I'm gonna have to figure out How to streamline My video making process I've got I've got to find a Simpler and more efficient way to do it if I'm going to get back to regular semi-weekly reviews For 2021 which I really really want to do so I'm not sure exactly what that's gonna look like that maybe all like internal stuff That I do on my side and on the editing side on the you know on the production side Or it may involve like adjusting the content a little bit maybe Doing doing fewer cold opens Sticking more to like the core reviews something like that But I've got to work something out. I've got a I've got to figure something out In order to keep doing this at the pace that I would really like to and Sorry, I I've missed some of the chat because you guys type really fast and then when I start talking I forget to read Yeah, things went crazy for everyone's yeah the pandemic was Everything just kind of went downhill Although some of the changes in my personal life have not been necessarily bad I've had some actually really good positive changes in my life. Hello, Rezakai. How do you do? I need a very affordable system for camera on lighting. That's what that that would make a huge difference Yes, although you can't really tell by this my lighting in here is kind of crappy and I had to like adjust things So I didn't get like glare from from that light right there I'm trying to trying to reduce the glare from this This light right here. So that's why everything's at this angle Otherwise, it looks like I have a beam of light cutting my head in half But the lighting for the videos hopefully is a little better than that anyway Oh SEO tourviews here.

It's all right It'll it'll all come back around it'll be fine You know, you just you can't replace a Hall of Fame quarterback overnight. I get that but Still rough season. It's been a long time since we've had a season like this, but I'll I'll survive I'll survive and Sam Adams here will will assist me in surviving So that was the sports segment of the show Hey, it's JLS comics. How do you do? Thanks for stopping by Yes, JLS comics it was with a YouTube channel that you should check out So, yeah, so that was kind of been Yeah, good good good point Matt good point But yeah, that's what's been on my mind is trying to figure out how I can get Back on track Neil West says greetings from Minnesota greetings, Minnesota from the United States How to get this how to get this ship back on the rails is is what I'm trying to figure out The Sam Adams variety pack is delicious.

Hello gas. How do you do gas? MC DJ AC DC says any Joe Toy news I think other than I guess the The role-playing game news I I don't know I haven't been Keeping up that much with with the toy news Yorktown Joe says salutations from Wintory, Wisconsin Greetings, Wisconsin from the United States Wisconsin with a team that's actually winning congratulations to your Packers My patriots are Well, they're struggling they're struggling right now. I have no problem admitting that that's just this is how it is Anyway, yeah Anybody anybody hitting target Friday is that when the the new target exclusives go out? I'm assuming that if I hit Target as soon as they open. I will see the same thing that I always see at Target, which is Empty pegs. That's all I ever see Retro wave 3 has yes I saw that with screaming Duke with jet pack chest straps, but no jet pack Yeah Yeah, anyway, that's yeah Retro series 2 has only one vehicle the thing and very different from the original it's I'm perplexed by the By the retro line, I mean I it's fine if that's what you need for your collection But I am perplexed by it. I have to admit I've talked about that before and I'm not Saying anything controversial here. It's just that I Mean you had vehicles that really qualified as retro you had an awestriker you had a his tank They were all very much in the retro style But with modern era figures But the thing is different Not exactly in the retro style. I'm not sure why not Maybe they didn't have the mold for the original. I'm not really sure But yeah, that's that's the question that I would put to Hasbro if I could is if they they could explain to me what the Thinking behind the retro line is because I don't quite I don't quite get it, but That's alright. I mean it doesn't have I don't have to under it's not everything is for me I get that but I'd still like to understand kind of well where we're going here Yeah, the MC DJ AC DC says the card art is the best part of the retro line the card art which reflects the true retro Art work actually is pretty good. I think I have Back there. I got the his tank Because you know, you can always use more his tanks. Let's be honest But yeah that box looking