the morning stream. Do not be moved to pity. Do not let your sword go cold. Your butt is going to be mine. The morning stream. The morning stream. The morning stream.

The morning stream. The morning stream. I love the morning stream. So I thought I would try introducing the morning stream hosts. I hope you like it. And now, Scott Johnson and Brian Emmett.

This is the morning stream. I don't think I've played that since it was new. It was a long time ago. That is like, he's channeling Tazan Day. Is that the second Tazan Day reference that we've had in the last 24 hours? Yeah, and I didn't even mean to do it because I actually pulled that file

and had it queued up before last night. when Tazonde came up. So, yeah, Tazond Day all up in it again. He's back. Back again. He's, you know, he still does stuff. I see him on TikTok on my main page once in a while, just show up going,

and then he moves on. Does he? Yeah, just singing, you know, still doing what he got famous for. Yeah. Does he still step away from the mic to breathe? I don't know. Feels like that guy breathes like the rest of us all the time.

But when he gets on a microphone, special circumstances kick in. he has to step away to breathe. He breathes his pants on one leg at a time, just like everybody else. Just like everybody else, damn it. But anyway, there you go. Welcome back to the show. This is TMS, the morning stream.

I'm Brian. I'm Brian. I'm Scott. That's Brian. Hi, Brian. I mean, if you want. Yeah, I mean, we could swap places for a day. Let's see.

How would that go? What would I do? Oh, I couldn't get on my bike today because it's snowing here for some reason. Oh, well, it's going to be windy here, so I got to do the indoor. Because yesterday it blew me right off my bike. It's like 65 degrees yesterday, sunny and beautiful, and it's snowing now. Yeah, that's welcome to the Mountain West. Yeah, March, early April.

It's kind of effed. Yeah, you really can't expect, you know, you can't predict anything. We've got like high 50s today, so if it weren't super windy, and it might not be when I decide to go out. I can totally do my cooler weather gear, which are the long, the long uncomfortable pants instead of the short uncomfortable pants. Oh, the long expensive pants you were talking about yesterday. The long expensive pants. Listen, I got to put some miles on those things to really make them worth it. No kidding.

So maybe the wind will be to your back. Maybe you'll be fine. You know what I mean? Yeah, but I got to come back home sometime. I'm throwing my bike in a lift. It's going to be my friend. If it's at my back, unless I go all the way around the earth, it'll be at my friend when I come home. You'd have to be very lucky to turn around and have the wind shift.

Oh, that would that be great? Like if I were, if I were a weather wizard or storm or somebody like that. Yeah, you know what's really cool about it. This reminds me of something. That game on PlayStation 4 and 5, the Ghost of Shushima, that game? Yeah, yeah. Sashimi. The way it does, it's, you know, a lot of games, open world games are like, oh, here's a marker way off in the distance. That's how you know where to go. Or you'll hit a button and a little path will remind you what direction you're supposed to go or whatever.

This game does a thing where you just swipe the little pad up and the wind blows in the direction you're supposed to be going. and not just wind but just billowing like cherry tree leaves or blossoms and just stuff just blowing that direction so you always know where you're supposed to go based on that's cool you can't like

flip open a cape and like ride the wind a little bit no that would be cool but also antithetical to it's more realistic I like that yeah I like that a lot more than here is a flashing dot where you can deposit your Pikachu's that you caught yes

It's a very organic method of telling you where the heck to go. And it still, it kind of works the same, but it has this feeling of like, no, it's nature telling me where to go. I imagine when I upgrade to the middle tier of the PlayStation Plus thing, that'll be one of the games that I'm probably able to play since it's not. Oh, I don't know. That one is, they haven't released a list, so we have no idea. Yeah. We don't know. But I mean, we know it's not going to be new day and date stuff.

So I'm thinking ghosts of Sushima, Sushima is going to be old enough to be. Here's my guess. My guess is the PlayStation 4 version will be. I'll bet the PS5 is still premium. Because they still sell that for 70 bucks. There's no way they're going to put that on that list. I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong.

I hope they fill this thing with all the best hits of the day. But I have a feeling. Only the best hits. Yeah, only the best hits. I just have this sneaky feeling. They're not going to do it. But we'll see. Well, we'll see.

Yeah, you're probably right. Hey, Brian. Sometimes the internet provides quality. content. Okay. I would like to share with you some of that now. I'm not going to do it for the 10 hours that it's actually here. There are 10 hours of what I'm about to describe to you. Oh, really? Okay. Ten hours of Nicholas Cage screaming in a car in a scene from the unbearable weight of massive talent. Oh, okay. Yeah, good. So I just thought this was great. I'm going to play a little of it. Here you go.

It just goes like this. Here we turn it up to the one. Wow. All right. I never would have guessed that was. Didn't sound like him to you. Nicholas Cage. No.

Yeah. That's him. I would have guessed. I would have guessed Tina Turner, sadly. Yeah, I made the same. Now, this goes for. Wow. That's really annoying.

Sorry, it's fine. It's already gone too long. finding it hypnotic 10 hour video of this geez yeah like what other I'm just trying to think you know everyone wants to talk about what waste things like NFTs are or whatever

that they you know they're a waste of energy waste of resources and everything how do we feel about 10 hours of him just screaming on a YouTube video that's a lot of bandwidth it's not like it's not like the cool like video game arcade noise or the the enterprise background sound things like you put on

as you're working to kind of just tune things out and be in the zone but uh this uh no you wouldn't do that that wouldn't be your thing yeah janis joplin that's who uh yeah that's exactly i was hearing not tina turner oh yeah janis joplin i could hear that yeah here's so this is like tNG engine sounds see this is nice yeah i like you've got that one just bookmarked right that's oh hell yeah i have this one on repeat i love this one it's one my favorite things in the world and i also have let's see uh they really they really figured out a way on star trek the next generation to steer into the fact that they had crap microphones

and the first season and said, you know what? Why don't we just call it engine noise? Why not? They were just getting some feedback and they thought, you know, we can fake this. Oh, here's another one. This is good.

This is Bridge. So you get the, you get both the engines and the kind of, you can just hear Riker going, Captain, I think this is some bullshit. Oh, number one, fine, it's all good. And then what's her name saying? I feel something funny from the planet. We're being held by the Albuquerque.

Okay, on screen. It's like we're there. Look at that. We just recreated the whole episode of Star Trek. Yeah. Anyway, it's funny we bring that up because we're NFTs in Star Trek. They just, Star Trek just announced they're going to do some NFTs. Oh, really really?

Yeah, which annoys me because, look, that whole thing's starting to, already starting to dry up in terms of the hype anyway. So I don't know why they're getting on it so late. But also, I feel like, given the impact that NFTs have on the environment, it seems antithetical to what a show like Star Trek, which celebrates a future of sustainable energy, would want to do, you don't understand what I'm saying? Like, it goes against. It serves current market, but it doesn't serve this, this Gene Roddenberry future that he created. At all. Yes. Yeah.

