The Kingdom of Prussia once had a military unit called the Potsdam Giants, which was composed entirely of men over six feet tall. They were treated more like prized collections than a combat unit and were often bred with tall women into an attempt to create giant offspring. Be good if I could read it.

Oh, that's just fine. The Morning Stream. It's a game. It's only a game. Hello, everybody. Welcome to TMS. This is the Morning Stream. For May 4th, it's Star Wars Day.

May it be with you, I guess. Yeah, I mean, whatever. I guess it's kind of the, if you can't beat them, join them, or at least if you can't beat them, just, I guess, ease up. Let it happen. Let it happen naturally.

Yes. I, you know what? I'll do this this year. Okay, I'll make a commitment. I'll let people have their dumb, they're dumb. We can pay the fourth be with you.

All right. Yeah. What do you ask in return? All I ask in return is that they at least acknowledge it makes it sound like they're lisping on purpose. Right. That's all.

Yes. And they're making fun of people with a list. Yeah. There you go. That's what I want them to do. Yeah. Just acknowledge that you're making fun of people with a lisp and then you're fine. Take responsibility for your bullshit behavior. Right. Right. And live that honest life. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. We're back. It's good to see you all. We're hoping you're all had a good time. We had, uh, did you want to, I don't know how much of that B story you wanted to share, but.

You know, I could just be really quick about it. pretty wild man it uh it still freaks me out and freaked me out that that nothing bad happened but uh was on the bike doing a training ride on Saturday Sunday I remember what day it was it was over the weekend and um would have been Saturday right because you told us

oh because I talked about on Sunday and it was the day before yeah so Saturday and as I'm uh as I'm riding I'm on a path over um off the off the street this is you know like this is where the path kind of diverges from the street, which I'm on for most of the ride. And then I get on the path, it goes through a nice little field of prairie dogs and stuff. And I'm looking down at my speedometer because I've looked up recently, did not see anybody, any obstacles or people or other bikes or anything to worry about, look down at my speedometer.

And as I'm looking down, I'm also noticing, oh, some shadows on the ground, bug shadows on the ground that are a lot of them. And I freaking swarm of mosquitoes. I hate driving or riding through a swarm of mosquitoes. And then I realized those shadows are a little bit too large to be mosquitoes. And it turned out to be bees, a swarm, a cloud of bees that took me several seconds to get through, several seconds of expletives and like rubbing, you know, like they're rickishing off my face and off my chest, off my arms and the ones that aren't rickishing are sticking to my face and my arms and my chest.

and I'm furiously brushing them off and try not to piss them off and anticipating, anticipating getting stung. It was a long few seconds. Yeah. It was a long few seconds. And it was an expletive filled few seconds. And amazingly came through that whole thing

and did not encounter any, did not get stung, basically. No stingens. Yeah. No stingens. And, I, I tell Tina this story and here and I probably shouldn't have because I'm trying to get Tina to come out and do some rides with me. I won't when I'm doing training rides solo, it all bets are off.

I'm going as hard and fast as I can. Giggedy and doing, you know, hills and stuff like that. But if Tina comes with me, then I want to take it easy and, you know, go at whatever pace she wants to set. And she's allergic to bees. And this kind of might have eliminated any rides with Tina this summer. Oh, my gosh. And plus it's kind of early for bees. Isn't it a little bit? I guess, yeah. I mean, we've had so much, so much heat that it's really screwed things up and made it so that the bees and, you know, budding trees and blossoming flowers and stuff are doing it early, which can only cause problems. And it's supposed to get down to 32 tonight overnight.

We're having the same weirdness. It's like, yeah, exactly. It was like hot and warm yesterday and then today it's supposed to be cool again. Yeah, exactly. Freaking May, man. He doesn't know what it wants to be, but, well, I'm glad you came through that without any. You may have got a little pollen on you or something, but no stings. That's good. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

So, um, Brian's been pollinated. I've been pollinated. You know, I left them alone for the most part. I brushed them off. I didn't like, like slap them against my arm and trying to kill them or anything. And, um, maybe that was the, maybe that was, uh, uh, uh, uh, the, what, you know, what kept them on my side and kept them, maybe they were just as like, oh, crap, sorry, dude.

Oh, sorry, we didn't mean to be hanging out with the bike path. Totally. Yeah. And that's the other thing is there's a lot of the story we don't know. Like, where's the hive? Why were they there? Right. Is it a migration thing?

Where is the queen? Yeah. Where is the queen? She's somewhere rooting them on for all I know. Exactly. But that's a path that I like going on. And I know there's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, a really slim possibility that they'll still be there the next time I go on that path,

but we'll see. Yeah. And you're right about, I mean, if you're allergic to him, it's not worth their risk, I guess. God,

no, definitely not. Yeah. I had a friend who, like, it was bad. If you got stung, it was like all,

everyone stop what you're doing, get your epipen, freak out, call the 911s and the whatnots. And I guess there's varying degrees of how allergic you are or how severe your reaction. Right. Right. Right.

Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Well, that's fun. How'd your trivia tournament go? Yeah, so Saturday night, we had a trivia tournament. This is separate from the Jeopardy Bar League that we've been doing. This is just your standard Geeks Who Drink,

eight rounds, eight questions in each round, trivia tournament. Like 30-something teams there that night. Jeez, that's a lot. Yeah, and this was like, you remember when I'd use, like I'd go somewhere for a big trivia tournament, like Seattle, we went one year, Chicago. You're a

a bunch of tadpullers up there. They haven't done it since the Chicago one. They kind of went too crazy. That was the year they had they might be giants playing.

They had this massive ballroom at the end of Navy Pier. And there were problems that they had paying out the winners. Oh. You know, $10 or $12,000

you know, for the top team and the next one like something close to that, eight, five or six thousand or whatever. We didn't make the stage that year. We weren't in the top three that year, but. They overspent their budget, though, eh? They overspent their budget, and they just didn't,

I don't know what happened because that ballroom was full. So I don't know how they could have sold all those tickets, and then all of a sudden not had enough to pay for the winners. But they hadn't done anything since then, and that was, that was, oh, that was right before the pandemic, like a month before, Everything got locked down. So February or March 2020.

Yeah, I remember talking about it. Something came up about it then. And nothing since then until this one, they said, well, we're going to start out kind of easy. This is still going to be a cash, a big cash prize winning game. But we're going to do it locally. Geeks Who Drink started in Colorado 20 years ago. And so this was their 20th anniversary deal. Nice.

They're going to maybe go and do one in Austin, one in Seattle. later this year. So we get in there and the place is freaking packed. There is one little tiny table left. Six of us kind of seated around this basically four top table. And first round comes, we ace it. Completely ace it. Second round comes, music round.

It's all the quiz masters from all the different locations around Colorado coming in and doing a karaoke song, including drag, Queen Dusty Oak Hunt. Oak Hunt. So oak like the tree. And then hunting for like foxes or deer or something. Yes. Dusty oak hunt. Truly unfortunate for him. I know. What a horrible name to get saddled with, unfortunately. Yes.

But they're all doing their songs and there's trivia questions about the song. Sometimes you have to name the song. But in the case of like Riddle Yankevick they played or somebody sang one more. minute and you had to identify the artist and then the album that was released on and we remember that that was on Dare to Be Stupid. Got that one right. Nicely done. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the question, somebody did Apaté with, you know, Roseé and Bruno Mars. The question wasn't who's saying it.

The question was, what band did Rosee come from and what boxer influenced Bruno Mars' name? and it was Bruno Samartino San Martino I don't know who that is I never even heard that didn't know

but fortunately we have some sports people on our team who knew that one and of course I knew

black pink that was easy sure anyway what ace the second round third round

missed a couple yeah fourth round aced it like we but we were always in the lead

like with three two or three points between us and second place oh pro wrestler see there we go That's how much I know.

