Starting point is 00:00:17 Uh, situational situation. Taylor Monkey Joy. Crouching tiger, hidden hangover. Guess the Canadian. Breaking Pop-Tart news. Efficiency like the Germans. Beef Marines. Making Things with Bill.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Major spoilers and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. I guess those three were no much for you. Let me be your opponent now. I eat guys like you for breakfast. Hmm, all right. I'd be unstoppable in this baby. The morning stream. The morning stream.
Starting point is 00:00:50 The morning stream. The morning stream. The morning three. Morning three. How about it? a booby. You know, the guy's got talent. This is the morning stream. Good morning, friends and neighbors, and welcome back to the morning stream. It is Monday, April 19th, 2021. Scott Johnson here, Brian Abbott there. Good morning, Brian. Good morning, Scott. We were worried that you weren't going to have a good day today, but look at you all bright and bushy-tailed or whatever the phrase is. Yeah, I'm even standing up, although, that was a last minute decision.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I was really just prepared to be seated for the whole episode today. Sure. Yeah, I got my second jab yesterday. Moderna shot number two and knocked Tina out for like a day and a half, right? The morning after she got it, she woke up and it was like she had flu symptoms. Sure. I've got a headache. I'm a little sluggish today.
Starting point is 00:01:55 And also, this is something new. I'm kind of short, I have shortness of breath. Oh, yeah. I noticed when I was taking some computers to ship out up to the upstairs, basically moving from downstairs to upstairs. And I was a little winded when I got up there. That's no good. Well, it sounds mild, though, like it's not too, too harsh. No, it's mild.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I'll be honest. It was part of me that was saying, you know, it just would be nice to have a day, just lay on the couch. I almost, I thought of that. I'm not, you know, I'm certainly not going to say, oh, Scott, I'm not feeling if I'm feeling just fine. Well, I'm sure the audience is grateful that you made that decision. But I would have supported it anyway, because it's a cool idea to just lounge around for once.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. Claire says, are you sure it's not a hangover? Well, I'm sure I didn't drink anything last night, but those damn Elks Saturday night were buying me gin and tonics. like there was no tomorrow. I will say, for the record, I'll say. Brian sounded a little, not inebriated, not hungover, because you're not really one to sound very hungover.
Starting point is 00:03:12 But you did sound like a guy that had a night happen before on film sex. Yeah, when we were on film sack. Yeah, well, then I hit it well because I had all those things. I had such a bad hangover. I was nauseous. I woke up and threw up in the middle of the night. Oh, man. Yeah, I was so good.
Starting point is 00:03:31 I'm glad I held it well enough. Yeah, you did all right. To not sound too bad yesterday morning. I was a little worried about that. I was like, you know, because we usually do film sex on Saturday morning. I was thinking, all right, no problem. You know, I've got the Elks thing, but I can just sleep in because I knew I knew what was going to happen. Oh, by the way, I'm not a member of the Elks.
Starting point is 00:03:55 You were there as a guest or something. I was there as a guest. I was there really running the audio visuals for my buddy Chris Brown, who performs or performed at their annual awards dinner. He's the one that beat up Rihanna, right? Do I have that right? That's the right guy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Great guy. That's the guy. Have you met? If you haven't met him, one of these days, I just got to have a picture taken with the two of you and have him like doing a half Nelson with a fist or something. I thought he did. I thought we did, but maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but I thought there was one of the Vegas trips
Starting point is 00:04:27 or maybe he was there. I'm wondering if he was there for one of the Vegas trips. I have a vague memory of you saying, hey, it's my friend Chris Brown I always tell you about and me going, oh, cool, it's going to finally get to me. It's something about that happened, but maybe in my head. I don't know. Yeah, so anyway, that was just there running. He has a PowerPoint slide presentation that goes behind while he's playing to like let people know
Starting point is 00:04:50 the titles of the songs to, he had an in-memorium section. It was a video of Elks that had passed away in the last year. Did a lot of Elks, you know, find the rosy road. Four minutes of Elks passing. But it was just names. It wasn't like a little video montage like you see, you know, pink singing hallelujah, too, at the Oscars. Yeah. Well, you don't want that.
Starting point is 00:05:15 That's right. That's coming up this Sunday, too, the Oscars. Oh, my gosh. Is that already here? Who are they going to forget in this year's in Memorial? Yeah. Who died that they'll just completely blind? off. I can't wait to find out.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Right. Exactly. So hold on a sec. So when you're there, what I'm trying to imagine is like the demographic. I assume it's like a lot of old dudes, right? It's a lot of old dudes. A lot of old dudes and ladies. Okay. And I thought it was a men's only kind of an arrangement. Oh, no. No. And they even had
Starting point is 00:05:45 awards for quote unquote elk ladies. Oh, elk ladies. Yeah, exactly. That kind of gives idea of the setup. But no, it's, you know, it's probably God, it's, it's more than
Starting point is 00:06:01 two-thirds, one-third women. You know what I'm saying? Like it's... Not 50-50, but you know. Right. Three-fifths men, two-fifths women is probably where I'd go. Well, Brian was very quick to correct me because I sent him a text and said, I said, where's your fez?
Starting point is 00:06:18 And he goes, you're thinking of the Shriners. That's not what this is. I'm like, right. Exactly. These are the guys that wear antlers on their head and have a funny handshake. Sadly, neither which are true. Yeah, I mean, I would join if they, if they wore antlers on their head and had a funny handshake, that would be. Yeah, my, oh, that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Wikipedia says J.C. C. C. Cahoon family in 1995, all the way up till there, they were men's only. 1995. That's crazy. I didn't realize it was that, uh, that recent. Jeez. Yeah. Never been to any of this sort of thing. So I have no, I have no, like, bearings on it.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I don't know what these things are like, but you clearly do. and they gave you a lot of booze, and that's good. Yeah, they do. They're, you know, this group, at least the one that Crazy Neighbor belongs to and Chris Brown is the bartender for. This group is mostly about just helping the community and doing things in the community. They don't even really push the religious agenda, which is like one of the top things in many Elks clubs. But, no, they basically go out and build stuff in the community. do fundraisers for charities, things like that.
Starting point is 00:07:26 They're actually, I mean, they're, you know, they're not what I expected when I heard, uh, crazy neighbor was, uh, joining the Elks. Yeah, I always think it's just old people on scooters. Like, I don't know why. Right. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Like really old, really old people on little,
Starting point is 00:07:44 whatever those called, there's a name. What's the name? Uh, rascals. Rascals. Little rascals. Rascals. All right. Riding the little rascals. Um, so got my job. Yeah, but right before my jab, I had my first experience eating an In-N-Out burger in Colorado, yeah. In Colorado. I've had them in Utah. I've had them in Vegas, of course, I've had them in California. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:07 But this is the first time because they just opened up or they just started having these out here in the last couple of months. And they made headlines, right? When the first one opened and there were 14-hour lines to get a freaking in-and-a-out-out. Burger. Yeah, not worth it, by the way. If you have to pack two meals to wait in line to get one meal. Yeah, it's effed up. Like, that's just heft up.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You don't get out of that line. If you're in that line, don't be in it. Wait until things smooth out. Don't be one of those people. That's ridiculous. It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And it's, you know, I mean, it's, it was still an hour long wait from the time we got in line.
Starting point is 00:08:45 The way they had it set up, they'd taken over the one section of the Aurora Mall parking lot, shopping mall parking lot. And. Good idea. You imagine those long shopping mall parking lanes. Cars, you know, nose to butt all the way down one of those lanes. Seven of those, seven of those lanes. And people directing you like you're parking for a motley crew concert.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Like, all right, yeah, you get in this lane. All right, you come here this way. And then one at the front who's going, all right. Now, lane one, all of you come with me. You're going to the drive-thru. And, dude, that's peeing a cup line. is what that is. Well, not for an hour.
Starting point is 00:09:27 And I'll be, I'll be honest. I mean, in and out's good. It's fine. I don't like their fries as much as I like other restaurant fries. But there's a Freddy's. There's two Freddy's within 15 minutes of where I live. Yeah. I'll take Freddy's just about any day of the week over in and out, you know?
Starting point is 00:09:47 I would too. Yeah. And Freddy's doesn't have a giant line. So just, you know. Freddy has no giant line at Freddy's. and their California Freddy's is kind of like an in-and-out cheeseburger. It is. And that's what Kim always gets.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And we had Freddy's this weekend. That's funny you bring that up. But they are, yeah, the hype is real. And in-and-out has a reputation. And the one thing they do have that nobody has is like the most efficient freaking, I don't know, it's like they're Germans or something. Sorry, Germans. But they're so efficient and so like super hardcore, like, focused on you,
Starting point is 00:10:21 getting what you need, when you need it. even with lines like that, like it's something to be admired. But, you know, when it comes right down to it, if you blind tested me on five burgers, it's not going to be in my top three. It'd be in there, but...
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah, it'd be among... I mean, if we're talking just fast food burgers, like not throwing Red Robin or Smashburger into the mix, but everything five guys and faster. Right. Right. I guess actually five guys and Smashburger, probably along the same lines.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I'd put I like smash a lot Yeah I'd put Smash burger Freddy's I'd put five guys in there I'm a five guys guy I like the burgers
Starting point is 00:11:02 Would you? Yeah I like their big big freaking sloppy With everything on it things Oh man right now I could eat that Oh we don't yeah
Starting point is 00:11:10 We still don't have a habit out here Or at least I don't think we do Unless we've gotten it Habits pretty good Um Habit gave my wife Her first tooth problem ever Do you ever talk about this
Starting point is 00:11:21 She broke a, she cracked a crown, or not a crown. She doesn't have any crown. She has perfect teeth, including all of her wisdom teeth. They all came through. So Kim has just a glorious geography of teeth. And they're white and beautiful. I've never heard that term before, and I like it. A glorious geography of teeth.
Starting point is 00:11:39 She has amazing teeth. None are crooked. Never had braces. Didn't need them. Just perfectly formed. No cavities her entire life. You know, a lot of, what do you call in the water? What do you get in the water?
Starting point is 00:11:51 Chlorine? Chlorine? What is this? What's it called? Whatever it is. It's, uh, oh my God, it's what's not in water in the UK. Fluoride, gosh, dang. Fluoride, yes.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Right. So they have that whole fluoride thing. Well, if you're in a pool, you get chloro. Sure, sure. But everybody who's anti-fluoride, man, Kim's got teeth that'll tell you otherwise. They're just amazing teeth. But anyway, she went to a habit one night. I was with her.
Starting point is 00:12:15 And she bit down on, you know how sometimes beef's just going to have like a weird bone or something? You know, a little nodule of whatever sort of thing. Bit down too hard. Cracked her rear molar. Hurt like hell. Went in. Oh, geez. Got it, had it fixed.
Starting point is 00:12:32 That's what the crown was the other day because this thing wasn't holding. The fix wasn't holding. So she got the crown on it. And it sucks because perfect teeth, one little problem caused by a piece of beef at the thing. We were just talking about the place, the habit. So now every time I think about the habit, I go, oh, tooth broken. So I can't go to the habit anymore. It's all about teeth there now.
