Welcome back to TMS. This is the morning stream for August 16th, 2021. It's Monday. Welcome back. I'm Scott, and he's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott. It's another week. It's another Monday. It's another manic Monday, Scott. Is it? Is it, though? Is it? Actually, it probably is. I got a lot to do today. It'll be pretty manic. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, we're here. Brian's wearing a loud shirt. I'm not. And we're going to. We're going to do a show. It's the summer of Hawaiian shirts, ladies and gentlemen. It's the summer of Hawaiian shirts. I'm looking. I see a Captain America Shield.

That's right. Yeah, this is the Marvel one. Way less subtle than the Star Wars one. Yeah. Which, wow, one week ago, I was wearing the Star Wars one to Disney, and I went to Star Wars Land and had some blue milk. Right about now, as a matter of fact. Right about now, I was getting some blue milk in me. Yeah, right about now.

the Funk Soul Brother. And you sent me... While you were there, you sent me a picture of you drinking in a place I didn't know had alcohol. So there's that. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Day drinking.

Brian was day drinking. Day drinking. Yeah, you know, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning. That's what they say. Well, anyway, we're back. We've got a full week. Okay. In a couple of weeks, things get weird.

So enjoy it while you got it because we're going to be normal. We got Ireland coming up for Brian. We got my anniversary coming up. going to be a little bit weird, but we will have shows. They're just a little strange the way they'll fall, but, you know, don't worry your little heads. And I will, and I will be doing some call-ins and stuff. You know, may not, time-wise, who knows if it'll work out to do call-ins with Scott because of the time change? Well, hold on a second.

Hold on. What time is it in Dublin? Okay, it's 4.15 p.m. right now in Dublin. Oh, that's not bad. So, that's not bad. I mean, that's like, oh, check it. into the uh yeah you know checking into the hotel before we get dinner i could do a quick little morning call in before the um uh before the before the before the uh guests and news and all that sort of thing

sure sure a little top of the show uh top of the show we could do top of the show to you we'll call it's our new segment top of the show to you just to be just to be as stupid and as stereotypic as possible. Top of the show to you. Brought to you by TMS. Yeah, that would be cool. And when you're with Claire, that wouldn't be a bad idea

to get a little audio. I don't know. Yeah, that will be around the time that we see Claire, but that will be, that won't be during a show day, I don't think, because of Saturday or Sunday.

Right. Because let's see. We fly. We actually really leave on September 1st, but we get to Ireland on September 2nd. Oh, gotcha. And we go late enough in the day that I could have, I could have done a show on Wednesday, that morning. Do you go back in time at all or forward in time?

How's it work? Forward in time, right? Forward in time. Yeah, we get there. Actually, we travel with the sun. So, no, we're, it'll basically be an overnight flight, but we will arrive the next day. it will still be the next day when we get...

Oh, gotcha. Fair enough. Doesn't that all make sense? I mean, basically, it won't be two days in the future. I got you. When we go to Tokyo, we're doing that. We're leaving on a Monday

and getting there on a Wednesday, but we're not flying for 28 hours, if that makes sense. That's right. Now, that makes totally sense. They call Wednesday, Samurai in Japan, is what I've heard. They do they really?

Yeah, Pops and Recline describes it perfectly. We fast-forward time on the way there. We pause time on the way back, but we don't lose a day on the way there. We just are several more hours ahead. Will you, if something happens, will your photo, I have a view over here, will you fade out of the photo? Yeah, but it'll start at my feet. Yeah.

And you'll be left with nothing but a weird photo of the booth that somebody took in the future for some reason. Right, for some reason, just an empty shot of nothing. Just an empty shot, so that means somebody took a picture of the booth. And you'll know that's happening because you'll be seeing through your hand. It'll be semi-truthers. Correct. Yes. And I won't be able to play the guitar, which I can't anyway. Right.

But your kids are going to love it. All right. Sounds good. Yes. When you said, we'll be traveling with the sun. It sounded like a really pompous way of saying Tristan's going with you, but I know he's going. We'll be traveling with the sun. Yes.

The sun will be there. Yes. Yes. Well, I'm excited. Not on this trip. Brian does your Europe. We'll be the name of that week. And we'll let you know.

know how that goes. I got a Canadian thing to talk about. Let's hope. Let's hope. Let's get to the Canadians. The Canadians are great. We love the Canadians. We're going to talk about Canada today. Here's the deal. Kim and I and Carter were in a car yesterday. It's not a joke. This is real. It's a real thing. Okay. All right. And we were driving, don't remember, oh, we're dropping Carter off at Taylor's. Taylor had to do a big photo shoot. So Carter was going to help her get set up and do some stuff because it was for a whole bunch of little kids. They're doing like preschool kindergarten photo shoots she got hired by her school to do it so that's great it is pretty great it's good money too and uh she needed carders help with some of the sets and stuff because they're doing it

they look like little classrooms and desks how many how many times during that whole process does she have to tell a child to take their finger out of their nose for the photo uh she prefers to tell them to put their fingers in their nose and it has the paradoxical effect of reminding them to not put their finger and they're not. Perfect. All right. That's great. So you got to know how to do it with these kids. But anyway, so we're going to go over there and do that. And we're like, you know, let's stop and get something at a beans and bruise or somewhere. Carter wanted something. So we're like, fine, no problem. So we go through it. It's just for Carter. So she's in the back seat. Kim's at the drive-up window. And I'm sitting over here.

And everything's fine. Carter says or Taylor, Carter goes, well, here's what I want. And Kim goes, can I get a peep a peep a peep and the guy goes yeah that'll be great and Carter goes oh uh without without milk okay behind her head without milk and Carter and Kim goes pulls her head

hears her and then goes forward to the mic again and goes can I get that without milk and I laugh I laugh and then I feel a swift punch to my chest because Kim doesn't like it when I laugh at her in drive-ups it's a real thing for us so what I was laughing at is it sounded like a Canadian like she confused

she confused something the Canadian would say even though I know it's Oot and not Oat but something about saying with Oat Milk with Oat Milk or with Oat Milk sounds kind of like you're saying without milk which is what she didn't we just thought it was funny and cute but man she hit me hard right in the chest was like bam nice good well deserved I still have this little red mark right here

and she hates it when I do that. Like if she's at a drive-up and she says something that messes up or the guy comes back and was confused or if any of us go, oh, make sure you ask for whatever after we've already supposedly told her what we want, it's like one of her biggest, she hates

it. She can't stand it when we do this to her. Here's the equivalent with Tina. We'll be watching a movie and it's some dramatic scene, something sad happens to one of the characters and she starts, you know, tearing up a little bit and she starts like wiping her eyes or getting a tissue.

And I look over at her, and that's all I need to do is look at her when she's tearing up from a movie. And she gets mad at me and wants to punch me. I do the same thing to Carter. And she hates it when I see her cry. But I do it on purpose. Like, hey, we're going to watch that new Pixar movie. I'm sure there'll be nothing emotional in it. It'll be fine.

And then we'll watch it. She'll cry, just like Tina. I'll look at her. Kind of like this face. I'll go, like, well, look it up. And she'll just like, bam, bam, and just start punching me in the arm. But anyway, this is what we do to torment the women in our lives. The women in our lives.

It's totally true. Or I do it to Nick, too, but I just don't see him as much. Yeah. How's he doing? He's fine. He was actually working a place we visited yesterday while we're out driving around. He's got, I don't know why he's doing this, but he's currently got three part-time jobs that he really likes equally. And he's waiting for one of them to offer him full-time, and he'll take whichever one it is.

So wait, is he just back home for the summer from Red Wing? No, he's done. Didn't I tell this story on the show? I thought I did. Did I not tell the story about Nick? I don't remember if you did. Oh. I don't remember it on this show.

Maybe you told it on Skim or, you know, maybe it could have been during nap time, which is usually a jury. Right, right. A Tuesday or something. All right. Well, just the short of it is he was in, you know, Minnesota, was going great, was working for Red Wing. He got an offer to go work in, uh, uh, Portland, Maine.

