Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, August 2nd, 2021.
Starting point is 00:01:43 You know what that means? Happy birthday to you. It's Brian's birthday. Oh, thank you. Everybody bow down to the king of birthdays. The Lord of birthdays. Lord of celebrations. How do you feel doing a show on your birthday?
Starting point is 00:02:00 should be relaxing and not doing this. Totally fine. Yeah, I should be. I went out to to get my free Denny's breakfast this morning, by the way. Did you really? I did. You know, it's one of the, uh, I do this is the most Brian ass thing I've ever heard of my life. It totally is. Are you kidding me? A free breakfast? Do I look like I turn down free food? I love that though. I love it because it's not the food. It's Denny's, right? Big deal. Yeah. It's this thing. It's almost their slogan. It's not food. it's Denny's. It's like this kitsy, cool thing.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Yeah. Of course, Brian does this. I should have known you were going to do this. This is amazing. All right, anyway, continue on. So while I'm there, so Tina now leaves early for work on Mondays and Tuesday. She's gone back to work in an office for half of the week, and then the second half of the week she works from home. Sure.
Starting point is 00:02:49 And, uh, but she has to be there at 7 a.m. So like, I'm already at Denny's you know, having breakfast when she gets up and is off to work. And I get this call. Hi. Um, So, we might need to call my dad, because the refrigerator, and it's like she's driving, and she can't pay attention to what she's saying and driving at the same time. The refrigerator is dark, and all of the stuff on that side of the kitchen is dark,
Starting point is 00:03:19 and I went and looked at the fuse box, and there are no breakers switched, no breakers broken. What do you say with breakers switch? breaker oh yeah that's right i need to do this in that why am i not doing this in the teen of life yeah why i'm here Brian yeah that whole thing you need to call my dad because nothing in the kitchen is working tripped thank you yes no breakers are tripped so i'm like oh this is not what i needed i've already got the sprinkler guy coming to fix a broken valve in our sprinkler system so we got a same same deal is last time or a different sprinkler? Different, different deal.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Instead of it being a break in one of the lines that is just, you know, filling the ground, filling the earth with water, putting out the core of the earth with our sprinkler water. Sure. This is the sprinkler that is not turning off. So our, we use a rochio system, a crotio. Croccio, yeah, the crotio. Crotio, you know, the crotio. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Which turns on and off the sprinkler is an adjust for, like, it knows when you've got rain. and so it turns off like it doesn't run your sprinklers that day. It's awesome. Really cool system. Sounds cool. Love the smart home. But the zone two wasn't turning off. And I was checking, like, I'd go over there and the, the, Rachio was switching it.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I could see, like, the solenoid rotating slightly to, so the Rachio was doing its part, but it just wasn't turning off. So Ken came here. can i'm can i'm here to fix your sprinkler this is the old guy from last time the same old guy from last time oh i like this guy the nicest guy but he even admits himself that he's not a social person um and uh uh he's well you he shows me this like little rubber duchy and this shows me there's a hole in it yeah you've got a bad diaphragm and uh they don't even i don't even know what company you're the people who put this in because even where you get a replacement.
Starting point is 00:05:27 So I'm just going to replace it with a rain bird. I'm like, oh, totally fine. Yeah, put in a rainbird. So EOR came and did you're. EOR, exactly. It's EOR. So anyway, so on top of already known the sprinkler guys coming to fix something, now one side of the kitchen isn't turning on.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Uh-oh. So I get home and immediately make a B-line for the fuse box. Open the fuse box. Well, there's clearly a breaker that's tripped. It's this one right here. click click everything comes on in the kitchen so I got to do the call with Tina like what's the matter
Starting point is 00:05:59 with you yeah why didn't you see the switch what's going on what she said why you screw up my birthday with this bullshit what's the deal I had a rough morning Brian I couldn't see it because I hadn't had my coffee yet I know she listens and Tina yes
Starting point is 00:06:18 his impression of you I know is not even close to accurate but man I love it I love it so much zero percent accurate yeah it's really good though um well all right so so that's done uh sprinkler guy went in and prepaid he i said you know i'm about to i'm not about to explain to him the whole cms thing so i said i'm about to get in a zoom call that's easily going to last an hour and a half can i go ahead and prepay you for your work yeah that's fine sure it's going to be this amount like cold baby r rip because some people still apparently use checks she has a check book uh it happens it happens sure it happens so that's all prepaid so there we go oh good you know
Starting point is 00:06:59 they won't have to deal with uh grandpa lonely pants again it'll be fine right exactly exactly uh real quick here uh we i want to give some love to uh because it's your birthday and mine was last month just not too long ago so now we're back to equal we're back to parity that's right exactly as of today we're uh the the universe is aligned we're back to the parallel uneven bars that's right always bothers me and i'll talk about that some other time oh yeah that always that bugs me too But anyway. Even bars are still parallel, folks. That's right.
Starting point is 00:07:26 100% correct. So both of us are wearing the same shirt. This was sent to us by Leslie Victorine. Yes. Leslie Logan's mom, as she sometimes is called. And she sent these awesome shirts. Mine was belated. Yours was early.
Starting point is 00:07:42 And together, we both, like the Wonder Twins, put our fists together and made a shirt day. So we're wearing them today. That's right. Inspired by the great Scotty Young, its little children. version of a bunch of Marvel superheroes and villains. And they're all listening to the great Stan Lee,
Starting point is 00:08:01 sit on his chair and regale them with stories. Yep. He's got a book that just says Marvel on it. And that's it. So, there's that. Let me read to you, Marvel by Stan Lee. Excelsior. And that's it. Excelsior. And shut the book and go to bed.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Published in 1994 by the Hewton Mifflin Company of Akron, Ohio. My favorite part of this is twofold. One, I don't trust Doc Ock. He looks like he's trouble. And B, the thing is goofing around, man. Sit up, kid.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Sit up. Look at him. Just lay in there. Yeah. What the hell? Freaking the thing. Anyway. Galactus, who is still way too small.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Oh, yeah. Where's Galact? Oh, yeah. No, that's not big enough. Yeah. That's a little baby Galactus. Yeah, where's the time? Yeah, where's the time of...
Starting point is 00:08:51 We don't know a lot about the early. The Empire State Building, but... Who knows. But anyway, it's very nice. Leslie, I just wanted to say thank you. That was very sweet of you to think of us. Very cool. This is the nicest thing that somebody has sent us today.
Starting point is 00:09:05 And in a minute, we'll get to the not-the-n nicest thing that somebody has sent us. Damn straight. So, okay, I wanted to recommend something. Oh, did I not bring it down here? Damn it. I didn't. Okay, well, you all have the Internet. You can look it up.
Starting point is 00:09:18 I decided to do a purchase for review for my video game shows. because a lot of people have been saying, hey, Scott, I don't know why you haven't got one of these. They're amazing. It's that you've probably been advertised. I'll bet when you've been on different social media apps that you have had this advertised to you. But anyway, it's called the backbone.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Have you seen this thing? So I'll tell you what it does. Oh, good. Sounds familiar. You connect your phone. So it's a controller for your phone. Okay. Like game controller.
Starting point is 00:09:48 And the way it works is it's super sturdy. This is the one thing I love about it, and I wish I had it in front of me. but you stretch it out and your phone actually plugs in lightning cable, or if you've got the Android version, your USBC, sometimes USB micro, whatever is. You stick it in there, so the thing doesn't need power. It just uses your phone, and it also isn't wireless because it's plugged directly in your phone so you don't have any wireless latency on the controller.
Starting point is 00:10:11 And it basically looks like a big, wide kind of wakadoo switch, sort of. Right, and it pulls, right, and it stretches so that it fits so that it can accommodate whatever phone you've got and all that. Yeah. And I was, I have to admit, as skeptical, but I'm blown away by it. I'm blown away by this thing. I can't believe I haven't mess with this before. So here's the cool thing. It's got its own like app that comes up when you hit a little orange button on the controller. It's like pops it up and it looks like its own little like app store interface type thing. But really all it is is saying here are the most popular games that people are playing on their backbone. Here are just games in general. Here are the ones on your phone already. Here's all. Here's all. the Apple Arcade lineups. Here is stuff you can play on Stadia, Microsoft XCloud, Nvidia now, or G-Force Now, like all these cloud-based services are on there as well. And my gosh, it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:11:06 It's freaking. Dude, I can't believe how much I like it. I was shocked by this thing. I think I'm picking one of these up, just looking at it. This looks so cool. It's really rad. All right. So how do you have a thing that you can choose a different, obviously,
Starting point is 00:11:20 basically Android versus iPhone, does it come with different tips so like you can put the lightning port or the... No, it is the one you want to get is you just want to get the straight-up iOS. I was the one you want, okay. Because I was wondering if you could do this with a, as goofy as it sounds, with an iPad Pro, if it can stretch around the iPad Pro and it has a USBC connector. Definitely not that long. All right, because I'm really looking at something for Marvel Future Revolution when that finally
Starting point is 00:11:49 comes out. This thing maxes out at about a little wider than the biggest pro. Okay. So that you've got some slack there, but that's as far as that'll go. Does it work with your case? Like, do you have to take it out of your case? Oh, I do have to take it off my case. It's the only thing I don't like about it.
Starting point is 00:12:05 I forgot to mention that. But it's that or some wireless clip-on version, which I'm not a big fan of, plus you have two things to charge and all of that. It also has a, at the bottom of the grip, there's a hole for lightning in so you can charge while it's in it if you want. Cool. Pass through charging or, oh, and there's also a 3.5 millimeter like headphone jack that will also work. Or you can just wireless your earbuds or whatever. I played the last campfire for hours last night. This is the game by Hello Games.
