Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is Monday, February 8th. Yeah, 2021. I hate that. Yeah, you love the pronunciation of that month, right? Every year we get to talk about it because it just sucks. It sucks.

What are we doing? Listen, until they fix it, we're going to keep talking about it. And dang it, that's the way it goes. It's just annoying. Come up with a better, it's not that hard. There's only 12. Just do like, I don't know. another

tober. Give us another tober. Give us another tober. Yeah. Like dos tober. Dostober. Done. Done.

Or do tober, right? Because it would be the second month. Yeah, do tober. Do, uh, yes. And Brian just did it in, what, less than 13 seconds. But mankind can't figure out a better thing than, whatever. They're not going to change it. They're not changing.

Mankind, he can put a man on the moon, but you can't give us a monthly can burn out you'll get americans doing kilometers before you get us doing yeah for sure a new month name anyway hey uh welcome to the show we're back it's uh it's been a it's been a weekend and uh we're here we're going to make it clear that we're here okay that's what's happening i hear it's been a weekend scott i saw your tweets yesterday see your your note in the post your uh show note post today oh yeah very uh very busy crazy time so i spent most of the Super Bowl talking to my mom trying to figure out how to get her home. I mentioned a little bit of this pre-show.

And by the way, we put a bunch of pre-show stuff in our Patreon feed now. So a good time to jump on to that. But anyways, she's ready to go home, which is great. Got her stitches out. Doctors, like, give her, oh, she's doing good. Send her home. They're going to have three day a week. Physical therapy people come out there.

And all the plans are good. All good on that front. Downside is John, her husband, threw his back out. he's 87 you don't just throw your back out at 87 and go brush it off right exactly i'll be fine tomorrow yeah it'll be all right so he's stuck barely able to move can kind of get around with a walker in the house but can't drive can't you know can't really do much we're bringing home to him an 82 year old woman who just had surgery in her brain and is uh you know experiencing some of the side effects of that but doing well overall but you kind of need someone capable to be able to

So anyway, he can't pick her up. Yeah, you don't want to get her in the house and then say, all right, you two, good luck with all this. Bye. Yeah, everything you have to do. Bye. Let us know how it go. See it at Christmas.

It doesn't work that way that way. So she's, so anyway, long and short of it is everybody who was originally going to be her pick up and take home, which was all discussed previous to this, so that we all knew what was going on and everybody wanted to help, that wanted to know what their role was. It was all decided. And then it got undecided somehow. I don't know how, but one person and another person,

we're like, oh, I can't, this and that. And so last night, I'm like, well, all right, well, we'll do it. But we need to know what time. And so there was, like, worried that it was too early and we'd mess up TMS, but that didn't happen. So it's after TMS. But now we don't know how long the checkout's actually going to take. So we've got to go down there.

And we've got to drive. And she doesn't live. Like me, I'm 20 minutes from this hospital. she's an hour and a half from this hospital. So we've got to go 20 minutes down there and then all the way back and then an hour and a half or an hour or whatever it is to where she lives on the outskirts of Orem and then take her home. And then once we get there, I don't know what happens there

because John's on and Donald Walker and barely moving. I don't know what's going on today. It's good stuff. It's good stuff. Anyway, as a result, Brian, I hardly saw the freaking Super Bowl except for, I guess I saw the parts of the last half all of the fourth quarter. You know, the real exciting time when it was clear that the Buccaneers were just going to cream them.

Exactly. Yeah, it was, boy, you and you and the Chiefs both missed the game. Yeah, it was, that was pretty ugly. But I, what did you think? You were probably having more fun than me. Did you have a good time? I was having, we were having more fun. My aunt and uncle came up, Aunt Barb.

Oh, Aunt Barb. Health care worker, Barb. And my uncle George, we actually, We just said, you know, let's play it safe. We went to, we went out for Tina's birthday. Tina and I went up to Boulder and stayed in a swanky hotel for the night. Yeah. So let's just keep our masks on the whole time, except when we're eating.

And when we're eating, let's be far apart from one another. Sure. And so it's pretty much what we did. We watched the game. We paid more attention probably to commercials than the game itself at times. and I cooked a feast, a veritable feast, Scott. Whoa. You did.

You cooked it. So I made, what's that? You cooked it? You were the guy in the kitchen? Yeah, I was the guy. I was the guy. So I made a, I made a pico de gallo for chips, easy, peasy. Lime squeezy.

I, uh. Yeah, no lemon in there. Don't put any lemon in that. No lemons. I made a, um, a cake for Tina, Victorian Sponge, threw a photo of that up on Twitter. And it, like, I've made a few Victorian sponges. I've tried to make a few of the British Bake Off.

Amazingly, and thankfully, this one for Tina's birthday cake was the best thing I'd ever made. Oh, look at that. Wow. I'm looking at it now. This is gorgeous. It came out perfectly. Golden Brown, no soggy bottom, not dry, and also. So not undercooked. She wanted something cherry, so I, but I did a cherry filling in the middle and then made a buttercream with, which we call it, granadine, which I know isn't cherry. It's it's a pomegranate, but added a nice little pink and some flavor, some cherry flavor to the buttercream. And then, because I wanted to experiment a little bit, I made a pizza, but I based it on my favorite burger, which is the bonsai burger at Red Robin.

Oh, it's got the pineapple on there. The pineapple, terriarchy. So instead of beef, I used turkey, ground turkey. Used a terriarchy base instead of a tomato sauce based, chopped up onions, chopped up tomatoes, potatoes, put pineapple and tariapel. and terriaki sauce again on top and then a cheddar cheese instead of a mozzarella and it didn't taste like the bonsai burger

but but it tasted great it came out really really good and we're all like all right does it does like the bonsai but it's awesome wow look at you freaking gourmet chef Ibitt over there with the that's right the stuff what would Mary Barry have said

what would the what would the Mary Barry say she saw your cake she would say oh that's a cracking good cake Oh, wow, it's high praise. That's what she'd say. Would you get a... I wouldn't get a Paul Hollywood. He'd keep his hands in his pockets.

I wouldn't get a handshake. You know, he gives some people the French handshake, if you know what I mean. Have you ever heard of that? That's where you do the handshake, but you take this middle finger and go, on the inside of the palm, right? I mean, the one I heard of was much worse, but I like yours better. Put it that way. So anyway, yeah, we ate well.

and it had chicken wings as well. We got a bag of chicken wings. They were big, so I had to adjust the air fryer to be lower. Otherwise, these things would have been right up on the grill unit. Sure. The grill unit. Those came out really good as well. So had a really good time.

Yeah, it sounds like it. I mean, you went full, I don't know, proper cookman unit deal. Proper cookman. For four people, I probably made a little too much food but that's fine. We've got leftovers. I've got two slices of pizza for lunch for myself, two for Tina, a little bit of cake for dessert tonight. I mean, we still have meals left for the week. But no, we had a really good time and it was good to be with some other people for a Super Bowl thing, even though, again, we were being socially distant, masks on all the

time you know we were constantly reminded that there was a pandemic going on but yeah the commercials didn't uh didn't want to not let you know that uh see actually this brings i have a beef ready for my beef yeah let's hear your beef do we have a i need a clip for when i have a beef let's see how about this let's do this one uh well that's that drive's taken forever to spin up so maybe it won't happen well anyway maybe not that maybe not that clip but uh so i do have a bit oh no it worked. All right, here we go. Beef meat. Okay, I have a beef. I didn't know that was me. Actually, you know what's better? I smell like me. There you go. There's the perfect one. Nice. Okay, good.

So my beef is this. The, I don't, like I said, only saw the last half roughly and didn't see all the commercials, which is, you know, a part of this event every year. Easily found these days on YouTube, the best one, the better ones, you know. You can find all. You can find all. all of them, but now you can just seek out the good ones. I can go watch it if I, if I'm inclined. I don't feel all that inclined. But to be honest, my big problem this year was I may be alone in this. So I guess come at me if you're at home and you hear this and you have a problem with it.

But I don't believe the beer companies or anyone else when they do when they run a 30 second montage of people wearing. masks and working together and saying we're only stronger together and we need to do this together and we're all together in this. I don't believe them. I think what they're actually doing is what they always do, which is try to sell more beer. Well, sure. I mean, that's the... That's the point. It can be both, right? I mean, it can be saying... Can it be, though? Sure. Totally can. I don't know if it can be. You can say, hey, we've got 30 minutes to get in your face, so you don't forget Budweiser. But also while we're here, you know,

we're thankful for you guys still buying beer while you're in quarantine. And all of our people here wearing masks, and we'll get through this so you can buy more beer. Is that what they're saying? I feel like they're saying. So now, I'm with you at this one, but I can't disparage the Bruce Springsteen Jeep commercial because I feel like that one was the way you should do it.

Well, it may be, but, okay, I did see that one. And I didn't, I didn't mind that one as much because I felt like he probably meant a lot of what he was saying. Yeah. And he doesn't care if you buy a Jeep or not. Well, right. But I assume he got paid massive amounts of money from Jeep. I'm sure he did get paid. Yeah.

Yeah. So this is my only, my only thing is none of it is, they want you to have it feel like it's all very. None of it is. No, they want you to feel like it is. They want you to feel like it is. But it's not. It never is. And so I always feel like I'm getting yanked, you know, just a little bit of yanky yank.

I've been around long enough where as a kid on Saturday mornings, I'd watch cartoons for G.I. Joe stuff or whatever. And I would be told that these are the greatest toys you can ever have in your life ever. And it's not, it just simply isn't true. And so once you get past that, then you can, then you start to see it with more realistic eyes. And the older I get, the more cynical I get about it. because I too am all about this idea that, hey, band together. People are better together as a group than we are individually.

