Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS.
Starting point is 00:01:22 It is the morning stream for, what is today's date? June 1st. June 1st. Welcome to a brand new month. That's a crazy thing to read out loud. I can't believe June is already here. Yeah. In 11 mere days, we will all be.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Well, many of us will be hanging out together. I look forward to it. Yes. I need this cold to leave my system. Can I opt out of updates? Yes. Opt out of countdowns, please. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:49 You can opt out of countdowns. Until I get more finished with the thing. It's funny. I joke that it's, I've got everything done. A lot of it just hasn't been assembled in the program that I'm going to use to display it up on the screen. I sent a copy of it to KT Data this morning, who is sworn to secrecy. He will not, this information will not leave his computer.
Starting point is 00:02:19 No. Because he needs to be able to see how to integrate the scoreboard. Because instead of having Tristan and Carter standing up there with PVC pipe, laminated numbers to keep score, or actually I'm going to score a score thing at the bottom of the screen. And going digital folks. Yeah, look at us. Leveling up this year.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Yeah, I'm pretty excited about All-Stars. Always a massive good time. For the first year, there's actually even a logo. Like, I actually made a logo for the game, which it didn't have before. It was just like, for my parents, All-Stars, we're, you know, like, exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:02 I'm excited. It's going to be great. And, you know, things are coming along. We got still a lot to do in the next 11 days, but we'll get it. We got it. Yeah, yeah. We'll make it work. Yeah, I don't even know when I'm going to have time.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I guess, I mean, you know, the drive out there is when I'm going to be working on my, the stuff I'm going to say for film sack because I'm going to have to watch the movie, our film sack movie. Yeah, there's, I haven't even thought about that time thing, that level of what we're going to be doing. Yeah, I've got a, that's kind of where my head's out right now, because now. now we're coming down to the rope where it's like, all right, these specific panels, what am I doing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:40 How am I doing it? When am I going to sneak that in, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think AI is going to have to write my song this year for the Nurtacular. Sweet. It won't be noticeable. No one will notice. And Bruce Lee attacked with a six-fingered hand and doib-dib-dib-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d- The end. Well, anyway, we'll keep you informed as we get closer.
Starting point is 00:04:02 And I don't know what happened. I mean, there's like five, five new tickets sold yesterday, which I don't know who those people are, but it's nice to see a little, a little last second pick up there. A little more movement. Yep. Yeah, I like a good movement, if you know what I mean. Who does it? Speaking of which, we have some information about this year's Smoke Monster.
Starting point is 00:04:18 That's right. Mitzula's back at it with another smoke monster. This is technically Smoke Monster 5. Oh, really? Okay. Kickoff NerdTacular with us at Smoke Monster 5 or V. We decided to go full, you know, Roman numeral here. Sure.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Join the fun on Wednesday, June 10th, from 7 to 11 p.m. Now, this is like unofficial thing. It's not like this isn't compulsory. Also, if you have kids, it won't matter because you can't bring them anyway. It's a 21 and older place. But we have picked a location. It is the Poplar Street pub in Salt Lake City right near the venue. And we've got this whole big back patio area where those who like to pull out a cigar and smoke it at Smoke Monster can do that there.
Starting point is 00:05:03 No problem. They're happy to have us. But also there's a ton of internal seating and other stuff if you want to avoid the smoke part and you just want to come and hang out. You want to be around the people who smoke, but not smoke yourself. Exactly. You don't want that secondhand, baby. And Mizzula is going to do his predictions and all his odds and all that stuff. You must be 21 plus to attend. Bring your IDs. No kids. So don't bring your kids to this thing because there's no option for the kids there. And again, this is the thing that's going to go. go tell, what did I say?
Starting point is 00:05:34 7 to 11 p.m. that night. It's on Wednesday night. I've got some stuff just prior to that with Brian and some others, but then we will pop in there. We'll make our way over there. Definitely be there. So you'll see us there as well. I might have a quarter of a cigar.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I don't smoke a full cigar, but I'll do a little bit of a cigar. I'll hang around it a bit and then I'll feel woozy and then I'll walk in the other room. That's how it goes for me. Yeah. It makes my throat sore the cigar smoking. Like, I mean, I guess I, I can't really compare it to anything else. I've never had a cigarette.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I've never had a doobie. I take that back. I think I did inhale once on a one-hitter in Vegas once. And that made me cough like crazy. And I think that's what made my throat sore. Yeah. What if you get used to that sort of thing if you're a cigar smoker? That kind of wears off over time.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Probably. Probably. I know people who love their cigars, love their cigars. Yes. Yes. So I, you know, whoever's into it, thumbs up to everything. good. You can have the other three-fourths of my cigar. Exactly. You can have the whole one. I'm not smoking. Come in here, dear boy. So if you want to learn more about the venue,
Starting point is 00:06:43 or this place, this pub, it's called Polar Street Pub. It's literally polar. Sorry, Poplar. What am I saying polar? The Polar Street pub. It's all cold inside. No. It's kept at 32 degrees, like those Vegas ice cube bars. Oh, yeah. Those are weird. We almost went in one last time. Almost. Did you? Yeah. We didn't have. have time. I've been in, I think I've been in the one in Vegas, the one in Mandalay Place at the, you know, the, the set of restaurants and things that go from the Luxor to Mandalay. It's like a little, a tunnel. Or not really a tunnel, skyway that goes between the two hotels and there's a place called 32 degrees in there. I went in there once and it was exactly what you, it's cool. Literally, it's cool. Literally cool. But they give you a parka. And if you do a shop, and if you do a shot, which I did. It comes in an ice cube shot glass.
Starting point is 00:07:38 So, you know, the glass is ice? The glass is ice, yeah. So they pull it out of a mold and pour a shot in there, which was nice. That was, you know, I like my shots cold. So that's good.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Yeah. I had ice, ice baby playing on repeat over the speech. On repeat, yes. And cold is ice by foreigner. And, uh, um,
Starting point is 00:07:58 it's another ice one. Uh, cold-hearted snake by Paul Abdul and there you go frozen by Madonna yeah and um
Starting point is 00:08:07 uh oh that's all I can come up with yeah it's then just some ice cube and uh ice cube it's right yeah um well anyway the good news is still blind by counting crows there's a ton of them
Starting point is 00:08:21 popular street pub.com you can just learn about it if you're curious about the place and details on the nertacular frog pants discord in the nertacular channel so uh go read up more about what Mitzoula's got planned in there. Okay, so there's that. Let's get to other stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:39 What did you get up to since we last week? You know, last week on the last regular show of the week because we had a play date, I went out to trivia on Thursday night with Mac Attic, 89. He is a local Vermonter, and so he met me out at the J-Cat, the Jericho Cafe and Tavern. But people in the know call it the J-Cat. and we took over a little corner of it, I mean, took over.
Starting point is 00:09:05 We had a table, the wobbliest damn table, like that table almost cost me two or three dollars in a bourbon Manhattan or Rye Manhattan every time one of us moved because it would shake the table so much. You had to figure how much was going to slosh out of the side of the glass. But we ended up, that was a tough night. and there were also a ton of teams, none of which were two people. It was all like six. I think it was like two eight person teams out there as well. But we held our own and I think we ended up with fourth place.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And the poor guy, you know, Nate, AK Mac Attic, 89, was so bored, I think. Was he? He didn't like it? I don't know if he was or not. He didn't say he was. And I'm purely just basing it on like on body language and stuff. But here's how it would go. The question would come out.
