Starting point is 00:01:00 Words with Stephen and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Many years ago, this was our town, USA. Our family and neighbors lived in the most beautiful land that man would ever see. One day, some tourists stopped by on their way west. They were as excited about our beautiful location as we were. A little too excited. In fact, they were thoughtless. waste. Wait out on that bench. Do you understand?
Starting point is 00:01:34 This is the morning stream asking, do dogs have brains? Because I really want to know. morning stream it's july no sorry june 7th 2021 i'm scott johnson with brian abid good morning brian hello and welcome to the 7th of june yeah it's uh you know what's the 7th anything famous today probably not nothing famous on the 7th that i know there's something there's something on the oh what do you got i can't read it because it's blocked here oh it's uh oh this is an irish public holiday congratulations claire it's oh it's very nice it is also the queen's birth Day in New Zealand. Western Australia Day.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Back in 1654, Louis the 15th, sorry, no, that's the 15th. I love his couch. Louis the 14th became King of France on that day in 1654. See, there's so much that happened on the 7th. On this day. You have to work on June 7th in Ireland. You still have to work even though it's listed here. is a public holiday?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah, y'all should take that one. Oh, it's just for the pubic of the leftist. Pubic Hots, the pubic of the leftist. Let's look at the, look at this. The decisive Battle of Midway ended World War II on this day in 1942. That's a big deal. And then finally, some birthdays, famous ones. French painter and sculptor Paul Gileon was born in 1848, but he's dead.
Starting point is 00:03:25 So who's fair about him? Let's talk about these people that are alive still. Welsh singer Tom Jones born in 1940. Oh, what's new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa. You know him from that one. Irish American actor Liam Neeson was born with a very special set of skills in 1952. Liam Neesons was born on this day?
Starting point is 00:03:43 Yeah, 52. Oh. And then Mike Pence, born in 1960. Well, crap, you had to screw everything up, didn't just God. You just had to, you had to blow it. Oh, Michael Sarah. We'll give him that one, 88. All right, yes. Come back to, come back to Michael Sarah.
Starting point is 00:03:59 That's fun to look at these things every, not every day, but it is. Totally is. Welcome back to the show, everybody. Got a lot to talk about, a lot to do, a lot to do. We got a very busy weekend. My whole week's going to be hell this week. It's just so much. I have stuff scheduled every minute of every day it feels like. And I don't know why I did that to myself, but I did it. It's my fault. It's just jam-packed and it's fine. In sort of anticipation of that, we decided on Sunday to just take a nice leisurely day. like you do on the only day I've really got off. And so I took Kim and the kids to the, well, two of the kids, Carter and Taylor, and then Dylan was there for a little bit, but they had to go for work thing.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And then the baby. And we went to Chinatown. Yeah, that's right. Salt Lake City has a Chinatown technically. Although, this is the funny thing about Chinatown. There are Chinese restaurants, a market, some other cool stuff in there that are Chinese. but it's mostly Korean stuff and stuff from Vietnam and like a fah place over here and a kimchi place over here and it's very like Asian in general there's a curry place like
Starting point is 00:05:10 even so we've got India in there it's just very Asian the way the way it is right I mean you get like Chinatown at least in some I think San Francisco probably takes their their Chinatown much more seriously than some states, some cities do. Because our Chinatown is kind of the same way. It's like, all right, if it's kind of like a general Asian town. Oh, yeah. And it was packed with everybody, well, I will say this. We were there and it was like tons of people.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Amazing adherence to mask standards because I think the Asians are used to it. Okay. Yep. We were like the old. We're expecting that, by the way. When we go to Japan in January, we are. 100% just no matter what's going on pandemic-wise, we're probably going to be wearing
Starting point is 00:05:55 our masks all the time whenever we're not eating or in our hotel or anything like that or maybe outside on the street. I don't know. Yeah, it's weird. Now, they should call it just Asia Town or something, but the name of the thing and outside they have a giant structure that looks like an ancient Chinese secret. And it has
Starting point is 00:06:12 it says Chinatown on it. So, you know, I don't know what they're going to do to change it. Like a Japanese Shinto gate kind of thing. Kind of like that, but very Japanese. But very Chinese. Yeah, whatever. I don't know what to call it, but... More ornate, gold and red.
Starting point is 00:06:26 It was funny, though, because, you know, it's easy for us. Brian and I, a couple white guys living in the Intermountain West. It's mostly us. You know what I mean? It's guys like us. It's a lot of people like us. That's who lives out here. People like us.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Yeah. Once in a while, you're like, oh, this is a guy from Tonga and check out that lady. She's black. And also that guy over there is Asian. Sweet. But most of us are these white guys. that's how it is out here. In Chinatown,
Starting point is 00:06:55 we were the only white people. It was great because it was this feeling of like, oh, right, that's how that feels. It feels, you get a taste of what it feels like to be a minority. And not in like the, you know, no one's given us crap. We're not, you know, we're not being discriminated against.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I don't mean in that level. But just that feeling of like, oh, right, we're not, we're quite literally not the dumb. dominant complexion. We're in the minority in this area. Yeah. I mean, in the whole world, really, if you think about it. Well, yeah, it's true. So anyway, we got fah, and it was amazing, an amazing fah at this place, like real legit, like amazing stuff. The chef in the back, this dude from Vietnam makes this amazing fah. So we had that, and we had that. What else do we eat? Oh, we got some kimchi at the thing. There was also a Korean bakery there, so we got some
Starting point is 00:07:47 these weird Korean red bean paste bakery things and hung around the market there for a bit. So Koreans do the stuff with the red bean too. I know that's big. That's big for the Japanese people, the red bean paste. Oh yeah. Yeah, the Koreans love the red bean paste. My brother likes to smear it on everything. It feels like. Anyway, I didn't know this place existed. This was all new to me because I just never knew about it. It's kind of in a part of town that you don't consider. It's kind of just dumpy. A lot of old car. like used cars, dealerships and stuff all up and down that part of the strip. And they just sort of like, eh, I don't know if any of this is interesting to me. And right nestled in there is this amazing oasis of incredible Asian food, Asian markets, Asian products.
Starting point is 00:08:33 It was awesome. I highly recommend it, especially if you already live here and didn't know this existed, just go in there and get you some. It was fantastic. Okay. That's cool. Here's the other thing. We had ramen Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Oh, very nice. Look at us with the new list. We had her 29th anniversary yesterday, Tina and I. Congratulations. Thank you. You guys are right around this time too, aren't you? Yeah, it's August. So we got a month or two, but yeah, pretty close.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Gotcha. And so we went to one of our favorite restaurants here in Denver. It's one I've taken a few tadpoolers to when they were in town, but it's called Osaka Raman. And it's in what's called the Rhino district, which is River North, R-I-N-O. and it's a huge arch district and they've even like they've got all sorts of like the the bicycle icons on the ground you know usually the spray painted thing that shows you where a bike lane is sure is a rhino on a bicycle oh wow it's it's a really really fun area and lots of good restaurants in there but you know my crazy neighbor um we were at a thing with them started afternoon a birthday party for some people across the street and we said well we're not eating because we're going to going out for our anniversary tonight and he says oh where are you going i said oh a soccer ramen he's like what that's like a you don't put on a jacket for that place it's like no just happens to be one of our favorite restaurants in denver it doesn't have to be like a oh anniversary we have to go
Starting point is 00:10:00 to a place where you put a jacket on oh i'm so with you on this i can't stand that expectation like who cares yeah go where you want exactly that's great so good ramen i assume you guys had a nice oh such incredible ramen and uh we get in there and it's like usually you have have to wait outside for a table and it's like 15 up to 35 45 minutes sometimes waiting for a table we go down there we get right in and it's like wow all right we're what's going on with this place and i'm thinking geez did something happen here and uh yeah um you know the bad yelp score recently or something and so we asked the uh we asked her server and and she says oh no it's 90 degrees outside uh people don't immediately think ramen
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yeah, the hot month's probably a little slower for ramen. Yeah, not quite as popular for ramen at 90 degrees outside. They seem surprised we ordered fah as well. The one guy said, oh, very warm weather for fah, he says. And then he just took the order. I say, I say soup is good any time of the year. Soup is good food is what they're to tell me. Give me a nice, give me a nice chili bowl of gazpacho, too, in the summer months.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I'm fine with that, too. Yeah, Brian likes his gazpacho. So, all right. So the other thing we did, ow. Kim and I decided it was movie night. And we didn't want to go to a theater. So we decided, hey, what's on? What's on? We got stuff. Let's see a thing. May as well use this TV that I spent good stimulus money on. And so we fired up one of Brian's recommendations and watched Greenland. Now, I will tell you, going into this, your review was solid. And I thought, okay, well, I'll get into this. It seems like a thing I'll like. Yeah. Better than adequate action movie in a time where we don't get as many action movies like this. Exactly. A movie came out originally. Yeah, exactly. Came out in 2020 originally right around.
Starting point is 00:11:55 It would have come out right around the time in theaters before stuff got shut down, but it got kind of lost in that shuffle. I'm here to tell you, I think Brian way undersold that. I think it's awesome. I think it's one of my favorite, if not my favorite disaster films. and I don't even know why I liked it. What? Really? Yeah, I really liked it. Like, I can't think of another disaster movie I like more.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I like it better than any of the stuff that the, the, what's their brothers did? Like Independence Day or 2012 or any of that. Any of those movies, this is a trillion times better. I like it better than I can't, I, I'm trying to think of some great disaster, recent disaster films. Like even old ones. like I'm trying to think of some I can't think of any right now but like Deep Impact Armageddon all that I like this better than all of those whoa better than Armageddon okay now you're now you're talking crazy I like Armageddon but I like Armageddon for a different reason what and here's why I think you
Starting point is 00:12:55 undersold it this is not a typical disaster film right at all no I and that's that's one of first things I said about it is that yeah this is not your oh we're constantly running from holes opening up in the ground and just when we think we're safe another thing is happening Right. I mean, it has some of the trappings of the genre, but for the most part, it's this much more on the ground personal story about a family and stuff going on around them. And I think the acting's really good. I think maybe Gerard Butler given his best performance maybe I've ever seen that I can think of. I mean, he's not known for, you know, he's kind of known for being like kind of one note. But they let him just have his accent in this and they played to it. And that was great. I thought Marina Baccarin was amazing in this. I thought she was really, really good. I liked her anyway, but I thought she was great in this. Not predictable at all that this couple that's on the outs. I almost don't want to give anything away. Which part, though?