Not a boxer, but a pro wrestler. Oh. Bruce Samertino. No idea. Yeah. Still didn't retain. You didn't have a cool enough name to be a wrestler. You got to be something cool.

Like, I don't know, John Cena gets to be John Cena. But other people are like The Rock and, you know, the Undertaker. Easy to remember. Bruce Samertino. Come on. Come here. Let's wrestle Bruce. That's lame.

Great. Hey, listen, Bruce Sammartino. I'm coming for you. He doesn't quite have the same. I'm coming for you in your legal name. Exactly. And your birth certificate, brother. Yeah.

Anyway, we get to round eight. We're still in the lead. Three points in the lead. We get to the last set of questions. And we aced it. And we won. I just trying to build up some suspense. We won, took first place, and 500 bucks.

Nice. Between our six members. What is that? What is the six split on that? It's like an 83, three, three, three, three, three repeating kind of thing. Still decent cash. That's good money. Oh, hell, yes, decent cash.

And because I was the dude who organized getting everybody together, they just said, all right, well, let's make it 100 for Brian, 80 for everybody else for the other five. And then we didn't have to break any change because they only give us 20s. Right. So, yeah, made up for all the crap we've been dealing with with Jeopardy Bar League and how we get right up to the precipice and then manage to still lose the game in the final wager or, get the question wrong or something like that. Were you able to get a glimpse of who you knocked out of first place and just see how they were doing after the loss?

Oh, we never lost. We were never out of first place. We stayed in first place. The first round, we were tied in first place with 11 other teams. And then once we broke away in like round two or three, we stayed in first place throughout the whole rest of the game. So we saw our competition. You were never like Daniel across the room

and like getting a nod from the other. Like, you know, shooting daggers. Yeah. We could tell who, we could tell the teams that were our, you know, second and third place competitors, the ones that were just two or three points behind us. And, you know, we kind of watch to see what answers they'd cheer for. Like, oh, darn it, they got, they got Edgar Rice Burroughs, crap.

Yeah. Yeah. So. That's cool. Congratulations to you and the team. The great, the big, the big hero six, we call them. That's right. Yep.

We pulled it off, guys. We did. We did indeed. Well, I won the lottery a little bit here in that my wife naturally came home the day she was supposed to. Oh, guys. That was yesterday. So, actually. Oh, I bet that's got to be, that's got to make you happen.

Oh, it was so good. So we are already out. The goal was yesterday we were going to go to the zoo with the Littles. And then it was, we were mostly going because it was Carter's birthday this last week. And so we thought, well, it would be fun. fun everybody go hang out and maybe we'll have dinner or whatever yeah so nick and tay and the kids and everybody shows up and we went to the zoo and the zoo is fine had a great time it's just you know this time of year feel like half the animals are just sleeping yeah it's just right nobody's up moving

around so you're just kind of there to look through glass and wonder where shit is it's kind of dumb but we have these passes and may as well use them so anyway we're at the zoo and it's fine kim calls i'm in this She took an Uber from the airport to the zoo because there's a really short jump. Yeah. So I didn't have to go to the airport. We were gun to, but then the way it worked out, it was like,

well, I'll just come there. And I'm like, well, all right. And then I'll meet you out front. So anyway, she gets there right around the time we finish up at the zoo.

And everybody says, well, we're hungry. Where do you guys want to eat? We decided to eat at this place called Marias. This is a Mexican place. My daughter likes. We're like,

sweet, let's go there. It's right in the middle of town. We're pretty close to it. So we go to Marias. and we're all sitting around there. Great atmosphere. Incredible service. Everybody's got a thick accent.

You can tell it's legit, like legit Mexican food. Real good stuff. Having a great time. But then I start to notice some things. Looking around, I'm like, that's weird.

What is this? These musical notes, like, like mariachi notes, are printed on the wall. Okay. Like, like,

Mariachi notes. I mean, it just kind of has that vibe because there's other stuff around it. Staff, Like it's notes on a staff kind of thing. Yeah, and it's all like swirly, and there's like an old,

old Spanish guitar there. Okay. It's just the colors and everything. So the whole thing's very evocative of like, you know, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, or whatever. Probably racist. But anyway, the point is this thing,

there's like this big thing. And I thought was painted on there, but it was actually a decal. And then a closer inspection, I'm like, what's going on with these notes? Because the first ones are fine and they kind of, and I don't read music, so I don't even know if it's a song,

but. Yeah. The notes are like they pair down into this little point kind of dissipate. But as it gets close to the point, these symbols are just not. They look like Klingon. Oh, really? They're like, stop looking like notes. Yeah, they went from looking like notes to looking like Klingon stuff in this.

You know how the Klingon ships? All their buttons have weird labels. Yeah, those weird, like it's a weird angled line with a dot above it or something. Yeah, just complete nonsense. Although I suppose they have a dictionary now. It's not nonsense. I mean, it's a made-up language. But still, it looked like that.

And I went, I think those are like AI generated. And start looking around. And sure enough, they're all weird as they get smaller. The detail gets lost and they just kind of fart out. It has kind of like a broken machine quality to it. And then I start looking around at other stuff. And they've got murals, their menus, a giant banner in the back. Everything has got the most AI sloppy slop you've ever seen.

Just terrible stuff. Like not even like You could convince your mom that it's not AI stuff I was like what are we doing here This is a picture of Jose Cuervo with 18 fingers Or something like that And yeah Like there's a couple of things where

There's a very pretty I don't know What would you call this the ladies On the bottle of Chalula Like the The like the dancing ladies The They have the frat

Yeah the really frilly dress Yeah, whatever that's called. The emoji of the dancing lady, whatever that is. Yeah, I don't know if there's a name for that look, but there's like two of them running to a field. Carmen Miranda, basically. Yeah, there's a couple of them running through a field in this one little mural thing and they're holding hands. And I get up close and the hands are fused into a ball of flesh. It's the ball of flesh.

Flamenco dancers. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Jones. Yes. That's it. Yeah, Mr. Jones says it's a flamenco dancers. And he, you know, he'd know, he dances while as a father plays. Sure.

She dances while his father plays. But it was, uh, the food was great. I just think somebody, they have like three locations now and they're like this some family own thing. And I, and I think what's going on is there's somebody in the ownership, like in the family, like the dad or something. And he's just super into, just low, yeah. Like super into mid journey.

Like he's like, I've got our plan. We're going to redecorate the whole place and I've got, we're not going to pay any artists to do this. we're going to just have this done. Yeah, I think that's what he did. So is it weirder than that thing that I just put in our TMS chat that the hand-painted on the back of a chair, weird character from Sabado Domingo.

I love that. I mean, we've said it before, but this is an amazing photo. It's so amazing. At least you can tell this was drawn by somebody. You know what I mean? Yes, exactly. But it's just funny that, you know, like that ear is so freaking weird and that hand, that arm

is like bizarre. Yeah, it's bizarre. The air looks like it's from someone else's head. Right, like he was cut in face from someplace else. Yeah. So it was... They were probably really proud of that face and that mouth and stuff, but then they just stopped right there. Yeah, I would have been this sort of thing would have been better.

Because all of it, as I started to sort of take it all in, I was like, I feel like I'm in a team, a Timu front office shop or something like a... It just made everything seem cheap suddenly. I didn't like it, but you do what you can do. Yeah, I guess. Anyway, so Kim's home, life is better as a result.

