I only hope you're in time to stop them before they. Borgify your friend. The Morning Stream,

Gads the baby! Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for Monday, March 2nd, 2020. Oh, hi, March. Oh, very good. Yeah. You're not March, though. You're Brian Nibitt.

Hi, Brian Nibbitt. I am, yes. I did. not hit February. I did not. I did not hit her. Oh, hi, March. Yeah, we're there. We're in it. It's a new month. It's kind of freaking me out. I'll tell you this. I think I believe in the birds more than I believe in people, because we've had weather people say, yeah, hardly any snow in the valley this entire winter. This has been a real weird winter, which it has been. But, hey, we still think that, you know, just some of this will be delayed and you'll still blah, blah, blah. Then suddenly

birds are everywhere singing. Like they think it's spring. Like I guess this is where we live now. Yeah. And I think that that is such a millions of years old evolutionary thing they do, that they know better than we do. And I think winter might just straight up be over, you know? Because it was like 60 degrees yesterday, super nice.

The birds are everywhere. The sun's out. We had a little rain, but it was warm rain. It was weird. If we look at last year, we had our heaviest snow, I think, at the beginning of February, and then we didn't have anything after it that even compared. So if it falls last year, then, yeah, we've had our worst. And the unfortunate thing is, you know, February is usually our snowiest month here,

and March is our second snowiest. And they're still not predicting anything for, I don't know. It's jacked, man. It is jacked. It's really weird, although the mountains look amazing because they're covered in snow, and that's what, you know, that's the important thing. We'll live in the valleys if we need to. Yeah. Yeah.

But anyway, we hope the weather where you all live is, is okay. Yes. I guess things. Especially goes out on the east. Hopefully, things are a little bit more in control for you guys in the East Coast. Yeah, if you guys, I assume they've dug out of that by now. I hope so, yeah. It was pretty bad for a few days there.

Anyway, it's nice to see you all. We got a new show today. Some good news. We'll just mention it now. Brian's case got pushed. So it's not his case. The case is being asked to testify in. The case I was subpoenaed for, yes, is push to May.

And they probably will plea before then. So, or plead? I guess plead. Plead out? No, that's bleed out. The plea is the noun. The plea is the verb. Plead is the noun.

Pledid. Anyway, they pledded. Yes. Pleadedated. So, I mean, here, Wednesday. So regular week for us. Yeah. It'll be fun. Try the wheel. Yeah. Try the wheel. Tip your waitress, all the things you do. I got to, is there, okay, I got to ask this question. This weekend, the unthinkable finally

happened on Saturday morning. The final leg of the installation of Google Fiber happened here at the house. And I've been waiting 12 years for this since I moved here. When I first moved here, because they were teasing it. Yeah. Oh, all the time in the beginning. They were just like, yeah, we were so excited about it, rolling it out soon and this and that. And then they didn't because there was some HOA hold up with a deal they had with CenturyLink, and they were going to wait for them to roll out their version of fiber, but that never materialized. So because we're in what's called Founders Park, the area that kind of started this and then it all grew out,

we are under different rules. So one day, as I mentioned on the show some month ago or so, or whatever it was, two months, Google came out here and just dug a bunch of holes around this one area and just this area. It didn't roll out anywhere else. We were like, what the heck is going on? We dug in and I'm like, sweet, that means any day now. And even the guy who put in the cement. And even the guy that put it in is like, yeah, you can have it any day now.

Like you can have it by the end of the week. Yeah, it didn't happen. It was like a month and a half. I had to wait. Yeah. But that was okay because it kind of happened all at once on Thursday last week. I got notice, excuse me, notice that they were ready and said, pick a day, pick a time. The first available.

Yeah. Come here at 3 a.m. I don't care for them. I'm in my underwear. Let's go. I didn't care. Yeah. So I set it all up. It's super simple, easy. This is the most stress-free part of this.

Clearly there's a tech company doing this and not some ancient-ass freaking regional provider bullshit where you just have to jump through weird hoops. It was so easy to do that part of it. So then our time rolls around. It's 10 a.m. on Saturday. and I'm up, I'm ready, I've cleared out space in the place where we keep most of our cabling and wires and other previous routers and all that. Like just whatever he needs, I'm ready for it. Exactly. Like there's a red carpet rolled out from the street all the way to where your router is.

Basically, yeah, I was just like, this guy's going to never, he'll never have a better greeting as he's going to get today. Cookies, the kid made a lasagna. He did have, she did have water and like, uh, breakfast sandwich. She had a bunch of crap ready. She totally did all that. So she did all that stuff. We have never been more ready for someone to come install something at the house than we were on Saturday. So bang-bang door rings. All right, I said, all right, kennel the dogs. Everybody does their thing. We have it all coordinated. I just want there to be no. Let's go time, folks. I want there to be no resistance, right? Carter, you know what you need to do. Alicia, over there. Yeah. Ripley, guard the back door. That's right.

So this guy comes in and he looks like one of us. Honestly, it's like a BlizzCon attendee. A good. A good. In fact, immediately I saw him and I went, all right, he's one of us, probably a big nerd. And he walks in and sure enough he is because he sees, as soon as he comes in, our little sitting area, has some Warcraft paraphernalia, like the picture book one with pop-ups in it

and some stuff I got from Blizzard, a couple of board games in there. And he goes, oh, no way. And I said, what's that? He goes, dude, where'd you get these? And he goes, I sold my Wow account for seven grand. Oh, geez. And I go, really? What for it?

And he goes, it was a high level PVP account that had all the mounts unlocked. And it's the only way you can get it unless you go grind it. I was like, oh, okay, that's cool. And then it hits me. I don't know. Here's the thing. I like to this guy. He was funny.

He knew his stuff like all sorts of things. Like, okay, I'd be like, all right, well, the wireless part of this. tell me what's best in terms of like the repeater so that we maximize throughout the house and distance and he's he's like all right well you know your stuff but so that's good so i'm going to talk to you in plain terms and then he would just get nerdy about it and i love that i was into it right i felt like again one of us he doesn't have to dumb it down for like uh you know nildred down the street of like okay this wire is going to come in the internet is in this wire right here yeah yeah and so he was thrilled that he was dealing with somebody who knew their shit. And I was thrilled that it wasn't somebody who was, I don't know, just hard to deal with or something. Super easy. So right now I'm thinking, man, everything is coming up Johnson today. This is great. And then it hits me like a, like a truck in the wrong lane. Oh, no. Okay. This guy. I've never experienced B.O. like this. Oh, really? Okay. And is there a rule?

really is like a blizzcon attendee. I mean, yeah, like, if you think about the worst hottest blizzcon you ever attended, the people who just straight up hadn't showered for four days, look, I don't want to shame anybody for whatever their personal habits are. Sure. But I had to be kind of close with them in a small space down here. I had to, like, be, he's like, all right, if you can come in here and help me configure whatever password you want in them.

