Starting point is 00:01:20 The complaint states that you slapped her. Oh, no, Your Honor, I punched her, and then I jumped on her and tried to strangle her. You mean you happen to catch your arms around? your opponent's neck in an act of self-defense? Oh, no, Your Honor. I wanted to kill her. Yeah. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the morning stream. As Scott Fletcher so professionally just said, it is Tuesday, November 19, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson. Brian. I'm here also. Hi, Brian.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Well, hi. How are you? Hello. There's no TMS without the two of us, you know? Sometimes we have guest hosts, but it doesn't feel right, you know? It doesn't feel right. And it's always when I'm gone, because when you're gone, we can't do a show because you need the tools there to do the whole streaming thing. I mean, I could probably figure it all out. Probably, yeah, we could probably work it up. That's a lot of work, man. Yeah. So, so I get to listen to somebody sitting in my seat, but you never have the pleasure of listening to me host TMS with somebody else. No. And I think that's probably good. It's probably for the better. I've done it a couple times with core, and it's always weird to hear Bo and John go on their own. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But it's rare. It's rare. Remember, who was it? We had, was it jury and Bill did, like, we were gone for a week. We took a week off and jury and Bill said, hey, could we do TMS for that week that you're gone?
Starting point is 00:02:58 Oh, I forgot. We did that. We did do that. 100% we did that. Yeah, and I can't remember how it all went, but... Did it go well? I can't remember. I think I was in Vegas because I remember listening to one of the episodes while I was in Vegas. Okay. I have very small memory of that. Maybe we'll ask Bill today when he comes on, because he was part of that. Oh, Bill's on today? Great. Awesome. Yeah. He'll remember, I think. Probably. I would assume he'd remember something like that. I would remember that if I were him.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Or maybe we made it up. I don't. know. I don't know. Who knows? Maybe we made it up. It's certainly possible. I don't know. We got a really amazing question to start with from a listener today. I never thought about this before, but occasionally we'll bring up the name of an actor or a beloved celebrity of some sort. And then they'll die soon after and everyone will blame us and say, well, it's because you brought them up. It's, you know, and yeah. And Monica did give us the prerequisite that it's seven days. It's ring rules, basically, is what it is. So if somebody dies after those seven days, It's not on us at all.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Oh, I didn't realize we had a cap. Okay, that's good to know. We had a cap now. As she put it, it's ring rules. Okay. So from now on, keep it to yourselves, everybody, if it's been seven days, okay? Knock it off. But if it's been a day or two, fine, we'll take the heat.
Starting point is 00:04:13 It's all right. We'll take the heat. It's fine. We'll own up to it. Now, here's the funny bit. This guy sends this, this is an anonymous listener. I don't know who it is, but he texted this. And they said, does it count when we mention a company and it dies?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy reporting. they lost $2.2 billion in five years, and this is within the seven-day limit. So technically, our discussion of Spirit Airlines, the one that got shot at over Haiti. Right, exactly. The one that we described, you know, I described flying to Vegas once and only once by shoving all my underwear and toothbrush and comb, or not comb, come on, who am I kidding, and everything I might need into my pockets of my Bobax vest. Uh-oh, bo-backs.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Yeah. But I think when you're talking about a company that is dying, I don't think it counts when they finally die after you've talked about them. Yeah, I don't think it does either. But also, I could see you using a comb on your mustache and beard. I think this still works. You know, I actually do. I actually have, I have a brush and wax. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It's like a, it looks like a shoe polish thing, but it's weirdly green. And you know, it's beard wax and you do, you know, you put the edge of the brush in there, and then you do this and it kind of smooths it all out. And I do that before I do a trim so that everything's even. I start with a clear, you know, an even dividing line. Is it greasy or oily or anything or just? No, no. And it smells really nice. And the wax, for the most part, I would say 99% of it comes out.
Starting point is 00:05:40 But it does kind of straighten those hairs to where you can do a nice little trim. I should get some of that because mine are real scraggly. They go different directions. I'll wake up and I've got like a hair. Can I tell you why it does that, by the way? Yeah, go. You know, I've been a hair-efficient auto for such a long time. Sure.
Starting point is 00:05:56 It's because when you're sitting there talking to me, you're doing this. Oh, I do it all the time. Yeah, I do this a lot. I do this a lot. It's a bad habit. Shaping and folding and massaging and then the side-to-side top of the hand thing. Yeah, sometimes I'll do this and then when I let go, or it doesn't do it now, but when I'll let go sometimes, it does like bad hair where it like stick over the side.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah, I got this plan with this particular beard, this plan, my plan, is you go short up here and you work your way down to kind of like a villain kind of a villain beard. Oh, really? Okay. I'm going for that, but it's taken forever. I don't grow hair at the speed I used to, so I don't think I'm feeling very good about my chances at this stage.
Starting point is 00:06:36 You may have something by TMS Vegas. Yeah, it's like high school again. It's like my beard took so long, I couldn't grow any facial hair in high school. So it was like, I feel like that again where I'm just going to keep what I got, hang on to it for dear life. Maybe by Vegas I look like Santa's evil brother. and
Starting point is 00:06:53 there you go. Perfect. See how it goes. Anyway, Spirit Airlines, I mean, bankruptcy could mean reorganization could mean a lot of things, but I think we may be effectively killed them by talking about them.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I think so. And I think seeing them get swallowed up by a company like JetBlue or... And they're owned Delta, right? Isn't JetBlue own Delta? Or Delta owns JetBlue? I think Delta owns JetBlue. Yeah, I have yet to go on a JetBlue flight.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I hear everybody I talk to that's been on one and says, oh, yeah, they're really, really nice. Yeah. people like them and um so i've always heard that too but i've never been on one either and apparently it's all blue lighting in there did i hear that right or maybe it's correct yes exactly it's like it's like my orange theory how it's all orange lights in there yeah you go on the jet blue boy i don't know what it would be like going from the gym to a jet blue flight one right after the other my my brain and those lights would be playing tricks on each other or something yeah
Starting point is 00:07:49 it's like this this flight from jet blue directed by james can Cameron, blue light everywhere. Well, that's amazing. Well, anyway, we'll keep our eye on it. You know, we don't want anyone to lose their jobs or see any kind of economic collapse in the industry of flight. But, you know, Spirit kind of got what they deserve because it sounds like they really sucked at their job. So maybe they'll get sucked up by Delta, be as good as JetBlue. When they bought them, that seemed to go well.
Starting point is 00:08:13 So maybe. Maybe Southwest will buy them and call them Northeast or something like that. South Spirit West. Spirit West isn't bad. That's not bad. Yeah. Or Southwest Spirit or something like that, right? Like their sub-class like, hey, if you want some frills, do Southwest.
Starting point is 00:08:35 If you want zero frills, Southwest Spirit. Yeah, I like it. Or Spirit of the West or something like that. Spirit of the West is nice. Yeah, and do all cowboy shit and all that. That'd be great. Right, right, exactly. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I picture like the guy. Who's the Vegas dude in the horse? What's his name? Vegas Vic. Vegas Vic. I picture him on the back wing going, yeah. Like the, oh my gosh. I'm blanking on every part of this I want to describe.
