Never mind that. Then he may walk to a pillow. The morning stream. We wish you were here. Good morning, everyone, everyone. Welcome to TMS, the morning stream for Monday, March the 1st, 2021. Ah, yes, it's right around now that all our news stories began to be COVID-related, and we couldn't help it. That's right. Yeah, one year ago, I think we were saying on the news today that we had our first COVID death in the U.S. one year ago.

Oh, geez. We should figure out who that, they should make a big deal about who that person is. You know what I mean? Like, the first one seems like a big deal when now we're at, what, 500,000? thousand plus five hundred thousand yeah uh i don't know why it feels like we ought to give that person the more uh not credit but more uh why they were the ones who they were the ones who got us all infected why we can give them any credit what if that was somebody who just rubbed his face into it like a chinese cat and brought it over with him or something like that like how do you know we don't

yeah chinese cat so it's how you get it right you rub your face on listen we don't know there there's so much about covid we don't know might have been might have been chinese cat who knows anything nobody Nobody knows. Here's what I know. I want, now that we're this far in and we're finally got vaccines going around and all that. I want the Johnson and Johnson one. Because it's Johnson? Well, for three specific reasons.

Number one, single dose. I'm into that. Oh, sure. Number two, longer shelf life. So they last longer. They're a better alternative. Number three, it's got the Dame Johnson in it twice. So if you combine it with mine, we've got the triple J.

We're in. We're good. right yes that's what i want i don't care which one i get as long as i get it soon and it's looking like there's a potential oh yeah the people are reminded the johnson and johnson one is like slightly less effective than the moderna and the fizer oh by slightly what do they mean like is it a percentage 70% versus 90% oh interesting i'll take my i'll take my i guess it's not not a not a insignificant amount but um yeah uh but yeah uh but yeah no the the the way color is looking it's it's um there's potential that i might be able to get my well that that my age

group gets uh the ability to start scheduling appointments for the vaccine on march 21st if it's not bad things go things go well so in three weeks i could be getting in line for for my vaccine yeah around here we're we're all being told uh for our range we're being told April, early April or something, so probably pretty close to that, yeah. Yeah. But I'm here to confirm. I talked about this a week ago and

I'm here to confirm in my hot little hands is a PS5 controller. That's all I got. Brian did it. He pulled it off. You pulled it off, man. I pulled it off. I get the PS5. It's sitting here. Yeah. You got

what you buy? Fossus Creed, Valhalla. Yeah. With about 15 minutes played on it because this was a bad weekend for me to get. To get a game machine? Sure. Get a new game machine. I have no time.

Had no time this weekend. Did you play the lady or the man? Lady or man? I have the anima choosing whichever storylines. So right now I'm playing the lady. I'm in the first 15 minutes of the lady. Well, you will always play the lady unless you change it. So the way it works in that particular game is it has this option.

Did you call it anima? Because you've been playing a lot of Warcraft. Oh, I've been playing a lot of Warcraft, the animus? Animus, there you go. So what you do is there's a thing in the pause menu where you can flip it at will. So you can be a dude the entire time, lady the entire time, it doesn't matter, and you can switch anytime. You could be in the middle of a fight. And you could go, I want to be a lady right now.

And you can just go, be a lady. There were three choices when I got into it and it says, always plays the lady, always plays the dude. or let the animus decide based on the storyline. But what you're describing is the middle thing, right? Yeah, well, the middle thing is just them, it's just random. They're not, they're not doing anything special. Oh, okay. It's not going to, like, foot me over to the dude storyline if, you know, once I get so far in the campaign for.

No, there is only one, there is one story campaign, and you are either, irregardless of your lady or man parts, same story. Gotcha. Now, here's what I really like about this. Yeah. I've been playing so much Immortals, Phoenix Rising. The interface for this is very similar. Like, you get that same HUD. You got to know it's both.

They're both Ubisoft. Right. So that makes it difference. In fact, this team, the team that made Phoenix Rising is the team that made the last Assassin's Creed game Odyssey, which is also set in ancient Greek. But yes, the DNA of Assassin's Creed is all over those Phoenix Rising. All over Phoenix Rising, which is great. I like playing both games.

So I'm, that's actually a nice, a nice breeze into this first PS5 game. Yes, Chad. I said irregardless and I regret it. Okay. I got it. It came out. I even heard myself do it and went, no, no, no, no, Scott, you know it's regardless. And then I kept going and now I regret it.

Terrible. I'll take it to my grave. You're irredeemable, Scott. Irredeemable. Or am I redeemable? Hmm. Well, I'm glad you picked it up. I'm a little surprised or remind the folks.

Why, Brian's such a Spider-Man fan. I was sure you get that Spider-Man game first. It was, Assassin's Creed was on sale. Oh, there you go. So I'm like, oh, I'll get it on sale. But as soon as I see Miles Morales on sale, I'll pick that up. I do have the PS4 Spider-Man game, and I'm guessing, I think there's what a 5, PS5 upgrade for that?

No. I can, no. Okay, so it's just the, I think if you get a special version of the Miles-Merales, when you get a PS-5 version of the, that's what it is. That is the case. It's a weird deal. People were mad about that because it couldn't fit. It felt like Sony was being really weird about it.

But I think that's how it is now. You upgrade to, you know, platinum edition of Miles Morales or whatever it is, get you the full potato. Right. Gets me the Spider-Man. Cool. I do like, Matuba in the chat room just asked. Always wondered why Coverville is not part of the instance podcast.

You know, you really don't. You shouldn't wonder. There's really no reason to wonder at all because for the, For the great reason, the recent reason of me calling the thing in Assassin's Creed anima. He's been on there before, though. It was like one of our first guest things way back in the day. I guess a couple times. Yeah.

Before TMS even happened, you were on there. That was a while ago. Oh, free No Man Sky upgrade? Awesome. Oh, yeah. Get that. That looks great on Next Gen consoles, by the way. It looks fantastic on there.

Cool. Yeah. And it's basically, oh, you have to buy it. Oh, no, no, you already own it. No, he's saying it's free. Yeah, I've already got no man's guy on the PS4, so. Yeah, it's on my end. It's on Game Pass.

I bought it. I bought it, played it, sold it, and then all the new stuff came out. And I was like, oh, now I want to play it again. And so I re-bought it, but I bought a used copy. Yeah. Well, this new, your update will be like 60 frames plus and just beautiful. Nice. I'm not on a 4K TV down here.

I'm on a Tshiba flat screen. 1080P. Amazon, Fire TV, 1080P for sure. Yeah, that'll run. It'll still look great. Yeah, you'll still have a really fast frame rate. You won't run a 4K, but you'll have great frame rate. You'll have ray tracing business going on there.

You can now attain little pets in that game. Cool. Do they do anything for me? Can they go retrieve materials for me? No, they can lick your dirty bumhole. They can lick your dirty bumhole. That's all right. I guess I was trying to build a machine that was.

going to do that so now I can stop that and focus on something else. Yeah, you were crafting that. You had to go out and get all little bits and parts for it, but not now. That's right. And by the way, since we're answering questions from the chat room, like this is an call now segment. Crest Waller

asks, how are the rum raisins going? First, let me clarify Crest Waller. Their gin soaked raisins. That's funny. You said Clarify and gin in the same sentence because we learned a lot about Claire and gin the other day. Boy, Claire and gin

found a new love together on Friday afternoon. Yeah, if you missed our game, if you missed our playdate, I don't even know what to tell you. She keeps apologizing. She doesn't need to. You were hilarious. You were very funny. You were hilarious. Yes. You were certainly in the tankeret. You were. That's where you were. Exactly right. Anyway, sorry, you were.

Anyway, so I'm on day two of gin-soaked raisins and when bought some golden raisins, I had some gin, der. and I've had them now for two days, and I've got to tell you, no arthritis. So wait a minute. I didn't have it before, but I still don't have it. So, hold on, wait, what's the, I thought they had to sit longer, no? What's the total time they sit and soak?

48 hours, I think, is how long they're supposed to soak, and I gave them 24 before I got into them. I thought it was like a week or something. I thought it was a long time. Did I have that wrong? I don't know. I was just really excited to do. You're just excited to get the gin Into the gin

Let's see here Can gin soaked raisins help arthritis Blah blah blah blah Yeah The recipe Place a box of golden raisins Into a shallow container Cover the raisins with gin

Let the raisins soak in gin for a few weeks Until the gin evaporates Oh It was weeks All right well weeks Okay so I guess I'll put it Because it was that evaporate part That was important

That it absorbed everything leave right now it's in like a tupperware thing on the counter so i guess i'll just take the lid they won't evaporate if i have the tupperware lid on there so i guess i have to yeah because eventually what you want is raisins with gin not gin with raisins which is what you're doing right now it's like i'm eating a bowl of lucky charms but instead of milk it's gin and instead of lucky charms it's raisins um but all that being said i'm using a fork and scooping a bunch so the gin falls back out. But I assume when you're, I assume there's still some transference of like, you can tell that there's, these have been soaking in gin even at this stage, right? Oh, for sure. I'm getting,

they're, they've puffed up a little bit. Um, and there's a definite gin flavor to those raisins. All right. Well, there you go. Well, weeks, days, what's the difference? It's fine. Yeah, all right. So, you know what? I'll give it, I'll let them, I won't touch anymore until April Fool's Day. There you go. So one month from today. Oh, okay. That'll work. Oh, hi, dear. Oh, hello.

I think you were on camera there momentarily, although no one saw you because I was on Brian's camera. Do you want to come say hi? Oh, well, I saw her. Here she is. Hi. She came and stole some paper. You ever seen paper?

You ever steal paper? Remember that from Waterworld? Remember that? You remember? Okay. Anyway, well, it's nice to see it. Take all the paper you need. Okay.

Is that all you need? All right. We're an office max and a full service. company here okay she hates that we don't have a printer that works anymore I want to be printer free I hate printers I know you do but there's still some things

you gotta have one printer in the house do I though do I sure yeah I mean look at all right so right now when you have to send out some prints you go to the post office with your with your addresses what do you have like on a on a QR code on your phone and then just scan

the QR code and it prints out your labels it depends like in so most of that that, most of that, most of those, I'm sorry, the logistics of sending stuff out from the stores being handled in Virginia by Dave. So he does most of that. Now, if I was Dave, I'd have to have a printer. Because if I was pumping out multiple prints a day that were going to people every day, then yes, I would have to have the printer if I was still doing all that stuff here. But because I'm not, the only time we've needed it in the last six months was something came up with like this bank stuff. And they were like, sign the thing. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. with taxes and stuff. I mean, I guess. And I'm like, let's do it all electronically. What's wrong with you, people? Doc, you sign everything.

