Coming up on the morning stream, Scott's beard really ties the room together. Welcome to any Audi burger. This tastes confusing. Everything's a week from something. Is it too early for a belly button sandwich?

In Soviet Russia, hamburger helper poke you. Ice cream math. Got a little ding. Black pink lemonade. Baby boots on the ground. A tad of trivia. Don't drink the brown. The case of the disappearing Asian cameras.

The plaza is the movie star. Got a big hot thing for you with Stephen and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Looks like they're planning to settle down. That ain't no moonlight camp, they're building major. Not if we persuade them differently. Boys show the brethren how to build a decent house. That structure doesn't strike me as being very sturdy. You can still alter your decision.

If this is against your circuits. My circuits are unoffended. The morning stream, where we're going, we won't need eyes to see. Hello, everybody. Welcome to TMS. This is the morning stream for Monday, June 22nd, 2026. I am Scott. He is Brian. Hello. Yes. Yes. Look at us.

New week. Mm. Hmm. One week ago, we were done with an artacular a week ago. Yep. Been thinking about that a lot. I was laying in bed on Saturday night and I went, oh, my gosh. Tomorrow's a week from the freaking drag brunch.

And then everything's a week from something, you know? Everything's a week from something. Yeah. That's true. Yep. Except for the big bang. Oh, that's true. Or big bang.

not Big Bang theory, but... Yeah, we don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody after the Big Bang said, a week ago, because there wasn't a week ago, it was like just nothing before that. That we know of, right? We got to keep digging.

Keep digging, scientists. Keep digging, right? There's something in there. I don't know what. Yeah, pretty soon, you and I need to talk offline about plans for 2027 and figure out stuff because I don't know if you've heard, but the plaza doesn't have the sand dollar anymore.

So if we're going to be doing a TNNs, ms Vegas i need to start researching and finding a new place a new home a new home for it a new home got to be another another receptive downtowner yeah there's there's three or four options that um i was talking to james and sved about and um places that they've played that would work out well um you know uh don't know if it's i know it's been announced or i mean it's it's public knowledge so me saying that uh uh same-sex mary is with child yeah won't be violating any NDA agreements. So, yeah.

I guess that, I guess NDA agreements is like saying ATM machines, because the A is agreement. Oh, yeah. I like those. I like when those come up. Yes. But, yeah, so, so, um,

I want to get their boots on the ground while they're still, while there's still not a baby attached to their boots. It's regular boots, not booties. You want to do boots? Right. Exactly. Boots on the ground. So anyway, you and I, let's talk offline.

We'll figure something out. I don't know why I'm bringing it up here, but, you know, there we go. It crossed your brain and had to come out. It crossed my brain. This might be an opportunity, by the way, with us not doing it this year in Vegas at the plaza, it might have some leverage to say, all right, we'll come back, but you've got to give us the showroom. Yeah, that's a good point because you don't have the other thing. Plus, all the word on the ground over there is that international travel is dead in Vegas right now.

They need exactly. They need some. All that tourism dried up. Where are all those Asian people with their cameras? Nowhere, that's where. That's right, exactly. Amy says, did you know that the plaza featured heavily in the show Margot's having money troubles? I did not know that.

That's on our list to watch. But I did know that the plaza also featured heavily in the final season of hacks. They used the plaza. Yeah, they used it for that. They used it. What was the movie we saw that was all up in it? It was an older movie, though. Yeah, well, it's a Vegas, Vegas.

vacation used it. Yeah, that's true. Something we saw for a film set. Back to the Future, too, used it. What did we see on Film Sack? That was this. Oh, it was like when they were chasing each other. It was one of the Bond.

It was the Bond film. Diamond's are forever. It takes place. And they drive all around Fremont Street when Fremont Street had car traffic. Regular cars on the road. No roof thing. All that stuff wasn't there. Yeah.

Well, there you go then. Yeah, we'll figure it out. Yeah. Hey, I got a. Yeah. I can't wait to. I don't know these three words together. It's here. So let's see. I'll explain. So the kids took me to dinner last night and we went to Slackwater, a place we like to go a lot. Nice.

And they have these amazing wings and pizzas and gourmet this and that. The pricing's good. They're just awesome. We love it there. So we go there. And they've always got young, attractive people running the tables, men and women in their 20s who are, you know, running around, taking orders. and it is a thing you notice that they all look like they had to pass some kind of test. I don't know that they did. The Monks Diner Test on Seinfeld kind of thing. A little bit. I'm not entirely sure if that's even the case. I don't want to dismerch the management.

But it seems like it's a thing they do. I don't know. Sure. But we're there and our person, okay, this is just weird because the height which I sit in the chairs of this restaurant, I have a certain eye level, right? Like anybody does when they sit that, whatever their height is. in a sitting position. Right.

It's going to be lower. It's not going to be eye to eye as you would be if you were standing. This girl who served us was excellent, by the way. Observed the tip she got. Wonderful person. Super nice.

All that stuff was good. But she, whenever she appeared, either on the left of me or the right of me or anywhere around the table, but usually it was the left or right of me, her exact eye level for my eyes was her

bare midriff midriff belly thing shirt deal so when i would turn just slightly to the left i am eye to eye with this girl's pierce belly button oh funny so was it any was it any uh hey carter was our server's belly button in any or an outy it was in any how did you notice that and i was the one that was so embarrassed that's funny my belly buttons down here, sir. Yeah, please keep your eyes where my belly button is. But it kept happening and Carter's like, quit looking at it. I'm like,

I'm not looking at it. It's just showing up. How can I not look at it? It just shows up. She says, you guys doing okay and needing refills and I'm like and there it is. I'm talking to the thing. So what I ended up having to do is like go, there's that and then I got to move up to make eye contact. Now part of this is because she's

a tall girl and the proportions just worked out that way. But I swear to anyone who was in Slavis Blackwater last night. I wasn't some weirdo pervy man staring at some girl's belly button. Treating it like a drive-thru speaker. Like, yeah, I'll take the, I'll take the wings with a medium buffalo sauce and what do you want, honey? Okay, a burger and, yeah, and have her go, you want to round that up and give it to the charity or whatever. She don't like this. Would you like to supersize that? I mean, if only, dude.

