Coming up on TMS, Boy Scouts are just another gang. Moist engorged phlegm. Ew. Cougars and bears hanging out in different bars. That banana is my cousin. Black bear car detailing sucks. Handel bar up the hoo-ha. Detective Harry Twink. We didn't start the fire or kill Ned Beatty.

And maybe we did. I appreciate lizard penis. Hippo violations. T-shirt shops, Torres traps, and, duh, bears. Watermelon flavor thymaster. Can I still use the chode butter? Absolutely. Keep an eye out for bonery, guys. You're not magnetic. You're gross.

Making things with Bill. Spoilers. Shit. Major spoilers and more. On this episode of the morning stream. I'm here to kill chaos. Looks like chaos has been waiting for us. I want to kill chaos. This is the shrine of chaos.

Chaos. We're here to kill chaos. I become chaos. If more boys were Boy Scouts, there'd be fewer boys out on the streets looking for trouble. Welcome back to TMS, the morning stream. It's Monday. Brand new week, June 14th, 2021. I'm Scott. He's Brian.

Hi, Brian. All of this is true. That's right. Brand new week. Yeah, it is brand new week. It doesn't feel like it, though, because I've pretty much been streaming for seven days and now I'm just doing it again. So I didn't really get a week. That's right.

E3, baby. Yeah, a lot of stuff out there going on. It seems pretty cool. I don't, I can't quite get my head around why Sony skipped this one. except I think they maybe didn't have a ton to show like they they don't have you know most of what we know about their upcoming lineup is already known and it's still almost impossible to get a PS5 so I think maybe they were just like yeah well you know we'll do our own thing we'll follow up later it's okay everybody we're not going to worry about it

but uh dice tomato says now I don't want to shock you here right so Brian just make sure you're I know you're not sitting but you know Have your hands out in case you need to grab something here. But Dice Tomato says he is heard slash seen nothing interesting from E3. Nothing. He's seen nothing interesting. Now I'm going to go ahead and say he's wrong. He hasn't heard or seen anything?

Nothing he finds interesting. We went to a fancy restaurant. We ate, we ate pancreas. We climbed to the top of the Sears Tower and looked down. Yeah. Yeah, that whole day. We did a parade for the, we sang Twist and Shout. Yeah.

This. This song goes out to Dice Tomato Who feels like he hasn't seen anything good today Donka Shane Darling, don'tcashame You know There's like eight people in the chat room Who got that reference

That whole bit right there was a nice reference If there's a heaven John Hughes is up there smiling down on you right now Well done Exactly But you're still gonna have to tell his dad about the car So good luck. That's right.

But anyway, I saw all sorts of stuff I thought was interesting. So I don't know what he's talking about. But overall, you know, I mean, weird year, like last year was a little bit weird. But I thought there was tons of stuff, especially the Xbox Bethesda showcase. There's tons of stuff to look at and see. Yeah. This will surprise, again, if we're getting ready for shock, this will surprise nobody. But I'm really excited about that, Guardians of the Galaxy.

the, uh, of course you are. Of course. Squarionix game. Because it looks like it's going to be a lot more fun than the Avengers game. Yeah. I mean, it's a story, you know, it's an RPG, basically. Action RPG, you're going to level up and you're going to have dialogue trees and you're going to tell your, your squad to do things during fights and.

Exactly. Like, so what's the, DASX is the comparison, I think, that I saw? No, that, not, no, no, not even close. Well, some of the same people are working on it that are on the DASX team. that's what I was saying it's more like a ex-com or something like not ex-com but it's like where you're

yeah you're directing a team and the decisions you make determine how well that team goes along with me I would compare it to like a more modern square enix Japanese RPG like the Final Fantasy 7 remake is a good

example it's not turn-based anymore it's a real-time fighting mechanism fight mechanic but while you're in that fight, you can, like, sort of slow things down and tell one of your teammates to do a certain ability or move or whatever. So it's that kind of thing. Yeah.

More like, I don't know, more akin to something like, what's the Disney one with the key? Why can't I think of that? Oh, Kingdom Hearts? Kind of like that. Probably a little more on the, you know, less simple side, but, you know, Kingdom Hearts. And Dice Tomatoes says, but the Marvel games have that weird, uncanny Valley budget likeness, issue. Here's the thing. Keep in mind that the game is more based on the comic characters than it is on the MCU characters, both of them, the Avengers game and the Guardians of the Galaxy game. It's the MCU that, you know, it's every variation where they say, all right, let's take the comic characters and make them look like this. Let's take the comic characters and make them look like that. I don't think Gardens of the Galaxy is trying to make it look like the movie. It's certainly not trying to make it look like Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldon. and, you know,

not even close, yeah. This is, this is like the Avengers game in that they're, they're, I mean, it is a problem for average people who don't read the comics

like you and me. I can see why they would be like, ooh, that isn't like Clint Chris Prant or whatever. But for you and me, we're already used to seeing, like that's, that's Star Lord's hair right now.

Yeah, in the comics. And that's, you know, Gamora started out, or Gamora was, you know, she had like the,

the, the, the, the, the different, paint on her eyes. She was, uh, you're wearing more of a bright-colored white costume. I mean, she's...

Right. You know, this is the gardens of galaxy from the comics that I'm familiar with. Now, here's the problem. Lusely familiar. Loose, familiar. Yeah, yeah. But here's the problem. It will live or die on how it handles the constant comedy snark business.

Yes. And if it sucks, and I'm a little worried that stuff might be bad. Yeah. That will be a problem. If they can nail some of that humor and make it endearing and build characters, that are likable around that level of humor, then they can probably pull this off. But this is the team that made DeiSX

and the head writer who wrote DeSX, which is a very self-serious, not funny game. Right, it's not a lot of humor in that game. No, it's real straight up, like, very self-serious. So I'm tentative on this one, but I don't, I'm not surprised you're excited. Of course. This seems cool.

That's cool, man. Of course. You make more of these. You know what? Move on to the X-Men next. And while you're at it, maybe a fantastic four game. Like, give us some more team-based business would be very cool. And I will say those environments looked real nice.

I like that planet with the wind of mushrooms and stuff. And I like the look of Drax, the different tattoo pattern that's almost like a digital, a really weird, circular digital thing. Yeah, that was pretty weird. That was pretty cool. Adhesive Wombat makes a decent point. You know, if you want a more comic style interpretation, go for more stylized art style. I agree with that.

Like this, when I first saw the trailer start for this and before they started talking about it, I went, oh, they're bringing Star Lord to the Avengers game that came out last year. That's exactly what I thought, because it looks like that. Sure. It does. As they got going, I went, oh, it's its own game. And then it started to make sense. But yeah, they're not really breaking the mold here stylistically.

But also, Marvel's a pain in the ass to work with. I've heard this from actual developers who like live here in Utah when back when they're making Disney Infinity here and they had all the Marvel characters join it. Yeah. And any of that stuff. Any Disney slash Marvel stuff your license to do, they're terrible to work with. Just awfully picky about everything. And part of that is that can't look like Robert Downey Jr. But also here's a million other rules about Iron Man that you have to adhere to.

And they're just really sticklers about it. So I wouldn't be surprised. And what's funny about that is Marvel seems to give their license to just about anybody who wants to use it. Right. But then they're just super sticklers about it. So it's like all of the closely guarding of it only takes place after they've handed the license to 25 different developers. You're totally right. It's weird.

And Star Wars similar problem. There are devs at EA that have told my daughter's classes up at the U. They're like, yeah, Disney's like really. hard to work with so yeah so anyway but i'm not trying to excuse it i do wish they'd have gone more stylistic but maybe it'll be fun i don't know the disney you brought up the disney infinity that is what i consider to be the best stylized video game look of the marvel characters i agree and then they canceled that shit like a bunch of babies yeah it was succeeding too was doing it was doing well but uh yeah disney's like nah we don't feel like it and then they laid off like

600 people here in Salt Egg. Everybody was here was best. That was not a good way. I believe it. I still have all the figures. Well, again, still have all the figures. You know, we'll find out more in a little bit about how much I love Marvel in about two minutes.

Yeah. Brian's going to buy all the Marvel things Brian's going to buy. Real quick here, if you want to know more about everything that happened with E3 so far, at least the major stuff. So the Ubisoft Forward event, the Square Enix event, the Microsoft, Bethesda showcase, all of that stuff. I recorded me and at least one of the core guys. Oftentimes, all three of us,

depends on which one, but doing commentary about each of these conferences. And it's all up on the core podcast feed. So if you're not already subscribed to the core feed, it's also on the mega feed, which has all frog pan shows on it. So you can get it there too if you want. But Core has every single one of them.

They're uncut, us talking. over and around the events and kind of giving our commentary. And there were a couple of really funny moments, like really funny. Really? Okay. It was real good. Anyway, so go enjoy it. CORE, frogpans.com slash core or wherever you get your podcast. Just go search for core and you'll find it.

All right. We didn't kill Ned Baby. I want to put it out there that Brian and I, we may have talked about him. We may have brought him up recently and we did. and that happens on the show, but we did not kill him. We just mentioned him, okay? Ned Beatty passed away, age 83. Yeah.

He's a, you know, Lex Luthor's secondhand man. He had a real rough time in deliverance. He's an amazing actor with a great career. And everyone loved Ned Beatty. I just want to put it out there that we didn't kill him, okay? We had nothing to do with it. Nothing to do with it. Yeah.

we just mentioned his name. Now, if something happens to Veronica Cartwright in the next week. Oh, no. Oh, we talked at length about her on FilmSack. Oh, no. We did. We did.

I hope she's okay. But yeah, we, we, uh, we were, it's not sad loss, but he was 83. That's a good long life. Well done. Uh-huh. They're Ned Beatty and, uh, you know, you, I was, I actually wondered if he would outlive, um, I shouldn't say his name. He'll die.

I know he's the the person who played his boss in that movie. His boss in a certain superhero movie. I wonder of dancing it around makes any difference. But anyway, didn't he outlive the banjo kid? Didn't the banjo kid pass away? No, he's still around. He's a Walmart greeter, that guy. Is he really?

