Loki, whoa, the next one season two episode two. So Wow those first 20 episodes they just flew by yeah, so much happened They were wonderful to be fair when we get 20 episodes into the show I don't I'm not still not gonna know what happened friend of mine was asking for context because he's gonna watch season two without season one And I was like why?  Yeah, that's right. I feel like throwing that in only complicates Alligator what's up with that? Oh, yeah Yeah, you're right ignore the loki's man. Like how do you even explain that first season? I don't know that anyone should You get 10 people in a room who've all watched it and said they like it and then asked them to relay the plot I bet you get a lot of different answers So many people think it's like a like a buddy cop duo with him and like Owen Wilson But I swear that happened for like an episode. Yeah, that's a lot more of Loki and Sylvie together. Yeah Yeah, that was not as fun and dynamic. Is there anything to say about that first episode? Last time we liked a lot of things that were the packaging so to speak the acting was good Some of the humor actually hits the sets are neat. There's Good Sometimes difficult to criticize you because we've got no foundations. I don't know where to begin Foundations are gone as far as I'm concerned They were already gone probably by the end of like episode two of the first season maybe even episode one Especially with that whole idea of oh this big machine has all of the timelines the disparate timelines They funnel into this to go back into the one timeline. It's like wow that seems new and contradictory But I don't even know what is or isn't victory anymore They contradicted themselves so many times that I can't make sense of anything in the show the temporal lube That's just something that's a thing. It's just like okay It was in this room There's this whole sector with this guy you've never met before but super important friends with Mobius. You're like, okay All right, sure. Yeah, I feel like he would have come up, but no, no, it's fine No, and then of course the whole thing of like so the TVA does operate in time and space I mean we already knew that because time progresses for Conversations The reason I was like a cartwork like that the TVA is because I think in season one It would have just been outright stated by somebody at some point that's just like well Yeah, because if you go back in time in the TVA you'd start like duplicating all over the play or like everything would fall upon you like Oh, yeah, because it would have to like basically the TVA is almost a concept that doesn't make sense in and of itself Like you'd have to do Controls just from saying like beyond time and space but has a timeline and it's like and then occupy space So it's already fucked and it's like, okay Well, how do I portray something that doesn't have time or space like well, it's pretty fucking hard actually Why the TVA doesn't come across as cringes like the crisis on infinite earths beyond time and space is really because of the production Yeah I will say if I was being pitched season two and they're like Sylvie's at McDonald's I'd be like we We have ideas are we fucking around cuz I mean if you want This changes everything this changes nothing. I just know which is just And I'm going to McDonald's you did it's so funny if both Sylvie and Loki got shot by the back of the head in the next episode They appeared we would just be like, yeah, I guess Yeah, I'll be curious if they want to restart the romance element that's gonna be something else What are you hating on the Scots now two rags no, just No, I'd never do that Always tease me with those better characters in the beginning. They still I think at this point I like remember you did like some of this Watch those movies and forget about this we can just leave us this is our job We we can just do something else Because I hate the MC now, but I kind of miss the old faster intro. I miss the flickering comics I thought it was really cool Very beginning, but then it gets replaced with all that stuff That is pretty funny London just in case you didn't know it's it's in England. Yeah, I've mostly everything does that but still I agree Well, it's just that the the meme is typically that when it's in America They'll put the city and then the state but when it's a different country, it'll be the country Would you bring any if you had full control not allow them to put London England there and instead wait for a character to reference it Or have some in the background have it. I think at this point I really would prefer to not do the text on screen that I would wait for that We pick it up from the accents and then the you know, just casual talks about different things culturally it'd be cool Give you a little It's a really yellow Even just second Justice skyline with no text on screen. I would prefer even though I think you can do better than that So wait, so he's that's the real life of security man from earth where he got snatched from I guess, right? He knows him I used to work with this guy. I'm confused. I don't know He's some kind of undercover agent. I think they said earlier Wait, so is he TVA undercover right now? Look at all use a drink, right? What are you drinking? Surprise me? How about you? Oh? I'm fine.  It's so annoying. Isn't it? It's too late as well. It's not even about whether or not they understand original Loki They don't care about original Loki now. He's not he's not original Loki anymore.  Oh, it's TVA lady What wait, so they're trying to capture him. Yeah, I feel like I missed the next time It's going on let him go because they want to have drinks By the way, you want to talk about like because I think this said sacred timeline So this is meant to be mainline MCU timeline. So Right no, there's no, that's the multi bus. Oh, is it all the okay? Did you just use magic for the first time and forever like it? Yeah, that's what it looked like You'd forget he's a God by the way. Yeah, you would forget that. I hate this show so much for that Me further away How is this happening you had you were like to me as a way the whole time How you perpetually Oh Well should have started with that. I didn't do that. Yeah, this is wait What was that? We're like two minutes in and it's retired literally Loki could like shout a word and make him appear And it would just be like yeah, that's how that works, but no, I guess he's lost him Oh, so that's just like a teleportation Yeah, which I guess is really useful. You want to have that handy this show is just so coherent I'm not rude I thought he was famous I guess that's why they don't like him. He's he's high-class.  All you're gonna do is antagonize all these people.  I forgot you had telekinesis that you should have been using this whole time, but okay, that's fine So now are you just sick of running madly after him? And so you're not gonna use your mini powers And mess with someone oh look at that Shadows are grabbing him well dream wouldn't do this it's still I was about to say it doesn't feel at all like you Would do it, but it's also like them remembering things that Loki could do To catch up I feel like we're being teased with the original Loki This Loki isn't the same Loki anymore Yeah, God it's been like that was actually just like an inch of something that was like in the wrong place I feel like I missed some dialogue at the beginning there like I'm not entirely sure why we're capturing that guy again Maybe we'll find out over the course That's a tempad what did you do to it? I put some colorful buttons on it for you. Haha. He's snarky I like it both sets CCC so it's a super secret cell What about this? Have OB check it out. See have OB check that it's like OB's our tech guy now He'll be involved all the time even though he wasn't at all in season one So that's something no, yeah, that's that's genuinely true Actually, yeah, very much enjoyed any scene with these three in it Oh, I think I'd rather see a show where OB's get up to in his little uh, you know In his little workshop. I like Owen Wilson in this. I think he's all right Do you think this is a higher priority than preventing a temple meltdown? No, no, no Focus on the temple. I agree seems prudent. Oh, I thought he was making fun of them I didn't realize he was asking genuinely. I was also kind of hoping that he'd be like Yeah, I'll take care of your random small problem while I'm trying to save the universe And he hits on rent players 10 pad. No hits, but I did find something else This is the only person who works at the TVA Does he know the producer or something section 42 should match with the system is that with the red light because we tried that already We'll try it again. Is this Mobius's office? I thought it was Loki's forever. He had like a desk in season one. It looks kind of like that one Yeah, it was his right now there on those are on those windows windows Yeah, I guess the windows little graphs and stuff the perfect microwave Popcorn algorithm miss minutes is helping rent slayer. So she isn't married that is confirmed when I was in the past I heard something a bit an old conversation between rent slayer and he who remains really not know he's called Kang yet This looks like Kang he remains as cringe. Yeah, it's a long Kang is cringe too, but it's implied It's just a rigged 10-pad X fire says it somehow blocks TVA tracking. That's not what it does Oh, he knows I looked at it from a distance. I know it is. Haven't you read the TVA guidebook? Memorized it. I feel like Mobius would have memorized it. I want to follow them did what else do they do with their lives? This definitely doesn't block any trackers. That's for sure Whoa, let's take her on a brad wolf. What was that weird?  I thought she was just Security person. She was one of the guards that turned earlier than the others in the first season But I don't see why she's here really. What did you do to this 10 pad? It blocks your trackers. No, it doesn't What is it designed for X5? It's Brad.   Oh, we doing this All right, this is theme isn't it?  Look how much it got to Loki.  It's riveting Keep going. I want to hear more. Oh god. It should be water off a duck's back with him. Yeah Promise you think you're special, but you're not oh my god It's pretty special. Yeah. He's a nice giant raised by Odin who can cast spells I feel like that's special at the end of the day You just make everything worse.  Loki this is just what the writers think of him. Wow, that's getting him.      