and I've gotten a few but if I can do three more sketch commissions in the next week I'll be in good shape so if you if you'd like for me to draw a GI Joe character the email address is in the description of the live stream so please do that you know and if you know that it's a time now is the time to do it but we've been doing pretty good on that in fact somebody wanted a chuckles and I was thinking about drawing that live tonight but I'm gonna hold off on that because my second camera is still crap I gotta I gotta get a better second camera for doing the live drawing thing and if I don't have a camera on it then you know that it's just me not paying attention to the live chat so so I guess I won't do the live drawing tonight but but I do have a chuckles started but I haven't finished but anyway so sketches there they're 50 bucks plus shipping and I do ship worldwide this just the shipping is different for outside of the United States and story time yeah that's that's the only other thing that I have is that we were gonna do story time at the at the end of the show thank you Rob Vegas for the Super Chat or the the one Australian dollar very much appreciated I will I will fly to Australia immediately and spend that hello Cobra Island how do you do hello Cyclonus yeah great Fox asks if I have reviewed for America I have not I don't have a complete I have an incomplete for America but I don't have a complete one to review yet I've been looking at that one for a while that that one's been kind of in the back of my brain for a while I it's a very unique and unusual toy and I'd kind of take like to take a look at it but I got to get a complete one you know before I can do it but but not yet not yet and yeah can you sketch the bareness in a bikini with a tramp stamp well I know that's isn't that like every bear in a sketch that's just like that's her new uniform it's a tattoo that says property of Destro something like that you know classy classy anyway thanks for joining us everyone thank you for being here thank you for being here every Tuesday I see a lot of folks stop by every Tuesday and that is really nice and I really do appreciate it I like that very much right now I am surrounded by stuff that I can't show you because it's stuff for videos that are coming up and I don't want to spoil them making list of figures you need and putting them on your website I have thought of that and I do need to do that there was a time when I did try to keep a list of stuff that I need but I was getting stuff so quickly that I just wasn't keeping up with the list it was impossible to keep the list up because it you know is being would need to be updated so frequently well I'm not getting stuff as frequently anymore so it would be easier to keep the list there's a lot of common stuff that I don't have yet but there's also a lot of rare stuff that I don't have yet in fact I'm down to the to complete the collection on I thank you guys thank you very much hey it gas is here so you know all as well as long as gas is here but yeah like I've got I've got most of the vintage line but some of the stuff that I don't have is is rare stuff and probably not reasonable to expect people to actually send thank you Gray Fox this is pressure to review for America I feel pressured I feel pressured but I but I want to review for America so it's not too much pressure I would really like to take a look at it is a it's a strange and unique thing but I need to I need to pull out the one that I have it's it's missing a lot it's not near complete but I don't remember what all it's missing hello renegade biker hello jump in general yes so but there's also still a lot of common stuff mostly from the 90s that I don't have and like it hasn't been a high priority because it's common stuff and I know I can always find it you know and it's never very expensive but but I still need that stuff to finish out the collection I have a lot of 1993 but there's still some 1993 that I don't have and this 1993 was just such a heavy year they made so much stuff that year that it's crazy that it's cool it's cool Gray Fox it's something that I will do but I want to I like that's that's one that if I could do it really soon I'd be happy to what are they named for America in Europe a Royal Royale was cheese yeah that was it is Royale with cheese it's you know around the corner you can get a big Mac I think they just named it for it America because it was like a subtle way of invading Europe and claiming Europe for America like this is ours now we're in charge well we have a fort here therefore it's for America now welcome to the United States but yeah it's I mean it's it's it's it's a very bold name isn't it for America you you better you know you better really come with your a game if you're gonna name your your your base for America that's you know that you can't have like some little tiny base off to the side and call it for America no no like it's got to be significant and none of the large GI Joe headquarters were were called Fort America instead they what