Bonding podcast, it's the James Bonding podcast, it's the James Bonding podcast, it's the James Bonding podcast with Matthews Myra and Gourley. Matthews Gourley and Myra. Hey, everybody, welcome to James Bonding. I'm Matt. And I'm Matt.

Oh, you're a sultry low, Matt. What's happening over there, Matt Goorley? Matt, Myra, I did something I almost never do, and that is go out late last night in Taiwan on. Do you have a count on how many drinks you may have had? Oh, only three, I think. Hang on. You had three drinks at how many bars? Two.

You are, you're wild. But I had a wine, a beer, and a cocktail. Oh, you mixed. Triple threat, yeah. Bet. Yeah, I real James Bond last night. I was a real James Bond. if James Bond was a lightweight.

Someone who never goes out. Yeah. And I don't remember the last time I've been up till 2 a.m. I mean, I'm usually in bed fairly early. So my thanks to my partner, Matt, here today, when the time kept getting pushed back in the morning. And here we are at 11 a.m. That's the first thing I'm doing.

I texted at 9 being like, I hope he's not upset, but it would be kind of cool if we started a little bit later. And then I didn't even hear from you until. I know, I didn't even know it texted. That never happens to me. 9.30. And then you were like, yeah, 10 works. I just woke up.

Well, the silver lining is that you and everyone else gets this sultry voice. It's deeper than I've ever imagined. Sam Whitwicky. I am Optimus Prime. Your planet is under control. How are you housed New York, Matt? Oh, man. Let me just take a look outside.

Yep, it's the same. Okay. Asht and answered. Weather's not terrible. I think it's supposed to get up to 50 very shortly. Wow. You're going to maybe hit Central Park for that self-romance carriage, right? Well, you know, my problem right now is I stay below Houston, so it's such a trek to get up there.

Well, make that part of your self-romance. Maybe, I don't know. Just little, get it like a baguette and a coffee as you walk along the streets of New York in a beret. Huff it up to 60th. I could do it. I certainly have the stamina to make a walk last that long. I've done it before. You know what?

Maybe when we wrap up here, I'll hit Central Park at night. Oh. And ask for a carriage ride for a self-romance. That's beautiful. James Bonding style. Yeah. One second. Oh.

Matt's rolled away from his desk. He's now rolling towards the door. And he's talking to what I assume is Margo. Well, someone's, I think, making some coffee, so that'll help all of us. Good. I was telling Amanda about, and if you guys listened to our last episode, we had quite a debate over whether the merits of self-romance, whether you should take yourself out on a date. the pinnacle of which being riding by yourself in a Venetian gondola like Bond does in Moonraker.

And I think Amanda and Maria might want to handle something like that on a crossover episode of their podcast, The Big Ones. You know, I think it's absolutely 100% worth having a discussion. I think we will together get to the bottom of whether or not self-romance is okay. And Matt's probably very confused as to why I got up and I'm no longer in front of the screen. It's because I've decided to try to turn on this Nespresso machine. Oh, you heard coffee being made. Yeah, and I was like, that sounds fucking incredible.

Yeah, we'll have Kai. You know what? If you're listening right now, get yourself a nice coffee. Like, maybe this is a morning. Maybe you're on your commute to work. Maybe you're working from home or a cubicle. Go get yourself some coffee. Pull through a Starbucks.

Maybe get a, they don't make Valencia refreshers anymore to my great sadness. But they do make strawberry refreshers with, whoa. Oh, Matt. Yeah. Just vomited into the toilet. No, I threw all my boxed water into the espresso machine. Get yourself one of the, off-the-menu pink drinks,

coconut milk, and strawberry refresher. It's delicious. Oh, so you found a substitute. Yeah, although I'm trying to not have quite as much sugar these days. So that's a rarity. That's just a sometimes treat. As someone is out partying until two in the morning. Friday nights, you've got to watch your sugar intake.

That's right. I'm a real podcast, socialite. That's a delight, Matt. Well, I think we should tell everybody what we're doing this episode. They've probably read it in the title, but let's explain. I always, you know, it's always a fun, weird thing when I'm always like, let's reveal our guests. And it's clearly already written in the title. Maybe we should just stop revealing it to say, you got to listen every time.

Would that help or hurt? It would hurt. It would be a lot of turnoffs in the first five minutes. Yeah. Well, everyone out there, you already have read it, so I'm actually not even going to state what this episode's about. But what we're doing is we're using the James Bond Wikia to go through the list of gadgets film by film,

which will culminate in us picking our top five favorite. Some of them we're not going to spend much time on because this list is exhaustive. What you're going to hear right now is Matt and I's favorite gadget out of every single, movie. That's right. We're not doing the top five. You're right. We're doing the favorite of each one. But what you're going to hear is our top 24. Oh, I guess that's right. Yeah. And you can put them in whatever order you want. Whatever order you think we would want them in. For instance, starting with Dr. No, here are the five listed gadgets. Now, they're not always the Q branch gadgets or just James Bond's gadgets. They're basically anything that qualifies as a gadget, though some more than a And you know what? This is a very loose list, man. Dr. No, 19. It's the first time the world is introduced to James Bond on film, not on TV, and, well, they come out of the gate.

That's right. A great gadget. Go ahead, man. Well, I think you're talking about the gadget to end all gadgets, even though it's not really a gadget, and that's the Walter P.P.K. It's probably James Bond's most synonymous gadget, right? It's certainly in the most movies. He uses it throughout the series, minus the Brosnan's, and the... Daniel Craigs.

That's right. He's forced to turn in his Beretta 418 for the Walter PPPK. He doesn't want to. He doesn't want that thing. That's what's crazy. Well, you know, what I really like about the Walther PPC is just how ridiculous the the story is of how James Bond ended up with the Walter PPPK. Someone over Twitter this week, Matt, send us a lovely picture of Boothroyd.

That was incredible doing the James Bond gun barrel pose. It's amazing. He looks like his knees is about to give way. He looks like it's all he could muster was to get that last button on that shirt done. Hold on, I got to find that. That thing is incredible. Because if I remember correctly, he's also wearing... And his mustache is incredible.

He's also, I think if I remember wearing a leg holster, but he has these really baggy pants So it's kind of like really blousing his pants. Oh, here it is. Yeah, he's just dressed in his regular old tweety day-to-day, stuffy British work attire. Oh, he has like a six-shooter rig on. That's what it is. Yeah, oh, he's got a leg holster that's strapped. Oh, my God.

Because, you know, as we all know, Jeffrey Boothroyd is a man who, quite frankly, knows all there is to know about how to quickly whip a gun out. Yeah, if you're not familiar, he's the man that read Ian Fleming's book and wrote to him and said, this is the gun bond should have. And Fleming actually took his advice, met with him, and he kind of became a bit of a consultant for Fleming on the weapons. And there's a little video on YouTube of Jeffrey Boothroyd talking in an interview about what he should. should use and he's quite a character. It's spectacular.

