members of our Patreon that you're representing, that you're playing for. Scott, you're playing for Funky T. Yeah, baby, woo. Funky T. Brian, you're playing for Catlo 54.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Catlo! Catlo! Catlo! Cetlo, 54, where are you? I'm sure these are not their real names, but we love a good nickname, so it's all good. Yes. All right, let's get to, I get a refresh, I'm sure, because I haven't reloaded the page for a while.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Oh, I haven't even started, I was in the green room. There we go. There is anything good there? Maybe some Pop-Tarts. All the brown M&Ms that Led Zeppelin didn't want are in my green room. Oh, good. Good. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:19:10 All right. Here we go. Question number one, things that there are more than 30 of in the human body. So which of these are things that you have more than 30 of in your body? Worse. Vaccines. Oh, go ahead. Vertebrae.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Cranial nerves, hormones, pints of blood, ribs, and adult teeth. Oh, my gosh. This is a good one. because yeah I all of these could be true yeah yeah well I know there aren't that many of that I think there might be of this oh that's right max it was van halen that had the uh the M&Ms in their writer as really just a way of making sure that the venue read their writer they didn't care about the color of M&Ms no it's one of those things it becomes you're immediately like why is this band so picky that's so right and you're like no it's a different reason
Starting point is 00:19:58 it doesn't work that way all right I have picked two That's as confident as I can be. All right. You guys actually both pick two and you both pick the same too. So left together, die together, right? All right. So let's start with hormones. You guys both picked hormones.
Starting point is 00:20:16 There are over 50 hormones in the human body. So very good. That one is correct. You guys also selected cranial nerves. There are 12. Cranial nerves. Yeah. You ever have one of those little heads?
Starting point is 00:20:31 scratchy things. Feels like there's a lot of them up there. Does feel like it, but I don't think that's what it means, but sure. Maybe it's the brain nerves. Maybe, maybe. You have 33 vertebrae. You have eight pints of blood on average in your system. You have 24 ribs and you have 32 adult teeth.
Starting point is 00:20:51 So does that include your wisdoms and all that? Because those are, you know, their teeth. Yes, it does include your baby teeth, but of course your adult adult teeth. Okay. they're angry teeth but they're back there I should have gone for that because I know without him you're in the 20s and I didn't think of it was in the teeth
Starting point is 00:21:07 I almost went for the teeth but it felt like a trick yeah pints of blood I was like holy crap it's like those ticks in that alien show man right right definitely not 32 pints of blood in your system all right that's all right we got that one out of the way let's go to
Starting point is 00:21:24 question number two cars you guys know cars sure I love this song which of these which of these are models of Ford your choices are Edsel, Townsman, Galaxy Kaiser, Country Squire and Titan Which of these are Ford
Starting point is 00:21:42 vehicles Phil is wrong Okay Let's see I hate all these names But I know right I want one of each though Yeah none of these are
Starting point is 00:21:55 I'm going to I got the townsman I'm getting a Bronco No get the townsman I feel good about all right Kaiser felt wrong Kaiser felt wrong for sure the guys are the Kaiser
Starting point is 00:22:08 well the good news is again you guys have locked in two each and on one of them you guys matched up let's start with the one you matched up on you guys both selected the county squire the Ford County Squire I know what this means yeah that is it the county or the country squire
Starting point is 00:22:24 I'm sorry country squire country squire yeah sorry thank you I know what this means. Because Brian, because you're starting with Country Squire, sorry, Country Squire. Country Squire. That tells me I've screwed up.
Starting point is 00:22:36 That's all. To continue. Country Squire is indeed a Ford model from 1950 to 1991. Okay. Now, one of you chose the Edsel. The other one of you chose the Galaxy. Yeah. And if you were to buy a Ford in 1959.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Oh, then he quits. So then it wasn't, oh, 1559, if you were to buy a Ford model, you would have been either buying up an Edsel or a galaxy. Both of those are correct. Congratulations. I was sure I got Edsel wrong because in my head, Edsel was almost its own thing. He's his own thing. It's only like, didn't he leave? You know what the thing was?
