Good morning. Welcome back to TMS. It's Tuesday, December 6th, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson, and that is Brian Ibbett. Hello. Holy crap. It's Brian Ebbett, everybody. What a catch.

What a catch this is for this show to get Brian Ibbett. It's amazing. Thank you for taking time out of your crazy celebrity career to be here today. You know, that's what I do. I, uh, you know, happy to, uh, happy to, you know, hang out with the little people. Yeah, you got to, no, you don't want to forget where you came from, you know, you got to, right, exactly. You got to hang out with us. Uh, it's good to have you, of course, and all of you, uh, at home listening.

I'll get this out of the way early, uh, a, uh, course, very regular person to our community and a very important moderating force in our community. Uh, Jeannie had a birthday today. Happy birthday. She still does. She's still having them. Yeah, she still having. There's no hat. It's only half.

It's still celebrating it. I hope your husband does something nice for you and maybe those puppets you guys have. I hope they do something nice for you. I hope they sing happy birthday to you. Yeah, yeah. All that stuff. Here's that little kid. I'll give you the whole treatment here, Jeannie.

Congratulations on rotating around the sun yet one more time. And that's not the last we'll hear of it. There might be something at the end of the show for her as well. requestie requestie okay well get your music on everybody because later genie's name arises from the ashes once again all right let's get going here we got a um i want to just read this email fast because it's it's kind of a nothing burger of an email but i'm annoyed by it and i want to i want jeff to i want jeff to write back okay so jeff sire aka bronco wrote in he says scott just listening to core do you want an explanation about water direction north versus south of the equator so we had a

we got no conversation about the whole myth or is it a myth that toilets flushed differently beyond below the equator the water goes counterclockwise versus clockwise depending on which hemisphere you are yes and though i don't think i've ever been i don't think even southern china's below the equator so i don't think i've ever actually been below the equator unless tijuana or parts of Mexico count because I have been there, but I've never been to like South South America or even Central. Yeah, it has to be South America is where the, or Ecuador technically is where equator passes through. So Cancun, Cancun not low enough, right? Still not low enough now. So I, so Australia was. Yeah, Australia was. And so did you, when you were in Australia, you've been.

Did you see it? Did the toilet go a different way? Did you notice? Do we want to, we can wait. Let's wait until Jeff, Jeff talks about it. Well, we can. I just, all I'm saying is, it. Yes, it's The corollus, uh, Coriolis effect, Corollus effect. So it, so in your mind, this is the reason I'm establishing this. You're saying, you're saying, yes, it does go that other direction. It, it does, but it's, there's so much, it's, um, the toilet is a bad example because, uh, any imperfections in the way the water comes out of the, the rim cause the water to go in whatever direction that's going to go. You can make water go counterclockwise or clockwise in a, a North American, and toilet just because of the way the water comes out of the brim.

Right. But the Coralus effect is real. It's just the toilet example is a bad one. Okay. So this is where all these things went with Corr that night. And there were people in the chat going, it's a myth. It never happens. It's not real.

Then we had other people going, it totally is real. And they even use the name you just gave it, the Corallis Corallus. Coriolis. Coriolis. Coriolis. Thank you, Icar. Coriolis. Coriolis. Coriolis.

So, like, if you did this in a vacuum and you, You basically had, like, you know, in South or in Australia, had water going down a drain. Or did one of those, like, how you have the two-liter bottles connected by a little plastic thing. And there were no other imperfections in the plastic or anything like that. Yes. Starting from scratch, the water going down would then start to go in a clockwise effect. Okay, interesting. So this is what he says is it's a micro versus macro thing.

If you just reply yes to this email, which I did, it's a little involved and it will mean I need to find out and get some picks for you and blah, blah, blah. I just don't want to invest any time if you're not overly interested. Damn it, Jeff. I want to know. So please send it. I wish you would at the first time. But hey, if I'm asking, I'm asking, get it in here. He said he was just too tired.

And so there's that. Yeah, I want to. I just like to learn, man. yeah for sure no i think it's we all we all like to grow we like to educate ourselves as a society yeah yeah just realized that i didn't haven't done the advent calendar today so let's see what we got in the old advent calendar for the sixth tear open your sack let's see what you got it is oh it's another this is a gingerbread captain marvel oh you already have one ever i don't have any of these oh nice nice i have other i have other gingerbreads i have a gingerbread hulk and a gingerbread thor

and it comes with a little base, a little plastic base, so you can make her fly. Does Gingerbread... I can fly. I'm a real boy. Scott still hasn't watched my movie, so I don't like him very much. I still haven't.

I'm in the middle of your spin-off. Oh, there she goes. I have the base. So, wait a minute. Does Gingerbread Hole? Can Gingerbread Thor get along? Or is there trouble there? They do.

They didn't, you know. At first, they started, fighting and Thor is like, hey, I know him, he's a friend from the oven and then they fought for a little bit and then... Then it was fine. Okay. He didn't pick him up and ragdoll

throw him on the ground like over and over any of that stuff. Not like you did with the puny god loki. Gotcha. All right, moving on. Poor Captain Merck is in a place where I think I'm going to have to use tweezers to get her out. Oh, no. She's next to the Mac Mini behind the sound thing

and it's my hand. I have to, like, take things apart that I've got put there to not slide around. Nobody puts Captain Marvel in a wedge. That's right, exactly. I have some tweezers I can do. Well, so much for her superpowers. All right, moving on. Check this out.

I found a, well, someone sent this, and so I was, actually, two or three people sent this to me and just said, you guys have to talk about this on TMS. So, this is really freaking weird. Yeah, I watch this to be prepared for it. For some reason, I'm going to open, though, why? Okay, there we go. I was worried it was going to get taken down, but they never did. So let's see. Let me pull it over here and pause it.

Let's get some audio. One sec. Okay, so this is like, you've all seen a million commercials that are just a little overwrought, a little too artsy-fartcy. I don't even how to describe it. It's just, you know, they're like perfume commercials or cologne commercials. marketing speak to the nth degree to where things don't even make sense. Yeah, and it's all just a highfalutin and people lavishly walking around going,

oh, I exist in an upper atmosphere of perfectness and blah, blah, whatever. So Lamborghini put out an ad into the English market. Lamborghini, of course, an Italian joint. And I'm going to play this ad. It's mostly good for the audio, but we'll have some visual here as well. Brian, you've seen the video, I guess, probably, right? I've seen the video. Okay, excellent.

I can't believe this past whatever muster. And this isn't edited or somebody's messed with it, everybody. This is them, this is the thing they put out and was on television and internet and whatnot. Okay, it's an actual... I have a theory, by the way, once we get to it. All right, here we go. Lamborghini.com's ad on this is where I found it on Twitter. Here it is.

Yeah, we got a lady. Very lovely woman This one's for you Oh my Concrete uriner Tamer of Curves Master of Speed Where your finest suit

Dirt is made for it Let the show off begin On this new concrete Spray paint powder on tires That thrive on the rim Dust is gold Dirt For the boat

Black out the sun raising red clouds on that dry ground May gravel rain down Let adrenaline and fun collide It's rain grains of dust aside It's no filth This is designed It's no filth Any amount of crime is fine.

The more you get dirty, the more you'll shine. Big finish, big finish. Dust is gold, dirt for the bowl. Dust is gold. Dirt's for the bowl. All right, you get the idea. It's terrible. It is so terrible.

here's my here's my theory on this give me your theory this was this is a commercial built by an AI generator it's entirely possible this is dolly's first commercial it's uh sure feels like it should like it totally feels like this is what I think

marketing speak for a car sounds like yeah I mean this is what they say on the official post this is the official Lamborghini verified account v10 engine all wheel drive we take you beyond the new hurricane Storato, Storato. The first all-terrain...

It's not filth. Yeah, it's not filth. First all-terrain super sports car that ensures authentic thrills on and off the asphalt. Okay, that all reads fine. But what is, what is up with the terrible... And the guy's mouthing it exactly

as the words are saying. It sounds like they replaced the words with something else or, you know, it wasn't Italian with like a translation. It's really effed, man. Yeah, it's really, really bad. It is... I can't believe that.