Although we have so much to do that no one's stopping to take a moment and smell the roses. We have to just keep moving. But I did want to take this opportunity to remind people that the TMS 3,000 plus mug, a 3,000 episode plus mug is now available and able to complete your set. If you've been collecting the mugs each time we hit an episode milestone, this is the latest in that. It might be the last because where do you go from here? I mean, nobody.

Well, I mean, you know. We're going to have to wait another thousand episodes before it's significant. Exactly. 3,500 is not a thing that gets celebrated. No, not at all. But if you want in, now's the time. These are limited availability. These are not going to be forever pieces.

So if you want this or the back says this is about the jugs of P. The front says TMS, the morning stream 3,000 plus established 2011. There's a picture of me with a mock up of one. There they are. It's for you to get hop over now. and pay the low, low price and get yours today. We're in the pre-order phase, and they're not going to last long, so get in there today. Nope, get in there and get them.

All right. It is now time for a little bit of this business right here, if I can find the thing. There it is. Time for us to play a little bit of a game, and we play it with our friend Brian Dunaway. Hello, Brian Dunaway. What are you doing? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. It's good to see you.

Good to have you. Brian, hello. Hey, what's going on? You have an indecent Monday so far? Yeah, I can't complain. Let's see. I'm awake and alive and, hey, can you ask for much more than that? I don't think you can ask for any more than that.

I'd say I'm 80% pain free right now, which is, you know, that's not bad. Oh, that's good. And the, and the, what do you call it? Are they treating you well? the um uh the what's it called your allergies that you have that are terrible yeah you have the allergy to have their work at the box factory is it going all right is that all right that going okay it's going good it's going good excellent well uh it's very nice to see you uh for some reason the game is not letting me do two windows oh oh i don't know i don't know why i wouldn't let you do

two windows i did notice that it booted you out though it's got my lock in my answers page but i don't have the one to show the stream. Oh, really? I'll refresh it. Oh, error has occurred while processing your request. Oh, no. Shit.

I can try recent. Do another refresh and see what happens. Okay, all right. Let's give it a shot. That doesn't work, and I can try reset in the game and see. This game is full right now. Okay, I'm going to reset game.

All right. Oh, man. So, Brian, you're going to have to rejoin as well. Yeah, you, You get out. My morning was going pretty good. Get out! Okay, now you should be able to rejoin.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was almost going to do Planet of the Apes. Is that not crazy? I mean, every... Get your hands off me. I think he was going to be an ape. I don't know. But isn't that, doesn't every movie have trivia that says Arnold was up for the role? I hate that about IMBD.

It drives me crazy. All right, we're now working. Brian, you're going to explain the rules, and we're going to play a game. for some people and win some prizes. Wee. Yes, welcome to the morning half-asses a trivia game. We're actually going to be giving you the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brandon category and six

possible answers, three of which are correct. And three, like, you're riding your bike through a swarm of bees is incorrect, depending on how confident you feel the category can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if any of those guesses are wrong, I'm not going to give you anything. I'm not going to be nice and give you a point if you get them all wrong.

You're just going to get zero, and you're going to have to live with it. If you get one right, though, I'm going to give you a point. That's nice to me. I'll go even nicer if you get two right. I'm going to give you three points. And because I'm really nice if you get three right, I'm going to give you five points. Good Lord.

That's crazy. I know. I know. It's the new math. We're going to add up all those points at the end of the game. The winner of you two is not going to get anything, but you're going to be winning prizes for your contestant, who we've pulled from the members of the tad pool that support us over there at patreon.com slash TMS.

Scott, you're playing for Sean White. Nice. Famous A famous snowboarder. Yeah. He stepped off his snowboard long enough to submit to subscribe to TMS on Patreon. Sure. And Brian, you're playing for Steve Throm.

Ooh. That's a really cool name. All praise to Lord Fromm. Love it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Cool. All right.

Let's get to this. We'll talk about what the prizes are afterwards. Let's get to the first question here. I've got the first question. to my hand. There we go. Just waiting. It pulled you out again, Scott. That's son of a bottle. What did you do, Scott? It's the screen you're sharing doesn't even show you.

Oh, it says I'm not in. How am I looking at it then? You must obviously have two windows open. Just like the system says. Something's up with it because it disconnected you before when I had to do a reload. And if I don't do anything for a little while, it says, okay, I'll reload. And then it reloaded and then it dropped you again. I'll get out and get in. Let's see if that solves it.

Scoop Jorgensen can enter the game. There you go. All right, cool. I see you. I don't know why that changed at all. I don't know why either. All right, if you're ready. No, why.

I'm ready. Your first question is Nobel Peace Prize winners. Which of these people actually really did win a Nobel Peace Prize and did not have one given to them by another country? Anwar Sadat, Corazon Akino, Mahatma Gandhi, Lech Walesa, Winston-Curice, Winston-Gur. Churchill and Woodrow Wilson. Three of these people actually got Nobel Peace Prizes the right way. I'm picking

two because one of these feels like bait. They all feel like bait. There's a couple baity ones. I know which one you think feels like bait. Yeah. Let's just say... Which one? Well, let's just say you'll never see him coming.

That's a weird way. Wouldn't that be great if that really was a lie? I know. I would live watch gone any more often. For sure, yes. Oh, I just gave it away. I guess it.

Oops. I think you gave it away when you did the... Probably. I don't know. That was supposed to be obscure, but it didn't really work. Brian, you're going to choose something to lock in? I don't know. Have you threatened me with a countdown? Is that what I need to do?

Do I need to show you the belt before you'll actually listen to what I say? The switch. All right, fine. There we go. All right. It's good deal. All right. Well, Mahatma Gandhi. Let's just get it out of the way. Mahatma Gandhi never got a nobody. Never got one. No.

You don't get a peace prize. If you starve yourself, what's matter with you? Yeah. That's not peaceful. Exactly. That's just saving money at the country buffet. Scott, you chose Anwar Sadat. Sure did. Anwar Sadat. What do you know about Sadat? Very little.

He was instrumental in. Egyptian Israeli peace talk stuff. I don't know. Well done. You successfully connected the Sadat's. Yes, he won in 1978. Oh, well, all right then. Yes.

I thought he was assassinated later. Right? Anyway. Was he? I think so. I don't remember if he got assassinated. But Brian, you chose at the very last second. He chose Woodrow Wilson.

Woody, we call him. Woody. Yeah, good old Woody Wilson. He won in 1919. So far, each of you doing very well. There was only one that I wasn't sure about, and I was like, I can't remember. Feels like he would have got this, but I didn't know. Was that Mahatma Gandhi?

Yeah, Mahatma, no, no, I knew that was bait. That felt, yeah. Super baity, baby, bait, right. The last one you chose, both of you chose, Winston Churchill. Churchy. We have nothing to fear, but I didn't say this comment. He didn't say that. His big thing was, uh,

Oh, man, World War II leadership in the UK. It was a big deal. It was his, uh, oh, Scott, it just booted you out again. It did. Oh, well. Oh, yeah. It's also throwing me in air here that says I can open audience window for stream, but, but I already am. Negative points for Johnson.

Oh, now it's giving me nothing. I don't know why it's doing that. I have no idea. I'm not doing anything. Nothing abnormal. Something, we had let Al-Kabobob know something's boring. I think something's a little borked on here. All right.

Well, we'll see what happens. It doesn't matter because Winston Churchill did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize. It's weird. I'm still seeing the results. Well, let's see if you're able, when I go on a question two, let's see how you're able to do. Question two? No. Doesn't let me.

I can see him, but it doesn't let me. I'm going to refresh again and just, oh, there's the air again. Let's see. Okay. Kind of weird development. Restart the app. And then I go in here and go. Restart the app.

