Tuesday. It is the year 2025. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Well, hi. Hi. Hey, who's the Red Dragon in the Marvel universe? Who is that? I was just looking that up because I'm thinking, oh, my God, Spider-Man's finally going after Hannibal Lecter. It's great to find that to see that happen. Yeah. Yeah, there was no, in whatever decade that was, my guess is, sounds like the 70s or 80s, there was no Red Dragon. There was a character named E. Dreg Gough, the Welsh dragon or the Red Dragon added, like first appearance 2007. But I don't know of any Red Dragon in... An image search yields this guy, but I don't see much else.

That's the one from 2007. Yeah, that's this E. Drag, Gough. Prime, I see. Prime Marvel Universe, Earth 616. Yeah. Yeah, maybe a one-off or something? But why would these kids in the 70s talk about this guy? I think just the Mattel or whoever needed a...

He's made it up, didn't they? Right. We don't... There aren't enough Spider-Man villains that we could use in this toy. Let's come up with something. Yeah, I think you're right. I think they made this shit up. Yeah, they definitely did.

Marvel. Well, Mattel. I mean, I blame the... I'd blame the toy company more than I'd blame Marvel. I think... That's probably true, yeah. Yeah. I think Marvel's like, here you go.

Yes, you can license Spider-Man. Do you need anything else? No, I think we're good. I think we got what we need. All right, guys. We forgot to ask for a villain. What have you got? The Red Dragon.

Typewriter, man? No, keep working, Johnny. What have you got over there? Typewriter, man. A cup of coffee, man. I love that the two guys who have suggestions and just look at the things in front of them and go. Flask of whiskey man,

like or whatever it is i love it dude i love it uh well anyway yeah marvel was giving out licenses back then like they were candy they had to right to stay afloat yeah it's what saved them i mean you know yeah scrappy as uh disjointed or as fragmented as they became especially when it came to movie licenses and tv licenses it did at least save the company to get us where we are now that's right we are in a way a better place which yeah Let's hope, you know. I mean, as good as the last couple of movies were, and especially Thunderbolts. I think Captain America New World Order was good.

It was all right. Better than Marvel's, you know, better than Eternals. But Thunderbolts was great. Just didn't do well box office wise. I'm hoping. I think it did okay, didn't it? Or did not make its money or break even? I don't know how it did.

Yeah, let's take a look here because the, the. um you and i you and i did our part you and i did our part we totally did our part yeah we went two theaters and paid full price exactly let's see thunderbolts i.e do avengers yeah the new asterisk yes asterisk let's see box office here we go um as of july 18th so three four days ago thunderbolts has grossed 190 million dollars in the u.s and canada and 192 million in other territories so total of 382.1 million okay it's not it's bad it is one of the lowest grossing MCU films right reporting that it needed to earn an unachievable 425 million worldwide to break even wow so cost of making it plus all the PR is more than two more than 320 or sorry 382.1

million geez yeah yeah well maybe don't maybe that's too much maybe that you spend too much maybe you need to figure out maybe the problem is in the movies it's uh maybe the problem is how much you're spending to make them maybe you can make them a little bit cheaper yeah maybe janison accounting can do her job maybe um maybe you go on fiverr dot com and have them do some of the special effects uh chat gpt to do the writing yeah um it's all great ideas yeah what could possibly go wrong yeah maybe less pizza nights at the office right just you only need one hat kevin yeah maybe maybe one will do Just one hat. Yeah.

What do you think his head smells like when he takes a hat off? Because he never does. It's always on, right? Yeah, but I mean, I, you know, I'll wear hats. I get when I went to the Renaissance Festival. Of course, I wore a hat that day. Yeah, makes sense. For the whole day.

Even being out in the heat all day long wearing that hat, I don't feel like there was any smell or sweat or anything coming off of the top of my head. Fresh as a daisy. Yeah. Fresh as a daisy. Yeah. We assume that. Kevin, Kevin Figi takes a daily, you know, shower of some sort.

I would hope, yes. Yeah, we don't know. That's where his best ideas come from. Now, I want someone to get a picture of somebody, a dude who looks like Kevin Faggy, Figue, Figi, Mfigi. I want him in a shower with a hat on. That's what I want. Okay, excellent.

Please, somebody only send that to Scott. Do not send that to me as well. Do not CC me on that one, please. Not a full body shot. I only need, like, shoulders up. Yeah, that's right. I'll assume he's naked. I'll happily let somebody wear his funny hat.

I'll happily let somebody smell funny hat behind me there. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't worry about that. It's on Spider-Man's head right there. Brian's a clean guy, guys. Don't go running with any ideas that either of us are stinky men. We're not. No, nope, I wash on the regular. Yeah, and thoroughly we do.

Thoroughly. Thorough of all the extremities. If you know what I'm saying, wink, wink. Brian, I'm going to tell you something about my favorite so-far gift I've gotten for my birthday. Please do, because I saw a little bit about this yesterday during the Monday. show but I was I was in and out of the basement just with the headphones on so I heard about it more than I saw it well my daughter showed up uh and they had told me a few days ago so dad yeah we got a gift for you but it's late and then my other daughter said the same thing dad it's late

and I just assumed I'm like you guys it's fine there's a lot of there's a lot of that going on in your life uh yeah it's late sorry it's going to be late sorry it'll be a little late and I was and I'm like you know how I feel I don't care it's whatever it's like you know what you know what yeah I'm like the thought is nice just I get to see you come on over to the house we'll have dinner on sunday whatever that's all fine with me they show up a couple days ago i guess it had been sunday and they brought me my gift now i'll show you the back first because it's just like this is all i saw it first so it looked like a book right okay nice nice bound book of some sort binding very nice yeah then i saw the the pages they look kind of yellowy

and aged yeah like a little like it's been around for a while like even even kind of the aging bleeding further into the page. Yeah, like a pirate map or something, you know, kind of. And then I, and then I, uh, they bring it over and my daughter kind of lets this edge show a little bit. And it says, I said, does that say dark tower? She says, ooh. She says, ooh. And so I just thought they got me like a nice bound version of one of the dark tower books.