they called Fort America was this weird kind of in between size thing I I want to look at I do I thanks for mentioning it that it kind of reminds me that I that I that I haven't finished that one and that I would like to look at it yes it's a brick wall so I don't I don't know maybe it's a maybe it's a subtle commentary on American culture I don't know maybe maybe it's like secretly subversive I don't know I check that out that this that sounds fun it's for America bigger than the general no the general the general is big the general is way big and the general is one another one I don't have and I don't even have an incomplete general I there was a general at Joe Fest that I really should have picked up and I didn't oh thank you Rob Vegas Fort Australia would have been a few rusty cars on the lawn and some slabs of VB you know I yeah I I'm not prone to like sweeping statements but there there's a an observation that I've made that's probably incorrect and that is an I think that Australians and Americans like maybe have a lot in common like culturally and just Josiah weekly what's on Joe mine plug Friday nights make sure you check out what's on Joe mine Friday nights I don't think they did one last Friday I think they took that Friday off but they should be back you know they should be rolling with the next week so make sure you check out that out on Friday what's on Joe mine is one of the longest running GI Joe podcasts or shows of any kind so do do check out what's on Joe mine to check it out on Friday but check out their their older stuff to go back watch their their older stuff and listen to the old episodes of the podcast really really good stuff there but yeah like I kind of feel like Australians and and Americans are cut from the same cloth you know when I visited the UK we all had fun talking with our British friends about all the differences between you know Americans and and and British people but if I feel like if I visited Australia we would be talking about all of the stuff we have in common but again that's that's that's just an impression and it's probably wrong but it's just it's just a completely unscientific observation that I've made hello Bob's dungeon nice to see you thank you for being here hello David Sharp nice to see you David Sharp is late I hope you brought you know snacks you know if you're late you have to bring snacks for everyone so if there are no snacks right now you know I can bring him next time but you know that's the penalty for being late as you have to bring snacks I I can't show like I'm I honestly my workstation I try to not keep it cluttered it's a little hello Christian bricks hello greetings Denmark from the United States nice to see you sir thank you for your long support of the channel it's really always good to see you here I key I try to keep my workstation reasonably clean but like since I use the same table for the live stream and for shooting reviews that's difficult to do especially when there's a project in progress as there is right now there's I'm actually surrounded by stuff for two different videos two different videos so and I can't show them to you because it would spoil the upcoming video oh thank you once on Joe mine where the hell are singing cats you just missed them you always miss the singing cats like we do this whole singing singing cats number at the at the start of the show and then like you miss it every time but we were just mentioning what's on Joe mine make sure you check out what's on Joe mine on Friday and check out their back catalog really good stuff really good stuff very important stuff yeah so I can't show you any of the stuff that I'm surrounded by like and it's difficult because like if I if I have an action figure near me I like to fidget with it I like to fidget with it while I'm doing the the live show but I can't really I can't really do that with with anything here and over here there's this stuff that I got of the PO box which I haven't opened yet so I can't show that to you either I haven't opened it yet I got to do the opening video so yeah hello Rogers aquarium nice to see you mega high back thanks for being here so yes we are yeah see Chad Chad's getting with the spirit of the cat show yeah so like I don't have show and tell I can't show you any of this in fact I mentioned the sketch commissions earlier and there is like I have a sketch right over there that I could show you but I can't show you because it's for a thumbnail for an upcoming video and that would spoil what's coming up in the video so I can't show you any of this stuff here now here's what I can show you here right right here right here here's a figure stand yo Joe you know is it here's a real American heroic figure stand that holds a real man that's kind of scratchy and smudgy on the bottom it's fine it's fine but yeah see this is it this is the extent this is the extent of what I can show you I can show you nothing else nothing within reach well I mean I can show you that stuff you already seen that stuff Matt Matt Rubin is doing the the