Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS. It's Monday, July 26th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Hello. All right.

Great. Let's hike with F. Mary Kill. Let's start playing vamp, tramp, or scamp? Here we go. Amy Adams, vamp, tramp, or scamp. She could be all three, because she's an amazing actress and can pull anything off she wants. Ding! All right, all right. Faruza Bulk, vamp, tramp, or scamp? I don't know who that is. Who is that? That's a lady. I don't know who that is.

She is an actress who, what is her? Charmed, not charmed. What was the one, the three witches, the move? The Coven? The Craft. The Witches of Eastwick. No. The craft. The craft. She was the one that was not the other two. That's the most poomba she's ever been. As I try to remember who the other two were, yes. She's the one that isn't the other two. Well, am I wrong?

All right. We'll do it in podcast terms. She's the one who was not Nev Campbell or Robin Tunney. go. There you go. All right. Robert's, or Devorak. We'll do podcasters. Devorak. Where is he? Oh, he's totally a tramp. Are you kidding me? All right. The Devorac is a tramp. Adam Curry. Absolutely a tramp. He's even got a tramp stamp, I believe. I saw it at the podcast, that first podcast expo. Also, what do they call it? What do they call it? Whale tale? Is that what it's called? I thought I heard that before. Somebody said, because it creates the shape. It's like a

inverted negative shape of a whale tail, I think. I saw a dude wearing one of those at the pool the other day, yesterday. Yeah. What? Really? The whale tail? Get out. Yeah. He was a big burly dude

and was out there swimming and, you know, no judgment. But for whatever reason, he was flossing the back nine, if you know what I'm saying. Wow. All right. Yeah, that was good stuff. Maybe he's just more aerodynamic that way. He was doing it.

laps you know in the lanes so maybe maybe that was the deal we got some swimming in this weekend too some uh oh lovely some swimming yeah it was great we watched the olympic men's uh 300 meter oh so you watch some swimming that's the swimming we got in yeah we got some of that in we also got in some gymnastics this weekend got some of that in yeah look at you guys man you and tina really are just non-stop we're very very uh very impressive is it throwing you at all I've only seen bits of this stuff so far, so I haven't really been glued in on the Olympic stuff. But I'm curious if it annoys you, not annoys you,

but is it weird for you like it is for me to hear everyone say 20-20 Olympics all the time still? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it really is like the Super Bowl when they print up T-shirts and hats and stuff for both winners. Yeah. And then they just bring out the winning ones. It's like that, except. they never did the team that actually won. Yeah, yeah.

They never made t-shirts and ads for the team. Everything is printed up for 2020. It throws me. And I get that because it's probably represents millions and millions of dollars. Oh, it's so expensive. Yeah. So you have to, but, man. And you know what?

Hey, good. I'm glad that they're not feeling the need to throw all that stuff out and reprint and make new stuff because the waste, the expense of all that. I'm hoping that there'll be some 2020 souvenir stuff, 2020 Olympic souvenir stuff when we go out there in January. Do you hear that thing about, oh, there has to be right. There has to be a bunch of it.

I would assume so, yeah. You're going to be inundated with the stuff they couldn't get rid of. That's what's going to happen. It's all going to have 2020 written on it. Yeah, exactly. We can't give this stuff free with any purchase, 2020 Olympic souvenirs. So did you, I was I going to say, I forgot.

Oh, we are liking, the team is huge into the Olympics, so we are, you guys are always all in. I always like that. And I always wish I was more. I'm just, I don't know, maybe it's because it's, you know, there's a little, obviously there's a difference this year. The crowd's not a big deal. They show the stands, and of course, they're mostly empty, except for usually it's like other participants, other players, or maybe a coach or something like that. But I don't, I'm not a big, I don't really care if there's players there. really worried that it is going to turn into oh hey you what variant do you have oh i'll take some

of that i'll take it back to my country what do you have over there in luxembourg oh that sounds good epsilon sure i'll try the epsilon variant yeah nobody wants gamma you all be green and mad um listen the this is hitting close to home because here in our neighborhood just up the road dude who had it real bad last year got it again won't get the vaccine um for some reason And then another guy who works for the government around here, no vaccine. He's currently on, like, heavy oxygen and has been in the terrible shape for like 12 days. They think it's Delta. His whole family's getting it.

Like, guys, just get the damn jab and be done. Like, it's not, it isn't that big a deal. But anyway, so that's going on. It's all, you know, I got this youth thing I do on Tuesdays. and that's two of the kids that come to that are from one of these families. Oh, so they're probably not. Well, are they under 12? Are they under 12?

Well, they're under 12, but if this is Delta variant, that thing doesn't care. It wants you. It wants kids too. I mean, if they're over 12, they could get the vaccine. Oh, yeah, but I think their family is one of these anti-vaccine types. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, yeah. So it's not like these poor kids even have a choice. No, and I really like their kids.

Anyway, the point is I had to cancel that thing because I'm not going to put these other kids at risk. I don't even know if those kids would go, but the point is like, all right, let's let this little... You know that those kids potentially were exposed. Yeah, and we'll let this little neighborhood thing calm down a little before we go right back into teaching how to tie rope, okay? Good Lord. Anyway, it was... If only, you know, we could go back in time and not politicize the vaccine and just make it like a... Yeah, you know, everyone in the world, just get the vaccine.

It's not political. It doesn't, no red, no blue, no nothing, just to get it. Besides, most of the people who are telling you not to that are in political spheres, they've had it. Right, right. Yeah. I mean, I don't like to really talk about him on the show very much, but when Trump gets up at a rally and tells people not to wear a mess and not get vaccinated, note that he's doing it with massive social distancing space between you and the crowd. And he got his in January. Right, exactly.

y'all are dumb is what i'm saying uh all right let's move on to uh this i'm uh i got i getting criticized a bunch and i need to address this it's got to come out finally today it comes out okay finally finally the truth can come out truth can come out so you know brian will recommend something awesome on recommendals like parasite that's a that's the pot example uh Nicole will recommend something cool or or there'll be things i know are cool that are just there waiting for me loki's an example show that is now started finished and done and i still I haven't watched it. But then I'll come on the show and go, yeah, I got mash on in the background again. You know, I'll be that kind of talk. So I just want to clarify a couple of things. I think I've figured out the problem here. Number one, they don't count if they're background noise, because I'm doing other stuff. No, no, exactly.

Yeah. None of these things that are recommended or these comic book shows, can we say, yeah, just put on the background while you do other stuff. You'll get all the nuance and get the great storyline and that sort of thing. Exactly. So for me, it's like, if King of the Hill's on, it's not because I'm going, I'm not laser locked on it. It's just an old comfort food and it's just playing. So there's that.

So pull those out. Forget about those for now. Secondly, yeah, things like Loki, I am behind on. And I do want to dive in. I want to get in there. But I figured out what's happened. In the pandemic in particular, and since, I was already a comic book fan, love comedy. I love comics, love it in my whole life.

But I'm telling you, between Marvel Unlimited, DC Infinite and comicsology and others, it's impossible not to notice how, it's just an embarrassment of riches. If you want to get into comics, there has never been a better freaking time to do it. And as someone who's a lifelong comic reader, for me to just have this access to this stuff has gone to a hundred. Like, I just can't get enough. Every night I read way too late. Last night, reading way too late, as always.

Reading up until, like, 1 a.m. I'm like, what am I doing? Why am I still reading this? I'm so into the medium right now that it's having an effect. Because this is time I would normally be like, all right, let's binge a series. Or whatever my free, quote, unquote, free time at night is, it's being almost entirely consumed by comic book reading.

Well, now something like, Loki you would watch with Kim though, right? Yeah, or even if I didn't though, I would watch it very focused, right? Like I would not want to do anything else, whereas I could actually have King of the Hill on and read a comic. Like the other stuff is just like background noise, but if I want to watch a show like that, we really want to watch it. You just got to focus on it and not have anything else going on. Like I wanted to watch He-Man this weekend. I didn't. Why? Because I read comics all the time.