Yeah. Yeah. What they did is they went online and found a 1989 print of the first novel in the dark tower series by Stephen King. Oh, it really is like a first edition. Well, it's like a third edition, but early edition. Yeah, early 80s edition. I don't want to say this.

I want to say Gunslinger was originally written in 78 or something. Let's see. Okay. I can tell you real quick. Original copyright date would have been. Yeah, 1978 October was the first year publication. This was republished in 82 and then again in 89. So this is an 89 edition.

They basically took the book, tore up. all the pages out got rid of its existing binding and rebound it oh in this custom binding in this thing on the front that's that is not the original 1989 binding no this is taylor's this is taylor's work she did this whole entire thing so she's she's all into this now she has like a whole channel that shows it but she basically rebinds books or binds like fan fiction she likes or that kind of thing and in this one it is that actual book rebound uh i always have to do this because it's just compulsory to do this. Hold on. Here it is.

I have to read the first line in this book. Again, this is the Gunslinger book one of the Dark Tower Saga, where it starts. The Man in Black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed. Oh, oh. It just goes places after that. Anyway, and then Carter did this cover art for it. So there's a little bit of smear of glue on there, which is no one's fault. But that is a version of Roland Deshain, the Gunslinger himself, as he stands before,

the Great Tower. That's more of a scene from the final book, but it's fine. Taylor made the big keyhole. That's actually 3D kind of recessed in there. It looks like it's an embosser. Yeah, kind of like, it's just like, that's hard to explain. That is so cool. This is now my favorite thing ever. I'm probably not being going to open it to read it because I don't want to harm, I don't want to hurt this. You don't want to snap the, right, the bite that snap. But what do they call that when you like, you crack, you break the binding kind of thing? Yeah. And I just picture people like licking their finger and moving pages and it's like I don't want any of that right but I love this book I'm happy to reread it digitally I've read it like six times over but

anyway it's the nicest thing and I love Carter's art and the whole thing is it called break the spine is that what they say? Break the spine oh that's what uh that's breaking my spine ain't nobody going to turn me I call it your book has been bained that's right look it look it up kids yeah anyway uh that's that I just wanted to give them a very freaking cool and don't uh here's the other thing to not sleep on uh tay can read tay dot can read or tay can read is her tictock account and that's where she's showing off how these are made she has a video coming of this one being made as well as my doofist reaction in the office when she first showed it to me um people go over there and sub to her

channel if you're a tic talk user she would love additional you know eyeballs on that channel i think she so cool she can grow it make something cool out of it so anyway there's that nice Brian we heard from senior geek yes we did Gary from Lantronics Gary from Lantronics from Lantronics from Lantronics from Lantronics from retirement from retirement he says hey sound check and buzz here's a screenshot of my answer to some of your survey questions I'm gonna pull this screenshot up this is the tadpooley feud survey questions correct uh see can i just download it i'll just download i don't care oh there you go as a little as a file yeah just so people can see this okay so here it is oh really it's a zip why is it a zip do you want me to i can copy and put it into our discord no i got it right here okay

here we go okay let me just let me shrink that a little bit there whoops okay everybody so here it is this is without any rest of material name the smallest country you can think of Monaco is what he answered yeah name a shark based movie or TV show that isn't Jaws shark NATO name a story you'd only find in a shopping mall Macy's uh and then name a cartoon character you had a crush on growing up bugs bunny and drag was his answer that's the key one that's the key that's the important one right there um he goes on in this email to say bugs bunny uh in drag is the first thing that popped into my head so that's what i put might have to ask Wendy about that one, says Gary.

Gary, I want you to know you're not, not only you're not the first person to respond in this way, probably eight to ten other emails all saying the same exact thing. And they're all ages between like 40 and like 60 something. You're an outlier on your age range. But I think just a certain couple generations of kids grew up with this cartoon and Bugs Bunny being all sexy as a lady. And we all had a little moment of like,

oh oh you know i mean it was nine people in in uh in the search just in the survey alone that we did for few that said that and uh that says that says something i don't think anybody should be embarrassed i think you should all embrace your strange curiosity um i think if you find somebody attractive in drag yeah it's kind of the point you know right isn't that kind of the point of drag is it's it's attractive it's meant to be it's supposed to be attractive plus also you know you're automatically attuned to the sense of humor like, well, I like Bugs' sense of humor.

Oh, he's a lady now. Very nice, with the same sense of humor. What are these stirring? Actually, she was also a little bit more seductive because she was trying to woo Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam or whoever it was that he was dealing with when he was in drag. Yeah, those guys were basically one coin, two different sides.

Pretty much, yeah. One's kind of dopey and one wants to hunt. Yeah, that one wants to shoot them up. Kill, I guess. Maybe they both want to shoot them with their guns. One of them just, one of them is all mustache. All mustache all the time. That's right.

Well, anyway, there's that. Thank you, Gary, for sharing that with us. We admire your wisdom. I think it is a good idea to have Wendy talk about what makes people make that choice. Make that choice, yeah. Maybe I'll pass it on to her and say, hey, what is it? Actually, this is interesting. Yeah.

Because we were all kids. We weren't like sexual beings or anything. Right. No, exactly. None of us were like, oh. Wouldn't mind taking her outside. I want to get with. Yeah.

