I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, September 24th, 2020.

We got ourselves at 2424. It's going on. Oh, it's pretty good. Pretty good. It's not bad. And if you're in Europe, then it's 24-9-24, right? So it's not palindromic, but at least the 24-0.4s. are separated by a nine.

Yeah. It's balanced. Yeah, it's balance. There you go. I like that. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to enjoy that today. A nice fair and balanced day.

It's a Tuesday. We hope you're all well. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Nibbitt. Did I say that already? I might have. I don't know. I didn't want to talk.

I didn't want to talk before introduce me. But hi, everybody. I say it every day. And so I sometimes think I've already said it. You know? I just never know. Yeah.

No, I know. And people, come on. I mean, who doesn't know, you guys? We say for the newcomers. yeah don't pretend out there at home that you don't know that's right uh so brian and i are here we got stuff to talk about and i got good news for the world good news everyone all right let's hear it we watch so you know we've been doing this watching of all the alien movies with the girls and um we watched three last night i gave him a nice swath of time to sort of prepare for the to to bask in the memory of

a newt and hicks yeah to kind of just know that you know i want to I wanted them to enjoy for as long as they could the feeling that everything was going to be okay. Yeah, yeah. And then before it, you know, got yanked away from them like a blanket in the cold night. And so we did that last night. We watched it. And they both really liked it. They liked that movie a lot.

Now, obviously, the feeling of like, oh, Nate or a newt and freaking Hicks and all this other stuff. That's a little hard to take. But I don't know how we missed this. Maybe we didn't, and I forgot. but when we watched it for film sack I didn't know there were two big Game of Thrones actors on that on that thing so Charles dance

obviously Charles dance the easy one right so you had Tywin Lannister and then talk to dance yeah the other guy is more of a small role they barely talked to him but at one point she has a big argument in the hall with him but the guy that plays the the eunuch the

oh my spiders are everywhere that guy yeah yeah the right yes what the heck was that guy's name is it varies Is that right? Veris. Yeah, Veris.

Ferris, Veres, Veris. So he shows up in there, and I went, how? I was like, how do we? Oh, man. Sorry, I had to pause for that one. That was really, that was good. Yeah. But I was like, how did this not come up in our episode?

We didn't even bring him up. No, we didn't even talk about that. That was really weird. But anyway, we had fun. We don't do a Game of Thrones connection as well. That's true. But I was going to ask if he was bald, but I think everybody was bald in that movie.

Yeah, they all had to shave their heads. Some of them had a little more hair than others. Like Tywin had his shirt off, and he was kind of a, I don't know, he was pretty buff in 92. The guy looked all right. He's, you know, he's an old reed now. He looks like an old weathered piece of wood now, but back then. Where did that land in relation to Last Action Hero? 94 was it?

So two years later, he was sticking uncomfortable, contact lenses in his eyes and you know what's funny is i if that's if i'm correct we'll look it up on the date here because i don't know if i'm right okay it was the very next year 93 okay and but to me last action hero is 10 years prior to alien three it's like not even close whatever reason yeah exactly i don't get i think i'm and i'm way worse of this you're great with the years i'm way worse because i think of movies in terms of where they should have been created lawnmore man should have been a 1986, 1987 movie. Yeah, and the fact that it somehow breached the 90s is unheard of that movie.

That thing is, what a piece of crap. But anyway, it was really fun. The kids liked it. Like Carter in particular, it was like, that was badass. Her falling off the thing and taking the baby queen with her and all that stuff. Right. It's such a great, like, the climactic, you know, getting the alien to chase them around so that they can trap it in certain places to be able to soak it in the liquid metal

or, you know, bury it in the liquid metal. Yeah, that lead. Or lava or whatever it is. A lead, yeah. I think it was lead, yeah. And then it comes out again, and then you got to put water on it. And it was like a, it was a fun, it was a fun, like, what's the machine called? The guy that you got all the marbles and it's named after a dude, Rube Goldberg device.

It really was, yeah. And then you get some, you get some, if I remember correctly, again, camera view from the Xenomorph perspective as he's chasing them down the hall. and xenovision. It had like dog abilities because it came out of the dog. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. Half dog, half alien, half xenomorph.

But the cool thing about it was, or the coolest thing about it, I thought, that I'd forgotten about was any of their practicals, up close practical effects, some of the best the series have ever seen. There's a reason why that shot of its face right next to her with the inner teeth coming out and she's like grimacing and all, you know, her hair's gone and everything. that kind of is the whole that's like the photo of all alien photos even though it's not the best movie by any stretch and there's a reason for that and they do this a lot

there's all these amazing practical effects but then the CG moments in this movie so freaking bad what do they have for CG moments like probably the the escape pod landing on the planet or falling

onto the planet some of that that looked okay but any time the alien was running down hall um they oh right the little dog shaped alien yeah it looked bad like really bad anytime they did practical stuff it was fine but they the minute they tried to fire up 3d studio max 2.0 and you know really go to town it got ugly but anyway it was really fun and now now i'm dreading four because i think that's where i might lose these these kids you know yeah it's i don't hate four there's things i like about four but four is so four feels like they went from being

very cool on the fringe of Hollywood-style movies to just saying, what if we made one of these with the formulaic Hollywood action tropes? Yeah. You know, and it's such a bummer because everything else about it's really good.

I don't know how I feel. I mean, I guess the only way you bring Ripley back is as a clone, so that makes sense. I don't like the and I know you, you're okay with it, especially in newer iterations, but the xenomorph human hybrid BS.

Not a fan, eh? Not a fan. He looks like a melted action figure is what he looks like. It's pretty, he looks like a giant wax ball in four. You're not wrong. He does. Yes. But I like the idea that they're going for there.

I think it's better realized in, let's say, newer things. I'll just say that. Especially because it's a... It's been two weeks. We probably feel safe in doing this, but yes. Yeah, that's probably okay. The fact that that's a real dude and he's such a,

freaky looking dude. Yes. I love that. Although I don't like, I don't like his little crotch pocket. You know what I'm talking about? I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, it's like a little, like a little, like what ducks have?

What's that called? Not a flopian tube. What does it ducks have? Coloclias. Cloquas. It's a hailicoco is what they have. They have got a Haley quoco down there. Colopa?

Is that how it's a prooppa? I don't know, but it's the thing that where you get the egg, get the poop and you get the pee out of there right all out of the same shoot yeah shoot shoot shoot anyway it was fun we'll let you guys know how four goes and uh probably won't be for a bit because kim's out of town soon and uh that's fine we'll give him a little bit of time to savor the the good parts of three and then four will we'll go down smoother i think if we wait a walka or cloaca That's it. Cloaca. That's it, Cloaca. Cloaca.

And then I'm really excited because once four's over. That's right. As soon as four's over, I get to go straight to Prometheus. I love Prometheus. Yeah, no, that was so much better. I knew I enjoyed it. I liked it so much better on my more recent viewing. Of that end, and Covenant. I think those two are a lot better than I remember them being. Yeah, they're great.