Starting point is 00:09:08 The black and white movie. Oh. Dr. Strange Love. And it was. The guy riding the missile. The guy riding the missile. And he was the guy who did serial commercials. I'm trying to figure it out before somebody in the chat room
Starting point is 00:09:21 says it you'll not you'll brenner uh you'll gibbons no uh slim pickin slim pickins shit the one from uh uh uh uh uh what's the mill brooks western what's the melbrooks western i can't think of it blazing saddles slim pickins was in blazing saddles hell yes he was in there and he was he's my favorite part of that movie i loved him i need i so need to rewatch that that is a movie that i really have not seen since i've not seen it in the last 40 years, easily. What made him great in that is what made him annoy me in the first adaptation of the stand. Stephen King's the stand, the TV thing.
Starting point is 00:10:00 He was in that. It's one of the last things he did, I think. And I couldn't, I can't do it. Slim Pickens is here for funny. He's not here for serious. So don't have Slim Pickens in your serious thing. Anyway. Rob Bell reminds me that Slim Pickens was the voice of old Bob in Black Hole.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Oh, I didn't know that. You had the two robots and one was. little and then the other one burr-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bur-b was all scratched up more and that was him that was apparently slim pickings was old bob that's that's like my face
Starting point is 00:10:32 I made the same face just now that I made when I heard that um Wayne or sorry Bruce Bruce Wayne John Wayne was the voice of you know the guy that turns Luke and it kind of turns coat and rats on Luke and everybody
Starting point is 00:10:46 that with the big nose going like gave him up and Mel Saisley or whatever. That's John Wayne's voice samples, but then tweaked. They went into... Shut up. Really? Yeah, I read this just yesterday, and I could not believe it. I had to look at it. I looked up like multiple sources to be sure, but they used John Wayne's
Starting point is 00:11:05 voice, and I think it was his actual voice did it as a favor or as a joke because he was in an adjacent studio. He hadn't died yet. This was like 76 or something. Yeah. And they used John Wayne's voice and then modulated it to sound like that. guy it's crazy pretty cool so that's the face i made that day i went like that yeah uh well anyway thank you for the message whoever you were and um you guys can always put
Starting point is 00:11:34 your names on these texts by the way we don't you know unless you don't want us to read them i don't i don't assume i don't know of course but if you would like us to say your name we'll totally say it but when they come in please know that we just get your phone number your serial number your social security number your address and uh your first pets yeah all of those but we don't get your actual name. So please give us that too. Be prepared. All right. Here's a quick note here that I was thinking about last night. Um, and we talked, well, when you and I got on, uh, on Mike today before we went live, kind of had a bit of a conversation about this, but I'm having a hard time getting to my watch list, which I've very curated now. It's a beautiful list. Every time you
Starting point is 00:12:12 guys recommend something on here, I'm like, oh, I should add that and I do. Um, and I have things that are obvious that I should watch, like, the penguin and an entire season of House of the Dragon that I still haven't seen. Oh, wow. Yeah, no kidding. And all this stuff. And I confess- of power is probably on there, too. Yeah, it is. Rings of Powers on there. Uh, hell, freaking, what's the time one? The other prime fantasy epic, uh, wheels of time, wheel of time. That's on there. Oh, we have this list. It just goes on for days. There's documentaries. There's single movies. There's TV shows. It's all this stuff. And part of the reason I will, I know that I'm behind this far and more than I've ever been isn't just because there's so much of it. There is a lot
Starting point is 00:12:55 of it. But part of it is because I'm reading a ton. I read every night. And so when I'm reading, typically if I'm like, well, I could start a new series tonight or I could read. And I usually read. I don't know why. That's just where I default these days. So is something going on while you're reading? Like is Kim watching something or is Kim reading as well? Or what's, she's, she's currently reading a novel, but also there are times where she'll be watching whatever she's into. I can't stand things like
Starting point is 00:13:23 like, what's the diary, not the vampire diary, she likes that too, but Princess Diaries or What's the other WB one? Something about diaries. XO.XO. Something, some girl diary. The Carrie Diary? The Carrie Bradshaw diaries? No, it's some chat. You guys know
Starting point is 00:13:42 what this is. What's it called the something diaries? If it ain't princess or carry diaries, then I don't know. Gossip Girl, that's it. Sorry, I always said diaries. So it's Gossip Girl, which I loathe. Sure. I can't stand it.
Starting point is 00:13:58 But if she's watching that, I'm like, well, I'm going to read this book or whatever. Now, I could watch something, put in the old earbuds, pop up the nice big iPad, watch something I want to watch, but I just do this a lot. So my question to you is, as someone who also has a curated list of things he wants to see. Yeah. how I assume you're just like prioritizing time to say it's time for the show Tina let's go yeah we so basically um after dinner for during dinner we'll just have the TV on it'll be something like um the previous night's jimmy kimmel or john oliver or the just the daily news that lester holt or something and um uh we'll watch that during dinner and then after dinner if we don't have
Starting point is 00:14:43 something else going on, we'll plop in front, pop on the couch, and we'll be binging a series. And we always, I say always, 90% of the time we wait until a series is all the way done, and then we watch the whole thing from start to finish. There are obviously exceptions about that.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Anything Marvel takes precedence, and so Agatha all along, we watched week to week. What if, when it comes back next month, we're going to watch week to week, etc., etc. Right. But we have a list that we keep, in a shared note, Apple notes, that we both edit and add stuff to.
Starting point is 00:15:20 And low-key best thing Apple makes right now, by the way. I just want to throw that out there. It kind of is. It really is. It's an amazing app. You don't even understand. You just like think. Because it's simple.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Yeah. Because they haven't added a lot of crap to it. I mean, you can do sketches and stuff in there, which is great. You can scan something. It automatically fixes the keystoning on paper to make it right. but just how you can collaborate quickly share see where revisions are made like it's it's a lot of advanced functionality
Starting point is 00:15:52 in a very simple package and nobody needs to be smart to use it it's just so easy I love it and if you create a checklist of something like we do with some of our to watch lists within that list if you click on the check box and check something it moves it to the bottom of the list
Starting point is 00:16:07 so you don't have to like sort through things you've already checkmarked they've already been moved to the very bottom. And then the bottom of the list is where I go, oh, yeah, what am I recommending this week? Cool. I'm going to pull that out and I'm going to recommend all that. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:16:19 So it's amazing. It's really, really good. So that's what we keep. Now, we've got stuff in there. I mean, we do tend to, what's the phrase? We tend to look at the top shiny things than further down the list. So that's part of my question because I do this.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, you know, we've got stuff in here like bones and all, the sea beast, all the beauty and the bloodshed, five days at Memorial, we crash. Like, these are all low on the list because we wanted to add them before the dead don't die, toast of London, Wellington, Wellington, Paranormal, lots of stuff down there. Up at the top, you know, is all the new stuff that we've been adding, like Colin from accounts, Flora and son. let's see Shetland no offense those are two things that Tina apparently just added no idea what those are I don't know what those are and I've never even heard of those
Starting point is 00:17:22 next goal wins which was just a recommendal from somebody Michael Fastbender's talk Yeah high on my list is Billy and Molly that was yours right yes the the love story the Billy and Molly the Otter
Starting point is 00:17:37 Otter thing yeah yes oh my God and and if you don't make her watch that with you. You are failing as a parent. Oh, I'm making her. She's going to be crying before you know it. You just watch. No, so a lot of these, I'm having the, okay, so are you saying that you are prioritizing
Starting point is 00:17:55 some of these by making a little section of its own to say these are the hots and then everything else is like, get to it when you get to it? We have the big list called series, and then underneath that we've got another separate list called movies. So we try and I think I mentioned a couple of movies, though, that had got. and slipped into series. But movies are a little bit tougher because we're pulling from this list of things people have recommended to us and then new things that we just knew we wanted to see.
