20, 21. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Nibbitt. Hi, Brian. Hello. Last week of May, the final week of the month. Okay, I know we say it every time. I really mean it this time. This time I'm serious. May was so fast. It was too fast. It was too fast. It's too fast. Yeah, I think to some degree, yeah. Right? I mean, there was a lot of anticipation for a lot of things for me for May. Yeah. So you were probably

You were chomping at the bit on a few things I think for me it was like I had been non-stop making art for that Kickstarter Yeah for the Rock Runners And I'm tired And I'm tired And so even though I got like four days off

Over the weekend It was still just like Buhbubbubbub Okay then four days Nice nice nice And then I come back today And I go It's the 24th

Really? Yeah right Right Freaking really Anyway It's all going good and we're back. Brian went to Vegas.

I went to Midway, which is this lovely little town, just northeast of Park City, Utah. We like to go there sometimes. They have these big cheese festivals and a lot of cows out there, super chill place. There are a festival going on this.

I think we've driven through Midway, like when we drive from Colorado to Utah. Because right before... You do the top one, right? You come up around Wyoming and then down, right? And we see all these farms, and it's like, wow, you know, This is, you go from all the rocks and plateaus and things like that into a very lush green valley and then you hit Park City.

So Midway is that lush green valley. Yeah, Midway, maybe part of Heber, you probably pass through, which is kind of right next to Midway. They're kind of adjacent to each other. But they're these nice little towns. What I didn't know about them, I've been there a million times. I don't know why I didn't know this. But there are these prehistoric hot spring craters, craters everywhere. So like, just like that farmland you're talking about, you'd be like, oh, here's a guy's house and there's nice farm, his big ranch and a bunch of cattle.

And then out of the ground, like this big video gamey looking prehistoric hole that's like full of hot water. Is there's steam coming out of it like Wiley Coyote kind of thing? Yeah, like there's full on hot water bubbling up out from underneath it. There's one of them that's so big that they do like scuba certifications in there and stuff. Oh, wow. Okay, that big. That big. Some are small, like the one near our bed and breakfast thing that we stayed in was just as a little one.

I went out and took a video of it, and there was a nice water bottle in there because humans are gross. But anyway, it was just like this crazy thing I didn't know about. I was like finding out you got like tar pits or freaking dinosaur bones under your house or something. It was crazy. And everyone else knew. I just was dumb and didn't know. But that was cool. And ours was so chill, dude.

There's no way any of this is a good story. I'm going to make a couple of recommendations. If you're out that way, go to the OG Cafe, really nice, hipstery joint, great food, very nice people. If you want to see a drugged up, possibly homeless man with a shirt off, walk into the back kitchen of a Red Rock, then go to Red Rock. So that was cool. And then also I went looking for Post Malone's house because he has a big place in Deer Valley up near Park City. And I thought, well, I want to see where this dude lives. People have sightings of him at the local Walmart all the time.

he's always over there buying like band-aids or whatever. I don't know what he's buying. I have no idea. But he's always being seen, but I don't know if anyone's actually seen his, his palatial monster house he has up on the hill or on the mountain. And so we went hunting up there. But Brian, all we came away with was like dozens of other houses that weren't his that were between $12 million and $35 million, these homes?

Jeez. That's insane. It was insane. My gosh, I've never seen so much house in my life. But we never did see Post Malone's house. That's kind of the most of it. It was fine. You know what?

That's good, right? That means you had an uneventful, I mean, that means you had a relaxing, yeah. Uneventful. I mean, I don't want to say uneventful because it sounds like it wasn't a good time, but it was a good time. It was a great time. It was just a lot of quiet time.

And the beautiful sun out first day, rain the second day, but that was fine because we kind of cozyed up, made her own food, barbecued. Like, it was just nice, hanging out with Kim. having time having some you know me and her time and that was all good except on our way home i said you know what we're going to do we're going to swing by the mall location of the apple store so i can see these iMacs up close i just want to see what they look like i haven't seen yeah the new imax uh huh yeah i just want to see just want to see not buying one just want to see so i go in there

and they got this crazy outdoor thing yeah i've been to an apple store yeah i haven't said i've been there since all this pandemic business uh huh did you not make an appointment to bring aroused the Apple store stuff? Yeah, I didn't know. So I got there and the guy's like, yeah, the only way this works is you call ahead or you wane around and then one of us can walk you through and you can't really touch anything. And I went, yeah, I'm just going to go to get an Orange Julius or something in here. I could see them from afar. They looked very colorful and nice and that was all I needed and I got out of there. Yeah, it's a bummer. I had to make an appointment just to get a new band for my watch, right? Like just to, I just want a new band.

Well, for a place that's so normally so touchy-feely, right? Like, that store is all about hands-on. And I never really thought about it. It's crazy how they have to change. And they need to wipe everything down between people. And, yeah, they just don't want, like, really big clusters. I will say this, that mall was full of, like, like, mask, not masked, weird looks at each other. Like, no one's sure what to do.

Nobody's sure if it's cool or not cool or who's vaccinated or not. Or if you're not, how are you going to know anyway? can't tell someone, you know, someone's not going to walk up and go, show me your card. It's not going to happen like that. Right. It just was weird. There's no way. Yeah.

It was just weird. I assume it was really weird where you were, is my guess. It was weird where we were. But it was weird. It surprised us. We stayed at Mandalay Bay. And easily two thirds, maybe even three-fourths of the people in Mandalay Bay, still wearing a mask. Not just employees.

Obviously, employees all were. But patrons. people walking through the casino still all wearing their masks. It was usually like an age gap. We could tell some people who were way older than 12 but way younger than like, you know,

younger than 30 deciding no, bro, I'm not wearing a mask, bro. Yeah, it's my first trip to Vegas, man. I'm not going to do that. But, uh, but, Mandalay Bay mostly mostly masked up, very, very much masked up. We did make a, uh, stop on Fremont Street. We did basically

half a block Fremont Street just to see because we're all really curious and maybe 5% of people at Fremont Street wearing masks. Yeah, I was going to assume the further north you go probably that thinned out

like the mask would thin out as you go whereas Mandalay way on the other side Mandalay's still like I don't know that's still civilization of a yeah and it's a I mean it's an upscale I think if you went to Excalibur a circuit circuit circuit yeah circus circus circus you'd probably get fewer masks just because

sure i don't know i mean i think the clientele well circuit circus was already a place i could go get a thing and die from it you know what i mean yeah exactly right yeah it was pre-covid it was you want to wear a mask anyway to circus circus right that was already mandatory if you knew what you were doing but uh excalibur is the closest thing to fremont street on the strip Even though it's not the closest to Fremont Street, it's the closest thing. You're probably right. So, you quick little story, and I asked Tina if I could tell this story, and she's fine with it. Oh, good, good.

Get to the airport Friday, or I'm sorry, Thursday night, and, you know, Spirit had already delayed our flight. 45 days in advance, they already told us our flight was leaving three hours later. Nice. Thank you, Spirit. Yeah, thanks. And so we got there. It was fairly, you know, it was like 6 o'clock in the evening. So the airport, on Thursday night, 6 o'clock in the evening, already pretty dead.

Yeah. We go right up to TSA precheck. We still have TSA precheck from all the flying we did back in 2017 and 18. Yeah. And I go up first. I give the guy my ticket, my driver's license, the guy, before you go through the metal detector and all that stuff. Yeah. This is the guy who makes sure that you're in the right line and all that.

So I give him my ticket, my driver's license. He puts the ticket on his little scanner thing. It beeps. He looks at my driver's license, looks at me, says, move your mask. So I pull my mask down. Yeah. He's like, okay, I put my mask back up and take the thing. By the way, airports and airplanes still 100% mask.

You have to be masked. Yeah, they get to pick the rules. Whatever the mandate is, they get to decide, sure. Exactly. So I start going up there and taking my, you know, bag. and putting it on the roller. Meanwhile, Tina steps up. Takes her ticket, takes her driver's license, scans her ticket, looks at a driver's license, looks at her, and then says, yeah, could you move your mask?

And Tina says, what? Move your mask? So she takes and she pinches the nose and pulls it forward away from her face. Maybe a half an inch and then lets it go. Like, as if basically he's asking her, can you prove? that that mask is not your face that's like when my sister was asked how she likes her

eggs and she said cooked that's so good so that he says no pull your mask down so I can see your face she's like oh and she does it and so she tells me the story and I'm like well he was looking at your license and then looking at you what did you think he was

asking that's my favorite thing I've heard all week that's really great It's such a crackout. So, got in town. Mizzula was really cool. Picked us up from the airport, even though we were getting in late and we weren't going to have any time to really hang out with him.

He works. Basically, he got off work five minutes before our plane landed. And his path to get home is basically, takes him right by the airport, Mandalay Bay, and then to his house. So he's like, oh, no worries. I'll just pick you guys up. Save you guys some tax money. Uber's and lift. It's a ridiculous right now.

You can't get one, which is true. Those were, it was freaking mayhem trying to get lifts and Uber. My God. Yeah, they're having a hard time getting people back to. Getting people back. Yeah, exactly. So he took us, dropped us off at Mandalay, and we hung out with him for a minute and then said, all right, we'll see you tomorrow.

So we got to hang out with him. Then we met the next day. Mitt Zuber. That's the new name for Mitzzula. Mitzuber. Yeah, that's great. Liftzula. Yeah, so the next morning,

Tina, grab some breakfast and then later, Mitsula met us to take us to lunch. And he knows this incredible noodle place off-strip. Oh, this is the videos you were saying. This is the video I sent, yeah. And this is like a hand-pulled noodle, you know, Asian noodle place called Shang noodle.

Like Shang Chi, but without the chi, with the noodle. And the martial arts experience, sure. And the martial arts, exactly. And we got a seat at the bar, so we're right in front watching this guy make our noodles. And it basically starts off with one piece of dough, of pasta dough or whatever, stretches it. Oh, you're playing the video? Cool.