No, we didn't do that, but there's this like sense of like, that's weird because normally he's just goofy, but right now he's kind of seductive. What is, what is that? That's who I'd like to go to the mouth shop with for a date. That's right. Get a soda. a malted milk we also got a message here from tom a and this is on retinas so he says this we were talking about my brother and his retina thing which by the way seems to be healing although his vision's still kind of screwy but uh i mean whatever he's 10 years older to me that's what happens uh anyway he says a few years back i had a detach retina i had to lay on my left side could not lay on my back for 23 hours a day for a week i was done with the laying on my side by the end of the second day uh so yeah thank you for that clarif I think what it absolutely depends on

it's a per patient issue other factors involved like age other damage to the eye genetic factors if you just like when I was 14 and tore my retina wrestling Jimmy Jensen on the trampoline everybody we call that a tramp

I don't know why we did that but we shortened it a tramp when we were growing up in fact I'll admit this when I was a little kid and somebody would say before I'd seen it said lady in the tramp I thought they met a trampoline yeah I thought was a trampoline

and a lady on it I really did until I went saw it and went oh that you call that a tramp as somebody who's kind of a vagabond slash shyster like a little right yeah like Charlie Chaplin wasn't he the little tramp yeah right

this his nickname yeah the tramp yeah and then tramps became one of his movies somehow they got applied to women later on. Right. And it was much more derogatory. And I don't understand that, but whatever. I thought it was a trampoline.

So what did you think, what kind of move on the trampoline? Did you think the tramp stamp was? Oh, shit. That, I'd been much older for that. So I think. You were aware of what the tramp also meant. Yeah. Although I have never seen, and I think this would be funny, if I was somebody out there

getting a tramp stamp, I would get a picture of that dog. No, the dog with the spaghetti out of his mouth. from, right, Lady in the Tramp. Yeah, it's a little more innocent take on your, on your upper butt. You just say, want to see my Tramp stamp? Yeah. And then it looked and yeah. Yeah, heck yeah. By the way, that reminds me.

And if you were in prison, nobody would mess with you because they'd be too busy laughing. Oh, yeah, they wouldn't, they'd be like, ah, you're okay. I was going to shiv you, but. We've mentioned this a few times. It just reminded me of this because of tattoos. We're both on record of sort of like, we don't know what we want yet, but we'll probably get a tattoo. did you ever did you make a turn on that yet i do i do know what i want it's a um i just need to draw the damn thing here in my head got it perfectly visualized it's a it's a mix tape it's a

cassette and the tape is coming out of the cassette and it it um very you know very loosely is going to follow the wave form of tina saying i love you i've got her recorded i've got the waveform it's you know it's like super tiny there's no way no way you're going to be able to do that

with the cassette tape coming out of it so it's really going to be stylized like boeep yeah yeah

kind of thing what you should do is later down the arm you should have a pencil in one of the cassette holes

trying to wrap all that back in there my so I'll have the I'll have the tattoo here and then on this finger it'll just be a pencil

yeah and then I can go it used to be a thing you guys we get a little bit of like maple syrup in the works or whatever and you'd have a thing would be all spaghetti down and you're like i can't just throw away this seven dollar and fifty cent tape no i i was the master of splicing like basically i could do that thing where you you know you pull enough tape out or if or if it gets tangled and tied in a knot you just cut out the knot you take a little bit of scotch tape you you cut it to the right size you put both halves of the

tape on there as close as you can you fold it over and it's just got to be the thinnest damn thing and then use the pencil to tighten it up. And I can't tell you how many times, I know I did this, I don't know how many times I did it, but where I didn't pull the tape, the two halves of the tape that I was splicing together

out of the same hole in the bottom. So when I tightened it back up, it overlapped some of the plastic plugs. So it's like, well, great, now you've got to cut this off and re-re-splice it. It's the worth, because it's got like three, little four little windows underneath right yeah four little windows exactly holding it together i had a tape right here where is it yeah i've done that been there done that yeah uh final shout out to

our pal Liam o'brien who's a listener of this program a listener of this program continually he loves tms listens every day uh so he's going to definitely hear this uh it was released or there was a big press release on variety dot com that he and the critical role crew um are making their first video game and this part will not surprise you because uh of the, some of the machinations of the larger game business and the big money but holes that often run these companies and how they don't, they want to stiff everybody but make billions every year. They're working with it with an indie developer to do it, which I think is great and is totally, you know, along the lines of what I would hope they would do. So not only do they

have a bunch of TV projects and other side projects and other cool stuff going on all the time including critical role itself they are getting into uh getting into video games i'm very excited very very cool yeah oh that's awesome we don't know what it's going to be yet they haven't gotten that far but uh go seek it out everybody variety dot com has the whole uh layout and grats to leum who's probably jogging as he hears this i can't wait to can't wait to check it out um one more thing you've got to do you got a shout out to your t-shirt uh provider oh thank you very much yesterday Brian had a shirt on that was provided to him by tech drum rock and roll had to refer to a note I wrote it's the savanna bananas and you haven't even pulled the

tape off the sleeve the left sleeve oh is there is there a tape on here oh yeah there it is look at I do that all the time and I do that on the bananas as well and I eat a banana I don't take the little label off no why bother I mean you're peeling the banana you're peeling the peel off anyway you just got to you have to line things up so that the peel the sticker is fully contained on appeal. Yeah, plus it's fiber, you know. Right. Nothing wrong with that.

Anyway, I love the shirt. It's awesome. He got me a nice loose one, which means I can kind of luxuriate in it, you know, a little bit. Yeah, same. So now Brian and I have a matching shirt that you never know one day we show up and we're just both wearing it. We never know. Like we've got, you know, we've got red Hawaiian shirts that are very similar, right?

The red and white stark pattern. Someday we're going to wear those on the same day. and someday we're going to watch or wear the Savannah Bananas. That's right. Also, tap, tap percussion is tech drums and rock and roll. Cool. Oh, same guy. Cool.

Hey, look at you how consistent his nicknames are, though. Tap, tap percussion, tech drums, rock and roll. Yeah. Oh, and shout out to multiple people who have corrected us, especially, I should give them. This is probably a well actually that they've already written. I don't want to usurp that or anything. Yeah. But somebody said in our group here, here it is.

Oh. Was it bomb bats? Yeah, it's Bomb Bats. Bombats reminded me that 9-inch Nails is not only still touring, but they've done it on and off since forever. I didn't know that. Like they had a trilogy tour in 2017 to 2018, which was a bunch of 59 dates, eight dates in America,

59 dates internationally. 2022, they did it again. And then right now they have them already going on, June to July, and then August through September. They've got 16 U.S. dates, 26 North American, or no, 16 European dates, 26 North American dates. Like, they're always, I didn't know that.

