Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Monday, December 29th, 2025. I am Scott Johnson. That is Brian Ibbott. Hello, Brian.

Mr. Johnson is so good to be back. It's good to be back. I really did miss this stuff. A week off is weird here. It is weird. And it's funny because I kind of took the week off a little bit more seriously. I didn't do, I did a couple days of daily music headlines. I had to do Coverville because it's,

of year. I can't take the last two weeks of Coverville off. Right. But everything else was kind of like, you know, no freelance and stuff. I look over Ah, Scott's still doing the Monday show, still doing court. It's like, well, you're just taking a week off from me? No, no. I'll tell you what was nice. It was

nice to be able to chill and have breakfast every morning with my wife, which I never do, normally. Mellow morning. Yeah, nice mellow mornings were nice. Don't get used to it. We're back. Yeah, we're back. you guys we'll see you next december on that yeah uh yeah it was nice it was a nice little uh time for for me to get a bunch of crap done in the mornings that i normally don't have time for so that

was nice um but yeah i still had core we couldn't avoid because end of year yeah you have to do your end of year exactly and monday show's easy because it's just carter and i dorking off right um the hardest one is probably play retro because i have to try to do a bunch of research oh right on your that's true yeah so that's fun but uh but i had fun tuning in for that actually i tuned in for that while i worked on some uh worked on the millennium falcon oh sweet you still filming that as you do it or how's that i did not film this last batch but i've but because i just i just redid the whole lab so one of the things that i did took advantage of the week and said all right i've got my lab over there which is the 3d printers the airbrush

place the the place where i do painting uh uh kind of a shipping like where i box up things to ship out to people and um it's been basically it's like it's been a hodgepodge it's like okay uh i've got this new 3d printer where do i have room for it i guess if i move this i can put it right here oh i've got this thing i need let's just put it right here so this was my opportunity to say all right what's the logical logical flow of this room like what is what kinds of things need to be together on the same table to to save uh space or to make things more intelligently organized.

And so took everything out and then kind of put everything back in to where, sorry, I just whacked my, I got a lobooboo from my daughter-in-law. Look at that. This is what these are up close. I've never really seen one up close. All right. That's what a liboubu looks like up close. Are you hooked now? You can be

open in these things forever? And I'm so glad I didn't spend any money on it. Like a gift liboubu is the best Labibu. They just look like, they look like mad care bears, don't they a little bit? They're angry monchy cheese. Yeah. They're just like collect them all. And this is even the one called

Love, I think, is its name. Yeah, that thing's going to eat in the night. Love Lubu. I know, that's why I keep it down here and not in the bedroom. Good idea. No. I will wake up with this thing standing over me with a little chucky knife or something. Yeah. But anyway,

so reorganize that whole room. And as I was doing that, I was like, you know what, let's do some more, uh, Millennium Falcon build. And you guys happen to be doing play retro at the same time. So I tuned in and listened to you, talk about decent, uh, which was really good. I like the game decent. Yeah, decent and decent too are still pretty good games, turns out. Um, if you listen to film sacs pre show, or no, film sack in general from this weekend, that'll even be funnier. Oh, yeah. Because we had a whole back and forth about Dunaway's pronunciation of Michael Jeter. Michael Jeter. Yeah, that was pretty fun. Well, that's great. We were glad to have you in there. And I hope you all had a nice week. I know you missed us. We missed you. And now we're back and we're going to talk about a few things. Nothing too insane here is mostly just lots of kids, lots of usual stuff. I didn't, you know, really need anything this year. And so somehow Kim still managed to get me a, you know, blanket and something else. Like little stuff. I don't care about gifts no more. Not really interested.

anymore as far as like you know oh let me open it on christmas day it's just not a thing for me but man did we transfer that power to the littles this year it was like here's all this stuff everybody to lose their minds and we did that and lots of food kimbo christmas gumbo oh i saw i saw the video of the 12 bowls of gumbo yeah we put up a short for it if you guys want to see it on the youtube channel but it's basically the best gumbo i've ever had in my life that was amazing and there's still a ton left which gumbo only gets better as it ages Well, within region, reason. Right, there's a peak, but it's not, day one is good, but day two is even better.

When the flavors have melded and stuff and you reheat it and all those. It's so good. Big giant crab legs in there and like, it was snow crab, of course, frozen because, you know, we don't live on some coast here. Sure. Very landlocked here in the Utah. But all the deep pooped shrimp you can eat in there. And just, oh, it was so good. Anyway, so there's a lot of that.

A lot of warm, comfortable, family vibes, nothing too insane. We went to a lot of bookshops and chills stuff like that. So, you know, that kind of thing. The one thing I didn't get time to do was to even crack open the big stack of board games I'm behind on. Oh, really? It sounds like you finally did. At least flip seven. I finally got one of them.

Flip seven, yeah, finally got that broken out. We went to George and Barb's for a Christmas thing. So two different family Christmas things, one at Tina's mom's house with her brother, his kids, my mom, Tristan McKay, of course, and got together there. And it was such a great time, had a great time. We watched Die Hard because Scott's kids had never seen it. And Tina's mom, bless her heart, talks to the TV when she's watching a movie. And so we're watching Die Hard and she's saying stuff like

Oh, I was wondering when he was gonna do that. That's great. We also watched Die Hard, but we didn't have everybody talking to the TV that I know of. It's great. What other kind of stuff would you,

would she say? I love this idea. Oh yeah, there's that guy. Like, you know, like she was waiting for him to come back and take out the,

what's the guy's name, Al Leong. Oh, yeah. The walrus man. Who's got the walrus. mustache I guess I did pipe up about him because there were people in the room where I went

By the way everybody this guy's in almost He's in like 40% of film sack movies Of the 80s Yeah he's just in everything this guy He's amazing we love that guy Yeah he's so good But then over at George and Barbes we broke open I brought Dixet and flip seven and we got to flip seven

And it was great And then if I you know I'm not complaining at all but my uncle George got me a new board game called Sector, which is like a very cool Macintosh Chicago font looking like it's a board game, but it looks like it was built off of an old

Infocom game or something. Wild. And it can be played one player, so I don't need to like wait around for Tina's time to be able to play it. So I'm going to check that out. I want to see that. That sounds awesome.