Starting point is 00:10:08 And not to brag, but I would usually say, oh, okay, yeah, I think that's this. And I'd show him the answer and say, do you agree? Is that, do you think so too? And he's like, yeah. Or if I say, ooh, I don't know. He got any ideas on this one. A couple times he had it. And he actually had the right answer.
Starting point is 00:10:22 And we plugged it in. But it's a lot of, oh, yeah, okay, here. And then, you know, we turn in the answers and, and then, you know, it's like, well, that was a quick five seconds of activity. And then nothing until the next. There's no discussion of the questions or things like that. We talked about other things, of course, but about Vermont and motorcycles and things like that. But, yeah, poor guy. I think, and I'm probably, you know, he's not here to say, but I don't.
Starting point is 00:10:58 don't know if he was bored, but I could imagine he was. And it's one of the reasons that I don't, like, if somebody's coming to town and it happens to be on a trivia night, I'll invite you to trivia. If you, if you're into it, if you're into trivia, but if you're not, man, I feel like it's got to be the most boring thing ever. Yeah, if you're into it, you're probably over the moon. I'm probably stoked. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I get it. But, you know, like when getting together with the neighbors here, dad's like, oh, yeah, you know, so-and-so really wants to hang out with you if you get a chance to go have a drink. And I'm like, oh, well, I could invite him to trivia, but I think you'd be getting bored out of his mind. Wouldn't enjoy that, eh?
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah, exactly. Well, that's cool, though. Mac Attic's been around forever, our community. He has, and he's super nice guy, really, really nice guy. Yeah. And now he knows some trivia he didn't know before. That's the important thing. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I actually helped come up with one of the, questions you guys are going to be asked in uh frog pants all stars so oh really yeah yeah i wonder all i was got to ask you how much of that stuff crosses over once in a while like you'll hear on it you know one of the questions you create for that yeah do you suddenly hear that on a thursday night trivia thing um i might i mean the um when i go and play trivia i i usually have a little little booklet yeah this is a a wordpress booklet and um i will write down, because you don't want to have your phones out if it's not a phone game, I will, because often when you're hearing trivia questions and you're thinking about it, you come up
Starting point is 00:12:35 with ideas for your own trivia questions. And so I write that in here and then, and then use it for trivia questions later on. So that's going with me tonight, tomorrow night, to the two games. And then there's a book of trivia that I brought on this trip that, that has some stuff again it's the the questions don't necessarily come right from the book but they come from thinking about the the answers in the book if that makes sense oh i see yeah that little booklet sorry just curiosity here yeah that's what is that like how to use oh it's just big ideas start it's an empty it's an empty i'll show you the back pages there we go let's get past where there's any writing yeah looks like that oh all right yeah like a little sketchpad notebook whatever
Starting point is 00:13:26 Perfect. Exactly. And it's the perfect size for a pocket. And yeah, I really like this. I want to make some coverville ones or something. Pretty cool. It's got a really nice cover too, like the really good cardstock cover. Nice job, WordPress. You did it. You did it. I probably got that at a Mac World or something, like some trade show where they were at or podcast expo. Most likely podcast expo. Sure. Well, guys, let's. speaking of trivia and speaking of great minds. Yes. Whether they think alike or not.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Let's find out with this guy. Yes, it's that time again for us to play a little trivia. And we do it with our old pal. Brian Dunaway, joins us now on the line. Hello. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hey, man. Hey, oh, it's only a week and a half.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Oh, wow. Touch your faces. I forgot to warn him that Brian Abbott is now, he's on the immunity list. He's opted out of all updates. I don't want to know how many days it is until. Oh, apologies. I didn't get, I didn't get the memo.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Yeah. So it's eight days. No, I'm just kidding. It's this weekend. More than eight days. Thankfully, yes. Hey, it's good to be here, man. Always a pleasure.
Starting point is 00:14:48 You're going to be gone this Wednesday. So we're going to really juice you today for all we can get. Yeah. Don't juice the Brian. No. Don't wheeze the juice. I'm excited for you. One of you guys do really well today because I did not bring my
Starting point is 00:15:00 tie breaker questions. Oh, okay. One of us is going to dominate, Brian. If there's a tie, then I will have ways. We'll be sure to answer all three every time, so we'll end up in a zero-zero-zero tie.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Oh, good. Let's hope that's the case. Let's hope it is. Speaking of which, Brian, will you please explain to us how this game works so we know what to do? Okay. Welcome to the morning. Half As is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you the answers.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I'm going to give Scott and Brian and Keoggi-Gui. and six possible answers, three of which are correct, and three like my pronunciation of Kaguay are incorrect, depending on how confident you feel with the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you get any of those guesses wrong, it doesn't matter. You get nothing.
Starting point is 00:15:42 You get one wrong, you get two wrong, you're three. Guess what? Same point value. Zero. If you get one right, you get a point. Two right gets you three points. Three right gets you five points. We're going to add up all those points at the end,
Starting point is 00:15:54 and you're going to win a prize for your contestant. We've pulled contestants. for members of the tadpool that aren't able to be here live. No, they're not. They could be here live. We don't care. They just support us on Patreon. That's all we care about.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Scott, you're playing for Mike Andrews Jr. Sweet. His dad was kind of a dick, but I really like Junior. And who knows about Mike Andrews the third. Yeah. And Brian, you're playing for Colby Preston. Oh, that's an awesome name. It's like two names from the local kindergarten.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Colby, Preston, get over here. It is exactly that. They're two little kids in the same class. Oh, I love it. Mike Andrews Jr. is their teacher. That's right. Anyway, that's great. These are fine human beings.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I can't wait to play for them equally. Excellent. Well, you are going to do that right now. Your first question is music. Oh, we love music. Which of these bands or artists? I'm sorry, not, yeah, bands or artists played at Woodstock. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:16:49 We're, you know, Woodstock anniversaries coming up here at the end of July. Yeah. What, 1969? So that's going to be, well, it's the same. It's like two. How many days that is or you've got a moratorium on that one. Yeah, moratorium on that too. I don't want to know how many days until the,
Starting point is 00:17:03 I don't want to know how many days until people are rassling on the White House line. Rastling. All right, here we go. Here's your list. The Doors, the Who, Jefferson Airplane, Janice Joplin, Joni Mitchell and the Rolling Stones. Three of these people or bands performed at Woodstock. Three of them did not.
Starting point is 00:17:22 You could have just told me, all six of these people played at Woodstock. And I would have been, yeah, that's not. right. It does sound right, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. They're all, yeah. I am sure of one of these and kind of sure of another and that's, I know why you're sure of one of them and we'll talk about that. Yeah. Okay. The rest of this, I don't know. I'm unsure about all of them and I'll just click on those two. Notice a real, a real lack of Hendricks on this. You know, I'm just, yeah, of course. This really shows our very, I mean, we are just a few years apart in age, but is, is those few years that makes Woodstock really stand out in you guys' minds and not mine.
Starting point is 00:18:01 That's how close we are in age. Well, I mean, this is like a year or two. I was what, like a month old? Yeah. I know, but people were two weeks old. And I was just about to be born. Yeah, you were still in your mom's belly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Right. No, you're right. And my mom loves to tell people that if she weren't pregnant, she would have gone to Woodstock. She had an invite to go to Woodstock and be. She was pregnant with me. She didn't go. She missed the concert of the century because of me. And the nice one of all the Woodstock.