like a classic his tank box with that classic his tank artwork That was pretty sweet. I can't deny that Vegas says did see some classified Pimp Daddy Destros at a shop here in Melbourne for 39 Aussie dollars can't find the retro stuff though And I'm not sure how you guys will get the retro stuff Here it's exclusive to Walmart, and I'm not sure if they would release it to a Local store as an exclusive. I'm I don't know but I think Who was it it was I think it was Steven from Joburg who posted a picture of like 15 pimp Daddy Destros in a in a bargain bin Oh, hey, that's a cool band name. That's my new band name new band name is 15 pimp Daddy Destros in a bargain bin It's a long name But I feel it's good it rolls off the tongue That's right His tank 788 Anyway, yeah, I haven't stayed hip on a lot of the toy news. I've been kind of out of it Anybody who's tried to send me a message Like a private message and has not gotten a response. I think I think you kind of got the idea that I've been a little bit Disconnected so This is my attempt to get reconnected Because I've missed the people that I normally talk to I miss the people who are my friends my friends and I'd really like to Get back with you guys again Mom's universe says can't stay long wanted to drop in and say hello and thank you for all your effort to put into your channel It's appreciated cobra. Thank you mom's universe. Thank you very much. I appreciate that And thank you for stopping in and dropping in the chat. I appreciate that Paul says my target has an endless supply of fortnight crap. Yeah, I see fortnight everywhere and Here's the thing about Oh, that's a good question green yeti will there be a New Year's Eve live stream Possibly I will think about that if there is it'll just be me but And that had been become kind of a tradition turd Ferguson sends a super chat says so happy to see you live tonight Hoodie, thank you very much turd That sounds mean doesn't it? Thank you very much. Mr. Ferguson It is very much appreciated. That's awesome. Thank you I Will I'm gonna think about it and once I figure out whether I'm gonna do it. I'll figure it out here. Oh Well, I got to figure it out soon because it's just a couple days away But I'll figure it out as quickly as I can and if I'm gonna do something then I will announcement announce it 12-hour marathon I've only ever done that once But but it was worth it. It was totally worth it doctor Ferguson Paging dr. Turd Ferguson dr. Turd Ferguson you are needed in the reptile examiner room That's right, we're going on tour Yorktown we're going on tour Yes, something like that So for those who were not around I Did announce at the top of the show that for the last half hour we're going to do storytime and I'm going to Do this find your fate book Operation terror trap The reason I chose this one is because I like the dusty on here, but also in the background You've got quick kick kicking Destro and That's pretty cool. Now kick a quick kick his that's that desert sand has got to be really hot on those bare feet The guy really should consider, you know putting some shoes on Plus, I mean Destro has a metal head Destro has a metal head let's get it here And so that's that's gonna hurt that that kick is going to hurt Quick kicks foot, but there you go. I just I thought this cover was Outside of the the dusty which looks pretty cool. I just thought this cover was Absurd enough that it could be fun this this one could be fun Yes, it would hurt his foot on Destro's head and burn his feet on the hot desert sand That that's gonna be our first song from our album the 15 pimp daddy Destro's in a bargain van Our first song is going to be Quick kick burns his feet on the hot desert sand It'll be a ballad The bat the ballad of quick kick burning his feet on the hot desert sand So anyway, we'll have that in about five or six minutes. We'll we'll see We will see if we survive All right, we get you know, we We do okay on these I'd say we're not quite 50-50 on living versus dying We've had a little bit of luck in in the last few but on a lot of these we end up dying before You know before we reach the end so Yeah, well, we'll see how that goes There's used to be a guy named Cody on the Discovery Channel who is always barefoot Interesting, I guess I missed that but Yeah Government issue fake rubber feet that would be perfect. I want to be the guy working for the government who has to acquisition fake rubber feet for the super elite Secret GI Joe team Don't ask why they need fake rubber feet. Don't ask why just get them the fake rubber feet Get them the best fake rubber feet that taxpayer dollars can buy Hello snake eyes declassified. Nice to see you. Thank you for joining Last time