Hello, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for Halloween, Tuesday, October 31st, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson. And that's Brian Ibit. Ooh, scary, Scary, Brian, ooh. Hey, happy Halloween, Brian.

How are your day? Yeah, happy Halloween to you too. Did you do anything? We actually ended up going to trivia last night. We had a couple little stumbling blocks because I forgot that two bands, two 90s bands, had logos that were happy-faced. with X's for eyes.

Oh, hold on. Let me think. 90s or 80s? What'd you say? 90s, 90s bands. Two 90s bands had logos that were happy faces with X's for eyes. Oh, why is that so familiar? I got watchmen poking their face into this.

They don't belong. Get out. Move out. I'm just thinking of smiley faces now. I can't think of who it is. I Okow and Claire both have it. Yeah, Nirvana and Blink 182 both have logos with smile of faces. Nirvana's had the little wiggly mouth and then Blink 1282 had like arrows coming off the side of the face like that all meant something.

Nirvana should have been forced to make their logo a naked kid in a pool. It should have just been their logo forever. Yeah. Like the Rolling Stone's mouth with the tongue, it should have been Dollar Baby Wean basically is what it should have been. I don't think they get to do that in the modern day. Like if Nirvana was launching today, they had this album. album and this cover comes out and it's a kid with its doodle out i don't i don't think it flies i don't know why we were so popular these days like you see album covers now and it's a little

tiny square on your screen as you're streaming something you know it's yeah yeah that's you don't you probably wouldn't even notice the doodle unless uh unless you like you know put it up on full screen television apple play business otherwise it's like otherwise it's like i think that might be a baby i can't tell what he's reaching for but oh this album's really good Yeah, because you're, you know what, you're right, we don't see, it's kind of a shame. Album art for, absolutely is a shame. Yeah, album art that we have now for things, new things, unless you go get vinyl, it's not a big thing to look at. No, no, it bums me out because that was always such a good part of the experience.

You'd listen to the album, like you'd, you'd bring home the album, you'd pull that massive cellophane plastic thing off of it. Yeah. Uh, you'd pull the, the jacket out, you'd pull the, uh, album out of the jacket, and then you'd read the lyrics and look at the album cover while you listen to the album for the first time. Yeah. There's, there's, there's, you don't have that anymore. It's like, yeah.

That's a bummer. I don't know how you can recreate it. Like, why not let us? I mean, you just have to force yourself to do it. And, and when you get an album, get, you know, even if you're getting, or listening to it's streaming, pull up the lyrics, don't do anything else for, for 40 minutes and listen to the new album. Yeah.

unless it's a tech nine album and then set aside two hours yeah or yeah exactly now um i used to this is how i was i was very sad when video game stopped shipping with uh proper manuals oh sure yeah because i used to love sitting in my i would go to a thing by a genesis game or whatever go to my car sit in my car for in the parking lot for i don't know how long just looking over the manual page by page do you think that the and obviously when you get a a digital game, it doesn't come with the manual, but when you get a physical game still does? Most of the

time, no, in fact, like, look at your recent switch titles if you have some physical ones. They usually have, like, if anything, like a pamphlet size thing. Most of the time, nothing, though. Or it's an ad. It really sucks.

I mean, now I'm... Phoenix Rising. Nada. Nothing. Like a little... Oh, actually. oh access add-on content thing which i don't know if i ever did huh promotions and crap you'll get that for sure but it's it kind of is a bummer but then again i think i'm completely over physical media

anyway so i don't really care but um i do miss those days where i would just stare at you know halo one weapons in the car or i would you know look at all the all the ways mario could jump in full color too they didn't usually didn't skimp you know the three books you read this last weekend. Digital or print? They were all on Kindle. Kindle. Yeah. So the digital technically, I suppose. I still prefer physical books over digital. That's probably why, you know, last week when it came time for me to do my homework,

I pick something physical that I had access to rather than the digital thing that would have been very easy for me to download and get probably for free with my, you know, Tina's Kindle subscription. Yeah. The Unlimited's pretty good. They have a big selection. It's a surprising sometimes how much stuff something. there but yeah the one i'm even including the one i'm reading now and a lot of people are like well scott why don't you just do the the audiobooks as i've stated in amy segment before i get distracted and fall asleep i just can't do it i don't know why don't know why me reading a freaking e-ink

screen is any better but it works totally totally uh puts me to sleep too yeah yeah so i'm uh but i but i also love the feel of a real book so i feel you there i i uh i take your meaning is what i'm trying to say. Oh, good, good. Uh, chat room, this is the most you're going to see of my mega-churched youth pastor wig. I'm taking it off now. All right. It's itching so bad. You've seen it. It's all you get to. Oh. It was creating constriction where I don't want any. Hold on a second. Yeah. Who knew that wigs weren't made for, who knew that wigs weren't made for a huge heads? No kidding. Also, someone with that much hair, how do you hear anything in headphones? I just, now you're suddenly coming in and booming stereo whereas before you were like a tin can

muffled uh sure sure that so this is going over here we're done with that i've done my duty i did something for halloween that was my goal i put on a wig good enough all right good excellent good anyway happy halloween you did your part you played your part happy Halloween yes and and all of you at home be safe uh but also know that this whole idea that anyone laces candy with fentanyl is utter bullshit you may as well be uh razor blade mom freak out from the 80s all right just calm down uh nobody fentanyl nobody wants to put their pro give their product away for free their product okay exactly fentanyl is expensive they're not going to rub it on a snickers no they don't care why would they do that that makes no sense it's

the dumbest paranoid thing i've ever heard in my life all right let's uh also pick your neighborhoods like sure i'm not you know not one to discriminate but if you're that worried about it go to a play you know what you're more likely to get laced with some shit in a rich neighborhood anyway because they're weird because they get it well because because drugs are expensive right that's where the drugs are and those and the people in the rich neighborhoods uh they've got money to burn and fentanyl they can rub on their snickers yeah and they'll probably even do it by accident because they're just like sloppy you know uh what's this i don't know it looks powder anyway here you go kid like they're not even thinking about it all right wicked kitten time

everybody and you might say yourselves hold on who's that well you may have heard her many times on our play dates and of course our are uh the other thing we do what's it called uh couch party and uh she also is a bit of a horror freak she loves the horror she likes the movies she has a show called gore she's all about the harrow all about the hara i even have a little thing for her Welcome to the show, Monica. Hello, Wicked Kitten, Monica. Hi, I'm having a panic attack right now because I cannot find the YouTube that's playing in my ear. Oh, that's fun.

Because I have YouTube and Twitch open for some strange reason. Well, here's what you have to do. All you have to do is you have a mute tab or a sorry, mute thing. What do you call it a plug-in, an ad on your browser? And then all you got to do is hit that. So install this plug-in while all this is going on. And we'll wait, we'll wait, enable it. Yeah, this is the perfect time for it.

Yeah, don't worry. Make sure you read it carefully. Don't just say I accept. That is the spookiest part of the whole thing is the Yula. Hey, do you, I've seen your backdrop, of course, a million times before. The pumpkin is just for Halloween, though, right? Or do you have that up there all the time? Yeah.

Well, for the month of October, the group podcast takes over, wait, you haven't seen. and so every for five weeks in a row we we have tied up Travis and forced him to have us on his show and so I had this backdrop for the live stream nice is your room always this red it's so red in there very Halloween I made it orange it's supposed to have like oh it's supposed to be orange because it looks like you've taken one of those 1970s lamps and draped a very thin red scarf over it like like he used to do in old movies yeah it's supposed to be pumpkin colored Gotcha. Okay. All right. Well, I think you've done a good job. Yeah, I've done a great job.

Now you say it, I can see the orange. It's orange. Yeah, we'll give it orange. We put the spider web up. I love this. Oh, yeah. You get a little spider web on the corner of Brian in your video. I got one there too. I got blood in our dual screen. I got blood running down the screen and then it loops. I went all in. I'll just pull it up and make it mute. I spared no expense today. That's awesome. Wow. Spared no expense. Or by that, I mean, I didn't.

downloaded some stuff and made it work. Yes. I downloaded some free stuff and spared all expense. All expense. No expense was paid. Anyway, it's good to have you here. The reason you're on today is because we want to talk about not only because of your show Gore, you guys cover a lot of horror movies and stuff. And I've been watching a lot of them. And Film Sack's done their share for Sactober, but I want to get a couple of things out of you. First of all, a text from a listener has a question for you.

