All the leaves are brown, the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray, and the sky is gray. You must be crazy. The Morning Stream, we're not toys, we're action figures. Hello and welcome to TMS. This is the Morning Stream for February. 3rd, 2026. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hello.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Good morning. You're all of a sudden now coming in really low in my ears, but don't, if everything is looking good everywhere else. Let me double check and make sure I did not screw that up. Let's see. If people are still hearing you at the same volume. How about that? Oh, that's better. Yeah. Is that better?
Starting point is 00:01:55 Yeah. Oh, that thing fiddled with my volumes. Yeah. It's a volume fiddler. Y'all missed it. And the early part of the show there, we did a little bit of testing of something. And it kind of messed with my settings. But it's all good now.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Here we are now. We're all good here. How are you? How are you? Brian, it's a brand new day. We got stuff lined up. Later, Dan will be here to tell us what kind of board games we should be playing with our families and our friends. I got a big version of that coming up in June.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I don't know if I've mentioned this, but the Nurtacular board game effort is a 24-hour one this time. So nobody has to leave. There are going to be some people. I don't know who they are yet. But there will be people that park in there. Yeah, they'll be there all night long. Totally fine. Because you can do it.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I must want the ruby rod all night long. All night long. I always want the ruby rod. Are you kidding me? Yeah, of course. Who doesn't? Who doesn't want the ruby rod? Everybody wants it.
Starting point is 00:02:50 But yeah, that's going to be exciting because you'll never have to leave. And let's say you're, I don't know, you wake up at two and you just can't go back to sleep. Go down to the board game room. See what's going on in there. I wake up at 3.30 in the morning, as I usually do. I'll go down and see if there's anything going on in the board game room. Yeah, we'll see how it goes.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Anyway, today we're going to start things off with just we're pushing through these Orioles. Yes. We're pushing through these. I think we're pushing through to the end. This is the last, I mean, there's the plain vanilla, you know, probably tastes just like the, someone moved my box. Oh, no. What happened?
Starting point is 00:03:29 They were right here. You kept saw these and went, all right, that's enough of these. Oh, right. Really? Well, hold on. I think she thought we were. Maybe. Where did they go?
Starting point is 00:03:46 Carter move them. Now, she knows how it was testing these. All right. Oh, no. This is going to be a fun part of the show. We're going to actually. All right. This is really funny.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Should I talk about my movies? Well, we're going to do a live call here. All right. Let's see if we, yeah. Oh, you're calling her. I thought you're texting her. No, I'm going to call her. We're going to get her on the phone.
Starting point is 00:04:04 phone. Hold on. Hilarious. Why, I want this work. Okay, here we go. We're going to get her on. Sorry, Dad. Me and Alicia finished off the whole box. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me. Hey, did you take the box of Oreos that we're down here? Yeah, they're over by Carter's desk. Lame. Well, at least they're just down here. I'll go get them. We're not to test some of that are in there, so that's why. You're on the air. So you're on the air, so you're on the air at the gym. All right, have fun at the gym. All right, she's gone. All right. Let me go grab that, Brian. Okay, sounds good. That's really funny.
Starting point is 00:04:41 So that was not Carter. I guess that was Kim telling Scott where the box was. Very good. Now is the box empty is the question? Are there cookies in the box? That's what we need to find out. Can't even keep a box of Oreos without people moving it. How empty is the box?
Starting point is 00:04:57 Is it? Uh, we're okay. Hold on. What did I just do? Uh, okay, there we go. Yeah. What the hell was that? I don't know, but here's what it sounded like to me.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Uh, we're a... And then everything went haywire for a split second on video. I think I had a brief brownout. Oh, really? Hey, it's going great today. Today's a great day, everybody. Everything's working great. Shit.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Did Puxatani Phil predict this business? No kidding. All right. So as soon as I sat at the box down, it went blip and everything went blip. Oh, wonder if you said it like, uh... There's nothing here. It was like a, um, uh, static electricity from you moving in coming back. Maybe. It's a good point.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I thought I was kind of free of that, but anyway. All right, which one did we not done? This is the one you're looking for. I don't think we've done the raspberry blueberry ones. I don't think. I don't think we did either. Yeah, because I think those were leading, those were leading for a while in the, uh, in the polls and then then peach grape shot forward. Yeah, the grape one got up in front. So I think you're right. These are where we're at. Again, credit to Matthew Bach for these. Um, speaking of board games. that guy's going to truck down a ton of them
Starting point is 00:06:09 It's going to be awesome And now that I'm consolidating all my Marvel United I can easily bring You know a box or two And the And the play mat The giant mat Circular map that everything goes on
Starting point is 00:06:26 Do you guys want to see my favorite thing that Brian has done recently Can I share this? Are you okay with me sharing this from yesterday? I mean it was on the show It was on the show share the heck out of it. All right, here we go. This just made me laugh.
Starting point is 00:06:38 I had to capture this one clip. Yesterday, Brian was showing us all his boxes. And the way he just tosses these. There's no volume. But anyway, tosses these to the side. Good Lord. There he goes. I love that so much.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Anyway. Yeah, I broke down, broke down all those boxes yesterday to put on the recycling. There's a little bit of, you know, you're consolidating all the parts of all these games into one big box. It's great. You feel good about like, oh, my God, the amount of space I'm getting back on my game shelf is going to be amazing. But there's also, oh, there's all this great big Marvel art that I'm throwing away. Like it's, you know.
Starting point is 00:07:20 It feels weird, right? It feels weird. Like this is, you know, these boxes are the only place I have this cool Marvel art of these of these minis. But whatever. Yeah, it'll be. It'll all work out in the end. Did I play this yet? Play this lady. Would you not eat my pants?
