Starting point is 00:00:00 The cloud covered the moon, and the moon said, What the crap, man? I was looking at that planet. And the cloud was all like, fine. I will leave, but you need to support TMS on Patreon at patreon. At patreon.com slash TMS. Nabobos. Oops, all pockets.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Complaining like a nanny. Seven-day elbow zit. Paranormal tape activity. Soup season. Turn-based Skype. What takes too long? Everything. Mmm. Velvety.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Malduran. Gin should be gin flavored. Uh, is it too or not? for a spatchcock turkey? Loub the deck. It was mom, not me. Major spoilers, variant hollow foil blind bag with Stephen and more on this episode of the morning stream. You don't even have the power to turn stones into bread.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Tell me, who are you? It all began with a human craving. The morning stream, I must break you. Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS, the morning stream for Monday, November 3rd, 2025. I am Scott. He is Brian. Hello. I is. Happy beginning of November, everybody. Yeah, how's the weather over there?
Starting point is 00:01:27 It got real cold here. It was super cold here. 80 degrees yesterday, record-breaking, hottest November day on record for Colorado yesterday. Oh, my gosh. 80-something degrees. Today, 50. Yeah. So 30-degree swing.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Isn't that weird? I don't understand days like that. I guess those are the indicators you're about to get a cold snap as if a hot thing comes through, right? I don't know. I think maybe, yeah. I'm no weather man, but that's what it feels like to me. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:54 I'm excited about it. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather. Yeah, it's soup weather, man. Yeah. chili soup yeah we've got some great green chili upstairs you um yum yum carter made this roasted vegetable uh chili oil thing it's so it's like all these carrots garlic a bunch of vegetables just ground up and made in a puree basically and then then soup made more soupy with like i don't know what base some like chicken broth or something
Starting point is 00:02:22 and by the end it's a thicker soup still like maybe it's something like a like a, like a, yeah, yeah, like that, but purely veggies and a little bit of this chili oil. And it was outstanding. She put it through a strainer, make it really velvety. Yeah, and it was so good. I was a little surprised because if she's a good cook, she makes, baked things. She's very good, but I didn't think I was going to love this. This might be my favorite soup I ever had. It was so freaking good and good for you. It was like simple ingredients, not a lot of extra stuff. It's fantastic. If I can get her to do it, I'll, I'll get her to share out recipe, everybody.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Oh, yeah, there you go. Perfect fall weather thing, you know. Time for Carter's Kitchen YouTube short. Yeah, why not? Let's do it. Let's make more work. I'm sure those things are not quick to produce. Well, Brian, we're here.
Starting point is 00:03:12 We got a show to do. It's a new week, a new month, new all that business. And we may as well get straight to it. I've got a piece of audio I need you to hear. I've been doing this. I can't show you the whole box, but I've got all these old cassette tapes. I'm going through them. Oh, nice. Wow. These are all various things.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Some of these are simply just boring, like some self-help tape my mom had in the 80s. So I just throw those away when I check those. Sure. Because who cares? But anything that's like, oh, this is Christmas morning. And my dad recorded everybody coming downstairs and giggling and goofing off and whatever. Everything from that to like when my brother was in Korea, we would make family tapes in the early 90s. Oh, wow. Like, send them to him.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Hello. From America. Yeah, basically, you know, like turn-based Skype, really, is what it was at the time. Because we didn't have anything better, so that's what we did. And then he would send back, the way we do, he sent it. And he would do one side of the tape. And then we'd listen to it. And then we would record the other side and send it back.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Same tape would just keep going back and forth and back. Yeah. The only downside of that is there's probably a ton that we don't have to keep because we record it over stuff. But I found a fair amount of them and have been just doing this transfer. I got a thing on Amazon to let me, you know, convert to digital and all that. Super simple process. But anyway, I've been doing that.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And on one of these tapes, the entire first, second side's blank. But on one of these tapes, there's this crazy sound going on. And you've got to hear this. This is just the weirdest sound. So I captured it for the show. It kind of gave me the willies.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Let me turn this part now. Oh, God. Okay. All right, here you all. It's only 15 seconds of it, but this is at the whole side of the tape. weird paranormal activity kind of stuff yeah um i was going to say it sounds like the tape got recorded at a different speed but
Starting point is 00:05:15 then you hear the tv in the background and it's definitely like um it's being played at the right speed. It might just be the motor on the tape deck. The thing you were recording on was just need a little bit of lube or something. Yeah. And the tape had had a date had a date on it of 1978. So it's entirely possible too that the tape is so like lost its ability to hold up a time that it's just making a weird noise. But I was just like, oh my gosh, I got to share that with Brian. Kind of gave me the willy's had to turn the lights on it. I don't like it. By the way, Uh, after listening to that, guess what, uh, listeners and chat room in seven days, you're going to develop a zit on the inside of your elbow that you just can't scratch.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Oh, shit. That's, that's your seven day, uh, seven day thing, unless you somehow give it to somebody else. You have to transfer it. It needs to follow to somebody else. Yeah. Yeah. You got to pass it on. You have to shake a hand and make it follow transfer to somebody else.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Yeah. And if you don't, then you're, it's, you've, now you're cursed for life. So get it done now. Then you know what you did last summer. Nice. Brian, you got to hear this one too. This is Wendy. I was a teenager.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Wendy would have been, let's see, it was about 87. So she'd have been, oh gosh, would she have been 10 or 11, something like that. And I blamed a burp on my mom. And then she laughed. And so this just tells you the relationship we have. Because this is mostly Wendy and I's entire relationship is me saying something inappropriate in her laughing.
Starting point is 00:06:47 So here you go. That was mom, not me. I swear it was mom. That's her laughing. That's great. Weird, right? Anyway. Sometimes you guys make me wish I had a sister.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Well, the problem is you don't, you can't always, you can't pick them. And one of my sisters is a psycho. I never talk about her on here, but, you know, you got to get lucky. So I had to have, I had to have three to choose from. Two of them turned out great. One of them's a psycho. Yeah. Oh, well.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Oh, well. But anyway. It was super fun going through all that stuff and, you know, having a little bit of... Yeah, I'll bet it is. Like, walk down memory lane. Yeah. And audio is such a great thing for that. Let's cleaning out old files, getting rid of some videos, some audio files, a whole bunch of crap.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And it just was like... And then I got so into it. I think I've gone through half that box. The problem is some of these are just so haphazard. Because this, if you think I'm a little bit air-headed today about things, back then, I might take a whole tape that says instructions on how to fix a Ford Buick. or, you know, some two different cars, but something my dad had. But I actually recorded over that a bunch of Letterman episodes or episodes of Dr. Demento or something.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Right. And I don't know because it's chunked out where the guy goes, now first, open the hood of your car. And then. Dr. Demento! It would cut in and start doing it. It's funny. Five time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:09 So I have to go through kind of painstakingly because you can't just skip around in tapes. You have to, you know, it's the point. The point of what we do today is so much better than what we used to have to. do to find shit. Anyway, wish me luck, everybody. The archives continue. Brian, you saw a movie and I can't wait to hear about this. How to go.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Yes, Tina and I saw Bogonia. I should also talk really quickly. Evening before Halloween, I took Tina to, on a mystery date to the Empire. No, not the Empire Strips Back. That's the Star Wars version of it. Nightmare on Strip Street, which is a burlesque traveling. I don't know about, I think they, it was in Vegas for a while. I came here.