And I didn't prepare you for this. Oh, God. Yeah, she's, she is unprepared. So are you ready for your big question? You all set for this? Yeah, I'll peek through my fingers like I do when I watch a horror movie. All right, no problem. That's what everyone in New Jersey does.

That's the New Jersey hand signal. Cover your face. That's exactly right. This is a text from dead to rights, DED to number two rights, cool name. Says this, can you ask Monica what her favorite horror film of all time is and why? That's an easy question. That's not so hard. okay so this just recently like sometimes you got to change things because like you get affected by a movie again or or something so about 2015 I went to go see the movie Jaws in the theater yeah so there I am sitting there with John Williams music like rushing through my ears and stuff and so that became my favorite horror movie until recently and then I rewatched Alien well not in the movie theater but I rewatched Alien and

realized that there's just so much I love about that movie. I don't know. I guess I go back and forth, but it's like Jaws or Alien. Could I do that? Yeah. That's fine. I like that they're both, I don't know, I'd call them non-traditional horror movies, yeah. But I would, they're not slasters.

They're not, you know, ooh, or any, haunted anything. Right. It's like, ooh, scary shark. Ooh, you know. Technically, technically, Slashers is my favorite genre. I'm the one on the show who loves all the slashers. and Friday the 13th being my favorite Friday of 13th the film is your favorite

the original the series in general the franchise I think it's one of the best franchises in all of horror franchises basically because it just has like the most well so we talk about this on the show a couple of times

but like Halloween like Travis is you know he thinks it's like probably the best one of the best horror movies of all times right? And it is a very well-made movie. It's a good movie. But then you get to the rest of the series and like, you know, four is kind of bad and five is kind of bad. Six is terrible. You know, like you get diminishing returns and then, you know, you get some better ones later on. But when you go to Friday the 13th, most of the movies are, you know, they're either, you know, really good or okay. Like you get maybe like one bad one in the bunch. And so I've re-watched. I have the entire Blu-ray series of Friday the 13th. 15th behind me. Oh, my God. But also... Is there...

Go ahead. I was going to say... But also, did you know Friday the 13th, the original film with Kevin Bacon, with delicious Kevin Bacon, was filmed in New Jersey? Really?

Did they ever tell you that? No. No, I didn't know that. In fact, the entire Crystal Lake thing is up there, right? The whole deal. Yes. And you went...

I actually went there. You went and visited it. So was this like an official, like an event, or was it just a tour they have all the time? They only do it around Halloween? Or did you just go there and walk around and on your own.

Yeah. Oh, man, that's scary. I would be freaked out. Could be. Yeah. So before they started these tours up, I think it was like the, I think they said 2011 or something like that. Before that, people would come and try to see the camp.

And it's called Nobighbosco, which is like North Bergen Boy Scout camp. It's owned by the Boy Scouts. So you're not really allowed to be there during the summertime because, you know, the Boy Scouts are there. Sure. And. No girls allowed. So they had the horror fans that would come and try to hang out of the lake and they'd have to stop them.

So they started up these tours because then it would give more like a regulated way for horror fans to come and see the camp. Right. So all of the tours run from about maybe like April, May to October. And it's basically the counselors that work at the camp during the summer. they take us on this tour and they show us all like the spots where um it was filmed basically that's cool wow yeah so did you get to see like uh i don't know where kevin bacon got stabbed underneath the bed up through his gut or whatever you get to see that yes i got to be in the same cabin where kevin bacon was stabbed through the bottom of the bunk or whatever into his

neck i took a picture and i was like i now stand in a room where kevin bacon existed and was. Wow. So it's a, and it's just a regular cabin, right? Like, it's not, they don't have it roped off or, or you can't, there's not a bed to get on or anything, or is there a bed you can't get on? That'd be great. Yeah. I mean, they still use a lot of the stuff for the camp. I mean, it's, you know, like, it's a Boy Scout camp, so it's just like, there's a bunch of crappy stuff. Not everything is still there, because it's been 40 years, by the way, over 40 years. Yeah. But a lot of these places still exist, and obviously the lake still exists. We had, like, we went to where they, you know, they had to turn the power on, and that's really where the power is for the camp, the generator.

Because they don't get electricity from the state. They get, they have a generator for the camp. Oh, they're off the grid in there. Which is like the beginning of every horror movie, right? The killer, like, shuts off the generator and then plunges everybody into darkness. That's hilarious, yeah. I don't know why I thought, I would have thought, I don't know why. That's crazy to me.

They're off the grid. I guess that makes sense, though. You're trying to teach him how to rough it or whatever. So whatever lights you have are minimal. That's the other thing. Yeah. The area that it's in, there is no cell reception. So as soon as, and I'm like, so I'm with my, my co-host and future Cthulhu de dreadlord,

or better known on the show is Wesley, the game code guy. And he is from Belgium. And so he's driving the car, the rental car. and he has never driven on American roads that are so dark it's just pitch black and like it's just our headlights lighting the way and watching out for deer and like these roads are like I've seen these all my life then we get to the road where the camp is on

I thought we were going to be murdered just driving on that just approaching the camp site it was like little tiny ravines on the side so don't tip your car over there's just barely enough room for two cars to go past each other But no cell reception So we get there We have to put our phone in airplane mode Because the guy's like

We don't want your phones to die while you're here No Yeah because they'll constantly be trying Yeah Again, just like a slasher film Oh I'm not getting a signal I can't call the police or call for help Yeah

Exactly It is It was my God Okay so I'm gonna say like a couple things Like they don't let you record anything Like with the like I can't constantly record like I'm not allowed to record the person giving the tour it's like very frowned upon because these people

they're like they just do it for fun and for the you know for the fans yeah but what's the harm in it is it just they just don't want they want more people to come they don't want people to avoid it because they've already heard it or whatever right or it's not because they're not making up scary shit like oh if you record your mark wake the ghost of whatever you do

don't take this home and Google it you won't find it online yeah no I think I think you could find a lot of the information. Like, I knew most of the stuff anyway, because I'm just such a huge fan. And the guy was, like, really nice that gave the tour and just gave us, like, extra background and showed us the stuff. And one of the great thing is, oh, my God, I forgot the name of the woman.

But the final girl from the first movie, whose name is escaping me, Alice in the movie. Oh, Alice in the movie. I'm so sorry, lady. You're not talking about the mom, not the mom, right? Not the mom, but the final girl. And she was keeping a diary during the filming of the movie. And so when she came and visited the camp, she gave them a lot more information about where things were. So they were able to put more stuff on the tour of where things were actually filmed.

So there's like we got to walk around. We got to go to the lake and the scene, like see exactly where they filmed the, where he, you know, Jason jumps out of the water. Sorry, spoilers. Go watch the movie. And that scene. Oh, no. He jumps out of the water. What? I can't believe it.

That's a shocking turn of events. Hold on a second. So like when, okay, I'm sorry, I have to clear this up. The Kevin Bacon scene, correct me on this, because you're such a fan of the film. When that, whatever, was it an arrow that came up through the bed? Yes. Okay. Was he, he was in the middle of like doing it when that happened, right?

No, he was smoking a doobie. Oh, that's right. So what am I thinking of? There was a woman, but there was a. girl in the room with them, right? No, she had left to go to the bathroom. Okay, so now that's the question because I have in my head, burn into my head that there is a killing in,

I thought it was Friday the 13th and maybe it's another sequel, or maybe I'm thinking of a Freddie movie, but there are two people doing it and something comes up through, a couple of that's part two. That's two. That is part two, and that actual kill is taken from another movie called Bay of Blood, which is like an older

Italian horror movie where they do the same thing. They basically, basically scare the, you know, writhing people who don't actually look like they're doing much of anything, really. Riding people. Oh, no, kill the dry humpers. Yeah.

Well, I mean, okay, Amy and the chap said it pretty well earlier. She said, these movies were designed to scare kids into not having sex. And I'm not saying. Smoking dope, too. Yeah, yeah. You know, basically any time you did something bad, it was like, oh, you're next.