Okay. I do remember that. Yeah. And a company was like, hey, we want to pay to bring you out here. We're going to pay you more. We're going to do all this stuff. We're going to have you manage this stuff. We're going to blah, blah, blah, blah.

It was like super exciting and cool. And he was stoked about it. So he applied. They said, yes, you're perfect for this. Let's do it. They negotiated his pay and everything else. It was all set to go. And to the point that he had gotten out of his lease early in the place of Minnesota,

which immediately got swooped up by somebody else. So there was no staying there. Yeah. He also had quit his job at Red Wing at the Red Wing headquarters there, all ready to go. His car gassed up, ready to go to Portland. And about a week before all this was supposed to happen, those guys totally yanked the carpet underneath them. The people that offered him the job were like suddenly like, oh, we've had something come up. We can't do it now.

This isn't going to happen. So he has left like, oh. Well, I'm in the middle of nowhere, I got no, and they're not going to pay the money they were going to pay to move him, because that was part of the deal, is they were going to throw him a couple of grand to get all this stuff to Portland, to Maine. And it didn't happen. So as a result, he was like, well, what am I going to do? Do I scramble and try to figure something out here? Or is the cheaper thing just to fill the car up and go home? Like, let's go back to Salt Lake and do it. And that's what they did. So he did. So he came back here and he's currently, like I said, three One of them is, I forgot what they call it. It's basically a private club for guys that are like big wiggy millionaire types that go in there and get their shoes done and like smoke a cigar on the veranda and just, it's like some kind of fancy gentlemen's club. Like a country club but not attached to a golf course or what. Yeah, it's just like a place where they all go in there and I don't know. It's like a private club for men sort of, but it's not.

It's not a gay. It's not a gay club. A place. As you work at the Blue Oyster. No, it sounds like a place that you and I would never be invited to go, and we're just fine with that. One thousand percent agree with you. But the nice thing is, they tip huge. So if they come in and they get their shoes done, like he'll belly up and do somebody's shoes. And it's like a shoe shine type thing, you know.

Yeah. And they'll tip you 50 bucks. It's like, here, here's 50 bucks. Here's 100 bucks. Here's whatever. like these guys are loaded and so the reason it's interesting is because

it's pretty highfalutin oh this squeeze played there in a private concert shut up really yes I'm meant to tell you this squeeze played there and I could have gone had Nick worked there then but it was right before he got the job

so I couldn't go who was the other band another band from something from the 90s it was a big deal and they performed there crap wow filter filter perform there Filter, really. Yeah.

Yeah. So I picked up a Mojo magazine this last weekend because there was an article about crowded house that I wanted to read and there was a CD stuck to the front. And apparently this, now that I'm saying it out loud, apparently this music or this magazine must have come from 1997. But why don't they do a digital thing? Mojo Magazine, just give a printed code and let the people, anyway. But going through that, it just makes me so sad, right? because it's talking about concerts in the UK. Sure.

And this fall, madness touring the UK with Squeeze as their opening act. Blondie touring the UK with garbage as their opening act. And orchestral maneuvers in the dark touring the UK with Scriti freaking Politi as their opening act. And it's like these are bands that I would pay top dollar to see. here in the States. And guess what? Hall and Oates is coming to the U.S. or not coming to live here, I guess.

But Holland Oates is touring the U.S. And guess who's opening for them? Squeeze. And guess what day they're doing that show, the day I leave for Ireland. Oh, man. Screw you, man-eater. Wow.

Hall and Oats with Squeeze opening? That's weird. Hall and Oates and Squeeze, man. I know it is. It does seem like a weird, but I mean, there was that whole blue-eyed soul crossover. Yeah, that's true. Plus, they're just, I don't know, there's a hipster.

Here's your HoloNotes to Squeeze connection. You're ready? Yeah, go. Hollow Notes, original performers of the song Every Time You Go Away, which was a big hit for Paul Young. Paul Young is one of the two backing vocalists, along with Elvis Costello, in the background of Squeez's Black Coffee in Bed. Oh, wow.

There's your connection. Wow, that's a pretty good crossover. So hold on a second. Every time you go. That one? Yeah, that was originally Hollow Notes before it was Paul Young. You take a piece of me. That one? That's the one.

What is that from movie-wise? Why is that ringing bell? They did a crappy cover of that at the end of planes, trains, and automobiles. And the less we talk about that, the better. That's the one. It is a bad cover. It is the worst cover ever, yeah. But I associate the tune, the melody, so strongly with that movie. I can't take it out of it. Yeah. I think it's while he's on the train. Oh, no, it's after the train when he shows up, when they go to the house. And he goes back for Del, picks him up to take him back to his house and have Thanksgiving dinner and that song is playing.

And for some reason, he rings the doorbell. Like, he lives there, but he rings the doorbell to his own damn house. That was really weird. But she's up on the wife's up on the stairs. Oh, and here's a fun crossover. So the wife up on the stairs, she was the head of the organization, the little secrety organization in the boys. Oh, really? Yeah, she got killed, though, right?

Sorry, spoiler. There's a, there's a death. in the boys uh but i want to say in season one she may have gotten shot i don't remember but oh well that's the actress wouldn't be wouldn't surprise me she's the older lady who uh does stuff and she's great she's really cool anyway well that was a fun that was a fun work that was a fun little tangent yeah yeah so nick's technically here in salt lake city again and uh cool doing fine he's good for him good yeah i'm sure it's good for you guys to have him back yeah he's not living here but he's you know he's he's in the city so we see him and went saw him yesterday and you'll be

over tonight for some other stuff. And anytime he needs lunch, guess what? He shows up and gets it. Because that's what you do when you're, you know, your vagabond son of a cooking mother who made a big batch of jambalaya yesterday. Right. You just bring your own Tupperware and, uh, oh, her jumbleaya is really good right now. Her, this latest batch, holy shiz. If you guys are making it at home, let me, I got a new idea for you. You take the, uh, the sausage and you, and you burn it a little bit. Not a lot, just, like, kind of sear it on the outside before you chop it up. I don't know what that did, but... Seals in the juices when it cooks in the...

Something. In the stew. So good. Oh, I just want more of it right now, but it might be gone now. We ate it really fast this time. All right. I got a sense... I got to play something that Gus sent us, okay?

All right. Gus sent this in, and it's just a fun thing to play. I'm actually going to pause the YouTube because I think YouTube's going to ding me for this, so it's Oh, really? It's really short, so I don't think Twitch will care, but YouTube gets weird with their robots. So I'm going to pause this video. But the people can still hear us live. So here we go.

He just sent this in with no explanation. This is from Gus. Yeah, you feed us lies from the table apart. Oh, that's fantastic. I was like, where is this going? I know. Isn't that great? And then it's some of your screams from Resident Evil.

Yeah. He just said he had to do it. And I'm always, always happy to play weird shit you guys send us. So keep that stuff coming. That's absolutely hilarious. Well done. I had an interesting weekend, Scott. So went over on Saturday afternoon to the neighbor's pool.

