1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: My Heart Radio. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Listener mail, This is Robert Lamb and this is Joe McCormick,

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: and I think maybe we should jump right in with

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: a response to an older episode of ours about the

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Bone Palace Vault episode or are you ready, Rob? I'm ready? Okay,

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: This comes to us from Megan. Megan says, Hey, Joe

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: and Robert had a couple of natural history notes to

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: add to your Bone Palace episodes. I remember, I think

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: there was a string of things we talked about in

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: those episodes about creatures other than humans making dwellings out

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: of the remains of other animals. Megan writes, Another cool

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: creature that make camouflage itself with the body parts of

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: other invertebrates is the green lacewing larva. You can see

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: them trundling about on tree trunks under tiny lichen festooned huts.

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: They voraciously consume other insects, and they may incorporate the

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: body parts of their prey, such as a fids, within

18
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: their camouflage. This is especially useful as a disguise to

19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: fool ants which tend and defend sap sucking afids for

20
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: their honeydew. Also carrier snails from the family's xenophority, meaning

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: foreigner carrying, attach bits of coral rocks, sponges, and other

22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: smaller shells into the delicate white whirls of their own

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: growing shells. They can be very elegant, with the long

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: spires of other shells protruding at regular intervals like a sunburst,

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: or look like crazy marine garbage heaps, depending on the

26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: species and it's preferred masonry. The added bits provide some

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: camouflage and protection from predators, stability on the seafloor, and

28
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: also save them on the energy and material cost of

29
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: having to grow their entire shells. Thanks guys, you supply

30
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: me with moments in critical thinking in time when I'm

31
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: otherwise short on it, driving, kid tending, etcetera. Best Megan, excellent, Well,

32
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: these are both great specimens. Thanks for sharing these with us, Megan.

33
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: At least one of these seems kind of familiar, So

34
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if we maybe researched it but didn't mention

35
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: it in the episode or mentioned it. It's possible. Sometimes

36
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: stuff falls through the cracks like that. Yeah, uh now,

37
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: We've got a number of responses to our pair of

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: episodes about furry fish, and these were great fun. Yeah.

39
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: The first one comes to us from Kelly. She says, Hi, both.

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: I was delighted to hear you mentioned in your second

41
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: episode on furry fish the gloriously fluffy hoax fish at

42
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: the National Museum of Scotland. As a child, I remember

43
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: for the first time seeing this fish on show. Since then,

44
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I've always made a point of trying to find it

45
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: whenever I go in. It is Scotland's own abominable snow trout.

46
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Your discussion of fish people and otters uh got to

47
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: me thinking about the Celtic Norse myths of the silky

48
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: a mer person that takes on the form of a seal,

49
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: which was a widespread folk tale in the North and

50
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: in the Islands. The story I remember reading when was

51
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: when I was very young was that of the Silky Wife.

52
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: I think there are plenty of variations on the theme,

53
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: but the basic premise is that a fisherman falls in

54
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: love with a silky woman in human form, but he

55
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: steals her silky slash seal skin, preventing her from taking

56
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: seal form, and locks the skin in a kiss or chest,

57
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: keeping her imprisoned on the land. Eventually she manages to

58
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: take back the skin, escapes to the sea, transforms back

59
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: into a seal and escapes. A more recent sculptural interpretation

60
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: at the Helix Park in Falkirk, called the Selkies presents

61
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: them in the form of the giant rearing heads of

62
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: Shire horses. I think this is part of a reference

63
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: to the foam tipped breaking waves of the sea being

64
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: referred to as white horses, as well as a link

65
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: to the horses which would have pulled barges along the

66
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: canals along which the park was built. They are quite

67
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: spectacular and worth a quick image search if you have

68
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: a few minutes. Thanks for the many hours of fun

69
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: and a lightning discussion. I come away from every episode

70
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: with some new interesting facts or ideas to think about.