He's my favorite. He is honestly, of everyone involved in the James Bond mythos, he's my favorite person. Yeah, he's quite a character. I'm going to throw this out there right now. I know, Matt, I know there's a little bit of a backlog on T-shirt ideas here at the James Bonding podcast family. But hear me out, and you can tell me right now if we should just shut it down.

and not do this t-shirt. It's Boothroyd. In that pose, we do the gun barrel around him. And it says Boothroyd, Jeffrey Boothroyd. I would wear that daily. I would wear that daily. You also had the idea for a self-romance t-shirt, too, with Borgand in the gondola. It's just Roger Moore in the gondola, and it just says self-romance on it.

And quite frankly, I think that's a great t-shirt, I think. Yeah. And we've seen. the final designs for the knick-knack Tabasco shirts by Ibrahim Mustafa and they're incredible. So you've got a treat coming soon. Buckle up everybody. It's going to be a fantastic t-shirt. The other gadgets on this list are radio transmitter. That's the one hidden behind the bookcase in the Jamaican station. Cyanide cigarettes. Geiger counter and luminous Rolex wristwatch. Yes, Matt. Now, here's my answer on this.

this uh this of these of these gadgets man your favorite is probably walter right i got to figure i think just yeah i mean i i probably have to choose that but i have a real close runner up oh boy well you know what i i i got to go with the rolex wristwatch oh i figured you would yeah my uh runner up is the radio transmitter hidden in the bookcase because it makes me think I wish I would have done something like that here at the house. There's still time, my friend. There's still time to put up a facade of leather back books. That's true.

I just love that it's integrated into home decoration. Ooh, coffee time. Oh. Hi, honey. Let me hit the coffee button over here. Hi, Amanda. Hi, good morning. Thank you so much.

I'm firing up the coffee machine, too. Nespresso. Yeah. I'll see you in a little while. This is our first coast-to-coast podcast, man. It is? We've never done a... We've done ads like this.

Oh, right. But we've never done a full podcast coast-to-coast. We should mix this one in stereo, so I'm on the left and you're on the right, and it feels like they're being book-ended by the coasts. And, I mean, it would also be representative of our politics. Woo-W-Truck train. That's right. That's right.

you're a huge Trump fan, I forgot. Oh, God. Okay, so if one person, if one person believes you, I failed as a human being. I know, no, they don't. Now, I'm surprised you chose this Rolex because you know you probably got a lot of Rolex's coming up. Yeah, I sure do, man. And I don't want to spoil anything, but I might be choosing Rolex every single time. Hold on, this is not even a gadget.

I know, it's just that he uses it to detect that there is, radioactivity around. I almost think that needs to be disqualified, but okay. If you're going to de-Q it, if you're going to decue it, then I'm going to choose Geiger counter. Oh, man. All right. Because it's cumbersome, it's cumbersome, ridiculous, not really a gadget. It is just what it is. It's just a machine. It's a machine. It's not like it's a Geiger counter hidden in a shoe or whatever. Yeah. It's, it is, it just is what it is. I think as we list these, let's move on it from Russia with love, but we should disqualify a couple ahead of time before we pick if there's something like that.

Okay. So from Russia with Love, why don't you take us through those, Matt? Yeah, it's the Garrett or Graswit wristwatch that Red uses to strangle not James Bond. Spoiler alert. The pager that goes off in James Bond's beautiful sports jacket that is hanging over by his Bentley that lets him know he's got a phone call. an attache briefcase. Now, of course, we all remember this briefcase.

It's so many gadgets in one. There's throwing knives, gold de blooms. There's a talcum powder that will knock people out. There's a cyanide capsule. A sniper rifle. A sniper rifle, too. Matt, how could I forget a sniper rifle? That attache case has everything going for it.

It's going to be tough to beat that one. Then, of course, we have the bug detector, which James Bond uses to sweep the hotel room. And then he says, no, no, this room won't do. Tape recorder camera, which is actually a small reel-to-reel camera that Bond uses to interrogate Tatiana.

And of course, of course, the dagger shoes worn by Rosa Kleb. And I'm not entirely sure how she activates them. Have you figured that out yet? Doesn't she kind of... What does she do? I think she has to click the side of,

I think she has to click the side of the one with the dagger with her other boot, which seems like it. could happen accidentally too much. Constantly. I feel like she's walking down the street, all of a sudden, dagger pops out. Yeah. Well, you know what? I don't call disqualification on any of these. These are all legitimate spy gadgets. One of them is maybe a doctor gadget, the pager, but... Well, my question to you is, do we have to, do we disqualify gadgets used by villains?

No, I don't... Now we keep it in? Okay. I think so, yeah. But this is really just a... rundown between the briefcase and the shoe daggers because those are classic bond gadgets. And I love the shoe dagger, but I think I got to go with the briefcase because there is no more quintessential a bond gadget than that briefcase. Well, it was quite a toy that was made in the 60s. They made this attach case. And quite frankly, I'm surprised that neither of us have ever bought one off of the electronic bay. They're probably really expensive. They're not like obscenely expensive.

I've looked them up. So here's the deal. I want to give an honorable mention in this from Rush with Love to the pager because it's... Thank you for giving, finally giving the pager from Rush with Love it's due. It's ridiculous. This is a nice moment. It lights up and it beeps. So that's two things, all right?

So it's a double working pager there. It doesn't tell him who's calling, only that it's MI6. That's all he knows. And he calls MI6 back on his car phone and his Bentley, which is great. But yes, of course, Matt, the attache briefcase. Right. Is the one. Now, here, we're coming on to the movie that really took gadgets to the level that we're all familiar with.

And that is bananas. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. So for Goldfinger, there's a lot here. We've got the fake duck on top of the wetsuit head. We've got the gas parking meter in the Q lab that shoots gas. out, the homing beacon that he hides in his shoe. Right?

And the heel compartment. Yeah, of the boot. No, those go hand in hand. We can disqualify heel compartment. Odd Jobs hat. Yes. Odd Jobs hat was referenced on last week's episode of After Trek. Jonathan Franks brought it up.

Oh. Yeah. Commander Riker knows his bond. Oh. We've got the industrial laser and the delta nine nerve gas and the atomic bomb, which I think, again, are just three machines, really. These don't strike me much as gadgets, so. Yeah. But noticeably absent here, what are they thinking?

The Aston Martin? Right. If you can have an atomic bomb as a gadget, how is the Aston Martin? You know, because it's a subcategory, man. Because it's full of gadgets? It's vehicles. Right. but it's not itself a gadget because it's full of gadgets.

