Hey guys, finish testing that game yet? I've got another one I need designed. We just finished level three and need to tighten up the graphics a little bit. Great. Community. The Morning Stream. soaking in it. Hello, everybody. Welcome back or two for the first time or whatever freaking stage you're at with the TMS

show. It's the morning stream, damn it. It's February 1st, 2021. It's 20, sorry, it's 2.1 today. Oh, yeah, there you go. There's another fun one. We have 1-2-1-2-1 last month. Yeah.

Today is 2-1-21. Today is also my son Tristan's 24th birthday wrap your mind around that business. Yeah, I just saw that on my calendar and went, how is this possible? How was he 24? Yeah. Wait, that makes him just shy of being able to rent a car. Oh, is it 25 to rent? I actually thought it was 24 to rent.

Oh, maybe it is now. When I was a kid, or when I was a kid, when I was 24 or 25, 25 was the limit. And I remember me, so... It was a very good year. I could rent a car from Avis or Hertz and drive it and steer. The fake ID. But yeah, like, I think that was it. I remember being all stoked about it and doing my first rental it.

And I think I did it in... Maybe it is 25. You know, that's sounding more familiar. So really, there's no benefit. at 24. Let's see. When can I rent a car? Let's just find out. You could watch an episode

of 24 every day for each year that you've been alive. There you go. Think of that. That's pretty good. Okay, here it is. How old is too old? Not too old. Car rental under 25.

Okay. There is a minimum wage to rent a vehicle at 21 years old. There's no maximum age or restriction in the United States or Canada. Well, then why does everyone always say 24 or 25? How to rent a car on you? Oh, you know why? Because I guess it's just cost prohibitive.

It's like extremely expensive. The insurance probably. Yeah. So you don't want to be doing that. Yeah. You don't want to be. We had all sorts of sayings at my company, former company, the health and fitness section,

if I could use your phone company that I worked for. Lots of things about. road travel, right? Like, number one, rule of road travel. You never leave a man behind. Number two, rule, never leave a paper trail. That came from a sales department guy who liked to visit the strip clubs when he was traveling. Okay.

Plus, you don't want to leave a man behind there as well. You never want to leave a man behind there either. Well, unless he says, leave me behind and save yourselves. Number three, there's no curb too high for a rental car. Oh, I like that. Yeah. This is great. It was like, you know, whenever we'd go over a huge bump or go over a curb or something,

same sales guys, as a matter of fact, would say, no curb too high for a rental car. Wow. And this is why I'll never buy a car, a used car that was previously a rental car. Yeah, I don't trust that stuff at all. Like, at all. Because I even did weird stuff in rentals when I was in my 20s. I died. We'd take them places we weren't supposed to and then go through the, you know,

wash thing just to hide our evidence, but, you know, I don't want to buy that. No, thank you. No. There's all kinds of problems. Anyway, you can probably get a good deal, though we're not telling you what to do everybody. Don't listen to us. We don't know. We're just lame. Yeah, sure. Buy a rental car. See if we care. Yeah, do what you want to do. Speaking of doing things you're supposed to do, so a little follow-up on Wendy's advice last Thursday regarding her mindful eating push she made here on the show and the goal there being um you know hey you know diets all diets and fad diets are fad diets and they don't really you know what what ultimately works has nothing has very little to do with the diet you're on if you find one that gets you there great but the point is that it's a

change of of your brain like your brain needs to look at eating differently the diet itself isn't what makes you lose weight it's the mental change that you go through right to to meet the goals of that uh or the rules of that diet and if you you find a diet that that is adherent to that great if you but if not then that's okay because the idea here is mindful eating no matter what you're doing you don't if you if you do it right you don't need a diet at all is her is her thinking right so i decided to take that stuff seriously from Thursday through today and just work on it yep i did better but it was hard Harder than I thought

Because you really don't think about it Like I would like to present Exhibit A Here we go This right here Half-eaten bag of Cheetos Here's a bag of Chicarones Chicanes fried pork rinds

Instant chili and salt Considered a A better brand Like a well-made brand or whatever A high source of protein Very little calories and not a lot of fat or at least not the kind of fat that you worry about with cholesterol and

things. So it's not like this is a horrible thing to eat. Sure. But what happens is I mindlessly eat them. Was that bag full when it arrived in your studio? Well, it's been about two and a half weeks. Okay. That's not bad. That's good. I didn't just mow through it. But what I did find myself doing, I think it was on Friday when I was prepping for another show, it's just sort of mindfully eating these or mindlessly. Mindlessly. Yeah, right. And when I did that, I had to catch myself. I'm going to, wait a minute. This is what she's talking about. This isn't, this isn't a meal. This is a, this is me snacking for no good reason. I'm not actually hungry. I'm just eating these for no reason. So when I stopped and thought about that, I quit eating them. And so little steps is what

I'm saying. So it's just thinking about it. Being aware of what you're doing is. Right. Right. Yeah. Which makes, which makes sense. I mean, it's just the most sensible thing in the world to say. Pay attention to what you're doing, basically, is what she's saying. But it's harder than you think because you're doing other stuff and you have whatever habits you have. But it went better than usual. It was hard. I'm noticing that I'm, I notice when I'm going, oh, well, I'm just going to grab a handful of these.

And then my brain goes, well, why are you grabbing? What are you doing that for? And I'm like, well, because I think I'm hungry. Are you really? Oh, no. Like, I guess I'm not really. Like, and so as a result, I don't think there was any, you know, tangible weight loss to show, but I think I, I know I ate less over the weekend than I would have.

Yeah, if you keep that up, then there will be tangible weight loss to show for sure. Yeah. Knowing that, you know, all right, you don't recognize you're full until 20 minutes after you're actually full. Right. Your brain doesn't get that thing. So, yeah, I tried to slow him down this week or this weekend. Did a lot of the same things, actually, you're talking about. Went on a nice walk yesterday with Tina, took the dog out.

went on a longer than usual walk is coming back. We see a bunch of kids on the corner holding signs. I'm thinking, oh, no, what are they protesting? Like, what's going on? Uh-oh. And now they're selling Girl Scout cookies. So we, uh, back from our nice

walk, came back with a box of thin mince, a box of docee doze and a whatever their peanut butter patty things are called now. Tagalongs. Freaking, freaking pushers, freaking drug pushing little kids. I will say. One box has been opened, and exactly two cookies have been removed from that box.

Tina ate one. I ate the other one. That's a mindful way to eat those cookies. That is mindful. That is like, we're like, one cookie? Yes, I will have one cookie. Well, see, you did well. Now, where I failed, so as much as I'm pleased with my snacky changes.

And by the way, Claire Gack says, boredom's a killer. I'm never bored. I don't even know what boredom means. Like, I don't, that doesn't exist for me anymore. I'm never bored. It's more like the busier I am, the more I'm snacking. So it's opposite for me. But anyway, so we're at Taylor's house.

There was a scare, a COVID scare because Dylan's dad thought he had it. And then informed everybody he'd been in contact with. Happened to be the night before they were, Mike, Taylor and Dylan and the baby were over there getting some. For a smoker, you need briquettes or something or kind of wood? know what you need but he had the whatever they need to free his smoker because they were going to have whatever he wants to use like cherrywood or mesquite or exactly his dad's a big time smoker guy I don't know anything about this stuff so they're not coming to me um but he was going to make a big to do with meat and everything for vans to your to your birthday and it was just going to be us

and them and no big deal but because of the scare he let everybody know and then they let us know don't come over we're all getting tested so Dylan's dad got tested, Taylor, Dylan, and the baby. The baby got the up-the-nose brain tickler test. Did not like that. He didn't like that at all. No, who would? And that's, you know, and trying to explain that to Van like,

okay, we need to do this to make sure you don't have some horrible disease. Yeah, he hated that. Anyway, they got it all done. And then we were just like, well, I guess we're just not having the party. We'll do this some other time. And do it, you know, a 12-day. you know, stay away and all that. But then the next morning, they get news that all of them were negative.

He's just got some cold. And everybody's negative. They all tested negative. So we went over and did it. Now, here's the reason I'm telling you this story. I was so excited to go over there and spend time with the kid and have the two-year deal and all that. Little did I know that this smoker was chocked full of amazing things. Okay.

Oh, no. Chicken. He even smoked an egg in there, which was crazy. Oh, really? Oh, cool. So hard-boiled egg or? It was raw when he put it in. When it came out, it was hard-boiled.

Okay, gotcha. So a whole egg as opposed to like cracking an egg into something and smoking that. He smoked in the shell. Yeah, in the shell. So the shell was all like crispy dark or whatever, and you had to take it off and stuff. So there was that. And then there was, what else do you have in there? Oh, Taylor used an air fryer and made some other stuff.

So anyway, the bottom line was there was this like amazing assortment. Oh, we did shrimp on skewers and stuff like that. Anyway, oh, and I forgot. We did a fish, freaking salmon. Did a salmon in there. And the smoker? Yeah. And it was.

That's the way to do it. Amazing. Like just drop dead killer amazing. And this is where I forgot to eat mindfully. I ate like, I ate like six of those chicken legs. And they weren't like little chicken like wings like you get at Buffalo Wild Wings. like little ones. These were like big full size chicken wing or chicken legs and I

ate like five of those damn things. By the time I got done I went well that's nothing like what Wendy told me two days ago. Now it is it is chicken so it's better for you than you know than if it was like a ton of red meat I guess right? Yeah

yeah no you're right I mean it's not it's not the word and we didn't you know bury this stuff in sauce or anything it was just kind of the chicken you probably needed very little any sauce at all. Yeah. So I could, it could, you're right. It could have been worse. They had an amazing cake that her friend makes that's like insane, but I didn't need any of that because I'm not allowed. So it wasn't that bad, but still, I should have eaten two legs

of chicken. Here's, here's the important thing is that you've realized it. You're aware of it. And as opposed to like just, just the feeling guilty the next day, you're like, yep, okay, I screwed that up. I need to do better at that. And, and that, That's the key to switching your mindset over to that, is just recognizing, all right, yeah, screwed that up. But you know what, next time I'm over there for a smoker barbecue, I'm going to cut it back a little bit and maybe have a little bit more, a big glass of water before I eat anything. So it'll help me feel full or a salad or whatever. Sure. And one piece of chicken or two pieces of chicken.