Starting point is 00:18:33 The rest of them were kind of dickish, lame-o. Oh, God, totally. All right, you guys both settled on Janice Joplin. Yeah, she sang her. Me and Bobby McGee at Woodstock. Very good. No. I've seen that a lot.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Scott chose Jefferson Airplane, who notoriously warned people not to take the brown acid. Oh, okay. saying, do not take the brown acid. Yeah. So Scott got that one correct. Joni Mitchell, who neither of you selected. The other.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Didn't make it to Woodstock. She couldn't. And so she gave her song Woodstock. She had written a song called Woodstock, and she gave it to Crosby Stills and Ash who performed it at Woodstock and turned it into a rock song. She had more of his folk song. and um typical jones michael typical typical for her she was always doing that she was uh she the reason she couldn't be on it was she was going to be on a talk show and i want to say it was like the
Starting point is 00:19:33 wasn't the wasn't the tonight might have been the tonight show oh that's kind of a big gig it's a big deal yeah yeah that would be a big deal uh brian settled on the doors the doors did not no play the who played uh woodstock but not the door I was close to choosing the Who as well. For some reason, I got real bunged up on the Triple J here, the Jefferson, the Janice, and the Joni. And I almost chose Joni just because I thought maybe you were doing like one of these little patterns. And it sounded plausible. Sure.
Starting point is 00:20:05 So I didn't do it. But I didn't do it. But, yeah. Dick Cavett. I think that's right, Domo. I think it was Dick Cabot. She was going to be. Cabot was massive in the 60s.
Starting point is 00:20:12 He was the place to be. Yeah. Thank you very much, Domo. He's still with us. He's still with us. He's still with us. Ambassador Domo? Yeah, he just typed in the channel.
Starting point is 00:20:20 It's right there. He said, Dick Kevin. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know if Dick Kevin still. I hope he's still around. I really like that guy. He lives.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yeah, I'm sorry. Very dry. Yeah, he's 89. He's pushing 90. All right. So he's still with us. Good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I like that guy. All right. Well, you did pretty well at music. Let's see how you do with art. Scott, you're talking about how you took art history class. Let's see how well you do with this one. Types of soup in Andy Warhol's 1962 Campbell's soup cans. We all remember.
Starting point is 00:20:50 I should know this. That piece of art with the Campbell soup cans. What kinds of soup were they? You know, I never looked at close. I know. Chicken and stars. Mushroom and barley.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Cream of potato, tomato rice, turkey noodle and bean with bacon. My parents had all these in the pantry. I can tell you. In the fridge. Come on, in the fridge. All right. You're not supposed to put the, like, can things in the fridge, right?
Starting point is 00:21:22 Like, people open them and then stick them in their fridge. You're not supposed to do that. It doesn't matter with Kansas soup, but it's kind of useless. They're totally fine just on the shelf. I know there's like straight tomato on that thing because that's the famous one, but that's not on this list.
Starting point is 00:21:40 That's how this works. You never gives this the easy ones. I'm going to just try to wing it. Let's see. I'm going to wing it. That seems artistic. We'll try that one.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I don't know. All right. Brian, you're going to lock it in? There we go. Okay. You guys both locked in on two each and no overlap. So we'll just kind of go down the line here. Scott, you went tomato rice.
Starting point is 00:22:07 In lieu of tomato, you decided tomato rice was going to be your alternate. I'm scared. Well, you shouldn't be. Tomato rice was one of the cans of soup. Brian, you chose bean. with bacon. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Gross. Zoe is very happy that you made that choice. Well, anytime there's a bacon choice, I'm choosing it. Right or wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Doesn't matter. And that's, you know, that's a good, that's like your, what, Navy beans with bacon or something, I think is the kind of bean.
Starting point is 00:22:36 It's not going to be Pinto. Black beans with bacon. So, yeah, actually bean with bacon is another one that was those cans. Now, this is where you guys
Starting point is 00:22:48 each chose another one, one of which, at least one of which has to be wrong, right? It feels like chicken of stars, like something that they came up with in the last 20 years. It's way too new. Yeah, it feels like a 90s thing, right? And neither of you chose it, so that's a good thing. Yeah. One of these last two, at least one of these last two has to be wrong.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Let's start with Scott. Mushroom and barley. Yeah. Sounds delicious, doesn't it? It does actually sound good. Yeah. It is not. It is not one of the ones.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Brian chose cream of potato. And that also not. Also not correct. Turkey noodle was the other one. Almost went with turkey noodle. I was an all right cider. Dang it. It was an all right cider.
Starting point is 00:23:30 There's a ton of them on there, right? Like other ones? I don't know. If you asked me before I put this question in, I would have said they were all tomato. I didn't think you did different flavors. I seriously, I seriously just remember tomato. I've seen it a million times and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:23:46 oh, neat. And I've never like dug in. And that's a shame. I need to dig in. Yeah. Dig into that war hall, baby. Get it. Well, last question.
Starting point is 00:23:56 And we're going to stay in the food world here. Let's talk about McDonald's and their chicken nuggets. Did you know that their chicken nuggets are formed into a few official shapes? What are the nicknames for those shapes called? Your choices are boot, brick, bean, ball, bone, and bell. Going with the bees. Three of these. Would you get into the dictionary or something there?
Starting point is 00:24:23 Would you happen? Beats, Bears, and Battlestar Galactica. If you just had a made brick of four-letter word, you would have had all four-letter B words. That's too bad. All the bees. All the Bs. I'm going to go with that. I've got to go all out.
Starting point is 00:24:39 And I'm going to go with balls. There we go. All right. Okay. With balls. All right. Okay. Let's start.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Okay. Okay. You guys are stupid. You each chose three. And let's start with you only overlapped on one. Oh, okay. All right, we're going to start with that one,
Starting point is 00:25:04 the one you guys both overlapped with. All right. You both chose bone. Bone. There is no bone shape to chicken nuggets. But there was really no way, like whichever one of these I did first was going to tell who won and who lost.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah. Scott did pretty well. Boot and Bell are correct. Bone is wrong. Brian shows all three of the wrong ones. Bean, broken bone. Can I at least get a point for that?
Starting point is 00:25:33 Can I just get... I do not remember ball. This is a thing I... Ball is the perfectly circular, perfectly round shape. We know what a ball is. Well, I'm saying that there's... That there's is like a...
Starting point is 00:25:46 There's an attempt. It really is more like a disc. Yeah. There's an attempt there. But I swear this is a thing that came up on the show. It has. We've talked about it before, yeah. So I was so confident in my three.
Starting point is 00:25:55 I don't know if you saw how fast I chose my three. You did. You went very fast today. You remember boot and bell, and then you hesitate it, and then you selected bone and locked it in. Damn, I think this is, this has voted well for you today. I know she locked in quick on all of them. Yeah, these were all not too bad from you.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Yeah. I feel like it makes me feel smart, but I think it just happened to be three questions that I did. But I'll take the three points. means that Brian doesn't have to do a tiebreaker. Fantastic. That's right. Scott, that means that Mike Andrews Jr. wins the prizes today.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Nice. Nice. And what he's won is a copy of Peky Blinder's mastermind. This is cool. This is, I picked this one out myself. This is made by the same people who made Tomb Raider go, if I remember correctly.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Yeah, it's good. It is really good. As well as a copy of Fantasy versus. That I don't know. I'm sure it's good. U.S. Not, yeah, exactly. not fantasy verses like, I'm going to compose some fantasy verses,
Starting point is 00:26:53 but more like fantasy versus like something else that is unlisted. Throw a coin to your witcher. See, that's a fantasy verse right there. That's right. But don't worry, Kobe Preston, you're getting, there you go. You're getting a copy of guts and glory. All these, courtesy of Sun Bun. Thank you, Sun Bun for some of these games.
