Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for May 6th of the 2025. Got to really enunciate that business, you know?

That's right. Happy wordal day, everybody. Oh, yeah. Wait, it was a wordal day. How's that work? Wordle Day. Today is Wordle Day. New York Times officially called it wordled day because it's five, six. Yeah. So it's five guesses at a six letter word. Oh. No, six guesses at a five-letter word. Wait, does this mean anybody can just pick days and say this is whatever day? Can we do one of those? Can people not already do that with shrimp scampy day and, and, uh, I guess that's true. I guess that already is happening.

So is there a shrimp scampy day? Is that really? There is a shrimp scampy day. There was a whole thing on, uh, was it John Oliver? I think John Oliver, uh, had a whole montage of clips of news, uh, local news station saying, oh today is officially shrimp scampy day i've got some shrimp at home i should scampi it oh my gosh i don't even know it scamp me now that you say that all that i don't even know what scamping is for shrimp what is it i don't think i do either i know it was a thing it was a big

whoop in the in my my teen years you would hear like shrimp scampi this week red lobster every you know every ad would feature their shrimp scampi but is it is it like a garlic butter yeah what's a scampering is that what scamping is battering oh well then just fried shrimp Is that what that is? I thought it was like a sauce that it sits in, right? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, garlic sauce, okay. Okay, Jeannie says garlic sauce.

Butterer of garlic sauce. Hey. As soon as Cleary, as Jeannie said garlic sauce, my chat disconnected. It doesn't make any sense. The hell's going on there. Oh, yeah, mine too. Garlic sauce. Did the, oh, successfully reconnected.

We're okay now, I think. Anyway, well, that's fantastic. Let's get straight to it, folks. We've got a big, big Tuesday here, just sweating, ready to bring it to you, and ready to fall out and, you know, eat. eat it or whatever. I don't know what I'm saying. Let's get straight to it. We got this, I got this Vegas thing I wanted to tell you that I totally forgot about yesterday. A couple things actually. One of them is, I almost broke the puk streak before I left. And, uh, and then on

the way was a little rough too. But, um, you know, I told Brian about this day of travel. He was already there, had seen the grateful dead. And, uh, haven't even talked about that on this show. We can save that for a future morning or a top topics. Yeah, he was in the sphere and everything for that. That was crazy. Oh, it's great. So, I go, so the night before, you know, prepped, packed, feeling good about everything, you know, ready to rock, getting mentally prepared for the, for the trip and all that. And then at about 2 o'clock in the morning, I wake up with, like, the worst, like, borderline yak-in-bed heartburn, like, so bad.

And I don't know why. I didn't eat anything weird. I think I had a little bug or something. So I woke up and I was just like, oh, my gosh. this is it my brain immediately went this is it i'm breaking the streak it's going to happen two months ahead or three months ahead of schedule because it's not even july yet i'm going to have 19 point uh 9 it's not me to make it 20 years we're almost at the 20 year mark yeah my streak was going to get kind of screwed but also as bad as i was feeling i was like i'm happy to break the streak let's just break

it let's go let's do it let's see if i if i feel this rotten when is a better time to let let loose than now if not now then when right right right so I go in there, in there, meaning the turlet room, you know, in there. And I get a little, I got a little rolled up towel for my knees, you know. I'm thinking I'll be comfortable. Got to, you know, make yourself comfy. Yeah. Have a sore knees.

I want to get rugburn. Yeah. I crank up the fan. We have a loud fan in there, and I do that so that Kim doesn't have to hear me because I'm like you. I'm really loud. At least last I checked 20 years ago. I was very loud.

And I was thinking, all right, this is it. And I'm starting to get a little gaggy. And, you know, the whole, I don't want to gross anybody out. But I'm having the moment of like, all right, this is it. It's happening. And then without any control on my part, I wanted to. I was trying to. I did all I could to do it.

I stayed up from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., trying to let my body do its natural expulsion of the offending material. It never, ever freaking happened. Ever. I wonder if there's a, if. there's some sort of mental block. Like your body is like, oh, I want to puke. I want to puke. And you're like, yes, puke.

Get this out of me. But there's like a little clicker in your mind that's like, no, must maintain the street. Yeah, it's possible there's some kind of mental thing. But even then, like there have been plenty of times in the intervening 20 years where I should have two and just can't. And this is my daughters, both are like this. I don't know, one daughter. Taylor's like, I'll just let it rip.

whatever. Maybe pregnancy does that to you, but, um, but Carter, same problem. My mother, same problem. Um, my sister, Wendy, same deal. We all struggle with this. And I don't know why. I can't figure it out. So what happens, Brian? I finally at 5 a.m. I'm like, fine, forget it. I guess I'm going back to bed, try to recover a little sleep. We're leaving early. So let's get some sleep. I get to bed. It doesn't, I don't really sleep. I feel like trash most of the morning. We get in the, you know, we wake up. Like I'm kind of moping around like a grumpy piece of crap. I get in the car. We're driving.

So it's a long six hour drive and I'm thinking, well, maybe I'm going to break it on the road. Maybe it'll be like in beaver. I'll just bra out the window in beaver or something. Nope. Just like just nauseous the whole trip, the whole ride. Which is worse. Far worse. Way worse.

I know in the heart of hearts, I'm like, if you can just let this go, you will feel better. Everyone's better. We're all better. We're all good here. And in my head, I'm also thinking, tonight I'm going. going to get dinner with Brian and if I don't feel better by then this is going to be a rotten dinner and I know we're going some more nice. You're not going to enjoy the food. You're not going to enjoy the wine. Not going to enjoy any of it. Yeah. So finally I just started feeling better at

about, eh, probably Cedar City. I started feeling better. And then it was all good from there and never bothered me again. But it's really annoying. Like, just let it go, Scott. I don't, it's not like I'm, I don't, I honestly, I know I'd, I talk. a lot about the streak, but this is not about keeping that streak alive. If I need to hurl, I need to do it. And I'm ready to go. I'm ready. But here's what'll happen. This will be the funniest result. If I get to July 5th or whatever it was, I think it was the day after the fourth, that's how I remember it. If I get to that day and just suddenly go, blah, whatever, because I, something in my brain was holding until that moment, I'm going to be so mad at my subconscious. I'm going to be mad at

myself because that's stupid. That's stupid. Because you'll know it was a mental thing. Your mind was just saying, get to 20 years. Get to 20 years. And if I can't even control that, what control do I have? Are we all just pawns of the universe? What are we? What are we doing? So anyway, it was real dumb. But I feel fine now. I feel great. In fact, these last couple days, I've had so much energy and I feel a little bad because so many got sick in Vegas. I feel bad that I feel so good. I don't know why I feel so good. I just feel like $100. I got energy.

Slept great last night. It rained all night. So that kind of kept me asleep. It was nice and cool. Dude, the last couple nights, I have slept the full night through, which I can't tell you the last time I've done that two nights in a row. Like from 10.30, waking up at quarter to six, which is when I usually get up. Unbelievable. Unless it's just the residual sickness.

But how can I keep this going? Can I get rid of the voice stuff and keep the sleep stuff? Right. Can you selectively decide which part of this you want to keep? One from column A, two from column B. Yeah, yeah. In an egg roll. That's great, though.