And I did eat a lot of, we hadn't like carrot, like a carrot plate and all that stuff. So I did do a lot of that. So I guess I shouldn't feel that bad, but you're right. The point is, everybody do this. Be more mindful about what you eat. There you go. Okay. Yeah, I'm currently have a new freelance client whose website I'm working on that is a local butcher.

And so it's basically like lamb, beef, pork. Those are their three primary meats that they supply. And they're doing a deal with me where it's going to be some in, some paid in cash some in trade yeah so i'm going to get i'm going to have a freezer full of of meat i'm so jealous which is good yeah but it's also like yeah i'm trying to figure out all right what what can i can i suvied some uh lamb shoulder or some uh 100% you can't get in there yeah get that done man you it's gonna be it's gonna be it's gonna be total total suveed time yeah suvied everything. That's what I said.

Yeah. Yeah. Put it on. Can it be suveted? Of course it can. If it could be cooked, I'm going to make some toast in the suvite. Let's see how it goes. I watched somebody make ice cream in there. I couldn't believe it. What? Really? Yeah. They made ice cream in there. Now, they still had to freeze it after. But the entire process was in there. It was crazy. Interesting.

Yeah. I was, I don't know who it was. Someone in our house that came over and did it while we were having a, this is the pre-COVID times when things were normal. and somebody came over and said, hey, I'm going to suvied this ice cream tonight. You guys are going to be blown away. I'm like, really? It sounds weird. And they did it. Because you've got to, like, the stuff you put into the ice cream freezer, you do have to kind of cook it up because it sometimes has a egg and milk and stuff like that and vanilla. But then you take it out of the suvied and freeze it, I'm guessing.

Yeah, that's totally what they did. And he had some kind of speedy freezer, this neighbor, so you could just like, Was it creamy? Because usually that doesn't, the process wouldn't inject any air into it. It was very creamy. Really? Okay. That's one I could eat ice cream too.

Sure. Those are fun days. Yellow top. Yeah. Might be your answer. All right. Still looking at those. Oh, I did get some, oh, it's not down here.

I got some monk fruit chocolate bark, which is supposed to be really good. Net zero carbs. smart choice thing. Same people that make the monk fruit sweetener I get. So I'll share that out when I find the damn thing. All right. There's that. Hey, guys. Guess what? It's Wednesday. I don't know if you knew that or not. Or Monday. It's not Wednesday. It's Monday. It's also not January 1st, which apparently

the Twitch stream says January 1st. Oh, does it say January? Oops. I'll fix that. Anyway, as a result, we do a fun game here, Babel Royale. 801.61. No, 801, 471, 0462. I can't do anything right today. That'll get you in here. Oh, yeah, you're right. It does say that. Now it'll say, too. I'm going to fix that. Oh, I need to switch it so you can actually hear. So I'm going to switch my microphone over. So I'm going to disappear for half a second. All right, while he disappears, I'm going to play a little intro music that will signify our guest's arrival. Yeah, that's right. Brian Dunaway enters the room. But does he leave?

oh hi scott and brian brian when brian enters one one brian leaves or vice versa yeah yeah see that's a thing with this show that's right who brian enters

but they enter at different times that reminds me there can only be one somebody told me they don't believe this whole thing about you that you're the one in our lives that says Reese's pieces do you want to go ahead and address that or oh am I do I say

Recy P.C.? You do. How do you say it again? You say. Oh, don't. Oh, how do I pronounce it? What? Does I go again?

Here, I've heard you before say, like when we watch DT and other stuff, you say, Recy's PCs. Prove it. I'm going to find it. Now, now. Fake. Look, I got Jamie. He knows where everything is.

I'll go find it. Recy Pesies. Yeah. Hey, look, no judgment here. We're going to play a game with you instead. And that involves having a listener on the line, which we do. I'm going to go ahead and unmus you. them and find out who it is. Hi, thanks for holding. Who's this?

Hi, this is Ryan from Wisconsin. Well, hello, Ryan from Wisconsin. Something just happened there. Not the Packers losing. There's something else. Oh, way to bring that up again. There was a big, big Wisconsin story yesterday, and I was going to bring it up on the show. I don't remember. It doesn't matter, because you're not here for that. You're here to win a thing. And Brian Ibbett over here is going to explain today's rules and how you could win it. Is this Green Bay Spidey, by the way?

Or no? No. Okay. That's all right. It's all right if you're not. It's totally fine. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I know Ryan in Wisconsin, one of our listeners.

Maybe he's from Green Bay. But anyway, hey, Ryan, welcome to what's your nerd. I've interviewed a member of the Tadpool and asked them nine questions in a subject in which they consider themselves nerdy. Scott and Brian are going to take turns predicting whether or not our guest will get those questions correct. if they predict correctly, they receive a point. The first player to five points wins the game. Ryan, as always, your job is to choose which of our two hosts will more accurately predict our guest's knowledge in their category. If you're correct, you win our prize package, which includes a PC building simulator.

So it's making buildings that are politically correct, which is really, really good. Yep, exactly. That's what that game is. No way it's different than that. You got it. No way. It's different. It's absolutely that. And Ancestors, the Human Kind Odyssey. Oh, I have that weird game. It's cool. That's a weird game. Is that a good game?

Yeah, it's beautiful, too. Very high-end graphically pleasing game. Yeah, both of these are good picks, actually. Because, you know, the thing I've been playing that Shipbreaker game where you tear ships apart. This PC builder's a lot like the opposite of that, where you are in 3D space building computers, you know, by adding components. here's their motherboard now. Oh, it really is a PC. I thought it was like it's just a building simulator you play on a PC. So this is, you're actually building computers.

Yeah, you're building computers and trying to make sure they work right and testing them and everything. Like, it may sound like if you're burning up. If you're somebody who loves building PCs anyway, you may not love this game because you're just doing this fake thing of a thing you already do for real. But if you don't do that, it's actually pretty fun, mindless sort of, not mindless. Oh, man. Well, the power supply support. this video card. Every time I play, I have trouble

getting a video card. Does the game include having to drive back to MicroCenter for another cable that you don't have? That weird hard drive cable with the L shape that I never seem to have enough of? It should have a mini game

where you go and fight your neighbor like fist a cuff with your neighbor to get his two cards he's using for Bitcoin mining when they should be used for video cards. Right, there you go. We need the whole package. That's D.L.

see, watch for it. Anyway, those are good. That's a good pairing. I'm, I'm jealous of today's giveaway. Cool. Well, and big thanks to Wesley for sending these over. Let's see who today's special guest is and find out what's their nerd. Welcome to What's Your Nerd, Kevin Chew, aka I-Corps. How are you doing, man? I'm doing great. Thank you. It's good to have you be part of this, and tell me what you told me before is your nerd. What is you, what are you? you an expert on? I'm going to do Star Wars. Scott always brings up the Star Wars thing.

I did his Kickstarter, and he drew a picture of my family, and the picture I sent him was of all of us in Star Wars costumes. So that's why Scott always says that. Then it should be right up your alley. The narrow-focused Star Wars category that you're getting is the Empire. Oh. So he's going to be answering questions about the empire. And whether or not he should have made that call against that pitcher that one game.

Oh, you said empire, not umpire. Okay, got it. Got it. Right. Yes, I'm sorry for the confusion. It's okay. I'm, look, I'm here to work through things. It's fine.

All right. So, you know, Ryan, and because you're the caller, you're also going to get to decide who goes first. and you can also decide who you think is going to win. So questions about the Empire that I-Corps is going to be getting asked. Who do you think is going to win, Scott or Brian? I think Scott will. Oh. Good.

I do like the Empire. Big fan of the Empire of the two factions in Star Wars when I was a kid. The one I liked the most was the Empire. There you go. And who do you want to go first? Oh, sorry. You ask me who goes first? Yeah, who should go first?

we'll have Scott go first Okay All right Yeah Yes I gotta wait for you Sweet Sorry I was all excited

Darth Vader Tell me how you think he's Can I say something to Oh Yeah Darth Vader That's the answer You can do it

Yeah All right Scott I asked Kevin In the opening crawl In the original opening crawl The Galactic Empire is described using what adjective?

This is in A New Hope, Star Wars Episode 4, A New Hope. The Galactic Empire is described using what adjective. Okay, and this is, you didn't give him multiple choice, he just had to know it. I did not give him multiple choice. Did he know what the answer was?

Do you have a guess as far as what you think the answer is? I don't remember. But ICOR strikes me some of the failing going to camera. the fake news empire um yes let's go with he'll know it i don't but i think he will because he's he is a real he says he acts like he's not but he's a giant nerd about star war he is he's a giant nerd all right let's see how we how we did all right i'm going to guess evil that's really it's a very good guess and that would be that would be a logical thing right because they're

the evil galactic empire No, according to the opening crawl in episode four, they are the awesome galactic empire. Oh, what? Liar. Shit. The awesome galactic empire, like Spicoli wrote that opening. Is it really? Yeah, the awesome galactic empire.

I thought you was yanking in my chain. You're being for real. Look, back in the 70s, 78 or 6 or whatever was, awesome wasn't, we hadn't ruined that word yet. Oh, that's true, because it was A's and went, oh, that. Awesome, dude. Yeah. I'm awesome like the Galactic Empire. Yeah.

Exactly. It was the 80s that ruined that word, not the 70s. All right. Not the best start, but it's okay. The impression of the awesome collective empire. All right. So Brian's got one. Scott's got zero, but Scott, you get to keep playing.

Okay. It's good. I asked I-Corp, what does the acronym T-I-E stand for, as in Thai fighters? Oh, my gosh. Oh. I don't know this. I'm all surprised how much I don't know that. Sounds like Brian knows it though.

Oh. Or Brian just is sitting on attack. The testicle inertia enterprise. No, I have no idea. That's exactly right now. Did I-Corps know that? Yeah, that's the question. I'm going to say in this case, he did not know that.

