Package Unit.com.
It's Friday. Friday.
Gotta get down on Friday.
Everybody's looking forward to the weekend.
Weekend.
Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS Friday.
This is the Friday edition of the show that we do for the morning stream listeners
who are patrons.
But today it's going to everybody because we missed Thursday's show for
sort of last minute doctor's appointment.
And when that happens, we like to make sure everybody gets a little piece of the pie.
All right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You get a show and you get a show.
Look under your chair.
Everybody gets a show.
Everyone has a show.
Nobody goes home empty-handed.
Sit down and relax.
You get some previously chewed gum.
You get some previously chewed gum.
Look at your chair.
Everybody gets previously chewed gum.
Mmm, tasty.
The flavor is still there somehow.
It's Scott Johnson and Brian Ebbott and we are here to bring it to you.
Now, here's the...
the deal. Brian usually sees a movie
on Thursday, but there really wasn't much.
There wasn't much. Yeah, I, you know,
believe me, I would have happily
gone to see Spider-Man a second time,
picked up on things I missed the first time.
But, no,
because of their work schedules, it's very
difficult to get time to go out
to dinner with Tristan and
Kay, my son
and his wife, my daughter-in-law, Kay.
And Thursday
is typically the only night that they can do it.
so because they weren't able to go out to habachi with us for my birthday we decided oh let's go out to dinner
Thursday night nothing good coming out in the theater so it works out perfectly and um
Kay had never had Indian food before ever and ever and and so we're like all right let's let's go out
and get some Indian food let her try you know we get her first experience with a no pun intended Sherpa
uh like us to kind of you know guide her through the tika masales and the vindalus and the sagpaneers
and stuff like that sure and um uh and she enjoyed it we went up to this place in boulder called
catmandu too it's the the sequel to the restaurant catmandu that's somewhere else in the city
might not even still be a catmandu one actually now that i say that this might be the only location
But the reason we picked it is because it's buffet style, and they're really, I've been there so many times I know the mom.
It's a mom and pop-owned place.
They're, God, the sweetest people, they're Himalayan.
And so they also have a couple Himalayan dishes, which are very similar.
Still cooked in a tendery oven and stuff.
Yeah, Himalayan.
Himalian food's amazing.
Really good.
It's really, really good.
But 99% of the stuff they put out is,
is Indian and it's like they they put out you know it's it's on a big steam tray but it's
smaller bins that they can replace when they cook new stuff so stuff isn't sitting out there for
hours and hours and hours um however it's really clear by by when we were there uh very clear to
see that it's a big haven for college students who want to pay 20 bucks and eat a ton of food
like eat until they burst basically yeah we got the munchies
man, I gotta get in there. Exactly. Yeah. It's, you know, it's the
Boulder's a college town and so it's, oh, let's go get, let's go
get, uh, can't men do tonight. Cool. Load up.
Yeah. Um, but, uh, yeah, she really enjoyed it. We, um,
kind of got her through all of the, all of the standards, like I said,
the chicken tika masala and, um, yellow curry and sagpaneer and, um, man, you know,
You put that sock paneer in front of me when I'm 10 years old.
There's no way I'm going to touch that thing.
But now it's like, it's what I, it's my go to on that buffet.
It's so good.
Sounds awesome right now.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you get any leftovers?
No, because they.
Oh, no, it's buffet style, though.
It's buffet style.
So they actually have a thing saying no, no take home.
Although, because I go there a lot, I've been there with my, one of my freelance clients, Alan.
And he, he knows the family there really well, too.
He's the one introduced me to them and said, hey, can I get a box?
And they never even questioned it with him.
They're like, yeah, no problem.
Take it home to Minty?
Yep, cool.
All right.
That's what's great about mom and pop places where you get to know the people.
They take care of you, man.
They do.
They absolutely do.
That's awesome.
I'm jealous.
I would love to eating that last night.
Yeah, good stuff.
I got a burger craving and ended up with like a, these burgers over at Tony Burger.
Tony makes good burgers.
They're good.
It's kind of a local institution.
But I just kind of picked the wrong one.
It wasn't great.
Oh, really?
Or maybe it was just the wrong day for the kind I got or I got, it was a, what do you call it,
blue bacon burger like the, okay, blue cheese, bacon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a great, such a great combo.
I think something about the heat, just the heat and that cheesy, saucy way those burgers get.
It's not a good combo.
That's a better burger to get in the fall.
I should have waited.
Interesting.
I mean, it's not like it's blue cheese.
season.
No, it's not a season thing.
You think that any time of year would be fine for blue, blue cheeseburger, blue bacon
burger.
It's something about that flavor or that.
It doesn't match well with heat for me, like the hot of the summer.
And we ate it outside, so maybe that's part of the problem.
But it's just like kind of liquefies and I don't know.
Just didn't do it for me.
But one of us ate well, the other one ate poorly.
That's how it.
Guys, I got to show you this.