I want commercials for every product now, made by this company, like McDonald's, it's not filth. Let the grease fly up in the air. And what do they say about, like, grime is fine? It's like, what are you doing? What are you up to? I think it's just like, you know, it seriously is either more likely situations that it's something completely lost in translation. But there is a small part of me that thinks that somebody, figured out a way to make an AI

generator do a commercial. Or at least write the copy for a commercial. Yeah, or something. Somebody got fooled somewhere. How are you one of the most expensive brands of cars in the history of the world? And this is your commercial. How? Exactly. All right, well, I thought that'd be

a fun little thing. Brian, I understand you have some sort of quiz for me. I have a quiz for you. This one came from Zoe brings bacon. And it's something that, you know, that we both have experience with. It is the United States of America quiz

courtesy of Britannica. They've got quizzes. I've actually got a second one. A different quiz that somebody else sent. Like, within one day, two people sent me quizzes to quiz you with, but we'll save that other one for another time. Sure. Because that one, I think you'll need to put on your screen and complete it because there's

visual elements that people want to see on the stream. But if you're ready, it is a well, it's 60 questions, but let's see. Let's go as until we get tired of it. Okay, no, if I'm down, sure. All right. Okay, I turned off the timer so that I have time to ask you and you can think about it and stuff like that.

All right. All right, question number one, who designed the famous Uncle Sam, I Want You poster? Who, is this multiple choice or just? It is multiple choice. Your choices are. Charles Dana Gibson, James Montgomery Flagg, Howard Chandler Christie, or Thomas Nast. uh uh see i have no ideas i'm just picking see howard chandler christie yeah i think it's thomas nest but i'll click what you chose oh it was james montgomery flag believe it or no wow i just thought

that was a made up like dc character name actually yeah the name flag seemed like b s to me but it totally did yes exactly all right question number two okay we're doing we're doing great how many colleges and universities make up the ivy league is it five Six, eight, or ten colleges in the Ivy League? For some reason, six sounds right. Okay. Six is incorrect. Eight.

Eight, really? Eight, Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell. Pennsylvania University? Pennsylvania, yep. I feel like I never hear about that one. You hear about all those others, but you never hear it. All the other ones, right, exactly. Where'd you go, Pennsylvania?

No, I mean for college. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, yeah. The railroad? No, you mean where the vampires are. sell on that property? Yeah, it's the vampires. All right.

Next question. Which American city was historically known as New Amsterdam? New Amsterdam. Oh, give me that things. Here's your choices. There's a great Elvis Castello. I almost started singing the Elvis Castello song. Boulder City, Salt Lake City, New York City, or Brigham City?

Well, Brigham and Salt Lake are both here, and I don't think those are right. I'd say New York City. Dutch. New York City. sounds like a thing that would have had that for a hot minute. 100% correct. And it is correct, yes. Nice. Yeah, new Brigham City, wasn't it? That thing's a dump. Nobody goes

there for anything. The Crossroads of America is the motto of which American state. Is it Mississippi, Maine, Georgia, or Indiana? Indiana. I'm thinking Mississippi, let me click Indiana. It is Indiana. Well done.

Yeah, Indiana sits the crossroads of America. Just seems like something they would... It seems like something they would say, you know, up there. They'd go, look at us. We're right here where everything peels off to different directions. We're the crossroads. Yeah, they claim it's because it's just got Ohio to the east, Kentucky to the south, Illinois, to the west,

and the state of Michigan to the north and Lake Michigan. Sure. Okay. So we've got, guess what? Colorado, we've got stuff to the northeast west and south as well. Yeah, I know. The more west you work, you realize, oh, that wasn't that cool. Maybe it was for a minute before everybody moved westward, but, you know.

All right. All right. number next question in what year was the new york stock exchange created was it 1928 1909 1817 or 1875 it's one of those two 18s um 18 18 d 1875 1875 let's see if that's correct uh you were right about it being 18 it's the other 18 17 17 obviously 192828 it was the big crash, so it was about the year that it was created. Yeah, I knew it was late to 1800s, but it could not fucking remember.

Okay, fair enough. Well, well done being, you know, close. Closest without, without. I get a proximity bonus for... You get a proximity bonus. What was the 50th state to join the United States? Do I ever need to read the choices?

Yeah, go ahead, just to be safe. Sure. Alaska, Hawaii, California, Texas. That would be Hawaii. Hawaii is correct. That's a very. A 59. Too easy, that one. Too easy.

It's a gimmie. They got to have a couple of gimmies in here. The name of which state is derived from a Shoshone phrase meaning, or Shoshone, Shoshone, right? Shoshone, I think. The Native Americans, Shoshone, phrase meaning gem of the mountains. So the name of which state comes from the Shoshone phrase for Gem of the Mountains. Is it Louisiana, Alabama, Nevada, or Idaho? Shoshone would have been.

I think Nevada Nevada Idaho you're you know again right side of the country yeah almost in the mountains led me I just thought in a way it's not D again but there we are

there we are and there we are in which state will you find the natural park known as the Garden of the Gods would you find that in Wyoming Missouri Colorado or Nevada the Garden of the Guard It's a natural, garden of the gods, natural park. Um, doof.

Yeah. All right. Have you been there? It's cool. I have. great. It's one of the good things about Colorado Springs. Like it's, you go down there and you hike and there's like a rock that seems to be balanced that you feel like a strong wind, a huge rock that if a strong wind can knock it right the hell over and stuff. Really? Okay. That sounds

awesome to go there. Right. Which iconic figure was associated with female defense workers during World War II. So, you know, you had your female defense workers and World War II, I think without, well, never mind. Let's give you the choices here. Rosie the Riveter, Betty Boop, Minnie Mouse, or Wonder Woman. That would be Rosie the Riveter. Yeah. I was like, I was going to say, you know, famous poster, we can do it. You can't pretty much remember Minnie Mouse. Oh, we can do it. Now, that's great. That one's easy. Thank you. Thank you, Zoe, for an easy one. All right.

Yes, exactly. Who was the first? Chief Justice of the United States was at Earl Warren, John Jay, William Howard Taft, or Charles Evans Hughes? Oh, shit. Um,

the first one. The first chief justice. All right, D, because I don't know. The rest of those names are later, I think, so. Yeah, so Charles Evans Hughes is, oh, incorrect, John Jay. John Jay? Who the frick is that?

J.A. Y. spelled out John J. All right, like Homer's middle name. John J. That's right. or Cardi B or Alt J. Cardi B probably. The way things are going, I bet Cardi B is a future Chief Justice. I know, exactly.

Future President Cardi B. Just as soon as macho Camacho has had his two terms. Semper Fidelis is the motto of which military service is at the Navy, the Air Force, the Coast Guard, or the Marines. Well, Marines are Semper Fri. what was the last part of it again uh is the motto of which military service semper fidelis is the motto fidelis fidelis fidelis fidelis always truth i believe is is what that means uh navy that doesn't help you say navy uh no it marines semper phi is short for oh it is faithful i'm sorry not truthful faithful faithful okay fair enough i thought they were separate

now see i'm learning no they just they just said let's just shorten it to Semperfy, because then you have more things that can rhyme with if it's in the song. And you can go on to whatever you have next. You don't have to spend too much time with the word. Exactly. Yeah, I like that. Who was the first U.S. astronaut

to travel in space? Was it? Buzz Aldrin, Alan B. Shepherd, Jr., Neil Armstrong, or Jim Lovell? Level. Level. Travel in space? Travel in space. Well, it's not Jim Lovell because he was Apollo 13.

Can me everybody but Jim Lovell again? Sure. Buzz Aldrin, Alan B. Shepard Jr., Neil Armstrong. Alan B. Shepard Jr. That is absolutely correct, yeah. 1959, original seven astronauts chosen for the U.S. Mercury program, and he made a 15-minute suborbital flight in the Freedom 7 spacecraft, which reached an altitude of 115 miles. And Lovell was, he was Apollo 13, right?

Apollo 13 and Neil Armstrong was Apollo 11. Buzz Aldrin. Also alive. Yeah, yes, but he, I wanted to say, didn't Buzz do two? He may have done another, yeah. He may have been out there. That guy's great, by the way. He is, yeah.