Let's quit being selfish and work together, cross the aisle, all that stuff. I'm into it. Sure. I'm into it. I just don't believe it when Mickelope tells me that. Because Mickelope is trying to sell beer. Now, if somebody secretly at Mickelope said, guys, we're going to spend $30 million on an ad spot on the, on the 30-second ad on the Super Bowl, but we're not.

going to put our name or logo or anything on it. We're just going to have it be a message that we really truly believe in from our cores. And we're going to put it out there. And it's just going to run. And no one's going to know who did it. It's just going to run. And there won't be any, everybody at home will be going, well, commercial was that? Who was that? I'm not even sure. It won't matter because we're doing this from our hearts. We don't care. This isn't about the money. This is about coming together. They're never going to do that, ever, ever. Well, now, I thought there were some companies that said, we're not going to do the million-dollar commercial this year. We're just going to donate our money to other causes.

Oh, did they? Who did? Pepsi did that, I think. Did they? Okay. Yeah, they said, instead of, we're going to put our money where our mouth is. And, yeah, here we go. What did they say?

Let's see. I guess they did sponsor the whole weekend thing, which we'll talk about, I know. Yeah. Joe Guy Art says Budweiser did it too. So yeah, so again, Budweiser is one of the ones I used as an example. But apparently they also skipped doing a commercial this year and put their money towards whatever, health care workers or something. Okay. Interesting. Well, that's good.

I just want one of them to do. I want one of them. That council and COVID collaborative, a group of experts on health education and the economy. Okay. See, that's great. That's admirable, admirable is the word I mean. plenty of people are going to buy your beer so just do a do a big nice corporatey thing that really in the end of it doesn't really going to hurt you anyway it's just no no you got to have some charitable stuff and let those Clydesdale's take him take a year off yeah you know some time let him have a nice year off now that said um there were a couple commercials that I thought were pretty good so if you didn't see them these might be ones you'd want to seek out hmm uh I thought uh flat Matthew McConaughey was creepy and weird but but well produced I'll look that one up I saw the

george Costanza shirt one was very well produced and I really want to know if if that was done without any CGI I trickery if they really made all of those George Costanza faces oh you mean if there's separate shirts exist for each face there are you know 25 different sweatshirts that have Jason Alexander making all of those expressions I really would be great I'll buy whatever product that was for. Tide or something, I don't know. But whatever it is, I'll buy one of their products. He's on whatever Wayne Knight's diet was, though, because he was in that car and he looked really thin.

I'm like, whoa, George, the heck dude. Will Ferrell goes to Norway one was good. And I think my favorite might be, despite how cringy some of the singing was, the it wasn't me Ashton Kutcher and Milakunis commercial. Oh, I missed that too. Yeah. All right. Maybe I'll go fine.

Here's the thing that bothered me. I mean, I like that commercial. I don't, I think Ashton Coucher shouldn't sing, period, flat out. And I also am kind of disillusioned now that I've heard Shaggy speak, Roder doesn't just talk like this man. You know, I think I'm really

bummed. It's like, I want to, why, he doesn't have any accent at all? What's the deal? Wait a minute. This happened? When did he Talk? Is this another commercial? He talked at the end of the, it's a Doritos commercial or a, no, Cheetos commercial. And he doesn't have an accent? Didn't seem to. He only said one line. That's the first time that's ever worked or something like that. And, and there's no accent. There was no accent there. You're blowing my mind here. I didn't know that. I know. I don't like that at all. That's it. Once again, everything I thought was real is a lie because it's all on TV. TV's a lie. It's all all fake. Yep. Well, anyway. The weekend, I was looking forward to and kind of bummed that the sound quality was so janky. It was like they... It was pretty bad. They had his vocals mixed way too low compared to crowd noise and even his own musical arrangement.

You could tell his, he couldn't hear, you know, normally you have some way of monitor. You know, like either it's in your ear or something and you could tell he wasn't getting it exactly right because he was a little off key and he's not a guy that sings off key. normally, so that was throwing me a little bit. It was fine, whatever. It was fine. Yeah. I like, I still like his music. Still like, still like him, but that was a kind of a disappointing. I only saw

I saw a chunk of it because I didn't pay too much attention to it, but there's no, they didn't have Daft Punk come out and do anything with him. No special guests at all. Just a bunch of dudes wearing jock straps running around on the field. Yeah, with the, with the court of owls heads on. They all looked like they were going to get Batman.

Yeah, I made a tweet that is like this is for some reason reminding me of pink floyd the wall and i can't put my finger on exactly why but it's it's reminding me of the movie maybe it's the the bandaged faces from when pink was in the war yeah or the kids singing we don't need no education with their weird potato dead dead dead-eyed potato faces yeah that might be it something some combination of all those i haven't seen that in so long i need to it's probably sackable right as just an experiment so i think so We should watch that. Why not?

Anyway, the weekend. He did make a new meme that took the world by storm by looking all confused in his weird Vegas hallway looking thing. Oh, yeah, his is the backstage. Yeah, so now everybody's like, I can't find my way out of this hall. Give me directions. But people were like,

I saw it. My favorite one was, like, they'll show a giff of it. And he says, me trying to make. sense of 35 layers in an old PSD file I need to convert for somebody or something like that. And he's just looking all confused, like trying to find everything. So that's the meme that'll keep on giving for about a week. Looking forward to that.

That's great. Anyway, I'm jealous of your food and of your altruistic look at the advertising world. Well, I mean, it's less cynical. I mean, I accept it for what it is. I mean, they're still there to sell stuff, but I feel like it's not, it's not 100% disingenuine. Yeah. I think it's probably, um, 75%. Okay, yes, we can give it a percentage.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's look at your cake. You know, I like my percentages, Scott. You do. Can we bring in 100% Brian Dunaway, though? Uh, we can bring in two thirds of him, I'm told. That's all we can have today.

The other third is off, uh, solving crime. I don't know what he does with his other third. Let's find out. We'll add him to the show. In fact, I'm going to ask him, if he could break himself into thirds, what would the third do while the other two thirds are here doing the show with us? What would it do while it's out on its own? We'll find out shortly when he answers his damn phone.

Sounds good. Oh, the Eminem's one was pretty good too. Hey, what? Sorry, I missed the night. The people apologizing with Eminem's one was pretty good. Oh, I missed that. I have to go. Apparently I missed most of the good ones

because all I saw was like the Jeep one and a bunch of sad ones. Yeah, you came in at the end, which is like, well, yeah, run that Bruce Springsteen one, I guess. It was all a little sad. Hey, Brian, done away. Two thirds of you anyway.

How are you? How are you doing? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Two thirds of me. Yeah, so here's the question. We were just talking, if your superpower was that you could break into thirds. Okay.

Two thirds of you were here doing this with us. What would the other third be doing? right now. Okay, so you're saying that I would be full, I would be full, but I would be in three parts. So there would be three of me. Would I also be shorter and smaller or would I be like multiplicity man where I'm all the same size? There's three of me. There would be. Is there any penalty for me having to thin myself to three bits? You would have, yeah, let's say that your head is part of whatever two-thirds is talking to us today, so your head cannot be part of that third guy. The other two, the other two Brad Donnells have no head?

Yeah, there's no head. And one of them is just like a torso or whatever. So now that I know the context, and then give me the question again. All right. They're all going to be bumping into each other like their duplicate weekends in that Vegas hallway. Let's put it this way. If all you had, if one of you was only a waist and two legs, what would it be doing right now? Oh, right now it would be taking a walk in the park, freaking the dogs out.

All right. Okay. I like that. That's a good answer. That's a great answer. All right. Well, speaking of answers, we're going to generate a bunch of those today on today's Babel Royale. We'll get to all that in a second after we introduce our calling guest. Hi, thanks for holding. Who's this? This is Casey. Van Basel R.M. in the chat room. Nice to have you here. Stacy? Yeah, Stacy Casey Casey. A new voice in Babel Royale. I love it. Sorry. Stacy or Casey?

Casey. Like the Casey Chief. Ah, gotcha. Okay. Gotcha, Casey. Oh, like these four. My sadly losing team. Congratulations on your win last night. I haven't watched it. Thanks.

Yeah. So, spoilers. Yeah, some spoilers. Things didn't go well. Yeah, that was a bummer because I was rooting for your team as well. But today we're going to root for you because Brian's going to explain these rules and see if we can't win some prizes. Brian. That's right, Casey Van Desler, in the chat room.

I'm going to be giving Scott and Brian a topic. And they're going to go back and forth giving me answers that fit that topic. If one of them gives a wrong answer, repeated answer, or they take too long and come up with an answer, the wind goes to the other player. Casey, your job is to predict who's going to come out on top based on today's topic. Today you are playing for a bag of coffee from Kahawa Coffee.

Oh, Kahawa Coffee Roasters, good stuff, and a copy of Human Fall Flat. Oh, Matthew McConaughey game. Matt McConagher in Chicago. Yeah, that's a cool game. It's goofy and really streamable

and lots of physics and mayhem. It's real good. Yeah. So is it really like a flat human that has to, like, get into places and stuff? No, you're like a, you're a, you're a, you're a blob. You're just like a blob in this, it's a kind of a physics game. Yeah. And you have to do a lot of platforming and you fall a lot. Yeah.

If you fall, interesting, the thing about the fall, if you fall, you'll actually fall to a different randomly generated stage, if I remember. Yeah, yeah, you never die. You fall to another place you got to solve. And you're, you are, you're not a blob, you're a person, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, My name is Anakin. But your control of yourself is bad, and that's the fun of it. Yeah, you control the horizontal, but not the vertical. Yeah, it's a very fun game.