Starting point is 00:13:55 When you say predictable, what do you mean? Like getting back together, you mean? Well, like what happens to these crazy kids at the end of the film? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what I liked about it is it didn't jam that stuff in my throat. And instead, it told it over time. So in the beginning, you knew there was trouble, but you didn't know why. They don't explain the relationship issues at all.
Starting point is 00:14:15 They just are like awkward and it's weird and the kid's coming over from school and she's on the treadmill and he just doesn't know what to say. And you're like, what's their deal? Why are they upset? And then as time passes, you get little pieces of what happened and a little more of what happened. And it's really late in the film that you find out why they were separated in the first place. And that's by the time they get to stick or whatever's name is. Scott Glenn Right, daddy's daddy backer in
Starting point is 00:14:41 By the way, Scott Glenn is my closest encounter I ever had with a celebrity that wasn't You know, some nerdtacular related thing So I was at the airport Closer than Breschen Mitt Romney's junk No, that was the closest, yeah And as he can't really get closer than that Yeah, but it felt so like, I don't know, felt like
Starting point is 00:15:02 That was going to happen at some point because he lives here I don't know. I don't know why that seemed was. Right. At some point, everyone at Utah will touch Mitz Junk. Yeah, that was going to happen at some point. But in his, but in this case, it was at the airport. He was in a trench coat, uh, dressed, just, you know, he was trying to be all incognito.
Starting point is 00:15:22 And Scott Klan, this is years and years ago, but he ran past everybody as if they were going to, like, full on, you know, uh, oh, look at Scott Klan, but nobody cared. Yeah, yeah. Nobody cared. They just, he's got such an everyman look. It's like, you know. know, he can probably get away with that more than other actors. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:41 And that was like the late 80s, so he was a lot younger, and I don't know how many people really knew him then. He was in Silverado and about a few other things, but the right stuff, I guess he was in that. But anyway, the point is, I liked how they've doled that story out over time. I liked that these weren't people making stupid decisions constantly. Yes. The world was affecting them.
Starting point is 00:16:03 So they were having that horrendous experience in the car Who she thought were nice people I also liked that the show kept Or the movie kept coming back to Hey by the way there are nice people Like those there are the Mr. Rogers Look for the helpers in this world And they're not all douchebags
Starting point is 00:16:20 Trying to get their own thing Right yeah I really liked it Like a lot liked it Like a lot Brian A lot All right so enthusiastic thumbs up from Scott Very much so. Must have hit me at the right time or something. I don't know what it was.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Yeah. Let's have. Which is good. I mean, you know, everyone's going to like things differently. Yeah. That's good. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Boy, imagine how you're going to feel about parasite. I know, right? Man, when I finally get around to that, let's see if Brian undersold that much as well. Impossible. I don't think of anything, I've way oversold it. Well, tell me what I'm doing this Saturday, because speaking of weekends, we got something coming out. Yeah. Well, since you're not going to be watching Parasite, we might as well get you for this. We're having a Demio or DeMayo. I don't even know how to pronounce this.
Starting point is 00:17:09 And I know they say it at the beginning of the game, and I forgot how she said it. But D-E-M-E-O, a live stream to benefit Alzheimer's research. Listen to this lineup of stars. It's a cavalcade of stars. Night of six stars. Five stars. It's a lot of stars. Jeez. It's still a lot of stars. Brian Dunaway, Stephen Schleiker, two people you're going to hear on the show today. Nicole Spagnolo, and then, of course, me and Scott.
Starting point is 00:17:41 We're going to be playing the game DeMeo, DeMeo. Let's put it this way. Everyone will be playing it but me for reasons. I'm not even going to get into. I'm just going to see how pissed I am at this device right here right now. I'm so mad at my headset. I just want to huck it across the room. Damn it.
Starting point is 00:17:56 It won't run. I can't get it to run. Long story short. my quest doesn't work and I can't figure out why and it sucks I wonder if you can still get um uh like is it under warranty you think like can you send it think so because it's what they give you a year honestly I think it either got because there's kind of a scuff on here I don't remember I think somebody maybe dropped it and didn't say anything I don't know who would have oh really um I mean could have been banned down here for all I know but um right or the battery I did have a long period of time
Starting point is 00:18:26 of no charge. And it's entirely possible that battery, sometimes lithium lions are like, oh, nope, sorry, you didn't charge and forget it. I'm not going to hold. I'm not going to take it. Nope, no. But I can't get power to do anything either. So that's why I wasn't sure it was that. But anyway, don't worry about, don't worry about me. The reason I'm going to be there is I'm going
Starting point is 00:18:42 to manage the stream. Yeah, which is even better. Like, you're going to be, because we're going to have headsets on, you're going to be able to, uh, you're going to be our voice from the, from the chat room too, right? So like, not only will you be commentating on what we're doing and giving us advice and saying, oh, don't go into that room.
Starting point is 00:18:59 But you'll be able to say, oh, Clark Gack wants to know why you're not using your health spell. Exactly. Yeah, we'll have all kinds of interactivity we wouldn't have otherwise. So I'm happy to do it, and it'll be way fun. So, uh, but, you know, you can always donate now. You don't have to wait until then, but you can donate now by going to tiny. tiny dot CC slash coverville ALZ
Starting point is 00:19:22 2021 that's right it's a tiny dot cc slash coverville ALZ short for Alzheimer's 2021 by the way we're not covering this in the news but they've got a new medicine that they're testing
Starting point is 00:19:39 right now that clears the plaque that grows in the brain that seems to cause Alzheimer's oh that's cool so they're making big strides like we are we will probably because of people like our great donors, we will probably see a
Starting point is 00:19:53 cure for Alzheimer's in our lifetimes. Well, that is, that's great to hear that. You never hear about big, big jumps. Sounds like an actual legit one. That's good. I know, it's cool to see that. So please, we can only do it if you donate. So please go donate now. Apparently, this game is going to eventually have a non-VR mode.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah, that's what they're saying. They're actually working on it right now, a two-dimensional, like, you know, play it on your PC still as a, uh, um, in the same group kind of thing. Oh, that's awesome. Okay. That's cool. We, we did a, uh, so Schleiker Dunaway and I did a test game. We can pull them in while we're talking about this. Yeah, me as well. But we did a, uh, test game, uh, yesterday afternoon, did the first level of a regular, uh, game. Holy cow is this thing a freaking blast. Oh, good. Good. Yeah. I'm happy to hear it because, you know. And Steven's all over. like he's already like unlocked new skins for his dice and new skins for his character and he's a tabletop lord this this sounds like his jam that's awesome yeah done away did you enjoy your time so far oh hi scott and brian i enjoyed it immensely even though i did like i was going to puke by the end but hey
Starting point is 00:21:07 awesome i can't wait from saturday then that'll be good right i usually don't get sick from those kind of things uh but it's it's a lot more looking down than I thought we do a lot because you're looking at a virtual board and I end up looking down a lot. I found out I could actually tilt the table and look at it
Starting point is 00:21:30 directly in front of me which helps some. Yeah. That's interesting. Looking down all the time is for whatever reason the quest when it was working is the first VR experience I ever had where I didn't get any kind of motion stuff. That thing causes me no problems at all. So it's
Starting point is 00:21:47 interesting to find a trick there like looking down can cause issues or whatever right i like i said i rarely have had any issues with uh you know feeling dizzy or nauseous but i think after about an hour of looking down i was like oh what is oh yeah the the flip the table up thing definitely makes a huge difference yeah well cool uh i'm looking forward to it let's play a game Speaking of games, we're going to play this game. It's called Babel Royale, and today's one of those where we have Brian Dunaway here, as you heard his voice. And we're going to mess around with some folks that physically are not here, Brian, right? That's right.
Starting point is 00:22:26 They are physically not here. They are corporeal. They are in the ether. They are ghosts. They're like Sam Wheat. That's what they are. Welcome to the morning squirm, a back-and-forth trivia game where our players will match wits on topics that Cliff Clavin would have offered it up at the cheers bar. Scott and Brian will take turns answering multiple choice trivia questions that will make you squirm.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And if they get it wrong, well, the other player gets a point. The first player to five wins the prize for their contestant. And contestants, like we said, are pulled from members of the tadpool that aren't able to listen live. Scott is going to be playing for Ed in New Brunswick. And Brian is going to be playing for fact-checker Fred. So it's Ed versus Fred. Fact-checker Fred from Mars. Ed versus Fred.
Starting point is 00:23:15 He's going to be on it. No, I like this. Ed v. Fred. This is amazing. Ed v. Fred. Yeah. Drop dead Fred E. Fred. Drop dead.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I'm too sexy for my shirt. I can't remember the name of the band. Yeah. It's dropped dead Fred. Oh, that's it. Drop dead Fred. Right, right, said, Fred was the movie. The movie with what's his face from the young ones?
Starting point is 00:23:36 Yes. Oh, right. Okay. We need to sack that, so that is on our list. We totally need to, because it's Phoebe Kates and, God, the only name, I know it's not Nick Hucknall was lead singer of Simply Red. It's something like that. Mick Hucknall. What's that? Rick Mayall, thank you. Oh, okay. Not Nick Hucknall, but Rick Mayall. I'll have to believe you.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Oh, it's on HBO Max. That can't be right. Is it? Is it? Is it? Get out of here. Come on now. We should watch it. We should watch it. Get on that list. Get it on that list. All right. Well, sweet. What's, oh, what are they playing for, by the way?