Still alive, I think. What a great, and a great astronaut name. What's the highest peak in the 48? Coterminius, Coterminius, United States. I think, what's the, the continental United States is what I think, but Coderminius. Coterminous?

Is that how we're supposed to be? Coterminus? Is that what we're supposed to say instead of lower four years? Contiguous is another way of saying that, but I've never seen this word right here. Okay, weird. I'm sure it means the same damn thing, but...

Yeah, why not? Make it complicated. What is the highest peak in the contiguous in the continental United States? Is it Mount Williamson, Mount Elbert, Mount Whitney, or Mount Sanford? but this I don't

I should know this Whitney I don't know I think it's Albert but I'm Oh no it is Whitney Oh it is That's a complete guess

Elbert is Colorado I think is why I'm thinking that I think Albert is the highest one Colorado And so we'd just get a little bit Self-focused here Yeah 14,494 feet I think our tallest is baldy, and it's the one that's the one that the Paramount logo is based on.

Oh, really? Oh, that's cool. Yeah. A lot of people don't know that, but that mountain that they show when the stars are zooming up to go around the mountain. That's in just near rock. You know, it was on the Gong in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Oh, that's right. I forgot.

I like when they integrate that. I do, too. I think that's great. The first one, it's the mountain that he's about to get the idol from or nearby. Pretty red. All right. In which state, oh, we're ready for this. You need an easy one. In which state would you find the Everglades? Is it Texas, Alaska, Florida or Colorado? I'm going to go ahead and say, callaflora, is what I meant.

Colorida. Coliflowerda. Nobody, no kids want to live there because they don't want, they don't like their cauliflower. That's great. Yeah, that was an easy one. Thank you for the soft ball. Ready for another easy one? How about this one? Which of these monuments is located in South Dakota? Is it Mount Rushmore, Montezuma Castle, Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial or Marine Corps War Memorial? I'm pretty sure it's the president's heads in the Mount Rushmore deal. That's right. My favorite Don Martin drawings is the four presidents' butts on the other side of the mountain. Oh, yeah.

That is the most Don Martin-ass thing ever, by the way. It really is. That's what that guy's job was, basically, is to have sight gags like that in Mad magazine. Look it up, kids. He was a... Look up, Don't Mark. great uh always drew noses and chins exactly the same way on every single person but he was a institution if you grew up in the 80s and read mad magazine you loved don martin and his feet

remember his feet always had the flat yes yes right so weird so weird all right if you're visiting death valley in which u.s. state will you be another easy one Colorado California New Mexico Nevada that would be California sure will I even beeped it before I heard the answer but yes Well, you were fine to do that. There we go. Somebody found the Don Martin drawing. Oh, let me look at the chest for a second. Yeah, there it is.

The guy laying, I assume that's probably... It's Roosevelt? Probably Roosevelt, because those are like his hiking pants, you know? He was always into that. And he's got the feet up like that. That's great. Toes curled. What is the minimum age necessary to be eligible for membership in the U.S.

House of Representatives? is it 30 21 25 or 18 House of Representatives Yeah how old you have to be to be a To be a to be uh to be uh in the u.s house Let me rip through the numbers one more time sure sure i'll go in order of uh small still largest 18 21 25 or 30 all right so the only reason i think i know this for sure is we just they just got somebody a gen zer from

Florida um and i think he's under 25 so i'm going to say say 21. 21 is incorrect, 25. Ah, he must be, shoot. I don't know how that kid is. He's probably 25.

25, 26, something like that. Yeah. Yep, and be a U.S. citizen for at least seven years. And residency of the state from which the members elected, of course. American writer Henry David Thoreau immortalized which pond in Massachusetts. Is it big sandy pond, long pond, great herring pond, or Walden Pond? It's right across from the B. Dalton Pond. I'm going to guess because I don't know,

and I just like the sound of it, so I'm going to say Great Herring Pond. Oh, it is Walden Pond. Damn it. Yeah. I haven't read any Thoreau, if I'm being honest. None of it. I have never been to that pun, but I did see Thoreau's grave in one team and I went up to Massachusetts. That's cool.

Great New England Drive. big stone and everything? Yeah, yeah. Henry Day, I mean, it was like, there's so many people in this. It's Sleepy Hollow, it's the Sleepy Hollow graveyard and there's so many famous people in there. But it's not the Sleepy Hollow

that the legend of Sleepy Hollow is based on. Ah, gotcha. That's kind of like the place in Maine, or the place in Massachusetts where they hung, or where they burn the witches. What's that called? Oh, Salem. Salem. So there's Salem, Oregon,

but no witches were born in. Yes. No, which is, uh, all the Salem, Oregon witch is totally fine. Yeah, they're all good. They're still operating. Yeah, there's still witches. It's all fine. Boy, that is, and that place, if you go there, it's really cool, but you get, like, both sides of, of the, the witch thing. And by both sides, I mean, there's a lot of places like, uh, the witch's yogurt shop and broomstick books and stuff like that, right?

And it's, like, all cheesy. And then you go to this memorial and they just, like, list all the women who were killed. We're killed. People thought there are witches and it's like, oh, can we go back to the ice cream place? Yeah, I like the more fun witch-witchie take, man. I know, but I mean, it's so sad. Wow. All right.

In which American city is the Miss America pageant held annually? In which of these cities do you get the stink of Trump out for about a month after the pageant? Sure. Is it Kansas City, Los Angeles, Atlantic City, or New York City? Boy, it's a tie. for me in my head, but I'm going to go with it. It just feels like an Atlantic City thing. Yeah, for sure is an Atlantic City

thing, yeah. Okay, good. It moved to Las Vegas in 2006 and then returned to Atlantic City in 2013. He doesn't own any of that stuff now, right? This is somebody else owns up. Yeah, somebody totally, yeah. In which year

did the United States enter World War I? Was it? And I'll put these in numerical order, so it's easier for you to keep track. 1914, 1917, 1918, or 1919. Basically, 14, 17, 18, 19. Something in my head says 17, and I don't know why. So I'll say 17.

That is absolutely correct. Yep. Yep. I think I was, I think I tie it with the flu of 2018. Not 2018, sorry. 19, 19, 19, 19. We have flu in 2018, too. Yeah, we have the flu, sure.

But we didn't have the big Spanish one. they killed everybody um the started in america funny enough but that that one coincided with the war but i guess we were about a year into it before things got weird okay so that's why i remembered yep i feel good about how i've done so far movie the movie 1917 good point yeah the oh yeah i need to see that damn thing you haven't see that oh gosh that i love that director so amazing yeah sam mendes yeah i love sam mendo's movies that will look so amazing on your your 4k big tv that In addition to it just being a great movie, it is one of the most beautiful, beautifully cinematic movies I've ever seen. The two war movies that I would love to see and haven't yet, that and Dunkirk.

Don't ask me why. I just haven't gotten around to it. Dunkirk's like permanently parked on HBO. I should just watch it. Yeah, that's the problem. When you know it's like never going to leave the thing, you're like, oh, I can watch this anytime. The old convenience rule. Anyway.

Exactly. What was the first zoo in the United States? United States. Is it the San Diego Zoo, the Philadelphia Zoo, the Cincinnati Zoo, or the Brookfield Zoo? Brookfield. Where's that? Yeah. I don't know.

Well, it feels like it's got to be... What was the first thing you said? Pennsylvania. Brookfield Zoo, by the way, is in Chicago area. And what was the first one you said? The first one I said was San Diego Zoo. Oh. Read them all one more time.

Sorry, San Diego. Yeah. San Diego Zoo, Philadelphia. Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, Brookfield Zoo. It's got to be Philly, right? Early country. I would think because of those cities, Philadelphia is the oldest, so I would assume so, too. That is correct.

Yeah, 1874. Okay. Because I figure, I mean, these things, a zoo is the thing you would do as soon as you could, right? As soon as you're established, you would have a zoo. It feels like, I don't know. We found a new land, and we brought animals. Let's put them in cages. Because Chicago, the Brookfield thing, that's, Chicago's

like a later development. Like, that happened, you know, they were an expansion West. Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right. Which, oh, I like this. Which was the first official national flag of America? So it's nickname, or it's, I guess it's not nickname, but it's common name.