This is hilarious.
And I want to know if Brian may know the end.
answer to this. So I was on
Reddit and there's a, somebody posted
this screenshot and they were at the gym.
And this is what they saw on their overhead TV
at the gym. Yeah.
This question for $250,000
on who wants to be a millionaire, says
She clearly
is flummoxed by it.
Oh yeah. She doesn't know. I mean, she doesn't know what to say.
Here's the question. According
to his authorized
biography, Steve Jobs would sometimes
do what with a toilet bowl after
sorry, with toilet bowl water at Apple offices.
And your answers were A, soak his feet,
B, wash his armpits,
B, ferment kombucha, or D, fill water pistols to spray at employees.
Yeah, yeah.
I couldn't believe any of these are real, but you're right.
A is the right one.
He soaked his feet.
Yeah.
He would get stressed and he would like,
it would chill him out to put his feet in the cold water.
Now, if I were playing, like if I were in the huts seat and I didn't know this answer, right?
I would see that fill water pistols
Basically I would see that fourth answer there
And if you put it back up on screen
It's like they've got you know three shorter answers
And then a big long answer that's jammed into a into a single spot
And if I didn't know the answer
My immediate thought would be oh well that's got to be the right answer
Because if they're coming up with other answers
To you know
To fit the category
They're not going to come up with one that is super dumb and long that has to be squished to fit in the space that they've got.
Yeah.
But, yeah, in this case, they did.
So they blew my whole theory about, no, they never write something that long when, you know, he could have written something shorter.
Do we know if she got this?
Does anybody know if she ended up winning?
I don't know how to do this is.
No, no idea.
Let me look it up here.
I don't even know who that is.
Like what, I'm not even, I'm sure.
They're currently doing, they're currently doing.
Yeah, it's absolutely a millionaire.
And they're currently doing celebrity millionaire.
Oh, my gosh, that is Wendy MacLendon Covey.
Oh, really?
Yeah, that's Beverly Goldberg.
Oh, all right.
You know, 9-1-1.
And she did not get the answer.
It was her and, oh, my gosh.
She does a nice ring.
Daily show.
She does have some of it.
Those rings are nice.
I'd wear those if I was a lady.
Even as a dude.
I might wear those.
it's
Michael Cost Costa from a daily show
oh no way
because she did daily show stuff didn't she
did she back in the day I don't remember yeah
and they missed this one it was their
what was the number on there
250 million yeah yeah or 250 million
250 grand question and they missed it they said
they actually did pick the
the squirt guns one
are they playing
Um, for charity is what?
Yeah.
That's what this is?
Yeah, for charity.
And is that all this is anymore or is there regular contestants on the show?
I didn't even know the show is still going.
I think it's all, it's hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
And God, they had one.
The last one I've seen, so this must be brand new.
The last one I saw was Larry David and his daughter.
And didn't even know he had a daughter, right?
but she is hilarious.
She looks a little bit like Mikey Madison from Anora.
She younger?
Like 20s or something?
Yeah, she seems like she's in her 20s.
He's sort of late with the kids.
Yes, he did.
But she has got a, like you have to,
if you grow up in a house with Larry David,
I assume she grew up at least for some time
with Larry in the house.
but you grow up with a real sarcastic wit
and uh
it's her right here she does look like what's her name
yeah
um
you can tell she she takes no crap
from anyone that look right there says
zero F's
oh she was dating why does everyone date this guy
hold on don't tell me machine gun Kelly
no this dude john davidson
oh Pete Davidson
or Pete why
John Davidson was on real people
uh because
reportedly
he's got a
he's got
massive endowments
okay
go ahead
place a mark
in my column
Monica go ahead
so why
that's how he
that's really a thing
see it seems like
if you were
if you were a famous person
and then later you were
like I think I'm going to date
Pete
everyone would just say
oh you're doing that
because
I mean
they're not going to say
it's because of the
dark bags under his eyes
I really
I'm really drawn to the heroin chic look.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's wild.
I don't know if she still is or not, but that photo was...
Yeah, but I mean, he was with Ariana Grande, who's the British actress, not Cura Knightley.
She was in serendipity.
She was in...
Oh, my gosh.
Why am I blanking on her name?
I don't know.
Is that a recent one?
No.
One of the Freaky Beckinsale.
Oh.
Thank you.

Hold on, you gotta see this list.

Oh, Jessica Beals who I'm thinking of.
Oh, yeah, Jessica Beal.
Yeah, she, that's right.
Yeah, she's married to Justin.
Yeah.
I knew it wasn't, I knew the name you were looking for was not Lance Bass.
I was pretty confident that that, definitely not that guy.
Look at that list I just put in our TMS Discord folder.
That is, um, his, the 11 year dating history from 2015 to 2026.
Man, this dude never slows.
down. No, he really doesn't.
4, 5, 6, 7.
Margaret Qualley.
10, 11, 12.
Geez.
Yeah.