Starting point is 00:12:41 It's on Apple Arcade, but it's also on Switch and PC and consoles and everything else. So it's not like a, you know, this isn't an exclusive thing. But that version, With this controller, it's so good. I got completely lost in this thing. Just completely absorbed in it. And I'm not used to doing that with a handheld. And part of it was headphones in.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Surround sound, beautiful, this and that, amazing music. That game's already enchanting as hell. But anything that uses a controller as a preferred method of input, this thing is the bomb. Now, I know some people have said, hey, Scott, what about the razor crap? I forgot the name of the razor one. Razor makes. The razor crap. The razor crap.
Starting point is 00:13:23 It has apparently like big, like the sticks on it are like Uber, industrial. So they're super, like can take a lot of beating or whatever. But the rest of it's a little crickety and plasticy. I haven't tried one, but that's what I've been hearing from people. So I think this is the one to get. It's a little up there. It's 100 bucks. But, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Blown away by this thing. That's cool. you know and this is kind of silly i don't need it because i have the air pods but also includes a little three and a half miller a millimeter headphone jack so oh man i'm having to put the red on air light up here look at that red on oh did you say that you said that i was looking at the specs on this thing when you totally it's all right i was due one i've been i heard you say that it's got to pass through a lightning charging port but i didn't hear you say that's all good i've been i've been due for a while because i've been i've been the one mostly doing this but but anyway it's really
Starting point is 00:14:15 neat, Brian, I know you'd flip over it. The thing about it that really got me is the build quality is not some throwaway crap, plastic, garbage monkey. It's like real sturdy and feels good. Some people don't like that the buttons are a little clicky. I like it. I like
Starting point is 00:14:31 tactile buttons. I do too. The sticks remind me of switch sticks, but a little more sturdy than a switch even. And what was the other thing I liked? Oh, I just like not having a device. I have to worry if it's charged also, you know?
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah, right, right. Yeah, that makes sense. It just plugs in and goes, unlike all the wireless ways of doing this. So, anyway, I just loved it. I'm not getting paid by them. This is not an endorsement that they know about. This is straight up just me saying, dude, I found a rad thing. And I think you guys would all really dig it,
Starting point is 00:15:02 and I'll talk more about it on Boop and Core and anywhere else. I got to mess with it because I did play a bunch of games. I'm not buying it yet, but I'm putting it on my list. I've got to wait for some stuff to happen here with Ireland. and Disneyland and stuff like that. So I didn't even wait until after vacation time. Yeah, very good point. I will say, what was I going to say?
Starting point is 00:15:24 One other thing I was going to add. Oh, playing it on GamePass slash XCloud, which is Microsoft's cloud gaming thing that comes with GamePass. That's all cool and works great on lots of devices, but I was really impressed here because the latency that, there's going to always be latency with cloud gaming just a little, even if it's after a while imperceptible or you don't notice even at first
Starting point is 00:15:48 there's some there that isn't there normally that's just the way of it for now and you're on a phone which is wireless so you have that as well as fast as your Wi-Fi can be now these days you're still going to have a little bit of latency however I've noticed when I do it with a wireless controller and then
Starting point is 00:16:04 a cloud X cloud game it's way more noticeable on the lag when I use this thing because it's hardwired right into the butt of the thing, you eliminate any kind of wireless lag that you would have no matter what. And now the only lag left is whatever exists in the cloud service. And this is true. I tested it on now as well, or G-Force now. And it was butter. It was so good. I played
Starting point is 00:16:32 Wow. What's the game with the... Oh, I forgot the name of the damn thing. Oh, Dirt 5. I played Dirt 5, which is like this really highfalutin, 60 frame per second, beautiful, intense, graphical thing game and it just ran just so smooth and beautifully I beat the race I won a rally race against a bunch of guys in Japan moved on to the next thing and it was great that's cool all right so that's my recommendation for the day I want you guys I'm in uh yeah if somebody pointed out Brian you might want to have it for the flight to Ireland's like oh that's not a bad idea actually nice and compact fit in my bag kind of situation we'll see yeah and you'd have there's your there's your OLD display that right you've already got
Starting point is 00:17:13 You didn't, you, you don't even have to worry for a Nintendo to give you one. Although, I guess you're not going to play a lot of Nintendo games. But I also hear there's a lot of really cool hackery shit going on with this thing. So, so I'm just saying maybe it's as cool as I say it is. Maybe that's what's happening. All right. Very cool. Also, real quick, one of these movies we watched is for recommendals this week.
Starting point is 00:17:34 So I'm not going to tell you what it is. Okay. But I saw two movies with Carter that we've had on this back burner list of like, hey, we need to show my kids of these movies. you know like you do it Tristan it's like uh totally well he used to do before he moved out well yeah yeah but so in carter's case it's like so many and we just haven't ever really gotten started on this list uh in earnest so we sat down and i made her watch dave kevin klein dave kevin klein dave where a guy looks like president mitchell so they bring him in there and then mitchell gets a aneurism and then dave takes over and it's got this amazing cast
Starting point is 00:18:11 Frank Langella's in there and like all these amazing people. And I am here to tell you, despite a slightly overwrought soundtrack by James Newton and Howard, I believe, that movie holds the hell up. And I'm here to tell you that if you say to me, hey, your favorite Ivan Reitman movies, I'm putting this right up there with Coast Busters. I love this. Wow. It's so good. It's so freaking good. So I'm just throwing it out there
Starting point is 00:18:42 It's on HBO Max People should watch Dave It's old enough where I was like I don't know if I'm going to do this as a recommendal But I do love that movie And it's still got hard With older stuff that yeah Nothing wrong with older stuff for recommendals
Starting point is 00:18:55 Because I did Harry Potter last week And yeah sometimes you got it Sometimes you got it sometimes it's like Oh I want to go back and see that Or something gets added to streaming That hasn't been on streaming for a long time Yeah David I guess I just want to
Starting point is 00:19:09 said Dave is still good, and it has heart still, and they earn it. And yes, it could be seen as cheesy, but they pull it off. Part of it is because it's just made really well. Kevin Klein's an amazing in it. So Gorney Weaver's great in it. Everybody's great in it. Cool. Very cool. Oh, you know who else is good? Who just died? Oh. He used to have a talk show for a while. He used to be on Letterman all the time. He was in Midnight Run, his name is... Oh, Charles Groden?
Starting point is 00:19:43 Charles Groden! He's in that, and he's great in it. Really? Oh, cool. I remember his vice president was the guy they kept sending away on, to kind of distract him, was... Ben Kingsley, right? Ben Kingsley, correct. Yeah, he plays Gary... Gary Nance, I guess is the president's
Starting point is 00:20:03 name. And here's the great thing. You know, spoiler. At some point he gets sworn in. okay but he gets sworn in as the 45th president oh really wow so timely yeah timely i would have taken gary nads a fake president over the 45th yeah yeah all right uh anyway oh and ving rames is amazing too yeah ving rames is so good it's just so good you guys you don't even remember uh mara turn uh no not mar attorney uh lady lady from a million things is in it um again they give her name anyway everybody's in it They're all in it, and it's the one movie that you forgot you got this quote from,
Starting point is 00:20:43 but when you say, we're walking, we're walking, it's from Dave. Oh, yeah, that comes from Dave. Huh. All right. But you're saying that's not, quote, unquote, free streaming where that's a rental. No, that one is streaming. It's on HBO Max. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 00:20:54 All right. Well, I'm adding it to my list to see again. Habo Max. I finished my rewatch of Friends, got to the last one, as it's called, and, yeah, the show holds up. I mean, there's a lot of stuff in there that. you know, you kind of see the advent of cell phones being a regular thing in that show. Did you feel like it, how do you feel like it ended strong? I always feel like it ended week, but maybe I just don't remember right.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I feel like it ended strong. That's a show that's not going to have like a big breaking bad ending, right? It's, uh, these two are going off and getting a house and having kids or adopting kids. And this one's going off to Paris with her new boyfriend, going to be your husband, you know, that sort of thing. So, well, I was, I was fine. She got off the plane.
Starting point is 00:21:45 I mean, I don't know. I'm sick of Ross, really, especially after 10 seasons of binging that show. I'm sick of Ross. I love, this one I, I, I've always loved, Phoebe was my favorite friend on that show. She was your best friend, okay. My best friend. She was my best friend. Love Chandler, love Monica, I've grown a new appreciation for Joey, especially, um,
Starting point is 00:22:08 You know, in recent years with Matt LeBlanc on, uh, uh, episodes. Great show if you haven't seen it. Oh, man. Episodes is really good. It's so good. But, uh, man, I just, you know, Ross, uh, Ross would be the friend I'd talk about with the other friends when he wasn't around. We'd be sitting there at the, at Central Perk and be like, you know, Ross isn't here.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Maybe, maybe this would be better with just the six of us. Yeah. We don't need, we don't need, which is kind of weird because since friends, his has been one of the more interesting careers in my opinion like actor-wise. I really liked him in Band of Brothers. He played a jerk, but I liked him in it. He was good in that
Starting point is 00:22:46 Kardashian O.J. Simpson thing. The, what was it called? The OJ. Did It movie. Oh, right. The American crime story. Crime story, yeah, right. OJ Totally Did It.com, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Whatever it is. Does he ever, can you point to a David Schwimmer performance that isn't some iteration of Ross. Of Ross. That's a fair point. But I would say that about Matt LeBlanc, right? Even the Madagascar stuff is...
Starting point is 00:23:19 Yeah, you know, you're right. I would say Matt LeBlanc, though, fits in a similar thing. We just like that archetype better, you know? Maybe that's true. Yeah, I'm trying to think if... Yeah, I can't really think of Matt LeBlanc doing anything different. Actually, to that same effect, Matthew Perry. Cranky, sarcastic.