If only that thing could talk. If only. Anyway, it all worked out. I just feel like I couldn't help it. And everyone was laughing at me. And I'm just like, it's just right there. What are you supposed to do? And I even tried the next time she came, like with the check and everything.

And I was like, I'll just kind of move up. You know, I'll just go. I'll lieball up to her face immediately and not stay down here. But it was impossible. She'd show up and I go, oh, er, er, like that. Because you'd hear, right, you hear the voice to your left or right. You'd immediately look. Yeah, that's where you're right.

I feel like everybody would have done this in my situation. I was not alone. That's how it felt. I'm just impressed that you resisted the urge to go, boop. Yeah, I know, I want to poke it. Do you like, what's the state puff little marshmallow guy or no? Right, exactly. Who's the one that gets poked?

Is it a hamburger helper? It's the, uh, it's the, uh, Pillsbury, dobole. Oh, that's right. Pillsbury, doboy. Pillsbury, doboy. Hamburger helper pokes you if he wants. That's right. He's a hand.

Yeah. Anyway. So I was like for the record to state that I did get that before people started typing in the chat room. Just so people know. Yep. So you guys know, we have a seven second delay and I heard it before it popped. So take that jerks. Hey, Brian, what did you get up to you yesterday?

Yeah. So a while back, you may remember that I won a puzzle. So like there was a local ice cream place, fantastic soft serve ice cream place called power cone and it's like stuff goes to charity they're really good about giving back to the community

and giving to organizations and their ice cream is really good and they've got all these dips that they can roll it in and they've always got like four flavors that they can either do individually or as twists and um love the name

uh power coat power cone uh the end of last year they had this this puzzle sheet that they had in their store and it was just right up my alley just basically like puzzled pint kind of thing or the stuff i'm doing for rock puzzles monthly where it's uh you go to several different locations around arvada and each one has a code of like uh ice cream plus ice cream truck plus um uh plus uh ice cream scoop equals 22 and then another one said ice cream plus ice cream plus ice cream equals 15 and like all of these

these like variable problems right so it was a number and then and then a bunch of symbols that you'd have to add together and once you got all those you could then say oh okay well this ice cream clearly equals five and the ice cream truck probably equals seven and da da da da da and then you plug those into a code, general code thing and figure out what letter each of those numbers represents. So I was one of about a dozen people who figured it out, turned it in, and they said, all right, we're doing a drawing on this date for everybody who got it right, need to be present to win, and you're going to get an ice cream truck to the front of your house.

With ice cream for 50 people will be there for two hours or 50 ice creams, whichever comes first. and invite your neighbors whatever bring your family exactly yeah well i won uh they drew my name first which they didn't even draw like you know people that weren't there first and then eventually draw my name no they just pulled my name right out of the thing so uh there goes your one lottery chance by the way kind of is right it's like well you know what though i you know after after being the hero of the weekend this last weekend for having a big neighborhood block party and all these freaking kids and their parents. It's like the couple that lives

across the street have two small kids. And so these are all the parents, or really all the moms, of the kids who they all meet at the bus stop. And it was just like, our whole front yard was filled. People brought lawn chairs. We had a little pop-up tent. I cooked

burgers for folks. And they just came and got these big ass ice creams. And that's great. It was a huge, huge hit. Wait, so which happened first? run out of the 50 or the two hours. Two hours, yeah. We even, we had like, he was

to the point where he was like, all right, I'm going in about 15 minutes. Anyone want second? Like, want another ice cream cone? And like a bunch of the kids, like, look at their parents. Like, can I have a second one? Hell yeah. Yeah, go for it. So he went up. But I think he probably still got to like the mid-40s. And then

he comes up to me with like a handful of these homemade ice cream sandwiches that he makes and says, stick these in your freezer. Thanks for, thanks for having us. It's like, oh, dude, you rock. So I've got a freezer full of ice cream sandwiches for after the MS-150. Dude, celebrate with him, you know?

Yeah, exactly. But, no, Pete and Pete was the guy. Pete's the owner. Super, super cool guy. Really friendly. Talked with everybody, chat with everybody who came up there and probably got some new customers for his ice cream shop. and stuff, but it was, it was a great time.

And, yeah. I like the charity bent. That's cool that they're doing that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, they're really, really good about that. At some point, they didn't have it up there yet, but at some point there's a, there'll be a photo of me going with an ice cream cone on their Instagram. Nice. So look for that at a power cone, the social media site coming soon. That's right.

That's great. That's very cool. Yeah. Do you know what your chances of winning were? So one out of 12 was the I think you said between 12 and 20 were the number of correct answers that he got and then the number of people who showed up to the shop the day of the drawing was about

9, 8 or 9. Okay. Still. Yeah. That's one out of... Oh yeah. No, it's... Yeah, I'll take it.

Yeah, those odds are still, you know, that's pretty good. But you can't... It's funny because, I mean, I'm sure a lot of people grabbed those sheets and said, I'm not going to drive around Arvada looking for all these codes. Or they said, oh, cool, I'll totally do this.

And then they didn't do it. Or got it wrong or whatever. That's true. Who knows how much you actually get out of the participation on that thing? Yeah. So he said, well, I want to do another one that like maybe takes a full year to complete or a summer to complete. And I said, well, since I'm probably ineligible to win a second time, let me help you with that. Yeah. Here's my credentials.

Here's this stack of rock puzzles monthly. Let me know if you want me to develop something for the ice cream shop for you. That's great. Yeah. I hope that happens. That'd be great. It'd be really cool. And then I could probably put a little thing on the bottom that says, like this puzzle, check out rock puzzles monthly.

Yeah. Mutually beneficial. That's right. All like songs, rock songs that talk about ice cream. Yeah. Can you imagine anything better in your life? The answer is no. No, it would be perfect puzzle.

Sucking on a chili dog. outside the tasty freeze. That means something else where we wrote this song. Because doesn't it mean, everyone thinks it's dirty, but it actually just is a phrase. It's just really like, yeah, he's eating a chili dog. It's a drink or something, right? Isn't it like a chili dog? Yeah, a chili dog.