I'm going to show this to the chat. And folds that in half, stretches that, folds that in half, stretches that. You know, obviously every time doubling the number of noodles. And then once he gets to about, I don't know, we're thinking maybe either 128 or 256 noodles. Not exactly sure, but they're a little tiny thin noodles now. He chops off the ends and tosses them into a walk and they heat up and they're like served you immediately.

Like it is. That sounds amazing. It is that fresh. And we had some of this, like this, I had a beef, shang beef noodle soup. And it, I took a picture of it and sent that to you as well. And that thing was as good as it looked. Like it was so, so good. It looks really good.

What's the big veggie in there? What's that big fat freaking... It's a bok choy. Oh, okay. My wife asked... It's a big old bok choy. I was surprised she didn't know. She asked, and she's like,

what is that? I'm like, I'm not totally sure. Oh, really? Wow. She's usually pretty good at spotting that stuff, but... Yeah, look at this guy. This guy just had a work a noodle. Good Lord.

Look at this. Yeah, yeah. And then they also do knife cut noodles. So he has this block of, of dough. Yeah. And he just stands next to the walk and he goes, shum, chum, shum, shum, shum, with a knife. And it looks like when you got a potato peeler and you're like peeling above the trash can.

And little noodles are just flying off this thing into the walk to cook. That's awesome. That's very cool. I'm jealous of this food right now. Oh, so good. We then went back to the hotel and then took a taxi to Area 15, which is this new entertainment area in Vegas. And this is going to have to be a TMS Vegas experience. Permanent installation or is it a permanent installation.

And it's basically like it's a place where you've got multiple, I don't want to say experiences because it sounds like, yeah, you've got multiple experiences there. But you've got one big area that's put together by the Meow Wolf team. So it's an art installation. But it's a walkthrough, it's interactive, and there's even a game component that takes you through a story. That's really, really good. That's cool. We were there in that thing for maybe three hours, three and a half hours. Didn't finish the game because we had a reservation to get to at Circus.

So we'll go back there and finish it up sometime. And you can pick up and continue at any time because you get a card that you take around. and you tap things in the uh in this place it's called omega mart and i think i think i sent you a couple grocery items that we found at omega mart oh yeah there's uh let me let me share these simply spiders uh cereal yeah simply spiders which is fantastic and also uh rumored associates rumored associate cereal yes and is that um what's his name on there um i was thinking was Todd and Aaron. Oh, I think that's the guy that sings these famous Vegas guy,

uh, uh, had a lot of work done, was on one of the, I don't think it's Wayne Newton. Wayne Newton. That's who I'm thinking. No, no, I don't think it's Wayne Newton. Okay, so that's just some dude. Wade Newton has black hair and, and has his face stretched out.

This guy, this guy actually has wrinkles. That's true, yeah. All right. They kind of look like that couple that had the guns out. famous photo a couple years ago. Kind of, yeah, right? The BLM March was in front of their house. Yeah.

So, anyway, there's a lot of other places there. There's a Rocket Fizz store. There's a cool op-art, lava-lampy kind of toy store there. There's a couple other interactive museums, some VR glasses kind of things. There's a VR flying thing where you're actually on a, on a thing that that stretches your pits your arms out

and your legs so you're basically laying down on your stomach on this thing with a fan blowing in your face you're wearing a VR headset and you're having the experience of flying.

You're wearing VR headsets? That's the thing, right? That's where I was like, yep, not for me, thanks. Skip that part. A little too soon for me to do that. one and we really didn't do anything else in there but there's a restaurant a couple bars I mean this looks this place would be a perfect TMS um uh hangout TMS Vegas hangout I'll tell you the freakiest thing

in the stuff you sent me is this photo or this video rather of you and Tina oh yeah staring at the camera with what looks like a generator from Star Wars behind you and you're not moving at all no it took so basically I did live photo took about 10 10 photos using live photo where we just stayed as completely still as we could, and I tried not to move the camera when I hit the button so that it wouldn't move. I put one up as a gif on Facebook this morning, but I need to look at the other. I need to look at all 10 of them and see which one is the best as far as not moving. There's one where Tina blinks, and it's like, it's really freaky because it's like,

it's right when the video ends, and so she blinks, but her eye then fades in instead of her eye opening back up. Well, what's weird about this one is this isn't even a live photo. You sent me like an actual video video. Oh, no, it should be live photo. No, this is an MOV. I got like a full motion, yeah.

Full motion video. I wonder if it converted it because I only took them as live photos. I didn't do. Is it that they're stitched together or something? It's on a loop. It's a, it's only a two second loop or three second loop. Okay, maybe they just, maybe that's just the format they give you.

Because normally live photos, I've got to click them to make a move. This one's just always moving. Oh, yeah. No, once you take a live photo, when you're looking at it in your gallery, if you swipe up, you can turn it into a looping gif or a bounce gif. Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, yeah. That makes it so cool because then you're like, oh, I really want to see what this looks like looped.

That is a, that is, the thing is, it's actually creeping me out. The video, are you putting on the screen? Yeah, it's just showing the chat. It's like, I don't know, something very spooky about it. it. I can't fit my finger on it. It's good, though. It might be Tina. I convert it to a GIF. I actually uploaded it to Giffy. You can upload the live photos to Giffy and have them turned into

GIFs. Right. I've done that before manually, but I've never, I didn't know, it just did it. So that's cool. It just did it. Yeah, it's really cool. James and Svet are doing a while. You got to see them. That's cool. I did. They are. They're doing great. Svet, Svet's mom passed away during COVID, because of COVID, just a couple weeks ago. And so that, obviously

that's you know that's um something that she's still she's having to deal with the um the aftermath of that you know the getting her remains back to bulgaria things like that so she can be buried back at home and and and stuff like that but we um the the four of us tina me james and svet went up to circa the brand new hotel downtown this is this is right across the street from the plaza oh no way It's like it changes the whole look We actually went to the plaza too Just to say ah you know TMS Vegas how much we miss it

Had some drinks in Oscars steakhouse But then you come out of the plaza And there's this warm brand new hotel And Circa is Um Strip quality hotel Downtown they really haven't had another Hotel that doesn't feel like it's downtown

Yeah another resort downtown that doesn't feel like you're downtown This one actually feels like you're downtown This one actually feels like you're... What do they tear out to stick it in there? Do you know? Because they had to tear something out, right? They didn't. I can't remember what was on that corner.

Mitsula probably will be able to tell us, but there was something else on that corner. And this thing is the tallest thing now, downtown. And we went up to the Legacy Club, which is a bar at the very top. You have to get reservations. But then they've got an outdoor seating area. and uh sounds fancy oh it's fancy and then you've got this beautiful overlook of all of las

Vegas depending on which side you are you can see down the down the strips the stratosphere and then the rest of the trip behind it um incredible uh but the the real highlight of circa is a restaurant called eight east and it is an asian restaurant that uh if you go during happy hour if you get there before 530 and you can jam in a whole mess of food orders yeah all their small plates are eight bucks and their small plates are you know two of these small plates easily feed a person wow that's pretty good

of course we ordered like eight to ten small plates between the four of us but they have salt and they're the thing for me was these were these salt and pepper wings um Chinese influence salt and pepper wings that were crispy so freaking simple but take

it tasted so so good it sounds good right now just the sound of that The description of the salt and pepper wings. Pepper wings. Met up with Shojo and Danny the next morning for breakfast at Monomica B and Paris, which was lovely getting to hang out with the two of them. Yeah, it's a good thing you did. I hear that falls over in that new Zach Snyder movie.

It does it, yeah. It does in the opening credits, as a matter of fact. Yeah. You better get in there quick before that falls in. And then Saturday night met up with The Gen from America's Next Top Podcaster and dining club and geek grills and she's living out there now teaching that's right teaching english no teaching english exactly right yep yeah i remember it's something like that and we did kind of a a little bar hopping thing downtown so we're not downtown but the arts district oh right

i love it over there that's one of my favorite places it's really cool yeah you and it's and it doesn't feel glitzy and and overproduced i mean you're you're walking into like real bars and real restaurants and of course ended up at the Cornish pastie for pasties like the like we had there in lost space yeah like like the Lord meant you to you got to do that like the Lord meant us to exactly so it sounds like you had wall-to-wall stuff just packed we did we really did and um and then Sunday turned yesterday turned out to be just for teen and I which worked out perfectly we had not gotten any time in the pool because for some reason the 90 degree weather stopped the day we arrived in Vegas and uh and started back up today yeah but um

yesterday was about 80 there was like a whole like not depression or whatever you call it in the entire west where everything got cold yeah yeah everything got cold yeah cool yeah but uh we uh yesterday was great so we went we hung out the pool for uh a few hours it was um it was it was exactly what we needed. And having it on the last day there, having this day of relaxation right before we got on a plane was like oh, this is, I'm glad this is

the last day of our trip instead of the first day and then kind of scrambling to get to the airport and stuff. Yeah, you want that last bit, the last stretch to be nice and chill. Yeah, exactly. Sounds like that's what you guys are. But it was really, it was a good time and it was like I said, for the most part,

everything was still everybody was still messed up oh we went to the new pinball Hall of Fame oh yeah how'd that guy they moved it they moved it they got a big spot now on the strip again right across from Mandalay Bay or down down across from Mandalay Bay with a ginormous sign on the front that says pinball

like you can ever miss this thing and things are more spaced apart they've got probably two and a half times the room they had on than they did on Tropicana Avenue Yeah. Same amount of stuff. Like same amount of... Same amount of machines. Maybe more machines. I think actually, definitely more machines because it's like, it didn't feel like things were two and a half times spaced apart. But everything's still in really good condition, playable. There's stuff in the back that they're working on fixing and refurbishing.

But I get to finally play the new Avengers game, which is incredible. Is it good? Played the new. It's great. It's a new pinball machine based on the Avengers. Yeah, I guess we're talking to you. Exactly. It may as well have Modoc on it or something. It may as well, yes. And it probably does at some sort of bonus level thing. That's cool. Yeah, that was a blast. I'm glad those guys are doing well. They still have the weird foot thing. I can put a quarter in and have it vibrate my feet. Yep. They sure do.

