Marian knows Uh, what that was all about, but it then I got sick. I got the flu. I was really Really sick for about a week. Uh, it was not coveted Thankfully not knock on wood. No, I haven't gotten covered. In fact, I got a vaccinated recently um, but I got the flu and um That it just totally wiped me out It totally wiped me out and uh by the time I recovered Um, it it took me a long time to even get my energy back up So that project that I had started kind of had to be sidelined. I just I just couldn't do My work and that at the same time. Um, oh, yeah, it was awful Hello. Hey there cheapest big spender. Nice to see you here and jonathan ulrich.

That was my mistake Um, I I usually do but I had skipped it. Well, I hadn't I wasn't thinking. Hey, this is flu season But then like everybody started getting sick and then I got sick and it was it was bad It was bad. Uh, hello there rob iris airy. Nice to see rob here. Always nice to see rob here. Hello evan classified So but anyway, I did get better. I recovered Um, but my energy was sapped. Um, so I still haven't picked that project back up. I I want to and I will Um, but I've just been working and working and working. I've had to work more Uh, lately because there are specific things coming up. All right. Oh, hey It's chad. Um Thank you very much for the super chat chad. Um, he says, uh, hail lord hoodie. I was just about to get to My appearance on it's chat. I'm getting to the I'm getting to that part of the story Hang with me. I'm getting to that part of the story. Uh, but I will be on it's chad's show uh tomorrow And the link is in the description of this live stream of this video. In fact, there are a lot Um of links in the description of this video and they are all important All of those links are important and I'm gonna get to them. Um, so Yeah, I I've had basically I've had to um cover some expenses related to Uh, my car which is a piece of shit. I'm sorry. It's a family show Um, it's a family show. I didn't mean to call it a piece of shit. I meant to call it a fucking piece of shit So the car, um It had to be fixed, but it's been fixed. That's great. Fantastic. Wonderful me. Um, but it had It was an expense in the middle of Also planning a bit of travel, right? So I had planned to go with Marianne to see the patriots play the dallas cowboys in dallas That had already been planned. We had the tickets had the hotel We did it. We did it, but um, it was inconvenient to have um Other issues in the middle of that. No, I know that nobody cares about that, right? Nobody cares about my personal stuff But I'm getting to the important part. Hang on. I'm getting to the important part. Um, Cheapest big spender says is gung-ho Still a p o w in his box yet here. Well here is here's gung-ho And i'm gonna do my best To get to this guy. I'm gonna do i'm gonna do the my best to To get to him, but there's so much to talk about I have I have show notes And among those Travel plans Includes a trial a trip to the uk next year Which is something that I had been working on for for quite some time. I've been there I wanted to go back. I have friends there that I would like to see again and It's something that um, I've put together basically as an early christmas gift for Marianne and A birthday trip for myself because I will be there. We will be there over the the week of my birthday in march, so All is the point is it all entails extra work which has sidelined not just video stuff but lots of other stuff too, but um, the good news The good news is um I'm working on the next video. In fact, I have it pretty much all shocked It's written the core review is all Uh video is all taped. It's all we don't use tape, but it's all on video. It's ready to go Um, I have a guest appearance by someone they already did their park Like a few weeks ago. I just wait they're waiting on me to do my part So now I've done my part All I have to do is shoot the part of the video where I'm in front of the camera and then edit the thing together And I can actually have a video done it's a It's a substantial video. Will it be a popular one? I don't know, but it's a substantial video Um, and I'm trying To get it done for this sunday. I'm trying it there There are a couple of things that have to fall into place Because like I said, I've got to shoot the front of the camera stuff. There's an outdoor scene There's an outdoor scene that I must do that for that video. I can't skip it. It's too integral integral to the video And shooting outdoors is always A challenge, but it's I got to do it. So The point is there's a video in the works almost completed and uh, you should see it very soon and I I'm doing my best to get back into the routine Of making videos and doing live streams um Speaking of live streams, so um, I'm live tonight in case you hadn't noticed tomorrow not tomorrow next week next tuesday