And more on this episode of The Morning Stream.
God, have you even looked around?
This place is a labyrinth of bad choices.
We're fresh out of private.
Good morning everybody. Welcome to the morning stream. It is Tuesday, February 27th, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Nibbitt. Hi, Brian. Hello. Hello. Hello. Look, it's a very, we got how many days? Go to Viva TMS, Vegas, everyone. Let's take a look at the days. We have 61 days, seven hours, 45 minutes, and 34 seconds of this reading before the events of Las Vegas kick in. I know.
Oh, my gosh, I cannot stop sneezing.
You got something in the air?
You got a little, what's going on?
I think something in the air.
I don't know what it is.
Like, I had a, it's like a little tickle inside my nose.
And I tried blowing my nose like crazy yesterday trying to get it out.
But it's some tickle.
There's just some tickle in there.
It's just lodged in there, whatever it is.
Yeah.
We got a dog who's, his eyes all goop, her eyes all goopy.
And we think it's because she sheds so much that her own hair has gotten in her eye and irritated her eye.
Oh, gosh.
Wow.
Yeah.
One of the three dogs that we have here at the Johnson Kennel.
I'm pretty sure that's not my problem.
No.
Pretty sure.
No.
I don't think any of your hair has entered your eye, I don't think.
That's true.
Or my nose for the night.
It's probably a cat.
I think it's, because I do the thing where, you know, I got a big fluffy cat and she's sweet.
And I, like, bury my face in her fur and go, blah, blah, blah, like that.
Because you got it.
You got to do that.
She's a big fluffy cat.
You heard it here first.
Brian motorboats his cat.
I motorboats the cat.
Yep.
I think that's it.
That is a thing, right?
I'm not making that up.
That's real.
No, no, that is a thing.
Well, I mean, in this context, it's not the thing.
But that is, that is the noise is usually associated with the, the boob-related motorboat.
Got it.
Okay.
Making sure I got my terms right.
Because I'm never quite, I'm never quite sure.
The only boob involved here is the one doing the motorboating in this case.
That's right.
I'm sure that's like a cat hair up my nose or something.
Yeah, it could be, you never know.
And I'm my thing, my feeling is it'll probably just go away.
Or maybe you got a little winter allergies.
I don't know.
We got two inches of snow out of nowhere last night, like 2 a.m.
Just boof.
Yeah, it is coming down right now.
We're getting it.
I'm watching the sidewalk slowly disappear into a world of white.
Ours came in and literally it felt like it just went.
Blah!
And like threw it all out at once, just blah!
And covered everything and then left.
It wasn't a long storm.
Wasn't a drawn-out experience.
It was just like a barfing.
Just enough.
Yeah, just enough.
And it annoyed me.
Uh, anyway.
Snow barfing.
That's right.
The reason I bring up that whole thing with the, the VivaTMSVegas.coms,
because there's still some tickets.
Please get in there.
Get those tickets.
I found out today, Pacholic.
Picholik is coming.
Mike Picholik is coming.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
Oh, I got to thank that guy in person for his continued generosity.
I mean.
Nicest guy ever.
It really is.
Yeah.
Always very kind.
I also saw Gary from Lantronic, formerly of Lantronics, formerly of Lantronics, formerly of Lott
B.
formerly of, what was the other thing he did?
Of Batu.
Oh, Batu.
Black Square Post, yeah.
The former scoundrel who would teach you a game of, what's the card game?
Shoot.
It's, uh, bat, uh, Domjot.
Nope, that's Star Trek.
Um, Sarlack.
No, that's the pit.
You play Domjot.
I don't remember.
Sabak?
Yes, Sabak.
All right. Thanks, LaSarge.
It's funny.
It's like, it's like Sarlac, but it's not.
No, it's not quite full Sarlat.
It hasn't gone full for life.
You also is coming.
I mentioned it before, but Uncle George and Aunt Bar.
Yeah, we get to finally meet again, I guess, because I did meet them.
I just didn't really.
Their significance was not yet known to me then.
Right, right, right, right.
Now that you, exactly, when you finally meet them now, it'll be like, oh, you're Aunt Barb.
That's right.
Nice to finally meet you, Aunt Barb.
That's right.
It'll be great.
Can't wait to see her.
You guys all need when you see her.
You go, oh, you're Aunt Barb.
Oh, so you're Aunt Barb, yeah.
Just talk like you're straight out of Minnesota when you see her.
Exactly. Got a little Arby's ironed you.
Yeah. I realized something last night.
It's a long story why this is even happening.
But, you know, I kind of went on a little bit of a tear with the old medical shows.
I watched St. Elsewhere.
Yeah, you're saying elsewhere.
A couple of seasons of that.
And anyway, I ended up going down this road of like, what do I miss?
And I realized, I kind of missed, I miss ER.
I miss that show.
And the reason I think I miss it, like St. Elsewhere, they didn't hire nothing but pretty people.
There are some pretty people.
Oh, yeah.
it was exactly but it was a lot of uglies too there were some normals i shouldn't say
uglies there were normals on it and i like that when a show will cast normals all these new shows
you kids today with your your chicago hope or not hope uh chicago med or whatever yes your gray's
anatomy i mean you want to talk about a parade of pretty people it is gray's anatomy yeah i can't
deal with that i hate that actually it drives me crazy it works behind the uh the counter for er uh sure
Noah Wiley's handsome, and Sherry Stringfield is pretty, and, and, uh...
She's kind of pretty in a normal way, though, right?
She's, she's real next door pretty, right.
She's, she is believable as, as, you know, someone in that role, is opposed to, yeah, everybody looking like, uh, Iggy, whatever her name is on, uh, uh, Grey's Anatomy, uh, knocked up, uh, just, uh, 27 dresses, um, yes, yeah, her, anyway, that, that, that girl, can't I give her name, why can't
think of her name. We get to see a fake birth of her area unit in that
that knocked up movie. Do you remember that? That was shocking.
Catherine Hegel, that's it.
Hegel, yeah, Catherine Hegel. Anyway, it was like a prosthetic, like fake vagina in that
movie. Anyway. Yeah. So I like that about it. It just gives it a little more of a raw
kind of thing. And also, back then, this is the time in the 90s, mid-90s. We're talking
95 that show started. When you started to see.
see all these actors come through that you would see
in everything from then on.
I watched an old lady die in a very
sad episode. There was also Seinfeld's
grandmother. I saw another
dude. Oh, who was it?
Oh, the guy from
alias, the bad guy.
Oh, yeah. The older guy.
Right. Little shrimpy dude with the
frowny face.
He's a big deal
in the second season, this guy.
You and I really, one of these years
we have to figure out a way to
go work the red carpet at like one of the major award shows we'll be standing there with whoever
it is from e and from bravo or no bravo extra or whatever i remember you from that thing you were in
oh my god you're the you're the little shrippy frowny dude yes right you were on alias i think right
and was it victor kiroacus no that's that guy from a daytime soap opera wait a minute what was
your name like that would be we would do a killer job at the e red carpet yeah let's do it
And it wouldn't even be a shtick.
It would just be us like, oh, you, we know you.
Yeah, we would totally do that.
Anyway, so it's like this just, you know, whole thing.
And yes, yes, George Clooney is a handsome actor.
Okay?
Sure.