Yeah. We also went and saw Marty Supreme. Yeah, the ping pong deal. How's that? This year's big ping pong. movie. Every year we got to have one. Good little Timothy Chandelier. It was really good. He

did a great job what's her face? Margo Margo Margo Margo Why can't I remember her name? There we go. No, Gwyneth Paltrow. Okay.

Who played Margot Tannenbaum. Oh, okay. Played the character, Margot. Got it. Played the character of Margot. I don't know. The real life story this is based on it, I know nothing about it. So this is going to all be new to me. it's and it's great we didn't know anything either and it's one of these movies where it's like you kind of get the the story during the credits or you get a few things during the credits of like okay here's the real dude it's like wow all right this is they did a great job casting they did a

great job um uh with the story it was fascinating uh i feel like it should be called the color of marty because it's basically it's got a very the color of money kind of feel to it just ping pong instead of pool but um interesting i mean i think that timothy shallomay's going places i'll just say i think so i'm going to say i'm going to say we're going to hear more from him yeah you know what i like i like that he taught himself you could almost call him a cheater he taught himself to sing last year in the in the bob dillon deal yeah they taught himself how to quotation marks yeah taught himself how to play proper ping pong for this movie right i think he taught himself guitar for the bob dillon thing too oh wow see that's cool it even adds to my whole point which is

he used a green screen to ride a giant worm and dune how come he did that ride a real worm i know yeah lazy ass lazy ass like come on if you're gonna go go all the way if you were really the method actor you're presenting yourself as let's see you do a real worm and uh i think he walks with rhythm and that's the problem oh shit it's the other problem there so yeah i do that too now helps me with the worms though anyway yes it does but Tina uh we had another incident where we had another incident where we had had some, we had some drunk people come to the Alamo Draft House and of course they sit right next to Tina and, uh, and it was another screen talk. It was another person who talks to the screen, but he was doing more like the, huh. Oh, geez. Something happens on screen. Huh. Okay. Makes you want to follow that person. And so Tina's really close. She was like, Brian, I was inching towards filling out one of the cards and I'm like, yeah, I don't blame you. That would have gotten to me. Yeah, that would annoy me. You didn't have to hear that. though you're on the other side i didn't hear it for the other being on the other side of her i didn't

hear a thing and and i was worried because to my right were a group of women who were getting together they hadn't seen each other and forever getting oh it's christmas that's so good to see you guys blah blah blah and they talked all through the the uh trailers they talked through the almo thing that says shut up this movie time but they kept quiet after that it's like wow all right I was expecting it from them. Tina got it from the drunk people that maybe were less expecting. And it's usually a sign that that's going to happen. It is. Yeah, totally is.

Well, that's good. You know what? Anybody who goes, uh, out loud in a movie, I don't even care if they're alone, dude. You are off my list. Exactly. That's, you know, we don't care about your response to things. We're here to see the movie. We don't care what you think and what you find interesting or compelling or whatever.

No, just shut up. Yeah, you don't sit there and watch some movie and go, wow, huh. Exactly. Nobody does that. Freaking knock that off. That sucks. Hyped VF down. Well, that's great.

Sounds like you had a good time. We did. It was a great. It was a really good week. It was fun. I have a giant recommendation real quick before we jump into half-asses, and that is this. There is a brand new, well, I don't know how brand new it is. It's relatively new.

Down in the middle of kind of re-gentrified South Salt Lake called Beast from the East. And in fact, if we have anybody from Philadelphia coming to Nertacular this year, You are going to want to go here and tell me whether or not I am correct and believing that this place is authentic as hell. But it's this really kind of hole-in-the-wall area, really nice inside, but small, like very East Coast small, like a bar and then a few seats. But it's this place called Beast from the East.

It is without any question, whether it's authentic or not, I can't take it's been to Philadelphia. But the best Philly cheese steak I've ever had in my freaking life was there. It was so good. all went. We got wings, fries, and that. It was all good. The girls got something else split it. But the cool thing about this place is

it had a very East Coast attitude. It was a good service and everything, but the menu... Like super Nazi kind of stuff? Yeah, kind of. Because we get there at 10 o'clock, they open at 10 a.m. sharp. No, no, no. I'm sorry. 11 a.m. sharp. And we got there early and waited for a few minutes. By the time that you actually opened, places already

packed. Like, I was like, what is this place? What's the crack here? Like, just insane. amounts of people in here. And I look at the menu and it says, here are the four sandwiches we make. Good. Very good. Couple of sides. Yeah, exactly. Couple of sides. And then open until we run out. And like, apparently these people. Like an Austin barbecue place, basically. Yeah. And apparently these people run out like by noon sometimes. Wow. Really? So you do want to get there right when they open. Unless you might be missing out. And we loved it. It was so good. Anyway, you check. it out if you're in Salt Lake.

You can choose. Tell me, okay. So you can do cheese was, you can do this. What's the other stuff? I forgot the other stuff. They gave you some choices because not everybody wants that. Yeah, I think that was it. I prefer the white cheddar.

I think that's what I did. Because Kim says, I don't think you like the cheese. I said, I think you're right. I don't like the cheese with. Yeah. Cheese was no. But yeah, I get Wiz Whit because that's a, oh, no, not Wiswit. Provolone Witt.