Let's do it all electronically. The problem is that I've got clients who send me a PDF of my 1099 and my accountant doesn't do, like, doesn't have the set of her electronics. So she's like, can you print it out and bring it to us? Oh, yeah. See, my accountant will do everything by digital. I guess, yeah. It makes a difference.

But I mean, here's a package. Here's my Elgado. streamer that I replaced that I put on eBay sold and this is going out and I printed a label so I can stick in the mailbox today. Nice. How'd you do on that? Do you get good money for it? Do I right? Yeah, actually 112 bucks

and so $8 shipping priority mail so I'm 104 so I basically paid You basically branded it for 50 bucks. Kind of yeah. Right? Yeah. Well done. That's awesome, dude. Seriously. That's a great price. I thought you were going to say, I had to let it go for 60, 70, whatever. Yeah, I know. There are people who are doing, make an offer for 60, and I just ignore them.

You have to ignore those people, dude, because they always go, I really like product you have. I offer you this, but only tell me directly by text, and I use PayPal. Do not use eBay. I'm like, we're on eBay. That's what the eBay's for, you dumbass. Right. Yeah.

Or please use this address and not the one that I had the winning bid with, please. I hate that. Oh, there's no scam going on there whatsoever. Yeah. And hopefully we're helping somebody when they're hearing this for the first time. Don't ever entertain those. Like sometimes someone may have an early bid, and that's fine. If they're doing it through eBay, do it.

Take it. If it's a deal you want, like if they say, hey, I'll give you a hundred, great. Now you do the process. And if you don't do it, if they say, well, I'd really prefer, you know, we could go through Venmo and my personal phone is my better way to communicate. No, no, go away. A-hole, you're cheating. Yeah.

It's becoming such, this whole eBay thing. is becoming such a nightmare because I'm having all those computers that I cleared off. I set up a user, got in there, got the specs off of the About This Mac screen, because some of that stuff you can't get through terminal without a user on there. And then I did another wipe of the machine, like a zero out wipe, and set it up. So as soon as they open up, it's like you got it from the Apple store. It says, welcome, hi, hello, and all these different languages. Bill Komen and all that.

Yes, but now I'm getting so many people who are asking about battery cycles, and I can't find that out via terminal either. And one guy, you know, said, threatened to send it back because of battery cycles. I'm like, go ahead. I'll just resell it. Hold on a second. Battery cycles? They won't, because you couldn't give them that information? No, because I didn't get that.

I didn't get that information off of the about this Mac screen when I got all the other info. so now I have to go back in all of these and get battery cycle information repeat the whole process of creating a user on there oh it's such a nightmare that's a giant pain dude I hate people people are the worst yeah people are the worst yeah I don't like them

eBay people are the worst All right we got a couple of years ago You actually had stuff to talk about Yeah we do but it's fine And by the way if you're not a patron I recommend being one because we just had a really great discussion about the golden globs prior prior to all of this and that's where we're going to let that live there so yeah we don't need to do any during the show talk about the golden globs yeah but we

learned a lot about their format this year and brian's take on it because i didn't watch it um also it turns out brian's a big softy he's a big softy he's a big softy when it comes to the i am i totally am and people will find out how i'm a big softy yeah it's not his wiener like you were thinking it's definitely not all right uh check this out. We got an email from Sam, Lady Shack 08, who said this, Dear S&B, I just listened to your Jim Reeves phone call and a question on what happens to those old numbers. I used to work for a telemarketing company that took calls for reverse mortgage, coin collection, political, and even American Idol's voting number. We would be notified when the commercial would air and incoming calls would list what the call was for. So this is interesting. It's like a catch-all number or a, you know, a call center that would take all these calls. You could be the same person and take American I. then a collector coin thing and then whatever plates commemorative plates or whatever yeah that's crazy he says to answer accordingly uh we would then have a script and questions to provide further information to be able to take payment and place orders uh so most of the time the phone numbers

just lead to a call center with uh that is no longer needed uh thanks i hope that helps a little okay fair enough but then i have i have some news we got something from jamie tms mashups jamie You know him mostly from his mashups. Once in a while, he'll say, hey, I got another thing I need to share with you. I'll say, what's that, pal? And he'll say what it is. And I'm burning time here while I've opened this up. Okay.

Oh, well done. He sent us this number that he said somehow comes out a god of war, the very popular PlayStation 4 game. And he says it works and it's worth playing. So we're going to call this number. It's an 888 number, which is a toll-free prefix, I believe. And I'm going to hit a call. Let's just see what we get, Ryan.

This is totally side-unseen. Once again, we don't know what we're doing here. So here you go. He's always works so well. Always does. Never fails. Yeah. By the God, you've done it.

Somehow you've found your way here to me. I offer you my congratulations and my respect. Okay. Together, we shall conquer the perils that lay before. us and we shall Oh, Dude, dude, they did it. They found our Easter egg.

Who are you? It's me, David Jaffe, I directed the game. Okay, goodbye. That's old. Let me, let me, let me, let me make something really clear. I just,

I just want to picture Kratos for a second, holding a phone up to his ear. Good job. Well done. At first, I thought, wait, is this from, so this isn't from the God of War, the recent one. This is an old, like, PS, excuse me, PlayStation 2 era

phone number because David, David Jaffe hasn't run that game in a decade. So that's like old and it still works. So that's pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Yeah. I like that. All right. Well done. So does it just say congratulations on Find the Easter egg

and then nothing? Or do they say, here's a code. So you can save $5 off the new God of War 3 coming out for the PlayStation 3. My guess is, yeah, that would have been PS3. Man, I'd love that one. Anyway, but they, but they, I don't know. Maybe they do, but my guess is they just try to be funny for a little while, you know? Like, they just try to be a hoot.

And then they fail miserably, is my guess, because that comedy was not working for me. Anyway, there you go. I don't know who played the original voice of Kratos, but I think that was him. The current voice is a dude from Stargate. Christopher, Christopher, Christopher, Christopher Maloney. Nope. Christopher Guest. No.

Christopher Plummer. Christopher, watch. Christopher Judge. Christopher Judge, right? Christopher Judge, okay. Yeah, he was, he was, uh, Tilt on, uh, did you ever watch, Sargay? Was that the thing you missed? Was that the thing you never?

Uh, I think I started, I think I watched the first episode of the pilot or the pilot of the series and thought, man, all right, this is all right. this is all right. I'm not going to continue with this. It's fantastic. It gets better, right? Oh, yeah. I think I remember when I talked about that I was watching it before. Yeah, it's like Star Trek in that, it starts, it always, everything like this starts a little rough in the first goings. In fact, I think the pilot was a showtime joint and it had nudity in it and everything. But it's so much better than that movie. Like the movie it's based on is garbage compared to it. I like that. I loved Atlantis. I even like that new one that was a little bit short.

on seasons, but it was a little BSG-ish. I forgot the name of it. It's all great, though, man. It's great. Okay. I'm telling you right now, that's a good binge. If you like like you, once in a while, we'll watch, like, through DS9 or something. It's like that. You'll like it. Okay.

Yeah, I'll give it another shot at some point. Yeah, for sure. All right. Let's get in some... It's also intimidating because there's so much of it. There's a hell of a lot of it. But there's no more than there is Star Trek, I would say, TNG, right? SG1 anyway. but man there's so many cool guest stars and actors and uh don oh it's that guy we like we know we like him you know the guy in best in show he's like the judge at the end of best and show bob bellabam no bald guy uh not him not he's also bald but not him a big big guy don s davis

yeah that guy don ass davis yeah he died but he's he's awesome in it uh later on bow bris just takes his job, it's just good. It's just good. It's a great, great, great show. All right. I've done all the selling I can do. We're now going to Dunaway this up and have a little bit of fun with you, the listener, and Brian Dunaway, the guy, the man. The man. He's coming in. We're going to play this right here. Hey, everybody. Welcome Brian Dunaway to the show for another edition of Babel Royale. Brian. Oh, hi Scott and Brian.

I just talked to yesterday. How's it going? Oh, good. Yeah. We did just talk to me. I forgot. We had a little virtuosity, talk. Yeah. We were

All right, hey, speaking of playing with Dunaway, we're going to play with Dunaway right now and play this game called Tad Pooley Feud. Brian, you want to, oh, we need a caller, though, don't we? Yeah, I'll explain to who. Yeah, good point. Sorry, someone just called and I missed it. Call again, 8-014-471-0-462. That's right. Oh, I can already see what our category is.

This is fantastic. I'm so excited. I got to find the password and login. Hold on a second. I'm scrolling back to the history. Don't think about it too much, Sky, because that's cheating. Oh, yeah, I won't think about it. Brian, yeah, it's right there. That link will get you in and choose your color and you're ready to go. Okay, we have a listener to let's find out who's on the line line.

Hi, who's this? Hey, this is Jeff from Columbus, Ohio. Jeff from Columbus, Ohio. Did we meet when I was there? Did we get to meet? We did it. Oh, that's right. I knew I knew a Jeff from Columbus.

I just couldn't remember where or how, but that's how I know because I met you in Columbus. Fantastic. Jeff is good to have here. go ahead oh no i was the one that brought you guys uh jenny's ice cream oh you were the you're the man you not only brought us jenny's ice cream and it was so good that the next day we decided to walk down there and get more because we liked it that much that place is insane oh my gosh i can't eat ice cream anymore but man that was a hell of the thing uh so yes you're still eternally in my uh good graces as a result hey brian ibbett will you explain to jeff how this is going to work and what he might win well you're

yes I will. So it's time to play the tadpooly view. You almost said it. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics and Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Jeff,

your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you'll get a prize package that includes de-leveled game. These are both games on Steam. de-leveled, and the ambassador fractured timelines.

Nice. De-level. With either of those? I'm not. I think, Scott, you played de-leveled, didn't you? I thought that was... Something's familiar. Something rings a bell.

Something rings a bell. De-leveled. It's not disheveled, right? No. Remember talking about, what a stupid name that is, but hey, it sounded like something we played before. Yeah, it does sound like something. Anyway, I'm sure they're good.

All right. Cool. All right, let's give you guys a topic, and then we'll get into this your topic today. Hands on buzzers, Scott and Brian. All right. What is your favorite Star Wars quote?

Oh, crap. I buzzed in, but I didn't make it sound. I'm sorry. Wait, what? Scott buzzed in. I buzzed in. Okay, you ready? Favorite Star Wars quote?

Yes. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Show me. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Oh, wow. Seventh answer on the board. Six answers will beat it. Brian, can you name another Star Wars quote that our tab.

