Starting point is 00:01:11 Hello everybody and welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for Tuesday, May 19th, 2026. I am Scott Johnson. That is Brian Hibbitt. Hibbitt. Hibet with an age. Right at down. And I'm inhibited.
Starting point is 00:01:23 I am not inhibited. I'm far from inhibited. Oh, he lets loose, baby. Darn right, I do. You ever seen him in Vegas? My gosh. There is no. there is no hibbitions
Starting point is 00:01:33 with this hibbit Hey did you end up getting the brunt of that weird storm we had here Did you end up doing that? Yeah, we didn't We got snow in the high country Which is kind of funny for May But seeing photos of like
Starting point is 00:01:45 The ski resorts which closed Because it was such a hot winter Like all now covered with snow It's like all those bastards I know I can just see like a not CEO But whoever runs one of the things Walking out on one morning gang
Starting point is 00:01:58 Ah shit Arms folded shaking his head. Calling his assistant. Eric, get everybody back in here. We're back in business. Anyway. Yeah, we got tons of rain here.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Drop down to the mid-30s, so didn't get to freezing point, which is good. Oh, that is good, because you guys have planted some things. You don't want to. It did, yeah. I mean, Mother's Day,
Starting point is 00:02:20 basically the rule is you don't turn on your outside sprinklers or start planning anything until after Mother's Day. And it's a couple of weeks after Mother's Day. folks and here we go with the freeze warnings and stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yeah, if the weather would freaking cooperate and I know it was like weird in the Northeast like, what are we doing May? May is weird. I know. I know. No. It's really weird. Was it just, do you think it was just like, oh, like if I could be Mother Nature and I had a sentience to me?
Starting point is 00:02:50 Would I go? Oh, we just didn't really have a good winter, you know? She was distracted by Animal Crossing and she looked up and said, oh, crap, May. I, uh, okay, snow, uh, cold. Let's do this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Hitting all the buttons. Damn this new Animal Crossing update. I love it. I love it. Mother Nature plane Animal Crossing is a weird visual for me. I'm going to enjoy it for a while. You know what I've been loving lately is, um, the new card crawl, Card Crawl, Card Crawl 2.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Oh, yeah, it's good. It's really good. And, uh, the ramping up with the, the columns now with the rose. It's like, oh, this is, this like totally is a first, a big challenge. Yeah. That came's great.
Starting point is 00:03:38 That's a hell of a series. If you guys don't know what it is, go look it up. And it's just about the only mobile thing I ever play anymore. It's when those guys make something. Yeah. I get excited and I go play it. But rarely I play much else on my phone. I did get back into good pizza, great pizza,
Starting point is 00:03:55 because it appeared on Apple arcade and is like, oh, well, okay, I'll get. That one's really good. It's included. The arcade stuff really good stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That good pizza one is also very good on Steam.
Starting point is 00:04:06 And I want to say that I sent you a link to it, but the Waxheads record store one. Yeah. I played that finally. It's quite good. Yeah. Okay. It's mostly story. But the gameplay loop is a guy will come in, some hippie guy from the 70s or something.
Starting point is 00:04:23 And I'd be like, hey, man, I'm looking for an album. I can't remember the name, but it had blah, blah, blah. and I think the guy's name was Larry or Gary? And then you're like, okay, well, that might be enough to go on. And then you go look through the store. You have these areas where these albums are set up. And then you, and they're all fake albums, obviously. Oh, because that's what I was going to ask is like, is he like,
Starting point is 00:04:44 I'm looking for an album. And the three first songs on the album were this, this and this is like, okay, I'm in. If it's like, there is some of that, but it's all fake. So it's kind of a bummer. It'd be cool if they had the right. Probably just a rights issue, I would assume. I'm sure. And they had fun with it with some silly names and everything. But you go and you find the album, you hope is right. And you sell it to them. And if you're right, you get good money. If not, you don't get a tip. It's a little like the pizza one. If you screw the pizza up. Do you get to criticize his musical taste if he is looking for something really crappy?
Starting point is 00:05:15 No, unfortunately, that mechanic isn't there. Yeah, that's a bummer. I wish it was. Your daughter does not want. I just called to say, I love you. It's really good, though. I'm, I was just surprised. to how much interstitial story there is. Every time you do a loop of gameplay with three or four customers, and it's always a little different,
Starting point is 00:05:35 then it's closing time and you're in the back room and you're talking to employees about some overarching story of the whole game. Oh, really? It's an unusual thing, but I like it. The reviews are really high. They're like in the 90s, and so I can see why people are really digging it.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I was kind of hoping it was a little more frantic, like time. Like a diner dash kind of thing. That's when you when I first saw that video, I'm like, oh, wow, this is cool. A diner dash with, um, in a record store. I'm in because, you know, we, we had the idea a long time ago. And who knows, there's some day we'll revisit it. But to do a comic book store diner dash and you'd have the different areas of the comic store would be like buying back issues or the new rack or, um, buying and selling, uh, toys and
Starting point is 00:06:22 this sort of thing, autographs when somebody would come in. and it would basically be like you'd jump around from one area to the next, making sure customers were all happy. I should have just fed that into an all-lm just now. I'm just saying, make Claude do it, you know? Record that conversation we just had, plug it into Claude code. And you guys are so slow, you actual programmers, if you did it, you hurry up and contact us before we go rogue.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Exactly. Before we just do it ourselves with Claude and make a million dollars. and yeah walk away rich men rich men anyway I still think there's some meat on that bone but oh there's definitely meat on the bone where there's no meat is the clock
Starting point is 00:07:06 is the clock is the clock is so bare boned so I'd actually say that wax heads is a little more akin to papers please which is also amazing but also is not so much time as it is just sort of you work throughout a day. It's not like you have to beat some kind of clock.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And if you're into that, I think this game's really good. So check it out. It's on Steam. It may be coming to mobile. I don't know. But it would be fine on mobile. It actually worked really well on there. Sure.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And it's called waxheads. Wax heads. I love the artwork was excellent. Oh, it's awesome. The whole thing looks like a giant zine from the 90s. Yeah. Yeah, it totally does. And I'm not quite sure.
Starting point is 00:07:47 It's weird how it's set because it starts in 1988 with this band. and then there's a breakup, and then the former head singer, lead of the band, starts this record store. But then a bunch of years pass, but it seems like only 10 or so years pass. But then everyone has cell phones, and there's also like a weird Instagram rip-off idea in there.
Starting point is 00:08:09 So I'm not sure what they're doing it. It's one of those things where it's nebulous. But also it kind of works because today, you and me and kids and teens and old people are all going to record. They're all getting vinyl, because that's the hot, you know, that's the boutique thing to do. So maybe it's just kind of representing that.
Starting point is 00:08:27 But I also can tell it's written by British people once in a while because they'll use a word and then we'll go, that doesn't sound like an English word or American word. But it's set somewhere in America. So it's all very confusing. It's very good, though. Oh, interesting. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Check it out, everybody. Cool. Waxheds. Guys, I got one of these. It's been a while. Yesterday is history today. Yesterday is history today. Actually, tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:08:50 No. was when I put it in yesterday because today, oh, today is history today, in 1536 on this day, May 19th, the execution of Anne Boleyn. Oh. That would seem like a big one not to miss. That's a big one, yeah. I get these every day.
