Board games with hockey-loving bastard Dan and more on this episode of the morning stream. Hello, I'm John waters, and I'm supposed to announce there is no smoking in this theater, which I think is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard of in my life.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Hello. Good morning. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, October 24th, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Ibit. Hello. Hello. Hello. Oh, Brian. I'm here. Yeah, go ahead. I do like the, uh, when people take songs and they have repeating, just basically repeat the same lyric like they use, uh, tools to extract the vocals. And, uh, there was a, there was a, that was a, that was a, mashmouth that just went somebody once told me somebody once told me somebody once told me it's a great use of technology i think you know it is i think so yeah so it uh if you could use it use it for good just like that i agree it's great power responsibility all that stuff oh did you pick did you pick up spider man or no what'd you end up i did i've been loving it yeah when i get when i get a chance
Starting point is 00:02:54 to play it i've been loving it i need to uh grab that still yeah i was on the fence all weekend because I was like, I don't want that or Mario? I don't know. I only have time for one, and then I didn't pick either, and then I played something else. So I don't know what I'm going to do. I played a little Mario as well, and it is just your straight-up good Mario game.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Like, it's something that we haven't had since, God, what was the last one? New Super Mario Brothers? Yeah, the one that's on the Switch is a port of the Wii U game anyway, So even that was sort of already a known quantity before we got it. So I think the last 2D, well, 2.5D Mario that we got would have been that. And it was on the Wii U that we got it.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And the last 3D proper Mario was Odyssey and it's been years now. That was like 2017, 2018. So it's time. It's time for, you know, the old plumber to get his ass out there and get some shit done. Exactly. Yeah, we had whatever it was on mobile too. the app. Oh, that dumb thing.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I hated that guy. I know that's for some people. I couldn't do it. I mean, it's not even like, the gameplay's not even a problem. I just am like, well, this isn't how you play Mario. You don't just auto run. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah. It's freaking weird. Yeah, it's Temple Run with Mario, basically. Yeah, not my favorite thing in the world. But, hey, what are you going to do? I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to talk about one of Brian's recommendations that I finally saw. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I saw Tick, tick, boom last night, or yesterday. Yeah, cool. That movie is great. It's a little different than I expected, although I don't know why I expect it different. It's about a legendary life cut short. Jonathan Larson, who created rent. Yeah, and I guess this Tick-Tick Boom is also a play. More autobiographical, but not fully autobiographical.
Starting point is 00:04:53 No, it's got its, what do you call it? It's a limited. It's an adaptation. Yeah, I mean, it's. it's yeah i try to think of the right word because it wasn't like he was hiding and he was like all right i'm going to take some stuff from my life and put it into this but not make it fully autobiographical yeah and they and this so it's andrew garfield and you know we talked about it on the recommendals where you recommended it but it's uh very good and i didn't i don't know why but
Starting point is 00:05:20 in my head i had dropped out the piece of information that was that lin manuel miranda directed it um i didn't know that but that's the perfect guy to have it because this dude's you know he's basically a modern day version of these people him and sonheim and all these other guys what a great combination too like uh hamilton and rent rentalton hamelrant hamilton hamilton hamilton i'm put my hamilton is too high um but yeah ask a doctor if hamilton is right for you it's great he was robbed of any he should have gotten an oscar uh right i mean how blown away by like oh my god he can sing And he sounds this good?
Starting point is 00:06:01 He was really good. And it was an amazing, all of it. It was just an incredible performance for him. And I'm used to him being a little more subdued. And this was just a whole different view of him. It was really good. But I realized about 10 minutes into this thing that my wife would not like it. So I tested it.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Because she hates show tunes. She hates musicals. Oh, really musicals. Not a musical person. Doesn't like that stuff. Although she did like Hamilton. So I thought, well, there's a chance. Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And I don't know. what the difference was, I think, because Hamilton, Hamilton had, you know how it just kind of smashed genres? It was like, there's rap in this thing and there's like, you know, it's, and they've taken it off from this black perspective, and it's just a different enough thing that I think that appealed to her. But this, usually it's like, you know, I don't know, I'm trying to think of a, of a, you know, phantom of the opera, that kind of shit. It's a little bit more operatic, a little bit more. Yeah, she doesn't like that stuff. So, uh, pulled her in real quick on this one. And
Starting point is 00:07:00 pulled her out. And she heard, she got to the part where it was an early song, trying to remember which performance it was, but it was an early thing where they were all singing. And she went, yeah, I can't do this. She walked out. Is it the one when they're all singing the apartment or the one where they're all singing in the diner?
Starting point is 00:07:18 I think it was the party in the, in the apartment. I think that was it. Oh, see, I love that because that's the 30-90 and that's such a that, of all the songs from the soundtrack, that's the one that I actually listen to more than listening to the full soundtrack yeah it's really good it's great i mean but but it is definitely no it's just definitely square it's squarely aimed at that it's that that if you like rent kind of thing yeah yeah there's a very specific sound to it which is this guy right i mean he's yeah he's the dude and
Starting point is 00:07:50 he died tragically of an aneurism at 35 it's like too young ridiculous uh just as things were about to explode for him too it's like what 96 or something something this happened. Um, I really liked it. So double recommendation now after a year of not seeing it. Uh, who knows, uh, look, you guys, this is one step closer to parasite. That's how you have to look at this. Is it though? I mean, it's closer only in the way that, that, um, if we're looking at a giant list of every movie ever created, anytime you cross one off that list, we get one closer to parasite. Yeah. I mean, one, one of your recommendations closer, right? Because you, You recommended Parasite.
Starting point is 00:08:31 You recommended this. This is one more down. I've yet to be super let down by a Brian recommendation. They've all been great. So I have no doubt that I'll get to Parasite and go, oh, this was as good as he said. I'm so glad I finally saw it. But there's also part of me.
Starting point is 00:08:46 God, I hope so because I worry that it's going to be a little bit of a letdown. Like it's going to be, oh, you know, all right, Brian. It was okay. Well, it's not so much that we're at the stage that it's overhyped, because I don't feel like you've overhyped it. All you've done is say, oh, you should see it. It's good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:02 And all I've done is say, I haven't seen it yet, right? So it's like, there's not like, it's not like every day we're going, oh, that movie. Oh, blah, blah, blah. It's not like you've done that. So I think you're safe. I think I'm in, I have full, I have full confidence that I'll watch it and the, the, you know, the quality of it will wash over me. The joy will wash over it. Let's hope.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I'm hoping. Like a nice warm bath, you know, it'll be fine. So who knows when we'll get there. But anyway, that's my big verdict on Tick, Tick, Boom, Boom, or Tick, Tick, Boom. There's no double booms, only one boom. It's a bomb reference. You'll get it when you watch the movie.
Starting point is 00:09:39 And it's very good. Really, really good. Highly, highly recommend. Also, I think Miranda ought to direct some more stuff. I think he's got chops for it. I agree. Did you ever see his, like, the West Side Story remake from a couple years ago? No, this Bilberg one.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yeah. Yeah, still haven't seen. I saw part of it on the ship, on the cruise. and then Kim got really motion sick while trying to watch it so we we didn't because it was really choppy that night so we didn't finish it but so I saw bits of it that that I fully intended to watch so he's he's all up in that is he involved in that he's involved in it um he what's the deal he like co-wrote a couple of the new songs is that the deal
Starting point is 00:10:21 what was the deal oh no you know what I'm thinking of is in the heights it wasn't um it wasn't west side store is in the Heights. Yeah, all this stuff from the, from West Side Story was in the original. I thought they had a new song or two. But, no, in the Heights is like the, the, the newest Lynn Manuel thing besides, uh, Tick, Boom. Which sounds rentish a little bit. It's a little bit. It's basically, it's like kind of square in between, um, the tick, boom and, uh, and Rent and Hamilton, like right in the middle of it. Way more rap, though. So if you like the rap, if Kim likes the rap, she might like in the heights more than she liked Tick-Tick Boom. I should say the only other, besides Hamilton,
Starting point is 00:11:07 the only other musical she really enjoyed was Moulin Rouge. She really liked. Oh, really? Okay. What about a little shop of hers? I don't think she's seen it. But remember, neither of I. So I've just never gotten around.
Starting point is 00:11:20 We've got to film sack that shit. But what was I going to say about that? She, oh, and I think again, Linger the vinyl, if you like. Oh, look at that, yeah, we got the vinyl there. You could swap that up for one of your weekly vinyl displays. Right now it's Phil Collins. Hello, I must be going.
Starting point is 00:11:38 I like it. With a little shop of hers. Yeah, I worry that. I worry about him. I'm worried about him. He's older. He's looking frail. I'm worried about Phil Collins, everybody.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I can feel it in the air tonight. You know, he's so old, he's an easy lover. Well, I hope he keeps making music and his suit. I'm sorry, studio. Terrible, terrible. I see what you did. I see what you did there. Anyway, but I think the common thread here is Kim likes stuff with like different takes of music.