Starting point is 00:12:54 You know where I need to go back to and give another shot is burger fry. I don't know what that is. Never heard of that. It's, uh, it sounds like what, you know, the, the, the, the, the beef army or the beef Marines say, burgerfi. Yeah, burgerfi. Um, you only know if you're in the Marines, though. It's a secret burgerfy. That's right.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Yeah. Uh, let's see where the closest one goes. Burgerfi is like the joke is at the tie-in? I don't know. I don't know where the, I don't know what the FI, the FI means. Could be Semperify or, I don't know. Yeah, there's just one left. It's on Broadway in downtown Denver, 13 miles away.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Might be worth it. But then there's Lubbock, Texas, Leewood, Kansas, Mesa, Arizona, Tempe, Henderson, Nevada. I'm in. Yeah. No, no Utah as far as I can see here. We'll get it eventually. All restaurants lead here eventually. It's just how it is.
Starting point is 00:13:50 That's right. We have too many kids to feed. Everything will open here eventually. But Biggera says, you should try McDonald's. I think they're in Colorado now. Yeah, there is. Sadly, McDonald's is the closest fast food restaurant to me. And even so, I won't go there.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah. Oh, I will. I got a quick recommendation. I don't, I prefer Taco Bell over Del Taco. Yeah. However, Del Taco now has. one of their, they have the cheap beef burrito, kind of entry level, you know, value burrito things.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Entry level, yeah. Entry level burrito. You know, there's maybe a move for, you know, it's an intern. It's, you know, it's the intern of burritos. Yeah, if this goes well, you might get a paying position, but you never know. But yeah, these, they make these entry level beef burritos that are, that are as good, maybe a little better than the same, the equivalent thing they have over at Taco Bell. So I will say that for those guys.
Starting point is 00:14:47 And also, they have better fries than they should. For some reason, a place that shouldn't even have French fries has them, and they're pretty good. The burger they make there is bad. Aren't they, uh, tater tots, or do they have those separate? Uh, that's a separate thing you can get, I think. Oh, no, no, no, that's Sonic. Or am I thinking of, no, not Sonic? It's another one of the Mexican restaurants that has, is it not del taco?
Starting point is 00:15:09 Now that you say it, maybe they do have both. Maybe I could choose. Del Pepitos or something like that. Del Papitos. Del papitos. If they'd have some goof. be named. That's not Tater Tots. Del Papitos.
Starting point is 00:15:24 I hope that's not real because I'm going to use it for something. Anyway, well, there you go. Our food, our fast food, our shots, and our Shriners visits. No, not sure. That looks funny. That's what I meant. Hey, I got a quick thing I'd tell you about it would crack me up. Last night at about, oh, I don't know, 7.30. What time we get home from Taylor's? We had to watch the baby. It's a little later, I guess. I think it was dark out. It must have been later because we got home later. Anyway, we're out, we're, I'm in the bedroom and I'm just kind of getting some stuff situated and that's not a euphemism.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Getting stuff situated in the bedroom. Hey. Hey. What do you say we get some stuff situated? So I'm in there and I hear outside the door or outside my, my window on that side of the street is the rear entrance of one of these townhomes kind of next door to where the Tesla guy is. This may have been Tesla guy actually. I don't know. But I hear somebody, a door open, some rummaging around, somebody clear their throat, a garbage can get moved from one part of the garage to the other.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And then I hear the most distinct and renowned sounding like that. Like the biggest rip-off fart of all time from this guy. Now, that's fine. He thinks he's alone. There's no one there to report the offense, you know? Like, it's just him farting outside of his thing. But why do I feel like I want to say something? And I don't mean like, could you stop farting?
Starting point is 00:16:57 I don't mean like that. I mean, I just want to say. No, he's what I want to do. I want to say, I heard you last night. And that was awesome. Well done or whatever. Like, I don't want to rub it in. I just kind of want him to know that I see you.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I saw you. I know what's up. Yes. I should have started clapping, says TV, Travis. Yeah. Well done. Well done. The German judge gives it a 9.4.
Starting point is 00:17:23 I'd give it an 8.5. Not the best, but pretty much not the worst. Well done. Yeah, I felt, it just felt like a moment of connection. And I don't even know who it was. So look, what am I going to do? Go door to door and go, excuse me. Did you fart last night in your garage?
Starting point is 00:17:38 No? Okay. Moving on to your next neighbor. Thanks. None of that's going to happen. But just so you know, I guess the lesson is, you think nobody can hear you. But we live in a.
Starting point is 00:17:49 a society, as George Costanza once famously said, and you're going to get hurt. So, fart wherever you want, just know. You may not be alone. All right? Yeah. Or you may not be alone for long. That's the other problem is like going off into an unpopulated aisle in Target to maybe let one rip.
Starting point is 00:18:08 The second you do that, someone's going to come around the corner with their kids in their basket and have to drive through your cloud. Yeah. They're going to have to go right through it and their mouths will be open. exactly i guess i'll have masks on yeah maybe it'll be better i don't know yeah keep those for now they will keep those masks on for other reasons now brine you've written down here speaking of farts uh pop tarts and p b and j uh yeah before we get to that one real quick uh taco johns potato olays are what i was thinking of not del taco but taco johns has potato
Starting point is 00:18:40 olays which are oh lays potato olays looking these up here taco john's menu the original potato Olay's. Yeah. The original. Yeah, it's what it says. Often duplicated. Never.
Starting point is 00:18:54 But never, what's the word? How's like it? I don't know. What is the best of that phrase go? Often imitated, never replicated. Oh, a little round bites.
Starting point is 00:19:02 It's cooked fresh sprinkled with our signature blend of boil spicy. They're like, uh, they're like little hash brown cater tots, but discs. You can dip them in guack. Oh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:15 You can dip them in anything, Scott. Caso. Guac. The calories are so bad. A large order is 860 calories. Holy shite. 860. Often duplicated or often imitated, never duplicated, says J.C.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Calvin. Is that the phrase? That's the one. Yep. Got it. Nailed it. All right. So let's talk about Pop-Tarts.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Because on Friday's TMSPM show, that's right, you non-Patrons, we talked about things that maybe you're interested in on Fridays on TMSPM. I talked about the peanut butter and jelly Pop-Tart sandwich. Now, Kellogg's Pop-Tarts came out with a PB&J Pop-Tart, which has peanut butter and jelly inside the Pop-Tart. But a few years ago, someone came up with the idea and did videos, and it was on Reddit for a while. I looked it up when this came up this morning.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And this was kind of a thing to put peanut butter between, the two pieces of pop tart or the two pop tart uh tarts the two tarts the two tarts yeah the two tarts yeah a favorite lord of the rings movie by the way yeah i'll like that zack out especially if you've get the that that's that galvanakis uh series between two tarts is right between two tarts yeah excellent show and then have it as a sandwich yeah and i could have sworn the only reason i think i've heard about this was on tms and so when somebody says i don't know what bryn's coming up with with this Pop-Tart BB&J business, but... Did we talk about this a long time ago then?
Starting point is 00:20:50 I want to say we talked... This was a thing that spiked in popularity around 2013, and I'll bet you we talked about then. Although TMS mashups, who I believe is even in the chat room right now, doesn't remember any mention of it. And if there's anybody that is close to our content to be able to say, yes, you discussed this in episode,
Starting point is 00:21:12 blah, blah, blah. it would be TMS mashups. Yeah, he's the closest thing we have to like a comprehensive database of the shows. He really is. I believe, I believe him when he says that. It doesn't ring a bell for me, and it's also something I've never tried, and it feels like something I would try. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Would have tried back in the day. Yeah, I would have tried it. I don't know if they have sugar-free pop-tarts these days, but... I don't know. I did... Oh, dude. They're called bread. I totally failed the no-shug train this weekend.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Not hard, but enough to feel a little bad. a whole donut. There was a box of Krispy creams. Don't ask me why those were here. Somebody brought them by or got them because they have vaccination cards and got them for free. I don't know. But there it was sitting there. And I'm like, someone's got to eat that thing. Someone.
Starting point is 00:21:57 No one's here. No one's here to tell me no. And I ain't it. Dang, yeah. Now that I've gotten my vaccination card, need to go. The closest Krispy cream is just as far as the friggin' in and out burger. It's down the other end of town. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:12 They have long lines, too. Which is probably a good thing for me. Here's what you got to do, though. First go to Office Max and you get your free lamination of your card. Yeah, well, I've got a laminar. Of course I have a laminar here, Scott. But I do have a, I do have a laminar here. And if you didn't get a 3D print one, just 3D print your own laminar and then
Starting point is 00:22:31 and then laminate. One of my clients bought it for me because at the time I was doing a whole, a whole party invite thing for her, and she's in Florida. but she bought this thing for me. He's like, all right, well, can you do, you know, do these cards? I don't want to actually have them professionally print. I'd rather, you know, save the money. Have you print them? I'll pay you time and money and labor and expenses. And I'll buy you a laminator. And I'm like, oh, yeah, sure, no problem. So.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Nice. Sat there and laminated a couple dozen name card and invitation things. I can't think of too many uses I would have, but having one around is all right. That's cool. Right. Now, BioCow brings up something that Tina mentioned. also yesterday. Actually, a bunch of people, RVJ3 pops and recline.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Don't laminate your actual vaccine card. Laminate, if you're going to laminate, make a good photocopy of it and laminate the photocopy because, number one, you've got two spots down there for boosters. Yeah. That may need to get at it, especially if, you know, Pfizer already popped in and said six months for now,
Starting point is 00:23:36 all the Pfizer's got to get a booster. Is that, I heard that that wasn't confirmed. I heard that the six-month thing is just basically, well, we know the vaccine lasts for six months because six months ago, people started getting the vaccine and they still have antibodies. But we don't know how long those antibodies will last. That's true. I guess they had some data. It was stuff that went around the internet over the weekend, but I don't think any of it came from an official source.
Starting point is 00:24:04 So this is the official thing. Pfizer CEO, this is on CNBC. Yeah. Pfizer CEO said third COVID vaccine likely needed, hold on, likely needed within 12 months. So it's also possible you need to get vaccinated against the coronavirus annually. That I think we were, you know, that was already kind of out there. So when he says likely, that's not a confirmation of yes, 100% for sure, but it sounds like they are, their data suggesting that maybe a booster and, you know, 12 months might be what you need. Yeah, there was, there was, um, the, the news had, uh, something about that, you know, uh, there's a lot of talk going around about the needing to get another shot in six months. And our verify team went and did the research and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Right. I don't know about the Johnson and Johnson thing, although that's still kind of all up in the air. That's on all. Yeah. Still on hold, unfortunately. Yeah. I guess Justin got his from then, them and nothing. He's all right.
Starting point is 00:25:00 So. Mm-hmm. Good. Yeah. It was like, a really small percentage. of people that had any problem with it. Lennonade's right, though. It will have the firmware upgrade in it, so you don't have to...