Starting point is 00:09:08 They pop up on a thing I use, a little utility thing that says today in history. Here's what's new, yeah. And nothing's grabbed me for a while, but the second wife of King Henry the 8th and mother of Elizabeth I first was beheaded at the Tower of London. Henry had her brought down on What? Oh, trumped up charges of treason, adultery, and incest
Starting point is 00:09:28 just so he could marry his next wife, Jane Seymour, the famous actor, Dr. Quinn. The famous actress, Dr. Quinn, yeah, who's been around forever. We saw her in some film psych movie recently. Was she the... There's a Bond girl, right? That's right. Yeah, the Bond one. Yep.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Yep. First, wasn't living that die? First, Roger Moore. one. Yeah. Yeah, living, let die
Starting point is 00:09:51 with the, with, she was the card lady, the Tara card lady. Right. Solitaire. Oh,
Starting point is 00:09:57 freaking name. Yeah. And then, wait, doesn't that mean you play with yourself? Exactly. Maybe she does.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Hibah, hubba. But, she was also in an old one we did. Simbad, something. Anyway. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Yes. Side boob in that one. Right. But those, that's a completely different Jane Seymour than the, than the Henry,
Starting point is 00:10:18 the eight. No, no, no, very different lady. Andble in. Suck it in, suck it in. If you're in 10, 10 or handball in, make a desperate move
Starting point is 00:10:24 unless you win and then begin to see this. To be your plane is not for free. So PC, it's killing you desperately. I see the of love. Oh, but also Rage and Payton paid for yourself. But I can keep these feelings on the shelf. Good Lord. I could go on forever. Is that burned in to your
Starting point is 00:10:40 brain? It is burned into my brain. Damn, dude. We had contests at media marketing when I worked there of who could who could last the longest in the blues traveler hook
Starting point is 00:10:54 a rap bit this a little bit. Weird. Weirdly specific. If you gave me the music, if you gave me the music behind me, I could probably get through two thirds of it.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I might forget a word here and there, but yeah. That's amazing. But R.E.M., end of the world as we know it, can't do it. Just can't do it. I'll be there for,
Starting point is 00:11:14 Leonard Bernstein, and that's it. That's where you start with Leonard Bernstein. It ends and starts. It starts and ends with Leonard Bernstein. That's amazing. Speaking of brains real quick, glad you said that because it reminded me of something. It's all about brains today, actually, because...
Starting point is 00:11:31 It's about brains. Your news is about brains also. Last night I was in bed sleeping. Sure, as one does at night. Finally, over the hump on this thing. Hallelujah. Oh, good. Feels so much better last night and this morning.
Starting point is 00:11:45 It feels so much better. Thank goodness. So I think we're finally past the worst. it. And so, um, I'm sleeping. And for some reason I'm in some dream that I, I'm often in a dream like this where there's like a big thing going on like a, I don't even know what to call them. Like a big, it's not like an event or like I don't think I'm tying nerdtacular to my brain. I just think it's like I'm supposed to go to this thing where it's important that we all go. And so for me, it was it was the whole family at a giant water park. And then there were tons of people.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I mean, hundreds of thousands of people at this water park. In the dream, it made sense. Outside, it makes no sense. And in the dream, that part of the deal was you all went to this water park and there was a giant movie theater in the water park. So would people be out in the pools and stuff? There was a huge theater to look at.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Kind of reminded me when I was on that crew. Yeah. I had a screen outside. Kind of like what Circa has in Las Vegas, where you put the pools in front of the big TVs. That's exactly it. That feeling of size. ratio to people in the pool is just like that. Okay. Okay. All right. Maybe I even pulled it from that. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Maybe. Maybe you got an ad for it. Could have been. But I'm out there. Kim and I keep looking for excuse to just go to there. You and me both. I got a thing yesterday from Rio. Yeah. And Rio, you know, off strip, but it's like complimentary four nights in one of our suites. If you want to come out, I'm like, oh, geez. That's hard to turn down. It's really hard to turn down. Four nights, although here's the thing. Those four nights, I mean, I have to go. and find something to eat, something to do, all of which costs money for four days. Yeah, a lot more than it used to. The four nights are, you know, free nights to sleep somewhere is great, but it's the other, it's the whole rest of the time that's like, yeah, I can't afford to do that.
Starting point is 00:13:32 That's how they get you. Yeah. Anyway, so we're doing that. It's all fine in the dream. But then part of the deal was that while you were there, you were getting CT scans, brain scans. Wow, that took a very unexpected turn. Yeah, it took the weird, but again, in dream logic, I was like, okay, this is what we're doing. Were they pulling you each out of the pool one at a time?
Starting point is 00:13:55 Like, you're up. Come on. Yeah, basically, yeah. He would like, all right, and there was a doctor walking around in flip-flops. I remember this detail. Okay. Doctor with a full coat, white coat, the doctor get up, this tag, the looking all professional doctor man, glasses, clipboard, but he's wearing flip-flops because we're at a water park. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:12 And it's always nighttime. That's the other weird thing. It's never sunny out. Well, that's good for the movie. Yeah. Very weird. So he comes, pulls you out, does a CT scan. He's got a CT, you know, machine thing.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And then, or maybe they're MRIs. I don't remember, whatever that is. Somehow we were being scanned. And then he would take us back and it'd be fine. And then later on, we just assumed everything was great. But later on, he's like, Mr. Johnson, can I talk to you for a second? And I said, sure, what's up? And the doctor says, come over here, please.
Starting point is 00:14:43 And I sneak off with him somewhere very. Which seemed impossible with hundreds of thousands of people at this fake water park But he pulls me off to the side sits me down and goes we found We found that you have a very fast advancing version of Alzheimer's today Oh And just here at the doctor water park unit deal Exactly And I was like I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:15:09 Bay medical facility yeah but it was one of these dreams where that is right when I woke up and it was 6 a.m. when I woke up Just prior to my alarm, probably 558 or something. And I, it was really bad because it was one of those dreams that even though over time now I've been able to see it for how ridiculous it was. At the time felt so real. And I felt like I hadn't had a chance to tell Kim and I haven't talked to the kid yet. And I'm laying in bed with these feelings of like, oh shit, well, we got to get our stuff in order. What does this mean? At what point is a good time to tell the kid?
Starting point is 00:15:45 I mean, that part makes sense from yesterday you and I having such a hard time like remembering names and remembering movie titles. I guess that was more during film sack that Sunday. Oh, we struggled. Something was up with my brain. I mean, you know, I had gone to scoff fest the night before. So I think we both had good excuses. You were overstimulated the night before. I had been sick the whole night.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah. And hadn't slept either one of us. So we, I feel like Saturday was a good excuse. But maybe you're right. Maybe some of that fed into. maybe maybe you're thinking about that that like it's oh my god how much of it is lack of sleep and and and the the OD and how much of it is just early on yeah how much of it is real oh shit yeah and I laid there for a little while and then when I got up it took me probably a good half an hour to come to terms
Starting point is 00:16:33 with it because it was the feelings were still so fresh of shock and surprise and and the doctor and his flip-flops was so serious you know geez and it was such a fun event we're all out playing in the water and there's a movie and all this and then he comes in and gives me this terrible news and I'm like no dude it was a dream it was insane what are you doing it took me till like seven o'clock to get over it funny how those things stick with you that seems so real I don't know why but I have not been able to remember dreams with with a couple exceptions remember dreams and right after I wake up I'm like oh that was weird gone yeah yeah they're pretty rare for me too because I do think I dream almost every night
Starting point is 00:17:15 and I have some sense of when I wake up I remember it for a minute. Sure. But then it's gone. It's like poof. Yeah. But some of these, like the one with your head on a chair, remember that? I totally remember that one. That one, I still can see that one. Yeah. To this day, I still, I mean, I don't know
Starting point is 00:17:31 what the hell's going on. Yeah, that's bizarre. That was like 2013 or something. Maybe I'm just, you know, need an analysis, but maybe I'm just a little talking head to you. Maybe that's all I am. Just a little talking head on a chair. Just a floating head by the. Red microphone. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:45 With a little Spider-Man on it. Yes, and a little Doctor Doom. Dave, you've seen my Dr. Doom on here. Oh, no, I hadn't yet. That's awesome. Oh, that's a way better face than what you had on that. Than the previous one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I love how, like, if you look, you can kind of see his eyes through the, uh, the Dr. Doom eye holes. Yeah. That's great. Very freaky. Yeah. That's great. Found an online, a 3D print designer that, um, that makes these.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Unfortunately, they, well, I shouldn't. say unfortunately because they should charge because they do a great job and they design these really well. But my daughter-in-law, Kay, she's big and a loooboos still. And or still, I mean, they're still popular right now. But I showed her this and she's like, oh, my God, that's great. So I had to print one for her. And then I made the mistake of saying, oh, yeah, here's this website where this guy, you know, designs a whole bunch of different ones. So now I'm on the hook to print an ugi-buggy version, which let me tell you, the oggy-bugger.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Uygibuggy version is pretty damn cool. Yeah, that's actually pretty red. Yeah. Yeah. I get the fandom because we've seen this in every decade. Everybody's, there's always something. Cabbage Patch kids. Cabbage Patch dolls, tickle me elmos. And now it's even, you know, you have bigger fandoms because of the internet and all that. So it's all fine.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Right. Exactly. There's a doll in the mall. We were just there. A doll in the mall. Somebody in the chat maybe can help me with this because I can don't remember the name of the place. but it's like a very Asian themed. It may actually be an Asian effort.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Yeah. Like a Korean. It reminded me of like the claw machine vibe without the claw machines. Sure. You see all lit up and everything. Oh, it's funny. Yeah. I'll talk about that in a second.