I'm like, oh, my gosh. And now we're having that Seinfeld issue where it hasn't quite left yet. or the O has transferred from the B to the whatever. Yeah. So everything has, like I had a towel hanging up that was still sort of wet after I showered that morning. Okay. Yeah. That towel is dry now, but smells like the dude.

And he was nowhere near that bathroom. So, it was, I mean, honestly. And if he's listening, you, I really like this guy. I think his name was Corey. super nice but holy shite it was overwhelming Brian to the point

that the girls all kind of just went and like went off into their little corners and like all right so looks like your wires come down to this closet could you come in here with me? Nope I can't come in there

I'm really sorry I can would you like me to FaceTime you from out here I can do that if you'd like yeah and I just I just kind of you know these things are awkward social things but I just wanted to say, hey, man, I got a stick of the stuff in the bathroom.

You could just like... One little native. Kim actually has a bunch of toiletries we offer to the UPS guy. Would you like some? Yeah, here, just give him a little zip lock and you got all your stuff in there. You're already prepared for gift bags. Brian, it was so bad. I just can't even explain it.

There's a guy that goes to Panera and does the same. Like, there's a contingency of like the coffee people, the Panera coffee people. I see like four or five of them every morning. most mornings that go there around the same time I do. They are just there to use their sip club free coffee. Only one other person brings his own container. The rest of them all get the Panera paper cup.

But come on now. I have a Spider-Man cup and by the collie, I'm going to use it. For sure. Don't they know who you are? Exactly. But there's one guy who gets there a little bit before I do typically and has already gotten his cuff and he's getting rid head. out and I don't get it, but he's got like a, like a sour, B.O. smell.

Like a, um, I showered and then I got on the treadmill and ran until I sweat, you know, cover, until I was covered with sweat. And then I put my clothes on and came to Panera kind of smell. Yeah. Like that sour, dry sweats. RFK Jr.'s pants, his jeans. That's right. Yes. Yeah.

That's exactly. What are you talking about? Anyway. So now Panera, the Panera I go to has the airlock, right, where you've got the outside door, then a little square room, and then the entrance to Panera. So you have to go through this little box. Oh, it's like the airlock, yeah. Yeah, the airlock, basically.

They all have that. It's weird. They all have that. I think you probably all have that. Yeah, it's just some deal. It's like to, because they want to encourage cold weather coffee people to like, come in and and well it might not be warm in this first little room but it'll be really warm in the second room because you're not letting all that cold air all the way in oh it's a good point yeah

and he will he will stand there in the vestibule and hold the inner panera door open for me which means that i have to open the outer door come in and share the little small vestibule with him but he's being nice he's being very you know very very very courteous uh polite and opening the door for me, but it's like, oh, come on out. Here, I'll hold the door open for you. Come on outside where there's lots of air and when maybe. Oh, man. Yeah. So I always try and time it.

So I, like, I'm either in Panera when he's in there or he comes out before I go in. But even then, like, I go in that little airlock room. And it's like, oh, yeah, that guy was in here. Yeah. There's just still getting away from it. Now, to those who may be concerned that any of these people were referring to, maybe have a medical condition. Some people have.

Yeah, it's certainly possible. Yes. And that's, and we were, listen, I stay, I was, I started to get used to it while he was here, sucking it up, literally, hanging out in the room with him, talking forever. And then we've talked about Warhammer for a long time. We talked about, like, he was nerding out, right? Yeah, he knows his stuff. Yeah. And he was like, oh, man, I just bought the new Sigma or something, something.

And I go, how much is that run? He goes, oh, it's so damn expensive. But I, I do two jobs. so I can cover all like because I love this stuff he's not talking about all these things. Super nice guy. Somebody I would totally hang out with.

But oh man. Yeah, that would be the tough part right there is that little, yeah, it's a bummer. Yeah, anyway, I got my fiber though. Check this out. I'm currently running. Well, this router will only do 2.5 gigabit. So I have three.

I got a new router coming and it'll give me full pipe. But at that, it's like 25, Yeah, it's nothing. Like, we're not going to run into those minutes where it's like, oh, it's, you know, whatever movie we're watching, it's taking a second for it to get its bandwidth up. But we're going to get a little bit of pixely there for a second, but it'll be fine. Yeah. And when I put up my, when I put up core the other day on the normal, on the old ISP, it was a 15 gigabyte video file. Yeah.

And it took 38 minutes or something. Yeah. And some of that's YouTube. They have their own throttle or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was still, it's always a pretty bad. And then when I upload shows, I like today when I upload the show here,

it's usually, I don't know, minute and a half to get a full TMS up. Now that 15 gig file went up in like, I don't know, 10 second, 12, 15 seconds. Like I was sure putting up film sack yesterday. It was like, oh, it was nothing. In fact, that was my first one to get to do it with. The only reason I did the core one over again

was so I could see the difference. I'm just seeking to impair it. I was like, holy shit. That was crazy. So look, I know a lot of you out there have had fiber for a decade. To you, I say, how can you ever go on without this now? You even know there's some people out there who've been waiting and waiting and still don't have fiber in their area. Not even the hint of an availability.

Yeah. Yeah. I feel you're paying. I did it for 12 years. And here's the thing. I'm paying less for it than I was for crap. That's amazing. It's cheaper.

It's 26 times faster than what I had prior or something like that. It's always on. I can have four 4K TVs running at the same time I'm uploading a giant file and playing a video game, getting zero ping. Like it's ridiculous. I don't know how you live without this now. If there's a future where something that goes terribly wrong. How am I going to deal with it?

How am I going to live? Now I'm spoiled. I've only had it for like four or three days or whatever. Yeah. Anyway, it is what it is. That's awesome. I'm envious and I'm happy for you and I can't wait for it to happen here. Me too. I want you to get it sooner than later because you're going to be in love. All right. Speaking of being in love, we're going to do this right here.

Yes, that's right. We're in love with Brian Dunaway and he's here right now. Hello. Hi. Brian Dunaway, you there? Hello? He's talking, but I don't hear him. I hear noises. Yeah, I hear noises. Maybe he can't hear us. Let's see. Yeah, he's there on his little head. phony units. Let me just make sure he's not muted. Now I can hear you. Oh, hi. Hello. Oh. Oh. Oh, hello. Oh, hi. Oh, hi. It's good to see you, man.

Or hear you anyway. You can see me? You can see me? Well, I wasn't going to tell you, but we live in a surveillance state now. And you're part of it. I feel like I have been surveilled. Yep. You've been surveilled. But don't worry. It's for a good cause because today we play a game and we do it for the good of people out there listening, and we explain it with Brian Nibbitt's mouth.

Explain. Yes, we do. Right out from my mouth. Let's tell you how to play it. Today, welcome to the morning half asses, a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct in three, like getting to see that video again

of the road rage accident, just incorrect. Depending on how confident you feel with each category can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you get any wrong, they get zero points for that round. If you get one right, you get a point. If you get two right, I'm going to throw in an extra one for you. Like a baker's dozen, but with points. So you get three. If you get three, we're going to double that baker's dozen, an extra point and make it five.

