Yeah, I mean, especially since the last couple 29 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: of episodes were co hosted by Seth and Concerned Records, 30 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: and so I even put out a call to listeners 31 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: on on Facebook's The Discussion module.

And uh, I don't know. 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: It might just have been too soon because the second 36 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: episode only came out really hours ago before recording this. 37 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. So yeah, if you have maybe 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: you should, if you have questions or or responses to 39 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: those episodes, maybe c c um Seth over at Rusty 40 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: Needle as well, because that way you can be sure 41 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: that he'll see them.

So if for some chance there's 44 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: something you need to tell me that that would be 45 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: the place you can go listen to that show. And 46 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: that's my email for that show. But but guys, we 47 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: did get at least one message about your episodes on 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: Records and back Masking. It's this message from Mike Rob. 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: Do you want to start off reading this one? Sure? 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: Mike Rides loved the first episode on Easter Eggs and 51 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: back masking. Weird Al has done some funny backmasking Easter 52 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: eggs over the years. Uh they include a link. Weird 53 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: Al Yankovic has included backwards messages in two of his songs. 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: One on the album in three D. A little over 55 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: halfway through the song Nature Trail to Hell, there is 56 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: a short non vocal musical score. If you listen very carefully, 57 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: you can hear Al say in a very evil voice, 58 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: Satan eats cheese. Whiz backwards there you go. Cheese products 59 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: being especially funny. ChIL cheese is always funny. Number two 60 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: on Bad Hair Day, near the end of I Remember Larry, 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: where our repeatedly sings yes, I remember, remember, remember. If 62 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: you listen closely, you can catch another backwards message that says, wow, 63 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: you must really have a lot of time on your hands. 64 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: And he also did the song Bob, which is entirely 65 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: composed of palindrome. I wonder palindrome in the text, or 66 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: like a full audio palindrome like the song is backwards 67 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: halfway through or both. M M yeah, I'm unfamiliar with 68 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: this particular track. However, I did just watch Weird, the 69 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: new fake biopic about rid Al Yankovic starring Daniel Ratcliffe. 70 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: Either of you two seen this? I have not seen this. 71 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: Now we've actually been We've got a friend who we 72 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: saw Weird Alan concert with when he was here in town, 73 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: and we've been waiting to watch it with her.

I really remember people having CDs of 88 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: Running with Sissors when I was a kid. That was 89 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: I think that was the one. I believe. Actually, the 90 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: first audio cassette I ever purchased was weird Al. It 91 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: was Allapalooza, the one with the Jurassic Park song on it. Oh, 92 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: I had that on cassette for sure. Yes. Nice. Okay, Well, 93 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: if you guys are ready to move on, I can 94 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: do this message from Jeremy about multiple subjects, including goats. 95 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of goat thoughts this week, Jeremy 96 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: says Robert and Joe. I have been a fan of 97 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: the show for years and a pastime between new episode releases, 98 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: I've been spending the last few months coming through the 99 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: Stuff to Blow your Mind back catalog, starting all the 100 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: way back in two thousand ten. I just finished listening 101 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: to an episode about the science of coincidences back from May, 102 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: and an amazing coincidence just occurred. First of all, this 103 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: was an episode from before Joe was even on the show, 104 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: but he had just happened to be featured on this 105 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: episode as a guest feeling in for Julie rob Yeah, 106 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: this was This was my first guest on on the show. 107 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: I remember having a lot of fun. But anyway, Jeremy 108 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: goes on. In this episode, you both mentioned a novel 109 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: by Edgar Allan Poe about a group of sailors who 110 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: were stranded at sea, eventually resorting to sacrificing and eating 111 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: a crew member named Richard Parker. You then went on 112 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 1: to explain that coincidentally, this same event happened in real 113 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: life forty six years later, when a crew of stranded 114 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 1: sailors actually resorted to eating a They're Dead crew member 115 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: who was also named Richard Parker. The reason I'm writing 116 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: in is that as soon as I got done listening 117 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: to this episode, I scrolled across a post on a 118 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: social media platform by Weird History that was talking all 119 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: about this story concerning the eating of Richard Parker. What 120 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: a coincidence. Additionally, and perhaps only loosely related, the episode 121 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: following this one was all about spider Silk, where you 122 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking about genetically modified goats 123 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: that were created in hopes producing more silk through their milk. 124 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: This is yet another coincidence, as you have just recently 125 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: released four different episodes talking all about goats over the 126 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: past