Starting point is 00:24:10 What are they going to win? Oh, yeah. If they win, the winner gets two games from the Steam Library, Euro Truck Simulator 2, and This War of Mine, Final Cut. But our runner-up still gets something for, quote-unquote, participating. They're going to get the Titan Quest anniversary. Okay, I got to say, straight across the board, excellent three games today. These are all, oh, good. Yeah, top shelf stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Euro Truck Simulator, as much as people may laugh at it, enormously popular and really, really huge. That second game is huge. No one is. Cool. This War of Mine, amazing game. If you never played it, totally good. Great game. And then Titan Quest, one of the greatest action RPGs ever made.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I'm super, super jazz. This is good. Well, big thanks to Z-A-K-I for sending in these codes. All right. You know, let's do a coin flip. I will let Brian Dunaway call in the air. I've got the Love the show, though, TMS Vegas challenge coin right here. This side, of course, has heads, so it's going to be heads.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Got two heads. This side is tails. Brian Dunaway, you can call it in the air. Heads? Tails. No, tails it is. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Sweet.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Scott gets the first question. All right. It's, we're focusing on things that make Scott Johnson puke today. All our questions. Not a lot does. I haven't barred since 05, but all right, go ahead. What gross got out the most, I guess, is what our topic is today. If you've got to go number two in a public bathroom, this stall is typically the cleanest.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Your choices are, the one closest to the bathroom entrance, the one in the middle, or the one furthest from the door, since few people make it that far, or D, they're all equally disgusting, so just pick one again. go for it. Oh, depends on where you're at, but I'm guessing statistically, uh, I mean, I have a lot of luck with the middle one. So I'll say the middle one, because I feel like a lot of kids rush to the first one. A lot of people who are really laying down track are going to the far one. And it doesn't matter whether it's a handicap one or not.
Starting point is 00:26:26 They're just like in there. And then the middle one is the one that gets skipped over because they think, oh, do I see a pair of shoes? I'm not sure I do. I'll use one these other ones. I think number two, I think it's the second one. It's number two. for number two.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Number two for number two. No, believe it or not, most people think like you, Scott, so they avoid the, or they go to the middle one and make it more disgusting. Damn it. People avoid,
Starting point is 00:26:46 the closest one to the door is typically, statistically, the clearest. Damn it! Ah, should. So, a point for Brian Dunaway. Yeah, well done. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Or bad down on me. No one did anything good. I did bad. All right, go ahead. We'll go over to Brian Dunaway for question number two. Or I guess we could stay with skin. No, we'll alternate.
Starting point is 00:27:08 This is more fun. According to a university's microbiology study, 20% of office coffee cups are infected with... You work in an office, don't you? Do you guys all share coffee cups at your office? Absolutely. Are you through it that? Thanks, man.
Starting point is 00:27:25 No, we don't. We have our own coffee cups. Don't be just crazy, man. Okay, all right. All right, 20% of office coffee cups are infected with. A, saliva from multiple users. B, foot and mouth disease. C, fecal matter, or D, oral herpes.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Okay, I think it's going to be fecal matter because it seems like every time I see a research, there's always fecal matter on everything. It's like you can't even get away from fecal matter. No matter what you do, I'm covering in it right now. As a matter of fact. Because the plays are taking there, they're taking their coffee, cups into the bathroom with them and uh right they're they're touching their butts and then they're
Starting point is 00:28:10 touching the mugs just rubbing all over them you know how people do poo town USA absolutely correct fecal matter is the correct answer time please go wash your mugs it just seemed too obvious the only one on there that it could be or the one that seems obvious like oh oral herpes because it's your mouth you touch right right right people with cold sores just you know but the one with like multiple people's saliva is not an infection it's just a thing. It's just a thing. It's just gross.
Starting point is 00:28:36 It's not easy to get off. Yeah. Great. All right. All right. Uh, okay. Well, we talked about Disneyland recently. Which ride at Disney, oh, this, uh, we're going to go back to Scott for this one.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Yeah. Which ride at Disneyland is the most popular place for guests to dump the ashes of loved ones. So somebody dies. Their wishes to be, uh, have their ashes dumped in, uh, in, in Disneyland. Which ride Is it going to happen The most? Is it?
Starting point is 00:29:09 Haunt inside Haunted Mansion. B. In the water of It's a Small World. C. In the dark during Space Mountain. Or D. Over the side of Big Thunder Mountain Railway. A railroad.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Oh. This one's hard. It is hard. And there's none for in the face of your enemy. There's none for the Star Wars, right, there's none for in the, in the dull whip in Adventureland.
Starting point is 00:29:41 I mean, I would love it if it was that Space Mountain one. The enchanted tiki room. Because Space Mountain sounds funny, like, just whipping that stuff from there. Oh my God, I know, right? Yeah, just the cloud of ash. You'd get too busted. They'd get you for that.
Starting point is 00:29:55 So, I'm going to say it's probably the water in the water and it's a small world. Yeah, because you can kind of be sneaky in there It gets dark in places. It feels like you could just reach over the thing and go, be done. So I'm going to say that.
Starting point is 00:30:10 It is haunted mansion. What? Yeah, pick advantage of the dark. I mean, really, I guess if I had my choice of all of these rides, I'd probably want to be dumped into a haunted mansion as well. Yeah, if you believe you have a soul, it's like perfect. Now I can haunt the haunted mansion. Oh, my God, right.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Wait till that part where it goes around through the graveyard and the grim, grinning ghosts and you just dump it there and it's like it's a graveyard now i'm part of the and i'm part of it yeah now now brian's question you know i when i die and they cremate me i want you to spread me in the uh into the faces of my enemies oh okay that's not as bad as that's worse than mine where i just want to be in brownies for old people that's what i oh gross why do you hate old people scott i don't i just want them to eat me that's all i don't hate them just eat me yeah eat me i don't hate you just eat me.
Starting point is 00:31:03 You know, I guess the best way to do it, too, would be like Andy DeFrain, where you've got the ashes in your pant legs, and... Just dump it out. You just shake your leg out. Andy Dufran. Just stick your leg out the side of the little pill people mover thing. Yeah. I knew it wasn't that, uh, that train ride thing, because no one rides that, so I knew that
Starting point is 00:31:24 would be a mess. It would be a mess. Either of the roller coasters would be just like this cloud of ash. It would be really obvious. All right. Damn it. Back over to Brian for this one. You know your favorite restaurant looks clean, but germs live on every surface.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Which restaurant item has more germs and bacteria than the toilet in the men's room? Oh, wow. Is it? A, the bread basket. B, the checkholder. C, the menu. Or D, the little bowl of complimentary mints that you find as you walk out the door. That is a good one.
Starting point is 00:32:02 this is a good one okay right so those are good so okay this is my theory not not the checkbook because generally you pee after you pay the check but really do you pee before during the i'll pee during if i need to i'll be during the meal yeah you know i mean you know sometimes you'll go to the bathroom right you don't just like no just pee where you sit just sit there and you just pee taking okay yeah i try to arc it over into the bread basket, see. Okay, I'm realizing now that I can't depend on what I do to be the norm. So I'm going to go, don't put your hand in those mints, man.
Starting point is 00:32:45 I think that's a bad idea. Do you think it's the mints? I think kids are grabbing that and they don't wash their hands, and I think it's full of everything. Good guess. Believe it or not, no, it is the menu. A lot of people in the chat room, we're guessing menu. Yeah, the menu just doesn't often get cleaned. So, you know, I'm okay with this new QR code menu business.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Boy, COVID sure resurrected the QR code, doesn't it? Didn't it from like? Oh, yeah. Well, everywhere except for the, this place, they had regular old menus. Oh, really? Regular old menus. Yeah, and I had that thought while I was getting them. I'm like, these are probably really gross as I'm holding them.
Starting point is 00:33:25 You ever do stupid crap when you're out? All the time. Like the menus. I'm really bad about. talking to somebody and a lot of these menus are huge right yeah and so you're like looking over top of the other person having a discussion and you just slowly kind of put the menu against your your face your cheek then you're like what am i doing yeah yeah you're too comfortable yeah i'm all for QR codes and all that business way better yeah got no problem with that
Starting point is 00:33:56 yeah all right scott you get the last question here brian has already gotten uh he's gotten three points so really it's uh um you're you're just doing this for for bragging rights or save your safe face a little bit great face all right back to germs you may think your kitchen is clean scott but this place has more germs than your toilet is it a the faucet be the ice cube maker c the dishwasher or d the counters okay i remember hearing something's about this, but now I'm torn on that ice maker I know it gets gross and the dishwasher
Starting point is 00:34:37 which seems so, the reason I remember this is it seems so counterintuitive because it's washing things. You think, oh, that's a very clean place. Right. But it gets all of this like stuff on the outer rim of it from the wash and then it sits there for days and there's no wonder your dog wants to lick it.
Starting point is 00:34:53 So I'm going to say the dishwasher. Nice. You had it and you ran away from it. Damn it. It is the Ice Cube maker. Nobody ever thinks to clean the ice cube maker. No. And sometimes that water just sits there. Ours broke.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Plus, it's kind of smelled like fish for a while. Well, there you go. Yeah. So I was okay with it breaking. I was like, okay, I'm done eating, drinking fish water. That wasn't great. Tina for our anniversary, by the way, got me an ice cube tray that makes Death Star ice cubes.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Oh, that's cool. Big Death Star ice cubes. So it's perfect for whiskey. like, you know, basically a slow melting in your whiskey kind of kind of ice cubes. You're not, you're not like pouring like orange juice in it or Kool-Aid
Starting point is 00:35:42 and then covering it up with saran wrap and putting toothpicks in it. Oh, those are old days, man. I remember doing that all the time in the summer by mom. Time for timer. Yeah, that was great. So hold on a second. Oh, my sister's makes round ice cubes,
Starting point is 00:35:58 but that's way cooler to get him in the shape of a Death Star. I like your idea. Does her ice maker make round ice cubes? Or she just has an ice cube tray that makes round ice cubes? No, she's got this fancy freaking fridge that does everything it does is cool. But one of the things it does is push out these perfectly round little ice cubes. Oh, wow. Okay, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Guy in there like patting them out like snowballs. It's really nice. Show me the refrigerator that makes Sonic ice and then we'll be talking. Now we're in. Yeah. Now we're talking. All right. So congratulations.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Congratulations going to fact checker Fred from Mars. He's going to get Euro Truck Simulator and this War of Mine final cut. But, you know, at a New Brunswick not going home empty-handed. He is going to get a copy of Titan Quest anniversary. Oh, very nice. Well done. I love it when we can give some people who can't be here. What does Hallmark say you get for the Titan Quest anniversary?