Starting point is 00:25:10 Right, to upgrade your RFID chip? Yeah, you won't have to download anything. It'll just be in that injection. It's like an on-site installation. You'll be fine. Yeah, no internet needed, so... Right. So anyway, so don't laminate your actual card.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Make a good copy of it. Laminate the copy, but keep your actual vaccine card untainted. untainted or Untainted. Under, you heard Brian right. Put it under your taint. Yeah, under your taint. That's where I keep mine.
Starting point is 00:25:43 It's there right now. Taint free. Taint free. Nothing's free. It sure taint. All right. We're going to call done away. We're going to have some fun with him and it's going to be great.
Starting point is 00:25:57 It's a little babbling at all time. Yeah, I promise. I swear it. I swear it with all that I can swear. Here we go. Yes, that's right. That's familiar music means it's time for us to play Babel Royale with our old pal Brian Dunaway, who's on the line right now. Hello, Brian.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Oh, hi, Scott, and Brian. How are you guys doing today? Good, man. Just super. You? Excellent. How about you? Oh, well, I'm trying not to stress out over a brand new thing with my body.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Thank you, buddy. Oh, no. What's going on with your body? What's going on with your body? Do you want to tell us? My shitty eyes. Oh. Are you getting? You're getting just the kind of tired eyes and you've got to use the readers, or what's the deal there?
Starting point is 00:26:42 I don't know, man. Like I said, all of a sudden this morning I woke up, I'm doing my thing. And now I'm starting to notice when I look either to my left or right, if I look quickly, up down, in the opposite corner, I'll see like a quick flash of light. It's like an arch. Oh, I know what that is. I'm like, I look it up. I'm like, what is that? Glockoma, some kind of inflammation.
Starting point is 00:27:04 They don't know, but I've got to go see the eye doctor. And, of course, if you're, you know, us artist and gamers, it's like, oh, my God, if I lose my eye, I will just die. That would be it. It's a horrible. It's a horrible idea. But I had this very thing, and I'll bet you they'll tell you that. What did they tell me? Stop poking yourself in the eye, Brian. Well, for me, it happened after the cataract surgery, so I can't remember what the cause was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:32 But it was a very similar thing. I also received a sleeping wound about a week ago whenever I was sleeping. Someone's elbow come flying at my face. That eye could be related to that. It could be that. Yeah, it could be that. And you're not seeing big floaty blood clouds or anything in your eyes, right? No, good Lord, no.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Just this weird, I feel like I'm in a JJ Abrams movie. I keep seeing lens flares. You get a lens flare. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, hopefully it's nothing and it all goes smoothly. and that you'll be able to join us here on Babel Roy Al in perpetuity. Because right now we have a listener on the line who's going to participate with us today.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Let's find out who it is and why they've been so patient. Hello, who's this? Did I ever tell you guys about the time I called TMS? Well, it almost sounds like Randy. For a hot second, I thought it might be. Yeah. I don't know who this actually is, though. Who is this?
Starting point is 00:28:25 This is Vincent Manucci. Oh, it's Vince. Oh, it's Vincent Minich. Dude, that was a pretty good Randy Deluxe impression. I don't even know what to say about that. That was really good. I've been working on it, workshop, and it. Yeah, it's really good.
Starting point is 00:28:37 A&TP Season 3 contestant, Vincent Minucci, on the line. That's right. Yeah. Professional in his own right, a hell of a gamer, and a good friend of the program. He also has a lovely head of hair. Just kidding. That's a terrible thing to say because he doesn't be shaving. He's like Brian.
Starting point is 00:28:54 You want to come up and smack it. Anyway, hey, well, Vincent, it's good to have you here, dude. We're going to play a game. Brian's going to explain the rules and what you occurred where. That's right. I'm going to be giving Scott and Brian a topic. They're going to go back and forth, giving me answers. That fit that topic. If one of them gives a wrong answer, repeated answer, they take too long to come up with an answer. The wind goes to the other player, naturally. Vincent, your job is to predict who's going to come out on top based on the topic. Today, you're playing for a couple of games from Weisle. Speaking of being an excellent gamer, how about you play a couple of games of Imperator Rome, Deluxe Edition, or, or and, Darksburg. Nice. Dirksburg. Is it Imperator?
Starting point is 00:29:32 I think it's Empirator. Imperator. It's right next door to No Lightsville. All right, cool. Games, video games. I know Vince likes video games. Right, courtesy of Steam and courtesy of listener Wesley. Thank you, Wesley.
Starting point is 00:29:47 All right, so you need a topic, though. And this topic comes to us from Paul Kavanaugh, who says, we're all familiar with the Hollywood Walk of Fame, right? All those stars that really requires. so much to be nominating to get your own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I mean, it'll require anything but money. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:30:08 15 grand or whatever. Walk of rich. There's also a Canadian Walk of Fame in Toronto, Canada, or I'm sorry, Toronto, Ontario. Okay. As of April 2021, there are 34 celebrities included
Starting point is 00:30:23 on both walks of fame. So people who would be both on the Canadian and on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. ranging from silent movie era stars to people from people hugely popular today. I didn't think they got into movies in Canada's until the, you know, the 50s. What? But here's, you know, just think who's Canadian, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Yeah, that's going to be, I don't think it will. That's what I was going to say, yeah. It won't be as hard as we think. I think this would be pretty easy. May not, may not. We'll see. Vincent, now that you've heard, and I'm going to give you guys two Mulligan's beyond your first guest
Starting point is 00:31:00 Mulligan. How's that? Wow. All right. I'll take it. Because, you know, some of these might be tough. Vincent, now that you've heard the topic, who do you think is going to win? And who would you like to go first?
Starting point is 00:31:14 I think I'm going to air with Scott for the win because I think he watches a lot of Canadian produced television. I do. He does seem like the type to me. Yeah, yeah. And he's not
Starting point is 00:31:28 a story one bit. I'm not sorry at all. No, not sorry at all. Yeah. Yeah, so I'll go with Scott for the win and Brian for the start. Okay. All right. Very good. Brian. Okay, I'm going to go right up in front. I just watched a interesting documentary with Jim Carrey, and I know he's Canadian, and he's pretty popular in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:31:51 I'm going to say he's at both places and it's early on. So if I get a mulligan, let's go. Yeah, let's use that first guest mulligan right away. Surprisingly, Jim Carrey. even though he's Canadian not on the Canadian Walk of Fame or maybe he's not on the
Starting point is 00:32:05 Hollywood Walkers We don't know which one it is We just know they're not on both He's not cross-referenced on both Okay so there goes my whole Canadian They're famous I'm guessing it's because he's probably An actual naturalized U.S. citizen now
Starting point is 00:32:19 And I'm guessing it's L.A. that has him That's just my guess. I could be wrong. Yeah, Jim Carrey does not have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Oh really? Not pony up the money for that. According to the rap.com. Yeah, but he does have one on the Canadian watcher fan.
Starting point is 00:32:34 All right. Well, you got that wrong. Now you have to immediately go again. Oh, do I? Yeah. Yeah, that's the way. That's a stupid rule. All right, fine.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I'm going with Dan Aykroyd then. He's a classic. He's older. He's a little safer bet. Dan Aykroyd both in Canada and also has used his liquor money to purchase himself a walk of fame. I love how all this extra padding is somehow going to make the answer more. It's very good. It actually is super, super helpful because
Starting point is 00:33:02 second one, wrong? Yeah, not. Oh, my God. Hold on, hold on, hold on. No, I'm going to say that that is incorrect because I'm looking at I'm looking at photos right now on Google images showing that
Starting point is 00:33:17 Dan Aykroyd is both, I see a Hollywood Walk of Fame star and I see a Canadian Walk of Fame star. Dang it. It's a no-brainer. I'm going to double check all of your answers. Okay. Good job.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Thank you. I noticed we're kind of in the comedian zone here as far as so far all our answers have been big comedians. One of the great exports of Canada, I believe, are comedians. So I'm going to say, let's go with Mike Myers, maybe. Mike Myers. That's a good one. That is a good one. Actor, comedian, and ogre, Mike Myers is on both.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Nice. The Canadian and American Hollywood Walk of Fame. Hollywood. Well, if we're going to go with We're going to get There's going to be some S&L Alums there So I'm going to go
Starting point is 00:34:03 I'm going to go with Much missed Phil Hartman How about that? Phil Harmon's a good choice, yeah Phil Hartman Has a star on both Yes Very nice
Starting point is 00:34:15 Very good I would never have guessed that one I also thought he was not Canadian So I don't know why Oh totally Canadian You'll get a Canadian Good Guy vibe from him I mean I do
Starting point is 00:34:25 But I don't know I just thought we once or all We get lucky down down here and have a nice guy. Okay. Boy, his wife sure sucked. I guess she was from here, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Let's see. Boy, that one caught me off guard. I don't know why I didn't think that was going to happen. All right, let's go with, let's peel away from, I guess it's S&L adjacent, though, but it's music in this case and also, well, whatever. Let's do Paul Schaefer. Paul Schaefer. Paul Schaefer.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Paul Schaefer. Hey, David. I'm in double check because this list does not show Paul Schaefer But he's in the world's most dangerous band Yeah How is that? Well, he was
Starting point is 00:35:08 He isn't now Yeah, they're just the world's most band I'm checking, I'm checking He does have a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame I don't see one for the Hollywood Walk of Fame now One mulligan. You guys are both down, one mulligan. Okay, so I go right again here. There you go. Right again.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Let's do William Shatner. That was a good move. Sabat. Sabatish. Always forget that. Absolutely William Shatner has stars on both. Nice. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Very good. Well done. All right, Dono way. It's on you. All right. So we both used our first mulligans, right? No, no second or third. Oh, Brian was his, yeah, used your, used your first guess. That's what I mean to start.
Starting point is 00:35:58 You still have two mulligans, yes. I still have one. Okay, then I'm going to go with Michael J. Fox then. Michael J. Fox. Yeah. Doc, where am I going to get a star on the Canadian Hall Walk of Fame? Yeah, of course, he has them on both. I'm going with all the tragic figures.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Why am I doing that? I don't know why you're doing that. He's not that. I wouldn't call him tragic as much as I would. Perseverance, man. That seems awesome. you go there is that you're right you are correct well I call
Starting point is 00:36:26 that wrong yeah he's uh he's awesome um oh man I why do I feel weird here now um let's stop touching that and you'll feel better about it Doc Brown in the chair room says good impression Marty
Starting point is 00:36:43 I've done Marty uh huh um well I speaking speaking of Marty that gave me a hint Let's say Martin Short. Oh, I didn't think about Martin Short. That's a good one. He was pretty big in Canada on SCTV.
Starting point is 00:36:59 There's Martin Short, I must say. Does he have a... Oh, my, yes, I must say, Andy. Dude, nice to love Ed Grimley. Ed Grimley was such a great one. Martin Short, yes, he has a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame, but... Oh, no! He does not have a star on the Hall of Rock of Fame.
Starting point is 00:37:16 You're kidding? I would have guessed he would have. He actually... Here's what's funny. Martin Short has two stars on Canada's... Walk of Fame. I don't know why that is. That is hilarious. Is one of them for one of his characters?
