This is the morning stream. The hell you say. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's October 4th, if you can believe it, 2021. Four days into this new month already. So we better, we best get going here with the TMS part of the month. Today is a 10-4, good buddy. Is it? Oh, it is. Yeah. Yeah. How come they, they've got tuck like a pirate day. They don't have talk like a trucker day. Yeah, why is that? Is it because the pirates don't exist in the form that they used to and so we can say all we want about them, but trucker still. do. And so, you know, you don't want to smirch. We don't want to offend the

trucker. Yeah, I don't want to offend a trucker. Breaker, breaker, one, nine is this here's the rubber duck. I'm about to lay the hammer down. My dad used to have, my dad was really into the CB radio thing for a while and we had a boat and a motorhome that both had,

we go to Lake Powell all the time, and they both had these CB things, CB radios in him. And so he, I always thought this was so weird. I still think it's really weird. He'd get out on the road and he'd have conversations with actual truckers

because he'd be listening on their channels and they'd be going breaker breaker, I got a thing with the deal and a do-bang-d-d-d-dun-d-d-er, whatever. And my dad would break in and go, yeah, this is, I need to have a name for himself. I don't remember what it was. It's like, this is wet noodle. We're coming around. And he just had like these full

conversations with these guys as if he was part of this little crew, you know? And at the time I remember thinking, what Is he, what is this language? Who are these people? What are they saying? I mean, the, the, uh, the big reason to do that is, because they're going to let you know where the bears are hanging out.

Where's, where's, where's, uh, oh, they've even got a bear in the air. Where are they? Yeah, no kidding. Oh, and the smokies, they got to watch out for smokies. Because that's the, I think those are the same things, aren't they? Well, bear, Smokey and the bear, or no, smoky and the bandit, wait. Bears are, uh, officers. I don't know what smokies.

are i thought smokies were the because smoky and the bandit means cops and and dude yeah i don't know now right i don't actually know what is smoky short for i don't know what smoky right because i know what you're saying right because the bert reynolds thing smoky was the sheriff chasing maybe it's uh sheriff versus uh um state cops or something like that or highway patrol or something like that i don't know I found a list. Any of the, any of the fine officers out there who listen to the show, you want to confirm it at nine of these. But some of you get called Barneys because of Barney from the Andy Griffith Show. So that, I guess that stuck around for some people.

You get called a Barney. A cop, obviously. A dick. That's for detectives, though. Uh-huh. A 5-0. The Fuzz. Oh, they say 5-0 a lot on the, the, with the wire.

when they know cops are coming around. The guy will go, 5-0! And everybody will like a high-line-high. The fuzz, we know about that. A gumshoe. Geez, what is it, the 20s here? Geez. Apparently, yeah, the...

Oh, there it is. Smokey. I found it in the list. Smoky. Smokey is another term for... I mean, it does come from them using bears as the officers. Bear rolling discos is a speeding police car with its lights flashing. This is my favorite one.

Cojek with a code. Kodak is a police officer running radar. Nice. Nice. How so they go. Yeah, I saw a Kodak or the Kodak about four miles back behind that sign. Like that kind of thing.

That's what they do. Yeah, exactly. Really, they just, it's like, uh, it's like Inuits and Snow. There's about 45 words for bear. Yeah. Or for, uh, officer in the, um, that's fantastic. The C.B language. Flying donut.

Yeah. Uh, Fox in the end of house is an unmarked police vehicle. Nice. no one so they just say that but the only truckers say that no one else says that right that's like a trucker yeah no no okay i like when they talk in code do po po po or pig you know i don't see that one listed polar bear is a white unmarked police vehicle oh listen i found some i found some british ones uh zoe you have to tell us in the chat if these are any good uh bobby's on the beat uh blue bottle ross knicker and plodagh and plodagh and

Wow. Yeah. Plotter like P-O-O-D-D-R. Yeah, yeah. Like it's just plodding along. That's right. Now, down here we'd say P-Po, up in Canada, it says, Ontario specifically, O-P-P-O. Weird, right?

Oh, it is. The letter O-P-O-P-O, and then P-O-P-O-P-O. Oh, look out. Oh, P-P-O-P-O-P-O up there. Canadians are weird, man. All right, so they have some destinations in CB-Slang, right? So if you say you're going to Disney Town. Yeah.

That means you're going to Anaheim, California. Got it. I'm going to give you the CB term for a place. You tell me where that trucker is headed. Go. Where he's hauling his hogs. All right. Let's start with an easy one.

How about Bean Town? Bean Town is Boston. That is exactly correct. Okay. How about Chocolate Town? Uh, ooh. I really hope this isn't a race thing. It costs the additional 50 bucks.

to go to Chocolate Town. Yeah, no kidding. Hershey, Pennsylvania? That's exactly right. Really? Pennsylvania. Good job. Yep. All right.

Yep. How about, let's see here. Flagtown. Flagtown. Flagtown. D.C.? No, Flagstaff, Arizona. Oh, that would make sense.

It's got a flag right there in the name. Okay. Let's see here. How about? um quarterback this is more of a less of a

destination more of a a way you'll get there quarter back I guess this doesn't this wouldn't be a good one for you because you don't know about I mean obviously you know there exists

an interstate 25 but it doesn't go through Salt Lake City so never mind we're all I-15 all the time here yep uh how about steel city Steel City would be Pittsburgh That's exactly right The sticker patch

The sticker patch My sister when she was 12 No Let's see Sticker patch That's got to be something with like stuff that pokes you Like that kind of sticker Yeah, uh-huh

What pokes you? So what would be the sticker patch Oh geez I don't know. What is that? Phoenix, Arizona, reference to the cactus. Oh, duh, duh. So you were like right on the, right in the,

I'd fit right in with these guys in the range. Yeah, how about the silly circle? The silly circle. The roundabouts in Ireland. No, that's not it. Silly circle? Silly circle. The silly circle.

Yeah, breaker one nine. I'm heading to the silly circle. I have no idea. That is the capital beltway, which is the beltway that goes around Washington, D.C. Oh, I should have known that, because it is kind of silly. It's a big loopy deal. Okay. Let's do one more here.

How about this one? I like this one. Rhymes with fun. Hey, where are you going? Break, break one nine, I'm heading to rhymes with fun. It's literally rhymes with fun or this word rhyme. Yeah, the word, the place description is called, quote, rhymes with fun, end quote. rhymes with fun

and it's not in it's a destination outside of the United States but still in North America. Oh, so it's Canada probably or Mexico. Correct, it is a place in Canada. Okay, it is Canada. So let's say

I have no idea. What would... Rhymes of fun? I have no idea. Jake Gramer did the guy. has it. It is Regina, Saskatchewan. Really? Yes. Oh, my gosh. That's terrible, truckers.

You got all these boring ones like, yeah, we're going to the silly circle and, you know, stuff like that. Right, exactly. And they got a vagina joke, man, just go straight to it. All right, fantastic. Fun gina. All right, but that doesn't make sense. Rhymes with fun.

Yeah. It doesn't rhyme with fun. No, no, but it rhymes with something fun. Yeah, but that's effed up. You should say, rhymes with something. I'm heading over to rhymes with something fun. That's what they should say. Well, but I'm going to say rhymes with a vagina.

Right, but they say it rhyme. I'm going to rhymes with fun. Yes. If I say that, that means the thing I'm going to rhymes with fun, right? You're thinking way too literally. Like rhymes with something fun. This town rhymes with something fun. All right.

These guys, I don't know. man truckers i can't i can't wait till automated truckers take over the whole thing and it's nothing but robots right booping back and forth ones and zero we have trucker we have truckers listening so uh trucker one zero one one zero one zero one zero one zero one zero uh all right well that's fun hey uh i wanted to give a quick shout out he's not in the chat i don't know if he'll even hear this but a shout out to siev in our in our uh our community you know siev Siv's a good guy. Yeah, yeah, love Siv.

I'm not even going to tell people... Local Colorado boy. Yes, he is. I'm not going to give any specifics as to why he knows what he did. I just wanted to give him a shout out for it. That's all. Oh, he'll know. He'll know.

It's our little secret. I'm going to waste everyone else's time with our little secret. And say that. You know, our podcast listeners complain about all the visual stuff we do. This is good because now you're giving something that everybody but one person can complain. One single human being in the entire audience. No one else has any idea. I think that's fine because, you know, I'm going to give a shout out to Shane Maddox

because he knows what he did. He knows what he did on Friday. Yeah, bought me a burger is what he did. Oh, that's nice. And Tina burgers and very powerful gin drinks. Hold on. Also, Shave Maddox also a local? I didn't know that.

No, he's not. He was visiting from Waukesha. He and a couple buddies came in for the 3-11 concert. They decided to come original to Red Rock. Oh, did you check the color of their energy while they were here? I did. It was amber. It was a bright amber and there was a mosquito stuck in it.

That's great. It's fantastic. Anyway, we went out to dinner on Friday night and had a great time. He's a great guy and his buddies, Dave and Mike, were very cool as well. So, Shane, if you're listening, hey, there he is right there. Shane, you're awesome. And thank you for buying dinner. You really didn't have to do that.

Yeah, one of the nice guy. He's also a very talented programmer, I happen to know. Yeah. Yeah. Something might be happening. Mm-hmm. Also, what else was going to say? I was going to say something about the shaved.

Oh, the 3-Eleven. I've been listening to 3-Eleven this weekend. Isn't that a little weird? That is weird. Weird quinky-dink. I don't know why I did. I just got in the mood. I heard, maybe I heard it on a playlist and I went, wait a minute.

What are they doing lately? And they got this 2019 album that freaking bangs. It's so good. Oh, yeah. I remember when I came out. Shane, what did you think of Red Rocks? This was his first time going to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. Which is just an incredible place to see a show.

