welcome everybody to the crave cast once again I'm your host Eric Mack and I've live for my delightful little hobbit hole here in New Mexico and joining me just a little further south is craves Amanda Kooser and also live in the scene at studios in San Francisco the rest of the crew is Kelsey Adams Bonnie Burton Jeff Sparkman and behind the controls Stephen Bilbo Beecham I have made the hobbit references and adorned myself with the fro circa Eric Mack 1994 because it is Hobbit day ladies and gentlemen September 20 seconds is the reputed birthday of both bilbo and frodo baggins so i have donned the fro in order of Frodo hahaha and also today we're going to talk a little bit about some things from a world maybe a little bit more like Middle Earth and then later on we'll get back into the swing of things and of course because we can't help ourselves we'll talk about star wars and the hype around star wars and we'll see what we can do to hype the hype and also stay tuned because going to have a very interesting discussion about sex robots no that'll keep a lot of yes we are around if nothing else and because it seemed appropriate I I have a robot here to chime in on the discussion we've got we've got the Amazon echo this is Alexa oh my gosh a little bit for you I'm pretty sure you can make any robot a sex robot so just be careful about I have a really contentious relationship with my echo but I would never have sex important no fortunately we do not have an infographic for that but yeah alexis is gonna provide some comic relief so Alexa can you tell us a joke Alexa typical gosh she's always like that you're ignored just like a loser camembert Wow shut up shut up all right Oh excellent we're just liked it does it say that I do not provide jokes for that thing yeah that's horrible joke you're a cup with her amazon humor ladies um we should also point out that Kelsey brought doughnuts so we can have elevenses since its Hobbit day so we're eating you can't have hobbit day without food uh-oh delicious what the speaking about the day do we have any of the audio Stephen of talking reading reading the hobbit uh keep talking and I will get that is that keep talking it's in it's in the Google dolly bow bilkins song from either Shatner or Bach because i think it's copy written and we'll get in trouble oh really well if it's on soundcloud it's good right so here it is ya think we should be fine no oh my god you're so not a lawyer on Sound Cloud it's fine as long as already been booked a stolen okay right away then who's talking okay that's hear him deep down here by the dark water live gold gold I don't know where he came from know who or what he was he was gullible as dark as darkness Shepherd ooh big round pale eyes get a boot he wrote about quite quietly on the lake a lake igual y in deep and deadly cold he paddled it with large feet dangling over the side that never were too little eight not he he was looking out of his pale lamp like eyes for blind fish if he could have with his long fingers as quick as thinking he liked me too cobbling thought good and he could get it but he took care i never found him out he just rattled him from behind if ever they came down alone anywhere near the edge of the water while he was prowling about a very seldom did for they had a feeling that something unpleasant was lurking down there darlin the roots to the mountain that Carl the lake when they were tunneling down long ago and they found they could go no further see kids thanks right before tea i'm gonna say he's really good i would say we had just segue from sexbot so it still sounded like weird erotica to me so let's face it it was always going to it was always going to I don't know I have this problem that if I kind of tuned out when someone's talking I just pretend it's erotica that they're saying and so it's not a crime has that a problem no it's a problem when you do the opposite when you're like in a meeting and then you're just pretending I know now when I would drive his test yeah there's I I know every time Tolkien talks it just sounds like the drunk uncle from Thanksgiving that's talking about eating so I just he was describing a hobbit sexing right yeah I mean there is hobbit erotica I'm not going to go there but you can google it and you're welcome well I'm serious Bonnie if you can put that kind of creepy habit to the test with this next story our first guy why yes I can this is not a big challenge for me so yes so Amanda you had our first own middle earth or medieval themed story there was a skeleton right odd place and you covered it yeah this is a comes out of ireland there was a very old beech tree about 215 years old that got knocked down in a pretty major storm so we're talking about a very large tree not too unusual except that inside the roots of it they found a skeleton or we'll have a skeleton because the other half was in the ground yeah that one in half when the chief dinner so they called it essentially an archaeological CSI unit to come in and find out you know where the skeleton came from because you have a 20 year old tree on top of it right so that what they discovered was it was a young man no more than 20 years old knife wounds to the ribs to the hands and that have dated from the early medieval period so we got a very fascinating thing is kind of copy the internets interest because well probably mainly cuz the weird way it was found it's also an interesting historical artifact of course I love that there's an archaeological CSI why is that not a show I know cyber CSI is pretty silly but I would