Crazy neighbor's pool for, yep, a little bit with some of the other. their neighbors. We kind of all got together and hung out. And Tina and I were heading up to Boulder for dinner and so that she could try a new lens. She bought for the trip. And so we got out. We're towling yourselves off. And I feel

this tremendous sharp pain in my garotchal region. Oh. As I'm as I'm towling off. I'm like, what the heck? Your loins? In your loins? My loins. In my loins. But like a like a bite or a

sting or something and it's it's about uh uh two inches to the right when i look down so to the left if you're looking at me uh from you know the the the business end of the the business end of the brine um and you know i'm like i'm like trying not to be obvious about but i'm like feeling around there for like is there a bee in there or a spider or something like that because something something really sharp or a splinter or who knows what um i get back to the house to change into dry clothes and I look and sure enough something stung or bit me and it's still I put on some cortisone cream and I used this we get this little this little suction tool that we use for mosquito bites and it took the sting away immediately this was really cool and and I think some venom I mean there was

liquid there was some venom that came out of this thing but it's like a little a little plunger suction thing that you that you use got out the bad sting but I still don't know it's still it's a white dot with a like a white bump with red all around it

is spreading it all any kind of not infection but like allergic or anything to it no I mean it's it's spread initially and hasn't gone further than the initial spread okay yeah so I don't know my guess is that there was a spider

hanging out in the towel and that when I started drying off, that spider said, F this, and then. Gosh, dang it, dude. I don't like stuff like that. Because it could have been like,

I don't know. You guys get the brown recluse? We get brown reclusees out here. We do have black widows. I know there's a corner of the basement here where I constantly am getting rid of black widows. So who knows? But, I mean, if it was a black widow,

I'd probably be a lot. I'd probably be sick right now. Yeah, probably, you would probably, it'd be worse, yeah. Yeah, my guess is it was a wolf spider and I'm waiting to see if I can stick to walls and howl at the moon so I can be Wolf Spider-Man. Well, that was the other thing I was going to ask is

did you, you know, any superpowers, anything manifest itself since the... Nothing yet. I had a bloody nose last night that wouldn't stop, but that's not really a superpower, is it? Is that a... No, it feels like a super problem sometimes. It's like infinite bloody nose man. Yeah, that's no good. My dad used to get those, used to get the worst bloody noses. My sister had terrible bloody noses. She'd wake up in the morning and her bed would be soaked in blood sometimes.

Like, what the heck, man? I never get bloody noses, ever. I don't know why. Rarely get them. Rarely get them, but I think it's just because of the smoke and how dry it's been lately. Yeah, that stuff's been bad. We have our own fires now, so now I can't even blame California. We've got like our own fire stuff, and we'll send some of that your way, so enjoy our fire. Oh, I know. I saw the map.

I said, it's coming. Yeah. Really quick. One last thing before we bring Brian Dunnway in here. When I saw Free Guy yesterday. And enjoyed it tremendously, Ryan Reynolds and Jody Comer from Killing Eve. I don't like her. She's great. I like her a lot. I mean, basically, hey, Tina sits there and looks at Rand Reynolds the whole time during the movie.

I can sit there and look at Jody Comer the whole time during the movie. She's the assassin lady from the killing Eve, right? She's the assassin. She's Villanelle, yes. Yeah, she's awesome. I have similar crush, by the way. I got the same vibe about, I know these people are all waiting to, young for us to have crushes on, but

she reminds me of that Florence Pugh is a lot like Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of Yeah. She's also got her eyes based apart like Anya Taylor Joy. Oh, wow. In the Vivitch. The Vivitch. In the Vovic. Yeah. Not the upcoming Mad Max sequel. The Queen's Gagambit. But the Vavich, yeah.

That's the one. Did they get the video game stuff right? Are I in trouble here? Yes. He's a non-player character that through a series of unusual events is able to see what the players see in this huge MMO game that he's a part of and hilarity ensues. I'm in. I'm in.

It is really good, and there's a lot of deep cuts for video game players and a great cameo that, that I won't spoil. Oh. Oh. A completely unexpected cameo that, uh... Not Taika Waititi.

We knew about him. Yeah, no, he's, he's very prominent. He's the bad guy. Yeah, he's, he's like a cask member in there. You first see him, it is like, is Tycoe Wattiti wearing a prosthetic chain? No, he just has a really strong jawline. That's his actual chin. Yeah, they didn't have to do much to make Kronk or whatever his name is,

because that chin is just about the same as his real chin. Corg, yeah. Cronk. Uh-huh. Crunk. So he, I assume he's great. and wonderful in this, yeah. Yeah, it's a really, it's a fun show.

I called it on Twitter. I called it a rom-com. Get it, a ROM-com. Mm, yeah. Like a RAMCOM, but a read-only memory com. Nice. I'm into it. I want to see, I want to see it.

So I'm glad you liked it. It's a bummer. It wasn't day-and-date streaming somewhere so that you could check it out as well. But it does sound like the dumbest thing concept-wise. It seems so dumb, but everybody I've talked to is, Like, no, no, no, they got it figured out. They did it right. It's great.

Yeah. And, yeah, and you don't get, like, other video game characters making appearances in this, if that makes sense. Right? You don't get Pac-Man all of a sudden. Somebody's saying, like, like, pixels, right? I'm like, no, not like pixels. Not like pixels.

Well, see, there's a good example. Pixels on paper is dumb, and it also turns out to be executed. On the screen turns out. Yeah. So sometimes these things, get pulled off. I always think of like Galaxy Quest shouldn't work. Totally does. Right. That's a good comparison. Yeah. Fargo

the TV show. Shouldn't work. Totally does. Like, you can do this stuff. You can pull it off, man. You just have to have the right people involved, and it sounds like they did. So I am in. All right. I'm going to call Brian Dunaway, and we're going to play a game. We didn't get to do this at all last week, so I'm kind of excited about this. Yeah. I missed it. I missed our little game shows, too.

Yeah, it was way fun. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do, the three. three days that I can stream while you're gone, because I won't do a TMS, I don't have all the things I need. They should totally stream. I think... I could do, like, little game shows or something. You should totally stream something fun. I don't know what,

but that's... I was thinking I'd stream some video games, but we could also do, like, a little game show with contestants and all that. Yeah, look at you putting on the hosty pants for the video... Sure. For the game shows. All right. I'm going to play this here button right here. Now, you all know what that

means when I play that. It means it's time to welcome Brian down the way to the show who joins us from South Carolina and does every Monday and Wednesday when we have our little game shows. Hello, Brian. Hello. Oh, hi Scott and Brian. Hi. Hello, Brian. Hi. How are you guys? Pretty good, man. Pretty good. It feels like we just talked to you for two and a half hours on Saturday.

It's ridiculous. I've had it up of both of you. I'm out. You're out of here. It was, that was weird because I think we just, everything about Suicide Squad and then everything around it is just such our jam. The Suicide Squad. All right, the Suicide Squad.

That we just, I don't know, we just got carried away and nobody felt like we were going over. It just went long. That's because you weren't looking at the Discord. I was going, Scott, enough. I got to go. I need to poo. Shut this thing down. Well, anyway, it's good to have you here.

It was good times. We're going to play some, what do we play here? This is, what are we calling us? Do, do. This version of it we call the Morning Squirm. Brian, you'll explain to us how this works and who might. be winning today or who might be pointing? That's right. Yeah, welcome to the morning

squirm, a back and forth trivia game where players will match what's on topics that Cliff Claven would have offered up at the Cheers Bar. Scott and Brown are going to take turns answering multiple choice trivia questions, and if they get their question wrong, the other player gets a point. The player with the most points, after five

questions, wins the prize for their contestants, and we're pulling contestants from members of the tadpool that can't be here live. So, Scott, you're playing for Rasmus. from Helsingborg, Sweden. Oh, sweet. Good luck, Rasmus.

And Brian, you're going to play for David from Houston, Texas. So good luck with Rasmus and David. David. I'm so proud of us. We've grown up so much. Have we? Yeah, 10 years ago, if you had it said so-and-so was from Sweden, there would have been a Sweden accent,

and then you would have said something about Texas, and then I would have tipped my hat and said something to Texas. But we don't need that. Yeah, well, sometimes we still do. If we talk about Ireland, all bets are off. So that's just... Oh, well, Ireland, that's different. That's everybody's jokes.

That's different. That's everybody's joke. It's just funny that we didn't go bork, bork, bork, bork. Right, yeah. But you did now. So now we've reverted back to our childish size. I can't remember who won last week. So let's say, Brian, you get the first question.

Sure. Okay. I actually won, so that's perfect. You should start. You did? Oh, that is perfect then. All right. Ladies.

Oh, ladies. Yeah, I'm on this. If you think your new lipstick looks killer on you, you might be right. It could actually be deadly. A 2013 study found that 75% of tested lipsticks contain this toxic material. Oh, okay. Is it? A, mercury.