Starting point is 00:27:11 And the very rare bone chicken McNugget. That's right. If you ever find the bone chicken, if you find a bone in your chicken McNuggets, you got a whole other issue because this is not real like straight chicken anyway. I think the reason why I thought that was because I've gotten, you know, like conjoined nuggets before and they look bone-like. So I just thought maybe that was just a thing. Yep. Your girlfriend said your conjoined nuggets are bone-like, she says.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you put four boot nuggets together, you can make one big bone nugget. One bone nugget. You're such a bone nugget. That's a great way. That's a great insult. It's a great insult. It's a great insult.
Starting point is 00:27:43 It is. I'm going to start using it. That's fantastic. You don't even exist. Well, watch for your PMs over there on your Patreon. You'll get these codes from me directly today. And we're grateful that you played for us. Now, that also is the end of people who said, yes, I want to play.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I think maybe there's one guy, but we don't have a pair for Wednesday. So before Wednesday, I'll be putting up a new survey on the Patreon saying, hey, everybody, even if you've won before, fill up my list. There you go. And then we'll get it again. Yeah, you can get it again. And if you're not a patron already, then now's a. great time to do that because you can
Starting point is 00:28:18 you can get on the list. Sign up today. Patreon.com slash TMS and sign up today. And I'll let that list run in perpetuity but I will at some point end it because you know that it starts to get weird but that'll be the plan. Hey Donaway having you on is sure fun.
Starting point is 00:28:35 What do you got going on? You're going on a vacation this we're going to go to the beach. Yeah, I'm taking a little trip, taking a break from Play Retro and the 8-bit computer club and going to go just sit on the beach and I just wish I was at home. That sounds amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:49 I love the beach. Actually, I love the beach. I love playing in the sand and just, you know, it's just relaxing. The wind's blowing constantly. How do you get, how do you get that? How do you get that? He doesn't wear one. That's the trick.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Oh, yeah, I don't. I ain't realize that was an option. Okay, I'll remember that. You go to bottom beaches? Every time. Every time. We go to no bottom beaches. Everybody Donald ducks.
Starting point is 00:29:14 It's that a thing? Do you think? Is there a place where you could, go. I know there's nude beaches, but yeah. Yeah, yeah, but there's not going to be like bottom, no bottoms, but you must wear a top. Okay, yeah, that's I was wondering. That'd be weird. That'd be too weird.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Well, I mean, clothing optional, clothing optional beaches means you could choose to wear a shirt and no pants. I think it's a good idea. Because, yeah. Typically, you get burned on your shoulders in your upper area. So it makes sense, yeah, you know, cover your top. Yeah, nobody wants to get burned on their upper area.
Starting point is 00:29:42 No, I mean, there's other areas. I don't want to get burned. And those usually involve me keeping my shorts on. Thank you very much. I got a little sunburn yesterday at the park. I didn't plan on it, but I must have been facing the sun and my right thigh is like a hot mess. Oh, no. Yeah. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:29:59 A little cream will do it. It'll take care of it. A little aloe. Yeah, a little aloe. A little bone nugget. Yeah, little bone nugget. Brian Donaway, I would like you to do two things. Stay out of trouble and then secondly kiss our butts and also see you soon.
Starting point is 00:30:13 All right, bye. He's out of here. Cool. that was a fun game. Thank you all very much. And I am looking forward to the new neatness you've been working on. I know you've been working on for a while. Yeah, I need to get with Al-Kabab to see how things are going with what I described.
Starting point is 00:30:32 If he's able to create a screen that'll support it. The good news is I can do it without that screen if I need to while we get things worked out. Well, I'm looking forward to it. Clearly there's going to be some neat stuff coming. So watch for that. Will the name change, do you think? Yes. Is it going to still have a Monday name?
Starting point is 00:30:53 There won't be a half component. So the asses will still be there, but it won't be a half component. It'll just be Monday full asses. Full asses. Yeah, that's a good question. I hadn't even thought about what the name of the game could be. I like full asses. Full asses.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Can't lose or whatever. What's the Friday Night's thing? Full hearts, clear minds, can't lose or whatever it is. Yeah, they'll smack the thing as they would go out the door. Or I may mix. Ted Lassow. You think Ted Lassow believe, yeah. I think there was two, I think there was something there where they smacked something.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I think they did, they put their hands on something as they went out. I forget. Such a great show. Saracen's butt is what it was. Yeah. They all touch Saracen's butt. Yeah. I remember thinking at the time of all of these actors, who's going to go on to be the biggest deal?
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah. And it was easy to say, well, Kyle Chandler will have a great career. He's already having one. So that'll keep going. And Lady, what played his wife's fantastic. And all these people. Connie Britton. Connie Britton.
Starting point is 00:31:54 She's fantastic. But I just, I didn't, I guess I didn't see Jesse Plymonds coming. Oh, Jesse Plemons. Jesse Plemons and Michael B. Jordan. They are not, they played important characters, but they were not like chief among them, right? And all the chief among them are all doing the most standard shit now. Totally. It's not cool at all.
Starting point is 00:32:13 But these two, holy shit. two are A-listers, or at least close to it, if not A-listers. Oh, just got word from somebody in the chat room. They all touched Adrian Pallickey's mole on the way out. They all whack it on the way out. Wack-a-mole on the way out. That's how they did it, yes. She's also great.
Starting point is 00:32:32 She's also great, too. I am so bummed that we didn't get a Wonder Woman series with her. With her, yeah. They shot all that. They just didn't do it, right? Yeah. And then the follow-up was getting. going to be a spinoff from agents of shield
Starting point is 00:32:47 with her as Mockingbird, like a spinoff Mockingbird TV show, but... I was hoping for some John Wick prequel stuff with that character she did in that. Oh, yeah. Is it two she was in or one? I can't remember. I think it was one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:02 But they killed her in that. Sorry, spoilers, everybody. She got... Sorry, yeah. It was a old movie or whatever it is. No, that Anadarmus thing was really good, so maybe they'll, you know, maybe they would consider a prequel thing now. I love Ballerina.
Starting point is 00:33:16 She's a good action deal. Yeah, Ballerina. Palerna was freaking great. Yeah. I had low expectations. But I will watch Anadarmus in anything. Give me whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Maybe not the backseat of Tom Cruise's car, though. They were together last I checked. I don't know if that's still going on. I don't know if it's still going on either. He hasn't been jumping on on couches lately about her. Oh, somebody sent me the vegetable soups. Or sorry, the other soups. Oh, was there a photo or a video like a phone?