Like at the pool I read comics. I got in the water, got all the, whatever, got in the shade, and red comics the rest of the after. Really? That's go on your iPad Pro? Yeah. I took my pro. Although, my buddy Darren, a neighbor who I really like, he brought me, as opposed to my anti-vaxing neighbors, but anyway, he brought me a, he brought me an awesome comic book. Rebers we don't talk about. My friend Darren used to be in the Navy and went to, what's the big naval academy back east?

crap anapolis maybe that's it that might be it I can I that that's one that like obviously I know um Air Force Academy has uh uh Colorado Springs here um the Citadel yeah Annapolis okay people are confirming Annapolis is correct okay woo so he went he went to Annapolis is the Citadel in Annapolis is that because that sounds like a fake video game thing is that real the Citadel is um that uh god it's the training facility that that got all its notoriety a few years ago when it allowed women finally after oh was that recent um well recent like 10 years ago 15 years ago took you long enough

je yeah i don't know if the citadel is part of annapolis or if it's um ah yeah well citadel is uh charleston south carolina okay thank you bobby franks oh yeah yeah he would know he would know he lives there um well anyway wherever he went um top of his class kind of guy spent a bunch of years in the uh in the navy one of the one of the cool coolest guys i know but also one of the softest hearted like genuinely like sensitive dudes that i know which is such a great contrast because the stereotype is i navy man

brer never nothing you know he's just like uh gonna be some tough guy tough as nails yeah not this guy just big old sweet he'll cry in a in a star Wars movie, if you give him enough. Anyway, but he's big, he's a big Navy guy, but he's got this soft side to him and I just love him. But anyway, he got, he has some old friend who was in the CIA

who got out of the CIA and now writes comics, and they're super, like, gritty, near future intrigue, spy stuff. Is he doing them independently or for, uh, explosion comics? Hold on. Damn it, I should have that here.

I could tell you the whole title and everything. Yeah. I don't have it. That's right. It's upstairs. But it's basically like, I think it's explosion comics. Anyway, they're a smaller indie label, but still a label. So he's making them for a, you know, a smaller label.

They're smaller than image, but, you know, bigger than nothing, I guess. But anyway, he gave me that for my birthday. And I don't know why I was telling you that. Oh, I did. The point was I read, I was reading a physical comic book as well, is the point at the pool. Oh, cool. All right. So I had an iPad there.

I had that. And I jumped back and forth. It reminds me of God, what was it was a It was part of the trivia group There was somebody, there's a couple other people on the trivia team Who read comics and we're always talking about You know, what we've read recently and

They said something like Do you Somehow the thing came up of where he reads comics And the guy we were talking to reads comics in the bathtub while he's taking a bath so it's like wow don't you worry about them getting wet or steam you know steam curling the pages or anything like that

but yeah you know what any place is a good place is a good place I'll do it on the shitter if I have to I'll do whatever I got to do so yeah you're forgiven here's the thing though thank you don't wait too long before you finish Loki because that's one

that that that feels like a let's go through the whole thing before you know you don't want to have too much time between the last episode you saw and the next episode and the rest of the season that you watch. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah. Well, plus, um, I keep hearing it, there's just tons of like branch out stuff from this that are going to be impacting all of the MCU. For sure. Oh, yeah. The entirety of the MCU is, is, is being impacted by what happens on Loki. I think so. Um, like a bunch of future villains we haven't heard about yet, a bunch of, uh,

yeah, I mean, there's, there's already talked that, I mean, we're going to see, um, a character that we see in this. We're going to see him in the Ant Man and Wasp Quantum Mania movie next year. Oh, right. He's the guy that reminds me a Lando Cal Rizzigan in the screenshot I saw, right?

Is that the guy? He's just kind of chilling. He's got like stuffed draped over there. Yeah, you know what? He's kind of, he's like opulent, uh, smooth and convincing. Yes, he's,

he's opulent Lando. Got it. Opulent Lando. Cool. Cold 45. Kind of, yeah. All right. I'm in.

But yeah, I will be. That's my big priority. If I'm going to watch something in focus, that's the next thing. Yeah, you finish up, finish up Loki and then, and then just sprinkle the things in as he can. But you know what? Nothing at all wrong with reading comics, especially knowing that you're a creator. You're a comic creator. You need, you're not a Marvel miniseries creator.

You're not a sci-fi movie creator. You're a comics creator. You need to be in touch with the industry. I do. I do feel like I need to. It makes me want to make a comic. It makes me want to just consume them all the time. Somebody in the chat mentioned Tom King, who is also ex-CIA.

I wondered if that was who I was talking about. It's not. But Tom King's an amazing writer. His work on DC is incredible. I will say, though, in the great battle of where I'm getting the most impactful writing from, It's happening on the DC app, like a lot. There's some good stuff on Marvel, don't get me wrong, but there's something on the Marvel app where I feel like they're holding back.

I can't quite put my finger on it. There's like a weird Disneyification of it. Like the stuff they push forward, all the forward-facing stuff is very general audience. And it's hard to find the media stories. Immortal Hulk, and there's a few like that that are really, you know, they're darker. Taskmaster Limited Series, by the way, is really good. Oh, yeah, I really recommend that if you have it. It's on my reading list.

I've got to watch. I got to read that. But don't expect that to give you any sort of lead in to Whitewood or just say. Yeah, I hear the movie's a very different take on him. But yeah, like for whatever reason that's true. And then the one I'm kind of bugged with right now is Comicsology's app itself. I feel like it hasn't been updated in 100 years. That thing needs a serious overhaul.

And they, it's easier. It's better to read Comicsology comics in the Kindle app. they run better over there than they do in the in the actual comicsology app even though it's the same account and you're getting it for the same reason it's just better presented i don't know i can't tell what amazon's doing they need to get their poo straight with that i have a feeling i'll bet they move it all to candle that's my that's my take i think that's what they're going to do anyway uh so there's that hey brian um you wrote here the dexter revival which i totally forgot was happening it's like a whole season of like uh hey what happened to deck yeah kind of like a uh let's see what Dexter is doing in Alaska as a lumberjack The trailer The trailer dropped for that And while I was watching that

And I'm interested Of course we watch the series We like most people Were disappointed by the finale And so I'm kind of excited to see The revival They're calling it a revival As opposed to

It's not a reboot Because it's the same character, same storyline sequel would be appropriate here And we had a discussion about what terms to use um it's like a whole new series though like are they going to just keep going or is this like a one-off six episode deal or do we know i don't i don't know i think it's just a limited season okay um i haven't heard that that's i think that's what the uh what the deal is yeah but um but they do have jennifer carpenter back which i'm guessing means that uh you know

She's going to be the, not ghost. Kind of like what the dad was in Six Feet Under for talking Michael C. Hall anyway. Kind of like the... Or the dad in Dexter, right? Oh, the dad in Dexter. That's right. He was there all the time talking to him. Yeah, the guy from Warriors hanging around.

That's right. And Mortal Kombat Annihilation, unfortunately. Yeah, what was the guy's James Remar? James Remar. Remar. Thank you. Yes, Remar is exactly right. My memory is firing today. I don't know what's going on. It's great. Anyway, so it got me thinking what other, let's say you had your choice.

You could revisit a show that had a finale that maybe you were disappointed with or maybe you just wanted more from what television series would you like a six-episode revisit for the finale? six episodes or eight or ten but like a final season one season as opposed to you get a do-over on the finale sort of I mean it doesn't

it doesn't negate the finale that they gave you right right but you get an additional six episodes kind of like to say okay here's a real finale here's a real book end to the show

so my immediate thing goes to lost because I wouldn't I wouldn't mind jumping ahead and seeing what the fricks going on with everybody. I mean, well, except they're not really there, right? Yeah, right, exactly. But could they, but are they, you know, like, be, me, b, b, the final season would be, oh, you know, that whole limbo thing that we're in, it turns out it was just an escape room. Anyway, hey, Jack, hey, Sawyer, good to see y'all.

