Morning stream. The Hell You Say.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, October
11th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian. Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott. Happy Monday. Happy beginning of a brand new
week. Thanks, man. Thanks. It was a busy weekend, but, you know, we made it through. And we did. We're here. Came out
clean on the other side.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, I had a, I don't know, there was a lot going on, but I didn't manage to do a bunch
of stuff I never thought I was going to get through.
Would you like to hear one of the major ones?
Okay.
Yes, please do.
Well, first of all, I'm going to share something with you in our Discord.
This is a very visual thing, so I apologize to people at home.
Chat room, I'll let you see it as well.
But this happened.
Oh, my gosh, that looks infected.
Is that, you're going to have a doctor look at that?
Well, it's not even my real.
It's not even my actual penis.
Just kidding.
This is an animated gif of me almost watching Parasite.
Oh, okay, whatever.
I'm going to make sure to take a picture of me almost taking out the trash and send it to Tina and see what she thinks of that.
And make sure you have it as the focus window.
I like you just hover back and forth over the play button.
Is there audio that I'm not hearing?
Nope, it's just a gift.
And it's, you know, it's just count for anything.
It doesn't.
It doesn't count for anything.
You know what it counts?
for is me going through the work of creating a
gif of me hovering over a thing, which I'm
no intention of watching.
I know, right. That gift probably took you
longer to make than it would
take to watch the movie. You know, it would take me longer
to make that gift than it would take to watch the movie.
Yeah, I did it in about 30 seconds. But anyway,
see, the, I didn't watch that.
But I did watch
Black Widow. Oh, good.
Not Widowmaker. You didn't watch K-19
The Widowmaker. No, I didn't watch that.
Accidentally. Yeah, not...
I thought Scarlet Joel Hanson was supposed to be in
this thing. All I see is
Indiana Jones, that's it. What's
going on?
No, I saw
the Black Widow and it was
great. It was a great time. I really liked it.
Yeah. I think, you know,
and some people thought it was a little
too much of like standard spy-tropy
kind of spy movie.
It's kind of what I wanted. It's kind of
exactly what I wanted. That's how Marvel
excels, right? I mean, they do
movies that aren't just
a straight-up superhero movie. They make it something
else.
Venom, I don't think, is as good because it is, it just tries to be a superhero beaten up a
supervillain.
Really, it's an anti-hero beating up a supervillain.
Yeah, yeah.
You've got that Florence Pugh is amazing.
She's fantastic.
She really steals the show.
Like, I want, I want all her dialogue.
I think she's just like a superior actor to everyone.
She's just that good.
She is.
She is.
Great.
David Harbour's great.
Yeah, Harbour's great.
That surprised me.
I thought it was going to be pure parody.
and it was great.
I had some real heft to it.
I like Rachel Weiss.
Right.
You know, you watched her husband this weekend.
We'll get to that in a minute.
I did, yeah.
But that was the thing.
So when that was over, it was like Kim and I are having this kind of Sunday where we're like,
we're going to catch up on stuff.
And that sting, before we get off of it, that stinger at the end.
Oh, yeah.
You see what I mean about how it does answer the question that you asked me this last week on the show about what the setup might be,
where we might see her next.
And I think the, I think the Hawkeye TV show or series is going to be the next place we see her.
Probably, yeah.
And I don't know.
What's the deal with Elaine?
Why is she in that?
Is she in the MPU?
Oh, because you haven't watched Falcon Winner Soldier yet.
Oh, I did, but I didn't see the, well, I fell off toward the end.
So I'm like four episodes into that.
Yeah, I never finished it.
Oh, you got to, well, you got to finish it.
Okay.
All right.
It's good.
Yeah, I thought that was really good.
All right.
Well, it was...
Oh, so you're really good at half-watching...
I'm good at half-watching. Yeah, I'm really good at half-watching things.
You know, I mean, if you're like, you do that too, right?
If you're three or four episodes into a thing, you're like, uh, okay.
Yes, if I go three episodes in and I'm still not digging it, then I bail out.
Although, people have told me to go back and give, um, what's that show?
Everybody can go F Kevin or something like that.
Kevin can go F himself.
Oh, right, with, uh, with what's her name, Alexis?
Alexis from Schitt's Creek, yeah.
Cancel.
Oh, my gosh.
It'd be great if your echo show heard you say Alexis and said, David.
Ew.
Ew, David.
That would be great.
That's all it did.
Didn't respond and ask you, what can I do for you?
You, David.
Yeah, that'd be great.
But then we binged Ted Lassow until about 2 o'clock in the morning.
Cool.
Just season two or binged from the beginning?
Have you seen the season?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We watched season one.
as far as episode 9, so we have 10 and 11 left.
You are three episodes ahead of us, and we started binging it yesterday, too.
So you haven't gotten to the Coach Beard thing then?
No, I have not, apparently not.
What in the hell was that?
I still don't quite know what to make of it.
You'll get there, and I don't want to spoil anything, but weird.
I know everybody complained about that Christmas episode.
I thought it was fine.
Oh, I love the Christmas episode.
Absolutely fine.
I thought it was sweet.
Yeah.
What was wrong with that one?
What do people?
I don't know.
People were complaining about it.
I think, uh, I think Randy was complaining about it.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
But have you,
have you watched the Christmas episode yet?
I've moved Catwoman to the Christmas episode.
So wait a minute.
The Christmas one is, I thought it was nice.
What's wrong with everyone?
I thought it was nice too.
I had no, no issues with that.
I really liked it a lot.
I mean, it was, it was a change of pace, but.
it was a nice change of pace.
Is it because everybody doesn't want to celebrate Christmas yet?
Because you're all a bunch of curmudgeon lamos.
Is that what's going on?
It is weird.
It is really weird to see a Christmas episode in August or September, in this case, October.
I guess so.
Yeah, but I mean, I think it came out.
I think it aired in August.
It did.
But I remember seeing like, what, die hard in the middle of the summer and thinking,
yeah, weird Christmas, but it's okay.
Christmas is great.
Yeah, that was just fine.
All right.
Well, the second, or the second, or no, I'm sorry,
the last episode we watched, which was this coach beard thing.
I still, I got questions.
Interesting, okay.
We're going to have to talk about it on the other side so that you can.
Maybe, you know, maybe we didn't get to the last episode during our binge
because I kept wanting to go back and look at Keeley's outfit in that Christmas episode.
Yeah.
Can I rewind, Tina?
Do you mind if I rewind again?
I think I might have missed something.
Yeah, I want to see sexy Christmas outfit again.
please yeah but i like the sub this sub story about the bad breath girl it was cracking me up
it was great looking for a dentist and yeah it's so good it's it's an interesting thing
and ted and rebecca going out and playing santa claus yeah that was nice i like that all right well
f allie maybe they didn't like the little uh the santa claus at the end cartoon thing up in the
sky maybe that's oh maybe but that's just in that kid's imagination whoever whoever didn't
like that has no soul that's what i'm saying also if you watch the coach beard one keep
Keep in mind the kid that saw the thing.
I'm just saying, just saying.
Maybe that'll help you.
Maybe that'll help you with that episode.
It's a complicated thing that episode.
It's weird.
Interesting.
Okay.
All right.
I watched, I finished Midnight Mass this weekend.
Oh, how's that going there?
Excellent.
Good, good Halloween viewing and, my goodness, the end of episode five.
Holy crap, to those who've seen it, I'm not going to say it.
I'm not going to say anything else about it, but holy crap, the end of episode five.
And the whole series, it sticks to the landing.
It does a really good job of getting you to the end.
And, you know, you're kind of sad about who makes it to that final episode and who doesn't.
But that's it.
That's all I'm going to say about that.
And did Coach Taylor ever show up?
He ever show up to help out?
He never did.
I was really hoping he'd come to the.
the island and say uh that's a shame saracen yeah saracen get out there don't you come over to my house
for dinner and night sarac yeah dude 10 laps and then you're coming to my house we'll have
we'll talk about you and your grandma and your problems yeah okay i was hoping for that uh did the pope
did the pope ever show up and hold mass did that ever happen with the pope uh the pope
nope nope nope to the pope not even a zombie a zombie pope or a ghost pope none of that no zombie no
Ghost, no We're Wolf Pope, no, none of that.
But make sure you finish that series before it gets too long because it, you know, you don't get
recaps in that show.
Like, I do like when there's a show we're watching, and it's been a while since we've seen
an episode, and previously on Such and Such.
And most of the time we skip it, but because during a binge, you don't need to.
Sure.
Need to see that stuff.
But there's no recap in Midnight Mass, so you want to make sure you keep going.
You also cracked the why the last man.
I did, yeah.
I think I'm almost caught up to all the episodes that have been released.
I'm halfway through Weird Al is dead.
Episode Weird Al is dead.
I have not gone to that episode.
You're ahead of me by one then, I think.
Okay.
And it took me a second to freaking recognize Missy Pyle.
Oh, yeah.
I did completely have not been recognized her.
That first time you see her, like, oh, wow, okay, this is a pretty stern lady right here.
And then at the end credits roll just a few minutes after you meet her.
And I'm like, oh, my God, that was Missy Pyle.
I still wasn't sure after I saw her name in IMD.
I'm like, wait a minute, who are you?
What is this character?
And then someone pointed it out or finally told me.
And I was like, oh, well, that's new.
She's usually a Wackadoo girl.
She usually is.
I mean, we don't know.
She might still be a Wackadoo girl in this, but.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Messy Pile, everybody.
Messy Pile.
Messy Pile.
We used to call her that on,
That wasn't, you yell R even.
We used to color music.
Oh, really?
That's funny.
What a horrible.
What a horrible name.
It was a horrible name for a lovely, lovely woman, great actor, comedian, all that.
Yeah.
