Starting point is 00:01:13 Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, January, June, January 30th. It's going to be further from that. It is the year 2024. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Abbott. Hello. hello hello good morning everyone we hope you had a good day yesterday yes well i had a busy day yesterday we we did finally get our room block code oh shit plaza what and uh yeah is it uh is it up on
Starting point is 00:01:46 the side is it where are we putting that it is we've got it on viva tms vegas vegas com, a link to where you can get the, order your hotel, all that stuff, and then we've also gotten the Discord. And so my afternoon was spent figuring
Starting point is 00:02:04 out how to transfer people who did the Cyber Monday thing, make sure that they get on the room block. I had to create another page on the site and a form for people to fill out so that they can get the thing transferred over to our room block it was basically my afternoon was basically shot because of that
Starting point is 00:02:26 damn that damn cyber Monday deal which turns out wasn't that great a deal compared to what we get to the for the for the room block so um oh yeah let that be a lesson that maybe you just wait until we get the room block or I won't announce dates before cyber Monday next time right just wait yeah like we well whatever I'm glad you explored it because then now we kind of know and that's good to know that we're it's good to know now we know exactly so well it's sort of worth it i say that easily because i didn't do it you did definitely worth all my trouble yesterday it was yeah exactly anyway but between the the discounted room uh room rate the discounted resort fees it's actually like the difference is uh is is minimal for most people so good just uh that's great
Starting point is 00:03:16 yeah i am uh excited about this prospect we're all going to Vegas everyone it's going to be oh my god it's happening help help it's happening got a got a couple of big feedbacks today uh one is how some people do this thing at home we were talking the other day about how we have maybe it was with wendy or something but like yeah i might be playing a game on my steam deck him might be watching one of her dumb shows or whatever exactly yep or whatever the arrangement is he just is and that's how we do it it's fine this person says uh this is not let's see is this an anonymous yeah they didn't leave a name was the text he says this is how my wife and i spend most of our evening she watches her
Starting point is 00:03:57 shows on a 55 inch television stacked on top of the 65 inch tv that i play my video games on he says it's her fault she bought me an xbox and the tv and did uh did she expect or what did she expect to happen so yeah it's so imagine like a double screen he's i assume he either he has headphones on or she does or maybe both. There's no way you both have audio going. Yeah. Now the question I would have is says his is stacked on top or the littler one is stacked on top of his. That would be distracting for me to be her in this scenario because she's trying to watch a show and she's got wackadoo graphics right below it on a larger screen going off. Can you focus? I guess is what I'm saying. Yeah. I mean, I'm thinking about like when I'm, if I'm at a sports bar and there's something I'm watching,
Starting point is 00:04:46 if there's a game on one TV and it's right next to another TV. I definitely will find myself glancing over at the other TV if there's like something really, you know, going crazy on that other TV. But I think I can focus enough on one to not be distracted too much by the other. But it's funny though. And it makes me wonder, like, so the 65-inch TV, is that like a console TV? Like, you're not stacking a flat panel on a flat panel probably. Yeah, it doesn't say here, I would, so I'm going to assume they're both flat panels, because that's the era we live in.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Yeah. And if they are, I don't think you can get a 65 inch console TV anyway, but. Maybe they say, maybe when he says stacked, he means mounted. You know what I mean? Right, they're mounted one below the other, that sort of thing. And when your neighbors come over, what do they say? What do they do? What does family say when they come over and go, oh, I like your double TV setup?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Right, exactly. Like, boy, you guys must watch a lot of stuff. at the same time. I've heard a picture and picture, but this is crazy. Yeah. Well, we appreciate the insight because I have no idea how that would work. That's crazy. Yeah, I'll do the, I have the iPad on my lap and use my dual sense or whatever this one's called.
Starting point is 00:06:03 They would call it dual sense anymore. It's still dual sense. It used to be dual shock. Then it was dual. That's right. The new one's the dual sense. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:13 There's some new thing, dual edge or something like that. or am I thinking of a... Oh, I don't know. Okay. Not that I know. But anyway, yeah, I've been getting into... I've been playing... What is this stupid thing called?
Starting point is 00:06:25 I've got to describe it. It's a... Hoyoverse, one of these anime... These anime video games, and it's called Honkai Star Rail. Oh, yeah. This is like... What's the other one where...
Starting point is 00:06:42 Genshin Impact kind of thing? Yeah, like... Genshin Impact... space or with sci-fi stuff. Right, with a flying train in space, space train, basically. Yeah, very popular. People like that game a lot. Yeah, I noticed, like, as soon as I got into
Starting point is 00:06:55 it was like, oh, who else in your game center is playing this? Hikito is playing this. I'm like, okay, well, there, you know, that makes sense. Yeah. But there's a character in there named March 7th. Oh. Like a female character wearing the typical anime,
Starting point is 00:07:12 you know, that very conservative very, you know, good for agile dodging and stuff like that with all the ribbons all around and the playing things. That's how you know you're playing an anime game for sure.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Exactly. So I'm playing that and although it did just download my pre-order of Death Stranding on the iPad. So I might switch over to that. But I'm loving, you know, basically loving having all this stuff just here with the dual sense on my lap, all Tina's
Starting point is 00:07:40 watching a real housewives or watching a project runway or something like that. What do they charge for the death straining on that? The pre-order was 20 bucks, was 1999. That's interesting. I guess I can get it for about that on sale on Steam or on the PlayStation or Xbox. Yeah, I'm just curious. I don't know if it's probably still the same price.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I imagine it's still within the introductory deal. Yeah, when they claimed they were bringing these games over, my worry was they were going to try. try to do the whole, the full $59.99 that everybody charges everywhere. So it's good to hear they're not. That would be bad. But that game's been around long enough that I'm sure it's nice and optimized. It'll play well.
Starting point is 00:08:26 I tried playing that game. I couldn't get very far. Death Stranding? Yeah. It's very much a, it's got a style for days. But it's basically a walking simulator with some, with occasional. scenes in it. It's hard to explain. Oh, really? It's hard to explain. It's a weird game. Like, it's very divisive, too. There are people who absolutely adore it. And there are people who are like,
Starting point is 00:08:53 dude, Kajima is just smelling his own farts these days. I don't know. I don't land that extreme on it, but I just felt I felt like I was like just walking around a lot. And it was beautiful. Trust me. Don't get me wrong. Beautiful landscapes, amazing walking around as walking around goes. but there is a lot of walking around. Slowly. Oh, by the way, the new PlayStation controller is the Dual Sense Edge. And I don't know what they added with the edge. But I knew something came out recently where they were introducing our new Dual Sense
Starting point is 00:09:26 Edge Controller. Oh, yeah. It's got a better battery life. I know that. More buttons underneath the analog sticks, it looks like. Oh, is this their pro? This basically their elite competitor. Probably.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Yeah, because it's a $200. control. Yeah, that's the one. Yeah, I can tell you that won't be happening. No, there's no reason for that. If you get it on sale or something, I did that with, uh, let's see, is it. Oh, I don't know where it is, but I got a rate 86 says worst battery life. Jeez. Yeah, on that one, it's worse. But they are doing a second generation PS5 dual sense. It's just called the dual sense. It's just their new skew. Um, and that does have better battery life. But that is not what, that is not what you're looking at. But this thing that I got right here, this is this is Microsoft. equivalent to the this is their elite two or whatever it's called and it has the same thing as options for a bunch of crap on the bottom well macros or whatever yeah assignable buttons how deep you want the triggers to go you can swap out sticks for different sticks it's the same idea i think you can customize the sony one too cool it's nice but two hundred dollars nice i don't know man nope definitely not no especially when the battery life is worse exactly um here's a good one Sven from baseball camp wrote in.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Yeah. I'm Sven from baseball camp. He doesn't, I mean, we hear his name sometimes as a patron, but we never really hear from him, and it's good to hear from him. He says, when he grew up, they call it something different than Home-Eck.