Oh, man, I never thought about it. But the attache case is full of gadgets. Yeah. Although I guess it's just full of, it's full of talcum powder and a sniper rifle. Okay, well, honorable mention to the Aston Martin. Honorable and mentioned to the greatest gadget in the history of Bond. Right. What are you going to go with here?

Well, Matt, there is a lot to choose from. And quite frankly, I enjoy all of them. There have been Master Replica made a homing beacon set that you could have taken home for $800. I thought you were going to say the fake duck. I would have bought that. Oh, well, you know, it's funny you mention the fake duck because that is my favorite gadget from Goldsinger, the wetsuit and the fake duck, and I'm counting underneath it, the tuxedo. Mine too. I was going to choose that as well because also it's completely useless.

It doesn't do anything. There's no need to have that duck on his head. He could just be underwater. Because he still peaks up. What about when he's surfacing? That's just it. It buys him a little time. No, it would be more noticeable if a duck just suddenly rose out of the water with a head under it than just two eyes peeking up.

I would just think, oh, that duck is starting to fly and take no note of it. Right, I would too. But then why is it slowly hovering nine inches above the water and who's that man. If you had to, have you ever done scuba diving? Have you ever scuba dived? No.

Well, if you had the option of, say, scuba diving and you were given a helmet choices and one of them had a duck on top, are you telling me you wouldn't? No, I'm in. I'm just saying it's a style over substance here, but I love it. It's time for our, well, I don't know if it is officially our least favorite movie, but... No, and I think it may be this, there's a bit of a myth even in our own perception of this. I'm curious for us to watch this again.

I don't think we're going to dislike Thunderball as much as you might think. Well, it's dull, but it's packed with gadgets, man. That's true. It's the longest list so far. Yeah, we've got the jetpack. at the beginning, which is technically called the Bell Rocket Belt. Belt. Yeah.

Largo's remote control. That was for the conference room. I'm not counting that. The electric chair at the conference table, I will count that. Geiger counter wristwatch. Now see what they've done here, Matt, is they've taken the Geiger counter and actually made it a gadget. Right. Underwater camera.

Not a gadget. Miniature flare gun. It's just a flare gun. gun, it's small. Miniature rebreather, gadget. Radioactive homing pill. That is to swallow and hopefully not poop out before they need to track a bond. And the underwater propulsion unit, which is essentially an underwater jetpack.

And of course, I'm not counting this either because it is literally a book that is hollowed out with a reel-to-reel tape recorder hidden in it. Oh, that's a homemade gadget. All right. All right, he's counting it. It's COVID. But really it doesn't matter because everything's down to the rebreather or the rocket pack. And I'm going to go rebreather. I love that.

It's something that's been reused, not only in James Bond, but also adopted in the Star Wars universe and Phantom Menace. Well, as we all know, it is handed out by the Jedi Council. once you're given your the second your paduan braid can be tied they hand you a rebreather and then as yeah as soon as your paduan brain is tied

you head over to Q branch there at the Jedi Council and uh yaddle the female Yoda sets you up with a rebreather yaddle's there with all your gadgets um do you think they have like a do you think there's a

class on how to build your lightsaber No, but I think there's like a build a bear store, but it's for lightsaber. Well, there actually, there is. Oh, that's right. There is a Disney World. That's why I thought about that. That's right. But I do wonder, mythology-wise, if they do like, how long is that unit?

Like, how long of a unit do I have to take on lightsaber building? Follow up to that. You know, the children, the tiny babies that have lightsabers in the prequels, they have very small lightsabers, right? Almost Yoda-sized lightsabers. And my question is, do they have, like, a set of those

that they give to these kids? And then they're like, okay, guys, Jedi class dismissed, turn in your lightsabers, and then they go and do studying? I don't know. Or do you get those handed down, like if there's a family with a lot of kid Jedi's

where, you know, like the oldest one gets a new little baby lightsaber, but then the second born has a hand-me-down lightsaber as the other one grows into a full size. Here's the other question I have, but I don't know, you know, I'm not super up to date on the legends mythology, rather, I'm not talking about canon mythology right now, but is Jedi-dom often hereditary? I, because they can't, these, these Jedi's don't make babies, because they're not supposed to true. I don't think so. And I think if anything, the last movie, the last Jedi, is basically saying that's not really the case.

Right. It seems like the force decides. I think that's right. Well, listen, man, I think we just solved a lot of problems right now that I was having in another universe. I think it's fair to say that both of our favorite gadget from Thunderball is the rebreather that is used. Of course, on the underwater scenes in Nabu. Moving on to You Only Live Twice. We've got another underwater breathing apparatus, but that's just literally breathing gear for when he's in the coffin for the funeral. The safe cracker gadget that he puts on the safe that,

now I like that, but I think there's a better one later on. Lipstick gas grenade that Helga Brandt uses in the airplane. They're counting here the piranha pool. I'd say more it's the collapsing bridge than the piranha pool. By the way, I think that the piranha pool is illustrative of why that design's advantageous, having a bridge over some sort of deadly pool scenario, over the moon raker scenario where you have to stand on a very specific hidden rock. That's right.

We've got explosive bullets, tigers and ninjas have. Yes. The bow staff with retractable spear that the Spectre assassin tries to kill Bond with. And the shooting cigarette. Now, I was thinking these are slim pickings until we got to that shooting cigarette. That's mine right there. That's the one. Also, I want to point out, once again, Little Nelly not on the list.

Right. Yeah, it's no vehicle. Because it's a vehicle situation. Well, Matt, I got to say, of everything here, you're absolutely right. Once again, it's the shooting. cigarette. Yeah. Because, because.

It's jet powered. It's a wonderful thing he does. Oh, it is. Jet powered. What a ridiculous thing. It is? Yeah. Tiger Gibbs Bond a cigarette capable of shooting a jet power projectile accurately

up to 30 yards. Jet power, there's no way. They must mean like rocket or propulsion. No, no, no. They say jet powered, remember? So it has a tiny little jet turbine in. A little tiny turbine in it like that big. James Bondwickia, I think you need to update your source.

No, but that's what they say. Really? In the movie, you say that? Wow, I apologize, James Bondwickia. Matt, we'll have you back. Now, it's time for a movie we did pretty recently on Her Majesty's Secret Service, Matt. Yeah. We've got radioactive lint, yawn, a giant safe cracker.

This is not one that fits in the pocket. And a copy machine. That's true. A camera that James Bond uses to take pictures of a map. And of course, Blofeld's gifts, which are each ways to activate his sleeper agent biological weapon ladies. This one's slim pickens. It is slim and pickens, but it does have the multipurpose savecracker. That made me jump ahead to Quantum of Solace, and I'm wondering, like,

Oh, the slimmest pickings is Specter. One gadget. One gadget. Oh, there isn't. It says there are no gadgets besides the explosion Omega watch. Well, so that's a gadget. Why is it say that? There's not even a picture of it here.