Starting point is 00:12:07 She doesn't like the traditional stuff, but she's into. Yeah. If it's show tuney, she's kind of out. But if it's like, oh, they took an old Elton John song and mashed it up with this other popular thing and there's a little bit of nirvana. Like, you know, Moulon Rouge just pushed all the buttons for her. so yeah and tvs travis makes a very good point moulon rouges and show tunes it's a jukebox musical it's kind of like um moving out the the billy joel thing and uh um not really i walk the line what's another good example of that where uh rock of ages uh where it's basically
Starting point is 00:12:42 hey we're singing songs but they're mashups of songs you already know and we've kind of built a little loose framework of story around it and burr kind of thing jersey boys yes another one. Oh, I never saw that. Was that good? Never saw it either. But I know that's what it is. It looked good. It looked all right. I'm sure it's really good. Okay, quick note. I want to make sure this is well known. So you'll probably hear me say it a couple of times before the end of the week. But Tanner has put together a Discord Frog Pants Horror Movie Night this Friday. If anybody wants to come, they can come. This is all going to be on our Discord, which you can join for free at Frogpants.com slash Discord if you're not
Starting point is 00:13:21 already in there. And if you are in there, you'll find the room. There's a, there's a place where this is all happening. And here's the schedule. 5 p.m. Mountain on Friday. The empty man. They begin with the empty man. The empty man. Yep. Then the full man, right? No, there's no full man. There's the meal break and then the full man. Then you got sinister at 725. That sounds like fun. I may have to tune into that because I have not seen sinister. The elongated face scream thing, right? Like, I think that's in that. Oh, is it?
Starting point is 00:13:54 That's one of the nun ones. Part of the... Oh, a spin-out of a summoning or a summoning. What's it called? A haunting. No. Not the haunting. The other one.
Starting point is 00:14:04 The... The summoning. The... The Annabellaverse. What is wrong with my brain? Or am I thinking something wrong? Am I thinking... The shit potatoes.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Isn't it? Why am I thinking it's the... Conjuring. Shit. Conjuring. That's it. Yep. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:21 We need to be done with the blankening movies. Can we be done with all those? Because they're too damn confusing. I agree with you. Anyway, I think that is a spin-out. I could be wrong. Oh, no, no, no. Sinister's not.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Spin-out. Spinoff. It's the new spinoff. I don't know if you've heard of it. Oh, sinister is not. It's not part of the nun. No, it's the phone guy. Ethan Hawks, the bad guy, takes the kid.
Starting point is 00:14:48 I have seen that. So, all right. So anyway, that's one of them. I've seen that. That one's really good. 9.25 p.m. hereditary. I've seen that four times now. That game's scary as hell.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Once that game. Yeah, that thing is just. Oh, I thought you said that game is scary. Did I say game? You said that thing? I bet you said game, but maybe not. I thought I said a thing. But it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:15:08 It's a kind of a game. I'll give you that. And then 11.35 p.m. Barbarian, one of the best movies of the last 10 years, I think. And last year's my favorite horror movie. It's fantastic. so get excited you don't have to be there for the whole thing pop in and out whatever you want to do it's just a little community movie time and uh no one's doing any commentary over it we're just watching
Starting point is 00:15:31 movies uh so show up when you can i can't even be there for the whole thing i may pop in for some of this but you know everyone's friday's different so uh check that out that is again starting at 5 p.m on Friday all the way up till uh barbarian at 1135 p.m. It feels like a missed opportunity to not throw the exorcist in there just so they that people can watch it before a film sack, but... That's a great idea. Actually, it's not a bad idea at all. If there's anything you can slot in, Tanner,
Starting point is 00:15:57 throw the Exorcist in there for people. I like that idea. Also got a sugar-free recommendation from Eyeball Cindy. Yeah, nice of you to put that in there, but not actually put the recipe. What the hell? I know, right. Here's what she wrote.
Starting point is 00:16:13 She says, this is a text. She goes, hey, guys, it's Eyeball Cindy. Scott, you wanted a sugar-free version of the Starbucks pumpkin drinks. if you're, sorry, if you guys like iced coffee, there is a sugar-free recipe for the pumpkin iced coffee. And then it wasn't in the text. Oh, she didn't actually include it? No. So I don't know if it just didn't come through. I don't know. It wasn't like an attachment. Cindy. I don't know what happened there. She may have done totally fine and the Google voice line I use doesn't take her images or something. I don't know. I have no idea. Oh, maybe she did a little scan or something. Totally could have been. Well, I sure hope she's, you know, as a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:16:48 quality assurance when she's working on eyeballs then uh yeah i know right you got to make sure those eyes are okay let me go let me go double i'll double check the mail just to make sure uh it says here oh no that's weird hold on let's pull that up okay i think maybe there's a chance yeah no it's blank it's just blank oh so i don't know what to tell you cindia except uh thank you for trying i guess hey cleo so it's all right so there's this new uh recipe this new hot drink that's going all around that is like a super customized pumpkin spice
Starting point is 00:17:25 chai drink and let me scroll up to Randy's description of the drink from months ago oh while you're doing that I found it it wasn't from her but I found it I'll put it in here
Starting point is 00:17:41 so now it's it you can see it I'll put it up on the thing while you're looking that up there you go chat that's her I probably don't need to uh iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte with oat milk one pump of vanilla and two pumps of two pumps of brown sugar is the the original uh thousand uh calorie recipe yes so this one is uh so you can order it you go uh one no vanilla syrup two three pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup this is what you're telling the lady behind the counter you're not but you're not going to say the numbers because they'll get really confused.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Yeah. Don't say, don't say, you don't order something, you'd say no vanilla syrup. Yeah, that's true. You don't do that, do you? You just customize it. You don't say two, three pumps of sugar. You don't go, uh, Karen, no vanilla syrup first off. Stir first off.
Starting point is 00:18:32 So you get three pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup. You get one pump of pumpkin sauce, they're calling it. Uh-huh. Splash of heavy cream, uh, pumpkin spice topping, sugar-free foam. And it says, make sure you ask for that sugar-free vanilla in the cold foam, otherwise the macros will not be the same. I think this is for keto people, the macros, whatever. A macros. You keto people in your whole different language.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah, they talk in a weird way. So the whole thing is 155 calories and only 8 grams of neck carbs. Oh, that's not bad for a for a venti? Yeah, dude. That's pretty freaking incredible, actually. So I think that's it. I'm going to try this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:15 you and see what I think. Three pumps sugar-free vanilla syrup. But what's the line right before it? No vanilla syrup. That one. So just... Yeah, no vanilla syrup, okay? But then three pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Like, just leave out the line that says no vanilla syrup. But just say three pumps of... I don't know. Maybe they'll be... I don't know. Maybe they're... What's the word? They're...
Starting point is 00:19:36 Maybe the people at Starbucks just are so automatic with the sugary stuff. I think so. Well, if you say a pumpkin cream cold brew, they automatically think vanilla syrup. Here's the way you do this. Use the app. Just use the Starbucks app. You can tap the little buttons, customize it, then walk in, pick up your drink, and never even have to talk to a person.
Starting point is 00:19:54 So that's good. Let's do that. I'm doing that. Do that. Doing that today. I ain't taking this list and reading it off like a weirdo in the drive-up. That'd be weird. I want to order it ahead of time.
Starting point is 00:20:04 That's what I'm going to do. Yeah. Let's see. So Claire, they put an eye in Claire. She sent a photo of what she ordered there to get kind of. of the same thing um one own cup oh so because you brought her own cup and they put a sticker on it nice one oat so oat milk one vanilla syrup two brown sugar oh this is really just the she's just sent us a photo of what the randy recipe is oh gotcha okay well we don't want that claire we're
Starting point is 00:20:33 trying to shave pounds and live longer exactly okay that's what we're here about um also check this out dave podnar sent us something cool We're trying to shave off the pounds. Now let's eat some funions. Yeah, let's eat some funnions to make that up, you know? Oh, before I do, look what I got on Etsy, by the way. Oh, is that your fake burger? I got the fake burger.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Look at this thing. So what is shredded all over the top of it? Okay, so the top, the lighting in here is bad, but it's supposed to be one of those buns that has that, like, crumble bake stuff on it. I don't even, I've had it before, but I don't know what you call it. Oh, really? Yeah. It's a lot, though, right?
Starting point is 00:21:14 Like, there's a lot. Like, why not just sesame seeds? Like, it looks like the bun is fine. Why have all those? I don't know. It looks like pencil shaving. It kind of does. Also, this thing freaking stinks.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Does it really like just plastic smell? Oh, gosh. Worse than that. I don't even know how, I don't know what to compare it to. It's like a, I don't know what that. I don't know. I don't have a word for it. It's a new smell for me.
Starting point is 00:21:37 It's a new smell. But look, they got fake mayo in there and everything. I like the fake onions hanging out of the sides and some lettuce. Lettis. and they got some cheese under there and the bun's pretty good. Anyway, this is like seven bucks is all on a Etsy store and I was like, yeah, dude, make me a custom.