I like it. It's a good winning. Yeah. All right. So that's the Stoich Scroll. We need to storm the Buccaneers headquarters because they stole the game. Yes, very good. Oh, nice.

I heard that the Buccaneers actually had secret Buccaneers planted among the Kansas City Chiefs players, too. And look, it's okay to both. we talked about this in film sack off air. It's okay to both know that Tom Brady's the greatest player that games ever known and also think he's a giant dick. Okay. To hate his stupid, his stupid face. Right.

You can have two of those things in your head at once. It's fine. Congratulations. Congratulations, Tom Brady and your stupid face on being MVP of Super Bowl 55. All right. Anyway, here we go. Let's see. We've got a topic that you need.

This one comes to us courtesy of Andrew Bailey This is good And I had to look it up Because I could have sworn we'd done this one before But it was not on TMSBabler Royale So TMSBableroyal.com If you ever want to look at things that we've done in the past I didn't, what is that again?

TMS Babel Royale Send it to me later, okay Okay, I'll send it to you later Yes, it also has the current rankings on how you and Scott are doing Oh, no, I don't like this. Go ahead. These are, according to kiplinger.com, the 19 most popular breakfast cereals ranked by total sales sold from 2017 to 2018. We don't have anything newer than this. As of the year ending in 2018, the 19 most popular breakfast cereals ranked by total sales.

Okay. So these are, that's interesting, because I would have thought, Um, oh, man. I'm not going to lie. Um, if you had it went like 70, 80s cereal, when I was consuming most of my cereals, I would be like, I got this. You'd be a lot better at this. Yeah. Right.

But what year was to start year? 2017. 2017 to 2018. 2017. Okay. All right. I feel pretty good about this. I think I can do this.

I'll bet some of the ones that you remember from, from your childhood are probably still around. Yeah. Uh, all right. So, KC, knowing that that's the topic, who do you want to go first and who do you think is going to win? Let's go, Scott, to win Brian to go first. I like it. I like it. I like it. Okay.

All right. I'm down with... You go first, Brian. I know, so shut up. I'm going to go with the classic. Everybody has to... It's not because kids are clamoring or anyone is clamoring for these. But I think it's just that it's a...

compromised cereal. Everybody goes, well, I guess I could eat Frosted Flakes. I don't think anybody is going, you've got to get me the Frosted Flakes. It's just like a compromised cereal. Yeah, how about Frosted Flakes? It's different. Right. Do you get that little bunch of boxes, the little miniature

ones, the single serving ones? Exactly. Frosted Flakes is never the first one you go for. No, but we used to take those on campus. It's popular as well, and I think that's I think that's where it's going to be yet. With 412 million per year which is a growth of 4% year over year. Frosted Flakes

the number three most popular cereal in 2017. Okay, number three, you said. They're great. Sort of. Sort of. You're okay. Boy, you really do want to go back to your childhood, but some of those I'm not so sure today. Yeah.

You're like, King Vitamin. I know that's not going to be in the list. I'm going to say it. No one's eaten that. Yeah, I remember. Yeah, I remember King Vitamin. Remember that? No, I don't remember that at all. King Vitamin was the worst. It sounds horrible But it was telling a lot of it Let's go with

King Vitam Man Oh yeah sorry We had to find a like a compromise with my kids So for us it was Honeynut Cheerios was the compromise Oh there you go It's a honey of an O It's also your number two most popular cereal

With 4201 1.7 million in sales. So that was how you could get away with all right. It's got a little bit of sweetness, kids, but it's not, wow, like an overly sugary cereal. Now I can't imagine what the number one would be. That's, uh, ooh, because I would have thought those would have been the number ones. Now, here's a question.

Here's a question. Yeah. If you're going to ask if there are different varieties or all. Variations. Yeah. Nope. Ah. Nope. Nope. No. Okay. So Honeynut Cheerios covers Honey Nut Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios alone. Yes.

Okay. All right. Oh, okay. Oh, it's the, Brian, I know what you're asking. Make it sure. No, no, no. I think cover the whole Cheerios family. Yeah, yeah. So those multi-grains. But I'm going with, why would anybody get them? I'm going with Cheerios. The root. Number one on the board. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. It is the best-selling cereal. Why would do that? And the reason is because,

people buy it for their babies because it's also like motor skills you can like if you're going out to a restaurant you can just grab a handful of Cheerios put it on the tray in front of your toddler and they'll like let's watch them operate right all right exactly uh so that takes care of our top three 435 million uh sales on on your regular Cheerios that dollars introduced in 90. No, it's in frosted flake. It's each individual Cheerio.

Each individual Cheerio who sold 4 of 305. Wow. No, I just thought maybe it was boxes versus total dollar sales. Originally, they were called Cheeriotes. Oh, gross. Four years after they introduced them, they said,

yeah, this is a dumb name. Let's go to just Cheerios. Cheerios. That's stupid. Cheerio, chiro. Okay. Not as dumb as King Vitam, man. Yeah.

All right. Well, then let's just do regular, regular old, not frosted flakes, but the corn flakes. Corn flakes. Corn flakes. Yeah. Nobody's eating that mess. The flakes. Number 19.

Oh, my God. And we're doing top 20, right? Top 19. Oh, my God. Holy Moses. 110 million sales. So, one. fourth of the sales of

Cheerios, Corn Flakes. Although it's the oldest cereal in the list, 1894 is when W.K. Kellogg It was probably the only cereal in the game. You're not wrong. I think it's

ancient and not good. Now I'm worried because I like corn flakes because it's not sugary and you can add a little bit of sweetener. You can make your own sugar. Have to? Yeah. I like to pour a little honey on top of it. Yeah, it's good.

I like it. Wow. So that being number 19 worries me because the thing I was going to say, I was going to go with a utilitarian cereal this used. Yeah. It's not necessarily always eaten as a cereal, but it's practically a staple in this Rice Krispies. You practically have to have it for cooking. Rice Krispies. Well, you need to have it for cooking rice Krispy.

that's a right that's definitely thing uh yeah race crispy's number 13 on the list who 136 million in sales for the year uh first released in 1928 and called the talking cereal the talking cereal that was originally marketed as the talking cereal weird all right we probably still have fruit loops on there somewhere oh yeah probably do uh fruit loops number seven on the list, $269 million in sales. Came out, it's as old as we are, Scott. Came out in 1969. Were you born in 1969 and also, Brian Donaway?

No, I was born in 1972. He's my wife's age. Baby. Yeah. He's a little baby. He's a little baby. My wife's age, it's like we're married. Ew. Right. Yeah.

We can do it. There's two serials that I'm thinking about that I, that sit in, high in my mind. but I'm not sure about it. But I'm going to go with the not really sister brand of what Scott said, but kind of is, is the Apple Jacks. Yeah, he is for Apple.

Jay is for Jacks. And it always comes in the school, when the school sends home free breakfast crap that they've overbought is always in there. And for some reason, I think just from that standpoint, there's been a lot of Apple Jacks, just a whole bunch of them. introduced in 1965 Applejack sells 110 million every year

or that year anyway and making it the number 18. Holy shnikes. I'm surprised it's on there. I truly am surprised. Okay. I'm not. I see them all the time.

But once again, maybe nobody's eating them. Is anybody actually eating Apple Jacks? I eat Apple Jacks before I eat the Frosted Flakes if those are my only two choices. Apple Jacks always leave that weird film on the top. of your root your mouth. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird.

Yeah, they all do. All right. Let's go, let's go. Let's throw one out for the old people. My parents bought this for themselves. People. Or actually, maybe I should do the frosted. Oh, shit.

Let's do frosted mini-weets. Oh. Do frosted mini-weets. $249 million in sales making it number eight on the list. We actually have a box of these upstairs ourselves. Yeah. And we haven't eaten them. two years.

No, no, these are good. The problem with these is that even though they're many, you still only get like nine of them in a bowl. And you cannot let those sit. No. Otherwise they become... Do you put those of milk? I never put those in milk.

I always just grab a handful and just go, okay. Here we go. Yeah, you got to put them in milk. It's also the worst, it feels like the worst waste cereal because at the bottom of the box, There's always like half a cup of just, just wheat. That's my favorite part. Sugary wheat.

It's like a rat's nesting material or something. Just a pile of like that. I do pour the very bottom into milk. There's like this whole just mush. Yeah, I love the mush part. That's my favorite part. So it's like cold oatmeal. That's awesome.

That sounds really good. That's horrible. Holy Moses. I don't even know if it's in the top list, but I'm going to go with because I can't stop singing it for some reason maybe everybody else has it in their head too but cinnamon toast crunch I can't if it's in my head I can't stop

well you can get it out of your head and onto this piece of paper because it is the fifth most popular cereal yeah 344 million in sales so that that stupid ear wig of a earworm of a thing works huh I don't see the year in my list here that it was introduced but it was in, I want to say it was the 80s. I mean, it was when we were, it was

prime cereal buying time for our families. Yeah, we bought that stuff. That was for the big crackdown. Right, on, oh my God, that stuff would just ratch your teeth. It's healthy, it's fortified with vitamins. Part of this nutritious breakfast was like a whole table full of shit.

How about, if you just drink the milk, that's where all the nutrition is coming from. There you go. That's another word thing that made me cynical about advertising. They would tell me that Captain Crunch, which I'm going to say next, by the way, is part of a nutritious breakfast, and then they'd show like a giant breakfast with toast and bacon and eggs and orange juice and everything else. Oh, yeah.