Starting point is 00:19:29 But geez, those things are back too. Oh, they're back with a vengeance. Yeah. Yeah. And in there, there's these, all the dolls have these huge upper lips, almost like a duck bill, but their lips. Okay. And I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I should have taken a picture because I wanted to make fun of it with you on here. Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't. Does anybody know what that is? Popmark. That's it. Art and Chicken.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Okay. Okay. So it's not pop toys. Like Funko Pop. Yeah. Yeah. It's not that. Let me look this up real quick.
Starting point is 00:20:01 You got to see this horrendous. It's in the fashion place mall. It's really funny how it goes right to it. Oh, that's funny because that's the one I went to. was our ver well we have one called fashion place that's where i saw it oh no that's where it's sending you to is the oh our actual mall oh that's funny okay so here we go found it here's an right between love sack and uh across from journey's kids yep oh look that now they all have this weird upper lip i wish this was a side view because it sticks way out yeah and they're all
Starting point is 00:20:31 like this and i don't freaking get it like they're just all look derpy as hell to me and i don't understand what the deal is. So I know, you know, I'm not the guy. I'm not your target audience. I understand all that. But please explain. Yeah, I'm looking at the, the popmark.com website. Oh, my God, you have to get through so many pop-ups. But it is. It's like over by city in there. They've got a ton of, what you call it? Labubu's there too. They do. Yeah, they had a bunch of that. And they also do a lot of licensing. So there was like a Buzz Lightyear theme. one and we've got something kind of similar called mini
Starting point is 00:21:11 so am i n i s o and you know what i wonder if it's related because the logo is a red rectangle with white you know standard um a white sans serif um
Starting point is 00:21:26 font like looking at the boxes it's just a ton of blind boxes of stuff right stacks and stacks of blind boxes of all these things right right right um what's it called again? Miniso. M-I-N-I-S-O.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Yeah. I think I've heard Carter and Alicia talk about it. They're super into this scene, although they don't care about the dolls, but they like the, they like the whole,
Starting point is 00:21:48 like, these Korean stores are popping up everywhere. Oh, totally. Here you go. This better explains why I think this face is effed, because it's a side view. So that one's pretty rough,
Starting point is 00:21:58 all right? Oh, yeah. Oh, you didn't tell me about, like, it's not just the upper lip protruding. It's kind of the chit-shitting out. Yeah, look at this one here. Like, what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:22:08 like why do you want that level of derp in your house? It's really funny. I don't get it. Super duck face. But this place was, this is actually the one in that mall, I think. It was like this. There were people everywhere. Apparently, this is a thing and we missed the boat.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I don't know what's going on. Oh, they must have been like doing some unveiling. There was something at Target. Oh, that you just reminded me. There was something at Target last weekend, maybe the weekend before. It was another morning where I'm, like, you know what? It's a Saturday morning. I'm going to go out in Uber for a little bit and then come back and work on my film sax song and some freelance and whatever, but decided to go out
Starting point is 00:22:45 first thing in the morning. And one of the people I picked up was a dad and his daughter from Target. And there was a Pokemon anniversary collection where they had a bunch of unique Pokemon stuff that you could only get at Target and only, you know, it was basically, yes, we're going to start bringing them out at 9 o'clock in the morning on this date. And it was like jackets and water bottles and toys and models and things like that. The guy, he said, dude, I've watched a bunch of like war movies and military service movies and things like that. I've been to, you know, been to like concert events and things like that where they're, or I've been to Black Fridays. this was
Starting point is 00:23:37 a hundred times worse. It was like people it was people grabbing things not just out of people's shopping carts which happened he was describing I was like yeah I just saw I watched three people like as this guy was putting stuff in his shopping cart with his kid I watched three people
Starting point is 00:23:54 just grab stuff right out of the shopping cart and no you know nothing he said somebody even tried to grab something out of his shopping bag after he already purchased it and it was like Oh my gosh. Like leaving the store, it was purchased and somebody tried to reach into his cloth target bag and pull out something he'd bought. Not that any of this is good, but that feels like a step too far, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:24:15 It's grabbing it out of somebody's purchased. That's literally theft. It's theft. Exactly. That's larceny. Exactly. Like, what the hell is wrong with you people? That's wild to me.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I don't know, man. He's like, he's like if my daughter wasn't with me, I would have just punched that guy in the next week. It's like, yeah. I don't believe you. What a freaking... I might have done it with my daughter with me. Actually, she would have probably punched him, but she's also over. She probably would have, yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:24:42 But yeah, and it's exactly right. These are all people. He said that some woman, like, was standing over by the jacket. It's like a Pokemon anniversary jacket. And like, all right, eBay still has this. eBay has this thing for like a thousand bucks. And she grabs the jacket and runs to, you know, buy it and stuff. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Wild. Yeah, I think we'd think we'd be over this. Yeah. You know, you think after all that Elmo stuff and everything we did in the 80s and 90s, we'd go, yeah, maybe we should be a chiller kind of consumer. Maybe we can just relax a little bit. No, you go to a Costco and watch two men fight over Pokemon cards that aren't even out of their box yet. It's just the fact that people see a very, what they think is a very easy way to make money, which is buy something rare, sell it immediately. This is my new job.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Blub, blah, blah. It says something better economy, maybe. It does. Exactly. And commercialism and, you know, I'm not going to get on that soapbox, but, you know, maybe we don't need to have rare limited edition crap. Yeah. You know? Yeah. One day you're going to look back on this.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Some of you people that are out there wrestling for stuff and you're going to feel bad about what you did. Exactly. Also, if you walk by a pop mart, you might get a cavity. That's all I'm saying. Look at that. Oh, geez. That's just so pink, dude. My gosh.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Yeah, very similar to minisoe. Yeah, I think this is mini-so, I think. Carter, you know what miniso is? You guys have been, right? How was it? It's fun. Like little toys and lubo-boo-boo shit. All mystery boxes?
Starting point is 00:26:19 Like Brian, like Brian was saying, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah, and Japanese snacks. Yeah, Sunburn's right. Like a lot of Japanese snacks and some home goods. Like, you can get a spatula. It's got a stitch head on it and stuff like that. This is how we get to Firefly time because all the Asian stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:38 It's taking over. This is where it starts. That's right. Just kidding. I love the Asian folks and I have some in my family. So who am I to complain? Brian, how'd trivia go last night? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:48 So we did trivia. Now this was the, so there was the eight week Jeopardy Bar League trivia thing, right? Where we were competing against the whole country, competing against regionally. And third week, I think we had that issue where they jumped ahead and didn't, didn't, make sure all the the wagers were in and basically cost us cost us the game because
Starting point is 00:27:10 she didn't do the countdown like other quiz masters do and say all right get your wagers in five four because we're still like doing the math arguing over how much we needed to do sure um but uh and then we had another game where one of our
Starting point is 00:27:26 one of our alternate players showed up with his grandmother and uh kept us like basically stayed up with us neck and neck on on points, so we had to bet everything. Oh, that's cute, though. I like that. Yeah, so we went from like top three down to like 22nd. Oh. And then last we checked before last night, we were back up to 15th place.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Damn. And we won last night with a lot of points. Kick the bolt. And, but they, I just looked at to see. They don't have the, they have not posted the new scores. So, because I guess because it's last, it was the, it's the last week of it. They're probably keeping it like suspense of like, ooh, we might be in contention. I know we're not in contention.
Starting point is 00:28:15 It would just be cool if we made it back up into the top 10. Yeah, because that's a hell of a clawback. My gosh. It is. Like it was a super, a super duper rally. So, yeah. Sometimes that's all the winning you need. It kind of is.
Starting point is 00:28:29 It feels like, you know, you get knocked down and you get back up again. again. Are you ever going to let them keep you down or whatever? The song is now in our heads, but that's not had a delicious Yeager Schnitzel, you know, the hammered out pork, deep fried, a little bit of gravy and a spatsal underneath it. That sounds so. And some of that pickled red cabbage that I love. They also serve it with like a cranberry jelly too, which is just so good.