That's cool. I didn't know Resner and Atticus Ross, Atticus Ross, or like, you know, out there doing it. I had no idea. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty great. It's very cool. Brian, don't let this, don't let this turn you on too much, but someone just put this in that group, too.

Look at this right here. Oh, geez. Yeah. Well, that's good. Okay. As long as it's not, uh, yeah. You know, that's official. Don't send in your, um, your searched online, safe search off, uh, bugs,

money and drag photos. Oh, yeah, that Rule 34 is strong out there, I'll bet. Yeah, I'm sure it is. Gotta be, dude. I don't even want to know. Probably him in that weird shaped horse doing it. I would think it's going to be him and the big fuzzy alien. I like that guy.

He's great. He always leaves the... Where did you go, George? The shape in the wall, he always leaves the same shape of him. Which I think now I think is kind of. Aphalic. All right. Let's get to some news, you guys.

Time for us to inform you. Okay? We've already... Which way did you go, George, was the dog. Oh, that was the dog? Yeah. Gossamer. Gossamer was the alien.

That's right. There were a couple of versions of that, which way did you go, George? The whole, like, mice and men riff. They did that a lot, cartoons. Yeah. Sometimes there were mice, sometimes dogs. All right. Here you go, you guys.

Enjoy this. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by whom? Brought to you by Daily Music Headlines. Let's see. What did we talk about today? There's, I'll say that one last. Pearl Jam Live. There's a book coming out by Selena Fagrassi about the band and it's 35-year history.

You can find out about that. Slipknot had a countdown on their website. When it hit zero, they released a box set, a limited edition 25th anniversary vinyl box set of their debut album, which sold out instantly, but they're putting more up as well. If you're a Slipknot fan, you want to look for that. Nice. But most importantly, Liam Gallagher, completely on brand for Liam Gallagher, said, and I can't repeat the exact quote because it is so full of expletives,

but basically at their Manchester shows, they said, cheat all you want. We don't have that snidey cold play camera here to catch you. Nice. Yes. Nice. uh well you know i knew he had in a lot more crass yeah you knew that guy couldn't just keep it in he had to say something for sure exactly and any and any chance he can get to just dig at any other

band like yeah oasis you know the big thing was the oasis and blur feud but really it was oasis versus everybody yeah well it's nice to know he hasn't you know he's still consistent with who he is yes exactly completely on brand yeah well that's great check it out daily music headlines com everybody fantastic show a man allegedly stole a tour train high on meth that's important tour train okay uh and picked up passengers so that's pretty cool a man allegedly on your left you'll see my dealer that's the dumpster i took a shit in yesterday sorry myth users i don't know what you act like i have no idea right right no that's probably accurate yeah a meth or sorry a man allegedly celebrating his birthday by stealing a

a city tour train so that's one of those with the open top i assume oh yeah this is like this is a train on a rail this is a train like kind of like what takes you to your parking lot in lot b if you're uh uh landtronics exactly look at it these yellow cars here that's exactly it so that's it's funny it says key west on the side but uh man that looks like new orleans just because of the rot iron yeah up here definitely yeah yeah i probably have a lot of that there too i don't know i would you know i look at that photo and i say that doesn't look like a guy who's on meth. No, he looks like a normal, settled, you know, down-to-earth fella.

I mean, you know, most meth people I think of, they always have all the facial scarring and stuff, the weird skin reactions, but maybe he's, maybe he's just getting started. He's early, he's just beginning his meth trip. Chris in the chat, just another brushwood, fantastic. We assume you mean the hair, not the meth use. Right, yes. Let's see. The man allegedly was celebrating his birthday, according to the arrest report,

obtained by local outlet WPLG. Officers were dispatched to the conch tour train, or is that conk? Cunk, yeah. Like the shell, I guess. You know, that always messed me up early on. Like, it should be a conch. Yeah, why is it conch shell? Yeah, if you're going to do conch, just C-O-N-K or C-K if you want.

Kunk, conk on shells. Oh, I want her to run a tour. pay. That would be the best. Oh my gosh, the stuff she'd say about local things. I'd love her so much. Isn't there something new coming from her? I heard. Some new, yeah, new Netflix multi, multi-episode thing, I think. Fantastic. I'm ready for it. Unless it already came out and I missed it. But anyway, they were dispatched to this train on the 4th, so it's happened on the 4th of July. It's all where all the fun stuff happens every year here in the States. For a report of a stolen train, employees told police that they were tracking the train's GPS system when it was driving around the downtown area. Police arrived in Learned that the man later identified as 57-year-old, aren't they always, Jonathan Winslow.

Why does that sound? Oh, I'm thinking of Michael Winslow, the voice guy. Winslow, yeah. Yeah, he reportedly went down the road going, Woo, woo, woo, whew, me, me, me, bring. Yeah, be amazing. He arrived at the depot. You guys got to go look up.

If you don't know who we're talking about, go look him up. Exactly. He arrived at the depot in a Kia vehicle. Uh-oh. how old 57 okay well i mean he looks like a he looks like a nero kind of guy oh let's you know what interesting uh yeah the kea vehicle yeah he doesn't scream sorrento to me no and it's all we're also pre logo change for this guy no no hybrid no electric oh yeah no he's he's he's gas only and it's

old kia yeah i think you know i like your pick it's good i think that's that's dead on. I don't see him driving a soul either. Sorry, yeah, look at this guy. Yeah, I wouldn't give a soul. I don't think, uh, I don't think he'd be cut dead in a soul. No. No. He may steal one and then go on tour with it. Sure, sure. Yes. But he ain't going to drive it by accident. Anyway, uh, he arrived at the thing in this Kia, uh, which was still running and the car was still running and was playing music on the radio by the time officers arrived. Uh, we didn't say what music was playing. I'd be curious. I want to know the music, but, but of course it's limp biscuit.