And I even talked about that. I did some pod racing and the little, the pod radio. episode one video game. Yeah. They have joust there, no a joust machine. Oh, yeah, absolutely have a joust machine. They have a joust machine, the video game right across

the same aisle as the Water World pinball machine. And Mitzoula and I were saying, wow, what would Scott play? I know. Both is the answer. Both. Both.

Yeah, I'd play both. Both. Well, uh... So anyway. Well done. Great time. Fun trip. Sounds like.

Oh, I yelled at a guy in the airplane. Oh, what was that about? So, uh, Tina, in the gate area, before we got on the plane, we're standing next to this guy who's got the nose, you know, got the penis sticking out of his underwear, basically, the mask, right? His nose is sticking out of the top of his mask. And Tina's like, I'm probably going to end up sitting next to that guy. Sure enough, we get on the plane, and he's in the aisle seat, and we have the window in the middle seat. and he still has the thing down on his nose

or down off of his nose and Tina when we sat down Tina says could you pull the mask up over your nose and he's like oh oh yes and he has a German accent not that that's important to the story irrelevant but he's like oh yes I can pull it up it keeps falling down so

I like this story better that he's German if that means anything and it's one of these it's just your regular medical grade mask not a fancy you know decorative mask sure and his team says could you pull that up over your nose and he's like oh yes sorry it keeps falling down it's just doing it automatically sorry but it's okay it doesn't matter i've had my shots

and then i lean over and say yeah it matters my wife is uh you know immune compromise so we'd like you to keep that on over your mouth and nose and mouth the entire flight look at you going at him going at the german yeah exactly man oh okay Okay, yes. And then he goes, so what did you have? And she goes, cancer? And then he goes, no, I mean, which of the vaccines did you get? We're like, Madonna.

Was he mad because it wasn't Pfizer? Because he likes the Pfizer. Oh, yeah, good point. He probably would have been really happy if we had the Pfizer. Pfizer's more efficient. He'd say. with his nose sticking out. Well, that's good.

I'm glad you had a little confrontation. Everyone needs that once in a while. Yeah, I needed it after the weekend. Like, you know. Yeah. Just let it rip. Why not? Yeah, but all the casinos I didn't mention this part,

all the casinos, when you walk in to have signs that say, per the CDC's order, fully vaccinated masks or fully vaccinated visitors don't need to wear masks. By not wearing a mask, you're certifying that you have had the vaccine. And every casino had some. like that on the entrance. How do they enforce that, though? They really can't.

They don't. They can't. Yeah, it's basically just like a, it's, it's the, uh, clicking on the, uh, the EULA at the beginning of a video game saying, I will not pirate this game, I promise. Yeah, that seems like it's not going to, it's not going to happen very well. We, we noticed there were places that we would go where if the door said, mass required, we'd still wear them. If it said nothing, we'd go in.

and kind of look around and see what's up. And if people are wearing them, we'd wear them. And the third option was, if just the staff were wearing them, then we would wear them. Because that feels respectful. If nobody was in there wearing them, like staff, nobody, nothing, I'm like, whatever, get the coffee and let's go. Like, you know, like, I don't care that much. So that's my, that's my gauge. Am I going to be there with other people I would like to respect their wishes?

That's what I'll do. That's it. 100%. That's exactly the way we handled it. Like, if we, you know, we would wear our masks into every place we walked into, then kind of gauge and see, all right, how's it feeling here? Do we feel like, is everything kind of spaced apart? All right, yeah, we'll take them off and be comfortable.

Right, right, right. Speaking of being comfortable. Yeah. Here's some comfort. I take great comfort in announcing that we are having a battle royale today. It has a slightly different title. We'll get to that in a minute. But Brian Dunaway is joining us from South Carolina.

Hello, Brian. oh hi scott and brian how are you guys we're good how are you good i missed you this weekend oh we missed you we missed you horribly uh i was using the uh the you know the universal you guys you guys you guys did you missed you guys too brian done away did you watch a poopie movie just to just to be reminded what it's like while we were gone i don't need i don't need you guys to watch poopy movies i watch poopy movies every day of the week that's true that's kind your usual thing.

bored. We should mention this week, we're doing something a little bit different. We haven't done this since Star Wars episode 2017 of the hell a movie. What was it called? The Force Awakens. We did that weekend, and that was weird, because we couldn't do clips or anything, because it was just a theater thing, but

we're watching that Army of the Dead business this week, and that's on Netflix, and it's like fresh out of the shoot, and we're going to be doing it this Sunday. So, or Saturday. So, look forward to that, everybody. It's going to be great. Oh, I can't wait. Look forward to that. All right. We're going to play this game. Brian, you should explain this game. It's a little different today. Yes. So welcome to the first edition of the Morning Squirm. That's a new title I just came up with, but it's still work in

progress. I'm not eating bowl penises. Okay. Oh, well, all right. I'm bringing Joe Rogan in here. You're going to be eating some bull penises. This is a back and forth trivia game. where our players will match wits on topics that Cliff Clavin would have offered up at the Cheers Bar. Scott and Brian will take turns answering multiple choice trivia questions and if they get it wrong, the other player has a chance to steal. The first player

to five points wins the prize for their contestant and contestants are going to be pulled from members of the Tadpool that aren't able to listen live. So if you're a member of the Tadpool and you saw on Facebook or Discord recently, I'm taking your name

and your email address to give you a chance to win a prize, because it seems unfair. And I'm selling it to Amazon. That's right, exactly. But it seems unfair that our other games, you have to be here live to be able to play. But in today's game, Dunaway, you're going to be playing for Sebastian in Montreal, Canada. And Scott is going to be playing for Tony in Cincinnati. And the winner is going to get, through the darkest of times, an American fugitive on Steam. Great game. And our

runner-up is going to get war-grove. So even if your player doesn't win, you still get a prize. There's no losers here. Hold on. Through the darkest of times and American, those are two separate games. Yes, through the darkest of times an American fugitive for our winner, they get

two games. Got it. Got it. Our runner-up gets the one. Oh, runner-up gets the one. Okay, I got it. Yeah. They don't get as much. American fugitive is awesome. Imagine Grand Theft Auto, but in the country. It's great. It's real good. Really? Yeah.

I love that game. Grand Theft Tractor. Yeah. I liked it so much. I got it twice. I have it on Switch and I have it on the TV. You got to rob a peach farmer. It's awesome.

Yeah, it's a great game. It's a great game. There are cars in it, but it's, you know, you're out in the nowhere. It's not like you're the big city boy anymore. It's pretty good. That's cool. All right. So, I'm going to let you guys call in the air.

Brian, you get to call this in the air. I'm using the TMS Vegas Challenge coin. Oh, in that case, heads. Oh, yeah. There are heads. And there is, love the show. is tails. You call heads. It is

heads. Nice. Nice. Well done. Show the camera for safety. All right. So Brian Donnell, we get the first question. I was thinking about doing these as John Ratsonberger. Yeah, you know, it's a little known fick that I think it would help me if you did.

Oh, really? Okay. I'll do the first one. We'll just see how it goes. Because I didn't feel like I was going to do all four or all questions like that. so uh tinku it's actually a bolivian festival where individuals i'm not going to do this a beat the shit out of each one wait wait what was the name of it again you say the question again you say tinko tinku t i nk you is a bolivian festival where individuals a beat the shit out of each other for two or three days straight b do everything without clothes for an entire week C are arrested if caught speaking any time

or D headbutt each other to say hello A Bolivian festival named Tinku If you had to give me multiple choices I would have said something stupid like They throw tomatoes at each other There's another thing that happens there There's a thing in Spain Yeah, there is

Yeah You never heard of it Tinkoo What was What was it what we'll see again Eat the shit out of each other for three two or three days or C was are arrested if caught speaking at any time.

No, that's stupid. I don't think that. That's who naggy. What was D again? D is headbutt each other to say hello. And these were what kind of people? Bolivians. I don't know. I'm going to go with

D. Headbutt each other. Because why not? To say hello is incorrect. Scott, you get the chance to steal our remaining answers. are beat the shit out of each other for two or three days straight do everything without clothes for an entire week or are arrested if cut speaking at any time uh the clothes one no clothes for a week

no clothes oh interesting oh i see your tinku that's right do everything that's wrong you also beat the shit out of each other for two or three days straight what oh yeah that makes sense dude what are the aliens doing really that's a thing that's a thing apparently now is that like a surprise or is it like you'll let them know i mean i'll be over i'll be over to tinko you in five minutes it's got to be they'd have to be willing participants you just hide in your house when tinko rolls around if you don't want to be uh yeah it can't be like the purge they have i'll bet they are like they have to have some big group that are like into it in some field i don't know that doesn't that seems crazy to me

yeah but i believe you all right all right well we're still zero points i was thinking i might might have to just give points to the other player if you get it wrong, but this is too much. Oh, that would work? Yeah. Yeah, we'll see. If we start getting to like question eight or nine and we still have to be on the board, then we'll go to it. All right, Scott, this one's for you. The reason that people started clinking glasses together before drinking.

Okay. All right. Is it A, to spill their drinks into each other's cups to prevent poisoning? B, because it sounds cool. C, medieval armies used it to mimic the sound of clashing armor Or D, spies in ancient times used the sound to communicate secrets I think all of those are true. There's not like an E? Okay, I'm going to go with one that seems like it might not be a probably as maybe. Let's say they do it because it's cool because it sounds cool. sure B because it sounds cool

Yeah Brian Dunaway Your chance to steal It's because they hit the swords together And it makes the noise Is that C? Medieval armies used it to mimic The sound of clashing armor

Yeah it sounds something stupid people would do It is indeed to Is it really splashing That was so ridiculous I didn't think that was even true I almost said that one All right I'm learning I'm learning this game Okay, I'm learning the questions.