71
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: All the best, Kelly. Now, I tried to google the

72
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Selkies Helix Park and the only thing I think I

73
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: came across what I think you're talking about. But this

74
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: says they're called the Kelpies instead of the Selkies, which

75
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: I know are both things, so you may have just

76
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: had a typo in your email there. Either way, the

77
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: selkies are certainly fascinating. Uh selkies and and kelpies. I've

78
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: been reading about them for for ages, you know, because

79
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: they pop up in dungeons and dragons and mythology textbooks,

80
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: uh monster uh compendiums of all sorts. I I also

81
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: have to point out there's a wonderful two thousand fourteen

82
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: Irish animated film called Song of the Sea which deals

83
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: with this territory. Highly recommend that a beautiful film. M

84
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: all right. This next message about the furry fish comes

85
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: from Alex. Alex says, Hello, I love your show, but

86
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: I've never had a good reason to send you mail

87
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: until today. In your The Fish had for episode, you

88
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: mentioned the singing bass fish Billy bass, the singing bass fish.

89
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: I had one of these growing up, so I started

90
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: looking for it in my basement, hoping I still had it.

91
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: I didn't, but I experienced a bit of serendipity while

92
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: scrolling TikTok. After I gave up the hunt, I stumbled

93
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: across an artist by the name of Kevin Heckert. They

94
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: are an interactive artist that has created a billy bass

95
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: that somehow interacts with Amazon Alexa. It is amazing. It

96
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: sings any song you ask it to. Please look it up.

97
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: It will make your day watching billy singing all of

98
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: the hits. That's it. Thanks for making such an entertaining podcast.

99
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: Uh ps, I really missed the constant flow of Invention.

100
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: That's how I found you guys. Thanks for reading, Alex.

101
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Thank you Alex. Yeah, thanks. I hope we keep I

102
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: don't know, we will still continue doing Invention episodes from

103
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: time to time. Sorry, we can't do them every week now.

104
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: I mean maybe at some point we'll just lose it

105
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: and start doing Invention episodes like back to back for

106
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: at least for a little bit. You never know. Yeah,

107
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: but anyway, so I looked this up. I'm not familiar

108
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: with this uh this person, but I looked up the

109
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: TikTok you were talking about, and yeah, it looks like

110
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: someone has uh sort of hacked a billy bass to

111
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: to be the interface for Amazon Alexa. So at least

112
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: if what is being alleged by this video is correct

113
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: and there's no trickery involved, you can say to the

114
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: big mouth billy bass, hey, Alexa, play whatever, and you know, uh,

115
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: play four Horsemen by Metallica, and then the bed the

116
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: bass will turn and say okay and it will sing

117
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: along with the song, It'll do the mouth. All right.

118
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Here's another one. This one comes to us from Calvin

119
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: subject big mouth, Billy Bass, Hello, the one in the

120
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: town I grew up in play Don't Worry Be Happy.

121
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: As kids, we were absolutely obsessed with this thing. The

122
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: poor shop owner must have heard that fish hundreds of times.

123
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for the show, Calvin. I gotta be honest. When

124
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I first read this email, I laughed out loud thinking

125
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: about the town, billy bass town. Well, it reminded me

126
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: of New York movies, older New York movies, where they'll

127
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: be TVs and shop windows, and they'll be people gathered

128
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: around to watch the TVs. Except in this case, it's

129
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the billy bass singing don't Worry Be Happy. Bobby McPherrin, Yeah,

130
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: great too, all right. We also heard back from our

131
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: listener Shay in regards to the tomay O Vault episodes.

132
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: He writes, Dear Robin Joe, I'm lovingly teased by my

133
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: friends and my wife for my podcast problem as I

134
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: spend every available moment driving housework, walking the beast listening, uh,

135
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: and your work is my favorite. I was listening to

136
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: the second Vault episode about tomatoes this morning, as I

137
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: made my wife send my favorite vegan beverage, an oat

138
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: milk latte. If you haven't tried toatally yet, Rob, you've

139
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: got to give it a go. I I do. I

140
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: do love oat milk. It's it's quite good. When Joe

141
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: suggested that the fruit from the Garden of Eden may

142
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: have been a tomato, quickly you both accept the improbability

143
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: of this, since tomatoes are native to the America's and

144
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: the authors of the Bible would not have been familiar

145
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: with them. However, considering the importance of the ld S

146
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: Church and in this U shase referring, of of course,

147
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints,

148
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: um Uh. Considering the importance of the ld S Church

149
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: to the later acceptance of tomatoes in the US, I

150
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: want to offer a sliver of hope to your theory. Uh,

151
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: they can, he continues. In ELDS lore, it is said

152
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,239
Speaker 1: that the Garden of Eden was in fact in the Americas,

153
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: specifically in Jackson County, Missouri. Now that's more than a

154
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: hot skip and jump away from South and Central America.