few weeks. Sorry for the long message, just wanted 127 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: to share. Keep up the awesome work, Jeremy. Uh yeah, 128 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: I would say proof of the Supernatural confirmed. Well, no, 129 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: this is actually this is all a coordinated effort across 130 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: multiple podcasts and multiple errors of podcasts to to produce 131 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: an image. So so keep keep following the threads. Here 132 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: go goat synchronicity. Al Right, here's another one. This one 133 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: is a vault up from as to do the vault 134 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: episode on Tumbleweeds. This would have been an episode that 135 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: came out roughly a year ago, originally from Miguel. Miguel 136 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 1: writes in and says hello, Robert and Joe, I'm writing 137 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: in as a follow up to an email I sent 138 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: several months ago about how this podcast inspires so much 139 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: of my D and D camp pains, and how many 140 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: of the monsters you cover are statted out and ready 141 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: to play in fifth edition Dungeons and Dragons through books 142 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: by a third party publisher, Cobalt Press. They recently held 143 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: a contest for a new book they were working on, 144 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: and we're taking submissions for monsters. Well. I designed a 145 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: creature inspired by your episodes on Tumbleweeds and submitted it 146 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: and ended up actually winning. Tome of Beasts three released 147 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: about a week ago, and I was very excited to 148 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: show you to the final product product in all of 149 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: its glory see image attached, and thank you guys again 150 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: for the many, many hours of entertaining, thought provoking and 151 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: inspiring content. Oh and to make clear from the image, 152 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: the creature is called the Wind, which which was again 153 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: one of the nicknames for Tumbleweeds, and it appears to 154 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: be a tumble a giant sentient tumbleweed monster that will 155 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: hunt you down in the desolate wastes. Yeah, challenge rating 156 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: three anyway, Miguel continues here, I had a lot of 157 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: fun designing this creature and coming up with interest and 158 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: game mechanics for it, like its ability to regenerate after 159 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: being defeated, only to come back and arrass the party 160 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,359 Speaker 1: over and over again until its body is finally destroyed, 161 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: or its flammability, which will ensure the wind which is 162 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: defeated for good, but at the risk of taking some 163 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: extra fire damage from it. I think it would be 164 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: really cool to create a small bestie area of creatures 165 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: inspired by your podcast, and was wondering if you had 166 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: any thoughts on what episodes you would like to see 167 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: brought to life for D and D. I would love 168 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: to try to create it and maybe eventually release it 169 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: somewhere for free. The working title is stuff to Blow 170 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: your players, but I think that needs a bit of 171 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: work shopping anyway. Wishing you both the best and a 172 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: happy holiday season. Michael, Well, Miguel, this is just magical. 173 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: This fills my heart with joy, and I love that 174 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: this creature is determined as chaotic evil, because of course 175 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: it would be. It would be unpredictable, It would just 176 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: kind of thrash about as the wind sends it, and 177 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: like they mentioned, fire can defeat it, but oh at 178 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: what cost? Gonna be spreading that fire? Perhaps you know, 179 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: very smart. I like it. Yeah, yeah. It reminds me 180 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: of those stories of people trying to burn burn tumbleweeds 181 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: to get rid of them, but then them rolling away, 182 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: and not only rolling away, but like jumping over ditches 183 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: to get um. The other thing I think about a 184 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: tumbleweed that you could really capture as a dangerous creature 185 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: mechanic is their stickiness, right, so that you you know, 186 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: if you try to whack one in order to to 187 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: cause damage to it. Technically, I think what should happen 188 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: is when you like pull your sword or weapon back, 189 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: it will have pieces of tumbleweeds stuck all over it, 190 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: which will lessen the effectiveness of the weapon going forward, 191 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: at least for a time, maybe for like two turns 192 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: while all the little like bristles fall off or something. Yeah, 193 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: that's that's fun. Yeah yeah. As for other creatures we've 194 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: discussed that should be started out for D n D, 195 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. We mentioned a lot of cool creatures, 196 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: many of which evidently have been uh featured in Dungeons 197 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: and Dragons, either a fish really or through a third 198 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: party publications like those referenced here. I'm not sure if 199 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: like zombies to go to church has been properly explored. 