Starting point is 00:28:59 All of that sounds good. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to miss that place. Last night was the last night of trivia there. So how far is it? Is it? I was going to say. We can still go, but we won't be going there for trivia.
Starting point is 00:29:13 It's about 25 minutes away, 30 minutes away. It's a kind of place you don't want to go every day because it is the kind of food that you really shouldn't. Unless you're German and you live in Germany and it's all you have access to. You probably shouldn't eat that every day. No, no, you certainly should not eat deep fried pork cutlet every day. But every couple months is just. just fine. We'd be propelling yourself around with the farts.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Yes, you would. Well, congratulations on the clawback. Thanks. We're going to do... We're going to do one news story before we bring Travis in today. And let me tell you how that's going to go. It's going to go like this. Today's news is brought to you by...
Starting point is 00:29:51 Attention Mario fans. There's a new print by Scott up in the store. Scott, what is it? Well, let me tell you, I drew this new one. It's called Mushroom Kingdom lineup. And it's denizens of the mushroom kingdom, including a turtle shell. Is the turtle, is he drinking out of that toilet? I feel like he's angled to a point where that might be what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:30:15 You're not wrong. Because of the business end of the turtle is not pointed at the euro. You know what? I had not thought about it until now, and I'm actually glad he looks like he's doing what he's doing because that's weird. I think it's even funnier. Yes, absolutely. You got Mario, you got Luigi lined up there. Just a little height difference, really.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Those guys are kind of the same in color. Cupa looks like you might be drinking out of there too. Yeah, the Gumba is really having a hard time. Or Gumba, I'm sorry, not a Coupe. Yeah, I guess he's a Cupa then, right? He's a Cupid. The Turtles the Cupa. I get him mixed up.
Starting point is 00:30:41 They all work for the same asshole. Yeah. So it's fine. Wario should be turning around and pooping in the urinal. I completely agree. And then, yeah, Wario, and then you got the plant. He's over there. I don't know how that works, but he's doing it.
Starting point is 00:30:55 And then there's a coin in the final toy. And then a coin. Don't touch that coin. It's disgusting. No, but those gross brand out the most. There's where it might look on. your wall. Oh, that's very cool. Yeah. So anyway, it's up now. Available now on the store. Frogpants.com slash store or just go to frogpants.com. Just click on the thing at the top. There you go. And
Starting point is 00:31:12 just click on the top. Yeah, it'll be up there for a little while. Not sure how many I'm going to make. But if you want one, I had a lot of fun making it. And if you have like a game room at home or something like that, you know, be a cool thing. All right. Quick news story. Strong man, John Stevenson. John? And who was that man? John Stevenson. all I know about wrestling right there. Yep. Encapsulated in one sentence. One little exchange with Brian and I.
Starting point is 00:31:41 That's it. That's it. Oops. Screen change. There we go. Here we go. Strongman John Stevenson pulls a car with his penis while his body is on fire. This is pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Okay. Yeah. I feel like if you want to really take things to the next level on the strong man stuff, this is how you do it. It's really how you do it. And I guess the, The pain of one distracts from the pain of the other. Yeah, I would assume so, right?
Starting point is 00:32:06 And he's old. 50. Well, not, you know, it's not that old, but it's old for this. What does that make us? Yeah. It's old for setting yourself on fire and pulling something with your penis. For sure, yes. Says here, dragged a two ton or T-O-N-N-E. I love it.
Starting point is 00:32:21 As the people in the UK say. French police car, 40 meters, which is 131 feet, for those who are confused, here in the States, along a residential street using his manhood after being set a light, which is to say, put on fire. He accomplished the extraordinary stunt in Halifax, West Yorkshire on Thursday as bewildered local residents looked on. Nobody warned anybody or something. Right. Oh, is it Thursday?
Starting point is 00:32:51 Burning penis pulling man is out today. And I almost read this as enjoying a tow rope fastened to his penis, but it's employing. a tow row. No one enjoys that. Well, I don't want to, you know. Why? Okay. This is the UK. Yorkshire, East Yorkshire. Like pudding, right? Yeah, like pudding. Yeah. Um, Halifax. I'm sorry, Halifax West Yorkshire. Why is it a French police car? Like, why? Oh, yeah. Are there, you know, is there something special about a French police car? Well, the English hatred for the French just has no, has no end, Brian. Did he pull it through the chunnel as well? It just seems like there's always an opportunity to screw with the French.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I guess so, yeah. It says here this was a toe rope. It is attached to his ding-dong. He managed to haul the Renault, Cleo, R.S is the car. I don't think we get those here. No. Along the road where ITV drama Ackley Bridge was shot. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I don't know what Ackley Bridge is. Yeah, maybe that, maybe that has to do with the French police car. Is it a French police drummer is? thing that's some kind of like CSI over there kind of series who knows. Coming up on Ackley Bridge. I love this part. Despite acknowledging it hurt, quote, quite a bit, unquote. Sure.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Yeah. The father of three confirmed everything was still intact. Or is this wrote, intact. In, to everything was still intact. That's funny. Why would you write it that? Is that a UK thing? Or is that just a typo?
Starting point is 00:34:23 Yeah, it might be a typo. I like, but he's a father of three. And only three. Yeah, he's done. That's it. It's, it's, it'll just be three, folks. If you thought you were having more kids, you just kink the hose, buddy. You're done.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Exactly. Oh, my God. Tell it to the car. Tell it to that little French piece of shit. Tell it to the Renault. Yeah. All right, that's it for news, because we have to shift things now. Do we?
Starting point is 00:34:53 We do. We do. Because this is your chance, Brian. This is you ready to shine. We're going to make it a giant dent. I'm going to go lay down for. the next segment. You're good. I don't know. I'll end up with the same same score as I would if I stood up and played. Look, the small mercy
Starting point is 00:35:08 is that we didn't get asked on Saturday for this because we wouldn't have had answers to anything. Sunday, you mean, yeah. Or Sunday. See, I can't even remember what day we were stupid. Oh, yeah, exactly. Anyway, here's this. Don't tell me what I know, Travis. Hey, you know what that means? Travis Crawford is on the line with us. TV's Travis, you call him and he's right here. Hi, Travis. Oh, hello. Hi, sorry, Travis. There you go. Hello. There he is. Sorry, I thought I had you in here already. My bad. Yeah, I was one. I was like, okay, because I mute the stream and then like, did I, no, no, no, you were, miss my day. You were the professional today. I was the mistaken guy. But you, how are you? What's going on with you?
Starting point is 00:35:48 I'm doing well. By the way, I have actual audio of that man pulling the Renault Clio. Can you play it? It sounds something like this. Oh. I was thinking more like more like that. That's also, yeah. Yeah. Oof.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Yeah. I know, I wouldn't do it. There are a couple of things I'm thinking. There's a couple of things in life that I will never do for sure. I should make a list. One of them is tie a rope to your dingus and pull a car and set yourself on fire. Yeah, I was going to say, that's like three of the things I'll never do all wrapped up into one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:23 You know what? Put a fourth on there. I'm never going to drive a. Renault ever. Listen, if you can be one thing, you should be efficient. Yeah, there you go. I like that. Well, today we'll see how efficient we are in this game.
Starting point is 00:36:35 You come on every three weeks and you give us a little bit of heat in the way of trivia. T.B. Travis's Trivia time. Trivia heat. Trivia time with TV's. So let's lay into it. What do you got for us this week? All right. So we're coming into this, by the way, Scott. You are currently up 3-1.
Starting point is 00:36:52 But Brian, you're not a lot of money. I never feel like I'm ahead up, by the way. my God. I know that sounds, sounds like I'm being weird about it. I honestly, truly in my head of brains, do not, when we roll into this, I go, oh, man, I hope I do good today, because, but I never think I'm ahead. So anyway, I mean, in fairness, you did win last month, but it was, you know, it was close. It was very close.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah. Maybe that's why it freaked me out and it stayed. It could be. Sure. So we are going to kick things off with everybody's favorite game. Describe a movie with wrong characters. I love it. I suck at this, but I love them.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Scott, you get our first movie here. All right. Here is the movie. John Hancock is the target of a corrupt NSA agent Larry Zoolander after a chance run-in with Earl Hickey and enlist the help of Senator Kevin Keely to clear his name. Earl Hickey. Oh, my gosh, dude. You really got me with this one. Earl Hickey. Earl Hickey.