jingle for me I'll mix I like liver I like chicken I like liver Josiah thank you hit the like button okay fine I will hit the like button where's the like button but thank you Josiah and thanks for being here each week Josiah it's really nice nice to see you and why nice to see everyone this is this is like a like sort of like therapy for me it I always feel better after the live show even if I've had a crappy week and a crappy day and then honestly this week's not been that great this week has been a little bit of a challenge and a little bit annoying but but this always makes me feel better it's like just sitting and hanging out with some friends for an hour and that's that's nice I need that from time to time hello Adolf nice to see you it's you know how's life in the bunker thanks for joining yeah so like I can't really draw I mean I can draw but I can't really draw live hello Matt nice to see you there how do you do and I can't show you any of this stuff so what what what can I do what what can I we'll just we'll just hang out we'll just hang out and then oh thank you for the the the vlog stickers comic tropes and thank you for all you do as well comic tropes you've got a really good show I like the show and I hope everyone will check that out and then we'll but you know what is not on comic tropes story time yeah where else can you get story time other than right here nowhere that's where in fact I don't think if you search the entire internet you will find anybody reading stories or at least these particular stories so we still got like 10 minutes before we start story time we still got 10 minutes so I just got to like come up with words and speak for for 10 minutes what should what what should we speak about well what what's on your mind what's how you doing you know you doing alright you doing well we we just wrapped up Cobra convergence show Joe shirt it's a stalker I got a stalker we just wrapped up Cobra convergence and so I'm getting away from Cobra stuff for a little while just because we had Cobra overload for for a little while but I'm working on the next main review video it's not gonna be up this Sunday it'll be up the following Sunday just because it's big and it's gonna take a minute to finish but I but I I took a real legitimate week off I took a real legitimate week off after Cobra convergence and that the week off is done no more weeks off but I really did I really did take an actual break kind of stepped away from everything relaxed a little bit enjoyed not feeling you know the pressure and it was nice it was nice it was nice Matt says he started started my Joe thick that's all hey that's cool so yeah so I guess somebody's doing story time that's nice Matt Ryan top three Joe vehicles and Cobra vehicles well it's probably it's obvious stuff I think like top three Joe vehicles for me it's like the whale the vamp and the sky striker as you know that's like a lot of people hello Jamalyn nice to see you I do comic tropes tells poop stories well you know that's you know you gotta you have to you have to you have to you have to tell stories about what you know about right you have to you know you have to like stay true to life I suppose but that's I'm I jest I I'm funny I I'm hilarious aren't I but yeah comic tropes does a live show on the second channel a spinner rack I'm sorry it's pros and cons is the second channel and the live show is spinner rack I do try to stop in there as much as I can I have not been able to do that for the last few weeks because I've just been just by coincidence at the time that that's going on I've just had to do other things so but I do try to stop by and say hello to Chris when I can but yeah anyway well we've got a pretty good crowded here and we've got a lot of the usual suspects that's awesome Terraform Mars nice to see you there I don't think I saw you sneak in but it's nice to see you see a lot of this and Cobra Laska it was the funniest thank you thank you Terraform it's nice to see nice to know somebody's watching and nice to know that somebody thinks some of it is funny besides just me so thank you thank you very much the Cobra the Cobra Laska yeah anyway what are we doing it is we got we still got a few minutes we still got a few minutes usually at the bottom half of the hour we will do story time and we're going to read together this GI Joe find your fate book and for those not familiar we get to control the outcome of find your fate we get to make choices and we will make those choices together and we will see if we live or if we die Matt says have you ever thought of taking all the skits you've made and combine them for a video I have at one point I did that but it was a long time ago and I've done a lot since then comment or says Mad Lib Mad Lib comment tropes did send me another Mad Lib and I've been talking about getting to that for a few weeks now and yet I still haven't and I'm sorry about that I apologize I don't think well and again yet again I don't think we'll have time to do it tonight because the the story time I think will