Starting point is 00:18:23 And then we've got the AFI 100 scratch-off thing from Pop Chart. It's like a lottery ticket scratch-off poster that, you know, the 100 greatest movies of all time. And we're trying to slip those in as well. So we'll watch American Graffiti because I haven't seen that since I was a kid. and then we'll watch Love and Kilnary and then we'll watch something that just came out which I'm going to recommend tomorrow and things like that
Starting point is 00:18:47 and so that one is a little bit tougher. Below that list is the Tina only list. Oh, nice! That's what I got to do. It's like, all right, I know Tina doesn't give two craps about Arcane.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I'm watching that one on my own. I know Tina knows that I don't care about what's this the Starling Girl or Dancing with the Devil or we don't talk about Kevin or something like that so she watches those and then below that
Starting point is 00:19:20 this is a serious list yeah I can say I'm sure that yeah I copied and pasted the Hollywood Reporter's list of the 50 best TV shows of the 21st century copy and pasted that list and have been removing ones of those that we've already watched.
Starting point is 00:19:38 So, like, I need to finish Bojack Horseman. That's a me only. Tina doesn't care about that. We're going to watch the Americans. I may destroy you, Broad City, Jane the Virgin, Band of Brothers. I know we've never seen Band of Brothers. Oh, that's so good.
Starting point is 00:19:56 You haven't seen Broad City either. Will this be a first video? I haven't seen Broad City, yeah. So, like, these are all ones that we slip those in on things. You guys are going to love Broad City. City. It's so good. I'm sure we will. We love sketch comedy and the clips that people have sent to us or sent to me anyway that I watched are great. And I love Enola Glazer. No, Ilana
Starting point is 00:20:18 Elana Glazer. One of the two women the curly hair, the curly-haired little freaky one. That's her. I've seen her on something else and thought she was absolutely hilarious. Yeah, she's great. Yeah. Love her. So anyway. That's great. Okay. Well, you know what? I'm going to reorganize it. Bob Norman says, oh, for F's sake. coverville stop the show and watch band of brothers right now it is really good yeah make sure you put the pacific on there too as a follow-up that one's awesome oh yeah we'll do and uh you know
Starting point is 00:20:46 not even on here no probably is but that um masters of the air i think it was called the the um apple tv plus series about oh right with elvis in it uh fayed what's his name yeah uh uh might have been what he was called in dune but i think his name is uh what's his real name James the hell's his name what do we do Austin Austin something Austin powers Austin green
Starting point is 00:21:16 Austin Austin Michael Austin City limits Austin Austin Butler Thanks Mason Gregory I love him He's great
Starting point is 00:21:27 He's great when he was at Elvis He was great in Dune But boy I couldn't get through him in Elvis But Oh I never had something see Elvis. That's our list. Are you recommending I don't see Elvis? Is that what you're telling me?
Starting point is 00:21:40 Yeah. I mean, I mean, yeah. I hated it. And it was, it's rare that I hate an Oscar nominee, but that one, that one, was that nominate? I guess that was just, he was just nominated for best actor. I don't think it was Best Picture nomination. Maybe director for, uh, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:21:56 It might have been for, yeah, for Baz Luhrman, but, um, yeah, something like that. Yeah, no, that and Roma, for whatever reason. I love Alfon, Alfon, Quaron and I will give another side recommendal to disclaimer people that I've talked to that
Starting point is 00:22:16 watched it now that we've watched it are like oh yeah how about that ending I'm like oh yeah I know so good so it's not going to be my recommendal tomorrow but I will issue another recommendal right now for disclaimer on Apple TV Plus and if if you're triggered by sexual violence
Starting point is 00:22:33 reach out to me via DM because I don't want to spoil it for anybody and I'll tell you where to where to pause skip forward and then continue and still still feel um still feel like you get the story nice um all right well I have while you just said all that I have converted mine to be categorized instead of a giant brain dump because right now it's just like yeah yeah yeah no break it break it up because sometimes you'll say oh I'm in the mood to start a new series and other times it'll be like oh we got two hours let's watch a movie tonight and then you can pull from the separate list for that. Sure. I really like, so Travis says, it depends on if you like
Starting point is 00:23:10 Baz Luhrman. I think you like Bad Lerman. I love Baz Luhrman. I love Mulan Rouge. I even love strictly freaking Ballroom. Yeah, I kind of do too. I like that movie along. But I did not like Elvis. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard such mixed things. I've heard some people say, oh, one of my favorite movies of 20 years. And then I've heard you say the opposite. And these are all voices I trust. So, you know, your mileage may vary. Maybe you'll enjoy it but um it felt i don't know like it it felt too much like they just didn't care about the source material like it was more a here's a storyline that we can kind of baslermify up yeah uh with with um the glitz that he likes to put in things and i it just it landed badly on me
Starting point is 00:24:00 i didn't like it here is my impression of austin butler you ready here goes yeah okay your knife chip and shudder all right nicely done time for a dune watch and also that's another thing that's on now the HBO first episode
Starting point is 00:24:14 of the prequel Dune series is on the one the Benad Jeserate thing and I got to watch that I hear a good thing so shit that says too much stuff
Starting point is 00:24:23 and then I'm like I'll just read my book like some kind of old bitty on a chair rocking on the porch going I'll just read my book right right nothing wrong with reading I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:24:35 I need to get some viewing going. Hey, really quickly, can I tell you something? I listened to Howard Stern had a great interview yesterday with Josh Brolin. And as a fan of No Country for Old Man, I want to drop some bombs on you. Two weeks before they started filming, Josh broke his collarbone. Oh. And then told his doctor to lie to the Cohen brothers when they called to check on his progress to say, it's just a hairline fracture but it was like totally broken oh my gosh and so for the whole filming
Starting point is 00:25:09 of no country for old men his his collarbone was broken and they kind of used that with like him you know because he had just gotten shot kind of thing like played up on that yeah uh also heath ledger was originally supposed to get his role but heath backed out and uh josh brolin got the role because of that well did he talk so the one thing i did know about brolin in that movie was that he was dead broke before they hired him like he was yeah the worst part of his career was not getting any jobs nothing was working out like basically before even before he was in guineas he was in jail twice and then after goonies he became like a day trader like a stockbroker doing doing trading and then um submitted a tape for no country for old men and his agent really pushed things and
Starting point is 00:25:56 said no you've got to you've got to consider brolin for this role and um initially of course brothers watched the tape and said oh it's really good who lit that like they're more interested in who lit the recording yeah who uh did the lighting and wanted to hire that guy than they were brolin and he says no get him in person see him in person you'll love him oh i love that that's great he's i mean he what an awesome role and what a career resetting moment for him but for sure yeah i feel like watching it again just talking about it i love that movie so much i know a man named Lou Ellen. I'm going to, next time I get to name anybody's male child, I'm going to name him Lou Ellen.