We also went and saw as you alluded to earlier.
We saw no time to die.
132 minute James Bond film that, in my opinion,
um, it was a great, great send-off for Daniel Craig's James Bond.
Is it a good James Bond movie, though?
It's a very good James Bond movie.
Okay. It's, um, uh, yeah, it, it, uh, I mean, do you want to see
Spector right before any might?
Because it does pick up, the, the, the Daniel Craig movies have done a great job of, like,
picking up right where the last one left off.
Um, I've seen everything but Spector, though.
Okay, then, then watch Spector before you see it.
The Spector is streaming on Hulu right now, I believe.
Yeah.
as of a couple days ago,
I think all the Daniel Craig ones
got added to Hulu.
It does some things
that I've never seen them do
before in a Bond movie,
and it really, really surprised me.
This one's not a spoiler,
but you get
theme music from another James Bond movie
in this one.
Oh, Moonraker.
Specifically a...
No, from...
Well, if I tell you,
One of the George Lazenby movies, I guess it kind of gives it away, doesn't it?
Because he was only in one.
Yeah.
He was only in one.
So, yeah, you get.
Weird.
It is weird.
It's cool, though, and it's a great reference.
Like, it's a very appropriate reference.
You still got your Ray Fines as your M or whatever.
You do?
Yeah.
You got Ray Fines.
You got that new Q younger guy.
You've got Manipene.
I mean, you get the whole.
you get the whole set of, what is, MI6?
MI6, you don't get any Judy Dench flashbacks or anything, do you that, or do you?
You even get a little Judy Dench, I'm not going to lie.
There's a, and a little Doug Llewellyn.
Doug Llewellyn?
No, Doug Llewellyn was the old Q.
Who was the old M?
Oh, back in the day.
Back in the day.
You get, yeah, you get, you get quite the, and it doesn't not feel.
at all, like, fan service.
It's like, oh, this is great.
It's good.
Lots of good car chases, things like that in there.
Good car chases.
Well, you know, a solid storyline, Rami Malick.
I can't believe he did the entire movie and didn't blink once.
It's amazing.
He does his whole life without blinking once.
He does.
I know.
He's inhuman, is what he is.
Yeah.
Hack the world.
Oh, Desmond Llewellyn.
You know who Doug Llewellyn is?
Doug Llewellyn was the guy from the people's corner.
Durn, dun, dun, dun, yeah, that's who that is.
Jasmine Llewellyn.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's an easy one to mix up.
Look, I have that right there.
Just right there at the handy.
That's who, that's who Doug Llewellyn was.
The People's Court.
Our litigants have agreed to settle their dispute in our forum.
Yeah.
Which means they signed a waiver saying they'll never take it to real court and they just want to be on TV.
Exactly.
Yeah, you know what that means.
Anyway, excellent.
Excellent send off to Daniel Craig.
and I don't know what they do next.
It's all I can say.
Well, they probably just do like always.
They start over kind of, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I just find a new guy and go, all right, let's go.
Or lady or whatever.
I don't care who they pick.
I think Bond movies, I mean, I don't think they've ever been better than they've been with the Daniel Craig stuff on the whole.
And so it's going to be a tall order to get the right person for the next thing.
but, you know, all these rumored people, I'd be fine with any of them.
Mm-hmm.
They all sound great.
Somebody told me Tilda Swinton was in some running the other day.
Oh, really?
That's a weird pick.
She's too, I think she's too towering.
She's like a giant crane's going to destroy us all.
I don't think it works.
Maybe.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe.
But you get your, you got your...
Adisa of Wombat says, New-O-7 is a black lady.
Now, have you seen the film at ease of Wombat?
because that question is
asked and answered, I think.
Oh, is it now?
Yeah.
Hmm.
Oh, Haley Atwell.
Haley Atwell as a James Bond would be great.
She would be good.
Oh, and I forgot to mention we watched the first what-if the Captain Britain thing.
Oh, the Captain Carter one.
Yeah, yeah, it was good.
I liked it a lot.
It's cool.
Yeah, what do you think of that animation style?
It reminds me, it probably is actually.
I think they're doing that in a game engine.
I don't know what, maybe Unreal or something,
but they're using techniques that I think...
I actually think that is a very cool crossover
and I don't have really a problem with it.
Like, people don't realize,
or maybe don't know this because they haven't looked at the behind-the-scenes stuff,
but most of the Mandalorian is shot with Unreal Engine stuff
happening in the background and effects and stuff.
It's amazing.
No, it's incredible.
So I'm all in on that, and this particular thing looked like a video game, but in a good way.
I don't mean that as a pejorative at all.
Yeah, I was worried at the very beginning and seeing the trailers for what if before the show started that it was going to be distracting,
that that style of animation was almost going to look too much like that.
That's what took me out of scanner darkly and whatever the other one was that used that same rotoscoping, weird computer-generated cell shading thing.
This avoids those trappings and feels more dynamic and more hand done and that sort of thing.
The chat room, somebody in the chat says it's the same style as the Spiderverse.
Not even close.
It's not even close to that.
I would call this more like it's really cut scenes in a video game.
It's really what it feels like.
But a really well-made, expensive one.
It's nice.
And I liked it.
I really enjoyed it.
Kim did too.
And she didn't think she was gunning.
She was like, oh, is this animated?
I'm like, what do you have against animation?
She goes, no, I just don't know if I'm in the mood.
And then we watched it.
Oh, that was great.
Let's keep going.
Like, well, we got to watch Ted Lassick because Carter's home.
Oh, okay.
Well, we'll watch more later.
So anyway, it was nice.
Cool.
All right.
Sorry, I'm just checking to see why my cameras.
It's only, it's a tiny bit fuzzy.
Here's the thing.
If I open that webcam settings, it's going to look like I'm in a either under French fry lights
or I'm in a troglodyte cave or something.
Yeah.
Chat room.
Leave Brian alone.
He's fine.
Leave my camera alone.
He looks fine.
He looks great.
All right.
Let's get a, let's get a, uh, a, uh, a Dunaway in this part of the world.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do believe, uh, I do believe that will make us have, we'll go from good time to great time.
Mm.
With Dunaway.
I agree.
I agree.
He elevates things.
Except for some reason.
It just said, use are not found.
Okay.
Oh.
There.
Now he's found.
I don't know what that was about.
I heard he just decided up and quit.
He's just out.
He's like, I'm done.
Forget it.
Yeah, I'm done with Discord, yeah.
F this stupid software.
I'm never using it again kind of thing.
All right.
Fair enough.
Well, while we wait for him.
Maybe.
Maybe a defendant.
Brian Dunaway.
He's in trouble for growing his tree too big or whatever the hell they used to do.
All right, here it is.
Hey, look who it is.
It's Brian Dunaway joining us from South Carolina.
Hello, Brian.
Hello. Hi, Scott and Brian.
Hello. How are you?
How are you?
Oh, it's the new week.
You know how I feel about new weeks.
I love them.
New opportunities, yes.
What do you love most about a new week?
What is that new opportunity to afford you in your mind?
What do you like?
Everything.
Anything that failed last week is behind me.
It's in the past is the liking.
That's good.
Because weeks are an arbitrary construction.
It's a construct of human minds.
We all made it up, right?
The week is just a thing we all agreed is a thing.
So you've been able to parlay that and say, all right, I'm taking this human construct known as a week,
and I'm going to use it as a way to reset my mental acuity, right?
That's what you've done.
That's what I do.
Every, like every Sunday night, I go, okay, what happened last week?
Oh, that was bad.
We'll start over.
Yeah.
Now, do you ever think, oh, this week will just be like the last one, and I'll just have to keep doing this in perpetuity.
You can tell him dead.
Yeah, I hate those weeks.
Those are the worst.
Those are bad weeks, yeah.
Yeah, there's the worst.
All right.
Well, let's start it off right for you today with this fun time together.
And also a chance for some listeners to win some stuff.
So, hey, Brian, but why don't you take it away and tell us what the hell we're doing?
I was afraid I was going to have to go for a second because doorbell rang and I thought it was some people taking out the trees next door.
Nope, FedEx, just dropping off a package.
Very nice.
Hey, welcome to the morning squirm, boys.
It's a back-and-forth trivia game where our players match what's on topics that Cliff
Levin would have offered up at the cheers bar.
Scott and Brian 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 from members of the tadpool that
aren't able to be here and listen live.
Scott, you're going to be playing
for Katie T. from
Nevada, I believe
formally from
Chicago, because I met her in Chicago.
Brian, you're going to be playing for Brendan
J from Concord, North Carolina.
So just, you know, you can probably wave to them from your window.
Just say, hi, Brendan.
A little fist bump.
That's right, the Carolinas.
Yeah, exactly.
You got to share those panthers.
Form of a giant state.
That's right.
You know what?
You guys are like Voltron and you make one giant panther that plays the NFL.
Yeah, good job.
It's interesting.
You guys are both playing for people who live in the state adjacent to you.
Oh, that's cool.
I like that.
All right.
That's cool.
All right.
Let's give you guys some questions.
I think, Brian, I think you won last time.
So we're going to begin with you.
All right.
Hey, remember McDonald's?
Remember when you went and had a McRib live during a coverthon?
You went and drove there and actually ate a McRib while we did a live coverthon.
I remember that.
I'll never forget it.
Yeah.
Well, the item with the most calories at McDonald's isn't a McRib, believe it or not.
Which menu item clocks in at 1,000.
$1,090 calories.
Is it?
That seems light for McDonald's.
Go ahead.
It kind of does, doesn't it?
Is it a large raspberry triple-thick milkshake?
Is it a 20-piece box of chicken McNuggets?
Is it a large McAfee-Orepo?
Or is it a big breakfast with hash browns and sausage?