Oh, let's see. Do or do not. There's no try. Do or do not. There is no try. Show me that. Oh. Number two, Brian.

You've got the option to play or pass, but our caller, Jeff, you actually get to decide who you want to play with, either Scott or Brian at this point. I will go with Brian. All right. Okay, so you'll be playing with Brian. You'll be helping him with answers. Brian, you have the choice of either... Actually, we're not doing that pass or play thing, right? Because we've got the strikes, multiple strikes, for each of you.

Right. So, Brian, you'll be playing. And so points are going to be going to be going to you from this point forward. All right, name another Star Wars quote that people seem to like. I'm going to go with Akbar. It's a trap. I guess I should ask if, I should guess just ask if my, my co-pilot here, my wookie. Yeah.

What do you think? It's a trap. Is it good? No, I think it's a good one. All right. All right. Show me. It's a trap.

Oh, I thought it'd be number one. Number five on the list. Very good. I was sure that'd be number one. The one that Scott always says, and I can't, it, I've heard Scott say it so many times. I no longer associate with Star Wars but stay on target

I'm too fat on target I'm too fat I'm too fat I'm too fat I'm too fat I can't do stay on target oh man that's not bad I would have gone with that I should have asked you should have asked you should have asked Jeff if you like that answer all right we're going over to Scott Scott

name a the tadpool's favorite Star Wars quotes Oh It's so fun watching these two do it Now I have to think for myself Mm-hmm I don't like it Jamie can you isolate that All right

Let's let's go with Do I have to give it exactly right? No Okay Just roughly So it's the whole Tattoines of Hive of Scum and villainy thing

That whole deal Oh, that's a good one. Except it's not tattooing. It's Moss Isley. Show me you'll never find a more Richard hive of scum and villainy. Oh, that's good. Damn it.

Oh, it was on the list, but did not make the top ten. Back over to Brian and Jeff. Now, the one I was going to say, but you had one? You had one, go ahead. No, there's just somebody that picked from. Yeah. There's a lot of talking in those movies. The one that came to my...

my mind immediately was, the two that come to my mind immediately was, I find your lack of faith disturbing, but I'm like, that's one of my favorites. I was trying to think the tadpool would have been down with that. I'd actually thought of that one. I'd also considered the time that Leah caught him a nerve herder, but I'd like your lack of faith disturbing. Let's do it. Okay. Show me, I find your lack of faith disturbing. Oh, man. Oh, really? Oh.

All right. Something just occurred to me. I was worried about the tadpull, not going with that one. Some just occurred to me that makes me realize what we're dealing with here. Brian, you didn't say this, but it's Star Wars quotes. It doesn't mean the original trilogy necessarily. It could be anything. No, no, it can be all over the...

So, Misa Jar Jar Jar Bees could be in there, is what you're saying. Yeah, but also something like I'll say this is the way. How about that? Oh, right, because Mandalorian is the Star Wars. Sure, okay. This is the way. Yeah.

My surprise might give you a heads up as to what you're going to get here. Show me, this is the way. Gosh, dang it. So everyone's brain is in the movies. All right, go ahead. Everyone's thinking about the movies, not TV. I'm sure.

Yeah, I think we're trying too hard. How about may the force be with you? I mean, that's a good point I think we're really just trying way too hard all right show me

may the force be with you oh wow number 10 I guess maybe we aren't thinking too hard then I don't know no you might be all right

you guys keep going right or do they go back to you guys keep going yeah keep going okay yeah in that case what do you think about help me Obi-Won Kenobi you're my only hope What do you think about? Is that too general?

I think that's a good one. This good one? All right. Tell me, Obi-Wan, Kenobi. You're my only hope. Show me that holographic way of thing. Oh, come on. All right, Scott. So here's the deal. Brian and Jeff have three points on the board for uncovering three answers. You need to run the board with three more answers to win. Two more at a tie. All right. Well, let's do the Luke. I'm your father business. Let's get that out of that.

the way. Yeah, except that's not what he said, but go ahead. Do that one. Yeah, I don't care if it's exactly right. We know what I mean. We know. Yeah, so many people put it, uh, show me, Luke, I am your father. Oh, good. Yep. They put it, they did put, uh, some people put, Luke, I'm your father. Some people put no, I am your father. Just plain, I'm your father. So I bundled all those up into I am your father. Yeah. Right. Right. No, I am your father. Yeah. No. That's right. Yes. I am your. I am your father. All right. All right. So, two of three. Two of three, here we go. I really like Jeff, so I promise I'm not trying to hose you on this deal, but I feel a fiduciary

duty to not throw this away, so I'm going to try. Let's go with, um, uh, use the force, Luke. Use the force Luke. Show me. Use the force Luke. Shit. Are you kidding me? Oh, I'm not kidding you.

All right. Dang it. So, Brian and Jeff win. The round is over, but let's see how. I had one more in my pocket, the one I just did. Never tell me the odds. That was one of the ones. I didn't like they would have done that one.

Never tell me the odds. Oh, man. What about Annika and I have the high ground? Oh, that was on the list, like five. people said that, but it wasn't enough to crack the top 10. All right, show me number one. Come on. I love you. I know. I know.

I was going to do that. But that's two people talking. I didn't think that it's a quote. That's a good one. Some people will just put the, I know, some people both put that tells you so much about the tadpool right there. It does. Absolutely. Two people quotes. Show me number three. I have a bad feeling about this, or I've got a bad feeling about this.

Any variation of the bad feeling about this, which was said in just about every movie. Show me number eight. Laugh it up, fuzzball. Damn it. And show me number nine. We're fine. We're all fine here now. Thank you.

How are you? Any combination thereof of the boring conversation anyway, all that stuff got lumped into that one. Damn it. Really, I don't know. Chatroom won this one as far as I'm concerned. But so did Jeff? Jeff won. Winner.

Yeah, Jeff. Yeah, well done. Jeff, you've won. And I'm glad to hear that. Now, the trick is you got to email Brian, coverville at gmail.com, and then people transfer these prizes to you. That is correct. You have anything to say in your defense of why you're such an awesome player?

Nothing. Nothing? You only got nothing? All right. Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it, though. No problem, man. Thanks for the ice cream again.

I know I don't say it enough. It was so good. All right. That's going to do it for that. Hey, Brian Dunaway, well done. Good to have you here, as always. Yes. You want to hear some of the ones that didn't make it on the board, but were great quotes?

Sure. Please. So I found your lack of faith disturbing was number 11. So just barely didn't make it. Let the wookie win. Why, you stuck up half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerfherder. let's see hello there just obi one the first time he sees really and i thought they smelled bad on the outside

oh of course it's over anikin i have the high ground no that's no moon and my favorite mcclunkey wow oh nice so none of these nothing from the from the mandolian made it in there nothing from mandolarian and very few things from outside the original trilogy but but because there were some things like um because i think what person put did you ever hear the tragedy of dorth plagueus the wise i thought it's not a story of the jedi would tell you like that's somebody's favorite quote they think i kind of now it might be mine because they used it that's pretty funny but i'm just saying like i'm surprised nobody went this is the way or i have spoken

or you know there's that shows full of meamy stuff i was really surprised by that It totally is. All right. And by the way, Luke Sightwalker was trying to figure out why we're doing a number of answers and out points, because this balances out. 78 people had, I love you, I know, out of the 300 people who did the survey. So if you got that, if you got that one, it probably meant that the game would be over mathematically. Although do or do not had 72 people picked it. So the top two answers had half of the respondents.

The trick is, here's what you do. make sure you follow our Twitter account because when there's a new survey going up, we post it there. And we'll make sure. Twitter, Facebook, I did it on Discord, Slack, and, yeah, we put it everywhere. Yeah. So if you see that link, don't be afraid of it. It's just a Google forum and you go fill it out and you get to be a part of the thing by being a statistical, you know, probability or whatever. And another big shout out to Al-Qabab for putting this thing together.

It's a great This tool makes this game so much easier I agree Imagine the real family feud Without the big board And the things flipping over You couldn't do it It'd be lame

Can't live on Richard Dawson kisses alone That's what I say Anyway One last thing on the survey front If you put silly answers in the survey Guess who sees them Just me And that's it

And so they're funny And I laugh at them But they don't get counted In the results because they're probably don't apply. So if it says Brian Dunaway's severed foreskin, you just, you're the only one that ever knows. I'm the only one who gets to see it.

And I might chuckle at it, but are you playing with your microphone there, Brian? Oh, was I? I don't know. It was a weird sound. Hey, speaking to which, there's a lot of weird sounds coming out of him for our recent episode of Film Sack we just put up last night. It is for the movie Virtuosity, a kind of terrible Denzel Washington, Russell crow thing from the 90s

and if you'd never seen it, boy, howdy, it's time because it's still on Hulu and for a few days still on Prime. No excuse not to watch it and to listen to us. So go check it out, FilmSack.com. And join us tomorrow for me and Dunaway's little show called Boop. I got a weird game I found on GamePass.

Can't wait to talk about it. It's super freaking weird, but I think I love it. And whatever Brian picked, we picked some strange, indie, small, weird games and we play them and talk about them right there, live at 3,000, 30 mountain time at frogpans.com slash TV.

No, frogpats. Dot TV is what I meant to say. Hey, Brian, anything you want to add before you go? Wow, I think you about covered it this time. Yeah, I did. I really, and it's been a good one today. I appreciate all the things you guys do.

Oh, thanks, man. I'm glad you like it. And I'm glad you exist. Bye now. All right. He's gone. Yeah, he's gone. We can talk about him now.

Now we can talk about him. I don't watch the news. Oh, good, because we do, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Soundography. Yeah, after things like Slayer and Mushroom Head and Typo Negative, Hammond and I decided to spend some time listening to some sweet, sweet country music. I don't know which is worse. So we listened to a whole week of, or two weeks actually, of Toby Keith.

And remind me of a song. What song should I know? What's a main stream? Red Solo Cup. I love this bar. All the stereotypes then. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Anyway, what did we think? I hope I'm not given too much away, but you can check it out by going to Soundography.com to find out more. Soundography.com, listen to us. Talk about Toby Keith. Nice. Toby Keith, finally getting his due on Soundography.

All right. Whose idea was that, by the way? Was that Hammond's or yours? We always do one country artist every season, and we, bounce back and forth between old country which i like and new country which i don't like so for every toby keith there is a patsy klein or a willy nelson or a you know um right but then we also get reba and you you probably like that colter wall guy then don't you because he's like new but his style is old i do you know i really like and i can't all of a sudden i can't think of his name

Oh, and I, do you mean that that's the guy that just got busted with all the N-words, right? Oh, who's that? Oh, no, that's a different guy. That's not Coulter Wall, for sure. Not Coulter Wall. No, Coulter Wall is pretty independent. He doesn't, he's not super mainstream. No, who's the guy that did that really cool crossover rock album?

