My name is Chuck Neighbors, and I will be your host for this training course on ushering. I didn't think that was my job. The Morning Stream. We're not toys.

We're action figure. Hello everybody and welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for February 24th, 2026. I am Scott Johnson. That is Brian. Hello, Brian. Hello, Scott. How are you?

I'm fine. Here we are. Co-hosting the morning show everyone has come to love and adore. It's good to be here on a Tuesday. I haven't been here on a Tuesday in a while. Very nice. I've had a rough few Tuesdays. Tuesdays are nice.

Yeah. Last two Tuesdays I've been under the weather. Yeah. And Tina's feeling great. much better with her pneumonia. Nice. So she's... I think she caught that stuff early

and that's the way to do it. Yeah, totally is. Like a little bit of pain. Let's go deal with that heart attack. Not really. Let's go get some medicine. Yeah. Boy, that guy with his jump to the conclusions.

That's some doctor there that did that. That's right. It's a woman, actually. Oh. Well, there's your problem. Just kidding. I'm kidding. It's a joke.

Oh. It's a joke. I trust women doctors more than men. If you're going to turn and cough, I'd rather it be a lady, not for the reasons you're thinking. Just rather have a lady to do it. Trust them more.

I have more trust. Sure. It doesn't matter how old or young or pretty or not. I just rather have a lady. Hey guys. It's time for us to do a show. I wanted to complain about something first that's probably going to ruffle a few feathers because I'm sure there's some fans out there.

Okay. So I'm going to approach this as I understand this probably a me thing based on the decent reviews this thing has on various sites and services. Like, IMDB is purely user rating. So usually when those are high, that's usually a sign that it's like well-liked. Like, it's pretty beloved because it's easy to go in there and poo-poo on something. And when somebody hasn't, it usually means people like a thing. And so here's the deal.

My wife's watching this show called The Prodical Son. Okay. And it's got, oh, I forgot it. name. I have to look it up now. Tom Payne, Lou Diamond Phillips. Yes. And then the guy who plays the serial killer is everyone's favorite actor from Britain, although he's doing an American accent in this. And his name is. Oh, Michael Sheen. Michael Shane. Jeez, Scott. I love him. He's great. He's one of my favorite actors of all times. Also, nicest human being, it sounds like, he gives all his money to charity. He's super nice. Anyway, he plays this, like, kind of Hannibal Lecter type serial killer that's

serving time in jail for his crimes. And his son, played by Tom Payne, is always visiting. His son is a profiler for the FBI and hunts down serial killers. It's all part of the like, well, I grew up under this monster's roof. So I know what to look for. Yeah, now I dedicate my life to ridding the streets of these terrible humans. Sure. So that's the premise of it.

And his sister is in it also. and she is a reporter at some local news affiliate. All this is fine, everything I've mentioned. Lou Diamond Phillip plays like the dude in charge at the FBI who kind of works with Tom Payne and all this. And he's actually pretty great. They're all fine. And Michael Sheen's great as always.

His American accent is ridiculously good. I don't know when he owned that, but it's really good. I think the show, though, might be kind of awful. because the premise is solid. It's interesting where, you know, what you can explore with this idea. Hannibal style, not really Hannibal's a bad example, but it's kind of like that. More like Hannibal, like Silence of the Lambs kind of stuff where they're using him to kind of get information, right? Yeah, more like the films, exactly.

Yeah. Where he's in jail, you know, he's in whatever confinement, and they're constantly coming to him trying to understand the mind of the, of Buffalo Bill or whatever. Red Reddington Blacklist kind of stuff. Kind of that, yeah. Very similar. Blacklist is a great comparison, even though that's more about a dude

with a shady spy past. It's very similar to that. And I like Blacklist a lot. I also liked the Science of Land's movies, even some of those that were less liked. I like those just fine, and I like the Hannibal TV show. I like shows that explore this stuff,

they're interesting or they can be. This thing is so freaking ridiculous. that I had to like literally had to leave the room. Kim's loving it. She loves this stuff. It's like a procedural told from this weird perspective. Yeah. And again, performances are pretty solid.

The lady that plays the mom is really hard to listen to, but that's just a me. You know, some people's voices just give you the, just, yeah, you get great on you kind of thing. Yeah, that's what she's doing to me. But you get great guest stars on this thing. Dermick McRoney showed up at one point. Always good. Yeah. Can't call them anything with that.

cousin Nicole. A bunch of other famous people. And so is it just, is it, so the acting is fine, you're saying, is it just, the storylines are just over the top kind of too? Yeah, it's so ridiculous. It's like, like if you had to guess some of these plot points of some of these episodes, you're like, I'll bet they're going to have him get kidnapped by a serial killer. And then, and then the dad's going to have to save him somehow from prison. And the prison somehow, I mean, Hannibal Lecter was a little like this where he had that cell that had all his favorite things in it and his books and his trinkets and all that shit, which seems unrealistic anyway. They do that here. Is there anything else we can provide for you, Mr. Lecter? Anything other comforts?

Yeah, he's getting like full room service and everything. And then this one, Michael Sheen kind of, he walks around on a nice sweater and his room's full of books and his library items and things that he likes. He was a doctor before all this. and I just find it so derivative and so hinging on commercial break crescendos where they go, oh no, he was here the whole time. Music plays up and then they all freeze

and then cut to a commercial, which there are no commercials on our watch because it's Netflix or something. But, or whatever, I don't know where we're watching it. And Ken loves that stuff. And it's fine. It's guilty pleasure stuff.

He knows what she's into. But I just couldn't freaking do it. I tried. I wanted this to be good. Maybe it's a network problem. If this was a cable, like a AMC deal or some straight to Netflix thing or something that had less, you know, public network free whatever rules on it. Maybe they could go a little further or whatever. I don't know.