Really? That's, that's, this is part of that you're saying? Or, yeah, annoyed me. Anyway, I got you a die. Cap and Crunch. I'm going to need you to be more specific. No, just the basic Captain Crunch. Not the very, no variations here.

Okay. Just a good old fashion. Hey, there's the captain. So not all bear. Right. So none of the, not the variations? Oh, no, no, no. Be careful. You think original cells better than any of their other variations? Before you 100% lock that in, I'm asking you?

Maybe the Crunchberry one is pretty popular. You know, I think of the Crunchberry one is the default one. Oh, no, peanut butter, peanut butter, peanut butter. Peanut butter, peanut butter, peanut butter. That's a weird one. go with but all right I'll allow it is that not it I really want to I want to keep this thing going

yeah but no no peanut butter crunch and no regular cap and crunches crunches crunches crunch berries is number 17 that's what I consider to be the original the crunchberry ones I didn't know that the plain one was the original I thought they'd split it up

later how is that possible Crunchberry was a sequel wasn't the original at all It was, but sometimes the sequel is better than the original. How about the Reese's? What about the Reese's puffs? No, Reese's puffs are deadly and horrible. You should never use his stuff.

Rees' puffs number 15. Really? Oh, yes. How is that in the top? Yep. Nobody buys those. Yeah, so, yep, sorry. I really wanted to give it to you, but you were so adamant about not any of the variations.

All right, let me ask you this. Otherwise, I really would have said, could you be more specific? Is Honeybunch of Oats on there? It is Honeybunches of Oats is number four. I would assume Special K and Mikey life crap cereal and check cereal maybe kind of in there too. Special K number 12, life number nine. No checks at all in this list. Yeah.

Your other ones are Raisin brand crunch. Two scoops. Nobody buys two scoops. Now, Raisin brand crunch is 16. Regular old raisin brand is not. number 11. Special K. Redberries is number 14. Special K. No Redberries is number 12. Fruity Pebbles, which is really just... Fruity Pebbles. Which is really just cereal that's made up of what's left over when you three-hole punch a bunch of colored paper.

Yeah, it's just died. All those things even is still illegal. It's just dyed packing material. It's horrible. Yeah, it's horrible. They're delicious. I think that rounds out. Honeybunches votes. Lucky Charms. Oh, Lucky Charms. Lucky Charms. Damn it.

Oh, Lucky Charms is on there? No tricks. No tricks. No tricks. That's not good stuff. I've had it. It's not good stuff. It's not favorites.

I mean, tricks, the tricks was such a big deal. Oh, and no corn pops. I thought maybe that'd be on there. Yeah, no corn pops either. You think it were honeycomb? Both of those seem like they were big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. God, I really just walked right in to that one, didn't that?

You did. Honeycomb was big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not small. No, no, no. I've got it. I've been working all night, and I've got the jingle for honeycomb.

Oh, man. Honeycomb's big, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not small. A guy wakes up. He's got honeycomb stuck to his face. He's like, I got it. Finally has the link, a thing. A little bit of Coke under his nose.

No, I'm sorry. That's later on when they'd use that weird little gremlin-looking thing. They had the critters. That critter thing. Oh, yeah, the critter thing. I forgot about that. Oh, God. That was weird, right?

a weird choice. Right. Let's add out to the honeycomb hideout with the weird grimlin looking thing. Yeah. That's a bad idea. Don't do it. Well,

this means that I've done terribly today. And I have... I've made it so Casey can't win because I'd like Casey to win. Except for being adamant about giving me the wrong answer. Yeah. I don't know what I was thinking. I was sure peanut butter was the popular one. I don't know why.

No, it is the best flavor, but it's not the popular one. Oh, yeah, no weedies either. That's another one that's surprising. Oh, no weedies. That's the breakfast of champions. How many champions do we have any more? People eating cereal are not going to be. No.

Grape nuts, not on the list, which is fine because that stuff should not be consumed. Yeah, those are rocks. Those are just rocks. That is like the sand you get in the bad clam chowder. I think it's used aquarium gravel. Anyway, hey, Casey, are you all right? I mean, I know you've lost twice in 24 hours. How's that feel?

You all right? Well, I mean, this is the way. This is the way. Well, best of luck, because you've got a hell of a quarterback and you'll probably win next year. I'm not too worried about you. But we look forward to trying to play with you again. Brian Dunnaway.

No problem finding the one with the crotch. Whichever one has the crotch. Yeah, your dog will find it, guaranteed. That's the one that would concern me the most. All right. Well, we've done it. It's now time for this. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. In the news this morning, good morning. Hey, it's time for the news. Brought to you by. Brought you by a new episode of Soundography. Me and Hammond listened to the entire library of XTC, one of my favorite bands. Certainly one of my favorites from the late 70s, early 80s. Love those guys in their.

really, really clever lyrics. Find out what we think and find out what Hammond thinks after only knowing the song, Dear God, before this week. Oh. Dear God, hope you had a summer in. Then we go to the thing in. That one, right? Yeah, that's the one, exactly.

I might only know that song from them. You probably know Senses working overtime, making plans for Nigel, Peter Pumpkinhead. You might not know them by title, but you know them if you heard the song. Peter Pumpkinhead, I know. That one I do know. Okay. But now I know two songs by XTC. And I see what they did there with the XTC.

It's like ecstasy. XTC, ecstasy, right? In excess to see. It's like when I realized trading places was about trading places and places of trading. Or when I learned that the split ends, the way they spelled it, ENZ meant New Zealand, which is where they were from. Oh, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool. Do they do the haka in their music?

The haka? They don't do the haka. Oh, they should do the haka. Actually, I think they might have a song that has some haka, some Maori. All New Zealanders should be forced to do the haka. Should they? Okay. Suzanne Summers back in the news after all these years.

Oh, good. Yeah, Threes Company's Suzanne Summers is back. She calmly confronted a near naked home intruder while streaming. Did she offer them a thigh master? Just stick it between his legs and push him out the door. That's right, exactly. Actress, author, and spokesmodel, Suzanne Semmers gently confronted a naked home intruder man who appeared while she was streaming a makeup tutorial

from her Palm Springs, California home. I'm just trying to catch Jack Tripper in the act. Oh, Chrissy! Was she there when he was there? It was Farley. Mr. Farley and Mr. Farley? I don't think they overlapped. I think that Don Nutz came in after the Suzanne Summers' Eviction.

Yeah, her eviction. Her eviction. Yeah, after the, what were they called? The Crumps or, no, what were the Ropers? The Ropers. Yeah. And wasn't there a Roper's spinoff that lasted like four seconds? No, the spinoff of the Ropers?

No, the Ropers as a show. Oh, yeah, the Roper's as a show was a spinoff for at least a season, maybe even two. I'm sorry, I thought you meant that there was a, a spinoff of the Ropers. Oh, hell no. Like, Ropers spun off of Three's Company and then something spun off of that. No, the Ropers was, if I remember correctly, first season was actually pretty watchable. 5.9 out of 10. But then there was also Three's a crowd, so there was another spinoff of Three's Company after Jack got married and opened a restaurant.

Jeffrey Tambor was in this thing Wow And the Ropers Yeah he was the The pompous neighbor Oh and threes a crowd Hey now So Three's a crowd is what

Him and his parents or something No it's her parents Her dad was Robert Mandan from soap Oh So it was Jack Tripper And his wife and her parents Oh my gosh Let's see

Oh Jessica Walter was in that That's great So the other, that's hilarious. So George Bluth is over on the one, the ropers, and Jessica Walter, aka, what's her name, Bluth? Yeah. Oh, that's crazy. It's on the other one. Two separate spinoffs of three's company.

That's hilarious. And Peter Cullen was in that episode, The Voice of Optimus Prime. Well, we've done it all now. Anyway. Pop Center Clan says, weren't they all derivatives of all in the family? No, there's a whole bunch of other spinoffs of all of them of all in the family. Yeah, you got Jefferson's. You had, Archie Bunker's Place.

Oh, right, he had a bar. Yeah, after, after Edith passed away. In the heat of the night. No, that was a separate thing. That was a different thing. Was there another, was it just those two? Yeah, but yeah. I know Mary Tyler Moore had a bunch as well.

Yeah, she spun off a ton. Lou Grand and, oh, Mod came from, that's right, mod came from um all in the family mod did phyllis phyllis came from yeah no mod's not from that is it mod's not from that i thought mod was from all in the family but rhoda came from um rhoda was mary tyler moore mod i thought mod was something else maybe you're right i thought it was before all that oh good times tea glass says good times was another spin off of uh it was yeah the first spinoff of all in the family was Mod

dang that thing had a lot of spinoffs holy cow yeah that's crazy mod good times the jefferson's

checking in which was a spinoff of the jefferson's I didn't know that was the thing Archie Bunker's place Gloria

don't listen to him and and one final one called 704 Hauser which was the bunker's house with a new family

the cumberbatches oh I wish this is great So it's the Cumberbatches living in the old Archie Bunker House. I had no idea. So we can all agree, though, that the Jeffersons was the successful spinoff, right? From all that? Yeah.

I think Maude was successful as well. But of all of those, the Jeffersons was easily the most successful, 11 seasons for the Jeffersons. So those were like our parents' spinoffs. For me and you, it would have been Cheers, and then Frasier. Frazier, yeah. The Tortellies, which didn't work. Oh, I forgot about the tortellies, yeah, right? This seems like I have a lot.