Yeah, that's a good one. I mean, I don't know, Stargates, but I think Stargate's right for just a whole new series. I don't think they need to finish anything. They just need to do a new series. Yeah. Oh, pushing daisies is a good one. Yeah. Of course, Firefly, everyone.

Yeah. Well, Firefly, yeah. No one. Yeah, we kind of got that with the movie. Would there be more that needs another story that needs to be told? I mean, I love that movie, so I'd take more if you said there was more coming, but I don't, I don't think any of them would do it. I think that's over. But, yeah, the question is, would you want it?

Yeah, I would want it. Right. Right. What else? Lost finale, but Titus Welver plays his Bosch character. So that's how you do it, right? That whole last season of Lost in limbo with the flash forwards was really just Bosch interrogating them and telling them to straighten up and fly right.

Yeah, and the tall dude is also from Lost, the tall black chief of police guy. You already got half the cast over there. Right, exactly. Might as well, yeah. Yeah, somebody get, I don't know. Your mouth is right in checks that your body can't cash. Listen, if we're going to get this good. He's got the coolest voice.

Lance Reddick, man. He's awesome. I always forget his name. So I always have to call him tall black guy, and I don't want to do that. I want to call him Lance Reddick. The grassy reboot? What are you? Canadian taxi cab?

Forget it. Oh, fringe would be good. Fringe would be good. Yeah. I like fringe. Oh, you know what I wouldn't mind is, uh, well that's a whole reboot though i i always think quantum leap is ripe for a proper retelling i think you could do an awesome version of yeah would it be would you rather see a reboot or a see that

would be the thing right you could actually do sam's um like you know the uh sam never made it home or whatever the title the entitle card is but he did make it to yeah he made it to hawaii where he spent the last of his days. No, you could have him, somehow he gets to be the dude who wanders around and tells the new person what to do. He trains a new Leaper. Yeah, and the Leeper's like,

I don't know, go with a lady this time, do you like, I don't know, I can't think it would be good. But, you know, have him walking around with a button or whatever he did. Luke Seidwalker says, I like Quantum Leap. They should do it again with Scott. Back it up. Why back it up?

Why not just back up? Scott Backup. Yeah. Why not? It's been a long road. Moonlighting. A new moonlighting. Sure. Moonlighting would be cool. Blue Thunder Chat says. Believe me, Bruce Willis probably could use some good projects to focus on. Grittier Vegas would be cool. I really enjoyed that. Go way bossy with that. It would be pretty neat. The James Kahn one? Yeah, I like that show. It was just a little too polished. Not the Robert Eurek.

No, although maybe that's the one I want. I don't know. Do I want that? Maybe a new Spencer for hire. Is Robert Juerk still alive? He died. He had cancer, I think. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, Rockford Files. That's a great one, major spoilers. Mm-hmm. Beard-deer-da-da-deer. All right. Good. So we've answered Brian's query. We have.

Yeah, there's some really good, uh, maybe, maybe what Game of Thrones needed is just the, final season extended edition where they fit in all the things that they stripped out to just streamline the final couple seasons. There you go. Nailed it. Oh, I could go on all day about that show. Yeah. How I Met Your Mother? You know we're getting

that one sleepy panda. We're getting the How I Met Your Mother sequel, the How I Met Your Father thing. I don't know who's carrying over from one to the other, but I, Gore. mash but after what could they call it how about mash after yeah that made my whole day dude

that's very funny all right let's where are we let's get into let's get let's keep moving let's bring some Brian Donnelly into this business you know it's like he's like a flower I don't know why I'm saying that let's just get him in it's a you know a Monday without Brian

Dunaway is like a slice of hot apple pie without some cheddar cheese on top. There you go. For some reason he's showing is offline, but that doesn't mean anything. It could be that he's, uh, you know, it's just, uh, I don't know what it means. Let's find out. All right, we're doing it without Dunaway today. Oh, I should still play the stuff. All right. Hey, looky here, everyone. We're going to play a little Baberoyal this morning, and this morning we're not doing it with Dunaway. He's not here. So instead we're doing it with a listener. Who's on the line right now?

Hi, who's this? This is Natalia. Natalia. It's always so Russian. It's like a Russian, or no, you're like an Armenian mobster when you say it that way. Yes. Armenian. I don't even know what Armenian accent would sound like.

It's a lot like Russian. I don't know, actually. I don't be wearing a red track suit with a lot of gold chains. Yeah. It's very Eastern, Eastern block sort of, you know, track suit kind of mobster kind of thing. but it's uh you know stereotypes aside it's very nice having you here and uh it's now it's me or you really it's what this is going to come down to so brian explain how this will work given the circumstances that's right so uh welcome to the morning squirm a back and forth

trivia game where uh scott and tally will match wits on topics that cliff claven would have offered up at the cheers bar um you are going to take turns answering multiple choice trivia questions and if you get it wrong the other player gets a point the player with the most points after five questions wins the prize. Scott, you're going to be playing for James G. from Farmingdale, New York. Talia, you're going to be playing for Talia

of Canada somewhere. In Toronto, Canada, is that right? Montreal. Montreal. That's the cool one. That's the cool place, everybody wants to think. That is really the cool part of Canada. If there's like an Austin of Canada, it's Montreal, I think. That's right. You're going to be playing for a collection of

EA games, Talia. and oh what shut up I'm kidding because she would say well we're not going to say it but yeah we're not going to say what she would say about that all right so Talia

since you're a special guest you're going to go first and science so you should be really good with this one right here in 1929 two Princeton researchers claimed to have turned this pet into a telephone so 1929

Princeton researchers claimed to have turned this pet into a telephone. Is it a turtle, a dog, a rabbit, or a cat? Let's just go with cat. Go with cat? It's a very good choice. You got it right. It's absolutely cat. Yeah, they took a cat

who was alive but unconscious, connected their auditory nerve to a telephone. One would speak into the cat's ear, and then the other one could hear it threw a receiver 50 feet away. And this is actually what eventually led to cochlear implants. Oh, no way. That's cool.

There actually was some, you know, some actual good things that came out of turning a cat into a telephone. So well done. But for a while, they had to wear a cat around their neck and that was. Yeah, exactly. Oh, yeah. And the mobile cat was big.

The end result is amazing, but there's always that process, man. You've got to get from A to B, and sometimes it's nasty and ugly and there's a cat around your neck. Yeah. Exactly. All right. All right.

This one's for you. Sweet, let's do it. What do moths do to prevent bats from locating them? Because, you know, bats are, that's use, or sonar, right? Yeah. Anyway, A, they produce a microscopic web around them. B, they curl up into a tiny ball. C, they secrete an odor that only bats can detect.

Or, D, they vibrate their genitals. Man. Hold on a second. if it can't be this is secrete this is how they avoid getting eaten by bats right how they avoid right how they avoid what they do to prevent bats from locating okay so if it was the smell it had to be a smell that put them off so they wouldn't eat right not attract them um unless they did the smell and then they flew away from where that smell was okay can i get first two again a and b yeah um they produced a microscopic web

around them or they curl up into a tiny ball doesn't make either of those would help so I think it's got to be one of the last two so I'm going to say I'm just going to say the vibrating genitals I don't know

that is absolutely correct yeah they vibrate their genitals yeah it yeah I don't know if that creates some sort of sound distortion field or something that prevents the sonar from working but for whatever reason

or at least you know that's what they say they're doing I'm just doing this. I'm just doing this to keep bats from finding me. It makes sense because it's all sonar and it has to be a sound thing to disrupt sonar. So, yeah, like it would have to be vibrating something to create sound or to disrupt sound. So, okay. I feel good about my deductive reasoning today. I feel, I feel you.