Starting point is 00:36:49 Is it, uh, is it? It's, uh, you get a bit, you get a worthless, uh, bow. You have to go sell the bow when you find a vendor. That's it. There we go. By the way, this fridge is called the LG InstaVue door-in-door with craft ice. It's the craft ice part. And this is their marketing player, or the words, be a baller with next level entertaining.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Oh, God. Are you kidding me? No. Ice baller. Yep. Yep. That's the worst marketing never. How do I get one?
Starting point is 00:37:17 It lets you do round, cubed, and crushed. So you get three options there. Nice. And they also have. Okay. So I thought I had it all figured out. I'm like trying to. figure out the magic of how he did round and I thought well I got that now they're doing
Starting point is 00:37:33 cube to it I'm like how do you have cubed and round in the same machine yeah it's some kind of weird well it's expensive fridge is the thing I'm sure they just got two little trays I'm sure it's not as complicated as we're making it and it's all super like uh well not just not just I keep saying expensive it is expensive but it's it's super um anything more than a thousand dollars to keep your food cold that's expensive it's like uber smart like it's gonna tie to your phone you're going to have it all you know echo enabled and all that BS there's a window and tell you like how are you are running low on milk yeah I don't know if I I feel like we're getting too oh look at that ball getting made that's cool sorry I'm watching video is that the
Starting point is 00:38:14 video yeah those look like you'd like those Brian in your liquor drinks that's what I probably would yeah I wonder if those are like like minority report ice balls look at the size of that screen on the oh no that's just a that's a clear window yeah it's a window it's a window but it's got like a lighting thing going on, I guess. I don't know. I've got to go to my sisters and check it out. Oh, that's cool. I don't like she...
Starting point is 00:38:35 It is so cool, but it's so overthinking the fridge. Yeah, it really is. Oh, it's so overthinking. That's the thing, because what else you're going to do now? People are, people need a reason to change their fridges unless they're crap and they just break all the time. I don't know. We live in a weird time.
Starting point is 00:38:49 What if your fridge could order through Alexa because it sees that the milk is almost empty? Dude, they have that. That's a thing. I'm sure they do. Check this out. My grandma bought a iron back in, you know, for ironing clothes back in like 56. That iron still freaking works. Yeah. They don't do that anymore. Nobody makes a product where they're like, we hope this lasts 100 years. They don't do that. They make it. We have a blender that's like that. And this thing is just amazing. Yeah. They want to make it and break it now so that you have to go spend and buy again. And the way normally like phone
Starting point is 00:39:24 manufacturers have a little smarter idea because they're like, all right, yes, it's still a little bit of planned obsolescence, but it's not breaking. It's, we're going to give you a ton of features that you can't get on the two generations behind. But with fridges and like, what I'm saying is it's happening to everything.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Batten down the hatches. All the time. Yeah. All right. There you have it. Brian Donneway. As always, a pleasure to work with you to give people cool stuff and congratulations to our winners. Oh, wait. Here. Winner, winner. Chicken dinner. Well done. And sorry, Ed.
Starting point is 00:39:58 I tried real hard, but she's still got an incredible game, so no complaint there. May New Brunswick be all the better for it. Done away tomorrow, you and I are going to do an episode of The Boob Show, which is going to be great because we missed last week, and I'm very excited to get back to it. What's your game? Give us a preview. What did you get? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:40:17 So I've been playing insurmountable. It is a survival game where there's randomly generated hex stones in a mountain range. that you have to navigate to make it to the summits along the way, run into events that tried to stop you. No. Oh, geez. Not events. Not events.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Oh, man. It's called insurmountable in its own steam now. That sounds cool. It's a lot of fun. Now, we're also going to have a lot to talk about because this past weekend, there was the indie expo in Japan, and then Gorilla Collective, 2021, which is more indie game news, So there's tons of indie game news for tomorrow. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Yeah. It's a big week for indie gamers, even if you didn't know it. And we've got E3 right around the corner with all that that entails. So there's lots coming up. So keep your eyes on the prize. I was going to tell you the name of the game I'm going to review, but I can't find the damn name. So I guess I won't be telling you. It's game number one in your notes.
Starting point is 00:41:22 It's called, do I have it here? I might have it here. Hold on. Oh, shoot. Well, I'll talk about it on Boop. That'll be tomorrow. 3.30 mountain time. Check it out.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Boopshow.com. Or no. Where is it? We're frogpans.com slash boop. And you can also watch it live at frogpans. TV at the time I just mentioned. And if you have some indie gaming news or retro news, you want to share with us, head over to the Reddit boop show.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Reddit.com forward slash subreddit boop show. Figure it out. You're not Reddit. Boopshow. com. That's how you can go there. There you go. Brian, take it easy.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I'm covered in fecal matter. Pound sand and get stuffed. All right. Ew. By the way, there is a 10 a.m. I'm sorry, 11 a.m. our time today is the WWDC keynote. Oh, is that today? I wonder what the big push will be.
Starting point is 00:42:14 It'll be iOS 15, iPad OS 15. They'll be talking. Probably not new hardware as much as just. Oh, yeah. They're done with hardware talk for now, I think. I mean, they may have, they may have some, you know, M1, you know, info about whatever. Oh, right, right, right, yep. Yeah, but I doubt they're going to, like, we're not going to get hardware announcements for pros or anything.
Starting point is 00:42:38 No. Not quite yet. Or whatever. So I don't know if it's worth us live stream you up, but. Probably not. But I do want, I can tell you, I want, what do I want? I want something. Oh, I want them to hurry up with my, see.
Starting point is 00:42:50 So I made a, you know, you make business purchases. I, I rely greatly on. on art tablets and the last couple years, the iPad Pro has been kind of the go-to for me. And my iPad Pro M1 was ordered the same day as Brian's, and he already got his, and mine's not here until July 1st. So I can't figure out what happened. I don't know why it's so late.
Starting point is 00:43:12 I don't know. It's unfair. It totally is unfair that I'm sitting here with this gorgeous. Oh, look at that thing. iPad. Look at it oozing power through the air at me. Yes. space gray
Starting point is 00:43:26 I hope today they announced that they're lifting that five gigabyte limit on RAM usage or whatever it is. They got some weird like legacy RAM lock that they used for older devices and once they lift that
Starting point is 00:43:43 in this new chip environment it will give you like I mean unlimited layers and procreate like it just got to open the floodgates man get in there. I haven't even played with Procreate on this thing yet. I need to play with it because I dig. I dig procreate. Procrate's the best.
Starting point is 00:44:01 It is the tool to dujure right now. Yeah. Yeah. Although I would say what's the other one? The one that used to be called anime studio and they changed it. Now everyone uses it for comics and stuff. Can't they get the name?
Starting point is 00:44:16 Anyway, that one's also very good except it's a subscription thing. So there's that. Also, the Affinity Photo version on the iPad is very good. What I'm saying is save your money on Adobe. There's better stuff right now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Let's do one news story. How's that sound? Okay. That sounds great. Okay. I'm going to do this. I don't watch the news. It's the news and it's brought to you by.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Brought to you by Heartcrate. Check them out at heartcrate.org and stay tuned later on the show. We're going to tell you about an event coming up here. If you're in Denver or the Denver area, a heart crate event this weekend. that you can attend. Very, very nice. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:59 The man who shot Reagan. You remember that, dude? He shot Liberty, Val. Yeah, nobody knows that song. Yeah, I remember the guy who shot Reagan, and he also hit, he hit somebody in the head. Who was it? I was home from school sick that day. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:18 He hit someone in the head? I didn't know about that part. Yeah, like another person who was with Reagan. Got him. That was the guy that went on to do tons of gun legislation lobbying and stuff. Brady. Brady. The Brady Bill. All that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. This was the guy also that was the reason that the greatest American hero had to change his name in the third season from Kinkley to Mr. Henley. That's right, because he was John Hinkley in that.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Yes. Oh, that's hilarious. I forgot about that. Yes. Well, John Warnock Hinkley, Jr., his full name. Warnock. He has spent 35 years in a psychiatric hospital after shooting President Reagan in 81. CNN's Jean-Cartieres had the latest on Hinkley's new YouTube channel. So apparently, you can run a YouTube channel from the psychiatric hospital that he is in.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Really? And he makes music. Yeah. I'm trying to find, here, let's see, YouTube, John. What is up, YouTube? Boy, John Hinkley. John Hinkley. Let's see if I can find it.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Still, still pining for Jody Foster. Oh, here it is. Okay. So I'm going to play some of this. Yeah. He looks a little, not like he used to. Whatever. We all age. Well, yeah, we all age. But here he is. This is in that hospital.
Starting point is 00:46:43 It seems like he has decent digs. He's got a big red blanket thing in the background. But anyway, here he is John Hinkley singing. Hello, everybody. This is a song that's made popular by the Everly Brothers. Hey, guess what? It's John Hinkley's singing songs with the guitar, everybody. That's his thing. Don't look for that one on Coverville anytime soon. No. I'm trying to find. Oh, Tambourine Man. We know that song. Let's see. Let's see how this one goes. Hello, everybody. I'd like to say that I'm going to. I mean, there is no place I'm going to.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Hey, Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me. I mean, you know, I look, I shot. Well, I give it two thumbs down. I shot the president. And, uh, now. I play guitar on YouTube. I shot the president, but I didn't. You know what I want to call out real quick? Does he take requests? Can we get, can we do requests?
Starting point is 00:48:01 He might, he might be interested in that. I did want to, I wanted to call out something Brian did earlier because I think it's amazing. But he knows that we have probably a couple of 75 to 80 year old listeners, probably. And so when he's saying that Liberty Valance song, you know, I guess, that was nice. You just gave a little bone to the older set to say, look, we know, we see you. We know you're here. I'm glad you recognized that.