Yeah, why don't they have the watch? That's a great question. Someone's updated it. All right, well, we'll get to that. We all know what we're picking for Spector. Spoiler alert. That's our grand finale. You've ruined it.

Well, I got to go. with the safecracker here because I love that it's a two in one or all in one. You know, when you look to buy a printer these days, you want it to fax, scan, and copy. And this does all that and more. It opens up Gumbald's Lawyers Safe while you sit by looking at a Playboy Centerfold. Here's my question, though. Do you want a safecracker that's okay at safecracking and okay at copying, or do you want a really good copier and a really good safecracker? You want to split those up. That's right. And oh, really? Yeah. Well, why that's funny? Why didn't you choose a safecracker from you only live twice then? Well, because I'm choosing this one. Okay.

Because otherwise, my choices are lint and a camera. Oh, and Blofeld's radio transmitter inside of a hairbrush. So this is a pre-inkjet days, I presume. So this is probably a toner-based copier here, which means it could be messy. You probably have a lot of service calls. It's cumbersome, but still, I like the design of it, and I love the safe cracking element. Do you think Q Branch

gets madder about you using too much toner than they do about you blowing up their ass to Martin's? Probably, yeah. Do you realize how much this toner costs? You know people come in, the double-o's come in, and take printer paper and toner without without signing it out.

Yeah. Which is crazy. Yeah. Do you think that in the Jedi Temple there's a photocopier? No, because they never seem to use paper. So I'm sure it's some little holographic orb compact that you carry around. The Jedi Library is pretty impressive in the prequels. Yeah.

You know? And of course, essentially it boils down to what we discover in The Last Jedi, which is that library was actually just thousands of copies of those six books on Luke's shelf. That's right. Yeah. Translated into different languages. I like to slowly sneak in Star Wars into this podcast. I don't mind.

It might be. Oh, that does nothing but what needs to happen in the script? Yes. Yeah. For sure. Well, I got to give it some props for that. You've also got a classic, the fake fingerprint. Yeah.

and the slot machine ring slash joy buzzer that Q uses to rig the slot machines there in Circus, Circus. Yeah. What are you going with, Matt? Well, you know, I like to look at these gadgets and I like to say, what can I use in my everyday life? And the answer to that, of course, is the slot machine ring. Oh, right, yeah, that does make sense for you.

You go to Vegas, you love Vegas? You're going to use that? Are you kidding me? If I could, every time I hit Max bet, it's going to win? I mean, although maybe that takes the joy of it away. Yeah, although I've never really found any joy in slot machines. Well, that's because you've yet to play a James Bond themed slot machine, Matt. That's true, I can't wait.

But I'm going to use the same philosophy there and say, what can I use in life? What's most going to come in handy for me? And that's going to be the pocket snap trap. I think if you're going to reverse engineer gadgets and use them in some, such a way. This is the way to do it. It's funny. It's unexpected. It's clever. It's so silly that he would walk around with that all day for that purpose. And also think about, it's kind of like a mousetrap in that this thing has to be set in some way apart to be able to be triggered and snap down on the finger. So how bulky would that be in his pocket? And also, how do you get it into the pocket without

accidentally snapping it onto your own fingers? And do you ever forget and use it on yourself? Oh, my goodness. I know. But, like, I mean, it's like a triple, like, it's really, it's a very useful gadget in the sense that, like, if you're, let's say, walking the streets somewhere and someone wants to pick pocket you. Yes, that's true. That's good. I know. It's also good for looking to see if a henchman and a helmet wants to take your gun out.

This is like the, like, don't they have court cases of people that have, like, like, don't they have, like, booby trap, their front doors with automatic firing shotguns? Like, what if you mugged someone and you got that hand snap trap on you? Do you think you could like sue them for some kind of aggravated assault or premeditated assault or something? Well, any of our lawyer listeners out there, please don't write us. No. Now, of course, Matt, we're getting into, we're finally into a Roger Moore film. And it's live and let die, which, Has a lot going for it. It really does, yeah.

Let's start with the magnetic buzzsaw Rolex Submariner. The bug detector again, which of course can also transmit worse code this time. That's how they've improved it over the last one. That's right. The CO2 pistol. The shark gun. Yeah. Fires the shark pellet that blows...

humans and sharks up alike. And apparently it's full, not of CO2, but of helium. The only way to get someone to float. The cigarette lighter radio that's in the Cadillac, side view mirror dart gun. The genuine Felix lighter. A genuine Felix lighter? The side view mirror dark gun is pretty good. It is.

I also like how much effort it takes to aim it. Like there's like you got to match up the things. Right. like, okay. Transmitter that's in a hairbrush, which I believe he just took from Blofeld. Flute transmitter, everyone's favorite flute transmitter. Flame thrower spray can.

Disagree on that being a gadget, I think it's actually just a spray can that he lights. Yeah, he's, that's it. And of course, something I just used in my hotel room, an espresso machine. That's listed here. It is. It sure is. This is a tough one for me. Well, there's a lot happening.

I mean, the most contentious debate we've ever had on this podcast revolves around one of these gadgets. Yeah. The genuine Felix lighter. A crack happens with that. That's a hoot. The espresso machine gives us joy from M's is that all it does situation. Right. That's fun.

I mean, the most legitimate. gadget here is obviously the watch because it's a buzzsaw. It's got heavy magnetism that he uses. So it's down to the, it's down to the, it's down to the espresso machine for me. You don't mean like the one that would legitimately work. You just mean the one that qualifies best as a gadget. Yeah, the most useful and iconic of the Bond gadgets. But I can't believe you've so quickly, you've so quickly dismissed the CO2 bullet. Well, I think it's so dumb. I understand Matt Yeah

Well I think I'm going to have to go with The Rolex Submariner that is a buzzsaw Yeah And a magnet As unpractical as it might be And how, you know I believe I've spoken ill of this watch before But given everything else we have here

Although You know what? Dark Horse candidate has just stormed And taken the lead of the buzzsaw watch Matt Sideview mirror dark gun. I could use that. Oh, good. I'm glad that got represented.

That's good. Now I feel like I got to take the watch because I was going to do espresso machine just because I do love that they kind of throw you with that because that was apparently such a novel thing that. But espresso had certainly been around a long time, but I guess a home espresso machine. I don't know. Well, I mean, especially a machine of that, you know, you know what it's like if you want to get one of these restaurant quality espresso machines.