He's still on the show at this stage.
Yeah.
And but he's not handsome in the traditional way.
The show doesn't parade him around like he's just Mr. Good Looking.
He's super flawed.
He's got all kinds of problems.
He's basically a, you know,
an alcoholic ready to pop.
He's basically Tony Stark.
Kind of all the money.
Yeah.
He's Tony Stark with an okay car and a decent apartment.
I mean,
that's basically it.
The confidence level,
the charisma,
the,
uh,
yeah,
all that stuff.
And anyway,
I just forgotten how much I like it.
And I just think the design of the show,
like the core of it is really sound.
And it's a lot of fun to go back to.
Plus this.
There's that cool sound it makes.
Crichton.
Crichton deal with the very,
like the pilot was,
uh,
Crichton.
All Crichton.
The whole thing.
The whole thing was, I thought he just like basically said, yeah, here, I'm setting this up, you guys take it from here kind of thing.
He created the, well, he's credited for the rest of the series as a showrunner, but yeah, I wonder what his involvement really was.
Yeah, I don't know if he's just inspiration or what, but anyway, it's really good, and I was watching some of it, and I realized something about it and this kind of show in general.
In the 90s, when I would watch a show like this, it would stress me out because every two seconds, it's like, we'll have a personal,
moment where Noah Wiley's talking to somebody
about, you know, oh yeah, my mom,
she's coming in town, something, something.
And then somebody would kick the door open,
Malik, or a character like that, would kick
the door open and go, we got 15
kids coming in with their heads off, four
minutes, they're in coming. You know, and it's the middle of a snow
storm, and it's like,
da- dun, dun, do-da-da-da-da. And everybody freaks out,
and they all got a scramble, and they're all
talking words like, get me a 50-c-c-c-flamage
with a zip-zap, zoopy-ed up, you know, like all the
medical talk and everything.
Uh-huh. And I realized that what I like,
what I didn't like then
used to stress me out
in the 90s. I would just get
oh get anxious and it's like oh my gosh this is scary
and all that now
I find that stuff weirdly
calming
I mean it's not that far stretch
from choppers
we got choppers incoming choppers
it really is like
yeah you know
it is that guy right it's basically that same shit different war
yeah yeah except
I mean it's like that level of stress like oh hey everything
going, I'll pump past me a little bit more of that moonshine.
Oh, you're going to go to Tokyo for a little R&R this weekend?
Yeah, I think I am.
Oh, choppers, choppers.
Oh, I missed my Tokyo trip.
Yeah, and a whole, an entire front line of horrible murders happen.
And now they're all, now we have to get serious in the operating room.
Like, there's, right?
It definitely has that.
And for whatever reason, I kind of, maybe I'm just nostalgic for it, because that was
must-see TV Thursdays, right?
It was, yeah.
I guess the tail end of that or close to it.
It was the closer, right?
because, I mean, you had your 7 o'clock starter, which was sometimes, what, like a suddenly
Susan or a Boston Common or a Caroline in the city.
And then your 7.30, your lead-in to Seinfeld, that pressure.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. It's a Frazier.
Frazier was your start.
In 95, Cheers is done, right?
Yeah, Chis was still, I think Chers was done.
There was some overlap, I'm sure, between Cheers and.
ER. Okay. So there might have been, so we may have gone cheers.
We may have gone cheers, then Seinfeld, then. I think you had your, I think you had
your Frazier at the top. Yeah. And then you had your, we're really trying to push this new NBC
sitcom with, with, uh, this Southern lady, uh, a comedian. You're talking about, um, not, not design
not designing women um not designing women it was the oh we just saw her on on on walking dead or
something grace on fire grace on fire grace on fire it's not grace on fire on fire is it grace under fire
what was that woman's name because we just saw her on like walking dead or something but
so you had that your 730 was your was your your sitcom that NBC is really trying to push because it's
the lead into eight o'clock Seinfeld right and then it's there's that
that like, oh, we've got this treasured hammock of entertainment between these two great tenpools of Seinfeld and ER.
What are we going to stick in it?
I know, the single guy or bust in common or...
You're totally right.
That's exactly what it was.
And that was must-cTV.
And then you ended with ER because that was before the news.
Brett Butler.
Thank you.
Brett Butler.
Yeah, she had a dude's name or what I considered a dude's name back then.
You had a dude's job.
And then...
and then friends right so friends
friends took over the like fraser move to tuesdays and then friends slipped in there
and it was again your your top of the hour tent poles and your little NBC hammocks of
what are we trying to fit in there now yeah between that that was your standard Thursday night
and i think this reminds me of that and i used to tune into that every week and i used to think
it was great and at that time let's see 95 i had a had a baby had a little tiny tailor and i was holding
her and feeding her probably while this was going on.
So I have a lot of nostalgia for it.
So it's just playing in the background while I get work done.
Like yesterday, I just kind of had it on.
And it's very good.
I think that show's worth returning to.
I think it, like most shows, they find their feet right around season two.
And it sort of kicks off.
I only have one problem.
There was an episode where Jerry brought a copy of Doom to the desk
there to the clerk's desk.
Jerry was his name.
Yes, right.
Yeah.
I always forget his name too.
The guy from the dude that he was,
he's from all sorts of stuff.
But anyway.
A little friend linebacker looking dude.
Yeah, big guy.
He was from Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
I always remember from that.
But anyway.
Okay.
I believe you.
Did you ever watch Parker Lewis Can't Lose?
You never saw that?
So I liked it the first time when it was called Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
It's a fair point.
It's a fair point.
I mean, you know, they even tried to.
Yes.
I did, I did try watching Parker Lewis Can't Loo.
and is like, yeah, I see what they're going for here.
Yeah.
But here's my memory.
I remember him, I remember his character name.
This is so stupid because I can't remember anything else today,
but I remember his name was Kubiak.
It was his last name.
Oh, really?
Oh, funny.
Wow.
Yeah, why I remember that?
That's stupid.
Anyway, Jerry's there.
The DJs is, yeah, he played Kub.
Yeah, it's a very memorable character.
Kubiak was a great character.
I liked him a lot.
Yeah.
And that guy's done all kinds of cool stuff, including in recently,
he was in a World of Warcraft expansion as like
a big bad guy. He does all kinds
of voice work now. Yeah. Anyway,
but I'm watching that. He brings Doom to the
not the office, to the, to the ER.
And they're playing Doom.
We're talking classic, you know, PC
pixelated Doom.
And they start talking about it like
they know what they're doing,
but they say things that just aren't true.
So they're playing it and they're going, oh, you're going to
die unless you go get the bulletproof vest.
And I went, Doom didn't have a bulletproof vest.
Not a thing. Not a thing.
There's an armor thing, but that's not what you said.
And then somebody goes, you should use the BFG 2000.
And I went, it's not 2000.
You've got that wrong.
So whenever a show does shit like that, it takes me out so bad.
And I'm sure there's a million medical things.
Like if Jerry Tolbert was watching the show, he'd be like, where eyes would roll so hard, they'd come back around the other way.
Right, right.
But I was so annoyed at that.
episode. So I had to skip that one. That was their episode that was like, because everyone was
kind of hooked on it. It was distracting the stuff. It was basically their equivalent of the
Star Trek in the next generation. Cones and Loops. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody gets hooked on.