Starting point is 00:48:20 too yeah i mean i only know it because i had to watch it for something what was it oh with tom current geek thing oh for autopilot or something yeah something like that i don't remember what it was for but uh but yeah i barely i'm barely aware of it's such a catchy song what lennonade i need to promote fewer mentally ill folk why we're not promoting anyone was just talking about that's a newsworthy thing that john we are we're promoting john inkley junior with you know but okay lennonade Name another one.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Yeah, give us another one, Lennonade. Give us one more mentally ill. Oh, I guess we did talk about Trump's blog. All right, that's two. That's already gone. Did you hear his reasons why it's gone? His reason is that no one read it. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:06 I know. I thought it was supposed to change the world. It was supposed to be the next hot thing in social media. It turned out to be a blog. He only ran for a month. I lasted only slightly longer on the substack than the former president of the United States of America did for his blog. Yeah, that went real good.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Also, this thing about him wearing his pants backwards the other day, he did not wear his pants backwards. He's wearing this sounds like I'm defending it. I'm not. He has a huge diaper up front and he's wearing pants that are made to hold that diaper. So, go make fun to that
Starting point is 00:49:40 side, although there are people with incontinence I don't want to make fun of in this world, but he didn't, he wasn't wearing his pants backwards. Like, I'm all for making fun of Trump. trust you. Sure, sure. But make sure we're, you know, don't make shit up. That's what they do. That's what he does. Like, make it be real. Like, you know, Talley says don't kink shame. It could be a kink. I don't know. He's wearing the diaper for other reasons. I don't know. I don't know. I know some people are into that diaper thing. Who knows? Maybe he's just trying to stuff so much stuff in the front of his pants that, you know, to impress Melania. Belania. Well, it takes a lot to impress her these days. All right, we're going to take a break When we come back
Starting point is 00:50:22 We'll spend some time with Bill He made something super rad And I can't wait to talk about it And then major spoilers A little Stephen time Looking forward to that as well Before all that though Brian pleases song
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah Oh this is great Especially if you are a 90s Britpop fan like me Love 90s Britpop We're going to Sweden For this one Big Thanks to Earshot Media
Starting point is 00:50:44 For sending along It's an indie rock band called Amma Amunuit. Amonut. No, I'm sorry. Amonet. A-M-A-U-N-E-T. Hey, you're looking for this song? Don't worry. I'm on it. They're releasing their brand new mini-album called While I'm Living.
Starting point is 00:51:00 You're going to have to wait a while. It's not coming out until October 22nd of this year on lovely records. However, they're releasing some of the songs early. Six cuts on the album inspired by alternative rock bands from the aughts like the Strokes and Kings of Leon, but also. 90s, Britpop bands like Oasis, blur, things like that. These aren't covers.
Starting point is 00:51:22 These are just kind of inspired by them. The brand new single is called When You Come By, Here is Amon. it depends i don't want to be friends you say you need a little bit time just to think and to make up your mind it makes sense that i feel a bit tense yeah you know i'm a little bit shy what it takes to get myself high When you come by, I never cry. Could not dance or find a good stance. Now I feel just a little sick eye. Do my best to keep myself dry.
Starting point is 00:52:38 And suspense, no self-defense. Can't tell if it's a color of guy. Either way, I'm going to comply When you come by, I never try, I always try When you're around, a perfect sound I never down Now let's pretend that I make sense. Yeah, you know, it's just a big lie.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Do my best to keep my head high. Late with red, coming in sitting, I think we had a good ride. And please forget that I lied. When you come back, I never try I always try When you're around
Starting point is 00:53:58 A perfect sound I leave the ground I think I know What you know Won't keep you waiting That's what I'm saying That's what I'm That's what I'm
Starting point is 00:54:25 That's what I'm That's what I am When you come by I never cry I always try When you're around perfect sound I leave the
Starting point is 00:54:50 ground I'm in outer space. You can at least tell me your name, you cold bitch. The morning stream. Better than a straw tart blue blueberry pop tarts. Pop torch. Can take me a couple to get that one.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Hang on. Better than a straw tart. This is recording, right? Let me check. Better than a straw tart. Better than a... Better than a straw tart blueberry pop torch. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:39 We're back, everybody. Welcome back. Again, that is Amonet. Amman. E-T, Swedish band, and the song is called When You Come By. Very nice. Yeah. Although I didn't hear it yet, but I will later, because I listen to my Brian songs when he sends them over.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Cool. For you at home, you did hear it, and I hope you enjoyed it. Yeah, yeah. All right. Yeah. Boy, I'm clicking all the wrong buttons. Here we go. Build a ran, everyone.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Punished props. Oh, yeah, baby. Clicking for love in all wrong places. We're playing all the old hits today. We really are, yeah. Yeah, we're making sure that no matter what old age you are, there's a song in here for you for everyone. That's right. Enjoy this intro for Bill.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Your bat caves open there, Bill. Bill Duran joins us from the Pacific Northwest and the home, the headquarters, if you will, of punish props.com. Bill, welcome back to the show. Good morning. It is lovely and overcast here today. I'm a fan of it. It was in the 80s last week and too warm. Too warm for us soft Seattle people.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Yeah, you all aren't used to that. kind of weather. We were, what, Brian and I were like 90 something last year. Yeah, we're crazy and it's supposed to get hot again today. Yep. And we're having a drought. Our governor famously a couple of days ago, asked for
Starting point is 00:56:59 the entire state to pray for rain. And the ensuing ridicule from the rest of the country was expected, at least in my mind. I'm pretty sure I expected to hear that. And I'd just like to remind him that, A, if you are religious, God helps those who helps themselves, number one. And number two, that might mean, I don't know, conservation strategies, maybe take a look at our reservoirs and decide maybe where you're going to move stuff around
Starting point is 00:57:24 and then talk to some scientists and also maybe talk to the public about conserving water. Maybe they can water every other day. I guess I'm not the governor, but these are practical solutions. No, pray for rain. No, everybody, pray for rain. Because if I was God, I'd be up there going, okay, freaking... Send your hopes and prayers to rain. courtesy of mother at nature.com. Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Deeds in action, deeds and action. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Bill, welcome to the show. It's good to have you here. We're going to talk about people are really super obsessed with a game that came out a little while ago. That was an indie sensation, huge hit. They've made millions and millions of dollars already. The game is called Valheim, and you made a prop. I can't wait to hear about this. So tell us about it.
Starting point is 00:58:08 I did. Yeah. So you guys know most of the stuff we make is, inspired by whatever video games we're playing. And we continue to play a lot of Valheim. In fact, we've already beat everything that's available once. They're still adding stuff. But Brittany and I already played through everything they had.
Starting point is 00:58:25 And then we convinced April to start playing so that we could jump in her game and play it again. Of course. So we're playing through it a second time with April. And the last time we jumped in the game, Brittany said, we should just start this game over again. so we're pretty stuck on this game it's great we're having a ton of fun yeah it's a it's pretty rad now the shot i got i'm putting a picture of you holding this thing up um it's you know some
Starting point is 00:58:52 kind of mace thing which you can explain to us but what i was going to say before we even get started valheim famous for doing something that i really respect about it and that is the you know gameplay aside and you know whether you're into survival type genre stuff or not all of that aside they went with one of the strangest sort of stylistic choices of a really low-res sort of almost PlayStation 1 kind of quality to the character modeling and some of the world stuff. But with lighting effects and shaders and things that I would consider to be modern, very modern, and the resulting combination is one of the coolest looking games on the market. It is such a rad combo. would have never thought this because I think that that era that that PS1 era of really jittery ugly low poly textures and you know that sort of thing was a stepping stone of the past we were
Starting point is 00:59:52 never going to have to revisit it it was an awkward time where we had to you know it's puberty for 3d games basically is what that was but somehow they figured out a way to go we can make that look cool again and they do it in stride like it's so rad yeah and and you're and this prop immediately jumped out of me as you capturing that somehow. And so I have to ask, did you mean to do that? It's tricky because, so if you're making a prop, right? You have to decide, let's say I'm making a Minecraft prop.
Starting point is 01:00:23 The texture is extremely low-res. And if I was painting it like with a paintbrush, I'd have to paint little pixels, right? Little squares. And people do that. And I made a Minecraft pickax a mile back. And that's exactly what I did. I painted little squares.
Starting point is 01:00:39 to replicate the texture. Now, Valheim's a little higher-res texture than, like, Minecraft. But again, I had to make that decision. Do I make it one for one, make it exactly like it looks in the video game, or do I make it look like a real mace? Which, honestly, is actually a little easier.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Sure. I don't have to paint tiny little squares, little pixels on everything. Right. So it's a balancing act. And in this case, I thought that making it look more, quote, real would feel better, and I really like how it turned out. It turned out, awesome.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Is there any lighting in that thing, or is it just a color or whatever I'm trying to say? Like, there's no LEDs inside of those sparks. In the game, it does look like it glows a little bit. However, the paint that we use, the color we use on the spikes, I did mix in some glow powder. Oh, that's cool. And we, of course, we have a video. Actually, I didn't even check the video was live yet. We have a video going up today.
Starting point is 01:01:37 It's not on the website, but it might be on the channel. I didn't check the channel. So it's entirely, it might be up there. But at the end of the video, we do show the glowing effect. It's not terribly impressive, but we did give it a shot. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. It looks really cool.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Like, I would, did you finish it and go, hey, there's a lot of stuff in Valheim? We could keep going. Like, are you going to make more? I guess is what I'm asking? Um, I don't know. There are a few things that I do really, um, I do really enjoy from the game that I want to, to make. But I'm, I'm not sure. This was like, this one was the obvious one. I got it. It's big and ridiculous. And I was like this. I need to make this. Um, the, uh, so this, let me tell you a little bit about the pork pine. All right. Hello there. It's one of the harder. Whoops. That's you talking. All right. Go ahead. Your video is up, by the way. Confirmed. It is not up. It is up. I just found it. It looks like it barely went up. So. I'm going to have it on to the background. Sorry, go ahead. Fabulous.
Starting point is 01:02:39 So it's this giant ace. It's one of the harder things to make. You have to kill a lot of death skidos, which are some of the more annoying enemies in the game. Anyone who's played and who has ventured too near to the planes and got killed by a death skito, you know, you know what they're about. Sure. We made ours using, I found it all a metal tube.