155
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: But Mormon beliefs are central to stories of ancient American

156
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: people's traveling across these continents. While there is of course

157
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: no scientific evidence that I'm aware of supporting any of this,

158
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: it is interesting to look at the pattern of tomato

159
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: development and apply it to a story. Here. Imagine a

160
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,239
Speaker 1: cultivated tomato of knowledge being taken and or naturally adapting

161
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: and spreading to be the current like tomatoes of South America,

162
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: where they are again selected, cultivated, and spread north, then

163
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: grow wild and small again before finally being rediscovered and

164
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: becoming the tomatoes of today. I'm certain plot holes abound,

165
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: but what fun shay from the Rocky Mountains? And they

166
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: add a p s. In a recent listener mail, you

167
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: mentioned and how delicious a tomato mayo sandwich can be,

168
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: and I can't resist suggesting you try a pickle and

169
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: mayo sandwich one of my guilty pleasures. Hmm. Interesting, Oh,

170
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm up to try. I wonder what kind of

171
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: pickle would be best? Do you want to go? Do

172
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: you go bread and better pickle on that? Do you

173
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: go with a more sour variety, you go with a

174
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: spicy pickle? So many possibilities. I'm very partial to half

175
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: sour pickles myself. That fresh cucumber reef flavor. Yea. Now,

176
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to look this up to make sure that

177
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: this is actually a belief among the Latter day Saints,

178
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: and I think what I discovered. I didn't have a

179
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: lot of time to look into this, but what it

180
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: looked like to me, um is that the belief that

181
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: the Garden of Eden was in Jackson County, Missouri, or

182
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: it was definitely in Missouri. Uh, is not something that

183
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: is written in the Book of Mormon, but I believe

184
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: it is something that is alleged to have been said

185
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: by Brigham Young, and and that Brigham Young said Joseph

186
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Smith told him this, so i'd know how exactly that

187
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: relates to to its doctrinal status among the beliefs of

188
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: the church. But but yeah, interesting nonetheless. Okay, anyway, are

189
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: you ready to move on to some emails about Weird

190
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: House Cinema? Let's do it. Okay, This first one comes

191
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: from Eric uh and I want to include this email

192
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: because it has some great stuff in it. But Eric,

193
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: I think you made a few typos that I couldn't

194
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: quite figure out. I don't know if there was like

195
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: some accidental formatting changes or something. So I'm gonna sort

196
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: of skip or summarize a few paragraphs here. But Eric says,

197
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: good morning, gentlemen, I just listened to this week's listener mail,

198
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: in which you spend a few moments pondering who should

199
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: potentially portray Tom Bomba Dill in the future Lord of

200
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: the Rings movie. And then uh, Eric says his first

201
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: thought was Charles Darning. Interesting idea. Okay, so he says

202
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: it's it's difficult to imagine Mr Darning is embodying a threat.

203
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think about the sting at least. Yeah, yeah,

204
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: he can be quite threatening and a brother where art

205
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: thou at least when he wants to be. But he

206
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: can also turn on the chime. That's true. Um, And

207
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: Eric says he can sing, and he gives his evidence

208
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the movie The Best Little Horhouse in Texas, which that's

209
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: a Dolly Pardon movie, isn't it? Yeah? I believe. So

210
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: he also sings in Brother where art Thou oh yeah,

211
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: and dances is that it is a talented dancer. A

212
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize that. And then after this,

213
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: Eric says, I think he's suggesting that his dog recommended

214
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: someone to him. Jokingly. I assume and anyway, that person

215
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: is Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel is Tom Bomba Dill. What

216
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: do you think? Okay, so so, Eric says, you know,

217
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: Tom Bomba Dill, some people might think of him as

218
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of a a nature loving, quintessential hippie. But Eric writes,

219
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: quote Bomba Dill is clearly at least a demigod, and

220
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: he's a very powerful being. Well, he's by preference good natured.