I'm surprised Big Mac's not on there.
Say the question again.
I heard the possibilities, but go ahead.
Yep.
The item with most calories at McDonald's isn't a burger.
which menu item clocks in at 1,090 calories.
God, I just, I just know that breakfast thing, that big, that big breakfast crap.
Yeah, isn't that the one with a pancake too, like eggs, pancake, it is.
It is.
Oh, my God, never look at the calories of one of those, uh, of those pancake egg McMuffin things.
Where there's things called the, uh, oh, McFlurry?
No, no, no, no, no, the McRiddle, McRiddle.
McRiddle, yeah.
But now I'm going to go with the, the big,
giant nasty breakfast d all right is it the big breakfast it is not scott that's the point and uh a chance
to steal but not get any additional points uh scott the remaining answers are the large raspberry
triple thick milkshake the 20 piece box of chicken mcnuggets or the large macfay orio frape um i feel
like it's those nuggets it's all those nuggets 20 nuggets who's meant to eat 20 mc nuggets
Yeah.
Why is that a little...
It's not a single serving?
Even like a little four or six pieces, really too much.
It's like there's whatever's around those fake pieces.
Agre to disagree.
It's not...
It's not good.
I'm on my sixth nugget with the sour sauce.
All the sweet and sour sauce.
More please.
Both got it wrong.
It's actually the large raspberry triple milk milkshake.
That's what I thought it would be.
But I was like, nah.
Well, maybe you should guess that if that's what you thought it would be.
I know, but this is always a mind game.
because it's like here's multiple choice and it's like well that makes sense but this one over
here that sounds like it would be it so it can't be it right right the 20 nuggets have to be a big
bunch though if you did I can't believe none of those things aren't over a thousand I would
have thought all of those would have been around 2,000 calories totally oh yeah totally yeah
well I know it seems like the lowest calorie thing in McDonald's is 1,090 calories
the 20 p oh I found it the 20 piece macnuggets caloric intake equals
they don't know because no one's ever been able to do it well hold on it's here
why does this article take it so long the uh 96 channel the ticto mcnugget challenge the tic
mcnugget challenge don't do it don't do it you'll die this this article says it's
going to tell me the the the caloric whatever and it never does it tells me how much
you click baited click I did it tells me how how much each one weighs and stuff like that I don't
care about that let's see four pieces is 193 calories
Yeah, so not even close.
Not even close to the thousand.
So five times, so five times that is about, it's just under a thousand.
It's still a lot, dude.
Yeah.
It is a lot.
Oh, yeah, no doubt.
Well, I don't think anyone wants to ingesting you eat it, but go ahead.
I think that's share size.
Let's stick with that category and go over to Scott for this one.
Maybe this will kick you off of fast food.
A study showed that this contained the most traces of E. coli at a fast food
restaurant. Is it the milkshakes, the french fries, the chicken nuggets, or the crushed ice?
I heard this somewhere, but now I don't remember. I remember crushed ice and being a little
shocked by a story, but it may have just been that story and it wasn't like the most whatever,
but I'll say crushed ice because for some reason that's, that's a memory for me.
It is indeed the crushed ice.
Yeah, crushed ice.
Probably people sticking their hands in there and get nice cubes out after going to the bathroom or whatever.
Let me tell you how gloves don't work.
Yeah.
I've seen people do it all that time.
They put gloves on and they just work on everything.
I'm like, okay, this protection of your hands, but you're not working with toxic material.
First you're handling the money and now you're just pushing the cup into the ice.
So let me ask you.
Let me ask this.
This is talking about.
to self-serve ice as well?
Like when you get a bridge?
It doesn't say it just says...
I would assume so because they still fill that thing up because they bring out a big
old bucket of ice and they pour it in there.
And they use their hand to like pull it in and yeah.
To pull right to get it all out of the tub and stuff.
Yeah.
It may be used one of those again.
That's horrible.
Scott's in the lead two to nothing.
Brian, this one's going to you.
Listen, don't do anything that's going to kill more brain cells.
How many brain cells die every second?
all by themselves in your head?
Is it 100,
1,000, 32,000, or 320,000?
Oh, my Lord.
I like the idea that they're all having that little baby brain heart attacks
and just falling over dead, just, you know,
by themselves.
I didn't do anything.
I'm going to go with...
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The natural causes.
I'm a coroner.
I'm a brain cell coroner.
I'm very busy.
I'm going to go with...
You said B was 1,000?
B was 1,000, yes.
That sounds so, that sounds so rounded, and C was, would you say, was 32,000.
Oh.
That seems like a lot.
It is a lot, yeah.
But there are so many, there are billions, right?
There are billions.
I'm going to go with the C.
I'm going to go with C.
32,000?
Yeah.
The answer is.
C, 32,000. Very good, Brian. Well done.
How often? Did they die? Every second.
Every second. Holy shit.
Every second I'm having a little funeral for 32,000 brain cells.
Wow. That's a lot. Where they go?
Yeah, but the, well, there's others being, it's all like out with the old and with the new, right?
Right. New cells come in and old cells go out.
Talia and Bobby might be able to clarify on this.
Like they're talking about neurons versus brain cells or versus.
is Glea, G-O-A.
Right.
I lose a lot more Glea than your average man.
Glea.
Glea.
Glea.
All right.
This one's going back over to Scott.
In 1978, the typical CEO earned roughly 30 times their typical workers' salary.
As of 2018, how much more did the typical CEO earn today compared to office workers?
Did they earn 100 times more money than their typical workers' salary?
salary, 87 times more money, 287 times more money, or 154 times more money.
No one's going to win at this game.
This game sucks.
Right, exactly.
Like, even if you get the right answer, we all lose.
It's still sad.
Well, I know it's, I know there's, you know, recent data showing massive spikes and
disparity.
Right.
And, you know, and obviously this isn't Bezos or Zuckerberg.
Yeah, they're not typical.
The typical CEO compared to their office workers.
Like the guy what runs Pepsi, for example, or something like that, I guess.
Jiffy Loub.
The Jiffy Loeb guy.
That's right in the middle.
Jiffy Loub.
Let's go with, um, let's go with the, was there a 287?
There was a 287.
Yeah, right.
That's the one I want to do.
That's exactly right.
287 times more money than their typical office employee.
It felt like that was a lot, but not, not,
unrealistically a lot.
Hold on a second.
I've got to go talk to my CEO.
Be right back.
Exactly.
No kidding.
Yeah.
Crazy.
All right.
Well, that...
I'm mathematically eliminated.
You've been mathematically eliminated.
There's one more question.
And you get it, Brian.
Excellent.
Excellent.
In Iran, 14 of these were arrested on suspicion of espionage.
14 what was it?
A, squirrels.
B, toddlers.
C.
Ireland.
I'm sorry.
tourists or tourists from Iceland or
D. Circus Clowns.
God, this feels like such a trick question
because only one sounds reasonable, right?
Right, exactly.
And all the rest of them sound insane.
So you're like, well, it can't be the reasonable
one. It's got to be the insane thing.
Yeah. It sounds like a political move
to be able to get babies from
one spot to another. So I'm going to say
that even though it was charged
that way, I think there was other motivation.
I'm going to say babies. Babies, toddlers.
Is the answer, toddlers?
No, Scott, you get another point.
Do you want to take a stab at this?
Yeah, give me the Remainers.
The Remainters are squirrels, tourists from Iceland, or circus clowns.
I mean, the temptation is to say circus clowns, but I kind of like tourists from Iceland.
Sure.
Like hovering over the ground.
Oh, no, those aren't Iceland tourists.
They'll have weird Guttmannstotter names.
Is it tourists from Iceland and Bjork?
No, it is not.
But in Iran, in 2007, the Iranian army arrested a team of 14 spy squirrels found near a nuclear enrichment plant.
Officials say they succeeded in apprehending the suspects, quote, before they were able to take any action.
Wow.
Spice squirrels?
I definitely feel like I was scammed.
Tell me what you want, what you really, really want?
That's what it sounds like.
Ice squirrels.
Or spice squirrels, yeah, exactly.
I don't know why I say ice.
Congratulations, Scott, and by proxy, congratulations KDT from Nevada.
You're getting a pair of games from Wesley on Steam.
You're getting Orwell, Ignorance's Strength, and PGA Tour 2K21, the newest edition of PGA Tour.
I love that game.
I have that on my Series X and PC.
It's a fantastic golf game.
It's the golf game to own.
It makes all the others look bad.
It's great.
It's really good.
If you like golf, if you don't like golf.
If you don't like golf, then, you know, maybe you don't want it.
Exactly.
But Brendan Jay, you're not going home empty-handed or you're not staying home empty-handed anyway because you didn't come in.
You're getting Neon Abyss.
Oh, very good.
Yeah.
That's a good one as well.
Way to go, Targill.
Are we continuing the trend where the person who gets the single game gets a better game than the other game?
I think it depends on your taste in this case, but they're both excellent.
But that second one is a really awesome little rogue-like pixel thing.
It's a, that's a, I loved that one.
I had a total blast with it.
Nice.
Yeah.
Both will be happy, I believe.
I believe that's a good, good.
We want them both to be happy and satisfied with their win.
Congratulations.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Hey, Brian, today, speaking of little pixelated brog likes,
often those come up on the show we call the Boop Show,
which is happening later this afternoon at 3.30 Mountain Time.
We talk about indie titles and whether you should be playing them or not.
We play a couple and talk about them during the week as well as some news and some other stuff.
So you should check that out if you want to watch.
it live at 3.30 Mountain Time right here at frogpants.tv. Is there anything you'd like to add before
I cut you off? Absolutely. I've been enjoying Arcade Tycoon. And also, right after the Boop Show,
I will be guesting on Court Killers. Oh, very nice. Check it out. Yeah. Nice. Oh, that's great. That's a great
show to guest on. So look forward to that. Good people over there. Good people. So, wait, are we before or after
that thing? We're before. Me and you'll be doing the Boob Show. And then right after that, we'll be
Cool word.