I've made it more complicated. Whatever. We're going to add up all those points after three rounds. You're going to win a prize for your contestant. Contestants have been pulled from members of the tadpool that aren't able to listen live. Scott, you are playing for Darth Platypus. Oh, nice. Oh, I like that.

I like that name a lot. scary Sith in the history of the planet. It really is. Yes, exactly. Brian, you're playing for Joel, I'm sorry, Joel Wellheifer. Oh, there you go. Or Hoffer, Wilhofer, Wilhofer. Hofer. Hofer. Hoffer. One of those, you're playing for him. And we'll talk about the prizes at the end. Let's go ahead and get to question number one. Remember six, six answers, three of which are correct, three of which are incorrect. Cities once home to the world's tallest building. Which of these cities We're once home to the world's tallest building. Your choices are Hamburg, Germany.

Hamburgers. Shanghai, China, Taipei, Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Shaltre, France, or Milwaukee, Milwaukee, USA. Oh, man. I noticed Chicago, Chicago's not on here. Chicago is not on there. Because that's an easy one, because it was for a hot minute, right? It was for just a shorty, a short time. Shorty.

I'm going to go shorty. I'm going crazy here. Oh, you're going crazy. Now I feel like I got to go craziest too. Bam. Yeah.

Look at you guys going crazy. Scott was implying that he was going crazy by choosing three. He didn't, just to let you know. I almost did. What a jerk. Let's start with Taipei, Taiwan. You guys? both selected that one.

From 2004 to 2010, Taipei had the tallest building. Very good. Yes, absolutely correct. Yeah, the tallest is... The tallest is still the Wiz Khalifa or whatever it's called, right? The Buzz Khalifa. What is it?

It's something like that. Burj Khalifa. Burj Khalifa. That's it. Burj Khalifa. Stay with you name. Right. Also,

Kuala Lumpur. Brian, you selected Kuala Lumpur. And that is correct. Yes, from 1998 to 2004. No brainer. No brain. That was the tallest building of the city home to the tallest building for that time. This last one I wasn't sure about.

I was a little nervous. Yeah. I can understand why. Scott got me with his old, I'm going all in. I'm like, well, it's early. Let's go all in. You and Scott both chose it. You and Scott both chose.

You're going down with me. So you're either succeeding or failing together. And I'm happy to report that you're failing. together. Shanghai, China never had the tallest building. The other one was Hamburg, which had the tallest building from 1647 to 1874. Over 200 years, Hamburg was the city with the tallest building in the world. So the France one is the only one that really tempted me. And I'm glad, I lost either way. But I was, I was sure for some reason. It was just so chartres. How do you say it? Chatra.

Chatra, France. shout time. It's pretty good. You got to, now you can never shave your armpits. You have to wear a beret. That's right. Exactly.

I did watch a video. Today we are learning how to pronounce the city in France that never had the world's tallest building. These are the rules. I don't make them. That's right. All right. Let's get to zero points for both of you.

But, you know, there's always question number two. And I have faith in you for question number two. I like this one a lot for you guys. TV. We all watch TV. We, we, you know, watch it for film sac. We watch it for recommendals. We watch a lot of TV. Which of these are American versions of foreign TV shows? Your choices are Baywatch, House of Cards, Breaking Bad, American Idol, Ugly Betty, and Friends. Three of these originated somewhere outside the United States. Well, I know this one for sure.

Oh, which one? not telling you. I think I know them. Okay. Hold on. Can I guess for a quick judge clarification? Sure. I'm judge clarification.

Sure. One of these has its beginning somewhere else. Has the name of a country. Yes. Yeah. I'm going to. It's an American version of a foreign TV show. Does not necessarily have that.

same name. Right. So that one could be it. Could be. Yeah. Brian's already locked in. You could talk about what you're talking about openly. Shit. American Idol. Because it's its own thing here, but it was called like something to other shit.

Now you're wanting me to never lock in until Scott has locked in. Well, you can do whatever you want. I know. I know. I'm locking. That's a thought. Exactly. Now maybe, now we need me to give the timer. Yeah. Let's address the, Simon Fuller

elephant in the room. American Idol. Absolutely was pop idol in the UK. And then when they brought over here, they renamed it to American Idol because that's what they did. So American Idol, correct, yes. All right, we'll take that one.

Let's see. Scott chose House of Cards. And you were sure about that one. I'm positive about this one. Oh, really? Where did it originate? Britain, I think. That is absolutely correct.

Yes, House of Cards did originate in Britain. Probably with a less problematic... I never saw House of Cards at all. The old one was more like... Probably a most problematic dude in the lead. Yeah, my memory was it was like he's a prime minister type, and it was like, you know, British politics, but it's similar thing, like, same deal as far as I know.

Yes. Brian, your other choice was friends. That's... They're known as these friends of mine. Ah, shit. Yeah. And all these... But no, I'm kidding.

that wasn't it. Everybody said, this is a version of friends. So friends started it and then they made other friends and then they made other friends and other friends in other countries. Ugly Betty,

I almost chose Ugly Betty. I had a weird memory about that. Yeah. Ugly Betty was originally in Columbia called Yoso Yippetti La Faya. Wow. That doesn't roll off the tongue. It doesn't.

Yeah, I think it does. Okay. Why so ugly Betty, I think is. I would. know I don't know what that translates to. All right. So Scott going into question three with three points, Brian, you're going to need to work some magic on this last one.

So we're going to have to see how you do. Number three. I figure out where my durn window went. Did I? Your durn window. Oh, your durn window. I'm going to start the timer. Just kidding.

Hey, you're in the game. You're in the game. You're in the game. Then where's the freaking window? I don't know. I don't know. This is your scaring. Can you re-log in?

Can you? Can you? Is it just your browser you're talking about? Oh, I see it. Okay, good. All right, good. All right. Gasses.

Gasses that make up more than, or that can make up more than 1% of the air you breathe. So which of these are gases that can make up more than 1% of the air you breathe? Number of number, I could do numbers. Water vapor, argon gas, methane gas, carbon dioxide, nitrogen gas, and oxygen gas. Three of these are in the air that you breathe. Yeah. Just like the holly's saying. more than 1% interesting more than 1%

what happens if it's more than 1% then what happens good that's what you want you want the gases that are more than 1% if it's less than 1% then you don't want that now I'm thinking maybe I'm thinking of it backwards gases that can make up more than 1% of the air you breathe right all right what you said it may it sound like well you need to be opposite of that methane gas is the fart gas That's what you have to remember.

It can make up more than 1% of the air that you breathe. Yeah, the air you breathe. It's more than 1% than you can't breathe it because you're dying. Well, that's what you're saying, right? No, he's saying. I'm saying if you look to, if you broke down the air that you breathe. Any of these things could have more than 1% you can still breathe it in. You die, but.

Well, that's true. Okay. Okay. I see what he's saying. Like, all right, if you go outside and take a deep breath of South Carolina air. Right. Which of these things will be. The most likely things.

in the air. In the air, correct. Yes. There you go. Okay. You can breathe any of these things. You might not want to. Yeah. Okay. That's true. You don't want to breathe that argon gas. I don't think. Yeah. I don't actually

know. I have no idea. There we go. All right. Okay. You're locked in. Let's go with the obvious one. Oxygen. Come on now. This is no brainer. It was so obvious. I almost didn't choose it, Brian. 21%.