Just annoyed with it. I don't know why it annoyed me so much. What you're describing is kind of what turns me of, what turns me off, Tina Watch is 911. Same problem, by the way. problem totally it's like basically if i see she's watching it i immediately ask her so which one of the 911 team requires 911 because it's like it that's their big twist is that oh we're we're the people who respond to 911 calls but sometimes we need them ourselves yeah and it's and they do it all the time every freaking week yeah they reuse the stuff like we we're we just fit well recently finished

that closer show which turned out to be really good It's got a lot of the same trappings and plot issues and things like that, but it's done in a way that I can't really describe why it's better. It just is. But like 911, here's what I hate about 911. The 911 place where they take the calls looks like Steve Jobs left somebody a billion dollars to build a think tank tech room. Right, right. Shit doesn't look like that. It's, I mean, with the counterterror, was it? CtU and 24 was like that where it felt, like, wow, it's, you know, you guys have all this cool high tech and the walls are, the interior

decorating is really cool, yet you can't turn the lights on to 100%? No, you got to have all this beautiful lighting and it must be all underlit and very understated. We could turn the lights on, but then you wouldn't see the neon. Yeah. Yeah. And this one also suffers from the thing, that one suffers from, most of them suffer from, which is everybody's too good looking. Like, give me some normal ass-looking people. That's why I respect NYPD Blue. It's why I respect shows like Breaking Bad or really any show where I'll give you a good example. Southland, that cop show I was talking about Southland.

That's not a show just full of hot people. There's a lot of flumpy looking cops and normal ass-looking people and character actors who fit those roles. And I just feel like I'm getting less bullshit when I watch that. When I watch these, it's like, flip my hair back and go, we found the serial killer.

It turns out he was in the basement the entire time. I can't do it. I can't do it. So it put me in a mood, man. I was in a bad mood last night because of that. I'm so dumb to see a TV show and let it affect your mood, but it did. Well, then you should have watched Chevy Chase. That would make you feel better about yourself.

Well, and then also we had a big all-hands family meeting because, oh, you'll love this. I won't give the full story because it's just too gnarly. But what are we, a month from my mom's passing or so, a month and a half? Yeah. And, you know, no one's really had time to properly grieve or talk about, or, you know, we just, time moves so quick. But John realized he screwed something up. And what he screwed up was he had an annuity that my mother had, that when she started it, it's some kind of variable IRA annuity thing. And I'm not a financial dude, so I cannot tell you what that means, except that it's a little complicated.

Sure. Anyway, when she set the thing up forever years ago, it was you had to state who this goes to in case of your death. And she said, split evenly among my kids. And none of us knew about this. So when this came up, we were like, oh, well, that's fine, I guess, you know, we're not, no one's in this for money. We don't care. Of course. But if she had that intended, then great, let's do that.

And then we can spend a little more on where we put her ashes and stuff like that, you know, what we were thinking. Right. John gets wind of this and says Her final wishes, you weren't here to hear it, but her final wishes were all of that money, it'll come to you because legally it has to come to you in the mail, but then you have to turn right around and pay me that plus $400 each to cover stuff.

Yeah, and I'm like, I don't think that's how it works legally at all. And also, if we do take the money out when we get it, we are immediately taxed on it. Yeah, right. That means that about, let's say it's just for simple math, let's say it's 15 grand total. It will end up being closer to 10 because you'll lose about five out of taxes because it's a taxable withdrawal. Normally you can hold on to it and just say, oh, okay, well, I'll keep it and let it accrue for 10 years and then I'll take it out or whatever. You can do that.

He's just like, and then he wrote this big handwritten invoice to everybody. Here are all the things. Handwritten invoice. Yeah. Oh, my God. He's got money. by the way, lots of it. It's tucked away. But he's such a freaking little weirdo that he's coming after all of us to pay for stuff that he has told everybody countless times, including the week my

mother died. I got it all covered. Don't worry. It's all covered. John, can we help with any of the, I don't know, funeral stuff? Can we help with the cost of the casket or any of this? Yeah. Yeah. No, I got it all. I got it all. We got it all. And now he's like on this war path, almost desperately, which makes no sense. He's just a tightwad and a freak show. So basically, legally, we don't have to do shit. So I told everybody last night, I said, I know, look, siblings, I'd have called them siblings. Hello, siblings.

That's when they know big news is coming. And I said, look, I can't speak for any of you, and I'm not going to try to. But I have one goal. And it doesn't involve money. I don't care about this money. Let's give it to charity for all I care. I really don't care. Yeah.

What I will not do is give that 94-year-old freaking rusty toenail a dime. Yeah. And I will never talk to that human being again. Yeah. And if that makes me terrible and rude, well, okay, judge me accordingly. So I said this up front. And everybody, even my sweet sister who just as, she'll give the everything, to everyone all the time. Misha, she's so sweet. Wendy, very pragmatic. My brother is very

pragmatic. My brother Matt really doesn't understand what any of this stuff is. So he's just kind of there going, what? But all of them agreed. They're all like, yeah, like we're, this is, we have all had trauma from this psychopath, this narcissistic turd monkey and we need to be done with him. Rearview mirror. Go. This is, this is the last thing that your mom would have wanted him to do is, you know, turn around and like invoice all you kids. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. And by the and he's got, I don't know, close to $500,000 in the bank. He's fine. He's fine. He sold how he sold two houses. He had extra properties, made a ton of money on that, socked it all the way, lives on his social security, spends no other money. It's not like he doesn't have this. It's also it lives in a house that was

paid for like 50 years ago. So he doesn't have any debt, nothing. And he's still doing this. And it really is just him being this freak that he's always been in our lives. And I feel like calling him and go, hey, I'll give you my six grand or whatever it is. You give me the last 20 years of my mom's life back. How about that? Oh, gee. I feel like saying that.

I'm not going to because I ain't going to talk to him. Yeah. And he's like, I didn't tell you guys, it was her last wish. It's like, you would have put it in paper then because this is legally, oh, horseshit. It's not happening. Yeah, yeah. I love that. Like, well, no, she said that, but nobody was, it's like, my girlfriend lives in the Niagara Falls area. Yeah.

Yeah. It's just so dumb, Brian. I didn't mean to dump that today, but it's so dumb. The whole thing's so dumb. No, that is dumb. That's super dumb. I hate it. But I do know this. There's other things going on in the world.

Yeah, yeah. And we have to talk about them. Today's news is brought to you by. Get yourself a beanie for these cold winter days, finally happening here, with TMS crap on it. Find them at frogpants.com. Nope, not today. Just frogpans.com. I thought there would be a store link at frogpans.com today.

Yeah, you could go to slash TMS and they'll list there now. But anywhere on the site, just click the store link. Cool. Hey, y'all, check this out. Why do you never see baby pigeons in cities? Brian, you want to answer that before I tell you why? You want to guess? That's a really good question.