B, arsenic. C, lead, or D, hydrogen sulfide. I don't know, but isn't it like? made from like pig parts or something. Isn't that the joke has got the fat set? Is it a whale blubber or something, isn't it? Or is that

am I thinking of something else? Who knows? You're thinking of my ass. The whale barf is a different thing, but that's like perfume, right? Yeah, that's ambergris. Is that right? Ambergree? Yes, the whale fat thing. Yeah, that's weird. I'm actually

going to, for some reason, before we even read the ones, arsenic was hit in my head for some reason, even though I don't know why. I'm going to say arsenic. Brian says arsenic, is that the correct answer? No. You know what I was thinking of? I was thinking of the flavor aid

at Jones Town. Oh, yeah. Also probably thinking of all those cigarette commercials. That too. Flavored in Jonestown. All right. Scott, you get the point. But do you also want to guess? Mercury, lead, or hydrogen? sulfide. I'd say mercury.

Mercury is also incorrect. Interesting. Damn it. Lead. How else they make them shiny? 75% of tested lipstick. I was going to bring I was going to blame the Chinese. I know there's been, you know, all the lead problems from products coming in. Is that the reason

why? Is it manufactured primarily? I didn't. I didn't go that deep to get answers. Yeah, duh. You xenophobia? Just throwing it all on the Chinese like this. Look at this. Well, dude. That was a problem for a while we were they were there was a whole a whole movement yeah i think that was like a year or 10 years ago by the way yeah well i'm not saying yeah but no you're right there were

different standards for manufacturing but isn't there lead oh let i'm thinking of iron yeah no lead's bad no lead yeah let's bad don't lick the paint kids yeah don't lick the paint whatever you do all right uh scott this question is for you if you grew up watching tv every day you saw about 16,000 of these by the time you turned 18. Is it? Drug commercials, cartoons,

movie trailers, or murders. Oh, this is a hard one. Those are good. 16,000 of these by the time you turned 18. I'm going to go with the murders.

It feels right. Scott says murders, the correct answer? Or is that the correct answer? Yes, it is. Yeah, look at that. That's a lot of murders.

Holy shit. Jeez, Louise. It seems like that would be, so that was an average, right? You saw about 16,000, yeah, so average. Yeah. I mean, think about it every time. Yeah, I was going to say, like, every action show we liked when we were younger, every episode of everything.

No one died on the 18. Nah. Did? Probably not. Someone died. It was probably like, uh. Right. Someone died.

Simon and Simon. Somebody died on Simon and Simon. every week. Every week. When they met, it was deadly. Yeah. Well, I know people died on Magnum P.I. and Knight Rider and...

Yes. Mike's given Dunaway heat air. It says, no, Dunaway. Exactly 16,000 murders. Well, I was just thinking, I know. I know. That would be the opposite of what I would think. But no, no, no.

I was just saying it just seems odd. Because I don't feel like I saw nowhere near that many murders, but I wasn't watching the same things as other people. Well, I also think. part of this whole statistic is that we think we didn't, but we really did, or whatever? Like, isn't that the, that's the whole point? It's like, oh, wow, you saw a lot more than you thought you saw.

I thought you were going to say serial commercials, and I would have believed it. I'm about to fact check these people. 1,600.000. $1,000.000. Kissed my butt. Let me see. Yeah, yeah. How old was I supposed to be? Well, you were.

18. Yeah. Oh, I know that. What year? Because I turned 18 many different. I didn't turn 18 at the same time everybody else did. Right, right. I don't know. You know, that's a funny thing. It says 18 years of television watching every day. But if you started back in 1960, you'd see far fewer murders that if you started in 2001, for example. Interesting.

I wonder if there's a statistic that says how many boobs you've seen in that amount of time. And if it's actually an odd number because we all saw a total recall. That's right. Do you count each one? or do you count as a pair? No, it's because we saw Total Recall and there's a third boob in total recall. That's right. Sure, yeah.

So that's not really a pair, is it? No. It throws off the average. No, it's a trifecta of boobs. Hey, Marge, guess how many boobs I saw today? Thirteen! See? That's exactly what he would say.

All right, Scott, this question, oh, no, I'm sorry, Brian, this one goes back to you. Speaking of death, if you live in the United States, we're not sure how you're going to die, but the most likely place for you to die is... Watching TV. On Magnupi. A, a hospital. B, a nursing home. C. in your own home or D. in bed.

Interesting. All right. Just from the sheer volume of times that humans spend in bed versus those other locations would make me think that in bed would be the most likely place to die. in bed is incorrect and it's dumb how this question is worded because yeah we'll get to that in a second uh point goes to scott the other three again yep in a hospital in a nursing home or in your own home where are you most likely to die uh see that's where he got me uh it'd be own home then because i think that's what you're saying the bed is a specific part of a own home but it's probably the home overall right

That is also incorrect. The hospital. But chances are, if you're in a hospital, you're in a bed, and if you die, you're in a bed in a hospital. And it's your bed. No one else can have it. You know what? So I'm taking the win.

No. It may. You know what? You know what the statistic tells me? You know what the statistic tells me? Don't go to the hospital. You'll die. Great.

Yeah. You're more likely to die there. That seems like a really great idea to have to take away from this. Well done. Yeah. No, it's a poorly worded question, but Scott still gets the point. I love it. Scott, the record for the longest time spent without sleeping, is held by Randy Gardner, and is, A, five days, B, 18 and a half days, C, 13 days, or D, 11 days.

So 5, 18, 13, or 11. Or E, Randy's full of shit. Randy Gardner sounds like Horny Gardner to me. Let's do, I don't know. I don't know. 18. I'll say 18. 18.

All right. Is it 18 and a half days? It is not. Brian gets the point. Brian, your remaining choices are five days, 13 days, or 11 days. I think five days is the max you can go without sleep, right? I mean, yeah. All right.

You're saying five? I'm going five, baby. Five is also. incorrect 11 days Randy Gardner went without sleeping 11 days I want to know if they watched him or also I'm sure I mean good I can barely stay awake Guinness World record off and say hey I've been awake for 11 days for 11 days could you could you jot that down yeah is that also I assume it's not with the help of like drugs stimulants things like that probably was with the help of like caffeine

could have been I imagine coffee yeah I I can barely stay awake for 24 hours without taking micro naps that are not, you know, yeah. It's like, for me, like, eight hours is a stretch. It's the struggle. This whole show for me, man. Last night has like 10.30. I'm like, why am I so freaking tired at 10.30? And it didn't matter.

I was just going to bed. That's how it was. Yeah. All right. This one goes back to Brian. He got the point for the last one, right? He did get the point in the last one. Yes.

Yeah, because it, yes. Yep. All right, Brian. On average, a person walks by 16 of these during their lifetime. Another average, by the way, Brian, it's not an exact number. Just letting you know. Okay. Is it a... You say one thing one time. It suddenly is Baby Shark every week. Dude, that may as well be my nickname on this show. I say one thing, one time, and it haunts me forever. So, welcome to the club. All right, on average, a person walks by 16 of these during their lifetime. Is it? A, murderers. B. billionaires, C, CIA agents, or D, people who will die that very same day. Whoa. Okay, so 16, so that's interesting question.

In a lifetime, you'll walk by 16 of what kind of people? I think it's got to either be murder or deaths because you would never know if you walk by a CIA, so how would you even track that? How would you even know? Did the CIA agents say? I don't know. Oh, interesting. They probably figure like a number of CIA.

CIA agents compared to the populace and you walk by them. Right. I mean, how would they know murders? Like, they're not wearing a sign that says, oh, murder. All these trivia questions have been hard to verify, except for the staying away thing, apparently, on average. I was going to say died that day. Yeah, 60 people died that day.

60 people who will die that very same day? Incorrect. I am doing terrible today. You are, yes. Murderers, billionaires, or CIA agents? I don't think it's billionaires. They're way too small of a percentage. 16 in a lifetime, my friend.

Eat the rich. Let's go with... Eat the rich. Let's go. It's weird as it sounds. Let's do CIA agents. I mean, is this a U.S. These are U.S. statistics, I assume.

This isn't worldwide. It doesn't say. Oh, geez. adds a weird wrinkle to it. I'll say to CIA agents. I don't know. Okay. All right. CIA agents is also incorrect. Yeah, bring you sure done with your first thought.

