I was never satisfied with my first attempt and And I just I just felt that there was more to say about him So hopefully I did a little better. I think one one thing that was kind of a downside of doing it Now is that I didn't realize before I got started because I hadn't looked at it for a minute, but my Spirit action figure has discolored a little bit in the intervening what like seven years or so But that's it. That's inevitable. That's inevitable with that light-colored plastic I just didn't realize that it had discolored quite that much But you know, hopefully it was good enough that everybody got the idea Yeah, thank you draws. I don't want to like Keep reviewing Stuff that I've already done all the time But there are some that are older videos that I just feel like I feel like it can do them better So, you know every once in a while, I do want to throw in a redo Because I feel like I can just I can just do it better than then when I was making videos like, you know Years and years ago.

Oh, yeah, I agree Sarah comic tropes rocks. Oh, thank you Bradley Thank you Bradley good for the super chat says hello Would you ever consider doing a new review of version one hawk and the MMS? Absolutely? Absolutely Yeah, a lot of those a lot of those early Videos I was really still still figuring out what my format was gonna be us, you know figuring out like You know how to do Editing how to I needed a better camera at the time So there are some of those and I think version one hawk in the MMS That is one that that I could redo. I can't remember if I even had the swivel arm Version I think I only had one of them. I think it only had one But but I have both now I have both the swivel arm and the straight arm So I think I could do a better. I think I could do a better review on a lot of those like the 82s For example, I still don't think I have done My definitive snake eyes version one review. I I The snake eyes version one reviews that I've done. I Just feel like I can do better. So eventually at some point. I'm gonna take another crack at at snake eyes. So Yeah, we'll we'll be doing that Derrudes asks it will I be filming at Joe Fest? I will be as much as I can It's gonna be really busy, but I want to get some Some video at Joe Fest one thing that I like to do is to kind of document these these fan events Which I try to do at the the last Joe con and I try to do that at the previous Joe Fest that I was at I feel like these fan events should be you know should be recorded for posterity If you go back to some of the earlier Joe cons like in the in the 90s Sometimes it's a little difficult to find material and information about them and you know pictures and video footage. So Thank you, Sarah. Thank you very much. Thanks. I appreciate it Yeah, so So yeah, I'll have the camera there I'm there there is at least one Uh Interviews that I would like to do maybe I did I don't want to I don't want to spoil it Especially if I'm not able to get it if I if I say that I'm you know If I tease an interview and then I can't get it then then that'll be a bummer But I have reached out to the person and we'll just see we will just see Well, I dress as hooded Cobra commander at Joe Fest. I could Thanks to Kevin from peg warmers. I have a Cobra commander costume, but I tell you I don't I don't think I'm going to for one very specific reason and that is the weather in Augusta is supposed to be Incredibly hot like blazing hot and I think if I wore a costume over my clothes. I would die Um So so I don't think that I will but but I could I might just bring the costume just in case I change my mind Maybe we'll have a cool afternoon or something. I don't know. I'll think about it. I'll think about it It's fair question fair question Doug says one of these years. I will be at Joe Fest at the same time You are missed last time you were there and I was there last year. Yeah, um, it's Uh The I would let's see last time I was there was in 2019 Uh, and then the pandemic hit and that got all crazy and then Like after that there was there was stuff happening in my personal life that just made it Impractical to take the the trip out there. So I'm really jazzed about finally being able to make it out there again. I miss seeing people. Hello, victor Nice, uh, nice to see you. Thanks for being here. Oh, thanks comic tropes Uh, this is to get a parasol Then you can escort Baroness around like a southern gent. That is exactly what cobra commander would do Um That and you know, I think chris lata interpreted cobra commander's voice entirely wrong Uh, he should have interpreted cobra commander as a southern gentleman Uh, that the the character just screams southern gentleman, doesn't it? Uh Do cobra commander on holiday in shorts and hawaiian shirt that's That's uh, yeah, I could I could just just bring the hood. I could I could just bring that in like where my regular clothes Uh, what I mean Cobra commander seems to wear either the hood or the the face mask all the time, right? And destro wears his mask most of the time And that's kind of be it's kind of become really uncomfortable like wearing a mask All do they wear do they wear the mask when they're sleeping too? Do they wear the mask when they're showering? And if so does destro's mask rust Does that happen? Yes, see tony's got it cc should sound like fog horn leg horn Um, hello exploriso nice to see you here late is better than never Yeah, yeah rob. So yeah, essentially, uh cobra commander is colonel sanders um Yeah, they're um At an event like that. There may be many escorts dressed as the baronists.

