Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered weak and weary, over many acquainted, curious volume of forgotten lore. While I nodded clearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as if someone gently rapping at my chamber door. I opened it and found a listener who wanted to know how to support the show. So, of course, I sent them to patreon.com slash TMS. Coming up on the morning stream, swooshes, splats, and dynamic ribbon devices. Bushfish update. Melotic in my metal. The untamed baboon heart

Sometimes Tom took the boat Riding at MacArthur Park for polar ride for miniature golf. Boy, it's always came home so happy. Once outside, now inside. M-M-S-D-G-M-S-S-S-D-D. The morning stream.

All the ladies love for Lure. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024. Scott Johnson here, Brian, a bit there. Good morning, Brian. Good morning, Scott. Yes, indeed.

We've come back. Just as we promised there'd be a Tuesday. If anyone was worried, worry no more. We're back. We're here. Yeah. How was Orange Theory this morning? I know you got a workout on the Tuesday.

It was good. It's funny. the um usually my my calories burned estimate and my splat points usually like uh calories burned is somewhere in the 900 to a thousand area and then splat points which is how much time you spend in the orange zone like your workout zones um 80 to 90 percent of your maximum heart uh heart rate right um usually i'm spending about 30 minutes during uh in that um uh in that orange zone and And today I was only in there for three or four minutes, but my calories burned were still high. So I was still, I think, right on the cusp of that.

But I don't know. Either I'm getting better or today's was a little less of a heavy deal workout. I'll bet you're getting better. Do you think that they, well, how do they track that? How do they know when you're in the zone? Do you have something on you, like a track? I have a heart rate monitor, yeah. And that heart rate monitor, it's like a little band.

And I put it up here on my bicep to just get, you know, get a heartbeat. recording, that's where they recommend. And it's on the treadmills and on the rowers, it'll actually tell you what your heartbeat is, how many splat points you've earned, what the,

you know, how many minutes you've spent in there, what your calories burned are. But then they've also got TVs all throughout the place that have everybody's names and all that data. So you can just look up and say, oh yeah, how am I doing begins the other Brian. Oh, the other Brian is killing it today. Or I'm kicking the other

Brian's ass today or whatever. Or if you don't care about that sort of thing, then you just do your thing and realize that if you try and compete, you're going to be sore like you were last week. Yeah, that's true. That board would make me a little competitive, I think. I'd see it and go. I want to be on top there, you know? It's easy now not to be competitive after how I felt last week how how rough it was last week for me. So you can't cash these points, these splat points. It's not like a thing

like an arcade with the tickets. You can't like turn them in and get a rubber spider or anything. No. That's a bummer. No, it's really just kind of you know, compare day after day and just see how you're doing. It's like you know, any other and the splat, the terminology I assume

is just around the orange thing. It's around that logo that looks like a splat, that four-pronged, orange The Orange Theory logo. Oh, okay. That's kind of like the Nike has the swoosh and the Coke has the dynamic ribbon device. Orange Theory has the splat. Got it.

That makes sense. Lean into your brand, I say. Exactly. No questioning me on Coke's logo being the dynamic ribbon device. Oh, is that really what it's called? I don't know. It's really what it's called. I just assumed you were, I assumed you'd know.

I'd never heard of that before. Why do they call it that? Is that a... I have no idea. It's just called the dynamic ribbon device, and it's that, it's that, um, just the real swirl that goes underneath the Coca-Cola logo, yeah. Odd thing that is. It's such a weird, why not just call it the ribbon?

Yeah, it's called the dynamic ribbon device. Yeah. Who at Coke was walking around the building that day? Geez, Louise, what a weird thing to say. Dynamic ribbon device, man. I assume that it's not, I mean, it's not really dynamic, though. dynamic means it can fluctuate i guess it does it does fluctuate and it's yeah and it's but it's a static fluctuation right it's just there it's there's they're they should call it

dynamic as art can be yeah there you go everybody dynamic ribbon uh dynamic ribbon i uh so i caught up on from last night and i will not share any spoilers today but i just want to say the way that thing ended well first of all see this part of the notes where i wrote f Dale. I wrote that before the thing happened. Oh, really? Oh, funny. Okay. Because that guy drives me freaking crazy. The entire series is like, shut up, dude. You're the worst. You're the worst. Yeah. I know. He's been the cause of so many problems. And, uh, uh, yeah. Damn. But I'll say this. You can trace a lot of shit back to Dale because of his like, oh, I'm going to create a mob. I want to create a mob and make everybody do what I want. 100%. I'm going to accidentally stab people. I'm going to do all kinds of

dumb shit, and then I'm going to be the biggest pain in everyone's asking. He's the worst. But anyway, as much as I agree with most people that Harold Perrono is your pivot of this show, he's kind of your central character. He kind of carries a lot of things. He's your Jack. That episode, though, fifth episode season three, and when you all get there, Vincent, freaking wrecked me, man.

He's so good. That was such a genuine, amazing moment, and I think it's that actor. he's very good at this he is really really good he is um he has yeah he's got double duty because he's kind of got to play this um maybe on the spectrum but definitely you know he's definitely been kind of broken by life kind of thing yeah and uh and then has to has to work within that that um spectrum not the spectrum is probably not the right word but that that range to then convey the emotions that he does and he's so good he's so good at it man just i hope they don't they need to keep that character right where he's at in terms of his his the kind of man that he is

that has to stay that can't get altered or i'm going to be pissed so yeah for sure no anyway fantastic show catch up everybody hopefully hopefully they've got some plaster somewhere in that town uh they're going to need some spackle they're going to need uh yeah spackle yeah a little paint maybe a little febrize for later for later down the road yeah yeah that would pretty soon they're going to need it

yeah it won't be long and a lot of chlorination in a certain pool that's going to be important anyway hell of a show um all right uh I did not know this we got a we got a message a text okay this is without a name

but this is about TV Travis's this is about a TV Travis's last segment the show and he says this just listen to tvs travis trivia about kurt russell being elvis impersonator in three thousand miles to graceland uh which is true he was also and i didn't know this he was also the uncredited voice of elvis and forest gum no idea oh i'd forgotten about that that is great trivia there was like a trivia question that we had to answer about you know uh kurt russell's elvis appearances and uh that's where that that came up i had no idea that was him i mean it's just

He's completely forgotten about it. Yeah. I'm going to have to go back and I haven't seen Forrest Gump in a hundred years, so maybe I need to give that a shot. There was a time in my life where I both loved Forrest Gump and hated it because it took the Oscar away from Shawshank Redemption. And even a little part of me was like, and you also took it from Pulp Fiction. And these were two movies that probably, in retrospect, deserved it more from an artistic standpoint. Obviously, it's everybody's got different opinions or whatever. but I also love Forrest Gump