So I don't know, man. I don't know how that's going to go. Good luck to them, I suppose, but I don't think it's going to work out. All right. Brian, I have a thing I'd like to do here. Hold on. Okay. All right.

I'm in the wrong tab. I'm in the Star Trek, chill out tab. Here we go. Okay. I'd like to register a complaint. Today, I would like to mention this. Fast food combo should not be cheaper than getting the item separately. So in other words,

I'm so totally disagree but I'd like your explanation of why you should be able to go to a place let's say Burger King okay we'll just use them as the example I would like a whopper and a medium order of fries but I don't want your drink

I don't want one I don't need any soda today I'd rather just have water and if you do water with the combo you still pay the same it's not like they're going to give you a discount so it should be as as expensive or as cheap however you want to look at it to buy those two things separately

than if I added a Coke to it because that that should only make it more expensive. Instead, it makes it cheaper. So why? Why can I have those items for what they should be, which is less money? Why do I pay more for having these two all-a-cart items that they've got billions of?

It's not like it takes them more time. It takes them less time. That's why it's a combo. I mean, think of it this way. You can buy those things separately and you'll pay exactly what you should pay for them. but with a combo you're incentivized to say oh you know what maybe I do want that drink oh and it'll cost a little bit less okay I'll do that but it's you know you're not it's not like they're charging you more for the things you buy individually they're charging you their regular price for the things you buy individual well okay they're just giving you a discount when you buy multiple things that's true but if you that that may be true that's the thing is I don't I don't actually I don't actually know that everything is subjected because they set their own prices yeah I don't know I don't know I don't know when they did it or how they do it. But what I'm saying is if I break them out into pieces,

it'd be one thing if you said, well, yeah, the car is going to be more expensive if you don't get these three items with it because we have to physically make a change and do a thing. Like, it takes work and people and whatever. This doesn't. This takes less work. No one has to fill a cup. No one has to do anything. In fact, it's less work if you just said, hey, give me one of those things under the heat lamp. Just one, all I want is the burger. Why is it $2 more than if I got it with a combo. To me, what's the incentivization for them or me? Because they give me

less stuff? So can I currently buy like a current geek Chronicles hat? No. I can only get it as part of the limited edition combo. No, those, there's nothing, none of that is available. I was what I'm saying. It's still on your store.

It's right there. Oh, he might have it. He might have some dollars. Find me a better example. Like let's say well, no, that one doesn't word literally because I don't think I don't think he has him I think that's a bad listing I could be wrong all right let's see I'm sure you've sold something on your site that was like well if you buy all three blanks then I'll knock the price down well he's going to oh yeah yeah no that's true that's true how's that different because if you're making it's different because

it's a totally different process if I'm printing let's say it's a let's go down to these these Christmas cards see this bundle the card set for 12 bucks Those would be more individually, right? Say again, wait, wait, say that one more time? The Frog Pants holiday card set on my store. Oh, yeah, okay. Okay, yeah. It's like the second, third row now.

But you wouldn't, but you don't offer those individually. You only offer them as a set. No, but if we did, they would be more money per per card. Right, it would maybe be like five bucks per card versus getting all four for 12. That's 100% of production thing. So it's got nothing to do with, hey, it will give you a deal. It doesn't cost more to produce a cup to put your drink into or the, or the carbonated water and syrup?

That's my point. It does. So if they, you just, you just said my thing. They cost them more to fill a cup full of Coke than if they don't. So why do they charge me more? Now, if they were printing cards, I get it. They got to do bulk. They got to do it that way to make the price happen. So you would, so you would only increase, like you would not say, well, you know, it costs.

Okay, let's look it this way. So you've got the Frog Pants Holiday card set, four cards. Yeah. For 12 bucks. Yeah. So $3 a card. Would you sell them individually as $3 a card? No, because if we were only selling them individually, it would be a production choice,

and it would cost us more per card, so we'd have to charge more per card. Okay. And that's going to be true of most goods. Then why don't you charge four times the cost it takes to produce one card, charge that four times? Instead of, instead of, because, you know, these don't come off the printer as a four-pack. They come off the printer as individual cards. Right. But if we make a deal with the printer that says, well, if you do a hundred of these and you do...

Do you like that deal you get from the printer where if you do more, they charge you less? No, I understand. It sounds like you like that deal. I understand. My point is it varies depending on the business. That's why I don't think my stuff compares. No, for real. I really do.

I think it's all different. I'm saying is I don't understand how McDonald's or any of these other guys have any of that to deal with. They don't. They don't have a bulk problem. They don't have a, well, if we're going to sell these individually, we're going to have to, you know, charge more than if we put them in a combo because they don't save any money by doing the combo. Do they? No, but they make money. Well, I mean, they say they don't save money, but they make money because they're giving you something at a discount that incentivizes you to spend a little bit more. for something that most people do get as part of the as part of the set right they usually get a whopper and fries and a drink so if a combo let's say a combo's five bucks which has not been true for a while well let's say those were the good old days let's say you get a combo for five bucks and if i don't want the drink and i just want the burger and fries i'm going to pay like 550 that's what it's like right now so you have to pay so if you buy it right if you If you were to buy each of those things, oh, I see. If you were to just buy two of those things, it costs more than the combo that has three? Yeah. That's my, that's my, that's the complaint I'm registered. So, so basically they're paying you 50 cents to take a, a Coke.

Yeah. No. Well, yeah, I guess they are. And if you look at it that way. If you look at it that way, right? Like, in other words, well, I'll pay $5.50 for just the whopper and fries. But if I get the Coke, you'll not get down to $5. And I basically, you're basically paying me 50 cents to take the cup.

Yeah. And it encourages this kind of weird sort of waste in my mind, because if I'm going to buy, okay, fine, I'll pay the, I'll get the combo because it's cheaper. But if I really don't want that drink, the thing's going to get dumped out in the yard or something. You know, I'm like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to drink it. So even when you get, let's say, you know, you're doing prints and not talking about a combo of prints, but you're going to the printer. Yeah. And you're having them do up a bunch of Alan Alda prints. Yeah.

Your mash prints. Yeah. And, you know, it's, you can get a hundred of them for this amount. But you can get 200 of them for this amount, which is not twice the 100 amount, right? It's a reduced amount. It's still printing each one of those on the press, takes the same amount of ink, takes the same amount of production, takes the same amount of paper, all that stuff. But they're giving you a discount because you're getting more of them.