Okay. All right. Let's hear how he did. By the way, the answer is twin ion engine. is a lot of people in the chat room are saying oh did you know that brian thanks for not asking me geez okay sorry i do know that it stands for twin ion engine that's exactly right well done oh no so it's two nothing brian you i bit i want to win these for him we asked icor it is still with you scott in the empire strikes back what is the name of

Darth Vader's command ship. Oh. Is it the, it's his little tie fighter in the middle there. Right. He's got a, well, not a tie fighter. It's like his version of the Star Destroyer that doesn't have the, oh, the big little sticky upy thing on the back with all the, you know, radar globes and stuff.

I thought you meant the little, when he went into the trenches and fought. I don't think he, I think he only flew. Did he fly in that thing in Empire? I think it was only in a new hope. that you see him in his little tie fighter oh right but this thing had the trench all the you mean is his pong control that he's doing yes his little tiles pong knob yeah shut up he's not flying that day guys i know all of them they're all just turning knobs um but when he's in the ship and empire it's the one with the trench where all his little nazi friends are down in

the trench like in the in the ship okay all right i'm gonna say i'm gonna say he knows I'm going to say he knows. I don't know. Brian, do you know the name of it? The Lincoln. I don't know. The Lincoln. All right, let's see if I-Corps knows it.

Oh, I should know this. I think I even just read it. Yeah. I can't recall it. It's like the Indominator or the one of those really powerful sounding words. But, yeah. I'm going to win Dominator, but I don't think that's correct. It is, you're close, and you were on the rack, right?

You knew it was something tore, the executor. Oh, the executor, of course. Or the executor, if it's like, you know, going out items from the will. It's like Windows. Are you running an executable or are you running an executable? So not the CPAP. Not the CPAP. Not the CPAP.

No. That's a different Star Wars. That's right. Okay. it's uh three three nothing uh brian scott you keep you keep this has been the easiest i know i cannot believe how poorly i'm doing i'm just this is we asked uh we asked icore uh feeling the element of uh feeling the element of surprise was wiser who foolishly takes the imperial fleet out of light speed too close to hoth alerting the rebels to their presence

I don't remember his name, but this is why this is hard. I know. I wish I could blame everything on Akbar, but he's a whole movie away. That's right. All right, my tendency is to think he doesn't know it, so I'm going to go against what I think, because so far I've thought wrong every time I'm going to say he knows it. All right, let's see if he knows it.

That should be Admiral. Azul. That is Admiral Azel. Very good. Well done, Scott. Finally. Now you figured it out. Go against what you think. But don't do that twice. Don't go against what you think by going against what you think.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Oh, man. Don't fall for it. That's right. Exactly. Scott, you keep control. Poor Brian never gets to play. What was the name of the Imperial ship used by the Endor Strike Team on its mission to disable the shield generator?

Oh. Oh. It's the one with the foldy upy, uh, it's the, it's an, it's an empire ship. Uh, I have one right over here somewhere, a little one. Um, I'm gonna say, I like how it folds up. Yeah, those are cool. Um, not incredibly practical, but whatever. They're, they're, you know, they're opulent.

That's what they're supposed to be. So let's say he, let's say he knows. He knows. Okay. You're going to say he knows? Yeah. Brian, do you know the name of it, by the way? I know, of course.

It's the Itchamama. That's right, exactly. Yeah, it's the eat your mama. Yeah. Eat your mama. All right, let's see how he does. It's a Tiberium, Orlando Class Shuttle Tiberium, I think. I'm giving it to you, a Tiderium with a D.

Yep. A tiberian. Okay. Yep. Or an EWalk. Eat your mama. You knew every other letter in that. So.

Maybe I'm confusing with James T. name's Tiberium, Kirk. Dibirium. Diberius, Kirk. Okay. Well done. All right, Scott, closing the gap. Two to three, Brian, still has the lead,

which means you still get control. Okay. I asked I-Corps. After Luke escapes from the carbonite chamber, Darth Vader is impressed that he overcame his fear. What advice does he give young Skywalker right after that? Because he says impressive. that's right

It's not really advice though I mean No no that part's not the advice I'm trying to roll it back in my head here Um Well some bullshit about him You should use it to work with me or something Um

Let's say he knows He knows Okay all right let's say he knows Let's see if he knows Um Let's see If we tosses the lightsaber at him something about overconfidence maybe no

no I can't remember that one that is release your anger even when you say it it doesn't sound familiar I don't feel bad not knowing that one there you go it's time to go back and watch Empire again I feel bad not knowing he didn't not know that one that's what I feel you feel bad to me have too much credit for her i was sure i don't know why i thought he'd know that one but all right so don't get lightsabers on the wrong end i thought's what he said but i guess

that's good too oh that's very good advice yeah exactly all right well uh scott you still have control um we asked icore the sldd 26 shield generator is featured in the original Trilogy to protect what exactly. Give me that name one more time? Sure. The SLD 26 shield generator. Okay. Featured in the original trilogy and it protects what?

Ooh. Brian? Do you know this? Of course. Who wouldn't know this? You can say it. What is it? It's the rebel base on Hoth, I think.

But what do you say, Brian? You're a moron. I don't know. um it's actually not it's actually the uh the second death star it's the uh lando has to fly into the the center and destroy okay but did icor know that is the question he know that uh and if you get this wrong brian wins because he'll have five points and he wouldn't have done i worked i worked really hard i deserve the win i'm trying i'm actually a little confused about that so when the ones i got wrong brain gets a point and then the ones i got right i

a point. You get a point. But when does Brian get control again? But I'm always a head because you're losing it. Oh, only if he's ahead. Not in the lead. Yeah. So the person who's not in the lead always has control.

Gotcha. Okay. Because I thought that would be a really fun way to like you back and forth. And I never first saw. Forso. Trouncing. Yeah. Yeah.

Time to. We got to patch that. They need the hot fix. Um, all right. Exactly. Let's go with, um, let's say, maybe, well,

maybe before you say anything, maybe we make it so that when it's game point, the person who could win, uh, has to be the one who answers. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah.

So this is game point. Brian gets to answer. Oh, okay, okay, he needs to earn. He needs to earn. Well, I totally wasn't, listen.

Did you have a question? Ha ha ha ha. Yes, we did. the SLD 26 chill generator is featured in the original trilogy to protect what exactly. Oh, he totally knows this.

All right. That's what I was going to say on the record. I think he's going to get it. It's going to either be the Rebel Base on Hoth or the F-star on Indoor. So I don't know which one

or it could be wrong on both counts, but I will guess the S-star 2 on Indoor. You chose? correctly. Yeah, the second death star is protected by the

ESLD 26. Like they had 25 versions before that. The other 25 shields? 25 shield versions before that. Well, you know, you've got to iterate before you can perfect. It's model 26. Yeah, that makes sense.

So now because he got that right. Yeah, that means Brian won the game. That means Brian won the game. Boom. Don't sound so disappointed, Ibit. I'm disappointed for Ryan in Wisconsin who doesn't get these awesome games. Yeah, I feel bad about that. Ryan, are you holding up all right over there with your decision to back me?

Do you still like me, okay? Oh, yeah. You know what? Let's do this. Wait, wait, wait, what were the games? What were the games? We have two. We talked about the games at the beginning, PC building simulator and

I'll see let me see if I still have that and I got that got both of the humble bundle this month so I can just get this one I'm planning on doing I'm going to let we have two more questions that never got asked oh Ryan predicts either one of those correctly if he predicts whether I-Corps gets it right then then he wins the games how's that okay I like that okay I like that all right all right so this is for Ryan I asked I-Core before using James Earl Jones George Lucas originally

wanted what movie legend to provide the voice for Darth Vader? Did I-Corps know who George Lucas originally wanted for the voice of Darth Vader? What do you think, for him? Jimmy Stewart, but whatever. Watch the gummy old plounds, Princess Lair. I'm going to blow up your damn planet. I'll do it. I'll do it.

I love all these bad guesses in the chat, Steve Gutenberg, Michael Jackson. So what do you say? So far nobody's actually gotten it in the chat room. So, Ryan, do you think, do you think ICOR got this one right? I think he did. Okay. He's saying, yes. So if he get that right, you win.

Out of the loss, you've now created a win. If he doesn't get it right, you don't win. He's got one more chance. Yes, exactly. Or no, he has one more chance because we have another question. He's one more chance because I have two questions. Yeah. All right.

So many bad choices. Right. Yeah. A lot of funny answers. you can come up with for this one. Yeah, I don't know. I can only give you a joke answer, so I'll say Michael Cain.

No, no, it's a great answer. Give me those plans. It's Orson Wells, who will wear no Darth Vader before it's time. What? Is that real? That's real. Oh, my gosh. They dodged a bullet there.

That's terrible. Exactly. All right. So you didn't win from that question. You got one last question. I asked I-Cor, what foolish soldier of the empire taunts Darth Vader for his sorcerer's ways and devotion to that ancient religion, only to find himself getting choked out by the Sith Lord.

Did Icor know the answer to that one? We'll try it the other way and say he didn't. All right. Let's see if we're going to say he didn't know that one. That worked for me once or twice in this game, so let's see how it goes. All right, let's see how he did. Oh, this one I should know, and I can't recall it either. Admiral Dumbass.

It's pronounced Dumas. No, it's General Mottie. Mottie, yeah, that's it. Congratulations. Ryan, we turned a loss into a win for you. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Yep, you win. Well done.

Also, that nice answer made me freaking laugh, I-Corps. well done. That means you've won that you get this stuff and all you got to do to collect it is send the email to Brian Abbott Coverville at gmail.com and he will hook you up. I like how that turned out a lot better than where it was headed.

And for those who are going to ride in and go, well, if there's no way of losing then what's the point of having the game? No, he's still going to lost. He's still going to lost. Yeah, he still could have lost. Yeah, we just gave him a little last minute lightning round business. Because really, you know, when you think about it, It's predicting whether or not somebody gets something right.

Actually, predicting whether or not one of two people is going to be able to predict whether or not somebody gets something right is a pretty, it's a pretty tall order. So it's more to just make sure you get a prize. Well, I'm just thrilled that he won. So coverville at gmail.com, congratulations, Ryan, and well done. And we hope to see you in a future version of the game. Hey, Brian Dunaway. What's up with you?

