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.
Complaining like a nanny.
Seven-day elbow zit.
Paranormal tape activity.
Soup season.
Turn-based Skype.
What takes too long?
Everything.
Mmm. Velvety.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
yeah yeah cransston won four times as walter white also also perfectly well deserved
Oh, yeah, four out of six or whatever.
It's interesting on this.
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.
Yeah.
Yep.
So congratulations, Scott, with six points.
You are the winner.
And that means,
uh, don't say it ain't so, Joe.
What I guess?
So scroll down here.
There is right there.
Um, there it is right there.
Theater monkey.
Joe, you're getting a copy of golf gang.
That's a favorite of yours.
I remember you're talking a lot about that.
Golf gang is awesome.
It is a great multiplayer golf thing, and you should play a golf gang.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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%.
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,
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.
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.
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.
People do that.
They'll hear us say shit on a Monday and by Tuesday there's like 10 Sora videos talking about it.
I love it.
You guys keep that coming.
And by the way, I'm following any time one of you does something dumb on there, I follow you all.
So keep doing it because I love to see what you're up to.
Quick email.
This came to us, or it's a text actually from voicecast.
dot app slash tMS you can also find it on the website uh this is dustin ward from kansas at two o'clock in the
morning he told us oh geez okay hey scott and brian about those screw flies uh or screw worms he says
most maggots eat dead flesh but these eat live flesh especially especially in cattle that's awful
uh scientists found that releasing sterilized males works because females made only once stopping reproduction
a single male or sorry single female once is a single white female a single white female a single white
female. 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.
This new release is an emergency
push to stop them before they reach
Mexico and Texas. Been doing it
for years, just ramping up now, says Dustin at
2 o'clock in the morning in Kansas.
Yeah, you know,
I mean, I can't wait for the Pixar animated
film about these flies, slip in north.
you know and they find they find love or whatever they do
I love that it's well it's a new release
the 2.0 screw worms
far better than the 1.0 definitely want to get the upgrade
yeah they squash the bugs as it were
thank you for that
keep your messages coming to that service and or our email
which is the morning stream at gmail.com

Now, where's that happy kid?
You just heard somebody fart, I think is what that, what that is.
I went on for another 20 minutes.
That's the short version.
Right.
Exactly.
I don't know where that kid is, but I don't feel like I'm him anymore.
Anyway, moving on to this.
Oh, quick note, there will be a mashup today.
Now, it's going to be, I'm warning you now.
This is a 14-minute mashup.
So you have full rights as a listener to skip it.
It's only in the audio version of the pocket.
I won't be here on YouTube.
You can skip it if you want to, but I'll tell you what it is.
Yeah, you may not want to.
I don't know.
It's the weiner special.
He's calling it bigger, longer, and uncut.
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.
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.
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.
No, no.
It's very Springsteen-esque.
I've curbed that behavior.
And now it's very Springsteen-like.
Oh, good.
I like it. Well, anyway, check out the weiner special coming up after the song if you are inclined to do so. And if not, I understand completely. Thanks, Jamie for that. That's going to do it for us. Frogpants.com slash TMS for all your needs. Brian, why don't we play a song on our way out today? Okay. Thorgan wrote in. Wow, he reached out all the way back in August.

Um, this time I'm going 50 years back.
Let's go to November of 1975 and, uh, one of the big songs of the number one song on
the chart on the latter half of the month was that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.
Uh-huh, by Casey and the Sunshine band.
Yeah.
Uh, let's hear a cover of it.
And, um, I don't know.
Let's think about some 80s band that, uh, maybe is known for a one-hit wonder.
Um, let's say the band dead or alive.
Has dead or alive ever done a cover of Casey?
and the Sunshine Band, that's the way I like it.
Well, as a matter of fact, in 2010, they did.
I don't know why.
But Dead or Alive, you spin me right around, did do a cover of Casey and the Sunshine Band.
They actually included it on their 2010 Greatest Hits album as a bonus track,
which made people buy that stupid album just for the cover song.
Wild.
Not me.
Not you.
Here is Dead or Alive, and that's the way I like it.
Keep that, keep that, keep that, that body strong.
Keep that, keep that, keep that.