It is murderers. You'll walk by 16 murderers in your lifetime on average. Now I can see your theme. Now I should have answered murderers every time. But it's too late now. You know what that means? You know what it just hit me? That means that part of that statistic is the one person who only,

ever saw one murderer their whole life, and it was their murder. So they died after they saw this murder. Do you see what I'm saying? That's part of those numbers on the low end. Sure. That's what's known as averages, Scott. Yeah, I don't like that. That's a really disturbing average.

I don't like it. I wonder how many of those are in Vegas, like walking down the strip. All 16. You got my whole 16 on one trip to Vegas. You get one. You got to go as far as the space needle thing, but you'll get all 16. It'll be fine. I really want to know how I need to, I need you to send me, no, I'll just go back.

I'm going to look at every one of those questions, and I'm going to figure out how they figured these out, because I am so curious how they know that as a statistic. It's pretty weird, yeah. I mean, I'm sure it's like, well, we all walk past this many people a day, and there's as many murders, and that would be this, and look, I can do math. Yeah. But anyway. Me good at math. Me good at math. Friend.

Friend. Hand. Peace, Medicare. Bird. All right. Where are we? Who's turn? That's it.

Oh, that's it. You won, Scott. Oh, I won. I win. Winner, winner. No, five questions. It's pretty easy since I didn't get any. Yeah.

Congratulations to Rasmus from Helsingberg. You're getting a copy of Milky Way Prince and Pa-P-Paw on Steam. Pa-p-p-pah. No idea. And, but don't worry, DeVeed. You're not, you're not showing. up and leaving empty-handed, you're getting a copy of Effie

on Steam. Yeah, Effie. I actually think he may have gotten the cooler game. That's a pretty good game. Really? Effie's a good game? Yeah. The other two I have never heard of, so they might be good. Listen, Milky Way Prince the Vampire Star, sounds like uh... Sounds like you should be a great game. Yeah, it sounds

like a real good time. I'm sure it's made by the people who brought you pigeon dating simulator. Yeah. Oh. Which is probably a real thing. All right. Hey, later today, speaking of weird indie games. That's at me and Brian Dunaway cover on the Boop Show. And that's happening today at 3.30 Mountain Time. So if you're around and you want to hang out with us and talk about

cool games from the more indie side of the business, that's what we'll do. And that'll be today at 3.30 right here at frogpants.tvy. Brian Dunaway, anything you'd like to add to that or mention or say? Sure, man. We're going to talk a little bit about Boyfriend Dungeon. We're

going to hit the Dunge. Now on the Xbox Game Pass. Is a dating, is it a dating simulator slash hack and slash? Yeah. You date your sword, basically. You date your sword. Yep. Your swords are men, handsome men.

You date them and you use them to chop down enemies. And we're going to talk about that and other crazy crap on the boob show. That may sound really dumb and weird, but it's a hit. I feel a lot of fun. Yeah, people really dig it. All right. Brian, have a great day. See you later.

Bye. All right. Brian, we now enter the phase of the show where we take a break. When we come back, we're going to do stuff with Bill and Stephen. Stephen's in a remote location. I don't know where he's actually at, but he's not going to be where he normally is. So we'll see how that is. Right. So he better sound good.

Yeah, no pressure, Stephen. I see him in the chat. All that and more coming up before that, a song brought to you by, I guess, soundography. What's going on with that today? Brought to you by Soundography. Brand new episode just went on the feed today. for Soundography. It's our last you've got to listen to this before we start

getting into our regular shows. This time it's my turn. I make Hammond listen to the Trashcan Sinatra's 1990 album cake, which was a huge album when I was growing up. That was such a classic. And we analyze it. We go in depth

and did Hammond like it? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out that's over there at Soundography.com. Nice. All right. Indie in the middle today. Comes to a via Utah by way of North Wales and Los Angeles. This is a band called The Joy Formidable.

These are their release of their anticipated album Into the Blue. Let's see, this is their second album follows their critically acclaimed kaleidoscopic 2018 album, Chalidoscopic A-A-R, I'm sorry, Arth, I guess is what it's, A-A-A-R-T-H, Arth. um you may have seen them on uh on tour with the foo fighters these guys were the opening act for the foo fighters for foo fighters on their north american tour um and they were also invited by the cures robert smith to play his meltdown festival in london and the pasadena daydream fest in l a

so these guys are definitely getting some notoriety and some attention uh from their brand new album into the blue here is the joy formidable and the song the title track into the blue and they're from here they're i mean they're here now. They're from Utah. Yeah. Okay. I got to play this. Utah Connections. That's the rule. I don't make the rules. That's just the rule. All right. Well, awesome. Let's play it. Here it is. And we'll be right back. You see, me, for what I am, I don't have to guess anymore. That's slow down, there won't speak up, it gets just enough than withdrawers. Because things go bad, but it's real and there. Better than slowly emptying me.

Into the blue Into the blue once again Just one big wave Just one big way Just one big wave When I watch you from across the way, everything's still till I hold you again. Just that moment I'll be inside.

Just let's let you into you. Because I'll be here, oh, inside, outside. Grateful, we at least found something. We ran into the blue. Into the blue once again Because now I see This place Was here along the morning

Change shape You pull me close Oh please pull me closer Don't feel the move move out of the past The time take your hand and guide you It's time to move Into the blue once again

I know it's rare when you tremble again, remember what others have lost. go again did I make the most of it before that goes back to the place that we won't go again to live it over and over

into the blue into the blue once again yeah Just one big way Just one big way Just one big wave Just one big wave

Don't feel the move Out of the past Let time take your hand and guide you Into the blue Into the blue Into the, into the outside without you I'm sorry without you. The computer will return after deciding your punishment.

I can't get close to those kryptonite horseshoes. The morning stream. Fred goes in, toast comes out. You can't explain that. All right, we've returned, everybody. Welcome back to the program. Brian, that song again. That is, Into the Blue, performed by the band, The Joy Fremittable.

It's the title track from their new album, which comes out Friday, August 20th, so go check out The Joy Formidable. Sorry, I had to clear my throat, and it was the worst timing ever. That sounds awesome. I also love it when a local band does good, so that's great. All right. We are going to

now add our good pal Bill to the show. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Bill Durandapotpunchprops.com joins us from the Pacific Northwest. Bill, what's going on, man? Hello, there are two cats very near me, and they're growling at each other.

Oh, are they both years? Yes, they are. Well, that's a good sign. Yeah. You know what that means, though. Any minute now, chaos, right? Yeah, so if that happens, if I just disconnect, it's because the house has been destroyed. Yeah.

I've seen some fights with cats on TikTok lately. I don't know what's going on there, but who boy, howdy. Anyway, hey, it's Bill, and I love having you on. It's been a bit, though. We didn't have you last week, and we missed you terribly. So why don't you fill us, fill our lives full of good maker goodness today. What's going on? All right.

Well, I've been keeping busy. And what I've been keeping busy with is some computer numerical control. That's right. What? C and C. I've been learning how to C&C metal. I had no idea. That's what CNC stood for.

Computer numerical control. No idea. Yes. No idea either. I had no idea. I thought it was the C&C music factory is what it stood for. everybody dancing i just i just set off our Alexa everyone's panicking happens here all the time don't don't feel um yes so like your your 3d printer is a is a

cnc machine it it uh controls a tool in some way uh to create a thing now i've done some some of this in the past cam is what you would call it computer aided machining yeah but i've never done it with metal and uh i'm here to tell you there's a lot to learn And the mistakes are expensive, or more expensive than with, like, wood or something else. Sure. So, Cat is computer-assisted drawing, and Cam is computer-assisted drawing, and cam is computer-assisted machining. And they work together, and I've been using Fusion 360.