And then you're all geared up for Noah Hawley's Alien Earth series. Yeah. Well, I guess we'll end up seeing, we'll see Romulus first, but yes, we'll be, we'll completely be done. We'll be ready to go. We have a whole brand new generation of appreciators of the alien franchise. That's right. These kids, I mean, they're, I say kids, Carter's 26, but she would have been, what, what were you negative? I'm 27.

Sorry, 27. You were, you would have been negative five or something when this movie came out. We just watched, something like that. So that's weird. I don't like this conversation. This is making everybody seem old. I'm trying to de-age Tristan, too, because I can't believe if I have a 27-year-old son. That's so jacked up if you think about it.

It really is. It's like, hell is Tristan 23-9? No, he's 27. Yeah, that's right. He can be changing our diapers before you know it. Oh, geez. Geez. Anyway, so we did that.

Also, got a quick email from Robert from Hender Tucky. Love this guy when he writes in. Sure. Robert says, just found out. He says, Dear Shib, and I couldn't think of a Brian's substance. Institute. I don't know. Just anything with a B, right? Anything with a B, but I'm trying to think of the lyrics to the song he's going to be referencing and I can't come up with anything. A big guy, big horn. There we go. Oh, got it. Okay. Yeah. Big horn. We'll call you a big horn. How about that? I'm going to call you big horn anyway. No matter what,

you're a big horn now. Big horn. Remind me by 14-year-old years. What was the Futurama joke? The many years that I was 14, apparently. In Futurama, it's, what's the horn joke when Omicron Percy I 8 guy, they want human, oh, human, just human horn, which is basically fries wiener. Oh. And they think it's like a, if they harvest it, it's like some super awesome. It's like what we do with like tusks of an elephant or something like that. It's a great episode, but I can't remember anything about it.

Anyway, Dear Shab, and I couldn't think of a Brian Substitute, I just found out the guy who recorded the Purple People Eater song. is also the actor responsible for the Wilhelm scream. I didn't know this. I didn't know this either. And the only thing I knew about Shep Wully is that song because Dr. Demento is the Purple Peepleater song. Yeah, we heard that all the time growing up.

That song was everywhere. Sheb Willy lived from 1921 to 2003. It's a pretty long run. I hope he wasn't a podcast listener. I guarantee he wasn't because it was 2003. Imagine all the shows that have talked that much about how much they hate the Wilhelm scream. and you know he wasn't getting residuals.

P.S. I don't think I would be afraid of a purple people leader. There are no purple people. I see what you did there. It's a sentence structure issue. Watch out for David Tennant and Jessica Jones, but okay. Okay. Yeah, we do have an example there. Anyways, as that said, the show's kind of growing on me somewhat. Robert from Hender Tucky.

Yeah, that song, it reminds me, it's probably like a certain generation's macarena, where the first couple times you hear it, you're like catchy, fun, let's have a party. It's a fun novelty song, cool. Then later you're like, ugh, don't ever play that again, ever. I mean, I don't even want to hear it.

And I don't, you know, I haven't heard it in a hundred years, but I swear I don't want. I heard it recently. One of the things, and I'm trying to remember what it was before, which movie they showed it before at Alamo Draft House, but you know they do the 30 minutes of fun videos, stuff they find on YouTube.

Oh, yeah, we got a, boy, reminds me woman in a cage or lady in a cage i got to add that to our film sac uh lady in a cage all right lady in a cage i think it's called tell me more what do we got yeah 1964 american psychological thriller film that here's the best part of lady in the cage it's Olivia to havelin but that's not the best part no it's the trailer and i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna put the trailer uh into are you pulling it up right now i'm gonna if you if you if you paste it i'm going to click it okay all right i'm going to pay you it because what you've described sounds fantastic and I can't wait to see this.

We'll show everybody once this pops. Yeah, and let's see. Oh, good. This one does have, this one actually begins as we saw it with Olivia to Havelin warning you about the movie you're about to see a trailer for. Really? Okay. Here we go, everybody.

Get your grandpa glasses on. This is black and white and we're going to play it. Here we go. Am I really? Oh, are you? There's a side of life we tend to ignore the world. of humans so callous, so degraded, they are worse than animals. My new picture, Lady in a Cage, explores that world.

It's a strong picture with a terrifying theme which affects us all. That's why I urge adult responsible people to see Lady in a Cage. You will be shocked, you will be terrified and fascinated. So I caution you, do not see it alone. See Lady in a Cage with somebody you can hold on to for dear life. Jeez, it's a stark warning. Now you get the introduction of all of the different characters in Lady in a Cage, including the title character, Lady in a Cage.

Is she the Lady in the Cage? That's her? From what I can tell in the film, and I'm sure this is so much different than what it looks like, she's just in the worst panic room sitting in her living room, like dangling above her living room. And then you get this cast of character. that they're about to introduce. Yeah, right?

Like these, yeah. Look at them all, wrestling in there. We're going to get introductions to each and every one of them here. Oh, this is amazing. It's powerful to stop the psychopathic horror that Hems are in. We're going to kill you, pop. All of you. You and a human being.

I need to do. Helpless before the rage of such characters as the Wino. All right. You got the Wino. All right. The hustler, a blousey past him, the most amazing role and Southern has ever played. The musler. The musler.

The lusty for the last wild thrill of killing. A weirdo, a blonde psycho driven attempt to taunt to destroy. The wildo, frenzied by a woman's body or the razor edge of a sharp glittering knife. They're all in lady in a cage. Oh, well, shit. That is not for the week. Yeah. This is amazing, dude. A weirdo and the wildo in the same film.

I don't know if I can handle it. it. I don't know either, but let's please get that on the list. We've got to watch that. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We haven't seen anything black and white in a long time anyway, so. I don't know if you still have it up, but just jump really quickly to three minutes and 11 seconds. 3.11.

Yeah. That's the color of my energy. I was waiting for that. Let's see. Here we go. All right, I'm going to hit play. If you get some text, the theater management warns you. Do not see Lady in a Cage alone. Yeah.

It is a shocking picture, is an adult picture. No holds are barred in, lady in a cage. Wow. The font work is on point. It's fantastic. I mean, you get a pre-warning from Olivia to Havelin and a post-warning scroll from the theater management. So my guess is it's not nearly as scary as they make it seem.

No, no, exactly. All right, that's amazing. Nice fun. Yeah. So even if we don't see it for FilmSack, we need to watch the trailer for FilmSack. which we just did. So there you go.

There you go. The Wildo, the Hustler, the Musler, and the... Oh, I didn't realize they kind of rhyme, right? Oh. The hustler and the Musler. Yeah. The Weirdo and the Wildo. Yeah.

And then the Wino. Then the Wino. The Wino... I need to see this entire film regardless. I think so. Never even heard of it. Like... Jeannie are you...

I don't see Jeannie in the chat. Jeannie are you familiar with Lady in the Cage? Yeah, she has not chimed in. This feels like one. that she would have seen. I saw her earlier, but I haven't seen anything in a while. Maybe she's bustling around doing stuff. She might be doing stuff, yeah.