Starting point is 00:23:16 He's like, I'm out of here. Something like that. Because there was, there were Edsel models later that weren't Ford. So was the, the model Ford was the make. Wild. So, yeah. Kaiser was by automaker. the name that was the the model or the make was uh 1945 to 1953 and then townsmen and
Starting point is 00:23:35 titan are both Chevy the Chevy Townsman the Chevy Titan did a AM uh automaker did they become something oh maybe they became AMC now that you say that yeah the AMC automaker because a lot of times those things wouldn't go away they would just merge into somebody else or get bought maybe that was yes right maybe yeah okay um all right well done you guys both going into the last question with three points let's see how you do from here uh last one is geography uh which of these which of these are countries that only share a land border with one neighbor so in other words if you're crossing the border from this country you only have a choice of one other country to go into your choices are portugal norway the gambia catar el salvador or eswatini formerly known as swaziland
Starting point is 00:24:28 Did Eswatini come up a couple weeks ago in another? It did, yeah, because I had to look that one up again because it became Eswatini after these cards were written. So I'm like, oh, yeah, Swaziland's not Swaziland anymore. Oh, man, this is hard, but I'm going to go ahead and try. Okay. Three to three, I got to be bold. Three to three. Or hope that he, you know, screws up, one of the two.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Hey. Sorry. I think that one is, hold on. I just don't know much about formerly Swaziland now Eswitini. I just don't know enough about that place. I feel like they might be giants, needs to do a song about the city that changed its name.
Starting point is 00:25:15 That would be great. Okay. Ooh, we have some strategy gone here. Scott chose two. Brian just settled for one just to kind of see. might be the smart move let's get a couple of these other ones out of the way that you didn't choose Norway Norway is connected to both Sweden Finland oh actually all three Sweden Finland and Russia oh wow El Salvador is connected to Honduras and Guatemala so we're taking both of those out of the
Starting point is 00:25:47 running that's Spanish for the Salvador by the way that's right yeah speaking of Spanish Portugal is only connected to Spain, absolutely. Very good. So very good. Scott got one. Okay. Good job, Scott. Let's do Swaziland, which is the one that Brian shows. He only chose Swaziland.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Swaziland is connected to the knee bone. Mozambique and South Africa, meaning two, too many. Qatar only connected to Saudi Arabia. Congratulations to Scott. You got both of those correct. And you win the game. I don't know why I came in today with very little expectation to win, but I'm happy that I somehow pulled it off, Brian.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Let's give it to our patron, who won what today. That's right. By the way, yes, I agree, you're correct. They speak Portuguese in, in us. Yeah, I think you were talking about how Spain bumped up against them is what you were saying. Yes, yes, exactly. I got that. Thank you for picking up on what I'm putting down.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Funky T, you're going to be getting a copy of broken lines and foreclosed. Congratulations, courtesy of, I can remember who gave us these. I think these might still be in the King Kimizabi collection. Oh, okay, cool. That guy gave us a lot, so it wouldn't be surprising. That's right. Brian, you won for Catlow. Catlow's not going to have to be handed.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Catlo is getting a copy of the Dark Side Detective, a fumble in the dark. So this is one of those days where I don't know what the winner got. I don't know broken lines are foreclosed, but I played the Dark Side Detective, one of them anyway. I think it was this one. A fumble in the dark. There's three of them. they're so good. They're point-and-click
Starting point is 00:27:25 throwback graphics. Like, it's very pixel-y, you know, whatever. But the humor is amazing. They're some of the most underrated little point-and-click games you've ever played. They're so good. And if you like detective games
Starting point is 00:27:36 and like figuring shit out, amazing series. So our runner-up kind of won. Congratulations. But also lost. Listen, they're both getting good games that they didn't have to pay for. So they both won.