That's the same principle. Partly, but they are also getting more out of the stock that they get from their supplier for stock, for paper stock. I imagine they get a discount, too, if they buy more stock. Yeah, exactly. That goes all the way up. None of that is untrue. That's all true. You know, Burger King probably gets a discount if they buy 200 pounds of fake meat as opposed to 100 pounds of fake meat.

But I'm eating the same amount of meat. See what I mean? Like, I'm not actually getting anything in bulk. I'm saying. Well, the end person, I mean, at some point, the discount stops. The buck stops here, right? At some point, the end user doesn't get the same discounts that travel down the production line from the cow to the factory to the burger king to the individual location. Well, I'll tell you who does do this and I respect it.

It's in and out burger does exactly what I'm asking. They will sell you at that double burger thing. They'll sell you that for the price that it is. And if you get a combo, those other things are those. I don't even think they even have combos at it now, do they? It's like burger, fries, drink. That's true. They have like six items on their menu.

Yeah, they don't have your own combo. Or if you tell them you want a combo, they know what you mean, but they don't have some weird pricing. It's literally those three things combined. But wouldn't it be better if they added a combo? So let's, so they've already got their deal, right? By the burger individually, by the fries individual, by the drink individual. It is this cost.

Bottom line. Yeah. Wouldn't it be better if they said, but if you buy all. three will knock 50 cents off the price. Now, you don't have to take that deal. You can still go with the thing you like, which is buying all three of those things individually. I don't want the combo. I just want the burger. I want the fries and I want the drink for what it says the cost is on the menu. Yeah. But then we're back to the problem, which is they're making it less expensive for me to be a la carte than I have to buy the whole thing. Then they're in the

problem. And they don't seem to be having a... They seem to be doing just fine. Those lines go around two blocks where I live. So I think they've got it right. I'm telling you. Give me individual pricing. F this freaking fake. But they do give you individual pricing. You can still get all those things for individual prices. Yeah, but I'm saying don't charge me more for the same shit that I just, and it's less work for them. It's less stuff to sell me. It's less things to give me. Don't, don't try to fool me. They've got me in this little marketing who-who going on in their heads. It's like, oh, but what if it was a combo?

look at the mass savings I hate it drives me nuts all right that's my complaint it's registered all right okay it's in there let's get some

let's get some economists out there right and then I'd like to hear your take on why yeah Tina would like to lodge a complaint can Tina logic complaint of course always hold on I'll give her this okay go it would go

Brian you did a great job replacing our light switch with a dimmer, but did you have to break the sink? I take it some home repair did not go the way you planned. It did not. So I installed a new dimmer switch.

Listen, I can do the electrician stuff. I'm no electrician, but I can do that sort of thing, right? Switch off the junction box, open it up, pull the wires out, to connect this, connect that, blah, blah, blah. No problem. We get this brand new light in our bathroom, and it was super bright,

but it supported a dimmer. So I installed a dimmer and it looks good. It matches the rest of the bathroom. All good. Yesterday, I guess I'm feeling super confident from my electrician duties. I'm like, you know, we've got this problem with our sinks that there's some calcium buildup on the little, not spigot. I guess the end of the spigot, whatever, that is causing the water to kind of spray a little bit to the side. And so it's like, oh, I'll get some CLR.

I'll take the little caps off, the little strainer caps off the spigots, put them in some CLR, calcium lime rust remover. Oh, is that a thing you soak stuff in? It is, yeah. It's this magical green liquid that you can put stuff like that and just eats away calcium lime and rust. It's amazing stuff. And then, you know, screwing back in on, we'll be good. So I'm like trying to unscrew this thing off of the end of the spigot. not working. The aerator. Thank you for

Rangers, the aerator. So I go and I get the pipe wrench. And I'm like all right, get on there. I grip it. I turn. Some calcium comes off the side. I'm like, all right. It's slowly starting to move. Moving a little bit. Move a little bit.

Crack. Oh. Well, that's not moving. And I can't see, I don't see what crack, but I hear a cracking noise. I'm like, let's check the let's check this faucet. So I turn on the

faucet and i hear water moving just don't see it moving do you does not seem to be coming out of the end of the faucet so now this is a bathroom that's got two side-by-side faucet so right now it's it's got one side-by-side faucet and uh yeah and the other one so what do so what'd you have to is it down in the little loop pipe thing that what do you call that the little dip i think no I think it's in the I think it's in the arm part that comes where the water comes out like the

stem where the water comes out. I think there's something that broke in there. I don't think it's as far down as the pea trap. Yeah, that'd be good if it wasn't all the way in there. Yeah. Yeah, so I, and and you can't, you've got

two matching sinks, right? Two matching faucets. You can't just replace one. you've got to replace too. Otherwise, you have this weird licking mishmash. And we've been planning on redoing the sinks. Oh, and the kitchen and the bathroom counter. Do we do all of it at once? Do I get faucets that I know we're going to like and keep, you know,

forever when we redo the rest of our bathroom, which is what I think I'm going to do is just, you know, get one faucet that I know is the type we want, but probably have to buy two because if we buy the one and we install it, and then when we're ready to redo our bathroom, that one's not available anymore. than we're kind of screwed. We have to do two.

Yeah. You don't want to spend a couple of days going to all the hardware stores with a photo of the one you did get. Trying to find the other one that matches it. That sounds like a nightmare. Yes, exactly. Claire says you have two sinks in one bathroom. Yeah, we're Americans, baby. Get used to it.

Did you decorate your house like a hotel? Funny to say that. I mean, the mirror lights that we installed last year are the kind like you see in hotels where it's a mirror. And then the outer rim is a frosted LED light. And so you get light from kind of all sides around your face. I really like that. That's actually a great way. It's a great way to find all my bulletin.

And said, I want that for my house. Yeah, that's cool. So, Claire, the way it works is it's often true that you'll find two sinks in a normal. Like a master bat bedroom, yeah. And that sounds way fancier than it is. There's nothing fancy about either of my sinks, but there's two of them in there. And they're fine. they get the job done there's a shower in there you know you guys have showers in the uh

over there not from not from my experience scott we got hot water i don't know if you guys have that's pretty good i like some hot water yes exactly uh well that's fun so uh are you going to do all the work like all the fix i'm going to have to yeah i mean basically it's replacing sinks and i figure that's you know you shut the water it's like electricity you shut the water i off, you unscrew the thing, you pull out the thing, you put in the new thing that's the same shape as the old thing, you screw it in, you reattach the water, and then you turn the water back on and Bob's your uncle. Are we going to be able to do that until Saturday?

We should do bets. We should have some tad pool bets about how many times you drop enough bomb while you're working on this. Oh, yeah, okay. We could do that. Tina can monitor. Yeah. Because I do, my, my, uh, my, my, uh, my M-O on stuff like that is like, I drop a ranch,

I lose the nut, you know, drops behind the thing or the screw falls behind the counter or whatever. My MO is, ah, F me. But I say the actual word. That's, that's. All right. So, Tina, you keep track and we'll have some fun with it. Everything's content. Tina will keep a tally, yes.