Yeah, for real. Like, there was a, where did I read this interview? Somewhere on YouTube, there was some, a documentary or something. And he's like Walmart greeter and is sad that you didn't have a bigger career because that's kind of all he did. Billy Redden, there we go. Yeah, he's okay. He's lived. Good.

All right, good. As long as Billy Redden is okay. Yeah, as long as he's okay and he's still picking that banjo, everything will be all right. That's right. All right, Brian. Oh, he was in Big Fish. I forgot about that. Oh, yeah, Big Fish was great.

I love Benjian. Yeah. Oh, they want us to say Kevin Spacey? That's not very nice to me. We're not going to start saying names of people we don't like. Hey, Brian, speaking of obsession with Marvel, tell me why August matters, because why would it? Yeah, well, you know, I was able to score a $150 round trip ticket to Orange County at the beginning of August, probably because it's so freaking hot in Orange County in August. But I figured it's a good opportunity for me to finally get to see.

see smugglers run the whole Star Wars, you know, that outpost thing that they've built in Disneyland. And check out the new Marvel stuff in Disney California Adventures. So yeah, dude. Doing a quick three-day trip, got tickets for the

parks all three days because I think... Is this your first time with the Star Wars stuff? My first time seeing the Star Wars stuff. Okay. And obviously first time seeing the Marvel stuff that just opened two weeks ago. Right, right. But, uh, uh, Yeah, it just had to do it.

The way I think about it is, listen, if Disney, if Universal Studios added a Mad Max Fury Road area to their part. Oh, I'd already been. You would have already been. You would have been there opening day, I'm sure. I would have. Like, I'm tempted just to see Waterworld again at freaking Universal. Exactly. That's what I'm saying.

It's like, oh, wow, Star Wars and Marvel there? Okay, cool. And then you've got, oh, Waterworld and MMFR? Okay, we'll go. Yeah. If they made a Mad Max land somewhere, I would... You'd be there, exactly. I'd be there on day one if I could afford it or make it happen.

So, well, that's great. So, figuring out the details, but might do a, maybe a late night, Tuesday, the 10th of August kind of meetup thing. I think it's the 10th. Because that'll be, that's the day that I'm doing California Adventure. And let's face it, there's less stuff to do at California Adventure than there is at the Magic Kingdom, so my day could end earlier there than it would the other nights. Unless you like Barfin, there's pretty good rides

in California adventure for Barfair. Oh, the best rides. I mean, hell, I'll go on California's screaming 10 times. I love that ride. Blu. Brut. With Neil Patrick Harris talking in my ears the whole time. Wait a minute. Is that true? I didn't know that. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, he narrates the ride.

Or at least he did. I don't know. Now that it's the fantastic, it's based on the Incredible. The Incredible, the Credit Coaster, I guess, is what it is now. So I don't know if they've got Neil Patrick Harris on it anymore. Probably not. You still got that rockety-up thing,

the stick that shoot you way up in the sky? That's that called? They do. Yeah, I'm never... That is the ride that I just tend to... Yeah. Nah, okay. Yeah.

Too much anticipation. You know what? I'll take it back. I've never done the one at California Adventure. I'll do that this time. Oh, yeah, you should do it if you're there. I did it once, and that's... I was good.

to do it again. I'm good. Yeah. I'll set on that. There's one based on Storm from the X-Men in Florida at Islands of Adventure, yeah. That's cool. Didn't do that one either. But that's the incredible coaster and the Spider-Man ride at Islands of Adventure in Universal Studios, Florida, are my two favorite theme park rides ever. In the world. in the world

in the world yeah now that's awesome I'm excited for you and if you got any of those OC folks are out there and you want to get together on the on the what do you say

the Tuesday there you should do it the Tuesday yeah I'll put some details up in the in the Tadpool Facebook group and we can figure it figure it out

yeah that's awesome all right so more on that as we get closer to it August is a little ways away and this will be good because it'll be after your ride which means you will

know after your ride if you're going to die or not you'll be fine or you won't. That's right. We'll know in two weeks after my bike ride if I'm going to die or not. Yeah, exactly. There you go. All right. Excellent stuff. We should do

Babbo Royale now, I guess. Oh, I got to call Randy, not Brian. Speaking of Orange County, yeah. Oh, he'll probably see you. He'll probably come by. Yes, yeah, I've been, I talked to him this morning and said, let's do dinner and Sam Jane is in the chat. So, yes, we'll plan on. Perfect opportunity to hang out with the Jordans.

100%. Good morning, Vietnam. Good morning via Tom. Wait a minute. I just linked to you, I just linked to you the 10-day forecast for where I live. Oh, let's see. That's in Discord on our film section. I need you to look at that because you came in talking about the weather.

And then Brian just said something about it being hot in Southern California. That's like perfect. Oh, that's pretty nice. Can you copy and paste and put that into August as well? Is that something that you can do at Blizzard? I mean, you're a weather company, right? Yeah, they're a weather company. I'll give it a shot.

I made some notes the last 20 minutes, by the way. I just want to go through them really, really quick. What are you, Gidgett? Yeah, if more boys were Boy Scouts, there'd be fewer boys on the streets looking for trouble. So Eagle Scout here, a vigil honor member of the Order of the Arrow. I'm here to tell you, the Boy Scouts are just another gang. That's important for you to know.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, you're right. I think, I think Dice Tomato needs to be kicked out of this community. I've been watching an E3 And if you aren't moved by the battlefield trailer Or Far Cry 6 or Halo Infinite Or my gosh, if you weren't wildly entertained by that Outer Worlds 2 commercial That was great.

That was great. It was hysterical. And that's not even to mention Eldon Ring because I don't care about Eldon Ring, But my gosh, a lot of people care about Eldon Ring. Oh, yeah, a lot of talk about Eldon Ring. Listen, Dice Tomato, you're safe. Don't worry.

This is just hypothetical. Fortunately, Randy does not control the temple. Yeah. He only controls, as we all know. So on Friday, I think it was, I'm in the other room doing work during one announcement trailer. So I couldn't see the trailer.

But what I heard was Overwatch. I heard solid Overwatch sounds and music. And I'm like absolutely certain there's a surprise Overwatch 2 trailer playing in my living room. And then I go in there and it's Mario plus Rabbids? Really?

Yeah, the new Mario Rabbids game. There's a sequel. That's the X-Com. Yeah, there you go. The X-com duplicate. I love that first game, so I'm all in on that one. Pretty stoked. And so my final note, if you're going to use a character,

voice actor for your Incredibles-themed ride, the voice to use is Sarah Vowel. Get on it. Oh, yeah, Violet. Have you been on the Incredit coaster? You have to have, right? Mm-hmm. do they have a voice now i've been on it once since they changed it around i'm sorry i don't remember

i i really like i i hate that about me but like i i i barely remember the guardians ride and it's like like because you you're standing around a lot and rockets yelling at you and you're following him you know what i mean yeah i think i've heard three i've been on a three i think i've listened to three of the songs that they have of the seven different uh seven different rides you could potentially get after after we went to california adventure the one time like a year and a half ago we came home and i went to youtube to look it all up right and like so then i'm watching because there are people who have like here's a compilation of of all of it and how it works and it's like so it's like i didn't even have my own experiences i had someone else yeah oh that's

very nice uh well all right uh you're going to be a great asset come august oh look at this Hey, that music means something. What does it mean? It means it's time for Babel Royale. Kind of Randy edition today because Brian and Dunaway's out sick. We wish him well. And we were grateful that Randy popped in to do this for us. So, Brian, why don't you explain how this is going to work today?

I will do just that. This is the morning squirm. It's a back-and-forth trivia game where our players will match what's on topics that Cliff Claven would have offered up at the Cheers Bar. Scott and Randy will take turns answering multiple-choice trivia questions. And if they get their question wrong, the point goes to the other player. The first player to five points wins the prize for their contestant. And we're pulling contestants from members of the tadpool that aren't able to listen live. So, Scott, you're going to be playing for Andy from Cuyahoga, or Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Nice. And Randy, you're going to be playing for Les Gebhardt, formerly of California and now living in Prague. He's a Prague rock. He's a Prague rock. He's a Prague rock. He's a Prague rocker, and he's teaching English there, right? So many people move from California to Prague.

It's just sort of such a strange thing. It might as well just open up a hyperloop directly to Prague from Los Angeles. Is he teaching English still, or what was the deal he was doing there? I believe so, yeah. That's pretty awesome. That's very good. Totally, yeah. Love that.

He's a great guy. We love less. All right. So we got questions, five trivia questions for you guys that are kind of gross or kind of weird, kind of out there. Randy's our guest, so I'm going to start with Randy. Randy, in a recent survey, this word was voted the grossest word in the English language. Oh, my lord. Is it smegma?

Ew. Moist. I mean, yes. I'm going to say yes to all these. Engorge or phlegm. Smegma, moist. in Gorge or Flem, which word was voted the grossest

in the English language? I have to say moist. All right, Randy says, Moist, is it moist? It is not moist. Okay. You automatically get a point, but if you do want to guess, I guess, I get a point anyway.

Let me guess. Yeah. Flam, maybe. It is not flam. It is smegma. Smemma is the grossest word in English. Neither Scott nor I wanted to say that word. That's how you know it's the right answer.

Part of it. Part of me thinks that Smegma, I always thought Smegma was more of like a, you know, people of a certain age only knew it. It was like a junior high term you knew, but then it falls out of favor because you're older and it's just like a youth thing. So I'm surprised by that. I think it's one of those things that you learn as a kid because it's so gross, right? Like it's, you know, you go to middle school and first day, one of the kids, pulls you inside and says, you know what smigma is? Yeah, that's like the first thing, day one.

Right, exactly. Fair enough. All right, so Sky gets a point. Let's go over to him for question number two. All right. While chimpanzees are the animals that are genetically closest to humans, it turns out that we share 60% of the same DNA with what? Are they rats, houseplants, bananas, or pigeons?

What else do we share 60% of our DNA with? I'm going to say the one that sounds the least likely because I don't actually know. And I'll say houseplants. House plans is incorrect. Damn it goes to Randy, but Randy, do you have a guess? What are my other options again? Rats, bananas, or pigeons? What do we share 60% of our DNA with?