Starting point is 00:27:49 That's right. Done away? Well done. You lost. Oh, thank you. You want to tell the folks tomorrow, which is a Tuesday, what we're covering on Play Retro, just so they know what to look for. Absolutely. It is legend.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Immersive Sim, DeusX. Oh, no Machina. Just the DSX shortcut. That's right. Yeah, originally in the first 1.0 Unreal Engine, old as hell, but one of the most influential games, really probably of all time. And the only thing Ion Storm did that was successful. let's put it that way. Boy, was it a home run.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Yeah, it was no di Takana, dikatana, is what I'm meant to say. Yeah, Dikon, Tata. Dai Tata, katata, katata. Anyway, we'll go deep on it and we'll talk about why even those two modern games, relatively modern games. I think the last one came out in 2015 or 16.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I wish they would do more. Right now, Square Enix owns the rights, and they're pitifully bad at, like, making new ones. But the DSX series is some of my favorite stuff in the world. So I'm really excited to spill all kind of beans on that. And if you like retro conversations about retro video games, do check it out.

Starting point is 00:29:06 Brian, is there anything else you'd like to tell us or say before you leave? Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go fire at my opinion to 300 megahertz processor to play some Deo Seix. You are, he's such a purest, man. I'm going to like fake my way through a bunch of emulation bullshit. got a great version. Yeah, he's, he's going, I'm doing it that way. Brian's going to play like the real people played on the ground in the day. And I think I had to upgrade my Pentium or whatever I did then for this game.
Starting point is 00:29:32 I think this game made me do it. That's the, yeah, I had the minimum. The minimum specs is, is pretty paltry. Yeah. Yeah. But at the time, it was expensive. I had more, I needed more ram. Anyway, more on that later, Brian kiss our butts.
Starting point is 00:29:45 All right. He had no time to retaliate on my hanging up of. No, it was well done. Just click. Amazing. Those games were great, man. They were like, it was such a big deal, too, because Ion Storm was started by John Romero, ex-Id Software guy. Really, you know, there were two guys that mattered at Id. And it was him and John Carmack.
Starting point is 00:30:06 So Romero leaves, starts Ion Storm, opens these big offices in Texas, gets a flood of money. They make a bunch of shitty games. And then one good game, and that's DeusX. and then they shut down the studio because it wasn't enough to carry the whole thing. To keep them a flow, that's a bummer. I've been playing a ton of inscription.
Starting point is 00:30:27 God, that game is... It's good, right? It's really good. It's disturbing, but it's really good. And I got to show this off, or not showed off, but... Please do. I did pick up the D-brand case and, you know, grips and everything for the Switch 2.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I love it. Like, this makes it so... so comfortable to play. I was going to ask you what you thought of that. Yeah. Yeah. So it kind of, it thickens it up because my biggest beef with the switch is that when I'm using it raw, it's too thin. My hands are too beefy for it.
Starting point is 00:31:01 And look at these, you know, look at this big, these big grips on the, on the controllers. And they fixed it so that you can, you know, that was the big problem with Dbrand is that you, you know, if you, if you held it by one of these, it would pull the thing right. off. Oh, because it was a right. It was a flaw in the was that a flaw in the original switch design or in the switch, too? No, it was a flaw in the D brand. Oh.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Grips is that they overlapped enough to where you didn't get a solid, like this, this didn't give a solid enough connection so that if you were holding it just by the grips, it would come apart. So it's specific to the magnetic switch to stuff. It's specific to, yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Got it. How much was it? Did you say? 75, I think it starts at with just, you know, your grips and your backing case. And then you can get the front case, which holds games and makes it so you can just throw it into a bag and not worry about it. That's not so bad. It's not bad at all. And like I said, 100% worth it. This is despite D brands, you know, and they do have some pretty d-styled advertising. Yeah, I don't love it.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Not advertising. Their D is well earned. Yeah. But their vibe's a little off. Their vibe is a little off. But a lot of places still rate this as the best case slash grips you can get. I did some digging online and before I plunk down my money. Well, I'm going to have to consider it.