Starting point is 00:07:37 I can't remember we played her. If we didn't, now I did. And now we're going to test the bear, what is it? Two berries. It's a blueberry raspberry. Blueberry raspberry. It seems like an odd pairing. Her scream is less about her pants being eaten and more about what noise can I make to drive this goat away.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I mean, I feel like a, that's what I do. I would yell at the goat. That's what I would do. Ooh, these smell very fruity. Oh, yeah. But it's that fake Oreo fruity smell. Yeah, like this didn't come off no tree. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:11 But let's give it. I guess they grow on bushes, these two berries, but anyway. Zaitam, those boxes cannot be folded flat. Those Marvel United boxes, they are the rigid, full-on box kind. You have to break them to fold them down. This isn't bad. I getting kind of a perfume vibe, though. Oh, I was going to do.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah, very much a perfume vibe. Oh, look at that. It broke almost perfectly on the two flavor profiles. but they don't get along turns out it's all right it's a little it's like eating candy you know I feel like I just date a handful of nerds yeah and I'm not really getting blueberry out of that nerds for sure actually I'm not really getting either berry out of that I'm just getting a sharp candy flavor mm-hmm like candy like a perfume yeah perfumed cotton candy that's the combo
Starting point is 00:09:03 that's what they should put on here Oh you know what I do like I like the one English bit on here This part on the back where they Yeah with the um That's cool Well do they do each one I mean there's not a flavor that looks like
Starting point is 00:09:16 Checkerboard That's a good point What is that? It's just like a fun little Okay Logo what's the green The green could be I guess The grape or the
Starting point is 00:09:27 I guess I don't know The only one that's right is the gelatinous slime Yeah the two O's are the same but the um yeah it's like um the r is missing a render like missing a um it's missing a uh you didn't load the correct shader for that r oops oh yeah look at that that's kind of funny and the e is clearly slimer from ghostbusters uh in a new shape could be it could be a i stuff
Starting point is 00:10:00 might be. Sometimes those are the flaws you see in an AI image. It could be. Never know. Brian, you've been watching a lot of movies. Tell me about what you saw. I've been watching a lot of movies. So while we're waiting for
Starting point is 00:10:12 the secret agent and sentimental value to come to streaming, those are the last two of the best picture nominees that we still have to see, we decided to move over to the one best actress nomination that we have in the scene yet, which is, um, oh my God, why am I forgetting your name? The movie is, if I had legs, I'd kick you.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Oh, uh, Roseburn. Roseburn. Love her. She's fantastic and she, she's one of those, uh, actresses that can do comedy and drama and all that stuff really well. And very good at the cringe stuff like that, um, that physical, I think it was called. No, what was it called? the exercise show
Starting point is 00:11:00 like where she was this this manic kind of recent ish yeah kind of recent um see that was called was it called physical not platonic hold on let's see yeah physical that's it
Starting point is 00:11:14 tv series physical 20 yeah 2021 to 2023 and she's really good in platonic too actually we've been watching that and I'd say if even if you're not a Seth Rogan fan this she kind of saves the show she's really really good.
Starting point is 00:11:28 He's in two episodes of Bluey and that's enough to put her in legendary status for me. Bluey. Anyway, so this is a movie called If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You. And it is, it's kind of marketed as a drama, a dark comedy drama. And I'd say that it is the most stressful movie I think I'd ever, I've ever seen. So she is a, yeah, she is a woman who, and it's good, but God, let me, you know, let me, let me, let me warn you that if you if you're very susceptible to getting stressed out by movies and one of the safeties i think benny saffey might have been a producer on this thing
Starting point is 00:12:09 oh he's good at stress he's really good at stress exactly um but basically she is a she is a therapist who is also the mother of a um of a daughter who is some some uh uh feeding disorder. Basically, she's got to get her food through a tube. Oh, okay. And so the movie kind of begins with them getting home and seeing some water on the floor
Starting point is 00:12:37 and a giant hole in their apartment from the ceiling has dropped a ton of water in their house or in their apartment because the pipes burst upstairs. And so it's like, I'm out. I know, exactly. And so they have to go and live in a motel. and so she and her husband who you don't see until the very end but turns out to be Christian Slater. I don't know if that's not really a spoiler because it's not like it's stunt casting or anything. But he's a way on business, but he's also like, oh, well, why don't you go down to the house and figure out what's going on?
Starting point is 00:13:19 Or make sure that they're up there fixing the apartment, the whole apartment or do this. I don't know why you're not doing this. and he's he's constantly like telling her what to do her therapist is constantly telling her what to do played by Conan O'Brien that's so weird it's so weird and it's gonna be it's gotta be one of the first times the host of the Oscars is in one of the big four nominated oh I wonder about that yeah the movies that are in the big oh that's not actually didn't um uh the one where they paired him uh oh and hathaway and uh What was it James Frank? James Franco, I think so. It was James Franco. He was up for 20s.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And Hathaway was. He was up for the one with his arm cutting off and she was maybe up for something else. Right, 28 days later, or 27 hours later. Yeah, but that might be it. That might be the only other time this has happened as far as I know. That's a good, that's a really good point, uh, point. But, um, basically she, oh, and ASAP Rocky is also in this thing too. And he's, he's great as well.
Starting point is 00:14:19 You know, Rihanna's baby daddy. Oh, yeah. With the dollar sign for the yes. Yes, exactly. There he is. We should call him a dollar app Rocky. A dollar apiece, Rocky. A dollar apiece, Rocky. I like it. Big fan. How is he? Is he good? He's great. Oh, he's really good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:38 He's got, I hear he has chops, but I don't think I've seen anything he's in. Yeah. Other videos and stuff, music. Yeah, no. He's really good in this as well. It's a great cast, Rose Byrne. The camera spends so much time tight on. her face throughout the whole movie that sometimes you don't you never see the daughter um oh you never do asterisk oh okay all right uh we'll let that uh we'll let that slide we don't know we don't want to spoil anything right exactly um and for the most part you don't see all the people in her life until kind of until more
Starting point is 00:15:21 um what's the until she spends more time with them or until more uh more time passes with those characters for example she's in therapy and you're focused in tight on her face and it's a while before you see conan o'brien is her therapist even though you hear his voice right um and then you finally finally see him but she um it's a great example of somebody who is who has Everybody in her life telling her, oh, we're here to help. We want to help you. We want to help you. And when she asks for help, all they do is say stuff like, okay, well, take some deep breaths.
Starting point is 00:15:59 You know, that's how you're going to solve this problem. And she's like, no, deep breaths aren't going to solve this. I've got a daughter whose machine is going off all night with the food, you know, feeding tube and keeps waking me up. And I need to do that. So I don't get a good night's sleep. I've got a husband who's far away who's not helpful. I've got a therapist who's not helping me out, et cetera. Like basically, the director said that she was kind of going for that feeling that,
Starting point is 00:16:30 quit being hysterical, slap, you know, that kind of thing, except in a more modern situation of like the, you know, everybody's saying, oh, here to help, here to help. And when she needs the help, she's not actually getting it. Um, she deserves the nomination for sure. She's amazing in this thing. Um, but boy, it is a, it's a movie that I'd only recommend if, if the stress of uncut gems was your favorite part of that movie. That's a really interesting question because I really like uncut gems.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah. But I'm unsure what, what it is that I like. And I'm not. It's hard for me to say why I like that movie. Yeah. There is something about the energy of it. Maybe I would like it. It sounds like a lot more.