Oh, well, then I have to say bananas because I was leaning toward houseplants myself and that's not right. The others are clearly higher, right? Higher percentages. They would be higher. Yeah, exactly. We share 60% of DNA with bananas. This is correct. Oh, man.

Wow. All right. Well, he got the point either way, right? That's right. Okay. All right. Boy, this is going to be a fun one to pronounce. This one is going back to Randy, to get the first guess.

Azodicarbonamide. Azodicarbonamide is a chemical that's used to make yoga mats. You can also find it in what popular fast food item? Is it? The McDonald's McRib, the Wendy's Frosty, the Subway Salad, or the Pizza Hut pepperoni pizza? I think I know this one because we did it on the show, didn't we? Okay. I thought this came up on here.

May have. Of those things, the thing that I feel has let me down the farthest over my lifetime is Pizza Hut. So I'm going to go with the pizza. Pizza Hut is incorrect. Scott gets the point. Do you have a guess, Scott? Yeah, I think we talked about it on the show, and I think it was McRibs. It is McRib.

Yeah, McRib has the same chemical that's used to make yoga mats. Yeah, it came up in a story, and there people are all pissed about it, and it was also in nuggets and other stuff, and everybody was mad at McDonald's for that. And then, I don't know, and then McDonald's was like, Well, look at all these other food items that have it in it. And then everyone was like, okay, fine, whatever. I guess we're all eating yoga mats. All right.

Well, I feel good about that. All right. So that gives me a point. Seriously, but pizza hut. Pizza Hut, how the mighty have fallen. Yeah. Food used to be so good. I agree.

I used to love pizza. I don't think I've had a pizza at pizza in years, actually. It's been a while for me. I mean, it was so good when I was growing up, and we loved it there. And it was such a great family place to go, and we just get big pictures of root beer. And the pizza was good. the environment or the what do you call it the the atmosphere was good and then something happened and it's poop now too many people stole those red plastic cups and uh and to cut costs to pay for them uh they had to that's right seriously though buy buy those online like they're you can have a whole set for yourself the red plastic cups yeah yeah full set all right my turn right all right uh this question is going to Me, right?

Scott first, yes. Not everybody wants to taste the entire rainbow. Which Skittles color was voted the least favorite flavor in a survey? Is it yellow, the lemon? Is it orange, the orange? Is it purple, the grape, or is it red strawberry? Which is the least popular Skittles flavor? I'm going to say yellow.

I don't like yellow, so yellow. yellow is correct Scott gets the point we broke the pattern you just broke our streak yeah exactly exactly is finally okay good well my instincts are correct I don't like the yellow ones well done speaking of surveys Randy is anyone keeping score who's keeping score by the way I'm keeping score Scott has three Randy has one oh oh all right yes speaking of surveys according to a survey this is the least favorite side dish on the Thanksgiving table. Is it

cranberry sauce stuffing mashed potatoes or yams? That's too easy. Right? Oh, give it to me again? Sure. Your four choice is the least favorite side dish on the next game.

I like all of them. So much. Is it cranberry sauce stuffing, mashed potatoes or yams? I, the, so the that's always gotten passed over the most in my experience is the cranberry sauce. So I'm going to say that, but I personally

love cranberry sauce. Yeah, you don't want to be smirch the cranberry sauce. I feel like. Is it cranberry sauce? It is. Congratulations. You get the point. Randy. Three to two. I think they feel like that's a question you'd ask kids because it's always the kids that hate the cranberry sauce. And I don't understand why.

Right? Because it's like, it's just pure sugar. Yeah, right. You're just putting sugar on your turkey. guess it's just like tart and so i don't know kids hate the tart i don't know i could be wrong on that but i also grew up in the south where over over my lifetime they went from serving sweet potatoes to serving sugar on with a base layer of a little bit of sweet potato wow that's that sounds bad for me or yams is that what they call yeah yeah sometimes they're called sweet potatoes sometimes

yams my sister has an amazing yam recipe she got for my grandmother like i didn't think i liked yams when I was growing up, but I actually love them, and I would eat them now. She had them in front of me. I mean, nowadays, like, the weight by weight, the marshmallow outweighs the yams, like 10 to 1. Yeah, I think you're right. There's a lot in there. But it makes it nice and crispy and brown. See, that's the idea.

Very nice. All right. All right. This one going to Scott. Yes, you're correct. All right. Then natural, specifically natural, vanilla, strawberry and raspberry flavoring that we use actually comes from A, a beaver's anal gland, B, marijuana plants, C, baby vomit, or D, a lizard's penis.

Beaver anal gland. Is it beaver anal gland? It sure is, yeah, the castorius or whatever. Yeah, my wife told me this. She said, I said, what is this? She goes, oh, that's some, I got some new vanilla flannel. flavor stuff and she goes you know that comes from beaver's anus and i was like whatever i thought she's lying natural vanilla yeah natural vanilla flavoring comes from the castorium uh the the beaver

zanum gland but uh most of the worlds or most of the vanilla that we use is synthetically produced vanilla right so we're not actually pulling it out of his ass anymore we're not exactly no and the bean is the bean right the bean right the bean's a thing and i thought the smegma question was gross We're way, way down the hill now. Oh, yeah, yeah, we've gone, we've gone down here. All right, let's do this. I got to tell you, I appreciated lizard penis. I don't know why.

Lizard penis. That's good. All right. Randy, never sit down for a meal with a daddy long legs. After eating, daddy long legs are known for vomiting up their meal and eating it again, pulling each of its eight legs through its jaws to floss shitting all over the place or eating other daddy long legs

if it feels that it hasn't had enough um no it's Randy's I know I know sorry I'm thinking out loud because I'm dying to figure this one out go ahead Randy I'm just I don't what what's happening how did we get here

yes yes I'm now determined to be the big loser because I don't want to be known for knowing any of this. You're going to walk away with some great knowledge today. What was the first? Sure. The first one was puking up its meal and eating it again. I'll go with that one. That seems like the least bizarre.

Is it puking up its meal and eating it again? No, it is not. Scott gets the point and has five points. Do you have a guest, Scott, before I tell you what it is? Eating the other ones, eating other spiders? No, believe it or not, it pulls each of its eight legs through its jaws to floss and remove any bits of food from its teeth. What? So, wait, does it then grow on back?

Is that the idea? It doesn't break its legs off to floss. It just goes. Oh, it uses it. Oh, I misheard that in a way that was wrong. That may have been. I kind of did, too. Well, technically, you misheard it in a way that was right.

Yeah. But you say each one of its legs, and my brain went, oh, he eats all of the legs? Wow. Gotcha, yes. So congratulations going out to Andy from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. You are going to be getting Death Squared and Pinstripe from Steam, courtesy of our friend Zaki, Z-A-K-I.

But less you're not going home empty-handed or staying home empty-handed, since you really didn't show up here, you're getting a copy of Crusader Kings Complete, also courtesy of Zaki. You could argue, this is just a side note, but you could argue, Crusader Kings Complete is actually the better package. So he kind of won in a weird way, yeah. I mean, it depends on what your tastes are, but that's an amazing collection. Is it? Okay. I've never, actually, I've never heard of any of these games, so.

These are all good, but that third one there is a good one. So well done. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Andy, I was happy to represent and do well, and I'm glad that you won, dude. And also, Les, we miss you in America, but we're glad you're over there in Prague, telling them what for in English. Randy, it's always a pleasure, man. We did Alien this weekend. It was so fun.

So yesterday I'm playing Warzone, and I keep getting into groups with strangers, right? And it's like, it's, you know, it's a random mix of people who have roughly the same latency as me, right? And I ended up in a war zone game with a couple of Russians. absolutely 100% Russians as Russian as they come and I swear to God I'm not making this up their names were Boris and Peter Pan oh that's fantastic that's a magical combination did you did you end up in the you didn't end up in the gulag with them there when you when you got killed or anything did you because that seems very Russian to do that I avoid any mode with the gulag I mean I've definitely been in the gulag many many times but I just don't

like that mode because you know it's that sucks fighting for your life i thought that was the war zone mode that there was no avoiding it is that not true oh no there's tons of modes in that game you should check it out i haven't checked war zone in a while i should probably go ahead and install the 300 mega or gigabytes that it is and uh wow give it a shot i have plenty of disk base i just need to do it uh well well done as always a pleasure have a fantastic day and we'll see you see you next I'll see Randy. I know. Oh, I kicked him out of film site, but not here.

Damn it. Did you really? Yeah. I've done this before where... Yeah. He remember he referred to his list and he's like, go check it out over there. I just put it in there. There we go.

Okay. He's down at it. That old group. Feel like a dummy. All right. Well done. Very good. Where are we now?

I know. Some news. Time for the news. Brought to you by. Brought to you by. all of the awesome backers who helped raise money for Alzheimer's research a couple days ago. We had a great time playing Demio and, of course, hanging with all of you guys. Thanks to you, we hit the initial goal, and then we hit the new goal that I adjusted, and then we hit the third goal.

And I just got a text this morning from Courtney, from the longest day, who says, Brian, you are crushing it as usual. Thank you, thank you. Just came in, actually, while we were doing the show here. Oh, very nice. She's from the Alzheimer's research group that puts together the longest day. So, thank you for all of your donations to this cause. You can actually still make a difference. The 20th Sunday is the actual longest day. I'm going to be at a family reunion, so that's why we didn't stream on that day.

But you guys can still donate. Go to tiny.cc.c. slash coverville, ALZ 2021. That's tiny. dot cc slash coverville al z 2021 yep and all lowercase which is weird all lowercase for some reason tiny dot cc it requires it yeah i don't come a fix your fix your deal tiny dot cc i bet they can't know i bet they've got too many people who've like purchased yeah specific because that's their whole business model right like that's how they make money is they have people retain these addresses and

then they got to keep them case sensitive i don't know it's annoying exactly yep but anyway uh very very cool um that was the blast by the way and i'm and i'm really bummed that we didn't uh that watching the game watching uh demio was not enough to drive you to go pick up a quest two right away i i'm gonna make an admission here i had the page open and had it in my cart the entire did you really that far oh my gosh the fact it's still in there it's technically still in my cart so i'm not saying it's impossible i basically this is what i'm doing i'm like all right i'm I'm going to wait till the end of E3 just to see if there's a leak or a peep. A one more thing from Oculus.