I had to ask because I'm like, this seems like a trick. Yeah, that felt like a trick. It does seem like a trick. 21% of the air that you breathe is, is on average oxygen gas. So very good. All right. Let's see. Let's go to Scott's choice of water vapor.

This became such a huge thing during the pandemic because it was like, well, the particles of COVID travel on water vapor. So we need some of the mask that's small enough to keep the water vapor molecules. Is Tina? Is Tina on this call? What happened? She was. She was working with Dr. Fauci back then.

Exactly. Great. Yeah. Yeah, go ahead. Sorry. Water vapor is between zero and four percent. Yes, it can make up more than 1% of the air you breathe. So we have one more here.

Probably more than down where Brian lives or Dunaway lives because he's in a very humid environment. That's right. That's close to the 4%. Scott chose methane gas. And Brian. shows carbon dioxide. He likes to do it up. One comes out of the back of a person.

The other one comes out of the back of a car. And no, it's carbon monoxide. They're probably both wrong. They are indeed both wrong. Oh, shit. The most common gas in the air that we breathe is nitrogen gas. Nitrogen. That's 78%.

78%? 78% is nitrogen. Holy macaroli. Yes. Wait, and oxygen is what again? 20 or something? 21%. Basically, if you add those together, you get 99%

and water vapor can make up the rest of that. I'll bet if Bobby's in the chat, he's having pains right now. Is he in the chat? Yeah, because I clicked on carbon dioxide when I meant to click on nitrogen gas because I was so freaking...

Oh, no. Because I was so freaking upset about the freaking... Hey, what you mean. Done away. Done away. Here's what you need to do. I'm so mad about it. No, no. Here's what you need to do, dude.

You need to go watch the Vod of me trying to play Jackbox where I did a very similar thing where my brain would not let me choose the obvious thing they were asking me to do. And instead, I had to do the thing that makes no sense to anyone but me. I can't even, like you explained it and I still can't figure out. I honestly, I'm not even, I'm afraid to go watch it because I feel like maybe I'll witness. You smell toast? Yeah.

I'm worried I'm going to see myself in a way that I've never. seen myself. Scott was told to draw something that would be along the line like the morph line from hand to foot. But it was like between them is how it was worded. And I don't know what percentage you were told. You were either told. Make it

70% foot, 30% hand or 30% I'm with you Scott. That's a. And I so I did height because to me it was like between a person's arm or whatever it was or hand I guess. Like 30 okay. So wait. So if somebody is

standing up. Now it's finally making sense. Yeah. That's it. Somewhere between. Yes. And I drew a dog or a cat because the cat was it, whatever it was, 70% or 20%? I don't remember what the deal was. It was so stupid that I

couldn't, I couldn't see it. And then me trying to explain it was murder. It was terrible. So what I'm saying, Brian, is don't feel bad. That you didn't quite understand this question because I made a fool out of myself the other day. I put, so at the end of the game, Jack Bucks always says, hey, would you like to review any of the answers that were in the game?

And I said, yes, I would, so I could take a screenshot of it. Oh, do you have it here? Put it up. I do. I put it in the film sack chat. So Brian could see that. Oh, look at that. Hold on.

Why isn't the discord open? Okay, there we go. See, yeah. So I said, where does this drawing belong between foot and hand? And I was thinking, here's your statement. standing, here's your hand, and there's your foot. Right. Where would that dog be?

Just about to your knee. What if you've got your hands in the air like you just don't care? Then it's a higher percentage. Yeah, it's so dumb. I admit it. It's dumb. I loved it. I loved it.

It was, uh, hair chatting. You can see it. It was so bad. Anyway, Brian, done away. You owe me one because I just deflected your whole thing over to me. I appreciate that. Like I said, I was so hung up on the idea that the question was trying to ask me what would kill you if it was over a certain percentage.

For some reason, that's the way I was thinking about it. I'm like, it's over a certain percentage. It's going to kill you. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Well, there's a scare to gas. Yeah. Be afraid of that.

Fear of gas. Well, let's talk about people who don't have fear. And that's Darth Platypus and Joel Wellhofer, or Hoffer, because they've won stuff. Darth Platypus, you're getting a couple of great games. You're getting footlall, epic soccer league. and Dungeons of Chaos. Yeah, that's a good game. Joel, you are getting a copy of Sophia

the Traveler, also on Steam. All three of these, by the way, courtesy of King, Kim Azabi. Oh, very nice. He's always very kind with his codes. And if you are out there and you've got like stacks of humble bundle codes or just old Steam codes, you can't push or whatever,

just let us know, send them to me, send him to Brian. It doesn't matter which of us. We put them in the dock here and there's still a ton, but, you know, if you're ever just like, I don't know what to do with that. these. We know what to do with them. Okay. Yeah, we will make people's day by giving them away his prizes and they'll love it. That's right. Brian done away. You did great, man. It was great. It was great hanging with you today.

I appreciate you. You're such a gracious winner today. Well, I'm a gracious winner. Sorry, winner. And I'll tell you what's fun. Tomorrow night, before we meet again on Wednesday here on TMS, you and I will be doing a little watch retro. And I want people to check that out because it's basically us watching ancient, usually animation. Sometimes it'll be other stuff. but really old stuff that just we're like, how does this exist? And so then we watch it with you guys. And we laugh and laugh.

Yeah, we have a great time. Then we pass it out and we wake up and laugh some more. It's great. Yeah, that's how you live. That'll be 4 p.m. tomorrow night here on the Twitch channel. That's twitch.com. Am I missing anything? No, kiss our butts.

Kiss our butts. Caught him unawares. Yes. All right. No Nicole yet. So what I'm going to do is, is read one of our emails and see if that buys her some time. If not, we'll just get started.

So here is, you know what we got to do when we do that. I always forget. We got to do this. Here it is. This is about the jugs of pee. This is from Stewart. Rodin said, hey, Sylvester and Bagheera. Trying to understand the connection there.

Hold on. Bagheera. Yeah. I don't know because one is the enemy of Tweety Bird. The other is the enemy of Godzilla, which is very different. Yeah. It couldn't be. Well, I guess we'll find out.

I was listening to episode 2932. I am a couple of months behind. And I heard Scott's story regarding finding a whole chicken in the driveway. It reminded me of a situation I had in the 90s when I was a kid. We returned to the house one day and found a whole cooked chicken stuck in our cat flap. And one of our... Why that's so funny? A whole cooked chicken stuck in our cat flap.

Well, like it curled in, died, and cooked. Or no, and cooked, yeah. It was a cooked chicken. With one of our cats stuck outside and another cat stuck inside, if only we carried cameras in our pockets like then, then we do now. Love the show, though, Stuart and Edinburgh. Well, Stuart and Edinburgh. So that sounds like cats did it. In my case, I drug it in and got it stuck.