Starting point is 00:32:37 That's a little pricey, but not at pricey. It's all right. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen worse. And, you know, it does double duty as both. trips and a case so you know you're getting two for the price of one and and uh sturdy durable what more can you ask for got the big d all right let's get let's get this going well what do you
Starting point is 00:32:56 recommend oh why did nicole leave oh she got fed up she said i don't know why she left she was in there uh maybe she'll come back to you did you i don't know what happened she was there and i went to accept her and she left right before i clicked it let's see what's going on here she's like they're not going to pick me up they're just going to keep talking about damn switch cases let's see does she say something in the thing let's just find out uh i know we were about to unmute you i think she thought because we had her in there and waiting and on mute you i think she thought because we I had her in there and waiting and on mute, she thought that because
Starting point is 00:33:45 we weren't hearing her yet, it meant something wasn't working, so she left. She restarted us. I mean, it could even be a technical issue, but not an on-purpose thing, but an accidental thing. Yeah, she's coming, I think she's coming back in. Just head back in, we will add you.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Or, yeah. Let's see. Yeah, we do we had you staged which means you were muted on purpose oh she says trying LOL yeah I saw that before okay that's from the first time I asked her
Starting point is 00:34:25 oh that is okay that's not the that's a different thing okay yeah so she's she's uh yeah the trying LOL was from before that was four minutes ago all right I don't see her yet she was just in there so I don't know why she's not in there again she'll be here yes we'll
Starting point is 00:34:42 get her yeah I don't know let's see maybe I'll just repaste it just in case okay because you know it never hurts to repaste it and then we're going to hear her get real loud as soon as she comes in
Starting point is 00:34:59 because you know this is all very confusing and nothing yet well hmm Let's see. I guess I can try. I can call her individually on Discord if she'd prefer.
Starting point is 00:35:19 But she's not answering me anywhere, so I don't know what's going on. All right. You know what? I'll do that and try it. We'll just see. Okay. All right. Thank you for your patience.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Your call is important. Can't take being on hold anymore. Fizz is 100% online. So you can make the switch in minutes. Mobile plans start at $15 a month. Certain conditions apply. Details at fizz.ca. Oh, actually, we're already on.
Starting point is 00:35:49 We've already done that. She's not answering that one either. So I don't know where she is. Yeah, like last, so last week, Nicole, if you're hearing this and she may, I think she's probably hearing all this through the other thing. the way it works is you get into where you were and not leave and then we add you
Starting point is 00:36:15 oh there she is all right here we go Nicole are you there hello? Hello? Oh my God yeah you left because you thought we couldn't hear you but you were muted on purpose until we played the intro you were being staged
Starting point is 00:36:29 hello I think I heard you for a second Nicole I don't know if you can hear us but we heard you for like a brief second going, oh my God, we can't hear you at all. Yeah. Do we blame Mark? Should we yell Mark's name?
Starting point is 00:36:41 Oh, there she is. Hello. There we go. How do I sound? You sound good. Okay, okay. Yeah, you sound fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:50 This whole thing, I'm a mess. I'm having surgery today. Ah! So. What are you getting done? I'm getting a port finally. Yeah. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Don't be a lot easier. Yeah, Tina had one of those for her chemo. Basically, it's a, it just gives you a nice little easy entry into the body for fluids and, and treatments and stuff like that. My veins keep blowing during my treatment and they're like, you really, really need to get a port. And I'm like, I don't want to get a port. How does that work? Is it like a quick procedure? They get you in and out of there?
Starting point is 00:37:29 They make it sound like it's a quick procedure. I mean, I think I'm going to be awake, but knowing. me, I'll probably fall asleep because I'm, I'm just utterly exhausted after the birthday party that we had for Eva yesterday. Yeah. Sure. Like, just the stupidest things just make me tired now. Yeah. So yeah, but I'm probably, I'm hoping I just fall asleep. But yeah, they numb you and then they they said light sedation, which means I will be out. Oh. So even if they give you like a little Benzo or something. All that's going to do is make you sleep. I'm just going to, I will sleep. I won't remember anything. I know, I know me. I know how this