that's a good pick the the band which was assumed to be limb biscuit was playing on the radio something from that new metal era yes limb biscuit all the way through i don't know it's no sublime was more like ska who am i think of it or uh um is lincoln park considered new metal i don't know if they are they kind of i get they had the rap and the heavy straddle the line yeah they kind of had the combo i think they might count how about nickelback how about just say Nicolbeck was definitely playing on the thing. Well, I would say, look at this photograph

of this guy. He told an employee that he used to work at the depot and that he wanted to tour of one of the trains or wanted to look at one of the trains. Winslow then allegedly got into the trains and drove it off the property, leaving the employee confused, but he assumed that Winslow had permission

to take the train. But that's a weird thing to assume. Yeah, that's a big assumption. Maybe change your employee manual to reflect not doing that in the future. Maybe, I don't know, make your actual tour drivers wear lanyards or some sort of vest or something. Here's another note that I didn't put in here. He exhibited rapid speech, appeared excited, claimed you was simply borrowing the train. Zubba Zubba.

He says, basically, today's my birthday. I get to do this. While being checked into jail, a deputy reportedly found a meth pipe in his pocket, although he claimed it was a weed pipe. Of course it was. Yeah. Of course he claimed it was, sure. Yeah. He claimed it was weed.

Weed. Weed pipe. I mean, it may be. It may be he bought a weed pipe that just happens to use for meth. Yeah. I mean, I don't know that they're all that different. I mean, I'm no drug paraphernalia expert. I don't know how they work.

No, no. The most I've ever seen is like a dude and a, oh no, it was in New Orleans and the lady stumbling out of her house trying to find the drugs that were supposedly dropped and left missing in the front area's grass. and she was digging for some sort of pipe. Oh, yeah. That's as close as I've gotten to that world. Gotcha. Oh, I've seen it all, Scott.

I've seen it all. Yeah. Yeah, well, give me the worst. Give me the worst you've seen. The worst I've seen. Yeah. Worst drug, like drug-based. Drug.

Thing. I mean, I've seen your, your meth glass pipes. This is not one I've, you know, unused by me. He doesn't partake, guys. He doesn't inhale. He held it in his mouth. I've already told you what I've parted. taken in and I'm not going to repeat that but um but yeah one of those with the the glass like

it's a ball like it's fully made out of glass a ball uh which has a burn mark on the bottom of it um like a crack pipe right basically a crack pipe yeah i think they're all kind of the same aren't they you heat them up down there and i think you use exactly you know you're not going to use that with weed because you want the weed to burn not melt yeah good point so yeah but i've seen i've seen well, on TV, I've seen people with, like, pills in it. Yeah, and then they melt that down. Yeah, but they usually inject that.

Sometimes that's a spoon. You can use one of those for weed, Claire? I wouldn't think, I mean, I guess obviously you're not going to heat up the bottom of it because you... It's like a tiny bong. It's like a little bong. Okay. Interesting.

Okay. Of course she knows. Freaking Claire. Claire and her drug knowledge. Well, anyway, let's move on to this story. scientist cat again helps discover a new virus not his first time to the cat virus rodeo you cats are awesome with your with your virus discoveries that's right pepper the pet cat made headlines last year for his role in the discovery of the first j-long virus

Anyway, this cat's pretty cool. John Led Nicky. Len Dickey. It's better than Len Dickey. Ph.D., Pepper's owner, and University of Florida College Public Health and Health Professionals Virologist took Pepper's catch

a dead Everglades short-tailed shrew. It's like a little old lady who's mad at everything. So the cat just goes out, like he says, hunts. So the cat just goes out and fetches rodents and critters and things like that. It's a thing they do, right? maybe a gift or whatever they say they do yeah lay it at your feet do you get that from anora no our cats are indoor cats uh inara today walked over a spider that was crawling on the floor

in the 3d print room oh man um to come over and rubber you know basically rub on my leg and i'm like oh spider and she looks down and just steps over it and walks over to me to rub against my leg it's like nope you can handle that you got this you got this yeah my favorite super she was aware of it just yeah my favorite superman meme for the new movie is that shot of him laying in the snow barely able to move

and it's when he whistles for the dog it's in the trailer so this isn't a spoiler instead of going whistle he goes and then a cat shows up and it says come get me crypto or whatever

save me and take me back take me home and the next frame is the cat staring at him again and then the final frame is just the skeletal head of Superman laying in the snow because cats don't do shit they don't do shit yeah yeah um on their terms you know if i wouldn't have said anything it's like oh i'll get this spider but because i wanted her to get

the spider as like no uh no that's you've got this dekard did find a mouse in their house one time and brought it to the door or doorway of her bedroom and stood there looking at like what do you think of this yeah oh nice like well dekard i don't like it this at all no sir i don't took it outside and threw it away let's see here the oh testing revealed the shrew had previously identified strain of the ortho oral war virus

Orthoreo yep that's way easier for you to say viruses in this genus are known to infect humans white-tailed deer bats and other mammals while this virus affects on humans are not yet well understood they have been rare reports of the virus

being associated with cases of encephalitis meningitis or gastro and gastro or gastro reoenteritis in children specifically. Bottom line is we need to pay attention to this virus and know how to rapidly detect. It says, Lid, Nikki. Uh-huh. Anyway, good job, cat.

Two viruses you've identified. Two viruses, yeah. And don't forget Schrodinger, you know, his cat helped discover the inside of boxes. Yeah. So good for, good for Schrodinger's cat. Yeah, good job, cat. And invented Acapella. Wait a minute.

I don't get it. There's an a acopella band called Shredding's cat. I didn't know that. I think that's the one that Paul and Storm were in before they

went solo. So I always came to Brian for music knowledge. I don't know the stuff. Was that? I didn't know that either. They were part of it? Yeah, they were part of a

um, uh, uh, acapella band. I think that was theirs. Let me see. Hmm. Um,

they were singing Acapella wild. Yeah. Because I've only had heard of, I can only find, I can only find the, there's a German band. Yeah. Let's see.