Yeah, it's definitely a thing. but I like yeah and that that's the thing like it's most of these things they're supposed to be it's just like anything in a movie like we were talking about this because we were watching a Halloween last night and you know they sorry to spoiler this but they kill Jason oh Jason Michael kills a dog in that movie and like immediately when you kill a dog in a movie it makes you the bad guy so they give you these things which make you like the good the good person the bad person and who you know who deserves it right because people who smoke dope and have sex like they deserve to be murdered yeah yeah that doesn't really work nowadays but back then it was so ingrained in you that you should just never have sex or drink or have fun at all yeah yeah which made the movie count tantalizing because three things were happening two forbidden fruits someone's smoking a dubage and then you got and then you're doing it and then the third thing the triumvirate moment is getting an arrow up the bed through your neck you know and nobody wants that in their life so they were trying to like

hide these things together. Well, we persevered. Everybody still has sex. So take that. Still doing it. Still smoking dope. Can I show you the coolest thing we got? Sure.

So these, they sell these in the gift shop. It's a little empty jar. That's lake water? Empty jar. Yes. And they let you on the tour when we go to the lake. They allow you to fill it with water. I now have Jason water.

Oh, I want that. I want Jason water. Oh, hilarious. That's awesome. Water so bad. That's awesome. You should buy more and resell them for a higher price. That's what you should do. You should just get a bunch of cheap glass vials. Get some labels printed up on label genius and sticker genius. You could do it. That's the other part of the tour. So part of what they do is the money from these tours. It goes to not only support the Boy Scout camp itself, but it also goes to a nearby camp, which is for kids with cancer and stuff like that. So they can go to the camp. for free. And so that's a good thing.

And then anything in the gift shop, I believe that goes to just support the tours continuing. That's a good reason to buy them. Yeah, I take it back. Don't try to resell them on eBay. Just, you know, you've got to help. Well, I could. Like that, there's no rule against that. But, like, it's right.

You could. How should you? Would you take a drink of Jason water? No. Oh, come on, Monica. Here's your chance right here on the air. we could do it right now you could drink no i don't want her to get gartia no way no oh good point yeah it is a murky gross yeah yeah it is boy scout they i mean they

probably i mean they chose it for a reason right like who probably in there yeah dude because it's boys and they poop in lakes if you yeah listen to core yeah bo's only always pee in a lake bo's only a few hundred miles north of that i think so uh you know you probably has Bo's poop in it. Yeah, you never know. Did a little lake run down in Jersey. Who wants to buy Bo's poop water? So was there any time in this tour where you were a little freaked out or it was

like scary at all or any of that? Yes. Well, to drive in for sure. Well, that for sure. But like, you know, when they're walking around telling you stuff, do they lean into like, this is where, blah, blah, or is it just like, here's where they filmed this? No, they don't, they really don't lean into trying to scare you because it's not really about

that. But we did pick the latest tour. We picked the last tour possible as well. And so it was pitch black. And so the scariest parts were that there were no lights and there was a part that was incredibly steep with slippery rocks. And I almost biffed it and died and not by Jason. Horrendous in the dark. Oh, my God.

No kidding. It's like you don't want to say, people say, how did you die? Oh, at Crystal Lake. Oh, cool. No, I slipped on a thing. Yeah, but now I'm like, now I give complete respect to the people in this movie, like, running around away from Jason. Like, now I get why you fell, because, like, I almost fell. And I wasn't running.

I was walking. You experienced the trope of the woman running away from the slow-moving slasher and falling down, having a hard time getting up. Yeah. But now I have less respect for Jason because, like, yeah, of course you caught up to them. Like, you're familiar with this lake. I mean, he had to walk on that treacherous course, too. Like, he, you know, you can have some respect for Jason for doing that with a hockey mask on. Yeah.

No peripheral vision. Technically, he didn't, you know. Well, he did later, right? Where did the mask show up, too? Or is it three? Three. Three. It didn't show up until three.

That's so crazy. Because none of us think of it that way. All of us have it on our heads that he was masked up the entire eff in time. From jump. Yeah, exactly. And even though I know it's not true and that he, his only real appearance. and that first movie is jumping out of the water at the end. Spoilers.

But even though I know that, I still want to picture him, oh, that's actually led me to a question. There's that remake in 2014 or something, kind of a reboot, 2013, whatever it was. 2009. Oh, my gosh, was that old? What did you think of that? You're so good at years. I know, I'm great at him.

What did you think of that thing? Because I thought it was pretty good at the time, but I haven't visited in a while, And I don't know how Pyrus feel about the reboot. So, like, for me, it wasn't, it wasn't anything special. It wasn't, uh, it wasn't spectacular. It wasn't bad, in my opinion. But also we had the Nightmare on Elm Street remake that came out at the same time, which was terrible.

Yeah. No, it was. No, I'm not, I'm not going to defend it. I mean, there were things I liked, I like Jackie Earl Haley. Yeah. Yeah, he did a good job, but it doesn't have the same charm and the fun of the, the, the, And the face. Like, you cannot, like, that face was just, it felt so wrong.

I think I've completely forgot about the face because I can't remember what he looked like. Did he wear a mask? The only mask I can picture on Jackie Earl Haley is the one, the inkblot mask from watching. I mean, he has the burned mask, right? It was, you know, because they, they jumped on, the storyline, they jumped on Freddie being more than just a child killer and so that made some fans feel like uncomfortable because like we never grew up thinking that he was like you know a creepy like you know we just thought he killed people like you know so the the new movie kind of weighed heavy heavier on that aspect of it and it like

honestly made me feel uncomfortable but you know I'm sure some people liked it well I mean the old ones are kind of cartoonized version of that concept like they just allude to his history they don't really dig into it. And I could see why a modern take might get writers and producers to go, you know, what if we really dove into the psychosis of this man and made it much worse than whatever? And I could see that working in the right hands, but it just sounds, I haven't seen it yet, so I don't, I don't have a judgment on this movie, but I always was curious about it. Oh, yeah, there he is with this stuff.

So he's still all burned up. He just looks weird. He just looks different. Yeah. And that's the thing. Like, you look at, you can remake. Michael Myers. He doesn't talk, right? He wears a mask. As long as you get a good mask, that remake worked. I'm not going to talk about Rob Zombie, okay? Um, but, you know, Jason the same thing. You love him. You love him. You're super into him. That's the thing. That's the truth. No offense to Rob Zombie. I have respect for him, but, uh, I don't tend to like his movies.

I understand. Sure. Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I think I might be there with you, but well, that's a discussion for another day. Like Eli Roth. I have so much respect for his, like, he knows so much about horror movies. He is a super fan. He's great. I tend to not like his movies, but I'm excited for the one that's coming out soon. The Thanksgiving one, that looks like it's going to be freaking great. Oh, yeah. Let's see. Where is it? It is called, I can tell you. I see that Freddie, right in center, by the way. Oh, yeah. Shit. Can't find it. But, yeah.

It's called Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. Is it just called Thanksgiving? Oh, is that it? I'm pretty sure. Unless it is called Thanksgiving. I can't find his freaking director shit for some reason. 90B, whatever. 90B is being weird.

Oh, here it is. Okay. It is called, oh, wow, he's got a lot going on. Yeah. Oh, it's just literally, yeah, you're right. Literally called Thanksgiving. Comes out this year. Yeah.

And then Borderlands comes out next year. For some reason, he's directing Borderlands based on the video game. Oh, it is based on the video game. Oh, that's kind of cool, actually. Interesting. The worst thing he ever made, I thought, was those hostile things. I hated hostile. I guess he only did hostile one, but, oh, no, he did two as well.

I hated the hostile movies. I don't think I've seen any of the hostile movies. They were a combination of really shitty acting and just torture porn. Just the worst kind of torturing, gory, I'm going to slowly pull your eye out. Like, there wasn't actually anything scary. It was just awful. Yeah. It was, it was, and that's the thing about, like, torture porn stuff. It's done for, just for shock value and no reason whatsoever, which is why I really don't like when they put some of the Saw movies in there, too, because some of the Saw movies are, like, have great story behind them. Like, the original Saw and Jigsaw and Saw X, which I just watched recently, by the way. It's got, like, a nice story. Yeah.

