Big old freaking dirt blanket.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, November 28, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson, and that is Brian. Hi, Brian. It is Brian Ibitt. It is Brian. It is Brian. Uh, nine yesterday in, uh, in bets. Oh. Including a bunch on Monday night football and, uh, going 12.9 came, uh, ended up, what I ended up, uh, ended up $3.53 cents in the green. In the black. In the black. Okay. Yeah. My spreadsheet that I keep track of it, uh, is, is in the green, but, uh. Gotcha. Will it turn red if you're, if you're in trouble on your, I will manually turn it red if I lose money on a day and I, manually turn it

green if I win money on the day. Oh, I love it. That's great. So right now you're in the green or the black. I'm in the green. Right now, I'm $350 from starting from when I started the spreadsheet, November 6th, I'm $325 in some odd cents. Wow. From where I started. That's pretty good. Brian has gained the system. We'll see. You know, there are days where it's like, oh my God, I went 28 bucks down, but And there are other days where it's like, oh, I went $112 up. Yeah. This must be like, this can be a thing you can do all year instead of just during football season or just during whatever.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Because actually, right now, 90% of my bets are hockey and basketball. Very few of my bets are football right now. A few soccer. I imagine when baseball starts up again in April, it'll be some. It surprised me. I would have thought more football and just given the time of year. yeah um me i don't know i don't know what the reason is for that unless uh um the sports books

are just really good about setting lines for um for football and there's little benefit either on either side of each bet interesting well we'll keep checking in on this uh experiment as you continue to gain more and more cash and one day one day brian will be the richest of us all and that's right actually maybe i should just say you know what this is enough to pay for uh the the new the cobra mex too and call it good. I'll just get the 3D printer with this and we'll say the experiment of degenerate gambling is paid off and I've got a printer to show for it. I love that feeling.

Yeah. When you do a little, just a little side something and it's just enough to cover a thing. Yeah. Yeah. That is chef's kiss right there. Never, never bad. Yeah, I like that a lot. All right, we got a bunch of stuff today.

We want to mention real quick, just a quick rest of. in peace to Patrick Cohen, aka TJ. He is, or Time Jumper, a lot of people know him as. He is a member of this community, also very heavily involved over there in the Diamond Club side of things. Passed away yesterday.

Not entirely unexpected because he had just had brain surgery, but the doctors had sent him home and said things went well. It was a success. You should be going good. It's a little, it's still kind of side swiping everybody. No one saw this coming. And he is one of

the nicest human beings I've ever met in or outside of this community. He was so positive and such an amazing part of the overall fabric. And anybody who got to know him at all are just devastated by this news. It's freaking awful. It is. It really is. And I saw some pictures of him having a cigar with Missoula. And I'm thinking that that might have been from one of the first TMS Vegas's.

I knew he came to nerdaculars, came to events like that. He was a longtime Coverville supporter, Patreon and all that stuff. Yeah, just kind of a quiet force, but when you knew him, it was impossible to ignore him. And he was, the photos I've seen flooding, you know, various channels and stuff have been like a lot of nerdtacular shots.

People all crowded in elevators or outside of the smoke monster. according to Missoula, there is no smoke monster without him. He was crucial in getting that whole thing set up. Anyway, it sucks. Why do nice people have to die early? I don't get it. I don't like it. Yeah.

It's lame. All right. So all our feelings and thoughts toward his family and everybody who knew him, freaking blows. For sure. Yep. All right. We got some thoughts from, you know, Shane, shaved Maddox? You know, Shane?

I'm very familiar with shaved. We like Shane a lot. He likes sleeveless shirts, and he likes slowly rotating with his phone. He does. Taking panoramic shots of things. He's a great guy. I really definitely made an impact. There's three or four that he did in Vegas on Fremont Street.

Yeah, they stay with you for some reason. Well, he sent in some audio, and it's a good reminder, by the way. You can, I don't know if it's true on desktop. Well, I'm sure it is, but the mobile version of. Discord let you record a voice memo, and you can just send it through Discord. I should say, anytime anybody wants to send me that rather than call or something, you can do that if you'd rather. Oh, totally. Yeah, not a problem.

It's really interesting question. I'm curious if you can. Let's see, on desktop. There's got to be a way, right? There's probably a way. I don't see it under, like, all the things you can put in a post. Well, you know what? You're right.

Upload a file. You can upload, but you can't. Nitro, GIF. Yeah, I don't think you can. Smiley face, emoji. Dealey. Maybe you can't do it on desktop. Seems crazy, right? Like, of all the places, you think it would be built into their dedicated desktop app, but I guess not. Yeah, it's a little weird. Well, anyway, if you're using that on mobile, you're welcome to do it. But anyway, Shane sent something in,

and I'd like to play it. So here is Shane and some of his rambling thoughts. Okay. And I don't mean rambling in a negative way. It's fine. Rumble away. We don't care. Here it is. Hey, Shakenbeak. It's Shane. Just a few quick things. things. Number one, regarding the vizine killer in Waukesha. Seeing as how I've lived here the last 35 years, and the judge in that case also happened to preside over the parade attack we had here a couple years ago. I am pretty confident to say that that is, in fact, Waukshaw, Wisconsin and not Minnesota. Not sure where Scott got that one. Also, you guys talked about a couple years ago on New Year's, a few years ago, there was a drunk fellow that wandered into a house and

ended up snuggling with a dog there as well. Speaking, of strange men. Number two, the Michelin Man, who I just recently learned was originally gray-white because that was the color of tires at the time. The carbon was added later to preserve and strengthen the tires. So I think it's safe to say he was, in fact, comprised of tires. Also goes by bybendum, babendum, bebendum. Sounds like there's multiple pronunciations online about that. Speaking of incorrect pronunciations, number three, despite Chuck trying and succeeding, making me laugh at karaoke. I think it's only fair that his alias gets pronounced correctly.

And I could be wrong on this, but I believe it's Natamaton, not Natamaton or Notamaton, but Natamaton, which I'm pretty sure you guys actually had pronounced correctly prior on the show, so not sure what changed there. Nevertheless, I have great adoration for the performance. Now I've got to go take a 360 selfie. Bye. Yeah. I seem to record the whole thing in 360, like just one.

walking just rotating exactly like you he had to hang up because he was getting dizzy yeah um so uh but you say automaton no you say automaton when you when you wouldn't be without the end you say automaton yeah i say automaton yeah so it's natamaton okay that makes sense i have and he was saying he was implying that we said it like nata ton not aton what did we say i don't want to go back i think we might have said natamaton notomaton okay not a But in my defense, you know, I did invent a thing for drum majorettes to throw up in the air at the front of parades. And it's an automatic baton, which I call the auto baton. So I feel like I'm just locked into that pronunciation for notamaton because it's so close to my own trademark product.

Sure. The auto baton. Yeah, they call it the Ibitaton now famously. That's right. Yes, exactly. Ibiton. Yeah, the Ibiton. The United Colors of Ibiton.

I just immediately pictured a mall store full of models and photos and then like mannequins that all look like Brian. That's right. It would not be great? By the way, Chuck is in the chat room, but I guess he's not listening. Amy's listening with headphones. And he says, I wish I could hear what's making Amy laugh so much. Well, he'll write in and correct us if any of this is wrong. So that's the nice thing.

It's probably knocktomaton. Yeah. German. It's his evil leader name, you know? It's the guy making this huge space laser. It's going to take out James Bond and all of his enemies. Well, anyway, thank you for that,

Jane. We also got this here from let's see. Oh, this is not the first time somebody pointed this out. I'll play this version of the call, but when we did famous cartoon villains, we missed somebody, apparently, and we had a few people talk about it, so here's this.