All right, well, there's that. Let's move on now to, oh. Did we cover all of Shab Willey? I guess not. Oh, yeah, we did. Yeah, I think we did. But I am going to talk about this thing. I got this text from John Fu, who talked about one of my recommendals, which is called Rebel Ridge, did a couple of weeks ago.

And I love that movie. Everyone should see it's on Netflix, fantastic movie. one of my favorite movies of the year. Anyway, there was some confusion because at the time I said, I don't know why it's called Rebel Ridge. They don't say in the movie. Apparently, I missed it.

There's signs and stuff. It's the location where the final kind of showdown happens. Okay. He just wanted to let me and everybody know. This is like the fifth guy to tell me. They show it in the movie. I missed it somehow. I will be watching it again at some point,

so I'll watch for it. But Rebel Ridge is called that because the final fight happens in Rebel Ridge. or at Rebel Ridge. Yeah, makes sense. Which is still fit. By the way, Tina, I watched Randy's Recommmental from a couple weeks ago.

And enjoyed it all the way through it, and we're just like, oh, this is great. Oh, wow. And credit sequence, very cool. Oh, this is great. And then one of the things it recommends you watch afterwards,

and then it hits me, it recommended the Fall Guy extended edition. I'm like, oh, that's the one Randy told us to watch was the extended edition. Dang it. I don't, I mean, did we determine what the big difference was, though? Like, is it? We didn't.

I don't think we did. Yeah, no, I think, but Randy saw in theaters and then saw the, oh, it looks like I cut out for a second. All right. Oh, I didn't hear it. Oh, okay. Sounded fine to me. You guys missed it. Oh, it was Fall Guy.

For those who missed it. Oh, yeah, Fall Guy. Randy's recommendal. Yeah, you haven't cut out at all. I don't know what that was. Might have been a stream issue then. Yeah. Post, post Scott.

Yeah. Something on the YouTube side. Sorry about that. Anyway, so, yeah, make sure when you watch it, I guess. I mean, Randy said, make sure you watch the Fall Guy Extended Edition. No, I'm not going to rewatch it, Claire. Life's too short. Yeah, why are you going to do that for?

I mean, I guess you can do that. Okay, Claire says you need it. So is it that good, Claire? Is it that big of a difference? Yeah, what? Come on now. Let's see here. Fall Guy comparison, theatrical cut, extended cut.

The, um, the two, oh well there's a lot right 22 extra minutes of stuff oh geez that's a fair amount that is a fair amount that's like a lord of the rings uh directors type thing yeah you know where there's a bunch of content does this this one actually doesn't even say what oh it does see what the scene longer shot of colt blah blah blah blah reordered scene blah blah blah i don't know it's it feels like a um it's not director's cut right it's like just like a just extended but it does look i mean there is a lot of stuff apparently in the uh uh in this i mean if i enjoyed the fall guy can we leave it at that you can do i need to do we need to go back and uh you don't have to get blown up for

rachel welch again you're fine i'm not the kind dukes ain't tail or i've been caught with pharaoh harrow something something with the thing and the deal and stuff oh yeah i got a I know that song's right. I've practiced. We got one final note here that I would like to mention. Kim and I decided the other day on our little getaway date after film sack and all that stuff on Sunday that we would go up the mountain to snowbird.

To snowbird, yeah, the clip-clop. Yeah, we wanted to go to the clip-clop and have dinner. We thought that'd be a fun thing to do. And it's beautiful up there right now. The colors are changing, you know. You get all this red and orange. and yellow so we're like we're going up there and we start on our way and we're like boy there are a lot of people at the base of the canyon what's going on today well don't worry about it

we'll just keep going you know it's september like what 22nd or whatever that was and uh we keep going up the mountain and there's a lot of people parked on side roads and are like is there something going on and just wasn't clicking with me oh no so we finally get up there where there's about an hour a mile and a half left to get to snowbird and now it's nothing cars parked along the side of this highway or this and i and you're thinking i mean i know that rode up right i've i've done that a bunch of times for intertaculars and stuff and even going to town and then coming back to bringing people up so that's you know the fact that if there's cars lined up there that means all those parking lots up there are full yeah yeah so i'm

it's starting to dawn on me that we've got a problem but i'm like well maybe it's okay but then we hit this part where there's about a mile left and traffic is dead stopped and some people are like pulling out of traffic and pulling into a weird little corner that barely fits them getting out and then walking that direction. And I'm like, I got to look this up. And I still hadn't dawned on me. Of course I should know what this is. I pull out my phone. Because it's not October yet. So, you know, thinking October is not the first thing that comes to your mind. But no. And so I just didn't even think about it. So I pick up my phone. I look snowbird events and it lists this calendar. and it was the starting weekend

of Octoberfest and that place was packed and these I mean those I don't know what those cars were going to do they were all just like stopped so I said Kim it's October Fest we are not going up here for this

you just turn around the left yeah so we had to wait for a gap and then whipped around and ended up someone going somewhere else but it was it was beautiful up there I will say that the canyons are amazing right now holy crap I remember you tell when we were talking about snowbird

and you every time we brought up snowbird as a place to do when we when we went and even checked out snowbird that very first time when you know karenn and and jason took me to get some very heavy milky latte coffee and i cropped us all over uh all over snowbird yeah i'm gonna go over and check i wonder if this would be a good area over here for like boots and stuff and i go over there all right i'm back listen at least i was very polite about it right I didn't do it around everybody. I went over into the corner I did it. And then you guys didn't even know I did until I told you I did it. They called it fart bird for a month. They did. Yeah.

I was putting a whole extra new clip clop in the clipclop. Oh, yeah. But yeah, it's a beautiful place in the fall. And so, you know, it seemed nice. Like, hey, we're going to go have dinner and it'll be nice and quiet. It's a Sunday. Nobody's up here. No, dude.

But I remember you telling me all the time about how October Fest is such a big deal to them up there because it's their big. they're big, their big summer event, you don't want to plan anything around. And then they kick right into ski season. Yeah. So, uh, yeah,

it's, it's just insane. So I don't know that we'll be up. We'll be up the canyon again sometime in October because we're going to do photos up there at the family, but we're not going near that, nearly that high up there because that was just, that was insane.

And I think it goes through all of October. They have events all through October for October fest. It's not just a couple of weekends. And, you know, if I have some kind of beer dude, maybe I'd go again but the last time I went my kids were little

and Nick kicked over a guy's glass mug of beer and shattered it everywhere oh no I mean it's just a little kid see you know whatever yeah of course of course but

I'm sure the guy wasn't mad because he's a little kid but still's like party foul Octoberfest party foul we had to get the F out of there pretty quick after that he didn't seem to notice he seemed pretty drunk this guy so yeah I've got two weeks until

my own Oktoberfest, the Great American Beer Fest, which, because of the video game festival, I have to go on the Thursday night right before the Friday morning. Like, basically for two weeks, I'm doing this craziness where, like, the Thursday night right before the Southeast meetup, Tedpool meetup, I am officiating a wedding. And then it's going to be a big party and drinking and all that sort of thing. Then I've got to get up early to fly, early, early. like leaving for the airport at 4 a.m. early. That's how early.