Nice to see you Uh, second of all, maybe, you know, I definitely want to catch up with everybody at the hotel bar um, I haven't Had any alcohol for like a year and a half ish Um, so I don't really drink anymore, but I have I you know, I was um kind of teasing the idea of Of having a beer. I haven't had a beer in a long time So, you know, I could maybe do that But I'm not sure we'll see we'll see we'll see uh, all of there, but I'll definitely catch up with with everybody That's one of the most fun things about these shows is you know catching up with everybody in the hotel bar Just hanging out. Uh, hello g i joe bro. Nice to see you. Um, let's see, uh, chun bubblegum Yeah, uh, in revenge of cobra cc was eating without his mask and destra was disgusted when he saw it right Yes, um, that is true and although There's not anything explicitly stated about Um, cobra commander being like a mutant That is almost a hint at it, right? It's almost a hint at it comic tropes has any plans to meet anyone at the con Um, I would like to uh, I'd like to see ron rudat ron rudat is supposed to be there And then like the usual suspects. I'd like to see karson from 3d joes. You know, I I'd like to see Uh, like dan clingensmith is going to be there with his uh, creating g i joe books um and like Just all the people that I I used to hang out with that I haven't seen in a couple years or more 106 degrees in arizona, but but it's a dry heat um That's really hot though. I I have been to arizona and it's it's it's hot um But um, yeah, um I I just I'm looking forward to seeing people again and I while we're at it while we're at it. Good segue good segue um bombs dungeon says I quit drinking over 10 years ago and uh, not a day goes by when I don't think not I'm not drunk enough for this. Yeah. I I know that feeling. Um, so uh Here let me show you something that I did in 2019 in 2019 I did this I put this at my table I put this at my table um Bart says hottest I was ever in was 140 that's uh, that's uh, that's that's that's rather warm Um, I think you can cook an egg with that. Um, I got I put this at my table It's uh, it's my joe fest card 2019 or 2019 and I just had everybody sign it and I really like this I thought this was a lot of fun. Uh, and this it's a it's a great, you know souvenir Just of everybody I got to meet So if you come to my table, I will have a card like this. Now this one is Is a tri fold so it's like it's like Got names all over it. Um, so far I I haven't been able to find a tri fold one of these yet So it may just be our like a one sheet card But either way you'll have a card come to my table sign my card Yes, Bart signed the card. It's on there. It's on there. Bart signed the card. They're probably several people on here Uh, that uh, that signed to the card. So uh, yeah, so, um Find my booth while we're at it. This is another good segue another good segue All right, let me show you I have a map of the floor and I can show you Uh, where I'm going to be So let me do that Uh, let me put the image on your screens like magic All right, let me I gotta I gotta expand this but but check this out So here's here's the floor And, um, I'm not a hundred percent sure like Uh, where the entrances I think these are the entrances Maybe but there are also these that look like doors and like this is a stairwell here um But the circle right there that's me So if you find artist alley and then like go around the tables that are like right in front of it there That's me So that's where you can find me um Uh Vitra says please be careful when flying airlines are canceling and struggling people left and right. Yeah, um, I'm actually not flying I'm driving uh, but I But it's good advice. It's good advice. Um, I have a lot of stuff I have to take with me For the table. So unfortunately it is it is impractical to fly. I wish I could fly I wish I could fly. I actually I wish I had the power of flight You know, I I wish just in general that I I could fly Um, so while we're while we're pondering, you know, which superpower is best um Yeah back row front door is the opposite. That's what that's what this looked like. Yeah, I think I think that's right So basically if you go in like this door and go straight back and I'm right there Um, I and I'm pretty happy with that location I was concerned that they were gonna like put me over here like, um, I don't you can't see my mouse cursor Why am I I was a concerned they were gonna put me in the the artist alley like the area that's marked that um And uh, I just I didn't feel like I would fit in there. Uh, so I'm pretty happy with where I am Um, uh, yeah, that's either a bathroom or an exit. Um, either way, it's handy, you know, it's either way that that's convenient Um, by the way, like at at my table