Starting point is 00:08:48 um might be in different cities but it seems weird that it would be anywhere after halloween but if it if you do see it if it does come to your town it's a horror themed burlesque show with things like um you know six pinheads all taking their clothes off and and um no actual nudity exposed nipples or anything but the the girl uh who played the ring who climbed out of the tv certainly bent in positions and was wearing just pasties and bent in positions that humans should not be able to to bend in. Oh, interesting. So that's actually it was a question. It's just based on like references to pop culture, horror, or whatever. It sounds like it is. Everything, yeah. The only one that felt out of place, even though it really wasn't, was
Starting point is 00:09:31 they had a Mishan from the Walking Dead who walked around with katanas and two slave zombies on chains that she pulled around. Oh my. Wow. That's awesome. From the very original, like from the first appearance of Mishon on the Walking
Starting point is 00:09:48 dead. Yeah, you had two headless guys, right? Not headless, but just chained around their neck and stuff. That's right. They wouldn't be headless. They'd be dead if they're headless. Yeah. What am I thinking of, though?
Starting point is 00:09:58 Unless you're thinking of the return of the walking dead, in which case, you know, heads don't matter. You can have a zombie run around without a head. That thing had no rules, man. Piss me off a little bit. There you go. Yeah, jawless. Oh, that was it.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Yeah, I couldn't remember. I knew there's something all left up about their heads. And they were like her brother and an old boyfriend, right? Oh, right. I think that's right. It's kind of gnarly that whole story. Yeah, that's right. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I'm trying to find this photo you put in our Discord. I was going to show it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because it looks like fun. It's safe to share, yes. Yeah, it's just a stage shot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:30 For some reason. Dance off between. Was it film sack you put it in? I think you did. Oh, it was film sack because it was horror movie. That's right. So it was like, yeah, that's where I felt like it belonged. I did not remember.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Here we go. Nope, that's Ernest scared stupid. Here it is. I'll just put this up for the fine folks. at home. There you go. This looks like fun. And they only do Halloween, I assume, or the other kind of stuff? You know, I could have sworn I saw, I guess
Starting point is 00:10:55 it was Vegas that had the Empire Strips back or maybe even still has the Empire Strip's back, but for a really long time. And so maybe this is just a Halloween thing, but really, really good, and they're obviously doing the thriller dance there. I love it. You got your Jason.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Mike Myers. Who's this between him, do you know? Back there, I think, is Pennywise. Oh, wow. Yeah. Freaky. That's ghost face, I assume, here in the front. They got Freddy and not sure on that one.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I can't tell on that one. The final one has kind of exposed brain business going on or something. I don't know who that is either. Oh, yeah, she does look like she's got exposed brain. So I'm not sure what character that would be. Here, let's see. I took a few pictures right around that one, so I might be able to pull a better, like get a better view.
Starting point is 00:11:47 let's see here Mike Myers Penny was all the greats yeah no oh go back let's see I think that one might have been that wasn't pinhead was it oh maybe that's good point that oh yeah that's pinhead oh now yeah yeah yeah yeah okay see the pins now yeah that's great of course pinhead should be in there where the where's candy man too many bees exactly too many bees yeah anyway so that was that was a blast So yesterday we decided, hey, let's go see Begonia, because we, Thursday night is usually our brand-new movie night, and we would have seen this then, but we saw it yesterday, and it's the new movie by Jorgos Landrumos of the planet Yorgon. And it is compared to things like poor things and what was the most recent one, there was. the anthology kind of story oh the one in the hotel room um yeah yes uh i forgot the name of that but it was right after the the one where uh willem defoe blows burp bubbles at the table
Starting point is 00:13:00 kind of kinds of kindness yeah poor things was the burp bubbles and then kinds of kindness um this one is a lot more grounded you've got um basically um emma stone is this um high-powered pharmaceutical uh company um uh head and um jesse plemonds and oh i don't know who the other guy is but he is so freaking good aden aden delbus i think is his name um absolutely amazing playing his um his idd brother uh yes um he is so oh he's autistic he is so freaking talented. Golly, he's amazing. Anyway, they capture,
Starting point is 00:13:49 they kidnap Emma Stone and hold her for their own kind of confused reasons as to who she really is. So it's a little bit more grounded than the weirdness of kinds of kindness and poor things and stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:05 The trailer talks about how, the only thing I get from is Jesse Plymouth think she's an alien, in the trailer? So is that kind of the concept? That's the concept. Yeah, it's like a conspiracy theory. I think you're from Andromeda or something.
Starting point is 00:14:23 And you're here on Earth trying to take over, blah, blah, blah. So. Seems like a dumb question, but Emma Stone's good. I assume she's always good. She's great. She's just fantastic. And she freaking, talk about committing to the bit. She freaking shaved her head totally for this thing.
Starting point is 00:14:41 my gosh like you know you see her head getting shaven shaved and um and it's clear that it's not like a bald cap or something that's great uh it's just absolutely amazing suspect we'll see her on oscar nomination lists as usual i think so i don't know if the film the film could get the film should get a um uh what's the like uh um uh production design award because it is just amazing. Like you go from these really lavish pharmaceutical office kind of scenes to the basement of
Starting point is 00:15:24 Jesse Plemons house and this gross, dingy, scary horror movie looking kind of thing. That's really, really good. Well, as I always say, when life gives you Plemons, you make Plymonade. Exactly, yes, you do. What kind of patriot are you? Oh, my gosh, and those red glasses, that bastard.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Those red glasses. All right, guys, time for this. Have fun. Here we go. Game time. Weir. Hey, look who it is. It's our old buddy, our old pal.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Our friend, our brother in arms. It's Brian, done away. What are you doing there, buddy? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. How are you doing? How are you doing? Doing all right? You're just sitting there waiting for us?
Starting point is 00:16:06 Are you just being all patience? That was going on there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just laying on the floor thinking. You know, about my life, choices. Yeah, nothing wrong with that. You know, sometimes you got to have a good lay on the floor, for real. Oh, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:16:19 It's kind of the indoor version of touch grass, you know? Just like get down on the floor unless you have dogs or cats, in which case you don't know what you're laying in down there. Sure. But just laying flat on your back. Look at the ceiling and just evaluate where you're at today, you know. I might do that after the show. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:16:40 We'll see. What we will see, though, now is a game, a game of great pop culture significance that Brian lays on us on Mondays, and we're going to see how this will go. And who might win what? Brian explained it to the people at home. Welcome to the morning of half-asses. The morning of half-asses. Already five words in. I've already screwed up people.
Starting point is 00:16:59 A trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you guys the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers. Three of which are correct, and three like blaming a burp on your mom are incorrect. Depending on how confident you feel with a category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zilch, nil, nunkah, yet for that round. Get one right, gets you a point. Two right gets you three points. Three right gets you five points.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I can't even keep track myself, people. And we're going to add up all those points after three rounds. They're going to win prizes for their contestant. Let's find out who those contestants are. These are members of the Tadpool that we've pulled from the Patreon. Thank you for supporting the show. Scott, you're playing for theater monkey. Theater monkey, that's Joe.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Oh, Joe. Say it isn't so. No, let's say it is so today. Say it is so, Joe. Brian is playing for Dave Linovitz. Ah, I don't know him. Dave, the dove fiend. No, that isn't right at all.
Starting point is 00:17:58 That's slick Rick. That's some slick Rick drops are there. Say it ain't so, Rick. Yeah. Say it ain't so, Rick. Don't be a prick, Rick. No, I don't like that. By the way, theater monkey reminds me about,
Starting point is 00:18:08 um frazier and uh um do you know the two characters on fraser that you never see that are talked about all the time almost every episode maris and maris is one um it's a trick the second one is tricky but but she comes up on i'd say at least 50% of the episodes maybe maybe even two out of three episodes and she shows up oh she does show up i mean he talks she never shows up we never see her. Oh, Diane definitely shows up. Yeah, Diane shows up. She does.