Yeah. Or one of the, uh, what was the deal? Who was in that that was famously in that?
It was, uh, Ashley Judd. That's right. That's right. Yeah. One of the Judds was in there doing her
Judd's.
Doing jedd business.
Doing jedd things.
Just jetting.
Just jutting around.
Yeah, by the way, we talked about Parker Lewis and, of course, the horrible, horrible Ferris Bueller's Day Off TV show.
That was real bad.
Yeah.
In, you know, but in the movie, you had Jennifer Gray playing Ferris's sister.
Mm-hmm.
She got the car.
He got a keyboard.
Or he got a computer.
In the TV show, do you remember who played his sister?
No.
I remember.
I only remember is Chloris Leachman was in it briefly.
That's all I remember.
Okay.
Jennifer Aniston was his sister.
Oh, really?
And that, yep.
And the two of them would later play sisters or rivals or whatever it was on friends.
She was the guy that she left on the altar, that Rachel left at the altar, who he ended up marrying was the Jennifer Gray character.
Oh, I think, right?
The Doug or whatever.
not done yeah whatever his name was whatever was the doctor guy though he was like a doctor the doctor yes right i remember
that good thing claire's not here she'd be losing her mind about friends she would yeah exactly more friends trivia can we have more please
here in ireland it's our favorite show um you know berry that is it barry might be barry yes dr barry
barry yeah that makes sense to me um well anyway er is great i recommend it's on hulu and uh
But it really kicks in season two.
I think it's an excellent drama.
Like, it's just actually really good and holds up.
There are some things about it that maybe you're a little dated, but for the most part.
Yeah.
It's believable.
And Julianna Margulies was supposed to die in the pilot, and she became one of the most popular characters on that thing.
She became huge, yeah, and she's very good in it.
And she also is one of those people who I don't look at and go, oh, perfect, what a haughty.
I look at her and go, what a very beautiful, distinct-looking person.
Like, that's why I think this show is better than most.
of these.
I think she's a haughty.
I mean, she's good looking, but she's not like drop dead, like, model.
Oh, yeah.
To me, no, forget that.
Like, Sopranos is like, oh, is this a Julianne Margoley's episode?
All right, excellent.
Yeah, but you know what I mean?
She's not the, she's not these kinds on the Chicago med thing.
Like, she's not the supermodel, um, over, over made up kind of beauty.
Right.
Right.
Even Noah Wiley's kind of a dork.
like he's good looking but he's a dork
and it helps the character
to be less more of a dork
and less of a perfect human being
I don't know I'm into it
okay enough ER for now
let's talk about
Crawley Mc Creepers wrote in
I don't think this is a real birth name
is Christian name no it's not not Crawley Mc Creepers
I don't think so but maybe
you know whatever mileage may vary he says
Dear Spider and Cobweb
beneath the veil of twilight
I, a humble creature of silk and shadow,
reach out to the guardians of the spoken lore,
seeking to bridge the worlds of human and spider
with threads of peace and comprehension.
Tis with a gentle heart
and a spirit of goodwill that I impart unto thee,
Carter, Sion of Wisdom and Curiosity,
and Scott, her guiding star,
a device of such ingenious craft
that belies the marvels of our age,
known amongst the dwellers of the overworld
as quote my critter catcher unquote this artifact possesses the remarkable ability to
ensnare my kin and I in tendrils of benevolence without harm or fear and unlike the
humble cup affords dignity for our species and there's a link to Amazon where you can buy
this it says I await a friend veiled in the night eager for a future where our paths
cross and respect and friendship entranced by the woven discourse nonetheless crawley
make creepers so we've talked on the show about how my daughter will constantly save spiders that's what
this is about yes yeah well and i think this was intended for the monday show this is why you can't
have two shows scott that are spelled tm s no this isn't for us look dear spider and cobweb entranced by
the woven discourse that's that's that's that's that's uh i love the show though start with
start with that first line again dear spider and cobweb oh the sea yeah but but this is yeah but
Nobody says love the show, though, on that show.
Well, they should start.
Also, this came to TMS.
This came to my TMS email.
I should mention that.
Yeah, because they think it's the Monday show.
This is, here's the, somebody already sent us these spider catchers right here.
Oh, yeah.
That's it right there, isn't it?
It's right there, yeah.
Here, chat.
Look, look at it.
Sorry, do I need to.
Gaze upon it.
Oh, yeah, show that, Brian, look at it.
See, look at that thing.
It looks like, ready, it's fireworks.
Oh, wow.
Do it again.
Oh.
Oh, God bless America.
I did you quick.
Ooh, I'm supposed to say, ah.
So this thing is...
That's an S&C.
That's a Scott and Carter butt.
Yeah, but it came to the morning stream at gmail.com.
I don't have an email for the other show.
Oh, well, that's why.
Yeah.
Well, that might be why.
The point is, we brought it up here before, and the idea is, hey, if you guys want to be nice to spiders,
here's a relatively inexpensive way to do it.
2295, and it can be yours.
All right.
That's cool.
It's a very cool device.
I've used it many a time.
It helps me pick up the spider so I can put it on a hard surface and stump on it.
Very, very handy.
You can take it out to your front porch.
I can pull it out of the carpet and then put it on the hardwood floor.
Perfect.
I'm kidding.
I hope Carter's not listening to that.
No.
She's off to getting a tattoo this morning, I believe.
Oh, you're here right now.
When are you going?
When's your tattoo?
Later.
Later.
Later.
She's in the other cubicle.
You couldn't see her from where you're out.
Yeah, I just can't.
I have a wall there.
It's like a, what is this thing?
Like a Japanese changing wall?
Whatever that is.
It folds.
You get it at IKEA.
It's like a semi-translucent.
Right, like one of those.
Right.
Yeah.
In old TV shows, you'd see stockings draped over them.
Yeah.
When you think of skyrocketing brands like aloe, all birds, or skimmed.

Yeah, it has a kind of a boudoir sort of vibe to it.
That's right.
In this case, it's just the...
Caducey asks, does it hurt the spider?
It does not hurt the spider.
No, it's very good.
That's the whole point.
It's these little soft fingers that are like stiffer than fishing line,
but that's sort of material, like a thin plastic.
Yeah, you're just picking it up with.
the soft touch is all and then and then and they assume well the spider they show in the amazon
listing is huge is it oh it's so big brian you got to see this look at this thing hold on okay
i'll send you a image oh are you talking about the one that's next to the next to it in the picture
um well no this one's like in its grasp oh gotcha here you go it's in our discord see that
oh geez well that's funny view that's clearly a plastic spider oh yeah it doesn't look real at all
Yeah, no, it's definitely, uh...
It's big, though.
Look how big.
I don't like how big it is.
That freaks me out a little bit.
Yeah, that is a little bit big.
Jeez.
I know it's like, yeah, somebody's going to say, all right, well, we got this spider.
Let's go ahead and get on the other side of this and take this picture.
Yeah.
I don't like it even when it's fake.
Yeah.
Well, thank you, Crawley Mc Creepers.
We also got another email from Michael, who wrote into the morning stream at gmail.com and said the following.
This one is definitely for us.
Hi, guys.
Definitely for us, yeah.