Here we hit play. Okay. Okay. It seems to be in. Yep, but I see you in. All right, good. I don't see audience, but maybe I can make that work. Okay.

All it gives me is the, is the, yeah, the player window. Yeah. All right. Well, Brian promises not to look at your screen on the stream. All right. Fair point. Oh, yeah. I mean, we'll make the promise for you and then you'll keep it.

Yeah, you'll just have to keep the promise that we make for it. you. The question is animals in the titles of Beatles songs. Which of these animals will you find in the title of songs by the Beatles? Bluebird, monkey, pony, ram, bulldog, rabbit. Three of these are in the titles of...

One of those makes me laugh. Yeah? Which one? Monkey. I can't tell you that. I can't tell you. Ooh, we like that one? Don't look at the screen. I'm not looking at the screen. I'm just teasing. I know you're not. I know you're not. No, you're not. You never do. You're a good boy. All right.

You're a good boy. Do I need to get the switch? Brian, you're good boy. Do I need to get the switch? Mm-hmm. M-hmm. All right. I'm starting. There we go. I'm in. All right. Perfect timing. I'm just trying to see how mad I can make dad. Well, once again, you guys chose one together and then each chose.

one individually, yes. All right. So let's start with the one you chose together. Anybody who has the animated yellow submarine album knows, Hey, Bulldog, is a Beatles song. Hey, Bulldog. That was the one I knew. I wasn't totally sure on that one.

That's right. Ram was in there as a fake out because Paul McCartney hit one of his first albums after the Beatles with Linda McCartney. Yeah, but funny enough, you typing, you putting that word in there this time, just typing it costs double what it used to cost to type the word. That's an expensive ram to choose. Very expensive. Let's see. Brian, you chose pony.

Yeah. Do you know the song title? Monkey, uh, look at my pony. No, that's not. It's close. It's, uh, look at my pony there. Something, something, something in the hair. Pony, pony, pony, pony.

Right? That's it. Pony, pony, pony, pony. Pony, pony. The song is, I dig a pony. And it is by the people. I dig a pony. Yeah.

Nice job. That was it. That was an absolute guess. Bulldog. That one I knew the pony guess. Monkey felt like bait. I'm glad to, yeah. Well, you know which one was bait?

Which one is that? Pony. Bluebird. Unfortunately, yeah, I'm a bluebird was Paul McCartney solo on Band on the Run. I'm a blue bird, I'm a bluebird. Blackbird might have been the song you were thinking of. Oh, I'm thinking of Blackbird! Yep.

Monkey, as in everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey. Oh, my gosh. Bulldog, monkey, and pony. Blackbird in the dead of night. That's what I'm thinking of. That's exactly the one. Did the Beatles hate the monkeys? Did they?

Or they even notice them? No, they actually... They didn't even notice them. They were indifferent to the monkeys. Everybody thought there was a big Beatles' Rolling Stones feud, and there wasn't that either. like the Beatles and the Stones actually really liked each other. And I think that they were, they didn't. There's no need for that even.

Like there can exist. Both bands. Yes, exactly. Both bands can exist. It did you out again. Did it? Oh, man. I don't know.

So I wonder, the good news is we don't have to worry about it keeping your points. Well, let's see here. Let's try to get in again. There we go. All right. Showing you back in. It's not letting me choose anything, though. Well, do the new page.

Yeah. Question number three, golf slang. Let's just get right to it. Which of these are golf slang terms. Your choices are shrimp, donkey, albatross, ferret, possum, and pelican. Which of these are not in Beatles titles, but are terms. Shrimp donkey. Terms in golf.

Donkey in the dead of night. You know what, dude, this is a hard one. I've never heard any of this. You were hoping for eagle and birdie and stuff like that. But I'm not going to give you those. That's too easy. I don't want to get a donkey in golf. That sounds awful.

All right. This is such a pure guesswork on my part this time. Oh my gosh. I just don't know. All right. I'm just going to choose ones that look right. Brian's locked in. Scott is locked in.

I meant to tease the timer. Damn it. Tees the timer. Because Nicole is already like fuming. Oh, as you guys started, I assume nobody was after me. I thought it was smart.

No, no. It's just us talking. And she's not really fuming you. I'm kidding. No. She's far. You guys both settled on. Possum.

What do you think a possum is in golf? If you land it in the tree or it lands somewhere slow or it lands somewhere slow or something. Or like a dead drop maybe. Yeah, a dead drop. When you get it up on, wedge it onto the green and it just stops and plays dead. Yeah, very good. That's not at all what it is. Yeah, Possum is not a term.

Just get ready to it. Shrimp, ferret, and albatross. Albatross is probably the most common of these. No, albatross is three under par. So if you get a five par and two shots, you're freaking amazing. And it's called an albatross. You get it's a birdie eagle, double eagle albatross or something. I thought it sounded, well, now that you say it, you tie it with the birdie thing, it makes sense to me.

You know, you go keep moving with birds. But in my head I see it as a negative, like albatross around your neck. Right, like around your neck. Like it's, you know, dragging you down. shrimp is a nasty hook. Yeah, it is. Right? It's the shape of a shrimp.

Yeah, it makes sense. And ferret is when you get it in the hole from outside the green. So if you... I knew somebody was going to go there. Yes, if you're able to pitch it onto the green and get it in the hole, it's called a ferret. So that's a ferret. If you have a... Okay.

All right. And donkey was not one, right? Yeah. Donkey, Possum, and Pelican were all fake terms. Yeah, well, we're doing great so far. Almost doesn't matter that the thing keeps kicking me out. Exactly, because Brian wins. Congratulations to Brian and by proxy, Steve Throm.

Dude, Throm deserves all the glory. It does, because it's such a great name. Steve, you're getting Chance of Cennar and Hard West 2. Holy shit. These are good wins. I've played both of these games. of Sinar is a moderately difficult but very satisfying kind of top-down puzzle game with the weirdest art style. It's so cool. And Hard West 2 is like

like a like XCOM meets Western setting, but there's like a whole there's like a whole metaphysical like magic element to it. It's so good. Those are both underrated and awesome. He's getting some killer games there. Very cool. Well, Sean White's not, you know, not going to weigh empty-handed either. He's getting a copy of Planet of Lana. Also, my favorite character from Threes Company. Remember when Lana would come to visit

the over-sexed cougar that had a thing for Jack, but not for Larry? She's probably, if we went back and looked, she's probably like 31. Yes, right, exactly. Lana would be too young for us right now, which feels weird.

The only problem with Planet of Lana is that it's so good, you're going to want to go right to Planet of Lana too, which just came out like this year. So excellent game also. So very good games. And if you're hearing me tell you about these games, make sure to get them.

You've got about a year to register all of them when you get them. So make sure to get them added to your library, ASAP, once you get these codes. Or like, Brian, just wait until the timer almost runs out. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, that's my life. That's a year timer, however many seconds that is. It's your life too, Brian, apparently. Well, yeah, so there you go.

This is great. I'll get these Tia and your PMs over there on the Patreon. I knew there's another P in there. Uh-huh. Another P. Yeah, and that'll be today. So watch for those. And congratulations all. Brian Dunaway, we will not see you in again until Wednesday on this show.

However, tomorrow night, you and I will be doing a watch retro. I thought we was doing it Wednesday. Oh, yeah, we did talk about doing that. I actually have to talk to you because I'm trying to work. The problem with the Tuesday Wednesday thing is the kids are now in soccer and I'm trying to get to their games. So there's, anyway, we'll talk off air, but we'll make it work. Either way, look forward to play retro and watch. retro content this week.