I know what a chili dog is, but isn't it, there's some kind of, hold on, where did I see this? Sucking on a chili dog meaning. It was like a drink or something. here it is really so it's a it was a drink called a chili dog well that certainly makes more sense because you would normally eat a chili dog let's see him writer uh chili dog where is it adam of geekheim confirms it is a drink okay so it is a drink oh no tasty freeze is not a drink tasty freeze is a restaurant yeah that's a restaurant okay a melanchine devotee then brought a tray of chili dogs horror hit my face melancamp grabbed mustard bottle and proceeded to draw a tiny smiley

face on each dog. Let's see. Yeah, and then he goes on. There's something in this interview where he says, yeah, it's not an actual chili dog, which is a weird thing to name your drink. Like, that is a really weird thing to name your drink. I have never heard of a drink called a chili dog.

I believe you, but I've, that's what's weird. I mean, is it tastes like a chili dog? And if that's true, that's like a nightmare? Yeah, who wants that? He wants to put that in their mouth. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. Not even Jack or Diane are not interested.

Yeah. No, we had tasty freezes here in, oh, I just got signed out of, there we go, signed back in. They had tasty freezes here in Denver. It was like one of those things that became hamburger stands. Oh. Did you guys have hamburger stand? Like the, the brand name hamburger stand. Yeah, it's called the hamburger stand. I don't think so. Um, what was it was like Der Wiener Schnitzel and Tasty Freeze? Derwent essential, we definitely have, we have those still. Do you? They just call them Wiener Schnitzels now, right? They got rid of. Listen, I'm called der. Yeah. It sounds too German.

Let's just shorten it to Wienersnitzel. Yeah. It sounds like they're making fun of dumb people with the Dür in there. Dür Wiener Schnitzel. Hey, where'd you get that hot dog? Dür Wiener Schnitzel. I do like a chili dog, though, man. Yeah.

The food, right? Yeah, yeah, not the drink. But I could go for a big foot long chili dog covered in chili onions and and whatever else you want to put in there. Yeah. Sign me up. Chopped onions. Give me chili, chopped onions, cheese, done.

Right there. Yep, and I'll fart all the way home. All right. Guys, we heard you. No, I'm doing that again. We're going to bring a pal in here by the name of Brian Dunaway and play a game, and it may not be the game you expect. So hold on tight.

Here we go. Hey, you know what that music means? It means it's time for Brian Dunaway to join us. Hi, Brian. How are you? No, hi, Scott, Brian. How are you? Hey man, I'm good. Welcome to something called Trivia Countdown.

Brian Ibbott's going to have to explain what the hell this new name means and tell us how to win or play or do or have. Or do or win or player what. Yes. So welcome to trivia countdown, a trivia game that might need a new name suggestion. I've got 20 questions across various subjects, including science, art, entertainment, history, and more. Scott and Brian will each get 30 seconds to answer as many of these questions as they can. While Scott's answering his questions, we're going to put Brian into a soundproof. isolation booth.

I call it the nap booth. You can either provide an answer to your question or if you want to just say, if you want to skip it, you can just say pass. The player with the most correct answers after 30 seconds wins the prize for their contestant and contestants have been pulled from our Patreon supporters at

patreon.com slash TMS. Yeah. So, kind of think of like win Ben Stein's money, I guess, is the way to think about this. Who are our contestants? You mentioned they were from Patreon. Oh, yes. Scott, you're playing for Tyler Rowland.

Nice. I don't know who that is, but I like his keyboards. His keyboards are great. And Brian, you're playing for Yoder of Kansas. Oh, hi, Yoder. One of my favorite names in our community. I don't think it's really his name. It's like Fountains of Wayne, Yoder of Kansas.

Cool. All right. Let's try this. What we got. Let's see how we do here. And things are editable, editable. Like we might find that 30 seconds. is not long enough. We might up it to 45 seconds.

Yeah. Let me tell you. Let me tell you something. Actually, it looks like it's set for a minute right now. Should we keep it in a minute or keep it at 30 seconds? Whatever you want. Let's do. Let's do 30 seconds and then we can feel really hard. Let's do 30 seconds and then we'll see. You know what? I'll meet you halfway. We're going to say 45 seconds.

So already changing things. I like it. I like this made a toast. So Brian, we're going to put you into a soundproof isolation. Hello. so you can't hear Scott's answers. He's a liar. All right. I'm putting him on mute.

He will not hear us talk. Oh, no. Wait, he will hear us talk. How do we do this? Oh, I know how. I go like this. So we go mute so he can hear us. And then mute so.

Oh. Can you put him into, put him back into the lobby in clean feet? I don't think so. I'm trying to put him into a. All right, Brian, here's what you'll do. You're going to come. You're going to, you're going to, you're going to, I didn't think about this.

This mute, I had this all planned out. This mute you. So you can't hear me. But you'll hear us. So Brian, what, where should I post to say come back in when things are done? Would you trust me to, let's see, can I mute Scott Johnson? Yeah, you totally can. How do we let you know to unmute them?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a good question. A quick DM on something. And mute me too, because otherwise you're going to hear my question. You won't hear his answers, which you'll hear my questions. I can just mute the whole tab. Mute the whole tab. There you go.

Yeah, mute. And then we'll... Yeah, I can't hear you guys now. Can you guys hear me? We can hear you. I don't know if you can hear me. Post a message later. I'll shut up now. Okay.

All right. We'll figure this. We'll find out the best way to do this. We'll figure out a good way to do this. All right. Let's go ahead and get started. Scott, I'm going to start the timer. We're going to count down three seconds for a ready set go.

And then I'm going to give you your first question. And then we're going to go. All right. All right. Okay. Let's see if this works. All right. If you're ready, here we go.

Question number one. What do architects call their scale geometric drawings of the side, front, or rear of a structure? Grand doodles. Incorrect. According to World War II hyperbole, loose lips do what? Sink ships. Correct. What style of sculpture includes bass and alto relievo, which are not freestanding from their backgrounds?

Oh, shit. The talking fish. In which of William Make Peace Thackeray's novels is the roguish Becky Sharp featured? The Return of the King. In what year was the first Japanese car sold in the U.S.? 1957, 1963, or 1970? 63. Who partnered with U2's Bono in 2001 to cover Martin Gay's classic song?

What's going on? Sean Combs, did he? After the Volstead Act? Okay. Damn. I think we'll do. I think we may do. 60 seconds on this in the future

because I only got through questions six. Yeah, the trick is it's a balance between what they take, which you did swimmingly. You read just great, but it's a balance of how long it takes to read stuff and answer and yeah, all that. I know how to, I know when to unmute now. Oh, you did? Okay.