we picked all the wrong choices. Yeah, sir Reginald that we we We've had It's a mixed bag But I'll tell you what I'll make you guys a deal, okay? I'll make you guys a deal if we if we die too quickly in this one. I will We can have a do-over if we die too quickly. All right, so I'll just well, I'm gonna be Doc Brown I'll jump in the DeLorean travel back in time and undo the mistake that we made that That caused us to die and we'll see if we can actually survive this one And that is unless we get unless we make like unless we get like this close If we get this close But we still die then I don't know I'm not sure if I'll redo that but if if we're going along pretty well and and and we die like really quickly I don't want to I don't want it to be too short. I Want us to have a chance. Yeah, we'll respawn. That's it. We'll respawn We'll respawn on a on a previous page What's the update on the shuttle? If you saw in the unboxing, I got some wheels for the defiant The defiant gantry now has gantry doors I have the both figures complete with file cards There are still a few pieces that Have been really difficult for me to get So the defiant is It's in a I hate to say it's it's on hold. It's not really on hold I just got to find the pieces that I'm looking for So Yeah, we need a solid respawn point The but hey the defiant looks good right now I've got I've got it in my living room because I don't have any other space for it It's really big But if you if you just add a glance the defiant right now looks great All right, and if you don't look too closely, you don't notice that there are just a few Bits here and there that are missing Also, I have the crusader almost complete because I feel like if I'm going to review the defiant I need to have the crusader For comparison purposes, but I need somebody who can answer a question for me I need somebody who can tell me if the umbilical cord for the crusader is the same Like exactly the same as the one for the defiant if they're different then I've got to go and find the defiant one But I have an umbilical for the crusader. So I Haven't found anybody who can answer that question for me yet. So working on it working on it Sergeant slaughter slaughtered house says it's a tricky one to complete and display I agree with that It's it's it's just it's enormous. It's not as big obviously as the As the the flag Which is very long, right? At least it like it it sort of it sort of box shaped and it's it's it's a little narrower It's a bit taller, but it's shorter But still a challenge a challenge to To display Do I have the Canadian variant shovel I don't have a Canadian variant shovel a shuttle I mean shovel I don't have a Canadian variant shovel either, but I also do not have the Canadian variant shuttle But One thing at a time though one thing at a time That's it. I want thank you JLS. I want quick kicks astronauts suit to be with it with no shoes Bare feet in space his feet can survive anything Do I have all the bases? Like all the GI Joe bases I have most of the bases. I think the the one major base that I don't have If you can call it a base it is the general I still don't have the general. Hello Trek reviewer Hi Trek reviewer. How do you do? Anyway, so that's the status of the Of the defiant I'm just as time and Money permit I am picking up pieces as I can find them But yeah, but I haven't I know what I'm doing though for the first review of 2021 and I I'm not gonna reveal just yet I'm not gonna reveal just yet Oh Yeah 12-inch Cobra Commander and the Zarena poster. Okay, cool Thank you very much Dio sauce. Thank you. Yes, I like those very much What was I saying Now I'm thinking about the 12-inch Cobra Commander and the and the The Zara Zarena poster Okay, we're yeah, that's right. We're getting away from the 90s All right, now there may be a little bit of 90s GI Joe here and there during 2021 But we're getting back largely to the 80s and I won't reveal what the theme is yet, okay There will be a theme for 2021. I know what it is already But it will it will get us it will steer us away from The 90s except for it with a few exceptions with a few exceptions. We got to do some 90s here and there But yeah, that that year of the 90s turned out to be a lot more rough than I was expecting Oh, hey, oh, I just saw the time. I just saw the time. It is time For story it is the story time is everybody ready is everybody ready. All right For those who haven't done this before For anyone who hasn't done this before the way this works is I start reading this book this is a find your fate book and on certain pages it will give us options to choose it'll give us two different page numbers and And When we get to one of those pages, I will tell