On TMS recently, Scott read a news story about a
woman returning a two-year-old couch to Costco, simply because she had grown tired of it.
That reminded me of an experience from a couple of years ago.
I live on the Gulf Coast.
I'm so sorry.
Actually, I like it down there.
I take it back.
You're always at risk, though, down there.
You know, hurricane season comes around.
You're just like, oh, man, freaking, I hope this isn't the year.
I loved Bradenton.
I live Sarasota.
I have a very good friend in Tampa.
I like, I like Ploxie.
I like Gulfport.
It's very nice.
Sure.
You got casinos now in both those places?
Yeah, not very good.
No, they're not like Vegas casinos.
They're not like Vegas.
Vegas spoils me.
Yeah.
Vegas spoils us all.
Anyway, I live in the Gulf Coast.
We have to deal with the occasional hurricane coming through and knocking out power.
Several years ago, days after one such event, I was walking into a loz and noticed a sign on the door that read, quote, all generator sales are final, unquote.
Apparently, there were people buying generators in preparation for the approaching hurricane and then trying to return themselves.
several days later, after the hurricane had passed, and power had been restored.
So they were trying to, you know, get the benefit of the thing and then return the thing.
At first, I was irritated at the idea that people would try such a thing.
Lowe's is not in the generator rental business, but then I giggled inside at the hope that those who thought they had been so clever as to buy a generator for just a few days had, in fact, bought it forever.
Moo ha, ha, ha, he says.
Excellent.
Love the show, Michael.
Both of these reads today were very dramatic.
Very dramatic.
Like an ER episode.
For sure.
Don, do.
Don't do.
Don't do.
I love that.
There's something about it.
There is.
Yeah.
It's really good.
It's one of the best music.
It's one of the best drama themes.
I'll put it up there, like top five.
It's really good.
The whole thing.
And it's got that part in the middle where Eric LaSalle gets to the floor and does a fist pump.
Like a little, like a successful like a.
Celibratory fist bump.
Yep.
That guy's pissed all the time, by the way.
All the time.
He is.
Oh, Eric LaSalle.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
He's a mad.
He's mad and madder.
All right.
Well, that's it for that.
Oh, real quick.
So, sorry.
One more thing about ER.
I captured this yesterday to bring it on the show, and it's totally spaced it.
And I put it on social.
So, Brian, you may have already seen it, but.
I have not yet, no.
I put it on social.
What are my 500?
Put on social.
Okay.
So this animated.
Giff is Noah Wiley and Eric LaSalle exchanging a glance.
Okay.
This right here, if I could sum up the first two seasons of ER, this GIF is, this is it.
That's right.
Because he was, he was the intern under Eric LaSalle's charge, right?
Yeah.
And Eric, who plays Dr. Benton, is pissed at him constantly.
Yeah.
And Noah Wiley's always doing this double take and like he thinks he's being smart, but he's not.
Like, this is the essence of season one and two right there.
That's great.
Anyway, sorry everyone at home who can only listen and not see that gift I put up.
That's right.
Yeah, it's the two of them looking at each other and Noah's smiling until he sees that Eric LaSalle is looking at him and then he stops.
Yeah.
And Eric LaSalle, dude, that guy is pissed.
He's good.
It doesn't have his soul glow afro that he had in Coming to America.
I always forget that was him.
Oh, man.
What a difference.
What a change.
Yeah, what a different role.
It does not play the same character even close.
All right.
Hey, how about we inform the public as well as entertain them?
Sure.
With a little bit of this, right?
Why can't I find the news there?
Hold on.
Oh, sorry.
Go ahead.
Breaking news.
Jeannie Sara says, fun fact, putting house spiders outside doesn't save them.
They die anyway because they're not supposed to be outside.
I question that.
It's not like we're domesticating spiders in the house.
right they came they came from there inside right exactly they started the spiders in the house are
outside spiders that came into out to the inside spiders yeah i i'm with brian on this there's no
there maybe there's an exception we don't know about maybe some some exceptions sure i mean you know
maybe maybe it have to be somewhere they've been living indoors for a long time but the way that
works is they come here because it's warm in the winter or whatever yeah because they found a little
opening and it's like oh i'm getting out of the rain into the nice dry house yeah and guess what
But same predator outside, other spiders as they have inside.
Yeah, I don't know if I buy that.
I know that's true.
Like, you know, your pet snakes and your birds and your stuff like that, they're domesticated animals.
But I don't think we...
Maybe there are, who knows, maybe there are, quote, unquote, domesticated house spiders that only know how to live in the house.
But anyway, I had to draw attention to that.
It caught my attention.
What's a spider expert where we call them?
They're not entomologists or...
Orn, not an ornithologist.
Arachnithologist.
Oh, arachnithologist?
Is that right?
There's another.
Arachnithologist.
There's another, Judy Saras, the science disagrees.
Okay.
Well, maybe she does now.
Well, look.
It's arachnithal.
It's arachnist.
Oh, it's, okay, you're right.
I think so.
Here, I'll play that thing.
Whoops, that's muted.
Sorry, I'll do it again.
Arachnologist.
Arachnologist.
Oh, arachnologist.
Okay.
Arachnologist.
Arachnologist.
Arachnologist.
I didn't prep.
Arachnological.
Oh, he's got another.
We got three of them.
That's an adjective and here is his name.
Oh, no.
Arachnology.
Oh, no.
What do we do?
Arachnologist.
Well, anyway, where was I?
Oh, news.
Time for the news.
Brought to you by.
hate good movies. It's a podcast. We're in a group of three movie lovers. Dallin, Spencer, and
Micah take on another first-year student and try to convince them that objectively phenomenal
movies are ruined by major flaws. On the latest episode, Micah, Dallin, and Spencer, try to convince
returning guest Annie that the cult classic Fight Club doesn't live up to the hype. Look for We Hate
Good Movies on Pod Bean or Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your shows. Now, one of these people
is Red Fragle's kid.
It's a fraglet.
Yes, one of these people
is a red fraglet.
Yeah, it's your job as listener
to figure out which one, okay?
That's right.
Listen to their voices
and see if you can place it.
I listened to this episode
about Fight Club.
This one personal to me
because I put Fight Club up
as one of my five
or so favorite movies.
And I struggled
at the very beginning
and then they won me over.
They, uh, because you can tell there's like a, there's a, a playfulness about the whole thing, right?
Like, they really do like Fight Club, but they're going to be the, the, the devil's advocate or the master debaters and try and convince somebody that, uh, that, that, uh, that Fight Club is not a good movie because of these.
Have they done Fury Road?
Do you know?
Do you know? I don't know. I think maybe they need to.
to have you on as a guest for Fury Road.
Not sure I can take it.
Fight scene.
Yeah, I don't know if I can take it or not.
If I hear anyone talk smack about my favorite film.
Although it is Dune Week, so I don't have to think about much else but Dune this week.
Right.
You can put Mad Max Free Road on the back burner for a little while while we focus on Dune.
Yeah.
And you're going to, I'm so excited.
You're going to see it Thursday, right?
I'm seeing it Thursday night.
Yep.
I'm seeing it Friday.
Opening night.
The Alma Draft House has a new, new foods, like a hummus plate that's some sort of like
Aracus worm food or something like that, some sandworm chow or something like that.
Sure.
It should be interesting.
That makes sense.