You know how I know? Because I did not mute the Dark Day Dark Day Games tab and the thing went right in my skirt up, but Jesus that's just fine. That's just fine. Okay, you know what? That's a really good way to do it because, yeah, you'll see the seconds counting down. You'll have no idea.

Just don't continue to talk, Scott, after your turn, because I will unmute after hear that. Jesus out of me. Sitting in the quiet room. That's funny. So that was 45 seconds. I think we definitely will up it to 60 for next time, for next week. All right. You're stuck with 45 today, buddy.

Right, right. Look, let me tell you something before we do this. Yeah. I am the worst at fast trivia. I spend all day, every day doing things slow to make sure I do them right. And so anytime, I always second guess, so this is going to be the most fantastic failure of me going, uh, uh, uh, so let's go. Yeah, let's do it. All right, all right.

If you're ready, then we're going to start the timer and count down and here we go. What do architects call their scale geometrical drawings of the side, front, or rear of a structure? Drafts. According to World War II hyperbole, loose lips do what? Sink them ships. What style of sculpture includes Bass and Alto Relivo, which are not freestanding from their backgrounds? Relief. In which of William Make Peace Thackeray's novels is the roguish Becky Sharp featured?

Spandex. I don't know. What is that? In what year was the first Japanese car sold in the U.S.? 1957, 1967, 1967, 57? Who partnered with U-2's Bono in 2001 to cover Martin? Marvin Gay's classic song, what's going on? Tim Cook. After the Wollstead Act was repealed in 1933, U.S. citizens could legally buy what?

Tobacco. I won't let you finish, and that's incorrect. All right, thank you, thank you. You were correct with 1957, you were correct with relief, and you were correct with sink ships. Architects call their scale geometric drawings, side front, or rear of a structure, elevations.

Oh, okay. Weird. Becky Sharp was featured in Vanity Fair. And U2's Bono collaborated with Chris Martin from Coldplay. So not Tim Cook, all right. Not Tim Cook, but those two have done things with Tim Cook. Those two have done things with Tim Cook. Yeah, there's not a bad connection there, I think. Very true, yes.

And Scott, you were about to get the Volstead Act. What could people buy? Liquor. That's correct. It makes sense. Makes sense. I just finished watching Boardwalk Empire again, So it's like, oh, yeah.

They're always talking about the Volstead Act constantly. Like, they don't just call it prohibition. They're always running around going, The Volstead Act demands that weepa, bra, blah, but it's kind of burned into my brain. And I thought it just got there. Oh, so close. Dang. Well, congratulations to Dunaway, winning three to one.

You know what I kind of want, if you're listening, Al-Kabob. By the way, great job on this interface. Looks fantastic. Yeah. It does exactly what it needs to do, and it's super easy for me just hit the space bar when you get a right answer. If you could add a ding when I hit the space bar with a right answer, I think that would be cool. Yeah, that would actually would help because whenever I was the answer and I was like, did I get it? I don't know.

Right, exactly. Plus for the audio listeners, it would give them a cube. Right, exactly. But I don't want to buzzer when people get it wrong. No, that's great. You know, if you need to change the... I like that. Oh, Icor says, I should time myself reading the questions and then add two seconds for each question.

Oh, I see what he means. He's just talking about what you can pad the timer out too. Right. Right. Some questions. The problem is there's such... You'd have to do a good average because some of the questions are longer, some are shorter. Exactly.

I think uping it to 60. I mean, I have 10, 20 questions. here. We're never going to ever get to all 20, but we got to... Welcome to Trivia Workshop. With both of you, got to six. So, I mean, is 90 seconds ridiculous?

I don't know. How many... How many questions total are there? I have 20 total. And... That sounds right. 90? 90 seconds might be good. At least if I double the number, because right now I only got through six.

At least if I did 90, potentially I would have gotten through 12 of them. So... Good question. I feel like we were answering pretty quick. Yeah, we did all right. And you did a lot better than you claimed you were going to do. The Raith 86 says, would the muted contestant hear the ding?

I think so, right? Yeah, but it wouldn't matter. They could also see the number going up. So I don't think that would. It doesn't really give you any advantage to know how many Scott gets. Yeah, and he won't know. He won't know where I wouldn't know where you are in the list. It won't give me no advantage, but it sure will put a pressure.

Yes, that's true. It'll give you some pressure. And it'll prepare. It would be less freaked out when you hear the buzz because you'll be hearing the ding. That's right. Yeah. When you got a little ding,

you can handle the buzz. So Ron Trinitron says, I think they should each get different random questions so they can laugh and rib each other live. I hope they want it. Plus it might be unfair. It's like, oh, well, how come you randomly got, you know, a movie and TV questions?

And I got fucking Japanese carb stuff. Yeah. The problem with that. The problem with that too is that it will eat into the timer if we're giving each other crap. So, yeah, yeah. We got it, we got, the timer has to be a little bit sacred. Yeah, exactly. So we'll do, we'll do 90 seconds next week.

This was a nice little trial run. I like it. Of course, if you have ideas for the name, something TMS-E would be great. It's not a TMS-E. Always go TMS-E if you can. Yeah. We like scooters or something. Yeah.

Time to play. But whatever you guys want. I think, I mean, trivia countdown is a great description of what it is. It is. But we want to get creative. We can do whatever. We can keep the word countdown and just have something else to. How about?

Countdown asses. It's all trivial. Oh, look at you. It's all trivial. Is that a thing? We'll workshop it. We'll workshop it. It's close to what we do with Travis, right?

Which is trivial things with Travis. Oh, okay. Good point. Travis. I forget how we do. Oh, that's good. I apologize, Travis. It might change.

Way better at this. Yeah, he's probably way better at this. He's very good. He's very good at this stuff. He was a bit of a ringer for the bearded team. But you were on his team. Take that. Yeah.

You guys briefly. Anyway, hey, congratulations. To Yoder of Kansas, who's going to be getting a copy of Dead in Vinland and Chroma Squad, courtesy of Sun Bun. All of these games, actually, courtesy of Sun Bun. And Tyler Rowland, you're going to get a copy of Epistory or Epistory Typing Chronicles. suppository. Suppository. I think that feels like

Yeah, we're going to play NARC, the arcade, classic NARC. Arcade, NES, several other systems, Amiga. And I got, there's the game.