Starting point is 00:38:14 works. You know what? I think I'm envious. I prefer to sleep. I prefer that, you know, knock me out. I can't even look when they take my blood. I always look away. But where Mateo, he's just like, he's like all up in it going, what, what's going on? I'm like, what are you doing? Who are you? I mean, I assume they give you an aesthetic around the area that they're creating the port. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Could you imagine? Oh, my God. Just carve India. She's asleep. She's this thing. Can they, can it be used for anything else? Could you use it to like, I don't know, pour a little orange juice in there if you're a little. No, it could, but it would burn.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Yeah. That would be bad. It's going into like a direct vein, right? Yeah. Yeah. yeah so i assume so is that how that works yeah yeah yeah that's a vein i don't want to mess with that seems like a gnarly vein yeah yeah yeah exactly so you know and you're doing that today how long did when when do you go in my mom's picking me up at 1245 we got to get there for 1 30 check
Starting point is 00:39:20 in and then the procedure starts at 2 30 okay and it's like i i use chat GPT to like i said give me a list of questions to ask the doctor oh for yeah there's nothing wrong with that's a good one oh my god it gave me things i didn't even think about like cleaning it and like all the things all the things that does did it say just just blow on it like a cartridge like an n-s cartridge you know sure yeah it's probably you know you know seems like it's a brilliant idea uh well i'm glad you're here i'm I'm very glad to be here too Yeah, I'm glad you're not I'm glad you have a moment of respite
Starting point is 00:40:04 Before this all goes down Let us know how it goes, of course Yeah And welcome to your new home on Mondays Oh yeah Oh yeah, yeah, yeah First Monday slot, excellent No, no, it's not
Starting point is 00:40:14 I've been, did you do a Monday Oh, before you're right Before Labor Day we did We did your first Monday Oh yeah I don't even remember what See, that's the problem I don't even remember what I recommended
Starting point is 00:40:25 Oh, I don't remember things a week after Fu, uh... Oh yeah, it was too Wong Fu. Yeah. Did you watch it, Scott? I haven't, I still haven't seen it, but it's on, I queued it up. That's in my list now. So, I'll get to it.
Starting point is 00:40:37 I know. I want to see it. Yeah. Yeah. But I did finish bad monkey, and that was wonderful. It's so good. It's, I think it might be my favorite Vince Vaughn thing ever. I think it's the least irritating Vince Vaughn.
Starting point is 00:40:54 That's, if that's, if that's, if that's a thing, you know, like, That was a full-blown series on Apple TV Plus, right? Like not a movie, okay. I need to get around to it. And I think there's plans for a season too, so. Yeah. And it's based on some,
Starting point is 00:41:08 is it Elmore, another Elmore Leonard thing? Oh, why wouldn't I love that then? I love Elmore Leonard. Love his work. It's great. Not just as Westerns. His other stuff's fine too.
Starting point is 00:41:18 So, yeah, this three months, or three months, this three month in between, no, our three weeks in between actually gives me an opportunity, to watch your recommendals, which Yeah. Good. Yeah, get a little time in to do that. Well, let's get straight to it then.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Brian, we're going to start with you. We've made that tradition. Damn it, we're not changing. Tell us about your clip before we play it. Well, this is a thing that is called something separate, even though it's the 11th season of a thing that was a while back. Good Lord. Called something separate.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Exactly. All right. And it's a series. All right. I gotta know, why'd you disappear for all these years? I was pretty wrecked, you know, with Deb and all. What did you do with Deb? The last glimpse I had of you was security footage
Starting point is 00:42:19 of you wheeling her out of the hospital. When that hurricane hit. have gone like she was. I don't know. I made sense then. And I took her with me on the boat. I just had to get away. I drove straight into the storm.
Starting point is 00:42:48 And the boat capsized, and don't. I lost her. And I lost my way, I guess. I have to read a, Deb. I couldn't stay in Miami. Somehow I ended up here. He made a strange little throat noise, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:43:15 He did. He was tough because he's in the process of eating a Cubano sandwich. And normally I hate listening to people eat. And I, you know, this is no. This is no exception, except there's a lot of great setup here. Now, that actually happens in the very first episode. That is Dexter from the series, Dexter Resurrection, the newest season of the Dexter franchise. And this one picks up where Dexter New Blood left off, where Dexter relocated to Alaska, changed his name, started working up there,
Starting point is 00:43:57 in, you know, lumberjack, uh, work, you know, stuff like that. And then, um, in new blood, his son comes and finds him. Harrison comes and finds him. And, um, uh, uh, and the two of them form a new bond. Can you ask, uh, sorry to ask this so early, but do I need this, do I need to see the, the prequel thing before this? Is there connected tissue there? No, Dexter Ridson is purely, um, uh, is purely pre first season of Dexter, where you, where you see how Dexter started working for the Miami Police Department and working with his dad and all that sort of thing. So you don't need to see original sin. Just jump right to this one.