Yeah, you never see pigeon chicklets. Yeah. Pigeon checks. Like if you see here, I'm sure you see these two, but you see like a quail and it's got a bunch of little kids with it and it's all like trotting across the street. You never see pigeons doing that. I don't see quails very often. Oh, really?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I don't think we, I don't know if we have a lot of quails in Denver. Oh, we have tons here. Do you have a lot of quails with like the little dangly things on their heads? Yeah, that's why I thought it would be common there because we're almost the same ecologically. So I figured you guys had happened. But that's wild to hear.

We see them all the time. No, we have tons of robins and finches and, uh, uh, you know, things. like that, magpies up the wazoo. But now that I think about it, I don't really see like the only birds that I ever see with their young walking around are ducks and geese and your quote-unquote ground birds.

Oh, right. You know, your walkers, your ducks and your geese. They can fly. They just choose not to. Yeah, because they're freaking lazy A-holes, that's why. Yeah, but I don't, you know, thinking about it. And of course, we have Eagles' Nest that have cameras on them and stuff like that.

So we see the young in there. But no, it's true. Like flittering about, you just see full-grown, what I assume are full-grown birds. Yeah, especially when you're in like, I mean, we'd call them doves here. They're basically pigeons. But when you're in New York,

you see them all over the city. And so when you see them in the city, you may have wondered, well, where are these babies? Where are they keeping them? Yeah. Yeah, I would think that too. Well, here's the scientific explanation.

It's one of those urban mysteries. We've all wondered about it at least once. you see thousands of pigeons in the city and you never see a baby one. No, no tiny fluffy chicks. Begging for crumbs. Only full-grown adults. Is there a glitch in the Matrix? Says this article?

Not quite. The explanation is actually rooted in a clever biology and strategic nesting secret. The secret of altricial? Altricial species. Dr. Nick, you can correct me on this, I'm sure. I think that looks right. Yeah, altricial. Altricial.

Staying hidden to survive. And the main reason you don't see them is, unlike they call them pre-cocaucle birds, pre-sopio. How would you call that? Second paragraph. Precocial, precocial. Prococial. Yeah. I like that.

Such as ducks and geese like you were talking about. Yeah. Whose yellow ducklings follow their mother around, all that stuff. Pigeons are born completely helpless as like in an extended nursery is what they call it. It's a common sparrow or if a common sparrow might leave the nest in a under four weeks, a young pigeon known as a squab. Oh, that's right. You used to eat Squab.

They still do eat Squab. You can go to a fancy restaurant and get Squab on the menu. So Squab is a baby pigeon or a young adolescent pigeon? That's sad. Maybe that's why you don't seem as their food immediately. I haven't given them a chance to go shit all over the street or anything yet. That's right. Let them live a little.

Anyway, this stays home for about 35 days during this time. They transformed from blind, hairless hatchling to birds that are nearly identical in size and plumage to their parents. So that is the trick. 35 days. So really we are seeing, we're seeing pigeons that may be just 35 days old, but they're at that size. They're indistinguishable from their parents at that point.

Yeah. So you might see two pigeons trailing around. What you're actually seeing is a mother and one of its chicks. You just wouldn't know because they look like they're, you know, sisters. That's amazing. Hello, sister pigeons. Oh, I'm a mother. I'm a little too young.

Get out of here, you weirdo. That's right. It was just an interesting thing to learn. I can't remember where I found this. So ducks and geese are just slower to develop, really, is what we're learning here. Yeah. Other birds are pretty close to adult size after a little over a month, but ducks and geese, slow. Plus ducks are fine.

The geese are dicks, you know? Yeah. Not just because they attack people, but they just look at you. Like, you know, when they're sitting there crossing the street in front of your car, they know what doing. Yeah. I don't trust it. They look at you like, uh-huh, you got to wait for me.

Wouldn't, I was going to say, I wouldn't trust a goose as far as I could throw it, but I could throw in pretty far, I think. Yeah. Never done it. Would you trust it? Would you trust it then less far than you could throw it? Or no, I guess further than you can throw it. Yeah.

How does it? Yeah, that would be right, further that you can throw it. Yeah. Yeah. So, but here's the problem with that saying has, this has always been a problem. They've equated, like, they've done a math problem where it's distance equals trust. Right. Exactly.

That doesn't make sense. Does that mean somebody's strong, trust people more because they can throw them further? Oh, man. Like the rock trusts everybody because I wouldn't trust you as far as I can throw you. But I can throw you pretty far so you've got my trust. Yeah. A shot putter has variable trust levels. He can trust very small things at great distance.

Yeah, really small, heavy, though, dense balls. You can trust those at a fine distance. It's a weird phrase. Now it's going to bug me every time I hear it. It's a very weird phrase. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. I'm like, so you wouldn't trust him 12 feet? What does that mean?

Right, right. I don't get it. Like, I understand, don't touch a guy with, or I wouldn't touch you with a 40-foot pole. That makes sense. Keep you at a distance, right? Some idioms are dumb. That's all I'm saying. They really are, yes.

Delivery van in the store, in the store, in the news. Delivery van got stuck on the deadliest mudflat footpath. This is in Britain. It appeared to be stuck in the mudflats, which locals described as the deadliest footpath in Britain. This is for Zoe and any other Brits that might be joining us today. The HM Coast Guard. Deadliest footpath.

What is HM to Coast Guard? H.M. Her Majesty's. Oh, shit. Well, of course. Because they still do that. Royal shit. Mysterious.

I heard a guy. You know, sometimes we think Americans are only dumb people saying stuff on TV. Why I never think that? Like news. We just hear it much closer. That's true. We're quickly here. I heard a British guy say today because he was talking about Prince Andrews' arrest for the Epstein business and all that.

And he actually said, are we really going to set something to this effect? I'm probably getting it wrong. It's not verbatim. What's the word when you say it's not verbatim? I'm paraphrasing. Here we go. Paraphrasing. Yeah.

He says, I don't think we want to set a precedent for the, for arresting a royal for the first time in 400 years just because he R-worded a few young girls that no one ever heard of. That's that was what he said. And it made me want to break my computer screen. When you say R-word. Yeah, R-A-P-E. I just don't want to. Okay. Yeah. All right. Imagine that though saying, yeah, we can't set this precedent of it's just a few girls no one's heard of. You want to, that's the precedent you want to send? What the frick, dude?

We can't just go arresting the rules. Yeah. I'm sorry. I don't, I don't know what's going on with people. Like this sudden shift from, for the last five years going, there's a secret pedophile ring. And suddenly there is one and it's not secret anymore. And they all shut up suddenly?