in in 2019 I had a stand-up sign like a vertical sign I cannot find that sign Uh, I I I cannot I cannot find it So apparently I won't have the vertical sign This year. Well, I'm very disappointed because I liked that sign. I liked it. I got I just don't know where it is um, let's see Uh Figure six past says any news on the gi jo movie airing. No not that I know Um cover trope says maybe you should fill the toilets up with htc a business card since you're so close to them You know that you know that that is a great way to advertise and there's no such thing as bad publicity. So You know, there you go. There you go Uh, so anyway, so that's that I just wanted you guys to see Uh, get an idea of where I am And let me switch that back Uh, to the other image And there we go There we go. All right, cool Anyway, so So joe fest is coming up Um Uh, thank you. Thank you, vetris. That was very nice. Thank you very much. Uh, hello gen one. Nice to see you Oh, gen one is a red alert is gonna be there. Cool. Make sure you find me First of all, make sure you find my table come and sign my card Right, you can look at at my scribbles and see if you want a sketch or something Um, but also You know what when the show is over don't don't go home Find out where everybody's gonna meet and hang out. Uh, there's uh, there's a hotel that is associated with the the con Uh, those hotels usually have a bar Go to the hotel bar and just come and hang out. Just come and talk. Just just talk to me.

There's a fathom event Um, it's at the regal theme It's at the regal theater in august. I have a ticket It's for for thursday at seven o'clock local time In theory, I should be there well in advance of that and I should be able to make it to the movie so um bar says A hotel bar there as small gets packed. There's a ton of places to walk to so that that's that's cool So, yeah, maybe maybe we can migrate We'll see. We'll we'll we'll go with the flow. We will go with the flow So if you're in august if you're at joe fest if you're there on thursday evening And you would like to hang out and you would like to um To to see the g.i.g.o animated movie You know, I'm not a huge fan of the animated movie But I am I am a fan of hanging out with g.i.g.o fans So if you'd like to go to the movie hang out with me and and watch the the the 1987 movie, you know, that would that would be cool. That would be fun Dave says, are you going to do a live at the convention? I thought about that and I might I think it it depends on how well Their wi-fi does If if their internet connection is good enough, I'd kind of like to do that. I think that would be fun So so we'll we'll see how the internet holds up If the internet's good, I might look for a time to you know, hop on and do a live thing um That movie will sell out at joe convention actually like they they almost have sold out. I wasn't Sure if I could get a ticket. I think there are a few seats left um, so, you know, uh If you would like you need you do need to get tickets in advance Um, christian says I assume larry will be at joe fest anyone know what he will be up to Um, larry will not be at joe fest larry already had another convention booked and so he will not be there Um, it's a scheduling thing. It happens the same thing happened with sergeant slaughter Um, they had sergeant slaughter on the list But he was double booked Sergeant slaughter is actually going to be uh in oklahoma city Um, and i'm in oklahoma And I I could totally see him if I wasn't going to joe fest But I am so I won't be here Um, so if you if you want to see sergeant slaughter just just come to oklahoma city and you can see him there Um Curtis says, uh, I missed you brother.

That's that's interesting. It's like a There's a mysterious air to it. It feels like um Something now like a post apocalyptic story. You know what i'm saying? That's what it feels like Yojo said timmer have a review today timmer did a video today on It's more names that hasbro used More gi joe names that hasbro used for other toy lines So you know that hasbro likes to recycle names Hasbro is nothing if not frugal um Eric says if you come to tampa florida, I got you unlimited cuban sandwiches deviled crabs and cigars. That sounds great I haven't been to florida in quite some time in a few years I like florida. I don't have a problem with florida I could I could go to florida I like to travel I would you know, I've actually done a fair amount of travel. I did a northeastern trip in november I did a partial route 66 trip Earlier this month. I'm doing this trip to georgia this month. That's that's actually a fair amount of travel Uh for the year, but I would travel more if I could I love to travel Plus my kid is going with me and I get to spend extra time with her. That's fun.