Oh, my God. Why can I not remember? Stevie Ray Vaughn. No, he's a newer guy. only maybe put out four or five albums. Shoot. Chandler, Candleer. All right.

Now I'll look it up. All right. Penrose, Von, stipened. Except I can't remember the name of the, it was like one of my favorite albums of 2019. And so much has happened in a lot. Sturgle Simpson.

Thank you. Oh, with the animated thing and everything. Yes. Sturgle Simpson, I really, really like. That was awesome. Yeah. I freaking love that.

You're the one that put me on that. I love that. so that that'll probably be coming up in a future season is like a all right let's uh let's play something we really enjoy that's that's that's a album that brian turned me on to i turned scott on to that yes big pause between the second and last letter uh let's get to a couple stories here uh this is an important breaking one we had to get to it um we owe it to our audience to the world really to make sure we cover these important stories and here's one of them A man was hospitalized after putting 15 boiled eggs up his anus.

Oh. Yeah. Yeah. How do you feel about that, Brian? Fifteen boiled eggs. Yeah. Like... Fifteen too many.

What do you think was the... What do you think was the strong of broken animals back? Like, like two boiled, boiled eggs? Like, I think that would be where you say, nope, I think I need, I need emergency medical attention. Any boiled eggs would be my answer. This is the worst, this is the worst reboot of Cool Hand Luke I've ever seen. It's pretty bad. For better or for worse, probably worse, though.

People just love to stick things in their bums. All right. That's what they do. But one recent case, we'll make even the most jaded of us at Wince, says this article. It all started when a report published last week in the Dutch Journal of Medicine titled Step-by-Step approach to the rectal corpus alienum. All right. Don't know what that is.

Rectal corpusanum. Any alienum, alienum, alenium, aluminaum, rectal corpus alenium. In other words, how to remove foreign objects or bodies stuck in a patient's bum, a truly noble cause. Ladies and gentlemen, the paper begins. Patients who visit the emergency room because of foreign bodies in the rectum are certainly not exceptional. In recent years, the problem has just increased. On the basis of three different cases, we present a step-by-step approach for the removal of a rectum corpus alionum. One of those cases is making headlines.

Patient C is a 29-year-old man who came to the emergency room around midnight because of acute stomach pain, the study reports. And then the report goes on to say, by the way, patient C's real name is Mike Bailey of Jamestown, New Mexico. Here's his real name. Together with his partner, he had amily inserted 15 boiled and peeled eggs while under the influence of GHB. Ah, sure.

Yeah, that'll get you every time that GHB. It'll get you. The old GHB, sure. Watch out, George, Herbert Walker Bush. Right? Yeah, that's good. He was under his influence. He's watching old tape at him going,

I will not read, Texas, read my lips, no new taxes. Oh, put the eggs up my bum. Put them in. When he finished, they put up a big sign that said, mission accomplished. Well, that'd be his son. Wrong, wrong, uh, wrong Bush.

Yeah, wrong Bush. Never, never be able. in the wrong bush, is what I'm saying. Never be at this guy, I put him in the wrong bush. By the time the gentleman got to the hospital, he was suffering from an abnormally rapid heart rate, tachyacardia of 120 beats per minute, and rapid breathing rate of 28 breaths per minute.

Physician, or sorry, physical exam revealed abdominal guarding across, abdominal guarding across his entire abdomen, basically means it's all stuffed up with these eggs. Suspecting abdominal sepsis, the doctors gave him a CT scan, and what they saw was not pretty. 15 hard-boiled eggs. Now, this... Don't put all your eggs in one asshole.

This story makes me think that he didn't... He wasn't up front right away with what might be the problem. Do you know what I mean? Like, you went in going, oh, my stomach hurts. I've got some stomach issues. Did you eat anything? Oh, not technically. I guess I didn't really eat anything.

Yeah. Does it count if I pushed more than a dozen eggs in my bum? They had to open two cartons, boil, and J.K. Grammer points out, or somebody pointed out, a dice tomato, that they had to peel the eggs while on GHB as well, which requires some dedication. Which makes me think they didn't get all the shells. I think they were probably, that was probably problematic. Anyway, shell fragments. This story would bum my daughter out because she thinks any egg that isn't used for her amazing egg bowls in the morning. is a waste of an egg and so I'm not going to tell her about it for lots of reasons but that's one reason um all right one final story check this out Las Vegas back in the news all these months

later pandemic be damned the newest Las Vegas slot machine is 11 stories tall and dispenses used cars oh man no way really yep this is amazing so here's what you do forget about being a cat or four cash at a casino used car shopping site Carvana has a giant vending machine in Las Vegas that accepts tokens for cars. It's 11 story structure. It is Caravana's 28th car vending machine in the U.S. I've seen these in Hong Kong or

something, so I don't think this is new in the world, but here it might be new. This is a first in Nevada. The Las Vegas machine lights up and fits into the skyline near the famous strip. It holds up to 39 cars that are stacked up and brought down to ground level with a special car elevator, rather.

You first have to browse and buy the car online, but this isn't the same as a slot machine. I wanted people to walk by and go, here's a grand. I'll pull a handle. And yes, right, exactly. And then... Yeah, that didn't happen. That bums me out slightly. Yeah. I do want to see... Like, I like these... They haven't been in Chicago,

and I still haven't seen them. These parking garages that have this weird elevator contraption that rotates and moves the cars all independently and brings your car to you. Yeah, those like vertical parking... Yes. Yeah, Tokyo had them, and I never saw them there either. But... Saw one in Hong Kong forever ago, early 2000s, and I thought, that's never coming here.

And sure enough, I don't think it has. I don't think we're, we can spread out more. We can sprawl more in America. We got land, man. Yeah. But in Hong Kong or Tokyo or places like that, there's no room left. So you got to go up. You got to go vertical.

Yep. You go up. It says for the full vending machine experience, you're given an oversized coin from the company rep. So it's like big, fat-ass coin, and they jam it in the machine. And then out comes your car. They say it's like winning the jackpot, but for a vehicle you already bought and paid for online. Well, that's not the same.

That's not it. But you don't know which, but you don't know which vehicle, right? You do. You know what you're getting because you've already done the whole thing. You've already, okay. That's why it's dumb. It's not like you paid X amount and you're going to get one of these vehicles. You just don't know which one.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, you're getting. Well, that's not a, that's none of the, I know, none of it's Vegas like, right? Exactly. Yeah. No gambling. nothing. It's just dumb. Unless

the gambling part is maybe you're getting a lemon because they didn't tell you that they've been in a wreck or something. That's always Carfax will cost you one more oversized coin, sir. Exactly. It says it's stuck right between the Mirage and Treasure Island casinos. So next

time we're there, we're checking that out. Yeah. Got to get pictures of this stupid car dispenser. Yes. All right. Yeah. And I'm sure like you're going to be waiting there for a while probably before you see somebody coming by. one you know i'm guessing it's not like it's a constant like oh yeah we're all right and here comes another one open here comes another one it's like all right well we've been here for three hours

nobody's buying a used car uh you get the impression that if you okay if we were i'll bet you if we're there and we're standing in front of it and we sat there for two hours that we'd never see anyone come get a car i bet yeah i mean i'd bet for a day maybe maybe if that yeah and so it must be, I mean, why else would you build it other than the hype for it, but I don't know. Just the hype, yeah, exactly it's to draw attention. It's a very expensive structure to build for this

level of non-hype. Right. They're going to get the initial newscasters, local news talking about it, but people are going to go and try and see this thing. They're going to

they're going to get bored. The word is going to spread that it's boring and then nobody's going to go there. Yeah, and then it'll be dumb. Here's what you do to make it cool. And I would do this under the right circumstances. 200 bucks, get you in, all right? You go down there, and for 200 bucks,

you pull the thing. And then you have some chance out of 100,000 or whatever, to get one of the cars in this contraption. now we're talking like you'll actually make money i think people in vegas are like oh yeah this is a lark i'll throw 200 at this i won 200 at the at the freaking blackjack table i'll just spend it here so wait you're saying you're you're saying though they're guaranteed to get a car no they get nothing i'm no nothing i'm not saying they have a percentage chance of getting a car okay gotcha just like a real slot machine it's like they don't get to choose right right gotcha so it'd be still like

it still be a chance i mean i'd say make it make it $1,500 and you have just as much chance of getting a 1971 Buickless Sabre versus getting a 2010 Toyota Camry

or something like that. Yeah. Or once in a while, it'll be like some hot freaking Ferrari that you could win. The odds are ridiculously low, but there's a Ferrari in there. And then you might get lucky to get it. I think if you're guaranteed to get a car of some sort,

You'll get the drunk people coming from the strip and saying, oh, yeah, I'll give it a shot in all. No. Look, if they want ideas, we're idea, men. We have ideas. Yeah. We also have to take a break. Bigura says there are 24 of them in the U.S. It's not a gimmick.

It's online car buying and it's cool. Yeah, but it's not a slot machine. Yeah. So all these articles are saying, it's not what they're trying to advertise it as. Yeah, all these articles are all using the terms of car slot machine in their headlines. That's not exactly what it is. So it's a vending machine. All right.

We get it, Dice Tomato. We know what a vending machine is. We're good. Hey, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to have some guests here to be great. A reminder that this entire process is brought to you by our supporters over at patreon.com slash TMS.

That's patreon.com slash TMS. All right. stick around for both Bill and Stephen, they're coming up before that, a musical break that Brian hath brought. I hath brought an indie in the middle today that is someone who's worked with a lot of

people you know, but maybe isn't a name you recognize right off the bat. Mark Ribbler, who is a singer-songwriter and producer, who's worked with Little Stephen and Disciples of Soul, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Carol King. he's finally debuting his own solo album coming out June of this year. But he's releasing the first single from that now and the single is shattered. You know, you always worry when you hear stuff like this that it's going to be like, all right, well, this guy, I can see why he works in the background, right? Why he produces and writes.

No, this guy's got some great power pop chops working with all these musicians, Elvis Costello and Springsteen and all that. So here is the song Shattered from Mark Ribbler from the brand new album, The Whole World Awaits You. world ablaze You burn it like a birthday Ken Tell me that you need it You throw those

sugar-coated lives You tempt me, baby Tempt me, baby Tempt with your eyes You can break me down You put me back together Every time You can level my heart

from that how to thing Oh, okay. I loved that. I loved it so much that I am like, I want to sign a petition for a second season. What are we even doing? I loved it. I found it endearing in every way.