What the hell happened? Democrats in a pizza place in Chicago or wherever they were, They were quoted as being hanging out. No, there was an island and all you effers went there. And there's still people who go, well, yeah, but what about Bill Clinton? I'm like, take him with you. Yeah. Yeah.

Put them all in there. Yeah. Holy shit. I don't understand it. I'm very much doubt QAnon has the feeling of, boy, we sure got that wrong. No. The thing is they've gotten, they basically got proved right just about the wrong people. Yeah.

So why wouldn't they go, aha! Ah, we were right the whole time. Exactly. Oh, weird. Are there ulterior motive, you pieces of shit? Exactly. Put the cube name back where it belongs in Star Trek and go away. Make Q Star Trek again. Oh, I'm rantey today. This you are.

I can feel it. And you guys can hear it. Anyway, delivery van, this thing got stuck. So I don't know why this is even a story. Oh, it was an Amazon truck. That's why it was interesting. So this Amazon truck gets stuck there. Here's what makes it weird, though.

It wasn't that it was just stuck in the deadliest mudflat footpath. The reason they call it that is because they do military exercises there. Oh, no. Okay. So this poor Amazon truck loaded full of whatever they had in there. Anchor chargers, let's be honest. It's full of anchor chargers. And all of a sudden you're hearing them. They never did happen.

Oh, my God. But that's where they do test firings and stuff like that. The route said to be 600 years old and cover. covering six miles, that's 10 kilometers, is managed by Essex Highways, a global defense and security company, which manages the firing range. So basically was just stuck in the mud in the firing range. Normally you would have like crawling soldiers, dealing with mud, fire overhead, actual gunfire overhead. It's not like he landed there when they were doing an exercise, but it would be pretty funny. Oh, geez. Somebody shot up my box of whatever I ordered, my anchor

charger. That's right. Here's a story for you. My Oreos. A grandson of the inventor of Reese's peanut butter cups. We'll call him Reese's Pieces Jr. Reese's Jr., Reese's the 4th.

Rees is the 4th. Do not eat those. They're not good. Let's see. He accuses Hershey's of cutting corners and says... Corners on a Reese's peanut butter cup. That's a good point.

If you zoom in, they are because they got the little... Yes, individual little corners, right? like the little, okay. But that would be getting way pedantic. That's getting into the weeds. We don't have to do that. Anyway, the grandson of this inventor lashed out at the Hershey's company, accusing the candy company of hurting the Reese's brand by shifting to cheaper ingredients in its products.

They changed the recipe recently, and he's basically claiming it's unedible. You shouldn't eat them. They acknowledged some of us. I'd argue it was a lot longer ago than that. I kind of agree. They've been waxy and shitty for a long time. Yeah, like all American chocolate. But after you've had UK or Swiss chocolate or European chocolate in general, American chocolate is just inferior, waxy BS.

I wonder if our foreign folks can tell us if they, is this like Kit Katz where you can get better ones elsewhere? You can still get the peanut buttercups, but they're just made better? Probably. Yeah. Yeah, Zoe will bring chocolate to Nurtacular. Hey, if you've been sitting around going, I don't have a reason yet to go and you're a huge chocolate person. I just made that reason playing. Now you finally have a reason.

Heck with the great entertainment and camaraderie and a fantastic community and just getting away from the world for a few days with some people who like-minded people, come for the chocolate. That's right. Come for the British chocolate. Come for the Cadbury.

Bok, bach, bach. Come for the flake. That's right. It says here, let's see, Brad Reese, he's 70 now. said in a February 14th letter to Hershey's corporate that the multiple Reese's, see, oh, brand manager for multiple Reese's products,

that sort of it is. The company replaced milk chocolate with a compound coating, with compound coatings and peanut butter with peanut cream or cream. Jeez. What do you think that is peanut cream? What does that mean? Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, peanut butter versus peanut cream, that feels like, okay, all right. I mean, you know, you're pulverizing peanuts. At least it's not peanut coatings or shell peanut shell, compote. I don't know where you get like the cream. Like is it just, the worst peanuts and then you mush them into a goo?

I don't know. Like they do with meat at McDonald's for nuggets, you know? Right, right, right. Like the worst parts of the chicken. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how they do that. Cream usually is a, you know, usually is an okay thing. but compound coatings for sure,

not an appetizing description of anything. I appreciate Red Fragile's reminder. Creamy peen nut. Nice. Very good. Good callback. Anyway, here's his words. How does the Hershey Company continue to position Reeses as its flagship brand,

a symbol of trust, quality, and leadership, while quietly replacing the very ingredients, milk, chocolate, and peanut butter that built Rees' trust in the first place, Reese wrote to the Rees wrote into the letter which he posted on his LinkedIn profile. That guy's name is Brad Reese. Yeah.

So it really was his grandpa's chocolate things. Yeah, he's really the heir to the Reese's fortune. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Or as Brian Dunrowe would say, Recy, he's Recy. He's Recy. He's Recy.

Brad Recy. Also, how often you meet a guy in his 70s named Brad? Yeah, no kidding. We're about to do more. Like Bradfordley. It has to be shorter for more than Bradley, right? It has to be like Braddington. Yeah.

Ridington Reese. Bradford. Yeah. Bradley. Braddington. I love it. Anyway, that's fun stuff. There's your news, everybody.

I hope you enjoyed it. Because now we got to do another thing. Yeah. That other thing requires another voice. And that other voice is trash. Oh, no, no. Oh, shit. Well, I hope not.

Let's not do that. Here's this. This is Travis. and you'll do well to listen carefully to what he has to say. I agree you will, and he's here now. Oh, Travis, I've got to play this part too. Hold on. Don't tell me what I know, Travis.

That was, Amy sent me that. She said you'd know what that was about. Yep. No, that's a good one. Yeah, it's good stuff. Travis is here. What's going on, man? We're doing a little trivilly Travis.

Are you feeling all right? You feeling up to it? Yeah, I am ready. I've got a new trivia bit to test out today. So we're going to try that. That'll be fun. Brian. I always look the new stuff.

Yeah, we never. know when you're going to bring something new to the table. I know. It's exciting. Anyway. Yeah. So, yeah, well, we'll just jump right into it. I do.

So here's an example. What I'm going to do, the first two rounds, one is going to be for Brian. One will be for Scott. I'm going to use the IMDB description of a film. Like that little one sentence description you get right underneath the title. Except I'm going to use the wrong characters. Okay. From that film.