So that's one,
that's more, that's one point something people per year.
That he's with, you know,
that he's like with for a period of time.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
And Quali was 2019.
dated a couple of months in the autumn.
In the autumn.
I love that.
Oh, yes.
Pete Davidson, Margaret Qualley dated for a couple of months in the autumn.
And I forgot he was with Kim Kardashian after the, oh, yeah.
The Ye fallout.
Boy, the, yeah, Kanye did not have nice things to say about Pete Davidson for that whole time.
Oh, he has a kid with the latest one.
Yeah, with Elsie Hewitt.
I don't know who she is.
So wait, where's, I don't see, oh, Cassie David.
That's the second one.
That's her.
That's Larry David's daughter then.
Oh, oh, Cassie.
Cassie David.
Yeah. That's a weird name.
I feel like there's an episode of Seinfeld about that.
Chase Sway Wonders. Why do I know that name?
No.
She was in. I know what she did last summer, the remake.
Oh, the studio. Okay. That's what I've seen her in.
All right. Well, well done, Pete Davidson. You did it. You pulled it off.
That's right.
Digital hype says TMS Friday, the Us Weekly Edition. Yes. Next we're going to talk about who were at best.
Yeah. That's right.
right. Who needs TMZ when you have this show
on a Friday? That's right. Exactly.
We won't tell you when people die, though, because we don't
have that kind of information. No, but we'll
talk about them the day before.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Well,
better luck next time to
Lady from Reno 911.
I hope you get your 250 grand
for charity. Some other way. Maybe
maybe by working hard and continuing
to do great sitcom performances.
Yeah, that's really all we can ask for me.
She is hilarious. I don't think, I don't know if you've seen
that.
the hospital one, St. Dennis, medical, St. Dennis.
I've seen some. I guess it didn't occur to me. She was in it. I didn't get that far. Maybe.
I saw a little bit of it. She's in every episode. She's the director of the hospital.
I probably spaced it. I think I saw that first episode went, oh, I'll like this. I'll wait until these are all out.
And then I never got you. And then, yeah, I never went back to it. We'll go back to it.
Is that still a thing or do they end that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Nope. There's that, I believe it's been renewed.
It's been picked up as the
tabloids say.
Nice. I'm into it.
I want to watch it.
I like comedy.
Yeah, and that's a great ensemble comedy.
I mean,
Alison Tolman from Fargo,
Josh Lawson,
David Allen Greer is hilarious in it.
I like him.
It might be my favorite thing that
David Allen Greer is in.
I feel like we went a long time
without him in anything, didn't we?
We did, yeah.
Yeah, kind of disappeared.
Yeah.
It's like in living color and then a bunch of movie rolls and then poof, nothing.
It's good to know he's back.
Yes.
All right, guys, we're going to do some well-actuallys.
You guys have been correcting us and we may as well take those corrections in stride.
Let's do those, Brian.
Oh, I got a thing to play for that.
Oh, yes.
Play our.
Well, actually.
There you go.
All right.
Let's start with TARDIS.
We talked about this.
TARDIS isn't a acronym.
It was referred to as an acronym for time.
relative dimension in space in the very first episode in 1963. You might be meaning to say that
in its conception the word came first, but I don't think I've ever found any description how that
came about. It's not like TARDIS is a normal word person I think of. Well, I mean, if the word came
first and then they came up with what it stood for, then that means it's a backronym.
Yeah, that's the definition of a backronym. Yeah. So I don't know if that's a, if there's a
background of this thing but I you know what I honestly thought that that because of the
show TARDIS has became a nickname for police boxes oh and so I didn't know that I know I
don't know if that's true now I thought that I thought that they did though in the UK
like so I don't know for sure all right the mountain in Scotland according to
Travis is Ben Nevis which translates to the mountain of the Nevis nevis
is a river and Ben Nevis is the mountain next to it near Fort Willing
Scotland. So we had talked about
I think someone
got trapped on the mountain in one of our
news stories and we were like, the name of the
mountain is Ben Nevis. That's the
name of the person who
Simonizes my car at the dealership.
Yeah, sounds like a dude.
So, wait, so Ben
in some Gaelic or ancient tongue
or whatever means mountain.
It means mountain. Interesting.
So when they say Big Ben in Europe,
obviously it's that clock, but
it's actually the bell.
Is it the bell?
The bell, I think, is the, is Big Ben.
Oh, am I getting this wrong?
It's not the tower.
It is the bell?
Big Ben is not the tower.
Zoe.
Or is it, or is it the clock?
Zoe seems to confirm.
Okay, yep, confirmed.
It's the bell inside.
So when they say that, some people hear...
Big Mountain.
Big Mountain.
Yeah.
I don't know.
There might be connection between the two,
between the term for mountain and the bell inside there, but probably not.
John C. A Philly Codhound says John C. Dvorak was the nephew of the Dvorak keyboard
layout person per Wikipedia. So they were related.