Given your propensity of waking up early or whatever and not being able to go back, that's great. I'm glad you got a couple of days of that. But clearly you needed it, you know, right? Your body's like, I need it. My body is, yeah, my body is saying, I need to recover. Your body was. You get back on the bike, Brian. we have a ride to do in two months.

Oh, shit. Yeah, that's coming fast. Is it even, is it end of June? End of June, it's less than two months. Yeah, it's basically, uh, eight weeks, seven weeks. Yeah. Man. All right.

Well, you know what? That's plenty of time. You'll get there. Yeah. I'm not worried about you. Yeah, yeah. Earning money for the, for the cure, for MS. The cause.

Yeah, that's right. Tiny dot CC slash bike Coverville if you still want to donate. Yeah, there's still time. And also keep an eye on Aunt Barb and Uncle. George's donation things to if you want to throw a few bucks their way I've hit my goal

if you want to donate to theirs instead that is totally a good idea so I think Lowy had a Mrs. Taffey guy had a link that she put together for Barb I'll need to find that LowyD.com slash link

That's it. Right, yes that's not it's the one. It's not even close Got to get that lowy d. All right. Here is another thing. I have a shout out for a member of our community who was in Las Vegas, who, you know, an older guy like us and super nice. And I talked to him briefly a couple of times, one time outside the golf place, the swingers golf business. And his wife has a British accent.

I don't remember her name. Apologies. I'm very bad at this. But here's the deal. I had intended and had written down. You know, I did those silly awards for, like, stuff during the live show. It was like, oh, the tackle from the back goes to Claire and all that stuff, which you will all hear if you haven't heard any of this as soon as the show goes off, just waiting for Kevin, which I will happily do because Kevin was very busy on the ground there and I'm not rushing him at all. Kevin do not feel any rush.

Anyway, he says, oh, man, I might be your most OG listener. And I said, really, how long? and he says from like day one extra life radio like the first episode and i'm like really whoa that's insane so i pull his wife aside and i said hey can i get his name i want to do one of these awards and shout him out and just give him kind of a long time award or something yeah and she says oh lovely i'd love that he would love that she had this accent and so i did it and wrote it down and then during the live show you know sometimes you look away from your doc and look back and you skip a line which just happens yeah i skipped his line that was that what happened

this. And I felt bad. So I wanted to give a shout out to Terrence. That's what she said his name was. Terrence. Although there was another nickname thing. It was kind of confusing. But Terrence, I know for sure. So Terrence, I don't remember what your award is. I don't have that handy. But it's because you was just so long time and awesome. And I just wanted you to know I didn't forget you on purpose.

That was me screwing up. My bad. You were awesome. You and your wife were lovely human beings. And anyone else who got to meet him knows this. and having you around for this long just made me happy. You've been here longer than my puke streak. That's amazing. Excellent. Yeah.

So anyway, shout out to Terrence. Thanks for coming out. Yeah, there's so many people like, you know, you think about it like, oh, we got to finally see meet TMS Mashitups, Jamie, who braved, who also braved, you know, crossing the Canadian border to make it to this. Bear and Priscilla, cute, cutest couple. they helped bring some stuff in at the arcade place when Barry and I showed up to bring in all the all the boxes they were there and we brought stuff in and that's when that's when I thought I lost my my Abby created Coverville badge. Uh-oh.

But it had just fallen into one of the wine boxes and I know people. Exactly. Yes. I don't know why that's ironic and great, but it is. I like it is. It is. Like Barry found the next day is like, by the way, Brian, I found your coverville badge. I spent probably, you know, half an hour.

I know Shelly was searching for it. Tina had her light on her phone. We're kind of running around the place. A lot of people were looking for it. Ducey was going to go back the next day for some other thing and see if they found it. Sure. Yeah.

He had it right there in the one. You know what? Barry's done that. Now that's twice he saved us. He found your badge. And I was panicking because we couldn't find the checkoff list for who got bags and who didn't. And we really need that to determine who didn't get bags. Yeah.

And every year I'm very careful about that. It's always in my bag before I leave. We get home and go, shit. We didn't get it. It was in there when we left. Where did it go? And we were scrambling trying to figure out what this list is. And then I, like, right around the time I'm at peak panic on that, get a text from Barry going,

I think you guys left the list. Here it is, scanned in, ready to go and just sent it over. Barry's a lifesaver, man. Lifesaver, Barry. He's a lifesaver, yeah, yeah. Thanks, Barry. You're great. you're the master of unlocking

it turns out it wasn't Jill at all it was you Jill Brian I want to hear about Thunderbolts finally Astrox Astrox Thunderbolts or whatever Oh dude

Let me tell you Marvel's back baby Oh Yeah I would say this is Probably best best MCU films since Guardians 3

Maybe even before that Like this feels This is a way more solid film. Oh, look at this. Clara's already worried I'm going to spoil it. Brian never spoils. He's good at this.

There's so much, so much cool stuff in this. Freaking Lewis Pullman. What a surprise on this guy. He's your Robert Reynolds. Kind of the guy they show in the trailer as being this kind of mousy dude. He is the son of Bill Pullman. He looks just like his dad. He does.

He totally does. He looks like he's about to get up and do a presidential speech after the aliens attack or something. He looks just like him. Yeah. Anyway. Definitely better than Brave New World. You know, I liked aspects of Brave New World, and there's references to it in this that are really good.

Finally, Marvel doesn't waste a post-credit sequence. Oh, very nice. I like that. Yeah. Yep. Did they give you the two? What should people stick around for? I guess is what I'm asking.

What's your advice? Do they give you a mid and a post? stick around for both and we saw people leaving before both of them uh like the three people leave before before even the mid and the mid you know you get you get stuff marvel's good about giving you stuff to look at in the credits before the mid credit sequence right like it's their way of saying here's who's in this film and they give you some really cool stuff to uh uh to look at uh Julie Ui Dreyfus is fantastic as your Valentina Allegra de Fontaine

I love that Strika Gray she got going on there Yes yeah It's cool Let's see It's boy I'm not going to give anything away It's a really really good ensemble piece Every one of these characters

Maybe with one exception It gets a very good amount of screen time and backstory and delivery and stuff like that. I think you have a little bit of time to watch Ant Man and the Wasp to get your introduction to Ghost of the characters in there that you get the backstory of Ghost

in Ant Man and Wasp. I think you also get her a little bit in Quantumania. I can't remember if we get her a little bit. Oh, I don't remember. We did see that. We saw it together, right? Do we do a watch along with that? Or didn't we? I saw it.

We did. I don't remember. I think I saw it with you. Yeah. I think we did. I think we watched it together because we laughed at the modoc stuff. Oh, right. That's right.

Yeah. Who will ever forget the modoc stuff is a good way putting it stuff. Yeah. TV's Travis says, no. She's not in Quantum Media. Okay, so it's just Atman Loispe. Yeah, it's worth watching that. Oh, you watched Quantum Radio with Travis for Wait, you haven't seen.

Oh, is that what I did? Yeah. These all, we either film sacked it. I did it for Travis or I did it with Brian. I got no other reference point for this thing. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to see it this weekend, so this is all great news. How is...

You really enjoy it. We get an answer to why there's an asterisk. Oh, really? Yep. Is it a satisfying, like, you know... Very satisfying. Okay. I like it.