I laughed harder and I've laughed in a long time. I thought it was amazing. Incredible. It's so good. Yeah. So weird. So good. And now I want to come across a box of stuffing that says stoffer's stovetop stuffing.

Oh my gosh, dude. Or the raisin brand with some. It was so crazy. And I was sure I'd seen the raisin brand with sunglasses. That was one that really got me. I was too, yeah. I mean, there's something to that. I don't know what I'm thinking of.

I think there was maybe a commercial where it wore sunglasses before it melted into the box or something. Like the character of the sun was like out there going, ah, summer, raisin brand, and then ended up in the box without the sunglasses? I don't know. I'm just saying that thing blew my mind. All right. Moving on. Where are we now? Oh, yeah. We got to call Bill. A little behind the eight ball here. Here we go. Okay. We're going to call Bill. We got a question for Bill today from a listener. It's going to be fun. Can't wait to dive in. Let's play this to celebrate. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Bill Doran of Punished Props.com fame joins us now all the way from Seattle or thereabouts. Hello, Bill. How are you?

Good morning. Big day. Lots going on. Yeah. Got a few things to talk about. Yeah. Not the least of which is that this segment, this making things with Bill segment, we've done 200 of them. What? Oh, really? Wow.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I track all of these things. Now, that's not counting fitness. Not counting fitness. So when you switched over to just doing making things with Bill? Yeah. No, the fitness thing started about a decade ago.

Yeah. It was a while ago. Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say that was pretty early on in the show's inception, but I can't believe it's been 200 of these. That means that whoever's been listening to all 200 of these, they should all be master makers now, right? Oh, yeah, totally. Totally. Okay. Fantastic. I'm in. Well, anyway, it's good to have you here, Bill. I've got an email. You want me to read this first or how do you want to do this? Do you want to do this first or last? Yeah, let's tackle that first. All right, here we go.

We got an email from Derek Q. Derek, if you're listening, this is for you. says hi could you ask bill what chemicals you should use to remove paint from an existing prop that you might want to refinish or repaint and what precautions should one take when using such chemicals seems like a pragmatic question about i'm glad he's about safety that's good yeah absolutely yeah what would you tell i know we've talked about these here and there but i don't know if we've gone into too much depth about what variety of stuff is out there how careful you should be that sort of stuff. Yeah, so I did this recently.

I had a wedding cake topper from my wedding, which was also more than 10 years ago. Yeah. And the original paint job on it never fully dried and it ended up 10 years later being fully covered in cat hair. So I had to take the paint and the cat hair off and put new paint on. Right, right. So I tried a couple of different, I didn't know it was painted with. So knowing what kind of paint you worked with can help.

I didn't know. I didn't paint the original. So if I did it, what I tried. Yeah. So I tried a bunch of different chemicals. I tried acetone. I tried naphtha.

And eventually I tried lacquer thinner. And that did the trick. Lacker thinner is pretty nasty stuff. Now, why does that sound so basic? Like, when you say lacquer thinner, it feels like something my uncle would have told me in 85, like grab me the lacquer thinner. or whatever. So it's like an old school solvent, right?

So lacquer paints don't get used as much as they used to. I imagine it's health and environmental concerns because the stuff is very noxious. You don't want to breathe it in. You don't want to get it on yourself. You don't want to drink it or anything. That'd be bad. Right. And it gets sprayed in the air all the time when you're working with it.

So there are actually, like there's a company called FlowQuil. that made good lacquer paints and I cannot find them anywhere anymore. Like, they're just less and less lacquers out there. But you go to Home Depot, you can buy lacquer thinner. You do want to be careful with the stuff. Now, the way I stripped the paint on my cake topper was I brushed a bunch of lacquer thinner all over the surface and then I wrapped the whole thing in paper towels that were, and I think I put plastic wrapper out of it too. and then I covered it with a plastic container

like a jug or something to keep the vapors in, right? To keep them working on that paint and I left it for a couple hours and that bubbled the paint up and you could just like pick it off with a with like a toothpick. It was so cool.

And then I was able to use a brush to brush most of it off. I did have to sand and scrape some of the paint away. If you're stripping paint off of anything, you're going to have to use a little elbow grease. It's not all just going to fall off magically. Right.

So let's say you know the type of paint that was used on it. Do you have recommendations for maybe a couple of the most common kind of? Good question. So for example, every kind of paint has its own thinner, right? So I have, I don't use enamel paints very often, but I do have an enamel thinner. And that's used usually to clean your brushes, to thin it to put it through an airbrush. but also it's used to clean or remove that paint from anywhere you got it that you don't want to keep it. So I have a can of enamel thinner that I would use on those enamel paints.

I would use the lacquer thinner on my lacquer paints. I do have some lacquer paints. But also, lacquer thinner kind of tends to work on everything. It's just really aggressive. Yeah. I got this warning label. I want to read off a lacquer thing I found on Amazon. It says danger.

And then there's skull and crossbones, like jackass style, like morning style. It says, poison, extremely flammable vapors may cause flash fire or ignite explosively. May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed, eye irritant, vapor harmful, read entire labor prior to use or storage. One quarter of this stuff. So, yeah, they're pretty serious about letting you know in two languages on that front. Yeah. You best not be eating that shit. no no so so that's the the best part read that label i know it's like oh sure i don't read the manual

read the label read the label on this stuff it's super important sure especially lacquer thinner generally what they're going to tell you this isn't an excuse to not read the label but generally they're going to tell you working a well-ventilated area so don't do this in your house do it in the garage do it on the porch closet you can find no no no in your garage with a door open is a good idea or on the porch or outside or if you have a large workshop like I do with a three-story tall

ceiling that you don't want the vapors to congregate around your face that's a bad idea or congregate around anything that might spark it something else to be really careful about when you're using flammable liquids is if you use a rag to clean it up

and that rag is soaked in flammable liquids, it is very common for that rag sitting in the trash to ignite. That's a thing that happens. Isn't that weird? It's so weird. But that's just how nasty the lacquer thinner is. When we moved into our current shop, we had to have a fire inspection and we have a fireproof container that all this stuff is kept in. And that's what the guy cared about. He's like, do you have any large containers of lacquer thinner? Like he was specific. I was like, I have a small container. It's in the flammable proof cabinet. We're good to go. And he was like

right on. Good to go. Yeah. That's good to know. So yeah, that's what it takes to strip paint off of stuff. It can be really nasty, really tenacious. And being careful is the most important. I assume there needs to be, you've touched on it a little bit here and there, but you need to be mindful of

what material you're taking paint off of obviously, because if it's a certain kind of like, I don't know, crappy plastic or something or clay, sure, or whatever it may be. Like, Some of these may be too harsh and end up corroding the actual object, which you don't want to do. But if your props like wood or plastic, you should be pretty okay. Some plastics do get dissolved by certain solvents.

Yeah. Do a test on a scrap piece first, maybe. My guess is anything, any plastic that's recycled is going to have trouble holding together. So you want to watch for that. But that's interesting. Hopefully that helps you, Derek Q, let us know if that answered your question. because it's pretty interesting. Now, in the meantime, I saw you making a business card.

I did. I made a project. They're like, what? Bill made his own business cards? Can't believe it. What a shock. What a weird thing. No, no, no.

It's not what you think. So tell us what you made. So I'm probably the world's biggest Highlander fan, especially Highlander the series. And I wanted to, I fixed my laser cutter. That's the story. My laser cutter was broken. The water pump was broken.

I finally replaced it. And I needed a small project to test it. So, in season one of Highlander, the main character, Duncan McLeod, a couple times flashes his business card. You get a good shot of it. So I grabbed some screenshots. And I made, I drew up a duplicate in in inkscape,

just a little vector graphic that I was able to use on my laser to make a stamp. I laser etched a piece of balsa wood. I don't have any stamp material on hand. So I used balsall wood. And that kind of worked okay. and I was able to stamp that design onto a nice piece of parchment paper to recreate Duncan McLeod's business card. And that's it.

From now on, I'm just going to make the most obscure props I can find. It's just going to get weirder from here. You know what I love about this is that I was saying to you this over text, but I'll share it here. Eventually, the goal I think of this should be that when someone sees a wide shot of your studio or you in your home office space or wherever you may be, it's just filled with these like these uh easter eggs of you know famous nerdy easter eggs that you've gone taken the time to build and that you really have to be aware to go oh my gosh i think i saw duncan mcloud's freaking antique card thing right right yeah like i love that year too like so for

example um since i'm on a highlander tear we watched the first three movies the last three nights um and boy do they go downhill after the first one But that's fine. There should have been only one. There should have only been one. You're right. The first movie, for example, there's a scene with an old bottle of brandy that was bottled in 1783.

And I was like, ah, I need to make that now. I didn't know you're such a big Highlander fan. This is all news to me. Yeah, it just got tripped last week. We were looking for a project to do, and Britt found these old screenshots I took of this business card. And I was like, oh, yeah, let's do that. And then a week later, I'm like, let's all the watch.

I should watch the show again. I have the DVD set. I have a full six season DVD set behind me. I can see it right now. Yeah. I'm just back in completely. Are there not a lot of props from Highlander? Because I was thinking, well, I'm surprised I see you make more Mass Effect or Skyrim props than I see you make Highlander props.

But other than, at least in the first movie, other than Duncan McLeod's sword, is there another, oh, I guess the Kerrigan. Yeah, he's got his sword. I have, see, the thing is, I bought those swords. I have replicas of them already. Oh, I don't have a Kiergen one. I should get one of those, but the katanas, I have one from the show and one from the movie. And those really are kind of the big things. Yeah.

But that doesn't matter, because I'm finding the small things. I'm only going to make the small, weird, obscure things from now. I love this. I love it. Do you're going to have a mask for pardon? No, or am I thinking of something else? You're probably thinking of it's just Clancy Brown's ugly face. Yeah, it's just Clancy Brown always looks.

Like he's wearing somebody's mask, yeah. No, but you are probably thinking of episode one of the show. The bad guy, his name is Slan. He wore a mask. You probably did me of that. You know what, that show's not bad. I just want to put it out there. If you're looking for like a decent time with a 90s effort-ish, late 90s, I guess.

A really good effort, too. Especially the back in time stuff, they did a great job with the sets and costumes. I agree. That shows better than it is hard to be. The skull helmet that he wears, yeah. It's a bit like we were talking before the show, or maybe at the top of the show, we were talking about Stargate SG1 and how much I love it. And I really dislike the film, although I think there's things about the movie that are okay. But I think the TV show is infinitely better.