So I get onions on it. Oh, dude. So did I. I must have got exactly what you would get. yeah probably it was very very good so anyway if you're you're hungry you're downtown salt lake or south south of the city holy shit it was really really good nice guys it's time for us to have some fun do you want to have fun i do i do too see both of us want to have fun yeah we are in agreement guys just want to have fun and uh we're going to do that right now with a bit of this oh it's

quiet there we go oh there we go Yes, it's time for us to welcome Brian Dunaway to the show, who joins us each Monday and Wednesday to play a little game. Brian Dunaway, what are you doing? Yeah, so high Scott and Brian. You just make sure of your call ever so patiently. Are you in the bathroom or where are you? Are you actually physically in a toilet? Okay, so does it sound like something's odd going on?

All right, let me check a look. Yeah, it sounds really weird. To see what Mike here is. You know what? I bet I bet I know what's going on. It sounds like you're on the third stall is what it sounds like. Yeah. Well, stop giving it.

It's in a book. It's in a book. Right. Oh, you know. Oh, that's way better. Sort of. There we go. Kind of quiet.

Let me turn you up. There we go. I hear you now. Say something normal. Let me see what you sound like. Oh, hi. gotten Brian say something normal do you not know me have you never met me all right fine it's actually a fair point uh it's good to talk to you are you work or you home where are you

for some reason the little little tube that comes out to greet you it was stuck in engaged mode in fire mode really I was worried it didn't fire off but it would not retract and I was worried I was like

oh please do not splash me in the faith hole well it's also that and also like Uh, if it's not retracting, then, uh, you might get a little triumphian insult dog kind of action. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, I was standing up, luckily, so. Okay.

I was, I was just number onesies. Where am I like a beast? I don't go to my family's house and take a duke. No. No, nobody poops in somebody else's house. This is a great day spray to poop on. Uh, well, it's good to have you here, man. We're going to play a game.

It's been a while since we've done it, so I hope you're not feeling too rusty. Brian, you want to explain these rules and, who's going to win and all that. Here's how the game works. Welcome to the morning. Half-Ass is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving Scott and Brian the answers. I'm going to give them a category and six possible answers. Three of which are correct. Dang it.

I thought I turned this off. Stop it. How many are correct then? Three of them are correct. And three like the volume on my Oakley glasses are incorrect. Depending on how confident you feel with a category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you guess any wrong, you get zero. points for that round. Get one right,

gets you a point. Two right, gets you three points. Three right gets you five points. We're going to add all those points up at the end. And award one of you the prize. Just kidding. We're going to award some of these you're playing for the prize. We've pulled members of the Tadpool patrons that aren't able to be here live.

Scott, you're going to be playing for Matthew Metton. Oh, hi Matthew. I hope I do well for you today. And Brian, you're going to be playing for C Carmen. So it's the M.M. versus the CC. Oh. Blind customer, no.

Carbon copy and the other one. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. It's exciting. All right. I could have to get a good MM right now. Multiple, multiple man is the good M.M. Oh, multiple man.

I like it. All right, let's get to the game here with question number one here. Category is names originally considered for the Boston Celtics. So which of these were names are originally considered for the Boston Celtics. Your choices are the blasts, the unicorns, the Olympians, the beans, the whirlwinds, and the Picts. Scott goes conservative today.

Oh, Scott goes, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to go semi-conservative. Yeah, that's what they... It chug, come on, come on, whatever, blast beans. Beans, the Boston beans, of course. all right let's get to uh you guys both settled on the olympians the boston olympians why olympians for boston but that is correct olympians was one of the names they considered uh then you guys went rogue on each of your other choices okay one of you said unicorns one of you said beans the boston unicorns or the boston beans one of them was considered both are terrible ideas but yes please really both are i'm glad neither of you chose picts uh it is the boston Unicorn Ah, shit. Yeah.

Yeah, beans never even in consideration, unfortunately. The unicorns, the whirlwinds, and the Olympians were the three that were considered for Boston team names. So the picked, the picked is a, that's like an old image format, isn't it? It's an old image format, but I think it's also a small animal. Oh, no, I'm thinking of a pika. What is a picked? I don't know. I remember there was a pig, Floyd,

song called a collection of small, furry animals grooving in a cave with a picked or something like that. Oh, here it is. A Pict is a member of an ancient people who lived in what is now Eastern and North Eastern Scotland. Oh, so that was kind of if we had known what that was, that would

have been bait. I got you. Yeah, it could have been bait. Yeah, I didn't know what that was. I just know the file format. It's not all I've ever heard of. There you go. All right. Groving with a picked. All right, let's get to question number two. Brian going into Q2 with three points. Got with zero. But here's your chance to get some more point. Scott and Brian

which of these are French soft drinks? No, no phoning a friend. Don't call Patrick. Which of these are French soft drinks? Mecca Cola. Coye Sabot, Genie, Mademoiselle Pop shit, and Poisson, Boissant.

I know, I don't think you read these help me. I have torn apart the French language. Much worse. Yes, I'm pretty sure that I do like meca cola. Meca-Cola. Meca-Cola.

That was spelled slightly different. It would be like a giant robot with-Cola. That's what I would think. Yeah, yeah, like Meca-Gonzola, man, none of these look right. This one feels like bait. I'm going to take the bait. I'm going to do three. I have to compete here, so I'm doing it.

You have to compete. You don't do three, but, you know, if I want to take the lead. Well, that's what you want to lead? Let's see how Scott did with his three, all right? Let's see. Scott picked Jeannie, G-I-N-I. Maybe it's called Jiny. Give me a tall, eyes, cold grass.