Hey, how you doing? My name's Ray. Calling in for episode 2558 when you guys are talking about villains. I am so disappointed in the tadpool. Nobody said Aku. Come on. Samurai Jack? What? Not even a nod.

Come on. We can do better. I agree. Let's take a look here because, you know, we get so many that I don't read through. Like, I don't give you all of the answers. Just the ones that, like, get two or more votes. and sometimes I skip all the ones that are single unless there's a funny one.

Don't, and people, don't take that as license to, I'm just going to put funny ones from that one. Yes, please don't. I am scrolling through all of them, and I have not, I've yet to find, I'm at 295 answers, and I've yet to find a coup. One of the great cartoon villains of all time.

So if it's not on there, if no one submitted it, I am also disappointed in the tadpole. It's embarrassing. And the other thing is, well, this person, person who called in could have submitted it, right? Why didn't they submit it if they're... Oh. Oh, be the solution and not the problem. That's right.

You'll be the change in the world you want to see. That's right. Exactly. Yeah, still, yeah, didn't find it. Got all the way to the bottom of the list. Now, keep in mind, it's a cartoon bad guy you most identify with. Yeah. And Aku.

Maybe the people who like Aku don't identify with him. That's a good point. Yeah. He's a giant, ethereal, shape-shifting demon-lord guy. And I don't know if I would identify much with that. So that's a good point. Brian makes a point. Plus, we did have, like, one person,

why does it have to be a bad guy? Why can't it be a bad girl? It can be. Because I wrote the question. I copied the question from the submitter as, name a cartoon, bad guy you most identify with. And bad guys can be girls. Why limit that?

why be sexist and limit bad guys to just dudes? Yeah, guy doesn't have to be. I think Billy Elish said it best when she said, duh. Yeah, duh, do do do do do do in the song, I'm the bad guy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, duh, duh, and she's a girl. Oh, boom. Girl confirmed.

Boom. I was I going to say, oh, Ursula is a great female villain from the Little Mermaid. Yeah, people did say Ursula. People did have, you know, I didn't, I didn't say, well, that's a lady. I'm taking that one out of the list. No, Ursula, um, girls are usually bad guys. That's why they're girls.

Let me pull up the list here again. It's like, wow. Wow. It's interesting. It's a perspective for sure. Uh, yeah, Ursula, um, who there was a few poison ivy came up quite a bit.

Not, didn't make the top 10, but, or did she? Lately, she's kind of a, she's a very relatable character, so it's hard to call her a villain right now. Yeah, actually, she's kind of the voice of reason on Harley Quinn, the cartoon. Yeah.

They've made her more complex. She's no longer. They really did. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Katra. Like, if anything, Catwoman should never be on that list either because Catwoman goes back and forth. The bumper sticker.

Oh, yeah. I've moved Catwoman. I've moved Catwoman. Well, there you go. There's that. And he's right. Aku is awesome. So let's move on to this one from Rogue Test.

Do you remember the last time we heard from Rogue Test? She always has something important to say, something nice, something, you know. She's a ray of sunshine. We love her. And she, well, she'll explain it. Hey, Scotch and Bonnet. This is Teresa Rogue Catwoman. and I, in fact, paused TMS-2557 to call.

And as reluctant as I am to do this, I must confess that Manmax Fury Road is my parasite. Okay, check size away. I can take it. Show the love, though. Oh, man. You know, what are we going to do about that? Maybe this is a deal.

Maybe we finally found the opening here. we pick a weekend she has to watch Fury Road she watches Fury Road you watch Parasite I have to watch Paradise or Parasite yeah Paradise Paradise Paradise Paradise Paraside So if I do that Rogue Test let's get together on this

We'll talk about it off We'll come up with a way to get you to see The most important movie of the last 20 years And I will see Parasite All right So let's talk We'll work it out We'll make it a fun thing for the show

We'll get this done finally so that this meme can die. All right? I will see Parasite and then everybody can shut up about it for the rest of time. I'm just, I'm kind of not looking forward to it now

because there's no way it's going to be as good as all of this lead-up. You know, it's like, if you would have just watched it at the time, you would have said, oh, that was a really good movie, but it's like all of this build-up and all of this time. I mean, it is a great movie.

I really, really enjoy it. And I've only seen it once, and I need to do a second watching of it. but I don't think it's going to live up to how long it's been that we've been teasing it. So I almost feel like it needs to be that carrot at the end of the stick. What if I, I mean, there's a, there's a chance I could watch this and walk away going, man, that was amazing. Oh, absolutely. You know, like it might blow me away.

And if it does, that'd be the ultimate, that'd be the best possible outcome of this, because A, I would have enjoyed it. For sure. I would have finally seen it. We can have the discussion. Parasite will no longer be discussed. I mean, it doesn't matter what I say, online or anywhere. If I say, hey, saw a blank movie with Kim the other night, it was great. And then 50 of the replies are not parasite, not parasite, not parasite.

Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. So it's really almost like a, it'll take a lot of that stress of having to delete those other posts and those replies and things like that. Yeah, exactly. And Shane has a good point. is that's like saying MMFR or RF or FR rather will never be discussed. You know, that probably isn't true. That'll probably come up. Exactly.

That's just the rule here at the show. 2015, 2015 was a real demarcation. It was almost like, you know, it's like B, C, A, D kind of levels of. Exactly. Like we have A. MMFR and B. MMFR. It was like the before times. Yeah, but when history really began. Also, why has it seemed like everything after?

2015 sucks. Really? Oh, come on now. Not everything, obviously. Like, I have brand new humans in my life that I love so much I can barely stand it. Oh, like you're talking about everything, not just like movies, but you're saying everything. Just the world, you know? Just the world's less cool.

The COVID times. Yeah, it's just not as good. We got weird politically after 2015. Crappy presidents. I'm not saying, not name and names. He's not naming which one. He might name and saying anything about who I'm talking about. I could be talking about a very sleepy person who's

Certainly in the White House. Yeah, he may be talking about the current guy. Current guy. That's all, for all I know, that's all Brian means. Did you see the new Christmas decorations in the White House? Not a fan. Oh. You're actually getting better.

It's getting better. I'm introducing, that's the new element I'm trying to work on is the, the, not a fan. Like the, you know, where he does that every once in a while, his emphasis is to to flatten the word really, really bad. You have to do your hands, you have to do that thing he does it, like that. The Christmas tree, not a fan. Not a fan.

Not a fan. New, uh, new, uh, new, uh, new lovers, everybody, new loves. Exactly. Um, all right, what else we got? Oh, um, I got a Marvel Snap question because you, you play a lot of Marvel Snap. Oh, sure. I do play a lot of Marvel Snap.

And I prompt, like, if I, if I were to take my iPad right here and swipe up, oh, face ID. Hi, face. Oh, never mind. It was in notes. There we go. Well, never mind. Never mind it.

I thought I left Snap up on screen, but apparently didn't. That's fine. But you're playing a lot. I play it a lot. I have it. Typically, I have it when I'm working here. I'll have it up on my screen. And if I'm waiting for a file to download or waiting for something, I'll play one quick

little three-minute game and boom. So this is the, here's the scary bit. Of all the people I know, you are the most versed, well-versed. and knowledgeable about the game and also pretty good at it. You know what the decks are and all this stuff. So of all the people I can talk to about this,

you are the one I would like to present some information to and then I want you to react to it. Okay, I love it. Bring it. Bring it on. Bite dance, is it? No, it's second dinner. Right, right, right. But they're owned by or financed by, I think it's by dance or by dance, whatever it is.