It'll be tickling right at your chode. Okay? Oh, my. Uh-huh. Don't scratch it. Yep. And kiss our butts. Bye now. All right. There he goes.

Guys. Hey, guys. G gamers, we've heard you. It's time for us to do this. If I can find it. Well, what do you recommend? Yes. Sorry, I can't find that. There's the volume. Hey, look who it is.

Our old pal Nicole. She's actually in the room as a few Nicole. I'm not kidding. I thought it was funny. You guys said that. Or it actually says fuming Nicole, I believe. Fuming. Yeah, sure.

Fumbing. I like it. I like it a lot. We're seconds away from Patrick Warbutton or something like that. Hey. It's good to see you. How the heck are you? You have a good week?

I guess we just started. No one knows what they're weeks like yet because we just got going. Well, you know, it's been three weeks since I've talked to you. Has it been, really? Wow. We do this every three weeks. I know, but why does it seem like it was yesterday? It feels like you were just here.

I don't like it. I don't like that feeling. Well, you should have me on more. Oh, is that the answer? Should we? I'm trying to figure out a way to slow time down. I don't think it's going to happen. Anyway, hey, it's time for recommendals, everybody.

Stuff we've seen on streaming services that we think you at home might enjoy as well. We have a grand tradition here when Nicole comes on to have Brian begin with his. and we're going to do that today Brian any set up before I play your clip? This is a film and I think the only voice you're going to recognize in this clip is

oh is our Madam Webb basically and I'll let you play the clip Alright here we go I read a book It was an article Whatever We're open Are you guys fucking with me right now?

Oops We are not monogamous He can do what he wants and I don't want to know about it, unless I do want to know about it, in which case I would ask, and he would tell me everything. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it's not like we're dating other people. It's not polyamory, we're not reinventing the wheel. I don't have another family with like another fish tank. This is blowing my mind. We're just realistic, you know. We love each other, and that love is physical and emotional and spiritual, and the emotional and the spiritual are more important.

important. So we're a little bit more flexible with the physical. You're very flexible with the physical. I do Pilates. Very spicy this morning. It is very spicy. He always talks like she's having sex with your ears. Yeah, yeah. Which is what makes this movie so fictional is the fact that somebody would say, ah, yeah, I'm married to Dakota Johnson. Sure, let's be open in our marriage. It's like, no, you lock that down.

down. This is a movie called Splitsville. I didn't watch it just because of the vill at the end, but it didn't hurt. And it's directed by one of the guys you heard in that clip, Dakota Johnson's husband in that clip, Michael Angelo Covino, which again, let's see, I'm going to make a movie. And in that movie, I'm going to make Dakota Johnson my wife. Okay, fun. Yeah, this guy's really designing his own destiny here. Exactly, yes. But he, but it does great job this is a comedy film that came out last year um the other verse you heard there is kyle marvin who plays the uh the other um uh guy in this this friendship he's got a friendship with the husband um he and his girlfriend are uh on their way to spend the weekend with him at

their beautiful beach house but on the way the the girlfriend decides you know what i know it isn't that the greatest i'm db picture ever i don't know what's going on with car um car car m marvel but i'll have somebody he's having my gosh exactly yes geez louises uh on the way there the girlfriend says you know i want to break up and uh and so he goes there alone

and um and and you know as as revealed in the trailer does end up sleeping with the wife of the open marriage couple and then hilarity ensues and i'm not actually i'm not kidding about the hilarity this is one of the funniest movies

um laugh out loud funny movies. I've seen in a while. Hoppers made me laugh out loud at quite a few places. This one also made me laugh out loud. What's the other one? Oh, over your dead body with Jason Siegel. We're seeing all these weird marriage movies lately. Did that one, not to change gears or anything, but the one with Jason Stegel, was it like frustrating couple fighting? Do you know what I mean? Yes, it is not. No. Not like Boar the Roses kind of stuff. War the Roses is very frustrating couple fighting. Over your dead body is not because it's done in a very comedic style that doesn't make you,

it doesn't make you side with either person or feel bad when somebody says or does something that hurts. Yeah. That's good to know because I hate the former. I enjoy the latter. Yeah. I think I'll be good with that one. But back to Splitsville, which is on Hulu. Here's why I want you to watch it.

There is a visual gag that takes place in an amusement park that is the funniest thing I've seen in the last several years. Several years. Holy shit. The absolute funniest bit in a movie that I've seen in, in, I'm trying to remember the last hilarious, like the last thing that made me laugh as hard as I did during this thing that takes place in an amusement park. Wow. All right then. So there. I will warn you also, there is some full frontal nudity, and it's not Dakota Johnson.

Oh, that's a shit. I know. It's her dad. Don Johnson comes out with his wiener out. No. Exactly. It's not. No.

But there is some full frontal. There's also Greg from Succession as a mentalist comes in and is. No way. I'm trying to remember the actor name, but he is so freaking funny. in this as well. Let's see. Nicholas Braun. Nicholas Braun is your, yeah.

Yeah, I like him. He's great. He's, he's of everybody. I feel like he's going to be the person we see a lot of stuff from soon. Oh, a little shared connection

with my recommendal today, which I'll get to you later, but the dude, the dude who played in Handmaid's Tale played the husband, the original husband. before

Gilead happens Oh, before that guy. Yeah. Fred, before all that, yeah. Before she gets taken,

the actual real husband, the one she loves and cares about back home, that dude's in it. His name is O.T. Oh, O.T. Fair.

Yeah. You know what? I really want to say that name. I don't know how. How is that pronounced? F.A.G. B. B.

You know, I'm going to say phage menel. That's what I'm going to say. Phage men, yes. Yeah, anyway, he's great. That's a good actor. I like him. Anyway. Anyway, Splitsville, it's on Hulu, and it is absolutely worth watching.

I think it's got pretty good rotten tomatoes, too. I switched off of it to go look at this guy's name to see if I could get a pronunciation guide. But I couldn't. It's doing okay on IMDB for IMDB scores. They're always low. You know, they're never high, high. but let's see. Oh yeah.

Splitsville's doing, why isn't that coming up? There it is. 84% Pretty good. On Rotten Tomatoes. That's a rare. You never see an exact match.

You never see that close. Yes, exactly. So there you go. Splitsville on Hulu. Go watch it. All right. There you go. Nicole Spagnolo.

You're right here. You're here now. I'm here. Right here. I'm excited to hear about yours because it's the thing I've been putting off watching. so please tell us a little more about your clip before we play it. Oh, well, I don't know. It was kind of one of those things.

I didn't know what came out. And then when we realized it came out, we were like, why didn't we watch that? And I think a lot of people missed it or. Or put it off like Scott. Or put it off. You know, we were talking about it because I think it's, you know, it's not a, I mean, what's a sequel?

It's a predecessor didn't do any. Yeah. Its predecessor didn't do it any favors. Exactly. So it is a beloved character. I know you guys are going to know it as soon as it plays. It's a little disturbing in the beginning because there's a lot of like AI, CGI stuff going on.

But it doesn't last long. I think it's just regular. It's a whole different. It's deep fake technology. is different than the end of stuff. So it's not. It's all kind of. I kind of lumped all together.

I had personally, I thought they did a really good job with the deaging, but it's all right. I just, the problem is I know reality. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. And it's like,

I'm like, this is weird. That's the problem every time I get used. It doesn't matter how good it is. You'll have the uncanny valley simply because you are knowledgeable about who that person is and where they are in their life. So I have the same problem. I can't do.

even when it's extremely well done, I thought they did that amazing job with Kurt Russell in Avengers 2. Sorry, Guardians 2. Guardians 2, yeah. And when he's driving around young, it was like, that's crazy. Yeah.