Starting point is 00:10:55 You were talking about Home-Eck being a class you took. He says, Heidi Ho, Biology and Statistics. When I was in middle school, we didn't have home economics. They called it Family and Consumer Sciences, which I always thought was bizarre. That's like saying, intermediate wingdings and squiggles instead of calculus.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Yeah. Tootles, says Finn. Yeah, they didn't call it that in our school. Family and consumer services. Oh, can't wait to sign up for that class. That sounds like it's going to be a riot. I mean, they call it sciences, but what's the, what's the science? I guess the science is the science of baking a cake.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I don't know how to make a cake and budget for the cake. And ironing a sheet. Sure. Going to Smith's and spending under $10. Right. exactly those sorts of things i remember they would for homack we had to do a couple of away missions where they were sure where we left the school went to a grocery store had a budget and then had to and it was something low it was like 10 bucks or something and you had to figure out how to get the
Starting point is 00:11:56 most nutrition for 10 dollars right and then the teams would all split off kind of food network competition style and we would all run around and find all our stuff and come back make your right make a meal just 10 dollars worth of ingredients from the Smiths. Yeah, yeah. It was, I don't know, did I learn something? Probably not. I don't feel like I did.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Future life choices have proven that I really didn't. No, clearly, exactly, clearly not. Somebody in the Discord had sent a video about some tortilla-wrapped, tortilla with potato-wrapped hot dog thing or a sausage. Sounds all right. That's what it was. It was sausage and potato wrapped or deep-fried or something. I mean, you know, the first, like, the more you, the more you, you. add into this the better it sounds right like doing it canoli style with bread and then baking it sounds
Starting point is 00:12:45 amazing yeah i agree yeah i would do that starchy but sure i'm of the opinion that anything is better when you wrap it in a tortilla either late in the game or if it's an early part of your recipe doesn't matter yeah just a big flour tortilla is it makes everything better there's there's something about that i mean look at you know taco bell ah we can sell a toostata to save our lives what do we do let's wrapping tortilla. Crunch wrap Supreme. Now it sells like hotcakes. Yeah, our hottest menu item, I think. I think they still sell them all of those than anything else because they do breakfast and they have a lunch version of it and all that. I always like it. I always worry though. This is a worry that is stupid. I admit ahead of time, but I'll tell you the worry
Starting point is 00:13:25 anyway. Crunch wrap Supreme seemed like the perfect little folded up unit that a little like a little roachy bug could get into and hang out in. I don't know why. Why not a burrito? Because burritos, I feel like I can get into one end of it and kind of see what's up. I doubt that very much. It's opaque. That's true. But once you can take it.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Be the same roach that hides in your crunch wrap supreme could be hiding your burritos. You're not wrong, but I can find out quicker because I can take that. And I often do this, not to check for bugs, but usually to make sure they got my order right, I will take the flap of the burrito, open it a little bit, kind of dig in there and say, oh, okay, that's steak. Here, yours is chicken, you know, that kind of thing. Right. But in the case of the CrunchRap Supreme, it's like a maze in there. Sure.
Starting point is 00:14:13 You know what I mean? Exactly. I mean, there's a whole subfloor that you've got a breakthrough and check under and stuff like that. Yeah. And there's no easy way in because it's been baked shut. So you have the, it's almost like a strata. Yeah. It's like a little, it's like one of those sci-fi doors that is circular and goes,
Starting point is 00:14:32 roonk when it opens. A little airlock. the crunch wrap airlock yeah I feel like I can't get into those but yeah I've never had I should say I've never had the problem but I think about it sure I think sure
Starting point is 00:14:44 I mean you had the you had the bug in your what was it a you had a dirt clot in a salad at Carl's Jr. had a bug you had a footprint in your Wendy's burger yep yeah never had a bug in something I don't think I had a bug in anything or did I maybe I did I
Starting point is 00:15:00 I don't know I've had some bad luck with food yeah but yeah I still haven't been to a Carl's Jr. since that sand thing. Not once. In fact, they just closed down the closest Carl's Jr. I had. They just closed it down and replaced it with some chicken place. So I don't think I'm ever going again. Well done, Carl's Jr. You put magic sand. You brought them down. Right down the franchise. Finally. Finally, indeed. Let's move on to this. This is another message we got. Sure. How the fake baby thing may have worked. out so the whole yeah that olive garden fake baby yeah situation it was very weird still don't quite know what to make of it but here's the email uh it says hey scott and brian another another thought on the fake baby at the olive garden maybe uh sorry might be that the little girl was really attached to the doll and kind of treats it like a real baby and ended up going the extra
Starting point is 00:15:55 mile and started putting it into the car carrier also so that's an interesting point i still don't get why the quote unquote mother here or whatever her role was left for 25 minutes that's That seems like the, for me, that is the bigger question mark. The baby thing, it's like, all right, you know, I mean. And it seemed like the, the girl was more interested in drawing than doing anything with the baby doll and the carrier, right? Yeah, she didn't go near the baby. She didn't even go by the baby. The whole time she's over there drawing and coloring.
Starting point is 00:16:22 She had no interest that I could tell. But maybe that's a security thing where it's in proximity and it's just sort of around. I don't know. It could easily be the situation. It says they went on to say it could have been the car carrier that her mom used when she was a baby. and mom still had it somewhere in storage, then pulled it out at some point for the daughter to play pretend with, and now it's just got to go everywhere with them.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Okay, I'll give you a P for possible. It's possible. Yeah, I think you just got to look to the most likely scenario, which is the mom has this baby doll for whatever reason. Either it's a, it's kind of her proxy for a real baby. Maybe something happened. She lost a baby, and this is her way of, processing that or
Starting point is 00:17:08 maybe she just you know it's just the thing that she's obsessed with and she was out doing a drug deal and that's why she left her child alone it's the most obvious that's the most obvious part especially the drug part you got to go out in the barking lot of
Starting point is 00:17:23 of an olive garden right to score some smack yeah it's probably the situation yeah I hope she sold it for a good price and that that doll that kid are well taken care of. You're right. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Still really weird. All I know is they didn't need to see John. John didn't have to go over there and talk to her. No, but it just blows my mind that you let John come back and you didn't press him for details. Like you just let him go and find out he comes back and you just silently like walk to the car. You know why though. It's because anytime you probe him for anything, you're going for like a three hour conversation. Yeah, you didn't want to get it.
Starting point is 00:18:02 I totally get it. Yeah. because he'll he'll slowly destroy me if I let him talk too much and if he's if he's watching on Facebook right now because we're streaming on Facebook John if you're listening there's still a lot of love here okay I'm just saying yeah all right one quick final little stupid thing that happened this is so dumb like you know we had kind of a hard weekend with the sick baby and everything oh and Van got it we got a call last night around 9. Oh, no. So really
Starting point is 00:18:34 was a bug that that Phoebe was experiencing and now it's traveled. It's made its way to van. It's made his way to van. So he's up yacking all night and poor kid, he hates it. Hates throwing up. He's like me. Just cannot stand throwing up. When you're a kid, you can't help it. Later in life, he'll be
Starting point is 00:18:50 like me and hold it back whenever it's time. Listen, that's, but if I don't want to be, it's kind of like that same phrase, right? I don't want to be a member of any club that wouldn't have me. So if there's something out of my body that needs to get out, hey, either poop it out, barf it out, I don't care, let it out. If it doesn't want to be there, I don't want it in there either.