221
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: He could be quite capable of violence. Even that some

222
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: remove and one would assume anger or at least implacability,

223
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: if that's a word. And Eric says, might have to

224
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 1: dub in the singing. Though to the contrary, Eric, I

225
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you're aware of this. Vin Diesel has albums.

226
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: He he is in a professional singer in addition to

227
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: being an actor. So uh so, you know he he

228
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: may be living life a quarter mile at a time,

229
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: but at least one of those quarter miles has involved

230
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,119
Speaker 1: going into the studio and laying down some sensitive emotional

231
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: pop tracks. Yeah. You sent me a link to this

232
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: and I listened to it, and I have to say

233
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: it's it's not terrible, it's not necessarily my thing, but

234
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it's nothing that would offend me if I

235
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: heard it in a commercial or in a waiting room somewhere. Um,

236
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that it just screams Tom Bomba deal

237
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: to me. But um, I I accepted its proof of

238
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: Vin Diesel's musical chops. I would say it's not my

239
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: style of music. But I'm impressed by Vin Diesel's potential

240
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: as a singer. I almost I was immediately thinking, like, oh,

241
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: does he do cameo? Could we? How much would it

242
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: cost to send him like the robb inglist songs and

243
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: see if he can just you know, perform them. See

244
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: what it sounds like. Yeah, it's not gonna happen, sadly,

245
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: at least not now. Maybe later, maybe later in his career,

246
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: but for now, Vin doesn't need the cameo bucks. But

247
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: also Eric floats the idea of of Wayne the Stone

248
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: John's man as as the rock. Um. Yeah, the rock

249
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: certainly is charismatic, and I think he can sort of

250
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: sing at least um. But again, I don't know. I

251
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a direction from my vision

252
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: of Tom Bomba till I don't know. It's such a

253
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: difficult part to potentially cast, so There was some fun

254
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: discussions about this in the Facebook group for Stuff to

255
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: Boil Your Mind, the Stuff to Boil your Mind discussion module.

256
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: I think we even did a little pole. Uh. There

257
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: was some some fun and some absurd suggestions on there.

258
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: I also, I think at the same time that was

259
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: going on, I was watching Hamilton's for the first time,

260
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: so I was also thinking of the areous actors in Hamilton.

261
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Oh, they could be a Tom bombadel

262
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Oh he could be up Tom Bombadil as well. A

263
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: lot of Tom Bomba is strange. Yeah, okay, especially if

264
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: you know. No, you have to remember in in in

265
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: the book The Lord of the Rings and Fellowship of

266
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: the Rings. Um, it's not said that these are necessary.

267
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean that we don't have music, we just have

268
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: the lyrics. They could be wrapped. Oh that's true. Okay,

269
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: maybe they even need to be rapped. I don't know. Well,

270
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: I just don't know if any of those actors are

271
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: like old and rotund enough. I I picture somebody who's

272
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: got to be like over fifty and kind of round. Yeah. Well,

273
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: we're playing the long game here, so give it time.

274
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: We just have some potential, uh, Tom Bomba dial so

275
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: we just have to keep an eye on and see

276
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: how they develop, how they mature. Of course, I realized

277
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: this would also exclude Vin Diesel and and Uh and

278
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: Rock the Dwayne obviously. Yeah, in their current forms. You

279
00:15:51,600 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: never know, You never know, all right. We also heard

280
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: from listeners regarding our Weird House Cinema episodes on psychomania.

281
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: This one comes to us from Dawn. Guys, so glad

282
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: you picked this film. I saw this as a young

283
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: kid in the seventies, and the image of the undead

284
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: biker's turning to stone at the end was both frightening

285
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: and super sad. I don't remember much else about the

286
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: rest of the film, but that final scene has stuck

287
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: with me for decades. Thanks for bringing the rest of

288
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: the movie back to me. We'll try to track it down.