Starting point is 00:17:21 See, the thing is, Sandler's character kind of deserved what he got. Yeah. Or at least the way the film works, he kind of ended up where you're going to end up in that situation. Yes. This feels different because I'm not sure she deserves any of this, the way you've described it. Yeah, you'll have to see, she's not completely without flaw. I'll just leave it as that. She's, you know, she, there's no doubt that she cares about her daughter and that she wants to do everything she can.
Starting point is 00:17:54 But she also, you know, she takes a little baby monitor and goes out to smoke some pot. Ah. In case, you know, her daughter wakes up and things like that. So it would be interesting if this movie was just about like a Cotton Hill guy that didn't have full legs. And if he had him, he'd kick you. Right. It would be. Based on that title.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Tina's like, oh, so this is a movie about, I'm guessing she's, you know, paraplegic. I'm like, no, no, she's, she's got legs. It's metaphorical, I guess. It's metaphorical. Sure. But if they pick one scene for them to show the Oscars, I really hope it's a scene where she, she takes, she drops a pizza in a box and it lands cheese side down. So all the cheese sticks to the lid of the box. Oh, that's.
Starting point is 00:18:41 She takes. I'm out again. I'm out again. I can't see this movie. She takes an entire pizza slice of cheese and slowly shoves it in her mouth without, like, basically all in one bite with her mouth. Oh, no, no thanks. Full of greasy pizza cheese. That's the one I want, that's what I want them to show. I hope they, you know, when they, you're talking about, like, when they do the little cuts about.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Yeah. And Roseburn, and everyone goes. Exactly. And then it fades and then it's like her eating pizza. And it's just for going, oh, oh. That'd be amazing. Yeah. That's what they should have done with the shrimp face thing in the substance.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Oh, God, for the substance. Yeah. Oh, geez. Anyway, so if I had legs, I'd kick you. How many legs, the kicking legs do you give it out of ten? Boy, it's, it's, I don't want to make it sound like it's a bad movie, but it is clearly not going to be for everyone. So I will say, if you like the feeling of getting kicked by four legs, this is the movie
Starting point is 00:19:40 for you. All right. I like that. that's better than stars. I like that a lot. It's better than better than stars. The other movie we saw this one in the theaters was Send Help. We talked a little bit about this in the pre-show of film sex.
Starting point is 00:19:52 So I'll just go really quickly. But it is Sam Ramey directing Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, basically asking the question, what would happen if Castaway was two people? And one of them was a horrible boss. And the other one was a frumpy, a frumpy, but a talented office worker who never gets the credit that she deserves.
Starting point is 00:20:21 This is another one that does a really good job of making you question who you're rooting for at any given time. All right. Okay. Again, I'll be. I think even the trailers sort of indicate that, but it's hard to tell what this is a little bit. Yeah, exactly. but basically in a movie starts off in their office. This is not a spoiler.
Starting point is 00:20:46 This is in the trailer. Starts off in their office. They're basically trying to figure out a way she's like a really good worker, but it's a dude bro who takes over the company and he's like the kind dude only want attractive people working for him. And she, even though Rachel McAnams is absolutely beautiful, they do some stuff to make her look very unattractive,
Starting point is 00:21:07 kind of like what they did with, Cameron Diaz in Bing John Malkovich. Oh, okay. I get the vibe. Or Charlize Theron and Monster. Sure. They frump her up a lot. They frump her up a lot.
Starting point is 00:21:25 And through some events, they're on a plane. The plane crashes in the ocean, and she and this horrible boss make it to this island. And because of her survival training, or her, you know, she's a fan of Survivor. No. The TV show Survivor, she's able to to kind of take over things there and become the new boss.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Sam Ramey's daughters in this. Her name is Emma Ramey. Here's her picture. You probably remember seeing her in there. Oh, yeah, okay. Probably some office part, if I had to guess. I think so. Yeah, she's a co-worker of, yeah, of Rachel McAdams' character.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Gotcha. Very cool. Also, I see Denny. Is Dennis Haysbert or are you in good hands? Yep. But I assume you're going to get mostly these two chuckleheads because you're getting most of the movie is those two chuckleheads. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Dylan O'Brien's pretty good. I like him. Yeah. He's, man, he can play a dick. Yeah. Yeah, he's good at it. Good at the dick. You got to play in the dick.
Starting point is 00:22:30 I guess he was in, he was the voice of Bumblebee and the Transformers, Bumblebee movie. Oh. that's a weird one I actually like that movie a lot I guess as much as Bumblebee had a voice in that like he well the first
Starting point is 00:22:46 Oh that's right Bumblebee in that installment did have a voice It was the Bumblebee in the first Transformers movie That communicated only view of it. Yeah it was a prequel so it had I can't remember how it went but there was something like that Yeah I like that movie a lot
Starting point is 00:23:00 But I can't remember the details of any of it Yeah anyway so there you go I'd recommend that. Recommend send help. If you like Sam Rameo movies, you get everything you want in a Sam Ramee movie, right? So a little bit of body horror, a scene where somebody chases a character with a camera.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Lo to the ground. Who keeps looking back, low to the ground. Yeah, exactly. You can't make movies without that. He even did that in the Spider-Man stuff once in a while. He did. Exactly. He figured out a way to do it.