Starting point is 00:18:40 So does Lilith. Lilith, yeah. You also get. The character is Sherry Niles. We never see, we hear him always talk about Sherry Niles, Sherry Niles, and we never see the character, Sherry Niles.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Wait, hold on, Sherry Niles. Hold on. I'm not, I know this is a joke, but I can't find it. Sherry Niles. Niles, Niles, rings the door, knocks on the door, comes in, Frazier goes, Sherry Niles. Oh, shit, he does all the
Starting point is 00:19:05 freaking time. Every single time. I just saw it last night and I was like, I'm bracking my brain. All right. Well, that, you know what? That may portend how well I do today. I don't know. Yeah, I think so. Let's see. Let's hope you do better than that. Let's hope your knowledge of Seinfeld is better than your knowledge of Frazier.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I have a feeling it is. God knows these. He's a Seinfeldian. I am. He's a Seinfeld freak. Yep. Which of these are Seinfeld nicknames for weird talkers? Your choices are, whoops? That is not. That doesn't know. I was to say.
Starting point is 00:19:35 It is Mexican things. It's weird. I thought I clicked. I felt like, I was like, man, I thought I didn't know it, but man,
Starting point is 00:19:45 I really didn't know it. Let's try this again. There we go. There we go. Okay. Scared me. The slow talker, the high talker,
Starting point is 00:19:51 the loud talker, the hand talker, the close talker, and the low talker. Which three of these are actual Seinfeld nicknames for talkers, weird talkers. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:03 We are going to go with. one of these I'm a little ooh this is actually really well constructed I know it really is yeah oh my gosh dude um
Starting point is 00:20:15 okay I'm pretty sure this is it start showing up soon oh there guess that's how you'll get me that's how you'll get me that's a good point that's a really good point all right let's see what you guys chose
Starting point is 00:20:29 um you let's see Brian chose two Scott chose three you two both settled on the close talker that of course was played by Judge Reinhold who got in way too close when he was talking to people he was fantastic yeah you also both chose the low talker
Starting point is 00:20:46 and she was responsible for Jerry wearing the puffy shirt I couldn't hear I don't want to be a pirate that whole thing so Brian you're definitely you're definitely getting points because those are the two you locked in on so you're going to be getting three points this round Scott got all three Scott chose another one he chose the high talker No, do you remember who the high talk? Like, what is the high talker? No, so this is the one in the list that I was the least sure of, but it sounds right.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And so I'm scared. You had good reason to be concerned about that one, Scott, because it is correct. It just was a really weird one that I couldn't remember either. Which one was it? I don't know. I couldn't remember who the high talker was. The boyfriend of the Kramer lady. Oh, everyone thought it was a woman.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Every time he was on the phone. Right. Yes. And he got all upset because everybody called a ma'am and misses and stuff and he got pitched. It was always like that. And it was actually a dude. It was actually a dude. But it was a lady doing ADR over it.
Starting point is 00:21:42 It was actually really well done. Yes, the bald guy, Jeff. Yeah. It's high pitch. Who's high pitch? All right, let's get to question number two. So Scott going into, you guys both coming in hot, three and five points. Five for Scott. Three for Brian. Question
Starting point is 00:21:58 number two. Things that they're exactly 21 of 21. Which things are exactly 21? Feature films directed by Stanley Kubrick, chromosome pairs and a wolverine, U.S. states that end in A,
Starting point is 00:22:14 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet, protons in an atom of scandium, and the number of rows that one can play on in the game go. Oh my gosh. Three of these things are exactly 21. But not 6-7, 6-7. No, 6-7.
Starting point is 00:22:32 holy crap this is hard i love this one this is my favorite kind of i'm going through the states right now on my head going um oh my lord on high i guess i'm going to just have to oh now yes a little bit here um then i guess i'll that seems like not enough that seems like too many that states with a in them oh end in a and end in a like you're a Alaska and you're Alabama. Alabama. Alabama.
Starting point is 00:23:07 California. All right. I'm going to go very conservative. Okay. You both did, as a matter of fact. You each chose one. Now, Scott chose U.S. states that end in A.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Brian chose letters in the Hawaiian alphabet. And you're right, Brian. There are way fewer letters in the Hawaiian alphabet because... A lot of fewer. I know it's fewer, but I don't. I don't know if it's fewer. Well, let's say it's fewer. I'll just say it's fewer.
Starting point is 00:23:35 That means I definitely. One of you is correct. One of you is correct. One of you is incorrect. And Scott increases his lead. Yeah, U.S. states that end with A. There are 21 of them. I can only get like, I will take away all six points if you cannot name all 21 states.
Starting point is 00:23:53 That's right. I agree. Yes. Oh, my Lord. Just kidding. Letters in the Hawaiian alphabet, there are 13, half as many as, Wow. That's what we have here on the mainland.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Feature films directed by Kubrick, there are 13. And the number of rows that one can play on in the game Go is 19. Somebody actually knew. Bob Baloo-4 got that one. He knows his go. So that protons in the atom of scandium. Yes, there are 21 protons in an atom of scandium. Wild thing to even hear.
Starting point is 00:24:25 It's just a weird thing. It really is. All right. All right. I'm feeling good. pairs, chromosome pairs and a Wolverine, 21. Yeah. Scott's killing. Me and Joe, baby. You'd have a chance.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yeah. Well, you've, you've fully won. So there's no, you know, oh, no, I take that back. No, Brian can do it. If he gets all, if you, if you, if you, if you, uh, poop the bed, Scott. Uh, and Brian gets all of them, then, oh, I love it. Unlikely, but. If I don't poop the bed. Yeah, don't poop the bed. All right. Final question. Let's go back to television because we had fun with that one. Actors who won five Emmys in the same role.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Which of these actors won five Emmys at playing the same character? Candice Bergen is Murphy Brown. Kelsey Grammer as Sherry Niles. No, Frasier Currian. Don Knott's as Barney Fife. Julie Louis Dreyfus as Selina Meyer. Brian Cranston as Walter White and Gene Stapleton as Edith Bunker.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I'm going to as conservatively lock in with two that I feel comfortable about. The rest, I do not. I went with the obvious ones. Are there obvious ones? I'm not sure. I mean, I think Don Knotts as Barney 5 is the opposite of obvious, but he may have done it anyway, but it seems. That show was around for quite a while.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I don't blame you. Usually the butt monkeys don't get the Emmys. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He buzz kind of a butt monkey. It was great.
Starting point is 00:25:47 All right. We'll see how you guys did. Let's start with, so Brian had to go for all three, right? Yeah. Let's look at, let's see. You chose Julie Louis. Dreyfus as Selena Meyer on the television program
Starting point is 00:26:02 Veep. Yep. Veep. Now, she was a constant winner for New Adventures of the Old Christine. Did she win as many as that on Veep? She did. Oh shit. Five Emmys. Five Emmys as Selena Meyer on Veep. That's every season, right? That's every
Starting point is 00:26:20 season. I think they're only five. I think that's right. I think that's right. There may have been one other, but man, hell of a thing to do. Brian, you also chose Candice Bergen as Murphy Brown. Candice Bergen won five Emmys. Oh, shit. I'm screwed. No, no, not really.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Well, I did. And then you both chose Kelsey Grammer as Fraser Crane. Yeah. Well, then you get it either way, Scott, because if I'm right, I don't get so many points. No, it means you got two of the other. If that one's right, my other one's wrong. I know. It's so cool, right?
Starting point is 00:26:55 Like, like, it's a deciding factor here. if this one's right because you both chose it. But Scott knows that because I've already exposed two, and neither were the two he chose, he knows he didn't get any points. Right. Let's just get Gene Stapleton as Edith Bunker out of the way. She only,
Starting point is 00:27:13 tragically, only won three Emmys as Edith Bunker. That one time she got raped. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Remember that? That was awful. That was a thing. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Still can't believe they did that. But all right. Frasier Crane, Kelsey Grammer, one only four times oh it was a trick because i thought when he was on cheers surely he got one and then yeah and then more oh man only four i mean is is fraser crane donnots really was the actual answer uh brian uh donnots um brian crinston one four tricky ones this time you have to go for the obvious sometimes when you're that far behind oh

