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?
Starting point is 00:02:30 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.
Starting point is 00:02:45 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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.
Starting point is 00:03:15 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.
Starting point is 00:03:27 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.
Starting point is 00:03:39 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.
Starting point is 00:03:54 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:22 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.
Starting point is 00:04:35 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.
Starting point is 00:04:46 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.
Starting point is 00:04:57 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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.
Starting point is 00:05:25 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.
Starting point is 00:05:43 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.
Starting point is 00:05:54 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?
Starting point is 00:06:14 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
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:07:34 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
Starting point is 00:07:59 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.
Starting point is 00:08:15 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
Starting point is 00:08:47 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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.
Starting point is 00:09:24 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,
Starting point is 00:09:34 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.
Starting point is 00:09:43 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.
Starting point is 00:09:52 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,
Starting point is 00:10:27 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,
Starting point is 00:10:42 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
Starting point is 00:10:58 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
Starting point is 00:11:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:31 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.
Starting point is 00:11:48 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?
Starting point is 00:12:16 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
Starting point is 00:13:05 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.
Starting point is 00:13:38 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...
Starting point is 00:13:50 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.
Starting point is 00:14:23 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
Starting point is 00:14:49 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.
Starting point is 00:14:57 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?
Starting point is 00:15:08 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.
Starting point is 00:15:24 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.
Starting point is 00:15:35 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.
Starting point is 00:15:46 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.
Starting point is 00:16:01 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.
Starting point is 00:16:18 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.
Starting point is 00:16:46 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.
Starting point is 00:17:15 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.
Starting point is 00:17:34 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.
Starting point is 00:17:46 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?
Starting point is 00:18:11 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.
Starting point is 00:18:49 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 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?
Starting point is 00:19:27 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
Starting point is 00:19:48 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
Starting point is 00:20:06 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
Starting point is 00:20:25 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
Starting point is 00:20:54 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
Starting point is 00:21:40 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.
Starting point is 00:21:53 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.
Starting point is 00:22:03 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...
Starting point is 00:22:21 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,
Starting point is 00:22:36 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.
Starting point is 00:22:51 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.
Starting point is 00:23:05 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.
Starting point is 00:23:14 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.
Starting point is 00:23:26 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. it's easy to credit their success to great products, sleek branding, and brilliant marketing. But here's the overlooked secret. The real magic lies in the engine behind the scenes, the business powering their business.

Starting point is 00:24:23 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.
Starting point is 00:24:39 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.
Starting point is 00:25:13 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.
Starting point is 00:25:25 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.
Starting point is 00:25:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:56 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?
Starting point is 00:26:11 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.
Starting point is 00:26:23 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.
Starting point is 00:27:05 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.
Starting point is 00:27:15 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.
Starting point is 00:27:26 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.
Starting point is 00:27:40 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.
Starting point is 00:27:48 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.
Starting point is 00:28:00 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.
Starting point is 00:28:20 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.
Starting point is 00:28:42 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.
Starting point is 00:29:02 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?
Starting point is 00:29:18 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.
Starting point is 00:29:31 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.
Starting point is 00:30:09 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?
Starting point is 00:30:31 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.
Starting point is 00:30:46 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Whoops, that's muted. Sorry, I'll do it again. Arachnologist. Arachnologist. Oh, arachnologist. Okay. Arachnologist. Arachnologist.
Starting point is 00:31:05 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.
Starting point is 00:31:19 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
Starting point is 00:31:38 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.
Starting point is 00:32:07 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
Starting point is 00:32:18 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.
Starting point is 00:32:55 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.
Starting point is 00:33:12 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.
Starting point is 00:33:29 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?
Starting point is 00:33:48 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?
Starting point is 00:33:59 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.
Starting point is 00:34:26 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.
Starting point is 00:34:39 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.
Starting point is 00:35:05 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.
Starting point is 00:35:22 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.
Starting point is 00:35:37 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?
Starting point is 00:35:52 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.
Starting point is 00:36:26 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.
Starting point is 00:36:48 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.
Starting point is 00:37:04 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?
Starting point is 00:37:20 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.
Starting point is 00:37:33 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.
Starting point is 00:37:43 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.
Starting point is 00:37:54 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.
Starting point is 00:38:15 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,
Starting point is 00:38:48 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.
Starting point is 00:39:01 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.
Starting point is 00:39:11 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.
Starting point is 00:39:18 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.
Starting point is 00:39:51 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,
Starting point is 00:40:15 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,
Starting point is 00:41:04 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
Starting point is 00:41:48 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
Starting point is 00:42:04 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
Starting point is 00:42:41 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.
Starting point is 00:43:06 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.
Starting point is 00:43:16 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.
Starting point is 00:43:29 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
Starting point is 00:43:40 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
Starting point is 00:44:09 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...
Starting point is 00:44:25 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.
Starting point is 00:44:44 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.
Starting point is 00:45:03 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?
Starting point is 00:45:30 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
Starting point is 00:46:09 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.
Starting point is 00:46:25 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
Starting point is 00:46:47 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.
Starting point is 00:47:17 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.
Starting point is 00:47:38 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?
Starting point is 00:47:54 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...
Starting point is 00:48:06 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.
Starting point is 00:48:54 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?
Starting point is 00:49:19 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.
Starting point is 00:49:42 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.
Starting point is 00:50:00 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

Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol, DMC, Al Juergenson, Steve Vye, Steve Stevens, Linda Perry, Tommy Klufaitos, John 5, oh John 5, great guitarist, and more.

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?

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
Starting point is 00:56:10 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
Starting point is 00:56:33 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?
Starting point is 00:57:04 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
Starting point is 00:57:32 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
Starting point is 00:57:48 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.
Starting point is 00:58:05 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.
Starting point is 00:58:20 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
Starting point is 00:58:37 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
Starting point is 00:58:53 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,
Starting point is 00:59:14 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
Starting point is 00:59:33 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,
Starting point is 00:59:51 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.
Starting point is 01:00:28 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.
Starting point is 01:00:43 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.
Starting point is 01:01:08 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.
Starting point is 01:01:31 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.
Starting point is 01:01:46 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.
Starting point is 01:02:00 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.
Starting point is 01:02:19 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
Starting point is 01:02:34 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
Starting point is 01:02:48 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.
Starting point is 01:03:13 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.
Starting point is 01:03:27 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.
Starting point is 01:03:42 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.
Starting point is 01:04:08 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.
Starting point is 01:04:22 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.
Starting point is 01:04:38 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.
Starting point is 01:04:56 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.
Starting point is 01:05:16 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.
Starting point is 01:05:35 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.
Starting point is 01:06:16 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.
Starting point is 01:06:28 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.
Starting point is 01:06:41 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
Starting point is 01:07:02 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,
Starting point is 01:07:21 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
Starting point is 01:08:05 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.
Starting point is 01:08:30 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,
Starting point is 01:08:57 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.