Starting point is 00:21:52 That's as much as a burger at Red Robin. I know, right? The same exact burger at Red Robin. Yeah, but I'd be pooping that out by noon. This I get to keep forever and never eat it. You can have your burger and never eat it too. That's right. Yeah, let us know how you mess with Van with that thing.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Oh, hell yeah, dude. I'm going to hand it to him go take a big bite and he's going to be like, what? And then he'll hate me forever. Anyway, Podnar, Dave Podnar, that is, sent us. spicy queso onion-flavored funyon rings. Right, so, yeah, what we had last time was the potato chips that were funyon flavored. Now we're having the funnions that are casso-flavored. Yeah, and we're going to try these and see what we think of them.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Where's my foodie thing? It's in here somewhere. Oh, I'm not liking the smell of these. Don't like the smell? No good smell. Why can I find, oh, geez, hold on. Oh, they just smell dusty. how about this one
Starting point is 00:22:46 oh oh almost washed your food down all right we'll use that today uh all right we're going to try them i haven't opened oh yeah okay you know what smells let me tell you what smells
Starting point is 00:23:00 worse than this rubber burger this bag I'm not kidding I know it's really it's uh it's not good all right here we go got a funyon Oh, they taste good, though.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Mm-hmm. As often is true on here when we do this, they smell bad, but taste great. Now that they smell bad on the outside. Why do they have sugar in these at all? What's the point of that? I don't know. I think it holds shit together. I think that's why sugars and everything.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Total sugar is less than one gram. Yeah, it's not too bad. Those aren't bad. I like them. They're not bad. They're nice and spicy, though. look nice little um finish on that thing yeah yeah i like it that's good stuff so dave podnar uh a thank you
Starting point is 00:23:50 b also uh very nice of him to send like some of this jewelry his wife makes and he sent the real the nicest thing to kim about her sister and stuff it was just really sweet oh very cool so thank you for that uh you're a good dude you've been a good dude you've been a good dude for a long time but this makes you a gooder dude you continue to be a good dude yeah of all the dudes you're the goodest all the young dudes Yeah, all the young dudes, all the young dudes. That's that great Beyonce cover of Motha Hupil. We love that.
Starting point is 00:24:24 That's not really a cover, is it? That song, a cover? No, no, no. Oh, shit. No. Well, actually, Motha Hupel's All the Young Dudes technically is a cover because David Bowie. So Mothal, the struggling glam band, just weren't able to get a hit. the lead singer
Starting point is 00:24:42 I think was friends or new David Bowie David Bowie says I have two songs I can give you your choice young Americans are all the young dudes
Starting point is 00:24:53 and Mattuple said oh we'll take all the young dudes and it was a big hit for them and then young Americans was a big hit for Bowie Oh wow So is it Mott the Duple
Starting point is 00:25:03 What is it? Mott the Hoople Hoople Okay that's a very weird name All right because whenever you say something's a cover, I automatically believe it now because you're almost always right. Because I'm an authority on that.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Right. So when you say that Beyonce covered all the single ladies, my immediate thought is, well, of course she did because this is always true. People are always covering each other and then you get full credit for it, man. Right. Exactly. Well, it's, you know, if you make it your own, if you make it a really incredible cover, especially the lesser-known obscure song, then yours becomes the, you know, de facto starting point
Starting point is 00:25:47 for other people's discoveries of that song, right? So it's true, you know, respect by Aretha Franklin, cover, because, you know, nobody really remembers the Otis Redding version, and she just, she added so much to it. See, again, I didn't know that. How do I not know these things?
Starting point is 00:26:02 They just don't tell you, you know? Yeah, they don't tell you in school. There's, you know, unfortunately, my my syllabus for uh the this is a cover bet you didn't know this was a cover class never never gets approved for high schools around the country no well that just tells you where our education system is right now brian it's not good exactly we were underfunded we're under we're under staffed and brian's brian's list never makes it to the front of the class never never made it i didn't mean to rhyme that um all right we're going to uh um go do some news now oh um what's that song

And then I found out on an MTV or somewhere later that it was a cover and I went, is this a thing people do all the time? And sure enough, even all these years later,
Starting point is 00:27:23 hell yeah, it is. Low, low these many years later. Yeah, these many, many 365 day rotations. All right, let's get to some news. We got to break some news today. Not really. There's nothing breaking here it's all exciting it's do it anyway time for the news brought to you by brought to you by kimchi dogs so here's what scott's doing yeah scott i got an air fryer saying we talked about that before oh right yes and i've been using it like crazy and let me tell you something i thought i'd had decent toast in my life the best toast i've ever had has come out of this air friar Oh, my gosh. You know, I think it's good toast.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Because you and I have the same one. You have the same Cuisinart one that's like a countertop model. It does, it does, it's a toaster oven and air fryer and broiler and all that stuff. Yeah, and it looks like a, it's all like silver. Yes. Comes with the three trays, take two of them out when you're doing the air 81. Yeah, I think we have the exact same one. And they have a setting for toast where you can say, I want it to be between one and
Starting point is 00:28:36 10 dark and I want it to whatever two or three pieces and that stuff comes out of there what's your number what's your number you're putting it on if it's a if it's a piece of sourdough see I've even gotten it down to a couple of bits of science here if it's a piece of sourdough five if it's something a little more processed like a hot dog bun which is gets me to my kimchi dog thing I put that on a three because those tend to cook quicker uh because they're junk it's junk food right yeah right um and uh so that's what I did with this hot dog bun and man you pull that out you slap and the hot dog I just do in the microwave for a minute and a half they're beef dogs from the what's the one totally fine what's the Jewish one yeah I know what you're talking about kosher
Starting point is 00:29:21 it's like a no it's called like hermits Herman's shit whatever it is Hebrew national that's it well Hebrew national right it's not hermins at all
Starting point is 00:29:38 almonds no Hebrew national they're amazing hot dogs and these are all beef so anyway I fire that up in the hot thing I time it right so that's coming out of the microwave nice and hot and ready to rock at the exact same time the bun's done
Starting point is 00:29:52 I put the bun down put the hot dog in little mustard in each side right cut up some pickles small pickles wedge those in and then I top it with the kimchi you get at Walmart doesn't matter what kind
Starting point is 00:30:06 or not Walmart, Costco. That stuff's really good. But if you, homemade, it doesn't matter. Wherever you get your kimchi, get it. And then you just kind of wedge it all in there, make a little thing. I put a picture up on Instagram. Mmm. I'm telling you, dude.
Starting point is 00:30:20 I saw that photo you put up on the socials, and it's a gorgeous-looking meal. It's very good. Very good. Now, you're not counting that, though, as your Wendy homework, right? That does not count as cooking something above and beyond. No, but thank you for the reminder. Like for waving a beef dog. I appreciate the reminder because I am behind all my homework.
Starting point is 00:30:46 I got to get that done in the next day. You and me both. You and me both. Because I need to read something that I normally wouldn't read, which means I can't just pick up the next unread Chuck Polonic novel that I haven't read yet. I have to read something like Eat, Pray, Love, or Girl with a Powdered Earring or whatever. Yeah, whatever the latest one. The girl who played with her earring.
Starting point is 00:31:08 What is it? The dragon with a girl tattoo. I like that. The dragon with a girl earring. That's it. That's it. Nailed it. Boy, those Swedes with their weird books.
Starting point is 00:31:16 But anyway, yeah, so we got homework. I'm glad you brought that up. But if you're looking for a quick kimchi dog and you've got the perfect toasting device. That's a good. I'll have to try that with the hot dog bun. It's fantastic. You put butter on there? Did you say?
Starting point is 00:31:31 A little bit. I did put some on there just to keep. it from getting all dried out. But what else did I put in there? That was it, I guess. No ketchup on this. This is all a savory kind of soury kind of take, you know, that you do with the kimchi and the mustard and the pickles and stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:48 So I think ketchup would add sweetness to it that I don't want. So I didn't do that. Yeah, no. But it's not fancy or anything, but I've done like three of them in three days. That's your new go-to. They're so good. It sounds amazing. Wait until you try making a doggarito in the microwave.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Oh, my lord. Maybe I'll figure out the air fryer for that. I don't know. I mean, not microwave. Yeah, the air fryer is what I meant. What if I used, uh, so, wait, could I put a flour. I could do flour tortilla wrapped things in there and they would toast. You totally could. Yeah, for sure. All right. I'll think of it. You'd almost be better off, uh, using a, um, pilsberry un, unrolled biscuit dough kind of thing, you know, and wrap that around the dog and then, uh, put that in the air fryer.
Starting point is 00:32:30 And boom, that would work. Bob's your uncle. Oh, that's like a monster. sized pig in a blanket, you know? It is. That's exactly what it is, yeah. Because when we got those when we were younger, those were tiny little weaners. They weren't anything. Yeah, yeah, no. Put it around, put it around.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Wrap that around your beef dog. Yeah, wrap it around your beef dog and go to town. They are fried. That's awesome. All right, here's your news for the week or the day, rather, because we'll be back tomorrow with more. Michigan State has apologized for displaying a picture of Adolf Hitler at the video board of the football game there.
Starting point is 00:33:03 This was a thing. somewhere else as well. It was kind of a big, big whip for a minute. Michigan State University, MSU, for those who are fans, has suspended an employee and apologized for displaying a picture of Adolf Hitler on the video board during a trivia quiz before the school's football game against in-state rivals, the University of Michigan on Saturday. U of M is what you would say there. Photos began circulating on social media before kickoff of Hitler on the video board at Spartan stadium with a trivia question asking where he was born.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Quote, MSU is aware the inappropriate content by a third party source was displayed on the video board prior to the start of the game. I went on to say in the statement, we are deeply sorry for the content that was displayed, and this is not representative of our institutional values. Okay, I have a question about this. Yeah. If your trivia question is, when was Hitler born? I'm trying to decide why, and
Starting point is 00:34:04 image of him is a problem. Like images of him are a problem in general. Are you saying, you know, if it's just relevant to the question, why is it a problem? Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Because relevance to the question is just like, oh, well, here's, I mean, you could say Hitler without showing a picture of him, right? You could. I just think the timing of it with what's going on in Israel is, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:26 uh, uh, is, is just bad optics right now, I think. Yeah, this is probably the worst time to have Hitler stuff. if I had to guess.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Yeah. But even also, if you're going to do a trivia thing, maybe you just don't have the Hitler question in there. I mean, you can have it as if we want to. Or do this, if it's a bar trivia, I feel like none of this is a problem for some reason. Like you just, when was Hitler born? Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:34:52 We'll figure it out. Okay. You know. And in the same token, like if I go to bar trivia and the question about Hitler comes up, they're probably not going to have his picture up on the screen. It'll just be, you know, What kind of car?