But then my brain's like, well. White Russell, you know. That's what they actually probably should have done that, right? Yeah, yeah. Just because it would have. If you got Wyatt Russell, you should use him for any young Kurt Russell things. Yeah.

And when they're together. Like Monarch is already doing. Yeah. It feels weird when they're together. Same way with Luke Skywalker. You know, when they revealed him, I was like, oh, that looks good. Yeah. But I don't know.

That didn't really affect me as much as the beginning of this movie. That said, I really enjoyed the movie. We started watching from the beginning, and we just kind of got in a float. We skipped over the movie in question. Yeah. Yeah. As one should, yes. Yeah.

It didn't happen. So I'm here to tell you all it is worth the watch. It's on Disney Plus. Well, let's give it a play. What if you could go back in time? What would you do? Witness the Trojan War? Check in on Cleopatra.

I'd stop my son from enlisting. Did he sign up to please you? No, he signed up to piss me off. How would you have stopped him? I told him he was going to die. I tell him that his mother would find no end to her grief and that his father would be helpless to console her and that the loss would put an end to their marriage.

So that was the least action he's seen I could find. It certainly was, yeah. Yeah. But it's a sad. It was obviously kind of sad. He's shrinking on Apple TV. You know what, though? I got to say this about Harrison Ford in his current mode.

Like he's in his 80s now, what is he, 81? or something. He's, it's incredible that he works at all. Like all of that stuff's neat and everything. But he's able to tap into some emotional stuff at this stage of his career that I've never seen him do prior to this. Yeah. Yeah. That's so good.

He's really good. I mean, the stuff he did, he was one of the, the bright points of the, the newer Star Wars trilogy. He's, he is a legend on freaking shrinking. He's so good on there. And the newest season is so good with him. Oh, my God. the direction that the final season or they got one more in them it sure feels like the final season we just finished watching it and i did feel like the final season yeah yeah i'm gonna lick it up actually right now now that you bring it up because i was curious about that i forgot i can't remember i've never cried and laughed so much in a show than shrinking yeah and honestly i'm wondering if that helped me watch indiana jones that's what this is this is the oh yeah the movie indiana jones and the shit on luck dot com

Yeah. Get out of luck.com. What is it the dial? Dial of destiny. Dial of destiny. Yes. Stupid name. But.

Yes. And guess what, folks? No aliens. Nope. Not one. Time travel, though. But here's the thing. I was thinking about that.

I mean, Crystal skull was not good. That's generous. About the nicest thing you can say. Yeah, that's the most generous thing I've ever heard. but if you think about because I mean I watched we watched all of the Indiana Jones except Crystal Skull before we watched the Dial of Destiny and there's always a supernatural theme going on I mean the lost arc is all supernatural yeah there's something about there's something about

religious relic type history stuff that works better than aliens because aliens I don't know. I just don't mix the two. So when they do... Aliens just feels like too much of a cop-out, right? It's like, oh, the wonders of something here on Earth that he has to go and find and uncover, and it does have these weird cool powers. But it's like, ah, dropped a bunch of skulls from the sky.

Woo-hoo! And part of the reason I think one... The reason one and three works so well, I think, for most people, those are their favorites of the series. Yeah. Is because one, Ark of the Covenant, mysterious, religious artifact, what if it really, blah, blah, blah.

And then jump to three. where it's like the Holy Grail. It's a thing. It's a legend. It's all these things. We have all this connection to it historically, mythologically. Not like in the Shankara stones.

Well, they're just made up is my problem. So they're fine. The stones and two are a fine idea, but they're not based on some really popular. It's a dial of destiny thing? No, that's made up.

That's made up. Yeah. That's, and there's not a pile of density, but there's not a dial of density, of destiny. Yeah. There's a dial of...

The Weight Watcher's scale is the dial of density. Dial of density. Actually, it sounds like a really thick deodorant stick, doesn't it? That's right. Dial of density. All right, well, I might actually correct that. The Antichythera mechanism is an ancient Greek hand-powered or a model of the solar system,

the only known example of an analog computer. So the dial of destiny is based on a real thing. Oh, is it? Do they call it that, though? Like, you need the Holy Grail. Nobody wants to say the anti-Kythera mechanism. Yeah. Kithra mechanism.

But also, there's a problem with how well-known a thing is and how not well-known it is. Everybody knows. Everybody knows the Grail, the Holy Grail. Yeah, or the Ark of the Covenant. They're easy to remember. But these other ones are just like, okay, if you're going to be obscure, but at least make it, I don't know. But Nicole's right. This is an important point, I think.

A lot of people do give a lot of. shit to these movies because they go supernatural. But if you're being honest, they all do. You're all. Yeah, they all do. Even, you know, what, Temple of Doom? Like, the guys... We watched that. I'm like,

the guy's still alive and his hearts out of his chest. Yeah. Alima, Shakiti. I'm shi. I mean, I love all that stuff, but... I love it too. Yeah. So, I went into this movie with a more playful.

The first 20 minutes, like I said, it's all, it's, it's, you know, a lot of deaging technology. But they don't deage his voice. Sure. So when he talks, I'm like, they should have did something with the voice. Yeah, because it sounds old and grumpy.

Yeah. He sounds, he sounds 83. So, um, but again, it's only, you know, the beginning part.

And has, they do that because they need to, set the stage for what's coming up. And I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy Phoebe, was it, Waller Bridge. There you go. I watched her in Flea back. I was waiting. Yeah, you nailed it. I lost that, that. Yeah. And I really, you know, I enjoy her. And I really did like her in this role. She was a lot of fun. Agreed. And I think, oh, go ahead. I was going to say, and I didn't recognize Antonio Banderas. Like it took me a minute to even recognize him. He had such a side small role.

Do you feel like I do, like the character that Phoebe Waller Bridge plays could easily spin off into a great action series as well. Yes. Well, in fact, when you click on her link, Tomb Raider comes up. And I'm like, is you involved in Tomb Raider? She wrote, well, okay, I know the story. There's a series. She was creating, she was head in charge of show running and writing the new series, but she's not anymore. She's out.

So there was a whole big kerfuffle with that and nothing ever worked out. So now there is a new series coming, but she's not involved anymore. What was the other thing that she was going to be involved in writing that she backed out of? I know. Was it Marvel connected or? Star Wars maybe? Maybe. There may have been a Star Wars thing.

Something in my memory about Star Wars. I mean, she does the voice of the. the voice of the ship in solo. Something like that. Can't remember. Her sidekick, her helper, Teddy, gave me such, like, vibes of, what was it? We just were talking about it.

You call him Mr. Jones, lady. Oh, you're talking about the key K-Q-Q-Q-Quah. Short-round, yeah. And I want to see short-round integrated back into Indiana. Yeah, have him do his own little adventures and have him do karate and stuff. Oh, I want to see it. Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. She was

set to create and star in the Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Donald Glover. But they swapped her out for the penis land girl. Yeah. Or penis. What was it? Penisland girl. You know, it wasn't penis land. It was the show that the show with the two

girls, the two comedians who are playing 12-year-olds, but they... Oh, Penn 13. Penn 13. Thank you. Yes. Penise land. That's the whole Penn Island. It's the same joke. Same joke just in a different form. You're totally right. Yeah, just wouldn't click him with me. But yeah, no, you're right. That ended up being a pretty good show, but I forgot she was involved. Yeah, she was originally going to be the co-host with Donald Glover. But, uh, yeah. I'd just take more flea bag at this point. Absolutely. Or if you've seen the Was it squatters?

Not squatters, but it was the one where it's a bunch of medical students who were all squatting in another, in an abandoned hospital. Oh my gosh. No, I don't know what this is. This sounds great. What the heck was that called? It was great. Was it just called doctors? No.