Which, one of the other horror fans I know, they were like, it was like a, it was. It was like a hallmark saw movie. Oh my gosh. I'm sorry people have like emotions and stuff happens. Like it's, you know. No, I, dude, I saw that movie. Now that you say that, that is actually kind of funny. That's like, it's like a rated R.

It is. It's absolutely like a rom-com horror movie. That's funny. I don't, don't watch X. X disturbed me. I didn't like X. I will recommend, by the way, I think it just came on streaming today. Hulu, I believe, The Haunting in Venice, the third of the Hercule Poirot movies,

which is easily the most horrific and horrifying of the series. Oh, wow. They're bringing it back to theaters for a couple of days, so I'm going to watch it Wednesday night, tomorrow night. That's tomorrow night. Yeah. Yeah, that's surprisingly scary for, you know, what? you would think would just be a typical murder mystery film, but it's, oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. By the way, I didn't know this, but Thanksgiving is based entirely, just like machete, machete was, on that grindhouse thing, Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez deal.

Oh, really? It was one of the, it was one of the commercials. Was it really? Okay. Yeah. That's great. We've been waiting for it a long time, as well as don't. Don't. Oh, is there one called don't? I don't remember. There was a trailer in between, and it was called Don't, and the movie was, like, a bunch of different scenes of, like, a horror movie, and it was just like, don't. And then, like, it would show something else, and then it would be like, don't. And then the don't just kept getting faster, don't, don't, don't, don't. And then, like, at the end, it just went, like, don't.

It feels like that should be a Jordan Peel film, though. It does. Oh, my gosh, dude, yes. Jordan Peel needs to make don't. Yeah, he only, his contract is, I can only do one-word scary movies. Get out. Two-word movies, and that's it. That's great.

Get out us? Nope. Well, here's what I'm going to recommend people do. Check out the podcast, Gore. That's Gore with a G. And the reason you should check it out is because they talk about horror stuff all the time. If you're a horror fan, no better day than Halloween to tell you about it. Sounds like you guys are talking about Halloween, Halloween 1, or what are you doing?

What's your latest episode? What's the plan? So the latest episode is Halloween 3. We've been going through the Halloween movies since the beginning of the show. So that means we've, you know, this is year's two. This is the season of the witch one. right? The kind of no Michael Myers in it. Yeah, people love this one. Yeah, that's so weird. In my opinion, my number one favorite, Travis is number two favorite.

Interesting. Okay. Yeah. I never saw it. I should watch it. I want to see it now because everyone says the best. Can I recommend one movie before I go? Of course. Yeah, of course. Man, I didn't realize I was going to talk so much about the camp. But I just want to put like a little bit of a spotlight on this movie called The Blackening. It came out in 2022, but it released around here. in June 16th of 2023, it basically takes the trope of, you know, the black person dies first and kind of puts it on its ear. It's like an all black cast. It's so funny and so meta and so great. And I really want more people to go watch this movie. Yeah, here it is. We can't all die first as their tagline. I love that. Exactly. No way. That's hilarious. I love that. You have to watch it. Wow. It's fantastic. I mean, is it just pure parody? Is it like, you know,

the scary movie series or what's the deal it's still like they're still slasher they're still you know people getting killed and things happening but it's also really meta and really funny um I think it's like the perfect mix of those two things so it's not too spoofy because I'm not like a big fan of like

um like the scary movie movies yeah although I haven't seen a lot of them it's uh they have their fans but they're basically just scream scream parody yeah and it's it's you know it was great with the Zucker brothers are doing stuff like that because they could really do it well

and then people just came and said, oh, we could totally do that ourselves. Yeah. It's like a little airplane. Yeah. Airplane. I love baseball. Yeah, of course. All that stuff's great. They started getting too weird. They just got too done.

I don't know if they even work in a modern day, but whatever. I'd like that the two, the only two white actors in your film the blackening are Dietrich Bader as Ranger White. That's fantastic. And George Fisher as creepy old guy.

So there you go. Yeah, the token white people. Check it out, the blackening. Where is that? Is that streaming anywhere right now? Um, oh, crap. I should have checked that. Uh, Prime.

Well, Prime has it for rent. I don't know if, uh, well, of course they're going to advertise it. They own it. I don't know. Just watch. No. Just watch. Now watch.

Watch it now. Watch it now.com. Uh, shit out of watch.com. Um, shit out of watch. Oh, here it is. Uh, is currently screaming on. On stars. Yeah, all the stars.

That's that thing. Yeah. Or you can go rent it and it's currently 120 second on the list of just watched daily streaming charts. Just below us and just above Terrifier, too. It's a decent company. And Gore has a website. So if you want to check out the podcast, it is gorepodcast.com. You can listen to all the shows.

You can search for movies that maybe we've done. You can find the links to all the cool show hosts. I love it. That's how websites work. I love it. Go check it out. Made my bump. Yeah.

And enjoy. Enjoy your show. Continue to enjoy that. We love having you on all this other stuff we do. Thank you so much, Monica. Stay out of trouble and don't let anyone ever call you Nicole. All right. Bye.

She lets me do it all. I was waiting for that, actually. It's amazing. Yeah, good. The blackening on my list. Thank you for that. Oh, why am I? blogged out of just watch. All right, whatever. Let's not worry about it right now, shall we?

Let's move on to some news. We need to inform as well as entertain. So here you go. Today's news brought to you by. Just a shout out to Frog Pan's Tadpooler, Knight X Mayor. That's right. That dude's cool. It's going through some stuff. Just want to let him know we got his back. Tadpool's a big, big supportive group. And I hope he is doing well today. Yeah, all right. Let us move forward with this story. It's actually a holder from yesterday. A cargo of fireworks explodes into a two-hour, excuse me, an hour-long light show after Highway 1 crash near Hope, British Columbia. Oh, man. Can you imagine? Now, it's one thing to have a crash. It's another to have a crash and then something ignite and just keep igniting and keep going. Oh, my God. An hour long, that's the part that blows my mind. An hour long. Yeah, for an hour. And I don't, they don't really get into how standoffish the police or responders had to be,

but I'm guessing they had to let it burn out a little bit, right? Just let it go. I would think so. Yeah. Because what else are you going to do? Well, I mean, yeah, just like, exactly, let it run its course. We'll just sit here. Just go and just let it go.

Yeah, just let it do what it's going to do. It's like food poisoning. Let's go ooh and awe over each one. Here's the story. A collision on the Trans-Canada highway east of Vancouver resulted in an hour-long Light show on Thursday night after a crash caused a cargo of fireworks to ignite. I like, is that a measurement in Canada? It's a cargo of fireworks.

A cargo? No, I think it's just a truck's cargo. It's just got shit in it, yeah. No, but I do like that, yes. How many, uh, 10 bits are you bringing over? Oh, I'm bringing over a cargo. Oh, that's a lot. The cargo of them, hey?

Yeah. RCMP said a semi-trailer, traveling eastbound, collided with a pickup truck. a trailer full of fireworks that was parked on the side of the road about 10 kilometers or kilometers, if you prefer, it's fine, west of Hope, BC. The crash, which happened around 10 p.m., caused the fireworks to go off, results in flashes and explosions above the highway. Carpal tunnel, Cameron Keener. What is, is that corporal, CPL? Yes, corporal. It's short for corporal.

It's short for carpal tunnel, yes. So, uh, corporal, uh, Cameron Keener, geez Louise. Carmen, Carmen, sorry, Keener with chiliwack RMCP. There's a lot of C's, is all I'm saying, and a K in there, a lot. Uh, said the incident, uh, closed highway one, eastbound for an hour until the fireworks eventually stopped. They just had to burn out. Obviously, the fireworks were, uh, were quite the display to pass her bys. I'm guessing that rubber neck the hell out of that traffic. Oh, yeah, but I mean, it seems like, It seems like you could just be anywhere and watch it.

You wouldn't have to slow down right in front of the truck. I think you could sit there and just watch it from a distance. Yeah, just look up and go on. Lawn chairing your back trunk and just sit back. Let's watch the hour-long fireworks show from this crash. The scary bit is if some of them are going to go parallel or not go up. Right, right. Lateral is the word I meant.