I'm learning the questioner. Okay, now I'm getting a feel for this. All right. Now I'm getting a feel for this. I just took a flight, and airlines have different ways of dealing with passengers who die mid-flight. Some Singapore Airlines planes come equipped with, A, a special seat in first class, complete with a bereavement blanket. B, an empty seat in the cockpit. C, a corpse cupboard to store the body until the body.

plane lands, or D, a recorded announcement alerting other passengers that there is a dead traveler on board. Oh my God, those are all great answers. I love the cockpit one. It's so good. The first one is so freaking insane that they would have first. The bereavement blanket, that I feel like that's got to be the right answer. I'm going with A, Insano answer A.

All right. Is it A? I don't know this game at all. I'm going to say it's the cupboard storage cupboard. Corpse cupboard? I almost move to the safe bit. We now have points on the board. Scott is correct.

It is indeed the corpse covered. Sweet, corpse covered. That seems safe. Yeah, well, that's safe. Damn it. See, we didn't learn anything. Those last ones are crazy. Now, that one was safe.

You never know. Yeah. Yeah. All right, points on the board. Who am I playing for? You're playing for Tony. Tony and Cincinnati.

That's right. Tonsanati. I'm on, we're on board, buddy. We're in it. All right. Since you have a point, this one goes to Brian first to answer. Oh, good. Yeah.

France was still doing this when the first Star Wars movie came out in 1977. Wearing their pants. Oh, you're going to give me some choices. I'm going to give some choices. But that, you know, that might be right. A, using the guillotine to execute people. B, showing pornography in movie theaters. C, selling heroin over the counter, or D, all of the above.

Oh, oh. See, I thought I knew it, and I stopped listening because I know they did the guillotine. I know they were doing the guillotine up until, well, they weren't, you know, but it was all the way up until about that time. Ooh. So I'm going all the above then. All the above, okay. Is it all the above?

I think he's right. No, it is it the guillotine? It's safe. Pornography in theaters or selling heroin over the counter. Well, I think he was disappointed. The porn part, I think, is still a thing over there. I could be wrong. But I think that it would probably, I remember the guillotine story.

I remember people saying, hey, when Star Wars came out, they were still chopping people's heads off. What do you think of that? So I'm going to say that. The guillotine thing. Guillotine is correct. Scott has two points. Wait. Two.

All right. Uh, this one, again, I guess, Brian, until you get, until you tie things up, it gives you the chance, right, to score point before it goes to stop. That's right. That's right. In ancient Greece, the brazen bull was known to be, A, the first known fast food franchise. B, a form of torture in which criminals were roasted inside a brass bull statue. C, a game in which criminals would impale one another with bullhorns, or D, the name of a prized, warrior known for collecting the cocks of his combatants. I probably should have said a different

word. The the wheems of his combatants. What? You see you, I guess I did read these questions before I I guess

I guess B-Bulled penises did come up. They always do. What was B again? B is a form of torture in which criminals were roasted inside a brass bull statue. That one sounds the most logical and I've

been passed by those couple of times. I'm going to go with the most logical reasonable sounding one. B. You are absolutely correct. It is indeed B. Yes. The brass bull. Nice. I'm really glad it's not that. All right.

Sixth question here. And this goes to Brian, right? Because I'm still ahead. This goes to Brian because you're still ahead, Scott. in 1944 nine American airmen were shot down in Japan eight of them were captured and tortured four of whom were chopped up cooked

and served to Japanese officers I don't like this story The ninth man was A John McCain B Mel Brooks C Ronald Reagan or D George Herbert Walker Bush Oh my God

Those guys These all sound insane. What year was this again? This is 1944, yes. Well, there's one you know, isn't it? I mean, right. I mean, it just feels like, in which bush did you say? George H.B. Bush.

Okay, H. Okay. I'm going with Old Man Bush. Old Man Bush. He didn't want to talk about it. Is correct. Two points for Brian Dunaway, it's tied up. They almost ate. Yeah, McCain's two young.

Mel Brooks would have never stopped talking about it. That's true. It's totally true. Who was the other one that you saw? Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan. No, he was just like, he didn't even go, right? He always talked a lot about the war, but didn't go.

Right, I think so, yeah. He was busy. All right. It's tied up. This one goes back to Scott. Okay, I'm ready. All right. Lake Natron in 10.

Anzania is so alkaline that animals entering the water, A, turn into statues, B, pass out from the fumes, C, slowly go insane, or D, burn themselves, but realize it too late. Realize it too late. It's like a slowly boiling frog. Let's do that one, actually, D. the D burning themselves to realize it too late No, that is not correct Is it turning to statues Pass out from the fumes or go insane Go insane, C

I'm going with it They go insane They start dancing around like crazy animals Go ahead That is incorrect It is actually so alkaline that animals When they enter the water turn into statues Really? Really

So is it Like calcification or something Really? Wow, that's rapid. And can you keep one, like a little keepsake of a dumb animal? Yeah, but you have to go in and get it. How are you going to do that? Wow.

All right. Fuck it with a stick. They need to get some pH balance in that lake. That's crazy. BioCal is that a photo of a... I'm soaking in it. All right. This one, I guess, stays with Scott.

Yeah, you're tied. In 1911, an orphanage in Paris did this to babies in order to raise funds. A. Had them compete in a crawling competition. B. sold their clothes and dressed them in potato sacks. C. Raffled them off. Or D. painted them the colors of the French flag for a parade.

I love these atrocities of humanity trivia questions. Raffled them off. I think that would be the most sensible thing to do. You say it raffled them off? Yeah. That is correct. They raffled them off. Really?

An orphanage? Yeah, but think about it. You have no shortage of incoming. You've got to get more outgoing. Well, that's what I... That's stupid. Of course that's what you're going to do. That that's actually... A thing with the sacks is just temporary.

I think the problem is trying to get kids out of the orphanage. I don't think... Right. So you'd raffle them off. People would pay for them. I know. But you can get them for free. Oh, I see what you're saying. That makes no sense. We'll just make our own.

We're good. Yeah, we have the recipe. It is weird. Well, I mean, you can go to the orphanage and get one for free. I mean, you know, we've had to make your own, right? Yeah, yeah. That is weird. It was the orphanage, though, that sold them.

Yeah, that's weird. Because isn't the orphanage? They were free last week, this week. We're raffling them off. That's right. Babies, 200% more. All right. Let's see.

getting close to time, so we'll make this one the tie breaker. Well, it's not where you guys aren't tied anymore. Scott has three and has two. Tell you what. Let's call the tie. If you get a tie, then we'll have a tiebreaker question. But if not, Scott wins and Tony and Cincinnati gets the prizes. All right. It sounds good.

And then I can auction off my children. Go ahead. You can auction off your children. Brian, this one goes to you. In medieval times, how would doctors test for diabetes? Would they, A, taste your urine, B, stick a syringe into your eye, C, rub sugar on your wrist, or D, feel the temperature of your armpit. God, feel a temperature of armpit just seems like the most right-on answers.

But, I mean, come on, you know that you can taste sugar in somebody's pee. I know that's like a thing. You can? It's supposed to be a thing. So maybe that's where it came from. so you think that are you seeing tasting the urine i think so that is absolutely correct we have a tiebreaker situation i'd heard that before i would have been my answer as well um all right so tiebreaker here comes everybody this is intense okay all right here we go tiebreaker question and what we'll do

hands on buzzers uh no hands on buzzers uh because i don't have that set up but i will take both of your answers um at the end and whoever gets it right How's that? Okay. In Switzerland, there's a statue of a man stuffing these into his mouth, and nobody knows why. Is it A, infants, B, real human skulls. Infants. I've seen this statue, and he's naked. He has a wiener out. Infants. Scott sounds so sure. I'm going to infants. Well, I'm taking Scott buzzed in. I've taken it. I'm taking it. That's it.

Is that correct? It is indeed infants, yeah. I didn't even get to kittens and french fries. So congratulations to Tony in Cincinnati. I saw this photo. This thing, the part Brian didn't mention is that he's naked, which just makes it worse. I don't know what's going on with that. Does it make it worse?

It makes it way worse. Hey, I would have a weird expression in my face, too, if I was shoving raffled off infants into my face. The photo shows him fully dressed. but what am i thinking of i've seen this same stat or i thought i saw one where a guy was maybe you just fighting babies now i got to look it up since we're doing hold on the picture uh bio cow just put in the tadpole of this thing is is horrendous uh let me take a look at it okay i don't want to see scott's search history at all not at all this isn't the one the one i'm right you're

visualizing something you're visualizing something there was a um because i think i was visualizing too it's a piece of art like from Dante's Inferno or something where there's... Why is Farquod from Shrek eating his babies? It is Farquod from Shrek. Oh, I found it.

It's a sculpture in Oslo, Norway. And he's fighting babies. That's what it is. He's fighting off babies. I just got lucky with this one. Here, let me find it. I'll find it and then I'll share it

and then you'll all not know that I'm insane. Hold on, here it is. They're like, where are your replacements? and he's like, I'm fighting you. Let's fight. Okay. I'm going to put this in the, in our, in our chat here. There we go. Okay. So there's that. And then chat room, you guys can see it here. Oh, geez. That's the one I'm thinking of. Oh, yeah. I've seen this one. I think you sent me this.

Yeah, look at the one on his foot. He's like, ah, get off. Get off my feet. Get off me. Yeah, I'm just trying to be naked here. What's this? We're all these kids doing. Wow. This is not. How do you? How do you? So, yeah, he's totally confused on how to have babies. It's like he thinks that's how you do it. That's a very odd sculpture. But that's the one I thought you were talking about.

It's hilarious that I got it right. It's good that you got it right. And congratulations again to Tony in Cincinnati. You're getting through the darkest of times an American fugitive on Steam. But Sebastian and Montreal, you're not walking away empty-handed. You're getting a copy of Wargrove. Nice.

Nice. Look at that. That's fantastic. Well, done away, look, we've earned our keep is what we've done. We did it. We did it. Yeah, having you here is always good. Tomorrow we'll do the Boop Show together, you and I.