Well, I claimed it was his dad. So that's the correction.
But yeah, they were actually related. I just gave him the wrong relation.
They were not relations. It was his uncle.
They were not relations.
Yeah. This actually surprised me.
P.W. said, well, actually, you were discussing lyrics for TV theme songs that were usually
instrumentals for shows like Bonanza and the Andy Griffith show. There's a well-known scam about
adding lyrics to TV themes that he said he was surprised that I didn't mention. Basically,
royalties are paid to the composer every time a theme that I know. If you officially attach
lyrics to a theme, then the royalties get split 50-50 between the composer and the lyricist,
even if only the instrumental gets played. So notoriously, Gene Roddenberry officially attach
lyrics to the Star Trek theme without the original composer's knowledge and got paid half the royalties.
It's possible the lyrics to Bonanza and Andy Griffith show are the same scam.
I don't understand how you get away with that, though.
I know. It does see. It's so shady, such a shady deal.
And it seems like there's a lot of it going on, certainly in the 60s, because that's every
example we've mentioned is from that era. Right. Right. I wonder if that's still true.
Like, is it still true? Does someone take, does the Breaking Bad theme?
have lyrics and someone gets half the stuff because of it.
Right.
If somebody rewrote some lyrics to that, would they automatically get, you know,
you don't know how you officially, you have to be able to officially tie those lyrics to the things.
So you have to have some permission to the, from the showrunner or somebody.
Yeah, I'm going to guess.
I'm guessing that stuff has changed some.
It has to.
But that seems crazy.
It's like Roddenberry comes in one day.
Hey, you guys, guess what I did?
I wrote some lyrics.
Now I get half the money anyway.
Exactly.
Because I wasn't getting enough from.
everything else on the show, but yeah.
All right.
I'm going to, when we're done here, I'm going to go ahead and write some lyrics to the Miami Vice
theme.
Oh, great.
We'll see.
I love it.
We'll see how it goes.
All right.
Check it out.
Let's see.
Philly Codhound.
This one we did cover.
Great Britain is Scotland, England, and Wales.
UK is both islands.
Ireland, Northern Ireland.
I'm sorry.
United Kingdom.
We're not going to get into this again.
No.
Because I'm going to end up screwing it up again.
Yeah.
But we, yeah.
the correction has already come over the wire.
That's right. Racer 951. Why
cleared up the Girl Scout cookies thing?
We talked about that on the east of the Mississippi, west of the
Mississippi, there are different names for things.
It's actually not even as clean as that.
There you go. That's the map right there.
So in the green areas, I don't know if it says which one is which.
But like, we're talking about-
And ABC bakers are the two here.
Yeah, and those are the baking companies.
Oh, I see.
So it's like the different cookie names.
So like, I think it was Samoa's or called something in the green, called something different in the in the, in the orange.
Yeah, they're either, it's one, one direction or the other.
But I think they now call those Samoas, they call them whatever the new thing is here.
So I think the green, unless that's changed, the green is the green is the new.
new name. Right. And the brown or whatever this color is is the, is the other one. Okay.
Or all the racists live. Just kidding. It's not true. All right. Let's get this out of the way.
The UK is not Ireland. It's Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England. Yeah. Didn't we say
that? I thought we said that. Do we not say that? I think I may have misspoke when I said it a minute
ago. All right. I thought you said it right. Well, actually from July 29, the Busy Bottom theme is My Life,
one of the first piano songs I tried to learn.
By the way, my wife and I were in Salt Lake
for the totally tubular festival last week.
And it was awesome, thanks to KT Data for the to-do list.
We managed to hit a couple of the places from near TACC.
Oh, nice.
Jeff.
Very cool, Jeff.
So, Buzz and Buddy's theme was called My Life.
It's the Billy Joel song.
I don't care what you say anymore.
This is my life.
I always forget they did that.
Yeah.
Did I?
And I'd be surprised if I said something different because I was a huge fan of that show.
I even have the DVD of all the episodes.
Yeah, and I don't think I know enough to have remembered that,
so I wouldn't have made a false claim about the song.
I think it's interesting.
Maybe.
Oh, you know what?
I might have mistaken and said it was moving out by Billy Joel.
Oh, I can see that.
They're similar.
Yeah.
They're cut from the same block of cheese, you know?
It's the same really good period of Billy Joel's career.
Sure.
That I really enjoyed.
Sure.
Sure, sure.
All right. And finally, TRPW says, well, actually, you were discussing vampires in their castles. Dracula only had a castle because he was an aristocrat account, to be precise. Of course, any self-respecting, long-lived vampire ought to be able to earn enough to buy a castle.
What was the conversation this came up then?
I don't remember. I don't remember talking about vampires and castles. Did it come up?
8.5. You know what it might have been? Oh, I think I know what it was.
What was it?
One of the code you gave away was V Rising, which is the vampire like survivor game.