Is this it? Schrodinger's cat band? Shrodinger's cat, y'all. Jeez. Big Beat Acapella. I cannot find. Oh, Da Vinci's notebook. That's right.

They were different, different classic person. Da Vinci versus Schrodinger. Yeah. So Schrodinger's cat, different acapella band. According to the disambiguation, there is a, Norwegian television series, a book by John Gribbon, and the code name for a version of Fedora Linux distribution is Schrodinger's cat. That's called Schrodinger's cat.

That's pretty weird, right? I didn't know that. I thought it was all penguins with you Linux people. Right, exactly. Penguin, this, penguin, that. I guess I have a little... Dr. Calhoun wants to make sure I get it, uh, correct. Duh, Vinci's notebook.

Duh. Vinci's. So he's saying day vinsissis that's right. Not e-book. All right. Thanks, Dr. Calhoun. Your Ph.D. Paying off in spades, man. For sure. For sure. But no, thanks for the

correction. Yes. And there's even like, you know, an Irish two-piece indie rock band influenced by my bloody Valentine. There's the the Acapella band that I'm familiar with. You know, it's probably because when I was doing Acapella Covervilles, I would play something by Da Vinci's notebook and something by Shredinger's

Cat and I got them, got the name is confused. Most of the names are similar. Do you say one of those was, there's a band inspired by My Bloody Valentine the movie? No, the band My Bloody Valentine. Is that based on the film? I'm sure that they got their name, yeah.

Okay. Yeah. As a kid that was some forbidden fruit in our house. Oh, really? Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. And the reason, there was a couple of reasons why. It wasn't just that it was a horror movie full of gore. It's because one of the main actors, maybe the main actress, the killer, was the sister on Little House on the Prairie, the blind sister.

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. And my parents couldn't deal with that. Or my mom in particular. My mom thought that was just like, oh, you can't, we can't. Seeing her in a role like that, that will ruin something. And I'm like, I don't care that much about Little House. You'll never be able to watch Little House again. Yeah, not Laura Ingalls, the other one, Janet Ingalls or

Yeah, what was for name? Francis Ingalls, whatever her name was. The one that went blind in the story. The blonde one, yeah, the older sister that went blind. Yeah. Because of the fire, right? Isn't that what? There's something like that.

I had kind of a crush on her. I'll admit it. She was cute. Yeah. There was a... She wasn't a cartoon, though. No, she was definitely not a cartoon that I know of. I haven't seen that show.

Mary, that's it. I haven't seen that show in a long time. I have a... Oh, yeah, Melissa Sue Anderson. I have a very strong feeling it doesn't hold up. no I'm sure I could be wrong but I just something in my gut says that'll be hard to watch right now that's right yeah Melissa Sue Anderson what else uh besides my bloody valentine yeah I mean that was just shocking to my mom she's like she can't be in something like this it's like mom they're actors they can do all kinds of things um I think you're thinking of happy birthday to me because I am not seeing am I mixing them up I might be yeah oh you're right yeah yeah Yeah, different movie. We did My Bloody Valentine on FilmSack, I think.

Didn't we? Did we? Shit. I'm going to look at a quicksack. That I'll lie real quick. Oh, she did the voice of Snowbird from Alpha Flight on X-Men, the 90s animated series. Oh, nice. Here it is.

This is Sue Anderson. FilmSack 502. We did My Bloody Valentine in 2021, yeah. I was going to say, I don't remember seeing it, but apparently we saw it. I just remember there was a head in a clothes dryer. I remember that. Oh, yeah, okay. That's all I remember, dude, nothing else.

And then Valentine's Day, that's it. Well, sure, yeah. That's all I got. I mean, as is the tradition with heads in clothes dryers. Yeah, boxes of chocolate, yeah, boxes of chocolate, the little candies with the writing on it, and then a head in the dryer. What's the 14th anniversary? Oh, right. Head in a closed.

Right, right. What a great year for all couples. When they reach the 14th. It's good stuff. All right. We got a cannabis story. So let's get to the weed. All right.

Let's get to the weed. We've had our meth. Now let's get to weed. That's right. Cannabis cake taken, sorry, taken to shared lunch at a hospital. Oops. Two staff members ended up in the emergency department after eating the cake. They probably just thought something was wrong.

That's why they went to the ER. It's not that I want to clear this up. For those weed lovers out there, I know that weed will not cause you to go to the ER. But if you don't know you had some and you're losing your shit because you don't know why you feel the way you do, you might go to the ER. All right. I mean, I imagine if you eat more of it than you should. I don't know. I don't think you can OD on it.

You don't think you can overdue on eating weed? I don't think so. I think you can, I think the whole thing with weed is, I mean, you can get really baked, but I don't think it's like there's an OD possibility that I know of. Someone's going to write in, tell me I'm wrong. Of course, of course. Well, actually. Yeah.

Dr. Tolbert, you listening? Let us know. I just love the fact that this New Zealand article ends, you know, in the emergency department after eating the cake. One news understands. one news understands that's the name of the thing oh yeah it is one news yeah one news understands you know that's when i would question our naming choice for our stupid uh one news yeah it's more the understands that i that i like uh you know a guy stole a uh train in key west on meth

and drove it around a little bit nine news understands only the germans would balk at that no news you mean no news yeah you have ordered let's see in a statement police said they're investigating the incident which occurred at the hospital on June 30th

somebody brought it in there a bunch of people ate the cake health minister Simon Bowen this is in New Zealand asked about the incident this morning said it was completely unacceptable behavior by the staff member involved they said they had to take it seriously

and it's a nice reminder that New Zealand does not have legal weed at all they are Oh gotcha so no recreational or even medicinal do you know i well that i don't know but i've heard about the shire can you oh yeah oh yeah yeah and one of those super long pipes and then you arrive precisely when you mean to yes they had a they had a vendor at the renaissance festival that was selling those super lung pipes and um as we went by notice one of the signs says yes you can smoke weed in these