Got a lot to talk about there, so that'll be fun. I can't wait. Yeah, film sack this week. I've been playing a really cool game. Oh, yeah? Tell me about it. What is it? Yeah.

You don't have to tell me now. Oh, the Wild Ed Hart, day one release on the Xbox Game Pass. Cool little adventure game there. I'm digging it. Do you see that weird volleyball, or not volleyball, a dodge ball game they put out. EA just put out on there on Game Pass. No. It's called.

Shoot. Dodge my balls. Knockout City, something like that. It's called, can you dodge a wrench? It's a, it's really fun. I played that a whole bunch when I got home yesterday, and I was surprised how much fun that is. Chaos City, says Carter. There it is. Oh, K.O. City. Yeah, Carter, I guess, was, it's really fun.

It's a very good time. And it's cross-play, which is nice. So there's that. Kickin orphans. That's what it's called. Kick an orphan. Speaking of orphans, I'm kicking Brian out. Bye. All right, he's out. He's not really an orphan. He has a mother. All right. So feel free.

If you've got an idea of how to maybe tighten that game up, I'm going to be looking at ideas and figuring it out myself. But maybe you just get five questions, whoever has the most points after five questions, or the steel doesn't get to guess. They just get the point automatically. Oh, I see. Yeah, I don't know.

I enjoyed it. I liked it. I liked that we got to involve people that don't normally call in or can't call in. Yes, exactly. And weird-ass questions. That's right. It's good stuff. All right, we're going to take a break.

When we come back around, Bill will be here. We've got a question for him and a little bit of time with Steven Schleiker. He's back this week, so stick around for that. And apparently, quite the Monday morning mashup after all that. Before that happens, though, we need to take a break. And that break involves the playing of the following song. Yeah, this is sent to me directly from Britney Stearns. Not Britney Spears.

Britney Stearns from Publicity Nation. It's like a perfect fit for TMS. This guy sounds like he could be a TMS listener who put together this song. But he is a musician named Carter Brady. The bass player from Spin Doctors, Mark White, is also on this track, helping him out. The song is called Chasing Vampires. It's like a classic rock 90s alternative mixed together, but kind of polished up. It's really, really good.

And if you like the song, make sure to check out the music video. It is, again, Carter Brady. The song is chasing vampires. about you It's crazy that I wait so long to tell you Now I know that I've been long with you So you can take it out on me too I would take the shambles from my mask

And make it into our books that will last I don't know what I've been funny about you I can't believe that I kept myself outside you Being sad just waste the time we have Where we could find a way to come back Lovers came in lovebirds left as norms that know they can go on and feel reborn

I think I'm a couple lover I'm just talking to need a good cover I know what it's all about women need a man who's figured it out Now I know I've been thinking about you, now I know I've been thinking about you. It's crazy that they would wait so long to tell you. Now I know how they've been wrong with you, so you just need to see how they do.

Lovers came and the birds left as knolls that know they can go on and feel reborn. I came down to help the lovers. I'm just stuck the two who need a good comfort. I know what it's all about. women need a man who's figured it out I came down to love on lover I'm just hoping to the need of your buffer I know what it's all about

Women need a man who's figured it out Figured it out Figured it out I see. So that's what's going on in town. Yes. Chubapimunianu. All right. We've returned back from that song. That song again was. That song again is Carter Brady. The song is called Chasing Vampires, brand new single from Carter Brady.

Nice. One of the lesser-known bradies from the Brady Bunch. Hey, look at this, everybody. It's time for us to call Bill and talk to him because why the heck not? I've been thinking about Bill a lot. I'll tell you why in a second. Oh, wow. Cool. But before we do that, we've got to play this here, deal. your bat caves open there bill the reason i've been thinking about bill a lot uh is because i've been replaying the mass effect series in the form of the new legendary trilogy release uh which is all remastered 4k hDR you know frame rate blah blah blah all that stuff

120 frames per second it looks amazing and uh holds up really well and that game's incredible and the reason i think of bill of course is some of my first and earliest interactions with bill were him cool stuff around that game or around that series and then you know of course dragon age and all those other things so uh just been thinking a lot about it every time um shepherd pulls this pistol out and there's like a paragon slash uh what's the other one renegade option uh there's that pistol there's that one oh yeah yeah i feel like have i should bring mine to the couch where i'm playing and hold it up every time it happens i don't but i should i do that sometimes yeah you should It's the right thing to do and the tasty way to do it.

But anyway, it's, yeah, like, oh, KCDady has one as well. Yeah, his Mass Effect Blaster is just amazing. Yes, awesome. It's really, that just represents a very builder-in time for me. It does, right? Yeah, yeah. It's an amazing game, though. I'm in the middle of two again and just, oh, man, I'm loving it so much.

I can't wait to finish it out. And then I'm going to play Andromeda because, A, they fixed a bunch of the problems it had, and B, I just want more. I love that world. I want more. so keep it coming and hey EA if you got more coming great make some more mass effect please because i'll play them all right bill it's good to have you here of course the purveyor of all things punished props at punish props.com comes on the show on tuesdays or mondays and we talk about

cool stuff that he's making and or the way he makes things and this week we got a question from somebody named terry toby now terry two be i just have to ask uh in heroes of the storm we call Jim Rainer two-button Terry. Is this a reference to that with the two and the B and the Terry? I'm curious. Anyway, write it and let me know. He says this, hey, Bill, what's the worst shop accident you've ever had? And what advice do you have for others to avoid that kind of thing from Terry?

What would you say to Terry or anyone else who's looking to be safe? And also, what is your worst terrible thing? Because I don't know if we've heard it. It sounds like, oh, my God, it sounds like it's going to be a saw-movie level of, a torture. Probably a saw involved, right? Probably some sort of saw. Not too bad. I have been quite fortunate in my workshop accidents. Believe it or not, in my entire life, I have never broken a bone and I've never needed stitches. Damn. Yeah. Very nice. I've never had stitches, but I've had broken bones, so you've won up to me. Nice job. There have been a couple of times when I

thought, boy, this feels broken. But I didn't get it checked out. So I don't know. It was a little mysterious there, but... And there were been a couple times where I got a cut where I thought I should probably get that stitched, but if I super glue it closed,

that might do it. And the super glue works. So... Sure. I was saying I don't get hurt in the shop, but never bad enough to obviously require the intervention of an expert. But you've got some friends, like even, like, YouTube pals that have, like, lost fingers and digits and stuff, right?

Yeah. I'll get to that in a moment. I will say, though, the worst, the very worst I've done in this shop has been with a hot glue gun. It was, it was like three in the morning. I was actually desperately trying to finish my Dragon Age costume, my Hawk Mage costume. And I was hot gluing pieces of fur onto the costume, and I covered the back of a piece of fur and hot glue. And then instead of putting it on the armor, I dropped it on the palm of my hand, glue down. Oh, wow.

And that burned a lot. That burned really, really badly. Jeez. So that was the worst I had ever done. And my hand healed up just fine. Yeah, that's not too bad. I was afraid you're going to tell something dark and horrible. Like, I had to cauterize a hemorrhoid and I used a glue gun to do it.

No. Although the other day I was using a power drill. and it skipped off of the screw and the spinning tip of the Phillips drill bit did sort of carve a neat little hole in my thumb. That happened. A neat little hole. Little things like that happened every once in a while.

A nice clean hole. Yeah. It was like a tiny little melon baller went in there and just scooped out a hunk of flesh. Little things like that's healed up, though. It's not, it's fine now. There's a tiny scar, but little things like that happen all the time, but nothing too horrible.

Yeah. But there were, I have been taking my workshop safety pretty seriously, especially over the last few years. And there were two things that inspired me other than obviously it's the right thing to do. And I'm getting older and feeling a little more safety confidence. Fragile. A little more fragile. Definitely feeling very mortal. Right.

Yeah. So the two things that really inspire me. One, I have an older friend, my older friend, I mean, a friend who's been working in Hollywood in the effects industry for like four. 40 years, right? He's in the 60s. He's been doing it forever. Yeah. A couple of years ago, he said something that really struck a chord with me. He said something like, now that I'm in my 60s, my friends, I have friends who are starting to die of the things we were joking about in our 20s. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

So you open the can of barge and you're like, woo, getting high on glue fumes, isn't that? Well, they were doing that, you know, in the 80s and 90s and not wearing proper safety equipment. not having a ventilated space and getting cancer. Like, that, like, Stan Winston, what does Stan Winston die of? He died of cancer. Yeah, well, you're right. So hearing that from someone who's been doing it for a long time and getting that little bit of reality was helpful for me.

I was like, okay, right. I'm still pretty young compared to other people in the effects industry who've been doing it a long time. If I make a difference now or change now, it'll make a difference 20, 30 years from now. that inspired me a lot. That's good to think. Actually, it's good in general. Just everybody.

Pay attention to older people when they give you good advice. It actually, some of that stuff's good. I mean, if they come up to you and go, you know, I still don't think those colored people should be. Not that kind of advice. No, no, no, no. That's not what I mean. But if they come at you, you're going. You use your best judgment on which piece of advice to follow.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But when they're saying things like, you know, 30 years ago, I used to work with reckless abandon in the shop and now I have a third eye. Okay. Maybe we avoid that. Good advice, good advice, grandpa. Sure. Yeah.

The other event that really inspired me, a friend of mine, he's about my age, built his own pressure pot, which is the tool we use to compress liquids and stuff. He built his own, and he's a really smart guy. Super smart. Yeah. But not quite smart enough to think of everything. And there was a weak spot in the pressure pot, and it exploded. Like, it's a real bomb.

I have a pressure pot. it is a professionally made one it was very expensive and it will not blow up the homemade one he missed he missed one little detail and it blew up and he's still with us

but only barely like it could have killed him so when you say pressure pots these are like they'll screw down like uh yeah pressure cooker yeah it's like a pressure cooker but

you just you don't you don't add heat you just pump air into it and pressurize it Oh, I see. And any pressure vessel should be handled carefully. It's just a general in life. Even your little instapot that you have a house. Absolutely.