It'll be nice and tight.
Nice and tight.
Yep.
That's what you said.
All right.
Brian,
have a fantastic week, day, time thing, hours before I see you again.
Bye.
He's gone now.
There's nothing but to do except for...
To do news.
Shit, here it is.
It's time for the news brought to you by.
Do you have strong feelings on why smartphones don't need screen protectors or why
mechanical keyboards are the best keyboards.

The fourth TMS anniversary mug should have said, there are four mugs. Come on, get it together, guys.
That's a good point. Why didn't we do that? Why didn't we do? There are four mugs. No, you know what? We put that on the fifth mug. That's where it's the funniest spot.
Yeah, duh. We're doing that. Brian's right. Except that's not the fourth anniversary. We're on about the, it'll be the 11th anniversary.
January. Yeah, we're way past that. But we do have a certain, you know, we only have a finite number of mugs. And when we hit the fifth, it makes more sense to put that on there. So we're gonna. That's a great idea. We're totally going to do that. Yeah, I like it. There are four mugs. I think we're already locked in. So you could say, or maybe it says, this is my fourth coffee. No, that wouldn't work. There are four mugs way back.
It may have a little Picard head on there going. Yeah, that's exactly. You don't get it unless you see a little Picard head.
Yeah, that's I always say. Unless there's a little Picard head, forget it.
All right. Hey, check this out. I know you and I at least are Seinfeld fans. There's plenty of them out there. Many considerate the greatest sitcom ever made. Now the chat room can sit and talk amongst themselves.
Yeah, they're going to say, I hate Seinfeld. Seinfeld sucks. I've never seen an episode of Seinfeld. Yeah, we can predict everything you guys are about to do.
Anyway, the fans are all upset because the iconic comedy series has a new aspect ratio on Netflix. And this isn't necessarily breaking news. This has been kind of been in an argument for a couple of weeks. But I did one.
want to talk about it. All 180 episodes of the beloved 90s sitcom, Seinfeld recently dropped on
Netflix. However, fans are not noticing. The jokes aren't translating as well as they used to in a
couple of cases anyway, thanks to the streamer updated or updated the show from 4-3 to be 16-9
in its aspect ratio. The frame is cropped, thus leaving out some important visuals on the top
or the bottom. Social media is vocal about the viewing experience, with many pointing out
specific instances in the show where the ratio crop is the worst.
Example that comes up a great deal is season eight episode, The Pothole,
in which in a particular scene, George Costanza, Jason Alexander,
is yelling at the pavement, but with the update,
what exactly he's yelling at is not shown because it's cut off.
Now, the same thing happened with Simpsons,
and Disney Plus ended up fixing it.
They're not fixing it, going back.
And here's, I like, I'd much rather get the shows in,
16-9 and not have the weird black bars on the TV and stuff like that.
But here's all, I mean, just go back and fix the episodes where people have noticed
plot points that are out of frame.
Like, this one's a good example.
Are there others?
You know, this is the only one I've heard about was the pothole issue.
Even if there are, they're only going to be maybe a handful.
So go back and just tweak those, shift it up a little for that one scene.
Right.
And you're good.
And otherwise, I mean, some have complained that it just, the show feels too.
cozy and framed in now?
Right, right.
I get that.
You're having to technically zoom in because you're...
Yeah.
But what I found is we had it on yesterday and I'm...
It's fine.
It's just fine.
It's not a problem.
Did you hover over the play button for Seinfeld and then make a gif of yourself
hovering on a lot of the...
No, because, you know, that was background noise.
We didn't really watch it.
I know.
It's a whole different watch than you basically, when you commit to watching Parasite, it's,
you know you can't have the iPad open you can't be tweeting on your phone or anything like that because it's subtitles you got to pay attention is it uh why is parasite listed as a comedy drama or drama yeah comedy drama because it's there there are dark comedy elements to it um there's a uh uh a how what's the word almost like a twilight zone out of twilight zone black mirror kind of thing i don't know there are
There are aspects of it that are like, huh, okay, all right, kind of thing.
Do you think Lennonade ever has any real fun in his life?
For those of you listening to the audio of this, Leninade just said,
because it's funny, you boob.
No, that's not what he said.
He said after that, can they go in and fix the chronic misogyny?
I'm Seinfeld.
Is there anything you can, is there anything you can, is there anything you can
enjoy. I don't think there's anything left.
There's nothing Lennonade can
enjoy. That's a real bummer.
Lennonade, we love you 3,000.
Of course we do.
But he's absolutely right, yeah.
Yeah. Anyway, so this is a thing.
Netflix promoted Seinfeld like crazy
this last week or whatever,
or the week before it aired there.
Now, this is odd because Netflix
had Seinfeld before
and ran it in its original aspect
ratio for a long time.
But by Hulu or some
else had it for a while and promoted the crap out of that
that they had it. Yeah, then they got it.
It just changes hands. Whoever, I don't know
who bellies up money and then you just change hands.
So Hulu had it. They had the
4x3 and they've had it for
more than a couple of years
I think. And then
there was this three month hiatus
and then Netflix making this big deal about it coming
back. I don't know if that three
months was all the time needed to
freaking get everything in
69. I don't know. But like if I
watch Cheers on Netflix, it's
four by three. I don't know why they had to change
it. And I'm not... That's true. That's a good point.
I don't really care, honestly. Like, the black
bars don't bother me either way.
Like, that's how I watched that when I was a kid, so whatever.
It's just not that big a deal. And you've
kind of got the option on your
on some of your devices, certainly on
tablets, my iPad can do this,
where if you're watching something that's got
black bars, you can
double tap on the screen
and it zooms it to where
the shortest
of the ratio goes
to the largest, like basically it goes to fill as opposed to actual size.
Right, right.
I mean, if I have my druthers, it would be make it zoomable but not lose any definition when
you do that.
Right, right, yeah.
Can they, I wonder if they can even do that.
Like, I don't know if they can do that.
That would be great if they could.
Yeah, right?
Just let me choose.
Give people the option.
If they want, if the black bars are a problem, then.
Yeah.
I guess, yeah, it is an issue.
I retract my previous statement.
I guess you kind of want it in the format that it was originally shot for
because that is what the director had in mind for the layout of the scene.
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Yeah.
All right, well, anyway, so that's the thing.
You can go watch it.
It's on now.
So go check it out.
I don't want to now.
I'm not going to get any of the jokes.
What's everybody looking at in the bottom of this frame?
I didn't know this.
Netflix promoted Seinfeld, the Seinfeld move to the streaming.
He keeps saying the streamer.
Quit doing that article,
Deadline.com.
With a new ad featuring comedian
Jerry Seinfeld and Brian Cranston's
character Tim Watley situated on
a Lego set based on
Seinfeld's apartment. All episodes are currently
available for streaming. I didn't see that ad.
I didn't either. I mean, I know he's Tim
Watley, but, oh, JC Calhoun said it was bad.
Yeah, and I know that there was a recent Lego set based
on
on Seinfeld, the
apartment, Jerry's apartment. Oh, right.
Didn't you get, you have something that's his
jerk? I have the other, the Funko Pop
Oh, right.
A version of the apartment, because it's not, it's a, it's, they're actually good
sculpts of the characters as opposed to the dead eye funco pop.
Right.
They're the ones with not the giant heads, right?
They're the other kind.
Right, exactly.
Unlike, unlike, like, all right, I cover up the bottom of it.
Who's this?
Who's this guy?
I have no, Sheldon.
You'd think, right?
Yeah.
Oh, my lord.
Yeah.
Surprise.
We should do a whole game of guest funko pop.
Based on just seeing the head.
Yeah, the only one that you'd get is that Klingon or that Worf one.
I'd have to spend so much money on getting these.
Or I guess I'd just get screenshots of them in Photoshop and cover them up.
Guess the pop.
That's a great name too, I-Corps.
It actually kind of is, yeah.
There's something there.
Guess the Funko Pop.
That's a great way of satirizing how shitty they are and having fun with it at the same time.
Yes, exactly.
I do like that apartment scene because what's great is,
As I finish painting my Marvel minis, I can put them in that layout to take pictures of them to put online to show people.
So, you know, I can have Scarlet Witch sitting there in Jerry's kitchen with all his cereal.
Yeah, right?
A bunch of bowls laying around.
Exactly.
It's good stuff.
All right.
Here's a thing for you.
Okay.
People, the people who claim to hear the northern lights, they exist.
Oh, sure.
You can hear them in, uh, you can hear them in, uh,
One of the
Bank and Rass
or Rankin Bass, Bankin' Rass
Rankin' Bass animated deals.
Oh, all right.
Yeah, like a twinkle, like North Pole thing.
Or is that elf?
Or is that? Hold on a second.
Oh, that's so familiar now.
Yeah, yeah.
You dug something up for my childhood.
That's an easy one to spoonerize.
don't worry. I'll be laughing at that
when I go to Raskin-Bobbins
for some ice cream. Yeah, some Raskin'
bobbins. Hmm. 32...
23 flavors. They got 23 flavors
there, Brian. 23.
13 flavors. Yeah.
There you go.
The people who claim to hear the Northern Lights,
that's a thing. A wishing or a
whizzing sound.
Anyway, it's a question
that has puzzled observers for centuries.
Do the fantastic green and crimson
displays of light of the Aurora Borealis
produce any discernible sound.
Conjured by the interaction of the solar particles with gas molecules and Earth's atmosphere,
the aurora generally occurs near Earth's poles.
I don't mean the Polish.
Okay.
It's not what they mean.