Starting point is 00:19:10 It's the right attitude that you have. It's just my body will not let me do it, and I don't know why. I've tried, I've done the, not to get too indelicate here, I've done the fingers thing. Didn't work. Really? Oh, wow. I've never stuck my fingers down mine or anybody else's throat. Oh, good, because that would have been what gross got out the most.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, you see it happen in movies all the time. Like, help her puke it out. Put your fingers down the throat. Mm-hmm. Also, you at one... Next time on Euphoria. You're not too far off.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Previously on Euphoria. And coming up next on Euphoria, stick your fingers out of throat. Yeah, every episode of Euphoria. Look forward to it. Yeah. Check this out right here. This is just a nice throwback.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Hey, I'm going to actually have to put the headphones down for a second and go throw up. No, I learned that day. That does not sound like a person that is bothered. or upset by having to go through. No, you're not at all. That person, that person on that audio is not even worked up at all about the idea. It's just like, no, this is a natural thing.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And we all should admire that. Yeah. It's like, oh, hey, dog scratch at the door. I got to go let him out. It's that level of, uh, I wish it was for me. I don't know why it isn't. I don't know why it isn't. I'm not the only one.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I keep running into people who are like, I'm the same way. and they're like now they feel they feel emboldened to speak up yeah because of my my uh my my great sacrifice here publicly i don't see it as a sense of pride i think if you if your body says hey uh that that that old chicken you ate um we we can't have that here there's no place for that here uh yeah i'm gonna be setting it back i'm setting it back to the uh the i agree with you there is no pride in it i what i don't understand is how i have no control i have no control over it. It's like the opposite of someone who can't stop throwing up all
Starting point is 00:21:03 the time. Right. I have that the flip. I just can't. I can't get it out. My mom does this too. You just can't barf. And it's, I'm sure it's like psychologically reinforced cement. Oh, it totally is. I mean, the fact that it, that it
Starting point is 00:21:19 frequently comes up on film sack in a movie what gross got out the most. Either the barfing or the lead, you know, the main character kisses a girl 10 minutes after barfing or something like that oh gosh that is always the worst there is a thing in your head that is like there's traveled down to your whole your muscle system your muscular and is controlling keeping you from barfing yeah you're absolutely right are you gonna throw up
Starting point is 00:21:46 I already did yeah that's my life right there yeah my favorite my favorite part of Notting Hill that was such a great there's the there's the the climax of Notting Hill as well love that Love that scene. It's so good. Yeah. You should do a sequel. I'm just a man standing in front. There's a scene like that, and Beau was afraid that I, I don't recommend for the squeamish, but, oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:22:15 You had me at hurrah. Yeah. So check this out. Dogs. I have three right now. We don't own three, but I have three because we have R2. We have, that sounds like we have a robot. we have a droid we have rippley the weimeriner carter's dog technically and we have uh rayner
Starting point is 00:22:36 the jim raynor the female dog my dog right and then temporarily anyway we have nick's dog boomer named after the uh female fighter pilot turned uh yeah turned sylon battle star galactic lady we were all big fans of that for a long time so we named a no we named a few dogs we had a Hilo for a while. Did you? Yeah. We got really into that. But anyway, so Boomer lives here now, for now, until the baby's born.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And it's fine most of the time. Yesterday, one of them, Boomer, went out and ate one of the other dog's poops. And I intervened as quick as I could. Sure. But before we went in, that self-same dog, Boomer, barfed up whatever she ate. Just br-h-h, into the dirt. Uh-huh. Then Rainer ate that barf, and then I got all after her, and then she eventually barfed the barf.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And then I stopped Ripley just short of eating the third part barf. They were all just, I don't know what happened there. I don't know if there was like a secret little ingredient that was like catniped to dogs in the original poop. Oh, they just couldn't resist kind of thing. Yeah, dude. It was an ugly scene. It was a real shit show, a real horror movie. and uh anyway take care of your uh dogs i guess is what i'm saying yeah that's the bottom line
Starting point is 00:24:00 brian it's time for some news we're going to learn something about the world around us and here it is right here now today's news is brought to you by you can unmute now uh rowdy little dame com this is a client of mine a friend of mine named jenny she's she is the rowdy little dame She is incredibly talented greeting card maker, also embroidery, stuff like that.

Um, uh, she also, uh, has a really cool thing where she does a variety set of cards called choose your own adventure where you go through and find the cards that you want. Combine them in one set and get a bundle deal. That's a rowdy little dame.com. Rowdy little or is it Lill? Little. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Routy little dame.com. Good. I would like to commend her on her choice of not she's doing little. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because she could have. She could have. But yes, she did. Thank goodness. She did. And, yes. There it is, chat.
Starting point is 00:25:23 There's your website. Check it out. Look at it. Oh, it's very nice. I like it. Oh, thank you. Yeah, it's very, uh, very straightforward woo commerce, uh, but, uh, oh my gosh, she looks like she could be sisters with Megan Monroe from, uh, um, uh, she used to work
Starting point is 00:25:41 at Twit, been on DTN's a couple times. Oh, really, okay. She looks like a blonde version of her. That's crazy. Oh, funny. Or not Megan Monroe. Megan, M, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, I can't remember. The lolly.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Ma. M. M. The sudden we're barbarian. Never forget that lady. All right. Let's get to this news. Walmart.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Maroon. Maron. That's what I was trying to say. Gosh, dang it. We got a Walmart story. Oh, gosh. Okay. So, yeah, keep muting, folks, if you're squeamish.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Yeah, you can unmute after. Walmart slammed after they gifted employees 55-cent ramen to work during a blizzard. Oh, nice. How generous. Yeah, really kind-hearted of them in management. Walmart has been slammed in a viral TikTok video after the company gifted its employees 55 cent ramen for working during a blizzard. I remember when that stuff was 28 cents. Yeah, that was such a college staple for us of like,
Starting point is 00:26:40 hey, we need something really, really cheap that we can eat every day for lunch and dinner. Yeah. As I've mentioned before, it was called Korean soup in our house. Oh, really? I don't know why we did that. We just called it Korean soup. Well, we had all the Koreans, but... You know, it's good that you did because I think a lot of really good restaurants that sell ramen
Starting point is 00:27:01 probably suffer from the fact that people associate ramen with 28-cent brick of flavorless noodles that come with a foil packet, which is the only flavor that that thing's going to have. And because my next-door neighbors had that same thing. It's like, hey, we're going out for ramen tonight. Do you want to come with us? And they're like, ramen? like the little bricks you get at the store oh man that sucks to not have been exposed to real ramen so much better than ramen like uh so much better than the stuff you you remember from college
Starting point is 00:27:33 that's like saying i'm we're going to have mac and cheese i don't know that's like saying we're gonna have pasta and people saying oh that's like the mac and cheese no there's a whole world of pasta out there yeah exactly there's creamy peen how you know don't don't forget that don't forget the creamy Penny Paine? Yes, exactly. Let's see. The Arctic Blast, which affected much of the country throughout the week, dropped temperatures below zero in several areas.
Starting point is 00:27:57 And their workplace wasn't closed due to severe weather. Workers were in for quite a trek, according to The Daily Dot. Now, I just think of what's her name in Juno Temple is Dot. Anyway. The Daily Dot, sure. I wish I was getting my weekly dot, but that shows over. Love her. A TikToker by the name, Millsy, posted a video criticizing Walmart.