And just, like, with, like, a 3-D print, you start by making your 3-D model. So I have a project I'm working on. It's a guard for a sword, like a flat piece of metal with a thing carved into it. And I 3D modeled that And then I'm able to use the machining tools In Fusion 360 to create a whole bunch of different operations To go and cut all of those parts out with my machine Sure

It is of course far more complicated than that But that is the gist of it You tell the machine This is what the tool looks like I'm going to use To go cut out this piece So here's kind of the plan I have that and then the computer figures out all the little pads, little machine pads it has to take for you. In terms of like materials, it's, there are other kinds of, like you can do wood in some

seeing machines, seam machine machines. Like that's not even the part that really matters. If you're things capable of cutting metal, it'll do metal. If it does wood, it'll do wood, it maybe do all, you know, both those plus more. I don't know. But it used to be, I thought this was a wood only thing because my brother-in-law, Steve uses it or has one. Sure. And, Sure, yeah. The more hobby level, let's say, machines are probably more capable of wood. The more professional or industrial level tools are what would be used mostly for metal. And those are less common in hobby shops or in home shops, but they are becoming a lot more common. And the hobby CNC machines are all getting a lot better. So for example, the machine I've been using is called the Carvee. It is definitely. a little hobby machine. I hope you named it Dana. Yeah.

It says Carvey on there and I do want to use the machine to cut out the word Dana right above it. Make a name play for it. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely, yes, yes. Actually, I had a different one. It wasn't a very good one that I got rid of, but its name was Carvey Danger. Oh, really awesome. And then later, if you're bored of that, you could call it Carvey Danger Field, just out a field on there.

Nice. I like it. actually somehow because my life is bizarre had dinner a couple years ago with one of the members of the band harvey danger oh really what was that about how'd that work did you have to get down off a flagpole to oh man why were you there what was the opportunity i don't get it um my pal adam savages in town and had dinner with a handful of folks and apparently he knows that guy too so well let me pick up this name that you just Yeah. Don't let it get dirty. Make sure that name gets clean. Yeah, it'll be fine. No, just doing it. I sat next to Neil Stevenson. What? Oh, wow. He's a cool guy. Did you give him a book I did and then he went and made millions from it? No, I didn't. I did not provide Neil Stevenson with anything of value. Okay. That's good. It's good to know. Anyway, my car v machine, the C&C machine. And it is a hobby machine. It's a little, it's a little, it's not. It's not. It's not.

more than a little underpowered. It's very underpowered for metal. But I made it work through some trial and error, but I made it work. The machine, this one in particular looks a lot like a 3D printer. It even has an enclosure built around it. But instead of a hot nozzle that poops out plastic, it has a spinning tool. So instead of adding material, it removes it. Other than that, it is very similar, right?

Yeah, exactly. Like clay or whatever. subtractive sculpting. Yeah. Oh, look at you with a fancy word for that. That's pretty good. Well, I mean, I did go to art school. When I'm not having dinner with my good friend, Adam Savage.

I'm going to art school. That sounds good. Yes, right. Yeah. So the tool pass that you create in your CAM workspace, that basically tells the machine where to drag this spinning tool through your material, hopefully in the correct spot. Yeah.

There are some problems, though. Oh, all right. Some difficulties. So there are a lot of different operations that you can use. It's not as easy as going, hey, there's my part. Just cut it out. You have to be a little more specific about telling the computer what types of operations to use. So there's a bit of trial at error there figuring out the right operations.

The difficult thing, especially with this hobby machine, is figuring out how fast to push this machine. how fast can I cut through the material and what you would call your feeds and speeds and they all have to be set very manually. I looked up what other people recommended and I kind of came, got to a ballpark that seemed to work pretty well, but

I still had to do a lot, a little bit of tweaking here and there. If you push the machine too hard, it can actually skip steps and then everything it cuts from them, that point out, is out of alignment. Forever?

Can you adjust it again? If you notice that it happened, you can stop the operation and reset it. If you don't notice and it goes and cuts the rest of the piece out, you're kind of hosed because it doesn't remember where zero is anymore. It doesn't remember where home is. So if you start a new operation, it's going to be offset a little bit, which is exactly what happened to me. Or if you push the machine too hard, you will break bits. I did that too. Oh, no.

Look at you making all these mistakes. so that we won't. This is great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So basically, like, I had a bit that was, I was pushing it too hard. It worked fine for a while, but eventually it got dull. And once it got dull, it had more friction, and then it broke. Or I pushed it way too fast, and the instant it came in contact with the metal, it snapped. Like, that happened to. So you learn, you learn these things. I bought a lot of bits. I got a lot of extra bits. Sure. Always. Commit to the bits, I always say. Trial and error.

Seems to be the way I learned best. The other bummer is that brass can be kind of expensive. It can get kind of pricey as you make a lot of misdeme. No, I actually did a bunch of practices on some aluminum that I had that was cheaper and kind of similar, although not that similar, it turns out. But it helped get familiar with cutting metal. Does it, the consister, sorry, the sameness or the relative sameness, or the relative same of metal types matters here, right? Because you can't just stick steel in there if you wanted, right?

Right. This machine would probably not cut steel. That would be, it probably would be able to do that. And there's a lot of other properties other than just the general hardness of the material that make a difference that I don't quite understand yet. And I think just getting a lot of hours in, cutting a lot of different materials, I think that's kind of the way I'm going to learn. But I'm ready.

I got a lot of cool stuff to make and the machine works. so, and I still have bits left so I can keep working at it. The way I made this thing work was to take really small, slow bites with the machine and just slowly shave off, I think it was going

0.2 millimeters at a time. Tiny, tiny little bites. Yeah. They took a long time. So this part I just finished took two or three days worth of machining. But it worked. It worked great. If I had a better, more

industrial machine, I could have gone a lot quicker, but again, it totally worked. And now I have this part that I'm really proud of. So if you set it right, it is kind of a set it and forget it, meaning you let it do its thing and you don't have to sit there and monitor it the whole time, or do you?

You should keep it eye on your CNC machine. But the worst that's going to happen in this case, like I said, mine is fully enclosed. The worst thing it can happen is it breaks the bit and then it just keeps going but at that point it isn't going to hit your material

because the bit is no longer in the equation right so generally the worst thing that happens is it starts cutting the wrong thing and it ruins your material and you're not there to see it happening or the bit breaks and you're not there to see it happening I wouldn't probably recommend running a CNC machine while you're not in the house probably a bad idea but it's not going to catch on fire

or become self-aware and start, you know, bringing the rest of your appliances against you. It's not that smart. Right. You just may have a, I mean, if something got skewampus, you'd want to be around to know and stop it before you lose your material. Yeah, that's generally a good idea.

All right. Well, very nice. These things fascinate me. I watch my brother-in-law use his, and it's honestly a little freaky. It's so neat to see it, like, especially when you do an operation and it cuts apart out, and then you say, okay, go back in there.

And finish the thing apart on the bottom. And it goes back in and puts it in exactly the same spot again. And then just keeps going. Yeah. It's so cool. Very, very cool. Well, as usual, before you take off and leave us all with these wonderful thoughts of seeing machines running away, you leave us with a little extra. What do you got this week?

Yes, some more scene. Go into 3D printers. These are big industrial 3D printers at 3D print. Oh, yeah. so many people sent me at this link this is great yeah the channel is Veritasium and he covered a company that is 3D printing rockets

and I mean like the real ones big old rockets out of aluminum it's so cool whoa what the heck so cool that's that's huge yeah I don't even want

who are these four what are these they want to send rockets to space they want a more cheaper quicker way to make rockets for people. That's amazing. That's a lot of aluminum, too. Sure is. Holy Mother of Pearl.

All right. Well, go check that out. That's over at Veritasium. Veritasium is the chat, or the channel. And you can go learn all about how a 3D printer rocket. Probably not you'll be able to do it yourself, but someone's doing it, so go watch them, do it.

All right. Very cool. Bill Durand, everybody. Punish Props.com for all the stuff he's making and doing that's cool, as well as chin beard on Twitter. Bill, have a great week. We'll see you next time. Yep. Bye. See you. Oh, yeah, look at that. I'm sorry. I got a little caught up in this thing. That's amazing. I know. It is really

cool. Yeah. Wow. What else could you make? You could make all kinds of stuff. You can make a car. Yeah. Big aluminum car. You could make an aluminum rocket car. I would drive that. All right. Who now? Oh, yeah. Stephen. Stephen Schlecker. Yes. Yeah. Let's see if this works.