Starting point is 00:33:45 photo of the other ones. Yeah, let me pull this up. Yeah, this looks like the complete collection or whatever. Oh, look at all those. There's a lot more than I expected. And those are all different. Tomato, vegetable, green pea, clam chowder, beef with something. I can't read the tiny letters. Oh, let's see.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It's probably from concentrate or something like that. Something like that. Vegetable beef, chicken noodle, cream of mushroom, scotch broth. What the hell's that? I don't know. Turkey noodle minestrone. Probably doesn't have scotch in it. I'd be disappointed by that.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Cheddar cheese. Oof. Yeah, that's just basically used that for nachos or something. Sounds terrible. Split pea. I like a good split pea. I'm not saying Campbell makes one. But it's got to have bacon in it or ham, something.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Well, there's the tomato rice at the bottom. Old-fashioned tomato rice, it says. Oh, nice. Old-Fatian. Pepper pot, that's a ginger. Just kidding. That's Iron Man's favorite. Yeah, Iron Man loves a hot bowl of pepper pot.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Loves that can. Oh, there's a consummate? No way. He went all in on this thing. But tomato was first. And that's probably why we think of it. And I also think whenever you'd see this just as an individual can. Yeah, like the painting that has kind of like you did with Marilyn and Roe. By the way, 100th birthday today would have been Marilyn and Rose if I remember.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Oh my gosh. Really? Yeah. But yeah, when he had the like the triptics of three cans, it would be. they would are all tomato with different colors, different color palettes. It's so weird to think. Like I was thinking about, we'll get to it in recommendals, but I was thinking about Sharon Tate.
Starting point is 00:35:27 And she was 26 when she died. If she had lived, she'd be 83 today. And I didn't realize how close in age my mother and Sharon Tate were. That's a weird thing to think about. Yeah. I don't see Nicole yet, so I think we'll get started. The weird irony is that the, TV show soap.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Yeah. Had the Tates and the Campbell's, which is a perfect segue from the soup cans and Sharon Tate. Perfect. Perfect. We have here, the important note here is that Brian is a super fan of soap. He loves soap. I was a super fan of soap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Soap was great. Nothing wrong was. It was till it wasn't until we got silly. Yeah. But I'll still stand on that hill that I'll die on that hill that that that that, that, that cliffhanger with the baby being possessed is one of the freakiest things I ever saw as a kid. It was a very odd thing. It was nightmare inducing.
Starting point is 00:36:23 To this day. I'm a little shocked by it. Yeah. All right, guys, it is time for us. Oh, and Nicole has just arrived. So we're going to go for it now. Here comes this deal. Where's her thing?
Starting point is 00:36:33 Here we go. Well, what do you recommend? Yes. Nicole Spagnolo joins us for yet another edition of recommendals. Hello, Nicole. Hi. Do I sound okay? You sound okay.

Starting point is 00:38:15 Dist and Artacula. I'm like, I'm going to be at home for three days between Vermont and Salt Lake City. The last thing I wanted to do is babysit a 36-hour print or something, however long it's going to be to print that thing. Yeah, plus you'd have to wear furry underwear or whatever to be. Right. Well, those I've got. Oh, that's.
Starting point is 00:38:33 That'd be hot. Oh, that's awesome. Brian's got those at the ready. I've already got that. Yeah. Well, it's good to have year, Nicole. We're going to do a recommendal today because why the hell not? I'm glad we didn't.
Starting point is 00:38:45 I was sick, so I watched so much stuff. It's hard for me to just pick one. Oh, did you get a fun summer cold as well? Did that happen to you as well? Yeah, it's the worst, man. Yeah, it was awful. Mine, I'm still on the throes of it. I think I'm at the tail end, I hope.
Starting point is 00:39:00 During the day, it's like kind of okay, but at night, nightmare. Awful. Man, I like hearing that just makes me dread like any time in the next, however many days it is, and I don't care how many days it is, that I can't get sick between now and their tag. Yeah, dude. I mean, we're all going to get sick.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Yeah. I think what's going to happen is we're going to, Nicole and I are going to have super immunity. And it's everyone else who's going to fall to it. Exactly. Totally true. Yeah. Well,
Starting point is 00:39:29 let's get going to go on here. Nicole, we're going to start with yours because you've got an appointment to hit. We want to make sure we get through it. Yeah. Yeah. And I might hit a patch of dead air. No worries.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Okay. Tell us, give us a setup for your thing, for your clip. This is on Apple TV. Uh, I, it's, it's finished. It's wonderful. It has one of my favorite actors of all time.
Starting point is 00:39:51 This is the clip of him because, uh, dopamine. He seems, he seems kind of adorable in this clip. Oh my God. It's wonderful. It's wonderful. All right. It's a short one. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:40:04 A group of flamingos is called a flammoyance. A group of crows is a murder. A group of parrots is a panda. And since a flamingo eats those shrimp, its body metabolizes the pigments, and that's how its feathers turn pink. Is that actually true, by the way? Yes. I only did that clip because of his laugh. All of that is 100% true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:32 I had not know the shrimp thing was true. That's crazy, man. That polar bear's fur is actually transparent. Yeah, that's true. It was between that clip and the one of Michelle Pfeiffer, punching a woman for calling her Natty Raddy. Oh, she's the hard choice you had to make.
Starting point is 00:40:51 You had to make a real Sophie's choice with today's clips. Yeah, no kidding. Well, so I've been wondered about this one. First of all, tell everybody the titles so we don't get a shit out of luck.com. So this is Margo's got money troubles on Apple TV. It stars Ella Fanning. L.L Fanning.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Yeah. Just Elle, yeah. She only goes by the first. In Mexico, she's known as the fanning. I don't know anything else. So Dakota and her executive produced this series. It's based off a book. A lot of notable actors in it, of course my favorite being Nick Offerman that you heard in the clip.
Starting point is 00:41:39 He plays a ex-wrestler named Jinks who's going to recovery. She is raised by Michelle Pfeiffer, who is, she's very, very, right? She's Catwoman. Yeah. Yeah. So Elle fanning, her character, of course, is Margo. She narrates this whole kind of story, kind of from a third person perspective, like it's happening to somebody else. Because she goes through hell.
Starting point is 00:42:21 You know, you can, as you watch the show, you can tell she was kind of neglected. She was raised by a single mom because she had an affair with her dad who was Nick Offerman because he traveled so much. So there's a lot of kind of complex storytelling going on. And it's really about Margo taking charge. And she gets put into a really terrible situation with her professor. She makes the best of it. And she becomes a single mom. And how, you know, we dive into only fans.
Starting point is 00:43:08 People view that. And how for some people, they're only options. And it's really, you know, depending on your stance of it, they kind of talk about, you know, the judgment of it. And it's just a really, it's just a well done story. I really enjoyed it. I've heard nothing but raves about it. It's just like nonstop talk about how this is all going to be Emmy bait this year.
Starting point is 00:43:35 and that, you know, I've heard really good things. I'm excited about it. Lots of layers in the character. I mean, that's the thing. We as humans are not black and white. There's, I mean, there's choices to be made. And she's trying to provide for her son. How does she do that?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Especially in this economy. So I just really enjoyed it. I loved every minute of it. Very rarely do I watch a show when it really, releases and I was like when does this release? So I was like kept anticipating it. So just it's all out now. I have to imagine there's going to be a season two.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Oh good. I highly recommend. Is it is it true? I'm so fine. The chat says Offerman's playing an 80s wrestler. Like a he used to be a wrestler in the 80s. And Nicole Kidman is also Oh. Oh. We may have finally hit the dead area. We hit the dead area. Oh, she may be back.