Hey, Scott Johnson. Listen to this, man. You did an amazing. one-fourth of Film Sack this last weekend. And if that wasn't enough, tomorrow night at 3.30 Mountain Time, 5.30 Eastern, he and I will sit down and do a booth show. And that's important because we have games to discuss.

So looking forward to that. Is there anything you want to say about that or anything else you got coming up? Happy 500th anniversary episode. 500 episodes on Film Sack. We did expendables three. So be sure to check it out. absolutely love doing the film Sack podcast you guys. Also

about to head out and get me some Rises pieces. Oh, hey, look at that. Yeah, that's pretty good. Make sure you get a play full of chorizo. Chorizo. By the way, 500 years ago, if we did

one episode per year, so we had 500 years. I love these. Okay, yes. What would be the math on that? Let's see. I guess we just do the minus here, right? Yeah, 50. 15-20, yeah. 19-21 minus 5. Is that right in the middle of the...

15-21? Yeah, 15-21. The last big plague we had, does that sound right? Well, let's find out. So in the year, hold on, this is fun. 15-21, crap that happened. What happened? Okay, big stuff in Mexico.

Here's the year. Let's see. Okay, we got... Let's look from January of June. Pope Leo the 10th excommunicated Martin Luther. That was a big deal. that Protestantism pretty much flowered from that. The diet of worms began.

I don't know what the hell that is. And also, let's see. I'm scared of worms, Roxanne. I'm scared of worms. Yep. Let's see, in the first mass in the Philippines was ever held. So we were busy trying to populate the worry, you know, go around and make everybody our bitch, that is to say, Spain, Italy.

But anyway, yeah, so 500 episodes of Film Sack, go all the way back to when Pope Leo the 10th, got rid of Martin Luther King, Jr. No, that's not. It worked at all. Brian Dunaway, have a fantastic... And Gary from Lantronics was born. Yes, Gary from Lantronics, he can tell the tale. Find him on the tadpool. Started working at Lentronic. Yeah. Real about it.

Have a good week, and I'll see you tomorrow for that show and kiss our butts. All right. See you, Brian. All right. Let's see. We had time for one new story, I think. Yeah, good. Because we've been sitting on this one forever.

Yeah, we've got to get this one. out. So here's this. It's a quick bit of news brought to you by. Brought to you by Soundography, where Hammond and I take a look at a band called Ryan Shoup and the Rubber Band. Never heard of them? Neither had I. But they're good. They're really good. And they have a great song. Oh, yeah, they're local to you. Yeah. My daughter's favorite band growing up was Ryan Shoup and the rubber band. Carter,

she's a little embarrassed now because she doesn't think they're that great. But when she was growing up, went to all their concerts, bought all their. Her albums love these guys. Did she sing their song Beer Run? Yeah, she sing beer run every day. No, she didn't sing that one. And Corn Dog and all that. Anyway, Ryan Shoup, it's awesome.

And it's our featured artist today on Soundography. Go listen, soundography.com. Yeah, very popular local band. That's cool. All right, quick story here about a thing that we've been holding on for too long. It's got to get out there. It's our duty to let the world know. Duty.

The first preserved dinosaur butthole is perfect and unique, says paleontologists. Perfect and unique dinosaur butthole. Yes, this butthole is not only perfect, but also rather unique, they said. The first dinosaur butthole ever discovered is shedding light of where the sun don't shine. The discovery reveals how dinosaurs use this multi-purpose opening. What? known as the the cloakal vent is what they call it just was it multiple oh okay never mind yeah I guess we're getting an answer to that you got for it's for the pooping it's for the peeing and it's for

the breeding and it's also for the lady folk the egg laying so you got all this stuff coming out of it actually it's it's a it's a it's an all-in-one device kind of like my scanner printer fax machine yeah yes which is kind of a problem if one part breaks then they all break right Right, exactly. Which is, I don't see any dinosaurs around to you. I'm just saying, maybe they're... Whoa, there you go. It's exactly right.

They tried to save money on that all-in-one unit. And you see what happens? Take it back to Staples. They didn't have extended warranty. Exactly. Tell the guy at Staples, you don't want it anymore. The dinosaur of Dairy Air so well-preserved researchers could see the remnants of two bulges in its back door, which might have been made-of-housed musky scent glands that the reptile possibly used

during courtship. Hey, baby. Check out my musky scent. Check out my cloacal vent. Yeah, look at my vent. The anatomical quirk also seen in living crocodiles. So this is the thing we see there. Although the dinosaurs, caboose, shares some characteristics with the backsides of living creatures.

It also is one of a kind. The anatomy is unique. It made a weird noise. I didn't know where that came from. The study leads researcher Jacob Venter, a paler. a paleobiologist at the University of Bristol and the United Kingdom, to live science.

It doesn't quite look like the opening on birds, which is the closest living relatives to dinosaurs. It does look a bit like the back opening of a crocodile, he says, but in a different, and in some ways, quote, its own cloaca, shaped, sorry, shaped in its perfect, unique way, says Venter. Cloaca, by the way, I got corrected on the pronunciation.

Cloaca. Cloakle vent. Cloacal vent. cloacal vent Luke just shoot a couple proton torpedoes down the cloacal vent and let's get out of here Woohoo

I'm gonna blow this thing and let's go home I'm glad you threw the woohoo in there That's good Yeah there's a little Uh anyway Sets a little bit more of the stage A little bit more of the mind theater Going on

The uh just so we To give him proper credit here The well preserved Booty Hole Uh belongs to the dinosaur Pes. Okay, this is going to be tough. Pistockeracus. Yeah, the only you just don't pronounce the P, the Cicassaurus. There we go. I don't like that one.

I like Cicassarous, buts, and I can't lie. It's well preserved, I can't deny. When a girl walks in with a cloacled vent, I get sprung. Cloacled vent. That's fun to say, Chloeacled vent. It totally is, yeah. Anyway, this is a Labrador-sized, not even that big. Labrador-sized horn-faced dinosaur.

It was a relative of the triceratops. Its most famous trihorn cousin had lived during the Cretaceous period, which lasted from 145 million to 65 million years ago. So there you go. Best butthole we ever got. This is better than all the other buttholes. No butthole has compared. But what we'll compare is this fine music Brian's about to play is we take a break.

And when we come back, we spend some time with. Bill. A little time with Stephen. I have a question to ask him before we get into all this freaking Wanda Vision business. And stick around for that, because that's going to be great. Brian, why don't you play something for us? Yes, a duo named Smith and Burroughs. It sounds like either like a ink I used to buy at art school, expensive ink. Like, oh, I need to go get another jar of Smith and Burroughs. Dang it. It means I'm not going to be able to eat for a week. Or a fancy steak restaurant. Yeah. Or like a.

I don't know, like an auction house or... An auction house, right? Yeah, Smith and Burroughs. Anyway, they have a brand new album called Only Smith and Burroughs is good enough. It's coming out February 19th on PIAS recordings. I love these guys. They do some great, some great covers. They did a cover of A Wonderful Life by an artist named Black from the UK and a cover of YAS is Only You.

These guys are awesome. They're really, really good. Here's the brand new track. I want you back in my life from their brand new album coming out later this month. Why does town move so slow? Get me out of this humble. Too much of me with myself, but I'm into rubble. All the clouds are gray, and the wind is a bit to bite.

All I know is I want you back in my life. All I know is I want you back in my life. All I know is I want you back in my life. All I know is I want you back in my life. I need to love somebody I need to love somebody nah nah nah nah I need to love somebody

in your body I hate Mondays because that's the day when it all falls through I need a heat wave A bit of it a minnie that off I go to Get me out of this humble Guess he did with me Then you're true of all

All the games we play Couldn't keep on from creeping in All I know is I want you back In my life All I know is I want you back in my life All I know is I want you back in my life I'm here to love somebody, somebody,

All I know is I want you back in my life. I'm here to love somebody, somebody. I'm in love somebody, anybody, da, da, da, da, da, da, I'm in love, somebody, anybody.

This is it, L&M filters. It stands out from all the rest. Miracle tips, much more flavor. L&M's got everything. It's the best. The MorningStream, that's my safety word. By the way, that was Brack from the Brack show here. There was a scene where his face was...

His face was blown off or something. I can't remember what happened. He had to find his face. It was great. He's got time to watch the Brack show. Oh, yeah. Those things are like 10 minutes long. They're great.

Yeah, that's true. Stick them on to the background, do other work. It's the perfect side watch at the moment for me. Anyway, see, I got to focus. I got to focus on... things like parasite with all the words down there. And I got to focus on... Exactly. You can't put that on the background

because it's like reading. There's reading that needs to be done, but not with the Brax Show. Right. And then the... You barely need to watch the Brax Show. The Wanda Vision, you got to pay attention to that. Lots of paying attention involved with that one. Yeah. Well, we'll get around to it. I get it. I get it. Thanks, man. Thanks for understanding. Excellent. There for you.

Thanks. Punish Props.com coming in. Owned by one chin beard slash Bill Duran. He'll be here shortly And we'll be talking Right after this button here Your bat caves open there, Bill Bill Duran

What is up? How are you? He is from PunishProps.com And he joins us on Monday It talks about the world of makers Making Things It involves everything from foam smithing To 3D printing To everything in between

Bill, welcome and hello Good morning, friends Sorry, my cat's making a racket over there Oh, I wondered about this It's a cat, is it? Like stringing it? Like a... Yeah, no.

He's making a fork out of paper. Is he using cat cut? Is that what they? That's not a, that's for violins or something, isn't it? I think so. Oh, okay. I can't remember. At one point for tennis racket strings, maybe not.