Yeah. Because Southwest changed our flights. And then the next week, going to the Beer Fest Thursday night, then getting up early to fly to Houston for the video game festival. Yeah. That's a lot, man. That's a lot. It is.

Don't drink too much, I guess is all we're saying. I'm going to test my constitution on airplanes in both cases. We're going to see how I do. For a little bit of that. Just drink some milk. It'll be fine. Oh, yeah. No, it won't be that in, Scott.

Just grab yourself some. milk drink that down then you'll be farting and burping it'll be amazing yeah just releasing the pressure valve is all it needs right so don't go up there everyone unless you love october fest and then that case do apparently we have one of the better ones in the west so go for it have fun not for me too much people too insane uh too many people plus i could tell i know this is a post-covid thing but i could tell i was breathing less less well at the higher elevations so the higher we got a little bit yeah And I normally doesn't bother me at all. Normally no issues.

But just coming off of COVID, it was like a, I could just feel it, you know. So I was fine going back down. And we went to this place we love called Cliff. I forgot the name now. We love it, but I don't know the name. It always reminds. The clip-clop restaurant. Yeah, there's something down in the valley.

And we've been there before and overlooks the whole valley near Draper. It's beautiful there. But I can never remember the name. But it always reminds me of a Vegas restaurant. and by that I mean like really tall ceilings and wide hallways and the bathrooms are decked out and like it's very vagus in its presentation. Nice. Not in a cheesy kind of like gaudy way.

Yeah, yeah, no, but like in the in the posh sense. Yeah. I highly recommend it if I could remember the name. All right, let's get to some news before the news runs out. All right. We can't have that happen. And I don't know why I don't have a thing up. Oh, here we go.

it's time for the news and it's brought to you by want to see a crazy young irish girl oh wait there should be a comma there want to see a crazy young irish girl draw live on stream good news because claire is doing just that catch her live streams at twitch dot tv slash claire gack gack c l-a-r-e no eye in that claire all right everybody there's no i and claire there's no there is no eye in claire actually there is, yeah, there's only eye. Yeah, there's only eye, Claire. If we want to get specific about it.

All right, let's get to this story here. Electrocuted birds are bursting into flames and starting wildfires. That's not good. Electrooted birds are bursting into flames and starting wildfires and burning up the windmills. It does sound like one of his windmill

complains. It sounds like it sounds like something if he would have spouted at the debate. Electricuted birds are bursting into flames. Yeah, and the pets, they're going to eat your pets. They're eating the pets. They're eating the electric good birds. They've been some really great remix songs made around that quote. I don't know if you've heard them, but they're real good. No, I have not.

They're reading the pets, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats. It's like this awesome techno beat. It makes the vinegar go down a little easier when you hear it. It's not so bad. Is Schmo Yoho responsible? I did see a weird al-Yankovic a shmo yo-ho video. I haven't seen those guys in forever. Shmo yo-ho accent on the yo! I assume they still are doing it.

Yeah, but boy, not as frequently. At least, at least, if they're doing it more frequently, it's not recommending them to me on YouTube as much as they used to. But this is the first thing I've seen since it's been a while, maybe months. Weird.

Yeah. Yeah, I feel like I haven't heard a lot from them since the, what's that late? lady that was like, she saw fire or something. I'm backing it up because that's what my mama told me. Oh, yeah, that one, that one used to be earwormy as hell. Back it up, back it up. Yeah, that one would be, uh, my mama told me good or taught me good, whatever it is.

And the, uh, hide your, hide your wife, hide your kids. I saw somebody interviewed him the other day about some. Really? Like a brand new interview? Yeah. Like some big topic. Like, are we, really? We're going to that guy for, we need to get the, we need to get the, uh, the, the temperature from dude from a meme from 10 years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Can we get a chocolate rain dude? Yeah. You get David after dentist? What's David after dentist doing right now? I guarantee you less than you think. Actually, he might be doing all right. I don't know. How about cash me outside? Can we get the, uh, hot tip from cash me

outside? Or the, it's rainbow, triple rainbow guy or whatever, double rainbow? Yeah. Yeah. Is it double or triple? I don't remember. This is double rainbow. Stoner rainbow is what it should have been. Anyway. Yeah, exactly. So these electricuted flaming bird carcasses are falling all over power lines and causing wildfires across the U.S. The surprisingly common phenomenon has been responsible for at least three Colorado fires

in the summer. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. It's where you're getting your schmoke. Apparently so, yeah. These vents are not isolated. 2022 study found that electrocuted birds caused 44 wilds.

wildfires in the contiguous United States between 2014 and 2018. Study was led by Taylor Barnes, a biologist who now works for electric utility company, EDM International, which is electronic dance music international, exactly. In the paper, Barnes wrote that the avian-caused ignitions. I love that. That's amazing. The avian-caused ignitions. Happen when a bird sits on an overheated power line for reasons it can vary from case to case.

Sometimes the bird receives a powerful enough shock, setting it on fire. the dead or dying bird then falls and on occasion lands in some brush or other flammable material and poof the forest goes up in flames it certainly doesn't surprise me here in Colorado because we've had such a dry summer a hot

and dry summer that everything's crispy but I don't know maybe so where how do we solve this problem we've identified the problem Scott now what do we do we put little those kiddie swimming pools under all of our power lines Do we give the birds little rubber booties to wear?

This is a great question, because this is a problem we created, right, by having power lines at all? Because birds, birds are just landing where birds land. They don't care where it is. They don't know. So how do we fix this? Do we just eat more double downs? Eat more birds. Eat more birds.

Yeah. Hire people to stay below the lines when the bird bursts into flames. You catch it. It's already cooked. You just de feather it a little bit. Take it to KFC. We're done. This news article brought to you by Popeyes.

Yeah, dude. Ooh, chicken straps. I can't bring up food, can I? I can't do. I couldn't do wings yesterday like I wanted to. So now I'm still chicken hungry. You're still craving the wings. Yeah.

I realize, yeah, I've got to take Tina's mom to another radiation appointment today. And the thing is, when I take her back home, I'm much close. closer to the wing place. Maybe that's what I do. I don't eat lunch until I take her. Is it the good one we talked about the other day? Fire on the mountain place. Yeah.

Like I could go to fire on the mountain and get some wings. Here's the thing. I got to eat them there, right? Because they're hot. The problem I had with them before is that I brought them back to trivia and they got cold. Yeah. Plus you don't want to eat them in the car. You know, it's a mess.

Yeah. So, all right. Maybe I do that. Yeah. I think you should, Brian. cave to your desires. Do it. I'm going to cave to my desires.