Starting point is 00:44:37 no sort of back oh shit it's gone it's gone there between the dunkin and the fire station yeah you can't get any signal I knew I knew we had a limited potential there it's like it killed it entirely she's not there anymore all right well uh that sounds awesome
Starting point is 00:44:52 this is a show that Kim and I've been we've had it on the radar we're going to definitely watch this as soon as things kind of chill out in the next couple of weeks we're going to we're going to sit down for this one I think yeah we uh this was one we were waiting to until all the episodes were out and we put it on the put all on the things.
Starting point is 00:45:09 And it's done that, right? Yeah, the last episode just came out, she said. So cool. It's funny. There's a weird connection between hers and mine because I saw something with her sister in it, Dakota fanning. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Very brief, but. Mine features no fanning at all. No fanning's at all? It's fanningless. Oh, man. That's unfortunately fanningless. That's too bad. Yeah, I would have recommended Spider-Man noir.
Starting point is 00:45:34 When there was no trivia last night, I just came. back and put out the legs of the couch and binged four episodes one right after another and god i am loving uh loving it this is the show i'll just say it right now this would not work without nicholas cage he there's a smarmy kind of goofiness to the show that um that any like a more serious actor in the role of ben raleigh would not would not work well with yeah he i i I feel like, I feel like it's crucial almost. Like, well, what, who, who, if you even imagine,
Starting point is 00:46:14 it's not that we're also sold on it from the animated thing where he did the voice, it's just that. No, but it's, when you watch like the, the, you know, the appearance of these other character, these other Spider-Man Rogue's Gallery characters, but also just the, the 1920s aesthetic.
Starting point is 00:46:32 There's a little bit of a goofiness in there. and if it wasn't, if it wasn't Nicholas Cage, you know, having a semi-serious actor in there just would not work. I'm trying to think of like who I would put in there instead of Nicholas Cage as an example, but, uh, yeah,
Starting point is 00:46:51 Eikro says he's not even the same character from the Spider-Verous movie. I disagree because he even says, one of the first lines he says in the show is someone, someone once asked me, what universe am I from? Yeah, and that's the only universe I've ever known. Yeah, that was the line, right?
Starting point is 00:47:08 Yeah, he, he, uh, he says technically not the same. Okay. Interesting. But how would he know then? Yeah. That how would somebody have asked him that if it wasn't Miles Morales or somebody else? Well, if you want to get weird about multiverses, I guess you could, you could explain it away and say, well, the only difference between that the universe and this universe is, this one's live action. The other one's animated, but they had the same experience or something.
Starting point is 00:47:32 You know, who know, I don't know how they do this. It's all pin particles, dude. All of it's how you explain it. We're Cango. We don't know. He's somewhere. P particles. Panticles.
Starting point is 00:47:41 You had canceled Pim particles. You know, the CPM. CPS. CPS. CMP. Yeah. It's not clicks per minute. It's canceled by Pimp particles. Yeah, I haven't started it yet, but I'm pretty excited about that show as well.
Starting point is 00:47:56 We're eating well right now. A lot of good shows out there. Oh, my God. There is too much. Yeah, I had to finish the boys. I had to, uh, there were a couple of the things. Oh, from I'm watching.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Oh, yeah, I've got to get back into that. I hear it starts strong. It starts strong. It's still going on so all the episodes aren't out yet, but whoof. I'll probably try to wait. Last time I went week to week because I couldn't stand waiting. Yeah. I probably can't this time.
Starting point is 00:48:25 You know, I'll let it build for a bit and then their tacular ends and then I can go. There you go. That's what I did is. I let it build and then I start watching and then like, oh, they're not all out yet. Okay. Yeah. Let the next three stack up. I really liked how testament ends.
Starting point is 00:48:37 That finished up after, I recommended what, a couple of weeks or month ago. I think that was my last recommendal. The spinoff from Handmaid's Tale, yeah. It ends very good. That show, that's very good.
Starting point is 00:48:47 You know, if you already don't like just the, the, the, the vibe of what Handmaid's Tale is in the first place, then maybe you don't see it. But if you liked that and think that they were doing something good, they've really killed it with this.
Starting point is 00:49:01 It's very good. Cool. Oh, very cool. Let's get to Brian's for now. I haven't heard. Oh, wait. She just said something in Discord. Sorry, hit a patch of whirl.
Starting point is 00:49:09 No worries. Let's see if she actually, no, she, I think she's good. Okay. I'll just say no worries. Brian, tell me about your clip before we play it. This is a series. Again, we were waiting until all the episodes dropped. They finally all dropped.
Starting point is 00:49:26 And we binge the whole thing, specifically because of one actress that we really. really love. All right. That's a nice tease. Let's see what we got here. Tell me. I can and I will. The thing is that it's just, I think it's just going to take a day or two, tops.
Starting point is 00:49:47 But you'll be fine. Everything's going to be okay. You're healthy. I checked your vitals. Wait, I could die. Tiny? No, you're not going to die, tiny. You'll be safe in the dollhouse because it's almost exactly the same as our house house house.
Starting point is 00:50:04 The stove works, the refrigerator works, there's food, the water runs, and I shrunk a few of your favorite things to really make you feel at home home. Your clothes from your closet. And this curling thing, your hairbrush, cold cream, looked important. Oh, and I remember your coffee, and the coffee maker worked perfectly, right? Oh, one crucial thing. The toilet. It works. I figured it out.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Just don't ever look in the hall closet downstairs. I have never come to a thing where I've had such a zero idea what this is. So I've no idea. This is a show, a series on Peacock called The Miniature Wife. And Scott, you like things in miniature. I do. How would you like Elizabeth Banks in Miniature? Oh, that sounds all right.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And all of her stuff. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I like Elizabeth Banks in general, so why not? And all of her poop in the hall closet. Don't go into the hall closet. It's also funny. We mentioned pin particles because there's a big shrinking going on here. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:17 And yeah, no kidding. And the multiverse because McFadden, who you also hear there from Succession, Matthew McFadden or McFadgin, I don't know if you pronounce the why. Yeah. I'm sure I get it. But he was, he's part of the time, variance authority or whatever, the TVA, and Deadpool Wolverines. That's right.
Starting point is 00:51:38 He's so freaking great, man. I'd love that guy. He is great. And I think his introduction to us in succession, just brilliant, just absolutely brilliant. But the real person that we watched this show for, Tina and I, is Zoe Lister Jones, who you'd recognize immediately
Starting point is 00:51:57 if you watch the show, oh my God, what was the show called, Life in Pieces? It was a sitcom that had a bunch of different families, Colin Hanks, um, the, uh,
Starting point is 00:52:08 the older Brolin, uh, James Brolin, uh, and a few other people, uh, um, too many to mention right now,
Starting point is 00:52:18 but Zoe Lister Jones was the highlight of that show for us because of her weird sarcasm and, uh, uh, uh, her, her dry sense of humor. And that is fully in play here as well.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Um, she plays a, uh, the right-hand person. Okay, so let me give you background of why it's a miniature wife. Matthew McFadden plays a scientist who's figured out a way to shrink things and it's going to help the food economy, help get food and impoverished areas because you can shrink it down, get it to these other places, and then expand it. Well, unfortunately, the problem is that the food explodes upon re-enlarging. And during a fight with
Starting point is 00:53:03 his wife, he shrinks her. Don't worry, it's in the trailer. It's not a spoiler. Plus, it's called a miniature wife. You really should have paid attention to the title if you consider that a spoiler. He shrinks her down and kind of has no way to get her back expanded. Zoe Lister Jones is the right-hand person to a venture capitalist who's funding the operation, but has given them a deadline. And if they don't get things done, he's just going to kind of absorb everything. And there goes McFadden's project and his wife
Starting point is 00:53:39 for that matter so she's great there's also a bunch like speaking of handmade's tale Alfred's
Starting point is 00:53:51 real husband in that show the guy that she leaves with a kid oh I love him yep he plays British actor
Starting point is 00:53:58 but he never shows it yeah it's O.T. fagbenal. His name is his name is literally impossible to say. It's impossible.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Happy Pratt month, everybody. There he is. That's him. He's great. He's one of the great things. Fable? Maybe febinal.