you what the options are and the page numbers for them and you vote for Which one? you Want to choose in the live chat you just type the number for the page that you want to choose of the options And I will completely unscientifically Decide which has the most right because it'll go by too fast for me to literally count, but I'll it's not scientific It's very inexact, but I will I will decide which vote which page has the most votes And we will Go with that and we will see if we triumph or If we die, okay? And I already said that I will If we die too quickly, I'll I'll take a mulligan and we will respawn at the previous page and Yes, Professor Hoodie This this is called planning ahead. This is called show prep. I actually remembered that I was going to be reading So I had my glasses handy. So there we go. All right. Are we ready? All right, here we go starting with page one not page 12 not page 12. All right ready and Action It's so quiet in the central corridor of the second level of the pit that you can hear your steps echoing Not to mention the beating of your heart the hand you reach The hand you reach toward the door of the briefing room is sweaty But you're as ready as you're going to get you've got your secret arsenal hidden in your shoe and Your nerves are sealed You take a deep breath and Hold on you got an arsenal in your shoe. Is this the Is this the unit? Is this the shoe bomber? Is this is this is uncomfortable here? Have a seat. We're waiting for you The tall cool commander Hawk is standing at the briefing stage in front of a large map You blush are you late? Have you messed up already? No welcome to the team Hawk is saying you turn and look at the others around you your team Duke here will be in charge Hawk continues The blonde infantryman reaches over and shakes your hand you smile trying to hide a grimace of pain You're not even going to get past handshaking Lady jay flush flashes you a smile The lady is tops in intelligence to work with her is a terrific bonus Lady jay Dog ear and quick kick who's already on his way to the site will do the scouting says Duke Says hawk sorry Duke Dusty and gung-ho are back up. So I guess our Code name is dog ear That's our code name. I don't I don't like that and we do have an illustration We have an illustration of the team welcoming us and I Don't I don't get that a secret arsenal hidden in your shoe. Okay. Go to page two. All right. Here we go page two Welcome Monchah says gung-ho. That means my dear and Cajun lady jay whispers in your ear Gung-ho is calling us dear. All right The toughest marine in the world just call you my dear Then you look at the scallop behind hawk smile and he begins to explain the mission and you sit up straighter A picture of a real weirdo is flashed on the screen His cold black hair looks unreal above a pale face with piercing black eyes His sweeping black robe is decorated with feathers beads shells and a necklace of tiny skulls Okay Do we have to bring him? Do we have to bring him back to life asks lady jay without cracking a smile? This guy is for real dusty says dusty astounded that anyone prefers black to sand his favorite color Dusty's favorite color is sand But you know who his favorite color is probably not sand Anakin Skywalker No, you won't in fact he'd be wearing black the head this oh This could be The crossover this this could be Anakin Skywalker. This could be the GI Joe's Star Wars crossover Let's continue and find out I'm afraid so answers hawk. He calls himself the one The chosen one And He carved out a country for himself and sent himself in North Africa calls it Kamali I did it quick and dirty grabbing it without a pleaser. Thank you in one month. He's overpowered the troops of the neighboring country of Mumbania, I'm not making up these names folks. It's in the book And built a modern capital Kamali city complete with a castle Because nothing says modern capital like a castle the guys no slouch We don't think he's working alone. His takeover was too fast for that Maybe the Russians are behind it, but they don't like to see their puppets living The high life more likely the power behind the one is Cobra page three Lady J speaks our mission is to infiltrate Kamali discover the ones plans and give him the old heave hoe The one is really Parker Shaw of the Bronx, New York seems he was a real estate tycoon who found the US confining Okay Wanted a country of his own his headquarters are all are in an old mansion in Westchester County north of New York City Isn't that where the X men mansion is I don't know If Cobra is behind the one he's too close for comfort right you think less than 50 miles from the pit I think it's interesting that this is going with the comic book