Yep. Very smooth, very satisfying. Like a black man. Yep. Exactly. It's an old reference, everybody. Go listen old T-Mess is. It's an old reference. It's not us.

weird. It's a Riker quote. Yeah. By the way, Jake Schreier, your director here, I hadn't heard of him, but we all know him from a million really good things. He directed a ton of beef, that show beef, which people liked a lot. He did some skeleton crew. Based on that Instagram video I showed you earlier today, right? That one's called Not Enough Fiber in Your Life. I don't know what we call that one but uh no he's he's mostly a tv guy but um no one directed some conier west stuff old old videos before conya went weird oh he was the director uh or at least two episodes of that brand new cherry flavor thing we loved that oh so good so weird but so good love that um all right well

we're going this weekend any other uh any other thoughts before uh i see it anything should look for it is going to it's just going to make you eager for the next marvel movie that comes out this year nice it's going to make you anticipate some some fantastic four business oh my gosh you buried the lead wendell pierce she he's in this oh yes right yes he is in this yeah i love him dude he's great he doesn't give us a she but he does uh it'd be funny that was the first thing i'd say in my head when he shows up yeah that's all i can think of when i see that guy i love him love him everything he's in is great i love wendell pierce more wendy fenton absolutely Absolutely. To see Thunderbolts start before Fantastic Four.

Yeah. Do it. All right. I'm going to see. You know what? My goal is, because we're going to see it this weekend. We were going to last weekend. Joss and Chelsea also went to Vegas. There are neighbors and friends. They were going to see it with us. And Chelsea got sick. So they got whatever you got. The girls have the freaking COVID. We're like, you know what? Let's give it a week. Yeah, give it a week. Exactly. We'll see it this weekend. We're excited. The best sinners, which I think Tina and I might see, it was going to be Thursday, it might have to be this weekend, because it looks like it's going to be a full month of trivia Thursdays, except for Mission Impossible Thursday on the 22nd. Well, I can tell you that sinners, as of now, is the coolest thing I've seen all year without any question. Oh, very cool. I freaking loved it. All right, well, there's that. Very excellent. Oh, a couple quick things.

We've got a little PSA here. We got a text from an anonymous person who said, unless it's time, I'm sorry, unless it's just me, the TMS feed on Spotify is missing a ton of episodes. Just in April, my feed goes from episode 2802 to 2806 and 2011 to 24, 208, sorry, 2811 to 2814. You are correct. Here's the deal. Brian knows a lot about this because he had to deal with a similar thing. Irritating as hell. For some reason, Spotify went on a tear in the last 30 days.

or so, we're just checking everything and saying, up, you don't have the rights to play these songs. And of course, we play songs here on the show, that Brian fully has the rights to play on the show. He pays for those rights. Works hard to keep those rights. So we know we have them. But Spotify has no great way of proving anything.

They're worse than YouTube in this regard. They really are. Like, you know, I've even submitted, here's, there's the appeals thing. So I like say, yes, I have the right to do this. Oh, is it from one of these three agencies? It's like, no, it's from ASCAP, BMI, and CSEC. I pay the royalties because they're covers.

And I get permission from the artists or the labels because they send it to me and say, here's permission. And it's borked. It's borked. And so what's happened is they've stripped a bunch of TMS episodes, not a ton, but enough that. And by the way, I peeled all these. It didn't matter. I did the same thing Brian's talking about. They're just like, you know, we're taking them off the thing.

it's like you bastards so i already don't like spotify for a bunch of other reasons that have nothing to do with this now i really dislike them so i'm not saying don't get your podcast through spotify we're going to keep publishing and having them go there but those rSS feeds are accessible with every other app you can think of every other method to get spotify's kind of dicks about this and it's irritating because you know when when i'm driving somebody in the lift in the uber and um they find out i have a podcast They ask me about my license plate or something like that. Or they say, why do you keep playing this show over and over again on this 20-minute ride?

You know, I tell them about the podcast and they say, oh, can I get it on Spotify? And I want to say, well, you can get it everywhere besides Spotify. I really do. Yeah, same. I want to say it. But I also know it's a sizable audience. It's, unfortunately, it's what people who don't know much about podcasting think is the way to get podcasts. Yeah, they were already over there because of their music and then suddenly podcasts seemed

like they were invented on Spotify, which is insane. We appeared on Spotify, yeah. Everybody go get Pocketcasts. Download, it's free. Pocket cast is awesome. It's on Android and iOS. It is great. They're syncing.

There's all sorts of options. They're really cool people there, too. They've featured us before just because they like us. Like, it's human beings doing human shit over there. And they don't send me emails going, we're not sure you had rights to play that cover of, you got, you got what I need. you know, whatever. Like so, support, support.

Teddy Pendergrass reference there. It's very good. I love it. I like that you remembered it was Teddy Pendergrass as I couldn't remember. Yes. That was a good combo of function there. Anyway, I... Can somebody confirm that chapters, chapters work on pocketcast, right? I don't know.

Maybe? Or was that only an ACC thing that only worked on Apple stuff? I don't know. No, no. it's a, it's a, it's a ACC thing that, that was working in every other major, uh, y'all find out. Okay. Not, not, not this second, but I'll find out. Yeah. For those out there listening, my recommendations on iOS are pocketcast number one. Overcast is also excellent. I like Overcast, downcast. Downcast is great. Yeah. Yeah. All good. There's all good,

there's tons of good stuff. You don't need it with your little musicy service. Even if you want to keep paying for and using Spotify, that's fine. ahead go ahead and use the joe rogan app it's fine with me it's fine we're just we're just tired of fighting spotify on this stuff yeah anyway there's that thank you for that um and then finally a call about graduation ceremonies and i really like this idea Nicole is not listening i don't think but if she was i'll send this to her separately but we got to play this here you go hey snoochooooches uh this is tybm i was just thinking wouldn't it be great if we could get Nicole Spiagan, the Lolo, to do all of the future high school graduation ceremony announcements?

I agree, dude. I agree. Let's do it. Oh, that's great. Love it. She's such a good sport about that. But, yeah, she loves her, or we love her mispronunciation of names. It would be more fun than that, the one from last year.

If who day. Jaseku for Jessica. Jisiku, uh, smife. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she would be, maybe she'd even be down, but also this is a new permanent sound clip. Spiaginalolo. I'm keeping that forever, man.

I got to do that for intro. Spiaginalolo. Spiaginololo. Anyway, there you go. That's our front. Oh, by the way, you can send your calls in like that dude and also the texter guy. You can send that stuff into voicecast.com. S.

Please do. Now this. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Daily Music Headlines. Yes, I might have no voice on TV. But at least I have no voice on Daily Music Headlines, too. On today's episode, you'll find out about some new music coming from Soundgarden. What?

It's really old music that they're going to try and release. New music from the faces, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Woods old band that is mostly good. And you won't hear about the new ghost-inspired dildos because I told him and I wasn't going to do that story. All this and more at daily music headlines.com. Ghost the band, like with the Pope guy and all that. Ghost the band with the, yeah, they have brand new dildos that they have, that they're coming out with for Mother's Day. Wonderful. It looks like, it looks like the Pope or the, I guess, Popa Five perpetua.

Oh my gosh. That's great. I love it. Let me tell you something. They want to make a new Pope, have that guy be the Pope. Get him in there. No, I think it should be, we should get Pope Pizza Bala. Oh, yeah, that guy should win, yeah, with his name.