Why wouldn't you?
Go all in.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, Dr. Calhoun found some stuff.
Let's see this.
New scientists.
Sorry, this feels like it's important enough to make sure we cover.
All right.
Is the spider?
The spider thing.
outside. What's that?
It's the spider thing. The spider thing, right. Yeah.
So do house spiders released outside survive or navigate back? This is interesting.
Oh.
First, allow me to turn off my cookies because I'm not going to allow all the cookies.
Only allow the cookies you need. Just some of the cookies you need. That's it.
By the way, I think it's hilarious that when I go to a website that talks about diabetic stuff and sugar intake, that you have to approve a bunch of cookies to use their website. I think that's funny.
That's a little irony, isn't it?
Yeah. I don't like that at all.
Anyway, sorry, go ahead.
All right, yeah, it says the only place to release a house spider.
That's kind of the TLDR at the top.
The only place to release a house spider is a house.
That's their habitat.
So there you go.
But what's a house spider?
Because I've had black widows in here, and I know those live outside, too.
What's a house spider?
What does that even mean?
I think that's the thing, right?
I think you have to identify whether or not they are a spider that can live outside
and is used to foraging outside for its food,
or if it's something that's, you know, getting used to just eating a fiber bar, fiber one bar crumbs from the inside of the house.
So that's the only thing you can live on.
Okay.
I mean, I look, I'm here to learn new things.
If this is the case, I just need to know what a house spider is because that, to me, is too broad of a definition.
It's like, house spider.
There's a spider in my house.
Does that make it a spice?
A spice.
A house spider.
A spice houter?
Is that the spice girl?
Spice.
Yeah, it's outer
outer spice.
Oh, the long missing spice girl.
So let's see.
What's the other teeth?
I'd also caution that removing spiders from a home with specific temperature and humidity
into an environment that may be drastically different, and that's where it cuts off
from Dr. Calhoun's thing.
Okay.
All right.
Well, you know.
Dr. Calhoun?
Here we go.
Other spiders like cobweb spiders and settler spiders tend to do well in our homes for
entire life. In this case, they can be left alone, but if removed from the house,
they will often find the nearest area that is suitable and do their best to survive.
Yeah, I don't mind if he becomes a garage spider or a window well spider. That's totally
fine. Be a window well spider, and you get some warmth and safety and eat the bugs that
fall in there. Yeah, be my neighbor's house spider. How about that?
So, Jeannie Saris, thank you for correcting us.
We always love the, we always love the channel of corrections.
But what would you recommend saying, well, you're going to die outside anyway.
I mean, the problem is, I can't have one.
You just move to a different part of the house, Genie's right.
And I cannot have them crawling on my face.
Also, they don't know English and they don't follow rules.
So if I say to the spider, the furnished room is yours.
Right, exactly.
Stay out of the living room.
Then, yeah, how can I ensure that that will happen?
That's right.
I have a wife who's a full-on arachnophob.
She can't do it.
So how do I protect her from the wiles of a spider?
I don't know.
Exactly.
Because Carter takes all of them outside, right?
She loves them and takes them outside if she can.
Yeah, she tries to let them all escape.
But maybe if we've been doing that wrong, I'm happy to tell her that maybe that they can't survive out there.
I don't know.
What do you think of that, Carter?
Is she a wild spider?
Is that what happens?
You know what, Carter?
Get on that mic for a second right there.
Let's have this conversation.
If it turns out that house spiders are meant to be in a house.
Oh, I would keep, I know that they're meant to be in the house.
Okay.
I would keep them in the house.
Mom will allow it.
Okay.
Brian, go ahead.
What would you like, okay, would you just move them to another part of the house?
Here, hold on.
Or what do you do?
I got to wire her up.
Oh, gotcha.
Hang on, hang on.
She doesn't have headphones.
All right, here you go, Carter.
Okay, Brian, ask your question again.
All right.
So you want to keep them in the house.
what do you do with them that if you pick up a spider in the house,
what part of the house do you move it to?
Yeah.
Probably like we have a storage room that I would put them in.
You'd store them in a storage room?
There's a lot of hiding spaces in there.
My point is, if spiders don't get caught, you have spiders in your house either way.
Yeah, that's true.
Yes, right.
So I would give them a space where they can go hide again.
Yeah, but if, but they don't, they don't follow the rule.
If you say this is your place to hide in, they don't go.
go, oh, okay, thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I'll stay on my side of the tracks. On instinct,
they're going to go and hide. Like, they're not, the fact that you see any spiders is super
rare. Well, that's true, I guess. Yeah, that's true. They're usually, like, behind the walls. They're
behind the walls, Scott. They're in the walls. Don't so long. But now you put them in the
storage room where, you know, your dad's going to go looking for paper clips someday and reach
into a box and, oh, here's paper clips. No, it's a, it's a spider. Yeah, this is fair.
Look, I'm saying I respect your desire to save them, but if it turns out us letting them go is killing them,
Here's the thing.
What?
They have a higher chance of living if I let them go than if I just smush them.
Well, that's true.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, I feel like, I feel like a better chance.
They have an exponential better chance.
It's certainly better odds.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, that's a fair point.
Now, go back to whatever you were doing and good luck with your tattoo by now.
It got canceled.
You know what I do?
It got canceled?
Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, not.
The weather.
Yeah, the weather.
This tough weather is really.
Yeah, it really gets a tattoo in the snow.
You know what I do?
I'm going to do.
I'm going to 3D print a little.
house and it'll be the spider house and I'll have it uh on the side by the garage around
the like behind our fence and when we catch a spider I'm going to put in some little house
and it'll still be a house spider it'll just be at its own house they'll have its own house
and if I get into that house it totally can step on me and I'll totally allow it it'll be the
or it could be up and put me back in my house it's it's it will have a better chance of
housing than most of Carter's generation.
So good job.
All right.
Well, let's move on to this story.
Oh, yeah, we have a new story here.
Yeah.
A man.
A man makes $2.3 million off insider trading by snooping on his wife's remote work calls.
Ooh.
Dude.
There was a whole stupid moonlighting episode about this where,
this guy was cheating or this woman was cheating on her husband and no who was it the guy was cheating on his wife and he talks in his sleep and he's a stockbroker and he would in the talking in his sleep would be i got to buy a hundred shares of exon oh you got to sell my shares of so and so and this woman was making a killing and continuing to sleep with him because he was uh disclosing the secrets that's amazing that's an amazing premise for a television episode yes and
And apparently it's true to life, sort of.
Sort of.
This guy made over $1.67 million US.
Wow.
By listening to his wife's remote calls while she was working from home.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the SEC.
On Thursday, announced Tyler Loudon of Houston,
accused him of taking advantage of his wife's work from home setup to obtain non-public information.
And Garner, Garner, that looked like an M.
Illegal profits.
The agency said Loudoun's wife, who had not been publicly named, was a merger and acquisitions manager for the oil and gas company, British Petroleum.
She had been working to finalize the company's plans to acquire Travel Centers of America, Incorporated an Ohio-based full-service truck stop and Travel Center company.