That's where they performed. That's cool. Yeah. If you're going to Denver, you want to go there, right? That's like going to Carnegie Hall or whatever. You can go there, even if there's not a concert going on there. You can go there and as you've seen on many a TikTok run up the, the frigging steps of the platforms. I keep getting these TikToks.

They just show up in my feed. And I send them to Brian every time because I know this is that place. And my favorite maybe was a giant group yoga. video with like I don't know 100 200 women doing yoga I'll spread out on these on these seats doing yoga and somebody had just made like a horrible cacophony of fart sounds as the back of the sound track for it just downward facing dog echoing uh farts all over rocks all over redrock yeah yeah I want to see that place I heard um somebody just performed there comedy wise and filmed it who oh uh Bill Burr has a special comment I guess sober yeah and the last one yeah there was a brand reagan show from uh oh yeah i recommended that one it was awesome netflix yeah that's not even that's that's not even that's that's not even a year old that thing came out like oh was it that recent okay i guess the concert there was two years ago because tristan wanted to go and it was oh it was the one i saw they were all in masks

and separated by six or eight feet or whatever oh maybe it was wow maybe it was that recent maybe he's done maybe he came back and filmed he could have come back yeah yeah it was good though It's very funny. He has white hair now. So there's that. Whoa. Yeah. Look out, everybody.

Hey, speaking of white hair, there's no, there's no transition here. Venom, tell me about Venom. You went and saw Venom. Yeah, I went and saw Venom too. Let there be carnage only in theaters. So, Tina, I went and we saw it only in the theater. Look, if you liked the first venom, this is going to be more of the same. Hardy's great.

um briefest of appearances by michel well not brief but she's not in it a whole lot she's she's more there to be the damsel only distress for part of it but uh she's also who michel who michel williams from um oh you didn't say williams you just said michel did i thought i said michel williams okay uh anyway michel williams uh is who i'm talking about you like her that much or that close to her that you're like you know yeah yeah just call her Michelle. Yeah. Me and Michelle were like this. You know, I'm trying to think of the name of the other guy who's in it, who plays her new boyfriend. Because you've seen him and everything. Read Scott.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that guy. Yeah, a Veep. He was the main suck-up on Veep. Yeah, the one that would quit and then come right back. Yeah, yeah, that guy was great. He's good. He's great. But, you know, all in all, the whole thing was really good. Woody Harrelson made a great carnage. There's a lot of CGI

Venom versus Carnage fighting that's like, all right, this maybe went on a little too long, but again, if you like the first one, then the second one's going to be good. The Stinger, though, is what really got the audience excited. Obviously, I won't say anything about it, but if you are going

to see Venom 2, and you've never been to a Marvel movie before and you don't know that they put stingers, just make sure you stick them or stick around for the stinger because what they stuck in there was incredible. I have a feeling. Just tell me if I'm warm. I'm not going to give it away.

As I have no idea. All right. Everybody who cares about spoilers. 30 second countdown. I have zero idea what this is, so I'm not coming to it from anything. But it's got to be some final, finally the Spider-Man crossover is happening, right? Something like that, right? It's got to be.

You're warm. You're very well. Very warm? Okay. Yeah. I feel warm. Excellent. Well, there you go. I've heard for most people that, like, if you like the first one, this is more of that and slightly better.

So it sounds like that's what you're saying. Oh, and Andy Circus directed this? Is that true? Andy Circus is the director, yeah. Whoa. That's a trip. Hold on. What else is he directed?

Venom. All that Maguire, Legends of the Jungle, ruins of Empires, Breathe, and Heavenly Sword. Those are all he's done. Yeah, Andy Circus, man. stepping out of the That's crazy I'm watching a white dog pooping my lawn

And I guarantee I can tell right now This person does not have a bag In their hand They are not going to pick it up Nope That one's yours Oh if only I had like a speaker

That went to the outside That one's yours to keep dude That's your poop now Yep there they go Oh just walking away Okay Yep That's your white dog poop

That son of a bitch Yeah just walked away Poop and leave Doesn't realize Everyone's got cameras now oh yeah my ring doorbell i could have i could have maybe yelled through my ring doorbell he's that's pretty far away i wonder if i get a said uh you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna clean that up right i i mean i just come back this way because they're going out for a walk he's got to come back

this way we'll see if he picks it up on the way and sometimes people do that i've done that where i don't have the bag because i'm not to the station yet and i'm out of bags and i'm like oh i'll come back so i'll mark it or remember or whatever And then I come back to it later. And I always worry that the people living there might have seen it and think I'm leaving, but I'm not. I fully intend to come back. Like, I almost feel like I should leave a note saying a little post it next to the turd. Right.

I'm coming back for this. Yeah. You should do that. I could just run a piece of paper out there and put it right next to the poop that says, hey. Yeah. Whoever left this. Clean it up. You should do it.

Yeah, what would I make it, uh, golly. I could even just give them a bag. and like say in case you in case you forgot one yeah ah it's not bad that's not bad and put a gun on draw a gun on there yeah exactly yeah it's a screenshot like print print the screenshot of the of the dog pooping in the yard yeah put it on a piece of paper next to the all right well maybe i'll do that in a minute we'll see we got we got a lot of stuff to get to this morning by the way uh Tina took me on a mystery date saturday after uh film sack yeah how that We went to the Colorado Convention Center to something called the Curiosity's and Audities Expo.

And kind of went into this thing, not really having a big idea of what it was going to be. But it was great. I mean, this is basically the convention center filled with about 100, 120 vendors, each one's selling weird, like fossils. Things in formaldehyde jars like fetal this and fetal that and goose heads and weird stuff like that. Weird. Skeletons of creatures arranged in weird positions. A lot of weird like tarot card stuff and teddy bears. The new thing this year, a new thing.

It's like, it's not, this is the first year I've ever been, but I'd never seen these before. I'd seen all that other stuff before. people taking teddy bears and putting skull faces like ripping out the teddy bear's face and sewing a skull licking out of the teddy bear's head to what end?

Just to be freaky and weird? Just to be freaky. I mean basically all these things were for sale. I don't think I bought a single thing there. But there was one that I was tempted to. There was an artist there that had a style very much like Carter and had some amazing like Spock versus Evil Spock and like total pop culture stuff and the Avengers and they took the beatnik pinball machine and all the characters you see on the backglass of the beatnik pinball machine and had them all standing around at playing pinball and like smoking a jazz cigarette sitting next to the pinball machine and stuff um some really really cool stuff bizarre as hell but Tina knocked it out like a like an artist

stally kind of thing sort of? Yeah, so one, a few of the vendors were just artists who either worked with photography, worked with painted art, drawn art, and kind of intermixed around all of the people selling from all the high jars. I could send you a photo real quick that you could put into the chat. Why don't I do that? Sure, why not? Text that over to because, because some freaky-ass stuff, Scott Johnson, I'll tell you that right now. jam dude i'd go to that in a heartbeat if that comes here i would go because i like weird stuff well it's it's touring around you might actually you might actually find it all right check your check your uh oh yeah look at this look at this business ooh geez some of these are very alien and some

look real like that's a cat skull here hold on chat it's coming up okay there you go so chat room you can enjoy a little bit of uh here i'll zoom in here so one of those is a frog i see a couple of octopi there some kind of a lobster is in one of those and uh you got some uh jellyfish i don't know what the hell the thing of the giant eye is there's a huge grasshopper looking thing locust looking thing yeah how'd you like to find that your grilled cheese uh i would not like it sir i would not like it at all echo then there's a cat skull down there those are all cat skulls i think except that middle one yeah that's a trip and these people like what do they have shops normally? and they come out and have a booth and then you can go to their shop later?

I think that they do a lot of online stuff, and then they just come to these expos. I can't imagine shop space making enough money, or making enough money selling this stuff to pay for shop space. Wow. All right. I feel like I've seen some things today. Hey, Anna Cracketow have not yet been to Meow Wolf. One just opened up here in Colorado, but I have been to the one in San Francisco. Fay and the one in

excuse me, Las Vegas, so hopefully... What's a meow wolf? That is an art installation gallery, big walk-through gallery thing that George R. Martin helped fund the first one in Santa Fe.

And it is, you've seen a video of me walking into a refrigerator. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that thing. Okay, now I remember. I want one of those two. Oh, they're so cool. The Vegas one is great. Omega Martin. It's worth checking out a few if you go to Vegas.

Yeah. Well, we will be going at some point. Vegas will happen. All right. Well, on that note, we're going to do some done away. Do done away is what we're going to do. Yeah, let's do done away. And to do that, he just has to answer his effing thing.

It's just ringing. You know, it's ringing there. I see it blinking. It's like, hmm, it's like he's there, but he isn't there, you know, one of those deals. He's half there. He's half there. He's full there now. I see him down.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the program Brian Dunaway. It comes on Mondays and Wednesdays. We play a little game. Give some prizes away. Fun stuff like that. Hi, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Is it Monday or Wednesday already? It is Monday or Wednesday today. Yes. Yeah, you choose. Excellent. You choose your own adventure here. I'm going for Wednesday. Wonderful. Let's fast forward this week on. That seems like a great idea. I'm all in on this idea. Hey, it's Brian Dunaway, everybody. And not only will he and I be doing a show, later today. We'll give you details in a bit, but

we had a really fun film sack over the weekend. I just had to mention that. Yes. Yeah. So if you want We watched Alien to the 3rd. Alien to the power of three. Yeah. And it was a good time. So if you want to check out the episode, you should. It was a good time. It was a great time.