He's remote, but it should be Fine. I'm not worried. Hello? Oh, hi. It is working. Oh, look at this. This is great. Oh, I didn't play your thing, though. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Hey, look who it is. Our old pal, Steven Schleiker from major spoilers.com, who's, you're somewhere. Where are you? Another school or something? I am back at work after almost two years. Oh, wow. I'll get COVID. So this is in the office.

The office, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's what you sound great. Are you, uh, I had to reset up because, you know, in a, in 19 months or whatever it's been, I've got a new computer, which means that all the stuff that was here at the office is obsolete. So I had to rebuild stuff. So I didn't know if it was going to work today or not. Wow.

Well, you sound great. And are you settling in, okay? Like, that must be a weird experience. Yeah, I mean, I'm vaccinated, but I'm still wearing my mask. Yeah. Because there's a lot of people who aren't. Yeah. Well, I heard somebody in the chat.

I was saying Australia's got brand new lockdown business going on, some kind of major. Oh, yeah, yeah. I saw that. An additional two weeks onto the four that they've had recently. Yeah, it's all getting crazy. We had something like, you know, 1,600 new cases, a bunch of them are kids here, just in Salt Lake. It's getting weird again. Yeah, and school starts back up for the young ones on Wednesday this week.

Yeah. Oh, your young ones are getting started again. Yeah, it's usually around here, most of the kids start. in August, although there's a, I think there's a few schools or maybe age groups that start in September, early September or something. I guess we're almost there, so this is back to school time, everybody.

I guess enjoy, and don't get sick. Good luck. All right, well, we're glad to have you. Nonetheless, and we may as well just jump right in here. Venom 2 got delayed. What happened there? What's going on there? COVID. Yeah. Yeah, they basically are like, hey, if we want to make this a theatrical

only thing, we probably should didn't do this in the middle of a pandemic. So how about we bump this from September 24th to October 15th? And maybe by then, COVID will be over. Why don't they, they're just, this is just, it's that kind of comedy that they needed in Venom one. They, they, they, I mean, I know this is, they're not alone in this. Everybody's delays left and right and whatever. But at some point, your, your desire to avoid those losses or potential losses,

you're just, you're putting off interest, right? Like, I feel like the longer you do this, the less people are excited about your thing. I think, I mean, so there's a couple of ways you can look at this, right? So if you look at, what was it, the cabin in the woods, that movie sat on the shelf for like two years before Chris Hemsworth was a big name. And they're like, well, we probably ought to release this in the theater. And then, of course, it had some good stuff.

So there's that kind of choices. Well, we can just let it sit on the shelf. And when we're ready, we can release it. the other option is well we could release it in a pandemic and hope that people don't call us out because the movie quote unquote underperforms at the box office or you could do a simultaneous release but Sony has who who are they going to simultaneously release through right that's a good point you have and then you could have well we're going to just do a digital only release now 824 on the 18th which is Wednesday they're doing a digital release of the green night one night only where you watch it at a specific time where you can go on to their website and watch the Green Night movie and pay the tickets there, which I might do, but it is Wednesday night and I've got things to do. But, I do want to do. So there's those options that you can do. And right now, the theater owners association or the North American team organization is just

bad mouthing simultaneous release left and right. Whereas people who went to see the suicide squad at home, many people were like, yeah, this is fine here. Other people were like, I kind of wish I would have seen it in the theater, but I, you know, we're not going to hear from Warner Brothers how much money came from the streaming release that's going to that movie, unlike Disney, which says, let's charge $30 for Black Widow, and then we can actually say that the movie's made $65 million through home release. So it is complicated, and Sony's in that spot because they don't have their own streaming platform to just say, well, we're going to release this

streaming. They used to own Crackle. That was theirs for a while and they got rid of it. Not that that was ever a big streaming service, but they had something for a bit. And so, you know, it's problematic because the states that have the most movie theaters in the biggest population are also the ones that are currently having the biggest COVID problems. So that's Florida, New York, Texas, and California. And so, you know, when you look at that, it's like, well, do you go ahead and release this at, you know,

$25 million for an opening weekend release, or do you wait until, you know, quote-unquote, this is all over, and then hopefully get $125 million. Yeah. Well, I just don't know that, you know, everybody, Dune got moved to August. A whole bunch of things got moved to August, or October rather. So did this. So now that we got all these movies come out in October, two things are going to happen, in my opinion. It'll be very clear that in fall, none of this is fixed because why would it? Oh, no.

It'll get worse by the fall. It's worse by fall. Always is. Every year, if you're doing just flu coverage, it's worse by fall. So, you know, how do you think COVID's going to be? I think it's going to be better? No. That's number one.

Number two, now you've got this crowded weekend release schedule for a whole bunch of stuff that kept getting pushed and pushed and pushed. And they're going to be competing in a way that they weren't planning on in the first place. So even then, whatever dollars they are competing for is going to be weird. So I don't know, man. Like, I think sometimes I just think, just go for your date and lock it in and go. I don't know. My guess is we are going to see, you know, it used to be when you had Marvel at D23 or the Disney convention, they would stand up and say, here are our plans for the next eight years of Marvel movies. My guess is they're now going to be start announcing the year-to-year announcements only.

Here's what we're planning for 2023. And then in 2023, they'll say, here's what we're planning for 2024. Because I don't think too many studios want to get into a bind where they're like, well, we're announcing this movie that's coming out in five years. and now we have to push our entire schedule and that can upset investors that can shake confidence in the in the studios and the theater system yeah so i think that in going forward they may only say well in 2023 here's what we're going to release and then they're not going to speak anything further than that until they've got production wrapped and that kind of stuff yeah yeah we humans are bad at oh not maybe not bad like in some ways it's there's a lot of

ingenuity going on in terms of like how to make all this work despite i mean Wear a mask. Yeah, well, that too. But you know what I mean? Like, not so much people. But like, but like, the companies themselves, right? They have to dodge and weave and swerve to make this work. And in some ways, I see some of that as an innovation, like some of the stuff that's happening at home through streaming services is a great way to circumvent things, to beef things up.

It also ruffles a lot of feathers. Like, it's all, you know, it's all like hard change. but it'll figure itself out, like, you know. Oh, yeah, eventually. But in the short term, I think people are going to be, and maybe in the long-term repercussions, people are going to be a lot more cautious. You know, one of the reasons why they make these big proclamations

of their 10-year plan for movies or whatever television releases is to boost stock market confidence, right? When I used to cover the professional film and television markets, anytime I would deal with a company like Sony or like Adobe, they would always say, we do not make forward-looking statements, meaning that they'll tell you what we want to tell you when we want to tell you when it's ready, but we're not going to say, oh, yeah, we'll have this product ready by next year. They simply wouldn't do that kind of stuff.

Yeah, the gaming world's the same way. They don't want to, they want to overcommit. I saw, so this is not exactly connected, but I wonder if we're coming to a head on some of this stuff. So Texas, the governor just announced that if any bars or restaurants, restaurants mandate masks from their patrons, which again is completely within their purview as a private business to ask them to do whatever they want to do. He's going to strip them all of their liquor licenses, which is a really insane thing. I just, I hope you guys question jury this week when he's on because I just do not understand

this, this let's go hell bent in not to do these things. They're out of hospital beds and yet they're going to do that. It doesn't make any sense to me at all. But aside from that, my point is, like, we are going to come to a head here where I think mandates will happen in free market ways and a bunch of government people who always talk about how government should stay out of our lives are going to try to get into our lives to intervene in this way. And it's going to all look real stupid and look dumb. And in some ways, I think the free market will help this happen. And some of that is like life insurance rates will go up for people who refuse to get vaccinated because, like smokers and others, they're going to get dinged because they're living in a higher risk situation

and high risk is anti-good rates for your insurance. That's just how that works. So whether that affects actual health coverage insurance, I don't know, but life insurance certainly will. Like those kinds of things will start to happen where an airline says, we're the airline. You don't tell us what to do. We tell us what to do. And what we're saying is you've got to wear a mask. And that's going to start have to happening because if it's not going to be mandated by local state and federal government, then it's up to us. But the problem is, especially in this thing with Texas, is that it's, if a business wants to mandate mass, the governor's like, no, you don't, or I'm going to take away your, your,

it's so uft up. Livability. It's really messed up. But you're right. I think at this point, we get to, we're getting very close to the shaming stage of public discourse, where we shame people for not doing this. You know, how Brian turns around in the theater and looks at people when they're talking. Yeah.