It's not vampire survivor, but you create a vampire and he needs to, you know, suck blood and build his empire in this forest.
And part of that is you build a castle.
Okay.
I think we were talking about how, yeah, you got to hurry up and do all this stuff to get your castle.
Maybe that's what he's reacting to him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, could easily be.
Okay.
Cool.
Not sure.
But there you go.
TRPW.
Well done.
And well done, everybody, for your excellent work.
You can't count my mention of bosom buddies in the genital counter.
It does not, it does not apply.
What, oh, bosom?
Yeah, Monica's list of scoring general discussion.
I don't think bosom counts, does it?
No, it does not count.
Busom isn't genitalia, Wicked Kitten.
Exactly, exactly.
Right?
I mean, I know.
I say it's, I say it's not.
I know we cover them up.
I say if you can walk around with them out in Europe, then they're not
genitals.
I just watch that
Burning Man
documentary in HBO. Oh, how
was that? Very good. Highly recommend it.
Wild, that thing. Did it make you feel
gross after you watched it? A little bit. There are times
where I just like, how are you guys doing that
in that tent? Like, bleh.
But it's also a lot of art and it's dry
heat and it's fine. But whatever,
there's this
there's a whole, there's a part
of this thing where the first thing
these people do is drop their pants and
about how they're freeing the wiener and they walk around talking about it naked and it's an
HBO doc so there ain't no hiding any of that so it's just like an awkward it's like an awkward 10 minutes in
that documentary it's really interesting though because it's like a look at the history of the thing
but they get real things get gnarly for the pandemic and then it gets even weirder when they had that
storm and most of the stuff that happened during the storm stuck yeah when they got trapped out there
Yeah, but it wasn't as bad as the news made it seem.
Like, the news was acting like it was the biggest scandal mess in the history of anything.
Right.
And it really wasn't.
Like, it's an interesting thing.
Also, you think Elon Musk is kind of a pud?
Wait until you spend some time with his brother Kimball.
That guy's up.
I didn't realize.
I never knew he had a brother.
Yeah, he's got a brother named Kimball who doesn't make anything.
He just has all this adjacent money.
Yeah, rides the.
All you have to do is say.
Your brother. You don't even have to get money directly from him, I think. But he tries to muscle in. Like a lot of these like millionaire, multi-millionaire, billionaire people try to muscle in on the event and kind of take parts of it over and gentrify this or that or whatever. And he's kind of the worst. And he's off the board now. But for a while he was on the board. Anyway, I recommend that though. It's fun to watch. Yeah, definitely one I want to see. So I'm glad. I was really good. I watched it. Cool. All right. Well, there you go. Let's get to today's quiz, everybody.
All right. You ready for this?
I think so.
This is a little weird because the scoring is very odd,
but that's okay.
We're going to figure it out as we go.
Apparently, Brian has a bunch of questions to answer.
There are five possible lengths of song for you to determine from.
So this is not only short song clips, but short reversed song clips.
Correct.
Going from like a second, I think up to 10 seconds, I think.
I think that's right.
And three, five, ten. There we go.
And your deal will be to, I guess, you start with the lowest.
There's no reason to jump higher.
Yeah, no, exactly. And I get more points if I get it on the one versus getting on the three or the five or the ten.
Right. And then there's a whole like reveal at the end. And then he's giving me a scoring card. So there's the rough rules.
Okay. We're going to give this a shot. Here's number one. I haven't previewed any of this. So let's see if we can just figure it out as we go. So here we go. Here's number one.
Oh, that's easy.
oh is it yeah
I think
I think so but
wow I might be wrong
I'm not looking so I don't know
can you play it again for me
yeah here we go
wow
I'm gonna need the three
all right there's a three
here we go
oh
sandbar and I'm not looking at the answers
they don't actually show up
until I choose the thing
so
hmm
um
um
I might be wrong.
I have no idea.
I won't let me back again.
A heartful of soul is where I'm getting,
where I'm going with that.
I don't know if that's,
I don't know if that's right.
And there's no theme or anything like,
you know,
60s songs or 70s songs or 80s songs
or anything like that.
Let me check a spreadsheet.
He might have written something in here.
I don't think so, though.
Oh, it's just actually,
it's a cover.
Each song, let's see, that's it.
The only description is actually it's a cover.
Actually, it's a cover.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
I'm with it on the first one here because I don't think the heartful of soul that he would
pull from that I'm hearing is not a, is not a cover.
So I guess I need the five on this one.
Here's the fiver.
God.
It's still giving me heartful of soul vibes.
I'm going to say it's heartful of soul by
Who was the hit?
Have me back again.
The animals.
Let's find out.
Oh, it's not.
Let's see if I was right.
I'm going to do the song reveal.
Oh, Crimey.
Yeah.
Tainted love.
Yeah.
Tainted love.
Okay.
I thought that was right.
Yeah.
I wasn't sure about the band, though.
I wouldn't have got the band right.
Although, does he care about band on this?