It's like 3,000, 3 to 8,000. dollars or something. All right, I'll go with the watch. And really, I just want to get to the man with the golden gun because that is a no contest gadget for me. Well, we are there right now, Matt. It's the man with the golden gun. Speaking of that golden gun, that is a gadget.

You've got the golden bullet. I don't know about that as a gadget. I really thought you were leading into a Walter P.P.K. Oh, no. Speaking of golden guns. I got a... The Solex agitator and the... Finally, to me, no contest, the prosthetic nipple.

The description on the James Bond wikia, Bond confesses that it's a bit kinky, but he gets Q to create a false third nipple so that Bond can impersonate Garamanga. Ridiculous. So you have chosen the prosthetic nipple. It chose me. I mean, come on, that's too good.

Well, you know what? I have to say, for me, it's the golden gun. One shot in you're dead in Golden I-S64. Oh, right. It's a powerful weapon. Much like the Moonraker laser, it is a powerful, powerful weapon. I wish you could choose the third nipple in Golden Ice 64. How would you use that as a weapon?

It's just so kinky. Yeah, it's so kinky, it disarms people. They just don't know what to think. Like, they're stunned for two seconds while you can. And then it becomes a slap fight. Yeah. All right, Matt. It's the spy who love me, which has so many gadgets.

Here we go. The wristwatch that has a teletype in it that prints out a message to bond. The ski pole rifle, which is delightful. The microfilm reader that's in a cigarette case. The cigarettes that are poison. The guillotine tray is seen. in this movie for the first time, the tea tray, the guillotine tea tray. Wet bike, which is essentially...

What? It's called a wet bike? Which essentially is the first jet ski anyone ever saw in our lives. A wet bike. And the table gun under Stromberg's dining table, which has the longest barrel in the world. This is a tough one. None of these to me are standouts. You're kidding right now, right? Because the guillotine tea tray was on the list. I guess, but it's just so specific.

Like, you have to have someone sitting at the end of a very specific bar that you really have to, like, lay in this, I don't know, electromagnetic infrastructure in there. And that's a lot of, a lot of forethought. So would you take guillotine, tea tray, or table gun if you're, if you need a weapon that will take someone out at the other end of a long table? They are both very similar in that. You have to have the person seated exactly where you need them. Yeah.

But I think I'd take the gun because you're more likely to be able to shoot them as opposed Not only do you have to sit the T-T-T-T-ray victim in the right place, they have to be at the right height exactly Yeah So but all that's moot I'm gonna go I think I'm gonna go with the teletype wristwatch just because it spits out that old sticky Teletape Teletype stuff that I used to love in grade school Yeah You had to turn the little wheel for every different letter

Oh boy, I had a lot of fun with that as a kid Yeah, what about you? live with a lot of things, man. It's the guillotine T-T-T tray. Okay, fair enough. I'll remember that next time I come over, and you want me to sit somewhere very specifically. Well, maybe you don't think too much and just sit.

Okay. It's on to Moonraker. Oh, we got a lot here. We've got the wrist-mounted dart gun, classic. We just talked about that. Another safe-cracking device. This guy loves the safes. Another camera, this one where the lens is in the second O of 007.

We've got it. exploding bolas, a sleeping man. And that's the guy sleeping in a polo. Hang on, but he, he splits apart, and then there's a very large machine gun in it. That's right. The Moonraker laser rifle that looks like a child's toy. The poison pen.

The diary that shoots darts of Holly Goodhead. The perfume that is a miniature flamethrower. The purse transmitter and the explosive wristwatch that's where they bust out of the the exhaust room right he's got like rolled up C4 in there

yeah well I've I definitely got to go with the wrist mounted dark gun I'm running out of wrist space because I think I've chosen two watches three watches there's so much happening right now yeah and well quite frankly Matt to no surprise

to anyone here continuing the theme of the previous movie and taking the exploding bolas, much like the guillotine tea tray. I'm taking people out of the neck. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. Seems ridiculous.

Can you hear my dumb cat? Do you know what's funny as I thought to myself, oh, there must be a cat outside, not thinking that I'm on the fourth floor. Man, it's approaching Margo. He's taken off his headphones. He's opening the door. He's talking to Margo. Margo's meowing.

Amanda appears to be out there talking about morgo meowing. For those of you wondering, Matt has yet to actually get dressed. He's wearing sweatpants, a gray sweater. And, I mean, it's a, it's a great sweater. But, oh, sorry, I was talking to the listeners. About what? About what you were wearing. I was narrating everything.

I know. I was narrating. When I got up and I was like, oh, we got to get to work. And so I put on a nice cardigan sweater. but I'm also just wearing sweatpants. Yeah, you're like a newscaster, wearing jeans underneath the table. But we couldn't figure out why Margo was freaking out,

but we never wake up this late. It's her feeding time. Usually we have all this time before she starts going insane. That's so funny. You really did a number on yourselves last night. Oh, we did. I don't want to see you drinking three drinks ever again, sir.

You got it, dad. Matt, we're talking about, for your eyes only. That's right. We both have chosen great gadgets here. Wrist dart gun, exploding bollas. What more could you want from a film? It's for your eyes only, guys. We're talking automatic targeting attack communicator, which is the ATAC, which is the thing that James Bond essentially goes looking for, if I remember correctly. The plaster cast, which, of course, you have to pretend to have a comically broken arm.

and then stand about four feet to the, no, wait, I would say that's a foot and a half to the right of the person you want to knock the head off of. You also clearly have to be standing against a wall that the entire mechanism is hidden inside of too. Well, yes, of course. They're trying to miniaturize it. They're working on that right now. And claw umbrella, which I always thought was fairly ridiculous. It is because even in the execution of it, it doesn't really. appear to be damaging anything. Yeah. The identograph machine, Matt.

The identograph machine. Love it. And of course, the communication wristwatch, which now is, I believe, Roger Moore's fourth consecutive Seco. Hmm. Well, I got to go with an identograph machine. I think you can have a lot of fun with that. 100% right.

Love that thing. You can know, you know what you could do, Matt? What? You could make your own version of the classic. children's board game, guess who? Oh, right. You know? Yeah.

Does he have glasses? No. Damn, I flip down everyone who has glasses. That's how you play, guess who? All right. On to Octopusy. We've got another Attaxie briefcase, which contains a false bottom, which conceals high explosive bomb.

This is in the pre-credit sequence. Great last name for a Bond girl. What? False bottom. That is good. I'm Tiffany Falzbo. Yeah. There he is. Melanie. A tracker wristwatch that can track the homing device planted in the Faberger egg. Sure.