Where the magnetic field is strongest reports the aurora making a noise, however, are rare,
so people do it rarely.
And we're historically dismissed by scientists.
But a Finnish study, which is now finished.
In 2016, claimed to have finally.
confirmed that the northern lights really do produce sound audible to the human ear.
One of the researchers involved in the study captured a sound, possibly made by the
captivating lights, and it was estimated to have originated 70 meters or about 230 feet above
ground level.
Still, the mechanism behind the sound remains somewhat mysterious, so they don't really know
what's causing it, but some people can hear it.
Some people claim they can hear it.
It's probably, you know, you see something and you just visualize what that would sound
like in your head.
Yeah, that makes it a lusory, a lusory.
Yeah, I was really hoping when we were.
in Northern Ireland that we would have been able to see the Northern Lights, because that's the
furthest north we've been on a trip. And people have said that from up there, from the coast up there,
you can see the Northern Lights on occasion. Sometimes. But not always, yeah.
Not always, no. I mean, it's not, you know, it's, they're not always turned on those Northern
lights. You got to wait until they're turned on. Yeah, that's right. Someone may have
gotten, you get there at the wrong time.
That's right. Exactly.
The way I see it is if anyone could hear it, my wife could, because she has super hearing
and now it makes me want to take her there and see if she can hear them.
But you know, in Carter's in the chat, she can confirm this.
Kim can hear everything.
Every little pin drop.
Kim hears it.
And smell, by the way, she has super smell as well.
She can smell a dog turd 50 miles away.
She can tell that something in this furnace room is,
wrong because of a smell that no one else
can smell but her. It's weird,
her senses. That's amazing.
According to NPR,
like there's an NPR article from July
10, thank you, TV Zegon.
People, let's see,
researchers from Finland's
Alto University say they've confirmed
that the northern lights do make noises that can
be heard down on the ground. Oh, so
done deal. But it's another
Finnish study, right? So we
have competing Finnish studies. Yeah,
the fins are running around, you know, well, floating around.
Make up your mind, Finland.
What is it?
Can we hear it?
Can we not?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, they're floating around with their translucent bodies.
That's right.
Exactly.
I would be so distracted.
They'd get up on their podium to tell me about their hot new study.
And they start saying, borka, borka, dinkadonka.
And I go, uh,
a little heart beating.
I just see their heart beating through their chest like a baby fish the whole time.
I can't pay attention to that.
Would people, would people be as excited about the northern lights if they sounded like
screaming, just like constant
screaming.
Get us out of here. We got to go. Why? I can hear it.
Yeah, we move out of
our house up in the north
every winter for a couple months, just because of the screaming
northern lights. Yeah, that would suck. Oh,
that would really suck. Nobody would live anywhere near
there. All right.
Final story. That's a quick one. A British Columbia
woman wakes up to a hole in her roof.
There's a hole in her roof.
And a space rock on her pillow.
Oh.
Yeah, she almost got hit right in the noggin there.
I don't remember going to bed with this space rock.
Lake Louise, there was like a whole meteor thing happening there.
I don't know where this is.
Lake Louise somewhere.
British Columbia.
Oh, yeah, Bruce.
We already know that part.
That wasn't before Christ.
She's that old.
She's a B.C. woman.
Yeah, she's not a cave woman.
She's a B.C. woman.
Anyway, there was this meteor thing flying over there.
So a whole bunch of people saw.
It was like a big fireball up there.
And that happens a lot.
But long time, golden resident Ruth Hamilton,
not Golden, Colorado.
However, we're as fast asleep.
But then I blame it on the beer.
No.
Well, maybe.
I blame it on the Coors.
At least she was, was asleep
until roughly she was awoken by the sound
a crash through her ceiling and the sensation of debris on her face.
Face debris!
I jumped up and turned on the light.
I couldn't figure out what the heck was happening, eh?
She said, because she's Canadian, see?
Yeah, but you're in muting my mic because I'm pouring coffee.
Oh, yeah, porn coffee, got it.
There we go.
Okay, coffee poured, I unmuted my mic.
Brian's into porn coffee.
Do you guys all hear that?
Porn coffee.
Porn coffee.
She said she took a look around to get her bearings and spotted the rock sitting
neatly in her pillow next to where her head usually.
She called 911, I'm sure of what to make of the projectile.
Police arrived on the scene, and after establishing the rock was not there as a result of an ongoing construction or in the kicking horse canyon, they settled on the only explanation that a meteorite had come through her roof.
It's pretty crazy.
That is crazy.
It's a decent size, like the photo.
Yeah, how would this beef?
It could have just gone right through her skull.
Yeah.
If it went through a roof, it would have hurt at least.
Let's see, there it is.
Yeah, that's a big piece.
That's a big chunk.
Wow.
And the fact that it had to have been hot, it didn't catch fire, like burn her pillow or anything.
Yeah, that's just gnarly.
Yeah.
Are you sure that's not just tightly packed urine from an airplane flying over that has to melt now?
Right.
Now you got to burn it to get rid of it.
I'll tell you what, I hope they let her keep it.
That's kind of rad.
it is yeah a you survived it
B it's cool it's from space
you have a space rock she's earned it really
yeah you don't get to take that away
at the very least chip off a chunk for or something
let her let her keep that damn thing
all right
all right it's gonna do it for the news
we're gonna take a break when we come back
we'll spend a little time with Bill
and of course Stephen Schlecker is here
he's in the chat right now in fact hanging out
we will see what's going on
with both those guys after this song break
from Brian Ibitt
sure and we're gonna smooth into some
or slide into some smooth California pop.
Matt Costa has just released his album or re-released his album, Yellowcoat.
It actually came out in 2020, but he's actually got a new, longer, deluxe version of the album.
And it's got five new recordings of his songs, including this one right here with some special guests.
This is a song called When the Avalanche Comes, featuring Jack Johnson and Zach Gill.
This is great.
This will slide you right into some smooth.
smooth pop for your
Monday like a nice relaxing
let's get that that day started kind of music
here is When the Avalanche comes
by Matt Costa featuring Jack Johnson
and Zach Gill
Who is it that walks all along
I'm on the ancient
trail of thrones
when the
avalanche comes
I'm going to be a friend
all the way down
and you might have tried
to leave your past
just remember it's all part of the path
and when your bones are earthquakes
I'm going to be the one to calm you down
you can make it
but don't ask why
Some live and some fall and some die
I can tell you the answer the day
The avalanche comes
When the avalanche comes
You gotta be the one to dig it out
Who is it that takes all?
is it always someone the same
when you're walking away
you heard it blowing through the trees
and going when you turn to see
The avalanche come
I was the only one who let you down
You can make it
But don't ask why
Some live and some fall and some die
I can tell you the answer the day
When the avalanche comes
When the avalanche comes
You gotta be the one to dig it out
When the avalanche comes.
When the avalanche comes.
You've reached the voicemail of Scott, a normal man with an incredible story.
The House of Johnson pays a chair and two chickens.
You're writing checks with the year 2011
That your body can't cash in 2012
This is the morning stream
And we're back everybody
That song once again was
Yep, that's Matt Costa
And the song's called When the Avalanche Comes
Nice
Yeah, never
sure somebody didn't come over and just throw a rock in her house just thought of that what if it's
like a kid well but what through the roof like how do you get how do you fire that thing with
enough power to put a hole in the roof no that's a good point you'd have to have to have you'd
have to be strong man McGee to get that you would have to be strong man McGee or or drop it from a high
place or put some velocity on that thing I agree you don't you're not you're not Superman
you know super not Superman I don't know I don't know what I
I didn't think of that song, but you did.
I did, because it's, you know, that's what I do.
That's what you do.
All right, punishprops.com incoming, represented by one Bill Duran.
It's going to talk about, you know, the world of making stuff because that's what you guys are interested in at home.
You want to make things.
So here.
Your bat caves open there, Bill.
All the way from Punish Props.com.
It's Bill Duran, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
Hello, good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning to you.
Hope your Monday is all it could be and more.
So far so good.
That's fantastic.
It looks a little gray out.
We're in the gray season in Seattle now.
Yeah, the gray season.
So it's just going to be gray from now until about 20, 25.
Right, I was going to say, yeah.
Yeah, it'll be gray for a bit.
When do you come out of this gray period?
Sure.
We had so much rain yesterday over the weekend, and it was awesome because it cleared all the remaining crappy smoke out of the sky that we were still getting from parts of Oregon and California.
and it was the most glorious big sky white cloud mountains crystal clear weekend i've ever seen
it was amazing i just loved it i took a bunch of pictures and uh shared them up on stuff
people want to see them but just absolutely gorgeous uh in the salt lake valley for for for the
weekend so take that anyone else who had a shitty weekend hey uh so bill let's get into it
uh you're all about the making and the making things and the and the cosplay and the
and the freaking, you know, making cool replicas and all that.
So today, you're joined us to do more of that.
What's going on?
What are you making right now?
Well, there is a new Ghostbusters movie coming out very soon.
Yeah, there is.
In fact, apparently at New York Comic-Con, if you went to the Ghostbusters panel,
they just straight up showed them the movie.
Oh, really?
Oh, that's awesome.
Just, wow.
What's the release of this thing?
The cast was there?
Oh, soon.
Very soon.
Can't find the name.
It's November?
Oh, is it in October?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Wow.
All right.
You got to get it out before Halloween, right?
I would think so.
That's a good point.
I mean, it's already been delayed.
Okay.
November 19th.
We have a little over a month.
Never mind.
We have time.
Cool, cool, cool.
Very nice.
So it's out.
It is out before Halloween 2022.
There we go.
Yeah.
Nice.
So anyway, hype is absolutely piqued for this thing.
very excited about it.