Headquarters of the pit rather than the big Animated series headquarters that some of these books use Dog ear. That's us Hawk is saying a quick kick is at Grand Central Terminal right now About to take a train to Westchester. I guarantee he's not wearing shoes and that is disgusting A train gun hoe explain exclaims surveillance of the ones HQ must be Undercover under very deep cover. It says Hawk That would be better than something so normal the train walk to be better than something is so normal the train a Rental car and nothing out of the ordinary. The rest of the team is going straight to Kamali. Which would you rather do dog here? Okay, so we have choices. Okay. We have choices If you decide to go with quick kick and at Grand Central to investigate the one State side turn to page 17 if you decide to go straight to Africa with the rest of the team page 66 so there are your options Type 17 if you want to go with quick kick to Grand Central Type 66 if you want to go to Africa with the rest of the team There's no page 12. There's no page 12. It's 17 or 66 Okay, we got a 17 and a 66 and the 17 and 17 and 66 is pretty even right now It's pretty even right now Wow, that is really close. Let's see. Okay, I Think oh 17 is starting to edge ahead Okay, give a couple more seconds That that's really close. I think I think 17 is going to take it But that's very close. That's very close. All right. I'm well and now 66 is added a few more All right, let's see any any any more any more. You know what? I think 66 actually Edged out at the end. So we're gonna say 66. Okay. We're going to the desert We're going to the desert on page 66 Here we go You feel good about your decision to go to Africa with Lady J Duke Gung-ho and Dusty after all you need to learn a few things about this mission And you'll take advantage of the time on the plane with the others to iron out the questions in half an hour A jeep drops you at a remote landing strip in New Jersey a prop jet is waiting But it's too small Dusty catches your disappointed look Buck up partner. You ain't seen nothing in another hour You're you're piling into a gigantic camouflage jet and on On an even more remote airstrip somewhere You might as well try to get some shut-eye Lady J says when you're all buckled in it'll be eight hours before you land on the border between the ones kingdom Kamali and mom Ben mumbania mumbania The country to the west then you'll need to be in a one shape We have to work fast scoping out the scene For the other members of the team who will join us later You're sleeping like a baby dreaming of Kamali when suddenly you're jolted awake Your stomach is above your head as you plummet through the air like a stone The plane is losing altitude quickly if you don't hurry you're going to lose more than that Paris page 67 Go gung-ho urges you you're the one who's a pilot your teammates lives are in your hands You tear open the door to the cockpit and there is the pilot Draped across the controls dead the pilot is dead His eyes are glassy his face is blue a heart attack. Well, he's definitely dead a Better than better that than foul play because if it's poison or strangling if there's a traitor You put the possibilities out of your mind. You don't have time to think you grab the controls The instrument panel is one you've never seen before But you act instinctively pulling the plane out of its nose dive fighting its destructive downward momentum Up up up and you've almost got it when the radio crackles Hurricane force winds ahead reroute reroute you have to decide you can ignore the warnings and try to land where you're Scheduled to in the mountains of Kamali or you can try an emergency landing now in the Mobanian desert that could be tricky okay All right now Here are your options if you want to ride out the storm and land in the mountains of Kamali turn to page 36 if you want to avoid the storm and take your chances in the Mumbanian desert page 48 so basically fly through that storm 36 or Land now 48 6 or 36 sorry or 48 36 or 48 12 is not an option all right 36 36 36 Lots of 36. Let's give it a few more a few more seconds. Let's see if All 36 is definitely winning 48's got a few more Well, it's it's it's getting pretty close to even now 36 36 48 Yeah, well I tell you what is this is like the the last one 36 started out strong, but I think 48 I think 48 wins in the end Okay, I'm going with 48. All right. We're going with 48 48 is land now Take your chances in the Mumbanian desert Let's see what happens on page 48 Thank you all for playing 48 here we go You're a tough pilot, but the storm looks even tougher So you decide to bring the plane down in the desert now Though this could be tough to the desert just