Starting point is 00:37:28 Because that would be fantastic. Oh, like if one of them was that Grimley? Yeah, I don't know. Because he played it like it was a really different character. Yeah. I'm curious. Let's see. It doesn't say why. It just says Martin Short has two stars
Starting point is 00:37:42 on Canada's Walk of Fame. Okay. Yeah. Go again. All right. Go again. Now I feel pressure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:53 All right. Well, I know he's Canadian born and he couldn't be more of a... I mean, he's gigantic. The question is, would he have gone ahead and had one in his home country of Canada? So I'll just say his name. Okay. That's my last one, right? It's my last...
Starting point is 00:38:09 Well, if you don't get it, then this is your last... This is my thing. Don't half it up. All right. The director James Cameron is from Canada, but I don't know... I don't know what his stars are going to be. Jimmy Cameron, working on Avatar 12 right now, I believe. Yeah, James Cameron has stars on both of the Halloween.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Oh, he didn't walk to fame. Nice. He had to. He's huge, international, man. You're going to have stars in every country that has stars. Exactly. Oh, you're all confident now. Now I feel great.
Starting point is 00:38:41 30 seconds ago. I don't know. I don't know. Do you have your coffee porn music candy, Scott? I don't know if I do. No, I don't think I do. Dang it, sorry. I have it somewhere.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I don't know. Okay, I'm going to stick with... Trouble, Micah. Sorry, go ahead. That works. I'm going to stick with not tragic figures for 400. I'm going to go with John Candy. Oh, crap.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Both Canadian and American and or... That's a little tragic. He was taking it way too young. He was taken too young. That's my theory. It's like, you know, someone who died probably had, someone memorialized them in both locations with a star, whereas you'd have to be a little bit of an egomaniac to have at both places.
Starting point is 00:39:29 And that's not typical Canadians. That's not. He has a star on the Canada Walk of Fame. He does not have a star on the Hollywood Hall of Fame. That's your first of your two vanilla. Right. Vanilla. Vanilla.
Starting point is 00:39:48 But you must come up with a guest right away. Okay, so I've been staying with actors mostly And some of those that kind of bit me in the butt I have one more actor But I just don't He's become very popular No, I'm not going to do it
Starting point is 00:40:01 I'm going to go with I don't think Scott's said this Michael Bubbly Bubley I'm going to go with Bouglay Is a famous person Both in the Canada Indian Americas
Starting point is 00:40:13 Michael Bubele Has a star on both the Hollywood and the Canadian Baltimore Wow, I would have never guessed that one. That's fantastic. Really? Yeah, that's really good.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Not tragic at all. Actually, it just seems to be amazing. Tragic because of his new commercials for that. I have one more tragic figure that I would like to do, but I just don't know if he's... Yeah, well, don't get got any clues. Right. All right, well, I'm pretty sure. I am so morbid.
Starting point is 00:40:48 What is wrong with me? Yeah, what are morbid? I'm pretty sure this dude is Canadian. I just heard an interview where he mentioned something about it. So I'm just going to say probably Ryan Reynolds has a star. Oh, that's... Where did he have one on the Hollywood? I think Canada would, but I'm not sure if Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Well, you just shut up and we'll find out. Ryan Reynolds has stars on both. Oh, get out of here. Near Miss. That's great. well done all right just because I don't care if I'm right or wrong national treasure
Starting point is 00:41:26 that man yeah I don't look okay well there's one that's kind of a safe one but I don't know if I want to go with the safe one um okay I'm going to go with the Encino man Brennan Fraser
Starting point is 00:41:42 Brennan Fraser's Canadian Fraser what are you going to say because he's had such a hard he's had such a that's a churned life has he? I don't know Renner Frazier's had a hard life I know he had kind of a rough
Starting point is 00:41:58 a rough time between like the last time he was a huge yeah I mean he got involved with all this you know sexually abused and Hollywood and yeah you know there's a time when you couldn't you couldn't avoid the guy yeah he was just he wasn't the
Starting point is 00:42:13 but for the record he didn't assaulting anyone somebody assault no oh yeah yeah I'm sorry yeah if you didn't know that. Yeah, he's too nice. Yeah, he's a nice guy. Uh, yeah, Brennan Frazier, no. Uh, oh, that's coming. I'm sorry, let me see where he does if he has either. Um,
Starting point is 00:42:32 that's, it's such a crime. Because he does have a Canadian walk of fame. I mean, just remember people, this is a walk of fame for knowing, you know, for being famous. It's not for being, you know, you know, it's not like you won some kind of yeah, right, right. Right. Right. No, you have a higher chance. By the way, you watch Doom Patrol.
Starting point is 00:42:48 and Brian Frazier. Oh, yes. Yes, I have seen that. I've seen a few episodes of that. It was excellent. Okay. Is it my last mulligan or my time? That was your last now.
Starting point is 00:42:58 So he has one more. That was your last mulligan, so you need to come up with an answer right away. Yeah. Right away, going back to music then. Because I feel like musicians, especially Drake, I think if he didn't buy his own star, I would be shocked. I'd be shocked. What's the, Degracy?
Starting point is 00:43:16 You never call me on your telephone. Yeah. The grassy junior highs, Drake. That's right. Yeah, that's the one. That's why I'm in. I don't show Drake on either. What?
Starting point is 00:43:29 What? He's a mega star. I mean, you can't walk down the street and say, you know, Drake. My mom knows who Drake is. Come on. I'm not seeing Drake at all on either of the walks of fame, which means Vince and Manucci is a winner. Yeah, look at that, dude. Not this as well.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Yeah. A winner winner, too. Chicken dinner. I got a couple of guesses. Can I do a guess? I was going to say Justin Bieber. So he did both. No, that was on my list too.
Starting point is 00:43:56 In either location or just America? Neither. You know what? That's a good question. I don't know. How about Eugene Levy? That's who I was, I was like, he deserves one, but I just don't know. No Eugene Levy.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Who was your other, you were going to say there was another, Bieber does have a Hollywood, but not a Canadian wife. Who is the other tragic figure you were kind of holding in your pocket? Chad Kroger. Just kidding. no that was brandy fraser that's who i was because i was like he said yeah because he's ran with such a bumpy yeah uh let me run down the list here brian adams has stars of both paul anka raymond burr raymond burr uh pierre cosette seline dion
Starting point is 00:44:38 how do we not think of david foster wait she's rich Canadian yeah she's French Canadian yeah uh David Foster Robert Goulet Lauren green Monty Hall Norman Jewison, Rich Little, Guy Lombardo. Howie Mendel. I didn't think of all the old comedians and stuff. Yeah, Louis B. Meyer, Eric McCormick from Willing Grace. Lauren Michaels. There's your another SNL.
Starting point is 00:45:03 That's right. Gosh, dang it. Leslie Nielsen. Oh, really? Ivan, rightman. Oh, wow. Yeah, should have guessed that. Oh, so. How about Jason Reitman?
Starting point is 00:45:13 Says that Drake is on the Canadian as of 2011. Oh. No, Jason Reitman. Rush is on. both rush oh rush you can do whole groups you can do whole groups max senate norma shear
Starting point is 00:45:25 both donald and keifer Sutherland oh yeah here's the one I was expecting either of you to say Alex Trebek oh of course that would have been the tragic one
Starting point is 00:45:36 of course right Janaya Twain Jack Warner and Faye Ray she what got held by King Kong I didn't know she was Canadian yeah I didn't either a little shout out to Colby Smolders who was Canadian but
Starting point is 00:45:48 I assume it does not have a star in both places, but we all look at it. Does not in, yeah, it doesn't have in both, but let's see here. Kobe, smolders. Yep. Smolders. Cody. Does not show either. Oh, well, she's got, you know, she's early in her career.
Starting point is 00:46:08 She probably not focused on getting, you know, walks of fame done. Give her time. She's awesome. I got a question. The director, what's her face in the MCU? Wait until she gets her own movie in the MC you initially get it. Yeah, there you go. I still a little confused on the Walk of Fame because I know it's something you purchase into, but don't you have to qualify and other.
Starting point is 00:46:27 You do have to qualify, but to get it, you have to, you basically are paying for the upkeep. So it's a monthly charge to just have somebody go and scrape gum off of it. And it's like 15. We gave you a trophy. We're keeping it outside and you've got to maintain it. Yeah. I read somewhere it's like 15 grand a year or something like that. Or maybe it's less or more.
Starting point is 00:46:47 I think that sounds right It's going to be a hard pass for Brian, thanks anyway. Yeah. So I just flipped back to the chat and they say no Keanu was Keanu Reeves Canadian? That's not correct, is it? I thought he was born in like Lebanon or something. When you say it
Starting point is 00:47:03 now I'm kind of like questioning. Isn't he like I thought he was Hawaiian, no? But his parents were Hawaiian? Maybe he's so nice, he's a spiritual Canadian. He does have he does have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star but I show no Canadian walk to fame star.
Starting point is 00:47:19 All right, a quick search on IMB says he was born. Hold on. He was born in a crossfire hurricane. Now I can't find him. Gosh, damn it. Well, oh, it says here, Kim Coats.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Oh, I like Kim Coats. He's cool. You ever seen paper? It's that guy. You ever seen paper? A reminder that's on Netflix right now, so if you haven't seen Waterworld, now's your time. Oh, here it is. Keanu Reeves, first name means Cool Breeze. over the mountains in Hawaiian was born September 2nd, 1964, and Beirut, Lebanon.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Oh, that's why I was thinking about these. He's the son of Patricia Taylor, a showgirl and costume designer, and Samuel Nolan Reed's a geologist. It doesn't say where he was... I mean, if you're born in Lebanon, I mean, you would have to be born. Okay, so what? That's just you move to Canada and then you're... Not necessarily. I think we're making up stuff now, but yes, I mean, we're just clarifying. You don't have to be born there. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Oh, that's interesting. I found a little note about him. I didn't know. He writes left-handed, but shoots a gun or performs all other actions with his right hand. In all of his movies. Give me some actions. In like real life. Like so he's, he's not fully ambidextrous. He's riding with his hand but does everything else dominantly with this hand.
Starting point is 00:48:35 He stabs olives with a fork with his right hand. There you go. Nailed it. He was also considered for the role of X-Men's Wolverine in 2000, but Hugh Jackman got it. Oh my gosh. That would be such a different world. Yeah, it's not a good call. I am the best and what I do, and what I do isn't very nice.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Shink, shink. I am an FBI mutant. Does it hurt? Yeah, it totally hurts. Every time they shoot out of my wrist, it hurts. All right. Well, we did it. I should probably, hold on now.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I've lost my place. Did I lose Vincent? Nope, he's right here. Vincent Manucci, congratulations. How do you feel, dude, with your big win and your smart pick? How does it feel? I feel great about the win and the smart pick. Physically, I feel terrible.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Oh, that's no good. You're not a little under the weather today or what? What's going on? No, actually, I got my second shot yesterday. Oh, you too. All right. Good, good, good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:33 My daughter or Pfizer? Moderna. Yeah, my wife got Pfizer. I got Moderna and, yeah. Moderna in the house. Yeah. Yeah, pretty severe back pain at the moment. Well, hey, I feel you.