A lot of parents were pissed off about that game. Let's see if it's truly as offensive as it is today as it was then or something like that. And then watch retro. So stick around for that. That'll be Wednesday. We'll remind you again when you're here for Tad Pooley Feud. In the meantime, kiss our buttons. All right.

but I am gonna do this and now welcome Stephen to the show he's a huge freaking nerd dollar dollar bills y'all yeah Stephen Schlecker joining us all the way from Hayes Kansas it has been too long Stephen it has been

yeah what's going on with that you know you're a busy guy you got stuff going on I had a lot happening during Nurtacular, so we can get to see you there. Nurtacular this year was crazy because I had to ship one of my sons off to Greece for 10 days. So while Nurtacular was going on, we were back in Wichita trying to retrieve him from the authorities. Oh. Not in a bad way, but he had to go through customs and all of that stuff.

I'm going to Wichita. How to go there. Man, everybody who went with him, so there were some parents that went, they all came back. He's like, oh, he really came out of his shell. He really had a good time. And then every morning at 2.30 in the morning because of the time difference. And differences, I hate it here. I hate you guys.

I can't believe you. You made me go on this trip. But he comes back and he's all smiles. And he said, yeah, I had fun. But every morning, we'll wake up to, I'm not having any fun. Was it like a school thing or what was the deal? Yeah, well, I mean, it was a school trip. But it wasn't like a requirement to go.

But because my oldest went to Japan this time last summer, we thought it'd be a good idea to send the youngest off. So he had some world traveling experience, which, you know, highly recommend. Brian does it a lot. I don't know about you, Scott, if you've been out of the country, but I highly recommend people travel outside the U.S. whenever they can. Maybe not now, so that you're able to come back. Yeah, it depends on when you're doing it. I asked him about that, and he was like, no, people in Greece were really cool that we were Americans. We didn't have any trouble.

Anything like that. Yeah, the Greeks are cool. And here's the other thing. My daughter went to Greece first. It was another student. thing. It was very similar to this. This is forever ago now, but she she liked it so much.

I didn't think she was going to come home. Like, she loved it over there. Kind of like Carter when she went to Iceland. I'm like, I remember going to get my daughter's back. This is crazy. I honestly would happily stay living in either Dublin or Tokyo. We loved both of those places so much that

Tina and I both like, I could live here. I had no problems living here. Yeah. I felt that way about Hong Kong, but I'm not sure it was. Next year. the schools taking them to Ireland and England. No, Ireland and Scotland. And I'm like, hey, do you want to go again?

He's like, no, I like sleeping in my own bed. Well, you know, there is something to that too. Yeah, most definitely. I feel that. Well, Stephen, let's get caught up. We got some stuff to cover in the nerd world, major spoilers.com. Of course, your place for all your nerdy information

about new comics and new movies and all the controversies around all that stuff. Things are interesting. if you're into the new Legion of Superheroes. Josh Williamson is writing it. I love the old stuff. So what's going on here? Is this a reboot?

Yeah. So this is, this looks to be a completely different reboot. So this would probably be the third incarnation of the Legion of Superheroes within the last five years. Five, five, six years ago Brian Michael Bendis took on the Legion. That didn't go so well. And then during this absolute run that's going on where Darkside has kind of infected the DC universe,

there was an. evil version of the Legion of Superheroes that showed up. And now in September, we're going to get a new reboot from Joshua Williamson. People may know him from his long run on the Flash, but also he is the person behind the current Skybound Entertainment G.I. Joe run, which, nothing against Larry Hama. I just never read G.I. Joe back in the 80s when that comic book kicked off at Marvel. And I don't read the current G.I. Joe now. But his writing is so good that I'm hooked on the new G.I. Joe series. Oh, wow. And so I'm really looking for. forward to see what he can do with the new legion. It is going to be quite a bit different from the

what you may know, Scott, from when the Legion started. In this case, RJ Brand, who in the original Legion of Superheroes is the one that there was an assassination attempt on him, but the three founding members, Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl prevented that. And so he started the Legion of Superheroes. In this one, RJ Brand is murdered, and Brainiac 1 of 5 is tasked with figuring out who did it and he's going to gather a bunch of of young kids together or teenagers or whatever young adults and try to solve the mystery of rj brand and bring the legion together that way oh interesting i like this art style it seems uh i don't know who's the artist it's not very it's very clean sherman hayden sherman i'm not sure i know his work but i like it

yeah yeah it's pretty interesting uh there was i should say there was a fourth short incarnation of the legion um probably 10 years ago dc was doing a bunch of backup stories in their comics. And Bill Quis Evilly, who is the artist behind the woman of tomorrow, what the upcoming This Week Supergirl movie is based on. She did a version of The Legion, which I love. I wish she would be the artist on this, but she's a little slower than what I think a monthly book could keep up with her.

Sure, sure. Or that she would be able to keep up with. Speaking of that Supergirl movie, any advanced reviews or anything yet? Or do we know anything? I don't think advanced reviews can come out until Tuesday or Wednesday. So they should be out this week. There are some people that have been allowed to make some comments saying this wasn't what I was expected. What I was expecting, it was better than what I was expecting.

So that may be a plus for people that go and see it. But of course, there's a lot of negative online discourse. Of course. You have a strong female need and something. That is the biggest waste of your brain that you can do is get involved in any of the online discourse around Super. Yeah. It's so stupid, dude. What a waste of space.

It's really bad. I would say if you've, so Tom King, who wrote Woman of Tomorrow is very controversial, mainly because he puts his characters, the DC characters, through a lot of trauma, like a lot of trauma. And a lot of that probably has to do with his time in Baghdad working for the CIA. But so he's very polarizing for comic book readers. And this book was also very polarizing. but I will say Scott, if you are someone that likes true grit,

I do. The Woman of Tomorrow comic book series is basically true grit, but with superheroes in space. All right, I'm down. Oh, wow, okay. And I am totally, I love Tom King. I'm an unapologetic Tom King reader. So I'm of whatever percentage of that fan base that I hear he's writing and I get all excited.