All right, nice. Well, good job. Not a tally, but a tally. I'm impressed that you do the sync stuff at all. Kim, every time we've had a sync problem, my wife. I fixed it. Really? Yeah.

I don't find it emasculating at all. Because whatever. I'm bad at these things. I'm kidding. Nobody wants me in there with a bunch of tools doing, I'm just going to make it worse. I swear. So don't have me do it. I have no problem with it.

I've accepted my fate in this world. I'm not the guy to fix your sink ever. Oh, you know what I'm hoping, though, is that when we go to Home Depot and look at these sinks, that if we find two that we like, I hope it's cheaper to buy a pair of faucets than just one individual faucet. Yeah, that'd be great if you can get a bulk discount from the hardware store. Actually, in that business, that might make sense. Might make perfect sense.

Give me two for one. Yeah. It's all. Definitely wouldn't. My main takeaway, by the way, for everyone listening at home, my main point is that sometimes marketing sucks. It's just because all this is marketing. Yes, obviously sometimes marketing sucks.

Yeah, that's all I'm saying. It's marketing sucks. And so what you all think is a deal for a combo is not. they're just I mean it is but it isn't you know what I mean it's all bullshit they're just trying to get you in there that's what they do and it's fine just no what are you doing fast food anyway Scott well it's once in a while is that what are you going to talk about that in real steps no probably not I mean I have to admit to it right you have to stand up and go hi I'm Scott hi I'm a fast food addict and uh what's the uh what's in the confessional what do you say it's like uh I took

the Lord's name five times and I went to Taco Bell. Yeah. Dipped, whatever they do, they do that they touch their chest four times. That's right. Exactly. Something like that. Claire, you know what's up. You got a lot of Catholics.

We're getting Claire every time. You've seen Bell fast. We know how that all works. Yeah, we know what's going on. All right. That's it for this stuff here. I think maybe we should do a little bit of news. So let's do it.

Hey, look, it's the news. and it's brought to you by. The following statement, yo, Dave, yes, you Dave Donnelly, Phil is the greatest and you blow goats. Well done.

Thanks. Thanks very much. That's really good. I read that one ahead and I worked on it to figure out exactly the tone that I wanted to take on that and I figured I nailed it.

Yeah. Phil, you have to let us know how we did. I think. Was Phil the one that, I guess Phil would have to be. Yeah, Phil would have to. I hope it's Phil.

I hope so. That could be somebody who really likes Phil. That'd be real bad. Somebody who needs to feed fill. All right, check this out. Ivermectin, remember the worm, the horsewormer stuff, dewormer? Oh, yes, yes. The popular COVID medication, Ivermectin.

Yeah, everybody was really into it for a while. Well, it turns out, I think this is about as a definitive of studies you're going to get. And there have been others before it. It won't be enough for somebody. Oh, of course, somebody somewhere is still taking it. Someone right now is eating a whole mouthful of this stuff. It's worthless against COVID. They did the largest.

I know, shocking, real shocker. Come on now. It's practically in the name. You can't spell COVID without horse dewormer. That's what I'm, you know, scramble the words. Find out for yourselves, everybody. Now that's something I'd want to buy in bulk. Dewormer. I want to go to my local feed store and get two for one on some Ivermecta. There we go. See, it works. It works there. So here you go. This is the largest clinical trial to date that they've had. And there have been a few, but this is the biggest largest date or clinical trial to date for the

anti-parasitic drug ivermectin against covid-19 concluded that the drug is completely ineffective at treating the pandemic disease according to results published in the new england journal of medicine on wednesday the double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial those are all you know the key the key things there was primarily designed to test ivermectin and see if it could reduce the need for hospitalization among three thousand or one thousand three hundred and fifty eight covid-19 patients high risk for severe disease ivermectad did not according to the international team of researchers behind the trial, dubbed together. They said this, we did not find a significantly or clinically meaningful lower risk of medical admission to hospital or prolonged emergency department observation with ivermectin. Concluded the report. So, man, I hope, like if I'm in the hospital for COVID and they say, hey, we're going to do a horse dewormer study, but you might not get it,

might get a placebo. We're just doing a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized study. I'm like, yeah, no, thanks. Go ahead and do the regular stuff for me. I'm cool. I'm good. Yeah, yeah. No kidding. Now, there is a, the one thing that I will mention, and a lot of people miss this, and they just think it's for horses and it's not. It's actually for all kinds of animals, but it's also for people when they get like river parasites. Yeah, sure. Stuff like that, because it's a dewormer. It's a parasitic, anti-parasitic. And that makes sense. There's nothing about the COVID-19 virus that is a parasitic.

It smells like the dogs need some dewormer right now. I don't know what's going on. Probably a siren. These two. And then one goes, and it's fine. And then the other one kind of chimes in. And then the next one's like, oh, you want me to respond? I don't always hear it.

But what I do, it's magical. So loud. I think we have three dogs today. It's a three-dog night at my house. Yeah, really? Okay. I think Nick's, yeah, I think we're watching Boomer. I'm not sure.

Anyway, an earlier study using cells in petri dishes suggested Ivermectin has antiviral properties at a very high concentrations and could inhibit the pandemic virus. But the result of those trials and other clinical studies have been mixed at best, some small studies which may or may not be of poor quality of claim that Ivermectin has benefits against the virus. A few meta-analysts, analyses, including those questions. questionable studies have provided a veneer of efficiency or efficacy, but turns out, doesn't work worth shit. So do not. Take that, Joe Rogan. Yeah.

Don't be drinking. Did he do that? I don't remember. What's that? He did that, right? When he got it? I think so, yeah. Yeah.

That's bad. Don't be eating that. Is that what Aaron Rogers took preemptively to, or no, it was something else. Some, he's been immunized. I've been immunized. Yeah, he was doing some weird thing where he was like, sitting in a or no making himself throw up with some weird toxin i don't something like that right they had some weird yeah i can't remember what the deal was it takes like 24 hours and he's just it's like

a nightmare it's like those it's like those uh peyote hut things that what what am i thinking of there's some movie or something where they go into a little hot hut smoke a bunch of peyote have a whole bunch of weird lodge is that it yeah i think a sweat lodge and then they they they they They drink some like, you know, whatever it is. And then they come out and yak for an hour and then their whole life has changed or something. That's what it was. Arrested Development. That's right.

Was it in the newer, like that new season of Rested Development? I think there was something about that, yes. Gotcha. Gotcha. That sounds awful. TRPW brings up a good point. At some point, maybe your streaming service took Ivermectin and that's why you can't watch Parasite. Oh, maybe that's it.