Um, I should be live, uh again, but the tuesday after that. I will be out of town um Tonight after this show, I will be joining uh, what's on joe mind with brian sour Uh, so unfortunately we had to preempt chico and the man So, uh, I'm sad to say that Rip tide will not be seen tonight so we can bring you a special presentation of what's on joe mind Rip tide will return to its regular time next week um So what's on joe mind right after this with brian sour talking about assembly required and then tomorrow tomorrow Um, I will be on its chad Link in the description all the links are in the description the link to what's on joe mind is in the description The link to its chad is in the description. Also recently I was on um toy domination and those guys are really nice It was a lot of fun. I'm I really am trying to get back into the swing of things And uh, and I've gotten a lot of help from a lot of people including chad including what's on joe mind including toy uh domination Uh, so thank you guys for helping me kind of Get back into the world Um, so, uh, make sure you check out what's on joe mind tonight Uh, preempting riptide. Sorry for riptide fans. Uh, and it's chad tomorrow One of the things that oh, hey, it's bart. Hello bart. Nice to see you. Uh, thanks for being here. Um Uh, yeah, uh, I do believe that hard castle and mccormick will be on after what's on joe mind So you don't have to miss that one. Um, so it's it's my show preempting chico and the man and then What's on joe mind is preempting riptide, but hard castle and mccormick will be seen, you know after that um so one of the things that we're going to be talking about on what's on joe mind is the uh, The demoin iowa show assembly required put together by codename iowa It is in demoin iowa on november 3rd and 4th. Um, I Really wanted to go and I knew that with all the other stuff that I had to Pay for with all the other travel that i'm doing. Um, it's it would be completely irresponsible Uh for me to go to that. Hello, rachel selenus. Nice to see you Um, oh, that's rachel. Hello rachel. Nice to see you. Um, oh, thank you. Thank you draws Will there be another 90s months sometime? I'll tell you what? Well, I can say definitively. Yes, there will be another 90s month The thing is I think there would be another 90s month anyway because I'm covering a lot of 90s stuff In fact the the video that I'm working on That's it's from the 90s The next video that I'd like to do would also be from the 90s. So, um, you're gonna get Some 90s stuff one of the reasons you get 90 stuff is because I'm focusing on 90s stuff for my collecting So I'm picking up a few things from the 90s that were Were gaps in my collection. So I'm kind of jazzed about having some of this 90s stuff So you will definitely see Some 90s You're gonna see you will have 90s out the wazoo Um, so anyway, but yes, and thank you draws and thanks for being here as well. Uh, that's awesome um So, uh assembly required it just didn't make financial sense For me to uh go out to Des Moines to assembly required this year Which is too bad because I really love that show. Um, it's a smaller and more intimate show than than joe fest but Uh, it's a really fun show. It's just I I've I've only been twice I went once before the pandemic and then I went last year and I really wanted to make that a regular annual thing but um, since it um Would be totally irresponsible For me to go this year Of course, I'm going so I went ahead and booked a hotel. I couldn't get into the convention hotel that was booked up or at least the The convention block was uh was booked up. So, um, I cashed in some reward points and stuff like that I worked it in a way that um I will be there as irresponsible As it is I will be there, but that is totally in character for me being as irresponsible as I am So yeah, so if you're going to be at assembly required november 3rd and 4th in Des Moines I will be there and I will see you and I'm I'm I'm extremely Thrilled about it because every time I've gone to that show. It's just been a blast um, see firefly said I'm thinking of skipping dfw next year and Going to an assembly inquire Required instead. Uh, that is a tough choice because I liked the dfw show as well um Yes, marianne is not able to make it. She has a prior engagement. So it'll just be me um Who do you say or bart says who do you stripping again to pay for toys? well, yeah, you know if You know, you got to use the assets you have, you know You have to use every asset you have to make it in this world And you know if I got to use my body in that way, you know, I'll I do what I got to do um, so yes, um I really liked since firefly was talking about the dfw show the dfw gi joe show I went to that for the first time this year and um I really liked it. I it's more focused on 12 inch collectors But I met pixel dan Ron rudat was