289
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: All the best, Dawn, I'm curious why it's sad. It

290
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: seems like these horrible people, these horrible trolls, are finally

291
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: turned to stone. Well, I mean they especially if you

292
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: watched it as a young person. It's you know, these

293
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: young people are you know, they're gonna live forever, They're

294
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna do things their way, and then they're shut down

295
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: by old people. Magic at the end, it's kind of sad,

296
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: it's I can I can definitely dig that interpretation. The

297
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: end of the movie, once again to reiterate, is Mom

298
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: comes in and stops the rough house using yes basically

299
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: via occult paperwork. Yes. Yeah uh. This next message is

300
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: from Maggie, also about psychomania or the subject actually uses.

301
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: The alternate title is just death Wheelers, Maggie says, great

302
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: weird house cinema episode. Guys, I remember seeing this movie

303
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: about ten years ago at an all night secret horror

304
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: movie marathon in Philadelphia, and this movie was a huge

305
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: hit for that audience. I'm talking popcorn in the air,

306
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: cheering and hollering, particularly every time one of the bikers

307
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: rocketed from the grave upright on their motorcycle. A perfect

308
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: trash movie. Indeed, my friend and I thought the lead

309
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: biker Tom had more than a passing resemblance to Noel

310
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: Fielding from the Mighty Bush, and that lent the movie

311
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: a whole other absurd dimension in which to enjoy it.

312
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: Love the pod, and appreciate all the work you guys

313
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: put into it. Maggie, that's a good point. I think

314
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: when I was watching it too, I was getting some

315
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: some mild hints of no fielding character. Yeah, the hair,

316
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: kind of the you know, the long face. Uh yeah.

317
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: What what would have been like had the Mighty Boush

318
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: done some sort of like a proper psychomania inspired tail.

319
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: I think there there would have been room for them

320
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: to explore some absurd ideas there. Oh my god, yes,

321
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: they could have done a really good undead biker along

322
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: along the hitchhiker lines. I guess. Yeah. All right. This

323
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: last pair of messages comes from Lorenzo, and then this

324
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: is in response to us talking about the weird thing

325
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: that's in a lot of Italian horror movies from the

326
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, where there are scenes of heightened suspense

327
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: and then the soundtrack gets it starts playing music that

328
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: feels incongruous with the mounting suspense. It's playing like funky,

329
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, funky jazzy, like cool music, not scary music. Anyway,

330
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: So we were talking about that, and Lorenzo says, Hi, Joe, Rob,

331
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: big fan of your show. Keep them coming, Joe. Twice

332
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: you commented on Weird House Cinema asking why the upbeat

333
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: synths and violence sequences, and Rob you rationalize that it's

334
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: a culturally based counterpoint to the tension, right, So you

335
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: were talking about maybe it's just some kind of difference

336
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: between how like Italian audiences versus American audiences would regard

337
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: the connotations of disco music. Maybe Yeah, And so Lorenzo says,

338
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: while the synth work of Goblin and Co Is awesome

339
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: for the action sequences, those guys just stepped aside. Similar

340
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: samples were pasted over all sorts of genre films in

341
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: Italy when I was a kid, including overdubs of westerns

342
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: and manga. So generally it's a shortfall on soundtracking in

343
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: those sequences. I'd rather have John Carpenter do my truculent ambient.

344
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: To be honest, it's a fail for our movies anyway

345
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: you look at it. Okay, So Lorenzo is just dissing

346
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: some of the soundtrack choices of of of these Italian

347
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: horror films. Uh, if I'm understanding, I hope I'm not misunderstanding.

348
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: But I think Lorenzo is saying, like you know, sometimes

349
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: they just didn't know what to put in there, didn't

350
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: have much of a budget, and just subbed in some

351
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: kind of track they had in a library or had

352
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: the rights to or something. Well, yeah, I mean I

353
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: could imagine that potentially be in the case. But on

354
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: the other hand, a lot of wonderful things come out

355
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: of accidents and shortcuts in filmmaking, and so you know,

356
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't discount it just because maybe the

357
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: process was questionable. If it was questionable, well here, let's see,

358
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: let's hear Lorenzo. Second email. Lorenzo also says, as you know,

359
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: Italian film is all about dubbing. Italians to this day

360
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: see all cinema dubbed with a handful of voice actors

361
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: playing the parts. They do a good job. We have

362
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: a better Homer than Dan Castelneda, I promise you, but

363
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: you will never know this. That's great. Um. Why do

364
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: I bring up dubbing in the context of those action

365
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: sequences with the upbeats? Sense? Do you ask? Because in

366
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: many films they were working on whatever budget they had,

367
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: and they sacrifice these production elements to an aesthetic, so

368
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: funky jazz in a slasher sequence or bad overdubs. I

369
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: guess we're secondary to the aesthetic. But I agree with you, Joe,

370
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: it's probably not an excuse. Lorenzo. Oh, Lorenzo I don't.

