Laundermatt, Grandma.
The morning stream, the good guys will come and get you.
Okay.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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...
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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

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

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.
Ma.
M.
M.
The sudden we're barbarian.
Never forget that lady.
All right.
Let's get to this news.
Walmart.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.

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.
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