so apparently their frequently asked question is on the wall there yes you can use these to smoke weed yeah for sure uh talia who is educated in the ways of uh brain science says the amount of weed it would take to od is so high you would have complications from other things before odying on weed yeah i could that's that's what i've heard i don't know where i heard it or where i talk to somebody about it but that's that's roughly what my understanding but i don't understand but i don't obviously things change if it's like um that's synthetic stuff that's that can really wreck you um laced with other things like that's a whole other issue but if it's just like you know approved gummies you bought in Vegas by the way that the gummy I had that two years ago

had I not known that I took that sativa gummy and knew why I was feeling so weird if I if I would have been given that or slipped that yeah oh you are for sure for sure yeah I'd be like what that's what that's wrong with me yeah so if you don't know you're ingesting weed and you start feeling like that, then you're like, oh my God, what is, what is wrong with me? Take me to the year right now. Yeah, it was that bad. Oh, good. We're already here. Fantastic. Great. Someone brought me here? Wonderful. Did I pee my pants? Great. Well, anyway, there's your stories for the day. We are now going to take a break when we come back from this break. We'll be joined by Bill. Yeah, that's right. Bill. He makes things. He's taking Dan's place because Dan's on vacation today.

Gotcha. Okay. No, Dan. Just Bill. I was excited to tell Dan all about my Marvel gaming experience the other day, where we only managed to play two games. Yeah, he would, oh, you sent pictures in there too. I did. Yeah, he probably stoked about it. He probably would love, dude, can you imagine me, you, him, Tolbert, in a room like that playing those games?

And you guys could read all the rules to me. It'd be fantastic. We'd put a little watch it played in the center of that table since there's already a, you know, a TV monitor built in there. The listeners can never say I don't lean into my own memes. This is true. Brian, let's play that song. Do you have a little something to play?

This is a Los Angeles band. They are considered a blending of traditional folk, bluegrass, and SoCal Grit. Yes, I said folk, not folk. All right, folk music. I like it. Folk, folk you. This is a band called Hoist the Colors. They have a brand new single.

It's called Documentation. Their full album, Dear Wondon. or less won't be released until October 10th of this year but enjoy this song documentation and please read it. We'll see on the other side. That's a typo. Anytime such as hardness and angered.

Hear the ecstasy and joy When it brings it to your knees In the moments of this illusion The triumphant trumpet sound When you rise back to your feet Hey I was spinning through the dark city I was still that was confined

I was searching for the light Through the hearts I saw frozen figures Stone called emotionless I left free and cherished every single step So give me it all the roads and rights Let me suffer with a smile I need to breathe I need these days

To keep me from the grave I was reveling in the passion and the loss of innocence was fully marching towards its death. With our poison tongues on the lashing, on the weary walk back home, all our grain was gone as I was left to go. So give me it all the roads and rights. Let me suffer with a smile I need to breathe I need these days to keep me from the grave And of what unsteady creatures we are

And a dark world This wanders us pass down The cognizance I've found There's a quietness that compels us A cascading of sound In this broken part of town Is it need to finish the story There's a pull to settle down

Still I go until I'm laid cold in the ground A cup of coffee and a sweet roll We are out of sweet rolls A glass of milk and a sweet roll We are out of sweet rolls Ice tea in a sweet roll We are out of sweet rolls Orange juice in a sweet roll

We are out of sweet rolls Okay then I'll just have a sweet roll I have two cats and I don't know how to ride a horse And we're back Who's that again That is a band called

Hoist the Colors Their brand new album Dear Wanderlust comes out in October But that's the first single It's called Documentation Nice Matuba, do you recognize that? It sounds like you do.

I do, too. That's, you know, that is what, Sesame Street, Electric Company. I think electric company, I think. Yeah. Yeah. It's, I, I, her reaction at the very end of that, that, is burnt like that. I remember in my head, that is that lives, lives there rent free forever. I mean, she's so clearly pissed and rightfully so.

Yeah. That guy's a dick. This is, you know, if it was done these days, it would be a guy looking at his phone, not paying attention and it would be it would be completely accurate yeah yeah it feels like that's about right um okay well glad you guys enjoyed it it's now time to to shift gears and go a different direction and we're going to do this right now there's still something wrong isn't there bill hey look who it is it's our old pal bill deran from the pacific northwest and the headquarters of punished props dot com bill how the heck are you what are you up to how you feeling

hello and good morning good morning My voice is a little hoarse from the weekend. You weren't on a little trip. Did you sing with the weekend? No, no, no. That's a shame. We were really hoping that was the case. But no, you went did nerd shit, right?

What happened? I did. I did a lot of nerd stuff this weekend. So, have you guys ever been to Maker Ferry? Did any of the Maker Fairs? Never had. I've wanted to go. And, yeah, there's a rep-wrap fair here that always coincides with something else that I want to go to.

I've, Wes in our chat room, Burgess Diesel went and I need to go in 2026. I'm going to go. When's the, did these all over the place? Are they still all California? Well, the event I went to was Maker Faire adjacent. And it was created because Maker Faire kind of took a break for a while. They stopped making them. They're doing them again.

But in the interim, a YouTuber named William Osmond said, I want my own Maker Faire. So he made one. Screw you and your Maker Faire. I'm making my own. We're going to have my own, our own maker fair with hookers and blackjack. Exactly. So his event is called OpenSauce. I believe this was the third year they ran it.

And it's kind of like the unholy union between VidCon and Maker Faire. Oh, wow. Interesting. Oh, yeah. Look at this. Wow, you got a pretty good crowd going here. Oh, heck yeah. All right.

So the last couple of years I watched from a. far. I really wanted to go, mostly because all the creators that are going to be. There are people from YouTube who make stuff mostly. And a lot of my friends were there, and this year I finally got to go. Nice. I planned last

minute, flew by the seat in my pants, got in, and got to have a great time all weekend long. It was super, super fun. They even held it at the San Mateo County Event Center, where they used to have Maker Faire, so I had the

had the same vibe, which is pretty awesome. And it felt, as an attendee, it felt a lot like Maker Faire. There's stuff all over the premises, both inside and outside, people with exhibits and really weird and cool projects that they're showing off. And it was just like this overload of creativity. And you can just wander around

and check it all out. So, for example, some of the projects people had, there were first of all, there were a ton of battlebots. A lot of the battlebots owners and drivers brought their battlebots. A lot of them are in the Bay Area, so there's a ton of them. I got to

I got to see Tombstone and Ice Wave and and Hygings and Malice and all my favorite battlebots were there. I didn't realize they had like fan names you could fanboy over like that. I thought it was like the MIT robot, but it's more than that.