Starting point is 00:26:38 You're going to push for Lou Ellen. Yeah, because it's just such a weird ass name for a man. Anyway, oh, quick thing, I mentioned this on the Monday show. I just like to say it one more time. If anyone out there has any advice on how to diagnose what's wrong with your microwave, that'd be awesome. Our microwave stopped working. And to get it replaced is very expensive because it's a specific size built in, like, over the
Starting point is 00:27:02 stove style one. It's not just to put it on the counter deal. I can get those cheap. So what I'm trying to do is figure it out. It still goes, ha, you know, like it's running. The wheel turns, the lights on, the timer works, all that stuff, no heat.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And I don't know if there's such a thing as a heating element in a microwave or what that part is called, the part that actually cooks. That does the waves, that sends the microwaves. The waves of microwness go out of it somehow. It shows what I know. It's not called a magnetron, is it? Is it called a magnetron?
Starting point is 00:27:38 People are saying the magnetron. That really feels like... That's a transformer we don't see very often. It totally is. Roll out. Magnetron. I'm sorry, cooking a hot dog. I'm over here making... I'm over here making dogritos.
Starting point is 00:27:51 You want me to fight Megatron? Hold on. Heating up some microwave ramen. I'll be there in a sec. Three minutes. 259. 258. I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:28:01 I don't know how to go in there and fix my magnetron, you know, if that is a real thing. I guess it is. Everyone in here is saying it. So I don't know, man. I'm just frustrated. So I'm just, don't need to go into it more than that. I just want to throw it out there. If anyone knows, ping me, DM me, send me a message, email me, whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I need advice on how to fix my damn magnetron. Okay. Brian, I found a sound and I would like to know if it annoys you. Are you ready? Okay. Yeah, I'm predicting yes already. You know, I've been having the Simpsons on just behind me all the time. it's just kind of on right now.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I'm doing a rewatch, a very casual rewatch as I work and get other stuff done. I'm hearing The Simpsons. And I noticed something that has been there since day one and continues some many 30 years later, whenever anyone's eating in that show, they sound like this. And pardon the buzz,
Starting point is 00:28:49 I had a weird crossed wire when I recorded this, but you'll get the idea. Here you go. All right. How does that land on you? Do you like that? Actually, that doesn't bother me, because I know it's the Homer Simpson, like,
Starting point is 00:29:04 well, I think it's Homer Simpson, the, the homer. It's totally Homer, yeah, totally, yeah. For, I guess, cartoony eating like that doesn't bother me, and I don't know why. I think because I know it's going to be over quickly and because I know there's not somebody actually eating, and I'm not hearing part of a ham sandwich in somebody's mouth. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I'm hearing just somebody makes, making the noise like they've got a ham sandwich. And it's, and the fact that they presented in cartoon form, probably lessens it. What's funny is the chat is losing their mind. They hate it. Look at that. Yeah. No kidding. Listen to it. Look at that. I'm going to do it again for them. That's the rape.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Oh, yeah. Yeah. No. You ever want to know where the rebels have hidden the plans? Put me in front of a muckbang stream. And I will not only tell you the location of the rebel base, but I will drive you there. So when you
Starting point is 00:29:59 remember Guantan, or not Guantanamo, what was the prison where we got in all that trouble for Guantanamo they were playing heavy metal they were playing like Metallica it's it was in Iraq it was the one we got had the naked guys on chains and all that it was really bad
Starting point is 00:30:15 Oh Gabby Gabba Gabby Agaba Gaba Gaba Gaba Ghabi Abu Gharab that's it Garab abu garab yes Whatever it is We're as bad as George Bush Jr. Anyway
Starting point is 00:30:30 No Gaba Gaba Gaba Gaba No, Gaba Gaba. Oh, those days, but dark days. Anyway, they shouldn't, forget about waterboarding and pulling people around on a leash naked or anything. Just put them in front of muckbang. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, yeah. And then if that doesn't work, just an influencer unboxing makeup.
Starting point is 00:30:47 It would be enough. Like, secondarily, you do that. I do follow a guy that does, like, it's not muckbang, or it's not ASMR, or maybe it kind of is. He's silent. He doesn't say anything, but he just opens electronics. and has all the sounds of like the cardboardy smooth his hand over it and then opens it. Oh, see, I like that.
Starting point is 00:31:06 You know my favorite noise of that is a glass surface where you're pulling off the plastic protective wrap for the first time. Yeah, dude. I like that too. Yeah. I think that says some about us, you know. It really does.
Starting point is 00:31:21 But like a nice monitor display. Yeah. I actually do this thing where I will try to find or it's like Christmas morning. find like I have a monitor or something and I realize I've never pulled off the bezel plastic.
Starting point is 00:31:36 And it's like this moment of like, hold on, stop everything. I need to take this off. I love that. Yeah. Big fan. All right. Well, we found what we like and what we don't like. That's right. Exactly. Yes. Brian, you're playing a strong astronaut astronaut again. I hear there's like a, this Glitchwalker
Starting point is 00:31:52 thing makes no sense to me so maybe you can make some sense of it. I don't know what they're doing. Yeah. So they just came out with their first big DLC. They've had some small like story editions and things like that, but this is their first, I think, paid DLC with Astraneer. And it's called Glitchwalkers.
Starting point is 00:32:09 And basically what you're doing is you are you're building a portal that goes to another planet that's like in a separate instance. And then in that instance you're battling somebody
Starting point is 00:32:24 who apparently lives in the core of this giant planet. So you have to You have to first start over because you've got no, none of the things that you have on your base, so you're kind of starting over. Building resources, getting new things, re-getting stuff. And then, yeah, like you have in that video, that green thing back there is a storm. And the storm is key to like all of these elements and things that you need. You need to go into that storm and get stuff out of it. One of the new things they've added, and you can see it on there, is now you can
Starting point is 00:32:57 partner up with people and invite them and get to the center of this planet and battle the guy inside. Right. So it's all, I'm a solo player, so I'm fine not sharing this experience, not doing it, partnering up. Not sharing the good times. Yeah. I mean, kind of, but it's also that's like, oh, I've got 10 minutes here. I've got 15 minutes here. The, the thing about this game is it's very solo friendly, so you don't have to do stuff. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, it's very very solo supportive. But it is this new
Starting point is 00:33:30 DLC is just a blast. It's like gotten me back into the excitement of that first feeling of like, oh, I'm on a planet. I need to like find the resources
Starting point is 00:33:43 to start building the things I'm going to need to survive. And I kind of like that, you know, once I had a base where I like filled a bunch of canisters with every possible resource and building.