She ended up writing, what was Eve? The Eve show. Yeah, killing Eve. She was a head writer on that, right? Or something. Yeah. So she can do, she's so freaking versatile, man. She's great.

And I will watch anything she's in. She's crashing. That's what it was called. It was one season, BBC or Channel 4 comedy, and now it's available on Netflix, hopefully a bunch of students that live in a disused hospital.

I'd watch that. Yeah. It's funny how she just kind of plays roles that I kind of like her. but then I don't like her. Like she plays that. She walks an edge. Yeah.

It's weird because she's so. Yeah. Like in Fleabagg simultaneously. She's terrible and wonderful at the same time. Yes. I don't know how she does it. It's really well. She did it great in this movie.

So if you haven't watched the new, I mean, it came out in 2023. Yeah. I think it bombed just because I think they shot it during COVID and Mark was telling me that they had to do a whole bunch of reshoots and it cost a lot of money and I mean I think box office wise it didn't do well so I don't know if we're getting another Indiana Jones I'm a huge fan of the director he made Logan he made James Mangold yeah mangold's awesome he doesn't he usually well I mean again from what I've heard and so I should say this now I still have not seen the new one I know enough about it to talk about it but I haven't seen it um I've been

just nervous to because I don't want to my love for that character is so deep and my memories of you know growing up with those movies and all that did you play the video game uh not the new one no the first person my number played the video game he says it's amazing yeah i do want to play that yeah i'm waiting for that to show up on PlayStation ultimate or plus or whatever it's called yeah yeah yeah so the video game's great this was great it was just fun like don't go into it just go into it i think you're really going to enjoy it Scott, and I think it's not going to do anything to affect your love of the character. If anything, it'll make you, it shows a heart that was always there in the other Indiana Jones movies,

but really comes to the forefront in this movie. Okay. All right. That's good news. I'll definitely be checking it out. I would not wait. I would not, what's the word? I wouldn't wait too hard or too long for that to happen on PlayStation because it's a Microsoft game and they never put those on.

Oh, yeah. Well, it's not like I don't have a ton of stuff already in the queue to play, but yeah, good point. Yeah. I mean, it's on PlayStation, but they're not going to put it in that group. A stigma says that Troy Baker voices Indiana Jones in the game. That's really cool. That's right. Do you remember when we used to play Collie Dutty with him on the weekends?

Yeah. Yeah, it was awesome. Back before Baker blew up, we were, me, Nicole, Liam, Eric, a couple other people would play Call of Duty two, I think, Modern Warfare 2. and we'd play on the PlayStation 3 for hours and hours and hours at night. And Troy Baker. We were going to play for me with me. Yeah, right?

And we played, we would play with Baker and Troy played, or Troy would do this. Oh, what's his name? Sick. Liz Lemon. What's his name? Oh. Oh, Tracy Morgan.

Tracy Morgan impression. His Tracy Morgan was unfreaking. Your memory is much better than mine. It was crazy. Well, you were too busy swearing because you drop a grenade on yourself or something. Can I tell you that when Mark and I play Fortnite, he's like, Mark had to stop me. He's like, your kids can hear you. She is the swearyest competitive shooter player.

I can't help it. I don't know what it is. I know. That's great. Anyway, this is up on Disney and Hulu, is it? Is that where I get this? Disney Plus. Is it on Hulu?

I don't know. I think only if you like, well, Don't, yeah, that's true. Disney and Hulu have a lot of parallel stuff. Let me pull up Just Watch. I have a whole bundle where it's Disney, Hulu, and HBO. I think it is just, I think they don't. I think this is just Disney.

I think you're right. I mean, they have the bundle, yeah, but if you're just having the one of service. I think you're right. I think because it's a Disney property. Yeah. Just Disney Plus. Toby Jones. You didn't mention Toby Jones.

I love Toby Jones. Put, you know, start with the first one and just go all the way through. except skipped crystal skull and then go into dialer dusting. Yeah. It'll be fun. It's a great weekend watch. That's what we did. We watched all of them.

It's a good capper. And they drag John Rise Davies out and make him do solid again. I mean, it brings back all the people that you'd want to see from the previous movies, except for Kihei Kuan. Yeah. And the Kalima guy, I was back. Well, yeah, do we? Kalima. I kind of do.

I like that. Okay. So with Karen Allen. She's back again. She's back. Once I learned, though, that she was so young when he was involved with her in the first movie. Well, in Raiders, he's early 30s and she's mid-20s. Well, no, he, like, I think she was underage when he was with her. Oh, well, not in that movie, but maybe prior to that, you're saying?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She talks about it when he comes back to her and she talks about it. Spielberg didn't do the math. He screwed up the math. Don't do the math because it's like you give the math. That's kind of gross. He was too busy having psycho-Nazis burn holes in their or burned symbols in their hands. That's right.

Beat in bad dates and all that. All right. Well, let's swing it over to mine. I have a Hulu thing. We're all in the Disney Hulu space today. And this is a show that. that I've hinted at earlier. You probably caught my hint,

but if you haven't, I'll play the clip and then we'll talk about it. Here you go. Ms. Clymouth, you look fresh. Now, if you are to join our cause, you'll have to prove.

You mean it. Are you prepared to do that? Yes. Oh, no, no, no. Please, please. I beg of you. I can't. No, no, no, no, please.

Let me just say this. Those who are not with us are against us. So which is it to be? All right. Nice and dark and gnarly there. Yeah. That is a scene. It's a flashback scene from an episode of the brand new show on Hulu, The Testaments,

which is a spin-out show from The Handmaid's Tale. And I was, I really liked Handmaid's Tale. I thought it was really great all the way through. It was a great documentary of where we're headed. It sure feels like it sometimes. It was excellent, and I got super involved in it, and I really liked it. So when I heard this was coming out, I was actually concerned because I thought, well, I feel like they've told that story. Do we really need more of this?

And then secondly, I was like, it's being presented as like a coming of age thing. And this isn't a spoiler. This is just the premise is that June's daughter, who goes by Agnes now, who in season one of that show was, taken from her before she was put in handmade service and given to a whole other family somewhere else, essentially just sucked into the system. And she was just a very small child then, like a, you know, I don't know, a toddler or two, three year old or whatever. And as the years have gone by in that timeline, she's growing up somewhere, but June and the other main characters really don't know where. In fact, by the end of handmade still, there's one big thing still hanging

over everything, which is we just need to find Agnes. And they don't treat it like, there is to be a sequel. It's just like the fight goes on because we may have won this part of the battle. We really want to get her back. And then her name is an Agnes to her. It's something else I already forgot. But anyway, she's called Agnes now. Anyway, long, long story short, they, this is the story of Agnes and her coming through the ranks of how girls are raised, taught, and treated until they become of age. and then when they're old enough, they can be married to a potential commander. And then if they're able to carry children, then the great they're going to be highly sought after

and they won't need a handmade in that relationship, blah, blah, blah, all that stuff. So a lot of those things we're in care, all those themes are being carried forward, but it's being told in this perspective that I didn't think I was going to like because I just thought, coming of age, I mean, really, we're going to do like a 90210 version of things.

Like, what are we doing in here? It's not that at all. It's very, very good. I'm blown away actually by the six episodes and I'm getting better called Saul vibes of quality like you know how you're nervous when a spin out comes and you're not sure it's going to live up to what you thought I was worried about rings of power

and the Game of Thrones prequel that they did so good this that makes me really excited how many do we know how many total episodes I think we get a total of 10 it's currently just wrapped up six So, or no, it is six coming this week? I can't remember. It's either five or six.