Starting point is 00:37:59 that's why can't I place Earl Hickey shush Carter yelled Carter went Carter goes I know oh wow really yeah excellent can you we don't get doubles on this like a double read or do we
Starting point is 00:38:17 I can read it one more time for you all right John Hancock is the target of a corrupt NSA agent Larry Zoolander after a chance run in with Earl Hickey and enlists the help of Senator Kevin Keely to clear his name Oh, the Hancock part is, uh, uh, that's Will Smith from Hancock.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Oh. Uh, that's, uh, uh, the enemy of the state. That is correct. Oh. Wow. Very good. Wait, I'm still struggling with Earl Hickey. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:51 So John Hancock, Will Smith's character, uh, in Hancock. I don't know why I was like thinking, um, Founding Foward. Uh, Paul Giamatti. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But he, did he, he never played John Hancock. He played John Adams.
Starting point is 00:39:04 He was John Adams. Yeah. I could not get him out of my head. I'm like, what do we? Where is this little big liar or whatever the one with Frankie Bood is? Or, yeah, anyway. Oh, my gosh. So he's targeted by corrupt NSA agent, Larry Zoolander, John Voight.
Starting point is 00:39:20 John Voight. After chance running with Earl Hickey. Why can't I? Oh, Jason Lee. Oh, my name is Earl. Okay. Earl Hickey, of course. I loved that show.
Starting point is 00:39:32 What am I doing? I didn't know Voight was in Zoolander. I was like, okay, haven't seen it. It's got to be, you know, you got to be talking about Ben Stiller, but apparently not. I guess. It was hard to find a character for John Voight that wasn't John Voight. Yeah. Well, you can have done, what was he in Mission Impossible?
Starting point is 00:39:49 He was. Jim Phelps. Yeah. You had that handy. My gosh. I know. Brian's like, who was he in that? He's like, Jim Phelps.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Holy shit. I really like those movies. Whoever has TV's Travis on their team for Frog Fence All-Stars. Sorry. Sorry other teams. Yeah, I feel like we're giving that team a way huge advantage. And then the last name was Senator Kevin Keely, Gene Hackman. Gene Hackman. That was his character in the bird cage.
Starting point is 00:40:15 That's right. He was the Senate. Okay. The Hancock part's what got it for me. Weird. And the description of what the movie is outside of the end. Yeah, I think he's going to be like giving us a movie that's got, what is it, Michael Graves, who was the.
Starting point is 00:40:28 original Jim Phelps, Michael Graves? Peter Graves. Peter Graves. See? Oh, Peter Graves. Yeah. On biography. Right. All right. So, Scott takes round one. Round two, Brian, this is your movie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Described with wrong characters only. Steve Trevor and Siler have to put aside their differences and stop Bruce Banner from ending the world in his quest for vengeance against Dr. William Bell. Oh, geez. Okay. That's hard. These are hard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:04 All right. Can I one more time on that? One more time. Yes. Yeah. Thanks. All right. Steve Trevor and Siler have to put aside their differences and stop Bruce Banner from ending the world in his quest for vengeance against Dr. William Bell.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Okay. Well, Steve Trevor and Siler, I might be giving this to, to say. Scott, because there's a couple different ones. But I'm thinking it's Chris Prine and Zachary Quinto. Right. So Star Trek,
Starting point is 00:41:40 but which William Bell was the one from Fringe. That was your, I'm just going to say it's the first Star Trek. That's correct. Oh, nicely done. I couldn't remember if. Oh, Bruce
Starting point is 00:41:58 Banner. It was freaking Eric Banna's in it. Yep. He's the bad guy. Okay. Okay. I was so hung up on freaking Ruffalo. I could not think about the... Same, dude. Same. And actually, I was thinking of a banner snatch or whatever, bumber crotch. Yeah, uh, con.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Yeah, I was thinking of that whole thing. So I was like, if I think I would have picked two. So, yeah, you did good. That was good. Wow. That was a good one. And, uh, yeah, it's always fun to find, like, a character that's been done multiple times. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To try and, you know, go in there because, like, Bruce Banner, you've got so many choices. We've had a lot of Bruce Banners. Eric, or was his, uh, from the.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Yeah. Oh my gosh. Fight Club. Uh, um. What's wrong with me? Ed. Norton. Ed Norton. Yes, Norton. Thank you. Saturday. It's like Sunday again. Yeah, it is. It's like we're going to see that episode all over again. Exactly. By the way, loved it. Uh, because Zodiac is my favorite David Fincher movie still. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:42:59 And it was just fun to listen to you guys talk about it. I really enjoyed it. I think Randy got too hung up on how realistic it's meant to be. It's no poke against Randy, but that's what worked for me. So if anyone out there has not seen Zodiac and you want like a really good telling of an unsolved real life thing. Of a true crime. Yeah. That's the thing, right?
Starting point is 00:43:19 It is a true crime story and it's detectives doing detective work. It's not an action film. Yeah. Yeah, exactly that, which is what I love about it. And the cast is incredible. If you can deal with the three-cent artist dissonance, the guy who made the stamp, you'll be okay. You'll be all right.
Starting point is 00:43:38 You'll make it through. Oh, but he's so good. I love John Carroll Lynch. He's amazing, right, though. I mean, I want to hear him say Margie. We didn't even talk about Ruffalo's wife, an actress that I just adore. She was in that Frankie and Grace, I believe,
Starting point is 00:43:55 or Grace and Frankie. she's just got like her her eyes. I just love her eyes. She has a crazy name like a Super Shine or Super Shine. Oh, Sunrise is her name. Sunrise. Sunrise. Sunrise.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Frankie Frankie. Coagney? Is that her name and Frankie and Grace or is that her? That's her real name. Her real name is Sunrise Coagney. I wonder if that's who I'm thinking of. Hold on a second. They've been married since 20 or 2000, which makes them a nice long-running Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:44:27 would couple. I don't know how you pronounce that Quigney. No, no, no. That's Ruffalo's real wife. I'm thinking about who Oh, sorry. Who plays his wife in Zodiac. Shit, I took you. Oh, you're talking about Chloe Savigny. No, I'm not. No, no. That's that's the other one. That's Mysterio's
Starting point is 00:44:43 wife. I'm talking about the Holtz wife. We'll get there eventually. Yes. Tashi. Which apparently, oh, there it is. June, Diane Raphael. Gotcha. Okay. Did somebody say that in chat already? No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Maybe. Go look at June, Diane. I'm just going to give you a link and try not to get lost in her eyes. Right here is a link in the Discord. I still think we should all give Sunrise Coigny and Mark Ruffalo are our congratulations on a 25-year marriage. Wow, no kidding. Yeah, exactly. Yes, the mean sister, Monica.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Yeah, look at June, Diane Raphael. Take a look here. Is it in our, you put it in Discord? It's in our TMS Discord. Oh, she's lovely. Yeah. Look at her. Look at those eyes.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I mean, come on now. Oh, yeah. How do you not just fall deeply in love with those eyes? I'm so distracted by those eyes. She's beautiful. Yeah, she's been a lot of stuff. Major, a lot of character acting. And that's forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I've never seen and everyone gives me shit for.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Oh, really? Yeah, if you ever want to see, do you see Jason Seagull's penis in that? Or is it? I think it's the other guy, the guy that's... I feel like we do. The guy that is... Yeah, Katie Perry's... ex-husband penis.
Starting point is 00:45:57 The guy that assaults people now and then Ruses, he's Christian to get over it. Yeah, Russell Brand. carries around a Bible as if that makes up for him raping people. Yeah. Asshole. Anyway, okay. Sorry, Travis. Go. That's all right.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Big distraction. Yeah. Work our way back here. All right, so we're 1-1 going into round three, which is our musical round. And Scott, you get to bid on how much of the song you want. I have my smallest clip, if you get it from that, I will be supremely impressed.
Starting point is 00:46:27 All right. And then I have a couple longer ones, including one with lyrics. So what are my options? My length options? You got a little one second, two seconds. And then I have with lyrics.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I'll go for the two seconds. All right. Brian, do you think you can... I'm going to try it with the one. Yeah. I'm going to try it for the one. Here we go with your one second of this song. Is that hungry?