Starting point is 00:23:27 So anyway, that's send help, and that's still in theaters right now. How many SOS is out of 10? Oh, I would give it, Um, I would give it, uh, three and a half life pervert, life preservers. Oh, okay. That's not bad. Out of five or out of ten? Out of five. Out of five. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. Not bad. Yeah. Not bad at all.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I think, I think if I had legs, I would kick you as a better movie. But, um, but I think send help is going to be a wider audience appreciation. Sure. Kind of thing. Yeah, I could see that. It's like, like, like, um, but I think send help is going to be a wider audience appreciation. Sure. Sure. It's like, Heat and uncut gems. Both great movies. Right. One of those is for you and one of those may not be for you.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Correct. Well, great. That's very cool. While we're here, let's do a little bit of this right here. We have some news to report and it's brought to you by. Get your nerdtacular tickets today while the getting's good. Go to frogpants.com slash nerdtacular. Yeah, go in there.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Get it. Get it. Do it. Here's the deal. Ohio has a true crime restaurant. Really? Yeah. It serves... A true crime restaurant.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah, so what it does is it serves serial killers last meals. And it's gone so well. It's gone so well they're opening a new one in Michigan. So that's happening. Okay. That's very interesting. Yeah. So you could go in there and say, you know, I want, I don't know, Al Capone's last meal.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I want. Yeah. Yeah. You know, whatever Jeffrey Dahlmery before he got killed. Here's what's great. Do you know what the meal is or do you say I'll take the Ted Bundy? Oh, I don't know. I assume you know. I would assume you'd have to kind of know what the food was, right? All right. I don't know because what if somebody had a twinkie with ketchup on it or something? Then they didn't do it right. Yeah. It is a little bit weird. But anyway, the nation's first true crime themed restaurant where you can order the final meals of some of history's most reviled criminals is opening a second location. The final meal, it's called, uh, open. last year in Galleon, Ohio. I don't know how we missed this story.
Starting point is 00:25:38 It would have been perfect for the show when it opened. Totally, yeah. Became so popular, it requires reservations. I mean, true crime's a huge genre here. People love documentaries and the books and podcasts. Like the third or fourth most popular podcasts in the world are true crime ones. Easily, yeah. It's where we're at.
Starting point is 00:25:54 It basically goes, call her daddy, Rogan, true crime. Yeah. Probably not even Rogan anymore. I think there's. I think he's number one right now. Oh, is he really? Well, I know he is on Spotify, but that may not count because that's where he lives. But you got Rogan.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Last I saw it was Rogan, that Sean Ryan show. And then who was, oh, the Amy Poller's bumped up to third. Amy Poller's good hang. Yeah, good. And then I'm sure she saw a big bump from that award and all that. Hers is it. She deserves to be on there. She's really good and fun.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Yeah, I need to. Wholesome in a weird way. I went to the dentist yesterday and I listened to David Spade and Dana Carvey fly on the wall. But it wasn't an interview. It was just one of their, like, it was their version of the morning stream where they sit and chat and talk about recent news and stuff like that. And, you know, the great thing about Lovitz. Oh, yeah, I love Lovitz. Acting.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yeah, that's Lovitz. You remember when he first met Lauren Michaels? Oh, hello, you must be John Lovitz. I feel like you're reading the template of way too many podcasts right now. That is every episode of Fly on the Wall. It's like, how can we steer things back to Lauren Michael? into a Lauren Michael's impersonation. You do get some fun backdrop on
Starting point is 00:27:08 SNL stuff on her show. But it's none of that. Oh, on hers. Amy Poller, yeah. You don't get any of the like, it's not just like an excuse to do another voice of something. Yeah. They're actually talking about crap that happens.
Starting point is 00:27:20 It's a really, it's quite good. It deserves the love it's getting right now, I think. Anyway, one of the restaurant owners, Nate Thompson said, he's a Michigan native who owns the Michigan Museum of Horror. He spoke to ML Live or M Live, whatever that is. and said he would always thought it would be unique to have a restaurant where you could eat the same last meals as famous executed criminals. I'm very excited to bring the last meal to Michigan. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I think it's creepy and weird. I don't think I don't want it. It is creepy and weird. I know. I'm like, it's kind of funny that they do this, but then, uh,
Starting point is 00:27:55 yeah, let's see. Like, would you go once just to see, you know, I don't even know if I need to. I think I just want to see what the last meal menu. Here we go. Here's the menu. Meals based on historically accurate last meal request. So the John Wayne Gacy.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I don't. Oh, that sounds gross. I'd have to choose somebody with less cereal killiness. I know. There's so many like, all right, six piece fried chicken wing bucket, fried shrimp, side of fresh strawberries and French fries. I mean, that sounds good on its own. But then the whole time I'm thinking that guy buried kids in his basement. totally totally i think i would be more inclined to go like what was al capone eating his last time or what did uh i don't see they only show me page one on this uh thing i went to the eileen warnos so speaking of uh monster and charlie's therein a sinister smash burger with cheese and onions and a cup of coffee i mean again on their own they sound fine but yeah what do they charge for that they should they give you prices uh 999 for the aline warnos but 1599 for the six piece fried chicken wings
Starting point is 00:29:02 bucket fried shrimp, strawberries and french fries. Gosh, dang, that guy could eat. Yeah. I mean, it does feel icky, right? Like, like,
Starting point is 00:29:16 I wouldn't, I wouldn't order the John Wayne Gacy, not because I don't want that food, but because it feels like, I mean, this is a guy who killed kids and dressed up as a clown and, like, got kids into his,
Starting point is 00:29:27 you know, in his house and that sort of thing. I don't think I'm this level of weird. I couldn't do it. But now the Bonnie and Clyde for whatever reason feels like, all right, there's, you know, having people who, by the way, they were gunned down. So they never really had a last meal. Well, same with Al Capone. He died of a heart attack or something or syphilis or whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:47 So, like, I don't know if they do those kind of things. Right. Is that on there? Is there a Bonnie and Clyde? The Bonnie and Clyde is a fried bologna sandwich with mustard for $6.99. And how do they know that was the last thing they ate before they got gunned down in that? Here's what they said. While never given a proper last meal, it is said that the pair ate this not long before they were gunned down.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Okay. Those, for whatever reason, are way less hardcore to me. It feels less harsh, yeah. The Victor figure figure. I don't know who that is, the Victor. No idea. That is a single olive for $2.99. Guy was not hungry at the end.
Starting point is 00:30:25 No, but how do you charge $2.99 for a single olive and feel like you're... We're not ripping people off, yeah. ripping people off. That's, yeah, it's not great. Let's see. Oh, I do have a page two. Okay, hold on a second. Jack the Ripper or Jacks,
Starting point is 00:30:38 oh, these are the drink menus. Jack's Ripper, pomegranate juice, Blackberry Serip. I mean, this is just basically them coming up with, filling in the gaps. Yeah, like here's drinks that are, are not, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:52 related to the serial killers, but are named after them kind of thing. Chat room mentioned Haas's last meal, the dude from, let's see, the Auschwitz, the Auschwitz horrible guy. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. I think it was Claire. Somebody in there said it. I looked it up.