Starting point is 01:03:00 I don't know what it was from, but a really thin, walled metal tube for the handle. And I covered all that in foam. to be able to add details to it and carve in like the wood texture and everything. Yeah. And then what's cool is that head of the mace, not the spikes, but just the head that the spikes are attached to, that's the same exact pattern that we made for our Game of Thrones egg that we also used for the mini nuke from Fallout 4.
Starting point is 01:03:26 So that's the third time we've used that pattern and I'm pretty stoked about it. It was pretty much like the right size and shape and everything. Oh, that's great. They're getting reuse out of your previous patterns is always a sign of I don't know. Efficiency, I guess. Sure. We've made, like, basic patterns in the past. Like, I have a basic shield, like a domed round shield pattern that's useful for many, many things.
Starting point is 01:03:47 And this egg one turns out is, like, the most useful. I've used it on three projects already. Nice. Very cool. The spikes, there were 36 of them. We made them all out of foam. So they're not rigid and they're not dangerous. But we coated them in a urethane rubber.
Starting point is 01:04:04 And what's cool is this rubber is a little. liquid you mix it together and then you can put pigments in there. So the green and sort of white on the spikes are actually a pigment that's mixed in with the rubber and then brushed on and then you let it cure. We put I think three layers on there and the spikes
Starting point is 01:04:20 are now flexible but really really durable. It's like they're rubbery and you can bonk someone on the head. It's not going to kill them. So it's like a rubber outside with an inside with a foam core basically. Exactly a flexible foam core so they can
Starting point is 01:04:36 bend in everything so that it is difficult to put it down but it's not going to hurt anyone which is great right it also makes an awesome sound when you swing it through the air like all those spikes do you have it there can you do the thing
Starting point is 01:04:52 I don't know it's downstairs I don't have it right here here I'll simulate it ready whoa feeder of the mind I'm gonna go edit out the part where we talked about it and just pretend you did it oh wait I have to edit that part out I have to edit that part out I have to edit that out. Oh no, I have to edit the whole thing. All right, sorry. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:05:08 So, uh, so I had to build a stand just to hold the maze upright while I was working on it. Uh, and then the painting was really simple. Um, there's just a wood texture, wood looking part and a metal looking part. And, uh, I just painted those all by hand. Wow. It turned out great. It looks really, really cool. Um, let me ask you, uh, this, in the game, the weapon, well, all the weapons in the game famously mount in your your home your castle or whatever you're going to build any chance you're going to do that here
Starting point is 01:05:45 that's an awesome idea but like the I think polygonally something that's going on polygonally in the game is those there's some clipping going on behind the mace so it's going through the wall which wouldn't work right exactly that's exactly what I was thinking so in the game the head
Starting point is 01:06:04 of the mace is right up against the wall and the spikes just clipped through it. If I hung that up in my wall, some of the spikes would be like 18 inches away from the wall. It just takes them so much room. It's really awkward. But I do need to find a place for it now, though. I might have to like stick it on the roof of my house like a weather ring. I think that might be the best place for it. Yeah. No one will, no one will wonder what's wrong with the Duran's. Right. Fine over there. Uh, well, cool. It's a really, looks like a really fun build. And, you know, this is a game, this is weird. I have a weird relationship with this game because I have like this gigantic amount of respect for it but I actually
Starting point is 01:06:39 don't enjoy playing it. And it's not about this game. It's the genre that this game is in just never holds me. I just can't do the whole chop the trees, then do the thing and then make the stuff and then you're just not my jam. But I love like all the stuff around it and it's nice to see, you know, I mean obviously you've got a fandom going here and you've built a thing around it. But you're not alone. There's a lot of a lot of Valentine's love out there right now. So, you know. Yeah. I will say there are a lot of things in the game that are a big time sync.
Starting point is 01:07:09 For me, that's been a very comfortable thing to do, especially during the pandemic. Why don't I just sit down in farm iron for a little while? Right. I mean, when I played World of Warcraft, that was the guild herbalist and alchemist. So I would spend like an hour every day farming dream foil. That's kind of, I'm into that. Yeah. Yeah, this is a really good point.
Starting point is 01:07:28 If you're already sort of into professions and games like that, that game's a no-brainer. I think that's why it appeals to so many Wow players is there's a lot of that in there. And there's kind of, I don't know, it feels like, hey, what if Wow was more about building stuff and a slightly less about killing things and whatever. I bet I could run through the Eastern Plague lands and I would know where all the dreams of the locations still are. I did that so much. Yeah. Yeah, they never did randomize them. So you know.
Starting point is 01:07:56 No, it's the same place every time. Well, very cool. People should go check this out. The entirety of it is up on the site now. up on the channel right now, so go to Punish Props on YouTube and find it. Bill, any, any tail end links for us this week? Yeah, got a good video. Bobby Duke dropped a fun video. He's always so much fun. He made a tiny hammer out of a rusty bolt. Look at that. Okay, that's cool. Yeah. And there was some fun thing in the process of making his
Starting point is 01:08:27 tiny hammer, he realized he needed more tools to make the tiny hammer. So we had to make more tiny tools. It's one of those videos that's really clever the way it progresses. That's crazy to me. I want that tiny hammer. Like now, is my daughter still watching? She loves tiny stuff. She was in the chat earlier.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Carter, if you're still watching, go find that. Because look at that. Oh, my gosh, dude. He's big on like the first person perspective, close-up view. Yeah. He does a lot of creative stuff with the way he makes his videos
Starting point is 01:09:03 and I enjoy it very much. Yeah, Carter Carter says she's seen it. She loves tiny stuff. That is really cool. He's a tiny Advil. I cannot believe that that was that and now it's that.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Right? That's just a mind boggler. What a, that guy's a genius and deserves every view he gets. No kidding. All right. Well, very nice as always.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Buildaround Punish Props.com and the Punish Props channel up on YouTube. Go check it out if you haven't already. We'll do more making things. with Bill next Monday. Bill, have a fantastic week. Good-Doo. See you later.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Yeah. Very nice. Dude, I want that hammer. I want that little hammer. But I don't have the... Look at that. Oh, wow. I don't have the patience. I couldn't do this. So it looks like he just made the
Starting point is 01:09:49 the head. So the body of the hammer still is wood. And he's just made the head out of that bolt, which is even more impressive that he, like, made a separate metal... Oh, my God, this thing is cool. If you go to four minutes and 40, like 30 seconds in this video, it's really cool. He made a tiny paintbrush to paint it.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Like, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen. It's really cool, yeah. All right, we'll take that, Bill. I'm not watching your channel anymore. I'm watching this guy. Yeah, a little screwdriver. That's amazing. All right, go check that out if you want to see more.
Starting point is 01:10:24 We're now going to switch gears a little bit, and Stephen will be entering the fray. At least that is my understanding. There we go. Let's bring him in. Let's have some fun. Let's play this. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker.
Starting point is 01:10:41 All the way from the sweeping plains of Hayes, Kansas, comes one Steven Schleiker, purveyor of all things, major spoilers. Hello, Stephen. Oh, that's weird. Hey, Steven, who you're coming in kind of weird. Yeah. Real weird. Low volume. Or far away.
Starting point is 01:10:59 or muffled, maybe you're low volume, not a fan. It's, uh, yeah, I don't know what it is. Weird. Nope, not any better. No, I can't even really hear him. Oh, weird. Something changed.
Starting point is 01:11:20 I love this because I feel like I'm, so can you see the moon where you're at? When will you be landing the moon? Hey, while he's figuring this ad, you see Jeff Bezos and his brother are going to go on that space trip and, uh... I did see them. Yeah, it's insane, man. Like, they're going to do their, uh, their thing finally in space. So it'll be whoever was chosen by lottery.
Starting point is 01:11:43 I don't know who that was. Bezos and his brother Robert or whatever's name is. I think it's Rob Bezos. And they're all going to load up in a spaceship and fly to space and go into orbit and be in space together. I've not heard about this. That's cool. That's pretty cool. Is that any better?
Starting point is 01:12:01 Uh, no. I mean, it sounds like you're in a car. Yeah, I am in a car. Oh, that's why things are weird. Uh, well, no, you're fine the way you are. I can hear you now. We can do this. Yeah, the words are enunciated.
Starting point is 01:12:13 So if you're in a car, this is totally fine. The words are enunciated. And clearly. Yes, you can, you sound great. Uh, what's the occasion? You got an appointment or something? What's going on? No, my son has his summer soccer program.
Starting point is 01:12:25 And so this time, it's, time to pick him up from practice. Gotcha. Totally understand. You, I don't know if we want to bring this up or not, but let's just say that me, Stephen, and Brian are all men of a certain age. Yes. Sometimes you've got to go do what your doctor says, which is they recommend a lot of preventative stuff. They say, hey, you know, you're at the time. You should get things checked out. So you went and got a colonoscopy. And no funny video, no audio, nothing. You just came right out of it like it was nothing. Sorry, man. I went in and they were playing, what is it,
Starting point is 01:12:56 animals house of the rising sun they're like oh we've got some good music today and here comes the good stuff which is like key you know coding for that prophal whatever they use to kill michael jackson right and the next thing i know i'm out of it i'm like oh you guys are playing a lot of ccr during that session and they're like yep and ten minutes later i was up and ready to get dressed and out of there yeah it does wear off quick once once you get past the initial like on twitter light moment it yeah it kicks in and you're okay i hear sorry i had no funny stuff yeah that's good Tina's getting hers Friday, and I still hear that the really the worst part of it is just the preparation for it. The drink is literally a pain in the ass.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Yeah. Yeah. It's the worst, dude. You basically... You basically give yourself the laser squirts for a whole night on purpose, and you don't eat anything, and you're starving, and it's like you're sick. You made yourself sick. It's the worst. Yeah, I need to schedule mine.
Starting point is 01:13:50 I'm of a certain age. I need to schedule mine. Get it done. Get it done. I think Tom Merritt just did his a couple of weeks ago. So, yeah. Get in there. Get the job. Get the rim job they give you. It's good. Get in there. All right. Well, the good thing is if there's no problems, you don't have to do it again for 10 years. Yeah. Right. You're right. You're right. Well, in my case, five, because I did it five years before most people did.