Starting point is 00:44:39 You did see new blood, right? Did I? No. I didn't finish. I didn't finish Dexter. The original season. Dexter lost me. I think it's season.
Starting point is 00:44:52 How many seasons were there? There were eight total. I think it lost me at season. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. There were some rough. There was some rough middle. There were some rough seasons. When the woman got involved, I think, with him and. Oh, Rita. Like when he, when he actually got married to Rita and dealt with the Trinity Killer, uh, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's when it lost me. Oh, that was the best season. I kind of was. Yeah. But that's all right. That's all right.
Starting point is 00:45:20 So good. Um, you technically don't need to, I mean, you'll, you get some flashback stuff, but you also, there's enough exposition that sets everything up that you don't necessarily need to watch any of the previous things but New Blood was really good Clancy Brown was in Dexter New Blood
Starting point is 00:45:39 so that is worth seeing Jamie Chung you know if you go back and watch New Blood it's worth it and Resurrection is the best season of Dexter that we've had since
Starting point is 00:45:53 the Trinity Killer since the When was what season was Trinity Killer. Because I do remember it's where you, it's where you dropped off at four. No, no, no. I think I said I stopped at season five. I think I started to go into season five.
Starting point is 00:46:09 And then I was like, probably because season four was so good. Yeah. That I was just like, eh. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is so good. This would be a good place to pick back up. And you get, as you heard in that clip, you get Angel Batista back
Starting point is 00:46:25 who finds Dexter in Alaska after the events at the end of New Blood. I won't spoil that in case you do want to go back and see it. It's great. It's worth saying. But Dexter Resurrection. Listen, here's some other people you get in this season. You get Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, Neil Patrick Harris, Kristen Ritter, Eric Stone Street, David Dasmalshan. what uh yes is he a tell me please tell me he's a serial killer of course he is oh is it not the
Starting point is 00:47:02 role that uh he's meant to be that guy some at some point he needs to be a serial killer and everything that's ever made that guy at one point somebody says about his character clearly you were voted most likely to be a serial killer high school i love him that's exciting so so you need to this is really really good now it's on paramour Permanent Plus, Paramount Plus, or I think that's it. I think you have to have Paramount Plus. Then you get in your Hulu, but without it, you don't get in. Paramount, it's Showtime.
Starting point is 00:47:36 So it's Paramount Own Showtime now, right? Isn't that the deal? Right. So, yeah, so you've got to have your Paramount Plus to watch this. Right. There's the, somebody was asking, didn't Dexter get canceled? The prequel series, original Sin, starring Patrick Gibson, who I think I heard. is the new James Bond.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Is that right? No, he's the James Bond in the video game coming out. James, okay, that's that. He's the mo-capped actor in that for that. And actually that was, because I was really worried about him. Yeah, it's not a great pick for like the live action,
Starting point is 00:48:10 but it seems like he'll be good in the game. Best we can tell. I think you will be. So, yeah, the prequel series original sin did get canceled. However, the regular series with Michael C. Hall has not gotten canceled. And there's even a, spin-off, a Trinity killer spin-off that presumably will star
Starting point is 00:48:28 John Lithgow. Lithgow or Lithgow? Lithgow is what they I've always heard like on... Lithgow, but I always say Lithgow by accident. Yeah. Unlike interviews and stuff, they say Lithgow. I've always said Lithgow
Starting point is 00:48:43 until I heard Lithgow on a, on what seemed to something official. And so I tried to switch to... And now it's all starting to sound weird. I was going to say I don't think that original sin was canceled. The original Sim was meant to be a single one-off miniseries, wasn't it? Or do I have that wrong? No, it was a second season was announced in April 2025, but then on August, 2025, Dexter
Starting point is 00:49:09 Original Sin was canceled, reversing the renewal. Oh, I didn't know that. That's crazy. I thought that was all just like middle ground stuff until they did this thing that you watch. I honestly thought it was, too. When we watched it, it felt like, all right, yeah, they put enough closure in here that I don't see how they would do a second season. Then they announced a second season.