Starting point is 00:33:55 a thing that automatically destroys and replants my plant so that I can keep feeding my little slugs. Then it's like, okay, the channel, I'm done with, I've completed it, I feel like I've finished the game and then this has kind of got me back in. It is a fantastic video game.
Starting point is 00:34:13 People should play that game. It's good. It really, really is. And it feels like it's like no man's sky. I don't want to call it light because it feels it feels like the stakes are just as bad with this or not bad the stakes are just as high with astraneer so I don't know I really
Starting point is 00:34:35 I like I like that feel of both that and the no man sky kind of thing Talley I do have Factorio and I got so far as building to the point where I think I put in like six or seven hours into Factorio I'd have to look at my Steam to see how much I've really put into it, but man, I feel like I put a lot of time into
Starting point is 00:34:57 Factorio. Yeah, Factorio is a beast. If you get into it, you may never come out. It's like, all right, conveyor belts from that, plant over there that's creating this, and then you've got monsters trying to actively kill you in Factorio. I always turn that off in the beginning. When I do a new run, I just turn that. I just, well, I think you can just make them passive so they don't attack.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Sure, sure. Yeah, Factorio is amazing. they're putting in finally full like native controller support into Factoria which is good because I really want to play it on my Steam deck and it's kind of wonky without official support. Oh that would be tough
Starting point is 00:35:34 yeah so I hope they hurry and do that. I want a good mobile one and there was one that I finished that I really liked that was called oh man it gave you um we talked about on this show but it has a very
Starting point is 00:35:49 like you're creating a little village and you're sending the villagers to do different things. I'm trying to think of what that one's called. Do you, like, go collect the berries from here and then chop down the trees when you're done, and then go over here and do this. Shadowland. Apple Arcade one?
Starting point is 00:36:06 Apple Arcade one. Oh, yeah. Oh, shit. I forgot the name. It's like a city builder, but there was automation in it, so you could tell people to go do stuff, and they would do what your commands were, and then you could tell them to go do something else.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Not like an RTS, but different than that. yeah i can't remember the name it's really good though it was really good yeah so looking for something like that i really you know years years and years ago i loved um it was an xbox game called the kingdom of kelplings oh that game was great it was great you were like a giant and you had all these little people and you'd like pick them up and you're picking you up you go work on these logs and i'm picking you up you go dig for gems and your giant was based on your avatar right in the in the the Xbox Avatar? Right, it was like your, you're me.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Yeah. So my guy was all dressed in like Master Chief, Halo shit, and he would stomp around this town and grab people and make him do work. And, dude, that game was great. It was great. Freaking great. I think he still played. Outlanders.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Outlanders is the other one that's on Apple arcade. That's really, really good. Yeah, go check that out. It's got that same kind of low-poly thing going on. It does. Yeah. Which I like a lot. I like that look.
Starting point is 00:37:20 So always looking for a new one. Somebody said surviving Mars. I think I might have surviving Mars. Whoa, there's an Outlanders 2. Yes, yes, and it's great. Is that the one you played? I played both. I played one and two.
Starting point is 00:37:33 And two ramps up the difficulty, man. I didn't know there was two. I got to get this. All right, I'll go get that today. All right, games. And Stephanie, you're doing okay after all that? Stephanie can now come and listen to the show. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Which is real. Stephanie, I hope you're okay. I hope you're not, you know, I hope we didn't put you off. All right. We are going to do some quick news before we take our break, and that'll happen now with this sound right here. It's time for the news brought to you by. Did you know that our very own Brian Dunaway
Starting point is 00:38:08 streams classic games multiple times a week? Come on, you didn't know that, der. The proof is in the watching at twitch.tv slash Brian Dunaway. No you. Yeah, no you. Go check it out. Arbuths. Farrell and not trained emus in the news. They're called Thelma and Louise, if you can believe it. Oh, that's cute. All right. Good. They are on the loose in South Carolina as state monkey
Starting point is 00:38:34 search continues. So they've already got the monkey. We talked about this last week. The monkeys are all over the place. I think it was while Bobby was here. Two more animals are on the loose in South Carolina. As the state continues, it's search for fugitive monkeys that escape from the medical facility in Bufort County. This time it's two emu's named Thelma and Louise that escaped about three hours drive north. I don't say Beaufort, but
Starting point is 00:38:58 what did I say? Buford. Oh, is it not Bufort? I guess that's like Boefort. I would be both for it. Yeah, I don't know. I could be totally wrong. Bobby could correct us, but really, Bobby, what is going on in your state? You guys can't manage animals. Yeah, what's going on with you guys?
Starting point is 00:39:12 Fix your shit. Okay. Correct. You got it right. Is it Buford? All right. It's Bufort. I mean, if you break him apart, it would be weird if I called Bo, uh, Bue. Bue and John here on Kerr. I'm going to do Kerr this weekend with Bue and Jern. Anyway, it says here, it says these two stupid things escaped about three hours north of all this. So this isn't even the same facility. It's not even related.
Starting point is 00:39:41 They're just animals are breaking out everywhere. Animals on the loose. Yeah. The hoary county police department just full of hoas. wrote about the large missing birds Wednesday saying we're not emused do you get it we are not emused yeah I get it that was an actual quote on their thing I don't think they're taking this very seriously that's what I think well you know what this is something I like that we we have something else to focus on like I like that we can focus on the the monkeys the lab monkeys and the the emus that are running around and
Starting point is 00:40:18 Maybe we could just watch that news for a while. This is our kind of news right now. Yeah. We get full-time 24-hour coverage on CNN of the monkeys and the emus. I wonder if Animal Planet is covering this like any kind of news coverage. I don't know how they do stuff over there. Anyway, they say there is no risk to the community associated with the emus at this time. They are kind of wild, though.