Think of that. Well, no, now I wonder because if it doesn't work, maybe the, that was all alive. So now I've got to figure out what's really going on. I think what's really going on is I, I, I have a preemptive slowdown in interest when subtitles are involved. Really? Yeah. I don't know why.

I don't think this is that unusual. I think a lot of people feel this way. Yeah. I just, I just don't feel like reading sometimes. And so even though if a movie is like incredible and I've seen plenty of incredible films that are, that are all 100% subtitled. Yeah. I still am like, well.

I could do that, or there's this other thing where I don't have to read anything. I can just watch, you know? Yeah, but it's, oh, but it's so good. And Flea, like, there's so many movies where it's like, oh, you'll, you know, if you, if you can't get over it, like, that somebody calls it the one-inch barrier, because it's just the bottom inch of your TV. Yeah. international, let's see, it won, it didn't win best documentary, but it did win best foreign film this year. No, no, I'm sorry. Did he win for it? No, drive my car won foreign film. Maybe a flea did win best documentary. I can't remember. But anyway, that's another really good, uh, really good thing to get over, uh, subtitles for. Totally worth it.

Totally worth getting over those subtitles. What about did you do, you didn't do squid game? No, so I haven't seen squid game. Same thing. Same thing. Yeah. Interesting. Not that I have no interest. I do. there is something new some new Korean thing that was all big maybe on Netflix we're all dead similar kind of like dystopian is it the we're all dead one or whatever it's called yes yeah yeah I started it and it was okay it's a series and it seemed okay but I for whatever reason it didn't hold me but yeah that

was also I may have listened to that I may have listened to the dub on that okay which I did I did the dub on casino highest only or not casino heist, money heist because I heard that it was, the dub was well done. And it was. It was really well done. Yeah.

The platform also had good dubbing, which I really enjoyed. If you guys never saw the platform. I never saw the platform. I remember you recommending it. It was like this weird little allegory to class systems and stuff. I had the trippiest experience last night. I'm watching C pretty late.

And I'm in season two now. And it's got Dave Batista and all these new people in it. And at one point, I'm in a scene where I realize, oh my gosh, they're in this city. It used to be Pittsburgh. Now it's called something else. And it's 500 years in the future and it's all gone to shit and everyone's blind. But in this scene, yeah. In this scene, they're having like a council meeting.

And Batista's there trying to make a case for militarization of the sighted, like figuring out a way to get the sighted more common so that we can then train them to be part of our army. And then we'll just rule the world. And anyway, a bunch of people in that room, I'm like, these people look familiar. Why do I know that guy? How do I know that guy? And of course, I'm like, well, I know Jasonamo. He's, you know, the star of the show.

And of course, I know him. But I'm having this weird thing where all three together are making me have serious flashbacks. And I went and looked it up. It's the dude who played the leader of the team. I forgot his name now for Stargate. Atlantis, which is where Mamoa got his start. Oh, really? I didn't know that. That was his first TV show.

That's where I remember seeing him first anyway. So he was on that with him. And I forgot his name. Shepard, I think. And then also the guy that played Dr. Squirley Boy. I forgot his name. Anyway, the doctor on that show, the chief scientist guy that was also on Atlantis

is in this scene. So all these like Atlantis people are alive at a reunion. That's great. It was weird, man. All right. I just watched one of my recommendals tomorrow will be a movie that features a British comedy duo in a very not comedy, but features the two of them together. And I was like, oh, that's clever casting, keeping these two together. It's great. Nice.

I can't wait to hear about it. I know one of the things you're talking about, but I'm not sure about what that one is. So I will stay in the dark because I kind of like not knowing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. Even though we ride it in the thing, sometimes I like to just hear you guys in. And what's good about that is we do it early enough to where it's like a, yeah, I'm planning my flag in this one. And it's like, okay, I won't watch that this week.

Or if I do, I know I can't use it for recommendals. And then we forget what it is by the time when it rolls around. Yeah, or I'll hear some audio and I'll have no idea from the audio. And I love that. So we've done best of both worlds here. We're no longer stepping on each other's toes, but we have a little element of surprise. Correct. David Hewlett.

That's his name. Thank you, Wabit Magic. He is awesome. Oh, yeah. He's great. He's patient zero in that, um... No, not that guy. That's David Thuleus.

Oh, David Thueless, right. David, you and I, I saw that thought, oh, it's a, such a close name, hilarious. It was very close. He was patient zero in that first, uh, Planet of the Apes reboot thing. He's the guy that had the, the virus. Anyway. Okay. All right, good.

Anyway. You know, a couple days ago, I, I shouted Louis Armstrong when I meant Louis Anderson. So there you go. Sure. Look, we got names. They mix up. It's how it works. Exactly. So the point is...

Do you want to prevent this thing? Name your children further different things. Don't give us a David Hewlett when you could look it up and see there's already a David Thuleus. Yeah. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, because then you will be at the end of the pool with the turds. Bloop. Float.

Float. All right. South Korean court upholds a tattooing ban. Oh, man. Oh. This would not go well for my kids. They're all in that... that add the uh what's the word i'm looking for generation that is like super cool with these tats man

they're loving them decorate yourself yo well not in south korea constitutional court and soul helped held a ban on tattooing on thursday confirming south korea as the only developed country that permits no one but medical professionals to perform the procedure ooh tattoo artists uh derided the decision calling it backwards and lacking cultural understanding i would agree yeah i think so yeah i mean i may not be jumping to get one but but I have no problem with everyone else wanting one, get one, go for it. I just, you know, I'll do it one day. Here's the deal.

If Van sat down tomorrow with a piece of chalk on the sidewalk and drew some wacky little image and I loved it and he drew it for me, I'd go, oh, and I'd take a picture of it and I'd go have somebody tattoo that on my arm. That's what I do? Yeah, yeah. It's got to be meaningful like that. Otherwise, what are you doing? I don't want to just have some permanent thing that I may or may not like in 10 years, you know? Right. Well, for me, it's like, all right, I've got the, I've already.

I already got the image figured out that I want to do. I really just need to, like, make it, right, so that I can give it to the tattoo artist, which is the cassette tape. The tape is coming out of the cassette, and it's doing the waveform of Tina saying, I love you, and then going back into the cassette. I do like that. That's really. I have to draw that out.

No problem. I can do that. Sure. I draw things. Yeah, you draw some. And then I need to go get it done. But then it's like, all right, once you get it done, no pools or hot tubs for X amount of time. And we've got the Vegas trip coming up.

We're going to have a cabana for two of those days at the plaza people. Awesome. Come up and spend your money at the cabana so that we're not the ones paying for it. You're helping out another tadpooler if you go and you get drinks because there's a no dispense. I bet I know who's doing that. You definitely know who's doing it. I bet it rhymes with this name. Barry.