Starting point is 00:54:19 I don't know. I don't know how you pronounce. Faginil. Yeah. O.T. we call him. O.T. is what you call him for overtime. Because he's working overtime. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Anyway, he's great. I mean, it's got a really good cast. And Elizabeth Banks and Matthew McFadden have a great chemistry for this. So I really like seeing the way those two interact. Anyway, it's really good. It's on Peacock. It's called The Miniature Wife. I look at the tomato meter ratings, 71% tomato meter, 57% popcorn meter.
Starting point is 00:54:54 I'm definitely saying it's closer to the 71%. It's not perfect. And there's a little bit of a dry. in the middle of the season as, you know, it goes through the cycle of, well, make me bigger. I can't make you bigger yet. Well, hurry up. Let's fight. Blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:55:10 So the middle of the series gets a little dip downy, but it goes right back up near the end of the series. And it gets really, really good. Nice. This is a, it's been a pretty good year for odd things and horror movies already. My gosh. Oh, God, there's so many horror movies. Yes. obsession movie by a 26-year-old comedian directed that.
Starting point is 00:55:32 The backrooms is by a 20-year-old guy made that freaking thing. And that's doing, that's at 90. Yeah, I need to see obsession. And that's going to be without Tina's situation. Yeah, that one put me off. It's not even the kind of thing I like normally because it just seems like it's going to be, it's like hand rocks the cradle style. I know that's not what it is.
Starting point is 00:55:50 But it's just like, I guess. Yes, exactly. But apparently it's just amazing. Yeah. Everybody's 3D printing. those one wish willows too. Like it's... Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:56:02 Everybody wants a one wish willow. That's funny. Funny when that stuff takes off. Backroom's at 90 surprised me. I thought that might be a little more middling, but it's doing good. And it's the first... Let's see. First film, a first horror film or maybe film ever by...
Starting point is 00:56:18 Oh, I know what it was. First one to get the kind of box office at saw with a... The youngest director ever. So this Kane Parsons guy is like 20 and no one's done that much. money is a 20-year-old. Yeah. Wild. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Anyway. I'm sad, but I'm not surprised to see the breadwinner, the Nate Bargettze film having a 24% critic reviews and 87% audience. That would be about what I'd expect. Because people who love Nate Bargetzzi are going to love it because it's him. And critics are going to be like, another comedian stepping into this kind of like, I'm a parent and I can't handle being alone kind of role. Yep.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Yep. And you got, you know, a pretty diverse. set of opinions here. Like, here's your audience review. Number one, half star, terrible movie, didn't laugh one time, couldn't wait for it to be over. That was Jeff.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Chris says, it's very funny and hilarious. Five stars. It's like, okay. I think if you like Bargazzi, then you'll probably like this. It's probably just some good old town. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:20 It's exactly. Take the family, feel good about it. Like a John's scene, a comedy thing. You know, more recent comedy thing. Yeah. I know from listening to his podcast, I know Nate is all about, you know, giving family entertainment back. So it's not so hard to like navigate what's okay for your kids or not. I think there's a big part of this. So we'll see how it goes for him. Good. All right. Let's get to mine. This is a movie that I should have seen when it came out. I didn't. It was 2019 when it came out. It was the only hole in the lineup of this director's films that I hadn't seen. And finally decided, well, here it is. on Hulu. Why haven't I seen it? Let's just watch it. Here's my clip. Now I admire Cassius Clay, I do. What I admire is, in his sport, there's an element of true combat. When Cassius Clay meets
Starting point is 00:58:11 Sonny Liston in the ring, that's not two athletes posturing. That's combat. Two men trying to kill each other right now. If you don't beat him, he kills you. That's beyond athletics. That's beyond wide world of sports. You know. No. That's two warriors engaged in combat. That's what I admire. In martial arts tournaments, they won't let you fight like that. It's very frustrating. You stand in front of a guy and you just want to let them have it. All right. I chose that clip because it's actually controversial and the Bruce Lee family hates it and it's a whole thing. But I chose it because it's just about the only time people aren't dropping F bombs in this movie.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Yeah, it's a good safe clip to you. Yeah, it was safe for the show. But this is Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon Time in Hollywood. It is his, it's weird. I've never noticed this about the title, but it's actually Once Upon a Time dot, dot, dot, dot in Hollywood. Yeah, yeah. I didn't know that until this viewing,
Starting point is 00:59:15 which I don't know why he did it that way, why it matters. I know there's once upon a time in Mexico, in America, in the West. Once upon time in America, yeah, exactly. I guess he's playing off of that. But anyway, his ninth and possibly, well, he says it will be his penultimate film. When he finally gets his tenth done, that'll be it is what he says.
Starting point is 00:59:34 So I'm like, I got to finish the collection. I've been catching all these Pokemon. Why haven't I seen all these movies? So I watched it. And I think the reason that I was put off by it, not put off by, by why I delayed it in the first place is this felt more like his. And I want to make this clear. There's nothing wrong with Jackie Brown.
Starting point is 00:59:52 But it's a different phase for him. It's not the same. Like my favorite Tarantino movie, are often not anyone else's. My favorites are Django Unchained and Hateful Eight. Those are my two favorites. Yeah. You like his Western. I love that stuff. Turn. Absolutely love his Western takes. And I think Hateful Eightful Eighth is an incredible film. And it's not everybody's favorite. I also really recommend on Netflix watching the four-hour mini-series of vacation of it. So it's like an extended cut, but you get it in like mini-series chunks.
Starting point is 01:00:22 I need to see that. Yeah, I totally need to watch that. It's really good. And it isn't just simply they edited it and cut it and forth. It's, it's, it feels like it has a chaptering. Did you say how long that is now? Like how many episodes? They're all one hour episodes? Four total. Four, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:39 In this case, this is a long film. Three hours, maybe a few minutes. It is incredibly well acted. It's all the things you expect. Brad Pitt absolutely deserve best supporting actor. I can't wait for the weird David Fincher thing. His own little side off thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Venture's directing. Tarantino's writing. I guess that keeps Tarantino for. from doing his 10th film by accident. Exactly. It keeps it clear, clearly organized. Cliff Booth is amazing character. I went and watched or I went and looked at some of the stuff around the new thing coming
Starting point is 01:01:09 out and didn't realize that the James Stacey character played by Timothy Oliphant is coming back for that series. Oh, really? Okay. I don't know how that's all going to go or what that looks like. But this isn't really, this is a light of current events. Yeah. This is a very interesting movie because it does the stuff he likes.