Starting point is 00:40:39 And they said feral and not trained. So I don't know if they're exactly safe, but whatever. Maybe they're really careful, scared birds and they don't want to go around humans. I don't know. Anyway, the police said they did not have an update about the missing birds and that by any additional information, or they would post more online as they knew it. Sam Maurice or Morris, it's like Mo-A-ace, Morrace. I would say Morris. It's a weird way of spilling Morris.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Because if you change that M to an H, it would be Horace. Oh, yeah, of course. I would say Morris. Do you know any horace's in real life? Do you know any? I do not know any horuses. Never met a horace. No.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Never met a horace. I mean, I don't even know, are there real... There's got to be a horace. Someone somewhere is named Horace, right? Sure. I'm just trying to think, is there a celebrity horace that we, that I'm not thinking of right now? Horace. Horace, Horace.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Horace. I can't think of a single list. Horace something. Or is there... Who's Horace Grant? Who's Horace Grant? These bulls? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Basketball. Oh, Horace Grant. Sure. Yep, there you go. There's a horace. That's as good as we got, though. Yeah, that's it. That's it. By the way, Bobby says that it's pronounced ory county and not hoary, even though there's an H at the beginning of that. It's hori. Well, I'm going to say hoary because I think it's funny. It's funnier. Take that, Bobby. Take that. It says they decided to want, they wanted to hop the fence and we're trying to grab one of them to move her to another paddock. She didn't like that. So she's living in the wild with the other one. So they're out there just living their lives. We're about to try. drive off a cliff they're questioning brad pitt right now brad pitt is not he's not saying anything it tied to a bed
Starting point is 00:42:23 stand or a nightstand and uh yep ridley scott ain't talking that's just a mess huge mess uh all right here's a fun one this is for all you chocolate lovers lint or lind d how do you i never don't think i say lint even though it's a horrible a horrible name for any food food company yeah especially chocolate you got any lint on you yeah i'm have lint in my pocket would you like some gross that's gross uh lint admits its chocolate isn't actually quote expertly crafted with the finest ingredients unquote i'd like to know which word in that description is it is the is the bad word ingredients or expertly yeah they get a little weird about it i think it's i think i think it is actually mainly ingredients because this is about chemicals ultimately
Starting point is 00:43:14 but uh yeah it's just funny the expertly craft part is now also a suss. This is according to a lawsuit. They had to admit this because of this lawsuit over lead levels in dark chocolate. Oh, geez. Which is the only chocolate I eat now whenever I do have chocolate, pretty rarely. But when I do, it's dark. I don't want no lead in my dark chocolate.
Starting point is 00:43:33 That's effed. No. Oh, I'm out of dark chocolate covered black licorice. I need to order some more of that. Thank you for the reminder. Brian, I got to send you something my sovereign weekend that was meant for you, and I forgot to send it. Hold on one second here.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Where is it? Here it is. I went to this place called Pirat O's here in town. I think Kevin will know what this is. Pirateau, part of a balanced breakfast. It does sound like a breakfast, doesn't it? It was cereal. That's what I said. Everyone laughed at me.
Starting point is 00:43:59 I'm like, no, it's like a cereal. And they're like, no, it's a place with a bit. I'm like, I know what it is, but it sounds like a cereal. It sounds like a cereal, yeah. Pirittos. Part of this complete breakfast of 500 other items. Little I patch. I patch marshmallows.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Find the pot of gold in every box. I mean, it writes it. Self. Okay, so this photo I just sent you, it's, they have a section of this store, which is all like weird imports and stuff. The whole idea is that pirates brought it all from their booty. And now you can go by it. Oh, look at that. Oh, my God. So this is, this is for Brian because he loves the, the, uh, the licorice. I love the black licorice. Yes. I don't like salted black licorish though. Uh, it's insulting to hear on the show. And it was like some monkeys and coconuts label thing. And I. Sorry, whoever sent that, I threw out the entire bag after having one of those. There was no way I was going to ever have any of that. It's a very specific kind that you're going to want or need. And that was not it.
Starting point is 00:44:58 But here it is, Chad. Varieties up there of old timers, root oval and cobblestone. Yeah. Look at this stuff, dude. Right? Liquorish, all sorts from buns. So I was tempted to go, well, I'm just going to grab him a couple of bags of something, but I didn't know what's good here.
Starting point is 00:45:13 I don't know. Yeah. Look at this stuff at the bottom. it looks like Hershey's, but it's Herskeville, her her herchkin hair, right. It is the Hershey's logo. Yeah. The Hershey's font, but it's, it's like AI came up with a Hershey's logo.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Yeah. And this Salos Das original. Das original, yeah. I don't know what, because they've got a, they've got a clear plastic bag in that first hex hail. Over here, yeah. And it looks like, it does not look like licorice cubes. They look like brown poop cubes or something.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Yeah, poop cubes. it's my favorite kind of cute um but look at this oh what's that one right there the uh second shelf from the bottom there's like extra caramel is that licorice with caramel inside yeah so this is german and it's supposed to be real good according to the lady we talked to so i almost grabbed you some of that um but i didn't i will next time i go i may get some more than the next time i go but uh kind of bun bun that place is great dude and it looks like that looks like it would be my downfall Yeah. Right there.
Starting point is 00:46:16 It's really cool. They got like crazy sauces and weird pickled things and like it's a whole store full of crazy imports. And then they make sandwiches too and the sandwiches are amazing. Oh, really? It's funny that Wiley Wallaby, which is one of my favorites, looks like the most pedestrian licorice in that display compared to everything else. And I'm a fan of the Wiley Wallaby. I think they're red and they're black is fantastic. It's like super chewy Australian licorish.
Starting point is 00:46:45 I was going to ask if it's Australian. I guess it would be, Wallaby. It totally is, yeah. I bet Phil would know. That would be, I mean, it would be looking at all the rest of this stuff. It would be the last thing that I bought from this display. Yeah. So we have a wily coyote.
Starting point is 00:46:59 They have a wily wallaby. Is that how it works down there? You know? Right. I think, you know, what's it going after? Is it going after one of those, one of those flightless birds down there? Come around? No.
Starting point is 00:47:15 they're all over the place too they're all over the place and there's even like not emus kiwis not kiwis not kiwis no not kiwis not dewees it's as big it's as big as a um it's as big as an emu or an ostrich cassowary that's it thank you kelly
Starting point is 00:47:33 1 30s cassowary okay cassowary like we went to when we went to australia there was there were uh speed bump signs all over the place where this rain forest that we went to outside of Sydney was. And they had a sign
Starting point is 00:47:52 next to it saying cassowary crossing. And then somebody had taken black Sharpie and drawn a dead cassowary, like made the speed bump into a cassowary laying on its back
Starting point is 00:48:03 with its feet up in the air and its head like the speed bump now is a cassowary. Is that a large bird? Like is it sizewise? It is large, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:13 It's a big, it's a big, big bird. It's like, uh, yeah, maybe not quite the size of, uh, like an ostrich or something like that. An ostrich, a little bit smaller, but, I don't know. Actually, I'm looking at photos right now. Oh, were they the aggressive ones with the weird face hair? Yes. Oh, I know what those are.
Starting point is 00:48:31 The blue and the big, the big dinosaur hump on their head. Yeah, those things are dicks from what I can tell. They, they're like attack, not attack owners, but just get real feisty and like peck at you. Yeah. According to this YouTube that came up when I did a search for Cassowary, it's Earth's deadliest bird. They scare me. I don't like those things. I follow a lady.