So there'll be no love lost here. I'll be excited about it. Yeah. I'm excited. That's cool. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited. We've got our tickets for Wednesday night. It's either me going with Tina, me going alone, or me going with Uncle George. Tina's having cataract surgery on Wednesday.

Or me not going at all if Tina needs me to stay home, of course, is the fourth option. But, yeah, I've got tickets for Wednesday night before we knew what day Tina's cataract surgery was going to be. So she's hoping she can go and see it. Should be able to next day. Both eyes or just one eye? Just one. Yeah, well, it's not next day. It's same day.

It's Wednesday night. Oh, Wednesday night. She's having a surgery Wednesday morning and then the movie's Wednesday night. That might be tricky. I found that a day after mine, they stopped. Because there's like a weird, like everything's, like you have sand in your eyes, the feeling of it. And it was really kind of intolerable the first day. So like have your eye open kind of thing.

Yeah. It was better the next day. But if it's that same night, she may not want to. She may not. And that's totally fine. Yeah. And if she tells me to stay home, I'll stay home. Which theater are you going to?

Almo Draft House. Do they have a popcorn bucket? Oh, I bet they do. They haven't advertised it. Let's see here. It should be a big red son. I know one place has a Lobo one. Another one has a, is it a crypto one?

I mean, Lobo makes sense, right? They want to push that. I am not seeing a, I'm not seeing a popcorn bucket, which surprises me. It says they don't have one. They have a crypto charm. Instead, they have a charm, so you can get a charm. You know what?

Oh, I see. Yeah, the charm's all right. Another wrong with the charm. Oh, wait. Why is there a KFC bucket with that dog in it? What is that about? That's a KFC. Oh, it's just a promotion.

Go to KFC. Yeah, no, go to KFC and do it. I would go to KFC, but they closed our KFC down about five, six years ago. Oh, really? You don't have a KFC in town. Don't have a KFC in town. We got a Popeye. instead, which, you know, hey, that's a pretty good trade-off.

Yeah, we don't have a movie theater in town, which I've talked about before, and to make matters worse, over in Salina, Kansas, which is about an hour and a half away, their mall, which was a, had an AMC-8 theater, a huge storm blew through a couple of months ago and totally ruined the roof of that mall. And so, like, every store closed in that mall, including the AMC theater. So even in Salina, they don't have movie theaters anymore because of the AMC closing. Way to go. For me, it's like drive an hour and a half to Great Bend.

Go to Russell, which only has one theater, one screen, no pre-sell of tickets, and you don't know how long the movie's going to stick around and they only do one showing a night. So it's like hard to go see a movie unless I'm willing to drive to Wichita, and that's like three hours. Yeah, who wants to drive to Wichita? The answer is nobody. Do you ever see this thing? The Tron. Oh, that's cool.

The Tron one. Look at that. I didn't know they made that. All right. That is really cool. Then you've got, you know, popcorn for two people. One person can have extra butter. The other person can lighten it up.

Yeah. I didn't even know they did this. I'd get one of those. Sorry, Brian. So the event that I'm seeing is called a stunning HDR by Barcoe, which pushes brightness, contrast, and detail into interstellar territory. Oh. Like it's a special screening, a fan first barco, HDR fan first screening.

So I don't know. This will be interesting. Sounds weird. It sounds like they're just. cranking the, uh, all of the dials up to max for the, yeah, you gotta compete with, um, what's that Disney one that's coming? Oh, uh, what is the Disney one? It's like, illumination, not illuminations.

Something like that, but it's supposed to compete with iMacs to be better with brightness, color and everything. Oh, really? Oh, interesting. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. I don't know. That's the new 3D or something.

Who knows? Yeah. Uh, let's get to Snake Pliskin for a minute. Oh, who doesn't love some snake pliskin? Yeah. I don't look, man. And I love some escape from L.A. and New York. And well, L.A. is pretty bad, but I still enjoy watching it.

And with news that they're going to reboot or remake the New York one. Yes. I don't remember who the director is tied to that, but it seemed kind of like it has some potential. Anyway, with that all going on, how about some Snake Pliskin comics? I don't mind if I do. Tell me more. So Kyle Higgins, who's a really great, another really great writer, he is writing, Escape from New York, colon, escape from Chicago. So we could probably just say escape from Chicago.

But this time Pliskin is ferrying people in and out of the prison city, Chicago, with Val Rodriguez doing the art on that. This is, of course, based on the John Carpenter movies. And what's interesting is that John Carpenter has his own comic book company called Storm King Comics. And I was surprised that this didn't go over onto that comic book publishing line. But if Mad Cave Studios is willing to pay you to license it, then let somebody else do all the time. Absolutely.

It's kind of throwing me off here. It's called Escape from New York, Escape from Chicago. Yeah. Because Escape from New York is like that branding. It's just kind of weird the way that reads. It's like if they called the movie Superman, Supergirl. Yeah. Yeah.

Don't be doing that, movies or comics. But anyway, I love this stuff. So I'm excited about a remake. I like the old stuff. I'd be happy to read some comics. You know, let's get this going again. You think, I mean, they'd probably just cameo him, but you can't put, what's his name in there?

Why not? I mean, you can, but he's a thousand years old. Kurt Russell? Yeah, he's like in his late 70s. Use Wyatt. Yeah, you could use Wyatt. That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, it would be a really good one.

Just use Wyatt for all your young Kurt Russell needs. Exactly. It works for, forget de aging. It's great for Monarch, Legacy of Monsters, using Wyatt for young Kurt Russell. do it for everything. I think I agree with that. All right, well, that looks pretty cool.

There's also My Adventures with Green Lantern TV series. Tell me about this. What's this? Do you guys watch The My Adventures with Superman on, what is it, Adult Swam Cartoon Network? I forget. It's really great. The first season was excellent.

I started getting that push to me during Rick and Morty, like during the commercials for Rick and Morty. It's like, all right, this actually looks really cool. Is it from Jimmy Olson's perspective? Is that the deal? No, it is, it is, it is Superman story, but Jimmy Olson, his roommates with Superman, and it is kind of like Lois and Clark falling in love with one another kind of thing. It's a really cute story. The animation style is really neat.