Yeah. Just, my game and started doing this with. masks and stuff like that. The problem is, well, with masks, I mean, you know, masks you can do. I mean, obviously vaccines, you can't tell if somebody's vaccinated or not. Right. But there's also some people, because of medical issues, we've got one in our audience that can't get the vaccine because of a medical issue. And so it's like that. That's what keeps me from just, you know, years two? Yeah, he's 10. He can't get a, he can't get a shot yet. Oh, well, yeah, the under 12 issues. Yeah, that too. But see, here's the thing. That person isn't going,

well, I can't get the vaccine. but also I'm going to go out and public shit everywhere and blow in your face in the middle of this concert. Like if you really can't, people that can't get it are also being careful in whatever ways they can be for both themselves and people around them. The people that go, I ain't wearing no mask. They're not doing that. They're not doing anything on the side to help. To help to mitigate, like, well, I can't get the next scene, but what I'll do is all these other extra things to help. It's killing me, man.

Yeah. It's killing me. And that governor's a, what an a hole. Anyway, yeah, so politics, politics, politics tomorrow on TMS here with Justin. All right, moving on. Let's talk about My Hero Academia getting a live action treatment. My daughter's going to lose her mind over this, either in the positive or negative. I'm not sure because she loves that show or that anime.

So what do we know about this? What's going on here? So there is a live action adaptation of My Hero Academia being done for legendary entertainment, and it's going to be directed by Japanese filmmaker Shinsuke Sato. The same one who did Alice in Borderland, if you guys have seen that on Netflix, which is really good. He's also done I Am Hero and Kingdom as well. And so I think a lot of people will get a kick out of this. Hopefully, when they get a good cast and crew, for those people that don't know what my hero academia is,

I'm going to guess that there's maybe one or two people in your audience who doesn't. It started out as a manga about suddenly 80% of the Earth's population develops these superhero abilities called quirks. And so the series follows these kids as their quirks develop and they go to Hero High School essentially and learn to use their powers and learn what it means to become heroes. And maybe they will get hired on to become licensed heroes to protect the populace. Yeah. And so it's really good.

I don't know if you've watched it, Scott or Brian, but I enjoy it. My kids enjoy it. Yeah. I've never seen it. If anybody wants to read the manga, it's available now over on Viz Media. You can go to viz.com, viz.com, and you can read the digital collections right now. Are they all backwards on there? Yes, yes.

But when you read it digitally on the website, you can just set it up. So when you click, you know, the right button, it'll just take it to the next page as opposed to the left page. Okay, yeah, because the actual book books, that kills me. I can't do it. I have a really hard time of that. Yeah, it takes a little bit, but after a bit, you figure out how to do it. Yeah, it's like playing Mario Brothers by running to the left. It doesn't make any sense.

Oh, yeah. I'm kidding. That is a weird thought. I guess you can run to the left in Mario games, but like the original Mario Brothers, the point is if you want to progress, you've got to go that way, you know? Right. That's just how it was. All right. Well, that looks cool. I think that could be neat.

Now, the one story I was looking forward to the most, we now get to finally talk about, Transformers, the chess set. I am so into this idea. When can I get it? I mean, you can back the Kickstarter now. It's got like almost 40 days to go. it needs to raise $300,000 to get this done. It's got, what, about a sixth of that already. This is the Eagle Moss Hero Collector has teamed up with,

I'm pretty sure Hasbro, to get the license for the original-looking Transformers designs to where if you want to play the Decepticons as one team and the Autobots on the other, you can play these. 32 individual chess pieces. Obviously, Optimus Prime is the White King, And Megatron, or what's his name? Megatron is the Black King. So it looks pretty cool.

I mean, this reminds me back in the day. I think they still do this. Like was it, the Franklin Mint or something would have like the Civil War chess set or the DC Universe chess set. And you could have your chess game look just like a transformer. Now, the pieces do not transform, but it still looks pretty cool. Yeah, it looks all right. It's very plastic and colorful, which I think will really appeal to old fans. where are the ponds?

There's no pawns in this. Yeah, there are pawns. So on the Decepticon side, you have brawl, frenzy, laser beak, ravage, rumble, scrapper, shrapnel, and thrust for the Decepticons. And on the Autobot side, you have R.C., Blue Streak, Bumblebee, Jazz, prowl, side swipe, sunstreaker, and wheeljack. So. But do they, they don't show them anywhere. Yeah, I mean, they have some pictures in there of what they look like. If you look at the main chessboard, you can see R.C. and Bubblebee. in there as pawns. Oh, I see him, but I don't

oh, I guess, and I think it's also the height of their platform helps designate what their, what their rank is. Oh, what their deal is, okay. Yeah, and if you scroll down under the chess pieces set, it gives you a list of all of the characters that are appearing in what their role is.

Eagle Moss, they make some great stuff. The Marvel lead figures that I have were all part of that same Eagle Moss series, and then they did the chess set, which Green Bay Spide in the chat room has as well, which really, really good stuff. They make quality.

Would you, this Marvel one, is it full color? Is it full color? Is it all like pewter looking? Total full color and they're lead and they're heavy. Like kingpin weighs, kingpin probably weighs like a pound. Oh, wow. That's cool. Yeah.

What is he? Is he a king on the bad side or what is he? No, it's, the one I have is in a chess set, though. It's just little lead figures of all the Marvel characters. Gotcha. And it fills one of those, IKEA three level glass

towers. There's probably God, 250 maybe of these characters. That's a lot. It is. Oh, crap. And one of them weighs a pound. Is he the biggest? Or is there anything that rivals him? Like the Hulk or something?

Hulk is pretty heavy. It's funny because about three-fourths of the way through the set, they figured out a way to have lead on the outside and then maybe resin on the inside to cut down the weight. So Sasquatch is bigger than Kingpin, but weighs less. Oh, wow.

That makes sense. This whole thing costs $600, which I know some people are like grabbing their chest and screaming. I'm coming for you, Elizabeth. But when you consider some of the other games that go on Kickstarter, $600 is about right. Like if you're doing something from Cool Mini or not, or if you're doing, you know, some of these other things, they can really crank up in price when you add in all the extras and stuff there. That's a lot, man. Geez, I guess. I guess, though, if you're really...

Thank you for laughing at my joke. It was really good. You're on coming for you, Elizabeth. It's really funny. You didn't have to tell me, please clap, like Jeb Bush did. No. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

Those were the days. All right. Well, this looks great. I'm going to follow this and see how things go. Whether I want to spend $600 is still sort of up in the air, but we'll find out. Stephen, as always, plenty going on on major spoilers.com. I assume you guys did some cool coverage of all the Suicide Squad business. and all of that.

Yeah, the Suicide Squad as opposed to the Academy Award-winning Suicide Squad. Yes, I've got to keep that and keep that straight, which one we're talking about. Yeah, we'll be talking about that on the Major Spoilers podcast pre-show. For those of people who are our patrons, we'll be talking about that there. We did do a review of the first trade paperback of the Suicide Squad on last week's show, or maybe it's two weeks ago show, so people can go check that out at major spoilers.com. Very nice. Stephen, is there any other advice you'd like to give us before I cut you off?

Masket or Casket, people. Oh, I like that one. Yeah, I've never heard that before. It was pretty good. That's really good. It or Casket. Masket or Casket. Dark, man.

And a green and yellow basket. No, that's a whole different thing. Yeah, isn't it? It's a whole other thing. All right, we're going to do a Monday morning mashup. I saved this a week because I wanted Brian to be here for it. Nice. Thank you for that.