Starting point is 00:31:13 He made a confession, received the Echrist, here we go. Oh, it does not, no, no, we don't know what he, oh, he requested a cup of coffee. That was it. They got hanged. Right. Yep. Get some coffee, you know, stimulate yourself with caffeine, and then, do you know, do on a rope. I'm curious to see
Starting point is 00:31:32 if there's another this again, it feels like oh, do they serve it? It looks like they serve it on prison food trays. Prison bread. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. All right. I mean, look, if there was one here and I was like, I'm doing this for, to talk about on the show,
Starting point is 00:31:48 I might go by and I might get the Capone or some shit like that. Something. But I'm not, I'm not in there to get like, what did they think that Dahlmer ate before he died? The John Wayne Gacy
Starting point is 00:31:59 just, It just feels creepy and gross to do that. Yeah, I don't like it. What they do is there a Bundy? Don't tell me. I don't know. It's probably on there. There's a Bundy drink.
Starting point is 00:32:09 There's a Burn Bundy Burn, which is chilled shot of spicy watermelon. Because that's what they used to say. Tahine mix. That was the thing. Lime juice and a pepper. They would stand outside the prison and chant burn Bundy Burn. Bundy Burn.
Starting point is 00:32:24 So that means they don't know what he had or what he ate. I guess so. The Elizabeth. within Duncan a sirloin steak and a salad why is that so pedestrian weird it really feels like okay
Starting point is 00:32:41 yeah very weird well anyway I don't know yeah I think uh I'd rather see you know what here's a better idea for a restaurant you ready yeah uh food meals that people ordered in movies
Starting point is 00:32:57 so give me the um the the Jack Nicholson that he ordered in, was it five easy pieces? Oh, yeah. That's great. You could get the steak that Joey Pants got in the Matrix, the Matrix steak. Right, yes. And he can say, ah, my brain is telling me this is the most delicious steak I've ever eaten.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Yep, you could go, you know what? That's a cool restaurant. That I would go to, right? A big Cahuna burger. Exactly. Yeah, but because the whole world is full of freak shows, they all want to have freaking death food, dead people food. Right, exactly. Oh, the Matrix steak.
Starting point is 00:33:34 I would eat that. Go for the groundhog day where, you know, Dill Marie does this whole, I'm not the god, but I'm a god where he's going. Pastries in front of him. Old brother were arted out chicken friccacy with the cyclops. John Goodman's chicken friccacy. You could do a little bit of the old.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Oh, my God, the Meg Ryan, when Harry met Sally, this on the side. And then this, but this, but not. too toasting. Yeah, you could do all of it. I love the. Tronwater. Dude, Red Links is thinking like me.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Tron water. I 100% would buy Tron water. Oh my God. I love this. This is great. Isn't this just Planet Hollywood, Bombat says? I don't think they do all this.
Starting point is 00:34:17 I don't think they do either. I think it's more like just, you know, shit on the walls, but I think you're still ordering just a burger. I don't know. Maybe they do have like a... Yeah, but they don't base it on something somebody did. They'll go like, here's the Johnny Cashburger,
Starting point is 00:34:29 but it's just because it's dark and got mushroom. trims and you know exactly right it's a little hot because it's got a burning ring of fire or whatever here's the funny thing the five dollar shake from pulp fiction will be a bargain because you can't get a five dollar shake anywhere else nope don't exist anymore that was at the time in 1984 it was really expensive to get a five dollar shake now it's like where can I get one of those yeah I'd take I think you can get maybe eight is where you're going to be at the bottom level now eight bucks yeah unless it's like a fast food shake yeah whatever Oh, bottle-tron water.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I want that so bad. All right, guys, time to shift gears. Time to do a little bit of the old, what are we doing this weekend with our tables. Here's a tangent for him. Be careful. May cause drowsiness. The man, the myth, the legend, joins us. It's Dan.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I almost said Tractonburg, director of predator, badlands. What I meant to say was Dan Petrachtenberger. Petratchenberger. Lord of all the board games. What's going on, man? It's good to have you here. Hey, you think that the bookkeeper at the end of the end of the. end of the month looks over and says, hey, Brian, five people bought one damn olive.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I mean, they make a lot of money on that. Why are we wasting menu space on a single olive? Yeah. If you look, but look, if enough, if, let's say, I don't know, 12 people bought an olive during the week. Yeah. You're not even done with your, with your bottle of olives. You haven't used the jar up. Yeah. And you've made so much money. Your margins on the olives are outrageous at $2.99. silly. It's unreal. That's crazy here and all that. Have you guys ever thought of what your last meal would be? Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Dang. No, no, no, this is good. I mean, I would probably do surf and turf. I wouldn't do sushi only because I don't know how long you would take, how long that sushi would be sitting around from the sushi restaurant to the prison warden to the, at the, you know, at least I know if I'm getting surfing turf, they're cooking it at the place. Well, but you want something as stinky as possible so that when they're cleaning your carcass after you put the death it smells like crap that's a good point that's a good point
Starting point is 00:36:36 oh geez yes the spiciest wings you could possibly find anywhere definitely definitely some sort of seafood whether it be shrimp or something you know just to speak up the joint something like a lot of kimchi or something i feel like i would be um that actually feeds into mine i would do a a medium rare steak covered in equal amounts of mushrooms like grilled mushroom or uh what do you call them sauteed mushrooms and kimchi there you go so good with steak
Starting point is 00:37:06 that's all I'd need that right there that's it I wash it down with some water don't even need a fancy drink all these serial killers with their freaking coffees before they die what are they doing?
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah that's crazy yeah because you're just irregular when you die give me a NyQuil cocktail I mean let me yeah let me drift off let me drift off
Starting point is 00:37:24 that's a good idea will they give you alcohol the first injection is drifting you off anyway So, you might as well have a whole lot of alcohol too. Yeah, I mean, that's my question. If I went in there with like a heavy duty 50 milligram gummy to prepare, would that mess with the chemical?
Starting point is 00:37:41 Because you'll know this, Dan. You're a chemist guy. How about this? Could I do like a, let me get a top sirloin steak and to drink. How about poison antidote? Well, you're not technically being poison, but that would be cruel and unusual, I guess. But, I mean, basically to dumb it all down, basically what they're doing is you're putting you to sleep in a way and then just stopping your heart. That's pretty much what all is going on.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Right. Right. Right. They're inducing kind of an, it's like an early death in the same way that you might die naturally, but they speed it up. Yeah. With chemicals. But would it, would that, would my gummy mess with that cocktail? That's the question.