Starting point is 00:23:35 All his things. All his things. All nine-year. or 109 yards more or whatever the series was, he was basically just Chandler again. Yeah, okay. So maybe all of them. Maybe, you know, maybe Courtney Cox is the only who showed any range when Bruce Springsteen pulled her up out of the audience
Starting point is 00:23:55 to do dancing in the dark with her. Well, I mean, I'd like to go to your Phoebe point. Oh, yeah. Actually, you know, there you go. She's great. and everything. She's great, you know, but I will say her character as the therapist on that web therapy thing was, was different. She wasn't ditsy. And she was like a diva on that other thing, the showtime, The Comeback, is that what that was called? Oh, yeah, HBO or Showtime. It was short-lived,
Starting point is 00:24:29 but it was great. It was very good. Yeah, yeah. I just really like her. And she also looks amazing these days. She's the oldest one there. there. She's like 60. The rest of them look like shit. And she looks real and normal and great. Yep. It doesn't look like she's had anything done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:48 She's, yeah. I mean, I'll judge. She's been great about picking her. We're here judging the way people look because that's what you do. It's Hollywood, damn. It's Hollywood. Sorry, we're we're, we're dicks. It's Hollywood. You can, you can tape another year onto our calendar, but we're still a couple of dicks. Their whole world
Starting point is 00:25:04 is about looking good for us. So we're here judging it. That's right. All right. We got to drink this thing. But still Aisha Tyler. Best person ever on that show. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:16 All right. She was the best extracurricular friend. She was the best, right. Fifth, seventh beetle. Yeah, she was a pretty good beetle. All right, let's do this. So I'm going to read this letter while you open that because your letter is way shorter than mine. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Mine says. As you open it. Should I read what this says? Well, he just says. for you and Brian to enjoy TMS, make sure you chill it before drinking. That's it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:41 One says, Brian, enclosed find one 240 milliliter can of bird nest drink. No! I have also provided similar to Mr. Scott Johnson of whom you may be acquainted. That drink is best served, really, really, really cold straight from the can.
Starting point is 00:26:01 It is not carbonated. It has some sediment. So you may wish to shake it, prior to drinking. Or not. Maybe I let it be sediment and stay down where it belongs. Maybe I don't shake it. Oh, my lord, dude. You and I have the same can, right?
Starting point is 00:26:20 Is this the same? Okay. Yeah, exactly. Although yours, yeah, there it is. Read what it says under the words birds nest on the English side. Oh, wonderful. All right, I'm going to read the entire thing. Wonder Farm, Birds Nest,
Starting point is 00:26:34 white fungus which is what I wrestled under for a few years when that was my best thing in the white ladies and gentlemen the white fungus
Starting point is 00:26:46 in the blue trucks the white fungus that sounds about right it does say no preservatives that's really heartening and the BACs has a different language Nuwok Yen
Starting point is 00:26:59 Negan Vietnamese is that what that is all right Well, shit. I don't like the nutritional facts are not printed on the can. They're stuck on there. Dude, are we really going to drink this?
Starting point is 00:27:14 We have to. Do we have to shake it? I'd like, do we shake it or no shake it? I've been just turning it. It's not carbonated, so it's not like it's going to spray birds nest all over the place. But I can already feel like my throat closing. up and the saliva building up for like uh like uh i'm going to go put my headphones down and throw it up i like to eat all right we're gonna i almost want to have something else ready i've
Starting point is 00:27:42 got a little bit of my free starbucks i got water i'm all about you also got the free birthday thing hell yes come on i love that i love that no problem with it you're the kind of person that likes it when they come around to your table and sing to you on your birthday don't you no that i'm not that i could do without yes that's there they're there's the line, everybody. Okay, so here it is. We're going to do this segment where we haven't done in a while. I like to eat.
Starting point is 00:28:10 We're going to eat this here. I'm scared. I am too. No cash refund, it says. Here we go. I can't. I'm holding my nose. There's no way, like, I don't know how this smells.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I'll smell it after I drink it. Is there a smell? There's a smell and it's not good. I'm not doing it. I can't do the smell. It's what you think, a dirty old nest. might smell like oh no no oh i've cleaned these from behind the speaker on our back patio these birds and ass i know what's in them these clog up my drains every year and i have to have
Starting point is 00:28:47 i have to pay a guy to go clean them out all right oh i can see things in it oh i'm not looking i'm not smelling i'm not looking all right here goes ready yes oh it's thick That's it That's all That's all That's all That's bad That's
Starting point is 00:29:10 Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Starting point is 00:29:16 That's horrendous That's horrendous That's That's as bad As the Oh Did you have Sentiment?
Starting point is 00:29:29 Yeah I did That's as what's that fish people open and almost die when they open it in the can, the lute fisk stuff or whatever it is? Oh, lute fesk, sure, yeah. What insane person thinks this is a cool refreshing anything? You know what?
Starting point is 00:29:48 It's fun because there was a little bit of a weird sweetness to it. I was expecting it to taste like iron tinny kind of. Yeah, I don't know if it's better. I would say it's not as bad as yogurt soda, But I still believe that Hammond gave us accidentally, not intentionally, gave us spoiled yogurt soda. Yeah, that was 100% bad because Tom got the good bottle and he didn't have a problem. But then Tom will eat anything. Tom would eat anything.
Starting point is 00:30:16 If Tom was here right now, he would down the rest of this. He would. He would. Because he's a freak. You think he's just this like quiet, mild-mannered tech reporter going after the facts and stick into the tech. And no, he'll drink that and then eat. eat a climato and then freaking, I don't know, eat a handful of dirt that he found somewhere.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Tom's weird that way. Yeah, Tom's norm, the yogurt soda was an artacular thing. I think 2014, I believe. Yeah. I think the first time we were at Snowbird, I think we had the yogurt soda. 2013 then.
Starting point is 00:30:50 It would have been the year before. And Hammond brought these yogurt soda Middle Eastern things. And ours was had gone bad. It was bad. But we drank it anyway because we didn't know. We didn't know. Nicole actually got sick and couldn't even do a panel later. Yeah, she got super sick on it, and the rest of us were just kind of, uh,
Starting point is 00:31:09 and we didn't drink much. I did the same thing. I just tasted it, but that's horrific. Should I see if the sprinkler guy's thirsty? Oh, dude, to go out there. Hey, this is still cold. How are you doing? A very nice glass of birds nest.
Starting point is 00:31:23 It's got white fungus in it. What's Newarkian? Don't worry about it. Just drink it. Don't think about it. Can you see this thickness now? Thank you. Very nice of you to pay for us to have this and to send me nearly an entire roll and a half of paper towels to go along with it.
Starting point is 00:31:41 It's really, really bad. Claire, it's a, it's a, it's liquid squished through a nest full of bird poo and birds spit mainly. It's mostly spit because that's how they hold their nests together. So we're not just saying, oh, they call it the bird's nest, but really it's Merlot and Merlo and some other thing. This is like, what did I say, Merlot? Merlot. It's Merlot, right? Yeah, Merlot.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Why did I say Merlot? I don't know why he said Merlot. For the same reason, he said Creamy Pim. Yeah. The process, we talked about this last week, the process, they actually smush liquid through the nest. Yeah. Because somebody at some point in man's history said, that's a good idea. And they're wrong.
Starting point is 00:32:26 They're just wrong. There's better ways to do this. Whatever the liquid was before you pushed it to the nest. That's the better choice. Right. Oh, wow. TVZ got and found photos of us drinking, uh,
Starting point is 00:32:40 or actually of us with the yogurt soda. Yeah, this was 2014. I recognize my... It is 2014. Okay. Oh, yeah, the poster in the back.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Yeah, my skinny visage. I thought it was the first one, but you're right. Yeah. Yeah, it was so bad, you guys. There's Kim with her. Hey, Greg. Greg, did you hear? Danny Elfman's doing a nightmare before Christmas.
Starting point is 00:33:01 on a Halloween in Los Angeles this year. Is that true? Is that really true? Yeah, yeah. That's pretty awesome. Oh my gosh, my wife administered this drink. She walked around and poured it for everybody. She did.
Starting point is 00:33:11 It's her fault. And her sister hanging out there behind us. I almost, I don't recognize that guy sitting next to us. He used to be on this show, didn't me? I used to come on once in a while and talk about being how we were sparkly or whatever. Yeah, I remember that. Very sparkly. He doesn't like us anymore.
Starting point is 00:33:32 That's when I weighed about 40 pounds less than I do now. Yeah, well. Those are the days. Yeah. We all do. I'm getting there, man. I'm getting there. I'm getting there, all right?
Starting point is 00:33:41 You and I are both getting there. Yep. All right. Done away time. Yes. We wasted enough time drinking the worst thing I've ever had in my mouth. Okay. So now we move on to this bit of business.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Oh, I got to open. Oh, no, we're not doing calls. You have a pre-whatever question thing. Yes, right. We don't need. We don't need contest. I'm coming to us with contestants. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:03 They're already here. They're pre-packaged. Hey, Brian Dunaway joins us from South Carolina. Hello, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. Hi, Brian. Sorry, we're calling.
Starting point is 00:34:16 How are you guys? We were better 10 minutes ago. Hey, Brian, would you drink the bird's nest drink? Would you try this? I was listening, and there is no way I would drink the bird's nest drink. I wouldn't even drink things that aren't pasteurized, and I can't imagine what process
Starting point is 00:34:34 and what quality control is involved with straining water through a bird's nest. I think you're kind of taking your own chances. Yeah. I think so. Yeah, and I let's see, made in Vietnam. Who knows that their stringent rules are over there?
Starting point is 00:34:52 From a place called Wonder Farm in Vietnam. Wonder farm. I wonder what it is. The farm puts together a shit like this. Really nasty. Anyway, well, it's good to hear. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:35:03 You only live once and I'm, you know, I'm a little jealous you guys. Got a chance to do that. Oh, well, look, I'll send you what I have left and you can have it all. It's no problem. It's totally yours. Put in a tube. Yeah, you send me that C-64 thing. I'll send you the whole tube.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Okay. It is thick. I just spilled some. Did it, did it, is it eating through the floor? No, it looks like that. Alien blood. Like the alien blood, exactly. It looks more like the goo that's coming out of their mouths and they're about to strike, you know, when they're going and their little, like, middle mouths about ready to get you in the throat.