But before BP made the public announcement about the acquisition, Loudon, H-42, purchased 46,450 shares of Travel Center's stock without his wife's knowledge.
he's in huge trouble
yes well she unfortunately was also in huge trouble
lost her job because of this
yeah that makes I could see that happening
but it's also like I feel for her
this is not it's not really
her fault exactly I mean
you know you kind of got to trust
the person you live with not to
spy on your calls and make money from it
is there anything that I know
because at least in the past or maybe even now
Tina's dealt with some like sensitive stuff
that yeah she does adult
protective services so i could listen in on her calls and figure out which elderly people to take
advantage of got it and say all right oh this person has a big bank account and is easily is easily
fooled by uh crypto scams great let me let me create my own nfti and send them that would be bad
yeah uh and dina would have full right to uh to to divorce me from that well as a result of this thing
This stock of this thing, he bought all those shares in, jumped 71%, which is a massive gain for him.
He is now pled guilty to securities fraud and we'll probably go to prison.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
We take our money very seriously in this country.
We do.
Sometimes more than an actual criminal thing's going on, but not that this isn't criminal, but you know what I mean.
We go after.
Let's see.
Here's a story we'll do.
Damn it.
Zoom.
Damn it, pandemic.
Damn it, work from home.
dangle this carrot in front of me.
Damn it.
Here's a cool, interesting thing.
This almost sounds like a Bobby thing.
Isolated for six months,
scientists in Antarctica
begin to develop their own accent.
Like the thing, sort of,
except...
Yeah.
Not exactly that.
Instead of a petri dish,
it's an accent.
That's right.
So the Antarctica is a very bleak,
remote, and dark place during the winter,
but a handful of people each year
brave the conditions to live almost
totally cut off from the rest of the world
and the experience can change the way they actually speak.
They say it, the article's very long,
but it basically goes into how 26 weeks of perpetual darkness
and harsh weather having to work very closely with each other,
see nobody else, travel nowhere,
you can't go anywhere, you're just there,
eventually new accents will emerge.
And a lot of it will be based on somebody came into the situation
with, say, a British accent, somebody else is there
from the south of, you know, like from...
It's melange of all the different...
It starts to emerge, and I love
this concept because this is how
cool science fiction accents
come up, like
the world of firefly...
Or whatever. The expanse
is a great example of this, like the
different accents that evolved from the...
Oh, the belters, dude, yeah. The belters, yes.
I love that stuff.
It's a huge fan of that thing, but to me
it's always been like science fiction, this
This is, I guess, proving out that if you stay, they're long enough.
Wow.
It's cool, right?
Super cool.
Yeah.
Would you get an opportunity to go, to go visit Antarctica?
But because of the way flights and stuff are arranged, you have to spend a month there.
Do you do it?
Oh, gosh.
I mean, it feels like a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
It's like, oh, yeah, we'd love to bring you up, you.
you know, up to Antarctica, you can stay at the seward station or whatever it is, the Andrew Bird station.
But unfortunately, the next flight back out, the one we can get you on wouldn't be until a month later.
Would you do it?
I think I might.
It sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime deal.
Like, when else are you ever going to get to see it?
As long as I could be there and not be told that there's very little food and water.
You know what I mean?
Like, I need to know that it's not going to be a nightmare.
won't yeah exactly you'll you know you'll be uh you'll be living in fremen suits and drinking
your own sweat and pee but other than that then sign me up is the world's biggest desert that's
true it is it's also um i don't know it's a it's a favorite it's a favorite horror movie
location of mine it is sure it's what i like about this season uh this recently just finished
season of true detective i like that setting i like it i don't like cold i don't like winter and i don't
snow so much, but I like
when a story is set in that
setting. So like 30
days of night or whatever that was called, the
vampire one that was set in the Arctic
the thing, of course. Oh, yeah.
Any of those kinds of things, love
that as a backdrop.
What was the
Robin Williams? Wasn't that
also Robin Williams
Al Pacino?
Oh, the one, the
paranoia? No, what was that thing called?
Yeah.
the one with the it's made by your by the guy made by yeah Christopher Nolan movie uh yeah not one hour
photo no is insomnia insomnia insomnia that's it yes yeah it's also the name of uh what do you call
it Stephen king book i think oh really it's not related not related on the same story yeah i really
like that book that book's great yeah it's also tied into the dark tower which i love oh well
well, what is it?
I mean, all his books kind of are, but that one is very explicitly, like, at the end especially, it's like, oh.
Oh, really? Okay.
Interesting.
Like, big crossover.
It's good, though.
It's not, and then it's not really a spoiler because it's, it doesn't, the story is its story, and then it's also a crossover.
It's hard to explain.
Final note here, a man charged with allegedly stealing subway sandwiches and growling at people in Morgantown.
Is this Pennsylvania?
Yeah, I think so.
Borgantown, Pennsylvania.
Let's see.
Let's say.
I think it is.
It's on a website called W. Boy.
West Virginia.
Maybe West Virginia.
Oh, is it West Virginia?
I'm trying to remember.
Morgan Town was a customer of ours, and I went there, and where the hell was it?
The Appalachian Times.
Yeah.
The...
I'm trying to see if...
I made the mistake.
Oh, I know.
I'll go to weather.
If I go to this 12W boy and tells me where the...
this is the holler herald the um west virgin town west virginia okay it is west virginia
none of those papers are real i was making those up everybody um let's move on to this it says
here a man was charged with allegedly stealing these sandwiches and uh threatening violence growling
at people in this town growling at people oh my god uh let's see the complaint was filed on
february 20th when officers arrived witnesses stated that david clark age 48 aren't they always of
Morgantown entered the subway and went behind the counter and started to make and eat food.
Make and eat food. Make and eat food. I need to make and eat food.
While Clark was behind the counter staff at the subway told him to stop, but Clark responded by raising his fist in a threatening manner.
Why does it say raise bracket ing?
Probably because the testimony said he raised his fist in a threatening manner.
Oh, so they got rid of the ED and replaced it with an ING?
With I-N-G, because they're taking a direct quote from the thing.
Okay.
I never understood quite how that worked when they do that.
Yeah.
Usually it's a, because without the I-N-G, it's just, it's not even a word, you know?
Right.
No, exactly.
Anyway.
But they wouldn't put raised-d-ring.
Raised-ding.
He started by raising his fist in a threatening manner and making threats and causing-ed-d-threats and
causating staff to flee the restauranting in a fear of bodily harm.
According to the complaint, officers located Clark outside the subway with an unpaid food with unpaid food in his mouth.
You've got unpaid food in your mouth.
Drop the food. It's unpaid.
$5 foot long of unpaid food.
Yep.
So now he's charged with robbery, sitting in jail waiting for arraignment.
So, well done, West Virginia.
Wow.
We're going to take a break when we come back our pal, Bill Durand will be here.
We're going to talk about making stuff.
And that'll be right after this song break.
Brian, would you bring?
I do so enjoy.
making stuff and Bill is the best of making
stuff. Hey, this is a brand new
album, I'm sorry, brand new single, but
it's from an upcoming album. The album doesn't
come out until April 19th. You've got some
time to wait, but you can get this
single right now. It's by a guy named Billy
Morrison, and
this guy
is, this guy,
who did he used to play with? I know he,
let's see,
I guess it's not who he used to play with. It's who he's
going to be playing with on this album. Some people
you might have heard of. Ozzy Osbourne, Billy
Idol, DMC, Al Juergenson,
Steve Vye, Steve Stevens, Linda
Perry, Tommy Klufaitos,
John 5, oh John 5,
great guitarist, and more.