Chinese conglomerate. They own TikTok. This is part of their new. Oh, no. So they've got, they're selling all my information now. Oh, no. That isn't even the hard bit. So they, they owned, they own, essentially are the financial backbone of all things, Snap. And by, um, by all measures, Snap is not the success anybody involved in the financial side wanted it to be. In fact, second dinner pushed so hard to make the game less free to play. and less microtransacty and more fun and more full game. That was a big deal for Ben Brode and crew. But that did not translate as well to bottom line.

Still, I think still profitable, but not like their expectations, right? That's the current talk is. And I think that's actually to their benefit because I think the game is a really good game. And part of the reason it's good is because it's not predatory. I feel like that's. It doesn't, right.

It doesn't give you all these. Like, I mean, you've got one screen where you can buy, you can't buy a card. Well, I guess technically you can now. You can spend money and get a card you don't have. But typically, the way it was, you could only buy variants of cards that you already had, variants of characters. But now you can buy the space points to turn those space points into a card you don't have. Exactly.

And they've been really good about that. Well, Bight Dance, who owns them, has just announced, just like a day or two ago. that they are gutting their gaming division entirely. They are completely getting rid of it. Now, there's two things at play here. Either that means they'll sell this off to someone else and they'll pick it right back up. Or that game may get shut down. Oh, interesting.

Really? Yeah, that's the talk is that my dance is like, we're shutting down. They call it Newverse, I think, is the name of their gaming division. And that whole thing's getting gutted. Interesting. So. Well, I haven't heard... How do you feel about all this?

How does that sound to you? I mean, that seems bad, right? It would bum me out. I'd move on. I'd find something else I like, but yeah, really enjoy this game. I hope that doesn't happen. But if it does, it does. I'm not going to change it, and I'm not going to find something else to kind of hitch my wagon to and play.

Sure. And that would, I mean, my guess is what it would mean for someone in that chat says, well, what about Ben Brod? Well, they would probably, I mean, they would move on to. They'd do something else. Yeah. Because they're a functioning studio. They're not owned by ByDance.

They are a independent studio contracted with ByDance to make this game and also working with Disney for the Marvel license. All that stuff has to happen. So they would probably be fine and move on to their next project and everything would be okay. But still, sucks ass. It does suck ass. Yeah, I'd have more time for the new Mario game. If that's the case, that'd be my new.

Leave it on in the background. and then if I have a minute here, a minute there, I'll play a level. But, yeah, yeah, interesting. No, I hadn't heard any of that. And that's a bummer. I mean, God, you go on Twitch, and it seems like there's so many people doing live streams of Marvel Snap. Yeah, I'm surprised that it's not. It's got a burgeoning community.

There's nothing wrong with that, right? They're just not making the money. The fact that they're not making it so you can say, I'm going to pay $50 and buy Galactus and win every game. from now on yeah I think it's just not like most Chinese developed games a lot of 10-cent stuff a lot of who's the other one netty's these other these other companies their their threshold for how much of that to put in their game is really high so they're used to they're used to really nickel and diamond everything you do this

comes along and it's just got more of a older sense of how a game should be and I think it's clashing with what their goal were. But also they're gutting that whole gaming division, which tells me that they weren't finding any success with anything. So my guess is... Right, not just Marvel Snap, but yeah. So they'll just sell it off. You know? Yeah, exactly. I'm sure.

I mean, this happened with was Marvel Strike Force? There was one that went from God, I can't remember either of the companies, the first company that had it or the second company that had it. And that one, That one kind of was always a little bit of a, you know, micro-transaction-y mess at times.

Yeah. However, I'm so glad it's still around because when I'm painting a mini that's based on a character, I can go into that character in Marvel Strike Force and spin it around virtually, like, look at the characters. Oh, their art references. That's great. Yeah. That's great. All the little details on their back, you wouldn't see normally anything like that.

exactly like you know ghost spider she's got some like cool little little angle things uh on her back the white and black we're losing stephanie here because it's aptoc but i hope that brought her back well she changed her name to stephanie pets again so i don't know she did because uh because i said why did you change it and then she just switched it that's fine you'd be who you want to be oh yeah midnight suns i need to go back to midnight suns jeff i did i really enjoyed it and then something else came and took my attention away uh i have midnight suns on my Steam deck right now. It's very good on there by the way. Excellent. Is it really? Oh, that would

be, yeah. Played so good. But it's that game's amazing and it's another example of another IP licensed property that did not sell as well as they'd hoped. It made its money back, but it didn't do much beyond that, so there's no talk of any

follow-up, which really sucks. I think that game is cool. Yeah. It's really good. Like mechanically, you know what? Fine. If you don't want to do it with Marvel and that license cost you too much, Do a new one that's your own original IP, but use the systems you build here because they're so good. Yeah, it's really, really good. So good.

All right. Stephanie, you can come out now. You can come out. Everything's fine. We're not talking about games anymore. Okay, Stephanie. I did put some Spider-Man talk in there, Stephanie. Hopefully that helped.

Oh, right. Yeah. You know what? That's how we have to do is every time we talk about an app, even if it's unrelated. You just have to somehow get Spider-Man in the talk and she'll be fine. Yeah. Here's a word game we really like. I bet Spider-Man would like it.

Yeah. Seems like some Peter Parker. Oh, wordle? Yeah, well, Venom is a five-letter word. Peter is a proper down, but... Yeah, there's some interesting, or there's talk right now, sorry, there's more game talk here. But it's Spider-Rame related. So the new Spider-Man game on the PlayStation. Yeah, yeah. There's a, there was a hack or some kind of exploit where you could play, somebody figured out how you could play the whole game as a symbiate.

character. And then that got patched. And the thinking is, oh, and also the actor who did Venom's voice in the game, that's only a bit part in the game. But that actor said, oh, they've only used a tiny bit of what I recorded for them. Now everybody's going, oh, let's do the math here. They're working on a Venom, some kind of Venom game spinoff, like totally Venom. Delc. Venom DLC. Where, yeah, right. It could be its own game for all I know. Oh, it could be. Yeah. It's true. I'd be into that. I love that. Then I'm a big Venom fan here, even though I haven't seen any of the, I was going to say, what did you think of the Tom Hardy? Oh, yeah, you're a big Venom fan and a big Tom Hardy fan.

Yeah, I like Tom Hardy. I like Venom characters. Haven't seen any of those Venom movies. I guess that might, I wonder if that'll have to be a, after we finish what if. Oh, yeah, let's do a couch party. Maybe we do the Venom movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'd be great because I don't know any other circumstance where I will just sit down and watch those, you know. And it's not that I don't want to, part of me's nervous because,

I hear so much mixed things about those movies that I'm like, well, I don't want to feel bad, you know? They are best description. They're adequate. They're, you know, super-doper adequate, those movies. And if there's one more, good thing you can say about them, they're better than Morbius. Chat room's right, though. Chris says, isn't Venom sort of like a parasite? See, we're back to Parasite.

This is great. Oh, yeah. Well done. Vennem is a parasite. That's true. Yeah, it is. Well, a symbiote. Symbioid is more equal, like, I take it from you, you take it from me.

That's the whole symbiote. It's the Italian symbiote, by the way. That's right. Oh, and I was yesterday years old when I found out, you just reminded me of it. Speaking of symbiote. The girl, the lady what played Dax, not Dax. Yeah, Dax on Deep Space Nine. Jadzia, Jadzia Dax.