I think it's an amazing movie It really took me places It has all the feels Tom Hanks is amazing Like it's It's not that it's It was never a bad thing But it just

We all got wrapped up into that whole Oh Shawshank was robbed This for any was Right Yeah in any other year Shawshank would have had it Yeah It should have had it that year

There's lots of movies Like this though right Like Sure What's the one someone always someone always brings up oh shit

there's a there's a famous example of this where it was clear that something else should have won whatever every year somebody claims this so it's not sure this is nothing new took away the Oscar my cousin Vinnie took away the Oscar

from everything else that year yeah that's what it was I think her her win it was it was yeah it was Marissa Tomé's win took the Oscar away from from yeah and I both agree I remember who else was nominated that year

I don't either, but I both agree and disagree because I think she's amazing. She is. But she's more amazing later. Like other stuff she did and like the wrestler and other things, she's way better in those things. It's not better. It's just, you know, she shows some serious chops or whatever. I just saw it. Before the devil knows you're dead.

Incredible. Yeah. Amazing. She's an incredible. Even that baboon heart movie, what was that called Untamed? Untamed Heart? Oh, I never saw it. With Christian Slater and Rosie Perez.

Oh, so good. What's the premise of that with a baboon heart? what happened um christian slater uh is a is a a guy a drifter that comes into town has a has a heart problem but i think he thinks he has a he was given a baboon heart um and that's what he tells everybody and he you know he starts working in a diner as a dishwasher or something and he befriends rosy prez and rosa tome and and she kind of falls in love with him but he's going to die because he's got this heart problem and i i feel like a movie i should have seen i don't know what i don't think i've seen it the baboon the baboon heartner stars is

what i should be called i assume he never really had one but that wasn't the point of the movie right it was more like right no he really didn't have a a baboon heart yeah um wild the yeah it was a nun lovingly told to him by a nun at the orphanage where he grew up uh lovingly told to him think of that yes yeah and he doesn't want to he doesn't want to get the the transplant with a you know a new heart to fix the defect that he has in his heart because he's afraid he won't love Marissa Tomey anymore if he gives up his heart. Oh, because the heart's where the love comes from in his mind.

Yeah. This sounds like a weird movie. It's a really sweet movie. Oh, my God, it's such a, it doesn't have a great. Let's see, 59 out of 100 on Metacritic, but 58% on Rotten Tomatoes. But it's really sweet. And Tomey's good, isn't it?

It's worth seeing, yeah, and this might be, this might be the first, it's the first Marissa Tomei movie that I ever remember saying obviously she was in the soap opera before oh it's just prior to Vinnie then way prior to Vinny

I think gosh now that I say that let's see here BV we call it before Vinny before Vinny it's pre-VViny yeah AV for after Vinnie 1992 was Vinnie and Vinny was 93

92 for Vinny oh same year no I'm saying the viny was 92 I'm looking for I'm looking for untamed heart gotcha gotcha let's see oh no it was after your untamed heart was after 1994 so after she won the Oscar in 1993 then the next year she did Charlie Chaplin and untamed heart yeah same year as Shawshank Redemption that year and Forrest Gump brings us bright back full circle exactly look at that look at that look at that recap that's cool though Elvis and Forrest Gump had no idea you know I like

Kurt Russell a lot but I didn't know he had this little weird credit and now if I ever get to ask that trivia question I will not get that wrong I'll get it right so take that world Brian we got more information about bush fish bush fish Bush fish that's right nothing to do with the presidency of either Bush senior or junior nothing to do with fish in general just had to do with a fish I found out of Bush one day walking the dog we had assumed it was birds, right? Somebody dropped her thing. So here's one from Scooby Dad in the Tadpool. He says this. Hey, guys, regarding the fish bush, I was yelling Osprey into the radio as I listen to you.

The radio. I love it. Let's see. The next day, I was covering a school crossing for one of my guards when a bald eagle flew over and dropped a fish in a nearby bush. The kids waiting to cross must have thought, I lost it. I was laughing so hard, says Scooby Dad. yeah you had the exact you saw the exact thing that's amazing except i think he witnessed it actually fall you know saw the bird yeah he actually saw it come down which is amazing like the timing perfect timing for that lucky bastard i didn't get to see it fantastic yeah now you have a you have a full story and source to tell people whereas all i had was a fish and a bush which made no sense to me at the time but i think this i think this reinforces my uh my belief as to where it came from

so nice job i think so that seems to make the most sense yeah. We also got a text to who said, so this is, I don't believe this personally, but let's just talk about it. Oh, I saw this on the news. Yeah. Yeah, this came up in a few places. He sent this over. He says, so, okay, this is according to

ABC4.com, which is here in Salt Lake City, it's a news article. Where is the best restroom in the United States? So the entirety of the continental United States and beyond, where's the best restroom? It claims it's a Utah gas station. Specifically,

a Maverick, which are everywhere here. Right. Formerly the Come and Go, but now Maverick. Yeah, they bought Come and Go. They bought Circle K here, and they bought... Anyway, Maverick just spreads like a disease. They're everywhere. Yeah. It says here, Maverick often advertises itself as the adventurer's first stop or adventurer's first stop, but now

it can say it's home to America's Best Restroom. This one in Salt Lake City won the 23rd annual best restroom contest, a yearly contest put on by Sintas Corporation, which offers restroom restocking supplies, among other cleaning products. I think I've seen that name on like a towel dispenser, I think. Yeah, Sintas, for whatever reason, I only think of them as uniforms. Like, yeah, like you said, like... Oh, like worker stuff.

Like clean, like janitorial custodial uniforms and things, yeah. All right. Or at least there are trucks that I see drive around here have pictures of people wearing uniforms. And so I always assumed it was uniforms. I think it's just the fact that they're custodial suppliers, and they're not just going to have a picture of toilet paper. Yeah, it'll be boring, right? Nobody wants that on their advertising. All right.