Starting point is 00:28:18 which has garnered over a half a million views. Per the outlet, Millsy is employed at Walmart in Rockford, Illinois, which saw these temperatures drop to negative six degrees, Fahrenheit during the day. In the video, Millsy can be seen speaking before a social media post, uh,
Starting point is 00:28:32 uh, featuring a photo of two employees at a table stacked with cases of Manchurin ramen. So it's even that brand. That Manchurin? Yeah, Maruchan. Muturon or have you said? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:46 So wait, so she's, is one of those where she's just super. superimposed in front of somebody else's post and she's just telling you what the post says well no it's her stuff it is her stuff but you can do that you can do that to your own videos you can yeah it's basically just a green screen hack in the in the app yeah oh yeah um anyway people aren't happy uh it says here oh here's the post by walmart and rockford it was captioned this burr it's cold outside we appreciate our associates for having brave the cold out there stay warm with some ramen noodle soup and crackers lame awesome with crackers too oh my gosh whoa i buried i buried the headline i buried the headline obviously it was very generous with the crackers right oh my
Starting point is 00:29:31 moving on to some uh some some dirty thievery here oh no okay all right during an ex-mobs or sorry dying ex-mobster so is an ex-mob guy dying sure that didn't make sense the first time I said it. In case he did us to break down a dying ex-mobster. Yeah, let me rephrase it. I always like to read it in two very different ways,
Starting point is 00:29:57 but meaning the same thing. Exactly, just to help those who, yeah. He stole a Wizard of Oz Ruby pair of slippers, or the Wizard of Oz Ruby slippers. Yeah. Is spared prison time for the act. Here's why.
Starting point is 00:30:11 This will all make sense. He's dying. He was admitted to stealing the Ruby slippers Judy Garland War in Wizard of Oz Has been spared a custodial sentence Terry John Martin He doesn't have a nickname which is a bummer I was hoping for like Terry two-toes Martin Right exactly Terry fingers Martin
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yeah that's how you do proper mob talk He's age 76 Pleaded guilty in October of the theft of major Of this major artwork or of major artwork Hold on my watch just fell off I'm going to put it over here Don't know why that happened His daughter or sorry his lawyer
Starting point is 00:30:43 had asked him for no, maybe she's his daughter, or she is, I don't know, who knows? I'm so glad we don't have a therapy Thursday to read today. No, that'd be a real bummer. His lawyers had asked for no time behind bars and struck a plea deal of four-time served. Martin said, he stole the slippers so he could have, quote, one last score.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Oh, my gosh. After the old mob associate convinced him to carry it out in this heist in 2005. It's like every heist movie, one last score. Just going for that one last score I can't take me out of the business I'm going to do one more This is during a hearing in Duluth, Minnesota
Starting point is 00:31:22 There's some like Fargo shit going on here It is, yeah Yeah, it's close to where those things were being being shown Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'd one season anyway They spent some time in Duluth And no, I meant it was close to where the ruby slippers were Oh, oh, oh, got it I get it now
Starting point is 00:31:40 The former mobster showed no emotion when the sentence was read and was unable to get up from his chair after the hearing ended. He's previously served time for several burglaries. He's been quite the burglar. He burglars. Yeah. He's a burglar. Yeah. He likes to do the burgle.
Starting point is 00:31:56 He's in hospice care with a life expectancy of six months. So he doesn't have much to go. The ruby slippers were taken from Minnesota Museum in 2005 when somebody broke in through a window late at night. Sounds like it was him. Asking for leniency, Martin's defense lawyer, Dane McCray, Decree. wrote in a memo last week that his client had not committed any crimes in nearly 10 years
Starting point is 00:32:18 after last being released from prison. And if I had a former mob associate has contacted and attempted him to grab the slippers which were on loan to the museum by Judy Garland's people in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. At first, Terry declined the invitation
Starting point is 00:32:35 to participate in the heist, but old habits die hard. And the thought of a final score kept him up at night, the crazy says. Yeah. I feel like Robert Redford did this in the movie Heist. One last score. Just one last one. Yeah. Very heisty.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Yeah. So I didn't realize that those things were stolen back in 2005. Do we know like has this been, did they just get them back recently or? They don't say. I guess it just, I mean, obviously they know he took him. Yeah. But they don't have any, they don't say where the things are now. If the Ruby slippers have been in his possession for the
Starting point is 00:33:12 past 19 years or something. Maybe he's been wearing them. Who knows? A little stretched out. I mean, I don't want to, you know, everybody can do their own thing. But if you want to wear ladies slippers, that's up to you. All right. Oh, this is interesting.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I guess, I guess don't go after the chickens because this story could happen to you. Chickens have been rescued from online reality TV style set in Cumberland. Where's Cumberland? Let's see. Cumberland Tiverland Tiverton is another place These sound like
Starting point is 00:33:47 UK places Near Tiverton Near Cumberland and Tivetan Rhode Island Oh well shit It's not as exotic as I thought Not quite as exotic as There's only three cities apparently
Starting point is 00:34:00 In Rhode Island Those are two of them Providence being the third Of course All right so here's what we've got According to the West Palace Animal Sanctuary in Tiverton The 10 chickens
Starting point is 00:34:10 were being used to produce Fish Tank, an online reality TV style show. Hold on, I don't like this. No, I don't either. Online reality TV style show. Right. That should be online reality style TV show. Right, we don't need the word TV, doesn't need to be in there. I mean, why not just call it an online reality show called Fish Tank?
Starting point is 00:34:36 I don't get it. It's TV style. Well, yeah. when we watch something online anything we watch online is TV style. They got monkeys running the turn to 10.com news site this is terrible. Yeah. It's a dumb
Starting point is 00:34:49 way to say it. It really is. And that was the other reason I thought maybe it was British and I just didn't know about a turn of phrase or phrase or something. Because of the way they phrase things in here. Yeah, sure. Anyway, that's really dumb. Anyway, this is a show that streams 24-7 from a house there in Cumberland. Has something to do with chickens.
Starting point is 00:35:04 West Palace, or sorry, West Place spokesman Patrick Cole said the production crew member contacted them in uh about removing the birds i always forget chickens are birds is that a weird thing yes that's a weird thing i really do because i don't think of them is fly flying much sure you know you know right they don't uh they're not like uh your seagulls or your crows or your uh you're flying your sparrows yeah whenever they come up i just go they are oh yeah they're a bird they're feathered food food well uh farm food basically feathered farm food yeah and they grow up you know tight quarters in a warehouse.
Starting point is 00:35:40 It's not like they're out flying free and enjoying themselves. Or they grow up TV style in an online reality show. That's right. Reality TV style. Let's see. They wanted to help removing the birds, which had been released in the house for a comedy bit. But the producers didn't think it was so funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Yeah. I don't think it's very funny either. I don't think. Yeah. It's not nice. So just releasing them in the house. Yeah. Well, and then they said they told the producers they wanted the chickens gone and had discussed abandoning the domestic birds outside or leaving them on the highway.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Well, that's not much better, is it? God, no, that's worse. Jeez. According to Cole, the rescue workers from West Palace arrived Saturday, and the chickens were in the garage surrounded by cardboard boxes that were used as a makeshift pen. They provide a permanent home to the farm animals rescued from the abuse, they said. So that's cool. Oh, they can't keep all the new arrivals. got to figure something out.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Okay. They only have, say, they have 100 animals in their care, so these birds represent a 10% increase, and so they're not sure they can do it. That's good math, right? We have 100 animals, but we have 10 new chickens, which is 10% more animals.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Yep. Thank you, WJAR for this hard-hitting math problem. Yeah, that's about the best you've done in this whole article. Chickens were available or will be available to adopt, if you wanted to adopt one, but they have to do two-week quarantine. I assume because birds carry all kinds of weird disease shit, right? Yeah, exactly. You can't be getting no SARS.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And just looking at this photo of the conditions, like sitting here next to a box of staples and those, you know, a coiled-up extension cord and a Toro lawnmower, it's like these poor chickens were just kept in the worst conditions. No, it was bad. I hate animal cruelty. I don't like it either You know what?