Totally. Pope Pizza ball. They change their names, though, when they get Popey. That sucks. I want Pope pizza, pizza Pope. Right. You should, you know, if he has to change his name, have him change it to post or Pope Papa John or something like that.

Oh, I love it. Pope Papa John. Just put it. It's always, they do John's a lot. Put a Papa in front. Yeah, Papa John. Like Father, Papa. It's all good.

The Holy Father, the Holy Papa, pizza. Anyway, hey, I got a, I got a story here for you. I think you'll enjoy because we actually experienced this. And it was weird because I had this story queued before we left. Wow. Kept it in because I always get to them, right? Eventually. And then while we're at Vegas, getting ready for the thing,

someone brings us a tube of this stuff. But I'll introduce it and then I'll explain how gross it is because it's gross on two levels. One, how it tastes and the other how it looked. How it looks. And Brian really helped illustrate how it looked. Holy crap. Anyway, KFC. You know, the Kentucky fried chicken, the colonel, right?

Yeah. Introduced fried chicken flavored toothpaste, and we tried it live on TMS Vegas, our live show. KFC has introduced a calorie-free and fluoride-free. I don't know if that's good. I'd rather have some fluoride. Yeah. Yeah, that's weird. Oh, you cut out.

Sorry, something to the internet. Oh, I know you're back. Okay. Yeah, I feel like fluoride is something you want in toothpaste. We want it in our water, too. But I'm going to be taking it out of the water as well. Look, I don't want to make fun of somebody's impediment. I think that guy sucks ass, and so he qualifies for a little fun-making.

That's all I'm saying. Exactly. He leaves the self-open. Jerk. He's a jerk. Anyway, where was I? The New York Post reported on April 9th that the toothpaste flavor is inspired by all KFCs 11 herbs and spices. I would disagree. Tried it. I'm not so sure.

Oh, it's so horrible. Not so sure they did it. But anyway, they claim the toothpaste is irresistible, coding your teeth and flavor before leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean. Disagree. Yep. Disagree. I can resist it very easily. Not not irresistible in the slightest. Full resistance. KFC partnered with toothpaste manufacturer, manufacturer, his smile or his smile. Or high smile, maybe. I hope it's not Hymns smile, if you know what I'm saying. Hymns for him's smile. To produce the paste for limited time, it is available only on Hymns smile or

or his smile, his mile website for $13 if it's not already sold out. But wait, there's more. You also snap up the KFC branded electric toothbrush with set you back 59 bucks. All right, here's the deal. We get a tube of this stuff. I don't know where that ended up. Somebody, I don't have it. I don't have it either.

It was back on our table, the producer's table for a while, and I don't know where it ended up. Maybe Hammond grabbed it. He was doing some stuff back there. Hammond, if you have that, let us know, and I'll get it when I get the print. Anyway, this stuff comes in a tube. That's fine. It's got a little KFC written on it. Got the kernel, a little logo. All of that presentation, no problem. You squeeze it out, though, because we're just going to squeeze a little on our finger and do a little taste test for the show. That ain't looked like no toothpaste to me. That looks like spunk. Yeah. It looks like manseed. Look like manseed. Like baby batter. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, nothing wrong with that. This is how life is made. And, you know, we're not disparaging the natural, the body's natural ability to produce. offspring or any of that business but you know it was gross you know it may make you question uh when you brush your teeth if you want to spit or swallow is the uh i knew one of us would go there

and i was pretty sure it'd be brian but i wasn't sure who was gonna go there happy to go there for us yeah and it tasted okay so it'd be one thing if it looked that disgusting but then you'd taste it and you go yeah this is really bad doesn't taste like chicken it just tasted no no like that's It really doesn't. It didn't taste like 11 herbs and spices. It just had a bad taste to it. Really bad. Highly recommend not getting it unless you.

Not even a flavor that I could put my, that I could put my finger on. That was unintentional. No, no, not at all. Yeah, I did not have a flavor I was, I don't even know what to compare it to it. I don't even know what to call it. I just know it wasn't good.

I can tell you that. Of all the flavors I've tried that weren't good, this is one of those. Excuse me. so there's that I guess if you want to go buy it it's still available though they're acting like it's a hot deal come on now ain't nobody want this shit

let's see if it's still available actually I'm going to find out sold out oh it is sold out yeah KFC two-faced people are probably returning it though yeah I mean sending this stuff back to the kids smile website yeah see that's what it looks like there's the tube right there in the center

that's what the other thing looks like I don't know you know this whole thing we're like it's like Yeah, you're gonna, soda pop tastes like a whopper. I'm like, why? Why are we doing that? Right, roughly these new things, the candle that smells like, I wasn't going to do the Gweth Paltrow, but there was someone that did a candle that smells like pizza or something,

like dominoes came out of the candle. Oh, right. It was like a, which sounds a little better, like at least I like the smell of baking pizza, but I'm going to guess it's not, it doesn't work, right? Yeah, you know? The best smelling candle I've gotten, a long time was this one that the threads people sent me which is ironic because i'm really hard

on threads i don't know why they sent me shit really trying to get you back like win you back smells great though man i mean they just put their label on it so it's somebody else but this candle's awesome and it's not you know gwyneth paltrow's uh potato farmer whatever the hell she's doing there it's uh yeah no the the the coke Oreo crossover thing No, one of those were great. No, those were bad, right? Yeah. If I remember right.

It's a publicity stunt that just gets them attention for a little while. I'm trying to think of what would, there was one recently that we were looking at and saying, oh my God, this is like gone to new levels, but I can't remember what it was. I don't know what that was either. I always feel this way about the black bun Halloween hamburgers. Oh, the one that, yeah, that's the one that, well, let's just say it would have turned the front of that guy's hood green. Yeah, he would have had a very different color day. Should have waited until October lady.

That's right. Exactly, yes. Oh, man. I don't remember either. It was something recent. And we were just like, that's a... Was there some mac and cheese thing? Or something.

And again, it was like this where you have a sweet where savory shouldn't be or savory where... It was like one of those crossovers. And it's like a limited time thing. Was there a Captain or a Captain Crunch or a Cinnamon Toast Crunch? oh now you're getting close to it yeah that's very familiar oh soup drops that's one of them oh yeah we talked about that yeah the soup drops that's gross yeah soup drops what is this what world are we in where you're eating soup and drop form come on man yeah lozenge form that's like they do that in a matrix to live or whatever they do the ones that are aware and are out of the pods right

They have to eat gruel and shit that doesn't taste good. That's what they do is soup drops. Hey, post Malone made Oreos, we'd try those. I haven't heard of that. Oh, for sure. Chuck says that. They apparently did. Yeah, I said that they're pretty good.

Cadusti brought up the mac and cheese ice cream. Yeah, that is, what, Llewellyn or something? Yeah. We have a Llewellyn's ice cream here in Denver. They have all the weird flavors. I got to go try it. Like, they have. That sounds all right.

Llellan? Something Llewellin? Oh, I can remember what the name of the ice cream place is. It just reminds me of Josh Brolin's character. and no country for old men, Lou Ellen. Such a man's name. Yeah, there they are. Post Malone. What is in these? These look actually kind of good.

That might be peanut butter or something. Oh, the swirl. Yeah, I like that. Oreo Chaucee. Trying to see what the flavor is. Okay, Posty, swirled, salted caramel and cornbread, sorry, shortbread flavor cream. Sandwich between the bottom golden Oreo wafer and the top chocolate wafer.