Starting point is 00:47:00 I don't know, uh, hungry eyes. No, it's, uh, that's, oh, no, no, it's, it's, uh, man. If anyone's gonna do it, you are. Yeah, I hate to ask, can I get it one more time, sorry? Yep, one more. Okay. Oh, um, no, is that, is that Ohio by, uh, the pretenders? Good guess. No.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Okay. Oh, man. Shoot. All right. Great, great guess. Uh, thing, I should have gone with that. No, all right, Scott, here you get a little bit more of the song. Okay. Okay. Oh. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Do I have to know artist and title? Yes. I need artist in title. Can I hear it one more time? I just need it to jog my brain. I know the song. Yes, you get one more. And then you're on the clock.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Okay. Oh, no. We're going to need this. All right. I know that's Michael McDonald, but I don't know this song. I don't know the name. I just know the... No, we needed title and artist.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Brian, you get a chance for a steal. Shine sweet freedom, shine a lot on me. That's right. That is sweet freedom from running scared. That's right. That's what the movie... That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:48:46 That's right. Yeah, we've agreed. We're big. die on that. We're big fans of that movie too. We like it. Oh, no. The answer was Ipswich clams.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Dang it. It's the only reason I know what Ipswich clams are. It really is. It totally is. Yeah. That intro drum thing, though, God, I want to pull up the pretenders. Went back to Ohio. There's a lot that have that type of film.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Like a Miami sound machine kind of vibe. It was something. It was like, yeah. nothing's going to stop us now by Starship, I think, begins with that. Probably, yeah. Yeah, that popped into my head as well. I don't know, why was that a thing?
Starting point is 00:49:27 It's like, get in my car or whatever that song was. Get out of my dream. Everybody had a song like this. That gated drum sound. Yep, gated reverb of the plane. I remember learning about that, and then I didn't see dirty dancing until much later. Like, I just saw it a couple of years ago.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Yeah, I've had the time my life begins with that, too. It's got the gated reverb on the drum, and I'm like, oh, I don't normally get taken out of movies, but that took me out for a second. That didn't exist yet. That did not exist back in that day. Yes. Right. Very weird. Too funny.
Starting point is 00:50:02 All right. Round four, we're going to do our real or fake. Brian's up a point right now, right? Brian is up one. Okay. Two to one. Ooh. Joy while lasts.
Starting point is 00:50:11 So our real or fake. We'll start. I've got five each for you. So whoever gets more correct on if it is real or if it is fake. Brian, I'm going to start with you, members of the Avengers. This is according to Wikipedia. Okay. These characters were listed as members of an Avengers team.
Starting point is 00:50:32 At one time or another member of the Avengers. Okay. All right. So can you get these right or not? Our first one is Swordsman. Swordsman was a member of the Avengers. Correct? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I would have lost them. played in the in the MCU by that guy with the mustache and the the the so not Pedro Pascal not Pedro Pascal
Starting point is 00:50:58 was he in I don't remember that at all he was in was it Hawkeye no yeah he was in the Hawkeye series was the Hot Guy series yeah and then brought back for the recent one the was it Daredevilborn again we got him back we got him back in something recent I know who the dude for
Starting point is 00:51:16 from Better Call Saul. Yeah, I haven't watched Season 2 of Better Call again yet. Yeah. I'm thinking of Breaking Bad. I know who you mean now. That actor's great.
Starting point is 00:51:26 I didn't know he was the swordsman. I had no idea. All right. So that's one. You got that one? Another one here. Iron fist. Iron fist was a member of the Avengers.
Starting point is 00:51:36 That is correct. Damn it. Don't ask me to play them, but I, Warpath. Warpath was killed off pretty quickly in X-Men 94.
Starting point is 00:51:46 never made it to the Avengers. That is correct. Was it Warpath that was killed off? Oh, it was Thunderbird was killed off. Warpath was his brother. Warpath was a member of the new mutants. Yeah. Correct. Two-gun kid. With his bandana over his face.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I don't think he was ever a member of the Avengers. In correct, he was a member of the Avengers. Really? I don't know. Does that kid with two? Two guns. Is that the idea? Yeah. That's it.
Starting point is 00:52:18 It looked like a cowboy, basically. It was like a... Oh, that kind of kid, quote unquote. Yeah. And I was thinking like, oh, yeah, no, his Marvel Comics time would have ended before the Avengers started, but apparently not. Apparently, he made it. Okay. That's wild.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Okay. So you are three for four. Okay. And your last one is Nightcrawler. Night crawler. It was night. I don't think he was ever a member of the Avengers. I'm going to say no, but I'm probably wrong.
Starting point is 00:52:42 I'm going to say no. Oh, good. Okay. Good. He was too. He was stinky. X-Men, Excalibur. Yep.
Starting point is 00:52:49 They can't have that sulfur farting, freaking nasty ass. That's right. Exactly. He's gross. One of the best opening scenes to a movie is X2. With him and the president. No, they never quite topped it, honestly. I think that it's perfect.
Starting point is 00:53:06 I'm so glad Alan Cumming is going to be in Doomsday. I don't know how they're going to do it. Like how they're going to. To DA a him or something. Exactly. How do you, I would compare that, I think, the time they came close was who's the speed guy? Oh yeah, Quicksilver.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Quick Silver, that scene with the time in a bottle thing. Unbelievable cool, but it doesn't quite match that. Everybody said, this was the greatest scene in X-Men first class or whichever one it was. And they said, let's keep doing it in every movie that Evan Peters is in. Yeah, they over did it. That first one, though, was like, perfect song, perfect thing. It's perfect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:43 All right, Scott. All right, Scott. All you got to do. Yeah. All you got to do is go five for five here to win this round. That's all. No pressure. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:49 I'm sure it's... I'm sure it'll be something totally in my wheelhouse and that'll be no problem. All right. So, real or fake Avenger. First one, Beast. Was he an Avenger? So we're on the... It's the same...
Starting point is 00:54:03 Same deal. Critory. Yep. Was he an Avenger? There's a lot of characters to go through. So, Beast was not. Son of a bitch. Absolutely an Avenger.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Yeah. He had a lung tenure in the Avengers, too, when he was blue. Yeah. Damn it. Okay. All right. Next up, we have Jessica Jones. This is why it's a problem to be a D.C. focused guy or most of your life. Jessica Jones.
Starting point is 00:54:34 I'm going to say, no. She wasn't. Correct. She was never an event. She was always in the, what's the Hell's Kitchen people? Marvel Knights. But also, would she have her? Oh.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Yeah, defenders. Defenders. Yeah, but she was also Marvel Nights. There was, uh, and she, whatever, her alter ego was almost an Avenger, though. Yeah. Um, I can't think of what it was. Seres. No, sir.
Starting point is 00:55:00 I always like that a lot of those people are just their names. You know? It's like, it doesn't have to be. Right. Nightcrawler or freaking daredevil. She's just like, I'm Jessica Jones. Right. It's just my name.
Starting point is 00:55:15 There's some, there's some, uh, Jewel. That was it. Thank you, Dr. Calhoun. There's some disagreement that she was a new Avenger in the... I'm going by the list on Wikipedia, and if it didn't list new Avengers, I don't know. Let me tell you something about Wikipedia. It is now the only reliable place to go on the internet. Everything else is wrong now.
Starting point is 00:55:36 It's all flipped. Yeah. The rest is nonsense. Anyway, continue. All right. So you're one for two. Our next one here is Grifter. Grifter?
Starting point is 00:55:46 Grifter was Grifter an Avenger And you're not These are tricks like hey That's something from image or something like that right Like it's like it Oh shit I'm gonna say no
Starting point is 00:56:00 Oh Grifter was the character for an image With the bandana over his face Oh it is that guy with the two guns That's why I thought of that You both got a two gun Bandana wearing character Yeah it was an old Jim Lee character
Starting point is 00:56:17 When they first move over there I have an action figure of him over there. I liked that stuff. Yeah, the Wildstorm was really good. It wasn't bad, yeah. Scott's two for three. Got two more to go. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Moon Dragon. I'm going to say yes. I don't know who that is. Who is that? Bald, bald-headed lady, green costume. What does she do? She must... I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Tell aidesis or something. Yeah. The bad guys have a dragon. She moons it. That's right. Exactly. I like that. That's good.