Starting point is 00:35:07 What was the model of car that Hitler was most often seen driving in photos, that sort of thing? And then maybe after that they'll show a photo of it. I think Hitler in history probably has the most staying power as a too soon icon. What I mean by that is this. If you show Genghis Khan, a picture, a painting of Genghis Khan, because there were no photos then. and you put it up on screen at the baseball game and you say or whatever if this was was it football it's football and you say when was gangers con born nobody gives a shit we all just put it off even though that guy's responsible for millions of deaths a horrible dictator type dude and there's lots of those right and you could just keep pulling him up but hitler i feel like hitler will never not be too soon you know what i mean you won't you're right exactly there was you know it's so devastating what he did that we're never going to look at a picture of him to say
Starting point is 00:36:08 all right I feel like I can finally see a picture of Hitler now and not feel tremendous sadness and anger and yeah that's like the only it's just about I was thinking about this because they found a mummy a new mummy where the person who died A brand new fresh mummy
Starting point is 00:36:25 fresh mummy brand new mummified corpse was found and and and they were all just gathered around it and poking at it and doing all this stuff And I'm fascinated by that stuff, and I think anthropology is interesting and all of that. But it got me thinking, if this person was freshly dead, none of you are going to go near this thing. But because it's hundreds of years old, it's awesome to see it. It's cool. Like even I, if you said to me, hey, Scott, it's legal for you to have the skull of someone who died in the 1600s.
Starting point is 00:36:54 And we just have an old skull laying around, but I don't think it's legal. But if it was, you could just have this skull on your desk and say, yes, that was from the 1600s. That was probably a plague victim or something. That's a cool symbol. But if you put the head, the skeletal head of a guy who died a year ago, that's effing weird. Yeah, yeah. Times funny, man.
Starting point is 00:37:16 That's all I'm saying. Yeah. I'm trying to think of a non-human example, like saying, hey, look at this stamp I just got to the post office versus, look at this stamp I got from the, you know, from the 1800s, the first Pony Express, our first post-Pony Express stamp. something like that. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:34 It's just a weird thing we do as humans. Yeah. And it's fine, you know? I mean, I understand, look, if I was the university and this happened at this particular moment in time where everybody's all over the freaking place about Israel and Palestine and everything, I get why this would just feel like, whoa, read the room, dude. Yeah, exactly. Maybe the wrong time to have this question up.
Starting point is 00:37:56 You know, you could ask you about Hitler five years ago, no problem. and hopefully when things get resolved and get better in the Middle East, we can come back to this Hitler question, but maybe just not right now. Right. Maybe now's not the time. But I think acknowledging Hitler existed and he did terrible things, I don't think we should be avoiding that, you know. Oh, gosh, no.
Starting point is 00:38:20 And maybe by telling them to pull that down and fire the guy is a form of saying that. I don't know. It's an interesting thing that I got thinking about. And I will now not think about it anymore as I move on to our next. next news story. Our next news story is this. A man was arrested for faking a heart attack, 20 times at a restaurant to avoid paying the bill.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Well, 20 times at restaurants. Like, he didn't try doing this all over and over at the same restaurant. He went to different restaurants. That would be great, though. I would be great. He's at a shonis, and he's just... This is very similar. Speaking of Chuck Polonic books,
Starting point is 00:38:52 this is very similar to the plot of the book and movie, Choke. Oh. Another great Sam Rockwell performance, but basically, Sam Rockwell would fake choking in a restaurant And then the person who comes over and performs the heimlich on him And quote unquote saves his life Would feel so indebted to him
Starting point is 00:39:13 That he'd keep getting money and presents and stuff like that Every year on his birthday from that person Oh wow Wait so that person wasn't in on it then They weren't part of the ruse okay Now that the The heimlicher versus the heimlichee I'm lucky you guys there's a title in there somewhere you got to go make that right now
Starting point is 00:39:35 I gave you I gave you all the ingredients it's time for you now to make a cake out of that yeah there you have it uh yeah I didn't know choke was about actually choking I don't know why I didn't know that never saw it so it was originally called choke club and then he said I don't want to get type guys yeah and plus you know you can't talk about choke club can talk about choke club yeah um is that a good movie should I put that on some sort of it's an okay movie it's a great book and it's a great book and it's a pretty good movie, but it's a great Sam Rockwell performance.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Well, he's always good. There are no bad Sam Rockwell performances. That is actually true. Even his worst films, he's not the problem ever. No. Yeah. I agree with that. Anyway, so this guy did this. He's 50 years old. He's from Lithuania. Not Lithuania. It's a very different place.
Starting point is 00:40:20 He was arrested in Spain after alleging fake heart attacks at several restaurants in order to avoid paying the bill. The man who was identified as Adidas J. Sadly, it's only AIDUS. There's only one D in there, but I really wanted you to say Adidas. The word, sadly, is the appropriate here. It looks so close to Adidas that when you glance at it, it absolutely looks like that.
Starting point is 00:40:41 And I want him to be that. I want him to be Adidas. My Adidas, J. But has become known locally as Gastrojetta. Gastrohetta. Is it a Hita is what you'd say, probably? Gastro Hita, because it's in Spain. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:40:58 He tried to scan. at least 20 times over the past year at different restaurants near Alcante. Alcante. According to the Spanish newspaper, El Paix and Spain's EFE news agency. Most recently, the man ordered to seafood paella and two whiskeys
Starting point is 00:41:17 at the Albuencomer restaurant Tapiera, tapera, tapera? Taparia. Taparia. Taparia. Last September and had a bill of 3485 euros, that's about 36 U.S. The man attempted to leave without paying But the restaurant stopped him halfway
Starting point is 00:41:32 Noted how he still needed to pay the bill The scammer became visibly upset And said he was going to get the money from his hotel room When staff refused to let him leave without paying The man dramatically threw himself on the ground And pretended to have a heart attack It was a heart attack or just a tantrum Like threw himself on the ground
Starting point is 00:41:50 I know you sound like a baby I'm coming Elizabeth I'm coming Have you ever Have you ever seen anybody choke or have a medical emergency in a restaurant? Ooh, no, I don't think I have, actually. I think we've both been on planes
Starting point is 00:42:06 where something was going down, right? Yeah, yeah. Where they turned the lights on and asked if there's a doctor on the plane. Yeah. But we were sitting behind the person and could only see the back of their seat and the flight attendants talking to them,
Starting point is 00:42:22 so never saw. Never saw it. Chris in the chat room says, show a photo of this guy. awesome. We need to see it. Oh, let's take a look here. Also, Larry Kenobi says he should have done it at the heart attack grill in Vegas. I agree. Yes, exactly. Then you definitely don't pay. If you have a heart attack, your meal is free. But they have women in fake nurse outfits to confirm that you're actually having heart attack. I do love that this article from Fox TVU2, uh, some local, yeah, the first photo is
Starting point is 00:42:51 paella. Yeah. This is a picture. This is a picture of paella, not the paella, the d-8 and not the dude. where is the dude I don't see a photo of the dude oh here we go ICOR may be found one let's see if this is a photo of the dude there it is right there I'll give you a copy
Starting point is 00:43:13 Yeah please do I don't see the dude I want to see the dude I hope there's the better picture of the dude than this one that Icor just sent This is as close as we're going to get maybe Oh this is the dude Is this him on the floor going oh That's him on the floor
Starting point is 00:43:28 having his little tantrum. I'll get you, daredevil. Wow. Yeah, dude. No kidding. This is like King. Where's my white suit? Kingpin Jr.
Starting point is 00:43:37 here. Oh, there's a bigger picture of his face down, down on the daily lab pose. A little bit lower, yeah. Yeah. Well, there's tons of these. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Well, good luck to him in the future, because I don't know how you keep doing that after you've been busted so hard, you know. Yeah. I think he's done. I might have to figure out a new shit. stick. Yeah. Your, uh, your, uh, your heart attack has been played, sir. You need, yeah, I did, so I witnessed somebody doing the Heimlich, but it was in high school at the cafeteria, and it was a kid who had some
Starting point is 00:44:11 condition where it was hard to swallow. Oh, really? So, yeah, he was a, I don't know what he had. It was something, it was the kind of person that you would give that thick and liquid to that you hate something. I was just going to say that. Yeah, thick and liquid contender. He was a really cool kid, but he had something was wrong. It was like ALS, but not, it wasn't, it didn't have the same death sentence, but it was like, it was kind of a, some lifelong thing. Anyway, he, he choked and I, and some kid did it who knew, who remembered it from like his CPR training or something. I think he was like a, what do you call it? Lifeguards. Oh, okay. Yeah. The lifeguard turned over there, did it. He was a hero for a while. Nice. Yeah. And then that guy, uh, went to another school and then we were all like, oh, there goes,
Starting point is 00:44:55 there goes my hero, watch him as he goes. Okay, that was a way to go, but it did kind of fade off. It took me a minute. And also the foo fighters weren't even a band when this happened. Or, excuse me, foo fighters, not the. We get that straight. Yeah. Here's a fun one.