take up the the last half of the show but the Mad Libs alright for those of you who are not here on the 4th of July we kind of wrapped up the 12 hour live stream with a Mad Libs that Chris from comic tropes provided and it was hilarious it was it was one of the best parts of the day for me I enjoyed it a lot everybody else seemed to enjoy it as well so we need to do it again and there was another one he there was a second one that he did and I keep talking about getting to it and then I keep forgetting to get to it so that's that's so me that does sound like something I would do but I will but like if I say I'm gonna get to something I do get to it sometimes takes longer than expected but I do get to it but it's I mean that's it's fun though it's it's really really fun knowing is half the battle skits a twinkie wiener sandwich your favorite yes I'm I'm always down for UHF references I that's it's one of my favorite movies do I have a favorite GI Joe PSA that's a good question I can't remember exactly which character did it but there is a PSA where one of the Joe's teaches a kid how to swim like how to how to tread water and I always thought that one was like actually quite useful and taught something other than just be careful around water you know be careful a lot around electricity you know be careful around fire it was it was a PSA that that actually taught something that you might not otherwise know how to do if you're a very young child so like hey you know that that's the one that pops into my mind actually but I don't remember which Joe did it like I I need to go look it up I gotta go look it up platypus eyes yeah yeah okay torpedo yeah that's yeah that's that's gotta be the one spatula city the scarlet with water skiing yeah the yeah yeah I'm I am a fan of weird Al and if I if I get to if I allow the conversation to go too far we love fish and to go too far down that rabbit hole then that's what that's all we'll be doing all night and we won't be doing story time because because I do rather enjoy that that particular that particular thing they're like in the movie UHF I mean it was filmed locally and at the beginning of the movie there is a hamburger restaurant that where Al where we are that weird Al and his buddy get thrown out they get fired thank you Josiah check out Cobra Island and Tim or after this yes yes because this show will wrap up at 8 o'clock my time and there's other stuff to watch so make sure you use check out and support your other GI Joe fan creators thank you Josiah thank you very much anyway that that that burger restaurant was a real place it was called Arnie's and it was in West Tulsa and my oldest daughter and my mom so her grandmother used to eat there all the time it was near where her school was so she like they'd stop by after school and be it'd be like a an after-school treat so that like that that burger joint from the movie it was like like a regular place for for my oldest daughter but it's it doesn't it's closed down though the guy retired I think and and it's been closed for a little while so it doesn't really exist anymore which I think is too bad because like it's I mean it's it's I don't know how historical a burger joint can be but it was in a movie it's now it's now you know Hollywood filming location but anyway yeah that's a now see I've already started you see you got me started on UHF and you see what happens you see story time it's you know that look let's let's start story time before before before we we get too far off track okay let's let's start this before we really get in trouble who knows what could happen okay so let's let me explain let me explain okay this is how story time works okay this is a find your fate book so on certain pages you will have options for instance you got you you got two options at the bottom of this page and depending on what choice you make you turn to either page 57 or 22 okay right so we start reading it like a regular book okay and then when we get to one of those pages where there's an option I will tell you what the page numbers are and in the live chat you will type your selection type the page number that you want to turn to and I will very unscientifically guess which of those choices gets the most votes and we will turn to that page and find our fate okay so that's how it works I will state one caveat I would not recommend spamming the live chat over and over because the YouTube you know automated robots might kick you out I got nothing to do with that the if the YouTube robots think that you're spamming a live chat you may be kicked out and I don't want anybody kick out so don't don't spam don't spam the live chat don't send the same thing over and over but just you know just just pick the one the page that you want to turn to type it in the live chat I will look at them and guess which one so there that's how it works are you ready are you ready for some football okay this is GI Joe a real American hero operation night flight by William Snow you are a member of the GI Joe team act quickly and decisively