Starting point is 00:49:46 My thing was all just as tired. Sounds like Brian's similar. I think what Brian did is he had a bad enough hangover that it made anything else to seem normal. So exactly. Dudeos asked me yesterday, she says, So, do you think you feel this way because of all your drinking or because of the shot? Does it matter? She's making a fair point.
Starting point is 00:50:04 And I said, shut up and let me eat my in and out burger in case. He got to soak up that excess alcohol. Exactly. That's amazing. All right. Well, Vincent, all you got to do is send Brian an email. Overville at gmail.com and he's trying to say something oh did I miss something sorry go ahead I was just saying you know they do say to be well hydrated before the shot yeah yeah you know
Starting point is 00:50:27 they just never specified not gym at times yeah they don't yeah there's plenty of hydration and tonic sure that means to just pickling I mean isn't tonic basically tonics basically water just with sparkly in it quinine and uh then soda water yeah pretty much yeah we've just justified it the quinot yeah quinine oh yeah the quinine oh yeah the quinine oh yeah the quinine oh yeah the quinine Nine. Never forget the quinine. Sounds like a race in Star Trek. Anyway, send Brian an email. Coverville at gmail.com.
Starting point is 00:50:52 He will hook you up and congratulations and well done. All right. Brian Ibbott hooking me up. That doesn't sound. Oh, come on. You want the hookup from me. All right. I get you the hookup.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Yeah, he'll give you the hookup. Hey, look at this. Donaway, look, here's the deal. You and I, we do a little indie game show, and we call it the boop show, and it's on Tuesdays. And this week is really no different because Tuesday, tomorrow, at 3.30 Mountain Time, we'll be doing a live version of that show. It's also on a podcast. If you want to hear about the latest and greatest in indie games, both development and games we're playing and reviewing, that's the place to get it.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Do you have anything else you'd like to add to that or anything else before I kick you out? Absolutely tonight at 5.30 Eastern time. I will be playing my Boop Show homework part two of Slormancer. Oh, I picked that up as well. Oh, that's great. Yeah. Slormancer. You can pick one of three classes and hack and slash your way through to more slorm.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Yeah. It's cool. And you can spend that slorm for upgrades. Think of it as Diablo, pixel Diablo with a couple of twists. It's pretty cool. It's pretty rad game. We'll talk about that more tomorrow as well. Brian Donovan, I have a fantastic day.
Starting point is 00:52:13 As well as you. Don't see any bright lights. Bye. All right. I really didn't have that happen, but I don't remember what the cause was. I think it may have been like post... I didn't want to scare Brian, but that's what Tina had when her retina got detached. That may be what it was.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Oh, that is what it was. They were worried. Okay. So it wasn't detached, but it was loose or something because the surgeries... The surgeries has created pressure in your eyes. Oh, right. And the pressure can cause retinal tearing. And so they wanted me to be real careful with it.
Starting point is 00:52:42 And it ended up going away. But that flash thing was like, that. And then when I was 14, I did have an actual retina rip free during a wrestling match with this fat kid on my trampoline. And I think he listens to the show. He's not fat anymore. He's really? Okay. He's a nice tall, normal looking. He's not any more he doesn't. As kids, he was definitely the big kid. But anyway, he
Starting point is 00:53:08 we wrestled, he detached my retina. I didn't know what that meant. But I experienced some of those symptoms and also big clouds of blood in my vision. oh god had to go in and get it fixed yeah it was that was 14 is all that's stupid anyway eyes eyes are important if you want to see they need them take take care of those damn things yeah and for our blind listeners and i know we have a few i don't know how you guys do it but you have nothing but respect from me because i don't know how you do it i think it's amazing it's really incredible people who were blind anyway hey that's it for that let's uh take a break when we come back we'll spend some time with our good old pal bill and uh he's got things to say and talk about so we'll talk to

It's been a good week. Has it been? That's good already. Got my, well, I mean, compared to between now and Monday, not just today. Good last seven days.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Last seven days. We got our first round of vaccine. Yay. You and Britt got them together? Yeah, yeah. Well, we have to ask the default question. Which one did you get? Pfizer.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Pfizer. All right, we got to go back in a few weeks. Yeah, the Germans. And you go back and then you get another one. and maybe we not get another one in 12 months. I mean, basically, I was talking to Kim last night, my expectation, or, you know what I'm just going to go ahead and assume this, and then if it's less than this, great.
Starting point is 00:58:37 But I think it's just going to be like flu shots. A booster. Yeah, every year you just get one, and it's that, or we spread a deadly disease that kills a bunch of people. So let's just go ahead and get the boosters. And if they can figure out how to put both the flu shot and the COVID shot in the same vial, then let's make that happen.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Can we make that happen? just add all that to my morning Flintstone's vitamins and I'll be all set put those in the Dino's right yeah it's time for another Dino by the way so I just got something from Greg what is this Greg sorry this is it a Walkman yeah Greg from
Starting point is 00:59:15 Walkman in the chat just sent this link now is this us talking about the peanut butter and the Pop-Tor? Did he find it? Well maybe we're about to find out so this is we interrupt this making things with Bill said for breaking news breaking news everyone Oh, it is.
Starting point is 00:59:30 All right, here we go. Let's play some audio. It's taking forever to load, though. I don't know why. All right. There's a brown sugar one, I think. There is a brown sugar one. One of the most popular flavors out there.
Starting point is 00:59:45 That's the one. That's the one that, oh, you losing my voice? Just for a second. Just for a second. Now you're back. You're back. That's the one if you want a really good friendly Weight Watchers friendly sandwich. You take two Pop Tarts.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Oh, my gosh. them and then put peanut butter and jelly on them. You totally did. Wow. Is that from TMS? Brian Dunaway is in there. It was TMS, but you were in Vegas. Oh, that explains why it sounds like I'm in a...
Starting point is 01:00:11 Yeah, and that's also why it sounds like I'm hung over. So there you go. Yep. I was also fatter then, so that makes me happy, actually. Yeah, what was the year on that? 2013? No, I'm sorry. Oh, 20, yeah, 2019, so it wasn't that long ago.
Starting point is 01:00:24 2019, I was at my fattest, so. uh that was before i stopped the shug see that's that's that's how it was the babel royale that was on we started talking about oh because i think the babel royale was uh pop tart flavors yeah it was the whole thing so we did have this discussion it wasn't just in your head it was totally absolutely thing that happened all right good yay i'm not crazy i just can't remember when we did hook on on film set yeah nobody can um all right well bill thanks for enduring that All right. Let's all the time we have, Bill. Thanks for a... Bill, let's get to it. Let's talk about the making stuff this week. We didn't do any specific questions from the listeners. Although if any of you ever have any, please do send them in via email. We'd love to get them and love to have some of your thoughts about what Bill could address on the show, especially if you're a burgeoning young maker yourself and have, you know, need some ideas and such. We're happy to give it. But Bill, today, it's all you. What are we doing today? oh yeah well today i wanted to i wanted to talk about our shop our workshop where we build all our stuff
Starting point is 01:01:29 we work out of a commercial space we've been there for almost three years now um the last year of course being in the middle of a pandemic it's a good time uh so anyway we signed a three year lease which means our lease is almost up and we've had to decide if we're going to stay there or move somewhere else and we've learned an awful lot over the last three years and we've learned an awful lot over the last three years, I figured that I could share that. So we've decided to move. We're going to move out of this big, fancy,
Starting point is 01:01:59 cool commercial space. The main reason why is it's really expensive. It's in an industrial area near Seattle. Rent and electricity are pretty expensive, but also repairs. We're responsible for a lot of the repairs
Starting point is 01:02:15 and the heat broke twice, you know, and some reason every time the heat breaks costs $1,200 a fix, you know? It's just one of those things. It costs basically, it's like paying rent three times that month when you get all this stuff. How's your super? Yeah. They're fine.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Like the place we work, we work with that everything. They're great. They're fine. It's just the arrangement is, you know, with the heat breaks, we pay for it. If anything in the outside of the building breaks, they pay for it. It's all part of the deal. But a lot of stuff inside broke that I didn't have any control over. And it's just cost that I had to eat, you know?
Starting point is 01:02:50 sure um and i expect that to happen again if we let's say we sign another three year lease i expect hey they're not going to charge me less for rent it's not how that works uh and also there will be more unexpected expenses and i didn't want to um take that chance again yeah uh but also when we moved in there that was kind of the dream the dream was to sort of um build out our team fill that space uh hire people to like film and edit more but that just never really happened. We got caught up in the day-to-day grind and putting out content
Starting point is 01:03:27 and we never really expanded our team. We also never really quite made enough money to make that big leap, right? Got to that critical mass where we could afford to hire like three or four people to really, really build out the team. It's just never really quite happened. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:43 So instead of trying to keep pushing that rock uphill, let's say, we're going to move. We're going to move somewhere where we can save a little bit of money. Not a bad idea. It's always a big thing, though, because you're talking heavy tools and massive chunks of stuff and all your excess parts and pieces and materials. And like, you're just saying this gives me a slight headache and I want to go lay down. It sounds like a lot of work to do it.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Yeah. Well, we've already moved our inventory of books, which is between 3 and 4,000 pounds. I didn't weigh them all. Right. We rent a storage unit So we can keep our inventory there We don't have to fill our house with with books For now we are moving most of our shop back into our basement
Starting point is 01:04:27 With the goal to eventually buy a place And this will allow us to save our money The additional cost of the shop The other thing to remember This whole time we've had a shop we've been paying rent at We've been still paying rent at our house So now we'll only pay rent at the house at least for a while and be able to pocket some of that cash.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Yeah, that's a good idea. Whenever you can do that, it gives you a little buffer, and then the new place, if you know, you have a similar deal where the power goes out or whatever, the heater breaks, you'll have a little bit of something to cover it if you need to or whatever. That too. Also, though, there's, and I wanted to kind of do a,
Starting point is 01:05:09 what did we learn from this little bit of experiment thing here? The, anytime anything broke in that shop, So, for example, the front door lock broke in our expensive commercial shop. Arleys specifically had me sign of things saying I would not do any work on the shop, specifically the locks. Specifically, a couple things with the locks. Now, I can replace a lock. It's not that hard. I don't need a locksmith to do that job, right?