Starting point is 00:45:15 I don't know what to make of this. So I'm just going to read it. All right. So take this, everybody, take it for what it is. Amazon lets its drivers, urine, be sold as an energy drink. It feels like I had to look and see where this came from because this really
Starting point is 00:45:31 felt like the onion article. It did. It's wired though. Wired.com and I did the same. I was like we need to make sure this isn't bullshit. Here's what the rest of the article says because it will make sense. The drink had all the hallmarks of a beverage sensation.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Striking design, bold font, and the punchy name, release. I don't like that. But inside, each bottle was filled with urine, allegedly discarded by Amazon delivery drivers and collected from plastic bottles on the side of the road. That didn't stop Amazon from listing it for sale. Release, the drink called release, even attained number one bestseller status in the bitter lemon category. That makes one to die. That feels like it's so gaming the system like
Starting point is 00:46:17 Justin and Brian used to do with their fanfic books. I heard somebody told me yesterday that Justin shaved for DTNS well not for DTNS but he was on DTNS and he shaved his beard so I went over there real quick just to check it out he looks like a thumb without his beard so I'm never
Starting point is 00:46:37 I'm never gonna shave my beard again gonna keep it forever yeah yeah I don't want to look like a thumb can't do it can do it I had to look at the you know the photo of this thing clicking on that that link and it's good to see
Starting point is 00:46:53 Charlie Bucket, fresh from working in the chocolate factory, holding a bottle of this energy drink urine. Look at that kid. He's weird looking. He's weird looking, right? He's weird looking. I don't know, man. Something's up at that face. I mean, no offense.
Starting point is 00:47:15 It's just weird. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, so he really did this and listed it. He's a journalist, a presenter, and a renowned public. of stunts, which is awfully close to prankster, and I don't like the term, I hate prankers, I hate him. And now I like this guy
Starting point is 00:47:31 even less, because I'm guessing that's who this photo is, is this, uh... Oh, that's totally him, yeah. Yeah, this Butler, dude. He says he's probably... Uba, Butler, is that really his name? Yeah, it makes you want to die, a little bit inside. Uh, it says here, he is probably most famous for turning his shed into a
Starting point is 00:47:47 London garden, or his shed in his London garden, into a number one ranked restaurant on TripAdvisor. So, yeah, he just does. He's just hacking the system is what he does. Great American Heist begins with him infiltrating in Amazon Distribution Center in Coventry with a hidden camera. This is all in Europe. And speaking to workers who complain of foot and back pain, potentially dangerous working conditions and near consistent surveillance or constant surveillance,
Starting point is 00:48:12 Butler spends his first day unloading a baking hot truck with no working fan or air conditioning. And it's full of pee and bottles. So, and it worked. you know i don't think i've i've ever seen a more punchable face than that one right there like that is a that is a face right there that just screams punch me see him down at the end here with the these two kids i don't know if they're his kids but oh let's see he's doing something all-weather block bait with his knives i don't know what yeah i don't know what the kids are adorable he his kids are cute if they're his i hope they're his he's got
Starting point is 00:48:51 He's got Pete Davidson, wake and bake eyes, unfortunately. Oh, those are his niece as it looks like. Okay. Oh, and there's a whole other story about other dark shit he's done. Yeah, I don't want to get this guy anymore. Yeah. Any more pimpage. Well, anyway, if you see a bottle of hot yellow liquid, maybe don't drink it is all I'm going to say at the end of that.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Exactly, yeah. Final story, a Muncie woman, Muncie, Indiana. Muncie woman. She's a Muncie girl. What's her power, Brian? What's her power, Brian? What's Muncie woman? woman's power. Well, she's able to help promote and market this extruded circle, you know, for kids. Excelsior. Oh, man. What a power that is. It's a deep cut for like four of you that got the
Starting point is 00:49:35 reference. Yep. Let us know right in. Let us know which four of you are out there. Munchy woman stole a car from a dealership and she used it to drive to exotic dancer interview in Indianapolis job she was trying to get according to court docs. So stole the car to go to her interview. Police claim this woman didn't know what the big deal was about stealing a Kia from a car dealership in order to allow her to drive to Indianapolis for a job interview to be an exotic dancer. I'm your private dancer.
Starting point is 00:50:06 I just stole this Kia. What else you want me to do? I'm your bandit dancer. Now back to my sportage in any old music with. do. There's a upcoming film sack Brian song in there. Exactly. If only I wrote songs for individual news
Starting point is 00:50:33 stories. Not going to do that. Well, in this court document set, a 20-year-old Cassia Shelton acted like this whole thing was a joke and did not understand what she was going to be arrested for after police tackled her down, tracked her down, rather, and questioned her about her stolen car. Police learned of the theft in 2017.
Starting point is 00:50:51 of the 2013 Kia Optima. Oh, so she even stole an old car. Oh, wow. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah. 10-year-old IKEA Optima. Maybe she thought, well, whatever. Now welcome to the main stage, Cassia Shelton, who will be dancing to Bincaught Stealing by Jane's Addiction.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Yep. And then, funny enough, sometimes when I copy a story out for our notes, it copies like the headline for another thing that's linked embedded in there somewhere. And I miss it. This one's amazing. because at the end of the car it was stolen, the very next sentence says, Richmond woman,
Starting point is 00:51:24 Faked Heart Attack, hid drugs in privates, court docs reveal. Holy crap, I grabbed the wrong article. I want that one. Where's that? Did it put that? Oh, there it is right there. It was jammed up into the next,
Starting point is 00:51:36 the previous paragraph, so it looked like it was part of it. Yeah, and on the page itself, it was probably nicely CSSed in there, you know, it was probably just fine, but I copied out weird. We got to introduce Richmond woman to a Lithuanian man,
Starting point is 00:51:48 and they can go have, have heart attacks and take drugs together. That's right. She got, all right, you're ready? We're going to have a heart attack at this restaurant. Let's go into the Taco Bell. Have you got the heroin in your vagina? Because we need that too.

Starting point is 00:58:11 Yeah, it's a brand new track from the band Calling Hours. Their new album is called Say Less. It's going to be the debut album. Comes out November 10th. That is the first single from Calling Hours called Gin Perry. Write it down. Don't forget it. Go check it out and get it. All right. We're going to phase two del Bocavista here. We're going to call Dan. All right. shingles, so, uh, oh no, does he really? Yeah, so he can tell us. Did he not get the vaccine? I mean, I guess he just missed it. Um, he's not quite, I don't think he's 50 yet. So that's usually when they tell you to do it. So it's a bit of a bummer. He'll explain, though. We'll hear all about it and find out if it's as bad as it sounds. I know the vaccine sucked. That was a pain in my ass. So, uh, in fact, I feel like I haven't completely entirely gotten over.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Oh God. Really? Does there still parts of me that, are like a little sensitive like physically that it never was like that until I got that second one and he can probably help us understand all that but let's play his intro Here's a tangent for him Be careful
Starting point is 00:59:20 May cause drowsiness Well well well if it isn't Dan Patrice Joining us as he does on the monthly To talk about not just board games But sometimes Medical stuff That's right greetings programs And yes I am not old enough
Starting point is 00:59:35 To get the shingles vaccine yet and they wouldn't even get it to me if I asked them for it. Yeah, they won't let you pre-50, right? I don't think. Right. Yeah, I mean, you can get it from 19 on if you have pre-existing conditions and immunocompromised, and I'm just a regular old dude. He's got nothing, you know, thank God, knocking wood, nothing else going on.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Just a hockey-loving bastard who has way too many, way too many board games in his house. That's just who you are. Wouldn't stuff around a table a lot of times. Well, and so just for those who may be tuning him for the first time or don't know, this. Dan is a, he's a, he's a professional in the pharmacy world and knows a lot about these drugs and, you know, vaccines and all this sort of stuff. I thought, I'm a doctor pharmacy who is actually a certified vaccinator as well. Oh, I didn't. Dude, next year, I want to come to your, well, I'll fly out there in the fall and you can just shoot me up. You want to do that? I would love to have Dan give me my shots. That'd be
Starting point is 01:00:29 amazing. I'm actually really, you know, thousands and thousands of shots. And surprisingly enough, if you do it the right away, it does keep some of the initial pain down. You know, a lot of the stuff that happens later is not anything we can do about it. But, you know, sometimes if there are people are giving thousand shots at a time, it's a little hard to just, you're going jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, everywhere. And it's hard to keep all the pain down for people. But there is definitely, you develop a technique and there is, it is an art form for sure.
Starting point is 01:00:56 You ever have anybody go in there and go? And you say, okay, you want your left arm or right arm? And they say, I'd like it in my bottom. actually he used to be surprised that people would say stuff like that so one of the funniest things that ever happened we had to go to i guess it's funny and sad at the same time so uh i'm i'm not make fun of old people but i'm gonna make fun of this situation as old because it happens with people that are kind of a little i'm needlephobic too but this is an extreme one we were going to give flu shots to an arrest home and uh you know like most clinics you go to the places and they just kind of parade people in there this poor little old lady uh Her skin was, like, paper thin, like a lot of old people. She didn't have a whole lot of muscle to work with. But it was kind of almost reminiscent of, and this is what happens when you get old, kind of like your faculties are all over the place.