there. I got to talk to him I met several people there that Recognize me. So I got to hang out and talk with people um, and I really liked it, but um the As much as I'd like to go In 2024 next year um, it's the same weekend as joe fest um, and you know, it's it's not to Like pick one over the other, but I had already committed to going to joe fest So I will be going to joe fest I it's I hate that I have to pick one. I really like both shows um, so uh, yeah, so The dfw show Um, it should be great. I believe daryl de priest. Oh, let me show you this Speaking of daryl de priest. This is a book I got recently. Um, it is um The collectible gi joe By daryl de priest. This is from well like 1998. I think but it covers like It covers lots of uh of the 12 inch stuff from the 60s and 70s As part of the research that I was doing um Rob says how did the dfw get moved up so far? I don't know. I don't know but it falls on the same uh, the same weekend as joe fest and absolutely, uh, I have no Uh, desire to disrespect of the dfw show at all. I love that show Uh, the but I I have previously, you know already committed to go to joe fest So, you know, that's that's what what i'm gonna do. So anyway Uh, joe fan 84 says, uh, oh got my joe fest tickets and mr. S is coming this time. That's awesome Uh, it would be awesome to meet mr. S and it would be great to see you again as well. Um, so But anyway assembly required I you know Heck it Heck it I'm going Uh as irresponsible as that is Um, I okay. See I'm going. I've got my show notes here. All right Um, don't forget it's tuesday, which means, um, there's a new episode of half the battle Uh, timmer is in monster months Because it's october and he reviewed the immortal combat Goro figure. So make sure you check out timmer on half the battle that link is also in the description um Dan cleansmith, okay dan cleansmith Uh does this, um series of well, I've got some where, uh, yeah these Yeah, these these books um on creating gi joe and it has all of this This pre-production information and artwork Uh on the development of gi joe action figures and vehicles Really great information And, um, he recently did a Kickstarter for the latest book, which I think is uh volume 12 I hope I didn't get that right, but or I hope I got that right, but um And I did back it. I did back it. Um, and my intention Was to do a live stream and have dan on to talk about You know the Kickstarter, but um, I didn't do a live stream last week and Today is the day after The Kickstarter ended so my apologies to dan cleansmith. Uh, the the project was funded Uh, oh, hello raised maize. Nice to see you. Yeah a long time. Uh, nice to see you as well. Uh, hello raisiner I think I I missed saying hello to you. So hello. How do you do? um Raisiner says which volume is the best that's hard to uh judge because uh each volume has um a mixture of different Figures from from each year. So it really depends on like What are you looking for and who is your favorite and that would determine which one it is because like check this out This has got early pre-production artwork for scarlet That is a piece of gi joe history there and then like if I were to grab This one which is uh volume eight. This has Uh, let's Well, look this has tomax and zeemot and it has um Oh, yeah, it has blow torch with with some early color work that Obviously they changed before the final production figure. So it really depends on What you're looking for as to which one would which volume would be the best? Um, but uh, uh, yeah, that's um Dan I would like to get him on the show. I would like to talk to him about his um About his book series I wanted to do that While this Kickstarter was running. I did not get to that my apologies entirely my fault Um, I should have done a live show last week But I was uh, frankly just too tired. I was too exhausted to do one last week Um, but we'll I'll I'll get dan on the show as soon as I can. He's a really cool guy and the stuff that he does is um It's really valuable to those of us who care and are interested in the history of gi joe. So So but dan clingensmith Kickstarter just finished What else have I got okay? Oh, hey diana davis. Nice to see diana davis. Um, uh, she's asking what happened to tico and the man preempted to next week Then we'll be back at their regular regularity schedule time next week But it's preempted this week for a very special presentation Of hcc 788. Um, and then as mentioned before Right after this show. I will be on what's on joe mind So, uh, i'm afraid rip tide will be preempted for a very special presentation Of of what's on joe mind. So, uh, yeah tico and the man and rip tide can be seen at their regular schedule times next week Um, but don't worry star skin hutch. We'll still be on this evening. Um, so Um One other thing that I think is important that I wanted to talk about Um, so