Starting point is 01:05:41 I could do it, but I'm not allowed to. So a guy showed up, worked on my lock for half an hour left, and it called. cost me like $450. Like, right? It's just a laundry list of those things that I could, was not allowed to do that I totally could handle. Whereas if it was my place, I'd be like, yeah, I'll fix the lock. It takes me 10 minutes.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Exactly. It costs me like 20 bucks, right? It's just for anyone who's considering leasing a commercial space, an office too, you don't have to be a big workshop or anything. Just know that the terms of your lease will dictate that. sort of stuff. And again, we knew all this going into it. We ran over whenever that least really, really well. You just don't expect the rent to break two winters in a row. You don't expect the lock to, we had our locks changed when we moved in. We had new
Starting point is 01:06:31 locks put in. I didn't expect to have to fix one of those locks, you know, a year down the road. You don't expect any of these things, but they're going to happen. Right. And it's really important to remember everything you do in that commercial space costs five to ten times more than you would do it at your house. Yeah, that's true. I mean, there was a point in time, I guess this would have been maybe 2014, maybe 13,
Starting point is 01:06:58 where I was considering doing this, getting space someplace, and having an office somewhere that wasn't here and that I'd have to commute to every day and all that stuff. And I ended up not doing it, and I'm glad I didn't do it for a couple of reasons, and mostly it has to do with kind of what I'm doing.
Starting point is 01:07:13 It's different than you or a lot of other creators who you know need specific almost industrial space and that sort of stuff um but my biggest my the thing I'm gladdest about about not doing it was I don't have to I mean the only contract I have is with the city there's I have a business thing that I have to maintain all the time but then there's just the house you know what I mean so so if you can if you can do it if you can swing it then that's you know then that's probably the answer for some people and and if you need more or you just try to make the best decision you can. And if you need something better, you move out and do it again.
Starting point is 01:07:52 I just think about all the shit you got to move. It just keeps coming back to me. Oh, Scott, I've been thinking about it too. Yeah. I have a lot of lists. Yeah, I mean, you'll do great because you're good at that stuff and you'll organize it well and it's not going to be the worst thing ever. But all my friends that are in this sort of stuff,
Starting point is 01:08:10 Andrew Smith, who's the amazing sculpture artist who lives here near here, still listen to the show I think so hey Andrew if you're listening anyway he's got this like farm area and a barn just full of metal sculptures and parts to make more metal sculptures and it's tons literally tons not just us saying the word tons but tons of equipment that would have to move if he needed to make a move like that and I just I guess I finally understand why some hoarders don't want to do anything you know what I mean like like you just look at it all and go well what am I going to do with this Where would I even start? Yeah, it's permanent.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Like, it's just here. It's part of the land now. Anyway, so I guess that's off to you for even the idea of, like, us moving house right now is just, I sound like, I sound a bruise there for a second. That was weird. Moving house. I did want at some point to have an actual Coverville studio somewhere, but basically the benefit would have been, it was a place where the bands that send me music, the labels and bands that send me music, could actually have someone come. to the studio space and do a live interview
Starting point is 01:09:20 and perform a song and we'd put that all on the show. But, you know, every time I think about getting space and how much that would cost and what the benefits are versus everything else and commuting and all that, I'm like, nah, I'm happy down here in the basement.
Starting point is 01:09:36 So I don't have a place for a band to play if they came here. Although we've made it work a couple times with same sex Mary. Yeah, but there's also just something cool about there's a physical space that you can go. Yes, right. Coverville Studios, the actual Coverville Studios
Starting point is 01:09:52 and what I would really have liked, and this is never going to happen because it's just too damn expensive now, but downtown here in Salt Lake City there was a place where the bottom floor was all like retail or gallery space. I think right now it's even a gallery. So it's just an art gallery down there. But there's like a reception area
Starting point is 01:10:08 and you can buy paintings and, you know, all this. And then up the stairs is this beautiful, renovated, incredible apartment on top of this thing. just gorgeous and it's right in the middle of downtown beautiful location all this stuff if i had the 5.6 million dollars it cost to buy it right i'd consider it because what an amazing thing have a bunch of like public facing cool stuff down there whether it's art or like a little like live podcast studio arrangement or something downstairs you know this is all pre-covid i'm thinking but but then living up there in this other place which just be
Starting point is 01:10:44 amazing. If I had just $10 million burning a hole in my butt, I would just spend it and just do that. Because that sounds amazing. I don't really need it, but I would totally want it. That would be so cool. I don't have $5 million, everybody. That's what I'm saying is I don't have $5 million. I'll tell you that what we're kind of feeling right now, too,
Starting point is 01:11:02 especially spend a couple of years saving up. For us would be to find up a house we could buy, maybe not as close to Seattle as we are right now. There isn't a ton of room, but also houses near her or like half a million dollars and up so but to find a place nearest to Seattle
Starting point is 01:11:21 with like a barn like you're saying your buddy Andrew has a barn where you can just keep all the stuff that's really what I want. Yeah. But my house I want a barn nearby with all my tools in it where I can go in there and make all my stuff. Yeah that'd be amazing. So it's kind of the tentative plan
Starting point is 01:11:36 now although really I'm not thinking too much further past moving all that stuff in my basement but once that's done we'll start working on the next goal. Are you going to sell a bunch of that stuff? Like, are you going to try to, like, not downsize,
Starting point is 01:11:52 but you know what I mean? You've probably got some access that you've been probably needing to move anyway. You'll sell a bunch of that, yeah. I have some stuff we'll be getting rid of, probably just giving away to local friends. Yeah, that would work. When you have a big space like that, people will give you furniture. You don't have to pay for it.
Starting point is 01:12:08 We ended up with so much stuff that people were just getting rid of for free. And now I have to get rid of it. Yeah. We have a lot of furniture to get rid of. Yeah. Well, good luck with that and all the sundry eBay side cells and everything else you may end up having to do to get where you want to go.
Starting point is 01:12:28 But I think in a way it's also kind of exciting because, you know, change means sometimes that's good. It's going to be good. Like I've been planning out and building out the shop in the basement. We're rearranging a lot of things. It's going to be really, really nice. It's going to be very safe. That was our main concern. The basement is 100 years.
Starting point is 01:12:44 old and not really safe. So we're going to do it really safe. But I've been having a lot of fun planning. I made a little scale model of the basement with little cardboard cutouts of all my tools so I can place everything. Is that true? I love that. Is that true?
Starting point is 01:12:59 Oh yeah. Oh, dude, you should make a video about that. Are you doing that? You should do that. Actually, I made a video for our patrons. That's amazing. I'll send you. I'll send you a picture. I love miniature bullshit like that. It's so much fun. That's how I plan out where you're putting everything. It's brilliant. It's legitimately useful. It really is. Drawing is one thing and
Starting point is 01:13:18 you know, hooray for everybody who can draw stuff, but actual little miniatures for everything. That's great. Very cool. Did you make a little version of you or just use like an action figure or what? Just a little silhouette of me and Britt. Oh. That's adorable. All right. Well, progress on that forthcoming and we'll hear how it goes for you, I'm sure, in the coming months or weeks maybe. a little side bonus content here from you today perhaps absolutely our friend yaya made a new costume she made a video on how she built the whole thing
Starting point is 01:13:53 it is lady dimitrescue from the new resident evil the tall lady tall vampire lady everyone's gaga over I don't I don't quite understand the the hype over that character I get that she's oh really I mean I don't know I mean, she's just a tall vampire.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Sure. You definitely like tall ladies. You'd be married one. But like there's something about, I don't know. I just, to me, it's just like, oh, a tall vampire. She's a zilf. I guess a zilf. I guess she's a vilf.
Starting point is 01:14:26 I don't have the, I guess I just don't have the, the, whatever it is. Whatever thirst is happening with that lady, it's not. Yeah, I don't know what it is either. But it is funny how that character just kind of blew up. Oh, yeah. And she's about to be real big, because that demo hits in one. what, two weeks or something or a week? Yeah, it's going to get crazy.
Starting point is 01:14:44 And so, yeah, I mean, the costume, including she's got a huge claw hand, like Freddie Kruger thing, but only super long claw things. Yeah, so she made a prop, a dress, mostly is the prop of the dress, but yeah, good video. As long as that game doesn't have a lady with a beehive in her crotch, I'm good. Because that last game, ooh, man, didn't like fighting crotch lady at all. All right, go check that out. That's Yah, yeah, ham on, or hand, rather.
Starting point is 01:15:10 am on YouTube and of course the YouTube channel Punished Props and PunishProps.com where you'll find all of Bill's great work. Bill, have a fantastic week. We'll see you next time. Bye now. See you Bill. Okay. That's cool. The costume looks amazing. The very last section of the YouTube shows her heming up with a great background around her too. Yeah, I was going to say, where's that? That looks like in the game. That's crazy. Yeah, like some sort of weird speakeasy I forgot who's buying this for me, but somebody's already promised to send me this game. Nice. That means I have to play it.
Starting point is 01:15:48 You have to play it online. Yep. I'm not looking forward to being terrified again. And there's no grandma this time, right, chat? Can anyone confirm? There's no grandma. It's sneaking around in her wheelchair. Does it show up in the sewer or whatever?
Starting point is 01:16:01 That's not happening. F that game. Gosh, dang it. Well, really gotcha. It did. Bad. All right. Major spoilers time.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Even heading on in. Yeah. Oh, wait. Yeah, there he is. And he'll be coming in here where we can talk to him about stuff. And we're going to do that right freaking now. Steven Schleiker. Steven Schleiker.
Starting point is 01:16:26 Hey, look who it is. It's Steven Schleiker. Again, from Major Spoilers.com. He comes on Mondays and we talk about pop culture, comics, and more. Hey, Stephen, what's up? Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. People ask, is it cheaper to live in his Kansas?
Starting point is 01:16:38 Not really. Oh, really? Oh, I would assume so. I mean, we have a big house, but in our neighborhood right now, homes are going upwards of 350 plus. Yeah. Okay. I mean, if you want to buy a dump down by the college, you can get one for $70,000.
Starting point is 01:16:55 We used to be, I don't know, we used to be like always in the middle. Like nobody, we weren't, it wasn't like super cheap, but it was never over expensive. So when the rest of the country would experience booms, we would kind of stay in the middle. And when everybody else would bottom out, we would. stay kind of in the middle. And right now, that's changing because so many L.A. people are flinging and moving here. Not just L.A., but California in general.
Starting point is 01:17:19 So us in Texas are like the two big boosts of people moving out of California. And as a result, all the housing prices here are just skyrocketing, which is good for our value. And when we bought, we paid $3.50. Now it's worth like six something, maybe? Yeah. It's ridiculous. Yeah, so the cost, they don't build houses very quickly here. They kind of build them on demand, although the neighborhood next door house is going crazy with homes.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Yeah. But we have been got about the same cost of living as Johnson County, Kansas, which is one of the more expensive counties to live in in the state. Yeah. It's over by Kansas City. For those of you that aren't Jeannie or other people from the Kansas City area. I guess it just depends on what you're, you know, where you're at. Like, there are places in the country now still where you can get, you know, as big a house as like we're, I was teaching. and Tom once because Tom's house is a pretty normal rambler style, you know, L.A. home.
Starting point is 01:18:13 If you were to buy that thing outright, it's like $1.8 million in California. Same house it cost you like $1.70 somewhere else. Oh, yeah. Look on YouTube. There's a lot of channels that do tours. Ennis is one of, I forget what his last name is, but just do a search for Ennis and house tours. He does these super expensive mansions and just, you know, literally a mile away from any location. And the housing prices will fluctuate anywhere from, you know, $20 million in one place will buy you a little small three-bedroom house and then $20 million up in Encino or something will buy you, you know, like 25 acres. Yeah, it's like buying a real estate in New York or something. It's stupid.