There's a reason you can't open that thing, but that little tab goes down. You can't open that thing while there's any sort of pressure in there. Yeah, yeah. It's a tiny little bomb. It's exactly what it is. It's a little bomb. So anyway, he lost an eye. He's a very good sport about it.

But that kind of sent a ripple through our community. We're like, holy crap. We are all fragile human beings who need to take. care of ourselves yeah no kidding nobody wants to lose an eye from the pressure cooker what do you use a pressure what do you use a pressure pot for by the way in prop making yeah so when you cast resin um there can be tiny little bubbles in there and especially if it's a transparent resin you'll see those bubbles oh sure so you you pour the liquid resin into your mold you put it in the pressure pot before it's cured and then you pressurize it and those two

those little bubbles get compressed into solution and then it cures that way and those bubbles are gone. It's really magical. It's a super impressive process. Yeah. Oh, I just found a video of a pressure pot exploding. Holy Moses. Yeah, perhaps avoid that.

Yeah. Well, imagine if your head was like three feet away from that thing. That's what happened about that. Oh, it's horrendous. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm glad he's with us. He's doing great.

Yeah. It's real bad. So, like I said, ever since those things, I've been taking workshops to your safety pretty seriously. So how do I stay safe? Here's some good advice. Not being in a hurry. That's the biggest thing.

Being in a hurry is going to get you hurt. And then the second most important thing is probably the first or second. Whatever you're working on, focus on the task in the moment. This can be hard if you have a podcast playing or music going. If you're doing something hard, turn off that podcast or something that might be dangerous. Turn off the music. Focus on the thing you're doing. doing in the moment. I catch myself

every once in a ball thinking about what I'm going to do next. Okay, I'll cut these four things out. All right. Then when do we have to do next, my mind will wander. If I'm standing in front of the table saw when I'm doing that, that's a bad time for my mind to wander. So you just got to stay focused on the time of hand. If you're having

a bad day and your mind is all over the place, don't use a table saw. Push that project off until tomorrow. Yeah. And that goes along with not hurry. as well. Yeah.

And then safety equipment is critical. Lungs, that's the one that will get you over a long period of time if you are negligent. Working in a well-ventilated area whenever using any chemicals is super important. My basement is not terribly well-ventilated. If I need to use any noxious chemicals, I should do that outside or open a window with a fan pointing out and also wearing a respirator. also wearing a respirator with the correct filters. Those are all really important. Your ears, I keep

ear muffs like ear protectors at all of my loud tools. So next to my grinder, next to my band saw, I just keep ear protection there. So you go to use that tool, you put on the ear protection. You can get ear protectors at Harbor Freight for less than $10 each, so

you might as well buy a few of them. There's no excuse. That's right. My wife's dad woodworker guy and spent His whole life, you know, building everything from, you know, people would redo their homes in New Orleans. He'd go out there and do all the woodwork or whatever, all the finishing and stuff. And he has two things now. He's, I guess, 70, 71 that came from all that work.

And one is the hearing thing. He didn't muffle enough. And the second is he's got like a persistent always kind of congestion thing from all the sawdust. So he'd wear protection. But it still, it wasn't great protection. and the ventilation, and there wasn't great. So he's had enough, like, wood filing chippings in his chest for long enough that now it's just like having a permanent cold.

Yeah, yeah. And there's certain things you might breathe in, like metals. Sometimes I'll work with, like, aluminum powder. Yeah. If you breathe that in, that aluminum is going to be a part of you for the rest of your life. Yeah. Just there are things you can absorb and breathe into your body that will never leave. Yeah.

Just there's no way to remove. it. So the only way you can keep that from happening is from preventing it from getting it in the first place. That's right. If you don't want that'll, I don't mind about going there. I had an idea. It popped into my head. I could have taken the path and I decided not to take it. Congratulations, Scott. You've really avoided some emails. So in our, and I'm setting up the basement right now for our shop and I have a dust collector. It's not a great dust collector. I could get a better one. But I have a dust collector from Harbor Freight. and I'm going to set up ducting to attach it to all of my tools that generate a lot of dust.

I also have a dust filter. It's a big machine that just pulls air in, filters out the dust, and pumps out clean air. So, you know, you run the dust collection, you run the dust filter, you wear a dust mask or a respirator for creating dust. And you do this, you do this every single time you turn on one of those machines. And that's just the rule. It's just the rule for the rest of your life. The alternative is, I'm not feeling like turning all that stuff. on a day, I'd rather

be part wood. I'd rather absorb wood or plastic like the alkaline lake and animals training the statues. Yeah. Cool. Obviously gloves, protect your hands. My hands are the things that probably get beat up the most. But they're doing okay. Again, no stitches

yet. And then eyes, obvious. You don't like, you don't want to lose. You get a shard of something in your eye and that's it for the rest of your life. Yeah, you want the, your eyes are good. If you've got eyes, you want to keep them if you can. Even if they suck. Yeah.

They're still better than that eyes. Oh, yeah, dude. Bad eyes are so much better than no eyes. Freaking forget it. So I have my normal glasses on all the time. That's not necessarily good enough. If I'm doing anything dumb, I have a face mask that goes over my whole face. And I also have prescription safety glasses that I splurged on a few years ago.

So if I'm like using the grinder a bunch, I put a dust mask on, I put my safety glasses on. If you're really worried, put that face mask in front of it, too. like I have this big face shield because I mean like if I got a shard of something in my cheek you know it's not going to blind me but I got a you know now I got a cheek scar I don't want to deal with so do you

make my money with this face do you when you say splurged what does it cost these days to get prescription protective eyewear I assume it's not I don't I remember I spent I had um

what was it I had a certain amount could spend based on whatever insurance I had at the time. I think it was like $4 or $500 for that pair. Yeah. But it was also like we were shopping at a designer place because we had insurance money to spend. If I was spending my own money, I would, I probably would have shopped around a bit. But I think it was like four or five hundred bucks. Okay.

That sounds about what I would expect. But I'm here to tell you that you cannot spend that kind of money to get your eyeball back. No, you can't. Exactly. It turns out. What cheaper to get the prescription protected lessons? Yeah, you're not going to... In fact, there is no price you can pay to get your eyeballs.

Not yet, anyway. Crossing my fingers for cyborg eyes soon. Again, the sucky eyeball. My negative six and a half vision would love to just be replaced by some robo mechanical eyes. Yeah, dude. Yeah, that's how my eyes were before my surgeries. They're horrendous. They're better now.

But hey, modern science can't fix everything. So don't poke them out. Okay? Yep. That's the rule. They like them eyeballs. Good stuff. all around. Take care of yourselves in there and whatever, even if it's small stuff, you're just

messing with 3D printers for the first time. Just kind of know your way around them. You know, don't get certain melted stuff and you're breathing and, you know, those, those hot ends get hot. Little shards of PLA are friggin sharp, man. Look out for those. They'll pop off of a thing and go right in your eye. That's right. You get a bright green sliver somewhere. You don't want that. Let's do a quick bonus link. You got something this week? Yeah. Alex, the cook, the French guy. guy cooking? He's doing a whole series on fried rice. That is just phenomenal. Wow. Speaking of rice cookers,

let's see. I want to see what's pixelated out in this image here. Oh, yeah, it's so enticing. Oh, there's something pixelated. Oh, I didn't see the preview. Ooh, rice. He's got that dark rice, that squid. Do you do squid? Oh, squid ink? Yeah.

Oh, that's so, I don't have the guts to do it. I've tried to think, I've been tempted. I can't do it. It's got such a light flavor. You'd be fine with that it's completely Oh, but it's the nervous squirt of a freaking squid.

It's a squid going, oh, shit, and and then leaving the ink. You know, it's not pee. It's not poop. It's just ink. It's the third awful thing. My high school wrestling nickname was nervous squirt.

It was also your finishing move. Just shoot a bunch of ink and then swim away. There you go. That's how you get out. All right. Bill, as always a pleasure. Continue being safe and making rad stuff. Everybody out there, go check out PUNCHPROPS.com.

And, of course, give him a follow on Twitter. We'll see you soon. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. All right. Yeah, squid ain't do it. Oh, you'd be fine. How many?

Have you had... Of all the weird... Yeah, I've had a lot of it, actually. Do you just crap black for the next three weeks? No. No. Don't even... I don't even...

It's not a strong flavor, so it's like... Like, it's not something I seek out, like, oh, I hope they've got squitting. But if it's like a squitting pasta anyway, and it's the rest of the meal is something I would have ordered, be like, oh, yeah, that sounds great. I'll totally get that. Because it just feels like, like, it's like eating skunk smell pasta. It's like, it's the nervous thing a skunk does. Same thing. It's like a little stink that's separate.

It is, it's, it's, it's used for the same thing. but it's not like you're eating skunk spray, right? It's a different animal. It's a different thing. Right. No, I get it, but I'm saying I would be as likely to do that as I would the other. Like, I don't understand why somebody's defensive, greasy, defensive mechanism

is something I want to put on a plate and eat. I don't know why that sounds so bad to me. I try to think of another good example. Like, yeah, but I can't think of anything that we'd eat on the regular that is some sort of animal. defense. I mean, I guess we're, you know, whatever. People make amazing food out of everything now, so. Sure. Yeah. Sure. Who can complain. All right. Let's get Steven Schleiker in here. Now, he was gone last week. I don't know if you remember that, but he... I remember that. I marked it

on my calendar to dock his pay. Yeah, he had a bit of a meeting type deal. So now he's back. Steven Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Oh, Cleo has a good point about honey. It's not a defensive mechanism, but it's, you know, it's freaking, it's bee spit, right? B bar. Uh-huh. Yeah, see, that's pretty gross. It's their response to pollen.

I guess I do eat them. All right. Hey, Steven Schleiker, you like a good honey bum, a bee, bee excrement, right? You into that? You like that? Honey bum. I mean, yeah. Oh, good.