And they've done, they're starting their third season of this. And this time around, they're telling the, I think it is the life and death of Superman story arc where they've got the cyborg, Superman showing up and causing all sorts of chaos in season three. But in, I think it's the second episode, the Green Lantern shows up. And it is the, oh, I forgot her name off the top of my head. It is the Muslim Green Lantern from the Green Lantern series. Oh, yeah. And they are going to be following her. No, maybe she's not Muslim, but it's a cruise is the character's last.

Okay. And they're going to follow her as she gets one of the green lantern rings and becomes the next green lantern of Earth, or one of the two green lanterns of Earth. Is she green or is she, does she control purple? No, she's green. She's Earth. Yeah, she's from Earth. Okay. I'm thinking of Sapphire or something, then probably.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Star Sapphire. Yeah. It's okay, Brian. We know you're a Marvel fan. I am. Sorry. This is already, this is already stretching my Legion of Superhero's supergirl knowledge to its limits.

So wait a minute. I always forget this. There are always two per planet. There's always two, yeah. Okay. Per sector. Now it's not per planet. Oh, it's per sector. Okay.

Yeah. So Hal Jordan and, if we're in the DCU, we're talking about that new series, you got Hal Jordan and John Stewart occupying the position at the same time. Like, is Guy Gardner involved. Guy Gardner is involved because he does show up in one of the, one of the episodes, he will show up in those. Okay. And so my understanding is, um, in the lantern series that's coming up. how Jordan is about to retire and he's training John Stewart as his replacement. Oh, got it. Okay. That makes sense.

Which doesn't, I mean, yes and no. Because typically you are a green lantern until you die and then the ring goes out and finds the replacement based on your ability to. Oh, are they trying to force a replacement? That's weird. Right? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm interested in seeing it. But unfortunately, Zaslov is still in charge at Warner Brothers. so I don't subscribe to anything

HBO so. Until he's out of there. Is he? I thought he was retiring. I mean, if Paramount takes over, I may still boycott because the Ellison's, especially David Ellison, has poor taste and can't act.

So why is he running a studio? I love you. You have the firmest opinions on these two Sundays. And you know what? You have your guns and you stick to them, and I love that about you. That's great, man. No, I mean, like, there was a recent report

that said that if this closes, at least 8,500 people are going to be let go. And I've said it's going to be higher than that. I said it's going to probably be around 10,000 people that let go if this merger goes through. This merger is bad. This merger is bad for you. It's bad for me. It's bad for anybody.

It's only good for Zazlov and the other C-Sweaters. That's it. Yeah. I mean, he's going to walk away with like $850 million when this thing finishes and he's allowed to exit. Yeah. It's some real bullshit. Yeah. No, it is.

It's really bad. So, yeah, I'm still all these years later, I want to see the second season of, of a peacemaker. I want to see, you know, all these other things. But if I have to pay money directly to Zazlov, it ain't going to happen. Yeah, I can do it.

Yeah. Got to find a complex way to do it. Yeah. Well, let's all pile on him instead of Marvel. Why is Marvel getting dumped on online? What's happening? All right. So there's a lot of stuff lying about Marvel right now.

You know that they can't come up with new ideas. The comic book side, they keep launching these five-issue miniseries to see which one sticks and it's confusing readers. There's a report that came out that there's at least one artist who's having trouble getting Marvel to pay them. And like everybody, Rob Liefeld, like everybody is just dunking on Marvel right now for a variety of different reasons.

Some of it is very much earned dunking. But I want to just caution people that sometimes it's fun to jump on the pile and dog pile on and say, yeah, we're going to do this too. And that actually could probably have some longer bad consequences for everybody than good consequences. And so, you know, just because everybody's jumping on the dog pile about let's let's poopoo everything Marvel, that could have serious repercussions on the back end. Yeah, people may not be excited that they're paying $500 million or whatever it's going to be for this upcoming Avengers movie. But if that thing collapses because people don't want to see it, same way with Supergirl, but if that thing collapses, lapses because people are having, you know, Marvel is bankrupt creatively kind of things.

This is all Disney's fault, et cetera. That can have serious repercussions for any movie going forward, any franchise going forward. So before you dunk, make sure you know the reasons for dunking on Marvel. So this isn't directed at the comics division specifically. It's kind of the whole pie or whatever. Yeah, it's kind of the whole pie, but specifically like this five-issue mini-series thing that Marvel is doing is very confusing because they, They keep swapping out writers and creatives. They're forcing writers to do these five-issue miniseries to see how they fly.

And if it does, then maybe it'll stick around. So much so that Dan Slott, who is like our modern great Spider-Man writer, wrote over 100 issues, wrote more issues than Stanley of Spider-Man. Jeez. Had to go online and say, hey, everybody, can you please buy my Spider-Man book? Because I'd like to keep writing Spider-Man. And everyone's like, why has Dan Slot him to beg people to read his stuff? It's because, you know, Marvel doesn't care anymore. Rob Lifel is all over Marvel about some of the...

They're behind the scenes practices that they're doing. There was another artist that went online this weekend that was like, yeah, I'm having trouble getting Marvel to pay me for the art duties for a comic that's already been released. And that kind of stuff just keeps going and going and going. So a lot of people are not super fans of Marvel. Some of their X-Men titles are in trouble right now. And so, yeah, a lot of people are just like, let's all make fun of Marvel and let's all bag on them for, yeah, just pile on, just to pile on.

on. And I don't think that's good for any industry. Hold them to account, but, uh, maybe, hold them to account for things that they should be held accountable for, but don't, don't lump everything all in together. Yeah. Because I mean, Marvel is still doing some really great stuff. It's also more, it's always more nuanced than people think anyway.

There's, there's only one thing I know for sure about anything is that everything's more complicated than you think it is. Yes. You think you've got it all figured out. You're some fanboy and, you know, wherever you are. And you've got it all figured out. really don't. You have no idea. This happens in the gaming space so bad. It's so bad that everyone's like, ah, this one thing happened and therefore it equals B. And it's like, no, it doesn't.