All right. Talia, which of these canned foods is not real? So three of these are real. One of them is not? Is it? Cans. I'm sorry, canned bird's nest drink, canned creamed possum, canned pork brains, or canned rabbit eyes.

Nice. What was that first one? Birds nest drink. Canned bird's nest drink. I'm going to ask for that next time I'm anywhere. Okay, question is it sickened? It probably is. I can't imagine that it's runny bird's nest drink.

Because that would be gross. Is there yogurt in it? Oh, you're already... Burr, burr. This is so gross. Pork brains make sense because people would eat that. Eyes, I don't know, unless you're a witch.

What was the second one? Second one was creamed possum. Which explains why Brian Dunaway is in here today. Yeah, he'd know this one right off the top of his head. Yeah. You know, I'm from the south. I'll believe that. Let's go with the bird nest.

Bird nest. Bird nest drink is incorrect. Scott gets the point. No, canned rabbitize is... I'm trying to think what rabidizes are used for, but... So the drink, can you tell me more about the nest drink? The bird's nest drink? Do you really want me to?

I kind of do. Do you not have any... If you don't have anything... That one now I'm having... Oh, God, no. it's a it's sugar it's made up of sugar bird's nest and water it tastes like a slightly mineraly and even the somewhat floral simple syrup uh there is an odd texture from the bits of rock candy and nest floating around uh why this is where birds poo and like after birds from

the eggs and stuff it's claimed to be a good supplement for growing children from a biological standpoint it contains proteins amino acids and minerals that are essential for healthy development. Yeah. And there you go. I'm going to say we can probably get some of that stuff somewhere else than a nest dream. Boy, are there, uh, yeah, there's like a lot of different, a lot of different manufacturers

of premium birds and nest drink. It's usually made from swallow nests. I mean, I try it on the show for you and me, but I, that's horrendous. That's horrendous. I don't think, I don't know if I could do it. You might not be able to. Yeah. Brian's not big on the liquids with things in it.

No. No. Yeah. Birds poop in that. All right, so, Sky gets the point. This one is Scott's question. Hey, let's go to Japan, where the Olympics are being held. Yasuomi Hiai of Kobe, Japan, took being a peeping Tom to a whole new level.

He was arrested near a women's university where he admitted to regularly doing what, was it? Pretending to be a professor and observing classes. B, hiding in drainage sewers to look up women's skirts. C, drilling holes in walls around campus, or D, dressing up like one of the female students and wandering around the dorms. But that last one's a dastardly one. Yes. I like the pretend to be a professor and like observe people thing, so I'm going to say that. Sure.

Okay. Pretending to be a professor in observing classes is incorrect. I know I forgot to give you the chance to answer the last one, but Talia, do you have a, you? You got the point. Do you have a guess as to which of the other three? I want to go with the sewage. That's exactly right. Yeah.

He was hiding in drainage sewers to look up women's skirt. Oh, that's so awful and basic. I was really hoping he was like, you know, like, oh, I know what I'll do. I'll dress up like a lady and no one will know. Yeah, the Bous and Bous and Bous and Buss and Bodies are processed. There's the show I want to revisit. Bousam Buzzy. Give me a real true finale of Bousin Bousin Bison Bodies.

Can we get, can we get to be smart? Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari all up in it? I'm sure we could get Peter Scalar. I'm sure we can get Peter Scolari. He's not doing anything. Oh, my lord. All right. All right.

So, let's see here. It's tied. Scott and Tully, you each have two points. It all comes down to this one. And it's a painting question, and it's going to Scott. Is it? Oh, no. I thought it was Talley.

Oh, you're right. No, what? Yeah. Wait. Did I get it wrong? Oh, no, I'm sorry. Yeah. This one goes to Talia.

Talia, you get to do this. Oh, good. All right. Which of the following animal hair is not used to make paint brushes? So three of these are used to make paint brushes. One of these is not, is it? Squirrel, mongoose, ox, or camel. For the wind.

I only know one of those. I actually say squirrel. Squirrel, is squirrel, is squirrel correct? I prefer, I don't like mous and squirrel. It is, uh, living up to the Natalia. Uh, it is not squirrel. Skrural hair is used to make paintbrushes. Uh, Scott, mongoose.

Mungoose hair is also used to make paint brushes. Talia, ox and camel are all that's left. I'm going to give you guys another chance to keep out answering this. Why not? I'd say camel, because I think I've seen ox. Camel hair, believe it or not, is not used to make paintbrushes. I thought I've heard of camel hair brushes. I was sure that was it.

I know, I know. That's what's so funny about it. It's, uh, um, I'm looking it up right now, but according to this, this, uh, source. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the camel hair brush is a type of paint brush with soft bristles made from natural hair is usually squirrel. So it's like, they just call it that, but it's not actual camel hair. Yeah, instead of camel hair is not a suitable material, although historically camel was used for ancient Chinese ink brushes. But squirrel and squirrel and ox hair and sable are used.

He hands him the receipt and he goes, ah, ancient Chinese camel brush. Exactly is. All right. Well, that means, okay, here's what I think all this means. It means Talia wins her games. It also means dude I played for gets his stuff in the mail. I think we're doing it all. Let's just give you.

Because Dunaway wasn't here. I kind of won because you changed the rules at the very last second and let us go again. And then Talia won because she picked the right one. But I think in the end, we're all winners. I'm shipping that stuff out to him and she can also get her games. How about that? How about that? Talia, I'll shoot you an email with a few choices of games.

How's that? because I know in the past I've tried to give you stuff that I think you already had. So I'm going to give you a choice of two from any five or any two from the five I send you. She's a hardcore gamer is the problem. And none of them will be EA. Yeah, no EA games.

Unless it's Dragon Age. Yeah, that's true. Dragon Age is a good game. I was going to, you know what? I'm going to, I'll bleep it out in the final show. But do you want to say your EA thing that you always say before I let you go? It's totally up to you. yeah look at that dude oh my lord i'm so glad we got to do that all right well done talia it's

good to see you talk to you and we'll see you soon all right brian i got to mark that so you go fix it yes yeah fix it and post yeah uh and congratulations to james g from farmingdale in new york you're going to get prizes too um and uh we have a player that'll be next week that um that got uh pulled so and this is i'll just email this guy is this the one right oh there's a email I'll just do this later. Yeah. Is that cool? All right.

I'll reach out to him. Let me make a note here to get this guy's ad. Oh, Dunaway, just, uh, boss's boss called him into a closed door meeting right before we called. Oh, no. What is, I hope he's all, I hope it's okay. Yeah. I don't know. Dunaway is getting relocated to Tulsa.

Oh, you've been demoted. Well, I don't know. Maybe it's an upgrade. I don't know. I have no idea. Clearly I've been watching too much friends. Oh, you should have that on the. background that's how that should work I should you know what that's a really good point

because um nothing wrong with that yeah friends I've seen I can easily work with that well I can't do the background thing Scott because while I'm working I have to be listening to music for soundography or coverville right see this is like film sack for me I wish I could sit on a couch and chill and just kind of keep a little notes here and there but I have to do all this extra stuff for it it's the same with you with music you can't it's not like you can do other things you have to listen right exactly yeah when I look at us working so hard for the people. All right. We're going to do some quick news here. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. It's time for the news. And it's brought to you by. Brought to you by the film sack episode that finally

reaches back 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years to the first fast and furious movie. This happened and it got posted. Join Scott, Brian, Brian, and Randy on the latest film sack and get all the episodes as well. FilmSack.com for all the details or wherever you get your podcast. It was a real good time. I enjoyed it. It was. I needed it. Now that I've seen the first one, all the other fast and furiouses make sense. Yeah.

I mean, I think I'm going to go. I don't know what. The problem is I know that we're going to do these one day. That's the problem. I know. It's like there's so many things that I kind of want to watch. Yeah. But it's, but it wonders.