200 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: Like that's a good one from last year. The pious 201 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: stead Yeah, yeah, like maybe they're mostly peaceful until you 202 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: disturb their worship service and then they burn you on 203 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: the altar. Yeah, a lot of religion checks involved to 204 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: get that right. What about Rob you might know this 205 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: is there's something like the leshy already in D and D, 206 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: kind of a spirit of the forest that calls out, 207 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: lures you off the path, that sort of thing. I 208 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: feel like there probably is, um I'm just blanking on 209 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: it at the moment. I haven't done as much uh 210 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: d N D D m NG inside of a woodland setting, 211 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: so I'm just not as familiar with those creatures. But 212 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's something one more for you guys. Uh. 213 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: This was quite a while ago. It was a kind 214 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: of fungus that um it rolled up into these big 215 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: tubes and got really really tall. Remember you guys are 216 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: for this. Yes, Uh. This was something about really tall 217 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: fungus from a prehistoric era, like exactly Devonian period or something. 218 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,359 Speaker 1: I don't remember all the details, but I remember picturing 219 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: these giant trees of like petrified fung gui and and 220 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: being really fascinated by that, and also just think the 221 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: concept of giant fun guy like like there were in 222 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: that episode a long time ago. We were also discussing 223 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: the world's largest mushroom, which I believe like existed beneath 224 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: the soil in Oregon. It was like larger than an 225 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: entire town or something. I'd have to look at the details, 226 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: but fascinating fungus stuff could definitely be in the D 227 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: D and D for stuff to blow your mind. I 228 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: think I was d m NG a game set in 229 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: the under dark at that point, and I think I 230 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: did do something. I did do something with it with 231 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: that in it. Nothing that like needed statting out, but 232 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: I probably got carried away describing fungal trees to the 233 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: players and they're you know, that's what it's It's ultimately, 234 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: that's what it's like. If you're thinking, if you may think, oh, 235 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: I bet it would be exciting if if Robert Lamb 236 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: was was my dungeon master, because he follows all these 237 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: weird tangents. Now, it just it just means there would 238 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: be weird tangents in that game itself where you're wondering, 239 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: why is he going on and on about what these 240 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: trees look like. Now the other I remember, now, the 241 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: other cool thing about these trees was that the so 242 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: called trees, like the giant tall pieces of fungus was 243 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they existed before there were forests plant 244 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: forests like really plant trees. But it's been a while, 245 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: so I could be wrong about that, but I think 246 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: that's right. But good luck with this D and D book. 247 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: And uh yeah, yeah, there there's a lot of content 248 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: that could become something, perhaps something from Weird House Cinema 249 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: as well. There could definitely be some Weird Cinema elements 250 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: that are are prominently featured that that could make an 251 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: appearance as well. Oh god, well, yeah, you're just standing 252 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: out tobo alone that I can't even imagine what a 253 00:13:53,440 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: task that would be. Okay, This next message comes from Will, 254 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: subject line goat Eyes generative technologies associating audio with places 255 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: a whole grab bag. Here, Will says high Team on 256 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: goat eyes too. Observations One. I got an illuminated bathroom 257 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: mirror that had an LED strip all the way around 258 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: the outside. This had the unsettling effect of reflecting the 259 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: rectangular strip of light into the observer's eyes, giving one's 260 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: reflection rectangular goat pupils, which was somewhat unsettling in the morning. 261 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: This was not mentioned in the features of the mirror 262 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: of the Mirror, although it did have built in bluetooth speaker. 263 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: The singing mirror that does sound like a D and 264 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: D artifact. Two. You recently mentioned generative neural networks for 265 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: the purpose of writing fiction. Oh yeah, this is what 266 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: we keep coming back to U. Funny things created by 267 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: the story machines generator. I don't know if we ever 268 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: shared it on the on the podcast itself, but one 269 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: of the ones I can't stop thinking about that we 270 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: were just chatting back and forth about one day was 271 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: a story I created, I think based on the title 272 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: Garfield Beyond Thunderdome, and it had Garfield and then another 273 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: warrior trading some some trash talk before they were about 274 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: to fight in the Thunderdome, and the line it came 275 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: up with was the opponent says, so you're the famous cat, 276 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: And then it said and Garfield replied, I'm not the cat. Anyway, 277 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: will goes on. Generative technologies are fascinating and we'll continue 278 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: to develop quickly. One of the first prompts I gave 279 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: to Dolly Mini. This is a one that you've probably 280 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: seen on on the Internet by this point. But it's 281 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: one that generates images based on text input and it's 282 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: pretty good. But the one that will sites it was 283 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: the text input goats I on a cabbage result