And I hadn't considered this, but maybe a cat did the thing I saw. I don't know. Could be. Yeah. Or even like a coyote or pulled it out of a thing out of a trash can and dragged it to your driveway. By the way, I confused Gidre, or Gidehira, Gidehira, with Bagheera. Bagheera was the lion, or I'm sorry, the tiger in Jungle Book. Oh.

Yeah. Right. The tiger, not the panther. The panther was a, right? I have that wrong. Is there a panther? There's a panther in that. Is there a panther?

Maybe it was the panther as Bagheera. I can't remember. Panther is Bagheera. Begira was a panther. Chir Khan is the tiger. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Something about that was familiar. But I also totally believe that it was a Godzilla villain. I know. I totally like I saw that and I've got mothra brain. You know, whatever. Sure. Yeah.

That's a good way to explain. As we get older, we just call it mothra brain. Yeah, you got mothra brain. Thank you for that. Here. Oh, we got Nicole. She's waiting. Yeah, we've got Nicole.

Yeah, we're going to bring her in. Perfectly. Yeah, that was good timing. And everything worked out in the end. Let's play this button. right here. Where the hell is it right here? Well, what do you recommend? Uh, yes, it's time for recommendals. We talk about stuff streaming on services so that you don't have to. Well, no, then you can go watch them is what I'm trying to say. And we have with us, Nicole Spagnolo on

the line. Hello. Hello, friends. Hi, how are you? How do I sound? You sound great. I was getting coffee and I heard you say, oh, she's not in the thing. I was like, oh, I forgot to get in the thing. Yes, the thing is, the thing is key. You must get in the thing. Yeah, there is no, there is no show without the thing. But we're glad you're here and I hope you're doing good today. I'm doing really, really good. Are you good? And I'm sorry I missed last time.

I was going to recommend a documentary. Maybe I'll eventually recommend it. But today I bring a happy movie. Oh, good. Oh, I can't wait. Oh, I like a good movie. It's a little sad. It's a little happy.

It's a lot like life. So I got a lot of questions about this one. so you haven't seen it no oh my god nor have i read the book it's based on oh my goodness i know i know what is wrong with me it's gonna be a fun one guys it's gonna be a fun one um i just realized i forgot to grab brian's i'll do that now while i'm thinking about it uh but brian why don't you explain this clip i'm about to pull down i will explain the clip you're about to hear this is a movie that um that i expected uh would be among the nominees somewhere at the uh the oscars this year i was really surprised a lot of people were really surprised because this had acting

nominations at the Golden Globes for its two leads and and it's a movie about kind of Hollywood celebrating Hollywood kind of thing so I was kind of surprised that this this didn't even get a nod because they like those right they do like those and I thought this was great and so this is one of those things it's like all right well you know what it's still absolutely worth seeing worth recommending so let's play the clip, you're going to recognize a couple of voices in here for sure. Here you go. I can't believe he's actually on our train

with us. Are you real? Believe so, yeah. And will you be using the same bathroom as us? I'll try to remember to put the seat down. I'm speaking of guys. He's a good egg that one. A real double young guy. I read that he's never the Suducine is famous.

I'm sorry, there's so many people here. I've been on a train in 20 years. 30, man. A subway. I can't tell you the last time was on a subway. Oh, the Cossack picture. All right. It was on the stage, but the dimensions were very accurate. We saw you being honored at a prestigious Tuscan Arts Festival.

Oh, you're too young to be having a tribute. Well, you're very kind, but I don't know how many more movies I have in me. At least one more. I'd love to have a tribute in Italy in Italy. Clyde, they don't give tributes to computer programmers in Italy or anywhere. I expect you'll get all dressed up and invite all your friends and family. That's what I'd do. Anyway, that's right.

It's your career. Let's do it up. Invite your kids. Invite your dad. My dad? No, but why not? My kids, I don't know. I'm my dad. He's your dad.

He's not going to be here forever. Okay. All right, but you call him. You send him a plane if he wants. John? I've been very curious about this one. So I didn't realize how much Dennis Lerry sounds like George Clooney. It's actually George Clooney.

Yeah. You still don't, apparently, because you could say, you could say that still, no, it still counts. I was like, no, it totally sounds like this. What you said still counts, though, because he knows what? He does sound like Dennis Lirio a little bit. He absolutely does, but it's very funny. Oh, my God. That is

George Clooney and Adam Sandler and a bunch of other people on a train in the film, Jay Kelly. This is a film that came out last year when, I think, theaters for a few weeks and then went right to Netflix because it is a Netflix-produced film.

And it's about an actor named Jay Kelly, played by George Clooney, who is very popular. I mean, it feels like it could almost be

biographical about George Clooney, except he's... He's not really having the burnout or the end of career thing. He's not having kind of the midlife crisis that Jay Kelly is having. He's kind of having that.

He's, you know, he goes to a funeral for a director that he worked with. he bumps into an old acting school roommate who you know who j kelly actually got a got a gig from or got the role that this guy wanted there he's just a little bit angry and and instead of going to do this new movie that he needs to do he decides to just push all that away and travel off to europe to go see his daughter who is also traveling in europe and they're following the the amex credit card

account of his daughter's friend to kind of see where they are so that they can catch up with the whole time. This thing is like chock full of people you know and love like Laura Dern. Billy Cruttup plays the or Crude Up plays the old acting friend of Jake Kelly's. Oh, the one that got the role. The one that got the role. I love Billy Crut up. It doesn't matter what he does, dude.

He's so good. He is great. And he's like, he's one of those guys that I'm sure is. the nicest guy in real life, but boy, can he play a slimy, little jerk. Emily Mortimer, who is always fantastic and just underused. I love Emily Mortimer so much. She's so great. You heard Jamie Demetriou there.

You know him from the, what was it, Stethlats flats, Stathlet's Flats. Oh, right. He's also the brother of Naja from what we do in the shadows. Oh. Notcha. Wait, brother in the show? No brother in real life. Oh.