It wonders. I wonder which of those things we're going to be watching for, for film sacks. I got distracted by BioCow saying, how many people distracted by the school girl jumping? up and down behind Brian's frame. Oh, it's that background, that video game background. Which one? Where? Behind me and, no, not behind me, but on the stream you've got those new eight-bit video game backgrounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there is a girl jumping up and down right behind you. Is that

distracting? Here, I can fix that. Watch this. Oh, don't get rid of her. Yeah, she's not there. I've got a different lady. I'll have a new lady now bugging everybody. All right, well. It's usually like people fighting in front of that, isn't there? Well, they're usually like rooting people on or whatever, and that's kind of what this is. It's like a fighting game kind of thing looking deal. It's good stuff. All right. Here's a story that made me laugh so hard I had to share it.

Snoop dogs, Twitch stream. He streams on Twitch. He likes the video games. Snoop Dog does. Snoopy poopie poop dog. That's the guy. He's affectionately referred to. Yeah, he's the one.

Snoop Dog's stream has been muted for a week and his fans can't tell him. He has no idea. He's just streaming muted. Because he's Snoop Dog. Does he not look at you? chat he doesn't uh i don't think his chat well here i'll read you to the thing so here's the thing snoop dogs twitch streams have been somewhat of a fever dream they never

quite come together uh though let's see though i suppose snoop dogs twitch streams or whoops nobody expects the streams of a 49 year old major stoner to be technologically flawless hey now easy on the age isn't not a major stoner though scott i think that's that's the takeaway from that that sentence not the uh 49 year old don't know why they had to throw that in there Anyway, somehow, for some reason, the rapper has managed to completely mute himself and his game audio for the past six days and appears to have no clue that he's done it. All of his six last streams have been dead silent, but he hasn't stopped between 5,000 and 48,000 people tuning in to watch him inaudibly play Madden while he has a few joints.

People have tried to let him know that he's muted, but there's one small problem. I'm your way is the Baltimore Orioles. There's the problem, though. Snoop's Twitch chat is emote only. So you can do that. Baltimore Ravens. I said Orioles. I meant Ravens.

I'm sorry, please continue. Just getting that out of the way before the chat room goes a shit that I did a baseball team instead of football. We don't need any more emails than we already have. No, exactly, exactly. But it's emote only. You can do that in your chat room as the owner of your chat. So, Brian, if you were getting overwhelmed with chatters on Coverville Live or something, you could make your chat room emotes only.

Emote only? I love it. So, this is what's happening. People are trying to tell him what's going on through emojis. Using emotes. And it isn't working. It's failing. I'm sure there's like a bunch of ears and the dude shrugging and a circle with a slash through it. I mean, the other problem is I don't think Twitch allows drug paraphernalia imagery for emotes.

So I don't even think anybody could say like get his attention with some kind of like joint reference maybe i i actually don't know but imagine trying the steward could like call them and say hey snoop uh you uh you've been i've been watching your stream by the way great uh great game yesterday between the uh the uh the houston texans and the uh the tigers yeah well done the lions well done snoop why do i why do i fail every season when i try and play uh uh fantasy football that's Exactly. Who are they? They're the Fort Worth Pistons, right? The Toronto Big Cats.

Yep, the Big Cats. All the Big Cats. Really going to take it far this year. I'm excited about that. That's right. Oh, you know that team name changed? They changed the Cleveland Indians to the Guardians. Oh. You know what? I'd heard, I only heard a little bit about that. Okay, well, that explains it.

I kept seeing Guardians come up in my, you know, Twitch, or not Twitch, Twitter trending topics. Now, here's what's cool about that. I didn't know this. I was for it anyway, because I just think it's time. Let's stop having bad games. So that's cool. Pull that out. But then Guardians didn't know what it was for, but I was like, that's fine.

Cleveland Guardians, sounds fine. Turns out, they've got these, I don't know if you've seen them. I don't have pictures handy, dang it. Someone in the chat will post it. They've got these gigantic Gotham City-looking ass statues in that city that represent the four, Oh, it's a four somethings of transport, four titans of transportation, I think is what they're called? Oh, really? Okay. Really cool, just like big, er, and they're called the guardians.

Oh, I see one of them right there. They're guardians of traffic. Yeah, and they're awesome. On the whole memorial bridge. They're awesome. I'm like, so gothic and cool. So if you, if you live there, I guess this is a big deal. And so everyone in Cleveland's like, yeah, this is great. This means a lot to our city. People outside are like, hey, guardians, that's lame. You're going to trade it in for the guardians of the galaxy it's like shut up everyone shut up how about that

that's kind of cool interesting all right you heard about the new Seattle hockey team no what are they called the crackin for real yep the Seattle Crackin the Seattle Crackin

so we're going to have to listen to like the intros are always going to be release the Crackin and bullshit like that probably it just it just automatic, right? Yeah, I don't like it. Release the Kreckens.

I don't like it. It seems very tailor-made for a sports intro, but maybe that's okay. That's fine. Hey, look, Seattle, you haven't had a basketball team for a long time. It's time for you to get back into something here. They still got the Sonics, or the, not the Sonic, sorry, the Seahawks, right? Or the Hawks or whatever they're called that. The Seahawks, yeah.

And this is a hockey team. Right, right. That's what I'm saying, though. So let's get another major sport in there because they haven't had, they lost the basketball team for years. Yeah, they're gone, long gone, right? Aren't they? I didn't know that. I actually thought the supersonics were still a thing, but that shows you how much I follow. Yeah, 2008.

It's really been that long, and I didn't know that the Seattle Supersonics were not a thing anymore. Yep. Look at that. Look, when you're surrounded by the Avalanche, and you got your nuggets, you know? We understand your cover. You got all,

you got, you got, very narrow focus. Plus, plus I, that's, you know, of all of the,

the major league sports, the, the big four, basketball is the one I watch the least. I'll tune in for a hockey game. I'll tune in for a baseball game. I'll go to a baseball game.

And I'll watch the Broncos. But, yeah, basketball. If I plop down in front of you and said, Brian, we're playing a sports video game. And your choice is football.

soccer, hockey, baseball, basketball. Which do you choose? Ooh, of all of the, like a video game. Yeah. I would probably do football. Because I think of all the games, I remember, playing Madden and there was another one, NFL Blitz?

No, what was the other, the competing one? Oh, the 2K series. Yeah, yeah. Those were awesome. That's before Madden got the strangle holder head on the the thing, yeah. Yeah, I just remember playing a lot of that on the, she's PS2, probably, nothing since then. Yeah, well, let's see.

05 was the last game they could make. I remember that year very specifically because of that. And that would have been, oh, geez, well, 05, we're about to get new console. So it would have been PS2 era. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. I think I had. But, you know, rather than that, let's play Mario Golf.

Let's play Mario Golf. Let's do it. I didn't mention golf, I should have. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, our good pal, Bill DeRan, will be here for a moment, and we're going to talk to him about what's going on in the Maker World. And then major spoilers will be here as well. We'll make sense of some of the nerdier things going on currently.

And more. So hang around for that. Brian, do you have a song, We Can Play, please. I do. We're going to Southern California for a group called the Aquadals. A brand new single that they're releasing called Disappearing Girl. These guys are touring it up. They're going to be performing at Lollapalooza on Sunday, this coming Sunday.

we're gonna play this for him your bat caves open there Bill Bill Durant joining us from Punished Props.com all the way up in the Pacific Northwest home of the brand new Cracken how you feel about your new hockey team the Cracken

I don't really follow hockey, but I do follow pirate stories, so I'm in. You know what I was going to say? I don't follow hockey, but I follow crackens, and I'm in. I can root for a giant sea beast. Sure.

Sure. Why not? Well, you are no sea beast. You are a member of our weekly lineup of guests, and you come on the show and talk about rad stuff happening in the maker world, of which you are a luminary. So what is going on in the maker world, and what did you bring today? Well,

So a couple of weeks ago, I was visiting my hometown, my little town in upstate New York. And we went to the hobby shop that I used to frequent as a kid. Yeah. This place is called Walt's Hobby Shop. Oh, man. Oh. Perfect name. Hers, like, owned by just a dude with a white mustache.