So Maverick submission photos featured at sparkling fixtures, spacious stalls, and fresh amenities. They have 500 stores, 13 Western States. The winning location can be found at 279 South, 5600 West. I might go there just for funds. I was going to say, you've got to go there now. Yeah. Because this sounds like this, the way. this contest worked was

photos. People submitted photos, yeah. Well, okay, so here's my main beef. Yeah, yeah. You can't tell. You can't tell what it smells like. How's the music in there? Are the towels plentiful? Is your soap dispenser leaky? Like, there's a bunch of questions

I would have that a photo is not going to answer. So, I don't, you got to go in. You got to, like, walk around in there. You got to take a dump, you know? Yeah, yeah. I, I still say the best bathroom is the one in uh still in westgate hotel in las Vegas formerly the star trick experience area but now it's a time share rental place but they

haven't they haven't taken this part out you go and you pee in the urinals and a little display tells you what your um what your calorie count is what your alcohol level is it's all made up obviously but it bloop bloop bloop like like you would really have on the enterprise kind of thing that's so awesome dude deep space nine i wish they'd have that and grown that that would have been great i know it's so it just it's the only thing that drew people to the westgate like i'm sure as soon as they got rid of that or as soon as it they came out people are like well no reason to go to the west gate anymore yeah west gate was for for comdex people yes or yeah it's las Vegas helton but the the use case is like okay we're having comdex so everybody's here for comdex or

later cES and then star trek what else do you go there for no other reason if you're going to a conference great if you're i mean it's not even it's not even it's not even the nicest inexpensive hotel on the strip and it's not even on the strip you have to do like if you want to go to the strip you have to do the monorail to get to the strip or else you're walking for about 20 minutes to get to the strip and and the part of the strip you're getting to is the north part which is nothing up there except for um the new uh fonton blue um oh right but everything else is further south so yeah it's um it's they probably would give us a really good deal. If we wanted to move TMS Vegas to the Las Vegas Hilton, you know, everybody just

as part of their ticket purchase gets a monorail ticket as well, a three-day monorail ticket. And wouldn't we want to go to the strip? We just go to the strip on the monorail. It doesn't sound that bad, actually. It sounds all right. It doesn't sound that bad. And the restaurants there are pretty good. But there are nothing that would pull you to the Las Vegas or the West gate for no other reason. No, that, yeah, you just live and sleep there. That's it. Yeah. Here's the key.

Would they give us a ballroom big enough to seat everybody so that J.K. Grammer and Sarah don't have to watch TMS Vegas live on a little TV above the bar? That's the key right there. No, that's the only question as far as I'm concerned. That's really the only question. That is the only thing that's making me hesitant about the plaza is that it would be nice to have it at a place where we'd have a ballroom big enough for that, as opposed to staying at the plaza and then everybody having to Uber or. or get rides to another place.

That's the nice thing about the bar, or the, what's called? The Sand Dollar. Sand Dollar. That's the great thing about that. It's just right there. Bam. It's just right there in the place. If we just had fewer of you who enjoyed us enough to come to Vegas and watch us live,

then it'd be perfect. Yeah. Can we just whittle it down a little bit? Can you people stop liking us so much? Hey, Brian, let me give you some top 10 finalists here for the cleanest bathrooms in America. Okay. Hop shops in Kentucky. Indiana Caverns in, you guessed it, Indiana.

Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium in Missouri. That's good to know. Lambeau Field in Wisconsin. That blows my mind. Really? At a sports arena, best restroom. I never seen one in my life that wasn't disgusting. So that's actually, that's actually blowing my mind.

The giant trough is polished marble. Oh, yeah, dude. You're peeing in style in Lambeau Field. Mad in Texas. I don't know what MAD all in caps in Texas. Texas is. It looks like the magazine, but I don't know what that is. Museum of Art and Design or something. Oh, might be. I don't know.

Might be. Max Millian Motorship in Washington State. Morning glory in California. Hey, hey, hey. That bathroom even has a morning glory hole. That's right. Which is really nice. That's right.

This one I've been to, Natchez Trace State Park Visitor Center in Tennessee. I went there one time. I don't think I used the bathroom, but I've been to the center. And thrown restrooms. in Maryland, according to Cintus. This is, let's see, they win a CENTIS cleaning service and $2,500 for winning.

So good job, guys. I'm going there. I'll check it out. I'll report back. And if it's gross. Yeah, please do. If it's gross, I'm telling you, if somebody draped a turd over the seat,

I'm telling you. I'm letting you know. Okay. The best. I remember it wasn't the news. Well, it was weekend update on SNL that had the Utah gas station has the best best basketball.

This according to gay sex monthly. That's perfect. Nice job. Michael Chee joke, yeah. So there's two restaurants or there's two restrooms I would give my best experiences. And one's in Utah and ones in Las Vegas. My one in Utah is at the Grand America. It's a five-star hotel here in Salt Lakes where all of anyone who comes to town who's fancy, they stay there.

And it is, those bathrooms are amazing, amazing bathrooms. those should win. Maybe they didn't enter the contest because they're a highfalutin five-star hotel and they don't give a shit, but whatever. And then in Vegas, it was that restaurant that Barry took us to at the Fountain Blue. Oh, yeah. And that might just be because it's new. I don't know.

Like maybe it's gross later, but it was nice. No, now that you say that, that one was really nice. And then in MGM Grand in their dining, their hallway that goes down towards the pool. uh yeah whatever they call that restaurant row or whatever it is the first restaurant one of the first restaurants you come to on the right side oh no i'm sorry this mandalay bay in their restaurant row because they look they look very similar um there's a japanese restaurant on the right side as you're heading down the hallway and their bathrooms are all individual little pods like little japanese pods and they've got little TVs in them and they've got bidets built in and it's like

that's the that place is the bomb i am going there in May, or whenever we do this, April. Yeah, for sure. I didn't know that. I know the restaurant even. I avoid public bathrooms most of the time. Well, sure. If I don't need it, I'm not going.

But that's awesome. I want a little Japanese pod. Your own little self-contained pod. You can fart. You can do whatever you want. Nobody, we're miles away from there where anybody can hear you. What's on the TV? What do you watch in there?

Can you choose? When I went in there, it was some weird Japanese, like, faces in the corners watching somebody tie a shoelace or something and they're all like, oh, the audience is laughing, they're putting words up or a Japanese characters up on screen and, you know,

those weird reality shows from Japan. I'm glad it wasn't closed circuit television broadcast somebody down. It was one of the other bathrooms. Somebody down here looking up at a hole and sure what they're looking at. That would go ahead. Nobody wants that in their life.

All right, Brian, before we do the news, you have something to tell me not to see here. Yeah, tomorrow we're going to have recommendals. Yeah. Usually things we like, right? Stuff we like tomorrow is what we're doing. Stuff we like. Heck, hence the name, heck, heck the recommendals.

Hence the name recommendals. We're recommending these with our minds, which is why the mental. I don't know. I don't know where it came from either. I don't know where it came from either. But after nomination, at the last Emmys and some word of mouth and the fact that it's on Apple TV Plus and

so far Apple TV Plus has been pretty spot on with really good stuff decided to watch Palm Royale we love Kristen Whig we love Allison Janney we love who's Leslie Bibb we love her you know how did you know it was her and not the other one that looks like Leslie only because the screen at the front screen of screen out I told us. Good. The opening credits told us, and we knew it wasn't Maggie Grace.