I would eat this. Oh, and they're different designs. They're not all swirls. them are different. Oh, oh, look at these. Oh, the guitar. Oh, that's cool. Look at that. Man, he's such a goob. It's not a Pikachu where he's going, I only want to be with

you. I forgot about that cover. I really like his cover of that. That cover was really good. Yeah. He, so his canes here in Salt Lake, his canes in Midbell, I guess. Yeah. I really want to go, but every time we go, wrap around traffic. It's impossible to get it. Really?

Yeah, one of these days. Because they got some stuff in there that's post malone only i guess he uh things pretty good for a guy who looks like you fell down a staircase carrying a box of sharps yeah permanent sharpy face um all right where are we now let's do this story okay a rabbit you know like a bunny sure not the uh the the renamed golf for the u.s market in the 1970s and 80s wow okay look at that deep dive that was a deep dive I had a rabbit GT or GTI. They have to explain what a golf is to people. Oh, that's true.

Yeah, Volkswagen Golf and the Rabbit were the same vehicle. They just had a different name. Now it's all golf everywhere, including here. But the GTI, Rabbit GTIs were freaking the bomb. I love those cars back in the day. Anyway, a rabbit, not car, sparks mid-flight engine fire on a United Airlines flight. And I would say, I'm rarely surprised when United does some dumb shit. because it's always done over there.

Oh, did you see a thing you say where Newark Airport, the people at work there are saying don't come here, it's not safe or something? The flight, the traffic controllers, right? Yeah, they're saying I would not come to Newark. We're not safe right now. Jeez. Holy shit.

No kidding. What do you do if you've got a flight booked? Do you pay the money and say, all right, well, route me through LaGuardia. Yeah. What did Monica, did Monica, I don't know where Monica flies for her trips, but. Yeah, she probably would fly through Newark. I think she was saying when we had her on that that's her closest airport. That's bad.

Why is it so bad there? Bramble Bright says it too. I wonder if it's, um, is there something specific or is it have to do with these cuts, or what's the deal? I wonder. They were landing blind. Wow. Oh my gosh. I don't like any of this.

No. This is all bad news. Well, anyway, here's the deal with this stupid rabbit. But on April 13th, the United Airlines flight from Denver. Uh-huh. You know the one. You've been there. Been there.

A lot. Quite a bit. And ironically, that was my terrible time in that airport was because of a united mistake. And I had to run. Your connection on two different, two different freaking terminals. It takes forever to get just from, you know, one terminal baggage claim, let alone one terminal to another terminal. Yeah. And a seven-year-old daughter who was very tired and very upset.

But it sucked. Anyway, they experienced an engine fire shortly after takeoff when a rabbit was sucked into the aircraft's right engine. Passengers report loud noises, heavy vibrations, visible flames, and a bunch of colored eggs. It's a little weird, right? Oh, I may have mad at that. I may have made that part up. Thank you, Mr. Buddy. Bok, bach, bach, bach, b!

Let's see, the Boeing 737, 800 carrying 153 passengers and six crew members remained airborne for approximately 75 minutes before safely returning to Denver. While wildlife strikes are not uncommon, incidents involving rabbits are very rare, with only four being reported in 2024. Usually it's birds, I guess, right, going in there? Right. Do you have a lot of rabbits out there where you live? Like rabbit? Yeah. Yeah, rabbits are, and this, and, you know, DIA is out on the planes.

The runway is like right in the middle of a whole bunch of fields and planes, like PLA-I-N-S. Not PLA-N-E-S, too, of course. Yeah. but yeah no rabbits uh rabbits uh rabbits all over that area prairie dogs things like that so damn just the fact that the engines can suck up a rabbit who's probably just running like ah yeah he sucks them right in they should do they should instead of this poncetani fill crap they should do whenever a rabbit gets sucked into a plane in denver it means eight more weeks of spring or something you know what i mean sure there we go yes i like this idea i don't know why this isn't a thing or uh you know what spring when the first rabbit gets sucked into a United Airlines engine. I feel bad for it, but also nature. What are you going to do? Yeah.

Listen, he never felt a thing. No. I think he's on. Yeah, you're right. That's a good point. I don't think that rabbit has any idea. That is the quickest pain-free death possible. You are, poof.

You are Thanos is what you've been. This reminds me. My wife, my wife, and I were sitting watching, we were in the previews before sinners started and they did a trailer for the new rebooted what's a call where the world's trying to kill you

because you avoided death final destination oh final destination yeah we did one on film I don't remember which one was it the one with the backyard barbecue? No that this is oh yeah it is with the dude in the back and he stepped on glass and all that

that whole thing she's not familiar with that series at all and so we just kind of watched it blindly and I'm looking at her kind of out of the corner of my eye She's just going like this, just like really concerned. Yeah. And it goes from beginning all the way to the end.

And she looks at me and she goes, what in the literal F was that? And I said, I had to explain the premise again. I'm like, well, okay, this is based on old movies. So there's a little nostalgia here that's telling part of the story for people. So they get excited because they know this is Final Destination, their favorite 90s horror series, blah, blah, blah. And so I said that. And then I said, the deal is if you avoid death by accident, premonition, whatever, is, then death will find a way to get you eventually. And in this case, it's called bloodlines

because it's all your, none of you were supposed to be born. The grandmother was supposed to die. So all these kids and grandkids shouldn't exist. So death's coming for all of them. And she's like, I don't ever want to see that. And I said, oh, well, you know, we don't need to see that. We don't have to see that. We don't have to see that together. No, no. But I will see it. He doesn't need to see it for film sack. Yeah. I do want to see it. I'd like that. those movies they're stupid and i love them so the previous trailer had a dude and a tattoo shop and it's and it is the greatest three minutes of rube goldberg level this has to happen to cause this and then this has to happen to cause this yeah it's it's really really good if anything it's

kind of ridiculous and that's why i'm all in on it it's yeah it's gone a little bit more like the first one was less tongue-in-cheek kind of humor this one is uh this one feels like they're embracing that, which I'm totally all in on. Yeah, I'm good with it. And if we film sacked it like soonish after it comes out, I'd be fine with that. It'd be fun. Yeah. Should we, are we, how many of those do we need to still watch on film sack to get cut up? I think it's everything but the one. I think we only did the first. Did we only do one? Oh, geez. Yeah. Pretty sure we've only done one. I don't know how many there are. It's like four of them or something. Three? Yeah. I don't actually know. But we saw that. I thought there were seven or something. There might be way more. I don't

no. I remember, I remember, Brambo writes three more. So we did, okay, Brambeau says we did one and two. So, um, oh, we did. Are there, are there five then? I remember one where a giant, I just remember a giant log coming through somebody's windshield. It's the only memory I have. Yeah, that's, that's two. Because one is the airplane.

Oh, we did do that. So we've done two. They all avoid the death in the airplane. Then the second one is the highway with the logging truck. So we could do a third, we don't have to wait until Halloween. But we could do a third and fourth somehow between October, and then this fifth one we can do October and make it a big Halloween deal because it'll be on video by then. Yeah, probably. So, yeah, this one is the sixth.

Bloodlines is the sixth one. The fourth one is called The Final Destination. And then they went back to Final Destination Five. Yeah. Whenever they say Final, Final Nightmare. Right, right. The Final Freddy or, yeah, Final Nightmare or... They're lying to you every time.