Starting point is 00:37:38 Be nice to every animal No matter what kind they are Such delicious delicious Animal cruelty That's right Meat is murder Delicious murder That's how you look at it
Starting point is 00:37:48 That's a delicious delicious murder We're second Claire off in the chat Wonderful Our most vocal Irish vegan Yeah Our most vocal Viral viral
Starting point is 00:38:00 She's not Maybe she is viral I don't know Just be careful around Claire She is viral yeah Just be careful is all I'm saying. Let's get to this final story.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Man escapes a burning building and then died in another fire days later. Oh, this sucks. It's a final destination. Yeah, a little bit. It's a little bit like when you hear about people who get struck by lightning three times and the third time it killed them and it was all within a week. Or they get struck by lightning three times and then they get hit by a car. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:29 It does feel like final destination. A little, yeah, exactly. Man who escape one fire has died after being unable to flee, flee a separate blaze only two days later according to Russian state media this was in Russia the unidentified man who lived in the city
Starting point is 00:38:43 of Saratov in southwestern Russia, man is to escape the fire in his fourth floor apartment on January 23rd but died in another fire on the 25th as a result of the emergency this is a quote, a man born in 1973 died that's
Starting point is 00:38:58 they report their news a lot very much differently in Russia. Yeah. We usually say things like... A man born in 1973 died. That's it. Everybody move along and that's the whole... That's the news.
Starting point is 00:39:16 All of a sudden, W.J.A.R. Whatever it is, is looking a little bit better than the reporting agency of the TV reality TV style chicken set. I don't know if it's ironic or what this is, but it was his own cigarette that did the deed in the second fire. Oh, no, in the second fire? Oh, geez. Maybe the first fire was a cigarette, too.
Starting point is 00:39:37 They didn't say, but it's hard to say. Let's see. They believe, they thought a cigarette believed to start the second fire. And the fire until the 23rd, oh, here it is. The mattress and the man's home was set alight, but he managed to flee safety. It was unclear whether that was getting injured. We don't know if that was also smoking. Probably was if I had to guess.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Just because smoking in bed is a bad thing, don't be doing that. You have to do that. Or vape. Well, they got over there. In Russia, vape vapes you. What do they do? They got vapes, right? I'm sure they have vapes.
Starting point is 00:40:08 At least vapes don't have burning ashes that fall down off the end if you fall asleep. You need to press the button to get the... I have no idea how vapes work. I assume there's a button you push. I think there's a button, but maybe you just suck on it. I don't know how vaping works either. Does anyone in the chat want to clear that up? Because vapors, we've got to have some vapors.
Starting point is 00:40:28 I'm sure there's some vapors, yeah. How does it work? Yeah, so they have batteries. Sure, but they're... Claire says batteries can explode, but they're just... tiny little lithium ion batteries. They're not going to blow up. Those aren't going to blow up.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Yeah, look at that video of the dude walking around the convenience store and all of a sudden his pocket explodes and he's got like horrible burns from his vape pen exploding. Oh, I thought that was his phone. Is that a vape? No, I think that was a vape. Oh, okay. A couple years ago, yeah. I mean, I know there have been cases of certain phones popping off.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Bones will totally do it. Yeah. Planes and stuff. I'm going to try to remember that as I sit very tightly against my phone right now. I'm going to take it out. I'm going to put it right. Sit tightly. Sit tightly against your phone. Yeah, the way my chair works, it, I don't know, kind of mushes it up against my thigh.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And I don't want to do that, you know? I typically just can't have a phone in my pocket when I sit down. It's just not comfortable cell. It's on my desk when I'm, well, I'm standing up anyway, but it's at my desk when I'm sitting here working. It's on the couch next to me when I'm sitting down watching TV. Do you ever lose your phone? Car keys? You ever lose your car keys?
Starting point is 00:41:33 No, do you ever have you ever lost your phone? had to, like, scramble to find it or any of that? No, uh-uh. No, it goes, it stays with me, like, so, you know, if I get up and I'm on the couch, I take the phone with me, but, uh... I left a pair of fancy, not fancy, but a nice pair of gloves. They were decent gloves. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:41:50 At that same restaurant at the Olive Garden for the baby thing. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot to mention this, but I think that's partly why I forgot them, because I was so focused on this bait, this fake baby. So I just left them. By the whole baby in abandonment situation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:04 So I just left them on the little. little bench there because we were in a larger table with a bench back on it and then we called them later and said hey we're coming back there for some gloves are you guys still open yeah we're open so we stop in there they scoured everywhere they couldn't find it they think oh no i mean somebody took them but we can't figure out who and the the only person that would have been back there cleaning or doing anything would have been the bus boy so i think there's a bus boy with a fancy pair of gloves and my only sure your new isotoners bus boy yeah these were they're not too fancy, but they do have the let-me-touch screen tips.
Starting point is 00:42:38 The half-wick little finger. I love those, yeah. Yeah, that's the only way to go. I love them. I have a pair of pink Allstate ones that I got from one of Tina's Cancer Walks that are fuzzy. They look like Muppet Hands, but they've got those little, you know, touch your screen kind of things that's like great. Perfect. I should wear those.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I want to see those on you. I'll wear them. I'll put them on sometime. Pink fuzzy gloves. Pink fuzzy gloves. Old Brian pink fuzzy gloves will call you. That'll be your new new thing. Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:09 There was something else I was going to say about, oh, yeah, so we, T and I went to the Olive Garden a couple weeks ago ourselves. I wonder if I talked about this. But when you're in the lobby, your family, when you're in the lobby and you're waiting for your table, there's a coat rack. Yes, there is. And we noticed that on the coat rack, there were like two or three coats. Does somebody walk into the Olive Garden, take off their coat, and hang it on the
Starting point is 00:43:35 coat rack in the lobby and then go to their table? I mean, I'm going to say yes, that's what it's for, but I don't, I would never do that. Yeah, it feels like I would never do that. I mean, hell, if you lose your gloves, I mean, that's a good way to make sure you lose your coat too, but. I don't even feel comfortable
Starting point is 00:43:51 giving, like when some, you go to a fancy place and they're like, yes, we'll take your stuff or whatever. I don't even like that. Even though I know it's fine, they're going to, when I do this with my phone in a place that won't let you take phones in like a theater or something. Yeah. I hate that feeling. I know that's going to fine, but I hate it.