This guy is
incredible talent, and
this is some rock and roll for you. Here's
Billy Morrison from his upcoming album.
Here's the song, Drowning.
Let me paint the picture for all the picture for all to say got a head full of lies.
If the information don't make sense
Another motherfucker just sitting on the fence
Losing lives with you throwing high fides
Please advise, don't compromise
Lay it down for once, for real
Gotta get off of this spinning wheel
It's your atrocity
Drowning, I'm drowning
Look into my eyes, feel the weight inside
Drowning, I'm drowning, now I'm breathing all your lives
And now I'm zippy sheepers from a plastic cup.
I got a 9-1-1, and I'm reeling.
I don't understand this feeling.
Gotta keep it going, and it never stops.
I gotta make my way to the highest roof top.
Another day with a different place.
Yeah, I'm a fucking disgrace.
It's your atrocity.
My sweet monotony,
my sweet monotony.
Drowning, I'm drowning
Look into my eyes, feel the white inside
Drowning, I'm going on.
Drowning,
Drowning,
Drowning
I'm
Drowning
I'm drowning
Drowning
Look into my eyes
Feel the white inside
Drowning and drowning
Welcome to the masquerade
Let's have a big parade
I'm gonna drown again
We're gonna see the end
We're gonna drown again
Let me make this real to you.
Bring on the virgins.
That's the doctor from the TV.
And we've returned.
Who was that one more time?
That's Billy Morrison, two R's one-ass.
Billy Morrison, a brand new single called Drowning from his upcoming solo album,
The Morrison Project, which has all those people you heard me mentioned before,
a lot of great talent, going to be joining the already talented Billy Morrison on that album.
That sounds like a hell of a group.
Heck yeah.
They may as well do, We Are the World while they're all there, you know?
That's right.
There's a song called Crack Cocaine featuring Ozzie and Steve Stevens.
let's see
Corey Taylor and Steve Vi
joining for a song called Insight the Watch
Puppets on a String
Oh yeah this looks like it'll be really good
Really good album coming out from Billy Morris
Seems nice
All right you guys
It's time for this right here
There's still something wrong isn't there Bill
What's funny is there never anything wrong when Bill comes on
I don't know why that clip says it
Because he can make things right
That's right Bill make things right for us
How are you? What's going on?
you're doing pretty great are you
and work on a lot of projects we've been putting out a bunch
of videos yeah that's good
how's your 3D printer world going I know
there's uh with that whole new project sounds like
things are kicking yeah I've got
a new project almost done that should be out
in the next couple of days it's really exciting
nice I'll be working on that today
lots of little pieces lots of moving parts
and very try to assemble what's the
so the the last one
oh man I don't want you to give anything away
you probably don't want to give anything away but what
like magnets springs like what uh is there a hidden what's the hidden secret in the new project
that you're that you're building i like this uh let's we'll just call this the there's two mechanisms
in the new project one of them is steering really steering yes oh my gosh you're making a car
i can't wait to see how this goes he's getting into it making them making the new ev
the punished props uh ev 12 or whatever you're going to call it very exciting
No, for whatever it's going to be, I can't, I can't wait to see.
It's going to be fun.
What did you bring with you today?
What are we talking about?
I want to talk about some fan films, specifically a fan film, but I've had the opportunity to work on a bunch of short films, like contributing props and costumes and whatnot.
Yeah.
And there's a new one getting made.
My friend Zach Finfrock is doing a new Fallout series.
We got the new show coming out, and he and his friends made a,
Fallout series a little over 10
years ago called Nuka Break
and it was a big hit back then
and then they stopped making him and now
he wants to sort of continue the story for his
character so he's doing a one-off
fan film from Fallout and
we sent a bunch of our
props so that they could use
them. Oh right because you've done so many
you like done the pit boy and
Nuka Cola and all sorts of
yeah several pit boys
Nuka cola bottles we've got
laser pistols I've got a nukela
Launcher.
Lots of stuff.
What a treasure trove of props for this person's fan film.
And I've forgotten several of them.
There's a lot.
Yeah.
So, but I am making something new.
Well, technically new.
I'm making the Thurstapper.
So it's a squirt gun that looks like a Nuka Kola squirt gun.
Okay.
And I made one about six years ago.
I 3D modeled it and 3D printed it for a friend of mine.
She was doing the Anuka Girl costume.
and I made the squirt gun for
but I printed another one back
then for myself. I wanted one
for myself and
on one of my tested trips
Norm and I started putting it together
but we also were trying
to add squirt gun functionality
to it. Oh, actual
squirting. That's right.
But we never finished
it because there was a pandemic
and I haven't been back there
in a while. So I've had this
like half finished kit sitting at
I shop for like five or six years.
But it was the perfect thing for this fan film.
Zach's character is very interested in Nuka Cola,
so we thought we got to do the Thursepper.
So I put it together.
We put a video out for it on the whole construction,
which is fun because it's different,
the old one that's got the squirting functionality.
But I also put a lot more effort into it.
Let's see.
It was a little wild.
I was going to say, it's got to be tougher to make something
that can hold water, right?
And his self-contained
is sealed enough to where it can have a little
reservoir of water. And I ended up
just taking, buying the smallest scorecut I could
find and installing the entire
thing inside as my
sportman. That's great. Oh my God, what a great way to do it.
That's awesome, dude. Look at that.
I had to modify it quite a bit, but we got it
to fit in there. It's kind of wild,
returning to a project that you've had languishing
for like five years.
like yeah in the video you can even see that box has been sitting there for so long it's got a proper label
oh i love the the so did you do you print these labels that you're now applying this um
the new yeah i've got a little a little oh yeah i've got a um industrial vinyl cutter for
it's like a cricket on steroids that's so cool oh my gosh doesn't it look legit it totally does
I would cover my whole house and shit like this.
Oh, yeah, that's what I do.
Yeah, that's awesome, dude.
It looks so dainty, though, because the cola words are the cursive looks like,
if you're not careful, you're going to get wrinkles in it and stuff and the lumps.
Oh, yeah.
That's cool.
All right.
I made some custom parts on the lathe for this.
That was really fun.
But the paint job is really what sets this whole thing off.
So the red is airbrushed on there, and I got a really nice red.
This is all Creetext paints.
They have tons of really good airbrush paints.
It's mostly just this bright red, but I mix in a little pearlescent red to give it just a little bit of that, like, automotive shimmer.
Yeah.
But the secret sauce is the clear coat.
This rattle can I got, it's nasty stuff.
You want to spray it outside.
You want to wear a respirator.
You don't want to breathe any of that stuff in.
But it's catalyzed.
You pop the bottom of it, a little button, and it puts a catalyst in the can, and then you mix it up.
And then the clock is ticking.
You have 48 hours to use a whole can.
But when you spray it, it sprays a perfect gloss coat that will fully cure in like two hours.
It's not dry.
It's curing.
It's got a chemical reaction.
Weird.
And it's solid.
It's like it cures fast and it's super glossy and it's very durable.
This ends up looking so solid state by the time you're done.
Yeah.
It's really, really good.
And the shimmer and the paint loves that gloss.
And it does.