inside Mumbania across the mountains from Kamali Maybe Dusty's idea of a little bit of heaven, but not yours bump bump kaplow Deserts aren't as flat as they look on maps, but you've landed safely Everyone is shaken up although happy to be on solid ground We just sit tight here. Let's just sit tight here until the winds die down says Duke Walking out there now would be like walking into a wall of sandpaper. Oh, come on. Let's Dusty pleads forget it Dusty You'll just have to wait until morning Dusty is still sleeping when gung-ho kicks his head out Sticks his head out the door the next day Holy crowd ad will you look at that the plane is buried halfway up in sand Dusty scratches his head. Well, we could start digging I'm no sandhog says Lady J even if we dug for a week. We'd still be here and mighty dry Your right says Duke. We can't get this bird up again. We'll have to take our chances He says pointing to the vast wake wasteland out there so We landed safely, but we ruined a perfectly good government plane your tax dollars at work page 45 Page 45 except I went too far 45 okay Alright says Dusty. That's more like it after burying the deceased pilot You Duke Dusty gung-ho and Lady J together as many supplies as you can carry and head out The days are blazing hot the nights are icy cold as the days pass both supplies and enthusiasm are dwindling Except for Dusty's of course somehow this isn't nearly as much fun as you thought it was going to be I don't know why you'd think it was be fun Finally you clear the mountains all you all stand at the top and they're there below you is More sand and more sand it stretches on forever Dog on says gung-ho us swamp boys could get real dry in a climate like this But what is that on the horizon? Are you imagining it? No, it looks an awful lot like an oasis palm trees Waterhole is that a camel? Look you point Lady jay follows your finger gosh I thought I was seeing a mirage like in the old desert movies, but if you see it too it must be real Move it guys this old alligator could use a good wallow Page 58 58 50 we certainly didn't choose the easy path All right It's no mirage. It's a real oasis the tiny town looks just like a set from a French foreign legion movie Lady jay approaches the owner of a shop and speaks to him in his own language The shopkeeper is wary of the strikingly beautiful woman sunburnt and wearing sand encrusted clothes After all this is a land where women still hide behind their veils Poor guy. Lady jay says returning with food He'll he's had a bad week the forces of the one have seized this area and claimed it for Kamali There in a fort just down there She points down the street from the market where you stand as if on cue from that direction stormed Three dozen soldiers with dark flashing eyes white desert robes and very nasty looking swords Woosh slash swish the sound of swords whirling around your heads is not amusing the this this book has a Knack for understatement Let's see a dashing fellow rides up to you on a dazzlingly dazzlingly white Arabian horse you will not reach for your guns He says you will reach for the sky and we have an illustration I have an illustration this guy. This is the guy that's causing us trouble right here And we have a couple options. Are you ready to vote again? Are you ready to vote again? I veto page 12 page 12 vetoed All right, do you decide to ignore him and fight it out turn to page 56 if you decide You're hopelessly outnumbered and had better surrender turned to page 27. So fight page 56 surrender page 27 fight 56 surrender 27 now Sometimes we have died Because we take risks Other times we have died because we have been risk averse Sometimes we took what looked like the safe path and That turned out to be wrong Other times we We were just too aggressive But I tell you what we've got a whole bunch of 56 We're like screw that guy everybody wants to fight. Wow. We are aggressive tonight. Aren't we? We are quite Aggressive there's there's so many 56s. I don't think 27 can can come back and win. So I'm going I'm going with 56. We're gonna we're gonna fight it out All right, all right, you ready The GI Joe team does not take orders from two-bit soldiers in movie costumes At the same time all five of you reach for your guns and let the nearest soldiers have it Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah You have have any idea what you're planning to do next but your options are pretty limited There are more soldiers than you thought and the shooting has brought still others out of the fort a low white Washed building that doesn't look as if it could even keep a camel out All of you run in different directions out of the corner of your eye You see Duke then gung-ho and