Starting point is 00:44:06 The places that do that, though, don't they give you, like, we went to a comedy club that does this, and they give you a locked, zippered pouch that you put your phone in, and you keep it with you, but you, you basically keep the little pouch with you, but you can't access your phone, you can't do anything with it, but so you, well, I don't think I've been to a place where they take my phone like that. Yeah, I could tell you the place, it's this, um, theater, old theater downtown. crap it's awesome though I saw Seinfeld there years ago can't remember the place but anyway that's how they did it maybe they do a different
Starting point is 00:44:43 now it's been years since I've gone but that makes sense like I know if you go to who is it Dave Chappelle has like really strict Dave Chappelle will do that where yeah you can't have your phone there some escape rooms will will lock your phone in a thing give you the key to it but it's like a little locker in the entrance and you have to put your stuff in there so they know you're not cheating I think we did that last year I think so. I think that place did.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Yeah, right. Yeah, we had a little locker thing. Yeah, yeah. Worked out just fine. Yeah. Well, anyway. I'm excited. We might be doing another one this year.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Are you aware of that? I am aware of it. And I don't love the subject matter, but I'm going to give it a swing. I'm going to give it a shot. It sounds like it's going to scare a little living shit out of me. I'm hoping so because it'll be great content for a live show. Yeah, I can't wait. Someone to have a camera already, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Although they don't let you take cameras. there, do they? Can you film in there? Yeah, but I think there's, I think we could probably work something out. Okay. It's probably like a little go, they're not going to check you for a GoPro. Yeah, you could hide, you could hide like a little chesty camera. My phone, but as a matter of fact, this place did it before and did one of them before, and they didn't even have a problem with our phones going.
Starting point is 00:45:55 They just said, yeah, keep them in your pockets. Don't, don't take anything out. So they weren't hardcore about it? No, no. That's good. It's not like you get good connection in there, Anyway, that stuff gets bad. Exactly. Yeah, with all the, and especially, geez, this one, without giving anything away, it's like you're probably in a giant Faraday cage, so you're going to be just fine.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Yeah. Not Daniel Faraday Cage, but Faraday Cage. I always hear that name, and I have to think of that guy. That's going to do it for the news today. We're going to come back here after the break and talk to Bill. He sent both Brian and I a little package, and we're going to learn what that is in the show, and we're going to do a little handiwork while we're on the air. So it's going to be fun. Can't wait for that.
Starting point is 00:46:35 That's coming up after this song break, Brian has prepared. Yeah, we're going to Austin for this one. Austin's such a great place for music that I'm surprised it doesn't come up more in our Indian the Middles. But this is a band called G-A-R-C-K-G-R-A-C-K-L-E-S. Just kind of like there's a bird, right? Sure, Grechle. Do you consider them to be a bird, Scott?
Starting point is 00:46:59 You know, anything that flies, I usually go, bird. But ones that are always on the ground and stuff, I don't look at an ostrich and go, bird. I never do that. No. Well, because I know that it's a mammal. I know it's not the same, but I think of my dog Rainer when I see bats
Starting point is 00:47:15 because she looks just like a bat without wings. Oh, poor thing. All right, this is a brand new single. Here's what I'm loving about this. So their brand new album, their self-titled debut album comes out February 24th for this band, Grackles. They're joined here by one of my favorite vocalists,
Starting point is 00:47:32 a woman named Kat Edmondson. She has an album, a few albums of covers, and she has got such an incredible voice. It's so unique. I love Kat Edmondson in her voice. Here is their song, Top of the World. It's the band Greckles. They know I'm going to take it slow
Starting point is 00:48:16 I feel the afterglow You know the voices in the clouds They say the quiet part our loud cold winter friezes turn to hot summer breezes that's all right I'm on top of the world as it tumbles down hopeless hope at the end of my world at the end of my world Learning how to call Say to the girl at the checkout line
Starting point is 00:49:09 I don't think we had that much time Hot summer breezes to cold winter freezes, that's all right I'm on top of the world as it tumbles down Cold winter freezes turned to Summer breezes that's all right I'm on top of the world as it tumbles down. Hearts and breezes turn to cold when it freezes.
Starting point is 00:50:15 That's all right. I'm on top of the world as it tumbles down. Down, down. Down, down, down, down. Down, down, down, down, down, down. With ordinary contact lenses or glasses, you wake to a fuzzy world. And we've returned. Who is that again?
Starting point is 00:51:07 Sure. That's the band Grackles, featuring Kat Edmondson, joining him for that song. A song called Top of the World. Their self-titled debut album comes out February 24th. And if you keep in track, that means that the album is called Grackles. Greckles. Such a morning cereal thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:26 It's like, give me a bowl of grackles. part of this nutritious breakfast. That's right. All right. Punish Props on his way in here. Cool. Cool, cool. We'll see what we're finally doing.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Been doing this thing while we're waiting for Bill, although it looks like we're not going to have to wait long. But, yeah, I'll talk about it in the post or the end of show stuff. Excellent. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? There sure is. Well, not really. Having Bill on, there's never anything wrong.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Bill, welcome back to the show from Punish Props.com. How are you? Hello, good morning. I'm doing great. Yeah, it's a big day. I've been thinking about you a little because I've been playing some of that grounded and running around in there
Starting point is 00:52:06 picking up cool stuff going, oh, this would be cool 3D printed. This would be cool made out of foam. And then I think of all that stuff you made and I know you got some recent content included in that, but man, that game is cool. It's so cool. We just played through it again.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Yeah, it's awesome. Do you feel like, so now there's like a creative mode where people can build their own maps and stuff? I wonder, I wonder what that's like. I got to get in there. Yeah, I haven't tried that yet. Yeah, because people, they gave it, basically gave everybody their dev tools to make their own
Starting point is 00:52:37 backyards and, you know, populate it however they want with as many spiders as they want or, you know, whatever they want to do. And some of them are gnarly, like, plop you down in the, I've been told, I haven't seen it, but they'll plop you down in the middle of a yard, surrounded by like hundreds of spiders that are double, you know, twice the size of your character. and I think that sounds like a nightmare and I will not be downloading that is what I'm getting to say.
Starting point is 00:53:01 That sounds real bad. I'm not even that freaked about spiders but that gives me the willies. Holy crap. Yeah, that would. So Bill, explain this to us. We have in our hand some stuff, some 3D printed items that you sent both Brian and I in the mail
Starting point is 00:53:14 and I got a red one, he got a blue one. Sure. Walk us through this. What are we doing? A couple things. First, if you had to guess, how many of these maker segments do you think I've done? Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Oh. because you've been on you know, we start out of his fitness geek with you. I know, yeah, but the maker segments, we had a big number today. Oh, did we really? You know the number? 500? No, but we did hit 300. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Yeah. That's more that's more maker segments than the average podcast goes. That's right. I did a podcast. I had a podcast for a while. I did I think 200 episodes and I've done far more Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Yeah. Well, good. Yeah. Well, congratulations on that high watermark of an unpaid showing up on Tuesday's kind of gig. That's right. And I appreciate being here and I appreciate getting the chat with you guys. It's been awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:06 And then, all right. Second thing you mentioned grounded. Brittany finished the Pebbleit Axe. We have a new video up on Punish Props YouTube channel. She made one of the beginner axes from the game. She did it all out of foam and it was all hand-painted. And it looked awesome. Yeah, it does.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I've got to show this to people while you're talking, so keep going, but I'm going to pull this up over going. I've already talked to one of the community managers at Obsidian, and we're going to send it to them. They're going to have it in their office, which would be pretty cool. Yeah, look at this here. Okay, chat. Oh, it's not up on your site site yet, is it? Ah, yeah, it's up on the YouTube channel. No worries.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I will find that real quick. Yeah, it looks amazing. And if you haven't played that game, the whole concept is kind of honey, I shrunk the kids in real life. and uh well not in real life it's a fantasy obviously but it's like takes this idea to the to the hundredth degree um and let you you know cut down grass blades and builds tools out of sprouts and little pebbles and and build worlds and it's an amazing i mean the game's ability to to render out that feeling of scale is crazy good um maybe maybe beyond most things i've seen anyway this video has to do with that and that making of that pebble axe, which is like the first thing you got to make
Starting point is 00:55:27 in that game. Oh, yeah, yeah. That looks so good. I got to hang that up. All right. So that's what I'm going on for Punished Prop. So we have a new venture, Brittany and I started. And that's what the 3D printed objects you've got in your hands are.