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Now, I've never met Walt. I don't think. Sure. Maybe when I was a kid, he was still around. I don't think Walt is around anymore, but there's this hobby shop in Syracuse, New York, near where I grew up. And when I was visiting my family, well, we just had to go.

Partially because I have five nephews between the ages of three and seven. And everything in the hobby store is fun for a kid in that age. Oh, heck yeah, dude. So we got little RC boats to, there's a pawn. at my parents' place where we can play with these little RC boats. We also got Model Rockets. The model rockets

are a huge hit. The boats were a huge hit. Little RC boats, you got to charge them and everything, but we had a pair of them so kids could drive them around and smack them into each other. It was great. This is a big... I'm sorry, I'm looking at the Google. They have an internal store, Google Maps. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's a big freaking place. Yeah, yeah. So it's a hobby town now. So a hobby town is a big

chain and so it's franchise and everything but um i i've been to a lot of different hobby shops and i realized how spoiled i was with waltz growing up it has everything they even have really dirty floors which makes me think that they got a lot of traffic people really working through there so half of this half of that building is a store the other half has tracks for cars they have a carpet track and a dirt track indoors And outdoors, they have a dirt track that has, like, jumps and stuff that looks wicked cool. So it's not just that it's a place to go to buy stuff, but also it's a place to go and play stuff. They had slot cars, I remember growing up.

People race their slot cars, like, they get really serious about slot cars. Sure. Yeah, slot cars are cool. But they also, it's a place that covers all the fun hobbies. So, all the radio-controlled stuff, you know, boats, planes, cars. Of course, they have quadcopters, all kinds of quadcopters. I mentioned the model rockets, which are so much fun. Did you guys ever do that when you were kids?

Oh, yeah. We bought a set for Tristan. I never did when I was a kid, but we got some for Tristan, and that was a blast. Oh, yeah. No pun intended. Hey. So the model rockets are great. They're cheap.

You got to buy the little engines for them, and they're only a one-time use, so you make sure you stock up on those. You've got to buy the little launch pad, too, with the battery-operated launcher. You got to make sure you have all this stuff, but it's really fun. And kids of all ages appreciate watching rockets go off. Yeah. They also have, of course, like model trains or just model kits, like static model kits, cars, boats, tanks, military stuff. All of that sort of stuff you can find at a hobby shop.

By the way, just a quick little story. When I was young, it was all about Pinewood Derby car stuff. Oh, yeah. Different scouts and everything. And I don't know if I've told that story before, but my dad thought it would be great one year. disqualified us, but he drilled a CO2 cartridge hole in the back of my car, put a CO2 cartridge in there, and then made like a mousetrap-based, I remember a mousetrap glued to a, like a foot-long

ruler kind of contraption that when snapped, it would pin the back of that thing and fire it. So it was like a launching pad for it. And so he knew we weren't going to be able to compete with it, but he thought, all right, When all the real competition's over, we'll see who wants to just have a little, you know, fun race. Yeah. And he ended up breaking half the track and two other cars. It was amazing. It's my favorite.

I still have that car somewhere, and I will treasure it until I die. It's an amazing moment. Yeah, it's really good. Anyway, sorry, continue. Oh, yeah. And they still, like, you can still go buy a Pinewood Carby Derby kit at a hobby store like that. The other thing, though, is, like, they have raw material. All sorts of really good materials and tools specifically for working on small things.

Tiny little pliers, tiny little saws. And if you have a project, not a hobby project, but even a home project, we're working on something very small and you need a tool for it. Check out your hobby store. They also have materials like hobby grade or scale wood. So like balsa wood is pretty common. But you could also get like one eighth inch thick plywood. that's like five ply.

It's a lot. Really high quality plywood for really tiny little things. You can get brass or aluminum tubes in a variety of sizes, specialty shapes of styrene plastic, of course, all kinds of glue. And sometimes you can find small kits for like doing molding and casting as well.

So again, I really just kind of pitch, sell the pitch here that if you have a hobby store in your town and you haven't gone to it, go take a look. Let's go for a cruise what they have. Ours was Hammonds. Hammonds. I think, I don't remember now.

Hammond Hobby, something like that. I think it was a small. I don't think it was like a chain chain. If it was, it was small. But I used to love it because it felt weird in there. It was like Toys R Us and everybody else, they were full of electronics and video games and, you know, stuff that was, you know, breaking, cutting edge stuff.

But you go into this Hammond's place or whatever it was called. And everything was old school. It was trains and cars. Yeah, yeah. And at first, it's a little loft pudding for a kid. He was like, well, this isn't where the cool stuff is. This is where all the old people stuff is. Yeah, it almost feels like a library, right?

Everyone's quiet. Yeah, it's not Hammonds then. Carter's right. What was it called? It was called something else. Ah. Yeah, I do like a nice hobby shop. And I would prefer that over a craft store any day.

I don't like craft stores. I know you can remember the one, the one I used to go to on. Uh, Kippling and Colfax, don't remember, I remember it being, it was something like caboose toys and hobbies, but it was, you know, obviously their big draw was train stuff, but they had tons of models and paint and stuff like that for, um, you know, spaceships and Star Wars toys and monsters and stuff like that. But, uh, now it's a fascinations porn store. Oh, great. Great. Yeah. So there's, there's, there's that. Yeah, different indoor hobbies still, but, uh, they may, they may still have mold making supplies. Yeah. And those rockets didn't have to change much. Anyway, what? Sorry. We had a, it was a train-specific store, about half hour from here. It's no longer there anymore.

But it was a train-specific store, and it was called Plains, Trains and Automobiles, which is amazing. That's great. And I'll tell you what, too. I went in there a couple of times. I'm not into trains, but there are still lots of useful stuff for my hobbies in that train-specific ones. I love trains. I don't even want to do it. I'm not interested in the train part. I like

how they look and everything, but what I like is the massive miniature town village mountain whatever sets. That stuff blows my freaking mind. Minatures are great. Yeah. So cool. There's a total aside, but there's a

website, I can't remember the specific thing, but it's a website that just makes lighting kits for things like that. So you can buy a lighting kit for a welding shop in your train village and you put this kit inside a little garage and it makes sparky

lights like someone's in there with a mig welder. It's great. Another example, like go to this hobby website for trains but you'll find lighting kits that would be really useful for like your cosplay project. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Now there's like

Hobby Town USA is a huge chain so you may find one of those in your town. They're kind of everywhere. We have several around us. but if you can find an independent local hobby shop near you like seriously go in there check it out and meet the people that run the place chat with them uh we have a model shop near me a model shop not an rc shop not a hobby shop they're specifically models it's called skyway model and they specialize in plastic model kits yeah oh that's cool you go in there the walls are lined with boxes for like um military craft uh planes cars i'm sure tons of yeah

And they have all the specialty paints and specialty tools for working on those kits. I go in there to get specialty paints. They have some like all-clad lacquers. They have a bunch of them that are hard to find. But it's a model shop. And it's amazing that it still exists. Yeah. Feels like those things are not around as much.

My uncle would just go nuts for that place. He just finished or he's just finishing up a model that is a, it's called the visible human, I think. um and it's a uh a model where there's a transparent so it's a human body the outside the skin is transparent you paint little veins and stuff on it but then the inside is all these removable lungs and heart and kidneys and and all of which he he had to paint and um look for uh like there's a skeleton inside that's holding all of it in and it just looks amazing he's done such an incredible job on this thing. So you'd have to paint, he had to paint every little organ that are in that's in the, yeah, every gallbladder, uh, the, uh, you know, the pituitary gland, like all these

things that's how to get painted, the brain and the eyes. That's very cool. Yeah, that is really cool. So yeah, if you have a hobby shop in your town, go check it out. If you're anywhere near Syracuse, New York, definitely go to Waltz. And if you meet Waltz, I guess tell him I said hi. Yeah, because, uh, because you've never really quite met the man behind the legend. Uh, no. Right. Awesome. Well, this is great. And it got me in the mood to look at miniatures.