The real life brother of the actress. I didn't know that. That's cool. Greta Gerwig is in this. Patrick Wilson playing, kind of playing himself, but playing an actor named Ben Alicoc. Jim Broadbent,

Stacey Keech, Riley Keio, just a ton of people. Adam Sandler's real daughter, Sadie Sandler. I hear she's up and coming. I can see why. she's really really good yeah um anyway it uh there's it really it really it doesn't feel like it's much of a stretch for cluny um playing this kind of character he does it really well he does it

effortlessly and and he's endearing he's like somebody that you you feel sorry for but you also um love uh the character in this film um but it's adam sandler's portrayal of ron uh jay kelly's manager that is, you know, we've seen, we've seen Sandler do drama before and he's always really good at it. Punch drunk love. Up in the air was up in the air. Oh, that's Sandler. Sorry. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But we have seen when he do drama as well before. There's anguish. There you go. I mean, uncut gems alone is like this like miracle, I think. So, so good. And it really just show how good Adam Sandler could be a drama. And he does have to, he has to flex his, drama chops in here and he plays a very believable character. You don't see any Sandler in this

except for, you know, you hear the voice every once in a while of an Adam Sandler character. You kind of hear that coming out. But that's about it. The frustration of sometimes working with Jay Kelly, you hear it in Laura Dern's voice, you hear it in Adam

Sandler's voice, they both work. She's his publicist, he's his manager. And this is really, it's really good and and by the end there's this moment this whole thing at the end i won't talk about it won't spoil but it is so cleverly done that um that you you if you if you had any doubts about what a great character j kelly is they're gone by the end of of the film uh his uh his his his his the ending you the ending bit is just so fantastic. So I won't, I won't spoil it. I'll just say that if you don't love the ending,

then there's something wrong with you. Oh, all right. So this obviously is on Netflix. That's right. Exactly. This is on Netflix. And even though there's no, nothing in the Oscars, it'll be like, oh, I'm really going to be rooting for Jay Kelly in this category. Nope. You'll still feel like you're watching an Oscar worthy picture just because if there were, you know, another couple slots in the best picture category. I have no doubt that Jay Kelly would have been included. It feels like Oscar bait to me. I'm a little shocked to make it in.

Yeah, it really does. Is Jay Kelly, is Jay Kelly a real person? Because it's very close to R. Kelly and I don't know why they chose that. It's J.A. Y as opposed to a J. period, Kelly like R. Kelly. And at no point does

George Cludy P. on anybody. Oh, good. Good. So that's good. Thank the Lord. Yeah. I was like, why is. Why did they pick that name? That's right. By the way, it's directed by Noah Bombach, who, uh, who's directed a bunch of stuff that we like kicking and screaming, squid and the whale. Um, directed, uh, with, with, um, Greta, uh, what he produced or he did something with Barbie.

Like he wrote it. He's married to, yeah, he's married to Greta Gerwig. He was married to Jennifer Jason Lee and then, and then married Greta Gerwig. Yeah, he, he's not right. I should say co-wrote that because she also has co-writing Right. But yeah, they were really big on that. There was another one I, oh, I know what it was.

So he writes a lot of, what's his name stuff? The West Anderson stuff. Yes. So Life Aquatic is his. Yeah. Most of them, actually. He works with him a ton. But Fantastic Mr. Fox is probably my favorite combo. And that's-

You don't say. Yeah, I love it so much. I love it so much. That's got George Clooney in it. It does. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, so Jay Kelly, J.A.Y. Kelly, Nicole, and does not feature Dennis Leary at all, but it's on Netflix and it's absolutely worth watching.

Nice. All right, Nicole. Let's swing it over to you. You brought a film, didn't you? I did. I brought a film that I have been meaning to watch. My mom was like, oh, you got to watch it. You got to watch it.

I don't really want to say too much. I will say this. If you haven't seen it. and you don't know that it's based off of a short story by one of my favorite authors. It will be a little confusing watching this movie. It stars Loki, what's his face? Tom Hiddleston? Yeah.

So it's a great, he's not in this clip. It's just a great movie. You will cry. You will be confused. Just stick with it. It's kind of Benjamin. button like the end starts at the beginning kind of thing. Sorry, I had to sneeze.

I'll play the clip now. Here's the clip, everybody. The clip. What's in there between my hands? My brain. No, that's not exactly what I mean. What's in there? Right between my hands right now.

I don't know. All the people you know? I guess. Just the people you know? everything you see, everything you know, world, Chuck, planes in the sky, manhole covers in the street, every year that you live, that world inside your head will get bigger and brighter and more detailed and complex. You will build cities and countries and continents and you will fill them with people and faces. I hear Kate Siegel there, right? I don't know who they are. They're very, this is a very, very short.

short, her role is very small. She's the teacher of Chuck. Her husband directed it, so she just has to be in all his movies. That's the deal. And by the way, that's a compliment. Yeah, that's a compliment because Mike Flanagan movies are amazing and TV shows. And she's in all of them. Dr. Calhoun says, I hate it already. That's Dr. Calhoun. He's a curmudgeon. He's just a grumpy. He has a doctorate. He has a doctorate and being grumpy. That's what he's got. It's all right. That's right. So this is the movie Life of Chuck. And my mom, she's like, oh, you got to watch it. You got to watch it just for the dance scene alone. And I was like, wait, what is this movie? And then I was like, oh, I know this. This is the short story in

if it bleeds by Stephen King. Yep. So when I read the story, I read it way before I saw the movie. It, for me, knowing doesn't ruin anything. So when people are like, oh, spoilers, I'm like, you know, I kind of, when I get a spoiler, I kind of want to watch. And if it's a good spoiler, I want to watch it even more. Yeah. That's, by the way, that's consistent with the science around spoilers. People don't want to admit it, but spoilers often actually drive more engagement into the thing.

So I knew, I knew how this story was going to go. I read it. But I still, I don't know, his Stephen King short stories make amazing movies. You got Shawshank Redemption. There's a, yeah, stand by me. That was the body. There's just something, because when you try to take a novel and turn it into a movie, it almost never works. It's just, there's just too much meat to that story for a movie.

Now, series, like an episodic series, like the outside of, amazing. So this is a short story by Stephen King in the book, if it bleeds. And it's about Chuck and his life. And you get kind of dropped into chapter three and you go backwards. So it will be, if you have not read the story, it will be a little disorienting because you're like, what the hell's going on? I don't understand what's going on. If you stick with it, it will it will make total sense. And it's a beautiful story. It has a little bit of supernatural in it.

Loki. Tom. Hiddleston. Hildeson. Hiddleston. Hiddle. Hiddle. Hiddle.

Just calling Hiddle. He's just wonderful. He's wonderful. He's wonderful. He's wonderful. Yeah. So, and yeah, it's just, oh, and Nick Offerman is the narrative. I love him.

Oh, what a cast in this thing? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Karen Gillen, Mark Hamill, Mia Sarah, Scott. Yeah, my old high school crush. Mia Sarah's in there and Chittorwell, Fidapha.

He's in there. Matthew Lillard. Oh, yes, Matthew Lillard. Oh. David Dasmeltian. Oh, we love him. We do. Can I just tell you my love of Matthew Lillard?

I think he does not give, get enough credit for, like when he showed up in Twin Peak season, I was so excited to see him. He's having a moment right now. He's having a resurgence. Yeah. Well, he's in the Freddie Fasbear.

He was in the Freddie Fasperer movie. Isn't he in the new scream thing or no? Maybe I guess he wouldn't be ready. He is. Oh, right, right, right. Wait, wait, wait. He's at the premiere. I saw him on a premiere red carpet thing. Yeah.

So that could just be that he went and showed up. We're trying not to spoil a 20-year-old franchise. Exactly, yes. But, yeah. So here's the deal with Matthew Liller in Life of Chuck. it's a very somber moment with his neighbor. And it's just, it's just really well acted.

And it's like you kind of put yourself in his spot. Like, what would you do? What would you do in this, in this situation? So it happens in the first act of the movie. It's on Hulu, right?