I think this makes him the only non-comedic role in here, right? Yeah, it's like. Rester comedies. That's interesting. This group for sure.

Starting point is 00:28:30 It's very good. Nice. And Snow Motto Racing Freedom. You're also getting a copy of that, big thanks to who supplied those. That was King Kimmazabi. It was like an 80s Japanese video game TV show or something. Really? Snowmoto Racing Freedom.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I have no idea what it is. That sounds like it. But don't worry, Dave Linowitz. You're getting a copy of Riven, the 1997 edition. Listen, I love Mist. I love Mist because it set the stage. but as far as like game creativity and puzzles and things like that Riven is in my opinion the superior game
Starting point is 00:29:04 Yeah you're not alone it's the best of the bunch of my opinion It's it's I want I want a 3D model the that rotating building and Riven Because it's so freaking cool yeah it's really good So there you go so you're getting a copy of Riven 1997 edition That one actually came courtesy of Maldron Oh thank you Maldron very good nice Alderon and Maldron blue-od They're on Dantuan though Sorry, then, I'm Dan Turing.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Well, well done. Congratulations. Done a way you get one of these. But you haven't lost entirely because tomorrow you and I are bumping heads on the old play retro around a halo, the first Halo. Combat Evolved. That's right. The Xbox came out in 2001. That means it's 24 years old and old enough for the play retro.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yep. Yeah, because we're getting a PS5's getting a version. What? Cross Systems? Yeah, I know. What? Yeah. It's a weird, it's a weird deal, but it seemed inevitable that eventually there would, this sort of crossover would happen.
Starting point is 00:30:05 But, yeah, Halo Evolved or Halo Kombat evolved, the very first game. We're going to see how that shit holds up. Ibit, quick. Did the Xbox, did the original Xbox have A-CMI or no? It did not, because I have one of those. It had, it had the three, it didn't even, it had, well, the one I had had the, not even RGB, it had the other... component cables, the YC, yeah, the YC, RC,
Starting point is 00:30:31 and those like the weird three other colors green. I had S, did have S video? I can't remember. I think you could get it. I'm not sure if it was built with that cable or not, but you could get an S video. Yeah, which is, I mean, it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:30:45 None of the other competing consoles had HDMI either. That was still, that was still to come. That stupid giant plug you had to get that only fit their thing. So it's not like you could get, oh, I'll just go out and get a new HDMI cable or a new this cable or that cable.
Starting point is 00:30:59 No, it was just stupid. Yeah, that's how they make their money, man. Get it on the accessories. I have it right there. Well, you did good, but we'll do that better even tomorrow. On Play Retro. Frogpants.com slash Play Retro. Brian, I would like to tell you one last thing.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Kiss my butt. All right, he's up. Guys, pull up a chair, grab your loved ones. Tell him what for because guess what? It's time for this guy right here. And now welcome Stephen to the show. He's a huge freaking nerd. Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Yes, indeed. Steven Schlecker joining us all the way from Hayes, Kansas. And the headquarters of major spoilers.com. Stephen, welcome. Good morning, Scott. Good morning, Brian. Good morning. Oh, you sound so good today.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Listen to you. Oh, well. Yeah, very, very warm, very, I don't know, comforting, maybe. I don't know. I like it. Keep it up, man. Yeah, if I'm the only warm voice in this cold, world then there you go there you go yeah i'm in i'm here you're like warm soup on a on a cold fall
Starting point is 00:32:02 day so it's good to have you here uh we've missed you horribly because what do we do about pop culture when you're gone nothing that's what i say so when you show up we get to catch up and talk about what the hell's going on let's start off with a couple of things yeah uh the we've talked about this before when things have come up when a comic goes for ridiculous amounts of money but the most expensive comic is about to hit the auction block what is it and should Brian and I be bidding on this. I know the answer to that is no, but. Oh, he muted.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Do we lose you? He muted himself, it says. Oh. Did you mute yourself? Did you mutify yourself? I think you just tapped your little green, there you go. Oh, okay. There we go.
Starting point is 00:32:41 That was weird. So I was going to say, you and I and Brian, we're podcasters. So we don't have any money. Yeah. We're broke. But we know that there are people in the audience that do have a lot of money. Mm-hmm. And one of the rarest comic books, a Superman number one rated 9.0, there is no comic, no Superman comic rated number one rated higher than a 9.0.
Starting point is 00:33:05 In fact, it is the only 9.0 rated Superman number one in existence. Yeah. Wow. Are there others, I mean, are there others that you would call a 6 and a 7 and a 5? So if you look at the, like, there's only, I think, a total of 7 copies that are graded 6 or better. and so it's an extremely rare comic. Action Comics number one, when it sold in 2024, sold for $7 million.
Starting point is 00:33:30 This one, because of its high price, it's starting at $2.6 million, but they're expecting that to go as high or higher than Action Comics number one. Now, let me ask you this. This says, oh, buyer's premium, you got to, so that bit of 22.6, you've got to pay up to 3.12. Geez.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Yeah, yeah. So that's because Heritage Auction is the one doing this. And so, you know, it's their fee for doing all the transaction and the auction and all of that stuff. That's a massive fee. Yeah. That's almost a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:34:02 No, it's about... It's like seven... Yeah, that's a racket, man. It's just a comic book. Well, anyway... It's just a comic. I mean, forget about that. Thanks for just missing my whole purpose for living.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Well, no. See, here's what I mean. It sounds like my dad when I was 14. Here's what I mean. This transaction, there's no way. Well, what do they have to do, have like a bunch of security and do weird shit around this or something? Maybe they do. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I mean, yes. I mean, they will ship it to you or they will have, you know, curry it to you or you can come pick it up. Or like many art scams, it may just sit in a warehouse for the rest of its life until it's sold again. Right. Exactly. Being guarded by top men. Yes. Oh, sad news.
Starting point is 00:34:50 that guy just died. He did. See, we told it after he died. Yeah, see? It's not always. Hey, look at that. No, everything's fine. Sometimes their death triggers us.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Yeah. So is this a case of one of those where this went into hiding for a while and now cropped up again for resale? Or no? It is one that this one has not been sold before. The last time that a Superman comic was for sale was an 8.0. Yeah. And that was a couple of years ago. went for, I want to say, five million.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Jeez. And so, yeah, this one, this one's going to go really well. I don't know the providence of this. I mean, it could have literally been kept in someone's hermetically sealed, you know, iron lung for the last 50 years. Yeah. So that is one of the things that people can certainly go check out over at the Heritage Auction websites.