They didn't just say terrible awful things Where is Sylvie whatever one and leans in like that call their bluff. Don't move if they want to kiss. Yes. Yeah Also, that's true you are way too obsessed with her Yeah, you know for like an hour. He's holding him back. Go Mopius. I got a little tense No, you can't point it out to it makes it worse play along with us answer our questions and we just get on with it Torture him you could be an actor. I'm not an actor. I'm an analyst, but thank you. You're not an analyst I'm not a hunter. Well, I mean he is an analyst because you've been doing it for a while Even if he's unaware of the true of context. He's still an analyst the TVA is not your real home. Mopius Isn't even your real name. Who is this guy? He's Brad. He has all the answers. Do you have any idea what kind of life you might have left behind? Who might be waiting for you back there? I mean do you care well, I'm sorry. What would these questions in episode one? We were these questions right after this will happen between Loki the big characters You're just a know where man This is annoying me because all of this stuff should have been discussed by all the main characters by now He's just slapped him.  Where are we? I was following you One of you was in front of the other Mopius you were clearly ahead of me How about a slice of pie? I thought they were gonna make another joke there. I was waiting for it But I guess we gave up on it. I gotta sit down and have a pie and talk about their lives Oh, I'm key lime pie. Does anyone remember that from Dexter anyone? I'm sorry It's the key lime pie room a room for key You have an entire room dedicated to key lime pies, especially when they're stored in such an inefficient way How do you know it could be magic? Well, if you have magic then surely you could do better than this Who just his job is I make pies that's me But now if I want to eat pie with someone else and we don't want to have the same kind of pie We have to like It won't taste right in here. It's talking about Avengers. Why what's going on? He just said the you got so angry to him.  I'm so angry with my father and my brother held the whole of New York City hostage with an alien army They just need him to Crossify everything is ever done. I just don't know why that I mean that is on brand They do that with basically all their characters at this point and any of them with a long history We're like, well, let's ruin it by making fun of it or ignoring it Does the pie room need salt and pepper shakers? Optional, you know don't you want to see the life you're supposed to live before they kidnapped you and brought you into the TV Why wasn't this the first scene of season two?  He's like no like my life is here. I like it here That's an old Thing that I just don't I just don't even care to know he's definitely the most interesting character They could just open up old wounds or it's something I can't go back to or like why bother I just oh, yeah, and it could turn out that he did know about it He has checked it and he did not enjoy what he saw sort of thing x5 is gonna talk We just have to find the way in all right So what aren't we asking this time? No, you get it you start poking him and then you see if that works and then you start Putting things under his fingernails and then you just work up from there x5 is a good hunter So does it really make sense that he could spend all that time down there and not find sylvie? What Mobius just said was absurd. It's like, yeah, he's a really good hunter He couldn't have spent that much time on earth and not found sylvie. It's like, yeah, he could Do you know how big earth is? Earth is like a star wars planet where everyone meets at one spot of it This is again for claiming that sylvie was on earth in this timeline of all of the timelines in this uh multiverse He's the only one who knows where sylvie is. Oh, what? Okay. Why does he think that? I'm just gonna make him talk. Well, come on. You're the god of mischief Right. Oh god. We're gonna do wait. We can finally reference it. We're gonna do soba. Maybe convince him He's talking to a friend by Loki's illusions. Can you imagine they were like, let's copy his braid into a disc and simulate all the ways we could possibly do See I just like the the amount of work that went into the sets for the show really neat Yeah, I mean, it's probably the best-looking marvel production since like I have a feeling This was the last one that they're putting that kind of effort into because it was successful the others they sort of like Throwing out quick. Yeah Yeah, but it's it's weird, isn't it because this show is this one way more expensive than the other ones I mean secret invention cost over 200 million dollars. Yes. I assume the money That was just like place about the approach seems like those were just like houses Hire the right people and give them the right amount of time. I guess in those respects anyway Yeah, this looks like effort back here. Not specifically budget. I got this definitely seems like Yeah, sleeping on a great is ironically not great. Yeah, but brad can handle it. Hello, Loki I'm ready for round two. Something I was curious about is is he allowed to hurt brad and if so, yeah We would have gotten our answers real quick if we had original Loki. Oh, yeah Oh, no, I thought that was a sort of device. Yay. It's actually oh, it's a vacuum cleaner.  It's going to be a funny thing He could just run out the door. He could just leave Take my chances with those two mooks out there Well, he's got that neck brace on that means they can they can zap him back This is cute.      I was at brad's. Jesus Christ Hey, open up Oh, wait. Loki's going on. This is part of the plan. I have a feeling. Yeah part of it. Yeah, that's right They're doing the ruse. Hey You sniffed us out brad.  Do the double triple cross. Come on It's kind of isn't it weird that like you couldn't lock someone out of getting in? Yeah.  Oh, you're not a villain. Stop it. Is that the vacuum from tele-tubbies?  I don't even know. It doesn't even look intimidating It looks like well, it's supposed to be funny It does look like it cleans rugs Like I said, it's supposed to be funny So they're gonna have to really work hard if they want to go serious. You can just push it over. It looks like a break What? Don't just touch random buttons on that. Okay, mobius.     I've done some terrible He keeps saying this. I mean this uh this like insecurity on the part of the right I wonder if a payoff for this will be like Wow, it felt like the real Loki in there the villainous and then you'll get like an expression from Loki or he's like Yeah Maybe remember this season's about Loki finding himself. I swear. I don't know where they are I want to believe you but you're just you're such a good actor This is like the real Loki doing a cosplay of the old Loki. That's what it feels like It's just like I want to see zaniak. I want to see the marvel Writing's version of a bad show when all they make is bad shows when they try. Maybe that's the key I was supposed to go look for Sylvie, but then I I I bailed. Okay. I bailed This isn't even particularly that Intense on part of the audience members. I think like seeing because I just don't believe you'll ever crush him I just don't believe it.  Just tell me where Sylvie is Well, I guess now you can stop back before it turns shitty. I like how you let him go and he hadn't got the information yet There you go Got there in the end like is that it show so you got yeah, that's the teeth You said you bailed on the mission. Yeah, but I found her first She's on a branch And the branch is on a limb and the limb on a tree a tree, you know He was all apart of the plan ha ha, but but then they'll have that line Like I said, it's like I really was convinced for a second that you might kill him Loki and then Loki'll be like Yeah, wow they fooled brad, but they didn't fool the five of us watching the show The truth is Mobius. I did let a little of my old self out there.     Yeah, look at how small that is. Maybe the font is really small writing. He's really small Yeah, it's really it's single spaced the containment door is a lot So without miss minutes to help us override the lock or stuck. Can you use a large gun? Yeah, or can you melt it with a dark saber or a prune gun? You know the thing that melts everything can you put the door in one of those boxes? And squeeze it down and crush it. I'll build the device But you need to find a way in or it won't matter. Okay, mcdonald. That's their side quest then. Yeah, see they did the thing Look, it's oklahoma, not america Because you know that oklahoma is in america, but you don't know that london is It's pretty funny. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're calling that perfectly. There's so many things that do that It's I don't get it. Yeah, because it should have just said oklahoma america, which would be like Nice truck, that is a nice truck. Like why would you even need it? You got an american flag there You got a ford there. You got a mcdonald's in the 70s. Yeah, it's pretty blatant. You know Yeah, that was what I was saying. Sorry. That was that is an american flag.  Come on. You even take you 30 seconds to figure it out That's more enjoyable than just having it straight up told to you and let's be honest if you didn't figure it out Is anything that what do you do? Yeah, like you're okay. This works here now Oh god, I can't even express how much I don't care It's a little unfortunate because I'm more than happy to just pick apart what's going on with these three and obi and stuff But with here, I'm like here we go This is like the alice segments on batwoman when I just want to she's nuts and amazing and I don't care For a soka or I'm just like as soon as she's on screen.   Oh my gosh. Can you believe it? They reunited after all this time After a lot like a week. I have a number two no pickles medium fry and a medium coke Listen, I haven't got all day. Are you gonna order something? Oh, are they memeing? Can we talk? My break's in five minutes. Oh for a second there. I thought they were gonna be like she's um, she doesn't remember it or something Imagine if she said It's a short break. So talk fast.  It doesn't matter. Yeah.  Yeah, pull that up like fixing nobody sits on the coat like that. Yeah, it makes it awkward to like lean Yeah, the leaner moves. Yeah.  You got to be careful I uh get on with it. No, you got to wait. I haven't come here to make trouble Then why are you here? Oh, but I don't know because you're at mcdonald's Do I understand what you did? You created the multiverse silvi I've been pulled through time between the past and the present. I feel like that's not even the first thing to talk about It really is the multi first part. I just get to the point like silvi. I was in the future And I saw you does that matter that could work anything burger king the tv a is in danger and you was there I need to know why so you see the future now cool God, I hate her so much as much as I'd love to see the tv a burnt to the ground I have no intention of going back there. I'm happy at mcdonald's. Leave me alone. She's going to reject the call to adventure What this is her hero's journey.  