Oh, good. Boy, not so good. Really? That bums me out. We made it through three episodes, and here's what we didn't like about it, was the, there were no likable characters.

Laura Dern's character was probably the only one who was somewhat likable, but it was, I mean, Kristen Whig's character is, do you remember the Nicole Kidman movie where she's a news reporter that would do anything, I guess it's called to die for. And she's a news reporter who'll do anything to be on TV.

She's just, you know, screw anybody over. And a very, very, very, very unlikable character. I didn't not like her anymore. And a very unlikable character. And that's kind of the Kristen Whig character. She wants to be in this, club, this Palm Royale club resort so bad she will lie and screw people over and do all these things to get into it. And the people that she wants to be around are all hateful, desperate

housewives type horrible people, or I guess more like real housewives type people. Real housewives of. Yeah. Insert city here. It's just like there's nobody in the show that we felt like we could root for or like. And so we made it through. We gave it our three episode test. And at the end of that, Tina and I were like, do you want to keep going? She's like, no. I said, me neither. Yeah. So reviews seem to reflect it, what you're saying, 56% reviewers, a little higher on the people list 68%, but still not great. I mean, that sounds like a rare miss for them because they don't, there's really no crap on Apple TV. Yeah, really is. They pride their Do you think it's just the writing?

Like this might be just the writing or just might be the fact that, you know, if you're going to give us, give us Kristen Wigan, the character, give us somebody to root for, somebody to like, it won't be my recommendal tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure within the next couple weeks I'm going to be recommending, uh, penguin. And yeah, there's a character in there that is the person you're rooting for, and here's spoiler alert, it's not penguin. Yeah, I've heard similar tales. I'm excited to start watching that finally.

God, it is so good. And yeah, definitely do yourself a favor and watch the Batman before you watch it because they, even for their shots inside, Arkham used the rebuildings of the sets. They used the blueprints of the sets from the Batman to create the interiors of Arkham Asylum.

Yeah, it's so funny. I saw a thing that it said, nobody's talking about this, even though people are talking about that show. But he said, Nobody's talking about the fact that Will or not Will Farrell, Colin Farrell in a fat suit in a comic book TV show is low-key giving the best performance in the last five years of any show on television.

Like, that just sounds crazy from a premise standpoint. Really, when you think about it that way, it is absolutely amazing that that's the case. Yeah, that's great. Well, I will not probably be seeing Paul Morial then. I'll take your advice. Yeah, sorry. skip it. I gave up on a horror movie for similar reasons last night, about three quarters of the way through. That's almost like three episodes, but in movie form.

Right. Yeah. And it was all... Do you want to talk about what it is? Yeah, it's about demon possession. It actually reviewed really well, so I thought, well, this seems all right. It's called the Old Ways. And it's on Netflix. It's, I think, considered a... Was it the Old Ways or the Old Ways? The YAS. It came out in 2021. It's a Netflix original or they bought it or whatever. Here's your short version of it. Deep in the Veracruz jungles, American Mexican journalist Christina Lopez

is held captive by a mysterious Brugia or a witch doctor who is convinced she is possessed by a demon. Ultimately, her fight for survival becomes one for her own soul. It's a demon possession thing. They don't really freak me out, but I like a good one.

Freaking exorcist, things like that. And 95% critics, but 40,000, 46% audience. And I was like, well, let's see. Let's just see. Wow, that's a big, I've seen those things with big gaps like that. And I've watched them and probably enjoyed them as many times as I haven't enjoyed them. Yeah, it's weird. I expected to enjoy it, to be honest, because I usually side somewhat on the critic side, because I'm a more critical watcher. And just because a bunch of audience people would, yeah, it's good. You guys suck. Or it's bad. Or the same reason

it's bad, right? I hate that. They game the audience scores, is what I'm getting at. So I thought I was going to like it. It starts really strong. The actors are fine, but about three quarters the way through it, I went, this is going nowhere. This is really going nowhere. It's just not interesting. I was getting bored, so I got out. So I'm not saying you're going to hate it, but the old ways didn't work for me. And this was last night. So that's, that's, you know, to not, to not even make it to say, all right, well, I'm not enjoying this, but I do want to see how it wraps up. So to not even make it that far, dude. That's the trick, right? If the movie's good enough to want you to say, well, I'm having trouble with a lot of this, but at least I want to see how they solve this.

It just didn't give me any motivation to do that. And I'm not used to that. Most movies do and even bad movies do, but this did not. This gave you no, I don't know, it's not like if this is a theater, it's not the kind of movie you walk out of. It's not that. So it's not like Johnny Neumonic. It's not like Johnny Neumonic. It'll always come back to Johnny Neumonic. But for me, it was like just, eh, there's so much more to watch. Why am I, why am I doing this? So I got out. And I started the, but then it was late, and I started the Pope's Exorcist with a gladiator.

What's his name? Russell Crow. And I only got about a quarter of the way through because I was getting very tired and I had to go to sleep. So I will finish that one. That was already more fun, maybe a little less serious, but it was a good time. And Russell Crow kind of demand your attention a little bit on screen. So we'll see if that becomes a recommendal or not. but so far I'm enjoying it.

I saw that his road rage movie is streaming again. Yeah, it's in the top 10 on Netflix or something right now. Yeah, yeah. So it's like, oh, do I want to watch that now? I saw it. And then I think I recommended it, but I had caveats about, talk about a movie where you like a bad guy that you can kind of relate to and not root for,

But I don't know. You're glad Jason's chasing you with a machete, right? Because that's the trope, and it's fun. But a guy who's easily provoked to road rage and is a terrible human being, it's just a little too close to real. That's why I didn't like that. Yeah, that's probably a really good, it would be very triggering right now because it feels like everybody is like this on the roads right now.

Yeah. And it came out like right in the middle of the ugly. part of the pandemic and I don't know I have some nasty taste in my mouth from that movie but I also thought it was good so you might check it out see what you think

Russell Crow's really good at it he's amazing in it good I imagine so he's he's been really good and everything lately that even that comedy thing he did with Farrell no who was he with the other guys was it Walberg oh did he do a thing with Walberg

it was like a buddy cop oh no you're thinking of I think you're thinking of the good guys. The good guys. Two years ago, that was with him and everyone's heartthrob. Ryan Reynolds? Nope, the other one. The one that was in Barbie played Ken.

Steve Bishemi. Nope. Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling. I love that you went from Steve Bouchemmy and Brian Gowell. I just wanted to see like you throw you off with, oh yeah, Steve Boucherbe, everybody's heartthrob. There was a canyon of difference between

those two men. I respect and like them both, but man, there's a difference. But yeah, Ryan Gosling was in that. The good guys was great. If you've never seen that. It was really good, yeah. It's really good chat. You guys should watch it.