So, yeah, that thing will fly across the highway, go right into your back seat, you and your dog in there, just minding your own business. Oh, boy. God, I know, yeah. Anyway, careful up there, Canada, with your fireworks and your whatnot, you're going to blow off a finger. Let's move on to this story. Around, okay, I didn't quite know what to make of this, so I had to read it. I read the entire article.

Okay. Around 10%, this is the headline, around 10% of the internet, the thing we're using right now. Yeah. For you and I to communicate, for us to broadcast this out to the people. For the Gore podcast website. That's right. All of it. Internet, right?

In fact, everything in my life is Internet now. Well, 10% of that Internet is encrypted via lava lamps. See, it sounds insane. Why? You explain, Scott. I know, it does sound insane on the face of it. We don't want to sound completely unhinged, says this article, like someone yelling sharks that have been around the galaxy twice. They have, what does that mean? Sharks have been around the galaxy twice.

So sharks are old enough that the... spiral arm has made it around twice. I get it. I've never heard anyone refer to... I've never heard that either, but that's fascinating. I'm more curious about the second one, too. It says McFlurries look the way they do because of hedgehogs, and then they say they do, but then they don't tell us more. They don't explain why, yeah. So that's a future...

That's a Bobby article. Bobby explain why McFlurys look the way they do because of hedgehogs. Yeah, please do. Some sonic connection, maybe? I don't know. maybe maybe they had a promotion for sonic and they tried to make the top of them look hedgehoggy oh maybe that's that's pretty good completely making that up i have no idea yeah um but it says here and this is true around 10% of the internet is encrypted via lobbalamps encryption is the most basic form blah blah blah we talk about this uh though now associated with computing encryption has been around for centuries the first recorded cipher dating back to around 400 bCE used by spartan military officers to secretly communicate this

is spabartipar they'd say because that's like encrypted right this is madness this is madness this is madness I like that they say the real words they just do it in a kind of robotic way they just do it in a robot place

that's how it's encrypted that's amazing I can figure out what they're saying it's all encrypted so let's see lava lamps the part of the article I need I didn't actually put in here hold

I can explain it if you want because it's all cloud flare which I use for all my sites, but they have a wall of these lava lamps and a camera pointed at them. And this camera uses, they've got a computer and some code tied up to this camera that uses the randomness of the way the wax moves in the lamp

to turn it into numbers and letters. And they use that as an encryption that is unhackable because it's not data in, data out. You can kind of say, oh, well, computer takes this data in, uses this number of milliseconds, and puts this data out as a, as a, now you're absolutely correct. One part of the article, they don't get into those, the part I have questions about, what if a lava lamp burns out or breaks or falls or goes, like, what do you do? Do you just replace it with another lamp and now you refresh your numbers?

Because all it is is just sitting there, it's just sitting there blooping. There's no other connection other than this camera is pointed at it, looking at the different bloops and blurps. Right, right. I have an encryption device right here, Scott. Oh, look at that right down there. Is it on? Is it hot?

It's warm. It has not fully heated up yet, so it's not, it's not heated up to the point where the... You got a floater, though? The loop. I do have a floater. It's interesting how that works, right? Because, like, you've got this big old chunk down at the bottom. Yeah.

and the bottom is all melted. Oh, yeah, you can see some... Oh, yeah, some particulates. Brody floaters in there. Yeah. But then you've got this little bit up top that is light enough to float. And, you know, it's supposed to be that when it heats up, it lightens up, gets to the top, cools off, hardens, and then comes back down. But this, that little piece stayed up top.

Weird. So does that, that looks like a, it's like a regular bottle top on those things, usually? It's just a little bottle cap. Yeah, I could go... And what is it? What is in there? Is it just water? Is it oil?

It's just water. Water and, um, it seems to, it doesn't seem as viscous as oil. Like when you see an actual, like, bubble go up in there, it moves up really quickly. So I think it's just water and wax. Okay. So that's simply, that's all it's ever been, water and wax. It's all it's ever been. There is no lava, believe it or not.

This is like, I feel, I'm having deja vu. It was like when I was a kid and I wanted to tear open my, um, my stretch armstrong, see what was in there. Oh, right. It was all sand. Yeah. Sand. And then I guess these days it's some kind of goo, some kind of viscous like, I had a squeeze toy like this. I guess I don't have it anymore, but I used to have it right here by the desk. Yeah, it's like a gel. Yeah, and it's sticky and horrible. Do not open those. Yeah, it's stuff you get at trade shows, the swag you get from the trade shows that goo covered in a cloth with a logo on it. It felt like it lasted 10 squeezes and then it popped and that was bad time.

We have clarification, it's mineral oil. Grand Ellis and Merrick says it's mineral oil, and then the wax is paraffin wax and carbon tetrachloride. Oh, interesting. Okay. And this has been the, this is the standard for lava lamp since they happened in the 60s or whatever. I think so, yeah. All right. So nobody's sitting around.

Ooh, corn syrup. What's the corn syrup? So I don't know if mine's definitely not viscous enough to be corn syrup. oh they're talking about the stretch armstrong the new uh oh right goo is uh the new goo is some some kind of derivation of that yeah and they and they take a lot more of a beating if the outer stuff is good if the outer dermis is like strong your stretch armstrong will last for a much longer time than they didn't we're kids because the right the same or the the the the starchy i think it was literally corn starch before not corn syrup or i don't know i don't know what they use now but whatever that

stuff is if you get it out of the thing you'll regret it it will never come out of everything it's like glitter you'll never get all of it up no it'll be sticky forever you can gog on all you want till the day is long and you're still not gonna get rid of it free rangers says what a love lamp has no actual

love in it I've been lied to my whole life I know free rangers wait till I tell you about baby oil oh baby oil it's no babies no babies not even powders baby baby powder isn't babies either you think that'd be easier you get powder form babies but sure powder one baby yeah and before any of you say gross guys it's halloween okay yeah come on we're doing

halloween shit here on the halloween special uh here's a Halloween story for you a tarantula you know the tarantulas uh spider units deals you're familiar with those I'm familiar it is I do love it because it is very hey Paul you're familiar with the tarantulas you know what I got I got I got a letterment in my blood. I can't help it. It's not even mimicry. It's just like I watch so much of it. It's just ingrained in you, yes.

Just part of me. Hey, yeah, Paul. Hey, Paul, you're familiar with the tarantles? Ah, yeah, I had, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ha. Harry, like, things. That is what they do. And if I had a song connection. To go along with it.

Yeah, and if they had a song, if it reminded them of any kind of song, popular song, they would play a little riff from that song. A little the itsy-bitsy spider or something. Oh, I miss that show. Anyway, tarantula causes a vehicle crash in California's Death Valley. It's already a place you shouldn't go. It's called Death Valley, for shit's sakes. Foreign tourists traveling in California.

That's weird why I do that. Was injured in an accent caused by unlikely culprit a tarantula. And so just so everyone knows, it is not... Some people say tarantula. Wait, no, they say Tarantula. Tarantula. What am I thinking of?

An alternate pronunciation of tarantula? Yeah, when you grow up, kids would say it wrong. I think they would say tarantula, like T.U. And everybody would try to correct you. It was kind of like when they would say, instead of nuclear, they'd say nuclear or nuclear. I mean, I think if I'm saying it, I say tarantula. because I am kind of saying a tarantula.

I'm not doing tarantula. Tarantula. Ah, uh, uh, uh. Well, anyway, this big old hairy spider did this. According to the National Park Service, a traveling Swiss couple, just going dirka, durka, dur down the road, and a rented camper hit their, hit their brakes. We harbored Nazis, dorka, dorka, do.

Anyway, they tried to avoid hitting the spider. The van was in a turn rear-ended, or was in turn rear-ended by a 24-year-old Canadian motorcyclist. Oh, the Canadians are back. Got injured in the accident as well. The spider survived the pile up, escaping into the desert unharmed. Well, thank goodness. The spider's okay.

No kidding. I mean, just, my God, who stops a camper because there's a spider crossing the road? Like, all right, a pair of geese with their little baby goslings. Yeah, absolutely. You know, some ducklings, for sure. A dog, a cat, absolutely. But a little spider lumbering. Oh, we must.