It's going to happen Is it that sounds a lot like the future's already been written and we both know that it hasn't not anymore Do you? Like how do you know if you and I don't work together on this?  She's just so likable remember when you stabbed the guy in the castle And it made things happen that you don't even you stab the magical cloud in the space castle It did things things that made the time go all flimpy and now the world might end or something And it might be because of you you can't just run away to mcdonald's I thought you were setting us up for an ambush. Hell you were just setting us up for a great meal That feels uh feels a bit product placement.  Oh, they can't do that. No it's the sponsorship No, like for real they wouldn't be able to have that line and get the sponsorship They'll be like man mcdonald's hit speed is amazing in the 70s as it is now, you know, whoo-hoo. I sure do love my mcdonald's 50,000 locations worldwide or something 40 billion customers said And now here we are Enjoying a meal like gentlemen gentlemen don't eat it mcdonald's Well, I guess those guys in the back look like gentlemen. Oh, it's the hamburgler. Look at him over there Great guy stealing people's hamburgers gives them to the hamburglers They even have the tree around in the 70s or did he get married like later? I think it took a lot of time to create such an in-depth character like they had to really focus What happened those guys? I don't use them anymore the mcdonald's family. I think a lot of them died They got old man Is this a setup? Hey What's going on? I'm drinking my water. Oh my god. What a twist. He led them here on purpose To get them in trouble or something. You know, I think the other the other tba guys are going to come in here Give them a signal and know they Maybe she'll show up to get by the zaniacs getting a sequel and you're both invited Hey, I would like to see zaniac and zaniac too. We can wait all day No, we can't we need to talk about this back at the tba.  I mean we're getting closer and closer to the end of the episode Is something big gonna happen? Nothing has to happen.  Oh, is this like an apocalyptic event area or something? This is god All this for silvi? Oh, no, she does it. Okay. Why didn't lokey do this?  I can't remember. Is that a lokey?  How how could they blow up every single branch? Aren't they like countless Oh, look, she had nanotech I don't even think it's nanotech. I think it's wizard tech or whatever. It's nanotech It's nanotech. It's even if it's wizard tech. It's nanotech. All right. It's the same idea. It's the same principle Well, you just mean cg suits. Yeah, she has that because of her wizardry. That's which to be fair lokey had that and i'm fine with that Illusions, but but and she's like female lokey, right?  This doesn't solve any problems, right 30% of the branches this doesn't prune 30% of the branch 30% of infinity.  Why isn't lokey yet spawning like a million lokeys It's just like How it the time it takes to prune a timeline a billion billion billion billion infinity have been made I just don't understand how this could possibly have but they can't even if they prune all of them They'll still be new ones because that's like the nature of what's happening.   Where does he go? So he goes to the planet Don't ever think it Oh, don't you dare pose What did you just do what is that? Is there a mana class like who knows? I like how she said when you build up don't overthink it to use your ultimate Don't overthink it Oh, we gotta I guess there we go if it worked that way at least that'd be cool to know But we just have no idea anytime they do imagine isn't that so strange the way that that played out because technically what happened there Is they saved like almost? Yeah, basically countless lives But you wouldn't think that that's what actually happened in that scene because it played out so quickly and undramatic Yeah, what do we what's what's happened? What are they looking at? What's happened to the timelines? I have no idea what the reveal will be. It could be anything They will they're all oh On the timelines are coming back how? Those are people.  This is how it's always been. This is what you've been doing It's unreal. They're supposed to be people, but they didn't realize until they realized or whatever To kill a great timeline isn't just to kill everyone that's alive. It's to kill everyone who was ever alive in that timeline Oh, they got it now. I guess also just how is the secret timeline looking like that? How is that possible? How was it that they were able to with that few people destroy that many timelines? Did you see there was like one branch? It's like why is there a bazillion branches? There's many multiverses that have been destroyed. Is android garfield.  The tba is the problem It's broken. It's rotten You're rotten. I'm going home If it's still there, please don't it's harder At least she's gone for a while. You say that I feel like she'll be back beginning a next episode This is what I say about the mcu being like the nightmare dimension when it comes to like franchises and stuff Look at how casually they just erased countless trillions of people and surely this significant event will be registered in other You know projects because I mean it's not like the tba the only people paying attention to the multiverse at this point It's so weird to have them actually acknowledge the reality of the situation for once. I feel like what's happening I'm confused when they never did that. I never did that in season one. Hey silvi. Are you okay? Just want to check he seems like a nice fellow.  Yeah Uh, if she'll be here as long as the meth ain't set in no go back to chuck.  Riva was retarded, but at least they attempted something with riva. Yeah, you knew you knew what their plan was It was so bad Well, maybe it does stem from I want this to be a show that goes through multiple seasons But they have no plan because the mc doesn't really have a comprehensive plan. At least I don't see how it could at this point I always love the uh, the insane list of producers executive producers and co-executive That guy's name was Tommy turtle. He's a good name. Good name.  Tommy turtle. Yes, Tommy turtle. I'm just trying to figure There's so little to speculate on too. It's like what's gonna happen next. It's like, I don't fucking know I mean apparently we we fixed the whole problem with Loki teleporting around But now we need to fix the temporal loom, but the door is closed because it's only getting opened by the aura of the guy who Builded which is Kang who's dead. So that temporal loom problem, right? That's been like delayed significantly Because of all the timelines that got obliterated. It has to be right. I mean, that was the problem There was too many of those branches and now they nuked A lot of them But the problem is I think they're gonna basically forget about this massive basically infinity war level Uh, like consequence next episode will basically be like it didn't happen. They'll just move on as normal I don't know how you do stakes with this kind of show, but they're not even trying No, they've given up on that a long time ago. See I'm this Brad guy. He just he was one of the people He was I guess one of the tva guys who was hunting for sylvie and he found her But then he was like no when to make movies Okay, and even when you guys were saying about the um the black lady of like she should feel a certain way about this because of the Revelation and the first one. Is that even the same version of that character or didn't I think so I have no idea Loki explains what happened to them both right that everything is fake and that the tva people take like that's all big revelations But like we have this is what I mean about the fact that brad brought it up to like torture these characters when it's like Where were their conversation? Then we do it after that scene, but only briefly and basically mobius says like yeah I'm not interested in that. It's like, okay, and that's really all I had to draw from that episode Anyway, because the stuff that I feel like was still could be used It's just they're not doing a very good job of it the rest of it like trying to generate a plot out of this absolute soup is uh Is difficult that's why I mentioned that lady because I think one of the one compliments I can give the first season is like I kind of felt something during her arc Just for a split second the idea when she realized that it was all a lie She actually took action and she wanted to find out the truth And when she's told silvi that she saw her life and she looked happy I was like, oh my god, I kind of kind of feels something for a second. I hope this lady like figures this out I just like the fact that she once she got the answers she took action and where's that character now She's just an npc in the background doing nothing.  