I feel like that's true of the Highlander show, if you compare it to movie two and forward. Correct. Because the original is great. Like, it's classic. It's amazing. It's great. But everything after that, holy, holy mother of poo on a pile. And I watch them, and I'm the biggest fan.

There's a lot to like about them. There's a few things. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but somewhere there's something alike, yeah. When you get to, let's see, the third one with Mario Van Peoples. Is that the one? Absolutely. Yep, watched it last night.

You're fresh from that hell. All right. Yes, I am. Well, done indeed. All right. Well, this is awesome. Go check it out. You can see him making this thing.

The latest video is up. I'm watching them do the press right now on paper to test it after making the wood thing. That's so cool. Oh, man. I love stuff like this. Anyway, if you love stuff like this, you'll find it at punish props.com. Bill, any bonus content this week? Yes, quick recommendation.

YouTube video by my friend Sophie Wong. If you look up Sophie Wong on YouTube, you'll find it. She made a cyberpunk jacket with 3D printed LED studs on it, and it looks so cool. Oh, that's right. showing how she did the whole thing wow so you just put the i mean i haven't watched the video yet but is she putting the fabric down on the 3d printer plate and then just printing right onto it yes that's cool it's the coolest yeah oh that's oh look at that look at the lights moving around on that all right uh-huh that's cool that makes me want to get in and see how the patched-up version of that game's

going right now because i haven't played since the problems but i've been told it should probably waited for at least one more patch yeah the 1.2 patch is supposed to be the big monster fixy thing and it got delayed again so I probably will do that. That's what I'm waiting for. But until then we can make our own cool cyberpunk jackets. That's right. And business cards if needed.

Fantastic. Bill Durand, everybody, Punish Props.com. Bill, have a great week and we'll see you next time. Later. Bye now. If you have questions for Bill, by the way, like Derek Q did, and you can send them into us. The morning stream at gmail.com. We're going to start doing these every week. So he's always got a

cool question. If you're a burgeoning maker, or somebody's like, I'm going to start an Etsy store where I do a thing. And you got a question, he knows the answers. So send them in, just like Derek Q, the morning stream at gmail.com. All right, time to get, uh, get Stephen. Gotta get Stephen. Yep. Wasn't there a movie?

I know that was called Get Carter. Get Carter. Got to get Carter. Which we would say a lot in this house. It's like, what is dinner? It's dinner. It's dinner. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, sure. That's pretty good. Steven Schleiker. Stephen Schlecker Hey, look good as Stephen Schleger from Hayes, Kansas, and Major Spoilers.com. Hello, Stephen, how are you? Good morning, Scott. Good morning, Brian. I'm good.

Oh, that's good. That's real good. I was thinking of you the other night because I was reading, what was I reading? I was reading a weird... Oh, so the the deceased line thing story? Yeah, the DC's zombies thing. Yeah, which I really enjoy

it, okay? It's throw away and silly. It's Marvel zombies, but It's pretty fun. I have a good time with it. They're not afraid to kill major characters and kind of mess with, you know, longstanding DC tropes and stuff. And I'm having a good time with it. However, I came upon an issue that was just stand alone, kind of a one-off. They, do, do comic fans still take, like, Super Dog seriously and things like that?

Like, is he called Super Dog? I don't even know what he's called. No, he's a Crypto. Crypto, sorry, Crypto. super dog crypto whatever uh this whole thing was like a monkey who i'm not familiar with apparently he's some kind of maybe he's a detective oh detective chimp chimp it's detective chimp it was him a dog a raccoon and but not like rocket raccoon style like just a regular old ass raccoon there was a horse involved and he could talk to the horse uh yeah and the horse would tell him whether he was doing

okay or not it was the weirdest effing thing and they were running away from this the DC's super animals that are there. The horse goes all the way back to oh the 1950s

that's Supergirl's Wonderhorse is a comet the superhorse The superhorse? Okay. I'm very, I have very cursory

knowledge of any of that. It's like from the lad days when everybody had a Aquilad and all that crap and it always struck me as I can't believe this exists and I know it's aimed at kids and I understand,

you know, the era it came from and everything. But whenever they do a modern thing with it, it just throws me. She's like, what are we doing? What are you guys even doing? But then it was just fun stuff. I mean, the DC's thing is, you know, like you said, it's Marvel zombies with DC. And it's, it's surprisingly popular.

But it's not in continuity. And there's not going to be any lasting repercussions of this. So you might as well have fun with, with dumb stuff. Yeah. I mean, like I say, overall, totally enjoying that. It's fun to watch like, I don't know, Black Adam is currently infected. And they call it the anti-life virus or something. something, but it's basically. Yeah, the anti-life equation. Yeah, their equation, that's it. And they're

basically all out to kill each other because it's just about wiping life out, not necessarily the old way. Like, it's an interesting take on zombies, like the idea of a zombie. It's not exactly the trope, but it plays in that space. But Black Adam got infected. And now him and a few other former heroes are really causing problems. And it's great. It's just fun to see how these guys would deal with it. What's Superman going to do? I'm at a point where Batman's freaking dead. Like they exist in this universe anymore and Damien's trying to be Batman now and that's never good. So I'm loving it. Anyway, just wanted to put that out there. It's pretty good. And the current run of, well, there's a digital first offshut, not offshoot, but it's basically

a D.C.'s dead planet. Yeah, is that it? I think that might be it. Yeah. Anyway, those come out digital day and day. And so there's just this unendend, things. I'm really like it. I guess what I'm saying is the DC Universe, no, sorry, DC Infinite app has treated me real good so far. 799 a month or whatever. That's a great buy. And again, if you're if you're someone who doesn't care about the latest, greatest stuff, then definitely jump on this because getting comics that are three to six months old isn't that big of a deal. Nope. And you'll be able to read, you know, long stretches of the comics without having to wait a month for the next installment. Yeah, that's great deal. It's a binger's a good time. And also, like I said, plenty of digital first happening there as well.

So there are some day and date stuff. But then, you know, if you want to go back and you're like, man, I'm really in the mood for Kingdom Come again. I haven't read that in years. Great. It's all there. Beautiful HD. Zoom and enhance, baby. It's good stuff.

Anyway. Oh, yeah. Especially in that one, you do want to zoom and enhance because the King of Come is Alex Ross. And you go in and there's so many. Easter eggs and things hidden in all the panels that are just, you know, tributes to the entire history of D.C. Comics. Yeah. He's just an, it's just an amazing book. If you've never read Kingdomcom, you're, you're wasting your time here. Go do that and then come back. Okay.

All right. Hey, Stephen, I heard there's a Terminator anime series coming. And this is freaking me. Yeah, there's a, there's a Terminator anime series. Or did you Netflix. Yeah, Termine. There you go. Termine. I like that, Brian. Oh, Brian. That's terrible, but great. It is terrible. Termine. Yeah, Terminay. Listen, I'm not, I'm for this. Vote me in. I don't care.

They've been pretty good with these weird things. The Dark Crystal thing worked well, right? Yeah, honestly, it was an anime, but it was like a continued property on Netflix. But in this case, what I'm excited about is I think there are other prop, you know, IPs to anime kind of conversion stuff's worked out pretty good. In particular, I really like that Castlevania series, like a lot. Yeah, that's, I forget. who the writer was on that, not Garth Ennis.

It should have been. It was kind of, who's that. It should have been bad, is what I was going to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was great. So, yeah, I'm all for this. I have no problem with this. Bring more anime to me in the form of like all, you know, other mainstream,

even Western stories like this. I don't care. It's fine. Yeah, and this is being done with Skydance, which has produced the last two Terminator films and partnership with production IG. So these are the people that are going to. set this up and then knock it out and hopefully it's really, really good.

I want that. There's also a Splinter Cell series coming? Is that true? Something like that. Yeah, there's mothers in the work. Splinter Cell series coming from John Wickrider Derek Kolstad. There's an anime spinoff of the Zach Sinter film Army of the Dead, so they're going to do the Army of the Dead movie and then a spinoff anime thing, which I'm all for this.

The only time they've kind of blown this was the recent um what was the blade runner like show that was on netflix couple seasons oh yeah yeah i don't remember what the title was but yeah jill kinnam in the first season and then yeah second season wasn't that great but then they did this anime spin-off thing and it was kind of terrible so i you know it doesn't always work but it this this works for me i'm fine whatever we do need our next season of love death and robots too well yeah man i can't wait for that when's that happening do we know not yeah we don't know they said another season's coming but uh i mean It takes a long time to do animation, but still needs to be soon.

Especially the way Netflix does stuff, they don't announce, you know, or they don't approve the next season of a show until you're halfway through the current season and they can look at the numbers and see how it is. And so that's why with a lot of the Netflix stuff, you literally have to wait until a year, year and a half later before you get anything from them. That's true. And especially with, you know, this whole pandemic thing going around, that could have easily slowed down a lot of the animation. process. Yeah, that damn pandemic and it's... I know. It sucks. All right. Here's some other good news. Halo coming to the small

screen. We've been waiting for that movie forever, but... Here's the thing. No, this isn't this isn't a movie. This is a TV show. This is a TV show that has been... People have been talking about what, for the last decade. Since probably when the first Halo game came out, people have been talking about, oh man, let's get a Master

Chief series on TV. And it's been passed around and kicked around. Then everyone's passed on it. And, finally they have announced that it will not be showing on showtime instead it is moving to paramount plus and should arrive in the first quarter of 2022 and this has let's see produced by it's still being produced by showtime but being it's airing there you're right so it's showtine's a production they have the production money anyway three four three studios is working with them they're the current video game developer behind this franchise amblin is producing also

co-producing. So Stephen Spielberg's got his hands in this. Let's see. Zubba Zubba. Zreiber is Master Chief. Oh, no way. Really? Yeah. Oh, he'll be great. Yeah, I was trying to find some casting stuff. There we go. Natasha McLeon, I like her.

We'll play two characters, Dr. Kathleen Haisley, and the creator of the Spartan soldiers and Cortana herself. This is great. I think this is a long time coming. I mean, Halo is now 20 years old. or something. 2001 or 2000, whatever it was. It was like 2002 or three, I think, right?