You have to figure out who it is. So as an example, if I said, Ghost Rider and Malefica steal cars for the doctor. Any ideas what that could be? Gone in 60 seconds? Gone in 60 seconds, correct. This is a thing we do on film sac all the time just by accident because we can't remember someone's name.

Or Scott will use this as like his alternate titles. Oh, right, exactly. John McLean and so-and-so do a thing. Yeah. So we're going to try this out and see how well you do figuring out these movies. And we're going to start with Brian. Okay. All right.

So Brian, here's your description. U.S. Marshal Harvey Twoface and his team of marshals, including Cypher and Iron Man, are assigned to track down Blade, who has been accused of double murder. Oh, shit. Okay. I mean, I know everybody you're describing in there. Tracking down Blade. I mean, tracking down Wesley Snipes. So, you know, you get your...

Boy, Cypher. I'm trying to remember who played... cipher. If that even, if that even would help me, it might not. It might, it might not.

You don't know. Yeah. Oh, I know it. God, I can't think of, I can't think of a Wesley Snipes movie where he's not the,

the protagonist. Got nothing. Got nothing? Got nothing? I think Scott might have an idea. I think I know. I hope I got it. I'm not sure,

but I hope I got it. Scott, what do you think? I think it's U.S. Marshals. He was the, on the run. He was the fugitive in U.S. Marshals. That is correct. It is U.S. Marshals. The sequel to the fugitive.

Here's what I forgot, though. I forgot. You said Aaron Eckhart, or no, you said Harvey Dent? Yeah. Harvey Dent. Yeah, I forgot Aaron Eckhart. Tommy Lee Jones was Harvey Jones.

Oh, that's why. I went down that path, too, and it wasn't just until you said U.S. Marshals, I was like, oh, okay, the other two things. And that's what makes the, this kind of a game fun because Harvey 2Face could be either one of them. You've got to find

all the clues. So cipher is Joe Paddliano. Yeah, that's right. Joey Pans is in there. Oh, right. And he is, he was in both the fugitive and U.S. Marshals. And then, of course, Robert Donny Jr. is in the fugitive, or in U.S. Marshals. Yeah. He came in. He was the guy that came in and drove everybody nuts because he was, he was

like in charge of something, somewhere else. And they all didn't like him. It was the deal. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. U.S. Marshals is not that bad. It's underrated. Yeah. It's not underrated a little action movie. And a lot of people don't even know there was a sequel to the fugitive and that's it. I think it's kind of a mistake to do such a high

profile sequel to a thing that is so self-contained and also based on another very self-contained thing. It is. And to not call it fugitive to U.S. Marshals. To just call U.S. Marshals. That's probably the only problem. But they did it right in that

it's following Sam Gerard and his team of marshals. Right. Yeah, which is a cool thing on its own. You're not going to follow. Oh, no, I got married again and another one-armed man killed my wife. Why does this keep happening to me? Where are these one-armed men coming from? Exactly, yes.

All right, so there is. I did not kill my wife again. Right. I still didn't kill my wife. I still don't care. So, round two, Scott, this is your movie now. We're going to describe with the wrong characters. All right.

Homicide detective Malcolm X witnesses the execution of serial killer Casey Jones. Soon after the execution, the killings start again, and they are very similar to Jones's style. And this movie features Dan Connors and Tony Soprano.

Okay, I've seen this because all of that was familiar. So Denzel Washington witnesses the killing of... Sorry, what was the... This dude... Casey Jones. Casey Jones. And then, yeah, I kind of remembered

Tony Soprano, what's his name in there? Oh, what? Yeah, featuring Dan Connors and Tony Soprano. I've seen this movie you're describing. I cannot remember the name. I don't know this one. Brian, do you know it? I don't.

I don't know this one. Yeah. This would be a good film sack movie. I am, I want to do it for what you haven't seen. because I adore this movie. This movie is Fallen. Oh, Fallen. That's it.

I have seen it. It is a great. It's a good movie. I could have told you Denzel Washington is in it, and that's all I could have told you. Denzel Washington, his partner in homicide is Dan. It's John. And James Gandalfini is another cop in there.

And then Casey Jones is Elias Cotias. He plays the serial killer in the beginning. But it's not just a serial killer movie. It's very supernatural. 90s, right? 98. Remember me with the Casey Jones. Where are that coming from?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the first two movies. This is why Brian and I had no idea who that was. Because neither of us are turtles guys. Or at least I was Turtles comics kind of. You were more turtles, yeah. But not the show. The TV show cartoon I thought was ass, even though I was of age. And I also think those movies are shit.

Well, I mean, you were, you were probably too old for the cartoon to really hit you because that was like 87. Yeah. Well, I was, you know, it would have been 16, 17, something like that. But I will stay, I will die on the hill that the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film is one of the best comic book adaptations to film, period. It is such a good adaptation of that story. And capturing both the comic and the cartoon. Maybe I got to go back. What do we do for film sack to the second one?

for FilmSack, I think. You watched the first one on FilmSack, and none of you liked it. Okay. Okay. Which, it's fine to be wrong. I'm not going to hold it against you. They just re-released it for the 35th anniversary in theaters last fall. Oh, really?

And I watched it again. Damn you. It's still great. I do want to see the newer one with the, that has the new animation, like the... Oh, Mutant Mayhem. Yeah. That was a lot of... That was the first time I ever saw them actually feel like teenagers.

Okay. That's the one, uh, Joe, or... not Joe Rogan. Seth Rogan and produced or whatever. Yes. Him and his buddy that I always do stuff. All right. By the way, you mentioned Elias Cotius or have you say his name? Yep.

Let's not skip over what a rad actor that guy is. I love him. Oh, I love him. Put him in everything. Some kind of wonderful was the first time I ever saw him. He's the stoner buddy and... The bald punker. Punker guy. This is what my girlfriend would look like. What it would look like? Without skin.

Yeah, dude. He was great. But then he's so good. Like that let the right one in American version, which I know people like the Swedish one better, blah, blah, blah. There's always that argument. But he plays the kind of cop that's trying to track it all down. Yep. Underrated performance.

He's so good in that. Anyway. Also, by the way, that first Teenage Ninja Turtles movie was the first time I ever saw Sam Rockwell in anything. And I always think of him as the kid from TMNT still. Weird. I just went and saw Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die. Yeah.