It's like this big organization, but it's always those three solving all the problems Yeah, like nobody else works here that guy gets way too much green time It would go a long way to have a wider cast of tv a characters instead of going back to the same two people over and over and over again Yeah, different takes especially because yeah, you could get their perspectives on what's happening with the time stuff and what they're doing and what the point is and As much as I as much as I hated on the the character Renslayer kind of provided that in the first season where she was different from all the other ones We released you got different perspectives from each person It just feels like everyone has the same personality in the tv now and there's a four of them If you had a show where they were going to all kinds of different places Like guardians of the galaxy one of its big strengths I think is all the cool places that they go to if they had Them going in the show to all kinds of crazy places all over the cosmos And then one of those places was just a 1970s mcdonald's it would feel oddly Far more fitting and it would be really cool that oh this one's actually this one's on earth in the 1970s And it would feel more Appropriate that the randomness just kind of put them there instead of oh we're on earth again It's like the most important place in the mcu Especially with marvel you have all of these wacky places on the cosmic side that you could visit But you just don't just seems weird part of the reason I feel like we should be hyper critical Specifically star wars and marvel because both of these are like the potential for ideas is limitless You could do whatever the fuck you want and you do you know It would probably Serve them well to do that because they could reference places in the comics And you can put that in the trailer and get people hyped up about the possibilities Even though it probably won't amount to much The way that they write these projects But it seems like it would make sense if you visit Locations from the comics that are in different places in the universe That'd probably be something of a selling point for the show They give them points for every little thing that they do Oh, they gave them points for uh They give them points for like two or three seconds in uh multiverse and madness When they were going through all those different universes So like even seeing those places for a couple of seconds got you something So imagine you had a whole episode that was set in one of these locations This show would be an acceptable framing device to go to a lot of places that we've been to across the universe as well That's a strange experience with these shows like you'd think um, yeah Secret invasion one of my big things with that was like it just shape shift This is one of the coolest things you can do in a story and like you guys had no ideas for it They do nothing with it I'm tired of sci-fi Having no creative ideas. They're opening scene being like everybody's a scroll, but not you fred Wait a minute It's a point that I trust deeply with everything. I can't wait to tell you about all those crazy shape-shifters out there.  What a shitty start and just matter information, right? It's like seeing um I don't forget his name bilbo new bilbo Milbo on Freeman seeing him you're like pretty sure he's not in the whole season So this is just a meme like a like a he's gonna be a scroll. He'll be killed or something and that'll be that There's just no layered right and ever with this stuff That's what I mean like we have the same in this right like the single dimensional sort of loki. Don't do it And then it's like ha ha tins out that was just a ploy remember how he said you're a good actor It's like no i'm an analyst because he did some acting see The opportunity for suspense with loki. They're just pissing it away because you just we don't believe him anymore But it's like that's not you like you don't actually enjoy it anymore It feels like they're trying to tap into that now because like maybe the people who complain about the first season But it's just not believable anymore. That's why I was saying this feels like Like the real loki doing like a cosplay of like the old loki like pretending to be himself But that's not you anymore. You're soft.   Yeah, I always reference reservoir dogs The you know what which um, we're seeing i'm talking about the torture scene Suck in the middle with you. Yes. Yes, you know, I know you don't even really see a lot of it It's just more so the performances the music the screaming and the way they shoot it You don't need to show everything But if you have creative ideas you can do torture scenes and such It's one of my favorite ones and like if they're not willing to like have that those type of teeth At least have the creativity to give us the illusion of violence But everything has to be so soft and so nerve and even if they like if they acted Enough with a serious threat That would have been like you can have just threats that are really dark Yep, you know like here's what's gonna happen. Give them the speech of here's all the things I'm going to do to you So tell me now and I won't have to do them. That's a lost art form like the villain that can torture. I agree True Secret invasion Actually did it properly But it was because they had other goals not because they were trying to make a good Torture seed they actually had to get her to get the information out of him quickly And they needed here to confirm he was a scroll which that was not the best way to do it But it kind of works in terms of fighting that out and giving a very credible threat to the kind of damage You're gonna do remember he even he even stood by with after losing a finger in that until she made his blood boil with some kind of Injection that one that would be one of the ones that referenced for a decent modern Yeah, isn't it crazy though? It's like oh you did that right in an among the same show terrible shit But having someone who can get the answers just like regs regs was saying earlier just with their mystique and like The words that they used intimidation threats and intimidation just being able to do that and make it convincing We don't even get to the violence I miss someone who can just get the job done and like really command. It's just competency I'm we love it when we watch these shows and we just see someone who's good at their job because it seems to be such a rare Thing these days that someone's just competent. That is low key season two episode. That's low key everyone Love it great stuff. Excellent. Thanks. No fucking. Yeah, I think I wonder if this is going to be the kind of one That one with through it would just be like Oh, well That was a thing. I doubt I'll ever think about that again kind of like a soka, but a soka annoyed me more with its boredom I don't know if this one will get there. We'll see because I kind of like the actors Yeah, I saw that in mind That's true.  Nothing's happened really?  He got me. What'd you bring me?

Mindbenders out only to discover that On one of them the the The o-ring has snapped So I gotta I gotta replace an o-ring on one of these guys But but the other one the other one is intact.

Thank you chris And I I felt like, you know, the GI Joe camouflage Was gonna be appropriate for discussing the GI Joe number number 300 Does um Does mind better have three nipples, you know, um, see the problem is he's Let's say, um See he's he he it's covered by the the chain Um, so you you can't really tell you can't really tell um So so that's that's an undetermined answer to that question And by the way, oh like this is like some s and m stuff here. Look at look at what he's wearing He's like got no shirt. He's wearing chains. He's got a cod piece and a cape that that's, you know, um It's it's it's not you know, you're typical, you know Going to walmart wear um Yes, his his his nipples chafed so So yes, um, but before we get started Before we get started two things, um number one There is still a little bit of time to participate in Timmer's charity drive Um, that's going to the end of the month, but we're almost at the end of the month the video explaining how it works is in the description of this video Uh this live stream so just go look at the link and uh check that out and participate if you can, uh, please That's a very good and important thing that Uh that we do every year and timmer spearheads that so i'm very happy to be a part of it I am donating a prize for the For the drawing so make sure you check that out. Also today is tuesday. That means there is a new Half the battle video from timmer today and, uh This one is about the scandals of hasbro Of which there were many so uh check out timmer's video. Um, so anyway Um, I wanted to start with that And uh, where shall we go next? Um, it's It's only two minutes after seven by my clock. So Who's got lots of time? Um, uh, he'd make a good wrestler. Yeah. Yeah, he's he's gotta he could have a wrestling theme here He could have a wrestling theme. Oh man Okay, so um the reason I have two dr. Mindbenders is because I have the cape variant So, um for those of you that don't know, um, he came with two different cape capes, uh, the One of them was like this with the cobra emblem Uh printed on it and the other one Was with a patch that was kind of just glued onto the cape Um, so I had to get both I did find both But the patch on this one is starting to come loose the glue is Failing so I'll have to decide if I want to uh repair that or not But uh, I'll put him in here and we'll uh, we will use our intact Our intact dr. Mindbender now, um Some background on on dr. M Uh, he was a dentist who uh ran some mind control experiments on himself and went mad um, he he's initial role was as An interrogator, um, essentially a torturer.  Hello, rob vegas. Nice to see you. Hello rich Thank you for being here Um, oh did I say hello to cyclonus? I don't know if I said hello to cyclonus, but hello cyclonus if I didn't say hello to you Um, so that that's mindbender. That's who we're who we're looking at. Um, so So Where do we start we've got two things to to look at here. We've got we've got the comic book and we've got, um Dr. M It's and by the way, I've broken the trend here. I do not have a blind box to open I Don't have one because I didn't think to get one So we are we are not doing the blind box this week because I didn't get one besides which, you know So far my luck has been absolutely zero, right? I've gotten everything but A joe character in those blind boxes Um, hey, Dave. E nice to see you. Thank you very much for being here Dave so Yeah, we've got like a couple representatives from australia here. We've got of course our friends from the united states Thank you all for being here Um, let's let's start with the comic book. Okay. Let's start with this. Um, now I have two covers Um And I can show you that No, no spoiling in that Um, yes zazel is here. Hello, jeff. Thank you for being here. I'm sorry. I'm trying to Peel the tape off of this without Getting that in the microphone um um Yes, I I could say I got another tila So we've got two covers here and Let's see Yeah, um, and I think both of these are by by jamie solovan if i'm if i'm not mistaken Uh-huh Yes, both are by uh jamie solovan and this one um, yeah, this one is I think the the main cover, sorry That's the front. Uh, this is a wraparound cover and it has like I haven't counted them, but I think that's roughly one trillion Gijo and cobra characters in this image You know that took a while to draw um So that's the wraparound cover and then this is the b cover um, which has cobra characters standing in front of the terror drone and a good uh, uh good representation of cobra characters there um We have our our old favorites along with uh some more obscure character. You know what this is Uh, yeah, check this out. This is like Destro's uh gang right up here And and like iron grenadiers back there. So this has got some iron grenadiers here down in front um, but um But it's got some some standard cobra guys, too I mean you've got a a techno viper back here and you've got some cobra bats You have a couple different generations of cobra bats There's a cobra snake