Or even if it's not them. Even if it's not them. Like they're probably not going to do anything until their Connect thing in September. But I want some dev to accidentally drop it. You know, like some dev will go, oh, yeah, we're making a version of this for the Quest 3. And then someone will go, shoot, I'm supposed to talk about that. And then I'll go, ah, quest three. I was right to wait.

Screw you, done away, telling me not to wait. That's right. That's all I want is. dragging rights um anyway that's awesome and well done everybody it was a good time uh all right we got the story here about a black bear those are scary if you don't know what you're going around those are some of the more vicious those and polar bears surprisingly yeah polar bears are dicks if you rile them up they are dicks yeah and the funny thing is see this is like greenland and iceland everyone thinks iceland is all ice and greenland's all green and it's like the opposite

it's like uh parkways and driveways yeah kind of like that and uh in the case of like hippos and rhinos are like that rhinos are docile and nice and not really all that quick to anger hippos will rip your head off and eat it yeah so don't be especially if you especially if you cause a hippo violation yeah you don't want to cause any hippo violations you know your doctor leaks that you've uh you've got a um a weird leaky anus that's a hippo violation A violation, yes. You know how it works. Anyway, so this black bear got trapped inside a parked car in Tennessee. Hello, Tennessee listeners. A Georgia teacher visiting Tennessee woke up one morning to find a bear had locked itself or had locked itself inside of a parked car.

They didn't give the gender of the bear. That's fine. Mary Jane Yarborough, an art teacher from Warner Robbins High School in Houston County, Georgia, said she was in Gettlenburg to take a class for a project. she's planning for her students next year. She said her car had been left parked on an incline overnight and a bear had apparently managed to open the door, climb inside the door, slammed shut behind him. It was six in the morning, I just kept hearing honking happening. Oh, man, it's so fun to think of the bear like, like, hey, hey, hey, let me out.

I'm in this car. I don't know how these doors work. Yeah, that's awesome. Find the switch. It says that, let's see, I opened the door, my dog was going crazy, and I see that my car, the car that is honking and shaking was like, oh my gosh, someone is in there, someone stuck in my car. She called police and then discovered the occupant of her car was actually a black bear. Officers were able to help get the bear out of the vehicle, but not before it caused significant damage to the interior. Quote, he ripped the dash, my airbag, the radio is out, he went through my glove box, says Yarborough.

She said there was a pack of gum And a protein bar inside the vehicle But the bear didn't touch those So don't like So confirm Bears don't like gum And they're not really into protein bars So there's good

Yeah I've been to Gatlinburg I want to say we went to Gatlinburg When we went to Dollywood And it's one of these towns It's like Because Pigeon Forge is the other one The other one you go through To get to Dollywood

But it is Wall-to-wall T-shirt shops Yeah. And miniature golf courses. Oh, my. Souvernear shops, that sort of thing. It's just, yeah, just wall to wall. As Dice Tamedo says, tourist trap up the wazoo.

I kind of like that. I like that kind of kitsch, you know? I don't mind it. You do, but then when you don't see anything else for miles, then you kind of like, oh, yeah, I'm not getting a break from. the giant Helvetica signs for t-shirts and uh souvenirs yeah i guess that's true i don't want too much yeah too much a good thing um yeah well anyway she's uh she's good now so everyone if you're worried you don't she's fine we bet we get stories like that i'm pretty sure you do too but we get

stories like that all the time here in colorado with people who leave food in their car leave windows down or whatever and they come back and find that their car is torn apart from the inside because a bear got in there. Oh, my gosh, yeah. Sometimes it's a, there's, I don't see, in Provo, they had problems with Mountain Lion, or not Mountain Lions, Cougars getting into people's cards. Oh, geez, really. Yeah, I don't mean

some 42-year-old women looking for young guys. Yeah, a lot of makeup, some jewelry, you know. Giant glasses of wine. Yeah, pretty well to do for themselves, condo, you know, all that. Those kind of cures. But yeah, like that'll happen.

You know, animals, they were here before us. They don't give a shit. Right. If they can get in your car and tear it to pieces, they'll do it. I don't blame them. I would, too, if I was a cougar. Why not? We're a bear.

You know what's funny is both bears and cougars have, those are both euphemisms for a type of lifestyle. They are, yes. Never the twain shall meet, though. You never see a cougar and a bear. No, they don't attend the same functions, the same meetups. And I'm not saying, I'm not saying there aren't any cougars in Idaho. I'm just saying there are a lot of bears in Idaho.

And I don't know that they, yes, Brian's right, they hang out in different bars across the road, across this town from each other. We need a third one so that Dorothy can walk downtown through New York and go, lions and cougars and bears, oh my, lions and cougars and bears, oh my. Wait, what's a lion? Is it a lion something? That's what I'm saying we need a third one. Oh, I see. Yeah. What would that be?

Let's think of this. All right. There's no, like a leopard, an otter. An otter. otters and cougars and bears oh my i don't know what they would be though okay pride let's see otters what is okay an otter sam is really pushing the other thing is an otter a euphemism for something yeah it wasn't otter we know we do know a beaver is a euphemism for something yeah it's a a verduregerger that's right uh sugars live in condo a skinny hairy guy is an otter oh is it

okay skinny hairy man man interesting so not a two twink, but a hairy twink. Harry twink. If I was going to be a detective, by the way, that would be my detective. Yeah, I mean, Harry Twink. The Adventures of Harry Twink. Oh, man,

that's a great book series. I loved reading The Adventures of Harry Twink. All right, twinks are different, says Sam Jay. Otters and Cougars and Bears, oh, my. There you go. Nailed it. Let's move to Las Vegas for a minute. Let's take a look there. Just for a minute, I wouldn't be able to live in there. Oh, you can't live there.

You can't live there. You just have to visit. No. Las Vegas, well, sorry, I guess Medzula would disagree, but anyway, Las Vegas woman crushed three watermelons in seven and a half seconds and beat the world record.

Wow. All right. I can't wait to find out what part of her body she used. Her ample bosom. No, I don't know. Let's see. Should we find out? I bet there's video.

I didn't think to look. Oh, gosh. Hopefully there's video. I would love some video here on the UPI story. No, there's none, or is it blocked? And if so, maybe we just get her to replace Carrot Top of the Luxor. Yeah, that'd be good,

right? He's looking rough. By the way. He is. Yeah. That stuff's going south, real quick. Well, anyway, here's the deal about her. It looks like an R-crumb drawing of Carrot Top now. Yeah. Yes. Well

said, and I think that eyeliner's permanent, and I think you regret to it. I think so, yes. Oh, here it is. There is. his video. It just took forever to load. All right. I'm going to play. There was a space for it. Yeah, it did the same thing here where there was a space for it and it just didn't show up. Yeah, that was weird. All right, there she is. Oh, look at this.

She's like doing it with her fies. Oh, geez. Look at her. Oh, wow. This guy should. Oh, wow. All right. Well, don't get stuck with her in an elevator. Still single. Still single, guys. those thighs my gosh she's going to destroy those things and she did all right well her story goes like this

a Nevada bodybuilder crushed a world record when she used her thighs to crush crush rather three watermelons another eight seconds Courtney Olson owner of girl clothing athletic wear line that says g r r r r l all in caps girl said she decided to take on the watermelon smashing world record to celebrate the opening of the brand news store in Las Vegas I decided in correlation with our stores opening it's a community space and we really wanted to start utilizing the space to teach things to share this watermelon crushing story with our younger girls she says she told that to the eureka time standard have you been to that paper eureka yes uh eureka northern california outside of uh uh like up by San Francisco maybe up by Oakland now northern California

I think Northern California I could be wrong I've been to Eureka Nice I like by the way They interviewed this woman Later on in this video that we were looking at And she's she's beautiful And she also has Star Lord's hair

From the new square he makes video She totally does Let's take a look here chat She's right here Let's move this forward Oh yeah total Star Lord hair Yeah She looks like she could bend me and have

half and destroy my life. Oh, man. She's very strong. She is. And motivated. Look at the motivation coming off her. Yeah. I mean, basically, she'd rip me in half is what she'd do. Lovely woman. She'll destroy my life. All right. There's that story. And, uh, oh, she's going to, by the way, speaking of, oh, yeah, go ahead. Oh, go ahead. I was going to say, speaking of Vegas, I don't know if you heard, but last night, the TMS Vegas location for our live show, the bunkhouse, sadly had a fire they've been closed since because those pictures are I remember the door

it really bummed me out to see that yeah they the place has been closed since since last year because of the pandemic and unfortunately some homeless people were staying in there and a fire got out of control and burn the place up

yeah it looks pretty bad I don't know the article I read it showed pictures and stuff but it didn't say whether it was salvageable so I hope I hope it's not so bad that they have to just scrap. I know, because that's such a great indie music venue for Vegas and great, you know, really good size to the place. It'd be a bummer if they can't get that thing back.

We'd like to have it perhaps in a future event, you know? So maybe, maybe don't burn things down is what we're saying. Maybe don't burn things down, yes. All right. One more story here. This is good because this is a bike ride story. Oh, good. I'm just happy we were on the shirt that.

fits that. Yeah. You're getting ready for all that. So here we go. No shirts, pants, or undies needed on a bike ride just to mask. So Brian, get nude and get going. All right. Good. I, yeah. Do I still get to use the chode butter, though? Because I think I still have to. Yeah, you can use the chode butter. It's not a problem. Okay. All right. I mean, I don't want to go near you, but you can wear it. It's not a problem. So here's what it is. You certainly don't want to use my bike seat after this. No, no. No. don't um all right so because your your bike seat will also be wearing the chode butter it turns out right exactly yes uh philadelphia bike riders won't need their shirts pants skirts or even underwear just a mask organizers of the annual philly naked bike ride said this year's event will take place on august 28 then will require masks uh based on the city's earlier coronavirus restrictions the city lifted most of its covid 19 rules this week citing an increase in vaccinations and decrease in cases but riders uh uh uh ride organizer said they hadn't had a chance to chat since the last city guidelines change. So for the time being, we're going to stick with our initial mask guidance.