And I think that's streaming somewhere, too. Oh, yeah. Farrell was in the other guys. And Farrell and Walberg, right, were in the other guys? I think so. They were cops. Yeah. Yeah.

And then they did it again, but then there were dads or something. Oh, right. The father's home. Daddy's home. Daddy's home and two, one and two, or whatever. Two was the one with the wall. I can't remember. I can't bring myself to see those.

I don't know why. The nice guys. The nice guys. Okay, yes. Oh, do we got that wrong? Thank you, TV's Travis. Yeah. What did we say?

The wrong guys? We are Stettler and Baldorf. Let's just, you know. I know, I really like that fuzzy bear. He's a very funny comedian. Oh, oh, ho, ho. You know what's great about Statler and Baldorf is that it also has our initials. So it's S&B.

I know. It works out really well. Yeah, it really paid off. All right. Let's get to some news, everybody. You want to hear what's going on in the world? We got you covered. So here you go. Time for the news brought to you by. TRPWNR chat read eight different Victorian-era books and chronicled the experience on his YouTube channel.

Go check out Tim's work at YouTube.com slash at Tim's Too Many Books and see if 1800s were more than meets the eye. It's funny that we both thought to do the sound of the transforming. That's great. Well, more than meets the eye is it automatically triggers. Yeah, triggers that's all you have to say. You could even just say, meet my eye, and I'd go, weepo, brip, right, right, right, bra, right, bra, yeah.

Yeah, no, I saw this in our Discord, and I went and watched it. It's great. He's, I didn't know, I didn't know Tim was like some big time reader guy and had all these classics in him. I had no idea. So TRPW, thank you for that. A, I didn't know that. And B, I didn't know he was English. I know. That's so cool. I didn't know that either. Wow. Okay. No idea. I'm learning things every day about you people. You people. Thank you, Tim. Is he even here?

Yeah, he is. Tim Watson. Okay, good. There he is. The chat. Yeah. Hackers. You know, they're always up to something. These hackers. Well, check this out. They took over RoboVax to chase pets and yell slurs. Awesome. So your Roomba is sitting there, like, terrorizing the cat and shouting expletive. Fantastic. Yep, shouting N-words and chasing your cat. Someone gained access to Echo Vax D-Bot X2 Omni-Robotic Vacuums across several U.S. cities, this was earlier this year, and use them to chase pets and yell racist slurs at their owners, according to ABC News in Australia. The outlet spoke with multiple D-Bot X2 owners to say their D-Bot X2. who's had been hacked in May, including Minnesota lawyer Daniel Swenson, who said he was watching TV with his family when a noise like a broken-up radio signal or something,

as this quote, started coming from the robot speaker. He said after we reset the password and rebooted the robot, reboated the re-bought. Reboated the re-bought. It began again. Only this time the sound was clearly a voice. He guessed a teenager, yelling slurs. I love the term slur. It's great.

Slurs. Yeah, yeah, totally. That's a great word. Put your slurs. Your slurs, robots are back. Do you have one of these, by the way, like a little iBot? I have a Roomba. Yeah, we actually have two.

I have one that is a carpet thing down here in the basement that does my, the shy carpeting. And then we have one upstairs that does the hardwood floor. That's really nice. I've always thought about it. Both made by Roomba. They are Roombas, okay. Because Roomba's the brand. We're not getting any T-Mu, D-Bot X2, EcoVax bullshit.

That's like it, you know. Rumbas are the brand you think of. It's like clean-based. X that's the standard right but I know there are others there are other good ones I just don't know what they are yeah I'm sure they're out there uh in fact I'll bet the one of those ones that everyone thinks are great vacuums and they're kind of overrated but oh dyson dyson there's probably a dyson robot vacuum do make an automatic yeah they might they might um anyway what was my point oh so here's some other accounts this is great uh ABC says similar accounts from other owners in

El Paso and Los Angeles, the latter of which involves someone using a debot to antagonize the dog, yelling at it, and chasing it. Get out of here, you stupid dog. I don't know what you can say. I'm coming to get you, Rover. I don't know why we don't have one of these. Why shouldn't I get one? I'm not saying I want one of these that are easily hackable.

Well, yeah, don't get a debot. I guess I've always been skeptical about them, not the hacking part, but the effectiveness. this and I'm like do I really want to do this but I you know obviously we have lots of reviews and people like you could tell me if it works and I don't know why I haven't done it I don't know it's it's it's one that um oh funny Robert Hinnett says funny how scott and brian have mentally standardized on rumba when rumba's are among the worst products on the market it's funny it does mine does really well for us so it's maybe there are better ones out there but I'm also an early adopter this one this is before rumba started having like a a station where

they would automatically go back to to recharge. This one will just stop. This one is maybe about 10 years old, 12 years old or something. Early one, sure. Yeah. Has ever tumble downstairs or anything weird like that? No, but I'm in the basement. Oh, right, right.

Yeah. I know there are things you can get, like little boxes. You can put with electric eye or something. It'll keep it from doing it. But, yeah, I'm sure there are better ones. And I'm sure, and I know there are much newer ones that are probably better in different brands. but this is one when there were very few other choices on the market, and this one does just fine for me, amazingly still after all these years.

They won the brand fight, which is what we're getting at. It's not that there aren't better ones. It's just that when you think of these things, you say Roomba almost as a standard dancer. You're not even thinking of the brand. You're just thinking, oh, they have a Roomba in their house. Could be any number of auto vacuums. I saw during the parade this last weekend, there were people on inline skates, but we were all calling

rollerblades. Oh, look at the people on rollerblades. It's all glowing. They've got like EM wire in their roller blades. It's really cool. But yeah, rollerblades is a brand and there are other brands of inline skates. I never say inline skates either. I always say rollerblades. Yeah, rollerblades. Sure. Because that's what we did

when we grew up. That was the brand we had. We called them that. Now they have to defend their trademark like crazy because everybody just default calls them that. We had a whole conversation about this, didn't we? About Kleenex a Band-A. We talked about. about Kleenex and Band-Aid, Frisbee, Band-Aid.

What else was there? No, anyway, there's a lot of these. And Roomba, I would say, is one of those. Yeah. So, Chad, if you're so smart about these, somebody give me some recommendations on brand because maybe I'll go looking. I don't know.

I'd love to have something clean in my... Somebody suggested Ufi makes a really good one. Ufi? Uffi. Uffi. Ufee. Ufee. Best auto vacuums.

Let's just see what, Let's see what wirecutter says. There you go. I trust them. I trust wire cutter. Okay. Four, let's see. Uh, oh.