It looks like you've got a nice automotive finish on there.
Wow.
That's great.
And it actually squirts.
It really does.
And I'm asking for it back when they're done because I love it.
Yeah, sure.
So what do they make?
Are they making a full on second film kind of thing?
Or what do they do?
Yeah, another short film.
It's being filmed right now, and it will come out some time in April.
A bunch of other people are helping out.
He's filming it down in L.A.
it's going to be really fun
he gets to explore the
the future of this character that they wrote
like 13 years ago
and he finally gets
his squirking
that's awesome
I love it I love it
screw you pandemic things come around
we get them done eventually
you know that's the attitude we should have
that's awesome dude
go check it out you guys
this thing is up there
the name of the video is it really squirts
which
I don't know if I would search that willy-nilly in different places, but, you know.
I think Red Toup might have a whole category about that.
They might.
Yeah.
I think you've got a real SEO going here, though, with that type of.
You might get a whole new audience that's like, where's the stepmom?
Yeah, where I don't see the stepmom in this air video about this burnt gun.
Anyway, this is great as always.
Bill always brings us something little extra, too.
What do you got going this week?
Yeah, a couple things.
One, Emerald City Comic-Con is this weekend.
Brittany and I will be there.
I've got a panel on Friday morning, if anyone's there.
Come on by.
We're doing a panel about turning our creative passion into a business.
What?
A bunch of my friends.
It's going to be really fun.
Cool.
And then we'll be in costume.
Brittany and I will have our satisfactory costumes on one day and probably Ghostbusters the other.
Oh, very nice.
Man, that Ghostbusters thing, it's almost more than your Drager outfit.
You get a lot of mileage out of that thing.
I really, yeah, and I will wear it a lot more.
I got a second proton pack for Britt that I need to paint to work on.
I want to make, there's going to be new stuff in the new movie.
I'll be doing Ghostbuster cosplay until the heat death of the universe.
Does it get its, does it get its own stink bag or is it the same stink bag use for the?
It's a box.
It's a box.
It's a box.
Yeah.
Does the box have a fancy label on it?
Not yet.
Oh, Brian just gave him an idea.
Stick box.
I think it's got a blue piece of painter's tape with some markers scrolled on it.
Oh, don't be so fancy.
Goodness gracious.
Well, Bill, it's always good to talk to you, dude.
I'm glad this is happening.
Can't wait to see you in Vegas.
I wanted to share Zach's GoFundMe.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Funding the film of the GoFundMe, it's over there.
If you look at Zach FinFrock, you'll find it.
I didn't know GoFundMe, let you do stuff that wasn't like dire family medical stuff.
That's interesting.
They'll let you do, apparently, just about anything, including paying for you.
People expenses if you run afoul of the law.
Yeah, I guess so.
I've seen some pretty crazy things, but I didn't know.
I don't know.
I guess I just always assumed it was nothing but that.
You can come up with an elaborate ploy to take money that you're claiming to give to a homeless person and use it for yourself with GoFundee.
That's right.
Bill could do an only fans where all he did was paint models.
It doesn't, you know.
Or I make ceiling fans.
That would be even better.
I only do fans.
See you later.
Well, Bill, thanks, dude, and have a fantastic rest of your week and month, and we'll see you soon.
You got it.
Bye now.
See you, Bill.
I'm going to add that GoFundMe video and then put the link to the GoFundMe underneath it on quicktmS.com.
Oh, very nice.
Don't forget to bookmark that, everybody.
It's a great place to get the latest of what we talked about on the show.
Any freaking link I can put up there, and I need to take down registration for the pond until we're ready to do another one.
uh we got a note here just a very brief one from seth this was a text okay yeah 801471040462 he says
i did a website for a pet pig farm called ross millfarm dot com they are great animals says
set so this is about we were talking about mini pigs or whatever micro pigs whatever yeah micro pigs yeah
and i guess the pot belly pigs but but isn't the whole story is that these don't actually exist
there's no such thing as a small pig they're actually just baby pigs and they're
Just to be fat.
Just grow up to be big pigs.
Yeah.
And everyone thinks when they get one, they're like, oh, it's going to stay small forever,
like the size of a cat.
No, uh-uh, no.
But this is a lovely website.
Brian, you get some competition here.
We've got to take a look here.
Oh, there's so many people who do better websites than me.
I won't be.
I am not under the impression that, uh, that, oh, that is nice.
That's very nice.
I want to go here.
Look at this place.
I know.
So you guys don't know this about me.
I don't know if I've said it before.
Maybe Brian can relate.
But I am kind of, uh,
I want one of two things in the extreme.
I either want to live in a penthouse apartment in the biggest city ever
on the top floor in a big beautiful sprawling apartment.
And I want to live right in the center of downtown.
I either want that or I want to live way out in the middle of nowhere
in a farm type situation like this.
Everything in between is fine.
That's where I'm at now.
But if I could go to be, if I could choose,
it would be one of those two extremes.
And it would be hard for me to choose.
No, New York is.
where I'd rather stay. I get allergic smelling hay. I just adore a penthouse view. So, Scott, I love you,
but give me Park Avenue. All right. You get Park Avenue. I'll take the farm upstate. Right.
And I'll... I'll come visit, though. I'll come visit, and you'll sneeze because my clothes will
smell like pigs and hay.
I don't know what it is about it. There's something about the simple life of just, like, go out and
feed the pigs that it attracts me i like it yep i need i need i want a uh i want a coffee a mom-and-pop
coffee shop that i can walk to but i want a pizza place i want a burger place also that are
within walking distance as well so yeah no these are all these are good creature comforts i
sign up for your newsletter i think it's happy if you guys have a thought or i feel like a farm
would grow scot out i mean maybe i don't know i don't mind all those all those animals
come with poop, Scott.
They do, but it's a different kind of poop.
It's like a, I don't know, there's a, there's something about it.
I can't explain it.
Every time I go to a farm, I feel at home there.
I think I could, I think I could do it.
But I'm not, I'm not saying I want, we need a listener with a farm to say, come live at our farm for a month.
Bring your, bring your computer, your microphone, we'll do, you know, you can do TMS remotely.
Okay, let's do it.
And then come live on a farm for a month.
Let's do it.
Somebody out there in the middle of nowhere, want to get.
give me a call. I prefer mountains, but if it's, you know, if it's flat, prairie land, that's
fine, whatever. Yeah. Well, let's give little mountain farms. Yeah. What are them mountain more than
their mountain farms? I mean more like surrounded by, not in the mountains. I mean, like, you know,
like a valley farm. Yeah. You want to, yeah, hidden valley farms is where you really want to
live. There's a ton of it between me and St. George, somewhere in there. Or it doesn't have to be
Utah, but something like that. Uh, yeah.
If anyone asked about Scott, we'll say.
It's going to live on a farm up state.
You guys are dorks.
All right, 801-47-10462 is where we got that from Seth.
If you'd like to be like Seth and do that, that'd be fine.
If you want anything else, you can find it at frogpants.com slash TMF.

get out of here. We got to do a song though. What do you got? Well, okay. This one's going out to
Thomas from Missouri. Didn't get to, we had a couple birthdays yesterday, so this one got
pushed to today. Hi, Scott and Brian. So it's my 52nd birthday on February 26th, but