Anyway, keep going. Yeah. So I've got to plan it out so it's like, all right, I don't plan to get in the water any time over the next. couple weeks, few weeks, whatever. So I can get the tattoo done. And then I've just the money and the time and stuff. Yeah, yeah. There's a whole bunch of factors for me as well.

There's a whole bunch of stuff. Cleo actually wants to do a whole tattoo run in Vegas. Like, uh, let's, let's have as many tadpullers all get a matching TMS tattoo as possible. Oh, my Lord. Go for it. I ain't going, though. I ain't doing it.

It ain't going to be me. Uh, so anyway, this thing is crazy because it's decades old, this ban. And, uh, South Korea has nearly 50,000 tattoo. artists who risk police raids and prosecution every time they put a tattoo on somebody. So it's not what it sounds like to me is like oh what's it like

it's like if kids and you know some backwater Tennessee town get a hold of some beer. Nobody's really going to raid them you know like you're kind of not getting exactly yeah you're not getting targeted or whatever but no I guess they want to do this more. They want

to have fines up to 50 million won that's $41,300. Wow. Yeah, and prison terms, usually two years, though the law provides as much for life. So there must be some big cultural thing here. It must be. And we have that in Japan, too, right? Tristan has had a tattoo when we went there. And we couldn't go in, like, there was a spa in the hotel we were staying at.

And they were like, no tattoos. because, you know, basically I think I think it's something to do with the Yakuza or something like that, like only the Yakuza has tattoos. Yeah, there we go. J.C. Calhoun is exactly saying it. Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe there's some kind of Asian-wide thing where it's

looks like that way. So Tina and I both had to do our little spa pool time. We actually even had to do separately because we couldn't be in the same pool spa because we had to both be completely naked to get into them. Oh, yeah. It's just weird.

Like, no, I have swim trunks. Can I just use my swim trunks? Nope. No, wean are out, they say. Naked pool. Yep, naked pool. Get in there. Get naked.

So I was alone. I sat there for half an hour, relaxed in the water and watched some weird Japanese game show on the TV. Which describes all their game shows, by the way. Which describes all their game shows, yeah. They don't have any normal ones. When I was there, I couldn't sleep because it was the middle of the night and I hadn't gotten used to the time change.

So I flipped on the TV in this tiny, ridiculous room with a bed that was half my side. and I watched them I think I've talked about this before but I watched them create across Tokyo at the time was Tokyo's largest dominoes setup but it wasn't dominoes they were VHS cassettes

oh that's cool okay and they just all through Tokyo like miles of miles of this and they had some commentator going talking about how great it was all in Japanese of course and I just sat there proposed heads on the corners of the screen

going oh kind of yeah I think it did have have a bunch of that. Yeah. It was weird. They all had that weird thing where it's like they got into that reaction thing a lot sooner. You don't see other players reacting when somebody gets it on Jeopardy.

They don't like show, oh, that's a good answer. No, but I kind of would love it if we did. Right. But anyway, I don't know why this is such a big that. I should ask my Korean siblings. They probably have some idea of why this is so sacrosanct over there. And the thing is, you know, I don't want to lump them in with Japan necessarily because they don't, you know, traditionally

or historically, Korea has been at war with Japan for most of their existence, so I don't know if they'd have the same reasons as the Yakuza reasons. Probably not. Yeah, probably not a gang-related reason in South Korea. I'll bet my brother knows, though, I'll ask him. Yeah. He may not know, I don't know. All he gets

with Korean stuff now is sits around and watch his Korean dramas on Netflix all the time, without subtitles because he doesn't need them. Right, well, see, there you go. Yeah, all I need to do. There you go. Why did you have him just translate for you? You sit there and watch Parasite. Subtitles off.

And he'll say, all right, she just said this. He just said that. Why don't you just tell me what the Parasite people are saying? All right. Here's a final story here. A bartender quit after his boss banned him from drinking on his day off. Oh. That's too bad.

That's like, what? You're mixing drinks at home? No. It says, screenshots of a bartender exchange with his boss have gone viral after revealed his shocking text message he received on his day off which prompted him to quit his job in the exchange

which was shared on Reddit the bartender explained he was having a few drinks on his day off when he got a message from his boss at 3 o'clock in the morning says quote I need you to come in 11 to 10 p.m. today. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. today we have an event scheduled in one bartender. The message read the bartender politely responded no thank you

before reminding his boss it was his day off however the boss still demanded the bartender go to work adding he needed a team he needed to be a team player. It isn't all about you please come tomorrow the boss continued and now i i know i've lost text hold on i'm gonna go back to me i thought i had all this in here you need to be a team player it isn't all about you please come in tomorrow yeah oh this why are you just now telling me at three a m that you need me to work at 11 hours tomorrow i've had a few drinks and i don't feel like coming to work hungover and working

for that long on my day off you don't need to stay ready for no you need to stay ready for work getting too drunk is not a good look if you can't stay prepared some uh sometimes things happen we need to cover for each other you're telling the bartender to not drink on his time off want to go tell the chefs not to eat off the clock too dude if you'd give me more notice i would have considered it not just had any drinks so i wouldn't have to work that long hung over but you waited too long i'm already drunk and i don't feel like coming in and working 11 hours while hung over wow don't you know how to bartend too even if you don't we literally have flash cards for each drink on the menu for each event you can literally just tape them to the counter and

use them as a guy to make the drinks yourself. Are you going to continue against? That's your life. I've lost. I don't even know where you're looking now. Where is this? We are going to talk about this attitude when you come in on Sunday. No, we're not. Bartenders are needed all over the place now. I think I'll just go work at one of the dozens of places hiring around here. I'm fed up with you. Give me a call. Don't make such an impulsive decision. You're making a mistake because you're drunk and you think it's a good idea when you wake up tomorrow. You're going to regret this. And then he says,

eat my ass wow wow and see that's like that's like that's like the dream right when you like you quit and your boss

kind of like begs you to okay hold on dude don't be so impulsive they took it too far it's the bosses I read this I don't blame this barthender his fault and he shouldn't have to

totally yeah totally with the bartender on this one and good for him I hope he did find a job but a place that lets him drink on his day off. I have a feeling he did. We do have time for one more quick one. Okay, all right. A derby driver crashes his new Ferrari straight after buying it. This is never good.

Driver treated themselves to Ferrari and then crashed it, driving less than two miles after getting it. Luxury sports cars have sustained major damage in the crass of St. In St. Elkman's Way, Derby? Darby. Darby. though it says it's spelled derby but pronounced Darby. It is Darby. Okay, so this is the UK

somewhere. Yep. Derby Shire Road policing unit to tweet it to driver. I'm sorry. Darby Shire Roads policing unit is an amazing title. Yes. I love that title. That's really good. Who had purchased the Ferrari this morning was unhurt, no other vehicles involved.