Was it? I don't remember when the first one came out. Halo combat evolved. I have to look it up. But anyway, that's just insane that we have gone this far without any kind of, there's been some animated stuff,

a little short stuff here and there, but that movie has been, you know, been bounced around forever between District 9 guy and who else was working on that at one point. Giromo del Toro was going to work on it. Then that fell through. Lord of the Rings director

Peter Jackson was going to do it at one point So there's been all these people going to do a Halo movie And then TV show talk to finally get it is great I'm stoked Yeah we still have to wait a year though Yeah well we'll live that long We'll be okay I think all I think a lot of it has been done to be honest And and they're just doing some of the final post work

But that mixed with current current situations Probably push some of that off for a year But you'd call that. And then, of course, they want to see how this Paramount Plus thing launches, what, this week? Tomorrow? Yeah. But is this?

Oh, is it early tomorrow? Is that tomorrow? Yeah. It's the fourth. Sorry, so that'd be on Thursday. Yeah, it's real soon. Do they have a free tier? It just automatically changes if you're currently CBS All Access, probably right? I have no idea.

That thing sounds so messed up, to be honest with it. It does. It totally does, yeah. Is it, there a free tier to it or no? Do we know? Like an ad supported or something? It says here, let's see, everything we know about CBS All access replacement paramount plus

I mean honestly as much as heat as we can give them for having all this switching around and name problems and all this stuff it's not that different than what HBO freaking fumbled through to try to get Max finally done let's see March 4th is the day that it launches it doesn't say oh they're going to have 30,000

episodes of TV content 2,500 movies 36 original series debuting this year including the revival of Frazier I'm actually looking forward to that weirdly I don't know here here's here are their plans. You can get limited commercials with one week free for $59.99 a year they're after. Yeah. Okay. So you get a one week plus $59.99. And then they have commercial free at $99.99. Plus you get to download videos and play them offline. Okay. Oh, and it does say here, and there's a $10, if you want to do monthly, $10 monthly

subscription, but that's only for a little while because they're also adding a cheaper $5 a month based here after launch that will support some advertising. So basically like the Hulu, the cheaper Hulu entry point, I think is what that is. I don't know. I need to be convinced by a few other things to pay another 10 for somebody. I certainly didn't jump on the CBS All Access as much as I like Star Trek. It was just nothing there really appealed to me. And certainly CWC doesn't do anything for me.

Yeah. So even the Picard or the Star Trek Discovery was in the pool. It did not. I mean, I'm very interested in them, but I was just like, ugh. And, of course, the CBS All Access had horrible problems at launch. If you remember, people were trying to watch a discovery, and it just kept booting them off and horrible speeds and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, yeah, it'll be at least a year before I look at anything on Paramount Plus, even if Beavis and Budhead are there. What, but the Jersey short, Snookie is on there. Oh, my, what shall... According to the commercials on the... Yeah, right, exactly. They have a lot of content here, though. I don't know.

I mean, they have to prove themselves, but there's a lot of stuff. They've got the entire Nickelodeon thing, so there's a lot of kid stuff. They got, let's see, the entirety of the Paramount Back Catalog is pretty big. I don't know. They've got, there are opportunities here. We'll see. Oh, yeah. I mean, I think it may be great, but, I mean, I think I'm at the peak of the serving

streaming services that I'm paying for. Okay, but back to the Halo thing. It seems like they're talking. about all these voices in here is this not this isn't live action then or is it it's live action yeah they keep saying everyone's a voice that's weird in the yeah well remember how in the first season of the mandolorean uh they said it was uh Pedro pascal uh and then it was just his voice for most of it yeah but it wasn't it him for didn't it turn out to be mostly him in there though or no no not the first season well who's inside of the suit of that lady that's now fired just

getting that's terrible thing to say. All right, let's move on. Tanahasi Coates, known for poetry and books and all sorts of other cool stuff, is writing a new Superman film. We're looking at a reboot there. Stephen, what do you say about that? I don't know if it's a, if it's a reboot. It's an early development. It's a new film being produced from JJ Abrams, but I guarantee you that Zach Snyder is going to be involved with it unless he totally gets the boot from Warner Brothers, which he's not. Oh, by the way,

we've got two more weeks till Justice League arrives. Yeah. Wow. But, yeah. Yeah, this should be very, very interesting because he most recently is writing over at Marvel Comics. He did a Captain America series, and then his current run of the Black Panther will end, I believe, with issue number 28, which is coming up in April. So he's got some, you know, some creeds writing some superhero stuff. And he says he's got a whole new, powerful moving Superman story that needs to be told. and he is ready to crack and get down and write that script. So nobody has been cast yet.

There's nobody been hit up for a director or anything like that, no release date. But they have announced that he's going to be writing that. Do you think they're done with what's his bucket? No. No, you don't think so. He will have his fingers in the D.C. Oh, you're thinking, you're thinking, Zach Snyder. I mean the guy, I mean the current Superman.

him his name Brian Michael Bindis No What did you say Oh you're talking to Henry Cavill Henry Cavill yes Henry Cavill Do you think he's still

I mean he could He's young and buff And Brad Why couldn't he keep doing it He's busy with the Witcher He's busy working on that Warhammer 40K Yeah

Yeah And working on Warhammer 40K stuff Building a new PC at home And making Painting his figures He's got the things to do Besides earn billions of dollars Yeah I like him

he's never been the problem for me he's never been the issue the issue is writing the issue is directing the issue is other things it's never been Henry Cowell he's great yeah so who knows I mean he may be interested in this I don't know he should be I think he did his three movies

I think he did his you know most actors today if they're coming in for a franchise series we'll sign up for three movies and then after that the truck backs up with lots and lots of money so I don't know if there's something like that in place or not but the article that's over at Variety is basically saying hey no one has been hired to play Superman yet, nothing about Henry Cavill or anything like that.

I'd like to see him. You know, I also like what's his name, Tyler Hecklin, who does the Superman and Lois TV show. He's really good, too. Oh, how is that? I heard that was all right. I was surprised about how well it, how good it is and how well they did at it. Basically, from what I can tell, they are taking heavily from Brian, Michael Bendis's run, starting with Action Comics No, 1000.

the Superman and Lois trade paperback Seems to also be playing a role in this This would have been right after Convergence That that book came out Because there's some stuff with inner gang And stuff going on in Smallville And the fact that they move back to Smallville To raise in this TV series

Two kids, which is a surprise. And so it'll be interesting to see where this show goes. Okay. Now, we can't have you here And have you then leave Without at least addressing where we're at with Wanda vision Wanda vision

How cut up are you I'm done I'm all the way up Okay So New at the final episodes This next Friday Or this week This last

And we did get a slightly longer episode this I think it was like 47 minutes Although that's not the longest episode I went Or maybe it's 41 minutes There is an episode That I think is a little bit longer than that one

And that may just be Based on all the post credits And everything Or the credits that they have to put in For all the different countries and stuff so all right I'm I'm loving it okay

loving it there is there's more poetry and heart in that last episode than then than most of TV this year

like it's just very very good I'm a little worried though that they're going to be able to sew things up in a way that there will be

there will need to be a season too yeah there's a lot going on well I mean you know you've already revealed who the big bad is and now they have to come to blows and resolve it. And that's basically, once the big bad's revealed, you do that in about

three episodes. So you've got the big bad reveal. Here's my twirling of the mustache moment where I reveal my evil plan. And then everything comes to blows and gets returned to normal. Or as Stan Lee used to say, I don't want change. I want the illusion of change. Oh, is that what he used to say? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's why he's so happy with, satisfied with any superhero will go through an arc and then it'll come right back around to poor Peter Parker is still poor Peter Parker Well he was right about that

I think that's that's there's wisdom in that It's a really smart way to do it Yeah It's just so Man it's so good I just freaking love it And The things that I like about it are

You know So we've already got the origin story Of one superhero in the form of Now I forgot any Pulsar And then we've get the the Agatha Harkness a little bit that goes on but then we also kind of get an origin story

for Scarlet Witch which we really haven't had a true origin except that she was locked up in a cage and they were pressing her powers with her and her brother in Slovenia or wherever that they were leading into that movie so she had what I like about this is that it doesn't necessarily close the door

for Magneto being introduced into the story right? Because oh she's got some powers but the with the the the struckers you know hydra's experiments amplified them so it's like okay so mutant yeah but we didn't get to see her family though before they got all blowed up we got to see what she believes are her family true it'll be kind of weird to put a cow and a guy with a red helmet in there in that episode yeah like they're never I mean it's obviously sticking to MCU rules here but it is nice to get that background and I didn't expect to see all that that that was

really cool I will admit I'm a little worried about the kids. I'm a little worried about the kids. Oh, yeah. Hope they're okay. I don't know. Agatha's a piece of shit.

Anyway, yeah. Was, uh, um, was, uh, oh my God, now I can't remember her name. Um, Photon, was she Photon for all? Because the character I'm remembering. Oh, yeah, maybe that's Photon. I just get them mixed up. Monica Rambo. Monica Rambo.

But no, was it, was it photon or was it something else that she, another name that she went by? That was really cool. She got to chuck her on the ground and she got all blue-eyed and Oh, yeah, starting to see and all the frequencies. What was it? My wife goes, that happened, that scene happened, my wife goes. That's sounding right to me.

My wife goes, it's like Jordy. What? She sees like Jordy. I'm like, oh, yeah, okay. Everything's like patterns and light and infrared and everything. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not all down on all of my Marvel hero history, but Pulsar is the only name. name I know.

Pulsar, yes. Pulsar, Photon. She's been a bunch of stuff. She was Captain Marvel for a while. Photon, pulsar, spectrum. Spectrum, yeah. Yep. Was she ever Rambo?

Unfortunately, no. She never went to, well, I guess she did for a while as Monica Rambo. But, yeah, never a character just named Rambo. No, no Rambo. There was no flute first blood or anything. No, no. Sadly. That's fine.

I'd like to see her stay on a mountain and keep the government out. That'd be cool. All right. Well, this is all good stuff. I'm very excited about all upcoming projects. We got Winter Soldier and the deal coming up soon. Oh, by the way. Yeah, like in two weeks.

So I watched a movie a couple weeks ago, and I loved it called The Devil All the Time. It's a Netflix thing. And I just missed it when it came out. But it's got like this really amazing cast, this very got gothic southern tale, pretty dark and murderous and stuff. Anyway, it's got Tom Holland in there. So you've got your Spider-Man. It's got Sebastian Stan, your winter soldier. And they have a fight.

And then, oh, and new Batman's in it. Vampire boy. Team Richard or whatever. Oh, face looks like a foot. Face looks like a foot. It looks like a lighthouse. Playing with your wiener in the lighthouse guy. Bob's in it, and it's great, because when I see movies like that, I go, oh, so Spider-Man killed Winter Soldier, so we know Spider-Man could kill Winter Soldier, but also he killed Batman, so Spider-Man wins overall because he's the gun.