the comic book, uh for super joe unlimited by power comics um I backed that I had, um, austin hoff on here to talk about it. We did a special episode about that um, that went really well that project got funded and, um Austin let me know that He got more of a response out of his appearance on my show Then the other shows that he was on and first of all, I want to say thank you Thank you for for responding like that. I think that's awesome. Uh, like I said, that is something I backed myself But uh in addition to that You know super joe has a A unique niche in the history of gi joe. I mean, is it gi joe really? Well, it kind of is but it's also its own thing super joe very interesting but uh, so The other thing though is oh, hey, hey is jls comics jls comic says hello and I say hello back It's nice to see everyone. This is so cool. Everybody is here. It's I missed you guys. I really did Um, so two things about the super joe uh issue number one comic book thing number one I will have a an advertisement on the inside front cover Of issue number one In addition to that I will be appearing as a character in the comic book my likeness such as it is Will appear in the Uh in the comic book itself. I will be I've never been in a comic book myself before so that's that's really cool And I appreciate the the power comics guys um Giving me that opportunity. Um, that is an opportunity that I I did not accept for free. I Went ahead and paid the market value for that because these projects are You know, they're not They don't tend to run on huge profit margins and I don't want them to like give free stuff to me um, I want if I want to help but I also want to make sure that I'm Uh, contributing right I want to contribute. That's why like on the On 3d joe's uh the art of gi joe book that that will be coming soon. I backed that with my own money Operation recall I backed that call sign longbow Paid for it. This is um, I want to make sure that I am not I know there are opportunities sometimes where people offer to send something to me um Like something new that they they've worked on some some new production Uh, I'm always reluctant to do that. I have done it in the past, but I want to try to reign that in um, because I I just want to make sure that Uh, people are compensated for the work they do. Um, speaking of which um, they're another Uh, three and three quarter inch o-ring toy line, which I won't mention yet. I'm not going to mention yet, but They offer to send me like the whole set right the the entire line. They wanted to send it to me Uh, and I was like, yeah, please let me pay for it. Okay Please let me buy it. Um I I I want I don't want to I I'm very self-conscious about taking Things from people that they have put Uh effort in so But thank you. Thank you for considering me But as much as I can I would prefer to to pay for that that reminds me of something I said that somebody did actually do something for free That I need to pay for that's uh, that's uh Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked the point is I like to pay for stuff and I like to compensate people for their hard work. Um I won't say who that was yet, but we'll we'll talk about it when the time comes Um, but I wanted to let everybody know everybody know that as far as power comics go I will have a print add on the front inside front cover and I will appear this Face this mug this visage Will appear I without my glasses Inside the comic book in super joe, which is just kind of cool. That's kind of cool. Um, but Uh, yeah, that those are the important things that I wanted to make sure to cover in my show notes, um the One of the reasons okay I think the last Okay, the last see the last big thing that was sent to me the um was The controversial, you know 3d printed cobra base That uh, I believe Is from someone who I I'm quite certain I know who it is and I that's not something that I asked for or Really wanted them to send to me and I've asked them not to um before that I think the uh the big like Production production or preview thing that was sent to me was the hasbro box hasbro sent me one of their promo boxes Which was nice. It was nice to get that recognition from hasbro, but I can't do that anymore I if if offered I cannot accept Uh while it seemed really cool at the time, uh, some of the reactions that I got kind of behind the scenes um From you know people who Uh were aware that I got it was was not as supportive as Uh as I had hoped uh or as I would have expected um or as I would have been if they had received it So, you know, I'm just If it's going to cause um division In the community or among my friends, I'm just not going to do it. It's not worth it to me I mean, I I reviewed some of the stuff in the box and all of my reviews were completely honest frank and fair I don't really have a problem being frank and honest and