Yeah. The Union flag, Continental Colors, Stars and Stripes, or Stars and Bars. Continental Colors is one of them? Yeah. Union flag, Continental Colors of Beneton, Stars and Stripes, and Stars and Bars. Well, it's definitely not Union. I like the colors one. I like that.

Yeah, the sound of that, continental colors. Stars and Stripes. Damn it. So it's still that, we still do that. We still call it the Stars and Stripes, yeah, but. All right. Damn it. It's all right.

Yeah, Union, there's no way it was Union, because Union would have been later in the Civil War. Right. And the Union flag versus the Confederate flag, so. Exactly, yeah. All right. Which American State has the most? interstate highway kilometers. Is it, Texas, California, Montana, or New York?

All right, it's either, it's down to Texas or California. I would think so. Jeez. I know. It's really, you know, you go for purely based on size or you go for notable interstate problems. Yeah. Like, I just know how much California relied on it, whereas I guess Texas does too, but, uh, California, I'll just say, I don't know. Let's say California. It is, no, it actually is Texas. Damn it.

Uh, 3,234 miles or 5,204 kilometers of interstate highways in Texas. California, second place, has 2,456 miles or 3,952 kilometers. So even more than 1,000 less kilometers than Texas. I forgot the rule. Everything's bigger in Texas rule. I forgot. I know. Well, bigger but more, you know, I guess there too. Sure.

All right. We'll do like three or four more. Yeah. How many states are included in the New England region of the United States? New England up there? Yeah. How many states are included in that? Is it three, four, six, or nine?

New Hampshire, Connecticut. Oh, geez. Massachusetts, I assume. I'll just go with an even number and say, wait, was four an option? Four is an option. And six was an option, right? Six is an option.

It's got to be more than four. So let's go six. I would think six is correct. It is six, yes. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut. Oh, Rhode Island. Island and Vermont. Sorry up there. I forgot about you. Brian's about to go to one of you and I forgot about you. Actually, I'm about to go to two of you. I'm going to go to New Hampshire and Vermont because we fly into New Hampshire and then we drive to Vermont. Oh, nice. It's pretty close, right? It's not like a huge... It'll be a two-hour drive, but we want the Southwest miles, so we're doing it that way. You should see, you should try to visit the Hobbits of New Hampshire. They're out there. That's a thing. Oh, sure. Are they new hobbits? Yeah, they're new hobbits of New Hampshire.

Yeah, okay, in that case, as long as they're the new hobbits. They're like the peppermint patties of New York. It's terrible. New York City. All right, we'll do, let's, we'll do, this is number 25, so we'll do this one and the next one. All right. What is the largest river that flows into the Pacific Ocean from North America? Is it the Colorado River, the Salmon River, the Columbia River, or the Missouri River?

Pacific Ocean. That would have to be. Pacific Ocean. have to be Colorado, right? I think so. No, actually, it is the Columbia. Really? The Missouri River is east.

But, yeah, Columbia River, the largest river flowing into the Pacific Ocean from North America. I like this phrasing, it is exceeded in discharge on the continent only by the Mississippi, St. Lawrence, and McKenzie Rivers on the east. Damn. But Columbia River. By the way. Got that big old gorge. Yeah, they got the gorge. The Colorado River, which we used to run all the time, is.

kids like scout groups and stuff like that um first i saw somebody drown on that thing oh really they were in the boat they were in the giant raft ahead of us a big raft ahead of us somebody fell off a guy like one of their leader guys like a like a scout master fell off the edge and never came up right it was rough yeah i remember you telling the story geez yeah rough rough but it's not the not the time they fished a body out of the flood that you saw no that river a similar deal but the they fished a this naked 35-year-old dude out of the river because he had he had fallen into the river way upstream it was during the floods of 83 84 or something like that yeah it was so bad that it tore it literally tore all his clothes off because of the current she's the force yeah I never quite got over that that that was hard to see and that was just near our neighborhood yeah I didn't like that anyway all right

well let's get to the very last question here and boy as a as a fan of the game monopoly I don't think it's going to help you at all. What was the first steam-operated railway in the United States to be chartered as a common carrier of freight and passengers? Jeez. It's a lot of clarification. Sure. Is it the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the Erie Railroad or the Union Pacific Railroad? I mean, Union Pacific went clear across everything.

Yeah. So it seems like that'd be the one, but. Pacific is such a big name. Two of these are Monopoly Railroad. Yeah, that's the problem. That's the problem is I hear them and I think. Oh, those are prominent. So those must be, you know.

Is it the Redding Railroad? Yeah. I'm going to say Union Pacific just feels right. All right. And nope, it is the B&O, the railroad full of BEO, the first steam powered railway in the United States to be chartered, blah, blah, blah, 1827. The great body odor railroad of your. That's great. Exactly.

Wow. So I didn't keep score. Did anyone keep score? I didn't keep score either. You have 5,700 points according to this. I don't know what that means as far as like how many we asked 27. Actually, we asked 26 questions because I skipped how many states are there in the U.S. Oh, duh. That's something you asked like some tribe in Africa that's never seen another man before. That's right.

Exactly. That's amazing. That was a really good list. Did she make this or just find this somewhere? No, she found it. Oh, okay. So each one is, well, that's weird. I was going to say each one is worth 400 points.

But then how do you get 57? Because you think it would be an even number. It does not make sense. That doesn't make sense. That scoring is F. Yeah, no, she found this on the Britannica.com quiz site, and it's the, yeah, she just put a link to it. It's the United States of America quiz.

Oh, did you see? Oh, now you did because I sent it to you, and you responded, but this Google feud thing. Oh, yeah. It's really fun. It's like... It's more like... Yeah, go ahead.

Like the Googly thing we did with Daryl back in the day than the actual feud game. Yeah, it's crazy. So, everybody at home, just go try it out. Googlefude.com is what it's called. You just choose a category. Let's say, I don't know. I'll choose one real quick here.

We'll do culture. And then it gives you basically, how does Google auto-complete this query? And it gives you a bunch of, does Santa have a and then blank? And it gives you kind of a hint as, to length, like how long some of these might be, but that's it. And that tells you how much they're worth.

The top one is worth $10,000 all the way down to $1,000. So you have to fill it in. So, Brian, how would you finish the sentence? How does, or sorry, does Santa have a what? What would you say? Geez. Is safe search on or not? I don't know if it does that.

I have no idea. Does Santa have a car? Okay, let's try that. Car. Oh, got an X. There's no sound of this thing, which is unfortunate. uh does santa have a child child you get four tries by the way if you get them wrong so two two uh two xes yeah geez does santa have a different outfit right outfit through oh no no still not i've actually found this to be

difficult so don't feel bad it is extremely difficult i did one yesterday it like it was super mario blank and i got two of them right yeah yeah it's not it's harder than you think it's going to be which I guess I kind of like about it. Does Santa have a birthday? Birthday. Oh, number two answer, 9,000 points. Congratulations. That means you got another chance for that one.

What do you got? Good deal. Does Santa have a dog? Oh, my gosh, you got it. It's fourth down, 7,000 points. So far here is 16,000. These are, people really ask some stupid-ass questions. I agree, dude.

They are dumb. But, yeah. All right, you got another chance then. Does Santa have a, well, we said child. Let me try son. Son. S-O-N, yeah. Oh, nice.

2000, a ninth, ninth answer. All right. I don't know where that came from. Does Santa have a 3D printer? 3D printer. We'll just get this thing over with. Printer. Yeah, 4X.

So, let's see what you got. Oh, darned. You missed birthday, phone number. I thought I said birthday. Oh, I did say birthday. Oh, no, you got that one right. I'm sorry. Brother is number one you missed.

Brother. Oh, because people have been seeing Fred Claus and assuming. Exactly. So you got brother, you got phone number. You got, that makes sense. Kids want to call Santa. Pilots license, wife, phone, pipe, like for smoking. You got son.