Montblanc fountain pen with an 18-carat gold fountain pen, which contains a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids for dissolving metals. It also has the earpiece that works in conjunction with the bug planted. in the egg. You've got a TV wristwatch for looking at ladies cleavages. Cleavages. Oh, crocodile submersible. The submarine. The yo-yo saw. Oh, it's a classic. And of course, the mini-nuke. The mini-nuke. Wow, this is a tough one. This is a lot of great garbage. I was going to say the pen because that's a classic. It's also a two-and-one. But I got to go with the crocodile submersible. That's just useful.

Well, Matt, I've got to go with what's probably the most identifiable weapon from a henchman since. Odd job. It's the yo-yo saw. That's right. And in your theme of cutting off people's heads and such, too, if you... Well, listen, I'm just a spy who needs to get out of there. That's right. We all are. What faster way than that? Sure, a lightsaber would work, but they tend to cut off just the torso, these lightsaber. Yeah.

That's right. I'm going to do that a lot. Although I guess Mace Windu does cut off Boba Fett's dad's head. He does. Although, wait, I guess that's not really Boba Fett's dad. It's just Boba Fett's exact genetic copy. Yeah, it's his prime. Right, because Boba Fett is Django Fet.

Is Django Fet. And that clone is Boba Fett. No, Boba Fett is a clone of Django Fet, who is the math. of all the clones. He's the prime. I know, but I think if you listen back to my sentence,

that's exactly what I said. Is it? I don't know. No. Guys, you can pre-order your Boothroyd, Jeffrey Boothroyd T-shirts

somewhere, eventually soon. I will. All right, it's a view to a kill, everybody. It's a favorite of this podcast and a favorite of all

the James Bond lovers, not experts. That's right. We've got a Zorn microchip. Yeah, not a gadget. I mean, no, not a gadget. I'm happy to say, not a gadget.

Sunglasses that are polarized? What does that mean? That is funny. I've never under, like, obviously it's not a technology that exists, but even in this world, it's like, how does changing your polarization of your sunglasses allow you to see through tinting? Maybe it would work. I don't know.

Well, you know, whenever you've gone to a museum of science, you can play with polarization, and that could work. But whatever. Camera ring, of course, that he has to hold that champagne glass up like a real jackass. The billfold checkbook that uses ultraviolet light to read what was last written on the checkbook. The electric shaver detector. Huh? Uh-huh? That's a gadget, really.

bug detector. Like the last thing, it's a bug detector that is also a razor, you know, electric razor. Credit card lock pick, I should mention it's a sharper

image credit card lock pick. And of course, the snooper, which is everyone's favorite protocol droid. This is a tough one. There's not any real standouts. The camera ring is the most classic.

But I think I'm liking the credit card lock pick just because it's, You did it again. It's 100% correct. Yeah. Because it is a sharper image credit card. I like that joke and it's very of the time.

Yeah. I think if it was like a Visa card or an American Express card, I wouldn't be enjoying it as much. But the fact that it is a card that is so clearly of the 80s. That's right. It gets a big thumbs up for me. On to the Living Daylights, Timothy Dalton's first four into the Bond world. We've got the night vision goggles.

Those were still probably seemingly pretty novel. in movies at the time. I mean, who could imagine that not six years later, there would be a theme park that would just issue these night vision goggles into their Ford Explorers that run on a track. It's amazing. A favorite of mine, not only from this film,

but of all bond gadgets, the milk bottle grenades. Sure. The ghetto blaster, which is the rocket shooting. It's for the Americans. revolving sofa, one of the dumbest gadgets I've ever seen. I'm sorry, I don't mean to editorialize on these, but the keychain with the whistle and the explosion and the gas. You've got the miniature binoculars. What?

What? And the silent alarm watch. A watch designed to alert the user's bodyguard by an audible beeping emitted by his counterpart watch. It's triggered by pressing. I don't remember this. Pushkin uses it. Oh, that's right, to signal his outside guard. What are you going to go with here, Matt?

Well, it's... It's got to be the milk bottle grenades. Oh, no doubt. Because they're so effective and so perfectly built and so... Yeah. And so... I mean, it's just I've never really... And unfortunately, it's coming from someone who's not on the right side of history here.

That's all right. No, that is... There is no choice. The only choice you have is do you go with the pint or the four-quart milk bottle grenade? Well, it depends on what kind of damage you need to do. That's exactly right. Now, if you ask me, I don't know why the parrot is not here. M's parrot.

All right, Matt. It's licensed to kill time, which is very gadgetful, if I remember correctly. Let's take a look here. We have the Felix lighter once again, which is a lighter. Not really a gadget. It's literally a lighter. Yeah. Laser polo.

I'm disqualifying it. Yeah, I agree. The Polaroid camera that fires a laser. The alarm clock that goes a boom. The Dentonite toothpaste that detonates. Cigarette packet that has a lot of lights in it, and I believe is actually used the detonator cord. The signature rifle. That is the first time we're seeing this.

you grab it and you're the only one who can use it because of your palm print. And of course, the radio transmitter inside of a rake. You know, I never realized that that's basically just a variation of the flute transmitter from live and let die because it works the same way. It separates. It has a little speaker microphone there. Q's like really, you know, he's either repeating himself or he's like, hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

What do you give Q's hands in this? That's right. He's in a bunch of these pictures. I believe you're looking at him right now holding the dent tight. And quite frankly, Matt, that is a full-sized tube of toothpaste. It makes it look like a travel-sized tooth face. It really does look like something that would be TSA-compliant today. Those are huge.

But refer to the License to Kill episode for what, what size we give Q's hands. I can't remember. I'm going to go with, I think I'm going to go with the signature rifle. Because it's a camera

and rifle in one. I like it. I like it. I'm going to go with the cigarette packet. Yeah. Because they're lark cigarettes. Oh, are those real cigarettes? I think that's just a pun.

Or not a pun, but more of like a little wordplay. Oh. These cigarettes are a lark. Oh. Okay. It's a real brand and people will tell us in the comments. We'll find out.

But for now, we're moving on to Golden Eye. We've got the peaton gun that he fires the grappling hook. That looks a lot like Hans Blaster. It does, yeah. The limpid mine, no, disqualified, that's a mine. I mean, I guess it's kind of a gadget, but it's... I mean, it's pretty gadgetty because you knock it, you blow it up with your wristwatch.

I guess, but the best gadgets are kind of dual use. They're disguised as something else, you know? Digital binoculars, no, disqualified. Wheelchair missile launcher, now we're talking. It's functional as a wheelchair and as a missile launcher. Q loves fake casts. Q is always looking for ways to hide deadly weapons on his people. Or the size of his hands.

The phone booth trap, which in full, plates with an airbag inside of it and traps somebody. I feel like two years later, all the phone booths were starting to be removed from the world? Not a huge shelf life. Yeah, not a great one. That's okay because the next movie, he's onto a cell phone gadget. So the X-ray document scanner, that's the T-T-Tray that scans the document. The cutter detonator wristwatch built-in laser cutter and remote detonator.