I always do this. That'd be great if they were like, if those rules applied across all movies, like, well, I saw Lois Lane getting down with Batman in that American Hustle movie. so it's got to i don't know why that cracks me up but it's like i can't help it like when you saw the prestige recently recently reminded me it's all that's a batman versus everything that's batman versus warring yeah exactly scarlet witch or scarlet witch uh shit i can't think of names today you're talking about black widow you don't want to do black widow you don't want to go see uh what is it old boy because that's got banos and uh scarlet witch getting it on oh my gosh really oh my gosh no that that's bad because they couldn't she hates

him she didn't like him at all yeah she hates him yeah she did by the way really quick i said march 12th i was thinking about the marvel legends drop um those are great little vignette shows to watch for right before you watch a season so you get marvel legends on the 12th uh which sets up it gives you all the mc u back story for winter soldier falcon agent 13 and barren zimo and then a week later on the 19th you get oh it's the 19th okay that's great i'm ready bring it those are those are great for your significant other who maybe not it maybe isn't the biggest nerd to kind of give you give them that background that they might need for the show yeah well I'm in so sign me up for all these things they basically they you know I already knew they proved themselves in film but I didn't think Wanda vision was going to be as cool as it is totally totally taken aback by it and it's daring and it's dangerous and it's weird and it's hard to pull off and I don't even know how they did it like yeah and I feel well I mean I mean I I can tell you how they did it. Well, you know what I mean.

They removed Pearl Mudder from the head of Marvel TV and moved it everything. Yeah, Figgy needs to be just in charge of everything. I saw a funny Onion article, fake headline that said, Kevin Figey all upset at his mom for throwing out $3.2 billion of his cool comic stuff or something like that. And it's like, that guy is just like, you see his name and you go, oh, well, I trust this. This is going to be great. Like whatever this has got his hands on, he is going to be remembered as a one-of-a-kind kind of guy in that regard. And then someone reminded me yesterday.

I don't know where I was talking to somebody online. They said, you remember in 98 when Marvel tried to sell all of these characters to Sony for 25 million measly dollars? Wow. And Sony turned it all down because they were like, we don't think we want anything but Spider-Man and the X-Men. We don't think anything else is worth it. Yeah. What a bunch of it. They were also very desperate still in the mid-90s.

They were, but just how stupid is Sony? How stupid are they? Oh, I'm so glad. Because we'd get crying Captain America who gets, you know, Spider-Man 3, Peter Parker turning into disco-Pete. We'd get the same thing with freaking Captain America and Thor. It wouldn't have been good. It would not have been good. But imagine a world, though, where were they made that.

measly purchased, which is now worth bad things worth billions. It's so cheap. Imagine if they had sold them Michael Jackson. Yeah. Oh, that was a thing too. I forgot. Yeah, that was a real deal. Well, based on the documentary, I saw it would have been nothing but heroes in their buttholes. Anyway, yeah. So now listen, if you guys

are interested in the licensing of comic book characters, Planet Money has a great four-parter where they attempt to go and buy and license a old Marvel superhero and the process that they go through. So it's been going on the last four, weeks, I want to say, and they've got, they found a loophole on how they might be able to

do it. And then this week, I think they are actually looking at how do we take this character and turn him into something that people are interested in. I have Planet Money and I didn't know this was going on. I will now go and make sure I didn't delete it by some dumb reason because I really like Planet Money. Yeah, I want to say it's been the last four weeks of episodes has done that. It's all about this guy called The Door Man. Oh, dude. Thank you for saying this. I'm going to, oh, you know what? Since I got my new phone. There were some shows I hadn't re-subscribed to. This is one of them. There it is. We want to buy a superhero.

Mm-hmm. Oh, all right. I'm in. So you think you can buy a superhero. That's awesome. Hot new shows. Yeah, it's very cool. Very cool. Well, what else is very cool is major spoilers.com. Go check it out. All this kind of stuff and much more covered there each and every day. Stephen, any other final words before we go? Stay hydrated. Oh, yeah.

All right. Well done. Brian, in the mood for a Monday morning. mashup? Only on Monday mornings. Am I in the mood for a Monday morning mashup? Strangely enough, today's a Monday morning morning mashup, so I'm in the mood for a Monday morning mashup. What if that mashup was called Beef Bruno? Then how would you change at all?

Let's try to remember somebody's name, and I can't remember who that, who that, yeah, let's do this. All right, we're playing it. Here you go, enjoy. Oh, Crest Whaler. F*** off. We curse all the time. F*** off, Crest Whaler. What the fuck, man.

Jeez, what is that shit? What Brian's doing, maybe not as much. You know. Damn it, that's right. I burped and talked at the same time, and that was a weird. That was a weird feeling. I didn't like that. But anyway, just like freaking kale in your butthole.

Just frit, it'll be out. Do you like MASH? I go, oh, yeah, I'd love to when I was a kid. And she goes, oh, me too. I used to watch it with an 80-year-old man. I watched it with a television, but hey, you do you. It was projected on the wrinkily. back of an 80-year-old man.

I'm calling about the Jim Reeves collection. I should have said, I'm sorry. I thought this was the line for the Jim Reeves collection and see if she gets that a lot. A turtle made it to the water. Let's talk about a New Jersey man. New Jersey man. That's right. What's his power?

The ability to survive with fumes in the air and not be affected by it whatsoever, because he lives in Newark. Excelsior. How? I know I was probed. How do you know? My butt hole's three inches bigger than it was when I came here, you know, this sort of thing. You'll experience it very, very soon. Oh, oh, oh, the, I know what it is. Okay. This rhymes with Pagatha.

Yeah. There you go. Yes. I almost put an F in front of that. What was I thinking? What was I doing? Because that is like when you do a rhyming word, you say, uh, yeah, I'm going to make some dinner tonight and it's going to have some frockley or some potatoes, you know.

Right. Can we go down a rabbit hole far enough for you? They were out three inch wide or rabbit hole, yes. Second season of American Idol, somebody was really successful. Clay Aiken did better than the guy that won, whose name was. Beef, Bruno. See, that shows you. Ruben, Ruben Stuttered.

Ruben stuttered, I was close. And Ruben has meat in it. I was thinking of that. Oh, right, there you go, Ruben beef. onion what did you call him beef I don't remember now beef oh beef Bruno that was it I couldn't remember who we had

assigned the false name to but that's right your new American Idol we couldn't even remember right we couldn't remember poor Rubin stuttered even after we'd remembered his name and called him Beef Bruno yeah I mean he like if I looked him up would I get anything

here let's see Ruben stuttered it says he's He's 42 now. Oh, I didn't know he was born in Germany. He must be a Air Force brat or something. Let's see. He's currently, let's see.

Last, oh. Okay, last thing he did was 2012. Oh, no, I'm sorry. I take it back. There's 2018 an album called Ruben Singh's Luther. Oh, cool. So like covers of Luther Vandros? Probably.

Or Lex Luthor, I mean, there's all those hits. I'm going to get Superman. Yep, I've got a suit now. It's green and I'm strong in it. Superman's the worst. Although they have to work together in this zombies thing I'm reading. Oh, really? Yeah, because Lex is supposed to be the smartest man on Earth or whatever,

so they have to share ideas and stuff. What? A comic story where the superhero has to work with their greatest enemy? They all weird, right? Yeah. See you every day, you know. The, uh, was I going to say, it was another thing I was going to say. And I forgot I was going to say.

Oh, I heard an album I really liked and want to recommend it. I didn't know it existed. Me and my daughter were, just for some reason, we're laughing at each other while we were trying to remember the lyrics to kiss from a rose from seal. Yeah. Uh-huh. And I went, seal, like I do on the show. What's he doing these days?

So I looked up seal and seal has an amazing album called, classics. Oh, yes. This is a few years old. Yeah, it's not brand, brand new, but it's like one of the newer things he's done. And it's so good. And it's covers. Yeah, it's all covers of like.

Krooner covers. Yeah, and with real big, big band backing and and not, you know, not some cheesy retake or whatever. It's really good. Freaking fantastic, actually. He's put out two two prior cover albums called Soul and Soul 2, or as Tracy Morgan might call it, Sowell.

because that's what he did last night in the Golden Globes. Great. Did he really pronounce the movie Soul as Sowell? He mispronounced the movie Soul as Sowell to announce their win. Boy, that car accident hit him hard, dude. Really did. Anyway, so Seale's got two Seal.

So he's got two Sil albums and then this classics one. Oh, sorry, it's called Standards. Sorry, my bad. Standards. Lennonade corrected it. It's standards. And it's very good. And it just really was what I needed.

for whatever reason it just hit me right this weekend. I got a weird face, but it's kind of cool, too. Hey, yes. Sorry, I just choked on this mint. Easy there. I choked on a mint. Apple music and Spotify.

It's everywhere. So I'll go get it. All right. That's it for the show. Big thanks to everybody for joining us today. Go to frogpants.com slash TMS if you're looking for anything that we do. It's all there. Brian, we should leave with a song.

Do you have when we can play? I have a song that we can play that, you know, somebody will like. This guy will like Steve Blythe will like it. Greetings, Scarlett and Buckeye. In 2002, I moved from Ohio to Florida to begin working for a certain rodent-related entertainment company. I'm sure it was Rat X or... Yeah. After 18 and a half years of dedicated service, my career was cut short as I was caught up in the more than 30,000 layoffs the company made due to COVID-19. After a very stressful job search, I was able to land a great position, only a short drive from my hometown and minutes from my son and his family back in Ohio.

I'll be driving up the weekend of February 27th and start work on Monday, March 1st. Great. That's today. In honor of this move back home, I was hoping you could play some variation of the, of my city was gone by the pretenders. Your show has been a source of laughter and happiness for me during the very stressful and depressing months of unemployment and I can't think of a better way to celebrate my new start than with you guys.

Thanks for all you do, Steve, Ziv's dad. Do you know Ziv? ZIV? Yep. I don't. It's not ringing a bell. Me neither. Well, this Steve is his dad.

P.S. do you think it's too early to get a fish sandwich? No, never. I never think it's too early, so I have to play it, though, if I can find it. Is it too early? Why can't I find it? Oh, right here. Hey, too early, get a fish sandwich. There you go.

You got to mark that one, red. There we go. Too early, get a fish sandwich? So this song probably, very notably, is the song that Rush Limbaugh used for years as his theme song for his show. And sadly, nobody covers it. Like, I don't have any covers of this song, unfortunately. But I do have another great pretender's song that I think. will apply because you're you're going from no job to back to a job so you're kind of going back