I think he does.
Yeah.
Let's see.
No, he doesn't give us a way to score that.
He just gives us the timer.
So if you just said soft sell or tainted love,
I give it to you.
I feel like I should have to get both.
Okay.
All right.
We can do that.
That's a rule for me.
So on this one we hit missed.
Yeah, that one, that one absolutely, like looking at the chat room, it's like, oh, good
Lord, I absolutely should have gotten that.
But I never remember the name soft sell ever.
I don't know why.
That's funny.
It's like the band doesn't even exist in my.
I always remember Mark Allman.
I can't tell you the name of the.
The second guy in soft cell who passed away last year.
No, earlier this year.
Oh, recent.
Yeah.
He was the softest of the two cells.
He was the softer cell.
Softer cell of the two cells.
All right.
Here comes question number two.
I guess we'll just start with second clip.
Yeah.
Number one second clip.
Here we go.
Well, that one I don't know.
Here it is again because it's so short.
Yeah.
Is that?
I'm thinking I love rock and roll by Joan Jett.
Say that.
I'll say that.
Congratulations.
You did it.
That gives you.
Let's see.
Now this will actually tell me how the score.
So if I go one second,
I mean,
it doesn't originally by the arrows,
I believe.
It's not actually generating the code he made.
It just says,
it just lets me choose the one second and says you did it,
but there's no score generated from that.
Maybe you have to get it all through these.
I don't know. I don't know if Jamie tested this part.
Yeah, I think at the end it tells you that my final score.
Okay.
Yep.
All right, that's good to know.
Okay, let's move on to the next one.
Well done on that one.
Question number three.
Oh, God, that sounds familiar.
One more time.
And again, this is only, well, actually, it's only, so these are all covers.
Yeah.
Yep, these are all songs better known by their cover than the original.
I need the three.
All right.
Let's give you number three.
Three seconds.
Oh, respect by Aretha Franklin.
That is absolutely 100% correct.
Originally Otis Redding.
Yep.
Yeah.
All right.
So that was a three second.
Wow.
It does not sound like Aretha Franklin reversed.
Like it sounds like a higher, like a Shirley Bassy or something.
Oh, it really does.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's weird now that I hear it.
All right.
Question number four, this is,
we'll see that was three seconds, right?
Yep, got that on the three.
Here we go on four.
Here's your one second.
One more time.
That's a weird one.
It really is.
I think somebody needs to get a mark on the genital scoreboard.
That,
thinking rock and roll music by the Beatles,
but I'm not, I don't.
I need the three.
All right.
Here's the three.
Oh.
I think I hear it now.
Is it, is it Elvis Presley?
It sounds like Jail Cross Rock, but that was his originally.
That's totally what I'm hearing.
You get a replay.
Do you want to replay?
Let me have one more replay.
I just made that rule up,
but we'll just say you get a replay anything.
jeez all right um i mean that's elvis presley i'll tell you i'm gonna say jailhouse i'm gonna say jailhouse rock elvis presley
you are correct about presley yeah you're wrong about the song which one is this song
you ain't nothing about a hell of course it is yes big mama thornton uh yeah all right so that one goes
so if you don't get both names i think i have i'm gonna say i have to get both in order to get a point
All right.
That's going to be my rule.
All right.
Here is number five.
Your one second clip.
Jeez.
Sound a hard one.
One more time on that.
Yeah.
Why didn't it play?
Is it, my initial thought is Bengals.
Hazy shade of winter, but I don't think that's it.
Let's go to the three.
Oh, I do like that cover, though.
Yeah.
All right, here you go.
Blinded by the light.
That's Manfred Man's Earth Band covering Bruce Springsteen.
You are correct.
Well done.
Should have gotten that quicker.
Damn it.
You know, you did good.
That was a hard one with the short one.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Who gets that one?
That's great.
I thought it was hearing female vocals.
I could not get out of female vocals on that one.
All right.
Question number six.
And here is your one second clip.
What the heck?
was that. Wow. First thing I'm thinking
is spooky by Classics 4, but I don't think that's
it. Let's go. Let's get.
Oh, Black Magic
Woman, Santana. Let's see
if you're right. Why isn't
this button working? Here we go.
Nicely done. Fleetwood Mac on the original.
One second. Peter Green's
Fleetwood Mac, yeah. Yeah, he didn't
do. The one other thing he didn't do in here is included any of the
originals, but. Which is fine. That's what I'm
here for. You're probably all that.
All right. Here's
number
seven and our one second clip.
What in the heck?
Let me hear it again.
Wank, go back.
It's the drums after it that sounds really familiar.
I need the three.
There's the three.
I think the aliens are trying to contact it.
This is what got Emily Blunt and Disclosure Day right here.
This is killing me.
It's so familiar.
You want a second play on that one?
Let me give a second play on the three.
Yeah, it's like, um, uh,
I'd never get this one.
Rock on by David Essex is what's, um, no, that's not it.