attached 284 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: to guys, we can scroll down and take a look 285 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: at this right now. It's uh, it's rather unpleasant. But 286 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: yeah that the the eyeball is the center of the cabbage, 287 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: and like the the outer leaves are the lids. I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, 288 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty creepy. I don't know, I've been I've 289 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: been playing around with mid Journey recently, and I don't know, 290 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm just really astounded by how far things have come, 291 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: even beyond what we're looking at here. So I'm I 292 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: almost don't want to put goat eye cabbage is in 293 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: there for fear of what what I'll see. I don't 294 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: even want to put but Garfield beyond Thunderdome in their 295 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: fear of how spot on and maybe okay, next thing 296 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: Will says on associating audio maybe music with places. I 297 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: think you recently mentioned the idea that certain audio is 298 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: strongly associated with certain activities. Or places for you, or 299 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: maybe it was on another podcast. Guys, do we have 300 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: a verdict on this? Was this something you talked about 301 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: while I was out? I think so we talked about 302 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: a lot of music stuff while you were gone. I 303 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm positively touched on something along those lines. Will says, 304 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: I have this in the extreme. Although it's not every 305 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: episode of every podcast. Usually it's particularly memorable ones. Your 306 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: weird House episode on the film Frogs I heard while 307 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: feverishly attempting to clean a rented apartment before leaving Norway. 308 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: Moving house is always stressful, and moving country is perhaps 309 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: even more so. So thank you for keeping me company. 310 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: The Stuff You Should Know episode about liquefaction I heard 311 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. Likewise, the Magic Mushrooms episode I heard at 312 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: Davao Airport Devout Airport in the Philippines. The nine Volte 313 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: Nirvana episode of Radio Lab I heard on my way 314 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: to the gym in the UK. The long distance episode 315 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: of Reply All was heard while driving down Regent Street 316 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: in Nottingham, etcetera, etcetera. It's possible that either strong episodes 317 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: encode the place that I heard them in, or novel 318 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: situations allow me to associate a particular podcast with that situation. 319 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: If I listen on pocket casts at three X speed 320 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: with the delete blank space feature turned on, okay, well, um, 321 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: I can get through a twenty two hours of podcasts 322 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: in one day, so obviously I won't remember where I 323 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: was with all of them, especially as a lot of 324 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: the time I'll be in a familiar place. This one, 325 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: this message took a turn. Um Will says not all 326 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: podcasts can be listened to at three X, but yours 327 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: can because of your clear addiction and good recording quality. 328 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: Oh thank you. Will. One must slow down to two 329 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: X for unfamiliar accents, languages, or lower quality recordings. I've 330 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: gone on a bit, sorry, but I thought you might 331 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: be interested to know that you're weird. House Cinema Episodes 332 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: are one of my very favorite podcasts out of the 333 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: hundred plus to which I subscribe. The only film you've 334 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: covered that I've seen is Plan nine from Outer Space. 335 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: I'm almost entirely an audio consumer, so your descriptions of 336 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: the films are more than enough for me. Regrettably, I 337 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: have difficulty discerning one actor from another, and I'm amazed 338 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: at your ability to rate different actors, performances and the 339 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: things they've been in. Most people look pretty much the 340 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: same to me, except for the really big stars. There 341 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: is one sception to my apparent inability to recognize good performances. 342 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: I once saw an episode of Criminal Minds where the 343 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: bad guys acting was so incredible that I had to 344 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: look look up who it was in the credits. Turned 345 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: out to be Tim Curry. He stole the show. His 346 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: talent eclipsed everyone on the screen to the extent that 347 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: it seemed like everyone else were a local amateur dramatics 348 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: troope kind regards Will well, Will, that was a journey, 349 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: But yes, we we must always remember to praise Tim Curry. 350 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: And will you get a gold medal for listening to podcasts? 351 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: I've never heard of anyone consuming three x delete blank 352 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: space and getting through twenty two hours of podcasts and 353 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: one day. That's that's that's really a herculean feats. Congratulations. Yeah, 354 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: I hope you're doing this just for enjoyment like that. 355 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: They don't, Yeah, they don't literally give you a medal 356 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: for the number of podcasts you listen to. I'm gonna 357 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: say I don't think he's doing enough. I think he could. 358 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: He could be listening to two podcasts at once. I 359 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: think that's the next step. That's right, Yes, stereo one 360 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: in each year. There you go. Well, you know, coming 361 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: back to Weird House.

