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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
Austin
Austin Michael
Austin City limits
Austin
Austin Butler
Thanks Mason Gregory
I love him
He's great
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
I was standing there feeding the sand
Do you remember the sound of the wing?
I can remember feeling everything.
Back to the days when we were just a couple of keys
with a couple of big ideas.
I don't want to be any.
Where else right now?
You can see for yourself, but you just gotta look around.
Taking the seas, speaking up the pieces left out.
I don't know where we're going, but we can turn around now.
Oh oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
I don't
be
my
mother
laugh
while
I'm going
like you
know
I'm
going to
I'm
I don't
want to be
anywhere
else
right now
you know
Keep a safe place out, but you just got to look around.
I don't want to be anything other than me.
We're picking up the pieces and changing the species is never the fool get this feeling.
I don't want to be anywhere else right now
you can see when it starts but you just gotta look around
I don't want to be anything
other than me
We're picking up the knees
It's changing the species
Never gonna pull get this feel
I don't want to be anywhere else right now
You can see the plants out
But you just gotta look around
I don't want to be anywhere else right now
You can see the plants up
But you just got to look around

What was that? A kiss?
Was that a kiss?
Because, boy, if that's what kisses are going to be like from now one,
don't bother to come back at 5.30.
No one who speaks German could be an evil man.
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.
Nice.
Sutherly.
Sutherly.
Donald Sutherley.
Bill on his way in, swinging in like he does.
And we're going to make some stuff today.
He's soldering in.
Yeah, like a sexy beast.
Still something wrong, isn't there, Bill?
Oh, look who it is.
It's Bill Duran joining us as he does at least once a month.
Sometimes twice.

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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They are in the thick of some testing right now, which means a lot to say about playtests and where they're at and where they're headed.
If you are interested in all on what it takes to make a big giant MMO from scratch,
and you want to know how progress is happening over there at Fantastic Pixel Castle and Greg and his crew, now's the time to find out.
So episode 13, I believe we're on, or 12, no, 13.
So it means a year and a month we've been doing this.
Nice. That's awesome.
That'll be today. It'll be live. We'll take your questions.
All that stuff. It's up there already pre-schedgedged at frogpants.
So do join us today if you are interested.
Unless you've got anything else, Brian.
I think it's time for song.
I can't think of anything.
I mean, I can still keep talking about how I'm editing that OpenCade video together.
Today, hopefully today I'll have it up.
I got to not be so precious about it and not be like, well, I say, um, for a minute here.
And then there's no talking.
It's like, whatever.
Put it up.
People can fast for it if it gets boring.
That's right.
And I'll bet you it's not.
I'll bet it's great.
And people are going to love it.
So I can't wait to say it.
I hope so.
Yeah.
It'll be good.
All right. Let's do a song then. Let's get out of here.
Sure. Casey says, Dear Sargaris, I don't know.
And Balnazar, I don't know what those things are.
I know what Sargeras.
He says, speaking of World Warcraft, Brian, when are you going to dust off your rogue and join us in core?
We're having a good time over there. There's a spot for Rogue and Team Fusion if you want to join us.
Oh, I see Team Fusion, you butt holes. Why are you trying to not have Brian in my raid team?
we're ahead right now we're ahead of the entire core where there's a bunch of core teams we are in first right now
I think that's why you don't want me like is there is there a certain place of floor that you need me to kind of press down with my entire body that's a good point we should talk so Bobby we get with this let's get with the team later and let's figure out where we want his corpse at and then we're and then we're right in exactly place my corpse and then we'll talk uh anyway I know it's short notice is today is November 2nd when he posted or requested this but I want to put a
an request for my wedding anniversary on November 19th. Hey, lots today. It's not your typical
anniversary request. Get your Kleenex ready because my wife passed away three years ago. It's been
a long road recovering from depression brought on by her passing. I'd like to request a cover
of the song that was playing the night I proposed to her. And that song was, Can't Help Falling
in Love by the King himself, Elvis Presley. Boy, second time we've mentioned Elvis today. He's
going to die. Totally. We're going to lose him. The version I'm requesting is by one of my
favorite metal bands, Ice Nine Kills.
For that don't like
Cookie Monster vocal, for those that don't
like Cookie Monster vocals, there are none
in this. If you can't find this version, any version will be okay.
Love the show, though, Casey.
Casey, obviously. I hate
this story. I know, we've talked to him before.
Maybe it's been offline. I can't remember,
but it just wrecks me to hear about
his story. It does.
Yeah. We are all, like
you've got this community that loves you
and supports you, and man,
just it sounds like you're doing a great you're doing a better job being even able to write an email
I think than I would be able to do so even three years later so here's to you Casey yeah um and here
you know I got to play the version you want of course ice nine kills from a single that they
released in 2021 it's a very subdued ice nine kills and I totally dig it can't help falling in love
here it is we'll see you guys tomorrow
Why is messy
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love
you
Shall I stay
Would it be your sin
If I can't help
Fall in love
Like a river frost
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
So drinks
I'm here to be
Take my hand
Take my hand
All I pursue
For I can't help
Falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
So it comes
There's no place
I'm there to be
Take my hand
And take my whole life too
For I can't
help
I'm falling in love with you
So I can't help
I'm falling in love with you