And then the final one was middle name. Oh, interesting. Like Santa, Fenn, Kla. and claws. I was going to say the same thing. It's a cool little deal. So it's a fun game to pay. And they also have something on here called feudal, which I have a feeling is some kind of wordal takeoff. Oh, sure. I haven't played with it. But chat and everyone at home again, that's Googlefude.com. And it was such a nice little fun surprise. It's a fun game. It reminded me, it reminded me of what you do on Wednesday just a little bit. Not a little bit. Yeah. It's a lot bigger. user base than what we do for tadpooly feud and because of that it's so much harder yeah it's a little tricky um okay we are going to do uh i think we had time for a news story let's go ahead and do it totally do here we go it's time for the news and it's brought to you by happy birthday one day late to friend geek grill and a tp contestant the gen you know uh uh september let me know about this a little too well

She let me know about it right before the show yesterday. I said, oh, I'll make sure when I do the song dedication at the end that I say happy birthday to her. And I completely forgot. So the Jen, we love you. We cannot wait to see you in April at TMS Vegas 2023. Yeah, and you live there now. So it's a guarantee we're going to see her. And I need to still get, I've got, I need to get in touch with a couple places for things that we've done before that I think we'll want to do again, i.e. video game competition.

Oh, that was fun. I would do that again. So much fun. And then some new things that we've got on deck for this year. Yeah, yeah. No, that's great. I hope we do that arcade thing again. I love that. We will.

I mean, that's a, we don't even have to do anything to do that. We don't have to say, oh, let me call the place and see if they'll have us. Yeah, they'll have us. But I'll see if we can maybe do a, like, a group rate. Like, you know, if I bring 75 of us or something, can we get some sort of deal. Some, seems like you get a break out of that. For sure. Uh, all right. Let's do this new story. This is a quick one. Uh, the, the oldest living cat has been discovered by Guinness World Records. This is a new one. Her name is flossie. She probably has bad teeth, just ironically, you know.

this is a 26-year-old cat Wow That is older than my middle daughter Which tells you something I don't know what it tells you No kidding This cat was born in 1995 A British-born flossie has set a new record

For the world's oldest living cat The cat has a number of owners during her lifetime It currently resides in southeast London Her new owner says she's kind of funny Like she's had a bunch of different owners Yeah I don't know what that means I just get past around I guess she just outlives the people who've had her

and like a lot of old It's just passed from old person to old person Yeah maybe that's the trick to its longevity I don't know It says here that Let's see The new owner says she's remarkably in good shape For her advanced years

Guinness World Records And the charity cat's protection of confirmed Flossy is indeed The world's oldest living cat She was handed over to the charity At age 26 when her owner couldn't Look after her anymore Probably another old person

Quote we were flabbergasted When Vet Records showed Flossy To be nearly 27 says Naomi Rosling, co-ordinator of the Kent branch of Cats Protection. That sounds British as hell that place. It totally does. Actually, well, my dad was born in Kent, but... Oh, I didn't know that. That's cool.

Yeah, but I'm trying to think of what city it was, because it wasn't the one you mentioned. Was that city disguised as Kent, but really... It's right. It was actually Super City. If you put glasses on it, it was just Kent. Yeah, you can never tell. You just glasses, and it's like, who's that guy? That's right.

Yeah. Uh, let's see here. Uh, she is the oldest cat. Uh, we have ever met at least 120 years old in human years. Uh, and in such good shape for her age with someone who doesn't, uh, sorry, with someone who does what's best for me when I read it meet it most, I shall be very happy. Yeah. So there's that.

Isn't it, wouldn't she be 120 in cat years? In human years, she's 27. She's the same age. Oh, right. Yes. That's the other way. Right. Right.

Right? You say, well, how old are you in... You say, in dog years. How old is that in dog years? You don't say, how old is that in dog years? You don't say, how old is that in human years? Yeah, in human years, you'd say exactly how many years it is. Right. This is not good. Euro news. What's funny is they say, they say 27, or 120 in cat years in the caption, and then 120 in human years in the text. Yeah, I find this annoying.

Now that we've, now that you pointed out. A very sweet cat, and probably has so many health problems. Nobody wants to come over and take care of. of it. No, why would you? I mean, they say he's in good shape, but that can, that could turn in a heartbeat. You know, that's old. That's like somebody being 98 and going, I can't believe what great shape he's in. Don't say that too loud. He's going to die. Oh, God, I know. Do we, did we, are we doing a potential TMS kill by talking about Flossie on the show today? Oh, shit. I didn't even think about it. You know what we never, we didn't, we never mentioned, uh, Kirstie Allie. Yeah, we never talked

We never, fortunately, we never mentioned Christialli. It's because of the way we, we never brought her up until after she passed away. Yeah, I feel like the only time she's ever really come up on any shows or like it would have been like Wrath of Con, Star Trek, yeah, or something. But, yeah, she passed away at the age of 71. I mean, we talked about cheers a lot on this show back in the, back in the day. That's true. I feel like I focused, I'm more of a pre. A Shelley Long.

Yeah, more of a Shelley Long era, been a person. Sure. I like it all, whatever, it's fine. I like it all, yeah. I feel like Sam, Sam's character went in directions that kind of rubbed me wrong when she left. I don't know. Well, at first off, he became a huge, like, he went back into alcoholism, like, right when she showed up because he didn't own the bar anymore. Yeah.

And then, you know what, that's what it was? He didn't own the bar anymore, and that bugged me. I didn't like that. It bugged me, too. I didn't like that. There was a whole season of him not owning the bar, and it was Mr. It was what's his face. that guy who's like this the British guy, yes exactly

not Kyle McLaughlin but could be Kyle McLaughlin's Something court? Found court Oh yes something court Mr. Miles Court. Oh Robin Masters No that's not it is it That was I think that is

I think it was Robin Masters I thought somebody was somebody court I thought so too There's somebody Pumba chat room you're killing me Another owner I think that must have been Something kill you court or or yeah no right master right robin masters is from the that's from higgins's guy he works

for it that's from magnum p i robin masters really yeah that's the owner of the place and that's secretly pays okay well that he explains why i've never heard of it no now i got to find it he was in love with who was that guy's name i got to find it it's gonna bug me robin colcourt there we go so it was robin That's Robin. And then Colcourt. Okay. That was painful. All right.

Well, on that note, we're taking a break. Somebody. One of the people, one of the vendors that I support on Patreon that does 3D prints and, well, I can't show it because there's reasons, but I can't show it. But anyway, did a couple models that I've printed, did that magneto one that I sent you. Oh, yeah. has also done a new Charles Xavier one, and he's done two different faces, one that's more based on, like, the comic book look of Professor X,

and then another one that's based on Patrick Stewart, who, as he calls, is Patrick Stewart. Stewart, yes. Yeah, he needs to fix that typo. He needs to definitely fix that typo. You should write him. He's not, English is not his first language, this designer, I don't think. You should send him in the message that says,

it's a typo. It's a typo. I'm not going to worry about it, I'm sure. I don't want to be the 18th. person, the 1800th person to do it. Yeah, but you'd be the only one that does it in, in putty voice. You do it in putty voice.

Yes. Yeah, in putty voice, yes. Yeah, that'd be that to make it special. Yeah, yeah, it's a time. Page 14. Yeah, that's a typo. I think he says, but he says, he doesn't say it, right?

We figured it out. It was something else. Yeah, we like ours better. We wrote that line better. Yeah, our Mandela effect is strong. All right, play us a song. We got something there, don't we? Sure, it's about time we play a Christmas song on the show in Indian

the middle. I mean, we played a couple. I think we played last Christmas last week, and did not break wham again for people. But how about any an original and indie? This one performed by a band called Corvair, who I've featured on the show before. This is

exclusively available on Corvair's band camp site, so you can't buy it on iTunes or Amazon, anything like that. The, Brian and Heather, the two people that make up, Corvair, it's a duet or duo, and they are both, as they call it, Christmas crazy, so they wanted to create one, to create their own Christmas song, as they do every year. Here is I Believe in Christmas by

Just for a second. Let me turn this chicken off. The morning stream. I'll shove that pad up your ass and turn you into a popsicle. Jeez. It's pretty rough. A little violent imagery there, Fletcher. Jeez, Louise, man.

Hey, remind me who that music was, again. That was a man called Corvair and a brand new for this year, Christmas song called I Believe in Christmas. Ah, very nice. You know what, I had never, I was going to say, I never had heard the Smashing Pumpkin's Christmas song until that holiday special. Oh, yeah, until the Guardians thing.