Starting point is 00:38:22 No, because you're not stopping, you're not stopping the meds that, that are stopping your heart. Okay. Pretty much with almost anything. Nothing you can ingest by mouth is really going to counteract that. Okay. That's good to know when I get thrown into prison to death row. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all pans out. Now you know what to ask for.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Oh, good. So I got a couple things. So Johnson, do you want, I'll let you decide. Do you want to start off with the more casual game or do you want to start off with the heavier, heavier game? Let's start with, let's go casual than heavy. Okay. So this kind of really, it hits almost in a theme that we've got going on here.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Because if you're a serial killer, you're going to want to have an alibi. And the game we're going to talk about is alibis. This is a lighter game from AllPlay. I usually put them in the chat room. We put it in the chat room for it. Our little Discord chat room here for you. There's one from 2025 and one from 2024. So I'm guessing it's the newer of the two.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Yeah, it's the newer one. This is a lighter kind of party game. I like these games because these are, what I would call either your kind of fun, either bar games, or you could definitely play this at said restaurant while you're waiting for your food for your last meal to come at that restaurant. Because, so think about like the way party games have changed over like the last 10 to 15 years. There was a time. We were talking about this on the last year of All-Stars where they had these games where
Starting point is 00:39:48 they were all kind of like improv type games where you're, you know, secretly doing this or that and you're trying to improv. But the problem is people like, Asual gamers, that's very anxiety. Like improv is anxiety-inducing, an large group. So the games have kind of evolved more now with code names and things. This is kind of, I described this as code names. Code names meets just one.
Starting point is 00:40:10 So what you have here, let's just say we're playing five people. You'll have 11 words on a board, and there'll be like 11 supervillains, you know, pictures of supervillains that are out there. Everybody's going to get two numbers. And so they'll be basically two times number players plus. So basically you have two numbers that you're trying to get everybody to guess those words and you've got like a little dry erase board and then you're putting a word down. Now after all five of us have given our word, basically one at a time you're going to give your word and then everybody's going to kind of put your little, there's a little symbol on each one of these. Yeah, I'm looking at one of them here.
Starting point is 00:40:44 The word chicken has a plus symbol up in the corner. Exactly. So there is a one picture that has kind of like your dry erase board and then you're going to put like what you think the plus goes to like for the two different words. And then after all five of us have gone, there's going to be one person with a blank. And basically, it's a co-op game where you're trying to figure out who the supervillain is after all these clues. It's just a real fun, party game, you know, a real fun casual party game that kind of takes things. You know, like I said, it just takes things in a little direction. It's real fun, not very anxiety-inducing.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I mean, there's a way to score, but who the hell cares when you're playing a game like this? We care about the score. You're just trying to have fun figuring out who, you know, if you get it right. Let's talk about how dumb my brain is. I see this photo. All right. It's got all the cards all laid out. You got your cool little icons for like the handcuffs and all that.
Starting point is 00:41:32 And there's your little dry erase panels that you hand out. And then you have your dry erase pens over there. And my brain doesn't go, oh, man, that looks like fun. My brain goes, those are all going to dry out and I'm going to be pissed. I hate that I think that. But every game I've ever gotten that had dry erase pens. I always had this problem. It's like, well, we could go down to the target.
Starting point is 00:41:52 And I'm like, well, the party's in a half an hour. It's like, I hate that feeling. Plus, those are the great ones that have the little erasers on them, which is like, great. So now I need to keep a separate pen, dry race pen that doesn't have an eraser. Right. Right. Now you got a big pile of pens. Who's having fun now?
Starting point is 00:42:09 Nobody. I have to say lately, I don't know if it's an industry thing or maybe most of the games that I've played or only within the last couple years. Lately, the pens have been really, really good. And this is how geeky I am. When I opened up the pen on this and I saw it right now, I was like, oh, these pens are better than almost any dry erase pen I've used in these games. There's just something about the way they made them.
Starting point is 00:42:29 There was kind of like a little bit of point because you know when you get those markers or dry race pens like they all just kind of fray at the end and they're just like nobody's reading what I'm writing with this thing. It's like a, you know, like a paintbrush by the time you're done with it. These had a really good point and they wrote so well. Now I don't know how long it'll necessarily last. I just hope it'll be good but it seems like in the minor weird advances in technology and board gaming, this seems to be a pretty good one lately is that the
Starting point is 00:42:54 pens have been decent. Yeah, I think this looks cool. I don't might be the most geeky statement I've said in about 10 years. I agree, dude. Your nerd cred went, I don't know if it went up or down, but it went somewhere. It went one direction or another. Well, that's fantastic. So that's our light and casual folks.
Starting point is 00:43:13 And that's a 20 minute. I mean, you play this in 20 minutes and you're just going to keep playing. Again, again, perfect for whether you're out at a bar and just, you know, kind of a nice casual area or just, again, I love. I love your holiday gatherings. This is perfect for that. This is the, let's just play type game. And it feels like such a great evolution of code names too.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Like this, you know, yeah. And you can't be in a game like this that's gonna be like 20 bucks. I mean, you'll be running around, you'll be looking at a big target or something, you'd be like, oh, this isn't expensive. Let's just grab this. I heard good things about this one. Just grab it.
Starting point is 00:43:46 And a real small box too, and a small fingerprint, you know, a table fingerprint, so to speak. So you know, you don't need a whole lot of room. The next one, well, you'll need a, a whole lot more room for. And although, although I say this is heavier, again, I would teach this to you guys and Scott, you would absolutely love this. This is an interesting one to talk about too. This is called game is called Covenant. This one came out this year by DeVir games. Now, DeVir is known for a lot of games in a small box, but this box happens to be larger than most of DeVir's
Starting point is 00:44:15 other games made by German Milan, who also did Betoku, which was a larger game, very, very colorful for game. This game covenant, it's, it's going to look, it's going to be a little different than what you think it like is by looking at it. So you're basically a bunch of dwarves and you're kind of mining into the, you know, kind of the under dark into the mines. Now, again, this is a Euro game where it kind of seems like the fantasy theme seems like it's all fighty, fighty. No, this is just basically a Euro game with that, you know, fantasy theme. I love the art by the way. The art is amazing. It's really cool. It has that really cool different type of art that's not overwerewere. overwhelming and doesn't put you off.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Yeah. It reminds me of Klaus, the Santa Claus cartoon. Yeah. Yeah. It's a great, that's a good call. That's a very similar style. I think that is a underused look. It is.