Starting point is 01:01:26 he likes messing with historical, the historical record. If you want to know how Hitler really died, probably don't watch in glorious bastards because it's not how he died. But he has fun with it
Starting point is 01:01:37 in a way that's kind of unique to him and it's his whole thing and he's all about dialogue. I mean, there's a scene in this where Pitt goes, his character goes to see, oh,
Starting point is 01:01:48 what's the name of the character he plays? Hold on. Let me pull this up here. Bruce Durham plays George Spahn. And Bruce Durham is also in hateful eight. I want to say he was, also in Django chain, Unchained?
Starting point is 01:01:58 Yes, he was. He was a slave owner in that. Anyway, he obviously has a thing with Bruce Stern, loves having him in his movies. Yeah, yeah. And he wakes him up, and he's at that compound
Starting point is 01:02:07 where all of the, uh, the psychos are. And he just wants to see if his old friend's doing okay. And he's like, I'm just checking in on you. And anyway, it's this whole sequence with Bruce Stern that I can't get out of my head.
Starting point is 01:02:21 And I think it's because it was just so well, either improvised or just that dialogue between them was just so good. It's just an amazing thing. And I really like that. Like I mentioned earlier, Dakota Fanning is one of the crazies. Yeah, one of the Manson family. So is Mikey Madison, who did you ever see a Nora, by the way? No, still haven't.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Okay. Needs to be on your list. She's, like, we're going to see some amazing things from her, but she's in the swimming pool. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, and there were a few other people like that. Like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:02:59 she's all up in this thing. With her foot, her feet. Her feet all over that window. My gosh, dude. One of the most interesting casting was a very brief role, but it was Damien Lewis as Steve McQueen. That was really good. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Luke Perry's in it briefly. Very good. Al Pacino's in it briefly, very good. The ending is insane. Yeah, I need to watch. you're making me want to watch it again. Yeah, it was quite good. And obviously the thing he nails most of all is like the vibe of what he's aiming for.
Starting point is 01:03:30 And that kind of moment in time thing. And it's definitely late 60s, roll over 70s, L.A. and it's just impeccably that. You don't question it at all. Is it my favorite Tarantino movie? No, but it's really good. And I would highly recommend it. It would definitely be hard for you to find something that surpasses hateful eight.
Starting point is 01:03:55 For me in particular, just given my, my propensities lean those directions. But, you know, I love en glorious bastards. And it's funny because in some ways, this Brad Pitt character is a lot like that, Brad Pitt character. Like they're kind of just the swagger is the same. Sorry, this cough. Anyway, I loved it.
Starting point is 01:04:17 And I would highly recommend it. It's on Hulu for the time being. I don't know how long it'll be there. And DiCaprio's great. The reason I didn't mention him is because DeCaprio is always great and there's really no getting around it. That's why he hasn't won every Oscar he's been up for, partly
Starting point is 01:04:30 because it's such a standard for him. I think they just forget that he deserves it. Yeah. Stupid cough. I'm sure that'll help me get rid of it. Yes. But yelling at it.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Yell it away. Yell my cough away. That's your recommend. all of this will be up on quicktms.l. Thanks to our good pal ice warm. Yeah. I need to get him a list of movies. It's a good reminder. Yeah, he'll take care of that.
Starting point is 01:05:01 Oh, sorry, all of these things are available now. You watch Nicole's up there on the Apple TV plus. What was it? Margo lost her money. What is it? Margo's got money troubles. That's it. Mature wife and Once Upon a Time.
Starting point is 01:05:19 Dot, dot, dot, dot. in Hollywood. And yours is on the peacock. Mine is on the Hulu. Hers is on Apple TV. Yep. Um, all right. That's it for that. That's it for the show. We are done. Excuse me. We'll be here tomorrow. Tuesday. Tuesday will be a day that we'll be here. Okay. Yes. Just know that. Scott will rest his voice and get some hot soup into him for lunch or dinner or something. It's freaking killing me, man. Yeah. I feel okay. And this is usually a good sign that you're toward the end of it. So I'm going to take it for the good sign that it is.
Starting point is 01:05:53 Cough hangs on for as long as it possibly can. It's like the grasping the edge of the airplane window by its fingernails. I hate it. Hate it. But we're almost through it. All right. That's it. Monday show today at 1 p.m.
Starting point is 01:06:07 I guess I won't be resting my voice there, but I'll make Carter do most of the work. There you go. So that'll be 1 p.m. today here on the stream.

Starting point is 01:11:02 At patreon.com SlashupGild Once again, pull up a chair. as Scott and Brian share a story by the fire. What will they talk about today? Friday night. It is an interesting day. You know, busy day. Lots of stuff going on. My second oldest Carter, who's 15, is now the high school newspaper photographer,
Starting point is 01:11:25 and she had to go to a stump to get a bunch of photography done. So I drive her out there at about eight, okay? Anyway, so she goes to the dance. Everything's great. I said, all right, you call me when you're ready. And I'll come pick you up. So she's down there. I drive back home. and it's launch night for Guild Wars 2. So I get in and I'm playing.
Starting point is 01:11:40 So I'm from about 10 to 11. I'm playing and I'm having a great time. Get a phone call from Kim and she says, hey, Carter needs you to pick her up. Anyway, so I go to get her and I'm feeling a little like, I'm a little bloated from dinner. Okay, just a little bit. Not too bad, but I'm not really, I'm fine.
Starting point is 01:11:54 I've been sitting there. I've been playing, but I've been sitting there. You know? Yeah. I've been living the sedentary lifestyle for a couple of hours. And I get in the car and I'm driving down toward her and I'm kind of, oh man, I'm still a little crampy. This is not, you know,
Starting point is 01:12:05 I should have maybe checked the baggage at the door if you know what I mean. It's like about halfway down. There's really starting to be bad and it's starting to hurt. And I'm like, oh, shoot, I may have to use the, you know, the crapper. Well, I get to the school and she's not out there. And I'm dying. And part of me is like, you should just go on the school. And the other part of me says, no, you're this 43-year-old schlub with half a beard.
Starting point is 01:12:25 You're not going in the school. So anyway, I go and I wait. And finally she comes out. I'm saying, oh, geez, all right, get in the car. I'm like, geez, what's the hurry? I'm like, don't worry about it. I get in the car. So she gets in the car and we pull out of there.
Starting point is 01:12:34 And now I'm driving, not the speed limit. I'm going a little too fast. I'm through the parking lot. Ripping through there. Get out to the main road. And I get behind the slowest grandma driver you've ever met. Slowest grandma driver ever. I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 01:12:46 She won't do the speed limit. She's way under it. And she's putting along. And I can't get around her because it's two-lane road. Dude, I'm literally a mile and a half from home. And I can't get there because she's put putting. And I'm screaming. And my daughter's like, oh, my gosh, what's going on, Dad?
Starting point is 01:12:59 I go, Carter. I hate to tell you this, but I am going to crap my pants in this car. If this lady doesn't move. So she's still slow. We get to about probably half mile from the house. And I can't wait. So I said Carter, I'm really sorry, but I got to take a crap. I pull the car over.
Starting point is 01:13:14 Oh, no. On to the side of the road. I run out into the bushes, and I let nature take its course. I crapped in the bushes. And she's dying. 15-year-old girl, you know, awkward time in life, right? And her dad's... And then a school bus of her friends goes by.
Starting point is 01:13:30 Hey, Carter. Is that your dad? I'm completely mortified that this is even going on. Here's the worst part. I get back into the car. You know, we're back into traffic and there's not much traffic. We end up catching up to Grandma again. Thanks for listening.