But it's strong.
Keep that, keep that, keep that.
That's the way.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.

The journey through the penis
Dudes with their wieners out
Definitely not that.
Dang it.
That's bonerific.
Wait, what?
Check here if you'd like to see a picture of my penis.
No.
I love dick.
Let me bring out the meth addict to measure your penis face.
Her buttocks making contact with this penis.
How's your boner?
Is it big enough?
With friends like that, who needs a larger penis?
Has anyone seen Agent penis?
But if you come in with all Dick's blazing, F off.
Could you draw my flaccid...
Fashid penis?
My flashed wiener.
When I was younger...
re-refered to it as the old worm.
Fulconnery wiener?
I thought we got full Connery Wiener.
This is my penis.
Was it his weiner?
Did they manner it by his...
That's all CGE.
Yeah, but was it like mo-capped weiner?
Do we know?
Like they had little dots,
like a little ping-pong ball tape to his wiener.
Yeah, like little ping-pong dots on his wiener.
If it wasn't his, it was somebody's, that's for sure.
Clark, there's a huge weir.
It's blue and it's coming our way.
People in power.
Put your wiener back where belongs.
Mongcock.
Moncock.
Oh, yeah.

He's snipped my wiener.
He cut your noodle off and he also went to the same place.
I don't know churchy stuff.
No, but we both went to circumcision, which makes me laugh.
Yeah, we do.
I want to put a USB stick in his pee hole.
I don't want to throw your entire wiener-shaped state under the bus.
We're one being mild and kind of a wiener sauce, right?
Okay.
We've taken our picture with weeners out.
That's right.
Weeners out, everybody.
Take that.
Honestly, it's just his penis.
It's just weiner.
A guy with a thing on his penis.
This is actually a preserved tissue-based weaner.
Do you really need to?
dig into his big foot penis fetish?
I don't like dicks.
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.
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.
That's awful.
It seems like you got a winning ticket here.
I don't know why you're doubling down on Bigfoot's wang.
It's like a solid shaft of plastic or porcelain, I don't know, but a shaft and then like a little hood at the bottom.
Correct.
A little bulbous hood at the bottom.
Okay.
I'm not describing a penis chat room.
I was just going to say, we just got the explicit tag.
Thank you, iTunes.
Gosh, dang it.
It's been alleged that 14,000 women say Tom Hanks slapped him in the forehead with his penis.
Or you can staple my penis to a rock.
Just a string of wieners.
Sure. Weiner, weiner, weiner, weiner.
I'll do a commercial about Bigfoot's dick. It'll be huge.
Accidentally clicked, like on a dick pick.
A bunch of penises, then a couple penises crossing, and then a single penis.
None of those weaners were satisfying.
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.
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
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.
About 11.30 p.m.
Wieners out.
I was able to achieve a full boner at 23 minutes in.
Yeah, the alligator Mississippi penis.
How do you say that?
Florida is a particular alligator.
One of them is alligator
Mississippi penis
Piences
Opeensis
Mississippiensis
Anti put a hot
coat hanger in my penis hole
You'd have to whip out his wiener
And smack a dog in the face
All right well whatever
Get my chicken sandwich
Well do what I do
Just pull out your penis
And start ordering your big Mac with that
That's uh
So wait
Do you use that on the screen
You just flop it up there
And start smacking on the options
Yeah but I can only order
From the bottom two thirds of the menu
Oh really?
Because I can get to the top
Really oh that's too bad
Maverick, I need you to show me that penis.
Viagra plant fumes.
It says they're giving all the men and dogs boners.
Don't look at your dad's junk.
I want to grab them by the weaner and flay them.
I don't know why I need their wiener for that.
Oh, there's a guy I want to punch in the deck.
To get away from this guy who's doodling with his bing-bong.
We're going to find out that the guy who runs Comcast has got his wiener out right now as far as we know.
Did he show you his wiener?
No, no weaners.
Not that I'm aware of.
His penis are so small.
How small was it?
There's like a couple of raisin' it's in it, red vine.
Are you prepared to receive my limp, limp, penis, penis?
I have a huge nose and I must distract from it.
Look at my penis.
Yeah, a pair of legs, a crotch, and a weaner.