fair about anything even if it's free but you know, um Uh, it's it's not worth it to me. Uh, if it's gonna cause even accidentally cause any kind of a rift, uh, that's I can pass on that. I I can pass on that So as much as it's nice to get some official recognition from hasbro Um, I that's not something that I can do again. Let me I want to I want to I want to confess something. All right. I want to confess something that it's it's my secret dream It's my secret ambition um Over the years I've kind of developed this secret um, hope dream or desire to be in some way in some small Even insignificant way to be connected with gi joe in some official capacity Um, what that would be. I don't even necessarily care what it would be. It could be microscopic doesn't matter In some official capacity. I would love to be connected to gi joe and be permanently a part of that history Um, here i'm out here on my own independently talking about it Um, I know but for one thing they don't name Uh characters after real people anymore They don't use the likenesses of real people anymore. So it wouldn't be anything like that and you know, I um, I just would like Somehow to have my name In that history book even if it's a little footnote, you know, I'm saving it. It's a little just down here Uh in small print um So to that end It it's nice to get some ignition recognition from hasbro. Some at least inkling that They are aware that I exist. That's nice. Um, but it's it's gonna I I can't Do that in the form of receiving things from them That I'm I'm just gonna have to pass on. Hey, it's what's on joe mine a reminder that uh chico and the man um is preempted This evening for this special presentation of hcc 788 live also Rip tied will not be seen this week so we can bring you a special presentation Of what's on joe mine? So please tune in next week for chico and the man and rip tied at their regularly scheduled times Uh star ski and hutch will be on after what's on joe mine So you can still catch star ski and hutch at their regular time Uh, but um, yeah, uh what's on joe mine again? The link is in the description of this video and I will roll over there as soon as this live stream is done um, but um Just don't cut into diana says just don't cut into uh my remington steel uh time, you know Remington steel was one of my mom's favorite shows back when that was on She never missed it never missed it. I didn't see the appeal Right, but then I didn't understand that. Uh, I guess pierce braznan was a dream boat Does people still say dream boat? I don't know. Um But uh, yeah, it That just made me think of that my mom absolutely adored remington steel. Uh, hello, james lucas, uh, simon and simon That's a different network. Actually, I Yeah, I don't actually know the rip tied if rip tied and chico and the man were on the same network I didn't I don't remember that but for our purposes We'll say that um simon and simon is on a competing network um Tony jackson is debating the sound wave thunder Uh, hello chad far. I don't think I said hello to you, but hello. How do you do? I'd like to get my dusty signed by ron rudat Ron was at the dfw show. Um when I went there back in what was that? Um, I guess it would have been late june. I'm totally blanking on when the dfw show was wow, but anyway, um Ron was there and um, he I know that people brought, you know dusty cards to him and he signed them. Um, he does charge for signatures um, because like this is a He's got to you know pay for these trips and you know, he's got to you know, make something off of it So he does charge from uh for these signatures chad says late late june. Yes. Thank you chad late june um But if you have a chance to go to a show, uh Where ron is there and signing things. Yes bring your dusty Um, or bring your leather neck and you know, he can you can get him to sign that but also just talk to the guy He's really cool. Um Ron and his wife jenny are just the the sweetest and kindest people. I love seeing them. I love talking to him Uh, but yes, absolutely. If you have a chance to meet ron rudat do meet ron rudat um, I have Another note. I have two other notes in my show notes here two other notes in my show notes. Um First um delta 17 Which is a new, um three and three quarter inch o-ring line Uh, it should be shipping really soon now delta 17 is a little different from A lot of the other Independent o-ring action figure lines in that it is not a kickstarter um, it is In production and in fact apparently Uh, it's supposed to ship very soon from the factory and it's gonna hit, you know, the continent pretty soon So congratulations to the go to those guys. Um, I will When those are actually available my intention is to pick them up and um Uh, and look at them. I did have a chance to preview Um, the you know the pre-production figures at joe fest and they look really nice