I can't do a Swiss accent. I know I just did Swedish a minute ago, but I can't do a Swiss accent. I can't eat it. Oh, no, we better stop. The marshmallows in our cocoa. And all that sort of thing. I don't know which part of the Alps, the Price's right, cliffhanger was on, but maybe who was on the Swiss side.

Yeah, you have to yodel when you refer to the Swiss. That's right. But yeah, like... Vigola! I would actually hit the gas. I ain't breaking for that. Heck, yeah.

Big old spider. I might. There's nobody behind me. I might even back up over it and drive over it a third time. Freaked my wife out entirely yesterday. I meant to tell you this earlier. She hates spiders to the point that she literally has,

like a, like clinically you can say she has arachnophobia. She hates them. She shuts down when she sees it. Like, can't, like, you need to deal with it. Freezes up, like, get sweaty. Like, the way I would react to Heights is how she reacts to spiders. I don't love spiders, but they don't freak me out like that. Sure.

But there's this Australian spider. I found this photo. And everything in Australia is psycho and wants to kill you. Is it a rid bick? No. No, but it looked. So it was a branch, a tree branch. And then this spider almost looked like a crab because it was a whole.

flattened out. But it flattens itself out completely and wraps around the circumference of the branch. So it looks like the branch. The same color has, it looks like the texture of the tree. It's, you know, it's obviously a camouflage, you know, natural camouflage for this spider. And he lies in wait for other bugs to crawl up to him and then just go, yorpe, and eats them. And I showed her that. All it was was what looked like a stick. Uh-huh. And I had to point out that that that's a spider on that stick wrapped around. It's like the size of a, I don't know, as big as this wig, right? Big old spider on a branch.

And I thought she wasn't going to talk to me for the rest of the day. She hated that so much, drove her up a tree, couldn't deal with it. The rest of the day, she just was pissed and irritated with me that I brought that up. Yeah, I think I'm with her on that. Yeah, I think I maybe shouldn't have shown her that. No, I think it might have been. It might have been a problem. It might have been an issue.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. We'll see how dinner is tonight. Anyway. You're not getting taco bar. Oh, I can't wait. You're basically got to sit on the front porch and hand candy to kids. You're relegated to the porch.

Yep, that'll be me. Put a little straw on my shirt. Jump up and scare them when they come. Anyway, that'll do it for today's news. We'll be have more tomorrow. All right. But we have to take a break. When we come back from this break, Bill Duran will be joining us.

We're going to talk a little bit about the world of making stuff. Yeah, that's right. It's his Tuesday today. Yay. So be prepared for that. In the meantime, a song that Brian Nibitt will explain. Ooh, big thanks to Clarian Call Media for this one. And Carolyn over there who sent this over to me.

This is a band that's about to go out on tour with The Warriors and do some headline shows as well. They're a band called P-A-W-S. Don't spell it with a U. It's not P-A-U-S-E. No, no, no, it's P-A-U-S-E. Like what animals have. Like what all the animals we said that we would stop for when they're crossing the road, except for ducks and geese.

Don't have paws. A brand new album coming out from the band. The album is called, it actually is just called Paws. It is their self-titled debut album. I had to look that one up. This is the first single from it. It's called Uncertain. These guys are awesome.

Here's the band Paws. I am not a man for all, or let alone any scenes, I get the SATs, here you know. We were best We'd just like to know what that means Can anyone tell me Where I am Because someone's going to die I'm certain

I'm sorry for being the overshare, extroverted powder noses, wishing I'd stop making noises. Much of motion on burning Coming forth. Bridges soaked for burning. Most always I am Oh, so Poor little teeter, Lord knows I hear

God knows I'm with you The age of confessional music Is in full cringe Swear and punch lines Folio sounds sweet It feels It feels very awful when I'm certain. I'm certain.

dedicated skin cream. It is a new thing. It is a washing cream. You wash your face with it. Got ringworm on my dong tip. I completely forgot what that clip was. Man. It's a little shocking. Anyway. Threw us off. Yes. Who was that again? So I can remember. Sure. That's pause from the brand new album pause and a song called Uncertain. Oh, I wish the song was also called pause. That would be great. It would be great, right? Like Big Country and a big country from the album, Big Country. Yeah. I'm a fan of that. Talk, talk from the album, Talk Talk, by the band Talk Talk. I knew you'd know these. Of course you know these. Why wouldn't you know these? Living in a box? Yeah. Wait, they have an album called Living in a Box and a song called Living in a Box and a song called Living in a Box. Yeah, yeah. I like that song. I like that one. Every song, every album, or every band should have that. Every band should have, Nirvana should have an album called Nirvana and a song called Nirvana. Yeah, okay.

Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters. I want it all. Well, I'm having a real green day and it's having a real green day. Make me up when this green day ends. I blinked 180, two times. Blink one and eight two. Yeah, I don't know about that. Perfect. Perfect.

This is a really good idea there. Okay, let's do, let's do, what are we doing? Oh, Bill, it's Bill. I know what we're doing, it's Bill. Yeah, we're doing, we're talking Bill. Yeah, Bill. Bill, it's been a bit since we talked to Bill. And now's our chance.

Brian's got a little follow-up for him, plus we're going to find out whatever the hell he's been working on, which I'm sure is awesome and great, because that's what the guy does. Here's his intro right here. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? There's nothing wrong with this, but did I always have a fart on there? I guess it's been a while.

Yeah, I think you did. Yeah. Bill's like, oh yeah, I know that my second has a fart. Bill Durand joining us from PunishProps.com in the Pacific Northwest where I assume things are just beautiful right now this time of year and nice and overcast and chilly and all those things. Is that true? Oh, yeah.

It's good Halloween weather. Yeah, perfect Halloween. Seattle feels like a perfect Halloween town to me for whatever reason. You get a little fog rolling through. Yeah. Yeah, you should get more, there should be more horror movies set in your fine state. and city. Why not? I think they're taking a break after all of those

those vampire movies. The Glintry Vampire movies. Oh, the Twilight movies? Oh, right. Those were all set in on an islander. They actually had a trivia question about that last night. Where were the movies set? We got that one. And what was Bella's dad's occupation?

And we missed that one. We thought, he had a truck. We thought, is he just a truck driver or tow truck driver? So we went with a tow truck driver. But he's apparently a police. chief. Oh, he doesn't work for Microsoft or Amazon. Our original thought was for Boeing.

Well, it's the Northwest. He's a lumberjack. That's what it's got to be. Google, whoever's got offices there. Must work for there. Bungy. Oh, I shouldn't say Bungy. I feel so bad for all these layoffs.

You hear about those layoffs? You have friends there. Are you friends? Are they okay? Are they good? I haven't heard from any of them yet. Oh, man. Freaking Sony buys Bungi,

and then a year later is laying off way too many people. and it's delaying both the new Destiny 2 expansion, the final shape, and then also what's the remake they're doing? Marathon. They're making a Marathon remake, which I loved Marathon back in the day, the shooter Marathon. I was so excited for those things.

Now they're all getting delayed and we're laying people off. Great! One of the best gaming years in history and also one of the highest years for industry layoffs. It makes no damn sense to me. None at all. All right. that's depressing. We're not talking about that. We're going to talk about cool builder stuff. Before we get into

what Bill's been working on, Brian, share your changes and stuff you've done with your Kyber crystal holder. I've talked about these a lot on the show, and I've been making them for a while these Kyber crystal holders for the lightsaber crystals you get at Disneyland. And

came up, like, basically I would print them out on this really cool aqua gray filament, this opaque filament. But they've got holes where the light peaks through, and then you put your crystals in there, and the light comes up through the crystal. And somebody had mentioned, you know, one of my Etsy orders like, oh, I love it, but I wish

you were brighter. I'm like, oh, yeah, I don't know the way. I mean, I could make the holes a little bit bigger, but then they're, you know, the crystals will sit in there kind of weird. And then I took inspiration from your squirrel, Bill, the squirrel you guys made, printed the whole thing in transparent, that smoky black, um, seraiutech filament. but then I painted most of it opaque silver and you can't really tell it's like gunmetal you can't really tell that it's that it's transparent until you turn it on and then you can see the top actually like way more transparent way more light gets through the top of this thing than on the regular that's so much cooler because it gives the crystals like the feeling that they're really intense and totally exactly really really opens it up and I'm like it's So when I first did it, I'm like, oh, this will be so cool.