It equals like a giant wall full of really messy calculations. It's never as simple as people think it is. So just remember that. Well, I will say this, though, in regards to the five-issue miniseries, that's kind of a, it's kind of a bad thing to do it at five issues and then be done. It's to be a couple of years ago, you would get a 12-issue run of Mark Wade and, I forgot the artist doing a long run of Black Widow. And it was a great series. And then once that was done, it's like, okay, we're going to have another creative team come in and we'll do another volume of 12 issues and we'll do that run. But they've shortened it down to where, you know, five issues used to be six issues was your common trade. But the problem is, by the time you get the data on the sales

of the first issue, you've already completed the solicitations for the fifth issue. So you don't even know, and you've already decided whether the series is going to continue or cancel, before the first issue basically has enough time to sit on the shelf for fans to find it. And I think that that's not a good, good way to run a business. This is what happened to D.C. back in the late 70s, early 80s, where they had their implosion and explosion, where they were going to do all of these huge. new relaunches and totally change how the comic industry worked. But then this winter storm came in and crippled the delivery for like several weeks of the mail system,

which mean people couldn't get comics, which means by the time the sales numbers came in, they were super low. And before they could even launch, really, really launch their huge DC line. The bean counters were like, oh, this is obviously a failure. We need to scrap everything right now. And I kind of see that same thing happening with Marvel in this five-issue run right now. They do tend to kind of repeat history in the comic business, don't they? That happens a lot.

Especially the big two. They just are like always someone's having a flying high moment and then the next, the other one's struggling. And now we're back and we're kind of flipping it the other way again. It's just weird that we do that. Yeah, it'll flip back another way. But you know what I think, though, Scott? I think that perhaps people should be checking out Kickstarter to look for comics

because even smaller publishers, Boom Studios, Dynamite Entertainment, and others are using Kickstarter to have very successful comic book runs and campaigns. And that's what I wrote about this week today, in fact, on the Major Spoilers newsletter that people can subscribe to when they go to major spoilers.com. And I talk about how Kickstarter is the new comic book store and why this happened and why people need to maybe pay a little bit more attention to that than going into your comic book shop every Wednesday. Well, there you go.

I like it. Alternate ways to get your comics fixed. That's right. I saw that show up this morning. Yeah. It's good stuff. Thank you, Brian. All right.

Well, there you go. Go check it out. Major Spoilers.com, everybody. Sign up if you haven't already. Support a great network doing great work. Stephen, anything else going on that you'd like to mention? No, lots of good podcast coming out over the couple of weeks. If you are familiar with the game Lancer, the RPG game, we are currently playing that on critical hit.

New episodes arrive every Saturday morning. Well, I look forward to that. You ain't got no movie theater, but you've got plenty of content. That's right. Stay out of trial. Oh, should I be drinking? Stay hydrated, Scott. Okay, it's the summertime.

Stay hydrated. Should I be drinking right now? No, chili dogs, though. I won't drink those. No, don't drink the chili dogs. Guys, we got an email here, lined up, all lined up, ready to be read. It goes like this.

This is about the jugs of pee. It's high marks and angles. I'm not sure what that references. I'm not sure yet, but I'm sure it's related to what you see. I'll figure it out. So does it seem to 3,017s, pre-show. Did you know if you support your Patreon? You get to listen to

the pre-show? Imagine that, he says. Thank you for the plug there. Scott mentioned that as a kid. He thought he'd like to live in a cave, but not now. Here's my question. I still don't know what those names are. Karl Marx and Friedrich

Engels who co-authored the Communist Manifesto. Did they write it in a cave or something? Not that I could tell. So. I still don't know why it's a reference in this. But all right. He said, so I said I would have liked it, but I wouldn't now.

He says, here's my question. Where are you, quote, right now, unquote. I guess those are asterix. Anyway, I suspect you're sitting in an underground room. Yeah. He's right. That you spend a good portion of your day of your life in that underground room. He's right.

Probably true. Yeah. I suspect you're sitting in an underground room that you, oh, I read that. It might be a little nicer and more furnished than a natural underground room, but I do believe you are fulfilling your childhood dream of living in a cave. You just call it by a different name. Thanks for the great show. A man cave.

Yeah. Been listeners since sometime before episode 70 of the instance. I remember what a big deal you guys made of hitting level 70 because now that that show happened during TBC. That is true. Take care, Judd. I still don't know why Marx and Engels are on here. However. I don't either.

Is it very communist to live in a cave? Is that the thing? Is that the idea? I don't know. Maybe there's something to that. I don't know. But they wrote it in a cave? says Adam of Geekind.

That's a submitted title, so I don't know if it's true or if he... Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Someone's going to have to clear that up. But yeah, you know what? You make a really good point. This is a man-made cave. Yeah.

And I am in it. Okay? It's not the... Now, when I was a kid, the dream was, like, kind of dank and wet, and, like, there's, like, stalactites and mites. And, you know... You want a, like... true cave like you'd like a cave that you pay

money to go in now these days. You'd have a ticket to go through that cave. I'd be happy to meet in the middle and have basically the bat cave. So you have all the natural stuff, but then you're also hyper technical in there and have all the internet and the computers and the whatnot like

Bruce Wayne does. That would be cool. Oh, of course. I mean, that's who doesn't want a bat cave. Yeah, but I can't do that in here. I can't fake it. No. No. I'll just have to fake until I make it. Yeah. Judd,

thanks for that message. That email came to us at the morning stream at gmail.com. If you'd rather send a text or a voicemail, you can do that at frogpants.com slash TMS.

And for all your other needs, that's the website to go to. You'll find it all there. Quick PSA. Today, the Monday show, will be at 1 p.m. Mountain Time per yuge. Me and Carter doing it up.

Cool. I think we might talk more about the book project today. Oh, nice. Yeah, we'll see how much we want to, not leak, but let out of it.

about that. I'm hoping that I get a chance to listen. I have 18 chapters to record before June 30th of the audiobooks. So, uh, that's a lot. It's a lot. And I've got a bike ride in the middle of that. So 20 second. You have until the 30th. Jeez. Yeah. I've got eight days to record 18 chapters. But I'm getting it down to where it only takes me. It was taking me an hour to do. It's like 15 minutes of recording and then 45 minutes of editing. I'm getting it down to about 40 minutes total. So about still the same 15 minutes of recording, but now I'm able to edit in about 25 minutes. Per chapter? That's not bad. Per chapter. So I can do this. I'm going to be able to do this. All right. I'm excited. Anyway, watch for that coming soon, too. That book. That'll be a thing people