371
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to to impugne movies that have soundtrack

372
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 1: choices that seem strange to me. I love a strange

373
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: soundtrack choice. Oh yeah, the stranger the better, the better,

374
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: the the it's the soundtracks that are not strange, those

375
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: are the ones that that can sometimes just piss me off,

376
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: to be honest, but I think I see exactly what

377
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about, Lorenzo with um certain with there being

378
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: a sort of strain of creative preference in Italian cinema

379
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: for maybe sometimes visual aesthetics over everything else. That like

380
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: the the the director might have a certain kind of

381
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: image in their mind, almost kind of a painting of

382
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: the way they want the film to look, and that's

383
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: really top priority. Maybe a lot of other creative choices

384
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: might kind of just take a back seat to that,

385
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: and I think that's true about a lot of Italian

386
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: horror movies especially. Well, this will be this will be

387
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: a conversation to keep in mind and to keep having

388
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: as we inevitably come back to the cinema of Italy

389
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: on our Weirdout Cinema episodes. Oh yeah, I do like

390
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: him taunting us with the fact that his Simpsons is

391
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: better than ours. This This is fun because I had

392
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: recently um, I recently played a video game titled Blasphemous,

393
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: which is which is excellent and it is um It's

394
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: a Spanish production and it had you can choose to

395
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: have the audio in English or in Spanish. And I

396
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: was reading about it online with some people talking about

397
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: there being an apparent at times kind of a good

398
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: natured rivalry between uh Mexican dubblers and Spanish dubbers, like

399
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: who's doing who does the best job of providing voiceovers

400
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: for for projects? And uh so, so that was interesting. Well,

401
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: I never really thought about that, how you might have

402
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: some sort of like good natured competition between the dubblers

403
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: in Spain and the dubbers in Mexico for for different projects.

404
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: Blasphemous Is this the the two D side scroller game

405
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: that looks inspired by the paintings of Goya? It is? Yes,

406
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: Oh I've been. I saw a preview of that, I

407
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: think a few years back, and I was like, man,

408
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: I want to play that. That looks like some some

409
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: real classic witchcraft. Yeah. I put it off for a

410
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: long time and then I finally bet. I was like,

411
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna give this game a shot. And

412
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm not really huge into the sort of Castlevania Metroid

413
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: type type games. A lot of times they kind of

414
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: frustrate me. So I expected it to be a game

415
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: that would visually amuse me for a little bit and

416
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: then I would get sick of it because it would

417
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: be too hard for me as a gamer. But I

418
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: ended up I stuck with it it. It was just enthralling,

419
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: just some wonderful world building and uh, and I think

420
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: it's challenging, but it never feels cheap. So I highly

421
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: recommend that one and the voice talent. I listen to

422
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: parts of it in Spanish and parts of it in English,

423
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: and in both cases excellent. There's some wonderful dialogue in there,

424
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: and uh and in some very creepy voices. Nice. I

425
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: just love the idea that somebody essentially made a Goya game.

426
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what they were doing on purpose,

427
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: but as soon as I looked at it, that's like, oh,

428
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I believe the creators have pointed

429
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: that out. They pointed specific Goya paintings that were key,

430
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: uh to this vision, to this world they've created. And

431
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: and but it also goes beyond that. There's all this

432
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: just rich stuff that's very you know, based in inquisition

433
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: and and Catholic guilt, and it just has a very

434
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: rich and mysterious world that they've built up around this game.

435
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play that, and then I'm gonna hang on

436
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: for whoever makes the El Greco game. Yeah, yeah, that

437
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: could be good too. All right, we're gonna go ahead

438
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: and close the mail bag here, but we'd love to