Turned it on, and the light was still so bright that I had the square outline of the LED that I use poking up through the top of it. So I had to come up with one more thing, and so I used my cricket, and I basically printed a little circular template that I glue or that I stick. It's adhesive. You know, I'll turn the light off. It makes it a lot easier to see. and I put this little template I guess it's really bright maybe that's yeah

I kind of see it yeah that just fuzzes it out or dulls it a little bit it makes it opaque on the places where there aren't crystal rings so it like that was basically the the key factor is like oh my God that's the way to do it is have a little template in there

That's great. It looks nice. Looking good, man. I love it. It kind of gives the crystal a little bit of a force ghost appearance, like a little blue haze around. Oh, that's cool. Yeah.

Is it Coverville 3D on? Coverville 3D on Etsy. There you go. Or just coverville3D.com is a place you can go as well. Yeah, you can see photos of the new one with the transparent, how it looks. And it's also $940 more than the previous design. So get in there. Those cricket labels ain't cheap, folks.

No. all right let's throw it over to bill bill it's a busy time of year for you making all kinds of shiz i saw your gun got finished and i about fell over um what do you working on these days what do you want to talk about well i want to talk about that awesome so i finished my first starfield first of many starfield props i'm sure uh i made the rattler of course we've got a video over on the website and youtube channel um on the build i'm also uh selling the files so if you want to 3D print your own Rattler from

Starfield. Got the files for that. It'll work on both a resin or an FDM printer. I tested it on both and it worked great. Nice. But the real icing on this one was I see and see the grips out of

walnut out of real wood and they just look and feel and smell incredible. They're so good. Well bet, dude. So 3D printed the whole thing, painted it, and then I did wooden grips on my CNC machine. So I'm very happy without that all turned out.

That's so cool. I made a mechanism so that you can pop the magazine out. It's got a little spring in there, so it like snaps back in. Very satisfying to play with. And I'm super happy with how it turned out. I'm already starting another Starfield. So tell me about the wood handles. Do you, you mention the CNC machine and all that?

But what do you, I guess a C&C machine can take a 3D file. This may be educational for some. It definitely will be for me. But take a 3D file and then it's not printing the wood, obviously, but it's cutting it into what you need. Is it as simple as that or am I oversimplifying? Yeah. So if you think about a 3D printing is additive, it adds to what you have there to create an object in 3D space. And the CNC machine is subtractive.

It takes a piece of already existing material and it cuts away everything that is. isn't the piece you want. It's kind of the opposite of 3D printing. But you have a lot more options as far as what material you use with the CNC machine because you don't have to just pick a filament. You can pick whatever material the machine will cut. So mine will do wood, plastics, some non-ferrous metals like aluminum or brass. You can do carbon fiber you can cut on that machine.

There's a lot of material options on the CNC machine, which is pretty cool. Yeah, very cool. So if you want the genuine material, use the CNC machine. Yeah. Oh, this one, you have one of these shots you took where it's all the parts laid out?

Oh, the noled shot. You're killing me. I love that. That's, to me, that's almost as cool. That's, like, everybody's like, hey, we should all get into retro gaming and stuff. What I want to do is tear a Genesis apart and then lay all the parts out like this.

Yeah, and then frame them and put it up on the wall. Oh, it's so awesome, dude. I love it. There's a Noling subreddit, by the way. I thought you're into that. K-N-O-L-L-I-N-G, Knowling. Noling? Let's see.

Yeah. Noling. And you'll find a lot of good gnawing shots. Oh, I love it. Some good old Noling porn. That's right. Load that up after my wife goes to bed. Why is that so fun to look at?

Why is that such a, I don't know what that is. I get like a weird jolt out of it. Man, I love that stuff. Well, very good. Go check this out. The build is amazing. If you're playing Starfield at all, this style will immediately jump out to you and you'll want one.

So spend the nine bucks for the print for the 3D files. Nine bucks. Do you know how much work Bill took to make this and he's only charging $9? That's such a dude. Can I let you my secret on how I price that stuff? Yeah. I price it low enough that people won't want to steal it. Oh, good point.

Yeah, because they could steal it. It's not like this stuff is impossible to steal. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah, no, keep it cheap, keep it. convenient and then people will buy it and hopefully enough people will buy it that bill can become a rich retired man one day or at least i can buy enough resin to make another one damn straight so we also shot another video over on the the youtube channel i took a bunch of space blasters i made

over the last 14 years i started in 2009 i took a whole bunch of not all of them because there's too many, but I did like a retrospective covering a bunch of my old art, which is always really fun. Do you guys ever do this? Go back and look at something you made 14 years ago. Yes. It freaks me out. Like, it's real weird. Although, I don't know, about 10 years ago, I hit a certain, not a crescendo, but I hit a place where I'm basically sort of there still. But anything prior to that, it's hard for me. It's really hard to look at. But to do it publicly, you're a brave man. well I mean all this stuff's public anyway I've already made video videos and that's true but you're but you're dredging it up again you're like hey remember this like what I did well let me let me point out a few things that I noticed by like taking a look back all first of all when I was in the thick of it you know in like 2010 when I was just learning this stuff it felt like it was taking forever to improve from this end of history I feel like I got much better much quicker than I thought. Yeah, it's hard to tell when you're in the middle of it, right?

Yeah, but I can easily see the improvements I made over the years and it seems like it was pretty quick. Yeah. I had a few eras I went through, you know, artists might have their blue period. Well, I definitely had a Skyrim and a Mass Effect and a fallout period. Oh, yeah, for sure. I remember all of these. Yeah. Mass Effect in particular, I felt like you did a lot with Mass Effect at the time. I was casting, I was, when I first quit my day job, I was casting Mass Effect gun blanks for people. That was kind of how I made my lunch money. So I did a lot of that. But I also had eras of different materials.

So when I got started, I was doing a lot of hard surface modeling with like a scroll saw. I was doing a lot of molding and casting back then. Then we definitely went through a foam era. And we're still kind of in the foam era. sure but there was about 2014 was when we started doing that and kind of went nuts wrote a few books and made a lot of costumes uh and now we're kind of in a 3D printing area we um we actually started 3D printing stuff in 2016 which is a little later than most people we're a little late to the game there but we've we've caught up yeah I think you've

caught up just fine also all these disciplines kind of feed together at some point right because now you're using different techniques in the same prop and some of its foam, some of it's casted. Yeah, a lot of stuff transfers. Like a lot of the foam stuff works similar to the way working with leather would work, which is pretty cool. Yeah, more leather. And then, so now we're in the 3D printing area.

Now we still do all of these things. However, I'm very focused on 3D printing nowadays. I'm just having so much fun with it. I just got a Prusa Mark 4. that has input shaping, which makes it almost twice as fast. It's insane how quick this machine is. That's the new, yeah, the new one. I just saw Uncle Jesse had posted a video about that one.

Cool. Oh, I can't wait to hear how that one is. So when you say twice as fast, like, that's a lot for... Yeah. It's a lot for 3D printing. It's shockingly fast. Wow. So I'm really excited to print more on that.

We have a lot more 3D printing projects coming up. The future is here, right? It sure is. What do you think, if you had to guess, and, you know, 3D printing may be the answer, but is there something beyond that where you're like, my next thing will be Moulton tungsten? And, you know, what do you think you enter into after that? I want to do more with metal, which means I want to get a vertical milling machine. I want to do more with the CNC machine and welding.