Here's my quick comment about cats. Last night at about 8.30, we're about to put the dogs at a bed, right? Put them in there, their little sleeper kennels and be done with it. And the cat barfed. just a big old barf in the middle of the room and no one knew about it except for Ripley Ellen Ripley the dog sees it and decides that looks good and went over there and ate it okay so then she ate the cat's barf and then we put her in her kennel and she immediately barfed up the cat barf with her own barf in her kennel I felt like it's never going to end it felt like this chain reaction that had been started that wasn't going to end until the universe collapsed on itself it was awful. So don't let your dog eat cat barf because then they'll probably barf, which will make your daughter

want to barf. Yeah, it's already making me want to barf. I've been to put my headphones down. I'll burp back. And when you have, look, when you've got 15-year record going for the last time you barfed, you don't want to be put in the situation where you may barf. So take it for me, a 15-year

barf veteran. Don't let your dogs barf. Okay. Perfect. Hey, Bill, it's good to have you here. Let's get right into it. What do you got for us this week? Sure. This week I want to talk about prop collecting. Last

week, over on our YouTube channel, I made a video going over my collection of Skyrim props, of which I have many. So I have props that I've made. I have props that other people have made. I have some props that

other people built and then I painted. Pretty cool. Some of my favorites. I Keening. I don't know if you guys remember the dagger Keening. But I also have the normal steel axe. It's one of my favorite ones.

And I even have a sweet roll from Skyrim, believe it or not. Oh, man. You made a time, B. Role? Yeah. My friend Leah made it and gave it to me. At the time, back in those days, at the time, when the game was new in 2011, it had some of the best rendered food in video games.

It looked right. Yeah. Still to this day, actually, still looks pretty good. low-poly. There's some mods that you can make the food look better now, but for whatever reason, Skyrim was known for, like, really quality food items back in 2011. I remember someone went and collected all the cheese wheels and then, like, threw them down a hill or something. Oh, yeah, that was a thing, right? Or I remember doing that with the housing in the game. You could just fill your house up with cheese wheels. That was like the

popular thing to do. Yeah. And then you would shout and they would all go flying everywhere. Makes me wish I would have lasted longer in that game than, you know, than two hours before I said, ah. Yeah, it's too bad. Look, Brian, like your, like your honeymoon, Skyrim takes time to sort of, you know, you have to like give it the time. Wait, do we have that, do we have that audio on film sack?

It's a, it's a hell of a thing. The game endures. And clearly, if you're a prop collector and you like Skyrim, there's no shortage of stuff you could have on your wall. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So I was digging through my, I have quite a collection of props and stuff from lots of

different things. And it turns out I have a pretty good, let's say a set of Mass Effect stuff, right? I also have a pretty good set of Fallout stuff. And I have four or five, don't quite know, Blade Runner guns. So I've got a bunch of different little sets of props. I think that's pretty cool. especially if you have a favorite thing that you want to collect all of the things of. So if you have a favorite show or movie or game,

you could go out and try and collect a bunch of different props from that property and make your own neat little collection. So I figured I'd go over a couple of different types of props you can look for and then where to go find them. Cool. It's not all weapons, right? Like, that's not everything. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. And not all props are created equal. So, for example, right, you can go get a replica of a prop. If you want to get something from your favorite TV show, the best way to do it is to get something that someone else is made that looks like the prop from the movie, right? There are various qualities you can get out of a replica, and you need to decide how much you care about that. So the sort of gold standard is to get something that looks screen accurate, right? So if I want the blaster from Blade Runner and I want it to look just like the one from the movie, I want one that is screen accurate. Now, screen accurate may not be what you're after, because I'm here to tell you, some movies made props that on screen look really, really bad.

So, for example, Ripley's Flamethrower, right? they have the actual screen used prop in the sci-fi museum in Seattle. And it looks like someone made it in about 20 minutes. Well, because I think Ripley made it in about 20 minutes. Right, exactly. You know, stuck this thing on there and like a laser on the front or something. So you could go out and try and get a perfectly screen accurate version of that flamethrower and it'll look like a two by four that someone glued a bunch of stuff to

and then spray painted gray, right? right you could get that or you could say hey I want an idealized version of this prop right I want someone to like put in the thought and make a really cool looking screen screen a flame thrower that looks like the one in the movie right oh my gosh you are so right that thing is garbage yeah yeah it's I'm looking at the original that's a terrible I mean it was all dark in there and it helped because we didn't pay attention to the details but that's all they needed for the shot too you know yeah I've been to that museum by the way and see how that things are so amazing yeah you keep an eye out for stuff that are screen accurate you may have to do your do your own research to see how just how quote accurate it is but if that's your your holy grail then that's uh one path you can take another path you can take is to find something that is screen used so we're talking something that was actually in the movie or tv show now i make stuff from video games usually so there's no such thing as a screen used prop unless they made, let's say they made a book for MIST, right?

They actually made a real prop for MIS. Now, no one's going to let me get my hands on that. They only made one. So I have to make my own MIST book, which I did. But for TV and movies, it is possible to buy stuff that was made in the movie. Do you think you always have to do something that is in a recognizable space? In other words, like, let's say you're a giant Barney Miller fan and you find that you found an old typewriter that Barney Miller, used on screen. No one else

is ever going to look at that and go, you have the Barney-Beller typewriter? No one's going to do that. And I'm here to tell you, Scott, that is not true. Someone else on the internet is going to get way more excited about that, and they're going to buy it. They're going to outbid you on eBay for it.

I'm here to tell you. That's a good point. And I guess that's the neat thing about collecting in this age is the shared the shared interest is a lot easier to find than it was back in the day. because if you were in the 80s and you had that typewriter and you showed it to your neighbor,

he's not going to know or care. Right, right. Big deal. So anyway, if you're looking for stuff that actually came out of a movie, or excuse me, or a TV show, a big distinction would be to find something that is a hero prop or a stunt prop.

So the stunt prop, there's probably more of them. They probably aren't as good of a quality, but they made extras so that they don't break the hero prop. Now, hero props, Let's say the hero blaster from Blade Runner, usually only one or two of those. In fact, there's only one of those, and it is accounted for. So you're probably not going to find.

It's hard to find hero stuff, but stunt stuff. Sometimes look really, really great, and you can get your hands on them. A lot of times, too, you'll find something that, like, came out of a production mold. So it wasn't used on screen, but it was cat, like a stunt pistol, let's say. Like, I have a stunt pistol from the original, Battlestar Galactica that came out of

it. It wasn't used on screen, but it did come out of a mold from the show, which is kind of cool. So it still has some lineage to the show. Sure. That's cool. And then sometimes promotional costumes and props and vehicles are made. So I know they made several Batmobiles for TV commercials.

Right. So they weren't used in the movie. They weren't made out of a production mold, but they weren't made by the production to promote the movie or something. So that's something else that pops out a lot as well to keep your ear to the ground. Now, where do you go to buy this stuff?

That's the tricky thing. Where do you go to find this stuff? Because you scared us all off with the whole, well, be on eBay, you'll get out bid. So where do we find out if we can't get it? So if you want to look generally for just props, the replica prop forum is a really great place for it. They have a section called the junkyard.

You do need to be a member in good standing to be able to participate in the junkyard. But that's a great place where people will, like, let's say they get a part that you might need. they'll make a mold and sell a run of copies or they'll sell a run of a full prop that you could get a casting up, let's say. And sometimes people sell their screen used props

and stuff there too, which is really cool. That's the replica prop for them. And then the prop store, which I've talked about here before, they sell screen used props and promotional stuff and all sorts of things. They're selling stuff all the time, but occasionally they have these big auctions with tons of really good stuff.

so their website just look up Prop Store you'll find them they have a lot of really great stuff and you'll find that it's not just guns and swords you can get like printed money from movies you can get clothing you can get all sorts of wacky things

that you forget that they have to make for a movie yeah the money stuff my son bought a big wad of money is supposed to look like 10 grand or something but it basically looks like just a big wad of folded over and then elastic band money. And it looks legit.

Until you look closer. Yeah, you'd have to open it to see how fake it is. But on the outside, it looks as real as any money you've ever held. It's really cool. Yeah. And you can get fictional money that way, too, because they make cash for, you know, Firefly or whatever. So those places are really fantastic to look for stuff.

And then Etsy and eBay. eBay more for like not stuff that people made themselves. Etsy more for stuff that people made themselves. But those two places are a lot more chaotic, let's say. But you just got to kind of have custom searches saved to keep an eye out for the things you're looking for. Is there like a decent market where somebody who's really good at designing props and has a 3D printer and can kind of churn these things out on demand? Is there like a demand on Etsy where he can say, oh, yeah, Blade Runner Gun?

Sure. I have that for you in two weeks and they can just go and then churn one out? Yeah, well, I think a lot of times, there are a lot of 3D artists. I follow several. 3D artists that will model stuff for people to print their own prop at home. Right. And if you're taking that on as like a commission, I could decide,

oh, you want me to model you a blade runner gun. It's going to take me two weeks. And two weeks of work for me would be a lot more than someone could afford to buy one 3D model. You have to ask. You can't afford, though. Right. But I could say, you know what, I'm not going to charge this guy. for my 3D modeling because I think enough people

will buy it to make up for that cost, right? And that's a decision you can make as a 3D modeling artist as far as whether or not it's worth it. I know a lot of people will have a lot of 3D artists will run a Patreon as well. People can jump in and get some models.

Right, pay for the, help pay for the time it takes to make the thing and then everybody gets a prop at the end. That's cool. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. And that's if you want to, again, if you want to make the pieces for your collection yourself, which is most of my collection. Most of my collection are things I made myself.

Well, so that brings up a big question to me. If you're like you and you've got all this stuff and somebody says, man, I'm a huge Skyrim fan, but I don't make swords. But I do make whatever other thing that you're interested in. Let's just say it was a gun from a movie and you just didn't have the time or the wherewithal to make it. Can makers, are there like Reddit pages

where makers are like doing trade or you guys can say? Yeah, a lot of trading goes on, Especially if I have a mold and I can cast stuff. So I've done lots and lots of trades with my friends. Most of the blank resin castings I have are for friends and we traded. I had my Ray Blaster, which is the mold still kind of works. It's kind of falling apart. But for like a year or two, that was kind of my currency.