Starting point is 00:35:36 That's what this stuff looks like. Yeah, it's bad. All right, Brian, welcome. It's good to have you here. We're going to play a game. Brian, Ibbott over here will explain who's going to play with us and how they'll win things. Yeah, that's exactly right. Welcome to the morning squirm.
Starting point is 00:35:50 It's a back-and-forth trivia game where our players will match wits on topics that Cliff Clavin would have offered up at the cheeseba. Scott and Brian are going to take turns answering multiple choice trivia questions that are squirmier than birds and estrin. And if they get it wrong, the other player gets a point. The player with the most points after five questions wins the prize for their contestant. And contestants will be pulled from members of the tadpool
Starting point is 00:36:17 that aren't able to listen live. Scott, you're going to be playing for Daniel F. of Chicago, Illinois. I guess I could probably... I won't say his full name. That's not docs anybody. Uh, well, yeah, that's fair. Yeah, who knows if he wants that. He may not.
Starting point is 00:36:31 And, uh, Brian, you're going to be playing for Gabriel G of Bella Vista, Arkansas. Gabriel Gabriel, Gabriel, uh, Twitch is being weird. Hold on. Yeah, it's just noticing that in the chat room. Okay, you guys look and sound great. I don't think it's us. Hey, I think it's all the chance for me. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I think we're good now. All right. We're back to being good. Let's go. Let's go ahead. Continue forward. Okay, cool. So, all right.
Starting point is 00:36:56 I'm going to be asking you guys to give you guys, tricky questions. I can't remember who left off last time, who won last time. Oh, geez, no. Let's see. Do I have a coin? Yeah, caught in the air. TMS Vegas coin, heads. Yeah. I love to show those tails. Brian Dunnowell, you call it in the air.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Heads. Heads, he says, tails in the air. Oh, that's a shame. That's a shame. Scott, you'll be going first. Okay. What is the average age for people in the United States to lose their virginity is it uh 14 and a half years old 21.2 years old 17 17.4 years old or 16.1 years old so 14 and change 21 and change 17 and change 16 and change now is this boys and girls
Starting point is 00:37:50 Americans of all yes Americans of all uh of all genders if I had to guess it's the 16. That feels right, but that's, yeah, but that may have been, that might be generational. But if Becky, if Becky is, is, uh, helping a fella out on the bus, how far do you have to go to be considered? Wow. Not a virgin. Oh, I see what you're saying. Oh, yeah, I see what you're saying. Um, you're, you're talking about, I'm guessing you're talking about coitus, right?
Starting point is 00:38:23 Like, full on, I'm talking about quite us. I'm talking about actual, yeah, you know, I don't need. We've already given this question too much. We've already given this question too much attention already, I think. Yeah, I'm going to say. How is Babi formed? I'm talking about how is Babi. Yeah, how you make Babi.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Yeah, 16.1, whatever it was. All right. 16.1 is incorrect. Oh. Brian gets the point. Brian, do you want to take a guess of this one? Oddly enough, with the average, I don't think everybody is hot. I think it's 21.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I don't think everybody can get it. Brian Dunaway, also incorrect, it is 17.4. Oh, man. All right. You know what that actually is, thank goodness it wasn't 14.5. I find that, I find that heartening because I was really worried it was 14, whatever. It really was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:10 So I don't know. For whatever reason, that gives me hope, but then I don't know why I care. I don't know. Go have your fun, whatever. Do what you got to do. Just don't get back. All right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Brian, in a study conducted by. neuroscientists, the most irritating sound to upset humans was found to be, what? Was it? Gross. Was it a knife on a bottle, a fork on a glass, nails on a chalkboard, or a baby crying? Interesting. Tina's voice. Are you sure it wasn't a...
Starting point is 00:39:47 Or Tina's voice, that's rude. Or are you sure it wasn't Newt's scream? You sure it's not that? That was horrible. Yeah. It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. It's pretty rough.
Starting point is 00:39:57 All right. Well, I mean, since it's been portrayed in a lot of movies, I mean, I think the common, the common agreed upon terribleness is nails on a chalkboard, right? Nails on a chalkboard is incorrect. Oh, man. I've been lied to by the media. Can you repeat the three again? Yep, I'll repeat the three.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Knife on a bottle, a fork on a glass, or a baby crang. all right i don't find babies crying to upset me at all but i know that i'm as it is a parent most parents wouldn't so yeah i think that's probably especially if it's your own but it doesn't bother me even in public with kids that aren't mine like on planes i don't understand why people freak out about crying babies it doesn't bother me one freaking bit in fact usually we'll get up and hold kim will hold the baby and then we'll try you know what we can to help but i don't Usually, you know what? I do, yeah, similar.
Starting point is 00:40:54 I get up and I get my noise-canceling headphones and I block it out. Yeah. So, yeah. Same thing. Same thing does. It's just not bother. Yeah, same exact thing. It just doesn't bother me.
Starting point is 00:41:04 But I'm guessing that's bothered, that bothers a lot of people. So I'll say that the answer is probably that baby's crying. A baby crying is incorrect. The correct answer is a knife on a bottle. Oh, knife on a bottle? Really? Knife on a bottle. So like scraping a knife on a bottle.
Starting point is 00:41:21 as dice tornado points out knife on a bottle and fork on a glass kind of the same thing it's metal on on glass but for whatever reason while I was thinking maybe I could see a fork and I do a ting like you know kind of like the tines might give a little bit
Starting point is 00:41:36 different reverberation than a thick than a thick knife right I'll say what it bothers Brian how about my personal choice go scraping your fork on your teeth I'll murder you oh really yeah I have a friend
Starting point is 00:41:50 both that and a fork on a plate. If you go eat with them and you do either of those things, you're going to end up. Use your lips to pull that food off with, your food will be in your lap. I have an annoying sound. It's when Ernest P. Whirl used to do this.
Starting point is 00:42:10 I used to hate that. Any kind of yokel humor is my knife on a bottle. I would have thought the knife on the bottle thing. You ever notice that people that do have to scrape the fork in their teeth have to like do it like where they have to jerk the fork out like oh like they're like a magician pulling a tablecloth out from under uh yeah what's wrong with you boo i don't like that i don't like that at all uh i was going to say i thought maybe it was because it's a breakable item so you you don't want to risk or the feeling of risking breaking a bottle and cutting or whatever
Starting point is 00:42:41 might be part of it i don't know that it doesn't have anything to do with that all right uh back Switch is being a dirt. Yeah, that's what people are saying. Let me try. Okay, we're back. We're just going to wing this. If it works, great. If it doesn't, well, we all are dead.
Starting point is 00:42:57 It doesn't matter. We're all going to die in the end. That's right. So Brian, back to you, wherever you were. Where were you? That's right. We're back to Brian being answering this one. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Brian, in a recent poll, this smell was voted the most offensive. Wow. So the sound, now the smell. Do you have a theme? Yeah, we must have a theme for this. Yeah, what's offensive things? Is it decaying animal? B, human poop.
Starting point is 00:43:28 C, deviled eggs, or D, vomit. Now, was this an actual, this is just a pole, right? So this is not like, this is not scientific data like before. This isn't a poll. This isn't people getting four smells and deciding which one they find worse. This is, right. this is they're getting it described to them or like you know make a list and here pick your pick the worst smell right so we got we got uh we got uh deviled eggs which was a c and then b
Starting point is 00:43:57 tell me again tell me again sure uh decaying animal human uh shit poop yeah dead deviled eggs or vomit um you know in a poll i think people i think they're going to go vomit i think people are going to I think people are going to vote vomit, even though if in a blind smell test, I don't think it would be the answer. All right. Okay. Is it vomit? No, vomit is incorrect. Scott gets the point.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I'm shocked by the way. So, Scott, of the remaining ones, decaying animal, human shit, or deviled eggs, what do you think the worst smell is? I feel like I'm being led to it, but I'll just say deviled eggs because those are those kind of reek. So devil egg, deviled eggs. It is not deviled eggs. It is. It's got to be the poo. it is a decaying animal
Starting point is 00:44:42 The most offensive smell Now if you ask me that I would agree Because that is the most offensive smell If you've ever smell anything dead It's just like oh my God What is that? Gotta leave the area What does that stink?
Starting point is 00:44:57 All right Well we've talked about smells And And sounds Scott this one goes to you Recent studies have found People tend to hate this color when they get older.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Okay. So as people get older, they tend to hate this color. This is not going to be racist, is it? I mean, it could be. It could be. You know old people. I'm not, yeah, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:45:25 All right, is it blue, orange, red, or green? Or some people say orange. Is it blue orange, red, or green? Or as you say orange, right? I say orange, orange. That's how my dad said it. You and my dad to cut from the same cloth on that one. Yeah, clearly.
Starting point is 00:45:45 The right, the correct grammar cloth. So this is a color. This is a color they don't like. There's a color that they tend to hate as they get older. People tend to hate this color as they get older. Okay. And it's interesting. I never thought about my increase loathing of a color as I've gotten older.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It's a weird thing to, yeah. Is it my turn or Brian? I can't, I don't remember. Oh, it's your turn, Scott. Okay. I'm going to say orange. It just feels like a color that an old guy would complain about.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Incorrect. Brian gets the point. Brian, blue, red, or green? I'm going to go with the red? Red is also incorrect. What?
Starting point is 00:46:28 Really? Blue. Yeah, people tend to hate the color blue as they get older. That's really weird. It is weird. Why would they hate? Interesting study.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I don't have a link to the had the study for this one. That's really odd. Okay. I would have thought, I would have thought Orange and with you, because that's more of a young person's game. It is. Can you get a person's game?
Starting point is 00:46:49 Yeah. Yeah, no, I agree. I feel like I'm more annoyed with Orange the older I get, and I kind of like Orange right now, but we'll see how things go. Anyway, let's see. That was a Scott question. This one's Brian. Final question.