armor there So, uh, really nice nice cover. This one is not not a wraparound cover has the the basic logo in the back um, so um Anybody sneak in that I haven't been able to say hello to hello to anyone. Hey andrew andrew the guy's so nice They named him twice. Nice to see you. Thank you very much for being here so, um Please cat don't destroy my stuff um, so this um the creative team on this we have the writer larry hama Of course um artist s l galant Inks by maria keen colors by jay brown Of course, we have a letter editor letter editor group editor and then Research specialist diana davis and I wanted to give a special shout out to diana davis She is sometimes in our live chat but not all the time But um, I To diana if you happen to see this I wish you well. I hope so things go very well for you Diana is someone who has been very active in the fan community for quite some time And it's nice to see somebody who's actually from the fan community contributing to Something official like the book so So so thank you diana for all that you've done over the years And uh, and I and I hope you do well and I wish you well Um, sorry the cat is absolutely going bonkers um What was I saying? Yeah, anyway, so I wanted to uh Sorry, the cat's very distracting. I wanted to uh, to uh, give a shout out to diana um, I I've only sort of met diana in person um In in the sense that we were in the same room at one time I think it was the joe the joe con in loveland, colorado And I I knew Uh, I knew who she was Uh, but I didn't know her personally and she wouldn't have known me at all So I've only met her in the sense that we were in the same room at one time But you know, I've I've had the opportunity to you know, follow her on the social medias And she seems like a great person and of an excellent an excellent choice of someone to Uh contribute to the book. So that's that's really cool. Shout out to diana. So Um I'm not gonna spoil the ending. Okay Uh, hey yo joe. Nice to see you and dale. Uh, nice to see you as well Um, oh thane woods. I don't think I saw I said hello to things. Hello thane woods And rich if I didn't say hello to rich. Hello. Uh, thank you for joining us this evening um So I'll talk a little bit about the the beginning of the book and the setup, but I'm not gonna spoil the ending Uh This is issue number 300 This is the final issue of of the idw series. So this is the series Published by idw this series picked up where the marvel series left off The marvel comic series ended on issue number 155 And the idw series is ending on issue number 300 Um for that reason Um For that reason and I don't want to spoil anything But for that reason, I think everyone was expecting the Uh the ending of the book to be uh more Of a conclusion Which makes the ending a little bit surprising Hey, Sean. Nice to see you. Yo, joe is correct. It is exactly right. You managed to do uh 877 cch Is hcc 788 backwards you are correct, sir.  Hello McClew-Turig nice to see you. Thank you for being here. Uh, so uh Billy comes back as a blue ninja no spoilers bart no spoilers um, so um, so yeah, I mean the artwork is you know, uh SL galant has done a lot of joe artwork. So, you know, um, he he's pretty reliable and it it involves You know a lot of the core characters Um, yes snake eyes has been gone for a long time. There was um Kind of a a substitute or snake eyes part two If you will But this is supposed to be the original snake eyes Returned sort of sort of from the grave so So that's kind of where the book starts and It involves the joes, you know, coming in to try to rescue him But but I will say I will say that when I got to the last page, that's not what I was expecting Um, that's just really not what I was expecting. So, um So who knows What the future will will bring I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to spoil it um But but there are some things that we already know there are some things that we already know We we know that The gi joe and transformers license is going to a different comic book company So it will continue in some capacity. There have been a big question Hello j dioramas. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here. Hey, hello bad ape um so there But there were some questions as to whether The larry hama series would continue or if they would just do something completely new with it um Uh This this this leaves this does not answer that question entirely. So um I have to I have to assume that we are going to get a larry hama series. Hello explorer. So Thank you very much for being here. Yes. So that's That's what that that's all I can say I want you to actually get the book get the book purchase the book at your or your local comic shop or Order it if you need to I don't want to you know, spoil it. But the point is um It was expecting the ending to be you know a bit a bit more conclusive The fact that it wasn't Raises eyebrows. There's my eyebrow raising right now. You see that Oh look both eyebrows are raising that that was my expression when I was reading reading it is uh eyebrow raising um, and you know Dr. Meinbender is all over this book. So it's actually kind of appropriate that that we're we're looking at dr. Meinbender this evening. So uh, hey, that's um That's a synergy. It's uh, you know, it's it's um It's it's what the french call a certain. I don't know what um, so Uh, what we got Um, the uh Sparkster is gonna get the holiday optimus prime soon. That's very nice. That's the holiday That's where optimus prime is is santa claus. Uh, we transforms into a sleigh with reindeer. It's really great That's a great one. That's a great optimus prime. Uh, hey gray fox. Nice to see you. Um, Yes, you are late. Um, that means you you were supposed to have brought snacks for everyone. I hope you did Uh, hcc the graphic novel coming soon like the hcc graphic novel like the graphic novel about me Uh, yes coming any minute Um, oh if you if you mean the graphic novel about this I I assume That this will be, um Uh, this will be published in graphic novel form. This is I mean, this is part five of the story That they were doing all in part five So At some point sure, it should be it should be collected um Yeah, see joe fan 84 wants snacks, so I hope you brought some I hope you brought some i'll give you a minute to to distribute the snacks among The rest of our guests Ah So, yeah, um, I don't think I can say anything more about it without spoiling it, but I do encourage you Uh, yeah, see we have a second on the snacks Um, uh, I do encourage you to uh, to actually get the book Support the brand support larry Um, and uh, plus it's a it's a milestone. This is a milestone issue. Hey, hey christian bricks Um, uh, hello den mark from the united states. Nice to see you. Uh, you missed 23 minutes. I will start over I'm just gonna repeat everything that I said from the beginning.  Nice to see you Uh, uh, yeah, where are the swedish fish? Uh, so Yes, but I you know, I encourage everyone to To support the brand uh to support larry. Um, and uh And we will get another iteration of gi joe from a new publisher Uh, hello jump in general. Nice to see you. Hello stone great stone gate creations. Nice to see you as well Um Thane bought uh brought uh lima bean sea rations. Um Those are the ones that are like they're worth the most hated, right? That sounds delicious Um chocolate Um, uh T squallers says hey man is form bx still around. I have a friend trying to get in touch with him Um, I have not been able to reach kevin. Uh, hello christ mayor. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here Uh form bx 257 who has been a friend to all of us for quite some time None of us have heard from him in quite some time So the answer to that is I don't know. Um Hello varonic award. Oh, thank you. Dave for the super chat Whatever happened to the devil's due continuation of the original marvel run That's a good question and to answer that question. You would oh, thank you Uh, the killer weasler donation for snacks. Hey, we're this is this is Working out. Hello. Hello veronica. Thank you for being here. Um What was it? Oh, uh the the book after action report which I showed off in a previous live stream That covers the devil's due continuity. I'm not as familiar with the devil's due continuity So I am not a qualified expert to answer that question. Um, but I I mean, I guess Um, I mean, I guess that continuity is kind of its own It's branch offshoot. I guess Um Uh, there was I guess there was a question about the new publisher A new publisher has the rights to publish the old gi joe stuff. Yeah, I think the license includes that Uh, because that's I mean it would have to otherwise Um when idw had the license they wouldn't have been able to Uh do the the reprint books So, um, so yes um So yes um Hey everyone, um, so Uh, yeah the uh We should we will get another iteration of the gi joe comic book series um, I I kind of hope that we get a couple iterations of the comic book series because Obviously, I would like the larry hama series to continue. I grew up with larry hama series Uh, so I mean that's just that's legacy, right? That's that's just important to The brand and its history um but We've got stuff like this. We've got the classified series, which is Well, it started out kind of doing its own thing and then it kind of sort of Became a clone of you know the vintage stuff but I I'd kind of like to see uh, something take advantage of the um The the classified version of gi joe some kind of like Reimagining of it. I I'd like to see that because that I think is what this is missing the most um is some kind of a storyline some kind of um Some kind of lore to go along with it. Yes. Uh comic tropes is correct. The new publisher will be, uh Robert Kirkman, uh skybound imprint with image comics You may know Robert Kirkman from The Walking Dead. So I mean that's a that's a good person to take it over I think that's that's a good sign. That's a good sign um, but I I think I really think that's what The classified series is missing. We have these figures. We have a few vehicles. That's all well and good But What makes this something other than just an upscaled version of the vintage figures? I I'd like to see it kind of Do its own thing now. There is a little bit that now I it is not I would not be correct in saying that there's no storyline Related to this at all the the the cat is causing absolute chaos. It's a good thing. You guys can't see that direction It's a good thing the camera isn't facing that direction pure chaos happening right behind this camera Um, oh, hello rat face. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here um Uh, there is some because they did the video game, right? They did the video game a couple years ago That was, you know loosely based on the classified designs Um, I I got it. It wasn't great. Hello cobra island. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here. It wasn't great I'm not a super video game guy. So I not the best judge, but Uh, I don't think it was Extremely successful. Uh, they're the role playing games Also integrate some of the classified designs. So it is not true to say that there's no media related Uh, but I'd like to see some kind of more comprehensive lore That's specifically rated related to the classified series because I I really feel like that's what's missing Uh, hello daruti. Nice to see you Uh, no, I actually even if I wanted to uh, like I'd have to like turn the entire thing So so no, I'm not going to turn to the camera. Um, uh, thank you, Dave We'd love to see a new series with a new writer. I love larry, but it would be nice to see a new interpretation That's that's how I feel about it. Now. I do want larry's series to continue uh, you know larry if anybody has earned the right to Continue writing that series larry has Uh, hello, kory. Thank you for being here. Oh, kory just got his that's awesome Um, I really think that larry has earned the right to continue if he wants to but in addition to that Yeah, I'd like to see I'd like to see Um, a reimagining of it, uh from from a different perspective And I I'd like to see that maybe um Maybe center around The actual product that is actually on the shelf. So this wasn't on the shelf. I had to order this Cobra island Hit 200 subscribers. Congratulations Cobra island. Uh, hello chris mayor. Did I say hello to chris mayor? Induct your cat into gi joe. Uh, that is straight in the mouth. Well, let's see. Um, there is there is a cat in gi joe. There is um the bobcat Uh spearheads bobcat, uh, so so there is some precedent for it um But but anyway, so I think let's let's let's let's go ahead and tear into this. Let's go ahead and open Mindbender here and take a look at um at this figure so Oh, wow, this is That's interesting. Um, so all right. So here's the box It's got the artwork on the back and notice that they're not just using generic artwork anymore It's now character specific artwork. That's an improvement Um, yes max. Yes, uh spearheads, uh bobcat max Um, this is number 43 in the series. Wow, that's upside down. There we go. This is number 43 in the series Uh, that has the symbols on this side that represent his specialties and that is very low contrast um Let's see what is I'm not sure I can even I caramba um Okay Chaos pure chaos um See, uh, this one is like it's like an an atom I and this one is is that a bomb or is that a mace on a chain? Um, and this one is Oh, that's that's a brain with a lightning bolt through it. That means he was struck by lightning. That's why he's bald um, and this one is A a hammer an anvil um So so that's that his hobby is shooing horses So, uh, so that's what those symbols mean, but they're really hard to see They're really hard to see so like on these others I grab it um Like and on this so you can see that really easily and on this is like Super dark Okay, so This uh, this also is using the the new plastic uh, no plastic box So no plastic window pane, but we've got an outer box and an inner box and I believe if I pull this I should be able to pull the inner box out so and I will also point out that the there's the Printing on the back matches up. So when you pull it out, it's like that um, and then That is cobra dna The double helix appropriate for mind bender And um, and I should be able to swing this open in order to Show the figure I think And I have not looked at this yet. I haven't seen it.  So let's take a look at Mind bender and oh, I am wrong. This has plastic This is not the plastic free packaging How about that? so There's the display, um, and there's a there are a whole lot of accessories with this guy this was this was an exclusive and Uh Therefore more expensive. Hey, it's peg warmers. Hey, nice to see you peg warmers Hello, kevin. Uh, thank you very much for being here um Yes, I'm decoding the classified symbols um So let me see if I can even get this guy out. This is interesting Um, let's see. I I mistakenly did not get a knife To cut the tape. So let me see if I can Do this Okay, I got it. I got it A little unconventional, but I got it Okay, all right. So let's see. Let's see if we can pull. Oh, thank you, Dave as some Thank you for the super chat as someone that works on the video game In the video game industry the gijo game was Not bad for a game develop in less than a year harsh deadline for the developers. Yeah, I I understand that I I think I can Uh, I can understand that And like I said, uh I'm not the best judge of a video game. I'm not really Much of a gamer But it didn't it didn't hold my attention very long um I do like the idea. I like the idea of using a video game to To promote the brand I I like that idea um, but it's gotta be like Since you're not going to have a lot of budget for you know advertising It's got to get word of mouth, right? It's got to get it's got to Create some buzz. It's got to get people talking about it So it's got to be kind of exceptional. It can't just be like a little, you know, quicky Short Schedule low budget game. It's got to be something that gets people talking. Yes. The cat is here There he is Yeah, he's looking over my shoulder. He's actually he's actively looking for something to destroy. Look at that Um, so, okay, let's let's pull Mindbender out There he is I was totally wrong about this being the plastic free packaging future packaging will be plastic free. We saw that with With sergeant slaughter So let's uh, let's pop out the figure itself That's Really tight in there Trying to not do this in front of the microphone Yes, look at look at him. He's like he's like really staring intently at the plastic things Ah Ratface as anybody check out sarana review yet looking for subscribers. Oh check out ratface's review of sarana I don't have the sarana figure. So, uh, that's a really great way to take a look at it. So check out ratface's video Thank you for mentioning that It is this is really in there quite stiffly That's what she said good grief Okay Okay, whoo. Oh, uh, thank you the killer weasler Uh, the cat is waiting for you to shoot dr. Mindbender. Oh, yeah, man. I need to I need a missile. I'll I'll get a missile launcher before we end That's how we we will end the show today With a missile shot at at dr. M Uh, so here is the figure itself. There there's baldy There's cue ball Um, ah, no, no, no, don't don't fall Um There's the guy and we might as well stack him up next to uh To the vintage. Oh, uh, thank you dave for the super chat. Um snake eyes did show up on Uh, Fortnite that is correct. Uh, and the joe showed up in world of tanks. I think collaborations like that Help the brand a lot. Yeah, that's a very good point. That is a very good point And yeah, that's kind of what I mean like you got to get some get people talking you got to get people talking about it Yeah, no third nipple in fact See, all right. This this is a travesty. Look look we got we've got no nipples That's that's not right That's not right. All right. Look However good the rest of the figure is I mean that that just ruins it to me. I'm gonna write a letter to hasbro Um, we need in in this day and age In this day and age what we're in the 21st century now we need to have the courage To give male action figures nipples. Look Quick kick nipple From that was from 1985 you can give a male figure Nipples in 1985. But here it is 2022 and we can't do that. I'm I am offended I am offended. Uh, but anyway, here's Here's the guy and like this is A very faithful representation of the vintage figure. I mean the colors the chains on the chest the uh cod piece The the design on the armbands are basically the same. This is This is very much an upscaled version one figure The major difference that I see is There is no cobra emblem on the cape The cape is an interesting Fabric has kind of got a sheen to it on the on the back side And it's more matte up here around the shoulders. So, um So that's the basic figure and we have We have a crowd of a lot of Accessories to get through Yeah, no no major updates to this this is they very much took the the vintage design and upscaled it You know, there's his monocle Because that's something normal people wear And there's there's his mustache his porn stash Um So it's stand there for a second mind bender while I get your stuff out. He's not going to stand there Hold on. Let me see. Okay. Ah, no That that didn't work Stand stand on your feet Okay, um If if I do this for too long does it what do you think that your screen is locked up? Does it look like the wi-fi went out? Okay, so let's take out the accessories and there there are more Because there are accessories in these in these two wing pieces too. So we've got to take those out as well so How shall we do that we've got okay, so let me go ahead and take these out because I think I can get to these relatively easily I say that and i'm probably completely wrong I am I am completely wrong. This is not going to be easy at all. Okay, so all right, hold on I'll get back around to that. I'll get I'll get back around to that Um, we have in here. We have some accessories we have this which is reminiscent of the The cattle prod thing that the vintage figure came with and it's two pieces. We have The prod piece and we have the hose so There is that and so this hose looks like both ends are the same So that will peg into there Nifty There there are lots of really tiny pieces here. So the cat is just salivating. It's like oh as soon as he's done I'm gonna eat him Um, there is whatever this is Uh, okay. Oh, no, no, I know what this is. Okay. So this is this has got to be the other end Like the the generator Um, yeah, that fits in right there. So that plugs in the other end of the hose and that is a modern update of of this piece That the vintage figure came with and now we have some pieces that I think oh my goodness. I'm not taking those out Okay. Um, all right.  