Starting point is 01:01:44 And you're reminiscent of a child in some ways when you're not all there. So as I was getting a needle kind of close to the skin, she would scream like I was killing her. And I'm like, I haven't even done anything yet. And then I would pull it back and she would stop screaming. It was almost like a dog or a kid. So I would get to needle closer. She'd be like, who are, you know, And it would be back before that.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Like the alarm is going off kind of thing. Oh, so bad. And of course, her daughter was there. She's like, just do it. She's like, she does this every time. Just go ahead and do it. I was like, I'm so sorry. He's like, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:02:14 I mean, have you ever had anybody faint while you're doing it or anything like that? No, you do actually get some people, you know, you have to make them stay around, especially with food shots, and stuff. You make them stay around for about 15 minutes or you ask them to. You can't force people to in case they get lightheaded from just, just from injection site reactions or the actual just get. getting an immunization or injection, any injection can sometimes do that. So you want people to sit around in case they get lightheaded or are about to faint or anything.
Starting point is 01:02:40 I've never, and like I said, I've given tens of thousands of flu shots and other immunizations, but I've never actually had some. I've heard stories of people just kind of falling out and then, you know, you got to call the MS and stuff. And usually it's generally just nothing, just, you know, just a little bit of syncope, just, you know, low blood pressure or just kind of just normal fainting stuff. Yeah. Luckily, nothing's ever been like a cardiac or anything to that extent. But normally what happens is, you know, this was back when I worked at Kroger.
Starting point is 01:03:08 So that's a food store, you know, a grocery store. So people would come in there, you'd get your food shot. And then they just want to, they just walk away and keep shopping. So they're like, oh, I'm just going to walk. I'll check back in with you. And then he just do their thing. I always take it as the law. Like, I have to sit there for 15.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I never, I never not do that. Because they tell me, just like, you want to hang around here for 15 minutes. And I'm like, okay, anything you say, you're the one. You know the stuff. You're in charge. So I just stay there. I must be a sucker. I'm me. I do the walking around. I'm like, I'm going to walk around the store, and then I walk around the store for like five minutes. Feel fine. I'm going to walk. And then you leave. Yeah. And generally, if something's going to happen, it's usually going to be pretty quick. Yeah. It's going to happen for a reaction to it. Yeah. It's not like you have needle police laying and standing around waiting to tackle you from leaving or whatever. So that's good. So tell us about this old shingles thing, because shingles sounds like it sucks ass. Yeah. So about a week and a half ago, my arms started hurting. And, you know, I'm not 50 yet, but we're all of a certain age.
Starting point is 01:04:02 where you can walk into a room and pull a muscle. And you're like, oh, what did I just do? You know, so I just thought I slept wrong and it kind of just my arm hurt and I couldn't pinpoint where it was. And then it just started feeling like, the best way I can describe it is either sunburn all over my arm without having a sunburn or if anybody's had gout out there,
Starting point is 01:04:21 it felt like gout in my arm. So gout is obviously in your toes, but it's one of those things that when you have a real bad outbreak of gout, like even a sheet from your bed, it will be excruciating pain. That's how sensitive. That's what my arm was like. It was just so sensitive.
Starting point is 01:04:38 I couldn't get comfortable at night. I'm like, what the hell is going on? So then this weekend, I was hopping in a shower, and Janice was like, did you get bit by something on your back? And I was like, no. So she said there's a couple of dots on there. Then later Sunday night, it got a little bit bigger. So, of course, I called up our friendly neighborhood buddy.
Starting point is 01:04:57 I called, I sent Jerry a message over it. So I sent Tolbert a message and I was like, so here's what's going on. I was like, I think I know what this is, but I'm really hoping it's not, you know, at least it would be a good action. So then, of course, like we get all the time, I got a, yeah, I'll have to text you guys my picture of this. So I sent taggeri. Oh, Scott already said it to me. This isn't him, though.
Starting point is 01:05:18 This is just a random. Oh, got you. Mine was nearly as bad as that. So mine was just kind of like five or six little kind of areas, just a little bit raised, not quite. Nothing's crusted or oozing. That's kind of usually what happens kind of. one of the last things. And that's when you've got to watch out for people.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Because generally, even though everybody's got herpes, and that's what basically shingles is. So Jerry basically just said, yeah, you got textbook shingles, dude. I was like, oh, great. So I ended up getting some Valtrex and I'm taking that. So hopefully everything will go away. And it won't have a lot of times after shingles will get post-herpetic neuralgia, which is just random pain, which just sucks.
Starting point is 01:05:52 Yeah, that's the worst. What's already going on with my arm. So, well, after about a day and a half of being on to Valtrex, it's kind of getting a little bit better as it is. So hopefully that's it. But like I was saying, you know, everybody kind of already has, you know, either the herpes virus in you or different forms. And a lot of us, especially at a certain age, have had chickenpox in the past.
Starting point is 01:06:10 So it's basically there. But the main thing that I want to kind of stress to people, and I know that Wendy talks about this, and I know even Spag talks about this a bit, there's definitely a certain mindset or kind of a, I don't want to say like disease guilt, you know, in a way where, Like when something happens, you kind of either blame yourself or you just get a little bit down. Because this is the first thing I think I was like, what to F that I do to get this? Or what did I, what did I screw up? But the truth is nothing.
Starting point is 01:06:42 These things just happened. So it's a very normal initial feeling for people. So I just want to remind everybody out there to get things like this or something happens. Just talk to people or just kind of remember it's not your fault. Right. Especially with, you know, with a lot of things and even things that you maybe think that are your fault. just just just just try to you do get yourself in a better mindset however you need to talk to somebody talk to your health care provider and things like that um because it does it does kind of get you down when little things like this happens yeah if this happened to me if i woke up with like the picture i had had on our chat there for a second if something like that was on me i would immediately blame these uh kimchi dogs i've been eating for three days that's what i would do and it would be wrong of me to do it you know those are fine it's not their fault uh it's it's it's Something else.
Starting point is 01:07:29 But yeah, this is, so, okay, if you're over 50, get the Vax, if you have had chicken pox. If you haven't had it, they won't give it to you. Or I guess, I guess they'll give it to you anyway, because how are you supposed to prove that you had chicken pox? I don't even know how you do that. Is there a record? I think, God, it's been a while since I've actually given these. So I'm pretty sure you can still get them over 50, even if you haven't had, I mean, you can still get the shot, even if you haven't had it. Because a lot of times when you haven't had chicken pox, you can either get chicken box later, and it's a lot worse than when you're a kid.
Starting point is 01:07:56 or it can just go straight to shingles. A lot of times when you're older, just because of the way the virus activates. Kim's sister, or one of her sisters had it in her face, her sister Sarah had it in her face and under the dermis or something. It was really bad. Yes, you can get them a lot of times. I mean, it can be pretty bad.
Starting point is 01:08:15 I mean, luckily mine's just, you know, a little spot in my back that should go away. A lot of times you can have very diffuse. Kind of the way the nerves and what they call the dermatomes kind of work, it can kind of really get in, there and just kind of spread through almost like, you know, nerves look like they're all spider weby in the body. It's like you can latch on to kind of one of those web, you know, one of those nerve endings and just kind of break out in the whole thing. And sometimes you can
Starting point is 01:08:39 get them under your skin, I mean, under your hairline, uh, in the skin on your hairline, sometimes around the eye. And it's generally what's interesting about it is it's usually confined to one side of the body as well. Like my other arm doesn't hurt at all. And I don't have any other symptoms anywhere else. It's just that my left arm and that kind of upper upper back is starting to just it's starting to get a little more sensitive which means it's probably the spot didn't hurt at all but it's a little more
Starting point is 01:09:02 sensitive now so it's probably peaking and getting ready to go away and luckily my arm pain and the tingling is going away a bit so hopefully I'm on the on demand and hopefully I don't get any sort of you know and shingles is interesting because you can get it you can have these recurrences yearly
Starting point is 01:09:18 every five years I mean you'd never know when it's going to come back like hopefully it doesn't come back for another 10 years or whatever if it ever does but you know a lot of times things like stress or other things. And of course, I've got the Gamer's for Cures charity event that I run every year is coming up on 11-11 on Saturday 11th. So I'm in full charity mode. And that's probably the stress that probably the body was, you know, could, things like that could happen.
Starting point is 01:09:41 So once you get, so the vaccines, though, the two-phase vaccine, you get one and they go back two weeks and get the second one, which just wrecked me, by the way. That was a rough second one for me. Does that mean I'm not supposed to ever get it? Or is there still, you can still get it. No, you can. Like anything else, you. you can almost always still get anything you're vaccinated for, but it just makes the likelihood a lot less.
Starting point is 01:10:02 And depending on the disease state, you know, disease that you are vaccinated for and what you do get, a lot of times there are a lot less, you know, the duration and the peak of it is a lot less. So like the severity, like with COVID or anything else, your severity gets cut way back if you. Exactly. Your severity is less. And that's the thing about, you know, even a flu shot.
Starting point is 01:10:22 And it's a lot of times if you do get the flu, it's going to be, you know, a few days less. Maybe it won't be as bad on you. Same thing with kind of now the way the COVID vaccines are. It just helps your body to be a little bit prepared and have some of those antibodies so that things will be a little bit less severe for that. Nice. Now, I happen to know through a little bird that you found a Kickstarter board game that you think, Ibit in particular, but me maybe as well. Both of these games, I think I would absolutely love.