Starting point is 00:48:53 She's a farmer on TikTok. I think she's fairly popular, but she has two of these. And they're always going after her, just constantly charging her and pecking at her from outside camera view and stuff like that. They just seem very aggressive. Well, anyway. Look at this diagram. I'm going to send it to you in Discord. it. I know we've got to get to the middle song, but look at this thing for
Starting point is 00:49:14 Know Your Cassowary. Let's see here. Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh, they're scary. Yeah, but it's funny, the, um, this whole diagram is really interesting because it's, like, comparing them to the size of a human. Yeah. And then, oh, dang it. I love this. I love a little silhouette size comparisons. That's one of my favorite things. Yeah, totally. But then you've got least concern. Over here, least concern. And then for some reason, they show like a, a sperm whale, or no, a beluga whale. Oh. No, a narwhal, because it's got a horn. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Double-watted. This one is watteless. This one single-wattled. So they have a dwarf version that's least concern. Yes. All three of them say least concern, but I don't know why. That's weird, isn't it? I don't understand that. They're like
Starting point is 00:50:03 dinosaurs with the full coat of fur, or with feathers, which basically that's where dinosaurs were, I suppose. At the end of the day, we all kind of think that now. kind of are they're very dinosaur looking and they're apparently mean and shitty yeah they're not the super genius so i guess that'd be the wallaby uh all right we're gonna take a break when we come back bill will be here and talk about making stuff before that a song from brian what did you bring yeah oh my gosh love these guys and we've talked before about how i like uh dream pop it's like
Starting point is 00:50:33 a subset of power pop it's kind of like very airy sounding guitars uh atmospheric kind of sounding. This is a band called King Stingray. Currently they're touring with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard wizard is an opening act for them. And yes, it's another another deadliest band. I love, I've never heard that band name, so that caught me
Starting point is 00:50:57 a little off guard. It's kind of funny to have King Stingray opening up for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard wizard. It feels like you're going to an animal planet sponsored concert or something. Anyway, these guys have released their second album, which is called For the Dreams. They're also
Starting point is 00:51:13 in Australia. They're from the northeast Amam Land in the Northern Territory. They call their sound Yulju-Ju-Surf rock. Sure. I believe them. And they write lyrics in both English and in Yon-Ju Matha.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Okay, sure. Anyway, this is the song Southerly and it comes from their brand new album for the Dreams. Here is King Stingray. Went down to look at the beach Didn't know you would be there Looking back at me You were in the water

And we're back. Hey, who was that one more time? Sure. That is King Stingray from their brand new album for the dreams and a song called Sutherley.

Starting point is 00:57:01 Oh, I don't hear him. Bill? Is he muted? Maybe we jumped the gun on being able to talk to Bill and welcome him. He's there, but he's muted. some sort we can't hear you bill uh i hope you can hear us please adjust your if you can hear us oh there you go there we go hi all right hello we're here how are you we're good man were you hearing us yes i do remember that yeah what was that experience like if you can recall did you enjoy it um
Starting point is 00:57:28 it was a fun kind of chaos because most things are set up i just had to show up i think i believe jury did most of the heavy lifting i just had the jury was the scott And I think you were the Brian. Yeah. I just had to call in. Yeah. So if you wanted to do that again, where I didn't have to turn the knobs, then I'm cool. You're always down.
Starting point is 00:57:50 That's great. Yeah, clearly, as you've demonstrated today, you are ready with microphone going and everything. Oh, yeah, yeah. Never been more ready. Yeah. Never been more ready. I still have the jury stink on me. I saw him last week.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Oh, you did, did you? What did you guys? You were down there, I assume? Down to Texas? Yes. What's up down there? What are you guys doing? You're collaborating? What's going on? Yeah, so this is what I wanted to talk about this week. I was in Austin.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Brittany and I were both in Austin for most of last week, mostly to film stuff with Brian Brushwood. But we did get to go see Justin and Ashley and Justin's mom and their new baby. Oh. Yeah. And when we got there, the baby immediately pooped all over Justin. Fantastic. It's the most Justin thing. for his baby to do, honestly. I got to see her on a live
Starting point is 00:58:42 when he and I recorded his podcast, I don't know, three weeks ago, whatever it's been, two weeks, got to see her on camera. She's adorable, yet somehow looks like him a little, which is weird, right? Yeah, especially the graying hair.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Big shock of graying hair. And the beard, I'm not used to a beard on a small girl like that, but anyway, whatever, I wish them luck. Good job. But no, that's great. Sounds like you guys probably had a good time. What were you guys, what were you building down there?
Starting point is 00:59:13 Or can you say? I don't know if you can even say. I can say. So Brian reached out to us. They've been wanting to start filming more like scam school and modern rogue videos down there. And I've filmed with them before. Believe it or I've never been in an episode of scam school, which changed, which is exciting. But I've done some modern rogue filming with them at their old location, not the new
Starting point is 00:59:38 one. Yeah. So Brian bought this property a few years ago. We did get to go check it out for the eclipse. We were there in April. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, with a couple hundred other people.
Starting point is 00:59:52 But this time, it was just the crew, just us and the folks that worked for Brian. And we got to film a ton of stuff while we were down there. Cool. Awesome. Yeah. So neither of you have been there yet, have you? I've not been there yet, no, no. Oh, if you get a chance, you've got to go down and the hangout.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Yeah. The Monorog, H.Q is really, really cool, especially for filming stuff. They have a warehouse that Bonnie uses for her ceramics, but it's also their soundstage for filming, and it's air-conditioned. Oh, it's so good. You got to have that in Texas, man. You do, yeah. Yeah. Too hot.
Starting point is 01:00:33 And then they have their headquarters building, which was this big, weird. like a hippie cult house that that they redid and it's now got a giant live podcast studio it's got accommodations which is where brittany and i stayed uh it's just a really awesome place to be able to go and just film all day and get a ton of work done sounds like the original place was like a horror movie just waiting to be written like it was yeah like like well the property is super interesting there's a there's a burnt out old not burnt out there's a burnt out car they Ryan did that. They lit a car on fire. But there's also this old bus on the property that's this really cool old looking bus. It doesn't seem to work, but you could turn it into a little apartment if you wanted to. That's how you move all your hippies around. That's right. You got to have a hippie bus. They also have this huge. They call it the seven acre shwood, the sort of woods with a trail through it. So when they're filming there, they have tons of locations. You can just have.
Starting point is 01:01:37 on over to the fire pit and film there or the soundstage or near the giant bus or somewhere on one of the trails. It's just a really cool place, really inspiring and fun place to go film stuff. Nice. Did you guys blow anything up or burn or melt anything while you were there?
