They are they are the event And I do the best I can to to do some like peripheral stuff. There's another Cobra Convergence guy Hey the photo viper I try to You know do some promotional stuff and you know do some, you know like logos and videos and stuff, but I've thought to myself many times that The community and the event would be better served By somebody like better than me like somebody who's Smarter with marketing somebody who has more time and resources. Maybe somebody more famous than me I Can't say that I'm the right person to be putting this together I'm just I just happened to be here And I'm not I'm not just like fishing for compliments.

So thanks So yeah, I'm definitely taking a break But it's not gonna be a forever break because I have specific ideas I am inspired by specific ideas that I want to tackle within the next The next few months. In fact, I have four very specific ideas to To do to complete to do before the end of the year. So in the next few months, I mean I should be pretty active Because I've got ideas I've got ideas the Cobra Convergence is great Now I am ready to talk about anything but Cobra It's it's fantastic, but I'm all Cobra doubt. I've got I've got like All the Cobra I can handle and that's why Tonight is no bra. No bra Non-vergence no bra, and I'm in fact not wearing a bra lucky I'm not gonna take my shirt off. It's a family show, but you can see I don't have bra straps. No No bra tonight. No bra. That in fact, that'll be the the battle cry for this episode. No bra Free gung-ho Yeah Sorry gung-ho. We didn't get to you. Hey, maybe well, maybe I'll get to gung-ho tonight. So it's We got some time We've got some time Maybe maybe I'll get to Gung-ho you know what and All months all months this has been sitting here because I don't have anywhere else to put it right now If I don't know if I don't have a place to put this where the heck am I gonna put a haz lab dragonfly? That's my question to you, but it's but I was going to show you the updraft figure that I got That's this is now complete. I have the updraft figure and file card But I did not get the updraft figure out of its place to show you so Very well done me. This is show prep. This is this is the kind of high-quality Show that you get from here But I yeah, we'll figure it out Any progress with G. Oh the G on Joe magazine. Yeah, you're right Dave I haven't had a chance to check However, I have gone through some of my other magazines. I didn't find I Didn't find the GI Joe magazine that I was looking for I may just have to order some, you know, that's Thank you for bringing it up Dave Dave I may just have to order some because that is a part of GI Joe fandom from back in the day that is not talked about very much and I'd kind of like to so Yeah, I did go through some of the other magazines that I have and I found some interesting stuff But but I have not found I have not found the GI Joe magazine Which Joe or Cobra would have Alistair as their companion well, maybe I was gonna say a spearhead because he has a bobcat so that would kind of work What was the Rob asks, what was the Arby's order? Let's see. I got the French dip sub with curly fries and Marianne got what'd she get? Oh The chicken nuggets That's what it is. Yeah, so that's what she got the chicken nuggets and I got the sandwich Thank you sharp eye there We yeah, we did have some fun with that we were like playing playing around with locations Kind of going around and seeing where the best camera angle would be And of course the joke is that I'm supposed to be in the woods in the wilderness far from Civilization, but like it's really not far from civilization In fact, it's so not far from civilization that there was a like a big Piece of machinery like an air conditioner or a generator or something like that that was humming in the background so I was having to speak up so that the microphone would Would hear me over the background buzz From the from the industrial equipment that was that was nearest That's it Christian bricks has the has the answer. It's firefly expert and sabotage Yeah, so Hello, I'm a gluten and I I should have said hello to Rob. Eris area. Hello, Rob. Eris area and Yeah, low light and Alistair hang out They'd both be They'd both be hunting rats Did any entry in Cobra Convergence 7 surprised you well? Some obviously did because we had some new people. We had a lot of new people so It's always interesting to see how a new presenter takes on the the task of creating something but I mean, there's there was nothing that that was You know that I didn't like I thought everything was great. This is My theory is that if you give Creative people the freedom to create then they create amazing things. So that's what they did But I mean some of them were incredibly elaborate like like GI Joe Berg's multi Multiverse Storyline it was that was incredible. I Mean the Joe on Joe podcast. I always Have fun with what they do because they they always brings us a A bit of theater to to