That's just a rehash. We've seen that. Grappling belt. that's the size 34 leather belt conceals a peaton hidden behind the buckle ballpoint pen grenade and there's really no point going on because that's it that's it's the golden ice satellite is not a gadget to you whatever and it's the it's the pen grenade it has to be it's featured very um usefully in the plot classic yeah and there is a lot of suspense with that and uh i would just like to give an honorable mention to the omega

a Seamaster quartz model, not the automatic model guys. This was the battery-powered model that he wore in Golden Eye. A little cheaper. Okay. I am honored to now say

the following gadgets from what is quite possibly the greatest movie ever made. It's Tomorrow Never Dies. A rousing performance given by Mr. Pierce Brosnan. And of course, Michelle Yo, Now, friend of the pod, thanks to mine.

Connection to her in Star Trek Discovery. The GPS encoder, not a gadget. It is literally just what it is. Cigarette lighter grenade, 100% a gadget. The Erickson mobile phone that not only has a taser on it, but can control a BMW and has a fingerprint scanner and readout that makes it be your fingerprint, whatever. The grappling bracelet that Michelle Yo's character has, the dragon flame thrower that's in her thing,

her headquarters there. The restraint fan. Oh, that's the fan, right, that has all the... Those are the sound effects I make for things being shot off a pan. There's no picture of that one. There is not. They probably couldn't find it. Ricksaw defense mechanism, the rickshaw that... I think she hits a button and a rickshaw flyer.

is it a guy? And an explosive wrist watch. That's the Omega C Master. And of course, this is the first time he gets the Walter P99. Not a gadget. That is true. That is very true. Matt, you got to give it to something in this.

Yeah, it's got to be the mobile phone. It's the most useful. It does too much, honestly. I knew you were going to say that, Matt, which is why. I assumed you were going to pick the cigarette lighter grenade. Is that what you're going with? Well, it's what I'm going to have to go with because, quite frankly, it's

it's amazing because he has a lighter, right? But then he hooks it up to something to blow up and then he tricks a guy by pretending to have a lighter and then punches him in the face. God, I don't even remember that. Oh, I remember

every second of this movie. I've blocked a lot of this movie out. Here's a movie we haven't watched yet, Matt. That's right. We'll get to it soon enough. It's the world is not enough. And the list of gadgets is as follows. The detonator spectacles remotely detonates an explosive flashbang charge concealed in Bond's firearm. The money bomb.

Oh, yeah. Of course, in the beginning of the weapon, I mean the movie. Bagpipe flamethrower. Love it. X-ray shades. Yeah. ski jacket, perhaps the worst reverse engineered gadget in the whole franchise for my money. the multi-functioned lock pick

the grappling torch wristwatch you just realize how many watch gadgets there are when you do this well I mean it makes sense right yeah and the torture chair the garot chair they're listing I don't know about that you don't know

I mean it is a chair and it also is a torture device yeah you know there's a lot in here Matt And I don't know. This movie, for me, while enjoyable, is not up there with the quality of say it tomorrow never dies. I actually somehow I'm looking forward to this movie. Isn't that weird? Well, I think you're just trying to, you're a lot like Luke Skywalker, you know,

or he's just trying to find the good in his father, your father being Pierce Brosman. Yeah. I thought you meant, like, I want to take this movie and toss it over my shoulder like a lightsaber. Well, I'm going with multifunction lock pick because it is actually in a credit card. Oh, yeah. He pulls it back and it whips out a key. That's one of the rare ones that you think that could be used. That's like a real spy tool there.

Yeah. And it's multi-functioning too. For me, I'm going with the bagpipe weapon. As silly as that sounds, I think that's actually pretty darn good. I believe, if I remember correctly, Matt, the bagpipe, not only did it have a flame-throat, but it also had a machine gun. Oh, right. That's like, you've got to be careful

when you're blowing into that thing. What do you mean? Well, don't, you don't activate it right in your face. Well, I think there's, it's probably pretty easy to know which of the bagpipe things you're hitting. I guess. I assume.

Yeah, who knows? Oh, no. If you heard that sound, that's the sound of realizing the next film is Die Another Day. All right, Matt, we have a surfboard that contains a sliding panel with a hidden compartment full of communications equipment, explosives, detonators, and a Walther P99. Of course, we have a transmitter knife that was also concealed in the surfboard that for some reason had to be a knife.

There's the cell phone that Zau uses to figure out that Bond is Bond. That's the product placement gadget. Yeah. Then we have... Sony Erickson. virtual combat training simulator, which are sunglasses that turn a room into a holodeck. Then, of course, we have the Omega that has a laser cutter on it. Then we have the Sonic Digit Agitator, which is the ring that can destroy glass.

And then they're listing the Dream Machine, which, as far as I know, is just a Dream Machine. Yeah, it doesn't double as anything, but... And then we have the rebreather. This, there's slim pickings here. This is... Well, Matt, also appearing in this film are the jetpack from Thunderball, the snorkel and false bird from Goldfinger, the peatone gun from diamonds or forever,

the jet from octopusy. Wait, now they're allowing that in, but not a little nelly, huh? The submarine disguises a crocodile from octopusy. and of course Little Nelly and the dagger shoe. All right, I'm going to go on a loophole here and take the dagger-toed shoe. It's unbelievable. He did it, everybody. I'm going to go into my own loophole right here, and I'm taking the miniature rebreather. Good, yeah.

Take that guy another day. Your gadgets aren't good enough. I've got to swim with Obi-1 to reach the Gungans. That's right, you do. We have to go down to Odo Gunga and meet. Boss Nass and Captain Tarpels. Have you had Boss Nass on? I was there too. Oh, I wish. That's Brian Blessed.

I would love to have him on. I feel like... I feel like you can get him on. Oh, he's amazing. That is not a real human being, Boss Nass. I mean, Brian Blessed. Like, he's a cartoon. He's Hawkman from Flash Gordon.

He sure is. Yeah. He's a delightful. Oh, I love it. Person. Me's a thinking, we're sub being friends. What a race of underwater dwellers. I know.

It's insanity. It's time for Casino Royale, which more gadgets than you would think. Agreed. Explosive keychain. Mm-hmm. When is that used? That's in the Miami scene. That's right.

Yeah. That's Davidoff's. That's right. Plus the phone detonator that is used to detonate that explosive keychain. The portable implant equipment. The bug in earpieces in Lechifra's benzadrine inhaler. And the field medical kit in Bonds Aston Martin. I got to go with that.