Again, they give a real name all of a sudden. um yeah anyway whatever real name is she's married to uh spock's son uh right yeah nemoy junior right uh yes i can't think his name either terry feral is her terry feral married to she's married to adam nemoi adam nemoi that's that's pretty cool i didn't know this hung out with her at a uh tecona she is friends with this so trivia championships in north america was in vegas for for a few years. They've changed it. It's now, like, kind of evolved into SporkelCon or a couple of other things. But they did this game that was a mash, a mishmash of trivia and dodgeball called Nodgeball.

Like, it was Knowledge Ball. So, K.N. Nodgeball? Like, Knoledgeball? Yes, K.N. Knaajball, exactly. All right. Yeah. And they tried to make it a thing, like, it was their fetch, basically. I wonder if there's still a website for Nodgeball. But there was, yeah, Nodgeball, Boulder, Colorado. So one of the people that developed it, oh, there it is, you can see Nodgeball at Tocona 2014.

I want to see this. Do you have a link? I'll give you a link because this even includes Brad Rutter, Jeopardy Champion Brad Rutter. Sweet. You can see how, this is like ballroom at the Tropicana. Nice. I'm somewhere behind the camera, by the way. This is great.

Oh, I wish you were out front here. That'd be great. okay here you go chat and it's uh trivia questions being asked and he goes along with um dodgeball and i'd like you to notice like you know who's doing really well it's the people who are playing trivia but also look like jocks beat the tar out of everybody else um did they it feel like they didn't account for that some of these guys are buff and ripped and fast yes exactly yeah that guy Brandon Saunders in the purple

t-shirt is another guy you see all the time on Jeopardy and who wants to be a millionaire and all these other trivia game shows

he is he's a ninja look at him move he is like I swear he's going to put a hole in the wall of ballroom D

let me ask you this question what does it take to get a hotel to okay this like I mean, they're a little soft, soft ball. I think you don't tell them what you're doing.

But any, one of the guys who helped develop this is friends with Terry Farrell. And so not at this specific event, but at this, at this trivia competition that I was at. She was hanging out at a table and I talked with her for like about 15 minutes before I realized who she was. So she is, I mean, you know, you don't see her with the spots on her neck and that sort of thing. She's a very normal, attractive-looking person. You're just like, oh, you're really pretty, but it's like, oh, you're also a symbiote on Deep Space 9. Now I remember that. She always seemed very tall on the show.

Is she tall in person or just kind of average? I don't know because we were both sitting down. Oh, you're both sitting. That's a good point. She didn't seem short. Like, you know, when I was sitting next to her, she, yeah, she didn't, she didn't seem shorter than me. Oh, she was on Quantum Leap, too. Oh, yeah.

And then there was, they worked on a pilot for a U.S. version of Red Dwarf. She was going to play Cat. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that would have been great. Can you imagine her is like, how am I looking? Yeah. I don't think that show would ever worked, but.

How am I looking now? I don't think that would have worked. Like a lot of conversions from like British stuff to American, they just don't work. The office is an eye. They're not all, exactly. They're not all the office. No.

The IT crowd thing they tried to do with Joel McHale sounds like it would have been rough. And it's nothing to do with Joel McHale. He's fine. It's just, no, he's great. I mean, I think he's carrying, if Animal Control got renewed for a second season,

it's because it's because of a very good ensemble cast, but Joel McHale is the draw in that. oh yeah 100% he's your guy he's your guy that get you in the door and buys the you that's why you're buying tickets it's joel mcale damn it yeah season two episode one set to prepare uh premier march 6th so nice very nice um i got a question though about this this these people throwing balls at each other real quick yes uh sure since you were witnessing this why are they hitting each other repeatedly like this doesn't seem like dodge ball rules something's going on there it's you they're asking trivia questions so the guy in the back center uh is a guy named Paul Bailey. He's the guy from Boulder. He's asking trivia questions, and in order to throw, you've got to answer the trivia questions. I can't remember the whole, like, is it every question or you get a question right? You get to pick up five balls and throw them or something? Okay. I can't remember. It just seems like chaos when they start throwing. It is. Total chaos. And I can't tell from the audio, I've got the audio off.

Can't tell how quickly they're having to how quickly they're having to answer those questions. And who's saying correct, right, wrong. Don't drop that ball. You can't throw that ball. And in the rules, because one guy got hit like, I don't know, five times, didn't catch him. And he's still there. He's still playing. He's still playing. I don't know what.

Yeah, I don't know how you determine a winner or a loser. It's really weird. Maybe it's like how many questions, this is probably it. And I'm going to say, it's like, you know, it's been nine years since I watched this thing. I think somebody's keeping score, and the object of the balls being thrown is not to get points, but to distract you from answering the questions correctly.

So it's like a, you know, if I keep hucking balls at this person and I'm answering questions correctly, but I'm, you know, they're trying to dodge or trying to avoid the balls, then they're going to miss some trivia questions. Got it. Yeah. That's interesting. That's too bad you're not out there in the scrum, you know? No, it's not too bad.

I saw that and I said, there's a game that's not for me. Yeah, not into it, huh? I love Dodge Ball as a kid, but I think today I'd be a slow-ass mother-effer out there. Oh, yeah. I'm like, I'm what you call an easy target. I'm big and slow.

I would not go my way. I'm afraid. Nope. All right, let's do some news. We're here to entertain, but also to inform. Okay. Cool. All right, everybody.

It's time for the news, brought to you by. Hello. Um, kimchi rice. Yeah, so Carter, uh, is making kimchi rice. Oh, right, because Kim's out of town. So, uh, she's cooking for you. Yeah, so now someone else is cooking for me. Yeah, he's good.

Um, yeah, no, we, I'm not, I mean, I'm doing all right. There was enough stuff in the fridge for leftovers from Thanksgiving and all this other stuff. So I've been doing fine, but as of about today, I'm, I'm running a little shy on things. So last night, did some grocery shop and got some new stuff. Wow. And tonight she's making kimchi rice, and I'm very excited about it. Ooh, that'll be yummy.

Yeah. What else is going in there? Like, because she's obviously vegetarian, so you're not going to get any pork belly or anything like that. No, but she'll probably make me a version. We have some grilled chicken that she can use for mine, and then she'll just make her separate. That's what we do around here anyway. When Kim makes a batch of Jambalaya, there's two pots. One is large and full of meats, and the little one is none for her.

Although, funny enough, my favorite version of Kim's jambalaya is meatless. Oh, really? Oh, my gosh. Interesting. Without the undoey sausage and the chicken. I mean, don't get me wrong. I love that stuff. Like, I want a bowl of that, like right now as you're saying it.

But it's so good. But given the choice, you'd take the meatless version. I think I would. I think it's because she then overloads it with the veggies. And then the way that stuff cooks and creates kind of a, it's almost like, you know what else I'll use it for? This may be a little weird, but when she'll make a batch, the next day I'll get a cold bowl of it. Not heat it up, just a cold bowl and eat that with like tortilla chips. It's the best salsa you'll ever have.

It sounds weird, but I'm telling you, oh man, it's killer. You know what that sounds? That actually doesn't sound too bad. It's really, really good. All right, let's start with a circus story today. Those are important, you know, top hat. That's the theme music. Yeah, that's the theme music of all circus.

circuses ever. That's all circuses, that music. Yeah, I assume Barnum, Bailey, all those guys. That's just how they did it. Oh, yeah, for sure. Well, this circus is selling jars of lion poop to make ends meet because, you know, circuses ain't what they used to be when it comes to profit. At least to make the lions ends meet. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. In Munich, Germany, so it's not even here, guys, don't start thinking Florida man immediately. This is in Germany. The circus crone, that's what it's called. The circus cron. Yeah. Welcome to Circus Krona. It might be Krona. It might be. K-R-O-N-E? How would you say that, German listeners? We don't know.