Starting point is 00:45:06 It's nice to see it. And you're basically doing on your turn one of like pretty much four different actions and you have dwarves that you'll kind of level up through the game and have a different power of the action. And then you're basically kind of either going up different tracks. There's like three or four different tracks that you're going up and getting rewards for things you're kind of digging out the mountain side, you're fighting, you know, quote unquote, fighting, which basically is just, do you have enough strength, you know, how much,
Starting point is 00:45:28 the strength that you have of your action, how many of these monsters can you beat up? Because they have basically like trolls, cobalds and goblins or something like that, orcs and goblins. And they all have different strengths. So there's like one is one is two is one is three. So depending on your strength, you're defeating some of them. You're getting rewards for them. And as you're kind of digging into the mountain, you're going to get certain rewards.
Starting point is 00:45:47 It's going to uncover different things and you're going to be building kind of gates or or other different buildings there that will get you other rewards. You're kind of getting, you're powering up your actions with different chits or, you know, kind of upgrading your actions so they're more powerful. You're slotting things into your actions. It's really not. Again, I always like to say this. Everybody drink, since I say this all the time, once you speak the language of the game, everything just makes sense. Like right now, Scott, I'm sure you're looking at this going, man, this blows.
Starting point is 00:46:14 There's no way. No, I think this looks really cool. I just, but you're right that if you look at it without any knowledge, it's like, whoa, That's overwhelming. But then, like you say, the best games are the ones that once you get it, it's just like you get it, you know? And then it's intuitive. So, so good.
Starting point is 00:46:31 This is a lot of fun. This is both of these games in their own way. I mean, I try to put like a top 11 games of the year, but if I was to put like a light and, you know, heavy, they would both be at near the top of their respective kind of categories from last year. So good. These guys, these games are fun. This one's going to be a little more pricey, obviously,
Starting point is 00:46:49 because there's a bit more to it. I have to look, I think it's either $40 or $60 right now, probably about $60 that you can find it online. But it is worth it. If you do like, you know, if you're just kind of getting into gaming, I don't know if I would jump right into this. I would try before by, but if you are a gamer already, I would definitely say to pick a covenant up. And it doesn't matter whether you're a gamer, never played games or anything like that. If you've heard of code names or if you've ever played code names and liked it, alibis is a must buy for anybody out there. These are two great games.
Starting point is 00:47:19 again, be on top, very high on my games at a year left. Awesome. That's great. I had not heard, I'd heard of Alibis. I had not heard of Covenant. I guess it's new. I didn't know of either of these. Probably why. But yeah, we'll make sure these are up on
Starting point is 00:47:33 QuickTMS.L.I. You folks can track it down, grab your copy down at the local gaming concern, wherever you get your stuff. Your friendly local game store is probably. Because I don't know if Alibis is in mass market yet. It should be probably eventually, but you could probably find either one of these at any of your friendly local game stores.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Or, you know, I like to shop local first and then going on if they don't have, you know, a lot of, all areas, whenever I travel, I like to go into friend local game stores, see what they have. And every area usually has at least one good game store that has a pretty good selection. So definitely support local. Yeah. Alibis is definitely, alibis, I should say, is definitely on Amazon if you can't find anywhere else. There was also a game called Alibi by DV Games. That was some years ago, it looks like.
Starting point is 00:48:17 do not confuse it. You want the one with the S. Although the one without the S might be fine. I don't know what that game is. Fine. Might be fine, but that's not the one we're talking about. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:48:26 I don't want to besmirch it without knowing, but there it is. Dan, what else is going on? Oh, can I ask you a question real quick? It's real fast. Please do.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Why is the HEPA and B shot a double whammy one with the same syringe? Can you explain why the hell they did that to me? Because what they did is they said, do you want the cocktail? You want to do them separate? I said, what does that mean? says, well, you can get one shot and a taste care of both.
Starting point is 00:48:49 And I'm like, all right, Hep B and C together, let's do it. And it hurt like a mother effort. Yeah, all the way down into my finger. I was like, oh, are you giving me a heart attack? Like, what are you doing? And it was awful. So can you just, in some small way, can you explain why that thing is such a bastard? Well, man, hep is notoriously bad.
Starting point is 00:49:10 You know, there are certain injections, you know, certain vaccines that aren't as bad. But Hep is notorious bad. You know, everybody knows tetanus is notoriously bad. There's just something in the vehicle that it just hurts like hell. I would have to look and see what exactly the vehicle is in it that makes it hurt so bad. But it is interesting that they use the same exact syringe. I mean, you're not going to, you know, you're not going to infect yourself with anything. So using the same syringe isn't really going to hurt you.
Starting point is 00:49:38 But it's still interesting that they would use the same syringe. Well, no, what I mean is it was all in one shot. Like they didn't. Oh, I thought you meant they drew something. injected you and then drew stuff. No, no. They shot me with one. And the way I picture it, because I don't look when the needle goes in.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I don't have a problem with shots. I just can't watch them stick it in. Oh, I'm the same way, dude. Yeah, I just have to look over here. I feel the pain. It's fine. I don't think about it. But if I look, it's a problem.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Anyway, in my mind, I pictured like a two-piston end on this thing. Right? See, like, I had the goo in the middle, and then these two outshoots. It was like this big Fury Road looking right in your arm. And I never look, so I really can't tell you what was in there. I assume it's probably single syringe. Some of the different things like your CAM antagonists, like some of the new things, like different Humarez and some of the other ones,
Starting point is 00:50:25 these, you know, immunomodulators nowadays, they're using different, you know, inert ingredients or, you know, they're not binders, basically inner ingredients. I'm trying to remember if it was sodium citrate or citric acid or what it was. One of them, they're kind of changing what they're doing so that the shot hurts a little bit less. which is pretty kind of hard to do because I'm sure it's more of a regulation thing where you've got to show all the paperwork that, oh, I've changed the way, you know, change what we put things in, but it's the exact same and it works the same thing. So it's just kind of, you know, one of those things that it's probably harder to do once they figure out what can be in there. But vaccines are just tough because you're getting, you're getting some very sensitive materials that are going in there.
Starting point is 00:51:07 And once you find what works over the years, they're not changing that molecule. You know, you're not changing that solution too much. Yeah. other than when they're adding different, you know, like a triple shot or things that, you know, especially now when they're trying to get the, make it easier for you with the COVID and flu shot together. You know, a lot of that has to go under so much testing and scrutiny. So that's kind of hard to find. There's triple shots and things like that.