I mean some Jiny. Jeannie is indeed a French soft drink. Oh, good job. Pshit. Yeah, with a p-s-h-h-I-T. I'm sure that's not how that's pronounced, but P-S-H-I-T, right up the creek, and it is. Wow, look at Scott. God, just railing me.

He really knows his French soft drinks. I don't know about this third one, dude. Now, the third, both of you picked. Madden Moza. Oh, really? Oh, so either way, I either tie or nothing. Tire or die. Yeah.

Tired die, baby. No, you won't tie it with just. Oh, I won't tie, but I'd be one below. Okay, that's right. Yeah, I'd be more. God, do I have to explain the scoring system? So wait, so if I get one right, it's one point. If I get two is three, if I get 12, then I'm playing something else.

Yeah, you're playing a different game. That's right. Exactly. And Mademoiselle Pop is not. Oh, the better of the outcomes. Mecca Cola is indeed. Nice. Mecca.

So does it have anything to do with going to Mecca or it's like a Muslim reference or not? No, but probably like the Mecca, like the Acme of Colas. Like it's the, it is the high point, the apex. The pinnacle of colas. Okay. Yes. Pushit. Yeah.

Pushit. By the way. Coley Sabot means glue hoof And Plasant Blasant means Fish drink I'm sorry, fish drink

Is that what you said? Fish drink F that shit, F that It is aptly named If I saw Posson Bozan I would say no thanks Do they have a fish drink over there? Is that a thing?

No. Okay. Imagine if it was carbonated. Yeah, that's even worse. Oh, carbonated fish drink. That's right, exactly. Talley, how did I do with those pronunciations, by the way? I know, I know you speak French.

Does she do, I didn't know if she knew French. I thought she'd just, that's great. She'd have to for living in. She used to live here, and she didn't deport herself. What's the word? She might not migrated. Extradited. Yeah, she's an expat.

Yeah, she's a bit she's really smart, so maybe she did. I don't know. maybe she did and tally i've been playing expedition 33 with headphones on i love the music okay let's get question number three number three and finally maybe scott can get some points tie this thing up or win the game animals whose pregnancies last longer than one year heaven help us all i don't see all swartzenegger on here it's not a tumour uh sea lion sloth hippopotamus orca rhinoceros or camel. Okay.

Three of these have a pregnancy that lasts longer than a year. Three of them do not. Going all out. And I think one of those is a piece of bait that I will not take. Oh, sure. I think I know which one you mean is the piece of bait.

You mean slothiness? But it could be it. So I don't know. What do I know? All right. You both have locked in. Which one did you think was the piece of bait? Sloth.

Sloth. Absolutely. Sloth is absolutely bait. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Otherwise, ocean babies take longer. Six months, by the way, for a sloth, 183 days. Oh, they're like quick.

That's great. They're quick as dead. But if you give them a baby, Ruth, it goes even faster. Yeah. But the actual, like, process of getting it up from their birth hole to their breast for milk is a long time. It takes a long time. Another week and a half or something like that. That's right.

All right. Let's get to the ones you did choose. Both of you did Orca. Because you love that movie that we need to watch. someday for film sec we need to watch the movie orca hell yeah the jumping orca or you were talking about the movie orca the 19 80s movie movie we need to watch yeah yeah not orca orca I got you it was they were really going hard on the whole killer part of killer whales they totally were 495 days that's too many days for that is too many days any any woman will tell you that's too long

let's go to rhinoceros Okay Rhinocerus I want a rhinoceros for Christmas Oh no you don't That one is 450 days Wow okay Also longer than a year

Okay Yeah yeah How long does it take for Jim Carriette To crawl out of a hippopotamus Is that Too quick Too long To everything

Just everything It's gross It's disgusting If it's too long the other two you guys one of you chose sea lion the other one shows hippopotamus. Let's look at, which one do you want to know about?

Hippopotamus or sea lion? I'm going to say hippopotamus is probably right. I debated on the sea lion and the hippopotamus and I kept bouncing back. Sea lions are so much smaller to me, but they're also a large. They are a large mammal though, so I don't know. Yeah.

I don't know. All right, let's go hippopotamus. I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. The J-Station period is only 237 days. Cheetos. wait a minute yeah camel I thought about camel

And then we'll head into January. I heard jankuary is a thing. I don't know if we'll participate in that, but whatever. You have to pick janky games? What does that mean? I suppose. So I haven't quite got it. It's the theme for everything.

And I don't know if we're participating. in January. But yeah, with Daucember had a lot of fun. Got to a lot of memories of typing on the command line and getting things sound cars to work. And guess what we don't have in this first one? We got speaker sound, so it's going to be great pool of radiance. Yeah, that's right. This would not have cool sounds. It's pretty bad. Yeah, but anyway, a lot of fondness for this in our community. People are stoked about it. So it's going to be a first time exposure for me. And I'm a little weird.

It's my first time playing through it. It's a strange. It's there. They're weird, but they're good. So I played, yeah. I played, I had played the Flash Gordon game that was, no, Buck Rogers. It was Book Rogers. Did it come with the Mingo phone, but probably. No, it did not.

It did not, but it was based on the same engine. And, yeah, so that was the only experience I had before this week. It's called the Mingo engine, by the way. It's called the Mingo engine. Check it out. Don away, I look forward to it greatly. Kiss Herbots. All right, he's out of here.

yeah get out of here all right you guys it's time for this and now welcome stephen to the show he's a huge freaking nerd dollar dollar bills y'all hey look who it is it's our old pal stephen schliker joining us from major spoilers dot com what's going on mr schliker hello scott hello brian amen it's the last monday of 2025 i know it is so you've got that to look forward to so don't mess it up yeah no pressure i will try not to no pressure on you dude uh it's good to be here. A great year of Schleiker, I would argue. You're still one of my favorite segments on the show. Don't tell anyone else, but it's one of my favorites.