Did they do one about the little auto ones? I got all kinds of vacuum reviews. It's all just like normal vacuums. Let's see. What do you call those? A robot vacuum maybe? Robot, there you go. That's probably a better term.

Here we go. Wirecutter says, Ufi is their top Oh no, I'm sorry, Robo Rock Q5 Max Plus Robo Rock! Robo Rock! Ready! That one's 300 bucks on Amazon.

That's the one they think is the best. It empties itself, charges itself to the best. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's another base. Wow. And then Ufi is the brand they give you for budget pick, which is the RoboVac 11S. Max, an unassuming but mighty robot, they say.

250. So it's only 50 bucks less. I don't know. Yeah, I think you're not. I would go for 50 bucks difference because it's on sale right now for 150 less. So I would I would go with a Robo Rock, Robo Rock, Q5 Max Plus. And what is the word, what would the word be? Because if Scooby says Robo Rock, he's saying it wrong.

So what would it be? Well, he puts an R in front of everything. It's Raggy? Yeah. Okay, Roma. Right. So he keeps the R for Robo. That makes sense.

Yeah. Rock could be walk. It could be chalk. It'll be an R. It's still because he. It's not that he gets words wrong. It's just that his beginning syllables are always ours. Yeah, but what's the, what is the word, it's rock?

Either way it's rock. Yeah, either way it's rock. Either way it's robo and rock. Robo rock. Because maybe it's a, because if it was a robotic walk, if it was a hobo hawk, he would still call it Robo rock. Yeah, that was actually getting to, is that you'd never, what if it was a robotic walk, like at a Chinese restaurant and had robot capabilities?

He would also say, Robo walk, rock. He's what's great about that stupid dog. He'll say that no matter what you do, jackass. Oh my God, the killer is either, it's either Randy or Sandy. It's Randy. It's Randy. Who is it?

Who is it? Scooby, is it Randy or Sandy? Yeah. It's Randy. Meanwhile, Sandy's run around and sliced your neck open with a knife. Exactly. Because we're waiting for the dog to get the shit straight. A little dumb-ass dog. All right, this is cheaper than it even set on the site.

It's down to $299.99. that's not bad it's one penny less on Amazon right now that's true oh yes it's three yeah no I thought it's 300 oh you're right 300 yeah yeah well I'm putting it on the wish list because I I've been wanting to do this for years

and I just always been checking about it so we'll see I don't know why it's interesting it's showing up as 44998 for me on I clicked the link from wirecutter did you go did you just go search for Robo Rock yeah no I clicked the link and it says So there's the duo roller, the Q at max plus, and the Q plus. The QMAX plus says $299.99.

The Q5 plus, not with the max on it, says $350,99. Interesting. Yeah, I'm seeing $4.49.98. Here, I'll give you my link. Maybe they're different. That's weird, though. It shouldn't be different. But I do see, yeah, the different choices on the bottom.

The dual roller 299, Q5 max. Yeah. I have the right one selected unless my browser's freaking out. Q5 plus 359. I think we are seeing the same thing, but the I think the link went to the Q5 Max Plus, because that is what wirecutters recommending. Oh, weird, okay.

Yeah. Duo roller? What do you think that means? It's got two things that roll to pick up, two rollers that pick up dust and dirt and stuff. So for the same price. As opposed to the single roller for a... Same price seems like that'd be the better one to get, right?

You get the two rolling. Yeah, I don't know what they, let's see, Because the self-empting dock, does that one have that? Nope, looks like the dual roller doesn't have the self-empting dock, I guess. Oh, well, I want that. And upstairs, it's all hard floor, so this shouldn't have any issues. That's where we'd want it. Yeah, this is where, usually they've got a really cool, like, little chart that shows you.

Oh, this model has this. Oh, actually, here it is. They do have that. They all have LIDAR navigation and Slam. 5,500 PA suction, dual brushes. Sweet. 240 minutes of max running time. This is the best content, by the way.

Oh, it's great. This is good. Self-empting bag, the Q5 max plus is 2.5 liters times two. The self-empting bag and the dualer is 2.5 liters times one. It seems like, yeah. So that really is the only difference. Everything else, everything else. everything else is the same.

I would go with the dual roller for $2.99. Yeah, if it's not like missing any major feature, only has plus features, then... Right. And it works with your A-L-E-X-A so you can say, ask Robo-Rock to start cleaning. Ask Robo-Rock to start emptying. This claims it's...

Let's see. It claims it's 50% off for the mid-one. It's claiming it's 33% off for the dual-roller. That can't be the... These are all shit, aren't they, when they say this? 50% off. Yeah. There's no way this is $600 normally.

Right. I do love Joe Guy Art. Watching too many shop for vacuums was not on my Tuesday bingo card. Look, this is what you get when you come here. You never know what you're going to have. I'm seriously tempted. Listen, on Howard Stern, they were just talking about a crank call for hours with Liam Neeson. So whatever.

Yeah. Yeah, think of that. I actually had one of the staffer's moms. fooled for a year. They weren't doing the fooling, but she was getting catfished by a guy who sounded like Liam Neeson who was conning her out of

oh no, I guess they were just conning her and telling her now, I'm stuck in the Sudan right now, but if you could please meet me at the airport with your birth certificate, your social security number. Did she fall for it? She fell for this? She fell for it.

She totally believed it was Liam Neeson. Gosh, dang, dude. wait that's called catfishing I thought that was when it was like a hot girl I think doesn't that always apply I guess you can be catfish they're Liam fished how's that I think it's just fished just celebrity scam

I think it's just fishing right because catfishing you gotta have a hot lady cat has to be a hot lady I guess I could be a hot dude I don't know it doesn't have to be and you know what Liam Neeson's kind of a hot and Liam Neeson is dude yeah I look at him and I go I hope I'm that handsome at his age

but it's but apparently this Liam Neeson thing is widespread red. It's not just them pranking Wolfie's mom. Apparently there is a whole thing now of people impersonating Liam Neeson and taking people's money. That's really

weird. That's really weird. All right. Well, Liam Neeson didn't have that on my bingo card. Sorry, Liam Neeson. Yeah, sorry, buddy. You got a special set of skills. We respect. We're going to take a break when we come back from this break. Bill Duran will be here. He's working on a very rad project. We're going to get to get a very early

look at it and it's coming together very nicely. I'm very excited about that. So stick around for Bill and making things after this song selection that Brian has procured. I was so excited about all the things that I was talking about that I didn't have time to pull up my notes on the song

that we're playing, but I'm doing that right now. This is actually, this is a band that you guys all know. You all know this band and you love them. They're a band called Authority Zero. They are just coming out with a brand new um uh like anthology collection it's like a greatest hits kind of thing but i think it's bigger than that bigger than a typical um oh wow greatest hits uh and this is the bonus single that's on the

album uh or the new ep i should say 30 years speaking to the youth which comes out november 1st this is the brand new single from authority zero it's called long way to go I keep saying to myself, it's all okay. I keep saying to myself, you're just a heartbeat and a breath away. Keep saying to myself, there's got to be another way. Well, okay. Just keep telling yourself that, Because it won't just go away

I keep saying to myself I've seen this place Not a moment passing by That I don't get carried away I keep saying to myself They'll all regret those hateful things They say, well, okay Keep telling yourself that

We've got a long way to go It won't just go away We've got a long way to go Every step backwards we take Wait and see You and me These paper wings keep burning We've got a long way to go

And I fear that this is just the beginning Yeah, it's just the beginning Like a razor blade that slices through the skin. Like a song that brings you to your knees. Time and time and time again. There's nothing left to talk about. There's nothing left to say, well, okay. Just keep telling yourself, it'll all just go away.