And so it's just masks, that's it. That's all they're going to wear. That's all you have to wear is a mask. Yeah, that's it. Yes. Maybe wear it on your crotch. Wear it there. You know, I think if I were doing this, I think people would still also be practicing some social distancing. Yeah, you know, six feet away from that guy.

Yeah. You worry about one of those scrums, though, where somebody clips another back tire and then you're all piled up. Oh, God. And nobody has any. sort of protection on or anything that's awful. Could a handlebar up the hoo-ha is what you'll get. Yeah. So yeah, I

just wanted to say about this story what was I going to say about it? Well, we should say, by the way, that the naked ride is to promote positive body image, advocate for the safety of cyclists and protest dependence on fossil fuels. There you go. I think they just really threw a dart at a bunch of like causes and they wanted to ride naked and they said,

Yeah, how can we justify this? Yeah, I would say keep an eye out for bonery people. If you see a dude, you know what I mean? Like, I never trust these things entirely because I'm actually a big believer in all those causes you mentioned. It's just, I know there's a couple of guys or a half a dozen guys out of the, however many thousands show up, that are there because they think this is hot. And they got their weaners out. And I just say, I don't need to be behind somebody on a bike. Yeah.

when they're leaning forward on their handlebars and peddling up that hill. I just don't need to see it. Yeah, you see a bonery fella run the other way, is what I'm saying. Dudes are gross, is what I'm saying. Dudes are gross. Oh, I know what I was going to say. So COVID-19 rules being lifted in a lot of places. California just did an entire lift, which I think California's happy about,

because vaccinations are at a level where, you know, people are feeling good about it, especially for vaccinated people. However, this delta variant, which everybody is sort of studying now, seemed to be the prominent strain in India that was causing so much havoc there. This thing is making it so if you were 97, 98% resistant to the current more common virus, people are only about 75 to 80% resistant to this delta variant. It's still better to be vaccinated because you don't get as sick. Like it's not as brutal if you're vaccinated if you end up getting.

it, but these are breaking through the vaccination for some people. My point is saying all of this is, the more vaccinated we are as a population, the less big deal that is. So, hey everyone,

on the fence or with dumb ideas, go get vaccinated. Worried about being magnetic? Yeah, go get vaccinated. By the way, none of those keys are the kind of metal that are magnetic. You're just all grubborn. You're just all

growing. You're just all gross because your skin is oily and oily woman and that's why uh magna keys stick to you yeah and bobby pins won't mix on your neck for whatever reason you're not magnetic you're disgusting that's what you are so go my favorite part of that clip is the end where she goes any questions yeah like she was ready to say that unfortunately after watching her experiment fail on her neck for like three items it uh right and sam makes the point like the more vaccination the less the less uh this thing can break through, but also the less variance will get in the first place because mutations happen

when you're not vaccinated. So stop it. Go and get one. And don't send me your emails telling me your dumb reasons. I don't want to hear him. I don't want to hear him. Just get freaking, let's do this, man. There's a chance we have to get to all together and let's quit being dumb. All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we'll talk about the maker world with Bill a little bit. And then major spoiler zone, Stephen Schlecker, joining us after his fantastic showing in Demio the other night. He'll be. here with us as well. So stick around for that. Before that, though, a song break with

Brian Ibbett's description. That is correct. Let's go to Cincinnati, Ohio for a band called Settle Your Scores. They've got a brand new LP that's going to be coming out August 20th via Mutant League Records, thanks to them in earshot media for sending me this one. The new LP is going to be called Retrofit.

And this is the new single and video from that album. Here is Settle Your Scores and Ment for Miser. Misery. Woke up at 3 p.m. with a handful of dread. Gotta do this all over again. Well, I don't know if I can face this. Cause I'm staring down the barrel of a day saw aimless.

How the hell did this happen? Did I just wake up in this rut I'm trapped in? Feel like a rat in a cage? Makes it around in a maze. Just to get through each day. They keep telling me things I'll get better, but I... Well, I can't wait for forever. They keep telling me things oh get better than life is looking on, but shit's worse than ever.

It's worse than ever I tried and I tried But it got me nowhere I tried and I tried But life just ain't fair And now I finally see that the whole world Has it ever made And things are meant to bait

And maybe I'm just meant for misery Misery Misery I'm learning for misery Misery A little more misery I'm always in the eye of the shit store Back at the epicenter ever since the second I was born

Be trying to make the best of the hand that I was down Don't mean to sound bitter but I better be better I'll be in anybody else I started my self I guess it looks like I'm stuck in fucking home So give me one good reason not to give up now Cause I'm done believing things the work that sounds out They keep telling me things will get better but I Well, I can't wait for forever

They keep telling me things Don't get better than life is looking up But shit's worse than ever I tried and I tried But it got me nowhere I tried and I tried But life just ain't fair And now I finally see

That the whole world has it up for me And things aren't meant to be And maybe I'm just meant for misery Misery Misery, Misery, Misery loves my company Misery Misery

Misery Blobs my company In any moment I'm gonna blow it I guess I'm hopeless In any moment I'm gonna blow it I guess I'm hopeless

In any moment I'm gonna blow it I guess I'm hopeless In any moment I'm gonna blow it I should have known I tried and I tried And I tried, but it got me nowhere.

I tried, and I tried, but life just ain't fair, and now I finally see that the whole world has it out for me, his dreams are meant to be, and maybe I'm just mad for misery. When it comes to video games, nobody compares to Atari. I find in television more sophisticated and lifelike. Gentlemen, move over for my friend Vic, the Commodore, Vic 20.

move over. A Commodore VIC-20 does more than your machines. It's a great computer that also plays great games like this, and this, and this. A computer that plays great games? Under $300. Exactly. We didn't know. This ain't a hangout for damn

street gangs. Yeah, right. Drink your dog piss. Wow. The morning stream. Ah, you didn't say the magic word. Welcome back to the show, everybody. Welcome back.

Oh, a song, Brian, that song again? That song again is called Ment for Misery. That is the band Settle Your Scores from their upcoming LP called Retrofit. Awesome. Go get it. Just a cavalcade of great music every day here on TMS. Go take advantage of Brian's Good Graces. All right. Let's do this now.

Your bat caves open there, Bill. Joining us on the line, Mr. Bill Duran, all the way from Punished Props.com, the home of many cool things that he's made. And he joins us again today like he does every Monday. Good morning, Bill. Good morning. How's it gone? How was your weekend?

How's things? It was very pleasant. Yeah. I went and saw a friend of mine. I hadn't seen in, well, about a year and a half. And we hung out indoors. Whoa. Wow.

Crazy. He had, he has two golden retrievers. I spent two hours petting golden retrievers, and it was fabulous. Oh, that is therapy right there. Oh, my God. Unless they're stinky. Were they stinky? No, they were glorious golden retrievers.

Nothing wrong with little dog time in your life. That's good. Yeah. Well, and you have so much cat, like were they a little suspicious around you? Because, you know, you get that cat and they probably smell like dog now. No, the dogs were just elated to have more humans to pet them, I think. That's true. Those things shed like crazy.

You should have them collect the shed and then you take it back and then do a maker thing out of it. Make like a, I don't know, like a Viking helmet out of some dog shedded hair. That's a cool idea, right? Or is that gross? That doesn't sound fun at all. Well, you know, not everything has to be fun, damn it. All right. Hey, just kidding.

It's good to have you here. Let's dive right in. What, what do you got going on these days that we might want to hear about? Well, a couple of weeks ago, we finished our shop move, and I wanted to talk about it. I'm finally emotionally ready to talk about it. My lower back has recovered enough that I can talk about it. I wondered how that had gone, because I know that was, that's a big undertaking to move all that. It was a massive undertaking, and Brittany and I did nearly all of it. We had some help with the heavy stuff. We have an employee who helped us move the heavy stuff. But we did everything else, and we took our time. We spent a couple of months doing everything. And I really wanted to cover that because I feel like we did a good job. Like, I'm really proud of how we'd handled it.

We've moved our shop several times. Actually, we've moved it four times since I started building it and collecting tools. And every time, boy, it gets a little more difficult. We just, we keep making stuff. stuff that we have to keep. Yeah. And some of them are big. Amazing how that happens.

Yeah. The bigger your shop, the more capable you are of big, heavy things, and now you got those to worry about. Sure. Oh, I know. And I made a lot of that stuff

over the past three years. We were in our big workshop for three years. I went and counted. We finished over 70 props and costumes in three years. Yeah. And that's all stuff we did up for video. So there's dozens of other little things, too that are just accumulating

Yeah We had to move all of that The other thing we learned is when you have a big space Like you're renting a large warehouse or whatever Furniture just appears Like large furniture Just happens Large furniture just happens

Yeah, you're right We just ended up with so much office furniture At the end of that three years That we got a lot of it for free That nobody wanted Because now everyone's working from home and no one wants office furniture. No, that's true.

So a lot of that ended up getting, we tore it down and threw it in the dump. We just got rid of it. Yeah. Sometimes that stuff's, I mean, it depends on the, I guess the condition and stuff. But some of that stuff's even hard to give away. Like I had an office chair. I tried to take to a sort of an equivalent to a goodwill. And they were like, yeah, we can't take any more of these.

Yeah, I took a lot of that stuff to Goodwill. They turned me away. They're like, yeah, we got plenty of office chairs. Yeah. I guess that's a thing. So that we had to figure all that stuff out. We took our time and we did. Here are a few things that we've learned that we've found make moving less painful.

And this is good advice, obviously, if you're moving your workshop, but if you're moving your house too, this is pretty good advice. We've moved our house five times since we moved to Seattle 15 years ago, so we have a lot of practice. Jeez, that's a lot. Wow. Yeah. Preparing the new location is critical. So our basement was where we were moving all our stuff, or most of our stuff, until we also rented a storage unit. But the basement, before we moved everything in there, I cleaned it feverishly, vacuumed everything, cleaned everything.