Sorry, Orange Theory. I know you worked me real hard this morning. I'm going to throw it all the way over some wings. Do they grill them, fry them, or bake them there? Do you know? Grill them, fry them. Put them in a pan. I'm hearing hobbits for some reason.

The potatoes. I think they fry them. Okay. Nothing wrong with fried. I prefer baked, but it's rare. most people are most places i don't know it's a really good question i don't know i don't know how they prepare their wings baked or uh uh grilled or my or my picks if i can get it really grilled oh yeah grilled wings so good i mean it's still basically the same thing so you you grill them first

then you dab them in the goo and then you roll them in the sauce and whatever the flavors are you're going to get it's kind of the same process but you avoid the the friedness of it because fried and i don't get along that well sure sure i don't like the i don't like the head the deep, like the, um, breaded, uh, lightly bread and deep fried. Like, I, I don't like, uh, chicken fingers as much because, well, some places, Keynes is okay. There's a new place that we like called binge. Yeah.

Um, but sometimes you get, uh, oh, you did cut out. Hold on, say apart again. That cut out again. Weird. Oh, really? I haven't heard that in days. What the hell was that? No, what happened?

What's going on? Does I open too many things? I don't know. Too many things open? I don't know what, I don't know what it is. But you were doing this awesome thing with your hand, and I don't know what you said, so let's say that again. All the breading, like getting a boneless chicken fingers.

Oh, yeah, I don't like that. You get this tons of breading, and then a little tiny piece of chicken in the middle of it. That gives me grumbly guts. I can't eat it anymore. Yeah, no. I've gotten to a place in my life where it's like, I just have to say no to those things. And if I don't, I'm just, I'm in for the night, just how it is. I'm a, I'm going on that toilet regretting.

Here we go. So looking at it, it's traditional. bone-in chicken wings cage-free hormone-free antibiotic-free chicken wings fried till crispy always fresh never frozen and you can substitute with satan satan how do you pronounce that claire satan satan oh why do i ask claire how to pronounce things i'm gonna get like a 45-second audio clip yeah yeah well it's um pronounced satan um yeah so really like um say tan is how it's pronounced okay you really get the nuance of it because that is what those are like when she sends them they're like um i don't know she answers the thing and then there's a um yeah so really that's like she says it again and then

um okay so yeah there it is there it is just arrived here's the thing she doesn't know that i can't do she send it to you too no but i want her to so i can play it i want to hear it can you forward it easily how is it oh maybe i can let me see i've never tried forwarding um i haven't either i don't know if you can do it. Let's see. Copy. You do it on a phone, but I don't know about the... Copy message link, but that probably won't do it.

No. Oh, she just sent it to me. Good. Okay. Now I'll play it. I'll just record another one. I was saying Satan, Satan, Satan. So it's Satan.

Satan. Satanic panic. So what could those wings be made of? It sounds like the way that... What's her name on Schitt's Creek would say it? Satanic panic, David. David. Yes. Oh, she's great.

If you have not seen, Kevin Keneff himself, I'm going to recommend it again, recommend it again, because it's really good. And I think it is now, they've moved it off of AMC Plus onto Hulu, I think. And she's really good. Oh, but you're doing Moyer. You're not doing that.

Well, yeah, but it's also still a good reminder. And didn't they all get on stage together at the Emmys or something? They're all hanging out. They did. Yeah. That was cool. I like that. It was very cool. I only saw a clip with Noadio and I just assumed it was a nice little homecoming for them all. It's a nice little, yeah, because the levees were hosting and... Did you watch that? Did you get into it?

I watched the last half of it. Teen was out of town. I lifted late, got some takeout, brought it home. It had already started. I couldn't start, I couldn't, for whatever reason, move back up to the beginning. And so I'm like, eh, I'll just watch it from here. And I heard about some other things. I'm like, ah, that's cool. I don't feel like going back and watching. any of it. Not the kind of thing you need to go back and

no, I did, you know, seeing Richie and Fonzie together again was kind of cool and seeing the cast of the West Wing all gathered around Oh, I do like that. I miss that. Sheen was cool. Damn it, I need to watch that again. That's my next rewatch. When MASH is over, that's my behind the scenes.

Oh, you're currently doing MASH? Yeah. I just, I watched those two MASH document. Yeah, and I watched those two documentaries on Tubey and it just got me in the mood. I'm like, yeah, I'm watching mash now. Nice. You know?

Those docs are great. One of them in particular, I don't remember the name, but just search for MASH and you'll get two of these documentaries. They're both good, but they're relatively recent, like 2022, I think, is the one I like the most. And it's everybody now, right, that's still alive anyway. And then some archival footage of like, who played Henry, McLean, Stevenson, you know, others who have died, but, you know, them talking about stuff about the show.

And then modern, like modern, modern. just barely filmed footage of Alan Alda and B.J. Honeycutt's guy, I can't think he was name all of a sudden. Mike Farrell. It's great. It's very, very good. And it inspired me to just watch the whole damn thing again. So, that's cool. I've been, for whatever reason, I don't know why. I think I was looking something up for a trivia question and from the pond or something and picked up from there and started watching friends again just because I needed something like I like noise while I'm eating lunch and I didn't feel like getting into a heavy this week tonight or last week tonight or a daily show or anything like that so put on friends

and I was reminded people may I may be alone in this but man seventh seventh season of friends was a rough one it's bad it was a little yeah they were like caricatures of themselves 100% agree with you and this happens with most shows so we're not we're just talking late stage series here problems yeah but yeah friends did not survive that. Like it did just as bad as anybody else. And I will, you know, as much as I, I love Seinfeld, seventh season, was it, seventh, or whatever, ninth season, whatever their last season was, there are some high points,

soup Nazi, a few others like that. But there are some very low lows, like some really bad stuff. So I don't know what it is about final season TV. Final season of TNG, their seventh season, terrible, except for the finale, the two-hour finale, amazing. Everything else garbaggio that season. I don't understand. Is it just that everyone's like, eh, we're done, we're just phoning

it in. I think it's because they run out of, you can even tell during the seventh season they were rolling the friends dice and saying, we haven't done a story with just Chandler and Rachel together. So let's do a story about them. I know, cheesecake will get randomly delivered to the apartment building

and they'll eat it. Oh, great, great. Let's make that the A story. Yeah. Yeah. it's really not great that final season and there's too much of like seven season or seven season I keep saying I don't know if they that mean they kind of rewrite it did they rewrite the ship or what did they

oh yeah and the clip shows oh geez all those were bad so many freaking clip shows I hate clip shows Tina's like oh you're rewatching friends let's all watch an episode with you and we put it on and it was the Monica and Chandler writing their vows and it's just basically the same

oh here's Chandler hiding Monica in the bathtub. Oh, chicken? I could eat some chicken. Hey, Joey, grab me a bucket and blah, blah, blah. And the, oh, the, yeah, the dang clip shows I could so do without. My wife hates them so bad that this is the, here's my impression of her when a clip show comes on, our clip episode. So we're watching, maybe Seinfeld, and they have some clip stuff like 100 episodes.