It was all wet and trippy. Well, yeah, that was the good time. I also enjoyed the movie a lot. So I'm good. Yeah, I told you in the show, and I'll say it again. I've gotten to a place in my life where I have forgiven what it did at the beginning and I've and I'm just using

I'm just watching a David Fincher movie now and it's good I like it you know story decisions aside I still have two I can go back and watch that feel good about it it's all fine just took me like 30 years to do it all right look in this day at age

we've become so familiar with multiverses I can pretty much excuse any one movie no matter what it does even if it doesn't exist a multiverse. I can go, I can tell myself, it's a multiverse thing. You're going to basically explain away Alien 3 as it took place in a separate universe as

the regular. But even they're kind of doing that. They got that new book out, which is the other script that takes them in a total different place. Like, I have no problem, especially in comics and stuff. We've already been doing that for a hundred years in comics. Why not now? Why not here? Dunaway, welcome. It's good to have you here. We're going to play a game. Brian's going to explain how it works. Who's going to win and what they'll win. Brian. I will do that. Welcome to the morning, squirm, a back-and-forth trivia game where our players will match wits on topics that, you know, Cliff Clavin of the Cheers Bar would have offered up. Scott Brin will take turns answering multiple-choice trivia questions, 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 we're pulling contestants for members of the Tadpool that aren't able to listen live.

Scott, you're going to be playing for Mark Flesser, Flazer, if, Mark F. Let's just say Mark F from Delton, Mississippi. Nice. Am I? Am I is Mississippi, right? No, Michigan. No, Michigan. No, Michigan, yeah.

No, Missouri, no. MS. MS is Mississippi. It's Michigan. It's Michigan. Dunnoy, you're going to be playing for Veronica Susie from Seattle, Washington. Yes. And whichever one gets first place gets a copy of the Adventure Pals and State of Mind on Steam.

But our second place winner is not going away empty-handed. They're going to get a copy of Guacamayle, too. Ooh, you could argue they're getting the better game. Yeah, that's a good game. Better hope for losing. Yeah, it's real good. All right, so I can't remember who won last time, but we're going to start with Brian on this one.

Perfect. Brian, if you meet someone using a dating app, studies show that there's a 48% chance that the relationship will end this way. Is it? A, via an email. B, getting ghosted. C, face to face, or D, with cheating. So how will... 48% of dating app relationships end with either an email, getting ghosted, a face-to-face

breakup, or one of the people cheating on the other? I can't believe that death is not in there. I was pretty sure that would be the one. Well, isn't that the definition of getting ghosted? Right. Literally getting ghosted. 40% are going to end with a big old fast ghost. This was going to happen.

It's October. Nothing spookier than getting ghosted on a dating app. Right. Is the answer getting ghosted? No, it is not. Scott, the remaining choices are. Scott, you get the point. The remaining choices are via email, face-to-face, or with one cheating on the other.

I'm surprised there's no text option there. That's interesting. Oh, right. Yeah, no kidding. No, that's too, that's too intimate. I mean, is it, though? I don't know. It doesn't feel that to remove from an email to me.

But, all right, I'm going to say email then because my guess is, my guess, well, I don't know. This is total guess. I don't use these services. But I'm guessing if you're going to break up, you might use the service itself to do it. And they've got built in ways to do it. So emails end up getting sent. So emails. Email is 100% correct.

Really? 40% chance that the relationship will end with an email. That is insane. You know what? I think texting is too immediate. Exactly. Exactly. That's what I was thinking.

Texting is very intimate and immediate. I mean, people get pissed. Exactly. If I had their address, I'd break up with it to be a snail mail. How after you do slam your phone down? because you're read an email. Never. Text message, you can get mass. Right. Yeah. No, well, I mean, text is even on there. That's surprising me.

But like the fact that it's not ghosting is surprising. I really would. I would have put that. Who gives out their email anyway? On a date map, weird. It's got to be through the app, I'm guessing. All right. Well, Scott, you get this next question. Speaking of dating, a match.com survey revealed that a guy who does this will triple his chances of scoring on a date.

So what can you do to increase your chance of the date ending with... I like these questions. Get lucky. Is it, A, talking highly about your mom. B, asking about her pets. C, opening the car door, or D, chatting up the Uber driver. Which one of these will triple. your chances of the Uber jumper feels personal

Ibit like you've well I drove for Lyft yeah yeah so Brian was Brian was the chattee in that case Right that's right exactly You're not gonna get lucky up here Yeah not up here in the front seat All right I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead

And make a weird assumption I don't know how they get this data This is weird data I don't know how you get this out of people But I'm gonna say exit surveys Exit surveys talking up their pets Talking up their pets Asking about asking about her pets

Yeah And also, there's no way it's an exit survey where it goes, hey, on those nights where you got lucky. What do you think it is you did? Yeah, right, exactly. Which of these 12 things did you do? Yeah, there's no way they did that. That is a weird way. All right, asking about our pets, is Scott correct?

No, that is not correct. Brian, remaining choices. Sure. Talking highly about his mom, opening the car door or chatting up the Uber driver. if anything is if if porn hub has taught us anything is chat up the mom chat up the stepmom no you mean talking highly about his mom ego yeah that is also incorrect

if you're nice to the Uber driver then uh you apparently show that you are a good serious yeah exactly that is BS that is some now I might have gone that is some Uber BS right I might have gone that way had you said, is nice to the Uber driver, but just chatting it up with them? Chatting up. Chatting up the Uber driver is what the answer says. Weird. Interesting. Weird. Okay. Maybe that just gives them a better idea of how you communicate or something.

I mean, chatting up the Uber driver is being nice to the Uber driver. If you were yelling at the Uber driver, no, take the highway. What are you doing, taking the tunnel? This survey brought you by Uber. Call us now. That's right. All right. Oops, sorry. I don't know why they did that. Continue.

No one went yet. Well, back to Scott. All right. Think about this the next time you see somebody sneezing without covering their mouth. What is the distance that a sneeze can travel? Is it, A, 200 feet, B, 60 feet, C, 15 feet, or D, the length of a football field? Hmm. That one.

So I feel like I saw this on. We should be equipped with this, right? Because we've been, we've always talked about it. as COVID for last year. I know, right? Yeah, you think we just know. It seems like this would come up recently. This was a MythBusters thing, and they did this once.

Did they really? Yeah. I don't think it was a football field. Or maybe that was the myth they were trying to bust. Maybe, yeah. I'll say 60, it sounds right. I don't know. 60 feet.

All right. Is the answer 60 feet? No, Brian Dunaway. The remaining choice is 200 feet, 15 feet, or the length of a football. ball field. But what's the question again? Not the not the answers. The distance,

the distance that a sneeze can travel. Hmm. Hmm. See, that's a weird way to put it. What do you mean travel? Like entirely intact? Like particle bits? I think particle bits.

How far do particle bits? When does a sneeze become not a sneeze and become particle bits? Because it's going to be a football field otherwise because it could travel. Well, indefinitely, but once it reaches a certain point, when is it no longer? Well, I mean, I'm going football field because it's just a weird answer, football field. Oh, man. Okay. Is the answer football field?

No, it's not. The answer is 200 feet. 200 feet? According to this. That's a football field. 300 feet is a football field. It's a little shy of that. So it's like firing an arrow.

Eventually it's going to drop. Yep, exactly. And I don't know. You know, I guess this means, like, in a, in a non-wind situation. Yeah, because a sneeze isn't an arrow. It's not a, you know, it's not a, you know, it's not a form. You know what I mean? It's kind of like, when does it not become a sneeze anymore?

Right. I guess it's just measuring droplets. I don't know. I don't know. All I know is. I love these questions, though, they give us a top opportunity to talk about. Exactly. Yeah.

My new non-masked social distance is now 200 feet, everybody. I'm just like you. I need you to keep a 200-foot distance for me. Thank you. All right. Back to Brian on this one. If you're driving. It's more like a straining order, by the way, 200 feet.

Anyway, go ahead. If you're driving and a deer jumps in front of your car, it's recommended that you do which of the following. Is it, A, yell at the deer. Yes. C, swerve to avoid hitting the deer. C, keep driving straight, or D, slam your car into reverse. Oh, my God.

How is this even a question? There's only one answer in that's to keep driving because everything else is going to put you in a more dangerous situation. A car is generally going to win against a deer, your best odds. Or to go ahead and mow it down. All right. Is it keep driving straight? Yes, it absolutely.

Oh, man. Right off the bat. Right off the bat. Dude, you're always, always, every night had to avoid deer. Every night. Did you really? Yeah. I used to do, too.

Where I used to live in the commute I had, I had to watch for deer every day. Which was funny because the deer I would hit or I would get close to hitting was right on the street across from the new NSA building that nobody knew anything about. This creepy government building they built out there. Really? And they were always that, this big monolithic, no one can go inside, no one comes out building. and then deer you can hit. It's weird. Wow.

Yeah. That is weird. We don't have deer around. I mean, we don't have to worry about deer too much here anymore. We've seen them, but they've moved more south. But we have bears now, apparently, that hang out on the bike path. Now, oh, that is scary. But I'm telling you, just about most everybody around here has a deer dent in their car.

I mean, it's just, it just happens all the time. Yeah, you just got to plow through it. You just got a, yep. Yep. You got to knock out those deer dents. All right, Scott. Well, Brian's got enough to win, but you get one more question to see if you can rack up a point. The world record for the largest object to be inserted in somebody's anus is.

If Pornhub has taught us anything. Yeah. Is it? A 1.8 pound, 9.2-inch circumference stone. two 16 ounce tallboy beer cans side by side a men's size 10 and a half construction work boot

or D a standard size traffic cone Ever see a threat number C Did the traffic cone Is it include the base or just the cone? Just the cone part Okay So it's some frat guy with the

With the base hanging out of his hooter while he's got the rest up as Jim Jam. All right. I'm going to go with, that one seems, that one seems possible because it's tapered. Yeah, you work up to it. You know what I mean? Like, you don't have to go all in at once.