It's not it.
Or is it?
It's that echo, because it's got an echo on it, like rocked on by David Isicks.
But again, I think that was the original.
All right.
Let me take the five.
All right.
Here's your five.
Golly.
That near dear thing is really throwing me.
It really is.
I couldn't do it.
I don't know how you do this one, but it's just me, maybe.
yeah i don't know why i mean it is it's sounding so familiar but let me get another play on the five
there you go
it's that drums too that
let's go ten
i didn't think i'd need to use one of these but
So the 10 is really just the five twice.
It kind of is.
Yeah, it really is.
This is killing me.
I don't know this one.
I got to take a zero on it.
All right.
This is, where's the real one?
Hold on.
Oh, there it is.
Okay, here we go.
For Pete's sake, it's the rap.
It's the rap part of red, red wine.
It makes me feel so fine.
You keep me rocking all of the dime.
Yeah, so red, red wine sounds like,
Neer, New.
Jeez.
Oh, man.
Originally, originally Neal Diamond.
Yeah, I like the Neal Diamond.
I do too.
It's fun to listen to.
I mean, if you've never heard it, it's weird
because you'll just think of 2B40, but it's really good.
Stupid rap interlude part,
which I really like, but it's, you know,
that's what gets me.
like you give me any of the Allie Campbell vocals.
I got no problem with it, but it's the,
yeah, I'm going to say,
I'm going to say it's not,
what's the word?
It's,
it's not like he's being unfair with that particular pick.
Yeah, yeah.
But, no, I should have gotten that
because I played freaking,
oh, what was that called?
It was, uh,
Labor of Love played that freaking CD over and over and over again.
That thing is burned into my brain.
did a cover of one of the songs on there,
like recorded our cassio tone cover of something on there.
Just weird, though,
because I only think of this song and kind of nothing else with UB40.
Yeah.
I bet,
you know,
there's,
they,
um,
even though I liked all of it.
I just don't remember it.
Like,
come and take me was a big hit for him.
Come and take me.
Here I am,
baby.
Yeah,
and,
um,
breakfast in bed was always my favorite with,
uh,
Chrissy Hind from the pretenders joining Allie Campbell and
doing a really cool duet cover of a dusty Springfield song.
All right.
Here is your number eight option.
And we're going to go ahead and play your one second clip to start that one off.
Oh, that's so familiar.
One more time.
Ebertababby.
All right, three, three seconds.
Is it I fought the law by the clash?
You would be.
I don't have this handy enough to do this right.
There we go.
Correct.
Nicely done.
All right.
You got that one.
Bobby Fuller.
Crickets and then Bobby Fuller 4.
Yep.
Nice.
All right.
We have,
here is your penultimate.
Okay.
Oh,
I just got a glance at the name.
I don't know how you're going to get this.
Great.
Well,
let's see how they play it.
Maybe they do it.
All right.
Okay.
Who knows.
Yeah.
Oh,
that's,
uh,
yeah,
that's a Betty Davis size by Kim Carnes.
You are correct.
Covering Jackie DeShannon.
I thought that was going to be hard.
It was easy.
Yeah. I mean, even if you give me some of those, those crusty, I smoke 18 packs a day vocals, I probably wouldn't have had a hard time with it.
Yeah. That is a junior high memory time for me. For sure. For sure. Feels weird to hear it. All right. Here is your final question. Let's see how you do. Number 10. Here we go. One second.
Oh, that's easy.
you say that when you say that it totally screws me up okay one more time on it
i it's because that tape was on repeat until the tape broke for me yeah wow okay
yeah chat got it too um why is it wow it is it is not
clicking for me give me the three here's the three
was the lead zeppelin um oh oh
It did so many covers.
Black Dog?
I will say that this is a surprise to me that it's a cover.
I had no idea.
A complete surprise.
I'm going to say Led Zeppelin Black Dog.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
It is this right here.
Damn it.
Yeah.
Who did the original of that?
Slade.
Slade was the original.
Slade?
Yeah.
What?
Yeah.
All right.
I did not know that.
I should know that.
I should know that.
And the reason I have a very good excuse for I had problems with that,
because my vinyl copy of metal health by Slade is misprinted.
It has Barbara Streisand heavy metal, or I'm sorry,
Barbara Streisand memories on the other side.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Want me to grab it?
I've got it.
I would love to see that.
All right.
That'll be a great way to end this contest because I can't believe that exists.
Yeah, Chad, you guys were on it today.
most of you got stuff quick
I noticed
and that's impressive
let's see who got this one first
oh now I lost it
and went too fast
they didn't even want to record it so they did what they thought
was a terrible version and became their biggest hit
I didn't know that either but that's crazy
I mean honestly nothing else on that album
came even close to getting the radio play that
come on field the noise got
like that thing was that was the singular hit of that album everything else on there
real forgettable like i played it and played it and played it because i thought it was cool
and me and all my friends were like yeah man quiet riot take that parents rebellion
all that stuff but at the end of the day they're pretty one note
you don't you don't see a lot of like petitions to get them in the rock and roll
Hall of Fame or anything.