They they look really nice. Oh bart says joe fest 2024. Did you make pizza reservations now? That was a killer? Yeah, no kidding. Apparently. Okay. So in order to get our table on time I think I have to show up. I should I should head to the pizza place now So that the table will actually be available In june 2024, uh, the wait times are a little lengthy Even if you call in even if you call in advance call in advance doesn't help You gotta show up in october of 2023 To get your table in june of 2024. Yes. Mary Ann's correct. Get there early. Oh, um, uh, Draw says yo woodman. I think oh hello woodman 29. I missed you sneaking in here. Nice to see you Thank you very much for being here. Uh, yes, it was Uh, yeah, it was crazy. Um Again, I'd like to uh In my defense say that I did call ahead I reserved the table I told them approximately how many people we're gonna show up which is about the number of people that did show up And we waited and we waited and we waited Not doing that again. Um Diana's davis says, uh, what pizza place it was the mellow mushroom in augusta georgia. Um, it's the pizza's not bad I I like the pizza. It's it's pretty good but It was the the weight was significant Um, so if we do anything like that again next year, we'll have to Do something different. Uh, but anyway Uh, what was I talking about? Oh, yeah, delta 17. I got the preview of those at joe fest So it's really cool looking forward to those coming out. That's not a kickstarter It's gonna be available to purchase.

So I've already done that. So I wasn't really gonna comment about You know a lot of uh a lot of the news Except I I believe there are well. I don't believe I know there are previews of uh some of the skybound show comics that are That are up they are out And they do look pretty good like uh issue number 301 of larry hamas series It looks pretty good. I actually like the artwork in there, right? I'm feeling pretty good about that. Uh, and there are some previews of the cobra commander um first issue and um And that also looks good The art style is not quite my taste, but uh, it's still not bad um What Chad says I love how your show notes are on a legal pad. That's right And if you can read fast enough you can see what uh what I'm planning for the show I always have a legal pad handy um You know working cases, you know, you got to Keep notes so you can remember what you thought before So legal pads are important and sometimes like the whole legal pad goes in the folder for the case You just chuck it in there. That's the legal pad for that case. You use up the whole thing Uh, hello wane. Nice to see you Uh, he says when we do another video. I'm working on it now. I'm really trying to get it done for sunday But I have to shoot part of it outdoors As marianne, uh, is well aware Um from our adventures of shooting outdoors and thank you marianne for for helping with some of the outdoor shooting you Your help has been invaluable but shooting outdoors is um It's it there's always thing. There are always things that can go wrong. There's wind There's uh Change in light and cloud cover Uh background noise from cars from people um, I kind of hate Uh recording outdoors, but sometimes recording outdoors is absolutely necessary um Firefly says it's hooded cobra commander. So shouldn't it be an illegal pad? Well as a matter of fact, I Don't tell anyone but I do think I stole this from my previous place of employment So it may actually be an illegal pad, but just keep that on the download um And jls says, um, are we opening a gung-ho tonight a gung-ho is here gung-ho is here Um, and I was trying to get him, but I wanted to make sure that I covered everything That I wanted to cover. It's been a while It's my first night back after After a long hiatus um Mary Ann says, uh, you always say you won't do it again and then you do talking about filming outdoors Yes, I do that, but then I got you know what I'm doing, right? I've already talked to you about my idea for what I'm doing So um, yeah, I mean I gotta do it. It's it's too essential for the For the show, you know, it's it for this particular episode. I feel like I can't live without it um so I'm gonna do it see I could I could take the easy way out because if I didn't do it you'd never know You you would never know that I plan to do the thing if I didn't tell you that I plan to do it And I could just do something else. You'd never know but The idea is in my head I I I I want to do it. I need to do it. It's gotta be in the show So, yes, we will be shooting outdoors Um, hopefully this week um Uh Toys uh connection says I find outdoor locations shoots are hard to keep audio quality consistent through a video That is absolutely one of the hardest things uh, but it's Yes, I I mean, this is why I have, you know, white hair I I used to be a brunette and and look at what it's done to me.