And then this took a lot of extra work, but we moved the furniture first. So that meant at the place where we were removing stuff from, we had to take everything off the shelves, put it on the ground, tear it on the shelves, move the shelves, put the shelves back. up and then move the stuff from the ground to the new place and put it out of the shelves. But let me tell you, when you're moving a ton of stuff, especially when it's heavy, into a new location, and the shelves are already there. Oh, it's a great feeling. So good. Nothing goes on the floor.

You just start stacking stuff on shelves. It makes the moving in so much more streamlined. Yeah. So we did that. That was really, really great. and then we also like I built a little a little model of my basement

a little cardboard model so I could rearrange my furniture in small scale to figure out where everything goes I did that ahead of time and it was really useful super useful to get the general layout of like workstations so you know I have one workbench

it's going to go in a certain area that's where my lathe and machining tools go I have another workbench it's going to go in a different area that's where my laser cutter and 3D printers are going to go. I can also set up my air, my dust, or not dust, but fume extraction. There we go for my laser cutter, right? And so I can figure out where that stuff was going to go near a power outlet and near a window

so I could extract the fumes out that window. I could do all of that before moving stuff. So that when I got the laser cutter there, I put it in the place where it's going to live indefinitely and I don't have to move it again. Yeah. It's just a great feeling. Yeah, that is a good feeling, right? Never have to have to do it again. But you're, you dealing so much,

like I feel like I can almost get rid of I could get rid of so much stuff and it would be fine because so much of what I'm doing is digital cross the board. I don't have, you know, big, I don't have massive 36 inch canvases and Bristol boards or whatever are piling up from

from that and the old way of doing things. Like, I've just got hard drives, and they're just full of content. Same with the shows. Like, I don't have reels of tape. I have hard drives full of stuff. And so, you know, a big move like this for me would actually be not too big of a deal, but you deal in so much physicality. Like, there's no getting around.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I have several things that measure four feet by eight feet that had to be moved. I had a table. My main workbench is awesome. We actually bought it from a, company that was getting rid of it when we moved into the big workspace it is this huge custom-made steel welded frame with an inch and a half thick plywood top it is massive and durable

and i plan on owning this workbench for the rest of my life because it's so good and i got it for such a cheap amount of money yeah but it wouldn't fit down my stairs to get into my basement yeah it just there was no physical way right yeah right so i took an angle grinder i cut three inches off all the feet on it, made it a little shorter, and jammed it into the basement. Did you reinstall? Like, did you screw the feet back in? I could. I could. I actually liked the new height a little better. We're going to try that out for a while. After we got it in the basement, though, I didn't really feel like working on it anymore. Yeah, I feel you. I wouldn't either. Yeah. So another thing I tried really hard to do when we were

moving all this stuff was to put everything in a box before you move it um for a couple of months before we did all of our big moves um we would take i would take like half an hour every day to just fill a box with stuff and label it and make sure it makes sense i try not to make many boxes that are labeled miscellaneous yeah it's good idea uh to be honest though by the end of the move you're going to end up with a couple of miscellaneous boxes. It's not a big deal. By the end of it, you're like, just get a box, whatever's left, throw it in there, it's fine.

Yeah. But we did okay. We did not have very many miscellaneous boxes. All of our boxes are well labeled and they make sense. And again, that makes such a big difference when you're putting stuff in the new location. You can put it in a place that makes sense. And that makes, excuse me, that makes, um, organizing that stuff and setting up the shop later, much less painful.

Yeah, it sounds like the way to do it. You know what? I want to, I don't want to jump over this too fast. This, don't make too many boxes named miscellaneous. I think this applies digitally as well. Like, don't make folders that are just like, older names. Yeah. Just old items

or sort later or whatever. If you can, like my brother used to tell me, touch once, as you always to say. Documents. Yeah. Like touch once and put them away. I'm all about a giant file dump, but man, don't, if you do that, you're not going to look at that stuff for a decade.

And then when you finally do, you're like, do I even, you know, it's going to be just work no matter when you do it. So do it now while you got it. Just do it. And you don't have to have a, and this is a totally different thing, but I manage a lot of files as well. You don't have to have a really impressive, like, folder structure to organize stuff. You should, but you don't have to. So long as you name the folder with the right words and enough of them, you can find it. You know, you can do a search on your computer and you can find those files. But if you label that folder miscellaneous and you search for miscellaneous on your, uh, you know, 20 terabytes of hard drive and

40 miscellaneous folders show up, that's when you're like, oh, I've made a huge mistake. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it'll bite you in the bum and it'll just keep growing. I feel like my dad kind of messed up. At some point or another, he just, he stopped having kind of a handle on it. And it's not like he's a hoarder or anything like that. Like, wasn't that level, but he just had stuff that he was like, well, I'm pretty sure one day I'm going to need this slide projector again or I'm pretty sure one day I'm going to need all this old stuff. And he just didn't. Like, never needed any of it. And so, you know, it was always more work than it needed to be because he was moving things around that he was never going to need

or use or whatever. Yeah. And that's a question I ask myself a lot when we were moving the shop. So we've had, we have this three year window when we were in this large industrial place. And I moved everything into that space, and I moved everything out of that space. And the things I was moving out that I hadn't touched in three years, they got a good look at. They got a good pondering to see if I really needed that thing. I didn't use it for three years. Do I do, do I still really need to use this thing? Am I going to use it again?

And there were several things that did not make the cut. They got thrown away or given away or sold. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. The last thing we did that was super useful is the day or two before we would have a So we would prep stuff and then we'd have one move day where we'd move a few things

and then we'd prep stuff for a week and then we'd have another move day in the next week. We'd go run a truck but the day or two before then we would stack all of the boxes and neat rows near the back door where we would be going to be loading them.

So everything that was going to go in the truck was all set up. I worked at a beer distribution warehouse during college and this is how we set up beer orders for each truck every night. And I was like, boy, that was handy. Why don't we do it again? Yeah.

So, yeah, we got the truck in the morning, open the door, and just loaded it with stuff. And it's so, like, on a move day, to have the truck loaded and moving towards the end goal before lunch is just relieve so much stress, especially if you have to give the truck back later that day. And this is mostly, I shouldn't say mostly, this is entirely you and Brittany, right? Mm-hmm. Doing all this. Yeah. I don't know. Something great about that.

Something endearing that you're, it's not like four hunkies. dudes plus you guys it's just right right just get i would have appreciated having the uh healthy spine of one of those hunky dudes but yeah but we made it work yeah i'm impressed i think i think well done is the is the word i would use there yeah and now we have like everything is moved and like it's we can i can go down there and just pick a corner and start refining it a little bit until it's exactly what i want and we've started doing that our main filming area is getting all setup got a bunch of my bigger power tools hooked up and everything it's starting to come together and it's it's going to turn into a space that's just a real like uh willie wonka's chocolate

factory for makers and uh for me specifically and i'm really excited about it yeah i was gonna say you are the you are both uh willi wonka and the kids that's right yeah try not to get sucked up the chocolate hole that's all i'm saying i live by that rule smart you should uh well well done this is great i'm excited to hear that you're done there we're to that point and uh hopefully this inspires a few of us it inspired me to want to kind of just tighten things up a little i'm not even moving and i just need to do you know some of that brian and i was talking about like i don't know stuff we could get rid of but get rid of it consolidate it or just burn it burn it throw it we threw all of our stuff

all of that old garden the thing is when you rent to space like that furniture because a liability. If we didn't get rid of it by the end of our move-out date, we would have been hosed. We would have had to pay out the nose for a bunch of stuff. It's a liability. There was this moment where we hucked all that furniture in the pit of the transfer station. And this huge front-end loader came in and just obliterated it. We're like, we're free. It was magical. Yeah, that's awesome. Well, congratulations and well done. we will uh well i'm sure we'll hear more about some of this process moving forward but always good to have bill on bill do you have a a little bonus content for us today do i ever

the craftsman my favorite maker puppet um he made a font he made his own custom font and uh he made a video on how to do it and it looks really really cool yeah i'm sure this is something that i will do someday someday i'll need to make a custom font for a prop or something and um i think it's I like fonts and I wish I had the patience it feels like something would take forever maybe I need to watch this and kind of get the feel for it because the concept has always been really intriguing to me that that little I don't know if anyone else saw that that Q&on documentary that was on HBO but one of the main subjects of that the guy who started 8chan and then sold it to those weirdos he that's what he does for fun he just makes fonts all day and so when

you're not following him for, unfortunately I had to kind of unfollow him because all he talks about is the QAnon stuff now. But once in a while, I'd say, hey, look at this new font I'm working on. And he's got all this important information about kerning and letting and keeping all your letters and check and make sure your ex has this on it and like all this cool stuff. And it was really rad. I wish I could do that. I guess I could if I had time. I don't. Yeah, exactly. That's the thing. Yeah. Time is everything, Brian. Time is everything. This is cool. Yeah, very cool. He's doing a lot this on the iPad, so... Very nice.

A lot of the design work. I've been 3D printing it. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Builderan, everybody. You can find all of his goings on and works over at punishprops.com and, of course, the YouTube channel as well. Go give that a follow. Bill, have a fantastic day.

Take it easy. See you next time. Bye now. Okay. Brian, one thing remains. Just one. I don't call him a thing. He's a man.

He's a man with a plan. His name is Stephen. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker joining us fresh out of his Demio demo. Hello. Oh, hello. I hear myself.

That's weird. I'm sorry. Turn, turn your radio, radio down, down. You're got to mute that. Yeah, you're all good. Hey, welcome back. How the heck are you? I'm good.

Yeah? You're doing good. That's good. That's good. That's good to hear. It was a blast Saturday night. Had such a great airplane Demi-O with you guys. It was so fun.

That unbelievable win when we pretty much were thinking, oh, we're done with this level. Like we've lost Stephen. We're about to lose Dunn away. And he still managed to crawl across the finish line at the very last second. I don't know how you did that. The big question is, did Scott buy a quest two?

Oh, we talked about this a little bit. I hovered over that buy button. It's in his cart. Yeah. It's still there. It just hasn't sealed the deal. Like Kim, Kim could potentially go buy some foot cream or something

and accidentally buy a Quest. I've done that before where, right, I've left something in the car, and then Tina ended up buying it because she didn't check to see what was in the card before she had purchased. Yeah. And then you get a bill, you know, like,

whoa, what's the extra $300 for them? Right. But I still, I'm just, I'm holding out hope that, I'm just going to wait until the end of E3 to see if any developer leaks that they're working on Quest 3 Dev kits or anything. And if they are, then I might consider a wait.