Is there another spinoff of Cheers? Well, you never watched the, uh, the, uh, the hazard county show. What's wrong with me? Oh, yeah, I know, uh, Dukes of Hazard. You never watched Dukes of Hazard. Wasn't there a Hazard County show with a couple of Duke boys? They had a, they had a spinoff called Enis, which was just about that stupid sheriff, or deputy sheriff, Enis.

Yeah, no, that sadly, I saw that. and wasn't there was a sheriff lobo wasn't that a spinoff of no that wasn't related to dukes no but it sounds like it should be totally was was sheriff lobo its own thing Lobo I'm looking right now

is it the misadventures of sheriff lobo yeah probably yeah Lobo was BJ and the bear that's right it was a spin off of BJ and the bear because people are clamoring for more Sheriff Lobo I mean, I know I am.

I can't wait for more. Don't even get me started on 10 speed in the man or whatever it was called. Happy Days, was Happy Days the most spinoffs? That'd be an interesting stat to find. I would guess probably. Laverne and Shirley, Joni loves Chachi, Mark and Mindy. Yeah.

What else? Is that it? Maybe just those three. So I think maybe it is all in the family is probably the, or Mary Tyler Moore. Charles in charge was not a spinoff from anything. Was it? No, no. Good.

That thing spun off out of the universe and smacked us right in the head. Yeah, Joey and Friends, but that was the only attempt. They tried no other spinoffs from Friends. So, I don't know. That's fascinating to me. Anyway. I know. I want Marcel, the continuing adventures of Marcel the Monkey and his buddy Gunther.

I'd be in. I'd be in. Didn't Fonzie have a show as a teacher? That rings a bell. Crimson Neon. Why does that ring a bell? Hold on. Fonzie spin-off.

No. Really? He was a teacher. Yeah, it was called Fonzie. Really? There was a, okay, and he was a teacher? Hold on. Where is this?

Okay. Oh, I can't find it. Yeah, Fonzie. No, no, no. That's just the character. I can't find it. There's a, oh, here's a list. All right, we're going to find out

Oh, good, okay, cool These are list of television spinoffs Oh, I don't want to know what the series I'm going to know, okay, broken air Oh, here we go, so yeah, all in the family All that had Cablam, Keenan and Kel, the Amanda show,

the Nick Cannon show, Zoe 101, and just Jordan. That's a lot. If you can call that, the Archie show, so I mean all the Riverdale stuff, you can't really count that. Yeah, American Idol, I don't count that.

now we can't really count reality shows archie show one you're right is that's huge um okay well love american style was another one too right dude alf had three spin-offs really yeah alf the animated series made of 78 to 89 alf tales 88 to 89 and alf's hit talk show 2004 which i don't remember that anyway all right well um okay so love american style was the one that spun off happy days so even before so oh right

I knew this I knew this if you count all the sub happy days spinoffs love American style as all

coming from love American style yeah I saw that with Tom and forgot that that we dug all into that and I totally spaced it where's

I'm trying to find oh Mary Tyler Moore only had Rhoda Phyllis and Lou Grant I thought there was I thought there were more I guess not

you know the Flintstone had more spin-offs. MASH had After Mash, Walter, and Trapper John M.D. Flintstone's on a show called Cave Kids. Oh, God. Yeah. Well, there was another one. There was something else with Pebbles and Bam-Bam, but it wasn't called Cave Kids.

It was another... That was called The Pebbles and Bam-Bam Show, 71 to 72. There we go. There's Fred Flintstone and Friends, the new Fred and Barney show, the Flintstone's Comedy Show, as opposed to whatever the hell it was before. The Flintstone Funnies, the Flintstone Kids, Cave Kids, and then yabba-dabba dinosaurs this year. So sign up.

Get in there. Get in now. Do you remember Party of Five having a spinoff called Time of Your Life? No. No. Was that just Horse Whisper? Was that just Jennifer Love Hewitt? Is that what that is?

I think so, yeah. I don't know. I love this one that says the late night with David Letterman had three spinoffs. Late night with Conan O'Brien, late night with Jimmy Fallon. and late night with Seth Myers. Those wasn't count. Those are just the same show. I know.

All right. Well, this is dumb. Back to the point. The whole point was 74-year-old Summers was on Facebook and some naked guy walked in and this is what she said. She paused during the recording

and told her nearby husband, Alan, that she heard strange noises off camera. He says, it's just a frog. Summers turned to her left and after hearing more noise and viewed the intruder who, remained off camera during their conversation. The intruder was described as near naked.

Summers was calm and spoke gently to the intruder who said he was terrified of something. I'm not even sure, he says, when there are ghosts following me, obviously, a dude's a little disturbed. The intruder identified himself as Aaron Carpenter and asked Summers if she had heard of him. He claimed to have been led to Summers home by a friend that prompted the intruder to claim he was not a scary person whatsoever. She told him he seemed like a nice person. but needed to leave. He claimed to have brought the couple a gift, but then quickly declined.

Carpenter then said, God bless you before leaving the property. An unflustered Summers then continued with her makeup video. Yeah. So they have a video on this article. You don't see the nearly naked guy. You just see her looking off camera at this guy. But, and she's super calm.

Like, here's a nearly naked guy. And she's like, oh, who are you? why, this is our house. I think she's seeing some stuff, man, in her life. She's been there, man. She's exactly. But I also love the fact that, that Suzanne Summers basically has a, has QVC in her spare bedroom.

Yeah. She's just selling her makeup. Yeah, that's basically it. Does she actually see the guy? So he's off camera. You can't see him. He's off camera, but, um. Look, and she's being very nice.

to him. She's being very nice. She could have thrown a thymaster at him or something. Don't come and knock on our door. We don't want us to. We're not waiting for you. We're going to call the cops if you don't leave to his company to. We're going to leave now, Andy, Andy.

All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we will spend. some good time with our good friends. That'll start with Bill Duran and after that, Mr. Steven Schleiker. Before that, though, we need a song break and Brian has Brung one. Yes, this one I am so excited about because last week, or a couple of weeks ago, I tweeted about a brand new single by a band called Otis, O-H-T-I-S.

And I listened to the track and I said, oh my God, this is so good, but it's a little F-bombie. No, correction. It's a lot F-BOMmy. And so I tweeted and said, well, I tweeted it and said, well, you won't be hearing this one on the morning stream, but I want you to check out this video, and it's really, really good. It's their new song, Shotsie. They replied back and said, we've got, we've got a radio edit of the song. Would you like it for TMS?

I'm like, yes. So it's a lot less F-Bommy. And if you want to hear the F-Bommy version, just look for Otis, Shotsie. Oh, H-T-I-S is the band, Shotsy. S-C-H-H-A-T-Z-E. It's not a, it's an alternative to alternative dice game. It means my wealth, like, you'll hear in this song. Anyway, here is Otis and the song Shotsie from their brand new release.

What's it called? This F-N-Album. Oh, Curve of Earth is their, no, that was their 2019 album. Anyway, it's really, really good. Enjoy this. Here is, here is Otis and the song, Shot-E. see. I hope I do it with ease.

We bring you this special radio television broadcast in order to give you the very latest information on an amazing phenomenon. If you receive an angry message, you've been flamed. This is Scott Fletcher, and I approve this podcast. This is the morning stream. Thank goodness somebody approves it. Thank you, Scott Fletcher.

for approving it. All right. We're going to dive right in. Get right to the guests. Get right to it. Get right to it. Don't you know. Funchprops.com coming up first.

Of course, Bill Duran. You know him. You love him. I'm going to find out what he's doing today. Yeah, we do love him. Both of those things. Pretty great. If I can find his Delio, we're good to go.

Here it is. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Bill Duran joining us from his studios somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Bill, welcome. How are you? Good morning. Doing great. At a very relaxing weekend. That's good. Do you care, do you partake in the football? Do you care about all that at all? No. Instead, I was playing the new Hitman game. Oh, that game's great. Holy crap. Yeah. Hitman 3, baby. I'll tell you what. Here's what you do. You make sure you either already have them. Well, hopefully you already have them, but if not, you get them. You get all three of these Hitman games in the trilogy. Three let you basically play all of them from. from that client and it's amazing there's so much content there it'll make your head spin

yeah i played i played all three starting a couple weeks ago it's awesome it's so good it's so good it's the goofiest most fun freaking i can't wait to see what they do with a bond game which i guess they're working on next so oh yeah yeah that's so ready for it too it'll be great anyway uh joining us talking making things today uh what what's going on in the studio this week this week brittany and I, we have a new video out over on our YouTube channel. We made something from, not Hitman, but another one of our very favorite games.

We made something from the game Outer Wilds, not Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds. Yeah, two games came out that year. One was Wild, one was Worlds. They're both excellent games, but they are nothing like each other. No, not even a little bit. So Outer Wilds,

here's my pitch. I want to get more people playing that game because it was one of my favorite games of all time. It's basically like a mystery puzzle game in space. You got to fly a little spaceship around, which is pretty fun. And challenging. Hello. I recommend if you want to, if that sounds interesting to you, go into it completely blind.

Don't look anything up and don't ask for help. It's a kind of game that really benefits from discovering everything yourself. If you do have trouble with the game, there's a great Outer Wild subreddit where you can go ask for a nudge. and people will gently point you in the right direction without spoiling anything, which is really great, fantastic community around that game. Yeah, yeah, it's a, it's, it was a critical, a gigantic critical success the year this thing happened. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And I think it deserves people to play, or more people to play it because I think a lot of people missed it the first time. Yeah, yeah, I think so too. Without giving too much away, it plays around with like time in a way that, That, oh, I don't. You know what, Brian, you'd love it because it's like lost the video game, kind of. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. But you've got to suss things out, and there's this repeating, it's also got a groundhog day kind of thing going on. Oh, really? Oh, I like that. I like the sound of that. It's really cool. It's like almost like mist in space. There you go.