Starting point is 01:14:14 Yeah. Because of reasons. So now I got to go in. And it's like three years I got to go in again or something. Anyway, it doesn't matter. The important part is get your bum checked. All right. Hey, Stephen, let's get to a couple of things here. happening on major spoilers. For example, you carried the story about Spider-Woman Into the Spider-Verse. What? We're getting Spider-Woman in the sequel? Is that what's happening? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Issa Ray, who's a producer-director, actor, has been cast. Issa Ray. Has been cast to play Spider-Woman in the upcoming sequel to the Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse, the greatest Spider-Man movie of all time. It truly is.
Starting point is 01:14:50 She's the one from the show, the HBO show, yeah, the Insecure, which Tina and I binged all three seasons. We binge the whole series and loved it. She is hilarious and she's going to make it great Jessica Drew. Yeah, I'm wrong with that. Yeah, I think that's going to be really cool to see that on the, even in animated form, but I think that if it does what it did with Spider-Gwen,
Starting point is 01:15:15 it should elevate the character even higher and get a lot more people paying attention to that character. Yeah, for sure. You've got her joining the cast, which will include, Haley Steinfeld coming back is Gwen Stacey. She'll always be true grit girl for me. Let's see. Schemeck Moore as the main hero, Miles Morales. And who else?
Starting point is 01:15:35 Justin K. Thompson is directing. Do we have any of the, we haven't heard anything about Spider-Ham, John Mullaney, or any other? No, haven't heard anything about those. No, I haven't heard about them, but I'm wondering if we won't see Spider-Man 299. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:15:53 We got the teaser, yeah. Yeah, it would make sense, for sure. Oh, right. I forgot they did that at the end. The stinger. The point at each other thing and all that? That was good. Yes, that was great.
Starting point is 01:16:02 That was really good. Well, we'll see what they do. Same studio and a couple of the producers and writers were involved with that. Three directors on this thing. Are you right? Three total directors, right? Yeah. Joaquin DeSantos, K. Powers, and Justin K.
Starting point is 01:16:17 With Phil Lord and Christopher Miller credited his writers on the screenplay along with David Callum. I'm looking for. to this because you're right it is the best spider man movie it's awesome it's so good oh my gosh it may still be my favorite it's right out there with my favorite Marvel at all movie I love it oh yeah definitely definitely is
Starting point is 01:16:37 I would say it's either in the one or two spot for the greatest Marvel movie of all that's pretty dang good and then Jupiter's legacy so two things on this I didn't know it was based on a comic I thought it was just Netflix going hey we can do a we can do a pissed off hero problem Boys. Yeah, we can make the boys too.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Yeah, we can do that. We can watch them as good as anybody can, you know, like that whole thing. But it's not based on a series, I guess, of comics, which I haven't read. Mark Miller. Mark Miller made a deal with Netflix I want to say two or three years ago, where he basically sold his entire Millerverse
Starting point is 01:17:12 catalog to them to adapt whatever into Netflix properties and Jupiter's legacy was one of those. Do you know if the kick-ass stuff, which is also Miller, are those? It is, it is. It is I mean, it's not part of the Netflix. Okay, it's not part of the deal.
Starting point is 01:17:27 All right. I wondered if maybe they could do more of those or rebooted as a series or something, but it sounds like not. Wait, he is the author of the boys. Is that Garthennis? No, no, no, that's Garthennis. Oh, that's Garthenas. Okay. Getting my angry British writers mixed up.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Well, anyway, the point is it's not coming back to Netflix. No. What happened? It's interesting because, I mean, I like that a lot of people did. It didn't. It was fairly mixed. The ratings were fairly high the first week that Jupiter's Legacy came out on Netflix. But then the second week, it apparently dropped off completely. And Netflix said, well, this is a really expensive show that we did, $100 million or something for the show, maybe more. And they said, we're not going to renew it. So they told the cast that they have been released from their contracts and are free to go and seek other jobs, which is pretty much the signal that this show is not coming back. It's got that heartthrob Josh Duhamel in it. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:27 I can't believe it. One of the cool things about it is, you know, it takes place both in the present and the past. And for the present, they have to put a ton of makeup on the actors to make them look old, the male actors. But then when they do the younger sequences, the female actor, they had to put a ton of makeup on her to make her look younger. It was a really kind of weird flip on that. It's on that aging process. That is weird. It's usually the other way.
Starting point is 01:18:54 You're right. Yeah. So let me, uh, something, I feels like we're getting at a saturation point for the watchman, the boys, the invincible, like this concept of heroes, but what if they were dicks or whatever, you know, that kind of whole concept. Yeah. Yeah. It feels like, oh, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:19:12 I mean, that's really kicked off with, you know, the dark night returns in the 1980s. Yeah. And that angry hero has been around ever since. and I don't know if we've reached a saturation point for that. I don't even think we've reached a saturation point for comic book adaptation stuff, especially in the superhero genre. There's so much of it, and there's so much of it that you can dive into, that I think we're going to see this for still decades to come.
Starting point is 01:19:39 Right. You're probably right. I think it'll probably stick around, but it just feels like lately it's like a lot of these series, and they're all super edgy and rated R and all that, or I guess not rated R because there's no TV rating for rated R. But you know what I mean? they're all mature or whatever.
Starting point is 01:19:51 Yeah. But I do, the one that I've always wanted to see, and it just never seems to happen, and I don't know if it's because IDW doesn't have the same reach or the connections or whatever, but in, what's not inconceivable, what's it called? Invincible? Oh, you're talking about, no, no, you're talking about Boom Studios. Oh, it's boom. With Mark Wade's, not incorruptible, but. Well, incorruptible was the second.
Starting point is 01:20:16 Incorrigible. Irredeemable. Irredeemable. Irredeemable is of the ones I've Like comic read read the comics from That's my favorite I love Yeah that one's pretty interesting yeah
Starting point is 01:20:28 Yeah I would give Well I would watch that is what I'm saying And I don't know why that one doesn't get made So if you're gonna make freaking Jupiter ascending Go for it make that That's a complicated thing Because at the time Mark Wade was working for Boom Studios And he was their
Starting point is 01:20:42 Their head editor of Boom And that's when he was doing that series then Boom got a partial buyout by 20th Century Fox. And so technically, Disney now owns a big chunk of Boom Studios. Oh, really? So I don't know if that may be one of the reasons why they're hesitating on that. But, yeah, Boom Studios, I think, is owned by Disney, like 30% owned by Disney. They should sell them to Zoom.
Starting point is 01:21:11 Then they would be Zoom Boom. Or Boom Zoom. Well, they do have their middle age or their wife. A line is boom box. Oh, shut up, really? Yeah. Lame. That's lame.
Starting point is 01:21:23 I don't like that. Speaking of that, or speaking of like darker stuff, I've been reading the black label run of, can't remember the guy's name. I love his art. Can't remember his name. Anyway, he wrote...
Starting point is 01:21:35 No, not Capulow. It's the new, it's a... I don't even know if it's new, but it's the white knight stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah. Who is that? That's not jock, is it? No.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Alonzo Cam remember his name I am so digging that series It is awesome The art in there I swear that dude was born to To draw Batman And here's the thing
Starting point is 01:21:58 In this comic Batman's got like a flipped up collar thing That's kind of part of his cape In real life or in a live action movie That would look stupid as hell In this comic It is so badass It is such cool art
Starting point is 01:22:11 I love it I can't think of the guy's name But if anyone out there Has DC Infinite and are reading anything that's a series to check out it's very yeah that's a pretty interesting one uh that let's see i'm betting you're reading the first volume there is a second volume after that yeah i'm just getting started it's definitely worth checking out yeah just getting started i'm pretty excited to dig through it's just an interesting new villain i like when they do that in the batman universe and uh man i just
Starting point is 01:22:36 i fall off of everything except these these dc stories i think are so good in there right now there's so much good stuff i just can't get enough of it definitely if you're into more aggressive superhero stuff like you see in Jupiter's Legacy or the boys or that kind of stuff. The DC Black Label line really has a lot more mature content in it. Yeah. So you will see a little bit harsher language. You might see a little bit more sexual situations. And so you might even see Batman's Wiener if you look close enough in some of those books.
Starting point is 01:23:06 But that's what they're doing over at the DC Black Label line. There was a, I want to say, I can't remember what the book was. It had really gritty art. And that was one of the ones where you just get the little curate. of Batman's wiener. Well, no. In the original release, you've got to see the Bat Wang, and then they had to go back in and censored because the editorial were like,
Starting point is 01:23:25 oh, you can see too much. You need to cover that up. Oh, really? They shaded it and only gave it a little bit of a glimpse. Oh, wow. All right. I didn't know that. Yeah, Black label has been great.
Starting point is 01:23:35 The Harley Quinn, the Harleen, the Harleen, I guess they called it, was fantastic. Oh, my gosh. So good. Anyway, y'all ought to be reading DC. It's their top of the game right now. What else? That's it. Anything else going on around your world?
Starting point is 01:23:51 You want to find folks? I don't know. I don't know. Brian may have an announcement if he hasn't already made that announcement. I'm going to make it again. Yeah. Steven Schlecker is just one of our contestants, I guess contestants, players for our playthrough of DeMeo.
Starting point is 01:24:06 Demo. Do you know how it's pronounced, Stephen? I just call it Demio. Demio. Yeah, I like that. Demio more. We're going to be playing that 7 p.m. Saturday night, me, Scott, Brian Dunaway, Stephen Schlecker, and Nicole Spagnolo, each play in a different class going through that weird tabletop in that weird basement with the weird stuff all over in the corners of the room. It's really cool. Check it out. It'll be on the Frogpants feed of the stream at frogpents.tv.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Yep. That'll be this. All for a good cause. All for a good cause. Raise the money for the Alzheimer's research. So, uh, Tiny.cc slash Coverville, ALZ 2021. Uh, yep. I hope everybody comes out and watches. It should be a lot of fun. Yeah. And, uh, yeah, I can't wait.