And I'm still like, yep, Sam Rockwell. while I just remember him from that movie. It made a big impression on me. To me, he's the Galaxy Quest guy. Oh, yeah, that's another good one. He said Fod, Bucs. Yeah, he's a great Fad. He was, he was a great Zafad.

All right, so now on to our musical round. Ah, shit. Brian, you get to start this one. So I have two clips that are reversed. Okay. Or I have three very short clips to start it. I will say that if you get it off the shortest clip I have, I will be supremely impressed.

Oh, really? Okay. Then I will, then I won't, just based on that, I won't do the shortest clip. I will do the shortest, the second shortest, non-reversed clip you have. Okay. And all the bacon. I understand exactly what you just said. Exactly. Yes.

Yes. So here we go with that clip, Brian. Okay. That's superstitious. by Stevie Wonder. That is correct. Nicely done, dude. So was the first clip just the, like how short?

Just two snare hits. I probably would not have gotten it from that. Yeah, if you got it from that, I would be impressed. Yeah. That was, I wanted to do that song, and I'm like, well, as soon as you have any organ, you're going to know exactly what it is. That's why I reversed it. So I had like, and even.

Stevie Wonder wrote for Jeff Beck, who was going to record and release the first. first version, but Stevie Wonder's producers got his version out first. So his version almost was the cover of the Jeff Beck version. Oh, weird. Crazy. Yeah. Even everything's either a cover or there's some weird cover story about it. Right. Right. Exactly. That's the music industry. There is a great cover. Stevie Ravon did a great cover of it too. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I like that his name is also Stevie. That's good. Yes. If only Stevie Nix would do a cover of it. We can hope. Yeah. But that would be blind hope. Oh, that's terrible. Anyway, go ahead, Travis.

Whatever you got next. No, he knows his planned. Yeah, he's aware. All right. Round four is a movie. And we're going to go by the cast of this movie. Scott, you're going to start our bidding. Okay.

And there's no weird name things in this. This is straight up cast, regular cast. This is just cast members from this movie. Okay. I think I can try in, I can try in two. Two? Okay. I'll go one.

all right and if Brian gets it wrong Scott gets his second cast member to try and figure it out Brian you're one cast member from this film yeah Delroy Lindo

Delroy Lindo who's been in a lot of things that guy in a few movies he's a busy fella he is a busy fella I can picture the guy

and I'm like what have I because he's such a character actor that I can't think of a specific role that I know I'm from. Well, all right, let's go aliens. Aliens? I don't think he's in aliens. Is that not, is he not?

He's not in aliens. He's not the drill sergeant or the, not drill sergeant, but the apone? He's not apone. No. I thought he was apone. Then maybe I'm visualizing the wrong guy. All right, Scott, you get a second name if you want it. Yeah, give it.

So we have Delroy Lindo and we have Miles Katon. Sinners. That is correct. Ding. So the reason that is even in my head is in the news right now that him, I knew he was in centers, loved him in centers. He's up for best, he's up for best supporting actor for centers. He was up on stage with Michael B. Jordan and somebody at the BAFTA has yelled the N word

and now they're claiming the dude had Tourette's or something. There's a whole thing going on. So it was like, yeah, there's a big, a big dust up about that. Yeah. Big stinky deal. Yeah. Yeah. But I love Delroy Lindo.

He is the reason that I always remember the movie Congo. It's him and Ernie Hudson. Oh, yeah. There's another one. I forgot that, yeah. He's great. Ernie Hudson is cool as the other side of the pillow in that movie. The other side of the pillow.

I've never heard anybody yell, don't eat my sesame cake in a way that was intimidating until I saw that movie. Yeah. I think you should have gotten something. for that Defy Bloods deal. Oh, yeah, Defive Bloods? Oh, for sure. He was so good in that.

Holy crap. Yeah, anyway. Okay. Wasn't it a Marvel thing? Marvel's Most Wanted, I think. Oh, that was it. All right. We're always looking for our Marvel connections.

Go ahead. Yeah. Exactly. Our final round is going to be a real or fake. Okay. So, Brian, I am going to give you, and we're actually, I'm going to split this up. I have 10 total.

I'm going to split it up, five for each. of you. Okay. I will give you five things. You have to tell me if you think that it is actually fits the, fits the bill or not. And these are projects or things that Spike Lee directed. Okay. All right.

So I will give you five. You just tell me if you think it is a Spikely joint or is not a Spikely joint. Your first one is DeFive Bloods. Was that Spike Lee? Speaking of Delroy, Linda. I say not a Spikely joint.

Incorrect. That was a Spikely joint. Okay. Second one, Four brothers. Four brothers. Barely remember this one. I'm going to say not.

Correct. That was a John Singleton film. John Singleton, okay. We were just talking about him on Friday or Saturday, Sunday. Okay, here's one. NBA 2K-16. I'm going to say, of course he is, because you wouldn't have brought this up if he wasn't. That's correct.

He directed the creative player stuff for NBA 2K-60. Yeah, it's actually that version of that is very good. They've kind of lost their way since then. It's kind of terrible now that mode. But that years, that mode was so good. It was really good. And he's always court side makes total sense why he'd be involved. A big NBA fan.

All right. So you've got one of three or two of three so far. Two of three. This next one, The original Kings of Comedy Oh, boy. Was that a Spike Lee joint? But he've been involved in that?

I'm going to say no. He did direct that one. Oh, wow. I wouldn't have got that right. And finally, your final one is the music video for Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind. Oh.

I know that video very well. Did he direct that? I didn't know he's doing directing at all. So this is very learned of us to learn these things today. I'm going to say, I'm going to say yes that he directed that video. That was a hype Williams video. Okay, two or five.

So two of five for Brian. Yeah. Scott, you get five as well to try and figure this out. Let's do it. I like this. This is a fun. So first one is a film called Brooklyn's Finest. This is a still Spikely, whether it's Spikely joint.

Whether it's Spikely or not, yes. Brooklyn's finest. Mm-hmm. No. That is correct. Okay. That was an Antoine Fouqua film. Okay.

We like him. Mm-hmm. The next one, Clockers. No. Damn it! That was a Spike Lee joint. Okay.

One for two. The music video for public enemies Fight the Power. I'm going to say, yes. Correct. Oh, good job. Wow.

Oh. I would have said no on that one. I'm like, I don't think he... Okay, yeah. Another music video. This one, Noddy by Nature's Hip Hop Hooray. I said in the whitest way possible. Yeah, that was...