Okay. So outer wilds. Wiles. Yes. Wiles. Wiles. Wilds. I mean, do I bother buying v.

video games until I get a PS5. I guess any game I get I can play on the PS5 even if it's a PS4. I don't know if that's true. I think this one is PC only. I can't even play it on the PS4. It might be on consoles. I don't know, but you got to every, so PS4 is a little fishy with that stuff. You have to, or PS5, you have to find out which games will move forward and which ones won't.

I don't know if that one will. Yeah, I'm only seeing it on Steam. So that, but that's fine. I can play Steam games on my computer. You can play Steam games on your computer. Anyway, sorry, Bill. Where are we? It looks like it's on PS4 as well, so we're good.

Oh, all right. So maybe you're good. Maybe. Anyway, great game. I recommend everyone plays it. We made a mask from the game. Now, the mask is from an ancient alien civilization called the No-Mai that you will discover more about as you blunder around their solar system.

Are they introduced by George DeK? No, that'd be pretty good though. Because I can not say, oh, hello, here's the no, my. No, that'd be good, though. Insert cricket sounds here. Yeah. Anyway, they're an alien race. That's why there's three eye holes, because they have more than two eyes.

And it's a very ornate and complicated mask. It's very different than anything that we've made before. It might be have, it maybe has a little bit of, of an Egyptian thing going on. So it's sci-fi, but it's ornate and not tech-looking, if that makes sense. Anyway, super cool-looking mask. We decided to make it. Brittany did the lion's share of the work on this one, and especially all of the pattern-making.

So she got her hands on the 3D model from the game. Frequently, though, 3D models from video games need an awful lot of work before they can get turned into a physical object. There are a lot of rules of physics that video game modelers don't need to follow in their digital world. So Britt did all that figuring out, took the 3D model and essentially flattened it using a program called Peppa Quora designer, which we use for flattening 3D models for making them into real-world objects. And then that was modified so that we could make the whole thing out of phone. So not only did Britt make this whole pattern, but it's up on our website for free if anyone else wants to give it a shot.

This is really cool. Yeah, I'm looking at the photos on your side of this. You really did choose one of the more complex objects in that game, but it's also the most iconic thing in that game. It is pretty cool. I also could have made the spaceship. There's a tiny version of the spaceship. There's the radio that you use. There's a bunch of stuff to make.

But the mask is so cool. It's hanging up on our wall in our living room right now. I'm looking at it, and it just looks amazing up there. Oh, that's awesome. so of course we made the whole thing out of EVA foam as we are want to do and I did write three books about that so it makes sense we cut it was cut out of a lot of different layers flat layers of foam and a lot of complex curves here it's a very geometric form which lends itself very well to using flat sheets of any material really but it worked really well with the foam yeah the game it's two in the game as well like the game's art style it's I wouldn't call it

Locky or anything, but it has this like, I don't know, geometric quality to almost all the models, the characters, the world, the environments are all very much that way. It's a really cool look. And it's, I didn't think about how that would actually help from a, like, let's make the mask standpoint, because you don't usually think about that, but, you know, in this case, geometric is your friend, I suppose. I love geometric shapes. That's so my language. I can do organic stuff, but it's a bit of struggle. Yeah.

So, uh, so anyway, uh, we glued a whole bunch of, a lot of little pieces of foam together to make that mask. And then the paint job was very clean. Again,

different. We usually weather stuff. Like if you compare this to the nuke launcher I made from fallout. That thing is all rust. Very different. This thing we had to be deliberate with, uh, way we applied all our paint.

So we, we use our airbrush to, um, paint the, sort of base colors. We did a lot of masking, like a ton of masking to be able to airbrush on like our second layer of color. And then all the little details and the gold, that was all hand painted. Just tiny little brushes and a lot of concentration. And Brittany and I went in and painted all the gold on there. It looks wonderful. Yeah, I'm looking right now before you even have color on there. Like you've got the base code of like a, I think it's a primer. So you can just see the little sort of. circle, the little etched in designs on the outer ring pieces. It looks so cool, just even that before there's any other paint applied to it. Yeah, that's always a really fun step whenever you're building anything,

especially if you have a bunch of different pieces you put together that are like different colors and stuff. Once you hit it with that layer of primer and everything's the same color, it's all sort of unified, that's when you stop for a moment and look at it and you're like, wow, I sure. made a thing. Look at that. Exactly. That looks so cool. Oh, it's beautiful. Look at this thing. I'm seeing the final bits here and it's

I want that on my wall. Too bad. It's on my wall. Speaking of which, so over here I have this old one of my favorite things ever in prize possession of mine a mass effect gun, Shepard's pistol pistol from all those years ago and you made a resin gun for me.

And you heard, I guess you heard about this remastered trilogy thing coming. Does that excite you? do you want to make stuff again? Yeah. They're selling a helmet too. I think it's $150. It looks pretty good. The N7 rebreather. So that's just the thing you can buy now, which is great.

Or pre-order, I think. I'm not sure if it's quite out of it. I'm pretty excited because they're making one play more like two. Yep. And look better. And then three pretty much played like two. But just having them kind of unify those three games, I think I'm ready to get back in Mass Effect, even though it's old.

I just played Skyrim again, so I'm really like I'm ready to play Mass Effect again. Oh, man. I don't even want to know what your slash played is in Skyrim. I'm sure it's a mess, right? Well, between the two, I checked yesterday, between the two versions I have on my Steam library, because I have the normal one and the special edition, it's like 250 hours. But I played most of that on the PS3, actually, and I have no idea how much time I expect on that. Oh, yeah.

So it's 250 plus that. Probably another 300. Probably. Yeah, it's a lot of time in that game. Rookie number says to Talia in the chat. Yeah, yeah, I understand. Well, all right, this thing looks awesome. The video's up in full so you can go watch the entire process

and check it out at punchprops.com and, of course, the YouTube channel. Bonus time. Bill always brings a little bonus something for us. What is it this one? Yes. This is a video from, Noclip. Danny O'Dwyer runs a channel called NoClip

that is video game documentaries. And this particular one is about the simulations of Hitman levels. And how they, he interviewed the folks at I-O-I about Hitman and put together a whole documentary about different parts of the game. And since I've been playing a lot of Hitman now, we've been watching a lot of Hitman videos too.

Yeah. And Noclip is great. If you're not sub to Noclip, you need to be. It's very, very, very cool. and they do amazing work and I keep hearing I need to watch this one they did for Hades

Yes I just saw We watched the last one But they have a whole series They followed while they were developing Hades Through most of the process Yeah

I believe when they started developing that game They brought him into documented So they have a whole bunch of things Following that whole development Yeah Well if you're And also just another shout out to I.O. Interactive and their fantastic series of Hitman games. They're so good.

They're so good. I watch the clip on screen. I'm like, I shouldn't work today. I should just play more Hitman. I know what I might do later if I ever get home today. Anyway, well done, Bill. This is fantastic as always. More content over there at Punish Props.com. Have a fantastic week, and we'll see you next time. Take it easy. Bye. Thanks, Bill. Doesn't matter how excited I exit him. He's still Take it easy. Bye. Cracked me up. All right.

He's great. Yeah. I want everything he makes. I know. He's so incredibly talented. He used to send a lot more of that stuff out to his pals. But these days, you know, it's a little harder to squeeze it out of him. He's got a little more wall space in the studio.

He just got a cover. Yeah. Which is understandable. Welcome to the show, Steven Schlecker, all the way from Major Spoilers. com and Hayes, Kansas. Hello, Stephen. Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. Hi.

Hello. Hey. Yes. I know there's a big question hanging in the air. May as well come clean. Yeah. I watched it all. I watched all of it.

No, I'm caught up. Oh, no, I mean, I got all the Wanda vision business. It's all in me. Oh, that's that old thing. That's no January. Man, I see. Yeah, yeah. We've done to do things.

Yeah. What did Bruce Willis say in the diehard movie? Welcome to the party, pal. Yeah, welcome to the party pal. Exactly. With a big broken window. and the guy down there with the donuts. So anyway, yeah, we, Kim and I sat out and binged one through five, episodes one through five on Friday.

So the day five came out, I guess that night. And we loved it. I love it. It's great. It's just weird enough and just MCU-y enough. And especially episode five is definitely opening some windows. And you're like, okay, and I see where we're going now. I really like it, like a whole lot.

And I would recommend people who maybe were like, if you're confused or you're not sure what you're getting into, just let it wash over you. Just get in there and go. And for Fargo fans, fellow Fargo fans, season three had an actor in it that's in the bewitched dinner scene. The guy who chokes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's on Fargo. He's very good. there are moments in that thing that are really cool and there are other moments where you realize

that oh my gosh Paul Bettney if he lived in the 60s and 50s could have been on a sitcom and done just fine easily oh sure sure sure that's weird to me and she her also they both do but there's something I didn't expect about Paul Bettney in this and he's blowing my mind across the board I think he's fantastic I think she's fantastic uh It's weird. The brilliance of the opening music each time, the opening show introductions each time is fantastic. So well done. Yeah.

That stuff's great. Yeah. And this last week, Brian and I were talking via the Twits over the weekend. And man, I just so much family ties, energy just pouring off. Growing pain. The most recent episode was just so great. And then, you know, as we've talked, a little bit of spoiler warning, for those of you who haven't seen it, if you're going to try to bring a Fox property into the MCU proper,

I mean, this is kind of a way to do it. Yeah, this is one way to do it. That blew my mind because I am Kim, couldn't figure out why I was freaking out. And I did. Same with Tina.