Yeah, I feel like it's been around for a while. And you recognized Billy Corgan's voice immediately. Oh, yeah, immediately. I did too. And so first I thought it was this new. And then I looked around. I'm like, no,

this is like from one of those old, like charity albums where all the artists to do it together or whatever. I forgot what those are called. Yeah, like the, maybe this Christmas and,

Christmas and Hollis was on there. The one of the first year was, yeah, it always has the Keith Herring art on the cover. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that is Keith Herring.

That's exactly the one. That is exactly it. I think this was one of those like in the 90s. Yeah, like a volume five or six or something. It's a cool song. It is. It is. It's a rad Christmas song.

But I, I forgot it existed. All right. Let's get Bill here. Bill. Oh, I need to ask him a question, too. Oh, well, then don't forget. I won't forget.

Okay. In fact, you know what? We'll make it the first thing that happens here. Yeah, let's make it the first thing. I think it's a great idea. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Bill Durand joining us all the way from punish props.com, where he makes rad stuff.

And he comes on the show and we talk about it. We also try to inspire you guys to make your own rad, cool stuff. Bill, welcome back to the show. Good morning, friends. Hello. I hope your cold is gone and you're feeling better. You were gone last week and we hope you're better today. You sound great.

Yeah, feeling a lot better. Had a head cold went through the family. We went to Thanksgiving and got sick at Thanksgiving. Not COVID. No, no. Just a good old-fashioned cold. That's what I got in 2020 or 2021. I guess 2021 a year ago I got that air infection from the Thanksgiving get together.

It's always that thing. Oh, yeah. It's family. Stupid family. family. Well, anyway, Bill's here. Now, before we do anything else, Brian had a question. Brian, you want to ask this? I have a question for you. So, a while back, you created a really cool, clear resin model that you painted over most of it. It was a squirrel with a glowing center for a game you like. Is that game inscription?

Yes. And that just came out on the Apple Best Game of the Year award, so I picked it up. I haven't played it yet, but it's on the Mac now. and I didn't think it was before but I saw the artwork and I'm like this looks like the squirrel thing that the bill... That's totally it and it was on Macs but through Steam. Prior to

the Apple store holding it. I want it on iPads where I want it. Yeah. That'd be pretty cool, yeah. There's no reason that couldn't be on a tablet. I would sit and play that all night. I don't know why that's not true yet, but yeah, that game's great. Yeah, that's a good one. You're going to have fun with that. Oh, I can't wait. There's a lot to discover in that game.

Yeah. Inscriptions right, man. It's such a cool. I don't know. I've got to get back in there. You're reminding me all the games that I don't have time to play. I've done that. Yeah, for sure. I have a giant list of those games, and then instead of playing them,

I started up a new game of Satisfactory. So that's my life. Nothing wrong with that. I had started an Astroner game because I wanted to try the rail stuff. Oh, I got to play that again. And I got so far as to like going to, you know, like four or five of the different planets and getting the things I need. and I came back and I'm like, man, I don't want to get sucked into this damn thing again.

So I never even built the rail stuff, but that stuff is still still sitting there ready for me to add. Yeah, I haven't tried that. I haven't tried it either. I'll have to load that up next, I guess. That's a cool game. Nothing wrong with Astraneer, nothing at all. Well, Bill, oh, and also before we dive in, Brian, you wanted to show off your progress on the thing. Yeah, let's do this.

So after 60 hours of printing. Wow. That's a long print. finally finished. Look at that. It's a big red, uh, red,

um, magneto helmet. It's actually magenta. Oh, it's so cool. Because I had a lot of magenta, I had a full roll of magenta filament and I didn't, uh,

yeah, well, I mean, it's going to get completely covered up by wood putty and, uh, filler and primer and that sort of thing. So color, color really doesn't matter.

A little bit of, um, kookiness on the back here where it was, uh, where the plate adhesion was. You just say that's where, Just say that's where Colossus punched him a few times. Yeah, there you go.

Well, when I sand this and wood fill it, you won't even see this anyway. Does this fit on your head? It looks like it fits. It does. Let me see this. Take that off. Let's do it. Oh, my Lord, watch this.

Oh, dude, what? Shut up. That's amazing. Yeah, it's really good. Yeah, that's strong, dude. He can't hear his shut. That's really great. I want, Brian, when you do, when you do, when you,

You do your selfie today? Yeah. It's like it's a gimme that this is going to be today's selfie. That looks really great. Putting a helmet on for the first time, it's always a good feeling. It is. Well, it is if it fits, right? Right.

Damn it, I made it just a little too small. But this, I love the Cobra Max because, I mean, number one, look how smooth, everywhere except for where the supports were on the back. This thing is beautiful. There are layer lines. Sure. But it is smooth. It's not going to take.

a ton of priming to make it look beautiful. And it's all in one go as opposed to having to glue parts together and that sort of thing. I'm currently printing the thing that goes on the front, but I'm trying to decide if I even want it. So I might, so one of the guys that I follow, I know it's somebody you know as well. Uncle Jesse printed one of these, actually printed the same model that this one is. And he drilled and used put in magnets up here so that he could take off the. the little... Yeah, that seems appropriate.

Doesn't it, right? Yeah, then I can actually stick like forks and stuff to it too and it'd be kind of funny. That'd be even better. Yeah, yeah, why not? One single Wolverine claw. Yeah, exactly. Oh, I love that idea.

Yeah, yeah, you almost want to do two of these. One that you can kind of have is like a master one and then another one that's like the jokey one with all the metal shit stuck to it. Well, but see if it's magnetic, I can just 3D print other magnetic things like like Cyclops's visor and have it stuck to that. Yeah. I love that. All right. Well, nicely done. Bill, now we've had all this preview. What are you working on? What do you got going? Yeah. So the holidays are upon us where you're probably looking for ideas to get something for the maker in your life.

Or you're a maker and you're looking what to ask for. And I've got a good list of stuff here. So when you're holiday shopping for the maker in your life or if anyone is buying stuff for me, here's a good list. All right. Really good things. Okay. So one of the great things to get for people who make stuff are consumables. There are lots of stuff in the shop that end up getting used up by their very nature. And people always need more of them. So these are things like drill bits.

Yes, drill bits are consumable. Yeah, they are. If you ever tried to drill a hole through something that's hardened steel, you'll realize that those drill bits are consumable. Are they always a standard set when you go by like that little rollout thing? that's got every size? I mean, is that kind of this, this, you know? Yeah, there's a pretty standard set of tools from like 1.16th inch to half inch

in a set of like 20 bits. That's a good one to get because it's got a good range. Or the metric version, obviously. Yeah. And it is never bad to have too many drill bits. I'm here to tell you, you will never go, ah, darn, I have too many drill bits. You'll be happy you have extra.

How much do you go through those? Do you feel like you break them on the regular? They get dull from years of abuse and then I throw them away. Occasionally I'll snap one, but it happens. It really does. For me, I love having drill bits in every corner of the shop, so I don't have to go looking for them. Nice. Drill bits are good.

Things like rubber gloves, if your friends are working with resin 3D prints, rubber gloves are really good. Or sandpaper for that helmet of yours, Brian? Yep. You guys, I just found the most. I go through so much sandpaper. I'm going to go through a ton of it on this one, too. You sure will. I just found an amazing good.

fun Amazon so they have their new releases in drill bits specifically this category and it's miles and miles of drill bit products like tons of it except the very second Taylor on DVD the very second yeah I wish it was even that close the second item on here is

Funko Pop Marvel She Hulk it's got nothing to do nothing to do with drill bits in your power drill there see if she that is the dumbest thing I've ever seen anyway nice job Amazon some other fun consumables like a cutting mat or sharpies or marker

refills, like if your friend does, has copic markers, getting refills for those are really good. Yeah. Or sketchbooks. And then, of course, 3D printer filament or resin. Yeah. If someone's doing a lot of printing, they need their filament or resin, but also they need 3D files. So if you can maybe get

them a subscription to someone's Kickstarter or Patreon. Patreon. Patreon. That's a really good one. Yeah. Where do you get your resin and filament, Brian? I order those on Amazon. Um, filament, I pretty much stick to either hatchbox or, I've been having great luck with overture. It's a little bit cheaper.