Starting point is 00:51:31 So hopefully when those shots do come out, they don't hurt quite as bad. Oh, it was a mother scratcher. I walked around because, you know, they always say hang around the store for 10 minutes, make sure everything settles and you don't have any reverse, whatever. So we always just, that's, that's an interesting. I'll try not take up to us when I used to give hundreds and hundreds, you know, I'm a certified vaccinator. So I always push vaccines all the time to people.
Starting point is 00:51:54 But back in the day when we used to have just flu clinics, which I like better than, you know, working nowadays, there's probably some studies people have done in retail where working them in is better or it's more convenient for the patient. But I'd rather just have a million people kind of, you know, from these hours, we're doing food shots, because that's just easier on pharmacists. When I used to do them all the time, the reason, reason why you have people wait there is just mostly not necessarily because of the shot itself but man people get so faintly when you get any sort of injections injections and in my and i'm not even kidding i've probably given about 15,000 flu shots over my 25 years as a pharmacist and i've only ever seen one person get like truly lightheaded yeah you know after probably rare but they have they have to play to the rare ones right that's just well you And honestly, that one person is enough to tell everybody. You know, you never want to see somebody go through that.
Starting point is 00:52:48 And God forbid, they walk out front on a day like today where there's still maybe a little bit of ice out there. Man, somebody cracking their dome on the ground. You don't want to see any of that, you know, just a little bit. Or getting behind the wheel and having that sort of thing. Right. And driving into a, yeah. So even though it is rare, and I am saying it is rare, I don't, I would say, wait, 10 minutes. You know how fast 10 minutes goes? It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:53:11 I've been talking for about three times that already. Well, to the guy who probably doesn't listen anymore because every time Dan used to come on, he would say in the YouTube channel, oh good, thanks for letting me know the anti-vaxxer was on today. Dan is a certified vaccinator. He does this shit for a living, you weirdo. He's not listening.
Starting point is 00:53:31 He doesn't hang around this long. What's the opposite? You know, not just vaccine approved, but like he'll push that vaccine. Yeah, he'll stick it in your arm and go, not every vaccine is for everybody and not everybody needs every vaccine but get them yeah get your vaccines that's right yeah somehow i avoided flu a quotes uh cross fingers knock on wood this year and i and i'd like to think it was that shot but i don't know i don't know how it works we're not mistake
Starting point is 00:53:57 we are men of a certain age yeah we are yes sir we are we're going to be getting every year you're going to be going to be like i thought i got these 10 things last year you tell me i can't 10 more things. You're putting what, where? Yeah, where are you sticking that? Ow. Well, Dan, it's always a pleasure. Tell folks where they can find you outside of this little endover. Well, you can find me on the Geek All-Stars podcast. We just had a
Starting point is 00:54:19 podcast that we recorded last week where we did talk about Motor City GameWorksCon. Every year I go up to Detroit during MLK weekend and I play games with Matt Ben and Adam and a whole bunch of other great people. That's the guys who made River Valley Glassworks and Fleet Dice
Starting point is 00:54:35 and Three Sisters. Great people up there. Detroit. I get Detroit pizza, which is among my favorite. And we just talked about all the games that I played over that weekend, that we played over those weekend. It's a lot of fun, and it was a great show. Nice. Go check that out. Dan Patrice, stay safe or say stay safe. We'll see you. See you guys. Bye now. All right. We have one last thing to do before we go. I have lunch with Hammond at noon. Yeah, you told me about that. Yeah. Got a haul ass a little bit. No problem. Oh, actually have time for this. You know what? I have time for this call. You've got a, we're even doing a, as you
Starting point is 00:55:11 say, you're having lunch with him, but I'm doing a show with him before you even have lunch. Yeah, I keep thinking it's 11. I have an 11 a.m. meeting with the venue on Friday, and I keep mixing it up with him. We're doing ours at noon. So, yeah, we're fine. Plenty of time. Luke from Boulder sent us a call and I wanted to play it. Apparently,
Starting point is 00:55:27 we've been saying something wrong, so here's what Luke says. Hey, guys, it's Luke from Boulder here. I heard you guys trying to pronounce Kamail's name the other day, and you tried your best, but I don't think you got it right. And I used to listen to his podcast. He had one a long time ago called the Indoor Kids where they talked about video games. And it is pronounced Kumail, not Kumal. The eye in there does some work. Kumail and then Nanjiani. I'm sure it's a Gringalish thing. That's not how they would say it back in Pakistan.
Starting point is 00:55:52 But that is how he says it colloquially. That's fun to say colloquially from what I've heard. And also, it's Reese, not RISE or Rees or Rice. R-H-Y-S. We get this a lot. How do you get off my chest. Yeah. We get that one a lot, Luke. I just remember Brian Dunaway's Reese's pieces. And so from now on, that's all I think about when I see R-H-Y-S is Reese's pieces.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Can you blame us? I mean, I feel like you can't blame us for that one. No, you can't blame us. Yeah, no, you're right about all that. And Camel. Camel, okay, cool. N-Jon-Jon-Y. He added a little something on there.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Oh, really? I thought it was just non-johnie. Try that again. That's Camel, not Kumal. the eye in there does some work Kumail and then Nanjiani. Non-Giani. Okay, like Chuck Mangione. Who died horribly in the...
Starting point is 00:56:47 Oh no, he didn't die. Well, he did die. But in King of the Hill, famously, he was in the Megalomart when it burned down. Oh, really? Okay. He made it out. He was okay. He was all right. And he can't, he voiced that character. He actually played himself on that show. Yeah. I love that. Anyway, thanks for the correction. and here's the weirdest text I've gotten all week. This is from somebody named BT.
Starting point is 00:57:12 By the way, these all come to us via quick, or sorry, quick T. What am I trying to say? They all come to us at, shit. What's wrong with my brain? Voicecast.com.app slash TMS. Gotcha. Okay. Jeez, louises. That's where the call came from.
Starting point is 00:57:28 And this text also from BT, and he just says this with a weird spacing in capital H for no reason. He says, who sends the burgers? who sends the burgers who sends the burgers Brian do you have an answer to BT's query who sends the burgers who runs botta town I mean this could be another sieb for all I know yeah we're not interested in any more siebs but uh no I don't know what you mean when you say who sends the burgers yeah like if somebody was sending us burgers to try it would make sense but people don't send us burgers so I don't know Never had anybody send us a burger. Yeah.