Anyway, closed due to the pandemics. That was already a rough time. Trying out a new revenue stream. They're selling jars of lion poop for using gardens to fertilize or otherwise deter animals from nibbling, according to the EPA. Quote, the circus erected a large sculpture dubbed Mr. Pooh outside the business to celebrate the new venture. That name again is Mr. Pooh. Oh, this video, oh, my gosh.

Oh, they're unveiling the giant poop statue. Yeah, I'll show this a little bit to the chat. Yeah. They, here we go. This guy, oh, my gosh. The fact that this line is not biting this guy's head off is. I know, right? This line is putting up with so much, like, this guy's given beber hair to this line,

and the lion's not eating his face off. They kind of went, they kind of went lame on the statue. It's just a poo emoji. It's just the poo. It's the pudding emoji, basically. Yeah, lame. And why does it have? why does it have a little square in the mouth is something going to come out of that mouth oh my gosh dude that's where you put your hand in to get your poo you put your pudding like you just basically have pudding come out of that mouth constantly gross soft sir yeah look at that little i don't like that that's like a little dispenser for something yeah not a fan something's coming out of that yeah exactly or it's a glory it's the worst glory hole ever oh the worst kind can you imagine also i want that lion just want to cuddle with a line i know so sorry so sorry

sweet yeah name every time I see a line in a like I don't know nature documentary I'm always you know it's like wow look at the way it tackled that wildebeest and took it down and did all the things it did but it doesn't matter I still want to just get up in there

and just hug it yeah sleep on it even though it would eat me but I would love it all right Brian we got something from Stephen Schlecker he's sending this story oh he did yes send this to both of us so so glad we're talking about this. Yeah, a couple of days have gone by, so we haven't addressed it. So this is important. Daryl Hall filed a restraining order against John Oates of Hall and Oates fan.

Hall v. Oates. Hall v. Oates in order to stop him, this according to the complaint, to stop him from selling share in their businesses, that they both co-own and benefit from. Sort of. Yeah. Whole Oats is fully owned by John Oates now. Oh, it is? Okay. But it was, it was. Um, well, Hall's menthalyptus is owned entirely. It all had to do with which songs they were, which songs they wrote and owned in their, in their library. Okay. And, um, Daryl Hall sent, uh, sold a bunch of his songs to, uh, to some group.

And then John wanted to do the same thing, but it's to their management company, which is this whole oats enterprises. Oh, gotcha. Okay. Um, well, here's how the story goes. days after Daryl Hall was granted a temporary restraining order against John Oates. New details will come to light of the reasons behind the bandmates legal drama. Hall, age 77, filed suit against Oates, age 75. It's important to put their ages in, I guess. I don't know why. Just to remind us how old we are compared to when we used to listen to Hall and Oates.

That's right. It's a bitch girl, but you've gone too far. We've gotten old anyway. in order to stop Oates' plan to sell his share of joint business ventures through a third party, which Hall argues is a violation of a business agreement previously reached by the pair, according to a motion obtained by people, people, exclamation, point, loud, all caps. Their logo requires you to put it in all caps, I think. Yes.

The rich girl singers entered into, oh, it's great, you brought that up. That's what they're called here, the rich girl singers, entered into an agreement on October 2021 over the whole Oates Enterprises L-L-L-P-W-O-E. It's a limited liability partnership owned and controlled by the musicians per the motion. Hall initiated an arbitration process against Oates, to prevent his bandmate from transferring 100% of his right title and interest in whole Oates to a third-party buyer called Primary Wave Music without Hall's consent. So the bottom line here is no good pairing goes unpunished eventually.

Even Hall and Oates can't get along eventually, right? know and that's you know that's when you thought uh was for the ages the the friendship of hall and oats yeah apparently it's it's uh it's not it's gotten so bad apparently they when they tour they stay in separate hotels not just separate hotel rooms in the same hotel but separate hotels because gosh really they don't want to accidentally bump into each other yeah it's uh this is like gallager level uh yeah acrimony yeah those guys hate each other so All right, but don't worry. No can do.

You know, can do. Don't worry, everybody, though, because this will never happen to Brian and Scott and your TMS host because we'll never be worth enough to have this problem. Exactly. We'll be like, hey, I'm thinking about selling the first two years of episodes of TMS to some buyer. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Yep, just whatever you can get.

20 bucks, cool. Give me 10. Cool. Give me 10. Fine. It'll all work out. Well, good luck to them. And thank you, Stephen, for pointing.

that out. Disney Park guest got arrested. I saw, this showed up on a bunch of social stuff before I heard about the arrest. But there was pictures of this guy that preceded the story. But anyway, Disney Park guest arrested after stripping clothes off on It's a Small World.

I mean, if you're going to do it. Yeah. Of all the places, let's actually answer this question, Brian, where's the best place for you to streak at Disneyland? Let's say you've got it, you've got, you need to You need a ride where you can take your clothes off during the ride. So your choice is really, you're not going to do it during Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Space Mountain or Indiana Jones.

It's got to be a slow ride. It's got to be an indoor dark ride. So basically your choices then get narrowed down to Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean. It's a small world. Yeah. It's a small world is the slowest of the three. Pirates has a couple drops. Yeah.

you don't want to do that it's also and then Haunted Mansion you've got that you've got that bar that thing to contend with to climb over

whereas there's nothing and it's a small world it is an open boat there is no no bar that comes down over your lap and the good news there is if you're doing this for exposure

your exposure level on that ride is multifaceted because it's slow and people have to see you they can't get away from you quickly you're just in this slow boat

those boats are full of old people and kids. So you're maximizing the shock impact, right? It's like, oh my gosh, well, someone think of the children and the old people are like, I can't believe the generation today. Like, you have all, you hit all the hot points for the old people and the young

people. It's perfect. You know what? This guy did exactly what you should do if you're going to do this. You know? If you're going to do it, oh man, this guy, I sort of got it. I'm paused on him walking by. He looks like oats. Oh my, holy shit. No one is going to do. If you

Look at that video on the deadline. Let's take a look here. Is there a video? Where is it? I don't see it. Oh, it's on that page. Is it the Twitter link? That video?

I think that's it. Oh, yeah, there is. Yeah, the Twitter link or the X link. He did look like, he looks like goats. Yeah. Let's play that again. I can't tell he has the mustache, but that's what Oates would do to shave his mustache to do this. But he's got the, the, the.

oats fro and the glasses and yeah drugs it looks like to me the way he's walking yeah um yeah so it happened on saturday or sunday right uh this was very busy thanksgiving holiday weekend i've been there on thanksgiving holiday weekend and that place is a nightmare during thanks yeah i'll never go then again ever again will i do that it was yeah horrid 2006 never forget uh let's see disney lamb resort representative told deadline that the guests got off the while it was was in motion, and the attraction was stopped when the park operators were made aware of the situation. The guest was detained. He was removed from the property altogether by the Anaheim Police Department.

It's a small world was shut down. No guests were harmed in the making of the naked man. He's using the little cobra, flute-playing cobra kid to get out of, oh, yeah, don't you put your hands on the animatronics. You're going to break them, and then you're right for a lawsuit. Yeah, don't stay. Don't touch any of that stuff. Disney will kill you. Yeah, it really, really will.