Somebody put that as the title of this episode. One of our nine favorite. Recurring Monday cycle. Yeah. In the Monday cycle, you're definitely our favorite until one of the other two ask and then you're not. But no, for real, it's always good to be here, man. I'm kind of glad you're our ultimate final guest on the show. because today

I shouldn't say guess because tomorrow we have people but you know what I mean Monday sorry Travis I guess this is probably not the way you wanted to hear about it but that's right

we're going to get a little end of yeary in a way but in the most major spoiler way possible before we get to some of this sum up stuff though can we talk about ONI press licensing

to Archie comics why is that they're both publishers of comics why does ONI why is ONI care well so I guess that the bigger question is

why does Archie Comics not want to publish regular comics. They've announced that they're basically going to go to quarterly collections of their older material. Okay. And that they're not going to really move forward with month-to-month comics, which means that there's a lot of comics, potentially a lot of IP, a lot of money left on the table for people who like reading Modern Takes on Archie, including the classic afterlife with Archie, the zombie series that came out,

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Those were really popular back in the day. And so Oni Press said, hey, we will license these from you if you will let us go ahead and do our own thing. So starting in September of next year, we'll get a new Archie series from W. Maxwell Prince, who does this series over at Image Comics called Ice Cream Man, which is creepy.

So he's going to do something very different, I think, with Archie Comics. Then we've got Sabrina the Teenage Witch coming out in October. So that should have some classic high, jinx there. And then kind of bringing into that Archie horror line, we've got Archie and Hell coming out in November from Patrick Corvoth and Tyler Crook. Tyler Crook is the artist on the really phenomenal series Harrow County, if no one has read that. So it's going to be really interesting to see what Oni does with these properties. In addition to that, they're going to be collecting omnibus editions, new releases, trade paperbacks, all of those things. So it's

going to be an interesting year why i mean a lot of people will say hey it is um you know archie doesn't have the money uh where they're going out of business or whatever there is that i would say there's other things forcing that uh certainly the diamond comic debacle has left many publishers hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in debt because they haven't gotten their uh inventory back yet or haven't gotten paid from this uh from this uh bankruptcy uh others might look at the um you'll have to do a deep dive on it but archie used to have the sonic the hedgehog property back in the day yeah and they screwed that thing up royally uh because they didn't make sure the contracts were signed correctly uh and then of course there's you know there's other

things like the pandemic still uh fall out from the pandemic so um those could be many of the reasons why but it could also be that archie just wants to be a little bit more on the straight narrow path, you know, compared to where they used to be with LGBTQAI representation, people, color representation, the horror, the graphic horror stuff that they were doing and not the, you know, the classic sugar, sugar stuff that we remember from when we were kids. It's always been a hard brand that way, because that's what people first think of no matter who you are. Even if you like, you know, the zombie one where Jughead survived everything, it was an amazing run.

That was really a fun story. Yeah. But if you just say to somebody, Archie Comics, they just think of that 50s looking thing. Yeah, so to shop, you know, yeah. Even when they did, what was the name of the show? Riverdale. Riverdale, like that was a lot of people watched. I think there were a couple of generations of people who saw Riverdale and didn't know this was an Archie comics thing.

Like, didn't know that was Archie from this comic book or maybe didn't even know about the comic. So I think they've always been in this weird position. But they're also privately owned. It's just a, you know, owned and operated by a family. I think it should be able to do whatever the hell they want. There aren't shareholders breathing down their neck. Just do what you want to do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so this seems like a really nice thing. And if Archie gets money out of the deal and if Oni can, Oni's actually done very well over the last couple of years, expanding its lineup. They've got a lot of good IPs that they're licensing. The Rick and Morty stuff that they've got has been doing very well. So this is just another offering from Oney Press. There you go. Good luck to them. And I like Oni. So, you know, down for whatever. Consolidate if you have to. Whatever you got to do. Just keep comics coming.

Mm-hmm. All right. Let's get on to the movie comic book based movies this year that cleaned up at the box office. The ones that were the top worldwide money makers. I was surprised by some of this. So do you want to start at the bottom here? Yeah, let's start at the bottom. Let's start with the Smurfs based on the Belgian comic. by PAYO. It brought in $124 million. Forgot there was even a Smurfs movie this year. I know. I think the previous Smurfs movies kind of tarnished that reputation. Yeah. So. And this one is like, from what I could tell, like CGI and it talks about AI and stuff.

Like there's bot smurfs or something from the trailers. I didn't see it. Yeah. Doesn't sound like my kind of jam. Doesn't sound like something Brian's going to line up at the Alamo to go see. I like that review. It was a movie, I guess. It was a movie, I suppose.

Yeah, I didn't review very well. 4.3 on your IMDB, which is all users, of course. But, yeah, I mean, you had Friana, James Corden, Nick Offerman, some people, Dan Levy, yeah, Amy Sedaris, Sandra O. I like these people, but, you know, I'm not a smurf guy. I wasn't back then either. And I still think it's weird, and I know there's some lore and you can dig in if you want, but it's weird that there's one lady, and she's,

she don't wear pants and it's all dudes otherwise so hey how do we reproduce and make a bunch more smurfs well poor freaking lady smurf has to birth a bunch of smurf babies i don't like it anyway all right coming in at number five yeah coming in at number five is dogman based on the uh dev what's his name dev pelke or whatever if you don't know about dogman yet scott your grandson will probably within the next two years be talking nothing about Dogman and Captain Underpair.

He's already super into it. He turned seven this month, so he's of age. I think six is probably a pretty good time for this to hit. And they had this kind of on virtual repeat. He loved this. Oh, yeah. His sister did too, but... It made $145 million at the box office.