Starting point is 00:35:42 If someone is interested in bidding on this, first of all, Patreon.com slash frogpants, right? First of all, second of all, the auction doesn't take place until November, so there's still time for people to save up the money. I'm going to bet that this goes for at least five and a half, maybe $7 million. Oh, man, I wish I had this comic. I know. I mean, I myself would prefer action comics, but I don't think that Nicholas Cage is going to be able to bid on this one. No. No.
Starting point is 00:36:12 He's had to sell his collection over the years. Yeah. But, yeah, this is a pretty exciting, rare comic to go up on the auction. and block. Yeah, even comics I've ever heard, I'm just looking at some of their other listings. They have one here for Phantom Lady, which I think is a DC thing. Oh, yeah, that's a gold age comic. Yeah, she later became
Starting point is 00:36:29 you would know her when Charleston was sold over to DC Comics and a little comic called Watchman. The Silk Spector is based on Phantom Lady. Oh, I didn't know that. That's awesome. Yeah. Now, that is a great cover. That is one of the covers that
Starting point is 00:36:45 was used during the the juvenile delinquent hearing on comic books as a reason why these comic books are too sexy for the kids yeah 16 grand for an 8.0 not bad I mean that's not bad current bid yeah or truly closer to 90 grand if you're paying the damn auction house their exorbitant fee good lord I don't know why that annoys me so much it's so much yeah it is a lot the shitty split I mean there's got to be lots of insurance and a lot of other things that have to go go on
Starting point is 00:37:17 with these just because here's a $10,000 Batman number two. Yeah, yeah. I was going to say, so are there no action comics number ones that are this high? Because I would assume that that would then become the most valuable. Yeah, that would be the most valuable, but there is not anything that is
Starting point is 00:37:33 that high. I mean, that we know of, right? Somebody could still have something hidden somewhere like you said or, you know, some old... Yeah, I mean, so let me take that back. There are two 9.0s that are out there that are in private hands. Yeah. Okay. But to find another No, I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Again, you've got to remember that. This was disposable media in the day. You read them, you threw them away, you shared them with friends. Or when it did come to the time of the Comics Code Authority, many moms just heard about how awful these comics were, thanks to Frederick Wortham, and just went into kids' bedrooms and threw them all away in the trash bin or lit them on fire. Yeah. Well, that was the way of it, man.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Too bad they didn't understand. Okay, now I'm feeling... commodities back in the 1950s. I'm feeling some real nostalgia and desire to go back to the early 90s. Might I find today that a X-Men rip-off known as Youngblood is coming back? Is that what's going on? Yes, actually, Rob Leifeld's Youngblood is returning to comics in December. And as a lead-up to it, they are definitely giving you a flashback to your 90s
Starting point is 00:38:39 by releasing over 30 variant covers for this series. That's crazy. Some of them are specific to comic shops, but some of them are just, you know, covering other titles. They also do that where you might have like a Walking Dead issue that'll have a Youngblood variant on that. So you'll be look out between now and December for all these Youngblood variants at your comic book store. The other thing that I kind of want to get now, these are not included in this story because, you know, everybody loves Youngblood. So everyone's already aware of Youngblood coming back and all of that. But the variant cover craze has taken a different turn in the last year.
Starting point is 00:39:21 And it has been somewhat profitable for the comic book companies and possibly the comic book stores. And that is this notion of a blind bag variant cover. So imagine that they're, remember back in Gen 13 had like 13 different variant colors back in the day. And everybody wanted the Janet Jackson ripoff cover. Imagine if all of those were all bagged. in a black Mylar bag, and they just said gin 13 on it, and you don't know which one you were going to get. You didn't have the choice of getting that.
Starting point is 00:39:52 People love the blind boxes. Led Zeppelin's in through the outdoor. The album came in a brown paper sleeves, so you didn't know which album cover, and there were multiple different ones that you could get. Or it's like the blind bags of the Lego figures that I had to go with with the Spider-Man stuff. And I'm just curious what your guys' thoughts are on this.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Well, it's interesting because the blind bag, blind box thing, is nothing, obviously nothing new. And right now, what are those Japanese plushy things called Nabuboos or? Oh, Labuboos. Labibu. Those are a great example of this. You don't know what you're getting until you open it. There are massive fan bases around unboxing videos for those.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Like, that kind of stuff is as big as ever. Even though gamers have kind of poo-poot on the whole idea of loot boxes, because that's really all this is is loot boxes and not knowing what you're going to get. You're rolling the dice. But I think in the physical world, there's something to be. said for it. Magic the Gathering people have been doing this for decades. So they're used to the sort of thing. Applying it to comics, I mean, I don't know if I, I guess if I'm in to get them all. Yeah, why not? I guess. Why not? I mean, I would rather, here's what I would like to do,
Starting point is 00:41:01 go into a store and buy the comic and read the damn thing. Yeah. I don't care so much about collecting every variant cover unless I'm a massive fan of Youngblood or something else. Then maybe I do that, I can't think of any comic where I've tried to get every variant cover. No, none. Yeah, and if you're trying, normally, you just say, oh, I'll buy the one with the cover I want. But this is saying, it's not a young version or something. That's problematic because comic book stores have, and publishers do this, where they will send one-to-one variants, meaning for every normal cover that you buy, you can get another one of the one.
Starting point is 00:41:44 one variant that they have. So basically you can have either cover A or cover B for your, your customers. Then they have things like one and five. So for every five of the normal comic that you buy, you get one of the variant cover. And so that increases the value of that one variant because, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:01 if you've got 10 customers, that means that you're going to have to spend like you have to buy 50 regulars just to cover your 10 customers. Right. And then they have some like the Jim Lees, which are 100 to 1. or 1,000 to 1. And the idea behind some of these higher rarities on these variant covers is that the comic book store will order, you know, 100 or 200 or 1,000 of the original comics so they can get that one Jim Lee variant.
Starting point is 00:42:29 And then they can turn around and they can sell that variant for $4,000, $600,000 to kind of cover the cost of the original covers that they bought. With the blind bags, my understanding is they have removed the incentive. You know, every cover could be a one-to-one. You don't know which one is going to be the Jim Lee variant. Or you don't know which one will be the Rob Leifeld exclusive All-Pocket Edition cover. Sure, sure. And so you are going in literally gambling on which cover you're going to get. And maybe you will get the really cool one, the really cool Jim Lee one.