or cobra will control an important new weapon live the adventure we've got a nice nice picture of Flint and breaker and snake eyes and a sky striker and some cobra viper gliders thank you Chad spam you know I do like spam a fried spam sandwich fried spam and egg sandwich that's fantastic that's good stuff okay we're starting we're reading out on an isolated military air base in the Aleutian Islands the sky slowly darkens into evening you learn you lean against an old filing cabinet a gaze out the window of the radio room there's not much to see because the seat the tea kettle boiling away on the hot plate has got the window all steamed up Delta it's almost 1700 5 o'clock your buddy says from behind you better get ready for your guard duty shift glancing up the clock you catch a second hand sweeping past 12 yeah I know you answer but thanks for reminding me breaker the communication of communications officer smiles a little as he props his feet up against the desk it's not that bad out here out there tonight he says picking up the latest weather report we've got 17 degrees and a wind out of the north northeast at 10 to 15 knots could be worse he tosses the report back to the desk of course if that's not in Fahrenheit if that if that's 17 degrees what was it yeah if that's 17 degrees isn't in Fahrenheit I don't think that makes a lot of sense to you you zip up your parka and sling your m16 over your shoulder then as you push up open the door breaker calls out yo Delta I'll send some coffee out to you and about an hour all right you give him a nod and you step outside and there is an illustration so I guess this is supposed to be our character and our codename is Delta and that's not an m16 but you know whatever the these illustrations on the pages are not super exciting like there's not a whole lot of action and adventure on this on this first page there's just a guy standing around so let's see what happens to the guy standing around page 2 the cold night air hits you in the face what does breaker know about weather reports anyway 17 degrees may sound comfortable to him but he's not out here for four straight hours standing guard duty he's from Tennessee there's no way 17 degrees is comfortable to him you turn the corner by hangar to inside the flight mechanics are hard at work on one of the fighters they're busy attaching an armament to the underside of one of the newest trickiest fastest aircraft in the world today that's what this base is all about you shiver in the freezing cold air no one wants to be stationed on a windswept island 2000 miles from the nearest worthwhile town with raw weather and bad food no one that is except a pilot any pilot you have to chuckle chuckles no not chuckles you have to chuckle when you think that you and a few other guys on the GI Joe team actually pulled some strings to get a transfer to this forsaken place most people would say you were out of your minds to do it but then most people wouldn't couldn't even cut it in a simple single-engine airplane okay you on the other hand are at this base to learn how to make the US Air Force's most advanced planes advanced plane soar that's the new P for P 140 fighter that that's the airplane is the P 140 fighter turning away from the hangar you begin to control the apron of the runway your eyes are open but your mind is on last night's test flight page three and we have choices at the end of page three so get ready get ready to type get ready are you ready I don't think you're ready you know I'm looking out there across the internet I'm not I'm not I just I'm not seeing you ready so get your fingers limber like it get it yes do some stretches you don't want to pull a hammy page three you spend the next hour patrolling up and down the runway and thinking about how great the test flight in the P 140 was once again you execute a dress perfect bout face and start back up the strip over by the communications tower a side door opens and three members of the GI Joe team step out heading your way it's too dark to see clearly who they are your watch shows almost 1800 hours breaker gives good takeout service you can almost smell the coffee suddenly you sense that something is very wrong the three guys coming toward you break into a run then without warning they pull out their weapons and open fire on you they're not your teammates at all or they're very bad teammates that's not very friendly as you dive to the frozen ground for cover and roll through the roll through the bullets you have room for only one thought infiltrators infiltrators it's got to be Cobra who else would it be it's the only organization in the world that could possibly get through the tough GI Joe security system the tough GI Joe security system let me show you what that is this is the tough GI Joe security system is this one guy standing just standing out there that's that's the tough GI Joe security system hey hey maybe Falcon abandoned his post maybe that's what happened everybody think of that where's Falcon maybe that's how this happened it's hard to tell