Hey, you always come geared with just one little extra link to share with us. What do you got? Absolutely. So this is a newer YouTube channel that I just recently stumbled on. The maker's name, her name is Zyla, X-Y-L-A. And she made a clear fiberglass kayak. Oh, wow. It's bananas.

Oh, my gosh. That's crazy. She basically pulled the form of a kayak. off of an existing kayak in fiberglass but the whole thing is clear and she ended up adding lights to it and it looks incredible this looks like something we'd see at the Japanese Olympics yeah sure yeah so the idea I mean did she actually take this like out and like oh yeah oh man look at that that's so cool we can do kayaks here at our lake I would kill for that thing look at her she looks like a she's a one woman party yeah having to know that's awesome she brings the party with her it's pretty amazing that's wow it's so cool yeah very very cool all right uh bill's always great stuff and uh we will look forward to seeing you next week have a great one all right see you guys bye now oh punish props dot com everybody forgot to say it all right there's uh Stephen

Stephen Stephen that's who that's who's coming up and uh to do that I got to add him okay here we go he's on his way, bring him in. Okay, all right. I need to hit play on his deal. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schlecker joins us for major spoilers.com. Hayes, Kansas is the place, and the man is on the phone. Hello, Stephen.

Oh, I don't hear him. Hasn't answered yet. Oh, we're still ringing him. All right, rings of ringage. Look at me getting way ahead of myself. He's usually such a quick picker-upper that I don't even... Yeah, he is the quicker picker-picker-up. Yeah, of all the picker-uppers, he's the quickest.

All right, we're going to call him again and see if that works. Who knows? Maybe everybody got emergency meeting calls today. I don't know. I've got to ask him this question. I've got a Constantine question. It's been bugging me. Oh, really?

Okay. Yeah, and I know he's somewhat of a fan or a knowledgeable Constantine person, but, you know, you never know. Oh, there he is. Stephen, hello. Sorry, my mouse died and I couldn't. Oh, man, wireless mice. They're a double-edged sword, right? right and it would be nice if the you know these stupid mac would just have a convenient plug-in yeah yes yes on the front instead of on the bottom exactly it's really bad design it's terrible sorry sorry sorry to no no worries it's all important show here no worries it's all good hey i got a constantine question before we get into constantine constantine or however you say it yeah i know is it constantine how do you say it goes back and forth you know a movie says it one way the comic books i think it was under what garthine has had it

It's like Constantine or Constantine like canteen kind of thing. Well, that might answer my question. However you want to do it is fine. Totally fine. What is your question? Well, here's my question. If you may have just answered it, maybe. I don't know, because you mentioned Garth Ennis.

Is his Constantine-tine run the place to go? Who does the best Constantine is what I'm asking? Probably, probably, yes. Okay, because it feels like his, that feels like his backyard to me. Right. But also. Yeah, you definitely want to read, and I'm pretty sure it's the Garthennis one. where he's got the he's got the cancer and he makes a deal with the devil to get rid of his cancer

it's a pretty good run but it's like hey you know constantine or constantine smoke cigarettes non-stop certainly that guy has to have some consequences with that yeah there is one where where he gets cancer and lung cancer and has to make a deal with the devil that's dangerous habits I think is the series right yeah yeah um 94 okay that's good to know because I've been struggling to find I don't want to start in the wrong place he's all over the place I mean obviously he does a lot of crossover and stuff

but I'm intrigued by that character and the black label stuff I read was great he did a little crossover with Batman there that was real good so this is good advice I will check out the dangerous habits yeah Garth Dennis all right and the Hellblazer name

like it was always John Constantine Hellblazer right Yeah. Hillblazer wasn't a separate run. It was like, it was always him. Okay. All right. He's the Hellblazer is the point.

Right. Okay. Sorry. I'm just kind of cozying up to this character right now and I'm trying to get on my crap straight. All right. Hey, let's get to it here. You got a few things. Star Trek.

Sure. The TNG medical set replica is really pretty. I don't know how you guys feel about set replicas, but I know I know Daryl makes some really cool phasers. yeah he's been making a lot of those from the original series yeah uh the factory entertainment has announced a series of the next generation medical gear so if you're looking for the little scanners and the little vials and the little gigas that they have and you have 400 just lying around yeah oh you buy the whole pack you can pre-order these now and hope that they

will arrive sometime in by June of 2022 oh yeah there's the set okay so okay I thought it was I thought you had to piecemeal it. I didn't realize you can get the whole no, you can get the whole set. I'll bet Daryl's stoked about this because he loves this stuff, but I'll bet he's also slightly annoyed that I think he's made a bunch of these. Well, maybe that isn't annoying. Maybe you're better off making your own. I don't know. Doesn't he do

mostly original series stuff and not next generation? Oh yeah, he's way more, way more OG. This is next generation. Although you look at some of the next generation stuff here. And I'm pretty sure someone who was on just before me with a lathe and a little

bit of aluminum could probably make a lot of this stuff fairly yeah that my guess so when you're describing as the set i was thinking oh they're like making a miniature of the the set the medical uh the med bay on uh t and j oh i'm looking at the photos it's just it's just a set of the devices that they use spray the you were thinking like uh oh here's a bone like the like the Seinfeld uh set that you can buy yeah which which i actually have the Seinfeld set. Do you? Do you? Yeah. I want the Seinfeld set.

It's actually kind of cool, yeah. I'm going to use it. So as I'm taking photos of the minis, the Marvel United minis, I'm putting it in the Seinfeld set. That's awesome. I got a question for you, Brian. Did you go all in on the Marvel United stuff? Or did you just get the base set? Okay. Nope. I'm going on both, on the original and on the X-Men. I'm not going to promise anything, but I may send you something that may get your collection into a

manageable sign. Oh, really? Like a compactor or something? Yeah, compactor. No, I laser cut a box that will hold all of the cards, all of the locations, all of the villain cards, plus the Thanos gold hand. And that'll all fit in one box. And then you go online and you can get a, I forget the company's name. Yeah, I've got a little phone, right, the home divider thing, elder, and that'll hold, and that'll hold, and that'll hold.

all of the figures. And so you can get everything from, you know, seven boxes or however many it is down to one box. Get out. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Look at you with your organizational skills. You're a man, Stephen. Yeah, he is.

Yeah, I just did the prototype last weekend, and I'm pretty happy with it. Very nice. Well, it'll be good up until the X-Men stuff gets really. Well, and so then you get a second box. Just get a second box. Exactly, yeah, a piece of cake. All right, tell me about Marvel to explore the origins of King. I guess we're getting a Kang the Conqueror number one in August.

All Kang the Conqueror series just in time for what if and the, oh, I can't spoil the certain show. Yeah, a Kang the Conqueror number one goes back and looks at all the various Cangs through all the various histories coming out in August of 2021, August 18th, so people can mark their calendars ahead of time. What's the skinny on Kang? Like, for those who don't know, not familiar with it. Everyone is Kang the Conqueror. Okay. He's been. Time trouble that's pooped into every timeline.

and yeah he's been a pharaoh he's been a villain he's been the great great great great grandson of uh of uh of uh reed Richards okay um he's been everything young Avengers there's a it's almost like there are variations of Kang throughout the multiverse and sometimes it can lead to madness what does he do what does he conquer is just conquers everything he wants to conquer all he wants to be the ruler he wants he wants it all just like Every villain does, Scott. Every villain just wants it all and needs it all. I feel like you're describing... Everybody wants to rule the world.

I feel like you're describing phase four villain. Are you doing that? I shall say nothing. Okay. I know nothing. Okay. That's totally fine. Seems like...