Starting point is 00:43:07 And maybe you'll get the Rob-Lyft. This is it so funny. I knew you were going to make a stab at La Rob Blyfield, but I thought it would be about the feet or maybe the proportions. The chest or some other kind of bad Leifeld reference. I knew we're talking Youngblood. Yeah, but you did the third awesome category, which is pockets. That guy loved having pockets on everything. Oh, right. All the pockets like poor Cyclops in his most recent uniform had like 45 little pockets on his thing.
Starting point is 00:43:35 What does he keep in there? He's only got one visor. Yeah. And I guess, you know, he created Youngbloods. he gets the credit he deserves but of course you want the jim lee ones you know that's what i mean i like to give rob lifeld a lot of crap but he has taken a lot of crap and he comes out still smiling he does and i'm i really appreciate him for that yeah he's still a far better artist than i could ever have a chance to be so yeah whatever yeah i mean i can't even draw feet everybody's got
Starting point is 00:43:58 everybody's got their thing mike zek can't draw feet by the way but uh that's a whole different story it's a whole different thing mike zek um i was gonna i was gonna i was gonna say that uh he what was i going to say oh the young blood thing in general though like i remember the 90s even feeling a little bit like there's a little paper thin it's obviously just this new startup image comics trying to kind of riff on the whole mutine team thing yeah and then i kind of discounted it i'll be honest have i missed out or is there like a pantheon of content i need to consume and also jim lee can do this his head of dc just like take i don't know if he's i'm just using jim lee as an example i don't know who's all Who are all the artists on this?
Starting point is 00:44:40 They do have some really big artists that people would know doing these. So that's something to look out for. Sure. But typically, Jim Lee is very behind on many of his things. So the only stuff that he is doing is DC-related. And Hush. I know Hush is still supposed to. Hush, too, or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Hush, too, someday we'll be done. Gosh, dang, dude. I feel like I'm waiting for, I don't even know what. What's something that takes too long? Everything. You're taking too long. He's taking too long. The death of the universe.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Yeah. The death of the universe. Yeah, you go. I feel like I'm waiting for the death of the universe with him. Hurry up. I want hush. More hush should be great. More hush is good hush.
Starting point is 00:45:17 I guess my biggest concern, I have frustrations with blind bags and blind boxes. I guess my concern is there are so many companies that are doing 30 variant covers, 27 variant covers. And now this blind bag stuff, which has been a big, big success for both DC and Marvel. I, man, I get the shivers of the cold specter of the 90s looking over at me and the entire collapse of the comic book industry is just around the corner. But, you know, we're doing much better than we were back in the 90s, still over a billion dollar a year industry. So maybe it's nothing but, you know, old people, old people shouting at the clouds. But I don't know. It's a weird specter of chaos there.
Starting point is 00:46:03 It really is, yeah. It would be interesting to see. I kind of want to catch up and see what that. going on over there because i i i was a big early image guy i thought that was rebellious and awesome i was super into it i still have i do still have all those issues like i think i bought because they came out with like six number ones of the same month and i'm like you know what i'm gonna pick up all these ended up continuing gen 13 and then there was another one uh danger wild storm danger girl well that was later danger girl was later okay it was good though
Starting point is 00:46:31 it was really you know spawn yeah i collected spawn all the way up to like issue 100 i still have those oh really wow i collected didn't stop i think it probably 10 or 20 i went all through the the capulow i don't know when capulow took over for art but that's really when i glommed on to him and he's that he's now like all-time artist i freaking love gregg capulow's work but that guy's in his 60s let that sink in wow the hell's out about um Well, anyway, hey, one final thing. I know how much you love Zazlav and the work he's doing over there at Warner Brothers. That guy's going to exit this thing with $500 million.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Yeah, he's going to golden parachute himself into retirement. But anyway, here's another reason that you believe people should cancel their HBO Mac service. They're about to dump a ton of Superman content, among other things. But DC animated Superman films that are some of the best in the business. Red Sun is something that you. you even like recommendal because just recently is so good dude yeah it's really good so there are a bunch and i will argue that the dc animated movies are better than most of the live action films that that dc has released but as of sunday or saturday you'll no longer be able to watch
Starting point is 00:47:46 batman superman battle of the supersons superman superman superman batman public enemies superman man of tomorrow which is a really good i think a really good take yeah superman red sun superman unbound the death and re and reign of the Superman. That's a two-part movie that basically covers the death and rebirth of Superman. And then the live action Shazam with Zachary Levi that is also going out. I don't know
Starting point is 00:48:09 if that one's such a big deal. It feels so such a weird like one of these things is not like the other, right? Yeah. Although I will say, my youngest son I took him to Shazam and he loved that movie. That is a really good movie. Yeah, it's good. It's just somewhat problematic because of the person who's in it.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Yeah, but also, it's also just I don't think it's a giant draw. So what ends up happening is I think this is the other thing I've noticed. A lot of HBO but Warner's brother's stuff in general has been showing up on other services. So Tube's got a bunch of stuff right now. I want to say
Starting point is 00:48:40 I saw animated stuff over on Fubo or something. But anyway, the point is like I think that whether this goes all the way to top or not, what they're seeing here is an opportunity to spread it around a little bit and make money off licensing. But I still think that stuff should just stay in its home.
Starting point is 00:48:56 At least. Do the other thing. Go ahead. License it out. There are times where I can get certain shows. Like, there are HBO shows that are always on HBO, like six feet under. But I can also go, I don't know where I saw it, but somewhere like Tooby and watch six feet under. You can do both things. Keep them and share them and make your money both ways. Why not? Yes. I think, though, that the money, the licensing thing is the big thing right now is they can make a bunch of money off of licensing the Superman craze to whoever they're licensing it to. Now, we don't know. if they're actually doing that, or if they're just like, hey, our server space is getting really, really crowded with all the Zazlov pictures that we want to save. And we've got to get rid of the Superman stuff. Yeah, yeah. You love him, dude.