Starting point is 00:47:02 You guys are at two, two. Ooh. Dyebreaker. All comes down to this. between 1973 and 2011, which of the following accounted for more than half of the 46 deaths caused by melon-related food poisoning? My God, what a twisting road of a question. So in this 40-year bracket, which of these melons caused the most deaths by food poisoning? So it's like Listeria, right?
Starting point is 00:47:33 That's always the one you hear about is Listeria. I think so, yes. Is it the watermelon, the cantaloupe, the honeydew, or the horned melon? The horny melon, the horned melon. I don't know what that is. I've never heard of it. Just by sheer volume, I would think that your watermelon gets consumed more than any of those. And just by percentages you think that it would happen more there.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Sure. All right. I mean, I don't know. Maybe it can't exist. in watermelon, but I'm going to go with watermelon. For the game, is the answer, watermelon? No. No, that gets the point.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Honeydew. Daniel of Chicago wins, but. Sorry. And I was going to say, I was coming back to you. So do you think it's a canelope, honeydew or hornmelon? I think it's honeydew, just because honeydews, I don't know, I feel like we've, I think we've even covered recalls or something here on honeydews or something. It is not.
Starting point is 00:48:35 You've got to be cantaloupe then. It is cantaloupe. Yeah, it's funny. Five questions, and even with two choices, you guys didn't get any of them right on the second meals. Dang it. Have you ever, Candelope, that stuff rots like nobody's business. Oh, yeah, it's bad. Yeah, yeah, cantaloupe gets bad.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Like, you can tell, like, a watermelon just gets mealy. Yeah. But cantalope, you see the whole side start caving in and changing color. That's why I would have thought people wouldn't have got it from cantaloupe because, you know, it's pretty obvious when Candelope goes bad. It seems like rotting. Probably saying, they're probably saying,
Starting point is 00:49:09 ah, it's just bad on the outside. I can probably still eat the inside. Just the rind is bad. Rodding canaloupe should be on the smell list. It's so bad. Right. Good Lord, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Yeah, it's really bad. All right, well, I'm pretty stoked about this, this winner. Winner, winner. You know, it's funny, though. Yeah, I helped the dude win, but who was it again? Am I playing for it? It was Daniel F of Chicago. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:49:33 That's right. Well done. I still feel like I won. because Brian just got a lot wrong and it just happened to get more wrong than me. That's right. By the way, Daniel, you are getting Wildfire and Boreal

Starting point is 00:55:21 Jeez. All right. Let's get Bill in here. He's probably not even sure where we are, given the state of the internet right now. Yeah. appears to be... Help us, internet. I think it might be me, but I don't know how, and I don't know why, because I see you,
Starting point is 00:55:37 you see me. Everyone sounds great. Yeah, you sound fine to me, so I don't think it's... I don't know what it is, but we're not doing tech support. We're talking to Bill. Your bat caves open there, Bill. It's Bill DeRan, everybody, the purveyor of all things, punish props.com, joining us as he does on Monday to talk about the world of making stuff. Hello, Bill. Welcome back.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Hello, there. Hey, man. Hello, Bill. I've been building a lot of workshops. shop furniture. We'll talk about that today. I didn't know this. This is a new, not a new foray for you, but something I don't remember you ever talking about before.
Starting point is 00:56:10 That sounds great. So we're not talking about, like, you know, fine woodworking. In fact, most of what I've done with this, and I'm, you can't see me, but I'm making air quotes when I say the word woodworking. Yeah. Nothing I've done with the two-by-fours and scraps of plywood in my basement is something I would. ever want to show to Mark Spagnolo. However, I have been working on some furniture. That's fantastic. Tell us what kind and why a guy like you even needs that stuff. Yeah. So when I talk about workshop furniture, I talk about the stuff you build to like hold all your
Starting point is 00:56:48 tools or to work on or to hold all of your materials. For example, a lot of shelves. I've built a lot of shelves recently because I have a lot of stuff that I need to store. And I've found that I can't have enough shelves, no matter what. Yeah. Every shelf I've built is full of stuff. Of course. You make a lot of stuff that you want to display. I, I rented the same thing. I 3D print a lot of stuff, but also I buy a lot of crap that I want to put on shelves. And there's only so much room behind me on these shelves. And it doesn't matter how many shelves you own. You'll fill them all. I'm sure of it. Sure. Yeah. So I've been doing that a lot lately. Most of the shelves are to hold, like, I have these clear plastic bins that are labeled with stuff in them.
Starting point is 00:57:34 So it's pretty organized. I'm actually quite proud of it. But one of the shelves, for example, I specifically built it to hold one of my 3D printers next to where the computer is. So there was just a blank spot on the wall there, and I thought, wow, it would be really handy if the 3D printer was right next to the computer. So I custom made a shelf for that printer to sit right there, which is perfect. Yeah. I've also been building things like work benches. Just having a big flat space to put stuff on while you're working on it is super-duper handy.
Starting point is 00:58:06 And specifically, I have a couple of shorter cabinets. They're about six feet wide, like two feet deep. But they're only about waist high. So I built an extended workbench top for it that makes it another foot taller. It also gives me space under it to store stuff. And that's where I'm going to put my, or I've already put my lathe and all of my machining type tools. But it was perfect because, like, and I've done this before with my lathe, I had it set up much lower. So I had to bend over every time I used it.
Starting point is 00:58:41 If you stand there bending over for like half an hour working on a thing, suddenly you stand up. You're like, ah, that was a mistake. That doesn't get any better either. It doesn't get easier. It gets worse. No, no. So having a, being able to build a piece of furniture so that that tool, you know, that tool. is at the appropriate height for me is going to make a huge difference.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Something else, too, though, is just like, tool stands. So I have a lot of big tools. And the easiest thing to do is, like, put them on a workbench or put them on a table or something. But sometimes you don't have that spot. So, for example, I have this big-ish horizontal bandsaw, and I built a rolling stand for it. This is, again, so it's at the right height. but I don't use it all the time so it's got this tall rolling stand
Starting point is 00:59:29 and I can just roll it out from where I keep it stowed plug it in, use it to cut something and then roll it back I've also built shelves on it so I can store other tools on that rolling stand suffice to say that all of these things have been super super handy
Starting point is 00:59:46 and it's been cool to be able to custom build them to my needs well you're a custom build kind of guy so it fits you pretty well absolutely i love being able to uh and in fact a lot of times i'll build the thing and then i'll be like needs another hole here and just lop part of it off like once it's finished you just start just start going ham on it and putting holes and screwing more stuff to the side of it uh it's super fun to customize furniture that way nice now because it's shop furniture because it's not fun woodworking.
Starting point is 01:00:20 I'm not gluing together big panels of walnut or anything. I'm using what I have on hand. I was going to ask that question. You're not in the business of like I need these to have the same fit and finish as my best props do, right? You just got to make them work.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Exactly. Whatever I have on hand. And what I happened to have was a lot of two by fours, a lot of like secondhand. These are whenever I take something apart and I recently took apart a lot of stuff. I keep the big pieces of wood. I know I'm going to use them. Well, I'll probably use them.
Starting point is 01:00:57 You know what? To be honest, I should throw some of those two by fours away. I have a lot of two by fours. But a lot of reclaimed old pieces of wood from old work benches. Any flat board, so I have like shelves made out of plywood, OSB, just pine boards that I've made shelves on. of 12 years ago and I still have them and like particle board so every shelf has like a different
Starting point is 01:01:23 top on it like a different type of wood but it's kind of cool it's kind of patchwork and I kind of into that yeah that's cool and it didn't cost me a thing all of this furniture was made from reclaim stuff I already had the screws
Starting point is 01:01:40 all I had to do was cut it into new shapes and screw it all together just a little bit of time right yeah time a lot of sweat Some, a couple of very superficial hand nicks and dings. And it's not pretty. It does have a certain aesthetic to it, let's say.
Starting point is 01:02:01 That aesthetic is definitely, hey, I built this myself. But it accomplishes one simple thing. It does it very well. It's very durable. And like I said before, I have the opportunity to continue to customize it during its lifetime. And it's easier to customize stuff like that than say if you try and drill into the side of a particle board piece
Starting point is 01:02:23 of IKEA furniture, all of a sudden it just starts shooting crap everyone. Not that you can't modify IKEA furniture, but Right. That's a whole. It does break apart really. If you try and modify it, you've got to be really careful. There's a real art to that though, right? Like I've seen a lot of channels who focus on that
Starting point is 01:02:39 very thing. Like here's this. Yeah, IKEA acts is definitely a thing. Yeah. But if you start, trust me, I've done this before I tried to, I got a panel from IKEA and they're hollow. It's just it's mostly just cardboard. And I tried to drill a nice clean hole
Starting point is 01:02:54 through it, which was easier said than done. It was very cheap and flimsy. Sure. Anyway, the 2x4s and plywood and everything that I used is really durable. I'll be able to modify it for its lifetime. And I've done that too. A lot of the shop furniture
Starting point is 01:03:10 I've made over the years I've modified or repurposed. And again, I cannot reiterate this enough. It did not cost me any money to build all of this furniture because I'd never throw away any wood. It's all scraps. No, that seems like a good way to do it. I'm wrestling with something similar. There's, you know, I've got the bookcases behind me. I've been always wanting something different.