Starting point is 01:10:50 I think the game itself, actually, both of these games, Scott, you would love too. We'll get somebody to teach them to you, but we would love them both. I love the ongoing joke. Never stop. Always bring up my hatred of rules. I think it's great. I'm not complaining. Cardboard games.
Starting point is 01:11:05 I actually have the second one, but not this new iteration of it. Okay, so let's talk about the board game first. This is kind of a re-implementation of Eldridge Horror, which is kind of, it's like Arkham Horror that they put out kind of an Eldridge horror version is like kind of a re-skinned, but a little bit different game. It's called Marvel Dagger. And it's kind of a longer playing game, but it's a lot of fun.
Starting point is 01:11:26 fun because you're controlling heroes and you're kind of completing missions to go against one big bad, like you may have Loki or Red Skull or Ultron in the base game. You've got all them. And you kind of have side missions you're going on, you're going on your hero-specific missions, and you're unlocking different things. So things like El-Harr or Arkham Har, you're getting items and things like that. And here, instead of that, what you're doing to Marvel Dagger is you're unlocking kind of side, you know, either sidekicks or other items. Like you can unlock Mileneer or you're unlocking, you know, Bucky and things like that, depending on who you're playing. And then, you know, after you're done playing, so all you're really doing is you're choosing
Starting point is 01:12:01 actions. And that's thing. So, Scott, when anybody explains to you, here's what you're doing, but you're just, here's four actions you can do. That's the game, you know, and the person that's running the game is pretty much taking care of all the upkeep and stuff like that. So it's easy to teach. It is a little bit longer.
Starting point is 01:12:15 I play it solo, and I played it once multiplayer. You played solo is like kind of two-handed where you're controlling two different heroes. The thing that's amazing to me these days is a company. company like Fantasy Flight, the rulebook is kind of a mess. Like, you would think that so much testing would be done that you would have questions, and then it would be like, oh, well, we need to address that. I watched a play-through that Fantasy Flight did. And I'm sitting there watching it going, boy, they're screwing up rules all over the place.
Starting point is 01:12:40 You're in the company. Oh, funny. It's weird. I mean, it's, it'd be like, their own game, they're doing a video, they're doing a video of their own game and effing up the rules while they're playing it. Yes. I mean, so effing up the rules may be a little extreme, but just forgetting little things, like just omitting little things. Do you prefer the watch it played, like the real things that come from the vendors themselves?
Starting point is 01:13:07 As saccharine as that guy is, I do really like the, here's how you play the game. Yeah. So Rodney's good. I have to rotate who I watch the how to play. So Fantasy Flight, their particular how to play, not necessarily their play-throughs, their how-to-play is are very, very good. They're usually short, and they're very concise, and they get an actor. He reminds me of, it might even be the same guy. The guy in Lord of the Rings, who was the king that was, like, he kind of jumps off in the third one.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Oh, King. Yeah, the guy from, oh, shit. Yes, I know. Theodan, or King Theodan? No, he's the Rohan guy. the other king the one that's eating the cherry tomatoes all gross while what's his name sings that king right the king from fringe the king from fringe it's not theoden it's king denethor that's it's that it yes yeah so it's it's it's it even sounds like him it might even be him
Starting point is 01:14:08 because i know they get some good actors to do it so a lot of times they'll get him to narrate some of their games and he does an excellent job uh but and i do like rodney um and i think we've mentioned this in the past as much as i like rodney and i know him personally he just puts me to sleep when I watched him. I know. Yeah. And there's a watch he's watch it played. There's game rules. There's Paul Grogan. He's a, he's a Brit, so it's a little easier for me to listen to him
Starting point is 01:14:30 and not fall asleep. But there's a lot of different people. John gets games. There's a lot of different people that do really good rules, you know, that rules play through. So I kind of rotate who I watch just to keep it fresh. And they'll have different ways of describing the games and such. But the game
Starting point is 01:14:46 that I think, if you are a Marvel fan, or if you are a Dice Throne fan, Dice Throne is an excellent game. It's kind of a two-player game where we're just basically chucking dice and attacking each other. Now, there's Marvel Dice Throne that had come out. I've got a couple of them. I've got one that's got, I think it's got Dr. Strange and Thor and Loki.
Starting point is 01:15:01 Yeah, the Kickstarter one had like 12 mini boxes in the big box, and it was like such a great deal. It's a really fun game. And now they've got Marvel Dice Throne that's going to be X-Men, because I know that's your weak spot, Brian. I mean, Marvel is my weak spot. Dan? yeah it is you have a full stop although i feel like spider man might went out if you're doing like
Starting point is 01:15:24 an oh that's true yeah like if it's right you give me a a board game that is just spider man i'll probably pick it up yeah that makes it surprisingly very few of those actually yeah to be honest i know it was that one that had just had the hands of all of his villains um oh yeah yeah so that's kind of that's actually a fun little co-op one oh i can't remember one no one was but i did pick that up because it looked really cool and i have not played it yet, but I got to break that out and teach her how to play that one. Yes, that is a fun one.
Starting point is 01:15:53 And a good co-op game as well. Sometimes it can get a little bit deterministic where it's basically there's not a damn thing you can do to win. Yeah. You know, because a lot of times the way your cards are coming out and the way the symbols are coming out,
Starting point is 01:16:03 sometimes you can kind of get past that but sometimes it's like, you know, I guess pandemic can be like that a little bit too where depending on how the shuffle is and like, it doesn't matter how good you are, you're just not winning this movie. Yeah. I mean, that's, let's see it.
Starting point is 01:16:14 Would you call that RNG or would you call that something else in this? It is kind of RNG. In a way, because it is the way the cards are shuffled and stuff. And it's pretty rare with something like pandemic, or when you start ratcheting up the difficulty, or if you played Pandemic Legacy, just sometimes how the legacy elements come out and how the cards come out.
Starting point is 01:16:34 You're just staring into defeat sometimes. Yeah. They're still totally fun games. Sure. And it does similar thing here with, they also are putting out Marvel missions. There's a co-op missions for the dice thrown. So it takes from where you're playing one-on-one.
Starting point is 01:16:48 to playing a co-op and then the final thing they have in this Kickstarter is Deadpool is also out in this Kickstarter as part of them not going to back this one just because I've got the the original is enough for me but I do like all the things they added to this new one I mean there's so much stuff yeah he's figure I mean to me it's cool up alone yeah look at that I absolutely love co-op and it was also a really good so I don't know if I think I don't know if I shared it with you guys I did a really cool video of just kind of I wouldn't say it's a really cool video. It's just me, but it's so I don't know how cool that can be. So cool, Dan. So cool. It's the coolest. Come on. Yeah. Because I've
Starting point is 01:17:27 been trying to do a little bit more video content for some board games. You know, overviews and kind of playthroughs and stuff like here and there. So I did a solo playthru on one game and kind of some of overviews. But I did do kind of an unboxing of game topers. They just had another Kickstarter today. So if you guys ever thought, we like to, for lack of a better term, we like to kind of pimp out our games. Like when we get a game, you know, you can get better bits for it or You get better storage, just kind of stuff like that. Just makes your game experience. But something I've always wanted was kind of like a game topper
Starting point is 01:17:53 or a better table with a play mat. So I got a game topper from Game Toppers LLC. They just have a Kickstarter today. So if you want to get on like better pricing and you get also, they've got some contests so you can win some stuff. Check out Game Toppers LLC. These table toppers or game toppers are amazing to play on.
Starting point is 01:18:11 You didn't realize how much you need this until you have one. And there's so much fun because the way that just kind of the way it transforms your table, then they've got kind of upholders there. They even have a really cool thing that you can put on the side, and it's a dice to the table, and it'll roll the dice into the table on there. I got a 3D printed one.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Who was that from, was it Omni? No, stage top. Is that the one you're, that's not the one you're talking about, though, right? No, no, no. This is game towers, but I don't know who, I don't know if they outsource kind of the way that the, I don't know if they make them themselves, or if they outsource kind of the dice tower, things that hit you know they kind of click onto or or they just kind of attached there but no i mean it's a whole
Starting point is 01:18:49 table a whole 3d printed uh table top thing uh from oh no no no no yeah this these game toppers are amazing they're they're heavy like the box i came to my house was like 150 pounds geez oh wow when you put it together when you put them together it's not that hard i mean like each side is a little bit heavy but they go on just like in a nice folding table or you can actually get uh legs for them as well that there's kits they sell that have legs and then it'll support in the middle. And then they have amazing play mats. So if you're just a play mat person, if you already have a really nice big table, they have some great play mats with some amazing artists that they just put out too because they've got artists like Vincent Dutrate and and Ryan Lockett. These are
Starting point is 01:19:26 great artists that I think Quan Chai Moria even has a game mat with a play mat with them. So this is just, these things are just awesome. I mean, I keep it set up in my in my room, but they have even have things that when you take it apart, they even have kind of you can put them into kind of like a bag and kind of store it so like a protective bag uh storage bag that you can put in there too uh but they're just amazing and they they've got the newest thing that they've got on this kick starter that i thought was really cool uh and scott you don't have this having uh you know the grandkids there's there's these little like mini i think they're called young sherlocks where they basically are just these little table topers the little game toppers that you put on like either
Starting point is 01:20:03 a coffee table or if you get the legs they're basically their own coffee table and the kids can just play games or uh you know legos or blocks and uh or puzzles and stuff like that Oh, that sounds awesome. We do that stuff all the time. I would love to have one of those. Let's see. What's great is if you're playing, you know, a marathon game of risk, you can just lift that tabletopper off of your dining table, have dinner.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Put that away for a little while. Then when you're ready to keep playing, you just bring the tabletopper out. Well, in stuff like that is what's also cool is they have inserts that you can be playing, I guess they're called inserts, but they're basically called inserts, but you can actually put a table on top of your, Oh, right. So you can actually put something on top of there, eat dinner. Yes, Mark Spagnola had one of those that he made, and it's just, it was just the coolest damn thing.