Starting point is 01:18:54 Yeah. It's stupid. And I don't know what the upper limit is, but it feels like we're always reaching for a new bubble. And there's just whether it's like however long it likes to get there. If anybody wants to live in Western Kansas and Hayes, you know, more than the mayor. here. All the welcome to come here. If you want some free land, if you want some free land, go way out into Western Kansas, Colorado border. And they just give land away for free. They don't want it over there. Yeah. Well, they just want people to move to the to the area. They're so desperate. They're
Starting point is 01:19:22 like, we'll give you acreage if you just move here and homestead. Here's two acres. Build your house here and don't pay for the acreage. Yeah. I get that. That happened sometimes. Well, they happened for a while in some parts of central and southern Utah, but now that stuff's all. It's all growing too fast. I don't like it was what I'm saying. I'm old. I'm old. Don't like change. All right. Hey, I don't like it. $0.72 a gallon. Hey, my understanding is, okay, a couple things. A lot of happen today. Oh, yeah. Kind of. Sheng Chi touched trailer dropped. Yep. I got some, I got a quote and some news from, oh, you know what? I'm just going to play this because this needs, this needs playing on this show of all shows that we do here. Hold on a second. Let me get back. Okay. So this is the great filmmaker.
Starting point is 01:20:07 George Miller. He did a tiny press conference. It's very short. And there are... Gosh, wonder what this could be about. For some reason, Chris Hemsworth's behind him. So don't know what this means yet. But here's what he says.
Starting point is 01:20:22 Let's just hear it. It's not playing. Why? Why aren't you playing? Okay. This is the worst internet of all time. Let's see. Why?
Starting point is 01:20:32 I can't get this to play. This is fantastic. All right. Let's go back here. Let's try it again. again everybody don't worry don't worry we're almost there yep just just keep yourselves together here it is now i'll play it okay well i didn't set out to make a big epic movie that's his story i wanted to tell but as it turns out it just got a lot of their different scenes i mean
Starting point is 01:20:59 the one thing i can say about it the the the fury road happened over three days i mean screen within the film happened over three days and two nights this is a saga happens over many years so there's a lot of different elements to it but that's all I should say okay so he doesn't drop much
Starting point is 01:21:22 but he basically lets us know that this Furiosa thing is not a three day you know in the world sort of event and that it spans a bunch of time what that tells me is that we may get what's her name Charlie's their own in there after all.
Starting point is 01:21:37 Making appearance at some point. Yeah, right. They make a big deal about how she's, you know, it's tailored monkey joy or whatever her name is the whole time, but it's not. Taylor monkey joy. Dan Wally, don't you yawn in here. I'm going to kick you out of this chat room if you yawn at me again, buddy.
Starting point is 01:21:54 Don't you freaking do that. I'm talking about Fury Road here. This is sacred ground in here. Knock it off. All right. Everybody can reset their counters. Yeah. Oh, here's Chris Henworth.
Starting point is 01:22:03 Let's see what, let's see what Hemsworth says. he is here. All the opportunity to be able to work on an iconic franchise such as Matt Max and with iconic filmmaker. Okay, so he is in it, but we still don't know what he's. We don't know who he is. My guess is he's whatever, stand in for, for Mad Max. I'm going to run Barter Town.
Starting point is 01:22:21 Yeah, maybe he'll run Barter Town. Maybe he's Blaster and Master will be a little tiny guy, a little Peter Dinklage on his back. That'd be crazy, though, that would be. Yeah, anyway, sorry. So there's that, that drop. That was number one for me. and then today this uh we got the trailer for shing she she ching chi uh happened uh you get your your dude there from uh things i can't think he was yeah from uh kim's convenience
Starting point is 01:22:48 yeah which is sadly over now i'm sad that that's over but i am too i love that show um anyway he he that looked good that looks great yeah that looks like a good trailer to me i looks like a good marvel movie i'm into it and yeah very very exciting now if it if they're following kind of what more recent comic book stuff is, and maybe some of the older stuff too, although in the older comics back from the 70s when Changchi had his own series, his father went by a totally different name, which we don't use anymore because it's very racist. Yeah, exactly. But if it's following the current storyline, basically all those people that we see him fighting
Starting point is 01:23:23 are like his brothers and sisters who are also part of the clan and they're battling to find out who's going to be in charge. Right. Right. It's hard to say, but everybody looks great. and they all look badass, and I'm into some martial artsy stuff right now. I think that sounds great. I'm super in. Just a very sort of Asian-focused vibe to that whole thing. It looked awesome.
Starting point is 01:23:48 So there's that. And then a brand-new trailer for the new season of Sex, Lights and Monkey Bars. What is it? Love Sex, or Love Death and Robots. Oh, Love Death and Robots. Season 2. Oh, man, I cannot wait for that. I know.
Starting point is 01:24:03 I love it so much. you describe, though, now. I can't think of anything today. But it's so good, and I'm so excited that I'm barely holding myself in here for that. I'm very excited about that. And that comes... That's probably the thing that I'm looking forward to...
Starting point is 01:24:18 You know, obviously, Shang-chi very high on my list. Fear you're maybe not so much. Hey now! Hey now! Man, love death and robots is such a great anthology series that, man, if people haven't watched it the first time, now, granted,
Starting point is 01:24:34 The first Love Death and Robots, basically what it says. Some sexy sexies. So look for some naked body parts. Lots of death and it's pretty violent. And then, of course, lots of robots. Sometimes the robots are having sex. Sometimes they're killing. Sometimes they're just laying by the side of the road dead.
Starting point is 01:24:52 But definitely so many, so much talent in that first series. I can't wait to see what they're going to bring us in season two. And I can't believe, what has this been like three years since the first one? Which is, which was why I'm glad they said, yep, season two coming now, or May, and season three, also next year. So you won't have to wait another three years for it. That is one of the bad things about Netflix is they tend to not renew a show until the first show is done, until that first season is done, which means that in the case of animation, when you're doing some high class stuff like what Love Death and Robots does, it may take a year or so before they do it. So if they do both of them back to back, then yes, that means that we've given you time to do this. this that or they're going to just give us
Starting point is 01:25:35 you know like four episodes and then wait six months and do another four episodes well what's hard about it is I think that the management problem here is number one I don't think they knew that first season would be taken as well as it did like that everybody would just lose their minds over it and so I think there was a lot of like
Starting point is 01:25:51 oh shoot well we should do this again but part of the logistical nightmare of that series is that it's not one production company making a bunch of varied animated shorts it's a whole bunch of individual production houses. In some cases, they're companies that normally make game trailers for a living or, you know,
Starting point is 01:26:11 in some of the 3D stuff. And then there's artistic one or two people that make some short 2D animated thing or whatever. Bringing all that together and getting everybody involved in a way is that's work, man. That's a bunch of stuff. It is. But at least it's all work that can be done concurrently and not, you know, all right, we got to finish this one before we can do the next one and you got to finish, you know, everybody can be working on their shorts.
Starting point is 01:26:33 working on their shorts there's still so much there's still so much from that first season that I still think could spin themselves out into full-blown things I still think about a lot of those a lot too just you know I'll be out walking and all of a sudden what was it the
Starting point is 01:26:47 the cerulean blue or whatever the the one with the guy that was just painting the blue squares until you go back through his life and you figure out you know what what he is and where he came from that was cool that one I still think about a lot I think about the I even I even think about the one that was sort of
Starting point is 01:27:03 StarCrafty, but the farmers that used mecks to get everything done. Oh, yeah, yeah. That should be a series or a film series or something. Yeah. So good. I was so into it. Man, I'm going to have to go back and watch that now. And again, if the listeners haven't watched it although we talked about it two or three years ago when it was
Starting point is 01:27:19 a big deal. Again, not for the kids, but it's packed with just so much good stuff. The combination for me, the way I always think of it, this is like everything you loved about liquid television. Some of us in a certain age, you'll know what the hell I'm talking about there. Take that and combine that with like those weird
Starting point is 01:27:35 touring animation festivals that would kind of. Yeah, the animation show from my judge. Spike and Ikes or whatever it was. One of them is a candy. The other one is a film festival. I can never keep track. It's Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation. But that stuff, man, just that whole vibe of
Starting point is 01:27:51 like guerrilla animation is so cool. Oh my gosh. I'm so excited. This is going to be great. It's my favorite thing on Netflix. So watch for that. Come in soon. But we're not going to talk about any of that. And we can't talk about Winter Soldier because I'm behind three episodes. I'm behind three episodes of Winter Soldier.
Starting point is 01:28:09 It's not my fault. My daughter is finishing her college degree and she's watching it with us and would be super upset if I watched it without her. So I told her that if she gets all her projects done, which you're supposed to be done before this weekend, we get the finale this weekend. We're going to binge the four we've missed, including the finale, this weekend. So I'll be all caught up. And it wasn't just because I got lazy or missed it. it's just we were avoiding it because Carter has her thing going. So what was the last
Starting point is 01:28:36 one, what was the last episode you saw? The one where they went to visit the old guy in his house. Oh, okay. So that was three episodes ago. The Black Captain America, yeah. Yes. I will say this as you watch the rest of this. And again, no spoilers.
Starting point is 01:28:51 Just remember that while Wanda Vision was all about grief and loss and making mistakes in the middle of tragic grief and loss, this one is really more about the black experience in America. Yeah. And so when you watch the upcoming shows, and there's a couple of them that have some really good discussions that on the surface appear to be about one thing. But then when you look back at all the other episodes and the episodes to come, you're like, oh, no, this is all about how black people are treated in America and how they have different expectations and those
Starting point is 01:29:19 expectations are, you know, totally stepped on every, every moment of their lives. And so it's a really great underlying message on top of let's go find out who's, who's, who's, creating super soldiers. Has a Star Trek quality to it in that way. Hitting on big issues without, but doing it under this thin veneer of superheroes and, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:44 And not being overly, you know, not making it solely about that. Right. You're not preaching. You're not, it doesn't come off as preachy or come off as. Exactly. It comes off as authentic. It's important to the story and it's, and it's treated that way, but it's,
Starting point is 01:29:59 um, and plus it's just handled very well. It's like Talley says. It's entertaining. That's the other thing. Yeah, and then you only have to wait another month before the Loki show drops. Yeah, oh, that's right. You got the Loki. Everyone's going to be horking up Loki's. It's going to be great.
Starting point is 01:30:14 All right. So all of that's going on. I did get, I finally started Invincible. I got through the first episode. And I wish they would warn people to keep stick around after those credits because that's a weird way to do that. That was a weird thing. They're quick, though. Like, it happens so quickly in the credits that you don't have.