If not, it's in the cart. We'll see. Okay. We'll. I just, I hate that this thing's broken. Like, part of me is like, well,

maybe I should send this somewhere and see if it's cheaper just to fix my quest. It might be. It might be. So I don't know. Contact quest, you know, contact Oculus support.

Maybe they'll take care of you. Maybe they will. I know it's more than a year, but still might be 50 bucks to get it repaired versus 300 for a new one. Yeah. I mean, it's entirely possible. So I'm,

and maybe they'll just be like, hold down the A button and the power button and click it twice and then it'll come back up. Because, man, I know with my iPhone, there are times where it won't, the screen won't come on and you have to do this weird key combo to get it to reset. So it may be something like that. It could be that, yeah. I tried what I thought was everything. I followed all the guide that looked at, you know, people on, what do you call it, the freaking YouTube, Reddit, Reddit everywhere. and there were lots of people with problems

and stuff with solutions, but none of them worked for me, so I don't know. I'll keep dinking with it, but yeah, that was really fun. What also is fun is having you on and talking about some stuff going on at major spoilers.com, my favorite website for comic book news and breaking, late breaking stuff

about TV shows coming and movies and all that stuff. For example, speaking of TV, Rick and Morty returning on June 20th, season 5 is it? And Morty coming back on the 20th, I think a lot of people are kind of excited about this. I don't know how you guys feel about Rick and Morty. I enjoy it for what it is. I think there are some people

that don't realize that Rick is the bad guy in the whole thing. The Rick Worshippers out there gross me out because they see what he is as, I don't know, they propped him up as some kind of example of positive. He's mayhem for son of fine.

I don't like that, but I do, I think the show's really creative and funny and this would be season five, right? Yeah, season five. And the trailer for it that I don't know when that dropped a while ago. Maybe it dropped the other day as well. Looks really good. There's going to be some interesting storylines and hopefully we'll get some conclusions

to storylines and hopefully we'll get more than three episodes for the season. But there you go. Yeah. No, that's great. I'm pretty excited about it. They also, they're now in Fortnite or something, so there's some kind of cross-promotion going on. Yeah. Yeah.

Apparently, it looks really good when you see 3D Rick and Morty running around with their a portal gun. Yeah, that's pretty crazy, right? It's weird. It's weird because they actually made it look right. Like, as much as I don't care about Fortnite, I have to give them a little credit for taking a 2D image of Rick and Morty and making them look like they belong in there. Also, Superman, Batman were running around for a while too. Yeah, and Robocop's been in there and you got some, that game's full of weird camey. And there's also a Batman Fortnite comic book series that DC is currently putting out. Yeah, I haven't started it yet. because I'm nervous to.

I don't know why because the Mortal Kombat team that did Injustice one and two, those are amazing runs. Those comic runs are awesome. I love them. They're some of my favorites.

And they're based on a video game, which is normally not my jam at all. I kind of hate that backwards promotion on comics. But I don't know. Fortnite, I don't know if I can do it. Is it any good? Have you heard?

Is it supposed to be okay? I've only read little bits and pieces of it. So I wouldn't, I couldn't be a good, good judge of that. I'm not a Fortnite fan. I watch the kids play and that's about as far as I go. All right. Well, time will

tell. Arcade 1-up announces the Simpsons Arcade Machine and it's expensive. Also, that Turtles and Time won. So I guess they're going all out on the four player beat a box. Yeah, they're really going into the four players leaning heavy into that with the announcement of the Simpsons, which will come out. It goes on pre-order

on July 15th. So we got a ways to go on that. But the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Turtles and time, which is the second arcade one-up TM&T game that they've released is on pre-order right now. Yeah, look for that, 90s

kids. Are you excited out there? It's funny. They've got, they basically just use the same model as their X-Men 4-player game that they've got coming out as well. Why not put all these games on the same? Yeah, licensing, all those same hardware. Well, sure, okay, there's that. I mean,

you know, a couple of years ago, we did talk about how I did get a one-up machine and I just modded it with a Pi-kade, turned it into a pie-cade machine. I'm thinking you could do the same thing with a four-player system and then you could play all the Konami games and all the other four-player

games from your youth on that system too. So there's still some probably some good reasons for people to pick these things up. And why is this so much more? What's the price on this thing? Oh yeah, I was going to say, isn't it like 600 or something? It's some crazy number. No, well, no, no, no. I don't think it would be

600. I think it's probably $5.99, $4.99? $6.99 to $600, Steve. No, no, no. It is less than $600. That's why it's priced at $5.99. Right. We'll save that buck. You're right. It makes a good point. I'm still eye on that Marvel pinball. If it comes back on sale somewhere, I think I might pick that up. Yeah, if they ever got a really good four, somebody in the chat just mentioned, a four-player gauntling machine, I'd be all over that thing. And so I've been, I go on to eBay like on a regular basis and I also go into the Facebook marketplace. And I will just search for gauntlet just waiting for one of the original machines to come up for sale just so I can see what the price is and whether I'm willing to drop that much money.

Well, I have the, I have gauntlet on mine, but it's not four player. But it's a one-up machine with gauntlet on it. It's got gauntlet, brand page, joust, and I bought it for the joust, but got to got to have the four player if you're doing the gauntlet. Yeah, that's a good point. It has two-player, but not four. You're right. Yeah. But Valkyri needs food badly.

I can tell you that. Definitely does. All right. Well, cool. Watch for those. I swear I saw that these were like $600, but I don't know where I saw it. It might be. It depends on the system.

I'm pretty sure like the two-player systems are in the $2.99 range. Yeah, it's like $300. So maybe you bump it up and get another $200 out of that. 600 bucks, though, for the four-player system seems a little expensive. I know I spent around, I want to say $499, $400. for that Marvel pinball machine. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was going to say that thing was not.

I still don't see one in the background of Brian's office. No, no, they are not basically arcade one-up lists. Two places you can get it, Walmart or GameStop, and both places are, it's been unavailable for months. Yeah, I think part of that, and I think it's Big Jim, we'll probably have to talk a little bit more about that. But at one point when they were shipping over all of the pinball machines, the boat had a tip over or something and lost like a bunch of stuff.

And I don't know if they were all the arcade one-up machines, but that delayed it for like three more months than what it was supposed to. And I'm wondering if they're just like, look, we took a big loss on this even with insurance. So they're limiting the number of pinball machines. Because I really don't see a lot of those being advertised in a lot of places. And I don't even know if the attack on Mars or attack from Mars machine has even been released yet. I know the Marvel pinball one has.

I think the Star Wars one has, but the third one has. Star Wars one has, yeah. Yeah. We need to figure out a way to take advantage, major spoilers network and frog pants, how to take advantage of the sudden urge and hunger for collectibles. How can we do this? What do we have, though, people want to collect? Because right now it's a fevered pitch, man.

I've got like 30,000 comic books that we wanted to get rid of. All right, let's do that. Yeah, here we go. We'll throw a comic book in. Let's see, what else? I got an iPad also. iPad Pro, a smaller one. I got some audio podcast equipment that is time to get.

Oh, that we all have audio podcast equipment that we could sell. Yeah. I got a quest that one turn on. That's great. Well, all right. Also, hey, one of my favorite comic series ever is coming back in 2022. That's Fables. Yeah, way back in like 2005, I went to the Santa Yogo Comic Con.

And I sat in on the Fables panel because I was a huge fan of Bill William and had followed his work for years. And I got to ask one of the questions, what if, you? you know, since these guys are supposed to be Fables and they're living into the real world, and since this is all D.C. comics, when is Batman going to have an adventure with the Fables people? And Bill Willingham was just like, get out. Get out of this panel. Well, the answer, of course, is May of 2022 when Fables 151 returns, Mark Buckingham and Bill William are coming back to tell the tale of the ongoing adventures of everybody's favorite, fables characters in the real world. And then in September,

of this year, Batman versus Big Bee will hit the store shelf. Now, Big Bee, Wolf Among Us, right? Is the... Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, he is the Big Bad Wolf. That's why he's Big Bee Wolf. It's just a great time to remind everybody that the single best game that TailTale

put out when they were a company was the Wolf Among Us. It was amazing. Oh, my gosh, it was good. So good. Very adult, though. So watch out for that. This is all Black Label stuff. Definitely some sexy stuff in the first couple of pages of a fable. So if you don't want to see some Prince Charming Wang, then you might

avoid that. Yeah, they're really going hard on these black label stuff, formerly Vertigo titles. And I love it. I love it. I'm so into it. I'm reading the White Knight series thing where the Joker turns into just Jack Napier. Yeah, yeah. It's very good. Like really good stuff. And then I, unfortunately, I read it in reverse. I read the one, uh, the follow up after one first. Yeah, I just, I don't know why I screwed that up, but it's fine. It's still good. I'm still really enjoying it, but just one of those things. But anyway, yeah, man, black label. Hey, hey, Marvel, get off your arse and put your mature content back on the app. You know, I don't think they're going to do that. I honestly don't. I would be very surprised only because Disney owns it and Disney is being very, very careful about what they're putting out as in terms of family content. And if all of a sudden all of this big, big screen MCU stuff filtered down and some kid actually wandered into a comic book store and picked up

a, what is it, Marvel Knights comic book. You'd have a million moms trying to march on Disney about the downfall of America and why we should all be clutching our pearls. You're probably right. Disney is really playing it safe in that area. Yeah, you're probably right. It's really unfortunate because some of the storytelling when I'm not advocating here is just

like pointless swears and violence and or sex or any. I'm not, that's not what I'm interested in. It's just that these labels let these writers tell the stories the way they want to tell them and sometimes it does mean you know elements that might offend

some but they're so they're so good and people are missing out on that stuff and it just bums me out man I just want more of that I want I guess I can get that from image I can get that from you know a million other labels it's just that Marvel's also got some good content they just refuse

to put it up on the thing but anyway whatever what are you going to do that happens I was going to make a comment about that and I forgot what it was. Oh, somehow though, they let that, they've got this 40K run. It just finished actually. It was like a, oh yeah, that, uh, actually there's a, the, what is it, the sisters of whatever is, uh, getting ready to launch either in July or August. So there is another 40K series coming out, but the, uh, what is it, Marius Kilgar series. Yeah, the Kilgar series. Dude, I loved every freaking inch of that book. And it was great. I was so

worried it'd be crappy license, but it wasn't. It was really well done. oh no they did a well job a good job with that it was really good it's so bloody though so gory that i couldn't believe it was just a marvel title i was blown away by that so anyway more of that please more 40k comics i'll keep sub into your damn service if you keep making those uh what else oh sam and twitch the television series now i knew who this was immediately but some people may be less informed this the the two detectives in the spawn universe right that's right that's right The Spawn Universe is getting a big expansion Over to Image Comics. Todd McVarleen is doing a whole bunch of

stuff with Spawn going forward, but he is also working with WIPP, which is the studio behind the mayor of East Town. I don't know if you guys watch that, a really good show. Oh, yeah, totally watched that. Yeah. They are looking at taking the Sam and Twitch characters, which have also started in their own standalone series, turning that into a detective series for, I don't know who yet um since they since whip works with