I'm not even going to attempt to take them out of the plastic All right, so let me show you what I do have I have oh, that's that's cool. Okay. That's kind of cool um, so We've got some zombie parts. Okay, so we have a zombie hand No doubt from one of mindbenders evil experiments Uh, and we have um We have a brain. I believe this is the brain of Hans delbrook Hans delbrook. Anybody get that anybody get that now this don't know. I'm sorry the brain of Hans delbrook that that one It got ruined it got destroyed. This this is the brain of abby normal This is abby normals brain. Uh, hey kujo. Nice to see you kujo. It's always nice to see kujo um, and We have a skull with Uh, a blindfold on I don't know why he has a blindfold on he can't see anything anyway. He's a skull but um the the The skull opens and I believe you can yes, you can put the brain in the skull and uh, so now So now now you have now you have zombie skull with a brain in it uh Yeah, there we go I ain't got nobody And nobody cares for me ha cha cha ha cha cha Uh, so that's that. Okay. So here's what I'm not taking out. Okay Um, here's what I'm not taking out. Um this let me see if you can see this There are these four tiny little canisters. Um that look like Many it's your little nitrous oxide canisters really those are microscopic and if I dare take those out They will instantly be lost those will disintegrate into thin air. I'm not even gonna attempt it I'm not even gonna do it.  I've got to Gotta cut through a little bit more tape Uh, how are we doing on time? We still got 20 minutes. We're doing fine We're doing fine Uh, okay. All right. Okay, so I'm I've got to slide the these um These wing pieces out Otherwise, I cannot get the accessories out. So this is one And we have here here's what I was trying to get to this is um a pistol And this is an upscaled oops come on um an upscaled updated version of the Version one dr. Meinbender pistol as you can see it is Uh, the same pistol design and since the original vintage accessory was kind of oversized for the figure The upscaled accessory is almost the same size. Look at that It's only slightly bigger Than the 1986 accessory. So let's give Meinbender his pistol Let me give him a oh, thank you. James Thompson hoodie, uh mid to inset uh In september, um, I sent you a copy of my first ever gi joe vehicle. Did you ever get it? Um, I I believe that I did james. Um, I have been checking Um, my p.o. Box. I have warned everybody that I it's been much harder to um To check the p.o. Box. So I I have cautioned people about sending stuff right now Uh, but if you sent it at a time, I'm pretty sure I did it got it And I'm pretty sure I would have opened it on this show and thank you james And I will say uh just in general. Thank you james for your support. James. You've been very supportive It's been very much appreciated So so thank you. Thank you for all you've done Uh, it has really meant a lot to me that I really mean that Uh, so we have these canisters. So we we got these canisters. Do they open? Wow Yes, and it goes flying. This is what I'm afraid of where to go. Hold on. I'm gonna Okay, so we got these canisters we got these uh We got these canisters and it looks like kind of like it would fit Does this fit the hand the zombie hand? It does It does. Oh, yeah, wait it pegs in check this out pegs in And then you can put this on it's like it's it's like the terminator hand, you know, except, you know, not not a terminator I apologize james. I'll I'll double check uh since you brought it up But I still thank you very much, but I will double check for you, sir. Thank you for uh for letting me know and I'll I'll make sure that I did So that fits the zombie hand Uh, and in this I wonder if the brain fits in here Let me see if the brain fits. I'll bet it does so I'm taking the brain out And I peg the brain right here. Oh, yeah, that's gonna work. That's totally gonna work That's that's how yeah Check that out. Now we have a brain under glass Dig it. Um Uh, should I tell you what it was? Yeah, that's a good point james. I'll thank you for the super chat. Um, uh I will leave it up to you, but if you don't want to spoil it just to make sure that you know, I I didn't Uh already open it. I'll leave that up to you but, um Your choice your choice. Um either way Either way, thank you. You've you've been a really really supportive guy and I very much appreciate it Um, so there there is a brain under glass. There is the zombie hand And that brings us to the final segment Okay Okay, so the final segment I'd really love to get this out without taking the But I just can't I just can't Oh, no. No. Hey stop it. Hold on the cat the cat has something Stop it. It's not for you Okay Where was I? Okay. Yeah, I was doing this. I was doing this Um, um Hello, jeffrey ball.

Uh, happy to see you here Okay, so we'll pull this out There we go All right Put that there Uh, let's see and What we have here we have this There we go.  That's nice. That's nice And the final piece is Uh Is whatever the heck this is Uh, what do you suppose that is? You know one thing that um That these classified figures don't do is they don't give you any instructions no diagrams They just leave it to you to figure it all out yourself because you're smart, right? Well, you may be but I sometimes have a hard time figuring this stuff out. Um, it's it's like a pistol But it's got like A silver piece. I wonder if it's like an injection device to inject, you know chemicals into into, uh An experiment or something like that Well, yeah, we'll just say that we'll just pretend that's what it is and pretend that we know what we're talking about um Um A nipple accessory pack. That's what we need So, yeah, let's hey, there are lots of great, uh aftermarket Um accessories for these figures. Let's get let's get the uh the aftermarket Um, uh nipples going syringe gun. Yeah, that's that's the word I was looking for. Thank you.  First of all, it's a nice figure. It's a really good figure. I mean, there's Um, it's a very faithful representation of dr. Meinbender. Look, he's got the the knee pads and everything um It's it's not bad. Um, I was just curious. So there there's the back under the cape You know, what's missing from that is the the vintage figure had Uh, I don't know if you can see it. It had, uh a cobra emblem there on the back Oh, thank you comic tropes of the soup chat. I hope your day is improving It is improving now that I've had a chance to talk to you find people Doing the live show always lifts my mood because this is just so much So much better than often most of my day. So it's really been nice to talk to all of you James, thank you. Uh, I will tell you just in case I need to track another one down It was a 100 complete bomb disposal vehicle. Yes Yes, I got it. Yes, I got it. I did open it. I did open it on one of them I'm sorry that you were not there for the opening but Uh, thank you for that Um, the bomb disposal unit is a cool, um, small. It's a small set But it's a cool set. It's like one of those world building sets that they started releasing around 84 a five And uh, and I I love the bomb disposal unit. Um The bomb disposal vehicle it's it's a really cool and but and thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you Oh, hey, hello photo viper. Nice to see you didn't see you sneak in here. Uh, nice to see you, sir Uh, and thank you albert glass. Thank you. Uh, so yeah, I mean, it's a it's a well sculpted figure It's you know, very sharp details Uh, the colors are exactly what you would expect from dr. Meinbender Yeah, dr. Meinbender is a pretty weird character anyway. Yeah. Yeah, he is. Yeah, so I mean Um If you update the the look of the figure, do you make him even more crazy looking? Well, that's kind of what they did in 1993 because they made him purple and yellow remember that he was like Well, I mean, you've seen Meinbender version two plenty of times on this show, uh, but he's uh, he's uh I'll rather not so But I mean, he looks crazy anyway. He looks Yeah, just wild Ron this this came from the imagination of ron rudat. So, uh, so thanks ron Um, but but you know, also thanks to you know, whoever In hasbro approved of this design and said yes, that's the one we want to Uh, manufacture for kids Um, so so there's that um, and uh, we have By my clock nine minutes yet. Hey action fuzz. Hey, how do you do? Nice to see you action fuzz I will remind everybody that action fuzz does action figures made of Pipe cleaner. It's a really cool craft project And he's been at the gi joe conventions So make sure you check out action fuzz and thanks for being here. Thank you for being here Being my first video vehicle is super nostalgic about it I thank you again james and thank you for for all you've done.

I'll I'll have to say hi, but um Uh, as I mentioned before I'm not making it to the post office nearly as often as I used to Because geographically it is much more distant now than it used to be Um, so we have eight eight more minutes. So you know what I've got to do right now You know what we're gonna do I've got to go get a missile launcher To to carry on our tradition tradition of firing a missile at dr. Mindbender, but I see I I was prepared I was prepared with the vintage figure, but I was not prepared With a 90s Spring-loaded missile launcher. So, uh, I'm gonna go get one right now And we will wrap this show we will wrap this show Uh by by striking Our friend dr. M With a missile Killer wezer when is your next room? That's a good question. I wish I knew and if I did know I would be happy to tell you I don't know is the answer. However Um, the it is going it is quite possible that I will have more time Uh to do fully edited reviews in the not too distant future um I've just kind of had to put that on hold for a little while, but I didn't want to lose contact I didn't want to lose connection um With with you folks Like I did last time. So I've been trying to keep the live stream going. Um I just I want to make sure to to keep in touch with everyone Peg warmers chris from comic tropes will be on peg warmers tomorrow night. That's awesome I will be there. I will be there. That's so cool. Uh, so yeah Two of my favorite people chris from comic tropes will be on the peg warmers show tomorrow. That is really cool So yes, uh, check peg warmers for that. Uh, make sure you check out comic tropes as well. Um now Without further adieu That is the wrong word But without further ado, uh, I'm going to go get oh, what's that? Uh, thank you. Jeffrey ball There is a peg hole on his belt for the canister. Thank you for pointing that out. Where is the peg hole? Oh, yeah, I also didn't point out that there is a holster for the pistol and A peg hole on his belt For the canister. I do not see it Um Oh, wait. No, I found it. I found it. I think Yeah, so I could yeah, okay, okay Okay, okay, okay. Okay, right right there right there. Hey dig it dig it Uh, and you can put this in this hand Uh, and Put his Finger inside the trigger. There we go. Look check it out. Check it out. Um, thank you james. Oh, thank you, uh rat face for the super chat, uh, and Uh, thank you james got a 100 bomb disposal disposal to review. Yes, and now since I have it complete I guess that means I got to review it, you know, uh, but the bomb disposal that's a Uh, that's a nice piece.