This one, I don't know either way. I'm going to say no, because I think we had too many yeses in a row. I'll say no. Shit. He did. He did actually direct that one. And finally, your last one, the movie, He Got Game. Yeah. You know, I really was hoping you were going to do Inside Man or whatever.

Yeah, of course. Because I love that that one is like the weird career one. It's a fantastic movie, but the least Spike Lee feeling movie. As I was putting this list together, I had Inside Man on it. And then I said, no, that's too easy one. That's too easy for Scott because I know how much you like that movie. Yeah. I'll say it.

I'll say yes. That's correct. He did direct. I had no idea. He did a lot more music videos than I realized, looking at his list of director credits. Really? I was kind of surprised. There was a good number of them.

Yeah. So, Scott, you got three out of five. Yeah. Which means you are today's winner. Well done. Three out of five is not bad. It's not too bad. It's all right.

Yeah, I'll take it. I mean, it's, what is that? 75%? No. Close to that. 70? 60. 60?

Oh, I wish it. It was higher than 60, but it's fine. I'm barely on the, I'm on the fresh, it's the fresh tomato rating is what I got. Just barely, though. That's all you need. You just need to be over 50%. Pass or fail. All right.

What's our record this year? I've already forgotten last month. At this point, it is Scott 2, Brian Zero. Oh, shit. Really? Coming into it. Although, they're used that one other month to remember, Scott. I know, and I couldn't even do it.

I couldn't even do it. This month was much closer than last month. Yeah. Brian, you're clawing your way back. I do want to keep doing the describe the movie ones because I think that's a lot of fun.

Yeah, that one's super fun. That's really fun. Yeah. And it plays to the way, I think it plays to the way we think a little bit. And it's good. I like it.

It's really good. It's also not easy either. Like, what was the one? No, because your mind starts thinking about, oh, two face, Aaron Eckhart. Exactly. Yeah.

And then you kind of miss all the other things you just said. Yeah. It's really good. Yeah. Once you go down a path, It's hard to back out of that and realize, oh, someone else could have played that. Like, you know, you mentioned Batman.

There's a lot of different people that have played Batman. Yeah, there are many Batmans. This one is ours. Batman. That's right. Hey, Travis, tell people where they can find you and your good work between now and the next time we see you. So I am on Blue Sky at TVsTravis.com on Blue Sky or my website is TVsTravis.com. I am currently recording the season 3 of 24 FPS Presents.

we are deep into our martial arts film season, which has been a lot of fun. I'll bet it has, yeah. And wait, you haven't seen every month or every week. This week I watch Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Those movies so much better than they have the right to. They're unbelievably good for what they are. And Jim Carrey is just an absolute delight.

We shouldn't be talking about Sonic movies like they're good. It just shouldn't be true. I know. It's so true. But here we are. I agree. Most Sonic games are bad. You know what I mean? Like there's some good ones, but they're not all good.

But somehow the movies kick the trend. Anyway, Travis, always a pleasure. We'll see you next time for more trivial Travis. By now. He tried to get it in. Yep. And he put his little word and his little catchphrase. Couch phrase. Yeah. Jokes on you. I'm into the shit.

All right. Well done. Let's get to some emails real quick. We got some stuff here lined up. Whoops. Where is it? This is about the jugs of pee. This came in from Don, who is a texter. He says, hello, screenplay and blockbuster. Not long ago, you guys were talking about a theater that would show a movie and serve food from that movie or something along those lines. A friend of mine runs an event like this in Minneapolis in Chicago called Taste the Movies.

They have one coming this weekend based on Lady in the Tramp. Their website is tastethemovies.com. Check it out from Don. He is pick, picku-it. in the chat when he's here. That's a really cool idea. Yeah, I love it. I love that idea.

I'm trying to think of other movies where, like, you know, Big Night would obviously be a great one or the menu with Ray Fines from a couple years ago. Don't see Hannibal. That would be a bad one to do. Yeah. But I'm trying to think what would be like, could you do a beetle juice and serve all the stuff that they have at that weird, you know, day-o dinner.

Oh, yeah, maybe. I mean, you could do, I feel like you could have some fun even with the weird ones, like you mentioned, you know, the hamletcher stuff. You could do fake brains.

Yeah, of course. You know, do like Halloween, you do with the kids where it's like, oh, you're touching, you're touching brains, but really it's a bowl of spaghetti in the dark or whatever. Right.

Oh, yeah, Willie Wonka is a good one. Yeah, I love this idea. It's really cool. Trying to see what the, Okay, they got a Ratatooie. That's sold out. Clever, yeah, of course. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Perfect. That one's still got some tickets. Princess and the Frog. I don't remember. There's a lot of Southern food. Mystic pizza, probably you could do. Yeah. That's awesome.

Love it. Yeah, that's a great idea. I don't remember when we talked about somewhere else that was doing this, though. That's the part I don't remember. Yeah, I don't either. We have brews here. Well, I mean, Elmo Draft House does that thing where they have themed movies like the,

When Wicked 2 was out, it was the Shiz Burger, which was like a certain kind of cheeseburger, but they called it the Shizburger. Is there, I still need to see those movies. I don't know what Shiz means. Shiz is the university that they, that they go to. It's basically the Wicked Hogwarts.

Oh, it's really called Shiz. It's called Shiz. I don't think I like it. Because when I say Shiz, I say like, oh, that's some cool shiz. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't sound right. going to the University of Shiz.

Yeah, exactly. Oz rode in, local, Oz, good guy. Yeah. A little Oz, Oz man, Ozzy Mandias, he sometimes calls himself. Anyway, he wrote in, says, on Tuesday's TMS, you were talking with your old friend Bill Durant

about the Fremont Bridge Troll, which does look really cool. I don't know if you're aware of this, Scott, but here in the Great Salt Lake City, we also have a troll. I was aware. In fact, I drove past it the other day. Huda, the troll built by Garth Franklin, was too big to fit in his,

in his store. So he set it in an abandoned railroad track, keeping an eye on the area. Yeah, this is around. So for locals, it's around 400 West and 700 South. We passed right by it on our way to the Nurtacular venue,

actually. I'll show you a picture here. It looks like that. And he just plop down on the tracks, just kind of hanging. I love that. That's really, really cool.

Yeah, and they stopped doing, so that part of the railroad was shut down, but they have this whole length of it that's just there. And so he put his thing on there. I don't know how he moved it. I would have loved to have seen like how all that went down. But anyway, if you're out in that area, I didn't know he had a name, though.