HBO from air beastown probably something for uh HBO like a HBO limited series or something like that uh animated or live action do we know I don't know that yet um my guess would be that it's going to be live action yeah I'd be all right with that uh yeah Sam and Twitch uh the series this spinoff series comic series was those were always very good

um they were different writers too they were like people that McFarland just handed it off to and they did a good job I It's been ages, though. But that was really a fun, gritty, street-wise cop story thing with a little bit of supernatural thrown in there. And I was all in. I'd be into this. Bring it on. Why not?

More Spawn. I'm fine with it. Remember that old Spawn HBO animated series? That was pretty rad. I remember it. It's the best adaptation of, well, I mean, there have been a lot of adaptations of Spawn, but that one was really good. At the time, it was maybe one of the best comic book adaptations of any kind. And now that's like, you know, we've gotten better.

Before all the D.C. stuff. Yeah, it was so good. Before MCU, before all of that. Oh, yeah, it was dark and cool. 96, 97, 98, somewhere in there. I think I may rewatch that. That's all up on max right now. So I may have to go check that out again.

If my memory serves, there is a, there is a lot of doing it for doing it's sake in that cartoon. But, you know, whatever. I can get past it. It's HBO. Yeah, you have a limited, you know, I'm sorry, you have to have minimum five sex scenes, please before you can come to our show. Thank you. All right. I guess that's it. Steve, anything else going on in your world that we should mention to the fine folks at home? I think if people are looking for some more comic book talk,

certainly head over to major spoilers.com under our podcast section. We've got multiple podcasts that come out each week that talk all about comic books and what's going on, whether it be the Major Spoilers podcast or the Legion Clubhouse all about the Legion of Superheroes or even dueling review where our listeners tell us what comment. we should review, and we review it on the show. Live, Thursday nights on our Discord server. That's awesome. I'm going to now play an old clip

of you just to celebrate before we hang you up, okay? So here's an old clip from 2014 of everyone's favorite major spoilers host, Stephen Schleger, here you go. I kissed her. She tasted like tobacco. All right, there you go. It's a classic. We'll see you later. Wow. If you would have

asked, I would have said that's Dunaway for sure. I know, right? It's a total Dunaway kind of move. He's got also, I have all kinds of clips of Stephen from like way back. I don't know why, but anyway, there you go. Thank you, Stephen very much. Quick note from Monday morning mashups own TMS mashups, Jamie. He wanted to let people know he'll be recouping for about six weeks for his right

arm in a sling or will be in a sling because he's having surgery. It's a good thing, but, you know, it's going to make it hard for him to do stuff. So we're not going to have Monday mashups for a while. We do have a bunch of bonus ones that were kind of spread out and play on the show. but I wanted to mention that A, that was happening, and B, that we wish him nothing but the best and quick recovery on his arm. Absolutely. And heal up and don't worry about us. We got this.

Well, we'll continue to say a bunch of dumb shit you can use later, Jamie, so don't worry. We'll give you plenty of material. Just don't feel like you have to race out and work with it just yet. Exactly right. So anyway, he's going to put maybe a couple more in before his surgery and then off he goes to that. We wish him the best. Today we will celebrate that idea by playing one of the bonuses. This is a TMS origin story about creamy peen.

Creamy peen How do you even How do you even take me anywhere? I can come back from this How do you even take me anywhere? I just don't know how you deal with me. Carmelized onion shepherd pie Mmm, that sounds all right

Yeah Mustard crusted trout Roasted trout, roasted pork, tenderloin and layered sweet potato enchiladas. But really, it's the creamy peen you're going to stay for it. You'll come for the pot pie. You'll stay for the creamy peat. That's right.

Well, there it is. Now you guys know. Now you know. That is one of the best ones ever. One of the best. You kind of lost it that day. That was really funny. I did.

I could not. It was hard to recover from that. I was so caught off guard with the creamy peat. It had been, what, 20? I'm glad it was not must be. mustard-crested peat. No, that actually would have been far worse. Way worse.

It would burn. It would burn. Jamie in the chat, when was that? Do you know when that was? Was that like 20, it feels like it was maybe 2013 or 12? It was a long time ago. Anyway, it's good stuff. Well done.

That is good stuff. And we wish you best, best of times with your surgery. Hopefully it goes fast. And I wonder if you get put out for that or if they just give you a local, you know, and just numb you. I don't know. I don't know. You'd have to tell us.

She had a colonoscopy on Friday, and she was roughly awake for the whole time. She didn't watch it on a little TV. She was still a little loopy, but she didn't, it wasn't like a wake-up. No, not like a roofy knockout. Oh, wow, where have I been for the last three hours or whatever? Weird. I thought they mandatorially put you out cold. Right.

No, and then they tell me, all right, yeah, it's probably going to be about two hours between when we get her into the room, do the procedure and recovery time. So you're free to go back home. I'm like, yeah, it's cool because I live 20 minutes away. Got home, immediately get a text. All right, she's ready. Like, what? It's like you've had her for 20 minutes. How's this possible?

But they got her in right away. She recovered quickly. It was like a really quick procedure. It's like, okay, great. Thank you. I could have stayed in the waiting room. Yeah. I mean, I appreciate when they can give you,

when they know the time is going to take. But if they're just wrong about it, it's not exciting like finding out your Apple product got here three days ahead of what it was supposed to. Right, exactly. It's like, oh, well, that's nice. I'm glad she's done with the process, but that could have been a little bit more convenient for me. No kidding.

I am giving a request that they knocked me the hell out. Oh, yeah. I didn't even know there was an option, so that's crazy. I didn't either, yeah. Okay, yeah, get all knocked out. You don't want to be filling somebody going up your bum hole. By the way, so I got blood work done the other day. Yeah, brusy.

Friday morning. I never get bruisy and I never have any problems. This time, though, bruisey, and the side. of the needle is red and tender and not like infected but like I can tell that it's not 100% right and when I touch it it's a really weird pain like it's not a good pain they check your tea how's your tea is your tea good I don't know yeah they haven't given me results yet but I'll get those in a few days but the but the I'm just annoyed and the thing is about the about the actual procedure she took the blood and was great at it it didn't hurt going in she did two vials

no issues, no hunting around for a vein. It was great. Wow. But then now I got this. Usually it's the hunting around for a vein where you get the bruising. Tina gets that all the time. But you know what? Actually, now that you say that, they didn't have to hunt for her vein.

And she ended up with some bruising too. Did she? See? Who knows what's going on? All right, real quick. I've been fully vaccinated. I just need something metallic. Let's see.

All right. Yeah. I can't find anything. I just want to test it on the air An Avengers Day pin Right here Oh yeah, that'll have metal in it Yep, all right, sticking it to your neck

Oh my God, I'm magnetic for a second Oh, for a whole second I guess she put it here Right, which is of course it's going to be like a major Uh I'm magnetic You are! It's the vaccine!

It's not X-Ax-ed. Won't somebody think of the X-Hid? Oh, wow. We really uncovered it now. All right. People are done. Let's move out of here and be done with the show. I wonder how many people saw us do that and went,

I want to, Scott. I really, really want to. Great. All right. Will B. writes in and it says, hello, Scott and Brian. I'm a first time requester, but a long-time listener. I'd like to request a song of the covermaster's choosing to celebrate the birthday of my lovely wife, Jackie, who turned 36 on around June 13th. Happy birthday to you! Yeah. There we go. Well done. She's the light of my life and the best mother to our son, Henry. I want to send all my love to her on a special day, and I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays as we grow old together. I love you to the moon. And back, P.S., can I get a Bhutanese passball? Oh, it's been so long. Yeah, okay, hold on. Let's see.

Where would I put that? Yep, here it is. Botanese passball. It's like the guy on community. What's his name? Dr. Oh, yes. I can't think his name.

Chang. Chang, Dr. Chang, whatever. Signor Chang. Senior Chang. It's like he did it. Anyway, sorry. Totally, yes. Butanese passport.

All right. Anyway, he says cover master picks. I love it when you guys tell me, go ahead and pick a song because I get a bunch of new stuff that doesn't always go right on to coverville. Doesn't always work to just throw it right to coverville. And I can use it for here for the ending song.

So if you ever stumped for a song, don't worry. You can leave that field blank or just say, Brian, your choice. I hope you like my choice today. We probably get, you know, accused of the least, the genre that we play least on this show for covers is country. There's only a few kinds of country songs I like, but like old country, not such a big fan of new pop country. This one, fortunately, is more the former than the latter, and it's a great cover of a song that isn't a country song. Orville Pack released this single last week.

It is a cover of Lady Gaga's Born This Way. Happy Pride Month, everybody. Here is Orville Peck, born this way. My mama told me when I was young. We were all born superstars. She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on In the glass of her boudoir There's nothing wrong in love in who you are, she said,

Because he made you perfect, babe So hold your head up and you'll go far Listen to me when I say I'm beautiful in my way Because God makes no mistakes I'm on the right Track, baby, I was born this way Don't hide yourself and regret