what's happening because it's night and you're flattened out on an airstrip but you raise your head just enough to see your enemies cut over to the apron where four P 140s are kept ready then another burst whistles over your head what should you do in a situation like this okay here are the choices here are the choices you ready you ready you're supposed to be guarding this installation turn to page 18 and get those Cobra agents or don't be a fool lay low keep your head down and turn to page 72 so if you want to get those Cobra agents type 18 in the live chat if you want to just keep your head down that's 72 72 so I'll type 18 to get those Cobra agents 72 to keep your head down so go ahead let's see what we do let's see we've got we've got some 18s do your job it's a good motto lots of 18 like what lots of you guys are just like very much into your duty except for RTD one he's like I'm not getting shot for this RTD ones like no no man they don't pay me enough for this we we got some 72s here lots of 18s though lots of 18s I think I think it would take quite a few 72s to overcome that many 18s but I give you guys a few more seconds give you a little I know there's some lag for some of you guys so I'll I'll just hang out you know I'll give you a few more seconds to type your choices a video behind the scenes of my lab at my laboratory my laboratory this is this actually is behind the scenes of the laboratory yeah I hope burnout isn't on the job man if we know what burnout's choice would be he's out you know he's not just keeping his head down he he's booking he's you know he's probably back at the base already in fact like he's probably not out there in the first place thank you Vincent thank you very much so I think I think 18 has won okay so I let's let's turn to page 18 see what happens see if we die immediately usually we don't die immediately page 18 here we go I'm seeing some of the illustrations I hope some of that's in the book 18 your flat on the airstrip pavement the bullets of the Cobra infiltrators explode all around you but you won't be still for long if anybody starts shooting up the airbase when you're on duty they better be ready to catch a little heat for a moment the firing stops now's the time jumping to your feet you scramble ahead for 20 yards then roll back onto the ground everything is quiet so they didn't seem to notice you do it again getting closer still now you can see what they're up to they're going to steal one of the fighters lining up the sights of your m16 rifle you squeeze off a burst of bullets just over their heads while you're shooting over their heads shoot them or yeah you should over their heads yeah they dive behind the landing gear and you fire another round of shots well you should have shot on the first time a second later they answer back there's no mistaking the sound of a rifle launched grenade just before it hits you realize you're about to become the most beautiful fireworks the illusion islands have ever seen you should have kept your head down instead of playing a foolhardy hero well nothing like going out with a bang we died we died you know what was that other page 72 that said that I think that my my my first selection here was well it was unscientific it was unscientific so yeah 70 like I said we're turning to page 72 the pavement of the airfield apron is icy cold beneath your body you're dying to get up and go after those cobra agents but there's not a lot of cover in the middle of an airstrip and right now your first priority is to stay in one piece every time you lift your nose those bandits open fire so you just keep your head down and wait for something to happen you have no idea what the cobra agents are trying to do the last time you saw them clearly they were climbing into one of the P 140s and that was 30 or 40 seconds ago suddenly the whining sound of two turbine jet engines fills up the night air you're going to steal they're going to steal that plane a moment later the P 140 fighter is zooming down the runway in a full throttle takeoff it roars into the air just above their head the blast from the jet engine sends you flying off the strip you're on your feet in an instant but the stolen P 140 is already climbing hard fast all at once it disappears into the clouds and is gone page 53 53 as you okay that is 50 oh yeah we have more choices we have more choices as you stand on the dark and airfield your ears are ringing from the jet takeoff but you don't have time to worry about that now cobra has infiltrated your base and stolen one of your top secret P 140 fighters you've got to do something and it better be smart and fast normal operational procedure would be to file a complete report with your commanding officer Hawk but that kind of thing takes time there are still three fighters parked on the apron ready to roll using one without orders is against regulations but it's your best chance of catching those cobra agents what do you do all right you ready you ready oh congratulations on getting off work extra luck and they gone how do