I love the style. Like, we didn't see the movie, but we saw the trailer a bunch. And the style, the animation style, It looks really cool. And it really, for a 3D animated movie, it really follows the designs in the comic books, in the books, I guess I should say, are comic books. These are really more sold, not through comic shops, but directly through, like, scholastic press. So the grade schools, middle schools, this is one of the number one selling properties when it comes to comics. It's like it would have been higher at the box office, but I don't know why the kids didn't flock to it.

It's a little bit like, well, you already mentioned, it's like the underpants, Captain Underpants stuff. It comes from that same heritage of, you know, they're part of your school book club or whatever the heck. It's an elastic, yeah. I think it looks neat. Never seen the thing all the way through just when he's here, like bits and pieces will happen while I'm, you know, moving around the house or whatever. I did finally see Demon Hunters, the K-pop deal. Oh, cool. Yeah, you loved it.

Yeah, I loved it. So even though it's not based on the comic book, it made 24. million dollars in its theatrical release which for people that are like and netflix doesn't care about the theatrical distribution the k-pop demon hunters was free on streaming yeah then they said hey let's put this in the theaters not once but twice twice and made 24 million dollars off of that in limited locations a sing-along song along version yeah yeah so uh contrast that with uh paramount sky dance that says oh no we we believe in the There's a little editorializing here. We believe in the theater experience, and yet they have decided to yank the Avatar movie, the Chronicles of Ang or whatever, that Legacy of Ang movie that's coming up, and they've decided to put that straight to streaming in 2026.

That's kind of what Sony did. Sony had the K-pop thing. That was their deal. The original plan was theatrical. They got nervous and thought this isn't going to go. This isn't going to work. And they sell it to Netflix for cheap. Cheap. Like, cheap, cheap, cheap.

And then Netflix puts it up and people lose their minds. It's the biggest animated film of the year. Oops, says Sony. Oops. Yeah, right. Right. But, yeah, I also assume that those two theatrical runs were to ensure it could be nominated this year for best. Definitely the second one was there just so people could do the sing-a-law. Okay. But this does.

I think the first one was probably a little bit, yes, let's get some Oscar nominations. And that's one of the big things that I think when we look at if Netflix, does acquire Warner Brothers that we will see a shortened window. I predict it's going to be about 18 days or about three weekends that we will see a movie in the theater before it goes to streaming service. But again, most of that is you have to have a theatrical release if you want to be an Oscar contender. And if there's one thing we've learned about Netflix is they so desperately,

desperately want to be recognized by the movie industry as a player. As a real. Yeah, we want to be a real movie theater. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like they're, I mean, they're sort of there. All these streaming services have big Oscar polls. You know? Hollywood does kind of look at them as they're the Nouveau-Riche, right?

Where it's just like that. Well, mainly because of the biggest one, but they also will give awards to, like, Prime has some original movie that'll win. Like, wasn't. And I'm sure Apple Will and Amazon has. You know, the Irishman was a nominee a couple years ago, and that was a director of Netflix. Well, but it also had a limited theatrical role.

Well, they do it in like, passed due to Yeah, Los Angeles in New York for like a week or something. Yeah, the way those rules work. One showing, by the way, it just took a week for that movie to play

because it was so long. Yeah, I was going to make a list of all of the movies that were nominated from streaming services and I had a hard time finding an exact list. Oh, here we go. Here we go. I found it now.

Anora from Hulu. Amelia Perez from Netflix. Conclay from Peacock. Dune Part 2 from Max slash Netflix. The Substance from Mubi? That doesn't sound right. Really? That's what it says.

Studio, Mooby Studio. That's what this says. Nick, Nickel Boys from MGM Plus, a complete unknown. Hulu had that. The Brutalist, Max, Wicked from Peacock, and then I'm still here, Apple TV Plus. But didn't one of them win the Apple TV Plus about the deaf girl? Yeah, yeah, Coda. That's what I thought won. Okay, why isn't on this list? That's weird.

Anyway. Maybe you need to expand your years or something. Yeah, might be. Maybe. But that is. Anyway, let's get to thought. It did all right. Thunderbolts did okay, $382 million. You know, you've got to put the asterisk in there because it's the new Avengers now. Right. But the one that I was really surprised it is that Captain America, Brave New World did better than Thunderbolts.

I'm surprised too. I'm surprised too. It had Harrison Ford in it, $415 million for that one. It also came out first. So you might have had some people who didn't enjoy Brave New World as much and said, I'll wait until Thunderbolts comes to streaming. And I, of course, would agree. that Thunderbolts is the far better film.

I actually just watched it over the break, too. I re-watched it. Easily the better film. So good. And freaking Florence Pugh and David Harbor are just incredible in this thing. Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great movie. And I was surprised that it made less money than the Kevin.

Brave New World, for sure. None of them made what Disney would like them to make. We should make that clear. All of these are lower than they would hope. I assume we've all seen. Have we seen, I'm not going to say what it is on the show in case nobody's seen it, but there's been a leaked piece of the next trailer for...

Oh, yeah, yeah. The second, uh, the second teaser Ventures Doomsday? Yeah. Oh, I haven't seen the second one. I haven't seen the second one. I saw the first one before. So you haven't seen the character reveal that everybody's losing their mind. No, but I know, well, I think I know what it is. Does it involve a little baby? It does. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's the second one. I thought that was the first one. Okay. Yeah. Maybe it was. I don't know, but it's still, either way,

it's a leak. I'm not until it's official. The first one. The first one is the, has got the little baby in it. Yeah, and that one's now officially released. But doesn't that make you wonder or question, what the hell end game was for? If you're going to just do that, isn't that a little annoying? Just a team bit? So, Scott, there's this really weird little thing called the multiverse. Yeah.