Starting point is 01:20:52 You know, when he, when they moved back out east, I was like, you should leave that table. Just leave it here, buddy. Yeah. I'll find me good home for it. Dude, I'll bet there's all kinds of stuff from. I'll bet he's got like a whole warehouse full of stuff that would have been rad to leave. Oh, for sure. He already helped me build the covercade, the arcade cabinet that's all wood with the retrocade in there.
Starting point is 01:21:17 I couldn't ask him to do anything else for me. That thing is really cool. Nice. Well, go check these out. You can actually see my unboxing video on that Kickstarter page, too, the unboxing that I did. You can see how big the table is with another game set up. What's your YouTube channel? Is that where this is at?
Starting point is 01:21:36 Yeah, it's just me. It's just Danpatrice. Just under my name. I'm going to put you. Well, you are the worst salesman ever. I'm giving, I'm not even to give you the good leads. I'm going to give you the good leads. I'm going to give you the good leads. I'm not getting a Glenn Gary leads. I'll give it to it. It is Dan Patrice on YouTube. The way YouTube does their new at thing. So it's YouTube.com slash at Dan Patrice. All right, everybody. And I do. I put up a lot of it. So I put up some of the DJ's videos there. So I mean, the reason why I keep it as my name is because some of his kind of recruiting videos and stuff with that. I'll put some. some highlights of him on there, but I also have other playlists that are basically playthroughs or, or unboxings or overviews as well. Yeah, and here's here you are doing Fall of Lumen, watching you do it. That's also on Kickstarter now.
Starting point is 01:22:22 If you want to check out Paul of Lumen, that's actually a lot of fun. If you like Lost Ruins of Arnack, and this is kind of a fantasy theme, it has a lot of the same kind of mechanics where you're doing some card play, and you're either getting resources from a card or getting an action from the card. it's a lot of fun and if you like fantasy type themes and you really like because Lost Runs Varnack
Starting point is 01:22:42 was one of the best games of the last few years so using that kind of mechanism in there is very regular. Boy, the art on the box is beautiful art. Holy crap, I love it. Yeah, super into that.
Starting point is 01:22:51 And that brings up another thing we should talk about another day, Scott, because especially I'd love to get your take on it's kind of AI art but the designers of the game are artists. So a lot of the art is their art but the AI help them to finish.
Starting point is 01:23:06 There's a lot going on. right now with that like some people here's so here's a use case that some people are using that I know they'll do foreground character normally you would have to have a complete composition of here's the character I've created and now I've got to put in all the elements in the background and have he's in an old tavern or or it's the background as an old city or whatever it is and what they're doing instead is they finish their character art and then they tell AI fill in the background with what I now I'm going to describe to you and it saves them hours and hours and hours and hours of work. It's a good compromise, I think. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:23:41 it's not bad from a, from a workflow perspective, because I could see why a vastly underpaid artists would want to use this tool to hurry up and get a project done. And I think, I think there's some value in it. It's controversial, of course. But I wouldn't mind seeing, they're probably doing something similar here, as my guess, is they've, you know, they're creating characters. They're creating scenario art. And then they're saying, well, let's just fill in some of the gaps. and some of the stuff that takes us an extra three weeks of production we can do in five minutes and technically I'm still the artist
Starting point is 01:24:13 and I'm also the prompter. I don't know. They're not feeding Scott Johnson's art into an AI generator and then generating 50 card images from that. There's a big difference, I think. I think that's where a lot of things work because you're not getting any sort of credit
Starting point is 01:24:31 or any sort of money for this when somebody does something like that. Right. And they do it with their own. own art, it's like, okay, they're going to make a background based on the art. That's the other thing is it's using your art as a baseline so that it's consistent. That to me is much closer to just a useful tool for an artist and not a cheap shortcut or a tracing mechanism or something like that. I mean, there's a lot of gray area right now with all this stuff. But as it continues
Starting point is 01:24:57 to suss out, I think this is one area. We'll see it happen more and more. I could see comic book artists, for example, who are on a really tight deadline and they've got approval from DC or Marvel to say, look, I've drawn Spider-Man having his fight, but I do not have time to make New York. Let the computer make New York
Starting point is 01:25:17 in the style of my art. And I could see why that might be a thing that's more and more common. So anyway, fascinating stuff. Dan, as always, the pleasure of having you here is palpable. We can all feel it. Oh, I love you. You feel it more, though,
Starting point is 01:25:32 because you've got a weird sensitive, you've got a weird sensitive left arm, and so you're going to feel it a bit more than us. Yeah. Yeah, it hurts. I hope you feel better, though, dude. Oh, man. You mind if I just give out the,

Starting point is 01:26:23 and we'll see you soon. Happy Halloween. See you guys. Bye now. All right. We did it. Nice. I'm going to take my Be Real right now.
Starting point is 01:26:31 It's time to be real right now. It's time to be. real, everybody. Has it all to be real? My notification has probably been hours already, and I barely done it today, or yesterday this week. Hold on, let's see. When does mine happen?
Starting point is 01:26:44 Should be now. Oh, yeah, be real. Yeah, it's time. Two minutes left to capture my be real. I better do it. Better hurry. Better hurry. I better do it.
Starting point is 01:26:55 I'll do this picture of Brian and me and our little twitchy hoo-ha, and then I'll go. Yeah. And then I look like a crazy old person. There I sent it. We're done. You are a crazy old person. All done. All right. A quick thing before we... Tom is image searching. Wow, that's great. Tom out there getting his porn on, you know? That's right. Exactly. All right. Here is a thing I wanted to mention. We got an email. This is a little while ago, and I meant to talk about it by now, and I haven't. So I'm going to do it. It's an email about call sheet. It's this new app that's an alternative to I'm d'b. I haven't used this. I haven't either, but it's pretty darn cool. I think it's iOS only, or is it a website also?
Starting point is 01:27:37 I downloaded the iOS version to check it out, and it's, yeah, I like it. Let's see, downloadable. Yeah, call sheet is, I don't think they've got a, like, a web version, which is a little bit of a bummer, because that would be nice. But it is an app, and it's free. This is what they said, say, hey, salsa and blue corn. That sounds good. Blue corn chips? Yeah, I know. I'm all over both of those things.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Yeah, that sounds great. It says after listening to you guys try to figure out what films Michelle Williams start in, I thought I should check out the iOS app, or I thought you should check out the iOS app, Call Sheets. It's made by a fellow podcaster, and it's super handy. Love the Hobo, Russell from Chicago. Just a nice alternative, you know? Yeah, it's a clean interface. Yeah, full of ads and stuff.
Starting point is 01:28:25 Yeah, I like it. Yeah. Check it out, everybody. I don't know if it's on Android. I have no idea. Call sheet, all one word. Hall sheet. Dan's charity.

Starting point is 01:28:41 If you haven't, patreon.com slash TMS. Never been a better time than now. And if not you, then who. And if not when, then now. Wait, if not now, then when. All right.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Get in there. Patreon.com slash TMS. That is going to do it for today's show. Brian, you have anything going on today? want to mention any of stuff? Did the Millennium Falcon build yesterday, live streamed it. You'll find it on Coverville. You'll find
Starting point is 01:29:07 on YouTube.com slash coverville. Working on the whole tube that goes into the cockpit, too, of the Millennium Falcon. That whole area. Really cool stuff. And right now the stuff they've given me, I could actually put the cockpit up on the camera
Starting point is 01:29:23 with the camera facing out and it'll look like the Millennium Falcon is flying into my head. Oh, that's cool. I like that. So check that out there. I don't know if I'll do anything today, but keep an eye on the channel for painting and stuff like that. I got a Bruce Willis, got a John McLean model I've got to paint. So maybe I'll do a little bit of that today.
Starting point is 01:29:44 Ooh, John McLean. Is he inside the vent or is it something else? Nope, it's him standing up. It's almost like him at the very end without the taped gun on his back. But everything else is there. He's basically standing there with two guns and he's ready to go find. Hans Gruber. Oh, good.
Starting point is 01:30:01 Barefoot, uh, bloody feet because of the glass and... I think you showed me this. I think you showed me the... Shoot the glass. I think you showed me the model before. Yeah, that I think about it. Yeah. That thing's awesome.
Starting point is 01:30:15 It's great. I hear he's not doing great though these days. I know. Poor guy. Really bums me out. Like he's not... It makes me sad when I watch him on moonlighting and say, man. I hate what's happening to him right now.
Starting point is 01:30:27 Yeah. Not even verbal anymore, I don't think. Like, he's not... Oh, really? Yeah. That sucks. That shouldn't be Bruce Willis, who's not verbal. He should be verbal.
Starting point is 01:30:36 You know what I mean? He has things to say, and he should always say them. All right, that's going to do it for us. We're out of here. Play a song. Let's go. What do we got? Some kind of cover.
Starting point is 01:30:44 Okay. How about this one going out to Jay? Greetings, Stomp and Brighton. To commemorate my 41st trip around our star, the universe will stage an annual solar eclipse.