I like the whatever that defibrillator thing is and the epipenks and all that such stuff. Listen, I would watch a medical drama that was centered around the five people. that were giving Bond medical advice at Q Branch. I know. That would be great. Yeah. So I agree with you, Matt. It's, for me also, it is the medical kit found in the glove compartment.

God, what a great movie. What a great movie. I look at every one of these gadgets, and I'm remembering the moment of the film and thinking that's a great moment of the film. When they, I felt like Bond a little bit last week when I had that panic attack and the paramedics came and they strapped a bunch of stuff to me. What happened? the way. Oh, that was on Sunday. Are you okay? Of last week. I am physically exhausted and I need to take

three days off and just shut down. But instead, what I did was fly home to L.A. work a full day and then go record a podcast about Moonraker. Oh, man. I'm worried about you. Listen, you got to put your health first here in all seriousness so we can figure this out, you know, if you need a break or whatever. This is a great solution, what we're doing right now. Okay. Are you right? Yeah. Yeah. Guys, I was fine. I had a great crew of people, and I had a medical kit in my Aston Martin.

Okay. It's Quantum of Salas, Matt, and there are only two gadgets listed here. We're talking about a modified Sony Erickson C902 cell phone. Barely modified. All it does is really do face recognition, right? Sure. And, of course, the quantum earpiece that is in the gift bag when you go to. to the opera.

I got to go at that because I would love a quantum gift bag. Who knows what other swag is in there? What do you think other swag is in there?

One weekend at Blofeld's hollowed out meteorite layer. You're right. Oh, man. Probably spa treatment at the Venetian casino.

The latest iPod. Oh, for sure. With quantum etched on the back? Yeah. Guaranteed. By the way, I love that these secret...

I love that these... Super secret organizations all have logos. And branding, yeah, full on branding. Like they must have a graphics department. Could I see those two images, please? For approval?

No, this is too busy. No, I don't like the way. I want this, I want this nice, a nice swooshy cue. Yeah, it must imply momentum. We're always moving forward. You know, I want to, I want, it should feel a progressive forward moving. This is still doing.

Think of quantum mechanics. This is what I want to explain with the logo. Give me the mouse. I'll do it. Here, look, what is wrong with this thing? Is this always so slow? All right. Okay.

Skyfall. It was a fun digression. All right, Matt. It's your turn to read. The Palm identifying Walter P.P.K. Slash S. what is that that's just like a more modern walter p p pbk i believe so yeah

the radio transmitter and the radio detonator a radio detonator a radio detonator disguised as a police radio silva uses it it's on his little chest rig there well it's in his uh it's a police vest yeah i think i gotta go with the walter walter ppk it is this one is a gadget

because it's got the uh palm identification and it's used in a gadgety way, so I'm going to go with that. You know, it's funny about this gun. Bond never fires it. No one fires the gun. And it was 3D printed by the UK-based company Prop Shop.

How do you feel about that? What do you mean? How do you know that? I just read it. I clicked through. No one fires that gun? No one fires it. He never fires it.

Oh. What did you know? Wait, he doesn't have it he's back in London at the courthouse? No, he's a good regular one because he leaves it in the Sarlac pit. That's right. Okay, everybody.

It's time for the 24th installment in the James Bond franchise, and that, of course, is Spector, where the only gadget is James Bond's 300 Seamaster. Seamaster 300 meter. He explodes.

which is great. It's gorgeous and quite frankly, I've been fortunate enough to have James Bond have Daniel Craig's own Seamaster 300 on my wrist when Daniel Craig himself said, here, try it up. How did that feel? Was it warm? It felt more, it made me feel like more of a man than I've ever felt in my life, and it lasted for as long as I had the watch on, so about 45 seconds. Wow, that must have been nice. It was great. I recommend everyone out there, if you meet Daniel Craig, ask him to try his watch on. Matt, before we wrap this up, I'm going to ask you, now that we've done this, all-time favorite gadget.

That's very hard. I think we've talked about this before. Yeah, but I mean, practicality-wise, because I feel like we both approach this in a practical manner. Uh-huh. And I think practicality-wise, it seems like the rebreather is the thing. Interesting.

Okay. I'm going to go with the attache case. I think that's not only very practical, although not many people carry até she cases these days, although that also third tangent makes me think I'd like to start carrying an attaché case. But it's just got so many, well, all these things. It's got so many things.

A sniper rifle, gold sovereigns, a dagger, talcum powder. You never know when you're going to use talcum powder. Well, especially talcum powder that if you don't open the case, right will knock you up. Uh-huh. So, like, I feel like if you're at TSA pre-check and they pull your bag and they're like, can we check this bag, you better make sure they're opening latch correctly. That's right.

Yeah. Yeah. What would you, if you had, if you started to bring back the attache case just as a stylistic thing. I've considered it. Uh-huh. What would you, what do you think you'd do with it? What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you know exactly what I do with it? In fact, because I remember as a kid seeing these in movies and going, what is it, what is it?

what do people put in a briefcase? And every time I ask my mom or my dad, they would always just say, papers. That's the exact answer. So I'm going to keep papers in there. Papers. I've got all my papers. Yeah.

My papers are in order. Well, everybody, I feel like you've all heard every gadget, and quite frankly, you are delighted, bored, or just plain excited about the Boothroyd, Jeffrey Boothroyd, T-shirt that will be printing up eventually. after the Nick Nack Tabasco and Self-Romance

shirts come out Nick Nknack Tabasco's final designs are amazing I really think you're all going to love it that's right Abraham did fucking

she just crushed it man he did he really did yeah the shirt work here in this podcast is it's top notch

much better than the quality of our actual conversation I don't know I think today was solid and I think

people are if you're with us to the end right now. You're here because you're like us and you need to discuss these things. And frankly, we're doing a great service to society. If you liked our Pepperd In Star Wars discussions, please don't let us know. Don't encourage us as what he's saying. Yeah, because then we'll just start doing it. Next week, we've got The Man with the Golden Gun. It's a big time, Matt. It's a big time episode with a big time gadget and a big time villain. Christopher Lee, who of course played Count Duku.

Oh, yes. That's right. Speaking of people getting beheaded by lightsabers, Count Duku gets a double beheading. Yeah. What's his Darth name? Darth Sidiot. No, not Dachian.

No, he's Darth Tyrannus. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah. Isn't he just Dr. Duku? He's Dr. Duku? He's not Dr. Duk. No, he's Count Duku. Well, I'm going to look it up now.

Count Duku. I like his lightsaber because it's curved. Yeah, it's a little phallic though. It feels a little weird. And let's see. Sith Lord. Jedi Master. Darth Tyrannis, you were correct, Matt.

That's right. Never doubt. Matt? Yes, sir. Good weekend out there in New York. Stay warm. make sure to get in that carriage ride. Make it happen.