So if a friend had a prop I wanted, I'd be like, hey man, I'll trade you a Ray Blaster kit if you send me a helmet kit of your thing and we would trade. No money had to exchange hands. We just run some resin through my molds and they do the same thing and we trade. So a lot of that happens as well. Yeah, that sounds it sounds perfectly a reasonable way

to get your deal done between two phones. Also though, if you have a thing and you want to trade it to someone and they are not interested, that's fine. Don't give a gruff for that. Maybe they don't think your prop is very good and that's fine. I'm just saying, I don't want your new

Coca-Cola bottle. Thank you very much. Or if someone may not feel that it's a fair trade, if the thing they made is very complicated and yours is very simple. Just keep that in mind when you're going to trade. People may not feel like it's worth it. Or people may say, you know what, I could really just use the money. I'm not interested in trading. That's fine, too. Well, I hope everybody out there finds what they're looking for and put it all on your wall and show it off and be cool. All right? That's what we're saying. Bill, a bonus link this week?

absolutely my buddy jimmy duressa had a fun little project he made these disposable utility knives or on his youtube channel basically uh whenever you're casting stuff you usually end up with a little bit of extra resin in the cup and if you have a mold you can dump it in and make something useful out of it that resin won't go to waste so he made a little mold that he can put a um a uh a razor blade in and then dump extra resin in the mold to capture that blade and make it into a handle. So he made a bunch of disposable utility knives just out of spare material, right? Yeah, it looks really sturdy too. And then he's got these throwaway knives

he can just leave around the shop for wherever he needs them. Yeah, look like you could, I mean, they look super sturdy. Like you would not only, these are throwaway, sure, once the blade dolls, but pretty hefty while you're using them. That's cool. Yeah. And the best part is just that you can make it from materials you were going to waste anyway. Yeah.

Yeah, that's awesome. Very cool. Go check that out. We talked about him before. It was Jimmy DeRest on YouTube and, of course, PunishProps.com as well as the YouTube channel. And I think he's a good follow on Twitter. So go follow him as Chinbeard on Twitter. I'll have a fantastic week.

And may your Skyrim props never end. Bye. I sure wish that Jimmy DeRest would figure out some way to let people know when he creates something that it's his. Right. I feel like that guy's missing out on an opportunity every time he doesn't have his name on stuff. So maybe print it in giant letters on the side of things or something. I don't know. Maybe you do that.

Okay. Here comes, everyone. A chance for me to feel bad about not watching a thing again. Hands on your mute buttons, folks. Yep. I think we're going to talk a bit about a thing. thing and I don't care about spoilers so I'm I'm totally open to whatever discussion we want to have but before we do any of that we have to do this steven joining us he does as he does

rather every Monday morning uh Stephen Schlecker all the way from major spoilers.com joins us now Stephen before we get crank in here I got a question for you all right okay well more of a question for you too but go ahead and ask yours more of a statement so last night I had a really hard time sleeping. Don't know why. This is a weird thing. So about... Guilt. I'm going to guess guilt. No guilt. But about 1 a.m. My wife reaches over for no reason

and scratches my back. I'm facing away from her. She reaches over and she goes scratches my back. It was probably just her and her sleep. She doesn't even remember doing it, but she did it. It woke me up and it startled me and as a result, I couldn't sleep for the rest of the frickin night.

Wow. So from like 1 a.m. until like now you had like hour of nothing to do. Right. I could have watched it. You're right. I could have watched it. But I never do that because I'm always like,

I got to lay here until I fall asleep. So here's what I thought about instead. I just wanted to throw this at you, and then we'll get into the, we'll get into Wanda Vision. I was thinking a lot about Batman, because I am reading a ton of DC stuff right now. Yeah.

And loving most of it. I just finished the whole black label series, the various books they did. They were like dark reimaginings or whatever. Yeah, the one with Batman's weiner in it. The one with Batman's Wiener in it. It also had the one with the Harley Quinn one. I think the whole series is called Harleen.

Yep. I can't say. I can't say the guy's name because I can't pronounce it, but the artist, he both wrote end to the art. He's freaking great that guy. Anyway, I loved that. I really, really enjoyed it and loved them all, actually. And by the time I was done, this hit me.

So this is the thought that hit me while I have Batman on the brain. He is sometimes referred to as Batman and then oftentimes referred to as the Batman. So when people say, what's happened here? The Batman showed up and did a thing. No one ever says the Superman showed up. They only say Superman showed up. And then I thought, well, what other example in comics

do we give them the before their name? The shadow, the question, the green arrow. Those are all ones I thought. Well, the green arrow is iffy. you sometimes get that but the other two are good examples right that's only if you throw amazing in there nobody says the spider man yeah no one says the spider man

but they do say the wolverine the Hulk yeah that's true but the Wolverine gets it all the time and it occurred to me that the reason I don't know about gets it all the time there was just one movie called the Wolverine but I don't even think like you know I guess when he introduced himself on the cover of that Hulk issue it was the Wolverine

but even in like the X-Men titles. They never called him. Oh, the Wolverine. Go see if the Wolverine can fly the Blackbird today. Well, it's mostly, whenever I see it, like I read Old Man Logan, and there was a lot of that in there. But it was mostly people that weren't tied to the organizations he worked with. It would be like some guy out in the street going, look, it's the Wolverine kind of thing. Kind of like they would say, look, it's the Batman. And so my thinking is, I have a theory about this, that most of the time, the reason you see the Batman and not the Aquaman is because

Batman and Wolverine are both almost objectified. They are turned into darker, angrier, mysterious, kind of messed up characters. And it's, when you say the, it fits.

But if I said the Superman, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't sound right because I don't think the personality fits. And so I just think more often than not, If you're going to put a the on front, it's because they're dark. And it works somehow. It's some weird psychological thing humans do.

And I can't quite put my finger on it. Three-fourths of the Fantastic Four are the thing, the human torch, the invisible woman. Yeah, but see, that works because those are descriptors. You're saying, the human torch, the invisible woman. Okay. Right? Like, if her name was invisible woman, you might still do it. I don't know.

I know what you're saying though Right it adds okay But if you're like if you're like you know And the Hulk makes sense because the Hulk again is a descriptor It doesn't have a final word in it But it's the word Hulk means it's the Hulk like I don't know it's hard to explain But it seems like I see where it's coming from

Yeah and I don't know why I got so obsessed with it But for the rest of the night it's all I could think of So now I have I have jettisoned my pack I've vented my cochlear whatever we said earlier This is my cochlear vent there. I have let it all out of my head now. I don't have to think about it anymore is what I'm saying. All right. So just kind of a follow-up. In January 1933, one Jerry Siegel wrote a short story for a fanzing called Science Fiction, the Advance Guard of Future Civilization No. 3.

And in that, his short story was called the reign of the Superman. Okay. And then, you know, a few years later, five years later, he would put the Superman into a comic book. Interesting. See, that's interesting because I would have never thought that. When I look for, when I type, when I Google search or duck, dot go search either one, I search for the Superman. All results say Superman because no one thinks of them, right? So they're going to be, but they're going to be exceptions like the one you just pointed out.

I just think there's something there and I can't put my finger on it. I don't know what it is, why it's so natural to say, the Batman. Yeah, there are two members of the Avengers, the Scarlet. Charlotte Witch and the vision that both included when they were originally introduced. Scott, I got a question for you. Yeah. Here comes my question. When you were in school, did you ever just walk into class and say, hey, teacher, I know you gave us a whole week to do this homework, but I didn't do it.

Did I ever? Are you kidding? What you're going to do? I just didn't do the homework. That's all I did. That's all I did. That's all I did the time. All the time.

I would wing it all the time. Let me tell you, you know, you had a nice trapper keeper with your classes all separating out or whatever. I never had a trapper keeper. Those were too expensive. You know what I had? I had the paper they gave me folded into fourths and in my back pocket. I did not take school very seriously. Fold it if they were lucky.

Yeah. That's like better off dead where he reaches into his back pocket for the math homework and he opens it up. It's got gum stuck all over it. Oh, yeah. It is a lot like that. It's more like I was like I was carrying George's wallet around and not like. like proper school stuff. But all right.

So yeah, yeah, Scott didn't watch it yet. But here's the thing. And I know it's only like, what are we? Half hour each. So four episodes.

We're talking like two hours. Yeah. Topps. Yeah. So that's like a Marvel movie. Really, when you think about it. Here's the problem.

I keep doing this thing where like last night, I wrap up. There will be dungeons. Everything's finished up. I posted the show. It's like nine o'clock. And I'm like, okay, should I watch it now?

I'm so tired, though. So let me, let me ask you let's ask why what what is your aversion because i think i think i kind of know where you're coming from on not wanting to watch this so what is your version to sitting down and watching i know you want the rest of your family to sit down and watch i really do want to watch it my biggest aversion is i can never get my daughter or my wife or or all three of us to in the same place at the same time because they also want to watch it so the so because we all seem to not be able to coordinate and they're busy watching reruns of new girl uh i i by the way new girl's great i'm not

complaining about new girl i like that show yeah but it's not few seasons are great yeah it's gets i mean whatever when people start falling in love you always get in trouble so forget it but um when for an entire season they didn't have the new girl it was not as good and that was weird that was weird a lot of people i'm just curious because you know sometimes i get interested in something but it's just like you know i'm not in the right mindset to watch the show or i don't really i maybe i'm going to be disappointed if i watch it because so many people are talking it up and and so maybe i'll just kind of delay as much as I can. And since, you know, everybody's watching reruns, I'm surprised you're not wanting to watch Wanda Vision because episodes one, two, and three are all about. Let's remake classic television

and use classic television tropes and shove them into the storyline and inject a few little bits of, of mysterious and sinister and all those kinds of things. So I'm wondering if that's where you're coming from. Where's Wendy? We need Wendy here. Yeah, we need Wendy for this. She won't be here until Thursday. But here's the thing. Like, when I think about my reasoning, I don't think you're totally wrong. There might be something to it, but part of it maybe is I'm waiting to, like I heard episode four is the thing that makes everything up so far worth what you've watched. Yes.

Yes. This is, like, you're procrastinating would have paid off if you would have watched the first three episodes and the fourth when the fourth came out. Well, it still will because that's where we're out. I'll be honest. First episode, I thought was really great, really clever. Then

we get into episode two, which is very much bewitched. And I'm like, no, okay, that's fine. We get a little bit more of the sinister, peeling away and then we hit episode three which is a brady bunch meets the partridge family kind of stuff and by the time that one was over and we had a brand and i had a whole week in between i was kind of like okay something needs to happen and i'm not i like mystery box stuff i like the mystery box to a point yeah but if you don't start pulling out some reveals mystery box gets

really old really fast and i think with episode three i was kind of done with mystery box and Friday rolled around this last week, and I was like, man, do I really want to sit through another episode three episode? Right. And then everyone's like, oh, no, you really need to watch it. So I sat down and watch it. And episode four is the game changer. The episode four is the point where they start pulling out.