So Oz's helped me here. I just thought he was the troll sculpture is all I ever heard. Trane troll. Yeah. Huda apparently is his name. Hootah. And he's, you can get up. It's hard to see scale. But, you know, I'm about as tall.

Maybe I'm just a little taller than his pinky toe there. Oh, really? Okay. So it's pretty big. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It's hard to tell at the tracks, but it's something like that.

It is hard to tell. Yeah. Thank you for that. And then one last one. From Jeff, our friend, Jeff Seyer, in Ontario. I had to trim this down a bit because it was massive. Sometimes he sends us a book instead of an email. He's a very knowledgeable guy.

And he doesn't, it's hard when you know all that stuff to edit yourself, I guess. That's right. Which is fine. It's just for show content, I wanted to cut it down a little bit. And so I've reduced it to its essence. And I will now read it. Jeff, you can write in and tell me if I got any of this wrong. Jeff Seyer from Grafton, Ontario.

writes the following. Elements are defined by their protons. We were talking about half-lifes. Oh yeah, right. Okay. Chernobyl and all that. When the neutron count is off, you get an unstable isotope that decays, shooting out radiation until it reaches a stable state.

Decay follows a half-life rule. Each period, half the material breaks down into new elements. After nine half-lives, it's considered effectively gone. Short half-lives are dangerous because decay happens fast and produces a lot of radiation.

I didn't know that. I figured the short, short meant good. Like, oh, it won't be here very long. No, apparently the star that burns out quickly shines the brightest or something. Exactly. All this radiation. Yeah.

But also it does make sense because in medical terms, if you say your benzodiazepine has a short half-life, those are the dangerous ones you can get addicted to real quick because they hit and then drop. Real fast and then if you do it too much, you're going to, you know, you become dependent. longer the way you wean off of those a lot of times they'll give you like laurazepam which is a longer half-life and that will that takes way longer to come in and way longer to go to exactly so you can wean you can wean yourself we love the word wean as you may know he says short half-flies okay half a long half-flies are harmless potassium 40 and bananas have a half-life of 1.25 billion years and we eat those just fine that's crazy. A banana has a... The potassium in the banana is half-life. Yeah. The banana itself doesn't have the half-life. No, that's wild. Yeah. That's so weird to hear that. Anyway, this is how carbon dating works. C-14 decays at a known rate. So scientists can measure what's left to figure out when something has died. And as a bonus in the Chernobyl miniseries, this physicist identifies reactor contamination because c-cum, or C-C-C-7 is a uranium.

D.K. product, not something a bomb produces. Nuclear decay leaves a very specific fingerprint. Jeff says the show is quite accurate and worth watching, says Jeff. Yeah, no, that's, I love that stuff. And he knows he works in a plant up there where they're not afraid of

nuclear energy because they didn't have a Long Island problem and aren't dumb and freaky and stuff like us. Right, right, exactly. So we appreciate the the extra science there, man. We appreciate it.

Hopefully, we got it all right. If we got any of that wrong, he'll send a correction and we'll figure it out. If you want to send in your own messages, you can send us text, emails, all of it. Go to frogpans.com slash TMS and you'll find the links.

Today, me and Dunaway, watch retro tonight at 4 p.m. We are watching, I can tell you real quick, because he just put up the list. Here it is. We are watching. Something called the Sunshine Makers

as our pre- movie, like our little short. Yeah, yeah. It's seven minutes long. Then we're going to watch Robocop Season 2 No, see, yeah, season 2 episode 23, I think, something like that. It's called Crime Wave. It's an old cartoon

where they tried to make Robocop friendly for kids. Okay, they take off his nipples too? No, I wish they Okay. Well, I guess he never really had Nipples, but maybe underneath. Maybe the nipples are gone. Who knows? Yeah, yeah. And then we're going to watch something called Turbo Teen. I don't remember Turboteen.

I've never heard of Turboteen. So anyway, it's going to be fun. We're going to be watching those and doing all that live at Frog Pants TV today at 4 p.m. Mountain, so check that out. That's watch Retro tonight. All right. Brian, you got anything else going on? I want to mention before we go?

Let's see. Hem and I recording an episode of soundography today for the new season that's coming out. We went through the process of listening to the entirety of Nickelback. So look for that to get edited down. and listen to that in a few weeks. I'm so curious about where you guys land on that. Oh, I can tell you it was, the UTI was the most pleasant part of my week.

I always hear people say they're underrated, but then I go listen. Yeah, and then I go listen to them and I go, no, this feels pretty rated. Yeah, it's pretty accurately rated. It's, um. What's worse? A UTI or listening to Knickleback? Find out. Find out, yes.

but the episode of releasing today is Jelly Roll, so you'll get that over on your soundography feed. Get that one out of the way quick, you know? Yes. Things are getting worse than that corner of the world. Yes, they are. Cool. Well, speaking of music, you probably have a little something

we can play here at the end of the show. I do. If I can find it, where is it? It is. Oh, I never pulled it down. I'll do that while you're talking. Well, here's the weird thing. Why is it that's the wrong song that I put in there anyway. So don't get that one. Oh, all right. Um, because there's a different song that should be in there. And where is it?

I went through a whole rigmarole to get it. There we go. Okay. I'm putting that. Oh, no, that's the right. That's the right name. Weird. I just put the wrong name. Yeah, I just put the wrong name in the, um, uh, I put the Monday song title in the spreadsheet. Oh, okay. So I, the one that starts with have is our correct song. Yes, that is the correct song. I just type the wrong name into our show notes. No worries. Uh, hey, TRPW, or as he types in this email, TTPW. It is my free bus pass 60th birthday on February 25th. A while back, I was shocked to discover

that Coverville knew little about the record producer Joe Meek. So to well actually him on Joe Meek, I would like a cover of Have I the Right by the Honeycombs or Telstar by the tornadoes. The only problem is that the Joe Meek produced versions are way better than any covers. That said in 1977, what hit wonder Scottish boy band Dead End Kids

did reasonably competent version of have i the right which is better than the dead kennedy's version honestly t rbbw i like the vampire weekend version of have i the right i think they did a great job with it too that one's really good iTunes music sessions um so uh let's get to specifically your request this is have i the right by dead end kids yeah you know i knew the name jo meek and i knew tell star by the tornadoes and i knew the original version of this song but had no idea about the connection to Joe Meek. So very cool. Have I the right by Dead End Kids.

It was part of the frog bands network.com. Jeez. Calm down.