Starting point is 01:24:55 Yeah. And as always, I'm kind of thirsty. How should I handle that? What should I do for it? Oh, definitely. I'm sitting in this hot parking lot. You need to stay hydrant. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:25:02 I'll do that. Hey, uh, I was looking here for those in the chat who missed the Batman series I was talking about. It's called Batman Curse of the White Knight. I'm current, I just finished issue one last night. And I really like that. Curse of the white night. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:14 That's awesome. It's just... God, I need to read a comic, Scott. I've been Jones and for comics. You should read some comic. I've been, you know, my new thing at night, and it really does, I do sleep. I have slept better since I started doing this. My new thing is get in bed, and this seems like counterintuitive, but I pull out the iPad
Starting point is 01:25:32 and I read a comic. And I'll get like two issues in, maybe, of something. And for whatever reason, I sleep like a baby right after that. It's great. It's very good, though. I want to say, Curse of the White Night and just, White Knight or two different series. I'm not sure. That's the other thing is there's so much content here.
Starting point is 01:25:49 I sometimes don't know where to start. It's like the Marvel app, same thing. I'm just like, where do I start? But yeah, it's very good. I wish there was more, I will say this about the Marvel app. Like if you're looking for all your normal staples, it's great. It's all there. But if you want something a little edgier, a little darker, a little more like they used to do, what was their label they called when they had a more mature label for a while?
Starting point is 01:26:11 Epic. Was it Epic? No, not epic. Marvel Epic. Something like that, though, right? Yeah. When they did that, that was awesome. And I wish they would do that more. But I feel like they're so Disney-fied now.
Starting point is 01:26:21 They just are afraid to. And in D.C.'s case, they're like, yeah, we got some stuff there. Oh, Vertigo. That's right. Vertigo. No, D.C. was Vertigo. Oh, yeah. DC is Vertigo.
Starting point is 01:26:30 They're now black label that used to be vertigo, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Vertigo is D.C. And all the vertigo stuff's in here as well. Oh, and also the artist and writer I was talking about as Sean Murphy. His art is so cool. Oh, my gosh. I just want to draw like him.
Starting point is 01:26:44 I want to draw like him. Cool. All right. That's it. Oh, Marvel Knights. That's it. Marvel Knights. Well, that's still, isn't that still a thing with like Daredevil and Luke Cage, that whole crowd?
Starting point is 01:26:57 It's definitely not on the app as the problem. Oh, gotcha. Okay. And I think that's where it's sanitized and it bums me out. I see what you're saying. I'm not saying everything needs to be guts and glory. I'm just saying, I like my story is a little more hard hitting. Gritty.
Starting point is 01:27:09 You want more gritty. A little more grit. That's why I like Greenland so much. Greenland is gritty and hard and difficult, whereas 2012 is candy. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Brian, you're not going to go full Fury Road on Greenland, but it's close. I really liked it.
Starting point is 01:27:27 Reset. That's your fault. It's your fault. You recommended it. It's your fault. Oh, you mean reset the day. No, I'm saying reset the Fury Road calendar. Yeah, we're all set on that.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Don't worry about that. You've got the animation going. Talley, I know 2012 is a shit movie. saying that it is. Don't tell Tom Merritt, but we all know. I'm in fact, you know what? He's in Hawaii, but I'm going to send him a note today saying. Just say, 2012 is shit.
Starting point is 01:27:53 Yeah, I'll say, 2012 is shit. You need to watch Greenland, and he'll, then he'll ask why, and I'll say, and I'll give him all this today. Don't worry. Fair enough. We got a Monday morning mashup to play. It's a good one. I hope you guys enjoy it.
Starting point is 01:28:05 It's based on something called, where is it, there we go. Are you in? I have a sneaky feeling about that. So anyway, here's that. Let's find out what's up. If you take some of it, it'll make you go poo-poo. I sent you a text of the bag. Brian always sends me pictures of his bag.
Starting point is 01:28:32 Always get pictures of my bag, my sack. He'll say, is this looked infected and things like that? Is this supposed to look like this? Yeah. And I'm happy to help. It's not a problem. I don't mind. Looking at your bag.
Starting point is 01:28:41 They're very generous of you, too, offer your insight on my bag. They've been slowly growing over the last few days, and they're all fully erect now, so. So it was Walgreens and a dude. A man hides in a Walgreens and a dude and then tunnels through the wall. It's a wall greens and a dude. Do you mean there was a dude and a dude and a dude? Oh, and a dude. I've ever said, in a dude.
Starting point is 01:29:01 He's in the Walgreens. The Walgreens is definitely not in him. It'll be the Bate Free News Network. That's right. Don't come here to bait. Bate somewhere else. Bate on your own time. Yeah, you bet.
Starting point is 01:29:11 We're masters of the bait-free news. A morphallus titanium. Tatatinanum. Titanum. I don't know. Harder to time with that second word than the first word, but I'm not into it. I don't want to go smell a corpse. Macawks?
Starting point is 01:29:27 Maybe they are macaques. We just wanted to say macaque. I mean, I've been waiting all morning. Finally. Finally found an excuse. That does look like a macaque. Okay. Well, it looks like macaque got, it looks like macaque.
Starting point is 01:29:39 It looks like macaque. McCock. Sorry, I was just slamming my skateboard against the floor because Clairs was out of Purple Studs. I mean, it was, he was making hand gestures mimicking a shooting. So he was trying to do this. That was really specific about Clares and Purple Studs. I'm a little
Starting point is 01:29:55 concerned about your last Monter. There's a scene early on in this thing where the dude's weiner is about to give up the old package there and deliver it to the old egg sacker, you know? These are all terrible ways of saying this. I'm hoping that you don't do
Starting point is 01:30:10 any sort of sex education for your family. Van, read a book. Read a book, buddy. I apologize for this. My wife is sneaking behind me because she's giving me my shot. I apologize. It just happened. Right here, live on the show.
Starting point is 01:30:24 Are you in? Oh, geez. Are you in now? Holy shit. That would hurt. All right, we're good. A gift for the audience is Scott Johnson saying, are you in?
Starting point is 01:30:33 Are you in? Watch that hurt. Oh, that was the highlight of that Tuesday. Otherwise, people were all mad. I don't know if I told you that. We got people mad about that day because, I don't know. They were mad. That's why tomorrow we're talking about documentaries with Justin.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Because they were not happy by his segment. Oh, oh, oh, yes, about Justin's, yes. That particular segment did not go over well. Whatever, you know. It is what it is, right? Yeah. Yeah. No, you're not always going to agree with what Justin says or even what we say for that matter.
Starting point is 01:31:08 Yeah. You'll always agree with what I say. Yeah. Not everybody with you guys, for sure. Why not? I'm bleeding. I don't know why I'm bleeding. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Let's see why we're bleeding here. Okay. That's cool. What's that? Did you prick your finger? No, I seem to have, well, I guess that is part of my finger. It's up high on the hand, but up by my first knuckle of my pointer finger, I have drawn blood. And I don't know why.
Starting point is 01:31:29 Oh, do. Oh, I know. Gosh, dang it. I got to stop keeping Xacto blades. Oh, geez. I got to stop keeping them around here. Let's put it way over here. Or do like this.
Starting point is 01:31:40 and have a plastic cover over your exact obloids, Scott. Oh, man, look, if you, there, ready for action, there, safe. What a safety on, turn the safety on. Ready for action. That sounds great. All right, let's move on. Family feud. Ready for action.
Starting point is 01:31:57 There you go. Brian, there's something going on with the Denver nerds. You want to mention this again? Damn right. Listen, if you are in the Denver area, have I got a thing for you? Do you like, do you like video games? Do you like arcades? Yeah, I love it.
Starting point is 01:32:11 Well, come to Quarters in Longmont. Is that the perfect name for a cool arcade? It's right there on Main Street, quarters in Longmont. The Heartcrate guys are going to be there doing a box building event, assembling boxes for kids who have been pulled from abusive or neglectful living situations. These guys, Heartcrate.org, these guys make custom crates. It's not just your loot crate like, oh, you're going to get a goosey little. Bump's T-shirt and a Teenage Mew Ninja Turtle Paperweight and all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:32:44 No, these guys find out what the kids want and then they give them a box full of the things that the kids like so that they can take it with them wherever they want, right? So like if they, you know, when they get put into a temporary place or find their forever home, that box goes with them and they've always got their stuff. That is heartcrate.org. These guys are doing such great work. And I think because we're not recording a show Saturday morning, I might be up there, too, helping out, helping assemble those crates for kids.
Starting point is 01:33:18 Are we not doing a show Saturday? I thought we were. No, we're recording Sunday morning. Alien and a half is what we're going to be recording. I think I knew this and then I didn't. Now I know it. That's right. Now you know it.
Starting point is 01:33:32 And now you know. Yeah. So anyway, these guys are awesome. And if you want to find out more about them, go to heartcrate.org. And if you live in the Denver area and want to come up there and help out, then find HeartCrate on Facebook. And let them know you're coming. We'll make some room for you. And I'll play a game of a four-person Pac-Man against you.
Starting point is 01:33:52 Oh, that sounds awesome. I love that four-person Pac-Man. I do it, too. It's a totally new game. Yeah, it's good stuff. Yes, very cool. Just when you thought I had my calendar all worked out this week, I screwed up that time. I'll get him.
Starting point is 01:34:04 Oh, no. Okay. Everything is all left up. But it's all good. Sunday's good. We're good. I'm in. We got it.

In the last few months, our department was expanded, and now I'm supervising about 4,000 advisors, which, I'm sure you can imagine is quite overwhelming. Well, my time has finally come. I'm getting beamed up. I just added that part. I'm going corporate and going to be working out of the big ring in Cupertino.
Starting point is 01:36:32 Oh, that's awesome. This is my lifetime dream to work out of the home office, and at 28, it feels amazing. Before this transition, I'll be driving 12 hours from Memphis to go visit my newborn godson in Michigan and taking a well-deserved week off of work and seeing my best friend in the world. 2021 is looking up. My song request is a bit of a joke, and if neither are possible, by the way, neither of them were, then a cover of Gaston's song would be fantastic. Peace and chicken grease, tray, from Memphis.

Anyway, so your second request was Gaston. I've got a cover
Starting point is 01:37:35 of that song from Beauty and the Beast. It's performed by Jonathan Young and Brady Scott, and this thing is Heavy Metal Up the Wazoo. Here is Gaston by Jonathan Young.