Starting point is 01:03:35 And it's modeled after whatever Andy Cohen has in the background of his set. Tina called me up when he was doing a watch what happens or some Bravo BS. But he's got this really cool modular-looking bookcasey thing behind it. It's all uneven, different-sized shelves and spaces. And that's the kind of thing I want behind me, not these, like, all right, you've got to put all the same stuff on this one, all the same size stuff, and then all the same size stuff on the next shelf. So, anyway, that's kind of thing. It's like necessity makes you want to build these things as opposed to just going and finding something online that will kind of do, but not really, not building the thing you want. Well, plus if you've got this scrap like you've got, like, exactly.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Yeah, I might as well. Yeah, I'm not going to be able to go to IKEA and be like, all right, I need a shelf that perfectly fits. Right. An Ultimaker S plus extended. It's the bigger one. I need the extended one. So do you have any shelves for that? exactly no they don't let me let me ask you this let me ask you this is a guy who generally sucks with woodworking and sort of building things in general i'm just not great at it um how much like what should i should i look out for some something where i'm going to eff it up like is there like a a rule to the shelf that if you don't put this or that on there then that thing's going to wobble to the left and all your shit's going to fall off like i would worry about that with me i think the thing one of the things that is the easiest to um misunderstand is the way
Starting point is 01:05:11 if you build a box, let's say, just four sides on your box out of any kind of wood, it will want to rack, which means it will tilt. The whole thing, all the sides will stay parallel, but the whole thing will flatten and tilt to one side. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm making,
Starting point is 01:05:27 I'm showing you with my hand, but you can't see me. But it'll rack to the side unless it's properly supported in some way. And that is something you'll want to figure out as you're building your thing, not at the end when you install it and then the whole thing falls over.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Sure. Now, that makes sense. There are lots of little things like that. You have to kind of keep in mind. But if you're building cheap shop furniture with scraps, you'll learn these lessons as you go. Don't worry. They'll come up. Sure.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Yeah. Learn the hard way, I always say. Yeah. And it's not that expensive or time consuming to have to rebuild part of a shelf. And that lesson will last you a lifetime. Yeah. Especially when you're talking about just, you know, poopy scrapwood. It's either going to just sit there and go.
Starting point is 01:06:11 gather dust or you're going to have to give it away, throw it away, sell it or whatever. You may as well make stuff out of it. And then now you got, now you got room for more crap, you know? So look at it that way. Use your crap to store your crap. Yeah, crap to crap like dust to dust. It's like that. I understand how this works.
Starting point is 01:06:29 All right. Well, this is excellent. Great advice as always. Bill, you always leave us with a little bonus something. Although I can't, I'm not in the chat, but I think it still works in there even though we're not live at the moment. Yeah. The chat is still working.
Starting point is 01:06:41 I've got an EVA foam Gundam suit build. The YouTube channel, and I'm going to bunch of this, but I'm trying. I'll just spell it. X-I-A-O-Q-I-A-N-F-E-N-G. Oh, there you go. Safe back. Yeah. Anyway, look her up.
Starting point is 01:07:00 She's fantastic. Her build videos are really, really good, and she builds, build this really crazy-looking Gundam suit. Out of EVA foam. Oh, out of the foam. This is so cool. Just in this first little part, she's already does a cleaner job of cutting foam than I do. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Is there a, have you ever had somebody on a channel do like an amazing foam thing and then reach out to you and say, hey, it's because of your books that I even made this thing. Is that ever happened to you? Yeah, I've had, like, for example, at BlizzCon, I remember running up to someone going, oh my God, that costume's amazing in there. Like, I learned it from your books. I learned it from you, Bill. I learned it from you. It was you. Yeah, so that, that does happen, especially at events like BlizzCon, Dragon Con, that sort of thing.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Oh, I see. So this isn't a suit. She's not in this. This is just a, like, a... I think she puts it on. Oh, she does put it on. There we go. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:53 She didn't move for so long. I'm like, is this like a statue? Like, what's her deal? I don't think she can move very much. It may be a little limited. It's really, wow. Oh, looks so cool. And the colors, the purple and black and gold.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Oh, this is awesome. Yeah. This makes me feel like I'm bad at it. like that thickness of foam looks so much easier it looks like the easiest weight to work with yeah it's really common to go with like 10 millimeter but now that like 8 6 and so on thinner ones are more much more available in big sheets people are experimenting a lot more yeah that's great very very cool uh very nice go check that out again it's hard to spell so i'm not even going to try uh but uh look for EVA foam mecca mecca build
Starting point is 01:08:34 and you'll probably find it uh like a hi meca hi mechaheho there you go hey uh Bill Duran, always a pleasure to hang out with you. I hope you have a fantastic week. Make sure people know where to go. PunishProps.com and Chinbeard. Anything else you want to mention? No, those are too good pleasure. Those are good, right?
Starting point is 01:08:51 Yeah, they're all right. Bill's, there's a sticker on my fridge of Bill in his cartoon form, just like his avatar here on Discord. And right now, there's a word bubble over your head that says, well said, and I don't know why. Who put that there? All right. Yeah, just wanted you to know, saw it this morning when I was getting creamer out of
Starting point is 01:09:09 the fridge and there you were so uh congratulations and well done we'll see you soon all right status update on the stream it's still poo and uh how are you feeling after uh so we're we're about uh half an hour from birds in a drink or maybe an hour from birds in a drink how you feel i feel okay i only got enough to just sort of taste it it's not it's not this you know the poison i was worried it would be at least so far how are you though i had a big old mouthful my stomach's hurting a little bit oh no no little bit of a but i know it could just just be it could be gas you know i'd get gas it could be i mean i still i don't know if you ever took a moment to look what's in there have you looked in no i didn't i mean there's because i'd have to
Starting point is 01:09:49 turn it sideways to read the uh the label and they'll pour pour birds nest all over my foot you should put some in a clear glass just to witness what you put in here oh i don't even know i can't even do it oh i don't want to look at that yeah you may not want to do that it was a bad time so jim we owe you one and i don't mean in a good way well we'll let you know I'm going to buy you a drink next time I see you at the next Nurtak. We're going to retaliate. TMS Vegas event, whatever it is. Something's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:10:16 I'm telling you. Sounds like Mallort. By the way, I guess I'm staying in the, what do they call it now? By the. Oh, in Vegas. Yeah, we were going to do downtown because we always like it down there, like the grand or the whatever. Yeah. Remind me to tell you when you're not telling me where you're staying to tell you about something that happened at the plaza last couple of nights.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Oh, okay. This will be good. So instead, we're now at the, what do you call the thing that, the quad, not the quad, it used to be the quad. Oh, the link. The link is where we are now. We got some killer deal on a thing there, so we're doing that. Well, enjoy it. What?
Starting point is 01:10:53 What's wrong with the link? Tristan and I stayed there for his 21st birthday because it was inexpensive. It's, uh... Is it bad? You know, it's... I like the location. It used to be the Imperial Palace. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:07 And really all they did was just redo the outside. You know what? I'd say it's on par with the plaza. So if you're fine with the plaza, you'll be fine with the link. It's not, you know, it's not Mandalay or Bellagio or it's fine. It's fine. The pool's a little bit of a disappointment. But you know what?
Starting point is 01:11:29 We'll say, you know, I take that back. Because what's nice about the pool is that it overlooks that the walkway between the link and Harrah's. And that's fun to sit there and watch people go by on the zip line and the big high roller wheel and all that. Is the pool clean? Like, pool's clean. It's just, it is a rectangle, it's a rectangle. You know, it's like a, it is, it is, uh, uh, the very minimum that somebody's saying pool would have to create to, to call it a pool.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Wow, you're really selling me on it. You're really killing me. Sorry. Sorry. No, no, no, this is good. Who else would I talk to in my life? But you, you're going to give me the right advice. I trust you. Here's the benefit. Here's what's also good about that. Location-wise, you're just going in there to sleep. You're not going in there to like, let's hang out in the room for hours. No, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right in the middle of everything. So you can go down the link and get a Gordon Ramsey Fish and Chips. or you can go across the way to Caesars and check out the talking animatronics,
Starting point is 01:12:34 or you can go check out the Bellagio Fountains or whatever. You're right in the middle of all these. Yeah, and that was the main reason for the switch. It wasn't so much that it was. It was basically the same price as the Plaza was giving us, minus some fees, which was a little better. But I don't know. I don't know why I thought it was all redone, but maybe I just didn't know.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Before we get to Steven Schleiker, the link I just put in our Discord chat. Yeah. Plaza Hotel. Guy walks into the Plaza Hotel at 3am last week. Carrying a dead coyote. Anyone know why? Kidding me? What the heck?
Starting point is 01:13:08 Really? Oh, this is real. It's real. There's a picture of it. Yeah, it looks like it's been hit by a car from the side of it. I love Reddit comments. Guy says, because it's safer than carrying a live one. And the guy below that, you might be right about that.
Starting point is 01:13:27 This is insane. Someone says it's Marjorie Taylor Green Let's see Seek help Yeah It's um Yeah Maybe well I mean
Starting point is 01:13:39 Not that that'll happen for sure when I'm there But last time I was at the plaza on our own They shut down half of it So Oh really? Weird stuff happens That is a bummer Las Vegas
Starting point is 01:13:48 All right well I may have to come All right hey let's talk let's talk Stephen Schleck Oh yeah Stephen's freaking here even Here you go Steven Schlecker Steven Schleiker Steven Schleiker
Starting point is 01:13:58 Hey Steven Welcome to Broken Stream Day It's good to have you here How are you? Oh hi good The last time I was in Vegas I stayed at the Imperial Palace Oh wow
Starting point is 01:14:07 Geez okay So that's been a while You've basically stayed at the same hotel Interior and all That's got as gonna be staying at Great How long ago was that for you Oh I don't
Starting point is 01:14:16 Imperial Palace isn't even there anymore So it's been what 10 years maybe 10? At least actually Yeah Because it's been the link for
Starting point is 01:14:25 jeez 12 years maybe oh has it oh maybe it's been a while yeah so I remember when it was being built and then you know walking around the outside of it when it was getting redone yeah yeah when it was still called the quad or whatever the quad yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:14:40 and then uh well all right I got to talk to Kim after this I don't know no no you get it'll be fine it's fine I mean it's not like you're staying at circus circus no that's true and we I won't be coming back if that happens we're never you know you can you can stay any time you like. The clowns will take you away.