Here's a clip show. As soon as she gets a whiff that it's a clip show. I hear this. where's the remote yeah absolutely that's her even if even if uh

and i'll agree with you maybe yeah the end where joey you know they're they're eating cheesecake off the floor because they had their little fight and the cheesecake ended up on the floor and they're both eating it and joey pulls a fork out of his pockets oh what are we eating that was the that was the funny the only funny payoff of that whole cheesecake thing

yeah i mean but it never got those first seasons are just better Like all shows are like this Yeah There's very few where they're consistent All the way through Breaking Bad is great all the way through There are definitely examples

Of great all the way through But most series stumble toward the end They do Yeah they just get a little Little caricaturey With their characters Right? Yeah

I don't love that Yeah Well we go from Birds on Fire To Birds on Fire Two minutes later Birds on Fire Oh that hits The Duran Duran hit that never was.

That's right. Teacher charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly drawing on a student's throat. And that student was post him alone. That's right. And he kept it. And he kept going. And he kept going. I had a sighting of him this week.

Did you really? Yeah. You know his truck that he has on the cover of his new country album? The F-1,000, F-1 million, wherever he called it. Yeah. Did you see that? Yeah. That actual truck.

is now parked out in front of his canes in mid, Midvale, yeah. Of course. And he was, when we drove past, he's out walking around with people, like, pointing at stuff and setting it up. But now it's like a permanent fixture. It's just going to sit there and be his, I don't know, it's like a trophy to the place or whatever. It's just beat up old.

Sure. Like, another reason, like, go and take your picture with the trek that was on the cover of his album, kind of thing. Kind of that, yeah. He seems to be pretty proud of that whole thing. What's hilarious is, and I didn't realize until I finally went out there, This location that he bought and branded as his own canes, it's got big pink paint on it, it's got his face on the side of it, it's all this stuff, literally right across the street.

I mean, I could walk across the street from where I worked as a kid at a Chi-Chi's, or as a teenager. So it's this Chi-Chi's, or I think his, there's, that location where they are used to be a big boy's, you know, with the guy with the platter out front. Oh, Azar, yeah, that thing. Azar's Big Boy, or I guess it was, it was a different owner. It wasn't always Azar's Big Boy. Yeah. No one ever met Azar.

We don't know if that guy was even real. We don't know if they, yeah, exactly. Freaking Azar. But anyway, I think that one got all ripped out and they built the canes. And now it faces it directly across the street from what was Chi-Chi's, which I have a million experiences and stories from. Girl claimed I was, but she was pregnant by me, even though I'd never, I'd never even kissed the girl. It was the same place where I. She left a stuffed animal on your doorstep, didn't she?

On fire, yeah. On fire, yeah. knife in it that said, I love you with a knife in it. She was crazy. Her name was Paula and I hope she's better now. She's doing fine. I hope she's a lot better now, honestly. I friend her on Facebook. She's doing great. She was such a mess, dude. But then it was also, where you had your pink vomit. Yeah, my pink, what do you call it? Strawberry daugherty. Strawberry daugherty. Yeah, made me puk. It's also the parking lot where Juan sold me his $200 Ford Maverick or Mercury Maverick car that I drove through high school and I only paid $200 for it. So many memories. Well, now, now it's a

Bepa to Bupa or Bucca to Beppo. Oh, Bucca to Beppo, sure. And we all are, I don't know if you were there. I think you were there. But we all ate there for a Nurtacular once. Yeah, right. We, that was the, uh, here's a, here is a blast from the past, Scott. Yeah. We created a character there named Fancy Dragon. Oh, that's right. We, we, I forgot about A placemat got passed around, and we all started adding to it, and we came up with a character named Fancy Dragon. And Fancy Dragon had a Twitter account. Like Fancy Dragon, we would all tweet, or somebody had the account who would tweet as Fancy Dragon. What did this?

It was Veronica and Randy and Sam Jane, and who else was there? Nicole was there, Nicole was there, Nicole and Mark. I think Patrick might have been there. Patrick, I think, was there, yeah. I think everybody was there. Pretty much the whole crew. We filled up an entire room. Like, it was a big frog pants, All-Stars table with, and we were all passing this thing.

So who ended up with that placemat thing? I don't know. I don't know. I might even have it somewhere, but I have no idea where I would have put it. I know I have a photo of it, but I have no idea, like, how I'd search for the photo, fancy dragon. Do you remember the date of that Nurtacular? It would have been 2013. Oh, I think we wrote Fancy Dragon on it.

So maybe I can find it in... Nope, I can't find it in... It feels like something I were to take in a picture of and then saved, but I can't find anything like that. Yeah. What did you say the year was? 2013, or sorry, yeah, 2013. So it was our first snowbird year, I believe.

No, wait, you know what? It would have been 2012 then because we didn't do it at snowbirds. So 2012, that's correct. Right. Yep, all right. Look at that. I got pictures of the airy 2013. Okay, let's go.

back to 2012. I don't have Jack in here. You don't have Jack. I have lots of dragon photos or drawings and things. Let's see. That would have been

that would have been what time of year did we do the Natucus? July, usually. Usually July or summer. Could be May. Here we go.

Here we go. We're getting close. Tristan at Disneyland. Welcome to Los Angeles. Oh, that was the year of the Coverville. No, it was not. Cover of 800 would have been 08, right? Or 500 would have been 08, yeah.

Oh, 500 was 08. Yeah. Apparently, I was sending somebody photos of the thing here. Let's see. Dang it. I want to see it. Yeah. I've got the Smooth Federation.

Yeah. Poster. Yeah. Found a whole box full of those, by the way. Yeah. Oh, you still have a bunch of those? We should do some giveaways. We'll have a bunch of those.

I don't know. I don't know what to. Oh, there's my friend with Ed Asner. My friend, Patsy. Let's see a picture of Patsy with Ed Asner. Yes. I'll give you this while I'm, uh, Patsy worked at, uh, Southwest, I'm sorry, worked for Southwest Airlines.

She's no longer with us. She had, uh, MS, and she's one of the reasons that I do the MS-150. Oh, that makes me sad. We don't have him anymore either, no Ed Asner either. We don't have Ed Asner to kick around anymore now. I loved him. Yeah, I did too. That guy was freaking great.

He had the best Twitter account before he died. God, I have all these photos from Nerdtacular, but I don't have us with Fancy Dragon. Shoot. Well. Oh, well. But you have the memory, and that's, you know. I have the memory.

Like, I've got, that was, oh, wow, that was the, that was the first appearance of the Ibit bomb. I have the photo right here, I think. I bet bomb, I thought I bit bomb was 2011. Well, no, 2009, because we were at my house when we took it, and you were behind. Oh, so it wasn't this one right here. Let me take a look. You reproduced it a lot.

Yeah, I did. It made, oh, yeah. No, that's the one, but that's 2011. So that's the one. That's 2012. Is that 2012? That one is 2012. That one is also from 2012, and there's a guy with the shirt with my face, my Ibit bomb face on it.