Starting point is 00:55:43 So our new venture is called Gizmo Thrill. And it's all about 3D printing. I've been talking a lot about 3D printing lately. And this is part of the reason why. We started putting this together almost a year ago, the idea for this. But basically, Brittany and I both went to school for computer art and did a lot of 3D modeling. And this was back in 2000. We've carried those skills with us.
Starting point is 00:56:07 And now we've used a lot of 3D modeling for our prop making. But we want to do just 3D modeling where we model really cool things for other people to print. Not just props. We're doing all sorts of fun model kits. Nice. Neat things to put together. Right now, everything's over on printables. If you look up Gizmo Thrill over on Printables,
Starting point is 00:56:29 you'll find our site. Are you liking that platform? I think Printables, it's becoming one of my favorite places to look, actually, for stuff. Yeah, I am enjoying it a lot. They have a whole, like, level up system where when you engage with the website, if you share things that you've modeled, if you share things that you've printed or other people's things that you printed, you get points you earn prusa meters you can get free spools of filament they've really gamified like
Starting point is 00:56:56 the way you interact with one another and in a way that I think really encourages a lot of creativity and I like that a lot so I've been really enjoying uh printables a ton nice you guys are doing I can join your I can follow your thing right your club cool yeah we have so um there's a store so you can buy models individually but the thing we're really going on going for right now is club so it's a monthly membership we'll have new models every month we have um three of our new models up in the club right now and but we also have a free one so if you see scooter the tugboat that's our free model i see that right there yeah it's like benchy deluxe it's like a big benchy deluxe is yeah and that's just so that people can download something for free and kind of get an idea of what they're getting themselves into uh so our models we want these these kits that you have to put together I want to recreate the feeling of waking up on Christmas in the morning knowing you've got a box of Lego waiting for you under the tree and you can't wait to put it together.
Starting point is 00:58:00 So the idea is these model kits come in many pieces so you can print them in all these different colors, whatever colors you want, and then you get to put them all together. Oh, that's so cool. I love the arc reactor. Oh, man. I love your only negative review, which is model looks good, except it doesn't float. I'm like, dude, it's not supposed to be a boat. Does it? Oh, this guy claimed it was not float.
Starting point is 00:58:22 It's like PLA. There's no way it can't float. I think this guy doesn't know what, maybe he did it wrong. Who knows? Maybe doesn't know what float means. Yeah. Does this, oh my God, this arc reactor lights up. Yeah, dude, you might want that.
Starting point is 00:58:37 You might want that business. I do want that business. So what you're showing right there, Scott, is people get to share their make. So if they make something, they put it all, they get to share it on the website. Right. The boat, by the way, it does float. You have to put weight in it. There's a spot to put weight in it to prevent it from flipping over.
Starting point is 00:58:55 And I imagine that's what that guy forgot to do. Yeah, it makes sense, right? It needs a little ballast. You need your, what do you call that, your center of gravity in there. Right. Now, what's cool for all of these projects, so we're going to put a new project out every month, but they'll also come with a video that shows how to assemble the whole thing. So we have a YouTube channel, the Gizmo Thrill YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:59:16 We've got a Twitter, we've got a Instagram, we got all the things. for Gizmo Thrill. People want to follow us on there to see when we have new stuff coming out. But we're also going to be sharing, like, I put together a Land Rover Defender model I found on printables, and I'm going to make a video for that. So we're going to share other, like, building other people's kits as well. Sure. Because like I said, that's the fun, but the putting together, the assembly, like, that's the fun part.
Starting point is 00:59:41 I really want to share that. So let me ask you this. Are you shipping any of these direct printed or like you to dust? No. It's always somebody who wants to take the model, print it themselves, and do the thing. They download the files and print it. Yep, yep, yeah. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:59:54 You guys got special treatment because you're cool guys. Yeah. So the thing I've said, you guys, is something I call my enchanted padlock. So it's a novelty padlock, but it does function. It's got three levers in it, and it goes together pretty quickly. So there's the mechanism part is just the shackle, which is the part that, swings open on the top of your lock there. And then there's three levers that go in there.
Starting point is 01:00:23 You put in the, they're labeled one, two, and three. The first one goes in, then the second, then the third. And they create the little mechanism. They're even spring loaded using part of the 3D printed model as a spring. Whoa. So that the whole thing functions as an actual lock. And when do you, oh, and you mentioned this to me yesterday, but the website's got a load of instructions on this one, right?
Starting point is 01:00:46 So if I want to get it. Yeah, we've got videos. to show, in fact, I'll share the video for that one for my recommendation today for the enchanted padlock. Look at that, you guys. It's a Horde, by the way, Horde-themed padlock, this one.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Yeah. See, Scott knew? Yeah, he knew the colors that I picked. Did you know before I told him this morning? Did you know? We'll never know. We'll never truly know, will we? I tried to, I tried to make them Horde
Starting point is 01:01:09 and Alliance colored. You'd be Horton Thanos colored. I know, I know. Yeah, yeah. I'm getting wings today at Horton's. And Thornton Thanos. I love it over there. Port Thanos. Yes.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Cort Thanos and beyond. This is awesome. So the key, does it actually fit in this little lock and everything? Well, it would be a pretty poor lock if it didn't. Oh, it does. Look at that. Man, this is cool, dude. I love this.
Starting point is 01:01:38 So, all right. So that, I was, you know, obviously there's a market for this stuff, right? I went to your site here, the printables.com. thing deal stuff and notice that you've got amazing reviews on your lightsaber build oh yeah look at that that appears to be your big popular item on the
Starting point is 01:01:59 thing do you uh did that surprise that one got featured on their front page I think for a while oh that explains it well but those are so we took a bunch of our old prop ones that are free and put them all up on the on our profile there so there's a ton of free models, if you guys, if anyone has a printer
Starting point is 01:02:18 and they want to go grab some free stuff, go for it. Yeah. But the lightsaber is obviously quite popular. Yeah, sure. Well, people like a, they like a lightsaber. I've learned over time over the most of my life. They don't like me calling it Ray's
Starting point is 01:02:32 lightsaber. I'll tell you that much. Oh, really? Wow. I mean, so I made it, the, it's Luke slash Anakin's lightsaber, but I made all of the versions that it is throughout the series. So it can be the A New Hope version.
Starting point is 01:02:46 or the Empire Strikes Back version or the whatever the movie Ray was in was called version whatever the three those three films The last one Yeah the last one of Skywalker Can I just tell you by the way
Starting point is 01:03:02 This is neither here nor there But the fact that you like this Bob Smith Industries Cyanacrylate glue is the best It is the best glue It's so good All of the world's glue Bows to that glue
Starting point is 01:03:14 It does and you get the kicker to spray it and it cures instantly. Oh, I didn't know about that. Yeah, that's the real magic sauce. Wow, okay. This is great. A little spray bottle of accelerant.