And the new movie, from what we've seen from trailers and everything, has lots of props,
lots of new props, and updated versions of old props that I'm very excited about.
Things like the ghost trap I've seen, the ghost trap with some fun modifications on it.
The Acto One looks really, really cool with, again, they've added more functions to it,
which I'm very excited about.
And, of course, the Proton Pack.
Classic Proton Pack.
I'm sure we'll see lots of that in the new movie.
The trailer or the IMD listing has always been interesting because it says that Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Sigourney Weaver are in this movie, but you, I just did the worst Ernie Hudson thing that everyone complains about people doing to Ernie Hudson.
I didn't remember him at the end and then added him in as like an afterthought and that's exactly what the series is always done.
Gosh, dang it. Anyway, the point is they're named in here in the credits. Now that kind of.
could be as vancman as you know uh rayman as ray you see even in the trailer you see
youtube like they're watching a youtube video of the old ghostbusters commercial yeah but then
there's that thing at the end right you do hear a voice yeah yeah and made the let's just say
it made me want to go buy groceries let's just say that that's a fun hint no one'll get
maybe anyway i got i'm so excited about this movie i'm uh i don't i don't even know why i've
probably over, I'm probably too excited because it's not going, there's no way this
going to live up to whatever, but maybe it will.
I hear the reviews are saying that it's got a lot of heart, that's got a lot of fan service
and a lot of heart, but, um, and Paul Rudd, so.
And Paul Rudd. And Paul Rudd. And Carrie Coon with blonde hair, almost unrecognizable
Carrie Coon. Yeah, and that Finn, Finn Wolf-Hard. What's his name? Flo, Flohr.
Finn Wolf-Hard. Finn Wolf-Hard. Who doesn't want that stick with hair?
Anyway, Bill, sorry, I derailed you.
There's a lot. That's fine.
Yeah, the point is Ghostbusters, and you're thinking a lot about those props.
Absolutely.
So over on our buddy, the Tested gang, they just put out a video where Adam put together a prototype pack.
He had a lot of help.
Ben Eadie was there.
He is a prop guy who worked on the movie.
And in fact, on Tess's channel, you'll see they have a handful of videos covering the movie because they got the visit the set when they were filming.
Which is so cool.
Yeah, that is cool.
Oh, there's, here it is.
Oh, man, these videos look so nice.
Right.
Yeah.
They do it.
So that video, I have a little insider knowledge because I showed up to work at tested a couple of years ago.
And all of this stuff, all this proton pack stuff was filling the shop.
So this was filmed a couple of years ago, pre-pandemic.
Oh, wow.
And now the movies coming out, they're covering it, which is really cool.
Yeah.
A lot of Adam's parts for his proton pack were casts from original parts.
So the main body of the proton pack was casting, I believe, with some lineage to the original proton pack.
He stuffed it full of electronics, which is really fun.
And he used a lot of metal parts, like real metal pieces on it, which really help add to that authenticity.
I want one back.
Yeah, proton packs are so cool.
cool. I made one a couple
years ago.
And I love mine.
Adams is very cool.
Mine isn't quite as legitimate as Adams.
But mine is still awesome. It's still a video.
You don't quite have the budget that Adam does.
No, or the
resources, let's say.
Right. Right. So anyway,
my proton pack, instead of
having castings from
mold that
has lineage to the original,
mine was made from vacuum-formed forms that were made by a fan instead of castings from a mold
and I have lots of plastic resin cast parts on mine for example there's these two wacky valves that
proton packs have and you can buy them I look them up you can still buy these valves are like
40 or 50 bucks a piece and I need two of them but instead of spending $100 to make my my valves more
legit. We have resin castings of those same valves on my proton pack. It looks almost just as good. It's
just not quite as legit. Sure. So just as an example. However, there are a lot of other parts on my
pack that I could replace with legitimate metal parts that aren't really expensive. So that's
what we did. So we have a video over on our channel, over at, uh, uh, sorry, punish props.com.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot the year old on my website for a moment. Yeah, yeah. Uh, we just put out a new
video today where I go through my proton pack and update some of the parts, especially the
plastic screwheads. A lot of the resin cast parts on my, uh, proton pack, they cast the screwheads
right in there so that, uh, you don't have to add your own afterwards.
it's really quick and easy.
However, I replace them with metal ones, real metal ones.
The real metal hardware is so cool because it just looks and feels better than even the best
paint job.
The metal can be painted and sanded and scratched to make it look really old and it's
really easy to do that.
So that's what we did.
We went through and picked out anywhere that still had a plastic shrewhead on it.
Would you have any trouble getting something like this into a con?
You know, with the metal and stuff?
Is that ever an issue?
I don't know if they would stop you.
Probably not.
A proton pack, I've never seen anyone have trouble getting in with that.
Metal blades are, tend to be the metal that people worry the most about.
And they should.
But yeah, putting metal screws on your proton pack, people haven't really.
No one's made us think about that, as far as I know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it seems like it's probably heavier, right?
you're going to
right so you do have to have i guess consider that like if you're going to be on a
on a con floor for six seven hours with this heavier metal backpack thing
at least you know at least know that going in
definitely yeah mine my prototype pack probably weighs 20 pounds maybe
doesn't sound like too much until like hour seven right right right yeah that's where you're
really appreciating that vacuform definitely absolutely and i added like
you know, 20 screws,
you know, maybe an ounce or two more of weight.
Shouldn't be too bad.
So what we did basically is just I'd pick a screw head.
And for most of them, I could use my drill and just a drill bit to remove the screw head.
Just drill it until it's gone.
Yeah.
And then I'd have to drill a smaller hole for the shank of my real screw.
So I went and found a, I have thousands, tens of thousands of screws.
I don't know. I have a lot of screws.
Yeah.
Tell me, do you guys have a bucket in your garage or like a peanut butter?
Oh, yeah.
That's just full of every screw that you own.
Yeah.
Random sort of screws.
We kind of keep those in the bottom of the big red toolbox.
We lift up the top part that's got all the tools we use all the time and just throw them down there and say,
let God sort it out.
Yeah.
Ours is a big green open bucket with like a handle on it.
And it just sits in the garage and it's full of screws.
And the problem is they're not uniform.
So, yeah. Oh, yeah. You'll never find exactly the right size. No, no, no, no, no. It feels impossible, but. However, if you want to add screws to a prop and make it look really cool, that's a good, those are good candidates. They don't need to be functional. They don't have to actually hold stuff together. They just need to look neat. Sure. So I went through all of my screws and found a bunch of different screwheads that looked like they fit the part that looked kind of neat, and I swapped a whole bunch of them out. Nice. Now, if you don't have a proton pack, but you want to try this out,
There's a bunch of fun projects you could do.
So, for example, you could buy a resin cast of a prop off the internet and then put real screws on it.
Or you could 3D print something and either remove the screws and add your own or some props that you print don't have the screw holes in them.
So, for example, my Blade Runner gun and my Vashis Stampede gun, I sell those 3D print files on my website.
People can download and print them and then add real screws to them, which is really fun.
sure uh but if you want to just give this a shot and you have a nerf gun or a toy gun kicking
around or any sort of prop thing that has like fake screw heads on it then all you need to really is
a drill some scrap screws and uh you can swap a whole bunch of them out to make them feel more
legit nice i think this looks really really cool i am i am desirous for more uh i actually kind
just want to watch ghost ghost busters be honest i know right me too yeah nothing wrong with that
Not the second one.
I hate that movie,
but the first one I love.
Oh,
yeah,
yeah.
Why am I droppings with goo?
I hate that second movie.
It's not a good movie.
That's so bad.
It has moments,
right?
Everything is.
It has its moments,
and it's elevated
just by the fact
that it's got
Ackroyd and Hudson and...
Hey,
look at you giving Hudson
a second billing.
That's good.
I'm making up for earlier.
I like it.
All right.
That video,
course,
Of course, the YouTube channel as well, which is where I'm looking at it.
And that's awesome.
Bill, any bonus-y-linky things this week?
Certainly, yes.
Our friends over at the Modern Rogue have been cooking up some tomfoolery.
They made what they're claiming is the world's smallest potato gun.
It's a very tiny little gun, and they use it to shoot French fries.
It's pretty adorable.
It's only mildly dangerous.
Me and my friends had a big potato gun that we built.
I was, I don't know, high school age.
And, man, we could have made the coolest YouTube video if this was, if we could just switch eras.
Yeah, it would have been amazing because that thing was great and it was dangerous.
Yes, very, real full-sized potato guns.
Well, the modern road guys built one and a couple of years ago I flew down there.
We made a ballistics gel head out of Jason with a plastic skull in it.
And then we shot it in the eye with a potato gun.
And it destroyed the eye socket.
Oh, my gosh.
So, yeah, potato guns, no joke.
This tiny one, though, should be pretty safe.
Look at that.
Oh, man, it is super tiny.
What are we using for propellant?
Just compressed air, it's all.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, no explosions, just compressed air.
Wow.
Well, fantastic.
Go check that out, Modern Roker course, on YouTube.
And, Bill, it's always a pleasure talking to you.
I hope you have a really great week.
You betcha.
Bye now.
Oh, speaking of things I forgot.
Canadian Thanksgiving today.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada.
Today?
Yeah, isn't it?
Enjoy your turkey, eh?
I think it is.
Hold on.
Canadian Thanksgiving.
Indigenous People's Day.
It is.
Oh, yeah.
Canada Thanksgiving.
Oh, yeah, it is.
It's today.
Okay, good.
I'm not jumping the gun.
Yeah, I hope you guys do whatever you do.
I don't know what you do.
What do they do?
What do they do?
Well, they, I think they,
They eat like the rest of us.
Do they?
Do they?
Like turkey and they do all that?
Yeah.