Starting point is 00:49:27 And then they, a couple months later said, just kidding. No second season for, for, original season for you. That's right. No two sins.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Only one sin. Yeah. That's right. So anyway, the Dexter Resurrection just wrapped up. It's 10 episodes. Just finished its season at the beginning of this month. So now is a great time to jump in and watch the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Kim and I are excited. We were big Dexter fans. I don't know why we have. watch original sin but uh you feel like original sin ended okay like it gave you some you know obviously it's a prequel but the closure's there for what it is and it's fine yeah okay it's good it's it's fine it's um uh you know it's another one where you've got a christian slate or father figure kind of like mr robot he's kind of and it's kind of a similar i mean he's not he's obviously not uh no maybe i don't want to spoil uh mr robot for people but no i still haven't finished it
Starting point is 00:50:23 But Christian Slater is the physical existence of Dexter's dad. Oh, right. I knew that from something. Trailer probably. I think I saw it. And I will say, you know, it's also not a spoiler to say that resurrection brings back James Remar as as Dexter's dad, the ghost of Dexter. How do you call it? Dexter's conscience that shows up as his dad, I guess.
Starting point is 00:50:52 he's always there to like i try to think of another example this there's lots of movies and tv where they have like a dead like me had oh yeah that's a good one which is funny because that's also michael see hall oh yeah it is terrible ending wait dead like me i thought was uh no sorry not dead like me you're thinking it's six feet under six feet under there you go by the way this guy right here was good but it was bad at the end dead like me had a bad ending this guy right here is the dude um that's our james bond that's your knee james bond and he was was the it's hard to tell but this is the kid and uh yeah yeah okay we'll see if he's any good i hope um all right excellent check it out now available now yep yeah uh let's get to nicoles
Starting point is 00:51:35 you want to set this up before i hit play all right so here's a deal i am recommending this as a challenge for anyone that has played this game to look it from a child's eyes. So, Mateo has been begging me to watch this movie with him. I was like, I really don't want to watch this movie. It's going to suck so bad.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I know it's going to suck. But I'm like, no, he wants to watch it. We're going to watch it. He has never played the games. I have played all of the games. It is my,
Starting point is 00:52:18 it's in my top three favorite games of all time. Um, so do you get the new one yet? With that said, yes, I got, I, hell yes, I did. Cool. Of course you have played it yet. I haven't played it because I'm too damn tired. Right. Um, but I will say if you go into this movie, wiping your memories of everything you know about this world and about these characters it's actually it's actually not so bad I looked through I watched it with Mateo and I try to put myself in his place in watching it and it was a fun movie I also learned that it took over five years to get this damn
Starting point is 00:53:16 movie made because it had 18 executive producers that it But it had to go. It's amazing that it was even made. Nicole, Nicole, tell me you have a sleeping pug behind you. What is that sound? Dougie. Oh, he's snoring.
Starting point is 00:53:35 You can hear him. Yeah. I can hear your dog snoring. He's a, he's a bulldog, right? Not a pug. Yeah, he's a bull. He didn't have really any allergies until we moved to Missouri.
Starting point is 00:53:48 And so that's when the story happened. And everybody has. already guessed the movie in the chat. So go ahead. It sounds like Mark is sawing wood in the background like he's like he's using planar or something. Dougie, Dougie.
Starting point is 00:54:06 It's like Halloween almost. I like it. It's pretty funny. All right, well here's your clip. Let's play it. And then we'll tell everybody what we're talking about. Here you go. John has a very special wrong one. Here's yours. I love it when bounty hunters drop by. Time to make you free.
Starting point is 00:54:22 With your body parts. Hey. You still alive down there? She seems deranged. All right, there you go. That's a chaotic look at what film is that? All right, this is the borderlands film, as everybody has already guessed, just by my setup of it because uh that you had tiny tina who tiny tina favorite character lover
Starting point is 00:55:01 older tiny tina not so much but that's here nor there um she's she's the smaller version of herself she's she's borderlands two tiny tina in this movie that dLC for two with her and it was some of the best that game ever did was that was my game of the year yeah you loved and that was DLC. And then they turned it into a full game, which was okay. Yeah, people liked that one. It was all right. I finished it. It was fine. That's when I got sick, though. So it was, I got some bad, you know, connection to that game. But I still finished it. Can you still hear, Dougie? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's a snore monster. I'm getting used to it. It's chilling me out. I like it. It actually is. It's kind of ASMR. Dougie SMR. Dougie, go get out of here. DSMR. I love it. And then you heard a clap trap who is a voice by Jack Black.