That boot is in, no way. No way someone put a boot up there. I like how Ibitt was, was this right on the tapered thing. Oh, it's tapered. Yeah, it makes sense. That's how you do it. I mean, you've got to, you got to think about all these, right? The 10, the 2, 10 ounce tall boy beer can side by side.

Side by side, what a weird configuration. I remember in somewhere, someone told me, and I don't remember the context of this at all, but somebody said your muscles down there can only handle about seven inches before everything just shreds. Y'all have way more butthole knowledge than I do. I feel I haven't been doing my due diligence. I just remember somebody telling me that, and I don't know if that's even true, so I'm kind of basing this on nothing, but I'm going to go with that cone. Let's go with the traffic cone.

All right. Dunes. Is it the traffic cone? It is not TAMX. Oh my gosh. You care to take a stab at this one? Absolutely.

I'm going to go with the ever, the threat that I've experienced. I'm going to stick a size 10 boot up your plate. I think that is... You think it is the... I think that's based in some type of reality

that, you know, I think that's what's going on. Okay. All right, is it a men's size 10 and a half construction work boot? It is not, though I love to have the specifics of that. of that answer. No, it's actually a 1.8 pound, 9.2

inch circumference stone. Oh, wow. Always go with the accurate measurement answer. Yeah, exactly. The cone seemed like a fun college prank, you know? It does, yes, exactly. But that happens once a week and it's not really a record,

right? Right, right, right. I mean, those things happen all the time, but I'm just saying, and nobody, listen, all you young college upstarts, don't put a traffic cone in your butt, or the, or the beer cans. Don't do that. that. Yeah. Right. Don't do the beer cans. But by all means, put anything in your butt.

By all means, put that huge stoke there. Don't do what Eddie Murphy told you to do in that song. Don't listen to Eddie Murphy and put it in your butt. Don't do it. Or Tom Green, for that matter. I think Tom Green also tried to tell us to put a bunch of things in our butts. Does anyone under 30 know about that song that Eddie Murphy did, I wonder? Put it in your butt. Yeah, put a big tree in your butt.

Go Google boogie in your butt. That's it. It's a weird. It's weird. I don't know why it exists Short time that Eddie Murphy decided to do music that and party all the time Oh that party all the time dude What a that might

Okay Have we ever said what we think the worst song of the 80s is Because I think that one is there It is up there I know I can't say I grew up to that I can't say it's the worst song It is the worst song It's bad

What else is bad? It is up there We all grew up to it We were all kids then We all it's bad what's the other one we built this city maybe that's pretty bad that's pretty bad i think that one might be my i think i might hate that one more there we go there we go okay i'm confused because i think you're crossing wires between what's bad and what you hate there's not oh okay all right what's a bad song yeah uh party all the time is a bad song it is a bad song

I don't think it's well composed, I think it's, you know, competently sung. I don't know, I can't, you can hate it, though. Yeah, you can hate it, but should you? It's got to have some really inane lyrics for me to really hate it. That's, that's my, that's my thing. That, what's that Lean on Me remake? The Club Nouveau? Yeah, that's great.

I just like that. That's got some good funk to you to it. I bought the, but don't trust me, I bought the tape that we could happen, but now I regret it. Let me tell you. How about She's Like the Win by Patrick Swayze from the Pretty Dancing soundtrack? How about I tell you this? The lyrics to that are just like, are they a high school notebook 14-year-old poetry or what? Let me tell you, let me tell you this.

You never heard the worst song from the 80s because you never heard it. It's the worst song from 80s. You never heard it. Right, right, right. The most popular bad song of the 80s is kind of where we're going with us. Because, yeah, there's some, there's probably stuff out there that, never saw the light of day on radio or anything that are that's far worse than what uh claregack really wants to push george harrison's i got my mind set on you it's a bad one it's bad let's let's face it

the safety dance is not really a good song i mean is catchy oh i kind of like safety dance i love it i love that song if you want you can leave your friends behind listen that song's all right that song's all right i'm not going to go with you down that path you that's a lonely road you're on i like safety dance it's good boy dice tomato pushing de do do do de da da da da i love that song and uh red fraggle pushing uh mexican radio by wall of voodoo i love that oh i love mexican radio yeah and turning japanese another good one like there's a bunch of songs you might think are like is that a good song i mean turning japanese i think i'm turning japanese i really think so do not it's such a weird thing we're talking about taste at this point we are we're talking about Yeah, we can't have this argument.

It's the 80s, man. This is the greatest decade in modern history. It's an amazing time. J.K. Grammer gave me a link to a video, but I can't tell what video it is. You're going to get Rickrolled. Oh, it is. Patrick Swayze. She's like the wind. She's like the wind. Through the tree.

It's so shitty. All right, Brian swung me over. I think I'm taking it. It's really bad. It's really bad. All right. Well done. Hey, no, you have more questions. Or did we get them all? No, that's all.

Dunaway wins. Oh, well done. Congratulations. Congratulations. Veronica Susie from Seattle. Congratulations. You are the winner of the Adventure Pals and State of Mind. But, Mark, from Delton, Michigan, you are not going away empty handy. Empty handy.

You are going to get a copy of it. Well, we learned on Porn Hub today. That's right, exactly. That empty handy The empty handy What's the largest thing Everyone has ever put now Guacamale 2

Going out to Mark From Dalton, Michigan Very, very nice If I'm honest You got the better game All right The other one's fine But you know

This graca melee is an amazing series It's a pretty fun game All right Today at 330 Mountain Time Me and Donaway Are going to be doing The Boop show That's B-O-O-P

You know like a sound A video game might make DOS boop Yeah, Das Boop, which is a show all about indie games. We cover the Indies and the retro market and that kind of stuff. And this week's no different. Brian will be covering potion craft today, which I've also played. Very excited here.

Alchemy simulator. There's something that Scott was going to play. And then he freaked out. And I took it. I played maybe as much as you. But I have questions about it that are keeping me from full recommendation. So today it will be the day I find out what I'm doing wrong. all right okay so we'll check that out i forget what mine is but it's good too anyway that'll be today

at three 30 mountain time right here at frogpants dot tv or on the podcast later whatever you like brian denouis is there anything else you'd like to say uh yeah um falco rock me amadeos amadeos amadios oh my deos that's a good sign vienna calling oh uh lady oh that's another good one you're not putting any falco on this list yeah uh lady in red by christaburg Ooh, that's pretty good. Oh, I kind of like Lady in Red. It's a lady in red. How about I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder.

Oh. Now, mm. It's okay once in a while, not too often, though. Like, yeah, I got to have. Overlaid with some Disney animation clips. Maybe. Really? Where's that?

Yeah. Oh, you don't remember that? Do you remember the 80s? The Disney did the, they did a whole bunch of like little clips from their, like Bambi and Snow White everything. Put it to that song? Yeah, put it to popular music. Not just that one, but other things. I don't remember that at all. I don't remember that a bit.

A lot of fun. Hold on a second. So what was the duet that David Bowie and Mick Jagger did? What was that? He did dancing on the street. The cover of a great song. Yeah, the song's fine. That's what I want to make that distinction. That song is fine. Oh my God, I've missed so many flashbacks. If it weren't for that video though, Scott, would you would you not dislike the song? I hate that video. Wait, do you guys remember a show with Lorenzo Llamas that was on Friday nights and

there was ladies dancing around in lingerie? And that was kind of like solid, it was kind of like solid gold, but it was a different thing. It was Lorenzo Llamas. You all remember, you remember this guy? No, I barely remember Lorenzo Llamas. What was it? What was that called? It was literally, it was just a music video show.

And instead of, you know, instead of dancers, well, they had ladies. and lingerie dancers. Yeah, it was like a, it was like, it was like, it was like, it was like Soul Train and Solid Gold had a baby. Yeah. I'm trying to find it here, some TV here.

I'll tell you, pulling up his list right here. Lorenzo Lomas. I know, right? That guy. I want to repeat it at the worst song. I bet he had a song. He was in a movie in 1969 called 100 Rifles as

Indian boy. It was Lorenz Lamas, right? I'm not remember. Maybe it wasn't Lorenzo Llamas. I'm looking at his television history. Maybe not. Maybe it was a, maybe somebody else, Lorenzal Lomas like.

Shows like solid gold. If you search for that, shows like solid gold. Oh, was it dance into the hits? Catby Kipper might have found it. Dancing hit hits. That's it. Okay.

Yeah, that's got to be it. That's exactly it right there. Who's the host? Who is that host? Is that, oh, Adrian's Med? It was. It was. It was, it was syndicated.

Yeah. Oh, it is Lorenzo Llamas. Yeah. It's funny. He just happened as credits. He wiped that one from his Facebook page. The Wikipedia is. Not Facebook.

His Wikipedia page. His Wikipedia for dancing. Dancing to the hits Wikipedia is the shortest Wikipedia I've ever read. The link that the Caputper put in is exactly what it was. Here's a woman dancing to lingerie. What's the song she's dancing to? Yeah. Do you have a link to that?

I got this. I'll put it in our. I'll put it in our chat. You can enjoy it. Yes. All right. They've muted the music from this video probably because of the copyright violations. Oh, well, that actually helps me.

Let's see here. I'm going to put that in here and we're going to look at it for a minute. Look at that, everybody. Oh, that's, yeah, Lorenzo. Look at him with his feather hair and his dancing lady. Look at her dancing. Look at her. Oh, man.

Look at that crimps. She's been crimped. She has a crimper because that's what my sisters did. They all crimp their hair then. Yes. That was a thing to do. So many leopard print leather jackets. Oh, yes.

Oh, here's a bed scene with a lady in her bed clothes. Oh, yeah. This is a little more like, hey, solid gold ain't giving you what we're giving you kind of deal. Wow. Oh, this is horrible. Yeah, it's terrible. I love it. Okay.