Here are some things that are happening in the world. Now we're starting to make some connections between what we've seen in the previous three episodes and what's going on in the outside world. And so it's really good to watch. Plus, we get some, and this is the part where I'm going to get into a little bit of spoiler we get the return of two great minor characters well actually three if you want to count monica rambo but she's been around for a while she's been around since captain marvel uh in that movie as a child and now she's all grown up episode four shows what happened you know after the

snap who was involved in the snap and what's going on with there which i thought at first when it was going on as like i was confused for a moment until someone called it the blip and i said oh oh okay this makes perfect sense what's going on yeah you see the you see people coming back from the blip which they didn't even show. I'm sure I remember. We saw it in Spider-Man. Did we see in Spider-Man where people were... We saw it in Spider-Man.

They had all the footage of, like, the basketball players were in the gym playing, and all of a sudden, the marching band popped in, and everyone's like, what the heck's going on? That's right, yeah. So then we also get the return of, what's her name, Darcy? Cat, yeah. Cat Denning. You may know her from the very first Thor movie, where she appeared as kind of an assistant to Natalie Portman's Jane Foster character.

and then she was in Thor 2, the dark world running around, screaming Yume you a lot. She's a broke girl. Yeah, and she disappeared for a while. And then she comes back now. Remember, she was just an assistant. She comes back into the fourth episode

as Dr. Darcy Lewis, astrophysicist. Oh, interesting. That's kind of neat that, you know, this show does a lot of attention to detail, which is really, really cool. And when you follow a character, she could have just come in as,

well, here's Darcy Lewis. She's got some knowledge of blah, blah, blah, stuff. But no, they, they grow her up even in the times that you don't see her. Yeah, her and Michael Sarah, they got a playlist together. That's who that is, right? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Nick and Nora's Infinite playlist?

I think she's Nora. Isn't that some other manic pixie dream girl? I thought that was another manic pixie dream girl. Yeah, that's Nora. That's a pretty good movie. Huh, okay. I love that. That's a pretty good movie. Yeah, I like the movie a lot. The other person that comes back is Jimmy Wu, who was basically the parole officer for Ant Man in Ant Man in the Wasp, right? Yes.

And they do a really cool thing with Jimmy Wu because, you know, he's graduated like full-on FBI guy, which is interesting because for those, Jimmy Wu is a classic Marvel character. In fact, he goes pre-Marvel all the way back when Marvel was still Atlas Comics. He appeared in Yellow Claw number one. I forget the year on this. But he showed up as Agent Jimmy Wu, who was assigned to track down this character called the Yellow Claw. Now, this is, you know, still at the time.

of yellow peril, so there's a lot of problems with that. But Jimmy Wu went on for four issues in Atlas comics, and then he appeared in Agents of Atlas in that series a couple of times, and then he showed up in Ant Man. So he's got a legacy in Marvel Comics. But in Ant Man of the Wasp, because Paul Red's character has been in house arrest, he's been learning close-up magic, so he's doing all these card tricks. And Jimmy Wu is like, how did you do that? and Ant Man's like, no, it's, it's magic.

And then we see him in another little bit at some point, I think it's an Ant Man where he's watching a video on the screen and he's trying to learn close-up magic and totally screwing it up. Oh, right, yeah. And so the minute that you meet Jimmy Wu in Wanda Vision, he's walking up to Monica Rambo and he just flips out a card using that close-up magic. So even then we're seeing the- about that connection. Yeah, we're seeing this evolution of characters and the entire Marvel universe in excruciating detail to go that deep into all of those things in a 20-minute, 30-minute episode. I thought it was pretty, pretty cool.

This is that dude that plays the dad on... Yeah, Randall Park. Fresh off the boat. Fresh off the boat. Yeah, I like him a lot. He's awesome. I want to say he was on Veep for a while, too, if I remember currently. He was, Danny Chung on Veep.

Looks like, he's, yeah, he's great. He's great. He's so deadpan, too. I love it. He works a lot. I mean, what did you think? Do you agree with me, Brian, that the fourth episode is really the game changer in this season so far? For sure. Tina was probably pretty close to saying, you know, all right, we take it or leave it after the third episode and being more of the same.

I was still invested. I'm still, you know, still trying to figure out, all right, what is this, what does this thing mean that is like a weird thing that happens during that sitcom-y? episode. But Tina looked to me after four had started and said, this is what I wanted from a Marvel TV series. Yeah. And the thing is, if they would have put this episode

like in episode three's position or something, I don't think it would have paid off, right? I don't, if they would have shown all of this stuff interconnected with what we were seeing before, I don't think that would have paid off because there's a lot of, there's a lot of here's what's happened in the previous three episodes, what was going on outside.

So there's a lot of that going on. But I think this is a point where they knew the audience would be just frustrated enough that they would give you this payoff to make you go, oh, I'm in for five more episodes. Yep, exactly. And the only thing they maybe could have done better was released the first four episodes on day one, although that really spills all their candy in the lobby. Like two episodes was generous. Three could have been done because you see a lot of streaming services do. Here's the first three episodes to get you hooked. But I don't think three would have been enough. So, yeah, they did what they, I think they did what they had to do. And I think the

order is correct. Yeah. And you got to, yeah, you got to see the setups for, for episode four before you see episode four. So is this why everybody's on Twitter is putting pictures of him up saying Jimmy Wu should have his own FBI investigative like X-Files show. Yeah. That's going on. Totally should. Yeah. It'd be great. All right. I saw a lot of that. I went, I'll bet this is related to Bland Division somehow because everybody's just dancing around it on Twitter so so it's not to spoil while they're talking about him. And I didn't know why. But now that you've mentioned all this, I think it's, it's coming clear to me what the hell's going on. Yeah. And I think it's a little bit more clear of, you know, again,

avoiding the big spoiler of what's really behind all this. Episode four pretty much tells you what's behind all this. Right. But not the why. Right. Not the why. And it's still, believe me, there's still questions after episode four that need to get answered. But I would hope so. They still got four more to go, right? Five. I think they have nine episodes this season. Okay. Well, that'll be a lot more of the stuff I haven't seen yet. So let's look forward to that. You know, like, what, five more weeks, Scott to catch up? Do we want to take it?

What's the over-under? What episode of one of the television will be the... I'll say episode. I'll say episode six is when, when that episode six is released, that's the week Scott will watch. Okay. Brian, what do you say? I said that. Scott's going to go, I'm going to go sit down and watch me.

Well, I was going to say, I think he does it this week. I think he just breaks down and says, I'm just going to do it. Kim and Carter can. watch it whenever they want but yeah let them watch it in six years when new girls when it's new girl old right exactly yes i don't know what their problem is they just they're like i don't know i think your theory there's something to your theory stephen about why people put certain things off because you're about to invest yourself right with horror movies it took me it took me two years from the time i bought the vavich they actually sitting down to watch the vavich oh the vivich is great i still

haven't watched the vivich brian you should watch the vavich it's good yeah i think i've got it uh I think it's got to be on something streaming right now. See, Tina doesn't like horror movies, so those I do have to watch alone. And that also means that I'm probably watching it at night before I go to bed, which maybe isn't the best time to watch a really scary... It's not going to give you a scary, scary dreams, I promise. Oh, really? Okay, all right. Amazon, or sorry, Showtime and Fubo currently.

Oh, I've got Showtime as part of that CBS All Access, do you know? Oh, yeah, and if you like somebody in the chat says, if you like Queens Gambin, definitely watch the Vovitch because... Anitator Joy. On your Taylor Joy is in there. And also then watch new mutants. Yeah. Plus you got,

oh, that's really good. Ralph Inson. Scott, have you seen Captain Marvel yet? I have seen Captain Marvel not yet. Okay. So Captain Marvel, Ant-Man and Wasp, and Thor 2 are still on the... They're still on my shame list of Marvel to do list.

You haven't seen Thor Ragnarok? I've seen Thor Ragnar. I've seen Thor Ragnarck. He didn't see Dark World. I've seen everything but Dark World, Wanda, or, sorry. On Division, you know about that. Ant Man of the Wasp, and then the other one you said. Oh, yeah, Captain Marvel.

None of those. And I don't know why. I just, I don't know why either. I know. I don't know what my problem is. Just they just didn't happen. And other things like when Mandalorian was coming out every week, dude, I was on it. I was sitting down.

That's what surprised me about this. It's like it's, it's, um, I mean, you're, you're more of a D.C. guy anyway than Marvel. I love Marvel. I love the MCU. Oh, I get. You, you're a DC guy. I don't love DC movies.

DC movies are kind of garbage. That Wonder Woman movie was bad, the second one. Yeah, but once the C.W. has, you know, their flash and black lightning. I haven't watched any of those. None of them. I haven't seen those. I haven't seen Aquaman. I don't know what's even going on.

That Shazam movie, I haven't seen that either. Wow. I guess you just don't even see Shazam. Oh, man, that is such a fun movie. And I'm watching, I'm reading comics like the end times here. you're all over in in the comics yeah I read apparently yeah

go ahead apparently uh the new Shazam movie the second movie is going to begin production in May or release in 2023 well that also is that the one's going to have

the rock as black Adam that is that is a black Adam movie that's a separate movie that's a separate movie yeah okay hey I decided this week that uh Sinestro needs a proper uh I guess that would mean we need some green lantern

to work out but there was a there wasn't a an art called the sinestro core yeah i'm reading that right now it's very good and that made me feel like you could do him right in a movie but he's so stupid on the surface like he's just this moustachio dumb alien i'll get your green lantern yellow is my power he's also very good in that injustice thing that i've been reading and uh yeah there's there's some stuff there there's meat there to be harnessed doesn't make sense yeah there's some other places you might want to check

out Emerald Dawn where he's in charge of training Hal Jordan that's an old series. I want to say from 80 something I want to say Emerald Dawn and then Emerald Dawn 2 is John Stewart and then there's an arc and I forget which one it is. Maybe it is in the Sinestro Corps where he

has to confront his daughter over his essentially war atrocities that he's committed which is also a really cool kind of arc for him. Yeah he's wiped out whole planets. He's bad he's a very bad man. But he's also purple and dumb-looking.