you do thanks for being here nice to see you guys so here are the options if you decide to alert Hawk and do it by the book turn to page 26 if you decide to take a fighter now and explain later turn to page 40 so those are your options 26 to do a report or 40 to get in one of the fighters and go after them right a report 26 take a fighter 40 those are your options let's see what we got we got some 26's some people living by the book we got some 40's you know what happened last time we dared to do anything brave smart and fast well yeah that's I mean come on let's see that did it okay 26 26 that you know we're kind of even right now we're kind of even at the moment 40 it's it's it's still pretty even it's still pretty even it's it's I think 40 might be edging out but it's it's really close they gone said doesn't know how to fly a jet well too bad in G I Joe everybody flies the jets haven't you seen the cartoon the controls of the jet fighter is it's just a Nintendo controller that's it's not more complicated than that so I I think 40 has has barely one out that's real is a close one that was much closer that was much closer I'm gonna go with 40 I think that's it I think 40 has won but that was a close one that was a close one okay 40 regulations are no regulations you've got to stop those Cobra agents and recover the aircraft they stole so you just have to steal a plane of your own because two wrongs can make a right right so I read that already it takes you 35 seconds to reach the nearest P 140 fighter you check the fuel tanks the rocket pods and the rest of the aircraft there's no sign of sabotage you rip the protective cover off the engine then you climb up the side of the plane and drop into the cockpit you buckle yourself in and snap the electronics on the system checks shows that both engines are good so you rev up and you turn onto the runway the fighter races down the strip the vibrations inside the plane build as you increase your speed then you nose up at the plane leaps into the nighttime sky it's 1800 hours and 42 seconds your mission has begun page 10 thank you pangas I'm my day has could be better it's it's not been the best of days but I appreciate it thank you very much I hope you had a good day page where page 10 as the P 140 soars 27,000 feet you feel great there's nothing like being in the air and hot on the trail of your enemies you activate the aircraft's radar tracking device and get a fix on the stolen fighter it shows up as a fluorescent green blip on the radar screen that plane is going to be impossible to miss then switching to a security frequency you get on the radio Falcon based tower this is Delta fighter one do you read you know the breaker is still on duty so you wait patiently for his reply but it doesn't come once again you try to make contact Falcon based tower this is Delta fighter one you get it together down there suddenly a howling screech fills your earphones then it slowly fades away Delta fighter this is tower sorry for the interference but things are still a bit raw here our communications got crossed up and our radar is down what's your position I'm at 27 you begin but then you quickly nick off the radio infiltrators on base stolen planes communication blackouts and now someone wants your position that voice sure sounded like breaker but you aren't certain you better be careful page 60 you're flying to yeah okay yeah you're flying 27,000 feet off the ground yet you suspect a possible sabotage by someone who's still down there on the GI Joe base you have to outsmart them Falcon tower you say on the into the radio this is Delta fighter things have been happening pretty fast around here but I want to get all of our details down in a full report over go ahead Delta we're listening you adjust a few dials on the aircrafts control panel well let's do important things first I want to be on the record that breaker owes me $12 from last week and no matter what happens to me forget it good buddy a voice snaps over the radio it's 850 and not a dime more and if you try to jack up jack it up any higher you're gonna find a crease in your fuselage that will severely affect your performance over that's a that's a snappy comeback isn't it breaker you say with a big smile it's a comfort and pleasure to talk to you but I had to be sure that it was really you in control of the tower here's my report page 35 hope we get another choice soon hope we get our past page I did say 35 right yes 35 okay I we get it we get a choice at the bottom of this we get a choice no no peeking no peeking and that there's another there's another amazing illustration I said the artist who illustrated these I think was instructed to use as few lines as possible but lots of shading you quickly check the P 140 controls then you give breaker the fact over the radio at 40 at 7 at 1742 hours three unidentified personnel open fire on me a midway down runway to they bomb boarded a whoo wow they boarded a P 140 and took on took off in a head in a heading took off in it heading north wow I can't I've lost