And we don't know what's going on in the multiverse. It's called the, how do we make people supply more tickets? We know that they're going to end it. Yes. We know that the, we know that the person holding that little baby had a, right. a giant dumb truck pull up to their house with a crap ton of money spilling out. Right. Yeah, I mean, I know that.

I know really what it is. It is definitely that, but I don't know. Part of me is like, well, they screwed up the Kang thing, so. That's true. They needed to pivot. Pivot. Yep. Fantastic Four, speaking of pivoting to the multiverse,

Fantastic Four First Steps made $521 million. Again, not as much as people were hoping. It was an okay movie. I thought it was just all right. I liked it. I'm ready to give it a rewatch as well because I really, really enjoyed it at the time. And I want to make sure that just wasn't the initial excitement of finally getting to see the Fantastic Four done right on the big screen. Yeah, now, I will agree of all the Fantastic Four movies.

This one is really the best one of all the Fantastic Four movies. I know, Brian, you saw it on IMAX. I saw it on my giant, you know, 86-inch TV. Sure, sure. So I'm sure there's a little bit of a difference there, especially when you were talking about Galactus on the IMAs. compared to Galactus on my home theater would be quite a bit different. But that's so, yeah, now that I've done Thunderbolts, the next step on the re-the-reviewing is fantastic for it. I'm trying to decide, because I know in the theaters this year, they're going to be re-releasing Infinity War and Endgame as a lead-up to Doomsday.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to go watch those in the theater or if I'm just going to do a re-watch. I'm definitely doing a re-watch one way or the other. am I going to the theater for it or am I doing it at home? I can watch all the Marvel movies starting January 1st. You just watch them nonstop. By the time the Fantastic Four ends, you can walk across the street into the theater to watch Dune's Day. So when's the day for that?

Do we know a date? I'm sure we do. Yeah, December 18th for Doomsday. So we're about a year away from this day. One year to the day of the release of Avatar, so they started the actual 365, five-day countdown as part of the trailer. Ah, nice.

I heard James Cameron say yesterday that he believes the newest one's going to do well enough to justify the fourth and fifth movies that he has planned. It did over the weekend, it did $760 million as their global box office right now. It did win the weekend over Zootopia 2. And it only had a 25% decline, which is amazing because, as we've seen box office drops, save for some others like weapons centers, et cetera, the original Black Panther, all went up. But a 25% decline is nothing to sneeze at for there when most of them drop, you know, somewhere in the 40 to 50% range. Well, he basically said if this doesn't do as well as we needed

to do, I will tell you what my stories were for four and five. That's what he said. Really, he'll just like, just tell us. I like that Luke Sightwalker says, I've seen it three times. It was okay. I've seen it three times. It was okay. That is the weirdest review I have It really is. Yeah. Did you go the second and third time, hoping you would be better than okay? Or are you just being a jokey, jokey, jokey.

I am quite, it's more than Luke Movies Walker. It went to three movies by accident or something. That's crazy. Anyway, moving on. Yeah. Yeah, Superman. This is the one that there's so much controversy on, on the social media. $616 million.

Yeah, some people are like, bring back the Schneiderverse. That's that shit. It's not coming back. That's not. You've got a bunch of movies that you can watch. Go watch those. And if Netflix does acquire Warner Brothers, I don't think Snyder is currently

under contract with Netflix anymore. I think he's done his Star Wars movie and then he's moved on. Yeah, plus he has all the other shit he did for Netflix. You got enough Snyder to last your lifetime. Exactly. And believe me, I can do plenty of belly aching about the loss of James Gunn from the MCU.

Like his absence will be missed, big time. I mean, the Owls of Gahooley Who universe. I want to see more of that. That was a Zach Snyder movie, by the one. So this probably isn't making any of those dude bros happy, but Superman made the most money of all these comic movies. Oh, but did it, Scott Chonso?

Is there an asterisk? Is there an asterisk because there's actually a comic book movie that made more money than Superman did in 2025. Hold on. Can we guess what this is? Because I'm pretty good at the side stuff. You are really good at this. The weird comics that no one thinks are. comic like graphic novel adaptations and stuff uh let's go with oh no we do know what this is i think

because you or randy talked about it isn't it the the chinese thing oh it's that yeah yeah the chinese is that it's it's that it's based on a well it's based on an original original original story but then there's comics that came before it are we even close the chinese movie is that you're talking okay good okay so that eliminates that never mind about that that that's not our guess It's clearly TAR, the movie about the conductor that was based on a comic book. Yes, the re-release of the North Pole Express. Son of a goat, dude. I can't think of it.

Okay, here's what I want everybody to do. I want you to go to our new website, major spoilers. Substack.com. And look for the article that I just posted this morning called Monday by the numbers, which runs through all of this, and then takes into account what happens. happens if we include the manga into this category. Ah, there we go. How do the numbers flip?

I got hooked onto this game over the holiday called Final Girl. and it is a solo board game that is a riff on Slasher movies where you are the final girl trying to take out the bad guy and you've got to buy the base and then you have to buy the movies themselves

Close your Yeti hole. guys, I've got an email to read and a mash-up to tell you about and start with the email and I have a shout-out too but let me give you this email. Hey guys, my wife Tanna started Christmas, sorry, starts Christmas shopping

as soon as Christmas ends for the next year. She says all the best deals happen early. Do either of your wives do this? Says Tony. Tony, 1,000% this happens in this house. Really? Wow. Tina does later on in the year, but not, she doesn't wait until the last two or three months. I mean, she'll start in September, October and stuff, but, but Kim starts right away, huh?