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.
So I was thinking later, we could hang out on the whatever deck
and freaking you could take a look at my penis.
I need to search for penis later.
I put a bottle rocket in my penis.
I have a boner in my car's cool, and that girl's sure pretty.
Hanging upside down, dickpick.
Yep, perfect.
Kissing Mary Jane Watson, dick pick.
Dick pick.
Dick pick.
Beating up Docock, dick pick.
There's a dude with a giant whale penis coming out of his forehead.
Walking around with his wiener going, yeah, this is what we do.
We're too hot.
We've got to go down with our weeners.
Anime boobs.
My boner is coming.
Oh, a penis.
Right.
It'd be very, very...
Oh, penis.
Oh, no, a penis.
Oh, honey, stop the car.
There's a penis.
Oh, there's a penis.
Everyone, no one likes a penis.
That's plant penis.
That's plant for penis.
Plant penis.
This plant has all the penises.
Science.
This plant has all the penises.
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.
If they ask you,
Well, my tires on my car.
This is my favorite song by share, by the way.
Oh, Cherokee nuts, I know.
That's right.
Cherokee nuts.
Penis.
What's the word?
Penis.
It's a nine mile long penis.
It's really a long, oh, wow.
They really go, they go deep.
Is it just the earlobes?
Just the earlobs.
Well, he's got a big penis.
But other than that, his earlobes are the most obvious visual.
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.
Oh, my gosh.
Look at that wean.
on that. What is the one guy doing on the
What's he doing with it? Look, there's this one guy
who's balancing like a candle holder
on his erect dong. Yeah?
Yeah. There's another one who looks like he was
smoking and then he felt like, well,
my dong needs a hit too, so
it's this guy who's like
clearly redefining the term
choking the chicken. Okay. Well,
look at the balancing guy. He's like,
well, I use it for reproduction
peeing and holding up my
notes for the theater.
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.
Let's just say it had to do with the penis.
Let's get to do do do do do do.
Maybe he's got a little bit of a penis fish generator.
I'm going to drop some penis fish.
Penis Fish.
On the East Coast.
Grab me by the peen and never let go.
I had to go into podcasting because my penis was too large for television.
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.
This one took a good turn.
I touch my weiner and gym today.
Well, now Peter.
It's a sad.
Keep going.
It's the sad Brady Much music.
Hey, there's so many naked ladies.
let's have more man-weener.
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.
It's weird.
What a weird boner.
Now, that would be weird.
Anyway.
Surprise boner.
I like that term.
There you go.
Thank you.
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!
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?
He'd take his weiner out and go,
Take a look at this!
One day, my gig will be up, too, jig.
I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
I know. I love the ladies.
I am wearing pants, but the zippers down and my weiner is out.
So I keep my wiener out all the time.
The wiener is out.
I mean, it's not on camera.
Thank goodness, right, Chaproom.
You don't have to see that.
my wiener is out.
That's right.
The second camera
we've thankfully
got turned off
right now.
No penis is out.
Nope.
Penises put away.
Put away your penises.
You look like a penis.
Ha ha ha.
Some kid in high school was 15
and he's just always getting boners and stuff.
And now he's 30.
And he probably doesn't get near as many boners.
What's the cutoff date before you eat the,
the rhino penis or whatever you have to eat?
By the end,
rhino penis.
Those are big.
I need like a whole,
I need a whole Thanksgiving.
I was thinking more like something small.
What's the one with the guys, Wiener, got cut off from the snow?
Right.
Wiener Man cut off, man.
Three-named guy.
Billy Bob Thornton.
No, Jimmy John's sandwich.
Philip P. Marco.
I don't know.
What the heck was his name?
He had three names.
You're right, though.
Bob, Bobby, Billy Bob.
Bobby Dale.
Bobby Dale Thornton.
Jimmy Bob.
See how quickly our chat room comes up with it.
Bobbly, Bobbitt.
John Wayne Bobbitt.
Yes.
And it has to do it, my daughter.
Put your wiener in my daughter.
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.
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?
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.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Do that.
This bug has a 99 million-year-old wiener.
Well, specifically an erection.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Still is wiener, though.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes.