None of this is new stuff. Right. But it's what I'm interested in next for sure. Yeah. you in a welding mask poking away at stuff. Oh yeah. Actually, I already have a welding mask. I acquired one somehow. I don't know. There's one down there. I'm just missing

the welder. I have a friend who will not watch. He loves watching videos like your stuff like build videos but he won't watch videos where there's welding unless he puts on his welding mask because he's convinced that even though it's a video of the light that he

still needs to wear protective gear for a YouTube video, which I believe. leave is a thousand percent incorrect, but he thinks that that's true. So he wears one methodically every time. It's a little weird. Your TV can only get so bright. Yeah. I feel like it. Does he turn his head if the sun is in a shot? Probably. He seems a little hypervigilant about it. But I tried to explain to him. Like if you took a camera shot of the sun directly, that isn't the same as you staring into the sun. But I guess there's also, maybe there's a part of his human evolution that kicks in and says well i don't know that for sure so i can i shouldn't look at it

because my eyes i don't want i don't want to go blind i don't know it's just a weird thing i thought it is a weird thing so uh angus if you're listening uh that's not his real name we call him angus as a as a joke but uh quit looking and quit doing that everything's fine on video all right you're fine uh bill always a pleasure i wonder if he feels heat from like a burning video you know yeah like an inferno can you smell can you smell can you smell cooking videos? Yeah, yeah, he smells toast all the time. Anyway, Bill, it's punishprops.com, of course, and the punish props YouTube channel as well. And you can always find Bill on all the socials and stuff, usually under twin chin, chin beard or punish props or whatever it may be. Bill,

is there anything else you want to mention before we go? Absolutely. Got a video for everyone to check out. Our pal Ali Spagnola, hard at work. She made a 12-foot skeleton into a disco ball. and it's glorious. But of course she did, because that's what Allie does. Yeah. That is what she does. I saw a clip of this on her

TikTok channel and hadn't seen the full thing yet, but oh, wow. You just take this to a disco. Oh, yeah. This is a lot of work. Happy Halloween. If you don't have one of those in your front yard, then you are behind the curve.

Allie is kicking butt over there, and I wish I had half her energy. God, no kidding. We could all use a little Allie energy in our life. Also, I wish I was working out like Allie. Yeah. She's very healthy. All right, there it is.

Bill Durand, everybody, Punishprops.com. Bill, have a great time, and we'll see you next time. See you, friends. Bye-da. Ba-da. Oh, that is so cool. Look at it all sparkling in the California sun. Oh, wow.

That's great. Also, she has a giant teddy bear. She has an absolutely giant teddy bear. I think she's into giant things. I think she is. I think this is proof. Chia things. Oh my God, that's the size.

That's the size of the, each little square on this thing. So have you seen one of these, I mean, the squares are bigger than you think, but one of these big size scallocons are kind of a big deal around here. Everyone has one.

We've got a neighbor that, I think, went to Spirit Halloween and just said, yeah, I'll take it all. Thanks. Wow. Like, it is their yard is, it looks like the,

um, the, I'm sorry, I'm just fascinated watching this. I shouldn't, she's just working on the oh, what do they call that? The part where the legs connect. Oh, the

pelvis? The pelvis, thank you. Yeah. The crotch, the skeleton crotch. Skelet crotch, yeah. Just that of it. Jeez, Louise. Pelvis, Presley. Anyway. Exactly. But yeah, no, it looks like it's the set of the thriller video or something. It's so decked out. Yeah, it's really awesome. Later in the video, almost toward the end, she puts

in a, I think that broom that she'd painted black and is just aiming lights at it and rotating it. It's really cool. Very nice. Oh, it's fantastic. 500,000 tiny square mirror tiles. 500,000. I love all the little tiny reflections that she gets all over the place.

Yeah, it's amazing. That thing would be worth money. Totally. All right, let's get to one quick thing here at the end of the show. We got a call. This is about naming your kids. We had a whole discussion about this. And so we're going to get a little bit more here.

So enjoy. Hey, Scott and Brian. It's Paul from Toronto, Canada, just calling in. On episode 2537, you were talking at the beginning about funny last name combinations. When my kids were in kindergarten, they had a fabulous kindergarten teacher whose name was Sue Horny. And, you know, everybody kind of giggled about it and everything. Well, when she went to retire, we went to her. retirement dinner for her. And we were talking with her and she acknowledged everybody makes

fun of her last name. But then she revealed that her maiden name was Sue Dick. So if she would have hyphenated it, it would have been Sue Dick Horny. So that's about the funniest one I've ever heard. Have a great day. Oh man. That's rough. That is rough. She's somebody call Barton Mo at Moe's tavern and get a prank call going. I'm looking for Sue. Dick Horny. Is there a Sue Dick Horny here? Yeah, I don't know.

I feel like I could be at the courthouse with my 100 bucks getting the change. Oh, without a doubt, yes. It's a lot. But then again, I don't know, embrace who you are, I suppose. Whatever. Yeah, you know what?

Exactly. Yeah. I could have changed Johnson. Johnson gets some trouble sometimes. Sure. Here and there. What would you have changed it to? Do you have a favorite last name that you would?

I don't know. I've never thought about it. If I was going to keep in the neighborhood, I'd say Jackson. What about Lundgren? Scott Lundgren. Scott Lundgren, that's not bad. That really leans into my Scandinavian heritage.

Yes, it does. Yeah, Scott Lundgren. We could do Scott. Don't listen to do Scott Peterson. That was a murderer. Nope, nope, don't do that one. How about Gunderson?

Scott Gunderson. Perfect. We'll roll into the whole Fargo thing. Yeah, let's do it. Oh, that new season, I can't wait. Yeah, that, oh my God, with Keel. from Ted Lasso.

Oh, I'm so excited. Doing a whole Fargo accent, don't you know? Yeah, everything about that show just gets me so excited. All right, that is going to do it for us. Thank you all for listening. Patreon.com slash TMS is where you can support the show.

We're about to roll over into a new month, and when we do, we'd love to have some new peeps over there. So come check it out and check out all the reasons why. It's over at patreon.com slash TMS. That's going to do it for us today. Except for a song. And Brian brought it in a little box. Brian, what are we playing today in your little box?

box. What's in the box? Yeah, this one's going out to Gary, formerly from Lantronics, formerly from Toy Story Lot B, and now, formerly from Blackspire Outpost in Disney. Hi, Subbulba and Boba Fett, October 31st, will be my last day on Batu in the outer rim of a galaxy far away and a long, long time ago, located at a rodent-themed amusement park slash disease vector in Southern California. Yes, I'm finally retiring. I've been pondering what to request the whose I'm free came to mind, so did take this job and shove it, but that's not mostly how I feel. But I am feeling like school is finally out, especially with all the the

the, um, oh, why am I forgetting the card game that, uh, Han won the Millennium Falcon? Oh, uh, all I can think of is Domjot. Domjot, you pay Domjot. No, that's not it. Yeah. What's that called? That's, uh,

and they played it again in solo. They had a whole thing. Sabak. Sabak. Because he used to, Gary used to walk around and teach people how to play Sabak. It was so cool. And I think when he comes to TMS Vegas, he needs to teach us all to play Sabak. I think that would be great. So please play a cover of Alice Cooper's Anthem to Freedom from the man, or the mouse, for me, given the way scheduling works my last day, maybe October 28th through the 31st, so please try to fit this in late October, early November. I'll leave it to the covermeister. Great appreciation for

entertainment efforts. However, Gary the senior game. Hang on. This is for Gary as he leaves. A little Mandalorian love at the end. Like, see you, Gary. Don't let the Batu hit you on the way out or whatever. I'm sure, you know, when he's taking his cardboard box with all his stuff in it, there's like a guy in a Mandalorian costume escorting into the front of the park saying, this is the way. Yeah, this is the way. And then, but two stormtroopers to be the guards, though.

got to be on the side. They've got to escort him out. Yes, exactly. Love it. All right. This is what I'm surprised we haven't played on the show before because it is my favorite cover of Schools Out. This is by a group called The Donnas from a tribute album called In Their Eyes, 90s teen bands versus 80s teen songs. Here is Schools Out. Well, we've got no choice, all the girls and boys, making all that noise, because there's no choice. Well, we can't suit you, can't find a cloud. If that don't suit you, that's the drive. School's out for summer. School's out forever.

School still blown two pieces. No more books No more teens are burning goods But we got no class And we got no plans And we got no place And we've got no medicine We can't even think of a part of the ride

Schools out for summer Schools out forever School's been blown To pieces No more petals, no more books, no more teachers, no more teachers turning birds. Out for summer, out to fall, we might not go.

Back at all School's out forever School's out for summer School's out with Eber School Out Get more at frogpants.com. Bus driver, I gotta go to the bathroom.

Oh.