Yeah, and she gave, so this year, most years, she does this thing where all the kids get, and they're, and Taylor and Nick's case, their, their sibling, or their spouses, get these really nice, um, sweat, combo, like sweatshirt, I don't know, there's some fancy brand I don't know much about. I just know that they're kind of expensive. So this year, this just reminds me of this, this year she pulls these out and gives them, me where they go, oh my gosh, what did these cost me? These look expensive because they're really nice higher-end ones. Right. And she goes, she probably got it like 50% off because it was, uh, she goes, well, if you to ask me back in May, I could have told you I got it for like 80% off. And I was like, oh, yeah, right.

I forgot you do this. So that's how she saves, not only saves money, but just get stuff done early. So I don't know about, I don't know what the percentage is, but by May of this year, she'll have most of Christmas ready, because she's a freak. that way, unlike me who waits till like three weeks until the day. Yeah, three weeks. Okay.

Yeah. And that's being generous. That's generous. I'm going to say, that's better than me. I'm like, oh, Christmas is next week? Cool. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime Delivery, folks. Yeah, right. Yeah. Sometimes I'll even run down to a Walmart and go, oh, that George Foreman grill's looking like a good idea. Anyway, so yes, thank you for that there. Tony. We also, I want to give a quick shout out to

Ryan Stuck. I don't know if you guys remember, but talk about this a couple weeks ago. Don't drop that on your Yeti. I don't want to drop it. You'll have another big hole. Oh my gosh, all the stuff I'd have to replace if I dropped this. But he sent me this giant, industrial size, comically large and heavy Allen wrench. It's so freaking funny.

It's really great. I don't know how, what shipping costs. I don't want to know. But his name is Ryan Stuck. And I wanted to thank Ryan Stuck officially because back then I didn't know his name. Now I know it. Ryan, thank you for this thing. I don't even know what showy listens to. It may be all of them. It may just be this.

It could be core. I don't know where it came from. But Ryan, if you're listening, this is my favorite thing I got this year. And I can't even use it for anything. Right. It's completely useless. But I love it. I love that thing.

That and that tape, Brian sent. You guys don't know how cool it is. I'm going to hide shit in there and no one's ever going to know. Yeah. Yeah. Put your last will in testament. Then somebody's going to be like, oh, old V-CS or VHS tape. toss it.

Yep, get rid of it. Wait, play the tape. See what's on it. Wait, this isn't a tape. It's not a tape. What's inside here? Oh, it's his weed. It's inside the tape the whole time.

Anyway, thank you all. Ryan stuck in particular today. Here is a note that today you will hear a mashup. It's been sitting there. It's a Christmas story. Sure you will. Sure. It's called classic mashup Santa Claus is coming.

And it's basically us just talking about Santa Claus stuff. I'm checking to see if you've already put it in our music full. I haven't. Because Dropbox is borked for me. So I have them both on the desktop, though. So I'm getting... You had your computer situation. I have my phone.

I had basically wiped my phone. Oh, that's fun. How'd that go for you? Restored it from a backup. Still going. Still restoring from a backup. Yeah. And for whatever reason...

But for whatever reason, the problem is, I think I know what the problem is. I was grandfathered in a long time ago. I mean, I'm talking like 2010. Oh, right. Or nine for like an account. We have a listener or had a little. listener that worked at Dropbox. He still listens when he doesn't work there anymore.

But at the time, he says, I'll give you the great big account for free. You're just in there forever. You never have to worry about it. Here you go. Have fun. So I still have that account. And it still works unless I'm doing a new install of Dropbox. And then it goes nuts because it doesn't understand what my account is.

It's been too many years. I don't have. See, that's a thing I don't have. He never set me up with a big account. but he gave me free support or something or something like that. I get some secondary, which I'm not complaining about, but I did get some sort of secondary deal. Well, now it's bite me in the ass because it won't work.

So I don't know what I'm going to do with that. I still get on, I can do the web version. No problem. I see your, you know, I see your songs in there. Like it's all, the account shows I have everything. But yes, it is Ryan, Icore. Do you know Ryan? Where's Ryan these days?

This is a little bit late. I was going to do this one before Christmas, but that's all right. This week we lost Gordon Goodwin, one of the most influential big band leaders, arrangers and jazz composers of the 21st century. his big band music is what got me into jazz in high school and why I stuck with playing even today. Not only was his big band music amazing, but he was also a prolific arranger and composer for movies such as his work on The Incredibles and The Incredibles too, and many of the shows you've seen at Disneyland and Disney World. Brian, could you please play his band's

cover of John Williams' song, Somewhere in My Memory from Home Alone? If you can't get this in before Christmas, his band has many other amazing covers as well. Well, I didn't get in before Christmas, but don't worry. This one is not this one is not so Christmassy that you can't enjoy it afterwards. It's really, really good. Originally by John Williams, it's somewhere in my memory here performed by Gordon

She is really here. Isn't it funny? The person's vagina that you exited is now at the front door wall. Ha! I know she's got another car load of homeless bags, so she's doing... Oh, she puts homeless people in bags? What? Well, she calls the homeless people bags.

That's what she calls her. I'm not saying I'm going to fuck this lady. I'm not going to probably ever do anything with her again. I say, do you have the time? Hold on. Let me squirt some milk from my anus. Okay, now... You were raised, right?

Oh, Tina, I need to go get all the four skins. Get my bag. There are many reports of people with psychopsychopathy.

Psychopathy. Can't get it out of my ass or my mouth. That's the problem. It's not in my ass. It's in my mouth. Anyway, they didn't hold any boners back. No, there were no boners left on the table. Packed them up, put them in, all the boners.

That's what I want to do is throw up many times. That's from that documentary where Arnold told us that he gets. gets an erection whenever he works out. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I don't remember it being specifically he gets a boner during the workout. Yeah, the feeling of working out is like coming. And so I'm coming at the gym and I'm coming at home.