Starting point is 00:49:40 You want to, you want to make out with him. This is the problem with, this is a problem when you have an NBA. Yeah, you love him. I want to give him the kiss of death. That's what I want to give him. He sucks, clearly. He's like the least favorite of these media. The problem is you should never have an NBA.
Starting point is 00:49:56 who has never worked on a film set a day in their life, run a major studio. Yeah. It's very different if the person had their MBA has worked in the industry prior to becoming the head of a movie studio. That's a little bit different. Yeah. You know, as problematic as his best friend is, Brian Robbins, who was in charge of Paramount, the kid stuff, all the Nickelodeon stuff. Yeah. He would have been perfect to head Warner Brothers.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Oh, yeah. He would have been perfect to head Paramount. But he has since left because of this merger with Skydance. Yeah, not happy about it. Yeah. So he was, he, if you don't know who Brian Robbins is, I know Scott and Brian do because we were raised on head of the class and, and all of that other stuff. But he ushered in all of your favorite teenage mutant Ninja Turtle stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:45 All of your Icarlies and your, your shows that you love growing up, he gave new life to Nickelodeon for years, Good Burger. If you're a fan of Good Burger. you know, Saturday Night Live can thank him for that. Yeah. So it's just, you know, he was really great. And then you got Zazlov. He's like, yeah, I just got an NBA and I love movies.
Starting point is 00:51:07 So put me in the head of the studio. There's this ancient myth that if somebody comes in from something unrelated or untrained, they're somehow disrupting in a positive way. And it's been this way since my first recollection of this was when, well, even before that, when Jobs was replaced by the board by the Pepsie executive. guy yeah and I went Pepsi like I get it you come in and go I got all this experience running Pepsi and I
Starting point is 00:51:32 think I can really turn things around in the computer world why and then they do this all the time we have a sorry everybody but our current presidential administration is filled with people not qualified for their jobs because people on the outside go oh but they're disrupting the norms
Starting point is 00:51:47 they're coming in with the thing and it's really going to disrupt it's shut up I want people with experience and the thing you're supposed to be good at that's it yes it's not I will, I will say there is some arguments to be made about coming in and throwing in some disruption, but it can't be from the top down. It has to be either from the middle or the low up. Right. If the guy who's going to disrupting from the top, you're just going to be in trouble.
Starting point is 00:52:11 If you're going to set your whole vision from a guy who worked at Pepsi, I just, and your goal is to just climb the mountain of sugar water the rest of his life. It's so effed up. I never understand why people do it that way. But whatever, Zazlav, enjoy your giant golden parachute when you go. Ugh. Well, Stephen. Until then, cancel your HBO match. Yeah, until then, give him no more money.
Starting point is 00:52:35 What are you doing these days on major spoilers that the people at home should hear about? We are covering all of the new comic book releases. Of course, we do the Major Spoilers podcast where we talk about all this stuff and more. You can check that out at Major Spoilers.com. And even though it is cold outside, it's still dry. so make sure you stay hydrated. Oh, I think I can probably manage that. See you next time.
Starting point is 00:52:59 All right, Brian, we're going to take us out with a quick email. Sounds good. Just happened out some vodka right here, so I'm hydrating. Very nice. Yeah. Somebody had, what was that? I didn't know, this is my, I have so bad knowledge of drinking stuff, so this is probably totally a usual thing and everyone knows it already.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Sure, sure. But I didn't know you could just make them flavored, like a peach flavored. flavored vodkas, yeah. Yeah, I thought the vodka always had to be in there and then you'd flavor it other ways. You can, like some of your purists would rather get like a gray goose
Starting point is 00:53:33 unflavored vodka and then just do their own flavoring to it. But a peach vodka, as you mention it, with orange juice, then for Kastikin' or with a citrus sprite. Peach vodka is one of the better ones.
Starting point is 00:53:49 I won't get flavored gins. It has to be gin. It has to be gin flavored. Oh, and what is gin flavored like? Juniper berries usually. Oh, okay. Didn't realize I had a flavor. It tastes like a pine, like a pine tree is what it tastes like. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Yeah. I learned something today. Yeah, but vodka's you get flavored. Usually your rums are spiced or unspiced, so you don't really get flavored rum. I take that back. Bacardi is all about the flavors. So they've got pineapple rum and coconut rum and all that stuff. All the base liquor, liqueurs, whatever, they have flavor versions if you want.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Pretty much, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I've got some really good from Cracken rum. I've got some really good black coffee flavored rum, which is caffeinated, so you can't do it late at night. But it's really, really good. Caffinated booze. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Whoa. Yeah. How, okay, one final question about that. Sure. What about, um, uh, everyone talks about how gross tequila is. Can you flavor tequila? You, you, I think you can. I only ever hear about the three, like you've got silver, aneho, and reposado and there's a, there might be a fourth one. Anejo. Or is Anejo silver? No. Silver or white. Anejo, repasado. Um, oh, they have rosé, oh, rosé tequila. right there's that it's actually called tequila rose or something yeah you can flavor
Starting point is 00:55:22 flavor and the rosé is tastes like a that flavor is like a wine style flavor i don't know what rosé is more like rosy is typically a wine but this is more like a it's not rosé in the in the form of rosé it's like it's called rose tequila rose comes in a black bottle and has like a almost like a strawberry cream flavor to it if i ever run a brothel in the southwest i'm I'm going to hire a lady named Tequila Rose to run the place. I think she'd have to wear, she'll wear a black boostier and have her hair up in a bun with a, with needles. 100%.
Starting point is 00:55:59 That she could stab somebody if they mess with her. And she won't be that old, but she'll be old enough to kind of not be in the prime of the brothel ladies. Correct. She'll be very, she'll have so much wisdom and experience. She'll have a very sophisticated beauty to her. Yeah. She'll be very elegant and beautiful that way. and have a good sophistication. Yeah, and when the reluctant cowboy type guy,
Starting point is 00:56:21 the kind of brooding guy comes into town, he's not really into, he doesn't partake. He still misses his wife from the terrible accident. Exactly. But she somehow, he and her create a kind of attention together, a thing. She's right.
Starting point is 00:56:34 And she, you know, she'll actually break the rules and go into a room with him just to talk, just to talk and, and give him a shoulder to cry on. And no buffy-fifky goes out in that room. That's right.
Starting point is 00:56:45 This will all be before Red Duke and his clan come into town and try to kill everybody. I'm so excited for this. Can't wait for the Sora videos of all this. Yeah, I know.