I had to, I paused. Yeah, I did too. I had to re-explain it. And said, okay, so let me explain why this is so great and why I'm, I'm laughing joyfully here at this.

And I said, do you know who that is, right? She goes, well, I remember him from one of the American Horror Story shows. Yes, that's the team as well. And I said, well, that he is.

You're right. But do you remember him from a movie? And do you remember what that movie was? And we just went through these like step by steps. And I said, now you got to understand in Age of Ultron. That wasn't him. In fact, back then, companies didn't know each other. And those were two separate dudes.

Why? Because they had the rights to call him a mutant over here and not over here. And it's a weird thing. And I still, I don't even know what the ramifications of this is. I'm hoping that it's as much as we're expecting that this is their way of doing some multiverse stuff that Dr. Strange then has to clean up. Yeah. And they did kind of, they did kind of mention it. And again, a little bit of spoiler, where she can't just create matter from nothing, right?

The Monica Rambo's costume, her bulletproof uniform had been turned into that 70s costume. Yeah. And so, you know, maybe she has to punch a hole in another universe. to pull things through. Yeah. Maybe all those rumors about Chris Evans coming back and everyone's like, oh, Captain America's coming back. Oh, no.

Maybe he's coming back as the human torch. Yeah. Maybe. Wow, wouldn't that be a freaking rip of the pants? Exactly. Oh, my gosh. That would be crazy. But yeah, I loved it.

And I love where it's going. And they know how to do this stuff so well. And the other thing is, once again, I'm just sort of standing back and going, imagine a world come to me in like the mid-90s and tell me this and I'd say you're a liar and I'd slap you but if you came to me and said you're a damn dirty liar they'd say guess what one day you're going to give a crap about scarlet witch and the vision like those were the most B tier not for people not I understand they have their fans okay but as comic book readers and as me anyway as a kid I wasn't seeking out the vision I wasn't seeking out Scarlet Witch they were side players they had no real connection to anything for me and once again, the MCU has figured out a way to take a B-tier character or set of characters. And they were already cool in the movies. But just to continue on like this is so rad. And the lady that plays their neighbor, I love her.

I forget her name. Yes. She's great. She's great. Who is she in the comics, Brian? She's a, someone who's a person. Well, we're thinking that she's, uh, Agatha Harkness. Yeah, yeah.

That's what we're thinking. Yes. Oh, is that the deal? Okay. Yes. Her name is Agnes in this TV show. but in the comics Agatha Harkness and this is all speculation in theory

there's nothing out there so it's not a spoiler to say that because it's like I said it's all speculation but they're expecting that she's Agatha Harkness who's like a a witch on the higher level of the Scarlet Witch and able to do a lot more stuff

well in this show she's so like a bit of a goofball because of the settings and everything so you can see her comedic side and her kind of goofy face side and everything thing, but she blew my mind, and I know this much is true as, uh, what's his, uh, Dessa, his ex-wife. She was amazing in that. She's great. Like gut-wrenchingly good in that. And that, that's another crossover because he's the Hulk. Anyway, right. I love it. Uh, so I know you didn't watch the first half of the Super Bowl, Scott. Uh, and I don't know if it played in the

second half, because that's where I exited was after the halftime show. Um, were you guys a little freaked out by, uh, the Elon Musk inspiration for commercial? I didn't see it. What happened? I don't think I saw that either. So Inspiration 4, apparently, is they want to get four regular people, not space people, to go up into space on this first mission. One of them's already been spoken for because he's a big investor in the thing, and then they're looking for someone to represent hope and all these other things.

But if you look at the logo that they are using for inspiration for, holy crap, it's straight up the Fantastic Four symbol. And my response is, if you're going up in that thing, you're coming back as a rock monster. No kidding. Oh, look at that. Wait, where is this? I can't find the logo. I found the Tesla logo. I'll give you a logo.

I'll put one in our thing here. Does Elon Musk make all his money from the cars now? Is that where all of it's coming from? And Bitcoin and Dogecoin, if you follow that. So is that how he got to be richest man in the world all of a sudden, like, in a weekend? It's just because he has a bunch of digital coin. What I'm saying is... I mean, he's a big supporter of cryptocurrency.

But with this, like, you know, with this GameStop thing, and everything else kind of culminating a little bit, you're starting to remind yourself or having the veneer pull away, we're like, it's a lot of ones and zeros and a lot of people don't actually have any of the money that we're talking about. You know what I mean?

Like, it's not really money. I mean, is it? I mean, it is. I mean, what is money, right? I mean, there was a whole guy, I don't know if he still does it or not, but there was an artist who would paint, you know, paint things, and then he would go and use them as barter.

And people would, you know, to have to talk them into it, but eventually they'd say, yeah, we will use this as $5. Or he'll actually paint money and say, I know this is counterfeit, but it's a work of art. Would you accept this as the currency that it's printed on? So what is money? Yeah. I mean, we live in a ones and zeros.

I mean, when was the last time you actually physically got a paycheck in the mail and went to the bank and deposited it? I very rarely do that. Although it's funny, for Brian, when I do check stuff every month, I literally do a physically deposit. Yeah, I do that too. But for the most of us, if we're working for bigger companies, you know, we get that direct deposit thing. It's not even an option. It's a requirement. Yeah, but even then, those are just, it's still just ones and zeros.

Yeah, it's just ones and zeros. Like at some point or another, every once in my life, I'll just realize it'll just dawn on me. Oh, this is just a thing we've all agreed on. This isn't real. Yeah, it's not based on the U.S. monetary system is not based on the gold standard anymore. So when Mnuchin a couple of years ago was just like, oh, we're not worried, we can just print more money. He's literally being correct. We can just print more money and not have to worry about runaway and fly.

inflation. It's so weird, dude. It's weird. We live in weird times, is what I'm saying. We're weird. We're weird. Elon Musk. You're sitting on a pile of smoke. All right. Anyway, he's going to send some people up into space. So let me see this logo. I haven't found it yet. Looking for a scientist, his wife, her brother, who's also a pilot and best friend. Yeah. It'll all be fine, I'm sure. And then depending on how you like your origin stories, a really vain guy who's Kay getting his face all beat up. Yeah. Yeah. Why can't I find this logo. I can't find it anywhere. I just put it in our in our discord. Oh, did you? Okay. Oh, there it is. Oh, yeah. Geez. Yeah. All right. Well, I want to be the rock monster. Inspiration. Inspirate to foreign. Yeah, it's like the last fantastic four movie where they're just put the four right in the name. It's like he's not even hiding it anymore. You know, Elon Musk is Dr. Doom. He's got some Musk bots running around. Yep. Yep. Right. What are these things at the, oh, those are two little space people. I thought they were two little tentacle head eyeballs on each side. Oh, that'd be great.

Like a little four-eyed frog monster at the very bottom would be great. I didn't see that as people right away. And why is the St. Jude's Hospital logo above the-the-beast-beats? So what they're doing is for that fourth slot. They're trying to raise money. So you can go and you can donate $10 to the St. Jude Charity Network or whatever it is through this inspiration for campaign. And they're just going to randomly pick from somebody who donated to this, not necessarily

the person who donates the most. And then so that's why St. Jude's is involved. in it. All right. Well, good luck to them. Nothing ever bad had bad happened when we sent those people up to space. It's fine. It'll all be good. Hey, Stephen, we got to talk about some other stuff here. Oh, do we? Okay. Well, okay. So I've been reading, we all want to DC Comics and the future state thing. But before we do, I've been reading Rebirth, Batman Rebirth. Yeah. Yeah. And I guess is that, it's over, right? That was a run. So the Batman titles and the Superman titles, because their numberings are so high

and because during this time they were getting so close to the 1,000 issues, they kind of just kept the continuity from Batman and Superman just kind of going. Okay. So it's not necessarily a reboot, although there have been some

reworkings of certain bits here and there, but yeah, there really hasn't been a lot that changed from Batman's origin story in rebirth. Okay. So Rebirth, I really like. I've been enjoying it. It's a good read.

The question I had for you is Gotham and Gotham Girl. Are these new constructs? Yeah, they are, well, keep reading because it kind of gets explained who one of them is and it kind of becomes a little bit tragic, but I don't want to explain too much. Keep reading it because there's this whole thing about

what are you willing to do to become a superhero. Okay, because the storyline around it is very good. And it is super, a lot more thoughtful. than I thought for what it seemed, I don't know, I thought somebody told me the rebirth stuff was not the best or whatever, but I've been enjoying this run. It's okay, and again, it depends on who you talk to. Older

comic fans are not super happy with DC's constant reboots because, you know, rebirth only went for two years. This is the whole thing where they're like, oh, the watchmen are kind of, Dr. Manhattan is messing around with the DC universe. This is coming out of flashpoint. There's all this stuff going on.

And so, yeah, a lot of older fans were not big on it, but, But, you know, you like what you like. And if you're liking the Rebirth Batman, then dive right in. And the art. The art is very good. I forgot his name, but I really like his art. Yeah.

Let me give you a heads up for some things to be watching for after rebirth, because again, Rebirth only went on for two years. Yes, sir. Two Green Lantern titles that I think you will really enjoy. The first one is Farsector. Farce. This is one where we get a green lantern who is from Earth. She is a black woman, and she is sent to the farthest reaches of space.

to become the Green Lantern of that sector, one of the farthest sectors. Okay. And that one is very, very good. Okay. Then the other one, if you're into Grant Morrison shenanigans. I am. Then definitely check out Green Lantern Season 1, which goes for 12 issues. And then currently running, I think it's about to wrap up, is Green Lantern Season 2.