Well, the point is, what was the point? The point is, Brian, have a great way. The 80s, and you tried to say that you knew the worst song from the 80s. good luck yeah good luck with that uh there's no such thing as being able to narrow that down there there's some really bad examples but there's also some amazing music it's still the greatest decade ever okay everybody so calm yourselves down brian that's right have a great couple of the rest of your life we'll see you this afternoon do it all right it's time for us to uh we're going to take a break that's what we're going to do okay all right we'll take a break

when we come back we'll make some stuff with bill and then major spoilers i got questions for him about this Sandman Netflix deal. Yeah. Very excited about it. A little Charles dance in there, you know, we get some stuff. Also, I guess there's some news in that Scarlett-Johansson lawsuit, so we'll get to that as well. Yeah, you'll find out what's going on with that. Yep.

So that's all coming up here shortly after this musical break, presented by Brian Ibbett Industries. Yes. So we're going over to the San Francisco Bay Area for a quartet named French Cassettes. Their sophomore album, Rollodex, came out. last December. But they are going on tour for it. And so because of that, they've shared a brand new single called Good For It. They'll be performing this at all of their West Coast dates. They're going to be in L.A., Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Francisco. So if you like this, and I do, then you should go check them out. Here are French cassettes with the song, Good For It.

That's such a great name. French cassettes. I don't know why I like that so much, but I do. All right, Here it is. We'll be right back. Without you, of course I don't Still Oh, dude, that's good news You sent you good morning What have you got to lose When you're good morning

Good morning Good morning Won't put you up on the fire place mantel who what would you next to a Jesus Christ candle ooh I need you more than

anybody else can't know but nobody else was less in need so come back could I ever see myself without you of course I don't know could you ever

see yourself without me I hope you do still Dude, that's good news, he said you're good for it. If only you knew it grew, but you're good for it, good for it. Truth be told, I also came down with COVID, but like Joe Rogan, I also threw the kitchen sink at it and ingested a Z-pack, horse dewormer, cow estrogen, goat plan B, oyster anxiety medication, horse re-wormer, worm ecstasy, embalming fluid, COVID-19, a kitchen sink, and $200 cash. And after three days of being paralyzed on my kitchen floor, I felt amazing. I was chilling out with my bros tonight. The morning stream.

It's like having your tongue stuck to a frozen pole. All right, that song once again was. That song is good for it by the band French cassettes. Go see him now. They're touring the West. coast. So, Lindenade in the chat, he and I are having words here a little bit. He says, saying the 80s and culture in the same sentence is a travesty. Oh, come on.

Lennonade, how old are you? And did you exist during that time? If you did in any sort of meaningful cultural way, you're crazy. The 80s is amazing. So Lindenade, are you saying that I can't say culture club came out in the 80s? Because that's putting 80s in culture in the same sentence. To say there's no culture in any decade is like kind of a... weird take that's a weird hot take i like you though yeah exactly uh all right let's uh get into the world of tomorrow today no that's not true we're adding not yet bill yeah we're not doing that bill will be here that's right don't know what's this freaking thing both of our guests uh from a world of today yeah the world of today they'll probably do something tomorrow but we don't have access

to that information they don't have access for what they're going to do tomorrow not yet not yet anyway. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Check it out, everybody is Bill Duran, who is now with us all the way from the Pacific Northwest, from the Punished Props Studios. What's going on, man? Hello, my cat wants to say hi. Oh, that's

adorable. Hi, Willow. All right, she's done now. Willow's, uh, she's getting to be an old timer, right? How old is Willow now? Pretty old? Um, 11 now. Oh, geez. All right then. We got them right right after we got married, so it's easy to remember. And I got married in 2010, which

There's a good year to do it. Very easy math. Yeah, that's right. Man, it's so weird to think you were married that year. It was the year I met you for the first time at that nerd tag. Yeah, geez. And it's just weird to think that was your wedding year. Mm-hmm.

Weird. All right, 2010. It is weird. We miss you. All right. Hey, well, it's good to have you here. I assume you've been probably working on some stuff. What's going on over there?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. So last week we put out a shop tour video of our basement shop. It's the sort of thing. people really like to see, they like to kind of get, when you're filming, like, when we film our YouTube videos, you don't really get an idea

of the space, and it's kind of fun to take the time to slowly go through it all, kind of point out where everything is. So we did that last week, and it was really fun. That's awesome. We moved a few months ago, I've talked about that, and the new

setup that we have, we spent a lot of time putting it together, and we have a lot of features to show off. So that's what we up doing i just sort of wandered around the basement point in it stuff and talking about all the all the changes we've made and uh i wanted to share that stuff in case anyone watching who wanted ideas yeah basically uh they was building out their own home shop uh in their basement or garage or or a bare room or whatever what if your studio what if your studio your podcast studio is a huge mess and you're just too, you just can't be bothered to clean it up.

How about that? That sounds like your, I don't know if my shop tour video is going to help. Maybe it'll help inspire you. Okay, I'm going to do that. I'm going to watch it. I'm going to see how orderly things are, and I'm going to say, it's time. Bill, Bill is now, finally I'm over the edge. Let's get this done.

Oh, yeah. Wait a little you see all of the containers I have that have labels on them. Oh, and all the stuff is in the kitchen. containers not just lying about it's really good yeah that's cool that's it's gotta be i love watching other people do shop tour video sometimes people do something really fun with it the cliche thing of course is to turn your shop tour video into an episode of cribs which is always fun yeah uh our buddy david petuto did that for his old shop which is really great that's cool i've never even seen an episode of cribs but i could i know exactly what that must look like yeah right right

the same here, exactly. It's weird. In fact, I could probably recreate an episode of Cribs just by watching a bunch of shop tour videos that are trying to look like an episode of Cribs. Gotcha. That's all it would take. But mostly it's just, yo, yo, yo,

check out this bathroom, yo. It's like that kind of talk. That's all you got it. Right, yeah. So I recommend, makers of all stripes, go and look up shop tour videos on YouTube, especially if you already have a maker that you like.

See if they've made a tour video. They're really fun. Also, I recommend, even just go into, if you're looking for shop ideas, for your workspace, just go to YouTube and look up shop tour. You will find dozens of them in a variety of disciplines. That's one of the things I like doing. Obviously, I like looking, seeing what other prop makers are doing in their shops. I love, I had the chance to scour Adam Savage's shop and take pictures and look at all the tools and everything, which is awesome. But it's great looking at shops of people who don't do the same

thing as you. It's such a great way to start mining for new ideas that you might be able to incorporate into what you do. So you can see a woodworker and you're like, oh, well, if he's doing that, I could do that with this prop. Totally. Absolutely. And I like to watch videos of like woodworkers or jewelers or blacksmiths or machinists. Even though I don't really do all of that stuff, their ideas for how they organize and manage all of their working, woodworking paraphernalia or machinist tools or all that. They're all really great ideas and they can be incorporated into what I do. And they're also just fun. It's just really fun to see someone who's proud of their space show off that space. Talk about it. Well, that's cool. Yeah. I feel like I need to do that very thing more.

I need to get out of my shell and look at other shells and adjust my shell accordingly. That's definitely a place I'm at right now. What's cool is if you're able to take a little time to do it. So we've spent like the last three or four months really, really diving into our shop and setting it up so it's perfect for us. And this is my fourth iteration of a workshop since I've started building out like my tool collection. And every time I do it, I learn new stuff. I bring in ideas from the past setup that we had. And I change.

You know, I know what I used. I know what I didn't use. So the new space changes quite a bit to reflect the way I use it. So the new space, it's our old basement, but it's all new down there. This is the way we have it set up now. Our office up in our dining room, really, is now our office. We don't use the dining room, especially during a pandemic. It's not having people over for, for cheeseboard?

No, we're not doing that much. So the offices are upstairs now, which gave us a little more space downstairs. There's one room in the basement that's kind of finished. The floor is still concrete, but the walls have drywall. So that's our clean, and you can't tell, but I'm putting out air quotes, clean room. And that's our studio. We made that into our studio. The walls are all finished, so they're white.

which is better for reflecting light. That's where we do most of our filming. I have my main workbench set up there with a lot of the tools I use right there. So I don't have to run around the shop looking for stuff. And we can spend most of our time there filming there. We have our lights. It looks cool.

We have all our decorations up. That's our studio. Yeah. The other three quarters of our basement is the unfinished half of the shop. And that's more of the dirty area, the dusty, dirty area. And there's a door between them so we can hopefully keep the dust over there.

But that's where we have all our woodworking stuff, our big power tools that make a lot of dust. We have our dust collector. That's in like kind of a woodworking area over there. Yeah. As it should. And then, or go ahead. No, I was just going to say as it should be.

This is how, this is these, everything you've described so far sounds like they're not just smart changes, but, you know, like is there value too in the idea that, you're going to walk in there after these changes and it's just there's a newness to it and you're just out of the old routine a little just a little bit like moving your furniture around it does feel very new and it's it's new and it's everything's very deliberate where it is so it just feels good yeah uh to go hang out down there and i do that sometimes i'll just go down there with my coffee like five minutes just walk around to be like hmm nice yeah nice i like this pretty cool

Yeah. So we have sort of different areas set up down there. We have kind of the woodworking area. That's the dusty area that we usually for like breaking down big stuff. And a lot of sanding, a lot of powered sanding over there. Then we have a machining area where I've got my lathe set up. I do need to get a mill still to put over there. But that's its whole other space.