the event so I liked the frost Destro And I don't I don't want to like Get too much into it because I don't want to overlook anyone's contributions because I was really happy With everyone this year. I was so happy that That everybody really seemed to do their best and that that's special Hello, Tony Jackson. Nice to see you And thank you nighttime podcast So, yeah, we So It's been It's been a heck of a week and it's only Tuesday. It's been a heck of a month So yes, I I'm definitely taking a break I think I've already covered everything that I Had on my mind to talk about in this live stream episode so I see that There's about 40 minutes that I still 42 minutes that I still have to pad out Which I think I can do if I just stare at the screen a little bit just Do this For a while But not too long not too long because if I do it too long then that's not entertaining You know, you can't you can't take a joke too far Well, actually you could take a joke too far and and frequently I do take a joke too far, but But but it ceases to be funny after you take a joke too far so for instance if I were to do this for too long You'd be like, hey, you know What's this guy doing? It was funny once No, it wasn't really even funny once but to do it multiple times shame on you Forgive me if you cover this but are are there SCCC reveals that piqued your interest and thank you Joe Burke and How about a choose your own adventure? That's it. That's not a bad idea. Let's not that's not a bad idea From San Diego Comic-Con the they announced a a vamp and clutch that I'm really excited about they announced a A techno viper at SMS that I think is great that thing had better work with the his tank it had better work with the his tank If it does which I assume it will that's that's nice that that's that's a Bonus feature for those of us who were able to to get in on the his tank That's so those were pretty cool. You know, it was all about It was all about classified this year Which is I mean, it's fine to a degree because I do like the classified series but for those who collect other scales and you know other things Then You know that they I think they're they are underserved there are segments of the collecting Community that are underserved right now and I'd like to see that pick up. I'd like to see That improve It's not too far if someone was laughing which I laugh yes Marianne laughs a lot is one of my favorite things But maybe laughing at you that's okay, that's okay. I am I am ridiculous so if you're laughing at me That's that's probably intended Yes, as any or comic-con also talk about some comic stuff I I still haven't picked up the void rivals comic that is is out I am going to I'm going to get and read the Cobra commander and Duke series That's plural series It's not a series with Cobra commander and Duke like the odd couple that would be that would be the odd couple But I'm gonna check it out. I just I really I really don't know. I'm I'm really not sure I I I'm very iffy about GI Joe in and Transformers in the same universe. I know that's up. It makes every bit of sense for them to do it that way It's just not I I've never thought that the crossovers worked that well, so Maybe they are going to work better than Then I expect them to and I sincerely hope so But I'm gonna I'm gonna give them a try I'm especially interested in the standalone books So we're gonna give them a shot gonna give them a whirl and and see how they See how they how they work out I'll always give everything a fair shake I gave the snake eyes movie a fair shake, you know, I I always do I always do Anyway, yeah, I I'm not gonna lie. I'm really tired. It's been It's been a long day. It's been it's been about a You know 12 and a half 13 hour day So far and I you know and and here I am complaining online, which is not that's not the right thing to do I I apologize Somebody suggested it was JLS comics that suggested a Find your Facebook. Where are they? Okay? They're they're behind Serpentor here And they're behind the the cassette tapes Uh GI Joe challenge of the clones. I I need to get a cassette player have available to play some of these Cobra strikes The deadly satellite and The captive city so yeah, those These cassette tapes, which I I don't I used to have a player for them, but I don't anymore because it broke Okay, so let's wait, let's do this by random. I'm not gonna look I'm not gonna look I'm gonna pick by random And we have Operation night flight so so should I do this, you know, I should do this because quite frankly I I'm out of ideas. I promise. I promise next week I'm gonna have a planned episode with stuff to show you and things to talk about It's doing the best I can here and You know what okay One one way this book ties in None of the characters on this cover are wearing a bra. It's no bra. This is a no bra cover no bra No bras for no bra Let's see You know what I I'll tell you what I'm gonna do With my apologies. I'm gonna save this I'm gonna save this and and gung-ho.