the ability to read I'm tracking them on radars on on the radar screen I'm going to stick with them but I'll need some backup support no problem Delta will put a together a team and have them in the air in five minutes tower out the radio goes quiet you're alone in the pitch black sky at 27,000 feet on a course that will take you straight over the top of the world you watch the bandits P 140 on the radar screen it's below you at 22,000 feet flying smooth and easy suddenly it banks hard to the left and goes into a full power dive heading right into the ground it looks like the pilot's making a run for it what are you going to do your full first impulse is to stay on the bandits tail but it's dark and death tonight a darkest death tonight and the other pilots flying it like a maniac maybe you don't have to match his suicidal dive maybe you can track him and just just as well on the radar screen what's it gonna be okay here are your choices here are your options if you hang with the bandit pull the nose of your plane or point the nose of your plane earthward and dive turn we were gonna go to page 56 56 56 if you keep your nose up figuring that as long as the blip is on the radar screen there's no problem page 21 so we 56 if we nose dive it or 21 if we just keep him on the radar screen so 56 that's 56 if you want to to dive with the enemy fighter or 21 if you want to keep him on the radar wow lots of 21s right off the bat I you know if if he's gonna drive his his airplane directly into the ground maybe we should just let him problem solved lots of 21s lots of 21s at least your family get life insurance yeah see there you go see that's a good attitude that's a that's a good attitude to have a lots of 21s though I 56 would have to have to have quite a few here in the next few seconds or so to catch up with 21 lots lots of 21s more 21s all right so I think 21 is has won I'll give you a few more seconds a few more seconds and anybody else going once going twice I'm doing it I'm I'm about to turn at the page 21 it's it's happening right now and in one two two and a half and there we go 21 21 wins 21 wins here we go you decide against the kamikaze crash keeping your aircraft flying smoothly and your gaze glued to the radar screen you stay cool figuring that there's no place for a Cobra agent in the stolen p 140 to go so there's no reason to get excited even if he starts weaving in between the islands and the icebergs to confuse the radar you'll have to come out sooner or later then he'll show up on the screen again you lean back and wait for the enemy pilot still diving toward the earth to make his to make his move just before he's about to crash he pulls the nose of the plane up ex expertly then he begins a looping flight pattern in and out of the islands you have to admit he's a great pilot especially for night flying but the radar keeps closed tabs on him though every now and then he slips off the screen for a few seconds during one of those momentary lapses in radar a blip shows up on the screen about 30 miles behind you but you're sure it couldn't be the enemy plane there's no way it could have gotten that far behind you so quickly chances are it's Falcon base it's the Falcon base backup team coming to help you you switch your speed down to Mach 0.6 and wait for your buddies to catch up to you but as the plane pulls up behind you it fires a heat-seeking missile you just assumed it was your backup team and now you're in big trouble page 30 page 30 and and unfortunately there that there is not a an option at page 30 but here we go page 30 you have only seconds before that heat-seeking missile finds you and and fries you there's just one thing to do you bank your plane hard to the right making a quick tight curve in no time you're behind the other aircraft and the missile is right behind you it's closing fast this plan better work otherwise you're going to be just a bunch of airborne debris very soon suddenly you cut your altitude all at once you're a few hundred feet below your enemy but the missile hasn't changed its course now it has locked onto the heat of the stolen P 140 not you in just a few seconds the missile catches up with the stolen aircraft your enemy goes up in a massive fireball well you didn't recapture the stolen plane nor did you find out where it was heading but at least you made sure Cobra never sank its fangs into the top secret P 140 your only real regret is that you didn't have marshmallows on hand in your aircraft that plane sure made one giant bonfire the end the end we actually won we actually won we we survived not dying okay we did we did die once but you know everybody's entitled to die once right I'm pretty sure that's how death works right you die once and then you pop back you get one do over one do over so so congratulations and it's great timing because by my clock it is eight o'clock local time so it's the end of the show hello Andrew Andrew I didn't see you come in how do you do hope you're doing well and beach 76 I also didn't see you come in hello to everyone that I