I used to have allergies really, really bad. And the doctor was like, well, none of these medications are helping you. you might want to just try what is it, native honey? Local honey, you need to find honey that's local. Yeah, yeah. And at the time, we couldn't find any in my immediate area. So if we ordered it or had to go somewhere else to get it,

it would have been out of the area that I was most allergic to. Right. And stuff's coming to mind now. Like whale vomit is a huge thing in the perfume industry. Oh, ambergris or whatever it is. Yeah. Someone in the chat mentioned. and the anal gland of a beaver is used for, like, flavoring something.

But again, you're not eating any of that stuff. Well, I mean, I don't know that I am, but I guess I probably am. In the case of the vanilla extract anal beaver thing, I probably am, right? And just not knowing that I'm eating. No, because I think 99% of your vanilla you get is from vanilla beans. From Benines? Benines, yes. Benidio del Toro is where you.

get your vanilla. But honey, I mean, I'll eat honey. I like honey. And you like eggs. Do you like eggs? Those come out of a chicken's vagina. Vigae. Or whatever they call. What is a chicken? It's a vagina, right? For a chicken? Well, we figured out the name is the Clovis. Oh, the Clovis. Cloaca. Yes, we did this. We had this discussion. Yes, exactly. Cloaca. Yeah, I do have eggs. I'll have eggs. I don't know. Do you guys ever drink that poop coffee? Oh, the sit-cat stuff. Oh, yeah. Dodd Vickers got me some of the civet cat coffee and it is delicious. I guess I tasted it because I wanted to do it for the show or whatever, but see, yeah, it's fine. I'm not going to go drink a ton of it. I can't, I'm, I have a harder time

separating that stuff in my head. It's just harder for me. And like, you know, when you eat, I don't know, like a steak, you didn't have to go out and, like, slaughter the animal. And if I did, I probably felt different. I know exactly where the steak is coming from. Right. I killed it with my own hammer. Like I, like, I didn't have to do any of that or like a chicken. I didn't have to go cut his head off and bleed it and feather it and all that. So I think part of me is like I would be lousy in this like 1700s, 1800s, I would be the worst because I'd have to see everything like that. I guess I'd be used to it because I'd live then, but I don't know.

Anyway, hey, speaking of poop coffee. There's nothing to do with anything. No, it has nothing to do with anything. Hey, I didn't see Modoc yet because I was out of town, so I haven't had a chance. Brian, did you consume me? I did. I downloaded the first few episodes to my iPad for the flight home and watch the first two on the plane and it's man people love it you don't

like it people I don't know it's fine it's amazingly mediocre yeah yeah that's a really good it's I thought I missed be reading all the wrong dues reviews or something everybody I thought was raven on this thing and and Patton I mean the you know the the voice work is great it's just uh I don't know I need more of something I either need more can ameos by really goofy but real Marvel characters, or I need better humor that isn't just, I fight in the marital bed. Yeah, if you like Robot Chicken and Fincher Brothers,

this will have you on the floor and laugh in every five minutes. Yes, it is absolutely the same level of humor as Robot Chicken, which I watch, and I think I watch more for the pop culture. Oh, wouldn't it be funny if Harry Potter was an auctioneer or something like that? You know, it's that kind of humor, but there are, I will say there are some moments in this, and especially at the end. And without spoiling too much, the end is, the whole way through. Yeah, in fact, I fell asleep a couple of times because this is so mediocre.

I'm going to sleep for like 10 minutes and still be able to pick up what's going on. Modos. But the ending really anticipates that they're going to get a second season out of those. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. And there are some little fun, little touching moments that go on in this. And there are some nice pieces.

But for the most part, it's just like, give me a highlight reel and that's all you need. Speaking of Modoc, I didn't see it. But I got in a mood while I was on this trip. I'll put this in the chat here. Oh, yes, right. We never even talked about this. Yeah, I decided to make a bry doc. It's Brian Ibitt as Modoc.

And most people's comments were, fart gas, fart gas, because that's. Well, it's true. Yeah. But yeah, like I was such in the mood for the show that I drew that. I was super stoked about it. I downloaded two episodes. Didn't have time to watch them. So I just didn't. But now I'm nervous. Now my couple of people I trust in this area aren't loving it. Yeah. And one of them's even a huge modoc fan has a big modoc right here next to me. Yeah. Look at that. Hi, I'm Patton Oswald. You know, as far as all the voice actors go, it's really great as far as some of the situation. So, you know, the main setup. is and this is just spoiler for episode one modoc is am is out of money so he sells his company to you know some mega corp and now he has to deal with right a google knockoff yeah and then his wife is divorce divorcing him so and that's and there's your premise for the rest of the sumero from brooklyn nine nine you've got uh uh beck bennett from s nl as uh what's his name not justin what's the uh the the dude austin van deer Austin. Mr. Durr, whatever.

Ben Schwartz, you said him, I think. Amy Garcia, she's great. I like her. She's funny. Well, that's a bummer. I'm a little bummed now. I don't know what I would, I don't know what I wanted differently,

because it is definitely played up as a comedy with some soft moments in it. I kind of was wanting something more, let's not make Modoc a dumbass. Right. But he's Modoc. He's supposed to kind of be a dumbass. I mean, yeah, exactly.

You want, he needs to be, he's still kind of a, quote unquote, genius mastermind. Right. Yeah. Yeah, just want a little bit more. And maybe, you know, maybe they get this first season off the, out of the way and they'll be able to do something a little bit more. I've never heard you so mad on anything before in my life. This is the most mad ever. It's very mad.

Okay. Oh, wait until we talk about Army of Darkness. Oh, I mean, Army of the Dead. Oh, really? All right. that for Film Sack this weekend. Sounds like we may have picked a good one then. I think so, yeah.

So here's the thing. Here are my thoughts on Army of the Dead. Okay. If you like zombie movies and you like Oceans 13, you're going to enjoy this movie. I enjoyed this movie. It is a zombie movie. Yeah. It's also a Zach Snyder movie.

Yeah. And I swear to God, Zach Snyder's editor, who is Doty Dorn, needs to be sat down and have an explanation that's, and be explained to him that not everything that you shoot has to go into the piece. This is a two and a half hour movie that could be trimmed down to a really tight and really super fun one hour, 45 minutes.

Yeah, I heard that too. I heard it's my daughter, oldest daughter texted me last night. She said, have you seen it yet? I said, not yet. She goes, it's total crap and we loved it. So... Yeah, and it's fun. I mean, it is a zombie movie. Don't expect anything more than than a zombie movie. People are

going to die. There's some a weird bit that is totally, I kind of know why it stayed in there, but they could have trimmed out this hole, and I don't want to spoil it because it is kind of a bit. But there's this whole thing when you get to it. You'll go, now, why did they need to include

that at all? It doesn't need to be in there. And if you just trimmed out that whole storyline that involves the zombies getting smarter and wanting to go out and do things, then the movie would just be dumb zombies. Let's blow them up and let's get some money and get out of here. Which is what you want, right?

Exactly. I want zombies. I want Vegas. I want to see the two together. I want, I want a zombie actually brushing by the mega million slot machine and having a bunch of quarters spill out or something like that. Yeah. Well, the good news is universal

praise for the music. In fact, the chat's having a discussion about it right now. I would just like to remind everybody who scored the film. That would be Junkie XL. Oh. Tom Holkenberg. Reset your, reset your clocks everybody. If you don't know who that is,

Well, let me remind you. He wrote the score for Mad Max Fury wrote. Oh, well, I was going to say, if you liked the slowed down versions of all your favorite songs, then this is also a movie. Oh, did they do a lot of those? A lot of the, like when they take a Lord's song and make it all slow or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool.

People like that. What if the soundtrack's out? Oh, I'm sure it is. Yeah. And Brian likes. I mean, listen, I did not, I didn't walk away from Army of the Dead and say, I hated this. I was like, oh, it's an enjoyable movie. I wish it was shorter.

Did you like his 2004, Dawn of the Dead? I actually did like that. A lot. A lot of people really hated it because they thought that they were crapping on Romero, but 28 days later kind of already did that. Well, I felt like that broke. That broke the mold and then, you know,

Snyder comes in and does his thing. And I thought it was fine. Yeah. How's Batista? How's he in there? Oh, I really like him. He's really good. Yeah.

He's a charmer. There's not a whole lot of depth on any of the characters. he is the one that has probably the most but I should say Scott don't get attached to anybody yeah okay they're all going to die by the way the woman that gets smashed

in the opening credits under a shipping container is Danielle Brugio who was our interview guest on A&TP this season that's right that's right she kept talking about how she was involved with Snyder's some of Snyder's stuff

and that when she was in that So that was her big moment? That was her big moment, yes. The opening credits even, sadly, she doesn't even make it through. Well, I'll watch it for that alone. That'll be fun. I liked her. She was my favorite guest you've ever had.

She was great, yeah. Well, this is, you know, it's a time to be alive when you want to watch your genre films. Should we get one more, a big heaping of mediocrity? Yeah, what do we got there? Love Death Robots? Oh, wait, hold on. Don't tell me that. Don't tell me that.

Well, number one, it's a heaping of it's. only eight shorts. Yeah. So you can literally watch it in two hours. But they got a third one, a third season coming much quicker. I was hoping that we would have gotten like 20, 20 shorts so that you'd have a sampling of some stuff that's really,

really good, some stuff that's really, really bad and a whole bunch of stuff that's in the middle. There's only like one or two of the episodes that I thought were worth watching again. It's like an S&L episode is what you're describing there. Yeah. So hold on then. So, so there's eight of them and you'd say there's like two are good? there's two of them that I really enjoyed.

Okay. The rest I were just like, eh, okay. Well, I'm going to watch it because I got to, but now I'm nervous. Oh, man, that's a bummer to hear that. Okay. How about that Lego Daily Bugle? Is it also a bummer? Is it a piece of crap?