Yeah um The I I don't normally collect boxes, but like that does remind me that I don't have the toxolab I've been close to pulling the trigger on the toxolab several times But it's expensive and it's weird and like Uh, it's it's that's a that's a tough one for me. Um Chad says is jocan and chattanooga really gone for good. It's it. I think so chad You're talking about the official gi joke convention that was Licensed by hasbro. Um, I it doesn't seem to be coming back. I would love for them to bring it back Um, I think that there would be interest and Not just jocan, but botcon. There's kind of a lot of people that want botcon back So I wish they would but it doesn't seem like they're going to at least that's the impression that I got um for uh The uninitiated the final joe con the official joe con the final one was in chattanooga, tennessee in 2018 I was there. I got some videos of it. You should look at my videos of it I I did try to chronicle that one. I did try to get some footage of that um That's right scarlet is from, uh, atlanta atlanta is just uh, you know A short ish distance from augusta I don't think i'm going to be able to like get out of augusta for any Excursions this time last time I was there. Uh, we went to savannah And savannah was nice. Uh, that was kind of cool But I I just don't think there's going to be time this time to do that It's going to be hoppin. We're going to be busy, but it's going to be a good kind of busy um Oh, yeah chats chats in chattanooga missed out on yeah that's really It's really unfortunate because joe con had a Long and and storied history And there was there was a community. There was a community at joe con That you know would get together together every year and it was like a big family reunion. Um, and That's why I think that something like joe fest is important So that we can still have that That family reunion. Uh, we can still get together, uh, and see each other um So I'm I'm glad we have that I I really am but yeah, I do I do miss the official joe cons. That's uh Um, that is something that yeah, it's I get very nostalgic over it. I really do Uh jump in general says someone bring kevin to joe fest. We miss form bx 257 absolutely Absolutely, um, I um I every once in a while somebody asks me about kevin Um, and you know, I I still haven't heard anything from him I did try to reach out to him. I I didn't hear anything backed I hope he's okay. I assume he's okay. I'm sure he's just has other things going on in his life But, uh, kevin is the nicest guy. He's just a really Sweet person and you know, he he's really the grandfather of gi joe on youtube He wasn't maybe necessarily the first one to do it, but he He was one of the very early channels that was Really committed and dedicated to to gi joe And um, yeah, like a lot of people were inspired By kevin. I was Um, and uh, yeah, he kind of he kind of faded out there. He he did it. He had a comeback But then he went quiet again And I I just I just assumed he has other things going on and uh, but but I hope he's well I really do I really do Um, Dave says, uh, I love savannah used to live there back in 8 I'm actually heading there in july on july 1st for my birthday. Well, happy early birthday, dave and Have a nice time in savannah. It's a nice town. It's just it's a fun town. It's got a lot of personality Um, plus, you know, that that's where uh forest reconnected with jenny. So Uh, a lot of history there a lot of history there Um, mart says form bx 257 is m i a rally troops fire up the sky strikers. Let's go find him that that would be First of all that that totally would fit with the animated series because in the animated series gi joe could jump in a sky striker and be like Across the continent in what seems like a couple minutes, right? So we could definitely fly a sky striker to canada So but just imagine like kevin's doing his own thing gardening maybe Trimming some hedges or what have you and here comes a sky striker with i don't know a couple dozen gi joe fans parachuting in Just to say hey kevin, how how you been? um comic show says i bring any peanuts for your pepsis and that that's kind of an old thing um a long time ago, um I I like on the show i would Uh put peanuts in my pepsi It's an old thing that i that i've done since i was a kid I haven't done that in quite a while and the reason is like Have peanuts gotten expensive Because like when i pass by the peanuts on the snack aisle i'm like I like some peanuts but not that much It's like are they made out of gold now? Anyway, at least where i am it seems like peanuts have gotten like It's like the price of gas it just keeps going up But but yeah, that is a thing that i do it's something that i've done ever since i was a kid is like peanuts and pepsi It's uh, it's yeah, it's it's a thing. I do still like it. I just haven't done it for a while Um, I was gonna show one thing from joe fest 2019 Uh, just a little throwback. Just a little throwback. Um Um This is an exclusive let me sneak it out of here From joe fest in 2019. It was given to me Um Because I don't usually pick up exclusives. It's just not usually what i'm there for although this year roma collector roma, uh, yeah roma collectibles. Man. I'm having a hard time speaking. Uh roma collectibles will have an exclusive um What's that That that news reporter from the animated series the You know that guy that the i'm blanking but anyway That one kind of looked cool And I kind of wanted to get it but it's a very limited run Um, and I feel like if I got one Like I would be taking it from somebody else who might really want it and i'm not someone who normally does um exclusives anyway, so Do I really need it? I want it. I want it. I do Uh, yeah, hector. What's his name? I don't know why like um, my my brain is blanking. But anyway, there is I do have Yeah, hector ramirez. Thank you very much.