I'm surprised this guy isn't in Disney jail. Yeah. Who runs Disney jail? Who's the warden? What character of Disney's origin when we put in charge of that jail? Master Blaster runs Disney Jail. No, it'd be like, it has to be Disney-owned.

Now you own Marvel and Star Wars now. So you could do like Stormtroopers, you could do... Something Marvel. I think you go with one of the regular Disney characters, and the person who runs Disney Jail is, is, uh, is, uh, is, uh, who is it, Bay Max? Bay Max. Bay Mets.

Oh, that's a nice. He's nice. He'd take a good. That'd be a nice jail. Yeah, exactly. All right, maybe not. Mollifficent is good. The collector.

Olaf. Olaf. Jeth is Olaf. Goofy. Oh, that would be a nice jail. be hell. Goofy running it? Yeah, there you go. Yeah. It's like, hey, when's dinner around here? Oh, that's right. Big Pete. The, the huge dude with the, uh, scruffy face, uh, Big Pete runs the, oh, Big Pete. Uh, um, Goofy's nemesis, Big Pete. Goofies or Mickey's nemesis. Yeah. I forget

who he was opposed to. Jafar's pretty good. Yeah. There's, there's, there's work they could do there. But I just assume if you're going to have a jail on Disney, you would do like everything else. in Disneyland or world and have it manned by characters. Why wouldn't? Yeah, like people dressed up as mascots for sure. Yeah, I'd be all into that. Oh, my God. All right, final story today.

Airline serves dog food to business class passengers in a translation error. Oh, no. So much material for stand-up comics. I know, right? More than they'll ever need. That's right. The food served on planes doesn't have to have the best reputation. That's true.

at times. But even the most iron-stomicked passengers might think twice before ordering a mistranslated menu option on the recent flight. Photo taken by a passenger on China, Eastern Airlines shows the menu for those flying in business class, which includes beef, seafood, and soup dishes. But one unfortunate English translation has got people talking. Among the choices for starters is, quote, imported dog food with okra. If you already didn't like okra, I don't think it's going to help that dog food. So it's really the translation. They're not really serving dog food.

It's the fact that the menu says imported dog food. Dog food was mistranslated. Exactly. Nobody went, nobody back at the kitchen place where they prepare all the stuff at the airport, went, well, it says dog food. Exactly. Well, that's what I was thinking is like, you know, they said, what's in this container? I don't know. Let's serve it.

Yeah, they don't do that. This story, the headline wants you to think there's more going on than there is. but yeah yeah i wouldn't eat um okay confession time oh all right i have eaten dog food before all right really okay here's the context what kind was it kibble or was it uh oh it was kibble well okay and it was kibble from oh the idea of wet food makes me gag oh i don't know why wet dog food so much worse than kibble really i feel like if i had to do it i think i'd pick wet over kibble i that is the correct thing that is the correct thing to believe and say, you're not wrong.

I don't know why that's opposite for me. Isn't that weird? Because it should be, it's more like human food, the wet stuff. I could heat it up, put it on a cracker, you know, there's options. I mean, I'm not liking any of it, but I feel

like if I had to, yeah. I mean, and if I could choose the brand, I'd choose one of those brands that's like good enough for humans, made for dogs or whatever it is, right? There's some fancy stuff, like fancy feasts. for cats you know yeah but i would okay so here was the story when i was i don't know 11 i had a friend named peter and peter and i would get into bets all the time dumb bets and this was the time

this was that era when i told you about the kid i forgot his name now something larsen i don't remember but this kid who ate who uh who sucked on a pregnant dog's boob for a dollar oh for a freaking dollar brian that's not enough and it's not like in 1984 four or whatever dollars were worth more it's not it was still just a freaking dollar a dollar a dollar was just a dollar back then too yeah so that was a thing i've talked about this on the show before so some of you may be hearing us the first time yeah but that kid he'd do anything for a dollar basically was the lesson there but this uh this kid peter and i would bet each other that we would would or wouldn't do certain things so one of them was to put a finger inside of a red ant hill for 10 seconds and hold it there and see how long you could see how long you could stand it because you would get bit and you pull it out your finger be all bit uh and i don't remember all of them but one of them was who could eat a kibble of of dog food like one little gray little kibble yeah one kibble and they were they were decent size so i think these were like alpo so they're kind of bigger and uh i think they're on the money on the line there may have been five or ten

which is a lot for a kid you know when you're 11 or 12 you don't have any money you know that's obviously a better deal than the uh than the uh then the uh the the nipple. Oh, hell yeah. Hell yeah. I wasn't going to do that nipple for 50. Give me 100, maybe. Yeah.

So I do the, so I do the kibble, and he does it the same time. We have to go the same time. Chew, chew, chew, chew, whatever. He ended up spitting it out and gagging like a crazy person, and I swallowed it. I ate that kibble. Wow. And I earned my five bucks. Five bucks, whatever it was that I wasted on our, you know.

Do you remember anything about the taste or anything like that? Oh, yeah. It was very. very how do I describe this there's a weird oiliness to it and it's hard to explain

what I mean by that kind of like what you get with fried okra or what's something else like that it was there was like an oil taste thing and then it and it

tasted like I don't know it kind of tasted like it smells you know dogs yeah smells like that like a smelly oily meat biscuit and I never did it again. We never

revisited that bet, but I still have regrets about it, you know. Ain't nobody should be doing that. Yeah, no. No. Whatever, we had no money. Not for $10. Where was I going to get quarters for Pac-Man or whatever I was playing then, you know? If it wasn't, exactly, if it wasn't

for that kibble, it was a high score that never would have been, that never would have made it to the top of the Pac-Money. Devious Rascal says, now Scott has a shiny coat. Yeah, that's why the longevity of my hair is all due to that single kibble. Exactly, yeah. See, I never eat kibble.

No hair. You do the math. You explain that. Science can't explain that. That's right. I can't explain this, though. We're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, Bill will be with us.

We're going to do a little bit of Bill Durand time. And that'll be fun. Find out what he's making these days and maybe inspire you, you at home makers, to make something cool yourselves. Before that, though, we got a song prepared by Mr. getting a new printhead Ed Brian. We'll see. Yeah. Let's go to a guy named Max Dowd. This guy is incredible

a singer-songwriter from Rochester, New York, and he's been playing live music venues all over his hometown since he was 13. This is like a great little power pop rocker. Now, let me tell you what's going to blow your mind once you hear this. This dude's

That song is from singer-songwriter and looks like just to be a generally nice guy. Max Dowd, the song is called Willing to Lose, and we're looking forward to hopefully a full album next year with a bunch of stuff. That'd be great.

All right, cool. So, the first thing, a few weeks ago, our pal Norm from Tested, Norm Chan, was in town to film some stuff about the new Steam Deck, the new updated Steam Deck.

This is before they announced it. And since he was in town, I got to tag along up to Valve. Go check it all out. I helped him run a camera, so I helped shoot his video. I was working. it didn't feel like we're I bet it didn't yeah

and they had they have a thing they built called the steam deck orb they used in all the marketing they built this this I don't know like 10 foot in diameter orb and on the inside of it is dozens of steam decks

that they used to light the inside of it and they use that to light the steam deck for their promotional stuff so it was a steam deck lit by the screen of like 100 steam decks oh wow wait so they made they basically made a lighting setup for with steam decks to film steam decks or to show them off wow yes that's exactly it and uh we got to norm and i got to go sit in it and play it i tweeted about it like a week ago and norm was tweeting about it too if anyone wants to go

check that out that was just it was just neat it was just really really neat that's so cool yeah i ended up i got one of the new oleds the screen on that thing is so good it is i don't i don't have either, but I got to see them side by side, and the new one is dramatically better. Yeah, it's a huge, huge jump in quality, but it's, you know, as we would expect from an OLED screening, they're just better that way, but it's also a little lighter and batteries lasting longer and the, uh, there was one. Oh, and the, the heat, this dispersion and the fan are A silent and B, way less, way less. When you're playing big games, like, cyberpunk used to make that thing just roar.