Now I don't know what to think. I thought it was from 2009 when you guys. were at the house for the night before dinner thing well let's take a look maybe bucate abepo was 2011 let's see boy this is some riveting uh audio for folks look we're going back in time everybody we're enjoying ourselves that is absolutely 2012 art so you making that face yeah shit i don't know dude let's see here i love that's nerdtacular here we might be on to something maybe no i got nothing i've got you doing it behind schley somewhere.

I think that one. And that was 9.09. Right. This really is terrible radio, but I don't care. It is terrible radio. Who cares? I don't care. We're doing it.

Ibit bomb. Do I have anything that says, Ibit bomb? That's just you singing something. Oh. Ah, man. Yeah. Well, we'll locate this thing.

We'll see what it can do. We'll see what we can do. We've got to be able to find it. All right. Well, anyway, we should take a break. When we come back from this break, Bill Duran will be joining us. We're going to talk about making things. Yes.

It's been a while since we've had them on, so I'm looking forward to that. But, Brian, before that, why don't you present a song to us? Okay. This is a Bay Area band called The Happies. And make sure you spell it, H-A-P-Y-S. This also features Sublime's Eric Wilson on vocals. These guys are happy. If you find photos of them, you'll find them to be very, very happy.

So they do have the correct name. This is their lady's scene. I think I told you the name of the single is She Found Love. Like I said, recorded Sublime Studio in San Diego with Eric Wilson on vocals. What is the album coming out? Do they have an album coming out? I'm sure they do. Get to the name of the album.

Nope, looks like no name of an album. All right, the Happies. And their brand new single, She Found Love. A revolution without me, but I'll move on.

Yeah, I've got, uh, I've got that all fouled up in my head then. Yeah, I think I even have, this looks like it was taken outside the Bucatabbepo with Randy and Sam Jane and, um.

bill thing but they're so well filmed like such great they really are and slow the right use of slowbo right music is great your little dear dragon con we love yeah i just it was so so good It's trying to be sentimental this year. I think I pulled it off. Yeah, he did a great job. So, yeah, this is awesome. Go check it out, you guys. Punish Props on YouTube.

This is like one of the most recent videos. Oh, and there you are in the background, one of those. So is it me or is it Rob? Because he's in the video a lot as well. Good question. Good question. You know, you've had a lifetime of this. Why not continue to have people confuse who you are?

We did dress up exactly the same for one evening just to throw everyone off. And it worked. Wow. That's fantastic. Ooh, the guy with the giant Googly eye. Hey, let's get into what you got this week. What did you bring for us? What are we doing? So for Dragon Khan, I made a Baldur's Gate costume. We talked about that last time.

But so did Brittany. And she filmed a whole series of videos over on our YouTube channel. She dressed up as Carlac, which is a lot more involved than sewing a robe and putting on a wig. So there were a ton, a ton. of bouldersgate costumes at dragon con there was this huge photo shoot we all met up there's these big stairs in the back of the hilton there and uh there were so many balder's gate cosplayers that we had to go up in waves to take photos geez uh and then they split out by character so there were like 20 or 30 gales there were probably 20 carlacks it was really really something to behold just a ton

of uh why so many gales do you think like i know my play through of balder's gate three gale's hung out in camp and just told me he'd blow up if i didn't give him magical items that was his entire job in my run through that game yeah but so many people were gale and it makes me think i missed out on not having gale run with my main crew you know i think that's a testament to how um the characters are not generically cool they are specifically cool in a way that everyone has their favorites. Britt absolutely loved Carlac. A lot of people,

Carlac was their favorite. So she had to dress up as that one. But all the characters have their own quirks that people connect with. And I think it's one of the reasons why the game's so good. Yeah, Carlac is a fan favorite. Everybody loves Carlac. Carter is working on her Carlac costume. It looks amazing.

Thanks and large to it, an amazing 3D print job on the horns that Brian here did for us. They look amazing. Oh, stop you. They look great. They look great. She painted them and they look even better painted. They look amazing painted.

Yeah, she did your job. The tricky part is getting them to stay on your head. Actually, do you have any recommendations for that? How'd you get her horns to stay up there? Well, like I said, Brittany's got a whole series of videos over on our YouTube channel. I wanted to talk about that a little bit today. First, the wig. So, Brittany, I can't see it one of me.

Brittany made her bought her wig. It's a storebought wig. There are, you can just buy carlack wigs too. People are making whole carlack wigs that you can get that are pretty much already done. She got one that was the right color and then she styled it herself.

And then the horns, she did not 3D print them. She made them out of EVA foam and those are attached to the wig. And then the wig gets pinned to her hair in a way that it that it stays put. The main thing you want is for those horns to be as light as possible. Yeah.

It's one of the reasons Britt used foam for hers. Yeah, as opposed to 3D printing. Yeah, I printed it with as little infill as possible just to make it light. But they're still pretty light. They're not, they don't feel like big heavy things. But we are finding it to be a challenge as to how to mount them properly and have them not pull forward or whatever so this is this is good advice i mean foam obviously has has weight advantages but also you are like i mean you literally have a series of books called the foam smith we wrote the book yes that's right

it's right sculpting so yeah so uh she did the wig she did the horn she has a video on teeth this is really cool if you're doing like a vampire costume we found this thermoplastic it's uh it comes in little white beads and then you just put it in hot water and it gets pliable enough that you can sculpt a tooth right over your own tooth. And Brittany and I both did this. We have a video where we both gave it a try. It's pretty neat

and super, super cheap. And if it doesn't work, you can just reheat it and re-sculpt it again or just throw it away and grab some more of the plastic. So teeth worked really well. Then what else did she did? She did her ears

and she tried a couple of different methods. She ended up using foam clay to make her ears. So foam clay is Yeah, it's kind of like EVA foam, but it comes in a squishy putty, sort of. Yeah, it's like, at least the stuff I tried was like a white crayola made. And it's super, super light, like lighter than, yeah, I guess, because of foam. And that was the challenge.

The first attempt, Britt made she sculpted her ears out of Scopi, which is a polymer clay. and it was so heavy that it was just leveraging away from her head, just pulling away from her head. The foam clay is so light, she's able to use a medical adhesive. We use prosaid to basically glue it to her ear. By the way, a prosaid comes with a prosaid remover,

which you really want to make sure you buy both of those. Sure. Because that stuff is serious. That's like for gluing wounds closed and stuff. But yeah, she was able to stick it to her ears and they stayed on her head for a few hours while she was in the costume. It worked really well. Yeah, that's awesome.

So how'd this tail get made? Because I'm dying to know what the hell happened. Yeah, the tail was cool. So there's a standalone video on just the tail. Britt found someone online that had made a similar tail. I believe they were making the night crawler tail. And it's a bit of an engineering challenge. You want the tail to stay.