I think everything's covered with gravy and wash down with Moulson.
Okay.
All right.
They eat food.
They eat food.
Canadian Thanksgiving has a hole in it.
That's right.
They do.
All right.
Now.
I'm curious, actually, what the different, like if they have different dishes and stuff.
Yeah, I don't know.
Let's see. Turkey, stuffing, sauces, sides.
It looks pretty...
Pretty much the same.
Thanksgiving. Okay. I had no idea.
Oh, my God. Look at these Hasselback potatoes.
Oh, Hasselback.
Husted butternut, squash, and cheddar, graltine.
He hasn't done anything cool since Knight Rider.
Hasselback.
I bet you were going to go to the view or to Fox News or something.
No. He's David Hasselback.
Just such a great, great action hero of my youth.
All right, let's play this.
Stephen Schlecker.
Stephen Schlecker.
Hey, look who it is from Hayes, Kansas.
Major spoiler zone, Stephen Schlecker.
Good morning.
Good morning, Scott.
Good morning, Brian.
Good morning.

Yeah, this is just coming into the class and talking about being an entrepreneur and all that
stuff. So, oh, phone call. Is this an important one? Yeah, sorry. Is it from the Dean? It's not
from the Dean. It's one of those. No, it's one of those. Your car insurance is expiring. Get your
extended warranty today. Oh, so they're bullshit is what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, all right,
then. It's good to have you here, Stephen. Let's get into it.
Oh, I wanted to tell you right off the bat.
This is a fun experience.
A little comic brush with fame I had yesterday.
Reading or had read the first issue, which is all that's out right now, of the comicsology original.
Although I read it on the Kindle app under Prime Reading.
So Amazon needs to freaking get cohesive.
I don't know what they're doing.
But anyway.
Well, they've merged.
They've merged your comicsology account with your Amazon account.
Yeah, which is fine.
So now everything's you can read everywhere.
It's fine.
It's just confusing because it says it's a comics ology original on the book,
but it's listed under Prime Reading, which is not connected to Kindle Unlimited.
Like, it's all over the place.
It's so weird.
Anyway, I'm reading that.
It's called We Have Demons, a brand new independent that he worked on with him and Greg Capulow.
So the dream team is back working together.
And I downloaded it and started reading it and really enjoying it.
I was only just barely into it, but I just put out a tweet and said,
Scott Snyder, Greg Capulow, loving this, or, you know,
I can't wait to dive into this series, very excited about it, whatever.
Just nothing, nothing, any big deal.
I get a DM from Scott Snyder saying, hey, I saw your tweet.
I just really wanted to wish you, you know, best of luck with the comic
and hope you really enjoy it and let me know how you feel about it when you're done.
It was so cool.
It was nice.
Yeah.
He was a nice guy reaching out, you know.
It was cool.
To do that.
Yeah?
Uh-oh, what are you going to tell me?
He's going to send nudes next?
What's going on?
No.
It's just the start.
By the way, I just save 10%.
I'll send you an email.
Oh, you need to do that.
Please do.
Because he did that and then followed me.
Now, am I on some kind of list now?
What happened?
Did it something bad happen?
No, not necessarily.
I'll just, I'll send you an email.
Okay.
All right.
Oh, my God.
I want to know what's going to be hilarious.
I don't know what to expect here.
But anyway, um,
I really liked the comic.
I thought it was very cool.
It goes a whole bunch of weird ways, and it's nice and bloody, and, you know, it's an indie.
Please forward this comic to 10 friends, or they will die.
Yeah.
I posted in the chat.
We've actually got a review of that comic up on the Meteor Spoilers website.
So if anybody wants to click on that, they can go and see what our thoughts are.
Yeah, what you guys think here?
80%'s pretty good.
That's a solid review.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Go read that.
You guys get some detail on it.
I quite liked it.
Of course, I was like Capulow's work anyway, so it's a no-brainer for me to read it,
but now I'm super curious about your email, so please send me your email.
All right, let's get to the stuff that you sent to us.
DC Fandome, this weekend.
That's right.
NYCC, New York Comic-Con was last week.
How'd that go? Anything big from that?
You know, I didn't hear a lot of big things.
Now, I think Image had a panel or two there.
Saga, for those of you who are saga fans, returns in jam.
January. Also, what was the other thing from Image Comics? Oh, Kurt Busick is taking all of his stuff, which was previously at DC Comics, and it's all going to Image also beginning in January. Oh, really? Wow. Yeah. So New Astor City, all that stuff is coming. Is that getting pulled from, um, I don't be pulled from the app. I should read that stuff quick. More than likely, yeah. And then it'll show up. I mean, it's still going to be up on comicsology, but it's not going to be through DC anymore. I'll tell you what. If Image had a,
all you can eat,
10 buck a month sub,
I do it right now.
Like,
why don't,
why does an image have this?
Please do this.
Probably,
probably because it's more
creator-owned stuff
over an image.
That's mainly what they do.
So it's a lot harder
or would be a lot harder
to distribute that residuals
or earnings to,
to those creators.
Yeah,
you're probably right,
but I don't know,
find a way is what I'm saying,
because that would be cool.
Anyway,
all right,
so that was that,
but instead,
Let's talk about DC Fandome.
Anything you're expecting, like any big blowout?
Man, if people, so here's the thing.
Last year, DC Fandome was larger than anyone expected it to be as far as views,
something like 65 million views over the course of the weekend.
It was well produced.
It was better than any Hall Age presentation that you could ever go to.
I suspect you are going to see the Flash movie stuff come up, Flash TV stuff come up.
I suspect you might even see some clips from that, including, you know, the much talked about
what's his face
who did Batman most recently
is supposed to pop up
in this Flash movie and has said he's...
Yeah, Ben Affleck, yeah, yeah, in the Flash movie
and he said that he's had a much better time
on that than he did on the
other films. So he may
show up on that. I suspect we're going to see
our first look of Shazam. We've already seen
our first look of Peacemaker,
the TV series, so that'll pop up
anything that's... Wait, wait, Shazam. What do you mean?
First look of the sequel? The
because we've had our first look at Shazam and the Shazam movie.
You mean like a...
Yeah, like the new Shazam coming up and Black Adam as well.
Oh, the new movies, right, right.
That makes sense.
Okay.
Cool.
Yeah, cool.
So we'll get all that.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I suspect all of that.
And the TV show stuff announcements will be made as well.
And so this will be a big thing.
They'll also have some comic book stuff there as well, but most of it's going to be focused on their media properties.
Do you think we'll get in that in that, in that,
Vane, do you think we get a extended preview slash trailer teaser or something for the new Batman or no?
For the patents?
Oh, yes.
Most definitely, yes.
Okay.
All right.
I really want to get into that.
Like, I want that out.
How delayed are we on that?
It's like a year.
It would have been out about a year ago.
No.
On the original plan, wasn't it?
No.
I think it was supposed to come out this year.
Oh, all right.
So that's a delay.
Okay.
Well, I'm legit excited about seeing how Pattinson does.
Given the acting work he's done since Twilight, the dude's got chops.
Especially if you've seen him in Lighthouse.
Yeah, dude, Lighthouse.
Oh, he's great.
Oh, my gosh.
What's he doing in there?
Forgive that vampire crap.
Yeah.
You know what's funny?
You've got to break in somewhere, right?
My daughters are so funny.
They were talking last night about, I'm not going to say this exactly right,
because I don't remember the wording, but they were talking about how everybody used
to be either Team Jacob or Team.
What was his name?
Oh, yeah, Rupricked or whatever.
Jacob or Arthur or John or Jim Job what's his name
what did he play I know I'm trying to remember the we're old
Team Edward Edward oh Edward was Pattinson
yeah so it was either Team Edward or team whatever and now they're all team the dad
the what's her name's dad because like apparently he was like he's like dead
handsome's mustache looking dude and now all the girls who grew up with Twilight
really like the dad
anyway it's pretty funny
That is funny.
So, okay, so maybe some patents and Batman.
Shit, that almost fell off.
Sorry.
I think we're going to see so much come out this weekend.
Cool.
And I think that, honestly, if this goes as big as it did last year,
I honestly don't think you're going to see DC,
or I should say Warner Brothers slash Discovery Networks
shelling out any big money for them to do a big media presentation at any
Comic-Con ever again.
Okay.
Wow.
All right.
I mean, why pay millions of dollars to get celebrities to show up at a con
when you can do something that's going to get a heck of a lot more views and a heck of a lot more
attention on a live stream.
The games industry is going through a very similar probability at the moment.
And I think you're probably right in the long term.
I think that there's going to be pressure to try to, you know, glory day it and get it back to
whatever it was or, you know, by whatever definition people have.
But you're, I think you're just right about the economics of it.
Not, you know, forget about the pandemic for a second.
And what the pandemic has made people do is sit down and actually look at numbers and go, well, we're sure getting hitting a lot more eyeballs this way.
And it's costing us a third of what it used to.
And like you can't, those economics, I just don't think you can deny those.
I don't know the number of flights.
I would be very interested to see the number of flights that go in and out of San Diego on the big Saturday and Sunday events.
But each one of those, if they're doing a private flight for these celebrities, that's $20,000 a pop minimum.
Easy, yeah.
Just from Los Angeles to San Diego.
Yeah.
And so you're spending millions upon millions of dollars to get these celebrities flown in from around the world for one day, maybe a little bit of signing.
And then you have to fly them back out and hope that that's not slowing down production on whatever that they're working on.
Yeah.
So doing something like this where it's all kind of staged, very little live stuff, where they can craft the message is so much better.
Yeah, it's better for me.
I like it more.
I like it with the games more.