Starting point is 00:57:01 All right. Okay. And our final one for you, Scott, Wolverine. Yes. Oh, really? Never listed as an Avenger. According to my list, he was never listed as an Avenger. Hold on a minute.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Oh, he was part of the new Fantastic Four. I sweared you I've read Avenger comics that had Wolverine in it. And part of the conversation around the Avengers movies was like, oh man, they can't use Wolverine because he's part of Fox owns it. Yeah. New Avengers. It was the subteam with
Starting point is 00:57:33 that went against the Dark Avengers with Dockin. Yeah. Shit. Avengers is not New Avengers, folks. I'm an idiot. They're two different teams. So close. I'm just naive. I really thought that was just normal Avengers when I read it.
Starting point is 00:57:51 I probably read a comic that said New Avengers on the front. Yeah. And thought I was just reading Avengers. That's the level of Marvel fan. It was the one that Harry Osborne. It was the one that Harry Osborne created the Dark Avengers to model against was the new Avengers because they had a parallel of everybody. Like Century was your or was Century part of the New Avengers, right?
Starting point is 00:58:12 He was actually part of the Dark Avengers. Yeah. I think both actually at some point. Yeah. It's hard to keep track half the time. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:19 And Scott, don't feel bad. I will probably at some point do Justice League members or some. DC's thing. Thank you. It would be fair. Yeah. I almost did. But when I was looking first glance, I'm like, come on, it's Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern. Like, these are all going to be really easy. So, yeah, I got to dig a little deeper for that. Are there how many more? Give me Matter Eater lad. When would that time comes, make sure Matter Eater lad is in my list. That's a good point. Justice League. But then you've got your, um, there, there's so many of those teams that are very similar in DC that that would screw me up.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Pretty tricky over there too. And I'm not even sure I would fare that much better. But anything GLA related, I think I'd be okay. I don't know. Well, there you go. So that was it, right? No, we got one more. One more, sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Yeah. Because we have five rounds. We're going to play it out. Yep. Because the schedule demands it. So our fifth round is a Scott round to start. Okay. We're doing the pinpoint challenge again.
Starting point is 00:59:21 What I'm going to do is I'm going to give you the Top 10 best-selling albums of 1991. Okay. In no particular order. Yeah. What I want you to do is guess as close as you can to which one was number four on that list. Oh, my gosh. I love it.
Starting point is 00:59:38 The most average score anyone could ever hope for. That's so fantastic. All right. Okay. So Scott, you'll start and then Brian, you'll get a guess as well. And whoever's closer wins the round. So here are the 10 albums that sold the most copies. According to, I think it was best, like top albums.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Albumsales.org. That's the site I found. All right. Because looking up things like Wikipedia, it just did the billboard list. That didn't tell me. There was too much math to do there. So on this list here were the top 10 selling albums of 1991. We had Pearl Jam 10.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Genesis, We Can't Dance. Nirvana, never mind. Yeah. Michael Jackson, dangerous. Okay. You two, Octung Baby. Oh. Queen, greatest hits two.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Okay. Garth Brooks, Rope in the Wind. Okay. Metallica's Black album. Okay. And then Guns and Roses, Use Your Illusion One and Two. Wow, what a lineup. Jeez.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Any of these could be number one. Maybe not the Genesis one, but. All right. It was the greatest hits album, The We Can't Dance, if I remember correctly. Can you give me the, what was the year? 91. No, it wasn't.
Starting point is 01:00:49 It was their, that was their last studio album. album with the... And this is all of 91? According to the list, this was all of 91. These were the top selling albums of 1991. That was what I searched for. So they're looking back in 92 going that, those were the numbers. All right.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Probably, yeah. I'm going to say, I'm going to say that Queen greatest hits thing was number four. Okay. So Scott's guess is Queen greatest hits. Brian, do you have a guess? I'm thinking, thinking Rope in the Wind was number one. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:25 I know I don't I know that's irrelevant. I'm going to say, I'm going to say it's either 10 or never mind. I'm going to say it's never mind was number four. Nevermind was number four. The correct answer is queen greatest hits to. Whoa. Good job. Complete guess, but it just felt like a thing you would say in 91 like,
Starting point is 01:01:48 oh, can you believe queens in the top 10 with their greatest hits? Yeah, they're all the way up to number four. Like that just felt right for some reason. Wow. Wow. That's impressive. Jeez. That's real good. So according to this list, just to give you an idea, Metallica's Black album was number one with 33 million copies.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Wow. I would have said, actually, what were our guesses for first? Just for fun here. I would have said, Brian guessed Garth Broke's Rope in the Wind. All right. Brian said number one already. That was number 10, actually. Oh, really? That was the worst of the batch. Wow. I guess it was no...
Starting point is 01:02:21 The bottom there. Yeah, it was no what of the first album was that he released, was massive, the Friends in Low Places and stuff on there. I would have fought the Pearl Jam 10 album, but I don't know. That was number six. Nirvana's was number two. So, never mind. So what was number one? Number one was Metallica.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Oh, you already said, that's right. We also had Michael Jackson was number three. Okay, dangerous, you know. Yep. And then Queen number four, U2 number five. Okay. I mentioned Pearl Jamby and number six. Genesis was number seven with We Can't Dance.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Not bad. But it was according to this, basically the same amount, 15 million. And then both G&R albums were 15 million. Jeez. Wow. At number eight and nine. But to have two albums come out in that year and both of them sell like that is crazy. Hey kids at home, we used to go buy these records.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Yeah. Yeah. It was great. We'd buy a CD around this time. Oh yeah. No fences. Thank you, Dargan. The big Darth Brooks album, No Fences.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Oh, right. This is far. I just opened my chat. Says, this is far. Can war, says, wait, Scott, use stupid ESP to get the answer? What does that mean? You're talking to ESP. Isn't that like use your brain to do it?
Starting point is 01:03:37 Or use your brain powers? You're mentally connected to. I don't know what that means. I'm not sure. I used logic is what I used. I don't think that's ESP. Well, anyway, awesome. So wait, where'd we end up?
Starting point is 01:03:51 So that brought us to Brian Wins 3 to 2. Nice. Done going. Thanks. I do feel good about that last thing, but other than that. You should. That was great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Yeah. Oh, definitely. All right. But yeah, that puts Scott, you're still in the lead, but now the, you know, it's narrowed. We've closed the gap, right? His follow up is whatever wizard. Is that what Tony Stark says to Dr. Strange in one of the, Probably.
Starting point is 01:04:22 End game. Whatever, wizard. Feels like it. Yeah, whatever wizard. Oh, man. I'm so excited for, what is it, October. We're getting our two big movies of the year. When is it?
Starting point is 01:04:33 Yeah. No, it's November. December. Oh, I don't want to wait that long. But don't worry. In July, we get Spider-Man brand-new day. Come on. That's true.
Starting point is 01:04:42 That'll hold us over. Yeah. There's some really fun stuff coming up. Yeah. What are you most excited for? Mandalorian and Grogu coming up in two days. Mays. Mandelorian and Grogu,
Starting point is 01:04:53 I actually am excited for Masters of the Universe. I think that and Street Fighter both look like they understand the assignment. Yeah. Yeah. Of what you want from that. When I asked if she wanted to see Masters of the Universe, she shrugged. And so I'm taking that as a yes, and I'm going to pre-buy buy my tickets.
Starting point is 01:05:10 I've got to figure out when we're going to see it. But yeah. Real quick check on scores. The reviews have started to roll in for Mandalorian and Grogu. Oh, really? This early. 61% that's 77 critic reviews.
Starting point is 01:05:23 No audience reviews yet. Okay. Not bad. Not bad. Probably higher than solo and... Oh, for sure, solo, yeah. Yeah. I'm sure about the others. I think it probably...
Starting point is 01:05:36 Here's my guess. It'll be a good romp. Yes. Star Wars fun, lots of fan service. It'll be great. That's what I'm looking for. It's the same with Street Fighters. The same with Masters of the Universe.
Starting point is 01:05:46 I'm looking for fun. Because you got Dune 3. That's going to be... Amazing. And I'm actually really excited for, after watching the trailer, the Resident Evil movie from Zach Krieger. 100% dude. Oh, I need to see the trailer for that. Oh, Brian, I'm telling it.