Anyway, more on that later. Do we have any bets on who's going to make an appearance, like side side characters that aren't superheroes that are going to make an appearance in the Falcon and Winter Soldier series?

No idea. But you know, they're going to pack it full of these sorts of surprises, right? I'm hoping so, yeah. Yeah. You'll get down the road and find, I don't know. Where's Samuel L. Jackson right now in the, or sorry.

Sitting on a pile of money. Well, Nick fear you mean, he's sitting up in the sword. Spaceship? A satellite, yeah. Okay. So could, but if you're going to have him show his face, Falcon and Winter Soldiers a place to do it. It could be a shield-related thing probably.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if we see maybe an appearance in vision, in Wanda vision, you know? Could be. You could also get, if you're looking at Falcon and Winter Soldier, you could also get Michael Douglas. That's true. Oh, yeah. Oh, what about Agent 13?

Yeah, like her. She could totally make an appearance. Yeah, like her. Here's what you do. Samuel O'Jackson shows up in one of these sequences, right, and goes, Why am I in this mother effing dream? Or whatever. Because I assume it's all a dream in the end.

That's just my assumption, because I haven't seen any of it. But it's all some sort of forced dream. You want to take an over-under-Bryon-Broner-Watch, there's just some Legion bullshit going on. 23. I don't even have to see it to know there's Legion stuff going on. It smells like Legion. I can smell it. You can just tell. But we'll see. Legion wasn't dreams either. Legion was Mystery Box. Legion was frustrating Mystery Box for a lot longer than Wanda Vision.

Oh, for sure. For sure. Yeah. But that's what you love season two and the turn that season two of Legion took. Right. It was like, oh my God. Plus Legion is what that's where you go to Legion for. Like that's what it exists for. It's not meant to be. Well, you know, you look at Scarlet Witch and the House of M and all that stuff, and there was some whack-a-doodle stuff that could have connections to this. J.C. Calhoun has the right idea. You don't bet when I'll

watch it. You bet how many times I'll see Fury Road between now and the next time I watch it. I say three Fury Roads before he watches Wanda Vision. That's not that bad of a prediction. All right. Steven, always a pleasure. talking and hanging with you. Anything going on around the Major Spoilers Network you'd like folks to know about?

Oh, if you are into poetry and want to see how poetry connects to comic books, there's a new, so you want to read comics installment that's up on the Major Spoilers website this week, today, in fact, that goes into a couple of comics based on poetry and talks about those and some recommendations and some reading list material for you. Not that you would ever do homework, Scott. No. But, you know, there's some stuff there for you. Yeah. So much comic shade from major spoilers. Oh, you should have seen all the fake nerds talk that went on in the chat. Oh, yeah.

Look, they all want me to turn that card in. I would just say, it's not, I'm going to watch it, you guys. Of course, you're going to see it. Scott, Scott, don't worry about it. Look, I have not watched all of Game of Thrones. I have not watched all of the expanse. And I have not watched. What's the other one that?

Oh, I haven't watched Legion. So all the things that you love, I have also not watched. Well, get on it, Stephen, so that you don't have an entire chat. room yelling at you that you're lame and she'd turn your card in. Hell, I finished Doctor Who last night. What did you do? I read some comics and tore a ship apart and shipbreaker. I tried to sleep while Kim hummed Alanis Morissette songs and scratched her nails down

your back. That's a good point. Oh, that was weird. Well, regardless, Scott, of whenever you get to watch Wanda Vision, stay hydrated. I will stay hydrated. Stephen Schlecker, everybody. Major spoilers on Twitter. We'll see you later.

Bye. All right. Oh, he muted himself at the end. I assume he's holding a fart the whole time and they just let it rip. I'm assuming so too, yeah. This whole time just hanging on for dear life and then finally at the end you could let go.

And for the record, I really did like those last three episodes of season 12 of Doctor Who. They redeem themselves at the end there with no more preachy stuff and actual Dr. Hugh's, Dr. Hugh, Dr. Hugh.

Dr. Hugh. With the kind of stuff I want. I want some Cybermen. I want some Jadoon. and I want some of that business. Jeannie disagrees with you. Jeannie disagrees. Yes.

Today, Dice Tomato's name is Jeannie. Hmm. I haven't watched any of it, so I can't say. But I'm sure it's fine. Dr. Hew. All right. It's a Monday, which means a Monday morning mashup, although this is technically a bonus mashup that we're going to insert here,

because Jamie took a little time off, which he deserves. He makes too much of this stuff as it is, and we love it all. And we're always willing to play it. But I'm hoping you got a little breathing time there, Jamie, instead of pounding out another Monday morning mashup. So instead, here's a bonus mashup. Brian called Taking Ransom Notes. Okay?

I know what that means, but here it is. Which we'll find out the very end. We sure will. Los DOS Muffs Hermanos. It's not a computer language. It's DOS. Yeah, let me do it again. Los Dos Monos.

Ah, shit. Las DOS Muffs Hermanos. Close enough. Stick to the Denver Hub Unit. That's wrong. Stuck in the Denver Hump. Let's do that again. Stuck in the Denver Hub.

Oh, my Lord. I'm not going to be able to do my last one. Here we go. Bob and Barry Ann. Barry Ann. Bob and Barry Ann. Barry and Bobby Ann folks. They're exhibiting behavior that suggests they're desperate for a chick,

Jury duty Shit, I'm reading clap Here we go Encourage you to do the right thing and turn yourself in right away Says John Eccalachitino Yucolito.

The ukolito. I used to play the ukolito in high school. It was really a weird instrument, but people liked it. They could have the possibility of causing scarring and other long-term damage. The results were published Wednesday in the journal, Plus One. Prior to the study, we didn't have much information on the impact of spaceflight on the liver. Says Karen Janscher. Lead author of the study and associate professor at the University of Colorado's Unschutz Medical Campus.

She said in the statement, we knew that astronauts often returned with diabetes-like symptoms, and they usually resolve those things quickly. So, yeah. It's like a talking ransom note, like done with different headlines from different magazines. Like someone's trying to confuse Brad Pitt. On shorts and diabetes. I can't help it. I'm ruined.

It's like having a conversation with Michael Winslow. I'm ruined. For those who were confused, my reference to Brad Pitt was seven because they always try to confuse them in seven with mishmash's words. Gotcha. Well, well done. That was great.

Do you have anything else? I don't think. I got nothing else. Okay. I mean, you know, we're, we're on the cusp. We've recorded some episodes.

We have not released any episodes of A&TP, but that is coming up very, very soon because there's a lot of editing and production that needs to happen for those to sound entertaining and fun. I had a thought, by the way. Did you? Yeah, for A&P. So we were talking about how hard it is

that first episode of the new season to let somebody go because it's just so new and fresh and we barely know them and we don't know what they're going to, you know, it feels like we're really shorting them early. Maybe next season, because I only think it matters for the first episode but maybe next season where you do it is once a team loses

then you do like a random a random like randomly somebody on that team gets it gets booed oh god okay now the reason that's scary for everybody right because even if somebody did a really good job on the thing even though they didn't win it still puts them in jeopardy

but then it's not it wasn't us that sent them to the guillotine or guillotine it was the it was the rand it was the rng what did it what done it i'm i'm thinking we just extend the season one extra week and that first week there's a losing team and they have some sort of penalty but they don't lose a player just yet that's not bad either in fact that's better and then then that people stick around and uh yeah because if people suck they need to go scott they're bad then

just hit the road jack all right that's it for my uh thinking hey brian song today i've got a song for you Scott and for you listeners. Bill Sherman, who goes by Lodi A in the chat room, says for my birthday this year, and since we're all going to need a good laugh after the dumpster fire that was 2020, I want to have something patently silly played. If you don't have this song, I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts available. I leave it in the capable hands of the covermaster to find me something equally silly to celebrate my 47th rotation around the soul star. Signed, Bill Sherman. Well, first off, happy 47th birthday to you, Bill. I hope you have a great, great day.

Now, I don't have a cover. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Before we do this, we have to do this. Happy birthday to you. There, sorry. He had to do it. Yeah. No, I'm glad you did. Believe it or not, I don't have a cover of I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, which is surprising because it's one of the songs you think would get covered a lot. There's a lot of covers, old covers like by Danny Kay and,

you know, but they're all old crunery style, and so there's no real, no real kind of amusing cover of it. Now, that said, I do have a song that apparently mentions I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, at least the original version by the specials mentions I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. It's a song called Enjoy Yourself. This is a great song to help you forget about 2020 because this is a a happy song kind of like, ah, you know, forget all that stuff. Enjoy yourself because, well, it's later than you think.

So it's kind of also saying, your time is running out. So enjoy yourself, which is another one of my philosophies. Here's what's really good about this version. This is a cover by Jules Holland and his rhythm and blues orchestra. Jules Holland famous keyboardist from Squeeze, also now a BBC host. He's got a great show later with Jules Holland in the UK. This version is

performed by one of the giants of reggae. As a matter of fact, one of the legends who put reggae and Scott on the map. It's Prince Buster who passed away in 2016 but left us with this amazing, amazing cover of

Enjoy Yourself. Here's Jules Holland featuring Prince Buster and a cover of the specials by way of Tommy Dorsey's Enjoy Yourself. So you guys tomorrow for another edition of DMS. Enjoy yourself It's later than you think Enjoy

yourself While you're still in the key And years goodbye As quickly as you win Enjoy yourself Enjoy yourself It's later than you think Get wisdom, get knowledge and understanding

Those three were given free by the maker Go to school, learn the rule, don't be a faker, no, no, it's not wise that you should be another man's good school. Enjoy yourself It's later than you think Enjoy yourself While you're still in the feet When years go by

As quickly as you week Enjoy yourself Enjoy yourself It's later than you think Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy yourself Enjoy yourself

later than you be Enjoy yourself While you're still in the peace And years now bye As deeply as you read Enjoy yourself Enjoy yourself It's later than you