I enjoy E3 more when it's less
stupid stage stuff
where everything goes wrong and feels cheesy and dumb
and instead it's just like
get to the meat of the stuff let's see what you got
I don't know
I know there's arguments for all of it but
all right some comics to watch for coming up
the fire I see fire power
by Kirkman and Sammy or Samney
tell me about this I didn't even heard of it
so if you are a fan of like
Shaw Brothers Kung Fu movies
type stuff
they have been Kirkman and Samney
have been doing this series called Fire Power
about a guy who had
all this power to shoot fire
basically out of his hands
he kind of turned his back on everything
and now the bad guys are coming after him
and his family years later and so he has to
he I thought I was out but they're dragging me back in
and so if you like all the kung fu stuff
Kirkman and Samney have really hit
hit it out of the park with this
the issue 16 just came out last week
so there's still plenty of time to get caught up
this is a super fast read
most of the previous issues are a buck 99 now totally worth it and for those of you that
have been missing kirkman since his walking dead and his uh invincible stuff i think this is is right
up there with invincible it doesn't have all the humor and stuff but uh as that invincible did but
this is this is good solid fun comic books yeah i really liked his his demon one uh what was that
called uh i have no idea shit they made a tv show too is it but it's on a channel nobody had um
free form or something.
Yeah, it was like something like that.
It was like a channel loan watches.
Outcast, yeah, do you ever read any of the Outcast?
Oh, yeah.
No, I haven't.
It's in my pile to read.
They were great.
I mean, it's a specific subgenre of demons, you know,
like it's like this new Scott Snyder thing,
but I really liked it.
It was all possession and all that kind of stuff.
It was fun.
Yeah, I didn't even know this existed.
I don't know how this missed my radar.
I love Kirkman's writing.
So, yeah, definitely.
definitely go check it out, Scott.
I think you'll, I think the first three issues might even be at a super reduced cost.
So you'll want to go check that out as well.
All right.
I'm in.
I'll get, I'll do this.
And let's see which app I get it from.
Will it be Comixology?
Will it be Kindle Unlimited?
Or will it be whatever prime reading is?
Who knows?
It won't matter.
It's all Amazon.
All right, fine.
Then also Mark Miller's King of Spies coming in December.
I've heard this mention, but what do we know about it?
Yeah, so this is a series at NetFle.
Mark Miller, for many people may know, sold his, basically his stuff to Netflix, all of the Miller World stuff to Netflix a couple of years ago, and they've made a couple of shows out of his stuff.
The newest one is the, we just said, King of Spies, but there's also going to be a comic book adaptation, and that will arrive in December.
So if you've been Jonesing for some Mark Miller written stuff, he's got a new comic coming out in December.
Any connection with this with this to Kingsman?
No, I do not.
I do not believe that it is.
That is totally Miller.
I forgot about that.
Yeah.
And they've got a new thing, right?
An origin story?
The Kingsman.
I've been watching previews for this thing in theaters for about two years now and just want the damn thing to come out.
This is the new Jackass movie.
Tina cannot wait for Jackass to come out so she can stop seeing that damn trailer for Jackass Forever.
I'm excited for Jackass Forever.
I am, too, but I really don't want to see that preview.
I don't want Tina to see that preview anymore because it's always the same thing.
When does this movie come out already?
When is that out, actually?
I don't know.
That's a good question.
I wonder if there's a time we can find a date.
Well, all right, then.
Good times, good stuff.
Stephen, anything else happening around major spoilers?
People at home might want to listen to or check out.
You know, we talked about the saga stuff.
We've talked about the Kurt Bucic stuff.
We'll be talking more about that this week on the major spoilers podcast.
So people can go check that out.
It'll be up on the major spoilers website or in podcast feeds everywhere come Wednesday morning.
That sounds fantastic.
I'm also going to drink a lot of water because you would tell me what.
What would you tell me?
I would definitely say, Scott, stay hydrated and watch Loki.
Oh, fine.
Maybe finish Captain America Winter Soldier.
February 4th is when Jackass Forever comes out.
So guess what?
Yeah.
When we go all of our winter Oscar watch viewing, well, probably the Oscar movies aren't going to be.
The MPA is probably not going to have.
They're not going.
That is not going to happen.
But I take your point.
I take your point.
But I'm sure it'll be before Eternals and it'll be before, you know, any of the other things far from home.
Yeah.
Hey, chat, look at this.
You want a, you want a SpongeBob or Ninja Turtles version of the series X?
These are coming out.
Look at that.
That's cool.
How cool.
How perfect is SpongeBob as a...
He's already squared.
It's perfect.
Look at him.
Just see him on there.
The Ninja Turtle's more of a stretch.
You just have to be kind of artsy about it.
But you can literally make SpongeBob into your Series X.
Oh, I want those.
I don't really, but I do.
But I don't really.
But I do.
All right, Brian.
What else?
That's it.
No, no.
We have a mashup.
No, we got a mess.
Mashup.
Marsup.
Yeah, we got a mashup.
This one has a name.
They all do.
It's called a false name.
That is the name of mashup, yeah.
How can we trust that name then?
I don't know.
I feel weird about it.
But I'm going to hit play, and we're going to see what it is.
Enjoy.
It's your poop now.
I thought it was more of it.
Oh, it's your poop now.
I emphasize the wrong word.
It's your poop now.
It's just like Doc Brown at the end of Back to the Future.
Marty, it's your poop now.
Oh, shit.
Too easy.
Wow, those would be the Pipes of Bag.
Rhymes with Fun.
Break, break on nine, I'm heading to Rimes with Fun.
It's literally Rhymes with Fun or this word rhyme.
Yeah, the place description is called, quote, Rimes with Fun.
I have no idea.
What would rhymes with fun?
I have no idea.
Jake Grubbard has it.
It is Regina, Saskatchewan.
Really?
Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
Your muscles down there can only handle about seven inches before everything just shreds.
And so...
Y'all have way more butthole knowledge than I do.
I feel...
But that doesn't make sense.
Rhymes with fun.
Yeah?
It doesn't rhyme with fun.
No.
But it rhymes with something fun.
Yeah, but that's effed up.
You should say, I'm heading over to rhymes with something fun.
That's what they should say.
Well, I can say rhymes with a vagina.
A receptionist who was with him said she saw King pulling at her vagina.
Oh.
Pulling at it.
You're not supposed to pull at it.
I don't know how those things work, but...
You guys and your magical equipment.
We don't know how it works.
Do you pull at it?
So what do you think that is?
I've got one of those.
It's an organ.
Okay.
Brian's got an organ.
Here, I'm going to try trumpet ball without my eyes closed.
Okay, all right.
T-R-U-M-P-U-T.
Trumpet.
Oh, so close.
Didn't I get it?
T-R-U-M-P-U-T.
P-E-T.
A trompute.
Tromput.
Did you play the trumpet in high school?
The trumpet.
What? I said something while she was doing it, and I think it freaked her out because it was loud.
And I held it up to Tina. I said, check it out. It looks like a duck's penis.
And she says, no, it does. And I said, yeah, that's what a duck's penis looks like. It looks like a spiral like.
What are you some kind of duck penis expert?
Yeah, I apparently am. And she says, really? Well, what do duck vaginas look like?
And I said, I said, a nice bottle of peanut noir.
There you go.
She was charged with burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and giving a false name. I wonder what name she used.
Petunia Pullintwant.
Send your emails to Brian, not me.
I'll take those emails.
It's totally.
Oh, my gosh.
Look at all those show titles right there.
Oh, my Lord.
That's just insane.
That one, that bit.
That's funny.
So much of that, that mashup came from just that one story.
Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. That whole, that we went far and long. And our titles that day, that's all it was.
Yeah, it was all Petunia pull into it. Yeah, that was it. And that was a bad day. It was a dark day.
It was a dark day for TMS and Jeeps. Yeah, and Jeeps. There's no good for Jeeps.
All right, we're done with the show. We had a great time and we have more of it this week. So all week, you'll get TMS and, of course, a PM on the weekend.
Yeah, it's going to be great. It's just to just sign yourself up now.
resign yourself to knowing that every day
this will happen. You get it either
in your podcast player
of choice or if you come live
every morning at 9 a.m. Mountain Time, you could
watch us live. That'd be fine too.
I want to thank a couple of new patrons who
joined our Patreon just in the last
few days. Patreon.com slash
TMS is where they went. Jason Miller
and Aaron Waze. Thank you
guys both so much for
signing up. It means a lot.
It is how we keep the lights on.
I mean that literally. The show doesn't exist without
your help. So patreon.com slash TMS, be like Jason, be like Aaron. And sign up today. The morning
stream at gmail.com is our email address. If you got questions, thoughts, feelings, whatever.
Quick note to all the folks who are now getting their copies of rock runners. Everything is shipped
at this point. It's all just a matter of when is it getting to you. A lot of people have
received it. As a result, some are saying, hey, is there a place where you fix the typo on the rules?
because I said there were too many of one kind of card, and there weren't.
All of this stuff has now been posted and updated over at frogpants.com slash rock runners.
We're going to be doing some video soon as well.
Probably Rope Carter into this.
She doesn't know the shit.
But we'll play some games and do some example games and some stuff to help out anybody who might need it.
Although it sounds like everybody's doing great, having a good time.
A lot of people over the weekend reporting they had a fun time with their families.
I've got mine.
I haven't had a chance to play it yet.
Give it a shot.
You got to just rip open the box and,
pick Tina, put her at the table, and play some rec runners.
Yeah. Get Tristan over there and get the speed metal going and he'll be all set.
He'll be ready to go.
Right.
Anyway, more on that soon, but a big thanks to everybody for all your feedback and it's just great to see it in the wild.
And I don't know, it's just cool.
Cool to see something like that come to fruition.
So thanks for all your support.
That's it for us.
We're done.
We need to play a song, though.
Do you have a song I can play?
You can play.