Starting point is 00:56:01 And according to my son, Jack Black can do no wrong. I found. So when they announced the movie and they announced the cast, they got the role of Moxie, right? Janine Gershawne. Is that how you say your name? Yep. is yeah kevin hart uh weird casting but you have to keep in mind this movie was filmed during
Starting point is 00:56:29 covid so they asked uh kate blanchett who plays lilith why she did the movie and she was just like i need to get out of my house she's like i'm just like seriously like that But, yeah, Kevin Hart was not a good pick. But whatever. They didn't spend a lot of time on him anyway. But the character, they kind of just took characters from all of the games and kind of mashed them up and made a story that did not happen in the games. And like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Like I said, if you've never played the games, you might enjoy this movie. Don't listen to the to the naysayers. It was, it was a fun, it was a fun movie to watch with Mateo and I, and he really enjoyed it. So not everything is made for us, but I think it's hilarious that I was reading that we're like, oh, this is, the fans are going to love it. I'm like, the fans are going to frickin't hate this movie because it did not fall other than the characters and the concept of a vault that was and then the title was called borderlands and the title was called borderlands and you were on pandera and you had all of
Starting point is 00:58:07 the craziness of that world um i didn't i've never played a borderland oh no i think i take that back i think i started a borderlands game and just uh realized it wasn't for me um very very limited time playing borderlands um you might like the movie then no i hated the movie oh you watched it yeah i saw it in theaters i saw in theaters and and it did not make me want to go back and finish the game oh no it's not going to make you want to finish the game at all yeah yeah well most of the grumpy reviews are from people who never seen the game right So I'm more like the, you know, the non-gameplaying critics and stuff like that. Like, yeah, this didn't do it for me.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Yeah, it's unfortunate because there's potential in that world. It just sounds like it was not. Oh, my God. Yeah. There were too many cooks in that kitchen. Yeah. There were too many cooks in the kitchen. It came out at the wrong time.
Starting point is 00:59:06 It just, the actress that they got to play Tiny Tina was aging out of the character because she was getting old. And Tiny Tina is supposed to be a young girl that is out on her own. Her parents get killed. And we find her in Borland's too. And she just became my favorite character, even though she's psychotic, poor girl. And I don't know, I wish Brick was in it. I wish there were so many other characters. Like Craig, I think he was a D.L.C.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Adon for two, I think. Was it for two? I was thinking, I think it was, I was thinking it was three. I barely remember three. Yeah, three was not well received mostly. The gameplay was all right. The story was kind of bad. I still played the hell out of all of them and I beat them all.
Starting point is 01:00:06 So I even loved a pre prequel. And here's the thing. The pre sequel? They don't even. they don't even touch the handsome jack but they have the handsome jack character but it's not handsome jack but you're like that's totally handsome jack they missed out because like the tale tale game the the the tail tail tail game that they made the kind of point and click adventure game is so good that story's so good yeah i don't know why they didn't just copy that story just do that you know
Starting point is 01:00:34 well and they even brought some of that into three i think yeah three had a lot of that three story three had terrible humor it was so so it was so stupid i still love i loved i loved three three was fun to play but the story was so i've been wanting to talk about borerlands for a while and i've been putting it off and putting it off and so matteo finally was like no mom let's watch it and like and so we're watching it and he's laughing and jack black's doing his stuff even though they had a voice actor for clap track right yeah i had my headphones uh stopped working all of a sudden i ran out of juice so i I don't know if you talked about Jack Black, but he was, I think, the thing I disliked the most about
Starting point is 01:01:18 the movie. And I normally love Jack Black, but his clap truck was just so. Yeah. Yeah. I think you're right. Seeing this through the eyes of kids. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Like as a kid, I loved Condor Man. You know what? Condor Man is garbage. But I was a kid. It didn't matter because I was a kid and everything was cool when you're a kid. So yeah, you know what?