We've got a long way to go. It won't just go away You've got a long way to go Every step backwards we take Wait and see you and me These paper wings keep burning We've got a long way to go And I fear that this is just the beginning

I know I'm never looking back at a I know I'm never looking back and I won't let go It's not no strange, it's no surprise, it's getting old There's a man too deep and it's sinking sand It's the last light back to the start again Never going back, never going back, no, never going back again I keep saying to myself it's all okay

I keep saying to myself it's just a A heartbeat and a breath away I keep saying to myself There's got to be another way Well, okay Keep telling yourself there We've got a long way to go It won't just go away

We've got a long way to go Every step out words we take Wait and see You and me These paintball wings keep burning We've got a long way to go And I fear that this is just Just the beginning, just the beginning, yeah.

Just the beginning, yeah. This is a sandwich for forks, an open face creation, in other words, with a cheese, milk, and tuna fish mixture on top. with the Catholics. And we returned. Who is that one more time? Authority Zero. A brand new EP coming out from them at the beginning of November. It's called 30 Years Speaking to the Youth.

They're currently on tour with Mad Caddies and Belvedere. That is the first single, or that is the single from the album. It is called Long Way to Go. Nice. Hey, do you ever have a song, sorry, not a song, but an album that you've heard so many times that you almost know it back and forth, but there's like two or two tracks at the end that you never get to.

And then when you do hear them, you're like, oh, it's like new music from these guys. It's like, yeah, there probably is. I can't think of one, but it's, but it's, I know those albums so well that when I hear one of them, like on Sirius or in Shuffle or something like that, I always expect the next song to come up. Angels want to wear my red shoes by Elvis Costel, whatever that is. That's Armed Forces does that for me,

where I can hear that album, and I automatically hear the next song. That happened with me today with American Idiot. There's two tracks at the end that I just never quite get to because it's such a long. It's not that they're bad songs. It's just a long album, and I just hardly ever get to him.

So I heard him and went, oh, is this new? And I'm like, no, dumbass. It's 20 years old. Anyway. You wake up when September ends And you turn off the album And you don't get to those last two songs That's about, that's actually about right

That's the song I think of is the ending And it kind of fits as an ending, right? It's sort of a good ending. It totally fits as an ending. All right, well check this out, everybody. Get your hands together. Lost this thing, there it is. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill?

Oh, check it out. It's Bill Duran joining us as he does once a month, or twice a month, rather. No, it's about once a month. Whatever it is. To talk about cool stuff he's making, He is a maker about town. Makes cool shit all the time.

And he's in the middle of something really rad. I'll let him explain it in the second. But Bill, before that, welcome back to the show. Hello, happy to be here, friends. Hi. We're happy to have you. Yeah. Always good to have you.

Oh, Brian, you should tell him about your joystick thing first. This is pretty cool. If you scroll up in our chat, I don't know if you're on your phone or if you're on a desktop where you can scroll up. There is a, it's called the OpenCade, and it is a 3D printed modular, like you just walk up to it,

HDMI TV, plug this guy in, and it's got all your games already built into it, and joystick and buttons and that sort of thing. Oh, that's so cool. Currently printing one of those guys, and so here's the base unit. But mine is going to have the joystick and buttons you see there, and then another panel to the left where you've got a track ball and a spinner, so I can play every game. Yeah. That's crazy. Cool. I love that.

The buttons light up, and there are two things you need to do. either need to jump or fire. Yeah, jump or fire. Only two things you need to do, jump and fire. Yeah, those were the days, man. The 80s kept it easy. We knew exactly what they're doing those games. Well, that's awesome.

So, Bill, tell us what you brought. I'm pretty giddy about this, so I'll let you do it before I spill the beans. We have kicked off a series, actually, over on our YouTube channel. We're doing a long-term projects. It's going to take a while to finish this thing, so we're cutting it up into bits, putting out videos every week. So there's a scene from Futurama from season one, episode seven, where Bender realizes his body is made of 40% titanium. And titanium is worth a lot.

So he sells his body. And there's one scene where he drives his head around in a little car. It's less than a minute long, and he crashes the car immediately. So it doesn't stick around. But that's stuck with me for over 20 years, that scene. I'm like, I got to make, I got to make Bender's head driving around in, like, a little car. So I'm doing it. Yeah. Yeah. I love this so much. Here, I'll put the video in our Discord that Bill sent me and I'm also showing it off on the, uh, on the stream. Oh yeah. Oh, look at

that. Oh my God. This is awesome. So this little guy. So at this stage, it feels like your car is nearly done and you've kind of mocked up his head. Obviously, this is not his final head. Yeah, it's cardboard. Is that just a little cardboard head? Uh-huh. Yeah. That's awesome. So we, we started there. I wanted to, uh, The head will eventually be animatronic so that he can talk and turn and look at people and emote. Well, his teeth separate to talk? We're trying to figure out exactly how we're going to do that. I think a screen, an animated screen. Yeah.

The horizontal lines on his mouth move. We've been re-watching this show. I've been, well, researching how it is. Sure. Sure. So I think a screen or a grid of small LEDs might be. be the best way to animate is now. That's a good way to do it. Yeah. Yeah. That would do it. I think he opens it to drink beer. Right. I'm not sure if you're actually going to open or not.

He'll have a single tooth open to have fire shootout. There are a lot of options. We want to try include as many features as possible, but talking. Yeah, how far you want to go with this thing. Yeah. Exactly. So cool. So those are all the plans. I want the eyes and the eyelids to move so we can look all angry. And I want those to be animatronic. I want those to move. We'll see how that goes. I have some ideas how we're going to figure that out. We're not quite there yet. So far, it's been mostly the car body that we've been working on. So it's built on an RC car. I bought a used one-sixth scale RC car, which is actually quite big, compared to like a 110th scale that I'm used to. But that had to shorten it. Of course,

we have a video on all of this. First thing I did with my my $300 new boy car was to cut it in half in a bandsaw. Always your first step number one. Always cut it with a bandsaw. Exactly. We removed about six inches to make it a little shorter and get the proportions correct for bender. And then the body on it there, it's bright orange because that's the color of filament that I had. It's a PETG. It will eventually be painted.