So I have not even finished this thing. It's current rating on IMDB is 8.2 out of 10, which is pretty damn high for IMD. For MDB. Yeah, they're usually a lot tougher. What's weird about- Are you getting the clips sent to you on Facebook? I'm getting these clips sent to me constantly. I barely spend time on Facebook, so I'm probably not the same.

So I wanted to at least mention this, if this person looked familiar that's in the star of this, is Chase Infinity. She plays Agnes. And she's from most recently the one battle after another movie. She was Willa. She was fantastic in that. She's really good. Her future is locked

in this business if she wants it. She's so good. Just an incredible actress, incredibly talented and I'm just vibed on everything she's got going. But here's what's cool about the Testaments the reason I like it so much. It isn't just about her.

There's also this other character who is played by, I forgot her name, Lucy Halliday. She plays this girl named Daisy. And I don't want to give any hints about what her role is or what's important there. The one returning person we have is Ann Dowd, who plays Aunt Lydia. That's who you heard in that clip. Good. Yeah. And they are giving huge backstory to stuff.

So now we're getting world building way more than the first season or the first series did, in my opinion. world building about the origin of things, about when things turned, why they turned, the things that led up to it. And I'm a big fan of that. I love world building in my worlds like this. And give us just enough,

but don't like completely overspell it out for us. Exactly. Great way of putting that. That's exactly what they're doing here. And it is so far, just mind-blowingly good. I didn't know what to expect.

And if you're like, hey, does June show up? Yeah, like first episode. She's, she's kind of set things. Yeah, they put her in the thumbnail for me and so it was like, okay, surprise. Yeah. And she's not in there all the time, but she's on the outside trying to do some stuff. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

There's not a spoiler that she's in it so much as it's, she's going to, you know, obviously it's. Yeah, Elizabeth Moss. She's after her. So. So crazy seeing West Wing, watching West Wing like Tina are doing and seeing super young Elizabeth Moss. Oh, yeah. It's.

President's daughter. She's so young in it. Jarring. And then I'm doing Mad Men. so I'm getting mid, I'm getting like every stage of Elizabeth Moss's career in this. So now we just need to watch this and see current Elizabeth Moss. Yep. And just all the women in this are so good.

It's mostly a, you know, it's a very, mostly entirely a female cast. We haven't really had to deal too much with specific commanders. Well, there's one guy now in this last episode where we're clearly getting, we're getting beefier into what his whole role is. but anyway, it's just really good. And if you liked handmade, it's great. If you hated it or you felt like, this is too icky of an idea.

I don't want to explore these potentials or whatever. I get it. I totally get it. I haven't watched it. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be for everybody. But I think that what it explores is, like, important. And this show seems to know that. And it's carrying the torch in a really interesting direction

without feeling too off the path. but also doing its own thing. So it's really, really good. I'm into it. The Testaments available now on Hulu comes out on Wednesdays, if you are so inclined. Nicole, always good to have you. Anything you want to mention about any kind of wood or working of said wood?

Or whispering to it. No, we just keep, Mark just published a video. He does a thing where it's called AskTW where he answers questions from viewers. And yeah, that came out of. We try to do a video every other Friday. I think he's building a table right now. Nice.

Cool. And we will definitely will be at Nurtacular. We've already booked the hotel. We're driving. So the kids are really excited for the cosplay. Oh, good. We've got the costumes ready. That's awesome.

Yeah, Bill's going to be lording over everyone's cosplay. And we're not, nobody, it's not a contest this year. The way we're treating it is like an appreciation, like a parade. Yeah. You know, let everybody come see your stuff. They still have their necklace that Bill gave them. He gave all the participants. What was the last one?

Yeah. 2017. 2017. The N17 little, little resin thing you did. Metal looking thing. Yeah. So it's ours is teal. Oh, is it?

Oh, that would have been 2015's. That's 2015. Really? Yeah. No, Ava was in it. So Abe was born in 2015. Oh, well, maybe it was 2017. I don't know.

Maybe he probably colored him differently. Yeah. And I say metal with a D, not metal with a T. Oh, metal. It was like on a ribbon, like a red, white and blue ribbon. No, ours is on a black cord. Why don't you wear the ribbon? I'm going to take a picture of it.

Well, there's definitely no way he could have done two different things on the same year. So it has to be one thing. Maybe get out of luck.com. Yeah. All right, I'll let you guys go. All right. Have fun and tell Mark hi and the kids are gray and we'll talk to you soon. Bye. All right. There goes fuming Nicole. She's out. Fuming. Fumming Nicole. All right. You guys, that's it. That's the show. We're going to get out of here.

We couldn't do any more show if we try. There's so much show today. It always goes a little long on Nicole day, but we're okay with it. We're here for it. Yeah. We do what we got to do. We just wanted to mention real quick that the Monday show will happen today at 1. And Taylor will be joining us today. Little double sister. Double sister business. yeah, which would be fun because we haven't done that a while. And last time she was here was a little bit of a hit. And I think we're going to play a little game or something. I watch this one too.

Yeah, it should be lots of fun. Yeah. Plus, Kim, it'll get to hang out with the baby while they're here and it'll be great. It's fun getting to hear you trying to remember shit on another show. Yeah. And not have to be there to badly remember it with you. Yeah, that's right. No pressure on me to remember.

Yeah, that's a good chance for me to, you know, see if my girls learned anything. Right. growing up in my house. That'll be great. Anyway, if you want to know more about what's happening on the schedule, check it out, frogpans.com slash schedule. Our website is frogpans.com slash TMS. You'll find links to everything we got going there.

We should probably go, but we need a song. We do. This is an indie at the end. Parts and Labor, great band name, has a brand new album coming out on July 10th on Ernest Jenning Record Company. We love Ernest Jenning Record Company. The album is called Set of All Sets.

Comes out, like you say, mid-July. But this is the first single. It is called Haunted Lems. Here is Parts and Labor. I did have an experience with some Kleenex earlier this morning where I felt like it really, I felt like it really knew me. I felt like it really understood me. I'm just glad you're doing this in the privacy of your own room.

When a daddy banana loves a mommy banana very much, it peels itself, it takes off his peel, and it's okay. We're moving on now. Wow. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm not stopping. Although mine seems bigger than yours.

Like a bigger page size with less sheets. I can actually feel it throbbing right here. It's actually moving right now. Yeah. Once in a while, it'll do that. If it does that for more than four hours, consult a doctor. They've already shown their box. Don't do that on the internet.

Don't show your box on the internet. I think I lasted half an hour, but I didn't enjoy it. Flew a little too hard and a little too fast. Oh, yeah. I don't think I would put that in my mouth. Mm-hmm. And, you know, whipping this out at a bar or something, people are going to go, ooh, what?

Let me see that. Yeah. All right, you're at about four inches. Three and a quarter inches. Yeah. Is that long. Oh, my. You know, and then I, you know, hold my fingers up.

It's like that long. Yeah, I ride it naked. But I was on a bench and it hit me in the face. It isn't even that thick. I don't think it's going to be that hard. I did it over the cooktop on our stove. Smash. Right through the glass ceramic cooktop.

Oh, no. That makes me sad. I was hoping it was a peepee. A dick. Unpolled and very hard. Well, these are. hard. Yeah, mine are hard. Mine's really hard. Mine's hard, too. My bag smells a little

poopy. But you can squeeze off your bag a little bit in there. Well, it's not that I like to compare Brian, but I'm going to show you my list. You're going to... Mine is... Is yours longer, Scott? Is that what you're trying to say? Mine is that big chat room? I don't have video up. I'm not looking at you're at six inches.