Starting point is 01:06:01 So this guy, Zach Krieger's been begging to take it over for years. He's a massive fan. He's played through this new one Requiem like three or four times. He loves the series. It's cool. So he's making, and it's set around the time of the Raccoon City breakout in the 90s. Oh, okay. Just a different whole separate character.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Pre-first game. No, this would be around the second game. So, yeah. While Leon S. Kennedy's doing his police rookie business, this is happening in a whole other part of town. Okay. And it's with the kid from weapons who was like the drug addict. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:34 He's from Euphoria season one and two. He's really good. Oh, cool. I'm stoked. I am too. I'm so excited. After seeing weapons, I'm just like, all right, let's see what you got, Zach. Some people are being weird.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Like, where's Leon's? Like, dude, go play the games. That's where those characters. are. I don't want to, I don't, I don't need that. This is, I love the idea of setting this during the events of a game, but not being an adaptation direct of the game. Right. Let's tell a story that's happening in that world. Yeah, and you'll have a couple of little Easter eggs and everyone will be fine. Sure. Calm down. Yeah. No, that's going to be, it's going to be super fun. And in preparation for it, I'm going to be watching the most recent one, Welcome to Raccoon City this week for my
Starting point is 01:07:18 next episode of Wait, you haven't seen. Oh, nice. My friend Miles has decided that he has to indoctrinate everybody to that movie. So we'll see how it goes. I've heard good things. Never saw it. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll see it.
Starting point is 01:07:32 That's outside the Milledjovich stuff, right? Yes, that was its own thing. It's a little separate deal. A couple of years ago. Animated, right? Do we watch any of those for Filmsack? Oh, the... Resident Evil Milojovich deals?
Starting point is 01:07:44 I know at least one. Did we watch the first one? We might have. because I remember you having the conversation about the hallway with the laser. Yeah, that comes up a lot. I wonder if that's... Right.
Starting point is 01:07:56 Ah, shit, we must have done it. If we haven't, we really need to. It would be done if we haven't seen at least one. I think you're right. Because I know I haven't... I know I've seen one of them and I wouldn't have watched it for any other reason. Yeah, in film set.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Yeah, they're not... I mean, there's some fun to be had in those, but there's... Sure. It's not that. Like, if people want to complain, about those. Don't complain about a thing that's not out yet. I'm just still a little stinging from all the internet reaction to Krieger's first trailer. It just pissed me off. Because people are like, where's Leon? Where's this? Where's that?
Starting point is 01:08:28 Like, shut up and wait for a movie to come out before you all launch your judgment at it. Ah, F the internet. What am I even talking about it now for? I'm with you. 100%. Nonsense. All right. Hey, tell people where to go for more Travis in their life. Yeah, TVsTravist.com has links to everything, including the new season of 24 FPS is finally out. Everybody was Kung Fu fighting. Stephen and I had so much fun going through a dozen
Starting point is 01:08:53 different martial arts movies from all the legends. We got Jackie Chan, Jet Lee, Donnie Yen. It's so much fun to go through. We did a Bruce Lee. We started with a Bruce Lee movie, although because of streaming, the movie we watched was Game of Death, which Bruce Lee is in for like 20 minutes. And the rest of
Starting point is 01:09:11 the movie, it's a different thing. Because they filmed his scenes, then he died, and then they They put the movie out a couple years later, but they re-shot a bunch of the beginning of it with a different actor. Oh, interesting. But it is the one where he fights,
Starting point is 01:09:25 it's the iconic yellow jumpsuit at the end, and he fights Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Oh, yeah. And all that. That was fun. And like just even going to more modern things like the raid or the protector, which I know the protector is like 20 years old,
Starting point is 01:09:40 but it's much more modern than a Bruce Lee film. So it was a lot of fun to see the differences in, kung fu action films throughout the years and the different actors to them as well we're pretty sure we're locked in on enter the dragon for our film sack live and nerdacular right now so speaking of the kung fu business yeah we're going to the o g not the o g but like the one people think of the classics though yeah oh yeah certainly yeah definitely did randy confirm that it's streaming because it's started from from Travis like it may not be well that's a good point it might have been it might not
Starting point is 01:10:14 been when I look because we started recording a while back. We might, we've had nerdtaculars in the past where nothing was streaming and we still did it because it was kind of more perfect. We may do that here. I don't know. It's such a classic that it's, I don't know. We got to decide. Well, Travis, that's awesome. And also, if you do come to Nerdtacular, you get to meet Travis.
Starting point is 01:10:32 You get to see some live shows from Travis. You get to hang out with us and be a part of things. Those tickets are still available at frogpans.com.

Starting point is 01:10:54 2026. Who wouldn't want that? Totally want that. And that's just one of many things in that bag. Oh my gosh. We spared no expense as Dr. Hammond. All right. Travis, have a fantastic time until we see you again. Jokes on you. And we'll see you later. He's into this shit. That's right. Love it. Carter, do you need something? Oh, that's good idea. I'm freezing. Oh, I never heard Carter's announcement. I go back and listen to the Monday show from yesterday.
Starting point is 01:11:21 Oh, we talked. We also talked. Oh, something came up with you. What was it? Oh, really? Oh, then I definitely better listen to all yesterday's Monday. I know what it was. We were talking about if there was only one choice on the day of Doomsday and Dune 3's release.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Oh, yeah. Which they're simul releasing, right? Right. Still makes no sense to me, given the cross. crossover of fandom, but anyway, whatever. If you had to choose one, I was like, well, Brian, we know what you would choose. Easy, simple choice. Yeah. For me, I'm struggling. Like, I think I lean dune. Mm-hmm. Because I, you, you, that is one of your favorites right there. It's one of my favorite books.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Marvel has not done, Marvel's not done you any favors recently, even to the point where you haven't even watched a lot of the more recent stuff. I haven't seen Marvels still, and I haven't seen. Eternal, Marvels. Any of the Oles. Daredevil born again The Punisher one shot just came out Oh yeah Thor 11thunder 11th thunder 11 bullshit whatever Yeah
Starting point is 01:12:20 I should just watch it I don't know my problem You should just watch it There's fun stuff Just watch them all Why am I not doing that? Yeah You know what I am gonna do it
Starting point is 01:12:27 Before Doomsday And here's the good news Well definitely do that Here's the good news I don't have to gun to my head choose Anyway I can see I can pick You can see both that same day
Starting point is 01:12:35 Right oh yeah exactly I make a whole weird Saturday out of it Exactly Quite literally Because with trailers and everything else plus probably a three hour close to runtime for Dune. Like I, it is all.
Starting point is 01:12:49 It's, oh, that's going to be horrendous. Yeah. I'm going to eat and poo in that place. That's how that's going to go. All right. Moving on, let's get out of here. We're going to take our leave, but don't worry. We'll be back tomorrow with more.
Starting point is 01:13:02 It'll be Wednesday. It'll be Tom and all that. A reminder about shows today at 1 p.m. There is a resident, speaking of Resident Evil 9, John and I pick up with part six, I think it is, or seven of that playthrough. We'll be doing that live today at 1 p.m. right here on the live channels. And you can find more at frogpants.com slash schedule. But if you want to watch that live show up for it, if not, that's okay because it will all go up on YouTube as well,
Starting point is 01:13:27 as well as a big mash-up cut and all the stuff we do every week. So watch for that. Brian, do you have a song we could play for these people? I do have a song. It's a request from Sunglow Steve. Dear Seizened Hand and Bygone Days Oh, all right I was distressed to hear Collective Soul
Starting point is 01:13:46 on classic rock radio today and I thought I'd share the pain Apparently not a fan Dolly Parton's version of Shine Would be great to hear for the triple whammy Since her cover was over 25 years ago If you have an even more malicious cover Of Collective Soul, I'd be most appreciative
Starting point is 01:14:00 Feeling old though, Sunglow Steve, Three words, Statue-esque Steadfast Smoke Oh, you know, you got the rule You got the rule. You've understood the assignment. Three words. Exactly. Love it.
Starting point is 01:14:12 You know, we've played, I think I've played the Dolly Parton version before. And if I haven't, people have heard it. They don't need to hear it again. So let's go with the Holmes brothers. It's equally malicious. And it's a bluegrassy cover of Collective Soul, which I like, but Collective Soul probably wouldn't like to hear their song covered in Bluegrass. This is from the 2004 album.
Starting point is 01:14:37 simple truths. Here is the Holmes Brothers and Shine. Thanks for listening. The Frogpants Network lives at frogpans.com. Mmm, wet beard.