And now it doesn't make a peep. It's pretty great. Anyway, I'm jealous of this. Oh, I want this sphere. Look at it. Yeah, look at that thing. How cool. So someone had to make that.

It's totally custom built. It's so cool. Also, I just, I'm counting the dollar signs. Yeah, I can't even. I wanted to ask how much it costs, but I bet no one there actually really knew. Yeah. Well, it's cool. You didn't mention this, but, or maybe it didn't.

I missed it. But they're all synchronized. Right. Oh my gosh, that's cool So you can play video and stuff on it And it spreads out among them all And then that thing closes So in the video they're closing it on norm there

Yeah So it's fully enclosed Wow Yeah, it's silly and neat It is silly and neat It is silly is the right word But also Why wouldn't you?

Your valve This is your thing And you have money to burn Go ahead do it Oh yeah Yeah, it's on Gabe's dime Yeah Everything on Gabe's dime

Except for Gabe's beard maintenance But anyway, tell us more Or tell us what else you got going to What else? So Norm was in town. So we filmed a little video where we put together

I had printed a blaster from Starfield that someone else had made a jury from 3D workbench modeled it. And I had these parts sitting there and Norm was in town so we filmed a video

where Norm and I put together this blaster from Starfield which was really fun. Nice. I look at you too hanging out there. So we got a video of that but then I've been digging through a bunch of old stuff,

bunch of old files, and I found 10 sets of 3D printing files for props that I never released. They're just sitting on a hard drive somewhere. Really? Yeah. So it used to be, I would, whenever I 3D modeled something for printing, I would

hang on to it. I never sold the files, I never gave them out. And at some point that changed. I started selling stuff. We have a part on our website with free 3D print files. But I forgot about these old files. So I went, I was felt like Indiana Jones going through the archives. And I found these files from like seven years ago, which is always fun, of course, going through files from seven

years ago, finding what mess passed you left for yourself. But I went through them all. Now, they needed a little work. One of the reasons I didn't put these things out was they weren't totally finished. What I would do a lot back then when I was getting started with 3D printing is I would get a model close to done and then say, you know, I'll just fit it. I got tools. I got Bondo. I'll just finish it by hand.

We'll fix it in post. Sure. So I had to do some organizing. I had to do some remodeling of parts to get these all ready for public consumption. But I did. I went through and fixed them up, got everything ready,

bundled them together, and then put them on our website. So over at punishprops.com, there's a free blueprint section there really aren't any blueprints in there it's mostly 3D print files now but if you check there

there's bone patterns for free to download you don't have to they're just links to download you don't have to sign up for anything you just go download them from there oh there you add it these 10 files looking at them now so some of these are PDF some of these are

uh oh you get tutorial videos tied to some of them so the man Yeah, that's a generous list. Holy shit. There's a ton of stuff there. There's dozens of files. So if you're looking for a foam pattern, you're looking for an idea for a project to work on,

go over to punishrofts.com, hit the free blueprint files. You'll see just a ton of ideas and stuff to help you. Yeah. Interesting. Now, these new files, it's not nothing. It's good stuff. So the Boolean Gemini, which is a rifle from destiny that I made. Yeah.

In fact, I brought that to Nurtacular one here. and then promptly left it in the car at the zoo where it was like 100 degrees out and the whole thing melted. No. Oh no. No, just from the, oh, my God. What's it?

The what, back home zoo? Where'd you go? What zoo? The Hogle Zoo. Hoagel Zoo. Oh, shit. And it was summer. Oh, no.

I love that zoo. That's a good zoo. Yeah, we have a good zoo. I like our zoo too. The bird, if you go to the Hogle Zoo, by the way, go watch the bird show that they put on. It's really cool. Yeah, that little.

the amphitheater thing space? Yeah. It's awesome. They have some of the best I can't remember where I saw this somewhere but they were they were some of the best bird trainer people and birds they had and they get stuff on loan all the time too. It's a really, people don't think of the Salt Lake Zoo is like a big deal but Hogle's pretty good. We like it. Yeah.

So anyway that's a good, that's a huge rifle. It's free. Go download it put together. I got Ray's Blaster from Star Wars in there. Another iconic one. Yeah. The pistol from Oblivion that Tom Cruz had. I've still never seen Oblivion. I should watch Oblivion, shouldn't I?

Yeah, that's been a while. Yeah. It's all right. Wait for us to watch a film. Okay. That seems like a film film, doesn't it? Yeah.

All right. I'll wait for it. And then also Mr. Handy, the robot from Fallout, the like helper robot with all the arms? Yeah. Made a little model of him years ago. Yeah.

Actually, that would be a really fun one to print on the resin printer. Brian. Oh, yeah. He would have fun with that one. That's really good. You know what I love? This is what I love.

You have, so the way you have this sectioned out, it's mostly like blasters, weapons, armor and accessories, props. But I love the categories, Skyrim and Mass Effect, because those two things were so huge for you, those two games in terms of prop building that, of course, they have their own section, like duh. Yeah, that's great. Brittany, so I don't know if folks knows, Brittany and I met in college where we learned 3D modeling. Brittany is also a very competent 3D modeler. She has a couple of files in there, too. The hearthstone box. Oh, I love that one.

Yeah. Is that down under props? Probably. Yeah. Which they sold. There's an official version. There it is. I want to just print one.

That's in there. She also did Reinhardt's helmet from Overwatch. Nice. Which is just, which we don't have. I really ought to print one for us. Yeah, you should. You should always have a Reinhart. you need a tank you need to you do you're going to survive longer and win the match if you have a

good tank so that's my advice as well uh this is great go get your free blueprint you guys yeah they're blue that's all the fake wood grain and oh yeah that's really cool down yeah very nice so if you just got a 3d printer on on black friday which i'm just realizing as i looked at my website i did not turn off my black friday sale so if you're listening live you want to deal if you got time Hop in now. I'll fix that after breakfast. Yeah. You just call it Cyber Tuesday or something.

I don't know. We make stuff up now. It's AI Tuesday. Perfect. I love it. That's great. Crams and buzzwords in there. I also think you should always call up blueprints.

Because that's just a fun old school thing to say. It is. And blueprints are cool. Yeah. Oh, there's the Mr. Handy. Oh, look at that. Actual blueprints are so rad. We talked about this.

They really are. Didn't we talked about Framing. something up or doing something with Blueprints. Didn't we talk about that with you? Or am I thinking of something else? I probably talked about I like blueprints. I like talking about them. Yeah, you're a fan. That's awesome. Get over there

you guys before he remembers to turn it off. All right? Sure. But for real, there's a ton of great files over there to print. Go check it out too. We got and have fun. Yeah, go do that. Bill, as always, you've got a little something extra up your sleeve. You always do. What do you got here for us?

This is a maker that I haven't shared yet her name was rachel maxi m a k s y she has a youtube channel she makes really fun cozy projects very cottage core if you could i love that term i can is that a term is that a thing now cottage core yeah cottage core all right and she made a dragon puppet as part of her costume where one of her arms is fake and the other one is up in the head to puppet the dragon that's great I love it it's like a

it's like a it's like a cosplay and a magic trick all together yeah yeah oh that's great yeah

we saw this at DragonCon this year she was there we got to meet her she's a real nice person really excited and very creative

she's got tons and tons of videos I love that I love like just the video the section of the video where she's just got the arm hanging down

then she's got her other arm up mm-hmm does it It looks so freaking real. Yeah, that's amazing. All right. It's a great effect. That one wins.