So all the tools for machining all live over there. And then around the corner we have a bunch of storage. like all of our paints every brand of paint we have is in a different container that's labeled feels so good probably even the different kinds of paint right like stuff that's okay to paint on plastic there's the stuff that I paint on resin or whatever we have probably 30 or 40 different paint containers oh my god wow all labeled uh and then if you move on back into the shop we have kind of a c and c area set up which is very fun um I have a computer over there to run the 3D printers and the laser cutter and the vinyl cutter

and a CNC machine. And that's just a cute little quarter. And again, all the tools I need for those all live over there. And then kind of deeper into the basement, we have our deep storage for all our materials and kind of a molding and casting area. The only thing we haven't quite figured out is a painting area.

And I think most of our painting, especially any sort of spray painting, we're just going to end up doing outside. We have a back porch. It's dry out there. It's the best way to keep any VOCs out of the house. So that's kind of the setup we have. And we've started using it a lot, and it's really working.

I still have a little work to do. I still have some more labeling to do. But it's working really great, and it feels awesome to work down there. You're inspiring. You guys don't miss having the shop in town or anything like that. Like now that it's back in the basement, it's kind of feels like it's a lot easier to go back and forth and stuff, right? Sure. Yeah, there's pros and cons, obviously.

that giant shop was amazing. It was wicked cool. I loved it. It was expensive, though. It was, yeah, exactly. That's money that you don't have to spend now, right? Exactly. And now my commute is about a minute.

I have to walk downstairs. I did like having a 15-minute commute to, like, decompress on the way to work. Like, I don't mind either way. It wasn't that long. But being able to just, like, roll out of bed, fall down the stairs and be in my shop, especially if I need to fix something in my house. And I need a tool. Pretty awesome that that's downstairs.

So we've been enjoying it quite a bit. Cool. That's awesome. Very cool. I want to, so did you, is this stuff chronicled? Like, can we see before and afters or any that stuff? Like, that would be really cool. There's a little bit of that in the tour video, but most of our moving and before and after,

we did a lot of that in our Patreon videos. Gotcha. So, if you're a patron, those are all that. That's good. Extras, yeah. I was going to say that's good content for your supporters. That's great. Very cool. Well, I still need to get out there and see that basement studio. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Open invite. Yeah. Anytime, right, can just show up in the middle of the night, 2 a.m. Bill, get out of bed. Sure. Yeah, get out of bed, damn it. I'm here to see your shop. And you'll say, what? And I'll say,

it's me. It's Scott. Remember, we had an open deal. That's how we'll go. All right. Just everyone listening, Scott is the only person that said deal. that's right there's no we don't have any kind of legal there's no legal there's nothing legal about my deal all right that's no well uh that sounds like great of course this and so much more can be found over at the channel punish props.com and the youtube channel that corresponds with it uh bill the bonusy thing this week yeah got a fun worded working video talk about someone who's got a wicked cool shop frank howarth uh he's a woodworker he did a woodworker he did he made a globe

out of wood using his lathe and his C and C machine. It's a huge wooden sphere, and the water is one color of wood and the land is a different color of wood. And the water, not just one color wood, but like

also different textures and like the rings, the color variations the grain, yeah. The grain, thank you. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Wow, that's cool.

It's really cool. The video's long. It took him a few tries because it's a very technical challenge to get all your land masses in the right spot and everything. Sure. But a really fascinating look at the process. Oh, no kidding. Because he's having to do each of these as a triangle and then basically assembling it as a decahedron or whatever it is and then smoothing the crap out of it. Right. So it does end up on the lathe to make it into a sphere, but it starts as a geodesic dome. It's like a D200 dice or something. Right, exactly, like he's making Epcot. That's awesome.

It reminds me of like low-poly, like 3D image. You know what I mean? Like I'd love that. That's so cool. Like a low-poly that you then take you to a ray tracer. Yeah, we got to hit smooth. We got to do a poly-smooth like three or four times on that. Yeah, yeah.

That's so cool. Very cool. All right, go check that out. That's over. Frank Howworth, like Howard, but with a T-E. age at the end. That's who you're looking for there on the old YouTube. All right, Bill,

have a fantastic week, man. We'll see you next time. Alrighty. All righty. I know. Okay. There goes Bill. There goes Bill. There he goes. Yeah. That's where he goes. He goes there again. Yeah. All right. Let's get Stephen Schleiker. You know him.

You love him. And he has an intro. Where is it? Steven Schleiker. Steven Schlecker Look who it is It's Steven Schleger Speaking of many-sided dice That guy's familiar with those What's going on, Stephen?

Hey, Scott, hey, Brian, not a whole lot Are you at school right now? You're at school? Yes, I am. We're getting somewhat subdued, Stephen. Oh, it's been a morning. Let me just say that. Has it already?

Oh, geez. Oh, good. Hopefully we are a respite from your hideous morning, I hope. Maybe. Sure, let's say that. Okay. Well, pretend that that's true.

It's good to have you here, of course, as always. Steven Schleiker, the purveyor of all things, major spoilers. One of my favorite websites when it comes to comics, pop culture, and more. It should be yours as well. Go bookmark it. Major spoilers.com. The few things going on, before we get to the Sandman Act 2 Audible thing, which is pretty cool in its own right, all hands on deck for the Sandman Netflix series, as far as I'm

concerned. I'm very interested in this. It's got a cool cast. so far they've shown basically a teaser scene from it where charles dance and a bunch of people are around for the summoning and whatnot uh yeah right out of the comic right out of the comics yeah ripped right out of there which makes me think that this thing will be ripped right out of the comics like they're going to be true adaptation is that not a fair guess or what do you say Neil Gaiman is the showrunner so I would hope so oh well that yeah that's a good I didn't

realize he was show running as well as you know yeah news the source but that definitely helps Yeah, that helps a lot. No, that's great. Are you, I mean, where are you at with it? Are you much of a Sandman guy in the first place? I'm not a huge Sandman fan, although I do enjoy it quite a bit for what it is. I've got, if anybody can still find them, the absolute omnibus editions that D.C. puts out these big oversized collections. Really, really good stuff.

Sometimes, especially in the early parts of Sandman, it gets into a little bit creepy territory and body horror. territory that I'm not a big fan of. So that's kind of a turnoff for me. But, you know, otherwise, it's good times. It's a good story about, you know, power and who has power and giving back power. And, you know, just, you know, exploring this world of the endless that Neil Gaiman has expanded upon and created. Yeah, kind of his, you know, it's what really put him on the map. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. This is the thing that really push him forward. So to see you all these years later to, you know, a chance for him to, I didn't know your show running. That's cool. That's really good. That's great. I'm excited about it. So all of those, by the way, everything you mentioned is up on the DC app now.

They have the entire Sandman run, including newer stuff too. But if you're, you know, if you're trying to find it, you can find it. And that stuff's great. I would highly recommend that. And if you don't mind a little body horror like me, you're good. You know, it's fine. Little body horror, never hurt nobody. Unless it was your body.

I mean, unless it's your body. Yeah. If it's your body, then maybe that hurt a little bit. Well, anyway, that's coming soon. I guess the one thing that's interesting about the upcoming Netflix series, which says coming soon, I think they just wrapped up shooting on that in August. So it probably, when they say coming soon, probably won't be until next year, is my guess. Yeah.

Probably early next year. They've got some really good actors in here. I suspect that there are going to be huge chunks that they can't use and do because I notice that there is an actress who is playing. Jenna Coleman from Dr. Who. She's playing Johanna Constantine. I have a feeling that they don't have the rights to use like John Constantine or Mr. Miracle or some of those other characters that are D.C. related. So it'll be interesting to see how they dance around that. Oh, interesting.

I wasn't thinking at all about that, but they're integral to the story. Right, aren't they? Yeah, especially in the first, and especially because I'm guessing that season one, which I think is around 10 episodes, will basically cover Morpheus coming, you know, escaping from his prison and then going and tracking down his three, you know, his three bits, his sandbag, his ruby, and his helm. And that requires going and interacting with the Justice League International and interacting with John Constantine and there's references to Swamp thing and a whole bunch of other stuff that it would have been nice if they don't have access to that, that's fine. but it would have been nice to see, you know, John Constantine from the C.W. show who's, you know, came from the NBC Constantine show to have that actor continue to reprise that role across all D.C. properties. What if County Reeves just showed up and said, I'm Constantine. What would you do then? How would you feel about that?

I mean, some people are okay with that, I guess. You know what's great about that movie is Peter Stormair's God or no, Satan, his version of the devil or whatever. so freaking good he eats that thing up and also what's her name's good in it weird lady who is in she's in the MCU now the old one so many weird ladies in the

MCU now the tall weird one with the weird she's in that she plays the master and the Sorcercerter's Supreme Tilda Swinton Jesus Louise yeah yeah and don't get after me because I called her weird looking that's her whole career is about weird looking that's the whole point she's got quite the like John Oliver

poked at Tilda Switten this week starting a live poke to Tilda Swinton this week. Yeah, she's an unusual looking person with an amazing acting talent. And so those two things combined. She's a very compelling looking actress. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there, keep your emails to yourselves. All right.

What happened with the Scarlett Johansson? Oh, no, before we leave, Sam Man, sorry, before we leave that, sorry, the Sandman Act 2 thing coming to Audible. This is interesting because it's got a pretty good cast, and I didn't even know there for Act 1. So is just going to be? Act 1, I believe, double check for a while it was free. So if you have an audible account, you could get Act 1 completely for free.

You may have to charge for it now. But basically, it is an audio adaptation, a full-blown audio production of the Sandman Comics. So they did this before, this is an audible original. So they did this before with Lock and Key, with Kate Mulgrew, was one of the characters in that, Janeway from Star Trek. This one, man, they went even further. So, like, the whole series is narrated by Neil Gaiman, James McAvoy plays Morpheus. in Season 2, or Act 2, which just came out, they've got John Lithgow is in it.