But the body, I 3D modeled. I actually 3D scanned the RC car to put into Fusion 360 to use as a reference to build it around, which worked really well. and then of course I 3D printed all the body panels it's quite big I had to cut it into eight smaller parts and then glue them all together and then there's seams between all those parts and I used a 3D printing pen to fill in the seams which also worked quite well I've always wondered about that how do you keep it for I guess you have to still do some sanding though when you're done right oh there will be lots of sanding yeah don't you worry that makes sense so these are this is a scene you work with the shell and the tires on this car. I mis-estimated how large this. This is a big car. It's a big-ass car.

It's stupid big, yeah. But that's even cooler because now you've got this big-ass head doing big-ass-bender shit. I'm so excited for this. And you've based it on literally, I think that segment, like you said, is seconds long. It's not that long. Is there any plan to show this, get it somehow to John Amagio? and have him record stuff, voice work for the... Yeah, that would be really cool.

Well, I'll tell you what, I'm definitely going to try and bring it to Dragon Con next year. So if he's a Dragon Con next year, then that would be a no-brainer. He's scheduled for Emerald City, I think. Isn't he? That would make it easy. I'll definitely bring it to Emerald City. Yeah, you could definitely do that.

That would be great. You know that dude would love to see shit like that. You totally would. And, you know, you could easily like, hey, any chance I could get you to record a few phrases for this thing? That would be so good. Yeah, right? And you can take some of that already recorded there so he can hear himself go, you know,

bite my shining metal ass as he drives away. Oh, yeah. Exactly. Amazing. So, yeah, we have plans. Like I said, I'm rewatching the show. I'm capturing audio and video because I want to animate his face correctly.

I've got big plans. You think he's going to do anything with his antenna? You're going to have it go up or down or do anything weird? Because he's always doing weird stuff with his antenna. It will definitely be removable, so it doesn't break off. It seems like something, but prone to catching on things as he's driving around

I don't know if it'll be animated or not once we have our needs like animating his eyes and mouth then we'll start talking about wants and figuring out how much the room we have in there right you got to get the needs first and then start working on the ones

yeah because we got to have a speaker in there so we can hear him and again I don't know how we're going to do the mouth we thought maybe putting a tiny little projector in there but I don't know if that that would work. So we'll see. We still have still a lot of unknowns. Oh, like a little

like a rear screen projector, like it'd be behind his mouth obviously and it would project into it. Oh, that's such a cool idea. Right. Yeah. So we're in this in the brainstorming phase and there's no I know bad ideas so we're really having fun with that. And this is a battery battery powered car right? Not not yeah. Battery powered. Okay. I know some of those are gas and stuff. So he uh, uh, the tires. So the video we just did was on the tires and I'm super proud of how they turned out. I am 3D modeled everything and I printed the tires and made a mold of them. And then the wheel, the smaller, you'll see in the video there, the orange part of the wheel, that is 3D printed. So I 3D printed four wheels. They go in the

mold and then rubber gets cast around them to make the tire around the wheel. So those are urethane cast tires are super durable they look really really sharp uh and they turn out great i'm just eye in the video i'm really pumped it's really cool man what a great what a great idea to take such an obscure thing there is a bit of a following for this though i've noticed um there's a lot of memes about him being in that car which is hilarious to me because again it's like five seconds it's like nothing yeah oh yeah left an impression on a lot of people you included it did and i uh i don't think I've seen anyone else make it. Yeah, I haven't found anything like it except some screencaps of the actual car.

Someone drew it or something. But I think you're going to corner the market on this one. See, in that picture, he's leaning back a little bit too. So I may either permanently lean him back or make it so that he can lean back a little bit. Like when it goes forward, you would have like momentum where his head goes back a little when he's... Yeah, or when he turns to talk to someone, he like leans back and looks up. I want to be able to do all that if I can. Yeah.

Oh, my God. Dude, this might be my, I mean, I'm biased, but it might be one of my favorite things you've ever done. I love it. Yeah, it's way up there. It's way way up there. And that show is great, so having a rewatch that is never a problem. So that's awesome. I got to talk to my twin brother.

He is the coach for his high school's robotics team. So he's going to help me animate his face and everything. Oh, nice. Program all that. Yeah. Finally, the Voltron Duran brothers, we need him. We've been waiting for it. Right, exactly.

Very cool. Oh, I found a lamp where they do something interesting with his mouth, but it's just his head, not the car. I think you've cornered this. Nobody else has done this. Good. Yeah. Always great when you can come up with something like this and have it be totally original. Yep.

That means tons of watches on YouTube. That means everybody's going to want to see this thing in person. I think you've got a 2025 looking bright for Builder in. Uh-huh. And I'm going to, like, I'm in for the long haul. It's going to take as long as it takes. So expect lots of it. videos on this. This week, I got some headlights and tail lights for the RC car and I've got a spot to build them right into the body. So I think that's what I'm working on this week.

G-E-I-R-Uva wrote in and said, I'm starting my fifth week of mandatory vacation today, since we don't get to hear our favorite Cookie Monster Music on TMS that I'm requesting another band that I really like. Oh, sorry. This is a band called Pendule. and last year they were on the in the Australian Triple J like aversion studios and they recorded this cover of Taylor Swift's anti-hero.

Hi, it's me. I'm the problem. Yes, it's me. Here is anti-hero by pendulum. See you guys tomorrow. I love to stay where I'd get older, but just never wiser, Midnights become my afternoons When my depression wax the grave I shift to love the people I'm ghosted setting in the room I should not be left to my own devices

They come with crisis Invisis, I end up in crisis Herein's own is tired I wake up screaming from dreaming one day dreaming one day I'll watch as you're leaving because you've got tired of my scheming for the last time it's me

I'm the brother miss me and tea tired everybody agrees I'm standing ready at the song but never read the memory must be exhausting all we're putting for the anti-hero We're going to be able to be.

I literally never feel like anyone's a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hell Too big to egg, I've slowly lurched once your favorite city Pairs through the heart but never kill Take you hit my comfort, narcissism, my disguise is altruism like some kind of congressman I wake up screaming from dreaming one day I'll watch as you're leaving

and life will lose all its leading for the last time It's me I'm the brother that is me At tea time everybody agrees I'm starting ready at the song But never end, the never end must be exhausting always