Right. Right. Yeah, never believe it. Every single time. I feel like that's part of the fun is that you hear a final and you're like, it's the last one. No, that's the joke. It won't be the last one.

It'll come back. Well, anyway. Oh, three is a roller coaster. Okay. Oh, that sounds fun. Four is a race, like a NASCAR kind of track deal. No, that sounds less cool. Five is a bridge.

Oh, a bridge? Wait, there's a, so there is a fifth. Yeah, the one that's coming. out is the sixth one. Oh, I thought it was the fifth. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm in. I like all this stuff. Let's get a third one in quick. It's all stupid. Are there any where the actors persist throughout? Like, is the old lady and the new one where her grandkids are, is that lady from previous? Let's see if they've got, I'd love it when they have the, yeah, here we go. Allie Larder of her. She and Tony Todd appear in Final Destination 1 and 2. And he's in the trailer for this new one. right he is he's in five he's in bloodlines and uh she's in before he died i guess she's in both she and tony todd are in final destination five although she's probably in a flashback i mean she got she got time she just finished that land land man show she can do it or not land man she's in that i need to still need to watch she's excellent but her character's going to drive you up a

tree really uh you need to see it so i can talk somebody about it shit i because i love her and I thought she was awesome. It's just a person she's playing. Maybe you want to break things. A hateful character. She's just freaking terrible. Good, good show though. And Tony Todd looking all skinny in that trailer, but I guess that was right before he passed.

Anyway, on that happy note, let's take a break. When we come back, Bill will be here talk about making things. He's fresh off Vegas as well, hoping he made it. Sweet. Without getting sick, that'd be good. That's coming up after this break. Brian brought a song that Spotify will probably hate. What do you got?

Probably will. It's the Atari's. You know these guys. They have a brand new song out called Car Song. Their upcoming album is coming out. Let's see. We don't have a date for the new album. No, we don't have a date for the new album.

There's a new album coming out. I don't even think we have a name for the new album. Wow, we're early. Upcoming Untitled album. There we go. But we do have the first single. It's called Car Song. they're also going to be revisiting their song

in this diary with two fresh versions, a newly re-recorded 2025 studio version and a brand new acoustic rendition. But this is car song. Here are the Atari's. Now you rest amongst the rust of these roadside monuments. In all their former glories

and driving nights that came and went. You've fought on heart the rain beaten, nights past the shadows of state lines now this victory dance it belongs to you and I out past the cold dark deserts serenade on these indian summer nights out past the cold dark desert towns under the neon veiled starlights We crossed the Mason Dixon, same with pastures gold and green Now darling won't you come on home to me I was born in the blizzard of 1977 I sell part with dies up in California

Lay me down until the night Under a veil of the best I light Just meet West girls got nothing on California California The winter sky is weeping The factories lie in their graves Like Cold War artifacts Marching in some ghost parade

We watched the streets of fire Fall and crumble into the sea Well darling, won't you Come along to me I was born in the blizzard of 1977 I fell part with died to burn California Lay me down to the night

Under a veil in the past I lie Don't you take me home Won't you take me home? After all the tears I cried for you All the times I tried to let you go Lay me down Under the sadness of this life Darling take me up

Won't you take me up Now you rest amongst the rust Of these roadside monuments In all of former quarries The neon nights that came and went You fought on heart through rain-beaten nights Pass the shadows of state lines Now this victory dance

It belongs to you and I I I was born in the blizzard of 1977 A car crashed hard With eyes in California Bring me down To the night

Under the silence of this life Don't you take me home Would you take me? I was born in the blizzard in 1977 I called Crash Heart with eyes that burn California Leave me down to the night Hunter a veil of the best all I His meat whiskers got nearly out of California

We're home, Donnie. Phone drinking, dude. Thank you, Donnie. You kill yourself. I'll cut off your big deal and you ain't never going to get to heaven. And we're back. that was again so I can go buy that. Sure. Those are the Atari's with their brand new song,

car song. It's from their upcoming album, which we don't know what's called, and we don't know when it comes out. But this is the first song from it. There you go. This means we're early birds. We're early access. Exactly. Exactly. What the wrong with that? All right. Punish props incoming. Yay. That's weird. Oh, that's why. Bill enjoyed his first time as a Taskville victim, I mean, a contestant. I thought he was great.

Him and him bringing those hazmat suits and all that stuff. Not hazmat, but whatever. Oh, my God. And that, uh, the, so, uh, they, they came, or he said, oh, we've got these suits. And Tom, I think is going to fit in the one that, that Brit wears. And so, um, I said, oh, well, do a thing where you, like, snap your fingers and then we'll free, we'll, like, fix it so that you guys instantly appear in the suits. And so, so, so, so, you'll,

Oh, perfect. All right. One, two, three, snap. But they were miss, like, he and Tom couldn't get the snap quite right. So it was like snap, snap. And KT-D-8 was able to do it so that when the snap, snap, like, changed one at a time until both of them were wearing the suit. That was freaking great. Yep. I loved everything about it. Well, let's do a proper intro here. There's still something wrong, isn't there, Bill? Ah, there's nothing wrong with Bill and punish props.com and actually, you know, seeing it and hanging. him around with Bill was it's always fun man it's always good so good yeah Bill how you doing did you did you avoid the illnesses that everybody else got I hope uh no I'm doing all right no COVID I took a test just a head and cold yeah I think there was like three things floating around a simple head cold that I think that James got that I think uh yeah a few other people like

you got it then there was this flu thing that Chuck and Brian and and uh Chelsea and these few other people got it was gnarly as hell and now I guess poor Amy she should really got hit with it. Yeah. And then there was, there was the COVID strain. And then somehow, magically, with COVID strain. Oh, was hers COVID also?

I didn't know that. And the game you may have came in with flu stuff and left with COVID. Oh, my gosh. She was vulnerable. And then something got, got COVID at her. Oh, that sucks. Sucks.

But I don't know. I still feel like I'm walking on eggshells. I don't know how I didn't get it. Got two kids in the house, I have it. I got, Kim and I, some out of all right. Okay. I know.

I know. I know. It sounds like I'm bragging. I promise I'm not. I just, I feel, I feel like a guy, I feel like a guy at the, you know what, it's like final destination. That's what it feels like. I avoided death, but it's coming for me now, you know? Right, right. I know how I got sick.

Making out with Gary. I hugged everyone. Yeah. Yeah. I hugged a lot of people too, but did you hug Gary? I still say Gary was patient zero for everybody. Did you hug? I, uh, surprisingly.

Yeah. I spent a good amount of time chatting with Gary. Yeah. He's a good dude. gummy and I very reluctantly turned it down only because I didn't want to have my first experience with a with a gummy like that at, you know, right before I have to be on stage or go play golf with everybody or something. Yeah, you never know how it's going to be until you do the first one.