Okay. Both featuring Hal Jordan, but both under the watchful gaze of Grant Morrison. and so you know you're going to get some trippy stuff in that. That's awesome. And certainly both of those should be available under the new DC Universe Infinite, the subscription service that you're doing. Yeah, I've been, that's the other thing I wanted to say is I feel like that thing for seven bucks or whatever it is.

Great. Yeah, if you're into, again, six-month-old comics, that is a really good service. I thought they bumped it to three, or is that marble. I don't remember what it is. Some of them. Maybe they're both doing it. No, but anyway, three to six months, but same way with Marvel Unlimited, same way with Comicsology Unlimited, all that stuff.

If you're okay with not having the most current stuff, then it's, these are pretty, very good deals. In fact, I would say they are excellent deals for casual comic readers. Yeah, I would argue this, if you have a little patience and you can wait to three months or six, whatever it is, and then you catch up on these series in that way, you're spending seven bucks a month. If you read as much comics as I am right now, which is every night I'm reading comics, you're The value for that, it's like, that's two comics at a store.

Yeah, if you only read two comics a month, you're getting a great deal out of this. Because comics right now are anywhere from $2.99 to $5.99 depending. Yeah, I'm just loving it right now. I don't know why I can't get enough of it. And DC is really yanking all the right chains for me. Yeah, if I wasn't somebody that had to talk about, like, new releases stuff, I would probably totally jump in on this and just buy stuff or read stuff as I soft fit. Yeah, yeah.

It reminds me of like I don't know It's like gamers who Are day one when you know Something like I don't know It's like hot new title comes out yeah And then there are those who are like Oh wait for it to go on sale and it's it's kind of like that

If you're not so got to have a day one Then you can read these later and have a great time Plus there's just tons of stuff So many old and classic stories And if you never read the Dark Night Go freaking read that because it's on there and then read year one from Frank Miller. And then, you know, if you want to get all the old JLA stuff, the Michael Turner days and all that, go do that. Oh, that's the only thing I was going to

tell you, bum me out. I was reading that rebirth thing. And on the back end of it, they were doing a special issue that had like sketches and art and stuff. And at the very end, it said, here's a bunch of alternate covers by different artists. And they were named off these different artists. And one of them was Michael Turner, who passed away in 2008 of a weird bone cancer thing. And he was one of the The coolest up-and-coming rad artists. He had done, what's her name, witch? Yeah, he did Witchblade, and he's done a bunch of stuff with Aspen Comics, was where he did a lot of stuff at.

Did Fathom, did those were his created stuff for Wildstorm, but then he also did a bunch of JLA, and he just was really something, and then just died way too young. So I see this alternate cover, and I'm like, wait a minute. Did Michael Turner not die and I made all this up in my head? I was like, having this moment. And I guess what they do is just go find an older thing and say, hey. He has like, I don't know if it was, he knew his time was coming and whatever, but he was always drawing and sketching and doing stuff.

So, yeah, for like 10 years after his death, the company, Aspen was saying, oh, look, here's all of this art that he did. Here's all this justice league art. Here's all this stuff, you know, just poses and different things. DC or somebody, if you want to use this as an alternative cover, you know, pay us and we'll let you do that. So, yeah, there's still a lot of stuff, even today, if you pick up a fathom or soulfire, which I don't know if they're current, I don't know what Aspen's current state is since the pandemic. But they were always still saying, oh, here's a variant Michael Turner cover. Oh, that's cool. That they just have a whole, like, library of art that has never been seen.

I love his stuff. If you haven't, you're hearing me talk about this, you want to go check it out. Just find old Michael Turner stuff. You can search him by name in these comic apps and see his stuff. he was really something died died way too soon he was like 37 or something yeah yeah cancer cancer can go eat a turd um for sure all right now let's talk about future state what what's going on there because i thought it was so future state is uh you know it was supposed supposed to be this whole new uh thing that dc was going to do kind of uh it was

oftentimes referred to as 5g because it was uh going to kick off around the same time that 5g was going to launch and also uh AT&T owns warner brothers which owns dc comics so this was going to be this whole fifth generation thing, and then Dan Didio was let go, and they said, well, we're not going to continue with this anymore because that was his doing. So what Future State has been is about a three-month compression of what they currently had in stock with Future State. Here's the future of the DC universe. But some of these titles have been super, super popular. And so now DC has announced Infinite Frontier, which essentially is going to create two continuity within the DC universe. I'm sure at some point they'll just collapse them and they'll be the same thing.

But you can read, there's going to be ongoing stories with, I forget, Yara Floor, I think, is the new Wonder Woman in the future state. She's going to have her own series. Shiloh Norman gets his own mini series that's spinning out of future state. So we get another Miracle Man thing. They've announced a future state Gotham, which will show the Red Hood, who's now full on working for, in quotes, the state. And is hunting down vigilantes. and they will be announcing a whole bunch more in the coming weeks as we get closer to the March, April, and May solicitations from DC Comics. But in March 2nd, they will kick off with a one shot called Infinite Frontier No. Zero, a 64-page comic that will kind of give you a preview of what's to come in their new Infinite Frontier line.

The art is great. Yeah, there's going to be a lot of artists. There's some really cool stuff that's coming out. I really like what we see coming from Joel Jones and Jordy Belair with the new Wonder Woman looks very cool So yeah, there's going to be There's going to be a lot of stuff

There's even some far sector stuff In there as well, Scott So if you see a green lantern Yeah In there Well, I see a big-headed Well, I see a big-headed guardian And a little robe

With a big fat head Will I see that? I don't know what the current state is Of the guardians of the universe Yeah, those guys are dumb. They drive me nuts with their big heads. They can be. They can be. You know what you should, you should do, speaking, since I'm talking green, green lanterns,

you know what you should do since you have this DC Infinite. You should go back and do the, what is it, the green lantern, green arrow teamups from the 70s. Oh, yeah. What is this? The hard traveling heroes storyline. Really? Okay. Yeah. This is where they, if people are like, ah, comics, we're never political. Go read that run. and it is just nothing but

looking at America through the current eyes I want to say of the 70s and anyone who says the words the comics were never political I can't take them seriously anymore because they're not paying attention that annoys me when people say it well very cool

this looks great I'm very excited about this also there is a there's a new Buck Rogers TV series but it's in trouble why well maybe yes maybe no so George Clooney and legendary pictures with legendary television and legendary entertainment. They had announced a couple of weeks ago that they were going to do a new Buck Rogers television series and now we're hearing that the estate of the Norman, Norman Wetz's face estate is like, oh, no, you're not.

We're going to send you a cease and desist. And the weird thing is, it's like, is it really? Is it really real? because Buck Rogers in the UK has been in public domain for 20 years, and the son of the creator of Buck Rogers has given his blessing on this entire project and saying, yes, this is fine. Right. So we're kind of up in the air of what is the current state of Buck Rogers and does this estate, the Philip Francis Nolan estate, have any claim to say, no, you can't do this production.

So if you heard that it was coming, maybe, maybe not. I don't know. Well, the lawyer that's... But don't get too excited if you want to see Twiggy and the rest popping up on TV in the near future. Just Aaron Gray is all we want. Sylvester Stallone at one point was suing Warner Brothers because they wouldn't pay him royalties on Demolition Man.

I remember this story. Anyway, I'm looking at this new story, and it's the same lawyer who's going after him. So I don't know if he was successful. That's going after George Clooney. I don't know if he was successful getting his 1993 demolition man money or not, but we'll see. that goes. I was actually kind of looking forward to that,

but we didn't even know who's cast in that. Like, that's not necessarily. No, this was like just early stages of Clooney and legendary saying, yeah, we're going to do this. And then you know, the estate stepping and says, oh, no, you're not. There was an interesting dynamite entertainment somehow, and I don't know if they worked with the

estate or how they did it, but they actually did a Buck Rogers comic book series. I want to say maybe five or six years ago. That was really, really cool because they were wrapping all of the stuff that was very Buck Rogers related that we know but doing it in a way that kind of made it

a little vague as far as are they really just dancing around someone's copyright claim or are they just trying to bring a new take to the Buck Rogers story and people might want to go check that out if they are fans of Buck Rogers. It's from Dynamite Entertainment. Yeah, I also have

if they play it like the 70s show it'll be bad. If they play it well unless they do it so intentionally like I don't know what a new Buck Rogers looks like I think it might be bad. I would say go first I would go pick up that that comic book series and look at that because that was very much, hey, let's, you know, take this person from the early 2000s and throw him forward 500 years into the future and let him try to figure things out. And it's interesting.

I think I read the first arc or something of that. There's some old ones in the 80s as well. Yeah. All right. Well, we'll see. We'll see how that goes. Will Twiggy live? You'll never know.

So hot. She starts doing this. Shut up, sir. I'll get to you. Shut up. I get his call and go, hey, Patrick. What is this? I am sleeping. Batis de. That's not his accent. He'd be all mad. Really, really, really. I'd be like, get out of bed. And then, you know, this is really, really early.

What? I like voodoo potato chips. Just for shits and giggles? Yep. How come giggles always get second billing to shits? Because it's way more fun than giggles and shits. Because then it sounds like one causes the other. I know people wear it would.

Yeah. They got a thing, you know, where they work. Oops. Oh, no. Oh, excuse me for a minute. You got to wear a bum mask. Do you have any wet wipes? You have wiping for my bunghole, wipe for my bot?