The car was moved off the road and the driver arranged their own recovery. That sucks. You ever done that where you were like got a brand new thing? Anything like walked out of a store, dropped it, shattered it on the ground, any of that sort of stuff? I did that ice cream and I was a kid, but, you know. I may have dropped some fries on the ground.

Had the carefully balanced fries fall off my tray as I was walking to a table, but I can't think of like a, you can't think of a situation where something expensive I broke on the way out of the store. God, that sucks. It does suck. I was famous as a kid, according to my parents, I was famous for dumping ice cream every time we walked out of an ice cream place just always did it and cried got to have another one okay scott's on his second cone apparently that happened every time we went i don't remember it

wait wait so zoe is that not right derbyshire right or is it derbyshire is it derbyshire it's definitely not oh sure sure sure barbyshire derby sure okay not darbyshire so i got the first part i corrected correctly correctly on the first part corrected poorly on the second part so when they say um Garbyshire. Do they say the photo needs to go back to the sure? That doesn't make any sense.

Sure, I will. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, Bill Durand will be here. We're going to talk about his latest and greatest, so stick around for that. We have to do a song, though.

What do you got? We have a song from Heather Summer and it's spelled S-O-M-E-R. This is a brand new single called On Demand. She is, let's see, she is from, where is she from she reminds me of uh like feist or who's the singer that did the um oh my god i'm blanking on the song

Oh, him too? Yeah. Oh, yeah. What are the odds? Every year. Yep. I saw a picture of the other. I usually can tell the difference between you guys, no problem, just because I know you both and it's not a big deal. But the photo you guys put up on, I think it was Facebook, maybe it was Twitter. You, I actually had a hard time telling who was. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that threw me. Turns out identical genes. Yeah, it's just usually, usually what it is, is his hair is usually longer than yours. Yeah.

And right now, we have slightly different beard configurations and different glasses and stuff. Yeah. I took my glasses off of that photo. Yeah. Pretty similar. Yeah, you guys are, you know, you came out. Who was first? Who was out to shoot first?

That would be me, and it was a C-section. Oh, all right. So you were stuck. Yeah. They weren't coming out the normal way. Yeah. So when you leave a house, do you go out to the shoot first? window? Yeah. Yeah. Nice. When you get into us, never mind. I'm not going to go there.

I think it's cool that from Stephen Wright, I think. There's somebody. I know it's like, I'm a Cisection, baby. So when I leave a house, I go out the window. It's a pretty good. It's a pretty good, Stephen Wright. Well, Bill, we're good. It's good to have you here. You're always making cool stuff, and it's always happening. So we don't know until you get in here and tell us what the hell you're doing. So what's going on this week. Right. Yes. Oh, and one. quick thing too i won't be here next week because i will be in hawaii oh oh nice sure will you see randy by like a oh right yeah he'll miss randy by like a oh right yeah or something two ships passing in the night that's right yeah yeah you know who is out there though what's her name from

the fireflies out there right now um uh can't think her name the one that says she ain't had nothing jules state yes her i was gonna make the twixter nether's joke but yeah she's out there right now So if you, you know, you can wave at her and all the people. Oh, apparently Randy saw the coach. What's his name? He played coach. Yeah, Craig T. Nelson. Craig T. Nelson, he saw there and talked to him for a minute.

So this, that just came full circle. And we will talk about making it a minute. But when I was at Emerald City Comic Con like 10 years ago, I went up to Jewel State signing booth on my birthday. Yeah. And I bought a signed photo. And I asked her, I was the only person in line. She had just showed up. I asked her if I could call my brother.

brother and she could wish him a happy birthday and she did oh that's nice he is awesome jules face the coolest she seems like legit awesome she's really great i sat a few barstools away from her at dragon con one year and i was uh but she was in uh deep in uh talk with marina bacharin and so i decided i as much as i'd like to go over there and say hello hello ladies uh they did not i did not want to interrupt because you want to go and say hey i named my cat after your character on uh it was way before that i would have to have to say something like, the cat I get in six years, I'm going to name after you. After your spacehooker character on that show.

That's perfect. Well, that's great. So, Bill, you know, celebrity sightings aside, what do you make in this week? What's going on? Well, have you guys heard about this new game came out called Tunic? Yes, I have. I have heard about that. I hear good things about it.

I played a bunch of it. It's awesome. It's a rad little game. So it's weird because when this got a name. announced, I was at that geek's thing here in Salt Lake City that no longer exists. It's like a convention. Remember Brian the one you came out to in like 2012, 2013, and we spoke at it, sat at the table?

Do you remember that? Brian? Oh, I'm fine. Oh, I didn't know you went to me. I was asking you a question. I didn't know you left. Oh, I'm sorry. Ask it again.

Do you remember that geeks thing you came to that one year out here? Yes. Yeah. So at that event, a couple years later, they announced. tunic at well they announced it at the Microsoft event or maybe it was E3

but then they showed it and had it playable at this event I remember playing it a little bit and going oh this is awesome wow this is like 2014 or something yeah it's forever ago crazy yeah so now that game's finally out it's like a dude and his wife

and I also got to sit next to the wife at in Columbus at that event that I went to we went to that thing yeah we were talking about running a family and parenting while doing creative jobs and that was the whole, it had nothing to do with tunic, but she was like co-producer on tunic. And even then, that was like 2018.

And I remember thinking, this is the thing ever going to come out? We can ever see a freaking tunic. Finally, tunic exists and it's good. It's actually really good. So, Bill, what are you making in there? A little tunic guy or what? What are you doing? Well, they reached out to us to sponsor a video,

and we jumped at it because it looks so cool. And also the weapons from the game are super adorable. So, we made the sword and shield that your little fox character gets to run around with. They're kind of the main weapons from the game. They're very cartoony looking and kind of a perfect candidate for some old school foam smithing. Yeah. Yeah. So Britt took the images from the game and put together some patterns for both the sword and shield.

And of course, those patterns are, if anyone else wants to make them, they're free on our website. Free to download and print out at home. Nice. And these are two-dimensional patterns that you use to create a 3-D object. For the sword, it's all made out of foam, but the center of the sword, we put a fiberglass rod down the middle of it that supports it. Makes the whole thing more rigid. That rod was glued between layers of EVA foam. You guys know I love my EVA foam.

Can't get enough. And then cut in shape to make the blade. the guard, and the handle. Nice. And, of course, I'm saying all this. There is a video over at punish props.com over on our YouTube channel where we show the whole process. That's so cool.