A single female can lay around 30,000 eggs, so this method has long kept populations down. The U.S. runs a barrier program in Central America, but a recent breach let some screw flies slip north.

What I believe has happened here is he's found a technological way to search old episodes and find where you and I say something a lot. And he's found every time I say weaners or some reference to a weiner.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I'm guessing that is a lot of content. Well, it's at least 14 minutes. It's going to be a ton of content. It would be like if he found all my absolutes. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. And one day he should.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Go find. Yeah. Find all my absolutes. Yeah. And then find every time. Or desk. People like to make fun of how much I used to use the phrase, ask. You don't really do that anymore.

But Dead or Alive, you spin me right around, did do a cover of Casey and the Sunshine Band.

I don't want to accidentally touch prep boy penis. Accidental penis is the worst. Nobody wants accidental penis. All the Cheetos I get look like penises.
Starting point is 01:08:11 You walk around naked and flopping your doodle around. Apparently I'm going to draw a orange phallus, giant orange spray-painted penis, male phallus, as they say. And then I'm going to say, that's my thing. Slop some Kentucky jelly between them mud flaps and go in. Oh, shoot. That's horrible. That is horrible.

Dung, don't know what I said. Dung. Yeah, don't know what I said. Literally, she thought it was a bag of dick. Yeah, she thought it was a bag of dicks.
Starting point is 01:09:19 It's totally normal to have a detachable penis, so don't stress about it. Is that what he told you, or how'd that go? Somebody figured out of an asky penis, real good. I'm sure he could. It's not even a really good one, though. I mean, it's like, uh, tell me what your definition. of a really good one is. You know, you can say that that's a rocket
Starting point is 01:09:33 taking off from Cape Canaveral at an angle. Weiner check, weiner check. Brian has a scab on his penis. The next one is Satan's penis. Your limp, limp, finis, penis. I got this by a diabolical weiner. There you go. Sure did.

If you want to watch an 85-year-old guy with his little shriveled up ding-bang, rolling around in a jello-filled hot tub, fine.

We found a nut on the Amazon floor that when you process it, it causes your penis to grow 55 feet longer than he used to. Harry, your owl has an angry inch. He's got a very angry, very small micro penis. Native American for penis. You should have typed in Cherokee nuts.

Starting point is 01:12:44 I was talking about his ear area. Oh, his ear area. You'll go full dick if you have to. Exactly. I can't. I have a boner. As soon as we have something firmed up. Boner.

Starting point is 01:13:24 Old dong. Long dong, big dong, all military dong. And I was like, oh, man, this is the life I'm going to have. We're just going to be thrown down in the shower. Just dongs out. I'm like, I'm out. My giant man genitator, yeah. Something that comes out of a cocking gun next to each weener is an amazing phrase to hear out of context.

Starting point is 01:14:02 But my weaner's out. Are you as turned on as I am? I think Clinton probably would not. He'd probably say, can I put my penis in its corpse? Then no way. Don't stop the car. Oh, my good God. Jesus Christ.

Starting point is 01:14:25 The boner's all right. It's a good, you know. Compared to the rest of those things, sure. By the way. Maybe not call them weird boners because maybe unexpected boners because the boner itself, there's nothing weird about it. Well, yeah, no, you're right. It just turns it into a 90-degree angle.
Starting point is 01:14:41 It's weird. What a weird boner. Now, that would be weird. Anyway. Surprise boner. I like that term. There you go. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:14:46 Oh, surprise. Yeah. A surprise boner. Yeah. I don't like surprises, but that one's all right. That one's okay. I remember one jumped out from behind the couch. Surprise!
Starting point is 01:14:53 It's me. A boner. I'm a surprise boner. It's like a penis, see? Yeah. Pulling off a penis. We try to just make it our weaners, but sometimes it's physical objects. Well, it's my dick, I pick. Yeah, see?

Starting point is 01:16:27 I got a boner. Shut up, Dale, I'm having sex. Video is circulating of a man who appears to use his unit as a paddle to hit a table tennis ball, and it is a great return. And lest you think his schlong-wielding shotmaker is an anatomical aberration on the internet, think again. Players like this are so dong-gone good, they don't even need to grip the bat. And it's comforting to know that if they lose a ball, they have a spare on them.
Starting point is 01:16:54 I got one more. Nothing like bringing your own equipment. Oh, geez. Yeah, I'm going to touch my peepee, so it feels like someone else. My hand is not going to touch my peepee. He had a weiner outline in his pants that I could see. Oh, yeah. What choice did it have?
Starting point is 01:17:10 Yeah, where are we going to go? Brian out the most. I can just imagine this. It's just like pressed against the pants going, oh, oh, let me out of here. Oh, my spurned, breathe. Oh, the weiner, Dick Weiner. Do it like me. wrap multiple patches, cigarette patches on your junk, and then get all the nicotine you need.

Starting point is 01:17:38 All the fossils that they found had weeners. Well, half. When they found early man, like chromagnin, sure. Mummified man. Did he have like a shriveled-up mummy weaner? Of course. How do you know for sure, though? I want someone to look and see.
Starting point is 01:17:51 If prehistoric. The phrase the story is, you know, Neanderthal man was born without junk. I think more than Mulder would be questioning the origin of man. Yeah, he wants to believe. He wants to believe. If you're going to cut off a penis, please make sure the knife is super sharp because that's not something you want to have to do twice. Oh, hold on.
Starting point is 01:18:09 Oh, that looks like it hurts. Let me go see if I can find something sharp. I should have brought something a little more sharp. Why didn't we do this in the kitchen? Ryan Nibbitt has confirmed he will have his wiener out the entire three days. Nobody doesn't like a fighting penis. Penises are freaking funny. Look, I do it on this show all the time, so I get it.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Use the term caucus to describe genitalia. We have a really big caucus coming up. It's a riot. It's just a hoot. Thanks for reminding me with that giant uncut manwiener I had to stare at for five minutes. No more, please. I didn't stare at for five minutes. Oh, there's a giant uncut manwiener as well.
Starting point is 01:18:43 Oh, yeah. See, this is where you get people right and you emails, though, Scott. It's because you get very descriptive when you talk about it. And instead of just going, I think maybe there's too much sex in this. You go, as a giant uncut man-weener, people go. Well, he's just hung up on the man-weiner. No, you're right.
Starting point is 01:19:00 He's saying it's about all this sex stuff, but then he's talking about uncut man-ween. No, you've tab- There's a giant uncut for JJ, too? No, I don't know what that would be, but no. Boy, you sure talk a lot about weeners for a guy doesn't like seeing him. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network.