You don't want it to droop. You want it to stay in that side profile shape. But you also want it to swing back and forth. So the core of the tail is actually a piece of fabric that is not stretchy. You could also use something like nylon webbing. And then there are ribs of plastic glued and riveted to the outside of it with gaps between them every couple of inches so that it can swing back and forth. And then outside of that, she added a bunch of up upholstery foam to bulk it up and to sculpt it into a tail form.

and then she basically sewed a big stretchy sock that went over the whole thing to cover it in that red fabric and then it had to get mounted to a belt in her video where she walks out with it in your recap and it's the way it moves I thought you CG bullshit had something I thought you guys were faking it

the movement is so so good it's incredible it looks like it moves on its own yeah really wild how well you guys did that that was something else and again there's a whole series of videos that Britt did on a on the whole costume not she didn't cover the whole costume from start to finish because it was a lot but she broke out a few of the

different more challenging parts and made videos on it so if you're making a tail at all for any costume this will help you figure that out yeah it's really something that thing's awesome well it looks like the she killed it you were gale yeah how did it feel to be gale you feel all right you know it was great it was I mean in the game there he makes copies of himself so being in a group of like 20 gales was pretty thrilling. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty accurate to the character. Did you

whine a lot and complain that you don't have enough magic items and sit around camp annoying me? No, okay. I did have a ton of fun and I wore that thing all day. It was super, super comfortable until eventually the wig was just way too hot. I had to take it off. But we did

change, we wore our Baldersgate costumes and then we changed out of the Balders Gate costumes but left the wig and makeup on and became Gail and Carlack dressed up as Ghostbusters for a little while. That's great. That's a nice little mashup, yeah. Nothing wrong with that.

You got the stink bag full of extras. You may as well use them. Yeah, that's right. Comes with me everywhere I go. That's awesome. Well, these are all up and available now, and I highly recommend watching that recap of Dragon Khan video you made. It's very good.

And as always, Pinnish Props is a fantastic place to hang out on you. YouTube and of course the website at prunishpops.com. Bill, you had a little bonus link for us today. I do. No link, no video. I just want the entire world to know that, and they're listening, I hope. Uh, satisfactory 1.0 is out. And I'm playing it again. Oh, it finally, it finally is real. Like out of, uh, out of long public data, or not public data, but yeah. I think five years of early access. We've played through it three or four times already. We're playing through it again. And if you're into automation games, it's the best kind of rabbit hole to dive down.

It's a blast. Yeah. It's really good. They added an option to make it a bunch of conveyor belts. They made the option so that the creatures don't attack you. And I like that. Oh, that's great. It's like, I don't need to bother that.

And you can turn all the spider creatures into kittens, which is what I've done. Yeah. They've done a really great job. That game's awesome. It's very, very good. We've got people in our community making the wildest freaking factors. Oh, yeah. It's insane to me.

It makes me feel stupid. I can't look at other people's stuff because I just have spaghetti going on. Oh, geez. I've played through the game so many times. I've got like, 500 hours into it. And people are like, is that all? Is that what you've got there? People that are like not afraid to stream or record their, their satisfactory builds.

I admire them because to me it is the most like intimidating idea of showing off your bad factories. You're basically giving them a glimpse into how you keep your house. I could easily like clean up this whole area and reorganize everything or I could just put this box right here. It's working. It's working. Why would I change it? Yeah. Great point. Well, Bill, it's always good to talk to you. Punishprops.com, of course, will lead you to all the things that you're going to want from him. And we hope that you have a great month until we see you again. You've got it, friends. See you're the real fancy dragon all along. That's right. The fancy dragons we met along the way.

That's right. I wonder if they ever, it's still Windows only, right? Yeah, I don't think there's Mac version. I thought I could do Steam link and play it on whatever device I want. It plays on Steam deck. I don't know how well. Yeah, that... Because the game doesn't have great controller support to start with. Right, right.

So I don't know how that I don't use it with a... Maybe I could use it with a keyboard and mouse on my... my iPad and Steamlink. That might not be bad. You could get that going, sure. Yeah. It's a great game. Such a great game. It really is. All right, a couple of quick things before we get out of here.

Word on the street happens today at 1 p.m. Mountain Time. And today's guest is just Greg and I. We're just going to talk about where they're at. They're at a major kind of alpha turning point type space in the game. And we're going to talk about what they're doing, how they're doing it. And it's been one of the requests we've had is like all these amazing people from the company have been come on, talking about different aspects of what it takes to build a game in 2024 and an MMO in particular. And what we haven't done is spent a lot of time with just, just Greg, the visionary in charge of everything.

So all spotlight on him today. It's going to be fun. We'll record about an hour. And that happens again at 1 p.m. Mountain Time here at frogpans.tv. So check that out. And then we're going to do a live stream along with John, myself, and Bo, the core crew for the PlayStation State of Play today, 4 p.m. Mountain time. and you can come watch that live. It'll also be put up in archival form on both YouTube and audio.

So if you miss it, there's a way to catch it. Hopefully they don't shut us down because sometimes they get weird. Oh, sure. About copyright and stuff, which is so dumb. It's so dumb. I don't know why they do that. But anyway, we'll get back to all that later today. So please come check it out.

Everything else for us is at frogpants.com slash TMS. Brian, all we have less is to play a damn request. Let's play this damn request. Amanda, he goes by the name Amanda Catherine X on the socials and Discord I just where did I just

oh yeah she was nice enough to retweet or like my comment about how long I've been podcasting on threads I post a thing about threads and yeah Dave Schlesher like right before Rob used and said in Discord hey Brian I think Dave Schlesher might be

might have podcasted longer than you and still has the evil genius crime articles might still be going on. And he confirmed, yeah, it's, it started about a month before mine and it is still going. And I like Dave Schlesher. He's, he's on Backbeat Media with me in Coverville. So I got a, I got a support and, uh, love the guy. Uh, anyway, so she, she retweeted that. She says, hi, Safron and Basil. I've kind of been going through, uh, going through it as of late with work not going great. I've actually, I'm actually seriously thinking about hardcore

a job searching so that I can leave my current job. I even found Brian on LinkedIn and sent a connection request. I try to find Scott, but turns out there are a lot of Scott Johnson's in the world. I've been feeling pretty down lately and if anything can turn my mood around. It's TMS and Chapel Rhone. I'd love a cover of Pink Pony

Club, which fills me with Joy. It also makes me wonder if I should just throw my stable job away and be on stage in my heels at a pink pony club somewhere. Oh, to dream. I hope you guys have a wonderful day and thank you so much for everything you do. Love to Catherine X.

Oh, nice. Sorry. Yeah. It's not good to be going through rough stuff. I am on LinkedIn, but it's a dumb name. I think it's,

oh no, it is, I guess it is just my name. It's Scott Johnson, but you're right. There's too many of me, so I wouldn't worry about it. There's too many Scott Johnsons.

Yeah. This is our own and this one. Yeah, I've been getting into, as Claire knows, for like the last seven or eight months I've been getting into Chapo. Ever since I first heard

Red Wine Supernova, I've just been hooked. And so, a cover of Pink Pony Club how about this one right here? I listen to a dozen of them and this one I felt still captured the feel of the song