Uh, believe so. Hulu is the streamer. Yeah. Yes. If you've been kind of passing it by because, you know, you just see a guy like in a dance move. Don't watch it. It's, it's wonderful.

I admit, I saw the cover of this and it doesn't match the name of the original book. So it didn't ring the bell with me. So when I saw the cover, I went, what is this like another LA LA land or like what am I doing? Right. Because he looked like he's in dancing or like it also reminded me a little bit of the secret life of Walter Middy. It looked like, okay, is this going to be some sort of like. that he imagines all of his life stuff. Yeah, but then I saw Mike Flanagan,

how did this pass me by? Because I'll see anything he makes. So I'm in. I'm all in. I would think you would watch anything written by Stevie King. It depends. There's a lot of bad adaptations out there.

I know. Under the dome. Yeah, under the dome was pretty bad. But that was a great book. No, it listened. I don't know if you know this, Nicole. This is the guy, Mike Flanagan, is making the Dark Tower series.

I don't know if you knew that. I know. What is that supposed to come out? I don't know, but they best hurry before I die. Her fingers go right to the keys of a laptop. Do you hear it? Yeah. Yeah.

He's working. He's already done like what? This is like his fifth or sixth adaptation. He did Dr. Sleep. He did. Oh, Dr. Sleep was so good. I know. Dr. Sleep had no right to be as good as it was.

What was the other thing? Oh, Gerald's game he directed. Like he works with King constantly. He's the perfect guy for this. He loves Dark Tower as much as me and you do. Like I they have to hurry though before I die. Did you see

that there's a new dark tower like spin off story coming out? I did here. I read that Peter. I've already pre-ordered it. Yeah, I don't uh, yeah, I haven't done that yet, but I am curious about it. I think it's weird that he's co-writing it though. Yeah. But maybe you want to pass it on or something. I don't know. What was it the keyhole book?

Oh. Was it a wizard in the keyhole? I don't know. Wizard and glass. You're talking about Wizard and Glass? No, no, no. No, it was the, so after the Dark Terror series, all seven books came out, there was a- Oh, through the keyhole, I think it was called. Through the keyhole or something. I think that's his, that's his son.

Yeah. No. Yeah. But it's a dark tower side story. Through the keyhole? It is through the keyhole. That is correct. Yeah.

I believe. The Wizard peeked through the keyhole. Yeah. Okay. And I like that little, I like that little spin out. Do you know if it's. during Roland's time or is this a post? Yeah, I got the impression

that it was. Oh my gosh, dude. I'm so excited. You just did a little girl clap. I did. I get giddy about this stuff. I love it. I mean, that series is my favorite series of all time.

So I really have high hope for it. A little bit more. Just a little bit more. Yeah, just a little bit. And it's like when you think it's done, it's not done because it's infinite. It's like once you understand Stephen King's world. And then you're like, how do all these stories happen in this world? And then

if you understand the Dark Tower, then it just like, it's my, it's my geeky obsession. I love it. I love it too. I love all of the interconnected multiverse stuff they do in there. And I love that. I love the language of it. It makes me want to say, instead of saying, you don't understand, I want to say you don't can it. Because that's what they say in the books. Oh, it's okay. Yeah, you remember that? He was always saying that. It says, I don't, I don't, I don't, Ken, basically the abbreviation, Ken, in that book in that world, meant, and Roland said it mostly, but it meant you don't understand or you do understand. Like, I can, K-E-N. I always liked how he said tuna fish, tutorfish.

Tudor fish, yep. Which for some people is real. That's a real thing. Tudor. Tudor. Tuna fish. Anyway, life of chuck on Hulu, wonderful. Just, and that's how Stephen King writes.

he doesn't necessarily try to get a big epic story. He focuses on like the smallest little thing. So like with hearts of Atlantis, again, dark tower world. Yep. With the movie with Anthony Hopkins. That movie and that story makes so much more sense now that I've seen the read and seen the Institute. Did you ever watch that?

I didn't watch it yet, but I was careful. I was super curious about it. Oh, it's so good. Is it good? You like it? It's amazing. I finished it. It was wonderful.

And that was based on an older thing or a newer thing? No, newer. That was the one book that I think I've, I finished it in two days. And I don't think I've ever finished a novel in two days. And they made it into a series on MGM Plus, which I think I recommended it. But then again, I was pretty out of it for 2025. I've, oh, I realize there's a movie. I thought it was just the show.

No, no, no. It's a, it's a show. Yeah. It's a series. So it's like eight episodes. Oh, like I said. Okay. You can't really take a book like the Institute and make it into a movie and make it good.

Yeah. So they, they turn it into an eight, it basically an eight hour movie. Yeah. So it's amazing. But it talks about precogs. It talks about telekinesis, um, telepice, um, telepest. all of those traits that you kind of get sprinkled in through all of other Stephen King's books like Hearts of Atlantis, Anthony Hoppins character is a precog. And so yeah.

Insomnia has a great connection of the dark. Yes. Yeah. Ah, you make a moment ago read all this shit again. I know, right? It's so good. They all connect. They do.

It's all connected. Let us now play mine. Okay. So I watched a documentary. that was very inspiring. I needed something inspiring, especially right now. I feel like there have been times

in my country of origin where you have moments where you can be proud. It's like, yeah, look at us pulling ourselves up and doing the right thing here. And then there are times where you don't. And right now we're kind of having a don't moment.

So I wanted to look back to 1980 and enjoy a time when things were kind of cool. It's also kind of pairs nicely with the recent Olympics that just ended and all that. So I'm going to play this documentary, and we'll talk about it on the other side. I'll play my clip. I realize now why it became so much bigger than just a hockey game.

We weren't superstars. We were the boy next door. Lunch pale, hard hat group of guys. To this day, it gives me chills. The American team, they were all amateurs. The feeling was these guys have no chance. He was going to be a runaway. That's a dominant disorder.

be a team watch. We needed a change. And Herb was a perfect person. Our approach to the game was going to be entirely different. We signed, buddy. Herbie kicked our ass. I trained harder than I've ever trained in my life. All right.

That is the... Heated rivalry. No. No. Oh, my God. That came up so many times this weekend. We saw my niece and she and Aunt Barb and everybody all talking about heated rivalry. I have not seen it yet.

I have no idea what I'm in for. I don't, I'm afraid of it. One of the actors is hosting S&L. Yeah, just hosted this last weekend. And the dudes showed up, right? The two dudes that are the other, the other dudes showed up, yeah. A couple of shores.

The one he has a heated rivalry with. Yeah. Yeah, heated rivalry. Well, anyway, what I watched is called Miracle, the Boys of 80. And this is the story or the documentary, documentary, about the story of the 1980 Olympic hockey team that beat the Russians and should not have, like there's just no way in hell they should have been able to form a team, the way they did that would compete against probably the greatest hockey players in the history of the world

at that time. Russia had just unbeatable people on their team, and they hadn't won or they hadn't lost a gold medal since like 1914 or something crazy, like some crazy record the Russians had. And so this story is all about the guys on the team, the coach of the team. You may have seen the movie with Russell Crow or not Russell Crow, Kurt Russell. Jeez. Kurt Russell was the coach, played the coach, Herb Brooks, I believe. And the team, I don't remember who all the actors were to play the team, but it's a very good telling of this story.