Um, I'm, I miss Spider Maker. I don't know what happened to Spider Maker, but they had the best filament I'd ever used. And like, you wouldn't get layer lines. They had great matte colors because I don't like stuff super shiny, um, if I don't want it to be shiny anyway. Uh, but I don't know what happened to Spider Maker. And then resin, I also get on Amazon. I always get the, um, um,

I think it's the elegue. Is it any cubic? Not that? Let me see. I can take a look at my previous order. We've been using Sorriatech for our resin. Okay. How is that?

Yeah. Smokey fast? Yeah. Smoky fast is what we've been using. Is that a transparent? Yeah, it looks really cool. Sorrieta tech. Yeah.

If you got, okay, let me ask you guys a question while you're looking at up, if you get transparent resin versus, say, like, a gray or whatever, which I see the most common here, it looks like it's always gray or blue or some sort of light blue. What is easier to paint on in those cases? Or is it just depend, like, if you're looking for a translucent. It doesn't really matter. Yeah, Z prime, I mean, I prime everything that I paint anyway. So it can be, I could, you know, whatever the cheapest resin is is probably the best thing to buy.

I'm not seeing, oh, S-I-R-A-A, okay. Okay. Here's a dumb question, or maybe not. Do you have like a 4K or 8-K resin printer? Yeah, we have the mono-X, which is 4K, and we have the mono X 6K as well. Do you buy specific resin that is supposed to be good with 4K? No. No, it just gives that psoritex stuff, and it works awesome.

There we go. The ELEGU 3D printer resin, you know, it's like, it's like $20 a bottle or something. But my next purchase will be some Sorriotech. And you get, are you told me the one that you get? The fast. The fast. ABS-like. Maybe?

I'm not quite sure. I can send you a look. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I'm just curious. A few more things here when you're doing your shopping, knowledge is one of the best things you can buy for someone and not just because I sell books. But here are some books. you could buy.

Art books are always a great idea if a friend has a favorite game or movie or TV show. Look for those technique books are amazing like my Thome Smith book available Pushpops.com. But also weird specific topics. We just got a book on ancient locks

and keys throughout the ages or books on swords and armor if your friend does cosplay and armor making. Oh my gosh. There's so many things like I just found excuse me complete pottery techniques and oh yeah right here's another one photography i have a lot of photography books i like the advanced numerology techniques oh that's cool yeah i've always seen the art stuff obviously it's everywhere but i didn't realize they made so many varieties of like here's a

technique for this there's probably one for your 3d printer you guys are talking about if i had to guess oh there are 3d printing books out there absolutely yeah yeah that's cool another good thing to look for online classes or subscriptions so there's websites like skill share or math You could get your friend a year of that Or other types of video courses you can find online Like our Fusion 360 course Or you could get your friend an in-person class So look for colleges or other instructors near you

That offer in-person classes Some examples would be like photography Or blacksmithing or welding These are hands-on things you'd really want to go do with a professional And you'd probably be surprised to find locals near you that are actually offering these things as classes. I really want, there's a photographer named Trey Rackcliffe that I follow, and I would love to take one of his photography classes in New Zealand.

They're very expensive, and I want to do it so bad. So is this you saying that so someone will gift you? I'm just putting this out into the universe. I'm just letting the universe know. Nothing wrong with that. Knowledge is power. I get it. Yeah.

That's cool. And then, of course, tools. Now, it's hard to just get the right tool for something. You've got to know what they use. But a couple of good things to keep an eye out for. A better version of a tool that they use all the time. So if your friend bought a really cheap tool and they use it all the time, you could get them a nicer version of it.

Or something that's specific to their field. Frequently, someone will use a generic tool to accomplish a specific task, and there is a more specific tool for that task. Or a copy of a tool that they use all the time. I mentioned I put drill bits ever. everywhere. I also have digital calipers by my computer upstairs, by my computer and the C&C machine downstairs, but one by my main workbench and another one by my lathe. So I have four dial calipers around my shop. And it's just so I don't have to go find one when I need

it. So your friend might want a second copy of something. Sure. Yeah. Very cool. There you go. There's my giant list of stuff to look out for when you're shopping for your maker friends. Your maker friends are everywhere. Just dig in and get them something cool. You're giving me some ideas here. This is great. You always come to the show with a little extra something. Do you got that today?

I do. Our friends over at Tesson are doing their favorite things. I'm going to send you a link to the one that Jen Shachter did. Jen's a wizard. She's awesome. But look on the Tessa website for the coming days. More ideas. So every year we film ourselves.

I'll have a video up there soon. home ourselves talking about our favorite things from the year and it's a lot of really good ideas of stuff to buy for your friends or for yourself very nice so you're doing one of these that's awesome yeah that'll be up i'm not sure when it's going up but i filmed that last week very nice uh i always look forward to seeing and your face shows up on the tested site which i subscribe to as well uh very nice do so go check it out tested channel of course punish props dot com and the punish props youtube channel must be on your subscription list why aren't they well I can't answer that for you, but you've got to go do it now if you haven't already. And many of you are, I'm sure. Do it now. Bill, we'll see you again before the holiday. Between now and then, I hope somebody heard your plea for a rad thing you want.

And we'll talk about him more next week. Have a great one. Bye-bye. I almost made him owner of the group instead of kicking him off the column. Promoted to Leader. Yeah, that would have been weird. I'm glad I didn't do it. Oops.

Man, that helmet's rad. Yeah. It's killer. I'm so excited. And I'm with you on whether you want the little extra piece or not. I kind of feel like it stands on its own without it. It does. I guess you're printing it so you can see.

I'm printing it. Yeah, it's currently. That one actually is currently printing. And like I said, if I put magnets in there, then not only do I have the choice of putting it on or not putting it on, but then I do have the option of putting on other funny things to, you know, like, you know, he's overly magnetized and he's picking up thumbtacks and paper clips and stuff. I love that. I love that. I think that's a great idea.

Yeah, when I'm not wearing it, it can actually just be a little office supply holder for me and like paper clips. Yeah, there's a little stapler on the side or whatever. Right. I guess you'd have to have some bigger magnets, but still, it's very cool. You know, when I was looking, by the way, because I wanted to kind of take a look at the different magneto helmets and colors and things like that before I start painting this thing. Um, I'd forgotten how, like, how form fitting the different magneto helmets have been to, like, Fast Bender and McKellen. Oh, big time, yeah. Almost like, almost uncomfortably looking so.

Yeah, they squeeze their heads in there, it feels like. Yeah. Why is that? Why did they go that route? Do you wonder? I don't know. I don't know. But, yeah, let's see if I can copy this image if it's not going to give me a massive link.

That's not too bad. I feel like we haven't seen Fastbender in a while. You know what? Yeah, you haven't. Check on Fastbender. Yeah, someone sees he's all right. I feel like he hasn't been doing a lot of work. Okay, there it is.

I've found one. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure, because it fans out or it kind of waves out at the bottom so he can get his head in there, but it's still seems high. That's the question is, does it make it difficult? But then you've got, oh, here's a great, actually, this is a great link right here, a great visual. All right. copy image paste I want me to put it in our discord too

I can do it either one yeah either one's fine let's see I haven't already oh my connection is not private hold on what yes I'm totally going to be putting a padding in there I have to because this

this thing on my you know on my bald head hurts like hell but notice that none of the McKellen helmets have the the ornament but

like the days of future past Magneto Helmet has it it's kind of incorporated into design on a couple of the other ones yeah their captain they're Steve Rogers like where they it's built in devolves over yeah

yeah I think well except the one then the purple he's got a it's sticking out there pretty good it's sticking out really far on the purple and that's kind of my least favorite of those I think my favorite of his is the days of future past or possibly this first class the final what's our first class is what i meant but what's the final one down here

in the bottom right corner what's that yeah i don't know i don't know if those i like that one if those go i think they do go yeah there we go so they do uh line up with the pole so it's obviously the in mckellan version the first class silver one which i kind of like the first class red and purple which i don't like the days of future past which is almost like that pitted metal um the apocalypse which is the bottom center and then the dark phoenix helmet which is in the bottom right okay dark phoenix i think is the one i like even though that movie so bad yeah yeah um the mckellan one watch uh watch uh watch uh new mutants by the way oh yeah i need to do that still um the mckellan one hasn't aged well i don't think it's weird yeah i don't know what i don't know why too

roundy or two something two exactly too bulbous on the uh on the outside yeah i don't love it uh well All right, there you go. A tighter look at the world of Magneto and his many friends. Let's... Dr. Calhoun. More like new Mettins. Matins. Will you see what you did, Dr. Calhoun?