Starting point is 01:14:56 You can never leave. It's the whole hotel, California. Oh, okay. Yeah, all the clowns take you away and murder you. All right, Stephen, it's good to have you here. Even Sands' chat room, it's still fun to have you here. And we're going to talk about a couple of things. For example, hey, check it out. Suicide Squad
Starting point is 01:15:12 this week. What? So many people excited about this. All the reviews are already out, which is you can tell Warner Brothers is excited about this movie because they lift the embargo. on the reviews the week before. And other reviews are just everybody saying this is a great movie.
Starting point is 01:15:31 James Gunn has been on Twitter saying, yeah, you don't even have to see the first one. It has no relation to the first one. Go and see this. And so, of course, everyone's like, well, is this based on a comic book? I mean, basically, the thing about it is, you know, to say it's not related. I mean, he's obviously talking story and stuff. But, you know, you have some returning actors. and sure uh you got the sars guard guy and you got the uh uh or not sars guard
Starting point is 01:15:59 forgot the killing oh um yeah i always forget this guy's name he's always forget this guy's name he's also Swedish so i lumped him into the sars guards but it's not yes um but you got harley quin coming back and you know these these characters margot roby and uh actually they the only two uh no um the uh the woman uh the lady in charge uh waller yeah yes Amanda Waller, yes. Yeah, she's back. Back and angry as ever. Yeah, she looks great.
Starting point is 01:16:29 The thing is, I'm more excited maybe than ever because I went on a binge for the comics, and especially the 2018-2019 stuff. Really great, really great run. And tonally, it feels like a lot of what this is maybe based on. It also had King Shark involved. Like, there's some real connected stuff to the comics with the recent run. But what I'm hearing is, like, despite, It's irreverence, its level of gore, you know, embracing its R-rating and going very Deadpool in that direction, it still somehow manages to have like a ton of heart and like some really moving character stuff and all of that, which just sounds like James Gunn's bag to me.
Starting point is 01:17:14 So, you know, if this is as good as everyone says, and many of these reviewers are like, I thought Guardians was great, this beats that. I could not be more excited. And it's going to be on max, right? So I get to watch it on my big freaking TV. And it's not even going to cost you 30 bucks. And it's not even going to probably result in a lawsuit either. No. Probably not.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Right. Oh, what do you know about that Black Widow lawsuit? Like I'm not. What do I know about it is I think Disney is probably going to be coughing up some money. Is it? So her case is, I don't know how much you know about it, but this is what I know. apparently and I knew we were talking about this on finally Friday like at the beginning of the year when they kept shifting and shuffling a black widow release date was the reason they were shuffling is because she has an exclusive theatrical release only clause in her contract which you can do that if you're powerful enough actor yeah and so when they finally said oh we're going to put this on on Disney Plus my thought was oh they must have reached some kind of an agreement no apparently not because according to scarlet Johansen she was like uh I've been trying to get a hold of you guys since 2019 and you guys have been ignoring my my request to
Starting point is 01:18:24 see if we can either amend the contract or talk about this or whatever and disney's like oh we already paid you 20 million dollars wow and so if it is truly a breach of contract then yeah she's owed some money yeah and she should get it then this whole like we gave you 20 million sit down and be quiet thing freaking eff that dude well not only that not only that but they doubled down and said in a statement that several people including what's his name, Dave Boutista on Twitter, was just like, not only did you get paid $20 million, but this was terrific exposure for you for your next film.
Starting point is 01:19:03 So essentially the same thing that people always try to do to artists and others. Come work for free. It'll be great exposure for it. Wait, Dave Bistista said that? He didn't say it. No, no, no, no. Disney was saying that, and Dave Bautista jumped all over Disney. He was just like, no, this is a bad look for you guys.
Starting point is 01:19:17 I agree. It is a terrible look because let me tell you the truth. Here's the truth. If this was Robert Downey Jr. or if this was, I don't know, Chris Evans. Now, to be fair, Robert Downey Jr., I think, did make $50 million the last time he appeared in an Iron Man movie. Yeah. Chris Evans only made $15 million in his last Captain America movie, not the, not the Avengers movie, but the last Captain America. Sure. I don't even mean numbers, though. I'm just talking like, honor the damn contract. Right. And that's what I think it boils down to for me, whether people like Scarlett Johansson or don't like Scarlett Johansson or think that Disney can do no wrong or whatever. If it's in the contract and there hasn't been an amendment to the contract made, it seems pretty cut and dry. And the way that Disney's responding to me seems like, yeah, they got caught with their pants down. Now, you would have thought that they would have learned from Wonder Woman 84.
Starting point is 01:20:10 Now you're, I know everybody's screaming. But Stephen, Wonder Woman 84 is from Warner Brothers. Yeah. Remember how everyone screamed up and down, how Warner Brothers is idiots and they don't know how to do anything right? Yeah. At least when they said they were releasing Wonder Woman 84 to HBO Max and Galgadot and the director, now I forgot her name, Patty Jenkins, yeah. Came forward and said, hey, you know, we're supposed to be getting money off the box office.
Starting point is 01:20:33 They worked with them and knocked it out to where they both got, you know, a huge check so that they could take that to HBO Max. Right. And you would think that Disney would have said, hey, what are those idiots doing over there? let us do the same thing, but apparently not. I don't know. I mean, I know it's complicated. I know that the pandemic makes everything more complicated and all of this stuff is weird right now, but man. That was the other thing that Disney, I don't know if you guys read the Disney comments
Starting point is 01:20:57 that they put out, but it was basically, how dare Scarlett Johansson do this during a time of pandemic when she's already been paid $20 million. Yeah, not good enough, guys. Contracts are contracts and amendments are matter and freaking get your poo together. What the heck? I know this is executives. I guess this is going to be, it's going to be settled out of court. Probably, but this is. Because here's the thing that they don't want to happen.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Yeah. They don't want it to go to court. I think Thor, Dark World went to court. And this was, I think, before Disney bought Marvel. But they had to, they had to reveal all of the accounting. And so it really gave us, we rarely get a look at the accounting practices that go on in Hollywood. So if this goes to court and they have to reveal their accounting, it's going to be really interesting. and a lot of people are going to be just combing through all of those spreadsheets
Starting point is 01:21:46 just to kind of see how Hollywood moves money around for each of these movies. So my guess is they're all, I don't think Disney wants that. My guesses are all paying way too much for craft services if I had to guess. There's no way that's not overpriced. Someone's getting... Well, I'm pretty sure Empire Strikes Back or Return to the Jedi one of those two still hasn't made any money. Really?
Starting point is 01:22:09 Yeah. What? Because every time you have to fly George Lucas somewhere, you get to charge that production, the cost of all of that stuff. And if you've got to put him up in a hotel and all the, that's what they do. They charge back to the, to the, to the release, the film release. So pretty soon, like it's going to cost money to, you know, every time this comes up, everyone is just like, no, Empire Strikes. I think it's Empire Strikes Back. Still has not made any money.
Starting point is 01:22:36 It's still in the red. That's really weird to even hear you say that. Yes, Brian. Go ahead. You know, if Scarlett Johansson's not careful, Disney's just going to kill her character off. Yeah, they might just throw her off a cliff, you know? Yeah, exactly. She's not careful. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:54 I don't care how hawk-eyed you might be about trying to stop her. She's probably going to go off a cliff. Spoiler. All right. Anyway. On the plus side, she is a powerful woman in Hollywood. So if she comes up and does this, and a lot of people are like, yes, why is Scarlet Johan? in doing this.
Starting point is 01:23:11 Because if she can do it and set a precedent, that will help people who are not as powerful as she is. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I also hear that, sorry, back to Suicide Squad. I'm hearing things about Pocodot Man that make me very happy, which is. Oh, yeah. David Dalmatian.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Yeah, and if this isn't like James Gunn's great contribution to society, he takes stuff that's obscure, maybe even a little dumb, and makes it great somehow. Groot, Rocket, like, I know there are people who love Guardians in its, and it's pure as silver, or it's, whatever, age form, you know, and always embrace the weird that is Guardians of the Galaxy. But to be able to take those kinds of characters and not only make them work, but make them shine on the screen, who better than James Gunn to take this polka dot man and make him make me give a shit about him? You know what I mean? Yeah. And I'm hearing he's one of the best things about the movie. So I can't wait.
Starting point is 01:24:07 I can't wait to see it. I'm so excited. I think we're going to still try and see it in the. theaters for the full experience. But if not, then I'll be watching it this weekend on on HBO myself. Yeah, we're going to, we haven't, we haven't fully decided, but every time we go, every time we go, should we go back to our first movie? And then I'm like, well, they're doing masks again. Okay. Should we go? I don't know. Or should we use the expensive TV that we bought with our stimulus check? Right. Right. Exactly. I think maybe I'll do that. If I had a 4K TV and this was
Starting point is 01:24:36 just day and date, same price, it'd be like, every day and date cheaper price. Because you don't have to buy tickets and popcorn and all that. That's true. That's why I like HBO Max right now. As much as I think Suicide Squad isn't a bonus. I think it's just part of HBO Max. Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:24:50 Right. You're not paying for movie tickets or popcorn or drinks or anything like that. Who's the girl? Not the same price. Who's the woman that plays? I can't remember her name. Play Sue. Shoot.
Starting point is 01:25:03 The lady who talks to Bloodshot in the train. Oh. She is a French accent. actress she's great dude i've only seen the trailer and i already think she's great something about the something about her in general i'm so excited i can barely stand it all right so that's this weekend uh what day is friday friday friday all right yeah i'm in thursday at 10 10 p.m it really is officially when you can watch it daniela melchior milk milchor milchor is that her she plays rat catcher something about her she's awesome uh all right very well uh very good let's talk about this
Starting point is 01:25:40 Simpsons arcade machines finally coming. Are you getting one? No. No. I know that there's a lot of Simpsons fans, especially today after drinking your little bird's nest thing in there. You want birds nest or Mountain Dew? I'll take the birds nest. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:01 So, yeah, so a lot of people, though, really love that, what does it, came out, I think, in the 90s, uh simpson's arcade game where it's four player everybody goes in on all the action and uh want to get in on playing one of their four favorite characters well that game is now coming uh now on pre-order from uh arcade one up and what arcade one up has been doing i want to say maybe the last two years they have been exploring ways to get the four player action in on those cabinets so i know before we had a um a gauntlet game that was one of the very first games that they had but i think it only allowed for like three players could crowd around that little tiny console. Now they've made,
Starting point is 01:26:43 you know, they've broken out the, the console so that four people can be in each of the four stations and play with enough rooms. I think with adults, I think if the four of us played, it'd be a little crowded. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:26:55 you mean and Scott. Yeah. It would be a little crowded, but, you know, I think for, you know, kids, I think this is perfect.