This is a joe fest exclusive. I just really like this figure I just think it was a really nicely done one Um, I I think they made a hundred of these And I did I it was in the the poly bag. I did save the poly bag But I did have to open it. I I had to open it so I could uh Uh, so I could do the review but they it like it came with It came with an alternate head so it had the the It had the mask snake eyes head So it had that Uh, and then it had it had accessories and it had like It had your snake eyes accessories Helps if I turn it to the camera. It had your snake eyes accessories It had a A black timber wolf Uh, and it and it had a file card So like this is a pretty complete figure Um, so like and I know there will be some exclusives there. Um, I I probably won't get any I'll tell you what. Um, I am actually not bringing any cash for the dealer floor. I'm bringing none Um, if I sell some sketches That is the cash I'm using for the dealer floor Um, and that's like that's not to say, you know, hey, you have to come buy sketches I'm not putting the hard sell on you if if I if I don't have enough Uh cash to buy anything. I'm fine. That's okay. I I don't go to these shows for The for the stuff the stuff is nice Uh, yes, Matthew LeCroy master of painting. Yes.

Um Uh, yeah snake eyes, uh, looks like a blonde supermodel or brad pit except he can't speak exactly Exactly. Oh, thank you, Dave. Uh, did Matt LeCroy paint the snake eyes figure? Yes I believe that was uh, I think he I think he did the the paint as well I'm almost sure that he did the paint as well Um, but I'll and it's a it's a really nice, uh paint job He's got like it's got like a wash on there to bring out the details in the face And there are a lot of details in the face because you know, it is like, um, it's it's the scarred face. So uh, yeah Bart says I'll sell my hoodie titanic sketch and donate the proceeds to hoodie to hoodies fully fun. That's great. See The we're we're working as a team already Um, but yeah, so I'm I am going there to see people to meet people to talk to people That is my purpose for being there. Anything else is just a bonus Right. So like if if I sell some sketches if I have a few bucks to to take around the dealer floor, that's that's a bonus Uh, but my main purpose is to be there and see you guys So, um, if you are anywhere in the vicinity of august, georgia This coming weekend, you know, I hope you'll come by and just say hi um Last time we did that in 2019 We had a lot of people come by and it was just so fun. I I really enjoy it this this work of doing videos and stuff can be very solitary because the actual creation of the video is Just you're behind a camera usually in a room by yourself You know and then you get the video and then you edit it you edit the video in a room by yourself so like Having the connection with comments and stuff like that that's that's great The internet internet has been really great at giving people opportunities to come together but I miss the the personal, you know, face-to-face connection and that's really my purpose for going there Oh, thank you. Josiah 10 minute warning. Yes. Yes, and I will be stopping at eight o'clock by my clock because I've got to finish packing and I've got to sleep because First thing in the morning we are leaving out We're headed to georgia So, um, any last-minute stuff. This is my last chance to do it. There's no time to do it tomorrow So, uh, I will be wrapping this, um In 10 minutes. So thank you, Josiah. Thank thanks for the 10 minute warning And usually in football I give you a two minute warning a 10 minute warning is even better It's it's like five times better. It's five times better than a two minute warning Yeah, woodman, uh, yeah, you see what I mean, you know It's making videos can be solitary and you want the videos to be seen You want to make a connection with people and videos can do that but You know, it's it's it's at arm's length Until you can actually meet somebody face-to-face and I've been very fortunate very fortunate to meet a lot of you folks face-to-face to meet people to to be friends with people And I that is something that that's something that I've gotten Out of this project that that I really didn't expect Um, sparkster says oh me and woodman boy. Is that ever the truth video making is a lonely job? Yes Yes, um So If you're somebody who Wants connection with other people you have to Take the extra step You have to take the extra step and You know, you have to look for the opportunities to do that. So This is one of those opportunities and I'm I'm really excited about it. I really am excited nervous I'm always nervous before I travel There are a million