And that's your, that was absolutely the right move to make. He gave me one as well. And then I ended up tucking it away for later and I don't know where it is now. It's somewhere in a bag. So I got COVID I got COVID Gummy somewhere in the house And I'll let you know how it goes

Well Bill I'm glad you're feeling a little bit better And I hope you had a great As good a time as we did Because we really loved it So good So much fun Basically it's like a family reunion Yeah

A lot of people I haven't seen her I haven't seen Nicole since before the pandemic Yeah It's so good hanging with her I don't think I've seen her physically since then either She came in 2019 or 2018 Yeah

And then pandemic came, and then you guys saw them because you guys lived in Colorado. Right. Well, we, it's funny, we, she, she left a sourdose starter on her curb for, for me and Tina during the pandemic. And then they moved before we got to see them, because they moved during the pandemic, during the end of the pandemic, and during lockdowns. And we didn't see them again until they came back through Denver a couple times. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's weird. how that worked out she's such a sweetheart though it's really good having her and uh just every

you know bill's right it's like a family reunion with a bunch of people that aren't you know related it doesn't matter you know we're hugging we're swapping diseases it's great it's just a good time uh well bill what you've been up to what do you want to talk about today i well i took the opportunity being in las vegas to get back into another creative hobby Surprise, surprise. I got back into film photography. Oh, yes. Yeah.

Yeah. I got questions about this, but please continue. Awesome. Well, let me get prime you. So I used to be, you guys know I was into photography, but back in the day, I was very into film photography. I shot a lot of black and white when I was in school. My mom taught high school photography, so I've been in the black room, or the, not the black room, the dark room, since I was like seven years old. I had a Canon T50 camera that I lost in the early aughts.

And that was when I switched to digital. So it's been more than 20 years since I put a roll of film in a camera. And I got a bunch of friends who are getting back into film. So I figured now is the time. Let's do it. Vegas is a great place to go shoot photos. Sure. I bought a Nikon F4.

This is an older camera, right? Like this is not a new camera. 1988 this thing came out and my favorite thing is if you want to get into film right now you can go buy the best film camera the best one mine was 200 bucks on eBay

brand new these things were like three grand in the 80s right if you were a sports photographer or a photojournalist this was the camera to get so it's got all the features which I love all the features and knobs and buttons and bits and everything you know it's weird though at first glance

when you see the body that you brought it could be in the so little has changed about the general overall look of those things that i yeah i just assumed it was something new and then you went no this is this one from the 80s and sure enough like things like the knowing what your aperture setting is is is a series of mirrors yes oh so my god so cool it um it uh it's just fun to play with they had to be so clever with like it's it's powered by four double a batteries so where the heck do you put four double a batteries in that thing. It's in the handle. You got to like unscrew this thing to take it off

and these batteries are just crammed in there. There isn't a millimeter wasted in that thing. Wow. Really impressive. Now I flew to Vegas without any film. Oh shit. They don't sell film in airports anymore. I checked. Jesse, you can't get it at the ABC store on

free on street. No. I had to find a camera store, but there was a camera store in Vegas. They had a whole counter just for film like I was impressed they had an amazing selection of film I bought three rolls I got a 400 ISO it's a pretty good middle ground but we ended up shooting in in the bar in the arcade where it's quite dark I could have got like an 800 ISO which would be a little more sensitive I got this is all color I'm not processing these photos myself I'm going to send

them off to get done oh it's going to ask if you're going to black a black room I did it too dark room knows yourself or not no the plan And eventually is to build a little black and white dark room. The enlargers and stuff are not expensive. You go on Craigslist. You'll find tons of them. So eventually I'm going to build a little black and white dark room for myself. But these were just color.

And 63, not 66 shots in a roll. And it's shooting with film. Really? It was so thrilling. You know why? It's because it's scary as shit. You don't know if it's going to work. And you're not.

going to know until you send it out and get it back you won't know even until then there's so many times and i was kind of making a joke of it i like see someone and i'd like aim it at them and they notice the camera and i go nope nope nope nope nope because i really wanted to get like candid photos of people playing arcades and stuff right yeah yeah so i did a lot of like i took of all the shots i lined up i took less than half of them yeah so many times i was like no no no no i just i got to get it right and then i took a picture i took a picture midzula and i told them that's it you get one frame buddy yeah there's no like you know pull out your camera and take 60 shots of something and pick one of your favorites or whatever this thing is like precious frames

you can't you can't just waste them on anything or anybody you know and i've got i have my phone on me so i could take um i could take photos if i wanted to just blast a bunch of photos with my phone i could i could satisfy that yeah but i actually think i took two rolls so 72 shots i may have took more film shots than phone shots. More than I took. I always forget to take pictures while we're doing that. And that's funny. Even though I'm the photographer, I frequently

forget to take photos at things like this. So having the still the film camera, it was on my mind. So I was doing like event photography, which ironically is the first thing I did for TMS. It wasn't even TMS back then. No, just nerdtacular.

So do you, so when you get these back, you'll share them with all of us, right? Put them in the Discord and stuff because I really want to see how some of that arcade stuff turned out. Yeah, definitely. It might all be blurry.

I don't know because it was so dark and I was shooting aperture priority so it chooses the shutter speed for me which means it may have chose a shutter speed that was a little slow but we'll find out. We'll find out. Nothing wrong with a little retro smear

you know? Yeah, right? A little. A little. So we'll see. There's a website. I think it's the darkroom. dot com something like that there's a website i'm going to go to i'll mail them the two roles i shot

they will process them and i believe the way it works is i will they'll scan them and i can pick the photos i want to get printed oh but they'll also send me the digital's so you'll get we get negatives as well from that i presume okay they better send my negatives back oh man this really brings me back so my dad was like a massive photo guy he loved it and had his own dark room and did to film photography all the time. My brother who doesn't take pictures at all, I ended up with the camera body, and I don't know why he has it.

I should have had it, or my daughter, at least. But Taylor's way into this. One thing that would be helpful is to know in the modern era, just like with, I don't know, vinyl records and things, because you're seeing film come back in this way,

and it's happening with not just that, but just like, you know, movie cameras and certain directors will only work with film. Where does one outside of the shop you found in Vegas, Where does somebody now find the things they need to even get started? Like, how did you even know what body to look for? Maybe you just know if you do photography. But for those out in the not in the know, what would you say?

What's your advice? I'm kind of obsessed with cameras. So I read photo blogs and I did research to look for, I was looking for a Nikon camera body because I already have some Nikon glass. I looked up. I just Googled what was the best Nikon film? camera. This website popped up Ken Rockwell. He's been writing a photo blog for like 20 years. And he was gushing about this Nikon F4. So for me, that's enough of a recommendation. He's a

Nikon guy. That's what I found. But if you already have a lens or you already have a camera, that's a good place to start. Just go with a brand that'll work. I like Nikon because the Nikon lenses that were made in the 80s work and function exactly the same as the ones that are made now. Other photo brands, you're not going to find that same case. So that's where I ended up. But really, any film camera with a lens on it is going to work if you want to just dabble. And all you got to do is buy a roll of film, slap it in the camera, take your shots,

and then mail it off to get. Like, technically, you could put the camera on auto and just shoot photos with it, and it'll be fun. Like, it's not hard to get back into it. And you can go to Amazon, get film, things like that, places, stores on the line. Amazon's got film. There's lots of places. Nicole just sent me a picture of a Pentax camera she has. That'll be perfect, run around to shoot with it.

Nice. And it's just fun. It's just thrilling to have that limitation to work inside that box. And then I plan on getting photos printed. If any photos of my friends came out, I'm going to get extras printed and mail them to them. Oh, nice. Yeah. You can still get Kodak, even though Kodak's a very different company now.