I feel like I saw her photo somewhere. I didn't know it was an articulated dragon with her. I didn't fall for the, I guess to get the impact, you need to see it in video, not a photo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome.

Go check that out, you guys. Yeah. And go check out the rest of her videos too, especially like I said. If you're looking for something cozy and, and, uh, and, uh, fun, go check out her video. Yeah. It's, uh, Rachel. Maxi, which is, or is it Maxi. Maxi, M-K-K-S-Y.

I love that. And there is a link on QuickTMS.L-I to this video, so I can go there as well. Go check that out, everybody. Bill Duran, it's always a pleasure to have you on. We hope you have a fantastic rest of your November. And we'll see you sometime in December, man. Have a good one. Later, friends.

See you. Bye now. Bye, Bill. I swear to God, it inspires me to go build something every single time. I know. Really, I need to paint some of the things I've already built. That's what I need to do is go. Just go paint stuff.

I did start the airbrushing. Oh, you did? How's that working? Oh, it's great. It's great. Yeah, happy with it still. It's the Harbor Freight. Very happy with it.

Yep, the Harbor Freight Compressor Airbrush combo. I painted seven shield minions or shield troopers for Marvel Zambicide in minutes. I just have to do a little bit of some highlight, some detail with a brush, and we're good to go. That's great. I love a good airbrush. Oh, man. Yeah. Nothing like one that works.

It isn't clogged. Nothing like it. And I love the sound of a little compressor going over there. Very, very easy to clean. And that compressor, the old compressor I had, would, there wasn't a tank on it. So basically, when the compressor ran, you got little air, like bursts of air. Right. So this one is like smaller, a lot quiet.

and works just the way it needs to work. That's great. What did you pay for the combo? I forget. It was cheap. A hundred bucks. See. Airbrush and compressor.

That's less than I... That's less than I paid for the same setup when I was in high school. Oh, yeah. Oh, my airbrush alone, which I still have, I think it's a Coenure, is like a $150, $160 airbrush alone, and then the compressor was expensive, too, I remember. There's at least $100 for the compressor alone. Yeah. So, yeah, go to Harbor Freight and buy cheap things.

Yep. They're not sponsoring, but we would take it. Support the people in the harbor. Why don't you? By buying the stuff that they freight. Let's move on to the end of today's program. However, before we go, there's one last thing. We got one more call.

This is how the hotel world deals with rogue poopers. Now, we had the whole story, right? The Walmart people and all that. Just people who like treading along, all of a sudden drop trow, a little log there, and then keep on walking. Keep on moving. Some poor worker stands and her steps in it or slips in it. Yeah. I guess it started with the Disneyland.

The Avatar ride has a hall of rogue pooping down in Florida. Oh, that's right. Yeah. And then we heard from Gary and all this stuff. So we got this one. This is about hotels because apparently there's some trouble in the hotels. So here you go. This is Teets McLaren, and I heard Gary and Tom's voicemails about their pooping codes.

And when I was in a hotel industry, we used to walk around with walkie-talkies on our hips. And the cleaning staff would sometimes give me a call saying, hey, I got a clogged toilet and sweep so-and-so. So when you're near other guests, it's not the most pleasant thing to hear about a clogged toilet. So I came up with Code 2 for, you know, there's brown incidents when we had a glove toilet. So instead of hearing, I got a glove toilet, they would say, hey, I got a code 2 and sweet, 202. That's a type of thing. Anyway, I'm pleasantly pleased with your show.

And, yeah, cheers. Love it. That's awesome. I love this new trend where people are trying to say it in different ways every time. Right. Other ways of love the show, though. Oh, that's real good. Anyway, but yeah, code two, that makes sense because no one's going to bring up.

You can also just say, I've got James Marsden in room 357. I like that. You haven't watched Jerry Duty yet? No, still haven't, but I know the reference. Okay, good. I need to see that. There's another thing I need to see. I watch The Whale.

I'm catching up. You're catching up, slowly but surely. I like, when I watched Randy's, I was going to watch anyway, but the Sylvester Stallone's Lie documentary, very good. highly recommend watching that it's very good watch that and the Arnold one the Arnold one's in like four parts but this one's a single standalone

thing for like an hour and a half great it's great if you're a fan of 80s action or even any just barely interested in what Stallone did during that era and why and where he succeeded and where he didn't all his struggles is ups and downs that movie's rad but I try to see

the things you guys recommend and fit in my own and you've got exactly you still every week have to come up with something that hasn't been recommended for recommendals. And that's what makes it a little bit tougher. It's hard. You got to cram both of those things in. I get it.

Feel bad for us. It's hard the work we do here. It's hard work. It's really hard. It's the hardest work. The hardest work there is. All right, that's going to do for the show. If you want to call in like he did or Shane or anyone else did earlier in the show, then do it.

It's super easy. You can send us a voicemail at 8. 801-4710462, or you can leave us a direct voice message thing there on the Discord, or if you prefer email, you can do that too, the morning stream at gmail.com. And I would like to remind people that as we get to the end of this month, only a few days left, that we could use you on our Patreon. Patreon.com slash TMS. Let's end this year with style everywhere. We really, yeah, a lot of people don't realize.

all up to frogpents.com slash TMS. Hey, Brian, let's play a song. Speaking of songs, you got a little something there. This one's going out to a friend of the show who writes in and says, I'll tell you who it is at the end. My birthday was November 25th, and this year I will attain the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything when I reach level 42. Any song by Liam Morcioli would be awesome to hear. Thank you for all the great shows. And putting up with my silly quizzes every month, yes, happy birthday TV's Travis.

42, dude, that is great. That put you in this category, though. Happy birthday. You no longer get to party. That's where it goes. 42 is the answer. And when they don't ask for a cover, when they don't ask for a cover of level 42 songs,

I'm always like, why not? You're 42. What are we doing here? Right, exactly. Well, I only have so many covers of something about you. I'm running to the family. We'd have to play the same song every time. The same one over and over and over again.

No, any cover by Liam Moratio. I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right, but that's how I've always pronounced. it. Listen, I was in a little bit of a James Bond theme feeling this week when I was setting up songs. Gosh, don't know why. Be sure to check out the latest episode of Filmsack. This is a cover of one of the more recent songs that we had, a cover of a song that was recorded by Adele. It's Skyfall performed here by Leo.

This is the end. All your breath and count to count to time. earth move and then hear my heart burst again for this is the end I've drowned and dreamt this moment so overdue I owe them swept the way I'm slow Let the sky fall When it crumble We will stand tall

Face it all Together With the sky falls When it crumbles We will stand tall What skyfall? What skyfall? What skyfall?

Sky ball is where we start. A thousand miles and poles upon. Words collide, the days to die. You may have my number. You can take my name But you'll never have my home Let the sky fall When it comes

We will stand down Now face it all Together If the sky falls When it comes We will stand down Face it all Together at Skyfall

Let's skyfall When you're from moon It stands off Let's skyfall Let's skyfall When you're from more It stands off Way of you know, I go.

See I see I know I've never been me Without the security Of your loving arms Keeping me from harm Put your hand in my hand And we'll stand Let the sky fall

When it crumble We will stand tough Let's face it all together with the sky falls When it crumbles We will stand down Face it all together When sky fall Oh!