Starting point is 01:27:04 I would highly recommend if people are going to get this, go with the riser, because that adds an extra foot of height you're not bent over or you're not all sitting around on bar stools or something trying to play this game but if people are interested in that game
Starting point is 01:27:17 and it looks really really good in the demos that I've seen then you might think about pre-ordering that it's like I think I want to say it's 399 yeah and they're using the format of the Teenage Meat Ninja Turtles recent build that they did and the NBA game as well
Starting point is 01:27:33 oh right right which is a lot more room for your hands I have the one with joust Sorry, it does have joust on it, which is why I got it. But it also has gauntlet, and it's just not enough for multiple people. It's just... Yeah, plus you can only, I think, do three people and it's like, what? I know. That's weird.
Starting point is 01:27:47 It's really weird. Right. Who's going to play the wizard and need food badly? I mean, I literally bought that thing for joust, and I'm happy that, you know, rampage is on there and there's like three games on there, but I would, you know, if I was ever going to be like the guy who got it for gauntlet, I'd be disappointed because there's just no room. also they make you use the sticks funny it's like a funky layout one of the player one or player two buttons to fight with it's real left up well that's cool uh get it while they're hot i suppose those those extender stands are nice because they're themed you know and painted and decal properly but
Starting point is 01:28:23 they're so expensive like if you can if you don't care about the theming very easy to make a wooden box just ask uh bill he probably even has the scraps to send you yeah he's got the wood You'll just build it for you. It'll be fine. All right. Well, this is all well and good. I'm sure there will be all sorts of coverage about Suicide Squad, and it's aftermath on Major Spoilers.com.
Starting point is 01:28:42 Hold on. I got one thing I want to talk about. Oh, go ahead. Uh-oh. Because Tina got me some. I was saving it for this. So Tina got me some really cool stuff for my birthday. She got me a new bike seat that is softer for my big fat butt.
Starting point is 01:28:55 She also got me some hiking socks for the trip to Ireland. And then lastly, she sent me up with subscription to this thing on fanhome. This is going to literally be the gift that keeps on giving every month because it is a build your own Iron Man. Oh, yes. I know this. Yeah, MK, whatever armor. Here's the, like, this is the helmet right here. So the first two pieces of the first two models arrived yesterday, and I got straight away to put him together.
Starting point is 01:29:27 Love it. But this is the helmet. This is metal. Like this is probably a good 10 ounces. it's it's got some weight to it even lights up and it's quarter size or half size I can't remember
Starting point is 01:29:40 it looks quarter probably quarter size yeah maybe even smaller than that yeah it's pretty cool this is the company from a fan home yeah and has been doing this and they and I what is it every week every month
Starting point is 01:29:54 they're going to spend you yeah so I've got I got the head and the right foot and then I think next month I get the one of the hands and this is just it's just so cool and it's like
Starting point is 01:30:06 little tiny pieces it's kind of marries my love for Marvel and model building yeah um not having to paint something is really nice and then you're going to end up with a really cool statue when you're done I mean it's going to look really cool yeah yeah fully
Starting point is 01:30:21 I was going to say fan home also has R2D2 as well they have R2D2 they have some fast in the area stuff too right one of The Fast and Furious cars, really, really good quality already. I'm really liking what I've received from this. Yeah, 24 inches tall when it's finally done. There we go.
Starting point is 01:30:44 It's going to be really nice reproduction. Yeah, yeah, I'm looking forward to. I'll keep you guys posted as I put this thing together and put photos up online. Oh, those are nice and big. I'm just looking at it. So I've got these Star Wars figures back here that are 18. Yeah. So that's another, geez.
Starting point is 01:30:59 This is, it says one half scale. That can't be right. I'm sorry. The helmet speaker is one-half scale. Oh, really? So the helmet, the Bluetooth speaker. So that's a separate thing that I get on month 16, I guess. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:13 But what a fun little business model. So this thing's going to be like that tall. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. It'll be your new little buddy. He will be my new little buddy. I like it.
Starting point is 01:31:24 I need to set him up as an early warning device on the house. I like it. Well, this has been great. Uh, as always, Stephen, anything you'd like to say, mention or, uh, do here at the end of your second? So speaking of Suicide Squad, we're actually going to be looking at one of the early John Ostrander, um, Suicide Squad trades this week on the major spoilers podcast. So if you want to kind of get a feel for some of the stories and the way things were told back in the 80s, then you'll definitely want to check out this week's major spoilers podcast. Also, uh, today is rather cool, uh, compared to this past weekend when it got really, really hot. So, uh, if you are outside running about, uh, please, make sure. you stay hydrated. Great idea. I woke up this morning. It was like 66 degrees. I can believe
Starting point is 01:32:06 it. It's so weird. Oh, nice. It's freaking August. That's like that is my, that is my bike rating ideal temperature. Well, I think it's heading your way. We had a, we had a flash flood yesterday downtown. People were walking around in like two feet of water. It was nuts. It was nuts. We don't get that usually ever. What's going on, man? The weather's so weird right now. All right. Let's move on. We do have a mash-up. I know the chat's still hanging in there trying to, some them are hoping that we somehow come back but so far they're like they're hanging out hope or holding out hope i keep starting it and stopping it and it's just never doing it so i don't know i'll keep doing that but in the meantime i'm going to play thank you for the nice birthday gift
Starting point is 01:32:44 twitch yeah thanks twitch you guys are awesome i am going to play this uh monday morning mashup though and uh just the you know i guess the podcast listeners will have to hear it i will be putting the vaid up on twitch because i know a lot of people watch it there so i'll uh i'll take the recorded video and post it on there as well um all right i'm going to play this So this is a Monday morning mashup called. Remember where you came from. Okay. So here it is.
Starting point is 01:33:08 All right. Okay. Don't know what it means. Here you go. Is this actually live? Is this live? I can't believe this. No, we're trying a test here.
Starting point is 01:33:16 Uh-huh. Ah, honey, you got a cockroach in the souffle. Would you like me to wash your dick for you? You knew. your penis. Claire Gak asked, How do you know if a cat is blind? And I responded,
Starting point is 01:33:36 if it licks your butthole. Oh, see, I wouldn't. This is, I learned something that. See? Uh, Poland have sent. Wouldn't that be has or have? Poland,
Starting point is 01:33:45 yes, but it's British. It's BBC. Oh, is that why? Poland have sent six swimmers home. Oh, that does sound better in your accent. Actually, it's funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:53 Just, you know, don't blow out a gasket or, I don't know what, I can't think of anything that would change your... I'll blow like a spray of taint butter all over the bike behind me. That's how you get ahead. It rubs the lotion on the nips or else it gets the chaff.
Starting point is 01:34:08 Polittle or a polittle. Poland. Polidl initially picked 23 athletes. Man, that's one with me. All right. On a roll here. Can't talk worse shit. Maybe doing an English accent will be fine.
Starting point is 01:34:20 Poland initially picked 23rd. I have to do it in Queens. I can't do it anything else. Has to be the Queens English. He's been ejected. Ejected. He's been ejaculated. We've ejaculated him from the show.
Starting point is 01:34:30 Oh, geez. kind of works right it still works I mean what is the technical term I don't want to look it up booted is the technical term right but if like what's in those Harry Potter novels you always hear oh yes yes Ron ejaculated yeah but it usually just means he yelled or yelled
Starting point is 01:34:46 watch out Hermione Aron ejaculated Yeah there it is hey let's talk about my butt I could really go for a cucumber God why did those two get put right together The triumvirate of Brian's duties He's got a third fourth duty but we're not going to talk about that one nope did that duty right after I got up this morning a very very
Starting point is 01:35:01 successful. Oh, good. A delivery. A successful delivery. Well done. If you have a better use for the word ejaculate, I'd love to hear it. So send it in. You know, Carter is all embarrassed in the chat, but I got bad news for her. She doesn't exist without a good ejaculation if you don't upset. Oh, good Lord. All three of my kids don't exist.
Starting point is 01:35:17 It's just true. I know it's weird. Tristan doesn't exist without, you know, a little bit of the old... I just don't feel like I need to remind him. I don't need those visuals in my head of my parents, and I don't want to put those visuals in Tristan's head about his parents Oh man Completely forgot that conversation happened
Starting point is 01:35:39 Wow Embarrassing Very embarrassing All right Well that does it for the show Everybody That means we'll be back tomorrow And the live viewers would argue
Starting point is 01:35:51 That did it for the show about an hour ago They had their show a long time ago But if you're at home and you're listening to this Thinking that well I had to do this because the video doesn't exist, it'll still go up on YouTube and on the VOD after we're done here. I just got to, you know, wait until the show's over and then I'll post it. So if you prefer video, it'll all be there in archive format for those who want it. For those who listen to home like a bunch of normals, you're fine.
Starting point is 01:36:16 You got what you want it. You got what you came for? Nothing different. What's all this talk about something different? I didn't see it. Didn't happen. That's probably what they're annoyed. They probably are annoyed that we keep talking about it.
Starting point is 01:36:26 I don't know. Maybe they are. it's a part of our daily production so it makes things hard but you know for listeners they don't they don't care they're like 99% of our consumers yet look what we do for these people that show up