Kevin Smith plays Merv Pumpkinhead. Jeffrey Wright is Destiny. Jeffrey Wright currently playing Uatu, the Watcher. And David Tenet is in this as well. So they've got a really good cast, and it's really, really well done. You know, I always question, how do you adapt a comic book into audiobook form?

And they do a really good job. job of it. So people should go check that out. Like I said, it's very well done. And if you're trying to get geared up for the Netflix series, the Audible stuff might be that next best thing because again, in conjunction with Neil Gaiman, he's narrating the series. It's

very good. And Jeffrey Wright's about to be Commissioner Gordon in the new Batman thing when that ever comes up. Yes, that's right. Yeah, he's all over the place. Next year, I guess. See what happens when you go from Robot to Yeah, you go from, I don't see anything or whatever they said on that show. What they say on West

world. I don't, this doesn't like that. Yeah, I don't see anything there or whatever. And that last season petered out so hard. The first half was great. And then they blew it. I don't know what they were doing. Anyway, back to life, back to reality. Let's move to that. That's not a bad song for me. Scarlett Johansson, lawsuits over. What happened? She got everything she wanted, right? It all worked out in her favor. Right? I'm going to guess yes, to be honest with you. I mean, what they did is they settled out of court like we probably expected it would. Because quite frankly, if this did go to court, part of the discovery is Disney and Marvel Studios would have to bring forth the entire budget for the entire movie and an accounting of everything that they spent on the movie and how much money they brought in, how much money went out.

That gets into the weird Hollywood accounting aspect of, you know, very few movies ever make money. It's like 95% of movies never see a profit. All of them are, you know, failures or whatever. So that's the one thing I think Disney didn't want to do. Plus, Disney got a huge PR bungle when they were just coming out and slamming Scarlett Johansson for bringing this lawsuit up. So my guess is she was looking for $50 million. My guess is she probably got somewhere in the neighborhood of $35 to $45 million. Wow, that's pretty good money.

I could buy things with that much money. I mean, I know she didn't settle. I know she wouldn't have settled for anything less than 35. She said in this, her she put out a statement, so to Disney, but she put out a statement after the resolution said, I'm happy to have resolved our differences with Disney.

I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in years to come. I mean, read into that what you will about Black Widows, you know, I don't know. Because honestly,

the character, it would all have to be prequels for here and forever, right? Because of what we know about end games. Well, you know, Multiverse of madness. Yeah, multiverse of madness. Snap a finger. Oh, yeah, that's true.

All this stuff can be reset. Yeah, have you guys been keeping up with multiverse of madness? No. Only through the stuff that's happening in, in, you know, like Venom 2. Oh, I meant what if. I mean, with what if. Oh, yeah. No, I haven't watched any.

Have you seen the most recent episode this last week? Oh, it's great. I love what they're doing with this season. Yeah. It totally, for people that are just like, oh, so these are all stand-alone stories, it is but it isn't especially with this last episode where it's all like oh it's all come together and here's what it points to and there's a little uh i wouldn't say that there's episode swapping but the story's not told chronologically to an extent uh so it's it's very very good and i've gotten

used to the animation style i'm not a huge fan of this oh really oh i'm not a rotoscopy looking no i hate i hate i hate three-d disguised as two-d animation. Okay. See, I really like, I think it's the best use of that style I've ever seen. Oh, I would agree with you there. I mean, go and look up the Treasure Planet to see how that can fall apart. Right, it's still not what you like, but it's, yeah, no, that's, and by the way, that character, that's who I want in Age of Ultron. Oh, that Ultron? Okay. That Ultron. That's the character I want in Age of Ultron. Heck with James Spader. Yeah. Go back and change it. Edit it in.

There's your multiverse of madness, just edited version. Scott, I think you would enjoy it. You need to watch it. I will. It's like everything else. I'll get them. One night, I'll get on a wild hair and I'll watch the whole effing thing and one big swoop. Have you seen Star Horse Visions?

No, not yet. These are super short. I mean, you can literally blow through this in two hours, the whole season in two hours. Yeah. They're like 15 minutes and they're great. Well, that's good. Those I heard are just art, just pure art, like amazing. things. Yes, I think they're going to offend some people who consider themselves

Star Wars purists, but for what the project is, it's very, very good. Yeah, I'm very excited about it, actually. That one, like things like, you know, the Matrix or Animatrix and anytime anybody gets a bunch of anime, like, top shelf anime artists and animators together and puts them on a project like this, it's always great. It's always amazing. So I have little doubt that that's, like, one of the coolest things I should be watching right now. I just haven't done it. But I will.

I will. I will. I'm reading too many comics, dude. Have you ever watched Loki yet? No, it's because I'm reading comics. I'm reading comics every night. Like every night. Every single night I go, you know what I should do?

I should watch one of these shows. Everyone bugs me about. Or I could read three issues of this. So if you haven't, last week since I wasn't on, here's a recommendation. Go check out. supergirl woman of tomorrow it is basically true grit grit meets supergirl

really yeah and it's great and it's really really good oh yeah you mentioned this somewhere yeah last week's email yeah that's what it was yeah I'm totally gonna do that that sounds great I don't know if it's on the unlimited I don't know if it's moved into your unlimited service yet

but definitely definitely read that series it takes what six another three months now so and I guess I guess it just depends on where it is. Yeah, so you're probably, the first issue is probably out on the unlimited service now. I'll check it out. Yeah.

So, yeah, I've just been watching. I've been reading so many comics. And everyone's like, you know, there's. You need to be like, uh, it's like this modern day nerd peer pressure. It's the worst. It doesn't mean to be all one or the other. You could mix reading comics and watching comic-based television and movies. I mean, I could, but I also, you know, busy, got a lot of stuff going on.

There's a lot to do. Uh-huh. And so then I got the whatever limited time I've got, and I do that. And I like to play video games. You're familiar with those? I like those. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Yeah. So, you know, it's just a lot of content. We live in a, we live in a time and a place. I'm just saying it doesn't have to be one or the other. Like, you know, if you're planning on reading comics four nights this week, maybe do two nights of comics, two nights of Loki or what if or a parasite. I don't know or any of those things. You bet you. Hey, Hey, World.

I'm going to do a thing. I'll do it. Watch. I'll do it. All right. Hey. I have a feeling. I'm going to mark this on my calendar right now. I'm going to say, ask Scott if he's seen Loki. And I'm setting this for January 22nd, 2023. Oh, 23. I'm giving him a year and a half to watch Loki. I will have seen it by then. I am almost 100% sure. But go ahead and put it on there. Oh, man. We'll do a check. want to take bets. Anybody want to take your bet.

How long has it been since Scott's Nazi parasite? Well, yeah, I mean, that's that. But I mean, I feel like he's got to watch it before Dr. Strange on the Multiversea Venus of Madness comes out. I feel like that, like all these things kind of. They're all tying up because even Spider-Man. I mean, Dr. Strange, that's still, what, six months away? Yeah.

But you got that new Spider-Man's got him in there and, you know, all this stuff with Dr. Strange involved. I have to catch up before I see. I bet by January 22nd, 2022. He's cut up to Loki. Pops and her client wants to know how many times I'll see MMFR or Fury Road before then. And it might be a few.

I'll admit that. Right. It's what's going to be a bummer is that, you know, all the comic reading is going to keep you from watching Dune when it comes out. You know, you're too busy reading comments to watch Dune. That is a guaranteed night of. There's zero stopping me there. Oh, really?

Oh. Oh, weird. Oh, yeah. Weird, right? Weird. Yeah, weird. Weird. Weird how I prioritize these things. All right. So there you go. Stephen, what's going on around major spoilers that maybe people at home might be interested in? So one of the greatest comic books of all time, I know some people are like, but you guys already talked about saying, man, trust me. One of the greatest comic books of all time, Atomic Robo from Scott Wagner and Brian Clevenger, is something that you all should read. And you can read it for free because they have it up on their website now. Everything that they put out comes out first on the website and then print later on.

We're looking at the most recent, no, two volumes ago in our continuing readthrough of the Atomic Robo series for the major spoilers podcast. We're going to be talking about this this week. So everybody tune in and check that out. Yeah, it seems often. Always something good happening over there. So check it out. Steven Schlecker.

He is major spoilers on Twitter. Have a great day at school. Stay hydrated. Bye now. Teaching the kids. The next generation. That's right. That's right. Under his tutelage.

His tutelage, right. His tutel, all doing the utelage. All right, check this out. Listen, Tadpole, it's a good balance, right? Like, Scott will always be here. If you guys are into the comics, you'll have Scott to chat with about the coolest comic stuff you're reading, and I know there's a lot of you out there. And if you're into talking about the movies and TV stuff, I'm here too. So you're getting the best of both worlds.

Yeah, and also, I don't know why they care so much. Like this question here, can we mention the dystopian desert in Loki so he can watch it? No, it's all hilarious. I get it. But I don't know why anyone cares what I've seen. I don't get it. A post-apocalyptic scene in Parasite is fantastic. Great.

I'm tuning in tonight. I'm watching the whole thing tonight overnight. I'll be dead tired tomorrow, but boy, it'll be worth it. All right, here's a mashup. It's a Monday morning mashup from our good pal Jamey, aka TMS mashups. This one's called Spelling with Scott. Oh, good. Hey, look, since we're already on Scott for this other thing, let's go ahead and pile on.

Let's see what else we can do. So let's enjoy this. Enjoy it. Here it is. So this is the day we learned that Brian is naturally pink. This view of Brian's head really. Just a close up of my pink head. Yeah. Oh, I found a man wiener. Look at this.

Have you ever done a hitchhiker? Have you ever picked one up? I've never done a hitchhiker. No, Scott. I've seen my share of Brazzers videos. Oh, what's this in the middle? Little, do you have anything to say about this dude in his Batman costume? Yeah, I never want to see the Dark and Night Rise, if that's, uh, yep, that weird squirrel come behind, run on the frame, and run all the way up to the front.