Although I would mention, and I don't know, Brian, how you feel about novelty groups, but Ucla the Mock is a great filk group. Rand Balava, I believe is how you say his last name. He's a member of Ucla of the Mock. one of the founders. He's a friend of major spoilers does a bunch of writing over there. They have a great song that I would suggest you guys check out called Kang the Conqueror

that just says that everyone is Kang the Conqueror. No matter what you think if you have a question, who is Kang the Conquer? We're all Kang the Conquer. That's awesome. I'll look that up. Did they do that? How recently did they make that song? This was an old album. This is, I think, from their super, I can't remember if it's their super secret

album or their Super Villains album that it's from, but I would definitely check it down. It's up on YouTube. Just do a search for it. And it's a great song. In fact, I would, I would highly recommend that you guys maybe feature some of their music in the future on it.

We have played Euclidamak on the show before. So we'll play more of them. Yeah, we'll do more of them? So, do you hear about, I guess, the Dragon Queen Lady from Game of Thrones is confirmed for secret invasion,

but we don't know much else about that? Oh, Emily. Amelia Clark. That's her name. Amelia Clark, yeah. Yeah. She won't say,

she won't say what? and she's like super tight-lipped about it because she's afraid of the lawyers and all that. But I didn't know there was a secret invasion series. How did I miss that in my radar? Yeah. Oh, my, there's so many. So, I mean, we've got Hawkeye, She-Hulk. What-if is next, what-if?

What-if is next month? I think the next month is just what-if and whatever. We've got Shang-she coming in September. Right. What's after what-if? Is there anything before the end of the year? That would be, yes, that would be the Hawkeye series. Okay. That one's coming out in December, I want to say.

And I didn't know. This is the other thing. November it is. I was looking to see a magazine and I see a picture of Jeremy Renner and then I see a picture of True Grit Girl. I didn't know she was. At least Stenfield, yeah. I didn't know she was going to be what's her name, Bishop? I didn't know that. Yeah. I love her.

I really love her. She's amazing. I'm really hoping that they do that series right. Although again, you kind of have to see the Black Widow movie to kind of wonder if they're going to be tweaking that Hawkeye comic book series a little bit. to incorporate some of the things from Black Widow. Yeah, Cyborg dude in the chat says,

Great if they are, I'm hoping for that. Cyborg dude says, will Scott watch any of these on time? That's a great question. Probably not. Never. Probably not. Scott will never watch them. Are we setting things up for maybe a Young Avengers?

I don't know about Young Avengers, but almost like a Dark Avengers or... Yeah, for sure. I'm liking the Dark Avengers idea, because I was thinking that as well. And we, you know, but it feels like with, Wanda's, kids, Wiccan, and then the Quicksilver one, we've got potential for an Ironland. Maybe a young Thor, I don't know.

We got Ms. Marvel coming, right? So they could definitely be done. Yes, Squirrel Girl coming. Yep. Could we pour one out for a dude that played the fast guy on Wanda Vision? Can I think of the name all the time? Quicksilver. Oh, Quicksilver.

Yeah. But the one from the, from, I can't think his name. From the, which is his name, Ralph or whatever is it, Ralph was his name Ralph in the show. That dude on Mayor of East Town, he was so good on Mary of East Town. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, he was good on that. Yeah, I didn't expect that. That was awesome.

He needs to just keep making rad stuff. That guy's great. Yeah, and the weird thing is, it's like. Five of the seasons of American Horror Story feature that guy. Yeah. Oh, he's been around for a long time. Yeah. He's an interesting face.

And one of the best things about the X-Men. series, the more recent X-Men series of movies are the quick silver moments. Yeah, I would argue maybe one of the only good things about this. Maybe it's a good argument. When he first runs around all slow-mo, taking cigarettes out of people's mouths and all that,

amazing. Time in a bottle by bread playing. That was amazing. Amazing. It's the best Fox ever did. Nice job, Fox. All right. Also, Todd McFarland's taking on Disney. What? I know you are a fan of Todd McFarlane and his toy is Scott. So there's a game coming out.

I think it's a mobile game coming out next month called Disney Might Mirrorverse. I don't know what it's about, but you'll get to play a bunch of Disney characters like a Bell from Beauty and the Beast and Buzz Lightyear and Jack Sparrow and Mickey and goofy and a bunch of others. And so they've, instead of going with some other company, they've contracted with the McFarling toys to make some seven inch and five. five-inch figures from the game. And one of the nice things about McFarland Toys is they're super articulated. So like Buzz Light Year, I think, has like 22 points of articulation. Jack Sparrow has about the same. And then even in the five-inch figures, they've got superposability.

And so let me shoot you a link, Scott, because this is the one that has the, I'll put it in the, in the chat. That one has all the pictures that we have right now. I was going to say. Do we know yet? Of the figures. Yeah. And they look pretty, they look pretty sweet.

So I know that, you know, the original Buzz Lightyear figure that you could buy after, after Toy Story came out and again on one of the re-releases is fairly flexible, but this one looks even more opposable than before. So I'm kind of looking forward to these. They are probably going to be a little expensive, $12.99 for the five-inch figures, which, you know, considering that most five to six-inch figures,

these days are, you know, $12 to $19. I think these work pretty well. The seven-inch figures are $20. And, man, if you want to get some, get your pose on, these are the figures to get. You know, let me know when the Stitch one arrives, and I'll be first aligned by it. Yeah, it would be interesting.

These are the, this is the first wave. So depending, I guess, on how well it does in the stores or through the collectible market, because I really, I mean, there's a lot of McFarland stuff that you can get at Target and a Walmart, but I think most of this stuff really you pick up through the collectible market. You know what's happening here? It's all look really cool. Yeah, they look good, but you know what's happening here?

This is him getting a paycheck from Marvel again for the first time in a long time. Oh, yeah, right. Indirectly. It's indirect, but still, you know. No, the Jack Sparrow one looks really cool, the Monsters Inc, but that bottom left one's a little goofy. Oh. Boo.

Delete your account. Oh, I see what, yeah. Yeah, destroy your account. Shame, Brian. G, G, G, uninstall, uninstall. I was just thinking about him the other day because he made that awesome. Shame. Shame.

He made that really cool Batman's Spawn crossover comic I used to love. Yeah, that one was good. That one was interesting because I don't remember if there were two separate series or if it was just that one shot, where Batman throws the batarang and split Spawn's face. Yes. And so then when you get into the Spawn comics, Spawn had to get, like, so his face up like a football helmet with some shoe strings.

And they were trying to say, no, this was totally incontinuity. The Batman thing happened. And then they kind of backed out of that, like a year later. And it was like, no, there's another event that caused him to get his face. Which really bummed me out. Because I thought that was creative and fun and a great way to sort of just show the mark and, you know, whatever. Whatever. To me, that is exactly what it is.

And they know it. So they can beat me. All right. Well, this has been great. stuff like this can be found in great quantities over at major spoilers.com, where people should go ahead and hang out and have fun. Is there anything going on in your network or on the site that you'd like to tell people about? Oh, man, I am prepping the previews for all of the comics that are coming out this week, and there's a lot. There's more stuff than you can read, Scott.

Like, what are you doing over there, Jeff Bezos? I know he's seen a penis. A thin layer of cloth and maybe some mesh between you and other people's bits. Yeah, that's exactly right. I caught a three-quarter view of his man-weener. And I don't like that I saw it. You couldn't tell if he. He was circumcised or not, but you were certainly able to see the connection to the waist.

Yeah, we saw the, we saw the President Taft, if you know what I'm saying. There you go. Oh, my God, that looks infected. It kind of does. Ooh, is that pus? Would you like some sausage to help you over is the last part of the race? You may have seen us stuck in the road before when you could not pass. I know we are in France, but these are German sausages.

She's got that new, there's a new show, uh, jolt, I think, with her that I, that I might be watching this week.

Can't remember the name. Oh, yeah, here you go.