things that can go wrong on a road trip But mostly I'm just excited and I'm looking forward to it um Bart's uh, let's see our low Lobo two Uh says uh joe berg floated their flag. It was awesome. Yeah, that was remarkable. Wasn't it? Um Hoodie gets pulled over and tells the cop. Ah, do you know who I am? I think that would work you know Maybe Uh video making and editing sounds like an introvert stream. Yes, uh, and like I am naturally introverted I am I'm a very introverted person I'm an introverted person, but who like Still needs some kind of creative expression like that's vital And so this is one of the ways that I I do that but um But sitting behind a camera and sitting in front of a laptop editing It that doesn't it doesn't get get out get me out of the shell. It doesn't get me out You know, it doesn't help, you know Um You know help help the socialization that that is very important and that that I I can neglect sometimes I can neglect that um Yeah, see captain gridiron and the fridge would only give you a two-minute warning See, they didn't give you a two-minute warning, but we got a 10-minute warning tonight Oh, and I weren't now. I'm down to seven minutes down to seven minutes Yeah, I I would love to go later tonight, but I I've got so much to do It's all of the last minute stuff Has got to be done between, you know the end of this live stream and You know when when when we turn it off for the night and when do we go to bed? So Yeah, we've got to we've got to wrap it up. We've got to get it done, but it's going to be worth it It's going to be worth it um Bob's dungeons, have you seen Wayne's world with Uh t-1000 have you seen this boy? Yeah, that is that's a joke in that movie that is really funny Um, and I think everyone at the time would have been very familiar with You know terminator or two but Like somebody watching it now Who hadn't seen terminator two? Like it would be a very bizarre joke On the other hand if you haven't seen terminator two, why have you not seen terminator two? Watch the theatrical cut don't watch the director's cut the director's cut add some scenes that are really not necessary But go get yourself Terminator two Theatrical cut why are you watching this go watch terminator two? Yeah, like come on What year is it? 2022 and you haven't seen terminator two The the nuclear bombs could have dropped by now we could have had judgment day by now And you'd have no idea that is coming So good. Yeah, yeah, I get uh, did you just go watch your terminator two Uh, I I don't know how I got off on that tangent. I don't know. I'm It's been a crazy day Uh, it's been A crazy week But it's about to wrap up It's about to wrap up. We're about to hit the road We're going to the joe fest. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be good Uh, gill says I was supposed to go to joe fest, but my hotelmate pulled out not worth it. I'm sorry about that gill. It's too bad I Hopefully at some point you can make it and I'd love to see you. I'd love to hang out. Sorry about that. Yeah um If you haven't seen terminator two you haven't seen the terminator. Yeah, that's true No, I don't want to go too far down that rabbit hole But like the first terminator movie it's good movie. It's fine. It's fine But terminator two is like turned up to a thousand um, I guess no pun intended but it's it's Um, it's it's on a much much grander scale. It's it's good And I think the movie pretty much holds up now I I still think you can watch the movie and uh get immersed with it. I think it holds up remarkably well Um Yeah, eric says I stayed after school and walked home to see terminator. Yeah, so you you know what your priorities are Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely Uh Bob's dungeon says sorry about that. I don't know what you're sorry about but That's fine. You know It's cool. I didn't even see what you're sorry about so hey, no. Yeah Uh Lj says enjoy the fest. I'm gonna try to I'm gonna do my best. I I think I think we'll enjoy it. I think we'll have a good time um, be aware though that uh at some point in the evenings, I'm gonna get really tired um And it's my instinct will be to just keep going but I will have to get some rest at some point But I'm gonna hang out with you guys as much as I possibly possibly can Thane says stop at t2. I also agree with that The watch the terminator the first one to get context Watch terminator two and after that. I'm not they probably didn't even make any terminator movies. So don't bother looking that up Um, but yeah, oh no, Bob says, uh, sorry for getting things off drive. Don't apologize for that. No, that's That's that's what people tune tune in for people tune in for g. I.