You damn squirrels, I would ride, right, right, speaking of my judge. Yeah, the do-do-donpa roller coaster, do-do-donpa, I'm sure that's right. Dude-da-donpa, yeah, do-do-don-pa, something like that. You can come up with some Kiss branded flash drives. Oh, this is a great idea, Gene. Let's get on this. Why haven't we done this before?

What is a flash drive anyway? I'm Paul Stanley. I'm from Kiss. Paul Stanley's Kiss wants to know. What's a flash drive? Do you think Chattner agreed because the ship is a penis? Because look at that thing.

Yes, that's probably why he agreed. They know this, right? Bezos knows that they've created a penis ship, right? He knows this. For pretty much every angle. It's a penis. It's an anatomically correct. Some might say pleasing penis.

Oh my gosh, Meredith Baxter Bernie coming out of a jamba juice. So let's, let's ask her what she's up to. That's a deep pull. Meredith Baxter Bernie. Oh, my gosh. I was basically just trying to circling the 80s sitcom drained. Yeah. I do love it when you talk about jambly because in the show notes it's always jambolia.

Like this weird spelling that... Jumbolia. Jambolia. I can never be bothered to spell it properly. Let me try it again if I'm really thinking. All right, let's see, let's see how you do. I'm curious. I'll go J-A.

Uh-huh. So far's so good. M. Uh-huh. Yep. B-O-L. B-Y. No.

J-A-M-B-A-L-J-A. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Jamb-Y-A. Oh, so close. L-A-Y-A. There you go. There, done.

Jamba. Jambah. Got it. Only took 100 years. Oh, I could go for some jambolia right now. That does sound good, especially some seven-day-old jambol-old. You know, it's been threatening at some point, if we ever run out of games for Babel Real, I want to do a spelling bee with Scott, where the listener has to predict whether or not you can spell a word that I give you. That's a terrible idea, but actually a wonderful idea. We should actually do that.

Terribly wonderful idea. That's pretty good. Let's do it. We'll do it when you're not feeling so piled on. Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it. Now, I assume there'd be words like, like, give me an example. What kind of word we use here? Uh, let's say, um, uh, paradigm. Paradigm. Let me do it. Let's see if we can do it. This would be a test, an early test of, uh, okay, all right.

So pair, P-A-R, it's going to be easier for me to type as I do it. Sure. Not until you get the red dotted line that says incorrect in each. Yeah. Par. Or it finishes, or it finishes the word for you. Is it P-A-R-A-A-R-A-D. D-I-G-N.

What was the last letter you said there? G-N, N is it? Oh, A-P-A-R-A-D-I-D-I-G-N. M is what I meant. So P-A-R-A-D-I-G-N. That's exactly right, yes, yes. Okay. That was, I had to type it to know, though, because I'm terrible.

Yeah, we're not going to let you type. If we play this game, you've got to do it completely in your head. Yeah, this was rough for me growing up for some reason. You'll have to put your hands on top of your head for the, uh, for the visual. I'm almost like worst case scenario because growing up, spelling was hard for me and I just was never good at it and got through,

but it was just by the hair of my teeth. Now we live in a world where we are actively encouraged to not worry about it because everything you can correct, everything gets a red dotted line, everything has something on the browser that says, did you mean this instead of what you search for? Exactly. All of it is like there to make up for that.

And so I've never been forced to truly feel, face how crappy I spell things. Totally. No, and same things happened to phone numbers. You know, you used to, as a kid, you had about a dozen, maybe a couple dozen phone numbers in your head. You knew your mom's phone number, you know, at work. You knew your grandparents' phone number. You knew, you know, this number and that number.

And now I know my mom's home phone number. I know Tina's cell phone. And I think, you know, maybe. be one or two others, but we don't have to remember phone numbers anymore. Like, what if we get stuck somewhere without our cell phones? We have to call somebody. Can I borrow your phone? Oh, you don't have my friend in your contacts.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, and the same thing with, like, I was just talking to Kim about this again the other day. I don't know her number. I really don't know my life's number. I used to. I don't know. Because why? Because it's right here if I need it.

Exactly. Yeah, that's the problem. Now, she knows everybody's because she's some kind of weird. You know, perfect human, but I can't do it. Savant, yeah. Anyway, well, that's all well and good. Let's move on to this quick email from a listener. Sure.

This is from Omega 9X. He usually is in the chat. Is he today? Might be. I just saw them earlier. Might be. Anyway, says, a short-time listener, first-time caller, just wondering, as an actual artist, do you read comics differently than us?

Oh, good, there's a comics question. Do you read comics differently than us normal people? I started reading the all-new Wolverine based on your recommendation. I probably spent 20 seconds tops looking at a page and then panels fly by with a short second glance at the art. Do you spend time admiring the art in the page? Sometimes there is a spread and I zoom in and look, but most of my peripheral catches the action and moves on.

Just running if you have a better appreciation after doing it for so long, thanks for all your content and insight. Well, Dan, I don't know because I don't read comics. I only watch television. He only watches TV. The pictures have to. move um no i i i do look i art is a big part of it for me i can't for sure i can't like you could present to me one of the best written comics but if the art is just bad or or not appropriate

or the styles of fit or whatever it really takes me out of it when the art and the and the writing like jive like scott snider and greg capulow when they work together or you know there's always great combo artist and writers and that's why you often see them do a lot together It's because that stuff just really jumps off the page. And I'm more distracted by bad art and comic books than I think I would be if I wasn't, you know, a budding drawer. Right. Yeah. And I'm always looking for like, why is his head out of proportion?

Or why is that guy's leg too long? Or, you know, I can't read. Rob Lobfeld had some amazing ideas. He made Deadpool. He made cable. He's an amazing creator. But his art sucked. And every time you'd see his art, it would take me away from whatever story he was being told.

Yeah. And everyone loves to make fun of Lifefield. But for me, it was that simple. It was just like, I can't, I can't pay attention to this. For me, Dave Cockram. Not Dave Cockram. I like Dave Cochrom. No, it was, oh, my God.

It was the guy who drew Rom Space Knight who made Sal Sal Bucema. Oh, there you go. Not to be confused with the fantastic John Bucema. Yeah. Or Bacima. Bacema. Are they brothers? They're brothers, aren't they?

Or are they? I'm pretty sure they're related. in some... It's an unusual name. Somewhere. Yeah. It is. I'm trying to find my app here so I can actually point out an artist.

Let's see. He is the younger brother of John Bucima. Okay. Oh, here we go. Here's a pronunciation. Bucema, Sal Bucema and John Bucema. And John, you like more than Sal? I love John Bucamah's art.

I'm a huge fan of John B. Sam as Spider-Man and stuff like that. But Salby Samma, or Silvio, his born name, always tended to, if he drew any characters with their mouth open, it was always the same square mouth shape. It was like Mike Zek and always drawing feet straight on, so it looked like people were running around on pegs. Yeah, this happens. An artist will have a signature thing, like somebody will draw a nose. Always use it. Yeah, and you'll see, every time you see that little nose accent, you'll go, there it is again.

I'm distracted from the story. I'm not paying attention. It totally is. Yep. But, you know, you show me anything. If you, and kind of the opposite is true, right? If you find out, for me, if I find out, if I find out Kyle Baker is drawing something new or drawing and writing something new, I'll immediately gravitate to it. Yeah, it's a no-brainer, read it.

Yeah. Same. I do this with Sean Murphy. He's probably my favorite creator right now. I really like Sean Murphy's work. If you've read any of that White Knight Batman stuff, man, he's good. He's not only writing. but he's doing all the art, and his style is just so freaking cool.

He was born to draw Batman, that guy. Anyway, there's your answer to your question, and if you've got questions, send them in, the morning stream at gmail.com.

At least in Sweden, it is.

It's also my birthday, so I'd like to request a cover to myself by the brilliant artist Lloyd Cole. P.S. Love the show.

Happy birthday to you. All right. It's making sure. All right. So, Lloyd Cole, boy, another musician who came up in the 8th. 80s, early 90s, Lloyd Cole to commotion, so such good stuff.

Matthias wanted to hear his Leonard Cohen cover. He's actually done a couple. He did a cover of famous blue raincoat, but he did this one as well. This is Chelsea Hotel No. 2 covered by Lloyd Cole from the I'm Your Fan, the Songs of Leonard Cohn tribute. They came out in 191.

Here is Lloyd Cole. I remember you well In Chelsea Hotel You're talking so loud and so sweet You're giving me a head On the unmade bed While the limousines wait in the streets And those were the reasons

And that was New York We were running for the money and the play That was called love For the workers in song probably still is for those have been left And then you got away Now didn't you babe

You just turned your back On the crowd Yeah you got away I never once heard you say I need you I don't need you I need you I don't need you

And all of that driving around I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel. You're famous, your heart was a legend. You told me again that you preferred a handsome man, but for me you would make an exception. Clenching your fists for the ones like us who are oppressed. I figure's a beauty.

Yeah, I fixed yourself, you said, Well, never mind we are ugly. But we have the music. Mammy, you got away now, didn't you, babe? You just turned your back on the crowd. Oh, you got away I never once heard you say, I need you, I don't need you, baby, I need you, I don't need you, and all of that, jiving around.

Oh, I mean, why and I'm at my own. Oh, wow. Oh, and I know. Ah, and me, oh, and me, oh, and me, I'm going to be all. Ah, and my name. Man, you got away now, didn't you, babe, you just turned you back on the crowd. Oh, you got away, I never once heard you say, I need you.

I don't need you, baby, I need you. I don't need you. And all of that, driving around. I don't mean to suggest I loved you the best. Can't keep track of each falling robin. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel. I don't think of you that often. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network.