That is cool. Does it feel like dipping back into some older stuff for you, given that you're working in so many materials now? I guess foam never quite leaves, but, you know. Yeah, we just sort of float between all these different disciplines. But yeah, no, it's fun. Foam is so fast and for me anyway it's quite

easy to jump into that those techniques and I have all the cool tools mostly on this one the band saw was extremely useful and I believe I pointed out in the video I say you know boy if I was getting into foam right now

the first thing I would get is a bandsaw because it's just so useful yeah I can do angled cuts like at a specific angle and they're repeatable on the band slot oh just so handy that's awesome so who do they get this when you're done do they get to keep this or what's the deal um that wasn't part of the deal but after we made it they emailed us and say they would like they said they would like to buy it i'm not sure if i want to get rid of it or not

yeah i was going to say because that's hard right you've talked about this before they're kind of your babies and they're difficult to give away once you finish them and that's right but also my babies are filling my house running out of roof I'm looking at a surter, a full-sized surter skull right now. It just takes up a wall. Wait, what's a surer skull? Oh, yeah, we made... Serder from Thor Ragnarok, right?

Yeah. Oh, what? That's cool. Yeah, Brittany made one of those years ago. So, yeah, this may... These may end up on display at the Tunic World Headquarters. Yeah, that's awesome. It looks really good.

That game's really fun, by the way. It's difficult. in a kind of souls-like sort of way, but also in a souls-like sort of way, you discover what you're doing better as you could do it, and then you're like, oh, okay, I can do this, and then you move on to the next area, and it's a very cool game. So people ask about it, like, what is that game? Well, it's basically take a little bit of Zelda, a lot of Zelda, actually, take some kind of indie sensibilities about art and design, and then take some sort of souls-like mystery

and difficulty and there's your game and it's very well thought of it's a cool little game and I have a tip if anyone's playing the game and they're struggling especially on a boss try throwing a ton of dynamite at the boss

that's my go-to move I'm not very good at the at like dodging enemy attacks or anything but they're not very good at dodging dynamite so just grind a couple a bunch of dudes get some money go buy a bunch of dynamite and throw that at the boss

that seems to work pretty well for me I would recommend that as well but it's hard to get that much dynamite it's a difficult rare commodity in that game but yes you're right dynamite always bring dynamite to a gunfight I always say well that's awesome looks really really nice as usual yeah it was fun

it was a really fun build Brittany and I worked on it together the video is just a lot of our shenanigans it's a 50 minute video and the end of it there's two and a half and it's a bloopers. So that's how the build went. Oh, I love bloopers.

They're my favorites. Yeah, you guys do good stuff with your bloopers anyway. Well, that's awesome. Go check it out. Of course, Punishprops.com has a video up right now. It's also on the YouTube channel. And Bill, as usual, you probably buy a little something extra today.

What do you got? Yeah, I'm excited. I'm sharing a video by primitive technology. This one is specifically about a brick kiln, brick molds, and the bricks he makes. makes with those mold. I've never shared a primitive technology video, and I'm surprised I haven't because they're really great.

He really goes all in, too, like the whole like, oh yeah, shirtless, work around in shorts, make brick. Yeah, me make brick. So this guy, this guy has property in Australia where he lives, and he builds all of this stuff, structures, clay pots, everything he needs to make all of these things. He builds it all by hand by digging it out of the earth or hacking down trees. And it's fascinating.

It's so good. There's no audio. Now, if you do want to get more of the story, I recommend turning on the closed captions. That's where he puts more of the descriptive stuff. And also, if he does any silly jokes, he hides those in the closed captions as well. Nice. This is great. So when he's done, you know, build up this whole hut, like this whole building with the stakes?

Yeah. With these books? Yeah. And he might be bricking the whole thing in. I'm not sure how far he gets. I don't remember how far it gets in this video, but I think he's building bricks. And he's just like pulling clay out of the stream.

Yeah. So it looks like I was going to wonder what he's going to, what's the word, not cocking. What is it you put between the mortar? Mortar. Is he, is that what he's making right now is mortar? No, I think maybe he doesn't get into that in this video.

Yeah, like they put some ash in there to keep the mud from sticking to the inside. Oh, look at that. He's got like 60 bricks already. Yeah, he is caveman. And then he uses the clay that he uses to make the bricks to make the mold to make the bricks. And then he uses that mold to make the bricks. That's really great. Which came first, the mold of the brick.

Yeah. Oh, this is so great. Wow. He's living the life, dude. Look at this old school human endeavor, you know? This guy would kill it on naked and afraid. Yeah, he's already two-thirds of the way there with the naked. Yeah, he's already afraid.

No, that's the problem. He's never a friend. Very, very cool. All right, go check that out, you guys. That is primitive technology on YouTube and worth a view, clearly. Bill, thanks for hanging out with this, man. I hope you're doing good. Do you have everything going out good otherwise, having fun up there? I mean, I'm flying at Hawaii tomorrow, so I am in a great mood.

You're jealous. Yeah, I'm jealous, too. That's awesome. We'll have a great time while you're out there. We'll miss you next week, but look forward to hearing your stories. We'll see you then. See what I know That's great

That's cool I want to make bricks No kidding It's talking about sinks and stuff Start by unwrapping that clay Scott Oh that's true It's right here It's getting closer

It's right here That and the Batman thing Are sitting right here Ready to be working I got a whole space for it and everything Look at that You can't see it Start out just by

Just by priming the Batman That'll like 90% of how good that thing will look could be done in priming. You may, you may prime it and decide you don't even want to bother painting it. Well, plus it says it's fine. It's fine primer is the brand. It is fine down right. I don't get you any crap primer, Scott. That's fine primer. That's an ASMR sound for me this. I love that. Yeah, yeah. Something about it. Reminds me a million things. All right. Well,

there you go, everybody. That's going to do it for today's show. Big thanks everybody for hanging out with us watching and being here today. We appreciate it. Be back tomorrow with more with some Wednesday a fun. Oh, Tom's out tomorrow. He's got a Oh, is he really? A vet appointment in the morning, so he won't be here either tomorrow, but... He's still going to be drowsy by the time, uh, showing time to do the show. Exactly. Although I think he's around for DT&S and all that. He just won't be here in the morning. So we'll miss him, but all the other goofiness will happen tomorrow. I should probably like Randy know because he would want to be... Right. Dunaway, Randy. Oh, yeah, we'll probably get Randy earlier then.

Yeah, get him early, which is good, because we can go for a while with Randy, I've learned. Isn't he still in Hawaii though? It's going to be like, oh, so now you're going to be calling me at 4.15 a.m. instead of 4.30 a. Yeah, exactly. Hopefully that extra 15 minutes won't kill him. Anyway, so that'll be fun. We're looking forward to that. Hey, Brian, one thing that is important around here is we can't do the show without the financial support of our listeners. It is entirely fueled by their efforts, and we would love it if they continue to do so and also got some new folks in here. Even a buck a month would make you get cool stuff you've never had before.