It feels like, you know, the running man or something. like the names you're describing, yeah. That's great. Yeah, and Brittany and I are both big fans of Battlebots, although Britt wasn't there for this one. It was just me. There are vehicle builds.

Someone had a car they turned into a Ghostbuster car. Someone had a sob that they turned into an off-road vehicle. I owned three sobs myself, so I was pretty smitten with that one. That's a real sob story. You say that, Mr. funny man but there's a forum for people who work on sobs and it's called sobs stories oh i bet it is and i'll tell you what uh the sob people if you've ever known a like a hardcore sob fan in your in your life you'll know just how hardcore it goes

how deep that rabblehold goes and how still pissed they are that any of that changed or went away exactly yeah yeah oh my that was my family we owned a dozen or more sobs we uh we were into it. But yeah, 94 GM bought them and made them look dumb, so... Sure. We didn't get those. Those were cool, man. I miss them. So there was tons of robotics and 3D printing, lots of weird music and weird art.

There was some props and costumes. Just wandering around, there was a ton of stuff to see. And then there was a bunch of guests. Most of them were YouTubers, people who make stuff, and they had a main stage with all kinds of programming. basically you have all your favorite YouTubers in one place, you cram them up on a stage, you give them a topic, and they

would run with it. And it was a lot of fun. Live podcasts, they had panels on prototyping and AI and science. They even did some game shows. You would have really liked that, Brian. Yeah. I mean, so far, every 3D printing, cool, making stuff.

Cool, probably a lot of painting and stuff like that, minis and something like that. You know, this podcast, we should be, we should be speaking there. Right? Yeah. So OpenSauce is a, who's the YouTuber?

Is he called? William Osmond is the guy that started it. So he must be this guy right here. This dude on the ladder? Is that that that guy? I think that's him, right? Oh, you can't see it because you're on audio. But I think this might be the guy.

Anyway, I hadn't heard him before, but this is cool. And the sponsored list is pretty epic. You got like a bunch of people I like. All the 3D printer companies. Next to 360 was there. Game Maker was there. Wild. That's cool, man.

Did you key? Geez. Kind of a big deal. Very legit. Yeah. Yeah. And like I said, tons of stuff to do. And the guests were, for me, I wasn't part of the programming at all.

I wasn't even sure if I was going to make it. So I kind of flew down on Friday by the seat of my pants. I wanted to meet everyone. I've been really fortunate that I've been able to meet a lot of the people I look up to, especially on YouTube. But there were a handful I hadn't met yet. and they were all there Wow So a lot of my old friends were there

My friends Evan and Caitlin And a bunch of other YouTube people There was a ton of people I knew online Who I finally got to meet in person Which was really great And then my YouTube heroes So like I got to fist bump Hank Green Colin Furs was there

I got to awkwardly introduce myself to him I ran up to Destin from Smarter Every Day Because I brought my film camera, of course, because that's how I roll now. Yes, yes. Of course you are. Yep. Yeah, and Destin did a whole series on film, so I ran up to him waving my camera. Tastin, look at my camera.

He was very gracious. That's cool. Where are these photos? Can we see any of these, or are they not out there? It's got to be four to six weeks before any of my photos are developed. Got to get them developed. All right, I keep forgetting you're doing it. I got to finish the roll first, but yeah, it's going to be a hot minute.

Maybe next month when I'm on. It's such a freaking throwback. Every time I think about what you're doing, I'd love it. Yeah. Yeah. My daughter made a comment the other day. She said, hey, I hear Bill's doing film camera stuff. And I said, yeah, because she's doing, like, photo shoots all the time and all that.

And she goes, it made me crack open. So my dad, when he died, had this really great old cannon body. It was like a traditional camera. So she's putting all that stuff back together right now. Very excited about what she does with it. Yeah, but you helped inspire her, dude. It's a nice job. Good.

Good. I'm happy. I'm happy to hear that. I want to start a little film friend group and go out and be hipsters together. It's going to be awesome. Bring it back. You a bunch of Philistines or whatever they call you. Troglodites. What is it? No, that's not it. What's a call when somebody does all stuff? It's only a Luddite. It's a Luddite. There we go. Troglidites are only the ones that don't have Sega. Oh, that's right. She doesn't have Sega. It's a Troglidized. Sega. Well, that's fantastic, man. You should do a thing.

You should do a booth or something there, you know? Yeah, next, so I'll try and try and have more of an official presence next year. That'll be really fun. And I'm working on, now that I'm back home, I'm going to be working on my Bender Car project. So hopefully that'll be done for DragonCon, or at least driving by DragonCon. And then next year, I think that would be a really fun thing to bring to Open Sauce. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Well, there you have it.

Any additional content you'd like to leave with this before you go? Yeah, I'm just going to plug one of my own videos today here, because I'm real proud of it. Sure.

years ago. It's great, though. Grat you, too. So great, yes, for sure. Anyway, his request is, if I can find one, a cover of At the Beginning from Anastasia, the Don Bluth movie. It's definitely not a Disney movie,

despite the song's inclusion on a couple Disney cover albums. Come on now, people. It's a little weird. People have a, it's like a forced Mandela effect with that song. Yeah, very weird. This cover that I'm going to play is one of the sweetest ones I found,

and there's no non-sound alike. They all sound a lot like the original. The original was done by Richard Marks and Donna Lewis. Donna Lewis, who best known for that song, I love you always forever. Oh, I like that song. Yeah, it's a sweet song. I don't know any others, but I don't think she had any others.