It's a dramatic telling of it, but it's quite good. anyway, this is really, really good. And some of my favorite bits are recollections from, like, Al Michaels, who was there calling the game. He's the one that said that, you know, do you believe in miracles, which is how everyone calls this game just a miracle. But the cool thing about it is it's all the players. It's everybody from the team, except the coach who died in 2003.

Herb Brooks passed away. But all these other guys like, let's see, they talked to his son, Danny Brooks, but like Craig Patrick, Dave Christian, Mark Johnson's same name as my brother. These guys are all in their late 60s pushing 70 in some cases, but they were just kids and they were just not supposed to win. And the documentary gets way, way, way deep into how they trained, how they made it work. It just about killed some of them.

It was so rigorous. But they ended up pulling it out in the end. And it was at a time where we kind of needed it. Gas prices are through the roof. had the hostages in Iran, ironically. We had, what do you call it? Energy shortages and recession, all these things going on. And these guys, in a way, single-handedly just upped everybody's attitude to go forward

and to figure shit out, right? Because, you know, they just were underdogs and everyone loves a good underdog story. Anyway, I really like this documentary and mostly I like it on the heels of these these are the dudes that played. So it's not some, you know, it's not just commentators going, oh, yeah,

the team, it's not like that. There is some of that. Al Michaels comes back and talks. This John Powers guy, is a Boston Globe reporter still is, I think,

who does sports coverage. So you're going to get some of that. But most of what this is, is the perspective of the players and what they, what they experienced, how they feel now. They feel most of it,

their interviews are mostly inside the stadium they played in to get that, that game one. cool. And a lot of people forget that game wasn't the end. They still had to play the fit. Was it the finish? No, the Danish somebody. Can't remember who. But they still had to play for the gold medal. They beat the Russians, which would have either put them out in the far third or beat them and then now you still have a chance. So a lot of people are like, oh, one and done. You won the thing. You moved on slow motion cut the credits. But they had to keep going to beat the. Uh, to beat the. beat this other team and I can't remember who it was. Anyway, I want to say finish, but I could be wrong. And they beat them in a pretty crazy game also that no one ever talks about that game. Anyway, it was awesome. Even if you're not an hockey fan, it's just a, these guys are great. And they're all old now and, you know, just have just wisdom and stuff to say. And maybe it was Finland.

I core. I'm not sure. I can't remember. Really good though. So go check this out. It's up on, where do I see it? Netflix? Yes. I saw. on Netflix. Oh, it's an actual Netflix documentary. It came out on the 30th of January. It kind of just snuck in. I didn't know about it until I just happened to see it. Hit play and really enjoyed myself. So if you are into that sort of thing at all, are you watching the Olympics? Well, they're over now. Is it over? Nobody's watching them now. I hope if they are, they got a slow DVR. That's right. Yes. But we watched a ton of it. Yeah. We watched some of the, we watched curling. That seemed to always be on when I would turn. It's funny. Everybody watched curling. Yeah.

Well, it's because it was controversial this year. It was. Well, we were watching it before the whole Sweden, Canada thing. Yes. The little touch. He did touch that stone. He did. But then there wasn't the whole thing that everybody did or something like that.

The end result was like they all do it sometimes or something. Just because everybody does it. I mean, I agree. It's still like against the rules. But I think they got away with it or something. I can't remember what it was. I think they did get away with it. Yes.

They were cussing at each other. It was so. White the thing. Canadians are nice, but they can swear, man. I'll tell you what. Well, all these will be up on quicktms.com. So you can track what we've seen. Nicole, anything going on on the wood whispering world we should tell people about?

I don't know. Mark's doing stuff. Oh, hey, spring's coming up. We have a guard. Mark took our old playground in the back that was kind of fallen part. He took all that lumber and turned it into a raised garden bed. We have a video for that. Oh, cool.

Like a raised garden bed. Head over to the Wood Whisperer. We got some free videos and plans there. Look at that. Look at that. Yeah. Using what he's already got mentality. I love that sort of thing.

Yeah. That's really cool. Repurposing. Very nice. Nicole, stay out of trouble. We'll see you next month for yet another recommendals. Bye. Bye. All right.

Guys, we did it. Or maybe later this month with the order that we do. Oh, good point. Very well could be. Yeah. Now that the weird short months out of the way, who knows what can happen. Who knows how it'll work. It's crazy. I'll tell you this, though. We're done for today. I'd like to mention our website. It's film sac, filmsac. Frogpants.com.com slash TMS. There's no film sack in it, although there is film sack in it, if you know what I'm saying. But anyway, frogpance.com slash TMS and Patreon.com slash TMSs. It's all the slash TMSes. And if you're looking for any info about submitting songs or requests or you want to check out anything that we do on the side. It's mostly linked there. If you see something you don't, or if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you,

don't see something you want to see, let me know, we'll put it up there. And I'm debating, I'm trying to side on quicktms.lI because I've upgraded the new format of the site, did some changes to kind of the layout and look and stuff. But I'm trying to decide like, all right, how much are people actually going there? So do me a favor. If you are a frequent visitor to quicktms.L.I, shoot me a damn in Discord. shoot me an email. If I get enough people who do check this thing out,

then I'll keep it going. I didn't put, it's such a throwaway site that I didn't put any Google analytics on it or anything. So I don't know if I can look at traffic. At the end of this, you may end up saying, this all could just be a spreadsheet.

And that's fine if we do that. Right. To make it easier for Brian and for anyone else who maybe has to have access to that thing. And you guys would still be able to see stuff, but go there. So we know.

People still want to see links to the movies we recommend. They still want to see links to the songs, that sort of thing. It's really easy to do posts. This new format, this new divvy update has made things really, really easy to maintain. But of course, I just need to teach ice worm how to do it. So anyway, if you, if you, and Lassarge just said, I just used it the other day. Okay, so if there are people who do use QuickTMS, that I'll keep it going.

But let me know. Should me a message somewhere. Let us know. today at 1 p.m. The Monday show, Carter and I, doing it, getting it together, making it happen. Father, daughter. It's going to be fun. Look for that.

Nice. Let's get out of here with this little music then. What do we got? Yeah, sounds like that. good. Let's go to Northeast Georgia. I don't know what's up there, but these guys are. A band called The Crash Years. This is kind of your indie at the end. This is not a cover. It's a brand new single from these guys called Afterlife, which is a, as they put it, a sweeping meditation on grief, faith, and hope. This is really cool. It's an indie alternative band from Northeast Georgia.

Here is the Crash Years. At the clock was ticking, but I always thought that I would have more time. Now I got a little with knowing something's missing for the rest of my life times I can feel your faith don't remember you and to tell you how many. You so cross my mind there's still exist in me