Can you imagine?
This year, we're inducting the members of Quiet Riot and their classic cover of a thing
no one knew is a cover.
Congratulations.
Yeah, so I don't know.
I don't know why that, I don't know, I don't know why that was such a, such a huge
hit for them if they didn't even want it to be one.
That's really funny.
Yeah, it's.
somewhere, man, maybe I...
Oh, can't find it?
I don't hear you right now if you're talking.
I hear it come in and come out.
It's a gate on your thing.
Yeah.
I have the same problem.
Not really a problem. It's actually good, right?
It's what we like about our mixers.
Exactly. Yep.
It's my favorite thing about mine.
Too many albums in too many places I cannot find Mike White right.
I will find it.
That is awesome that you have that.
Yes.
I love it.
All right, you were right about the scoring.
It doesn't show anything in this field.
it's finished. Until it's finished.
Yeah.
Your final result, percentage, 51%,
letter grade.
Yeah, better than half.
Letter grade, you're the population of women in the U.S.
is what you are.
You're 51%.
You know what? I'll take that.
That means I'm the smarter half.
And then your letter grade is a D.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And there's no previous, oh, I see,
he's got this setup so that when there's new ones,
it will do a cumulative over time.
Oh, that's cool.
That's kind of cool.
That's kind of cool.
I like that.
I like this.
All right.
Well, Jamie, thank you for that.
That was awesome.
And I learned a thing or two.
I didn't know that was a cover.
It was the main thing.
Quiet riot.
Damn it.
Yeah.
That was a hard one.
That was, well, it shouldn't have been.
In hindsight, no, I absolutely should have gotten that because that's a biggie.
It's a bigin.
It's a bigin.
Well, everybody, big thanks for hanging out with us today.
We had a good time.
We hope you did it as well.
Don't forget.
TMS airs,
normal episodes on Monday through Thursdays.
Because we missed Thursday this week, we're going to put this one out on the public feed.
So if you're listening to this and you're not someone who normally gets this version of the show,
you get one of these every Friday, except for the final week of Fridays or of the month, rather,
because that's our play date, a whole other fun thing we do.
But if you're a patron, you get it no matter what.
Every week, hop in there, get it.
It's yours.
All right.
You get all the old ones that way, too.
You can go back and listen to everything.
You just have to become a patron to do it at patreon.com slash TMS.
For everybody who's usually here on a Friday, you know the drill.
You know what's going on.
And everybody joins us this weekend for an episode of Film Sack.
We're watching Masters of the Universe.
Brian already consumed it is my understanding.
I did. I did.
It's going to be a lot of fun to talk about.
And I'm not going to say anything else because I have feelings about it,
but I don't want anything I say to influence how you feel about it.
All right. I'm going to watch it tonight.
Cool. Very excited.
We're seeing the new one, the brand new one, Sandbar, the one that just came out of theater
is a month ago.
Yeah, the one without He Man in the title. They don't put his name in there.
Correct. Yeah. It's kind of weird, but whatever. I'm into it. I'm very excited to see it.
And I don't know that I should be. I don't know why I'm excited to see it. Probably because...
You should be excited to see it. Okay. All right.
And that's, you know what, again, I'm not going to fall into my trap of saying anything more than that.
All right. Well, I'm stoked.
So we'll let you know how that goes this weekend when you tune in at FilmSack.com, everybody.
That'll do it for today.
You're doing a guest connection right after this?
I am.
Yes, I'm glad you brought it up.
Yeah, so right after this, I'll fire up the guest connection stream and start that around 1015, 1020.
I've got a good one today, too.
Nice.
Come get some prizes, win and be better for it, everybody.
That's right.
We're going to get out of here, though, with a song.
We're going to play it live like we do on Fridays, and Brian will now describe what the hell it is.
Yes, Sabriel wrote in and said,
is there a cover of We Built This City
that actually makes the song seem good,
the key phrase being seem good,
if not.
I'd love to hear a cover of some popular Duran Duran songs,
like perhaps Hunger, like the Wolf or Girls on film,
if you have them.
No, Sabriel, you issued me a challenge,
and I'm going to take you up on that challenge.
I think that in the right hands,
the right musician can make
any song good.
I agree with that.
Exactly. I mean, I think you could have somebody who'd make
I'm too sexy by right side Fred good in the right hands.
So this is going to be the test.
We're going to see what people think about this one.
This is a band called the Exerts.
Just X, C, E-R-T, like is in X and then the Mint that had Retson.
This is from their album.
so one no one told i'm sorry from their ep so no one told you life was going to be this way so you
could probably guess what other song there might they might cover on that same ep uh it's a cover
of starship came out in 2020 here are the excerpts and we built this city
Sinking in your fight