Yeah, I think it's... It is low bar, but it's easily better than the last four X-Men movies. I think, for me, it goes X2, first class. New Mutants, Days of Future Past. Where do you put one? Oh, you put the first one after Days of Future Past. I put the first one after. I really like Days of Future Past.

And there's the two different versions. There's the Rogue, the Rogue cut where Rogue sends Wolverine back in time. But then there's also the Kitty Pride, the original theatrical lease where it's Kitty Pride. Yeah. Where do you put the third one? How far down the list is that? Like, I think at the very bottom. Well, no, Dark Phoenix, it's high for.

X-Men 3 and those two can hang out together because they belong together. They can hang out together because they both really effed up one of the greatest storylines and comics. Yeah, what a bummer, man. Yeah. I hope they hurry up and Marvel gets their shit going with that. I want to see what they do. Okay, that's it. We're going to do, oh, I got a couple of texts here to read real quick.

They are fun times. Hold on a second. Here it is. All right, we got one from Craig, who says, Morning, Scott and Brian. Two quick questions. Number one, Brian keeps talking about going to newspapers and set up their computers. Why did he need to go back home or sorry, need to go back more than once? So what's the answer to that for?

To install for, like, when the retail ad department would take over the classified ad or get more people from the classified ad department, you saw a rise in retail advertising and then it dropped in classified. so they'd move people over, and so I'd need to go and install the software on all their computers. Plus, sometimes the trainers would just go out and do training in a training lab at the facility and not use the employee laptops that we've already installed things on. Oh, gotcha. Yeah, so I'd go back there and just install the training lab.

And then also be there to support the trainer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is all follow-up stuff, too. It's all follow-up stuff. Yeah, their clients, their customers. I think I went to the Seattle Times more than any other newspaper, and I probably went there four or five times, five or six times probably. You had to go to that airport every time. C-TAC, yeah, yeah. It's like a barren wasteland in there.

It didn't used to be as bad as it is, but yeah. It's just gross now. They need to redo it. Yeah, just saying. They do. You know what? It's all like international, same problem. And they did.

They redid it. So now we got a new one. So now it's your turn, Seattle. Let's see what you got. I don't think I've flown into the C-TAC in the last 15. years. I think the last time Tristan was about 10, and we went on a drive down the Pacific Coast highway from

Seattle all the way down to Los Angeles. Oh, nice. Which was incredible. Yeah, that's a cool run there. His second question, what 3D printer does Brian recommend to get a hobbyist that would be a step above beginner, so they don't need to upgrade too soon? Yeah.

What would you say there? I've been loving any cubic, so I've got the any cubic cobra max, and the support that I've gotten from any cubic, because I broke off, I printed a fan shroud, which basically redirects the air from the fans right to the nozzle, so that

as it's laying down a line of filament, it immediately hardens. Oh, nice. It immediately Marsha Gaye hardens. So, you, you know, as I was building that thing, it meant I had to take off the printhead. And as I was doing that,

I broke off one of the pins that some of the things plug into, to. As a matter of fact, one of the fans plugs into, I broke off one of the pins. And I said, you know, I wrote them an email, said, hey, I bought this thing a month ago. I broke off one of the pins. Tell me how much it will cost to read, because I had to rebuy the whole circuit board that had all of those connections on it. And they're like, no, we want you to be happy and satisfied with your purchase. We are sending one to you. You'll have it

a couple of weeks because it does come from China they didn't make me pay for it they paid for shipping they paid for the part even though I completely broke it fest up I broke it so I would recommend any of the

any cubic ones that you can get the cobra regular is really good the cobra max is what I have and it's big enough obviously to do giant helmets but they're by all accounts there are other 3D printers or really, really good.

All right. Well, there you go. Some recommendations for you. And Dice Tomato asks, which SLA printer do I have? And I have a frozen Sonic Mighty 4K. So it's the large format Sonic so that I can print ginormous magnetos. Apparently I have a magneto fetish, but I've shown this guy off before. Like basically, that's one piece on the frozen Sonic Mighty.

Sonic Mighty sounds like a video game from Sega and then the Frozen is the DLC and 4K is what you view it in. So there you go. So I think as I do my helmet, I think I would also use the same spray paint on this guy too. There you go. That one's awesome. I really like that one. Yeah. Yeah, that came out so clean and beautiful.

Very, very nice. here's one more quick text from Alan or sorry Adrian who says dear stooping and Bricker I like that that's good yeah except you're a dirty doctor man I'm a sleaze ball horn dog doctor that takes advantage of his patients yeah and I'm an overly confident captain who barely does anything on the ship gopher please report to my office gopher you need to he's just always I you know what I remember stubing being different too these all this stuff is different now. Julie, will you please report to my office?

Are you... Who's the latest man that's proposed to you, Julie? That's right, Julie. Am I having dinner with a Wilsons tonight in the main deck dinner hall? It's lame. Exactly. Anyway, he says, I do not fully understand, neither take plums nor leave plums. Can you please explain, thanks, Adrian.

Yes, very simple. And I'm not going to do the whole thing as if it's, you know, I've never said it before. But basically, it's a riddle, and the riddle goes like this. you're walking down a single path in the middle of that path is a tree. There are plums on the tree. It's a plum tree. There are plums on the tree and you neither take plums nor leave plums. How is that possible?

That's the question. And the answer is when people finally get around to it or I have to give them the answer is there are two plums. So you took a plum and left a plum. And the reason it works is because you say you neither took plums nor left plums. It's plural. So you took a plum and left a plum. that's how the riddle works. That's the whole thing.

That's the entire thing. And the day on the show that you did it, you read it in such a way that I don't think you even read it. You neither took plum, no plum. Like, you would stumble a little bit in just the delivery of it. And I said, well, you know, you just ignored the tree. And then you neither took her. Yeah, no.

It's actually, and that kind of works actually still. Even if I read it right. But, yes. And then people always say, oh, wait, how's that possible? well there are plums on the tree you always have to tell people and then they have to get their head around it you know if carter is ever looking for a a tMS thing to animate i think the take plums leave plums discussion yeah would be would be perfect that would be a good one to do absolutely and also i like this title submission just now someone uh claire submitted plumsplaining i like that i wish icor is again with the plums would be a title because i do like that again with the plums with the plums. Maybe we'll split them. One will read. One will put in. Who knows? There you go. Anyway, thank you both for your text.

Amazing, isn't it? I do. And this one goes out to our fearless chat room leader. I'd say the leader of the tadpole. She's a queen of the Bannon Kick, and her name is Jeannie. She says, greetings to my favorite hosts of anything ever. I've been at TMS Live since you start in January 2010, with the result that I'm out of birthday requests.

So true. So pick me something, Cover Man. I like Skah, Zidico, Dixieland, and Calypso. Try that combo, smiley face, sign Jeannie. I didn't know Jeannie like Skah. Right? That's amazing. I don't know why.

I just wouldn't have applied that to her. That's freaking great. Well, it's a good thing she does because we play a lot of it here. What we don't play a lot of is Zytoco. You hear that way down in the Louisiana Bayou and it's always been a favorite of mine. I just really don't get around to playing very much of it. Until today, we got a good one coming up. It is a cover of Aerosmith's Walk This Way.

There's a little bit of scone here, too, so you do get a combo, Jeannie. You get Walk This Way by Aerosmith covered by. Zidicosis from their album Zydeco All Night from 2008. Here is, Walk This Way. Oh, Backstruck of Love, I'm holy tithe, until I talk to you, dead and you say, you say you ain't seen nothing to see you down.