Here's something that'll be really great, but it's going to set you back about $300. Lego announced, I think it was mid-last week, the Marvel Lego Daily Bugle building that is pretty tall it doesn't it's not really super detailed i mean it's basically you know set some boxes on top of one another and add a fire escape and some signage but i think the thing that people are really going to

go nuts for over this are all the mini figures 25 mini figures in this thing so you get doc octopus spider man venom but only about 14 that you really care about yeah pretty much yeah i would say that's spider ham green goblin peter parker spider gwin mysterious sandman

Robbie Robertson uh and then they have have five mini figures that are exclusive to this set. J. Jonah Jameson, a black cat, daredevil and the Punisher. And you get the Spider Man's spider buggy, and it does stick to the side of the building so it can drive up walls for you. It looks pretty cool. There are about five Lego sets that I have on my wish list that I've been putting off

because they are up in this 300 to higher range. And so I haven't bought Lego in a couple of years because of that. This is one that I think I'm just going to go ahead and use my Lego VIP points or my membership or whatever and buy this thing on Wednesday and get it early. Nice. Wow. That's cool. It's pretty good.

It's got Firestorm in it. I know. I love it. Or Firestar, you mean. Yeah, Firestar, sorry. Yeah, but it doesn't have Ms. Lyon. Like, if you're going to give me Firestar, give me Iceman and give me Mizline. I'm kind of surprised it doesn't have Eddie Brock. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it does have, it does have a Venom figure in it. But yeah, no Eddie Brock by himself. Where's the...

Because, you know, you've got your other, your other reporter. Oh, does it have... Did we say it has Robbie Robertson? It does have Robbie Robertson. Where's, where's Venom? I don't see... And it's got Biddy Brant isn't in there as well. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. I don't see Venet. Yeah, I'm, I'm shying away now from getting Legos only because I love, love, love, love, putting them together. I have so much fun doing that. But then after they're put together, I'm like, all right, what am I doing with this thing? Am I making another shelf to put it on the wall so I could just keep dusting it?

Am I breaking everything down? Because I'm never going to put this thing back together again if I do, because they won't all be back in their original bags. I don't see venom in there. Yeah, Venom's in there. And I think Daredevil is in there. I think there is a carnage in there as well. Oh, really?

I don't see carnage or venom. I don't know why. I'm looking. Yeah, scroll down and you'll don't go through the still images, but if you scroll through, you'll see some pictures. there that pop up. Yeah, my problem is kind of the same way, Brian, when I had to clean out the Nerd Room of Doom

a couple of years ago because of the water damage, we actually got a storage shed, a storage facility, and half of them, half the storage facility is unopened statues, and the other half is Lego boxes and Lego,

you know, yeah, big sealed bins of Lego that I've just like, I got no room for this stuff. So that's one of, that's another reason why I haven't. You're also not a lot of Lego. You're not as hip as these dudes are now that do Legos. Let me show you a photo here.

But I do want Mysterio. Like, I want that Mysterio. I know, right? Yeah. Wouldn't be worth it just to get the mini-fake-fag. Well, the other thing is, if you want to get some of these. Got the Lego bro right there. Yeah, look at him.

You know, he's got the top knot and everything going. Yeah, yeah. It's a good look. If you really want some of these figures, Brian, a couple of things. Number one, go on to eBay. People will be selling these just as individuals. but you're probably going to be spending 10 to 30 $30 depending on the level of the character.

Yeah, I'm not even into it that much. Yeah, so the Mysterio one will probably go for $30. Spider-Han will probably go for $15. The other thing is you can always go to, you can always go online and you can find fan-made versions of these. Right, actually, I did buy a fan-made Mysterio at one of the comic conventions. Yeah, yeah. So the only downside on those is they're kind of painted

and sometimes you get what you pay for on those. So be careful with that. The person who did the Mysterio one actually, it's great. Like it is a little fishbowl on his head. They had stickers made for the pattern on his chest with the two eyes that hold his cape. I mean, they did a really good job. And I only paid, I think, five bucks for it or something. But, yeah, listen, if anybody out there wants to buy it, but they don't want to put it together, let me know.

I'll put it together for you. here's the other thing now the this one will be around for a while I don't see this as a limited edition one although it does come in the black box so you do have to be careful with those because those tend to be out for just a couple of years and then they disappear this one I think is going to be around for a while but you might want to buy two open one to have fun with and then literally keep the box in great condition because some of these things I would bet within the next 10 years again you're going to have to keep these long term but an open daily bugle box will probably go for $800 in about five to 10 years.

Oh, that long? Okay. So you could do it as an investment if you wanted, but yeah. Yeah. And this is, this is one of the, this is one of the fairly, you know, mass produced ones. If you go into some of those expert city stuff that they sell that are limited edition stuff, those things will go, if you go back trying to get some of the early ones, they're like $3,000 for one of those. Well, if anything, if anything's, if I've learned anything in the last two months. It's that we should really go hardcore on more collectibles and raid all the targets in the morning with a knife out and just really

fighting the parking lot over other items. Yeah, exactly. They had to stop doing collectible train cards at Target and Walmart. Yeah, Target and Walmart is a video floating around of a Walmart stampede that is just like unbelievable. I couldn't believe it.

But yeah, they pulled all that. They pulled NHL, NFL, and MLB cards and one other thing Oh Yeah, it sucks to have been my 10 year old during the pandemic Because he really likes Pokemon cards And he wanted some of the new sets for his birthday

And I had to go and spend a crap ton of money Just to get these When I could have just gone to Walmart And said, oh, here's here's 10 packs Let me buy these 10 packs It's pretty annoying that I got as bad as it But I guess you can still get Digimon Which says, I don't know what that says about Digimon

Yeah, I think Yu-Gio maybe too Yeah, all those are still available and fine quantities. Well, all right. Good stuff, as always. These sorts of things are covered on the frequent over at major spoilers.com,

and I'd recommend it. That'd be great. Oh, let's really quickly talk about the Eternals trailer. There's no trailer. Look, where is it? I can't find it. Look at the Marvel.

I don't know if it's the Marvel Studios or it's probably also on the Marvel Twitter that they posted. It's a good two and a half minute trailer for the piece that kind of sits everything up and you get to see all of the main actors in their costumes, which are basically, you know, your

robes and your tight tight leather stuff. It's pretty neat as a teaser video. For people who don't know anything about the Eternals, if you are familiar with Von Donakin's Chariots of the Gods and you know, Jack Kirby was kind of into that stuff in the time

period, that's what Eternals is all about. And don't be surprised when you start saying, well, why is this, why is Angelina Joe Lee's character called Athena and why is this other character called Icarus and Searcy and Gilgamesh. This is where all of the myths are supposed to have come from is from the Eternal. So they all have different spellings of those historical mythological character names.

And cast-wise, hold on here. It's got it's got a big, it's got a, yeah, John Snow, Rob Stark. Oh, Richard Madden, yeah, he's cool. Richard Madden. Okay. This mum. Oh, that's who it is. Oh, and Kit Harrington is in this, it says, with Kit Harrington. Oh, really?

Yeah. At the bottom, it has three withs. One is with Kit Harrington, with Salma Hayek, and with Angelina Jolie. So I assume they have smaller roles doing something in there. Right. With Kit Harrington. And the rest. Yeah, and the rest.

Well, I mean, there's a lot of them. There's a lot of them in this. So you're going to probably focus on five or six, and then the rest will be there in group scenes. Well, I'm excited because I really liked Nomad Land. So everything I'm basing this on is mostly about direct. her and I want to see how she handles something like this. So I'm pretty excited about that. Yeah, I hear she used real Eternals as stand-ins.

Oh, good, good. Yeah, but she's known to do that, right? Like she has the real people. And so why not? That's what I was looking for. She uses real Eternals as extras. Do they use a real bucket this time when one of the Eternals has to poop in a bucket? Angelina Jolie poops in a bucket.

Great, perfect. No wonder Brad Pitt got out of there. All right, moving. Stephen is always a pleasure. Anything happening on the site this week? People should check out. No, just an average week. We're wrapping up the week this,

Is he? Claire, how do you know these things? How do you know he's such a dick? I've talked. Because he was in Ireland filming Game of Thrones. So there you go. That's true. But, like, I interviewed Hodor, and he didn't, he, Christian Nairn didn't say he was a dick.

Is he the type who would, who would say anything bad about anybody, though? No, probably not. It's probably why they don't call him a dick. Yeah, but Claire is the type who would say something bad about somebody. Yeah, she is. Not really. We tease. Yes.

Give us some credit where it's due is what we're asking. Yeah. All right. Here it is for real. My dearest gentleman, today I read. bring to you the joys of a cross-country journey. Friends, we shall soon embark on a trek taking us from the Great Falls of Niagara through the heartland of this great country and settling in the suburbs outskirts of the Mile High City. Yes, it's true. Soon we'll be the neighbors of the

legendary Coverville Master himself. The better half of me has taken a new role at a plant owned by a Mr. Smuckers, treating the world to his glorious, uncrustable sandwiches filled of peanut butter and jelly. This will be an adventurous move, of which three days will be in a wagon with two dogs and a four-year-old. Therefore, I must beg for a delightful jingle that will keep us in high spirits for this

long road ahead. Yours in this life and the next, the right family. That's lovely. By the way, all this move into Utah and Denver and Texas and everything that's going on right now, it's like this massive move from California, from

everybody's making. It has made, So the house, just four doors down for me, same floor plan as us, same size, same everything. Yep. They paid right around what we paid for when it was new. They paid 300 grand. They just sold two days ago. They just sold this house for $890,000. It is a buyer's market right now.

It is like if you're selling a house, boy, good, good for you. But if you're having to buy a house. Yeah, it's bad. It's so expensive. Like, and I guess if you're in California, that's nothing for, you know, 3,000 square feet, or no, what are we, 26, whatever we are. But that house just five years ago, 300 grand. Today, 890, 890.

I think we're heading toward a bubble. I'm sorry, I said buyers market. It is a seller's market, is what I mean. Oh, yeah. I thought that's what you said. You said the other way? That's what I said, too, but it's a seller's market. I knew so much of what you meant that it sounded the same to me.

You translated in your head. All right. So he wants a cover of a song. that maybe has to do with road trips or Colorado. Let's get to this one right here.