Starting point is 01:01:52 Mm-hmm. We did burn some stuff. Yeah. Yeah. We lit a few things on fire. Yeah. So I brought some projects. Basically, Brian said, you want to come film here? And I said, yes. And he said, bring some stuff. I even
Starting point is 01:02:09 put a 3D printer in my luggage and brought it. Really? Oh, wow. How'd you do, wait a minute. How'd you Well, I guess I don't know what the printer looks like. It seems like that'd be too big and too delicate and everything. How do you? It was like a little ender or was it like a full size? It was a little, it's a mini, a prusive mini. And there's one vertical arm and if you take that down, the whole thing
Starting point is 01:02:31 kind of folds in half. I crammed it in my luggage. Wow. Stuff's a bunch of underwear around it. And it And it worked just fine. Nice. You're packing peanuts or your underwear. That's fantastic. Oh, yeah. Well, I have very, very soft, comfortable underwear.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Oh, I have a feeling. No, no, no. I've always felt like if there's an undercarriage to admire and maybe be a little jealous of it, it's yours. So we brought a bunch of fun stuff. One of the things we did, I had a $50 gift card to Harbor Freight. So I brought that with me, and I said, I'll tell you well, I'll go to Harbor Freight now.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Buy a bunch of tools I know you don't have. Yeah. And then I made Brian guess what they did. That's great. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So we had a whole pile of tools and then we got to guess what they did and then it'd show them what they really do.
Starting point is 01:03:23 That was a ton of fun. And it also, like, upgraded their tool arsenal for what they're able to accomplish around there, which is really good. That's great. Very cool. We did some foam smithing, which was really fun. sort of my wheelhouse we made a wrench out of
Starting point is 01:03:39 EVA foam and then we painted it to look all super rusty and everything Oh cool Just super super fun to show off with Brian And then we even did some woodworking I hesitate to say it was fine woodworking But we definitely worked with some wood We made something neat for the property
Starting point is 01:03:57 Let's just say And these will all be videos out on the Modern Rogue channel For everyone to see At some point I have no idea they're coming out. Yeah, probably soon though, because I think they're well, I know they film ahead, so maybe
Starting point is 01:04:11 who knows, but sometime probably either late this year or next. I would say early next. We got three modern rogue videos filmed and Brian had us, me and Britt, do a bunch of Scam Nation videos. So like we answered a bunch of or tried anyway, tried to answer a bunch
Starting point is 01:04:27 of fun bar puzzles, that sort of thing. Oh, cool. So we've filmed a bunch of shorts for that. We filmed some longer stuff. We filmed a ton of stuff. We filmed a ton of stuff. They'll look forward to a lot of that coming out over on Brian Brushwood's channels of Everywhere he posts everything Did you film any of it for like double-use stuff you're going to use on any videos you're posting on Punish Props? Probably not we filmed a bunch of things here and there
Starting point is 01:04:51 But mostly we were focused on getting stuff done for Brian And then we're back home now so we'll get back to work on our bender So that's going on over here I was going to ask if we had any updates I'm looking it looks like the last video I saw is still the same one And so I'm chomping at the cheese for this. I'm going to be working on a bender this weekend, but I don't think it's the same kind of bender. But you will be telling people to kiss your shiny metal ass at this. I totally will.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Yes, that is the parallel right. Well, this is great. Looking forward to all of that. It must have been a fun trip. And glad you got to see those guys. And I'm glad the baby pooped on Justin. I think that's fantastic. It was a win all around.
Starting point is 01:05:27 We really couldn't have asked for better. It's always fun to go in a learning experience to go see how other people film and do what they do. Brian's got a whole crew of people, which is awesome. Brittany and I, it's just, well, it's just the two of us. It's a very different experience around here. That's a great song too, just the two of us. Britt and Bill making shit, just the two of us. Well, anyway, that's fantastic.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Do you have a little bonus link you'd like to share with us today before you go? I do. Our pals over at Tested got to check out something really, really neat. For the Adam's Family Show, the newer one, they had some problems. makers build a promotional gag for thing it wasn't using the show but it was used for promotional stuff it's an animatronic thing puppet my friend ben edie who's in this tested video he helped work on it it's awesome it's a little radio controlled hand that walks around oh my gosh so so good this is for the wednesday show the yeah okay all right cool uh i don't see the link did you
Starting point is 01:06:26 paste it somewhere i don't either yeah did you uh oh i posted it in the wrong i know do we do that all the time like whatever the last Discord we were in. Yeah, do not feel bad. That's where that is. It happens. Oh, that's cool. Let's take a look here. Let's show it to the chat here. Look at this here. Oh my gosh. Look at that hand. That is so cool. And that is, look
Starting point is 01:06:46 at that. That is completely autonomous. What? Yeah. That is so, look at that. The wrist even turns. Oh, that is incredible. I assume that shit is all CG. I'm blown away by that. No, it needs. It needs, it
Starting point is 01:07:02 It needs better grippies on the fingertips. That's something that they had to play with. The fingertips had to be both durable and grippy. And they aired on the side of durable. Otherwise, walking on pavement, it would just sandpaper the fingers off. Yeah, that makes sense. Very, very cool. That's so red.
Starting point is 01:07:21 They put a thing in the wrist so that it could turn as if it's like looking at someone. Yeah. They made it super puppetable. That is so cool. Something I really love to get into it to change the batteries, they have to un-stitch the wrist. So it's fully contained inside of there.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Oh. Oh, so that, okay, so you got to, that's insane. Oh, look at the, I want to drive this thing through a grocery store and just watch. That's what they did. They took it to New York for promotional stuff, and they brought it out on the street to freak people
Starting point is 01:07:54 out and filmed it. It was a pretty, pretty fun little viral marketing campaign for those show. That's so cool, with the skin off, what that thing looks like. Dang, that's amazing. That's a Terminator shit. it right there. I like that. Really is. Oh, yeah. Wow. That's like crazy. I'd love that.
Starting point is 01:08:08 It is a beefier thing than the, certainly than the 60s TV show. Oh, yeah. Which I think was just like a dude's hand bent down. It really was. Yeah, it was like green screened arm off or something like that. It always looked pretty bad, if I remember right? Yeah. But that looks amazing. All right. Well, thanks for sharing that. That's great. It's over on the tested channel. You guys go check that out if you want to see that thing in Paul. It'll also be LinkedInQuicktmS.L.I.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Nice. your home for all things we talked about. Bill, I want you to have a great time. I want you and your lovely wife to have a great week, month, year, whatever it is. Whatever you need, dude, whatever you want. We'll do it. And we'll see you soon. Bye now.
Starting point is 01:08:46 There was something that's going to ask him. Well, we were going to ask him about the hosting with jury thing. Was there something else? There was something I was going to ask about a thing that he made. This came up earlier in the week with me and Kim, and then I was like, oh, I should Bill, when he's on, I can't remember. You know, writing shit down would be good. I should do that.
Starting point is 01:09:06 Yeah, there's a note for that. There is an app for that. It's a really good app, it turns out. With full desktop integration, really no excuse not to write it down. I know, yeah. Yeah, we never do, though. We always think, we'll never forget this. I'll remember this forever.
Starting point is 01:09:21 All right, well, that was awesome. Thank you, Bill, as always. And a quick note that today at noon, you'll be able to catch a brand new episode, the monthly show called Word on the Street with Greg Street, all about his new MMO.