Starting point is 01:03:29 Well, I'm going to put this whole thing together. Yeah, so that one's meant to get put together. You can follow the video and then there's little pegs to hold it together. You just drop a little super glue in there and they'll all squeeze together. I'm trying to learn how to design kit so that they don't need glue. So this has been a really fun design. challenge for me. We also try and make these so they print without
Starting point is 01:03:49 supports if we can. That's amazing. I mean, just the fact that these little, these little not really, can't really call them screws, but the fact that you, there's so many things you get right now, so many downloads, it's like, all right, well, make sure you go get these specific 7mm screws. And it's like,
Starting point is 01:04:05 great, now you've got to buy a thousand of these from Amazon just because I need four for this model. Yeah, I love the idea that this is a complete package and that's just everything. You'll print it all. That's one of our sort of design requirements. We want to design kits that don't need a lot of supports and kits
Starting point is 01:04:21 that can go together without hardware. So when you print it, you've got pretty much everything you need. You just might need a couple drops of glue. This is rad. Yeah, the only thing you show here that looks like it's not organic to the print is the little leather key strap cora. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:38 It adds a nice little vibe to it. Yeah, it does. Yeah, I'm just going to build this right after the show and glue it as I do it because I don't want to have to take it apart and glue it. Yeah, good idea. There are two pegs that are shorter. Just pay attention to that.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Oh, okay. They're going to a specific spot. You'll see. Again, there's a video that shows it all. So I designed that in the boat. Brittany designed a little desktop dragon that sits next to your computer. He can hold stuff in his mouth. She also designed a really cool functioning treasure chest that's highly decorative
Starting point is 01:05:09 and has a little lock on the front of it, which is pretty cool. Oh, you should make one. You should make one that pops open and is a mimic, like a pissed off. That would be pretty awesome. We can do a version or something could remix it. Yeah. There you go. Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:05:23 And you guys allow for that, right? Like, take these SDLs, dink around with them. Give us attribution, but, you know. There's all, on the printables page, it shows all of that, the licensing and all that, what you're allowed to do with it. So one of the reasons why I like websites like that, you don't have, when you upload the model, you choose the licensing you want. and what people will be allowed to do with it.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Yeah, I like that a lot. Oh, there it is. Yeah, so you've got no sharing without attribution. Makes sense. Remix culture allowed, commercial use, free cultural works, and meat's open definition. That's cool. There you go. This site's rad.
Starting point is 01:05:59 It's really cool. Yeah, makes me wish I had shit to put on there, but I don't. Lots of stuff to go get and download, though. Yeah, yeah. And print yourself. Apparently, the first thing you need to go get in by is the Bob Smith Instacet Superglue accelerator because I had no idea this was a thing. I just thought I had to sit there and hold
Starting point is 01:06:17 it for five minutes, but well, it's best. Oh, they've got they've got replacement dart Nerf guns some guy made that's like way more powerful. I got to get that. Oh, and your satisfactory helmet's on here. It is on there, yeah. I think that
Starting point is 01:06:32 was featured recently. Yeah, you're also featured, yeah, you're featured right now on that one. That looks really good. In fact, you're kind of making all the other squares around you look like crap. and by squares just means the the tiles on the site not the people who design them no no not the squares yeah it's not yeah it's hip to be square you guys are fine don't worry about it uh designed by squares four squares that's really cool man um i i don't i knew you were up to something but i didn't know it was this cool
Starting point is 01:07:00 this is very cool this is such a great it's such a perfect thing for you and and uh god i had no idea about this thing i knew printables but i didn't know about this like becoming a member a follower, so cool. They just added the store as well so you can sell stuff individually. We're going to have all our models in our membership eventually end up in the store so people can just buy the Mala card if they want. It's pretty
Starting point is 01:07:21 neat that they let you do that. Yeah, that is very cool. So for those at home who are like, where is this again? Prentibles.com slash at Gizmo Thrill to have an ad in there. That's the one. Kind of like YouTube. And it'll be more every month, like I said. And we'll start pushing more once we have more models
Starting point is 01:07:37 up there as well. I'm modeling a little model, a little toy model of a forklift right now because I have a forkletes. Will it, and it'll function like the lift all rays and stuff? Yes. Yes, it will. Yeah, figuring out the inner workings,
Starting point is 01:07:51 dude, I'd want to make sure that this doesn't go by unrecognized, unacknowledged, but the fact that you figured out the whole mechanism inside the lock to make all that stuff work, that is no small feat. Yeah, yeah. That took a bit of trial and error. Reemphasized. What do you, Thomas, Thomas,
Starting point is 01:08:09 Thomas Edison or something, my lord, look at all this work you're doing. It's amazing. Well, this is awesome. Thank you for our little kits. I can't wait to put this together and display it proudly as a horde item that I clearly obviously knew before I talked to Brian. Tell us anything else going on. Do you have a little bonus clip for us or anything from anyone? I just sent the link to that padlock video there.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Oh, okay. We'll use that. Yeah, that's our little bonus. That'll go in the website, and then people have a link to where they can buy this stuff as well. Right. Super simple. Oh, look at that thing. That thing's so cool. Look forward to more. Here's the 300 more episodes, huh? Yeah, dude, 300 more segments with you. That means 300 more cool things you got to make. Don't think about it too hard, though. I got a list. Don't worry.
Starting point is 01:08:57 And we can't wait to see you in Vegas. In Vegas, I'll be there. Britt will be there. We're going to try and drag some more friends if we can. That'd be great. Happy to welcome anyone. We'll see you then. All right. Well, we'll see you before then, but... Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll talk to you before then, I guess, is what I'm trying to say. All right. There you go. There goes Bill.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Watch him as he goes. We have a quick text to finish things, and this is fascinating to me, because yesterday we were talking about these Stanley Cups that are all the rage. Yes, oh, God. And I made the comment, like, this is like Crocs or something where everyone's just over, you know, they're overdoing it or it's over exposure or whatever. I didn't know this, but Luke from Boulder has dropped a bomb. He says, funny you mentioned Crox Shoes when discussing the new Stanley Cup, not the hockey trophy craze. The marketing guy who made Crocs a success with their multiple color options and pieces of flair and such, he moved from that job over to making or a marketing gig with, ding, ding, ding, Stanley Cups. Amazing. I had no idea. And that makes so much sense.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Yeah, now it does for sure. He says Stanley Cups, or he says, and essentially copy and paste at the same craze. personally I have no crox or Stanley Cups so this guy's mojo does not work on me yeah that's I mean now that it's obvious now it makes so much sense right just like the fact that this guy knows
Starting point is 01:10:21 exactly how to turn something that's kind of mundane and unnecessary and say no I must have it I must push people out of the way so that I can get one yeah it's crazy I love this though thank you Luke from Boulder not far from Brian is how we'd like to refer to you.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Not far at all. Just right up the road. That was awesome of you. If you got your own feedback, thoughts, comments, whatever. Today we did a lot of text. You can send those in that form. 80147.1.471.462. If you want to email, if you can,
Starting point is 01:10:49 the morning stream at gmail.com. And that text line also works as a voicemail line. So continue to do that. That's right. I think I've won for tomorrow already. Oh, good. Cool, cool. I think we're about done. Go to frogpans.com.

Brian, we should play a song, speaking of cool things. We should. This one came in. It was originally for last week, but I pushed it to this week because, again, the last part of January, folks, apparently a lot of you have birthdays, a lot of you have things you're celebrating. So it's a feast, a movable feast of a request for me to pull from.
Starting point is 01:11:28 Terry Zee in Chicago frequent emailer to Scott and I, frequent supporter of the show. a reply tweet uh tweets x whatever sure comments on there uh says hey this january 25th was my 77th birthday geez terry z i had no idea i didn't either he comes off his way younger than that he really does yeah uh he says i think even uh rainbow bright and claire gack share the date with me uh i usually get lost in this shuffle so i don't expect you to honor my request on that exact day even if you can but that's okay it's the thought that counts love terry z in chicago yeah well as you know but i also pushed it to this day for a specific reason because uh the song choice you said anything from moody blues album days of future past uh you said you got any covers