Meinbender version two The purple and yellow one Uh, and what we're going to do is we're going to shoot this dr. Meinbender With this dr. Meinbender's missile launcher He we're going to shoot him with his own missile launcher Like the very thought of it makes me feel kind of queasy There's something wrong with that but there's something wrong with me. So we're going to do it. So let's uh Let's load The missile launcher we we got to test it. We got to test it. Make sure it's working. Make sure it's working Oh, yeah It works. It works. Okay, so we've test fired it. We've test fired it Um, so here we go and I don't have Is hold on I got an idea I want to I want to elevate Dr. Meinbender into the frame here So that You can actually see See the shot Okay, so There we go There there's the man There's the mad scientist There's the the weirdo Uh, all right, so stand there stand there dr. M. We've got we I got to turn you this way Okay, how are we doing two minutes two minutes? This is perfect timing perfect timing Hey, hey Meinbender version two. Do you want to do it?  This is this is sick, you know, uh, I don't I don't know who does this This this is something perverse about this uh firing his own missile at him but uh Uh, but but we're doing we're doing it. So, um, everybody count down Actually, you don't need to count down. It's it's because lag and everything I'll count down. I will count down ready ready Counting down from three three two one fire We have success we have We have a dead Meinbender We've we've uh, thank you Low one bow two. Thank you for the countdown.

So, uh, thank you all good night everyone and uh And uh, and until next time Remember only Meinbender


Hello and welcome back to another episode of physics partner today we have a fascinating topic to dive into the Newton's rings before we plunge into the physics let's quickly grasp what exactly Newton's rings are when a convex lens is placed on a flat glass surface a series of concentric colored rings appear these intricate pattern of light and dark are known as Newton's rings but what caused these rings well it all comes down to the phenomena called interference light waves reflect off both surfaces of the lens and the glass they then interfere constructively or destructively generating the mesmerizing patterns we observe in the lab we replicated this phenomenon and uncovered some intriguing findings by experimenting with different materials such as various lenses and glass plates we notice that the distance between the surface affected the size and spacing of the rings the thinner the gear gap the larger the rings become moreover we observed that the color observed in the rings changed as we varied the thickness of the air gap this phenomenon known as spectral shifting occurs due to the change in path length between the reflected waves it's absolutely mind-boggling so what we can conclude from our experiments and observations well Newton rings along with their intricate patterns and spectral shifting have proved to be invaluable tools in the field of optics they helped us understand the interference phenomena better enabling us to design advanced optical devices additionally Newton's rings have significant applications in various areas such as lens quality assessment surface flatness measurements and even in the development of anti-reflective coating and that bring us to the end of our captivating journey into the world of Newton's rings we hope you found this exploration fascinating and that you could grasp a little deeper into the physics behind these mesmerizing patterns so I think it's enough for today so thank you very much for listening and watching I hope you enjoyed the video I hope this video is useful for you so take care of yourself and don't hesitate to write an email if you have any question query suggestion and even classes are required take care of yourself meanwhile see you in the next video goodbye

Nick Kairios and Stefano CityPass have kicked it off again in their sort of on-again off-again friendship and now they're at odds. They're not happy with each other, they're again taking digs at each other in the media, on social media, having things to say about each other's personalities on and off court. Let's go over and read what these guys have to say about each other this time. Let's have a look what CityPass had to say in a recent interview. He was the one who broke off our relationship. I didn't do anything. In 2022 Wimbledon, I was only trying to compete while he was playing the clown. It also depends on how he wakes up each day.  So there it is, Kairios and CityPass this week are not friends, which I mean every other week they sometimes play doubles together, they're sometimes friendly, they're sometimes having jokes, they're sometimes angry, they're sometimes bringing up Wimbledon again. These guys have been on and off friends for the entire time they've been, we've known them. I mean since 2019 when they sort of played in a very interesting matchup in Washington, ever since then it's sort of been this weird relationship of course Wimbledon being the one that's kind of I guess the most fierce of rivalries where it became a real beef and a real rivalry, but now there seem to be at odds again. So I can't wait to sit and play again because I love it when two players have this kind of relationship. It's so much fun to have this kind of rivalry because we need these things in tennis. Do you like these sort of rivalries? Do you like these off court beefs or you'd rather just be on the court?


Successive approximations. Successively approximating something. What is it that you're trying to approximate? Probably your target behavior. For folks that, if you're completely lost and you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you probably forgot the definition of shaping, which is the reinforcement of successive approximations of desired behavior. So successive approximations it's a hard thing to say. Successive approximations simply means that you're getting closer and closer and closer to your end goal, right? So if my goal is to, well I don't know, what should we try to do? Put on my clothes? Then the closer I get to putting on my clothes, like the first step might be just, you know, getting my clothes out of the drawer, right? You could read, congratulations Ryan, you got your clothes out of your drawer. My mom did that one. It was like seven, maybe six, maybe five. I don't know, I was an only child. I am an only child. She'd probably still get my clothes out for me if I let her. Anyway, so she reinforced me for getting the clothes out. Then the next thing would be she reinforced me for getting all my clothes out. Then the next thing is she would reinforce me for taking my old clothes off. Then she would take, reinforce me for putting all my clothes on and you get the idea. As we get closer and closer to the idea, to the goal behavior of dressing myself, you provide reinforcers for each step along the way. And there has to be a lot of trials and a lot of attempts at that. But that's the core piece of the shaping process. So successive approximations, shaping, life is good.


Item number SCP-376 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-376 is to remain in the secure agriculture facility at Scythe Park. It is to be linked to a single underground electric cable that is to be powered by a single generator, not attached to the main power grid. There is no need for any additional security measures to contain SCP-376 other than the existing security at the secure agriculture facility. Description SCP-376 appears to be an irregular traffic light with an excessive amount of components attached, resembling more of a tree than a standard traffic light. However, SCP-376 is not a man-made object but is in fact a naturally occurring organism. It is currently unknown how or why SCP-376 has managed to mimic the appearance of a traffic light. Testing has revealed that the exterior of SCP-376 is composed of organic material rather than steel, similar to wood found in regular trees. The bark that it produces hardens to form a protective coating around SCP-376 that takes the appearance of steel. However, while the bark does appear and feel like steel to the touch, it is not nearly as strong, being only able to withstand stresses similar to regular tree bark. The light that SCP-376 produces is a form of bioluminescence, which it is able to manipulate to glow in the three colors commonly associated with traffic lights. Red, green, and yellow. SCP-376 is somehow able to control which light activates and does so in a predictable sequence, though it is not known how or why. Extended observation of SCP-376 shows that it has an uncontrolled growth rate, necessitating constant care and trimming. Each individual traffic light begins as a bud, but will quickly mature into a full-sized traffic light within several minutes. The appearance of a new light on SCP-376 typically happens every 9 to 10 days. Removing one of the lights causes it to cease functioning, and the wound caused in SCP-376 will immediately be closed by growing extra bark. If left alone, the detached light will eventually biodegrade and rot like any other organism. Unlike other plants, SCP-376 does not use photosynthesis to sustain itself. Instead, its roots will dig through the pavement and ground towards the nearest power line. SCP-376's roots are capable of penetrating underground power lines and patching into them, effectively attaching itself to the local power grid. SCP-376 uses the electricity it obtains as the primary energy to create its food. In terms of reproduction, SCP-376 has a unique method of propagating itself. Rather than using regular spores or seeds, SCP-376 is able to transfer seedlings through the power grid it is connected to, meaning that a new instance of SCP-376 can be created anywhere the power lines reach. SCP-376 was found during rush hour in California on a busy intersection. The entire event was explained as an art exhibition, and SCP-376 was promptly relocated to its current location in the Secure Agriculture Facility. Experiment Log, 376A Once it was discovered that SCP-376 required electricity to survive, it was attached to Site-26's power grid. This mistake was quickly realized when on-site staff began reporting the appearance of additional traffic lights scattered around the facility. Once these lights were removed, SCP-376 was connected to a separate power grid that was laid under a specially constructed test area. After analyzing the results, it was discovered that SCP-376 is somehow able to discern which areas it can grow without arousing undue suspicion. All recorded test subjects were reported to grow in areas where traffic light placement would be logical. There is currently no explanation to how SCP-376 is able to control where it grows so effectively. Experiment Log, 376B After continued testing, it became known that SCP-376 is not restricted to just traffic lights. After several weeks of observation, it was noted that additional structures began appearing. So far, the forms instances of SCP-376 can take include but are not limited to fire hydrants, power lines, street lights, and street sides. Experiment Log, 376C After additional testing and observation, it was discovered that the SCP-376 currently contained is an abnormality even among its own kind. DNA comparison between itself and other subjects show that it is suffering from some kind of defect that causes it to grow uncontrollably, which could explain how it was discovered so quickly. Addendum 1 After cross-analyzing Department of Transportation records and total national power consumption, Foundation analysts have estimated that there may be as many as data expunged instances of SCP-376 in the continental United States alone. Containment teams are currently being mobilized to search for these instances. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-375, Temporal Credit Union, right now.