You mentioned Paul Freeze. 368 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: May I add how wonderful he was, so many great voices, 369 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: dubbing Bogart in his last film, The Harder They Fall. 370 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: I remember seeing this film before hearing the story of 371 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: how Freeze had to dub Bogy's lines because Bogie was 372 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: so sick I couldn't hear hear the difference. Recommend welcome 373 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: Foolish Immortals, The Life and Times of Paul Freeze.

Off the title, I have to really 376 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: underline that I also love Paul Freeze. Um folks probably 377 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: know who he is, even if they don't know him 378 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: by name. If you look up his IMDb page. He's 379 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: like the Fred Welker of like the fifties, sixties, and seventies. 380 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: He was the guy that was in literally everything. Um personally, 381 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: I love Jay Ward stuff. He's the guy that created 382 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: Rocky and Bullwinkle and Um, George at the Jungle and 383 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: Dudley Do Right and all that kind of stuff, And 384 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: Paul Freeze was all throughout those. Most famously, he was 385 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: the voice of Boris baden Off. That was Paul Freeze. Um. 386 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: He was also Inspector Fenwick on Dudley Do Right. He 387 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: was the narrator in Hoppity Hooper And that's just Jay 388 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: Ward stuff. If you if you look in all of 389 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: his other things Disney rankin bass, everywhere, Paul Freeze is. Yeah. 390 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: He was the guy. He was the guy that you 391 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: called in if you needed just the man of a 392 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: million voices. That was him back in the day. Do 393 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: you reckon nice? The phrase welcome foolish mortals? Is that 394 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: from something in particular? Um, you know what that this 395 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm jumping to a conclusion here. I may be wrong. 396 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: He may have been one of the primary voices inside 397 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: Disney's The Haunted Mansion, and that being the case, that 398 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: might be one of the phrases that he used. I'm 399 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: going just off top of my head right there. That 400 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: may not be true. He also did the ending voice 401 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: over in Beneath the Planet of the Apes, So another 402 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: Beneath the Planet of the Apes connection there beneath is 403 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: that the one? Is that the second one, the one 404 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: where they worship the atomic bomb and then uh, Charlton 405 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: Heston wrestles somebody and then they blow it all up. 406 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: That's the one, and I've just looked it up. It 407 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: is correct. He was the original ghost host for the 408 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: Haunted Mansion, so that title is referencing him being the 409 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: narrator while you walk through the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Okay, 410 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: so he's like the the elevator operator in the David S. 411 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: Pumpkins sketch in some ways. Yeah, yeah, speaking of of 412 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: of of Haunted Mansion. Uh, there's a there's a wonderful 413 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: series you can get on Disney Plus called Behind the Attraction, 414 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: and each one looks at a different like classic Disney 415 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: ride in the history behind It. Have been slowly making 416 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: my way through it and it's it's really fascinating. I 417 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: don't remember if they mentioned Paul Freeze or not, but 418 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: there's a whole episode on the Haunted Mansion that gets 419 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: into the you know, where the idea came from, how 420 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: it was developed, the imagineers involved, and the engineering constraints 421 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,959 Speaker 1: and so forth.