It's owned by some subsidiary. Oh, they're still making their film, though. Destin over at Smarter Every Day had a whole series on how they make their film that's fascinating. really yeah there's Fuji film still makes their stuff there's a bunch of other brands I've never heard of but yeah yeah I was looking to get Fuji 400 but they didn't have any I ended up with a brand I hadn't heard of before I can't remember what it was yeah oh yeah you have tons of options over there in Amazon yeah Kodak Ultramax 400 color print three three of those for where is it 32 bucks 90 cents not bad yeah that'll that'll treat you well that was my

three roles ended up being like 50 bucks they were a bit that was a bit pricey But maybe it was really good. We'll see. So when you get these developed, do they give you the option? Maybe you did say this, but would you get them developed? Can they give you a digital preview so that you can say, oh, I want prints of most of these, but not all of them? Yeah, I assume that's what's going to happen. I haven't gone through the process yet, but that's my assumption.

Because I got to imagine, like, I had my settings wrong. I tried to take a photo and it took an eight-second exposure while we were at golf. That one's not coming out, right? No, probably not. Yeah. So I should be able to say, don't print that one. We'll see, though.

I will report back. Yeah, let us know back. I can't wait to see these because it felt like you were like Gollum running around with your ring. Oh, so much fun. Yeah. And you were like, I don't know if I can, I don't know if I should take this one.

I don't know if it's worth it because I've only got 72 of these. And what if it's not worth it? Like, it's such a weird new way or old way of looking at at each photo being a bit of value. Whereas now we're just like, shit, and we don't care because. And that in itself is also very cool, right?

It's cool that we've gotten there. But there's something about that scarcity that makes this interesting, I think. Yeah. Well, can't wait to see what comes out of your little camera hole. You got it. Bill, it usually gives us a little bonus link of some sort. Oh, yes. What do you got? So while I was sick over the weekend recovering, we watched Skeleton Crew, or most of it.

I haven't seen the end yet. And there's a real cool spaceship in that And our pals over at Tested Got to Got to look at the behind the scenes of how they filmed the spaceship Yes, filmed it because they built a model A lot of the more recent Star Wars shows They've been making

They've been building physical models of the star spaceships And they built a motion control rig to film them Like this is so old school So cool It is so cool. Oh, I would love to work on something. You know what's great? So they, sorry, back in the day when they were making the first movie, this stuff was being

pioneered, right? The tracking shots and all that. And just to see them like going back, speaking of going back to old ways of doing things, this is really rad. That's so awesome. And not only that, John, no one I think the guy is talking to here. He built all this in his garage. The motion control rig.

It's like off-the-shelf components. Like that's what's possible now with off-the-shelf. shelf components a very like to so if for those that don't know with motion control they shoot multiple passes of the same thing over and over again so that um you can do a pass of the just the lights on the ship or a pass of just the diffuse and so it has to be perfectly repeatable perfectly repeatable and he built a machine that can do that in a cave with it with an sLR by the way sitting there that's not like some you know you're not buying some red camera Oh, yeah. It's just a camera. It's a Canon 5D Mark 4. Yeah, that's an off-the-shelf camera.

That's awesome. It's tough. This stuff fascinating. So, wait a minute. So they have to be, that has to be mathematically exact for every run because you're compositing is what you're saying, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yep. That's wild. Can't be off even by a millimeter. Love that stuff so much. That's so cool. That's my daughter's camera. And I just love that they're spending the money to do this sort of stuff for these shows. Yeah, that's really right. There's right there. Look at that. Oh, these composite shots. There's the how it works. Yeah. man so cool that's badass oh my gosh that makes me want that ship I want that ship in my house

I want to oh and they see and they mix some digital backdrop stuff like like Matt oh yeah they use every trick and I'll tell you too like we're watching skeleton crew and I was just like I can't tell you what it is but the starfield the star field in the background that is a Star Wars star field

it's not a Star Trek star field they do something specific I love that. First time you see it in the Millennium Falcon, it's very unforgettable. A lot less lens flare. Yeah. It's true. A lot less JJ smell on that thing.

That's right. Bill, it's always a pleasure. Punish Props.com is the place to go. Also, the YouTube channel on YouTube, of course. Punish Props, go look for it, ask for it by name. Thank you for being here. It was great seeing you, and we can't wait to talk again. We'll see you soon.

Kooloo. Bye now, Bill. See you, Bill. That video link, for those of you not watching the live show, you can go to punished prop or you can go to quicktms.l.I and you'll find it for today. Very nice. Such a great all-around resource for stuff we talk about. I should put that Instagram video up there. There's a lot of stuff that we talk about throughout the show that probably should go up there. Here are all the visuals and things that you didn't see as part of the show. But then I wouldn't be doing the show.

That's a good point. That's a good point. What we need is, is it searchable as it is right now? Can you search? It is. So I wish there was a way somebody else could do this. Like crowdsource the plug our links in for the day. The problem is who do we trust to do that and how consistent would they be? Right. But it would be awesome. Right now ice swarm is fantastic and always putting in the songs.

Like he does the, for every episode he's got the indie in the middle and the cover at the end links for every episode. Nice. But yeah, there needs to be, it would be nice to like, oh, we pulled up this. video of crazy people with Dudley Moore and Paul Reiser having that in there something like oh that's what they're talking about and sure yeah well there you go hire me says Claire Claire you're too high all right you're too high yeah high as a kite all the time um all right hey that's it for the show we're done uh today a Monday show got moved to today so it's a Tuesday Monday show because Carter still has the

vid and uh we just wanted to give her an extra day to fill a little better so we're doing that today at 1 p.m uh tune in at frogpans.tv then for that and of course daily music headlines is up now, right? Already up, I think. It's already up. Oh, yeah, yeah. We got that we knocked those out. When it's Hammond and I

All of us, all these collaborators, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. Yeah, that's right. You hear that KT data. Let's see those edits. Let's go. Oh, poor guy. He did so much.

I can't fault him for how long it's taking me this last little bit together yeah by the way does everybody want those I have all those individual little gifts of you guys

as poker chips making your like dork faces and stuff yes the answer is yes everybody wants them in the discord for everybody they're fantastic you chose some really great

freak out faces very good yeah for most of you there was an easy decision was anyone was anyone was anyone tricky

or harder to to do who like yes uh tom rarely makes a face that isn't just him smiling good point and same with wendy yeah windy is not that's a good point neither of them are are like fallible yeah although windy will do that more in public or in private when there's a camera on her there's no guarantee with her but tom i could see tom's got like two expressions they're both wonderful but those are all he's got yeah exactly um anyway well there you have it let's get out of here Let's play a song, I guess, you know? Like, why not?

Well, like, why not? Let's go to this one right here. Oh, there's some song called Smells Like Teen Spirit. Dear Bourbon and Scotch, says Jason, aka Big Chakalaka, in connection with the release of Thunderbolts, Star, I would like to request the hunting cover of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit by Think Up Anger featuring Malia J.

It was used in the title sequence for Black Widow. And Scott, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? Love the show, though. Jason. Never too early. Let's see. There it is. I'll give you both because I like him both.

Hey, too early to get a fish sandwich. Hey, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? Pretty damn good. That poor guy. We talked about how he passed away and we didn't know about it, right? We talked about it on the show. What a bummer. The guy gave us a lot of fun for years there.

So, rest in peace. Anyway, sorry. Keep going with you. Fish sandwich guy. Anyway, this is smells like teen spirit by the band. Think Up Anger, featuring. Maliah J. pretend she's over bored and selfish