lady J being taken prisoner. You have no doubt that they'll put up a Good fight Dusty is nowhere to be seen for some reason the soldiers have overlooked you. Maybe it's just not your turn Hiding behind a large palm you watch as the soldiers parade your three teammates off to the fort But where is Dusty? He must have escaped into the desert his natural habitat You decide to try to join him turn to page 57. Okay Once out of view of the fourth you feel a bit safer, but you must think clearly develop a plan The desert is not forgiving one slip-up and bye-bye dog ear Not a fan of that codename You spot a huge sanddrift and you can use that you can use as a landmark You keep it to your left as you walk Then you then you won't get lost wrong. You're soon walking in circles. You're hopelessly lost. Okay. All right. Hold on time out So if you have a landmark and you walk but you always keep it to your left Then you will walk in a circle. That's the only way to keep it to your left So, yes, that's what you've done. You've managed to walk in a circle and get lost in the desert genius Excuse me, where was I The day is blistering hot. You don't have a chance to refill your I'm sorry You didn't have a chance to refill your campaign canteen at the oasis You could go back except now you can't find the oasis You grow faint with thirst and exhaustion But you've got to get a grip on yourself you try a mental game You were taught in training you close your eyes and visualize your goal You imagine Dusty his goggles perched on top of his head and then you open your eyes and there he is You wave at him in the distance Dusty Dusty. He's too far. He can't hear you run toward him faster and faster and Thunk your face down in the sand you look up and he's gone Then you realize it was only a mirage. You don't have the strength to go on Sorry dog ear looks like you hit a dry hole this time the and The and we died We died died in the desert and That's that's too far into the story to to respawn. I'm sorry. I was gonna respawn if if we died like really early, but You know the hour is almost up And and we bought it We wandered into the desert We inexplicably decided keeping a landmark to our our this is my left to our left and Was a good idea We walked in a big circle Got lost and died in the desert. It is mud puppy. You're right. It is all dog ears fault We hit a dry hole. I hate it when I hit a dry hole. That's that's the worst man But anyway So we'll do this again sometime We're about out of time For this live stream, but we will do this again We'll take another shot at it and see if we can come out ahead Maybe we can hit a wet hole next time But anyway, thanks everyone for showing up I really am glad to be here again I'm glad to see everyone. I see all a lot of familiar A lot of familiar faces faces not faces. I see a lot of familiar names And people that I haven't talked to in a long time so Ben Kenobi is that you get very good So I guess I'll go ahead and wrap it up, but thank you everyone for being here Thank you for Your patience Thank you, what's on Joe mind? Oh MCGJ ACDC Sends a super chat Says thanks for everything HCC page 12 wins every time. All right. Well Just for the hell of it. I'll finish up this live stream by reading page 12. Okay. Let's let me find page 12 page 12 The car rental office is across from the train station in the small West West Chester village where you get off You get off in the village This feels so silly just renting a car as if you were tourists, but in But you keep remembering that Hawks said deep cover You're supposed to look like ordinary folks But quick kick doesn't exactly fit that description the pipe smoking man behind the rental counter is staring at him Perhaps because he not wearing shoes I am a gentle. I'm sorry. I'm a guide and interpreter for mr. Howe you say He's very important dignitary up from Washington. Yes, sir The clerk says as he hands you the keys You don't see him dialing the phone as you drive off the road winds Oh, there's a super chat from Rob Vegas says thank you HCC best wishes to you and all the gang here For the new year cheers from Melbourne cheers Melbourne from the United States and a super chat from comic tropes Thank you for stopping in Chris. That's always nice to see you here and always nice to talk to you everywhere anyway, the point is On page 12 we got off in the village Instead of hitting a dry hole in the desert. So, you know, that's a little better. That's a little better So anyway, I'm gonna wrap it up I will do my best to get back to doing live streams more regularly and when I'm able to do the next one I absolutely will let you guys know but for for now. I Will say good night. Good night everyone. See you soon