Starting point is 01:30:31 have to wait long before you see it right i mean it's like you even hear noises that are indicating oh okay the music is stopped there's going to be something that's going to happen it's massive though and i just worry i hope nobody missed that but uh man i forgot where that comic goes dude yeah right yeah it gets because up to that point some dark dark places up to that point this could be any you know dc animated looking thing with a story about a hero and his dad and you know it's like not you forget where that thing goes and it goes there quick it gets there and for people who have not
Starting point is 01:31:06 read the comics and are just now reading Invincible they haven't even gotten to the part and I know you're behind on this Scott they haven't even gotten to the part of why he did the thing that Omni Man did the thing that he did I mean there's a whole reason behind this
Starting point is 01:31:20 that when that is revealed people will be go no way it's really good and then that takes you that launches you into the interstellar aspect of Invincible which is you know, volume three or four in the comics. Yeah. Well, that's, and Lassarge in the chat says
Starting point is 01:31:36 well, it says the first episode gets through the first two volumes of the... Yeah, yeah, very, very quickly. In fact, the whole part with, and again, not a major spoiler, but, you know, there's a part where Adam Eve goes to live on her own in the most recent episode. And that's like
Starting point is 01:31:52 way down the line in the comics. So they're really kind of streamlining this book as as much as they can to still make it engaging and interesting and still hit all the beats. I like it. You know, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:05 It's very good. Including Zazi. Yeah. Hitting all the beats. Yeah, hitting all the beats. Nicely done. Took us a second, but we got there. I do like this most recent one.
Starting point is 01:32:17 I know you haven't, or I don't know if you've seen it yet, Scott, but I've only seen the first. There's so much Rick and Morty. Like, as soon as I heard the voice, I'm like, oh my God, that has to be Justin Royland and sure enough. And it was? He's in it? Oh, my gosh. That's great.
Starting point is 01:32:34 Yeah, yeah. I'm super. He even kind of burps. Like, oh, well, my ladies, how are you? One thing that I would say, again, since you're very early on in the show, keep watching the title card of each episode because it just keeps getting bloodier and bloodier and bloodier as the show goes forward. Okay.
Starting point is 01:32:54 Oh, that's clever. Yeah, the blood splatters just keep getting bigger and mess. messier and and they just keep piling up you know week after week yeah well i hope this i hope this is a show that does get a you know that does get renewed i haven't looked to see you know what its renewal status is right but i i would hope that they dump a ton of money on robert kirkman and um otley and um i forgot the other guy off the top of my head just so that they can continue to do this show because i you know invincible is a finite series so if you wanted to go out and read everything Invincible. It is a, it is a concluded series.
Starting point is 01:33:27 Yeah, it ends. But I hope that they're allowed to do that with the animation as well. I have the three first volumes. I don't know why. There's four. How many total volumes are there? Oh, there's like a lot. Yeah. I mean, it goes for like a hundred and I want to say 70 some episodes. Yeah, I mean, Scott, you've got the like super big hardcover volumes. Yeah, the big hardcover monster ones. Yeah, I've got I've got all the different
Starting point is 01:33:51 graphic novels and I think I've got 12 or 13 or something. Yeah, maybe it's, man, they're probably more than I think, but I don't know why I didn't keep going. I read, I kept reading it, but I didn't keep buying the big one. But it's a, it's a really cool thing, and I'm really glad it exists, and it, you know, at first you may look at and go, oh, this looks like all animated hero things. Because it has that look of like Justice League slash, you know, cartoon network lineup kind of looking thing. Well, that was what it was originally making fun of. You know, you know, the lead of the series, Mark Grayson, is very specifically using Nightwing as a reference.
Starting point is 01:34:34 Yeah. Well, and the stuff he does to the rest of the... Jeez, Louise, man. Like, all I'm saying is your neck's not supposed to turn that way. All right, moving on. 144 issues of that. So many of them are fight stuff, so you can blow through that series. you could probably blow through that series in about a week and a half if you just
Starting point is 01:34:57 that's what you read in all your free time yeah which is you know easy to do it's a super consumable thing you just want to keep you uh all right my uh little bird told me that you're playing dorf romantic which i now understand god i curse you it now means by the way it means romantic village in german oh okay i thought i meant uh dorf i thought i meant tim conway plays that's what i thought too that's what we all kind of thought but dude how great is that thing it's so good that is a super addictive game so much so and this is a super addictive game so much so and this is why I say I curse Scott. My wife has like Thursday afternoons off and then we go and pick up the kids together. But I was sitting down playing Dwarf Romantic and she finally comes down and she
Starting point is 01:35:33 goes, are we going to go pick up the kids from school? And I look up and it's like five minutes past the time we were supposed to leave to go get the kids from school. And I was like, oh no. So it is very addictive. It's very calming. It can't be super frustrating. I still haven't broken the 10,000 mark, although I still am, I'm beating a bunch of other things. A bunch of other achievement things. But it's super relaxing. The music is really cool. I kind of wish they would have some other elements in there, some other tiles. But right now, it's a fun game. Nine bucks, ten bucks.
Starting point is 01:36:02 Yeah. Totally worth it. Unfortunately, it's only on PC. I wish they would get it on iOS. Yeah. I want it on Mac. I wanted on iOS. I want it on...
Starting point is 01:36:11 Exactly. I want it all over the damn place. It's just... Well, the good thing is, if you get it on iOS for your iPad, you can also use it on your new M1 Mac. That's true. Yeah, you just download it there. I've done a few of those where they're designed specifically for... phone or tablet and then download it to see how it works they all work great
Starting point is 01:36:28 I just need to hurry up and do uh steam link and play it over here yeah you can do that as soon as I mean I had it all set up over the weekend I just didn't have time sure I would if you have a ultra wide screen display I would really suggest you playing the game in an ultra wide screen display yeah because there is a lot of stuff to see and as you build your world and everything it is very pretty I didn't even think about that an ultra wide would look would work well like functionally there's some reasons why that would work well for that game mm-hmm yeah all right so brian just go buy a thousand dollar widescreen well this is a this is a very widescreen monitor yeah but is it like the wide is it like the wide is it like the wide screen
Starting point is 01:37:09 format yeah no okay it's not that well then forget it so yeah no no yeah i guess i won't get the best experience yeah you'll have to just half-ass it I don't have one either. Mine died. Anyway, well, that's great. Steven, anything else going on around your world? Do you want to mention? Nope. We're reading comics every day, recording podcasts every day, and we're putting them all out over at major spoilers.com.
Starting point is 01:37:39 That's where people can go. And in the meantime, stay hydrated. Oh, very nice. Oh, by the way, the metal, DC metal, Batman, the Devastator Batman one-off issue thing they did? Uh-huh. Badass! It's so cool! It's a Batman from another Earth.
Starting point is 01:37:59 I don't think you mean badass. I think you mean badass. Oh, it's badass. Yeah, yeah, badass. But he basically turns himself into like some kind of Hulk venom monster. And comes to like avenge bad. Even though Superman in our world is fine, in his reality, Superman went to shit. And so he's here to do a bunch of revenge. And then the bat who laughs or whatever the hell of that thing is. the he's there it's great that metal stuff is totally milking my my boobs it's going good i'm
Starting point is 01:38:27 enjoying it anyway stephen anything else about water should we drink water or should we yeah you should drink plenty of water scott because uh scott's boob milk is probably something people should avoid stay probably stay hydrated everybody all right he did already say that but oh did he i missed yeah then we talked batman after it yeah that deserves he distracted us with uh milking boobs. There's a red-on air line for the chat. There you go, guys. Okay. Okay, we're to the point of the show where we can do a mash-up now safely, and this will be good. Although, for some reason, Jamie, I just noticed your mash-up is a little low on volume, so I'm going to up it real quick. All right, we've done it. We fixed it, and now I'm going to play it.
Starting point is 01:39:11 So enjoy this mash-up from Jamie. It's titled A Sensible Subaru. Enjoy. Brian, we rehearsed this. Norwell, no, well, swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion. For fuck's sake, Brian, we rehearsed this. Uh, Claire, you've got to stop drinking. I don't know if our relationship's going to get work out if you keep drinking yourself under the table every night. The neighbors are complaining about the noise you're carrying on about. Hey, shut up, or I won't let you see me boobs!
Starting point is 01:39:45 They're banging on. the walls with their chalelis to try and get you to shut up. The documentary is called The Last Blockbuster. The Last Blockbuster. Got it. 24-hour boner. Stick it on like a big sticker. They say that, well, but they say that some of those Simpsons, the Simpsons.
Starting point is 01:40:07 Who do you think Sam was going out with that broke his mouth? I don't know. But it was somebody who was obviously very disappointed by his lack of genitalia. He didn't. That's right. He didn't have a unit. That is a dubbed version of a British commercial. What a weird thing. Make sure to remove his fish and chips. Take out to the lorry.
Starting point is 01:40:28 I can't. I don't know why you have to go up here. A pair of testicles and a penis. Yeah. Like a real, legit thing. Now, how do I keep my penis from farting? Why is everything at my grandma's house moist? Oh, whatever.
Starting point is 01:40:40 Everyone touches my junk. Just go ahead. Okay, I have a number of files named porn. Let's see what they are. I have a number of files on. on my computer labeled porn. Let's see what they are. You got the Philip K. Dick in you.
Starting point is 01:40:51 That sounded terrible. Oh, hello. I really didn't mean that to come out that way. It totally screwed that up. It has gotten larger as I played it. Every time I play it level, it's bigger and bigger. Well, that's certainly Jamie material right there. It sounds like old people things, but yes, I would do it.
Starting point is 01:41:07 Take it. Put it on your nightstand so that you can take it if you wake up in the middle of the night. Why Brian's old people always like. Saul Rosenberg. It's always so sour old Jewish guy. Should I bring all my glasses with me? Christ the Transformer. That's the statue we need.
Starting point is 01:41:27 What does he turn into, though? That's important. It has to be a car or a jet or something? A Subaru. It'll be a Subaru. A really sensible car. That's good. The problem is, though, if he turns into a Subaru, it'd have to be a big,
Starting point is 01:41:46 Subaru, right? I can't just be just a little actual size. Yeah, because he's so huge as a transformer that when he comes down from full robot size, he'd have to be a big Subaru. I would tell you. I don't know. I can't figure.
Starting point is 01:42:02 Yeah, no, obviously, where's all that matter go? Oh, did anybody watch the Philip funeral? Did you watch any of that? They had guys that looked older than him walking around, looking all ancient, some of those guys that were running that funeral.
Starting point is 01:42:16 Oh, didn't see that. Philip Funeral. Let me see if I can find it. Like old bishops and, you know. Really? Church of England looking types that were all a thousand years old. They were so old. Here it is.
Starting point is 01:42:29 Queen Elizabeth wore a brooch with a romantic backstory to Phillips funeral. Oh. That's a Dorbs. Who's she going to scream Philip at now? Nobody? Philip. It would just be a sad echoey. just in their sleep
Starting point is 01:42:47 Philip Philip I'm going to laugh at you Philip Wow All right Where is that I have that somewhere
Starting point is 01:42:59 Yeah There's going to laugh at you There it is okay We're all to laugh at you We've done all we can do We've done it all So now we've got to go Before we leave though