watch archaeology CSI once to the hands there's a defensive way that's right yeah defensive wounds it's not like he had did he have a blow to that this is a skull was there like yeah us all about the ribs and the hands but they said it's a man so that's defensive wounds you're right way to use your CSI end well little lingo lingo I know why they don't have a show of it how do we know the change was already taken uh how do we know the tree didn't kill him what tiny adultery knives I don't know tree is younger than good I'm just gonna say you call that an alibi we can break that I'm just gonna say I've been watching a lot of evil dead and you don't reach add the tree and in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings also evil trees there's also evil trees and Lord the red maple trees is the actual theme of it I think this is it and I think this is an int murder and I think that also could be a show yes I ain't ya like it and see like trees that kill trees who kill that's a lifetime show the women who live and the women who love them yes if you if you were murdered I guess by trees i guess that be what like slow motion stabbing by sapling I don't know the roots yeah well we will leave that right there oh sorry ooh hey Amanda I was doing some research on this actually after you wrote the story and it's it's pretty common to find medieval skeletons underneath things like parking lots and stuff I was actually pretty shocked I was like wow it happens all the time i Richard the third so it's pretty yeah Richard the third was found in a parking lot or something that's what happens we have said we're such a young country no we all we find her like arrowheads and Indian burial grounds under suburbia and like we don't really get that pretty excited to go back a couple hundred years yeah i mean like any time we see anything like medieval stuff we instantly think King Arthur or demons I always Oh think Hellmouth but that's just the Buffy in me but uh I always love hearing these types of stories I just hope that more trees you know give up the corpse yeah come on over there screams people knock over the pave the earth calm I want to see like more stories like this because I think this gets the interest of the next generation of archaeologists because they realize oh there's stuff in my own backyard or oh there's things I can find now I just it'll just be interesting to see as more and more towns get gentrified and more more construction happens and maybe more ears areas they'll find work jumpstart those bones jump-starts those bones I loved this story I thought it was great I I like anything where it's all of a sudden you find the medieval corpse in the most unexpected places which is another show that could happen well we don't have more medieval corpses Bonnie but we do have medieval ceremonial grounds or maybe I don't know maybe actually this is an example of medieval gentrification actually because around the same time the skeleton was found I wrote about a the bigger brother of Stonehenge which was actually discovered just about a mile and a half from the actual stone engine of the huge rocks there is actually a second one that has like even more it's like a line of huge stones that they found using ground-penetrating radar and other high-tech stuff there's basically there's the video of it that's pretty cool this is a digital 3d animation but you can see there there's a big line of huge boulders and now this is showing what it would have looked like maybe a thousand years ago or so before these boulders were actually buried but most of them are still under there so again this is just about a mile and a half from Stonehenge and it's actually even bigger than stone but they're just in a row so how do we know they're just not funds posts like medieval fence posts well they're huge I mean some of these are like 12 feet tall and then they were apparently somehow like placed and knocked over to kind of form the barrier of what was probably like a ceremony ground and they said that like at the time in the Middle Ages this may have been one of the largest settlements in Western Europe wow so pretty interesting stuff I mean you think like you have something you know stone in just one of the more amazing medieval monuments but actually the big thing was just buried right next well it's also it's interesting to so many conspiracy theorists think that Stonehenge is either either has an ancient alien aspect to it or as some sort of Merlin esque uh you know witchy magic I I saw Halloween three and all I mean Merlin approaches the Stonehenge thing and Stonehenge is used in so much like sci-fi and and fantasy that'd be interesting to see now that this has been discovered if more authors try to incorporate like a made-up history of they were stargates so stargates yeah no I love this stuff because it means we're going to get more interesting fiction so I know there's King that's a good and another ancient alien series maybe I'll actually know celestia Michelle star um reported on this it said they've actually found 17 previously unknown monuments in this area so they vow once once they get down to it we could be funny I want that land does that government land or is it some really lucky farmer that's gonna make a ton of money like I'm just curious is it considered Stonehenge considered like one of those definitely it's already part of the National Park is it okay i sent it one of the seven wonders of the world to is it we're shipping out on that i don't think it's just 71 does remain but it's like yeah well my Gardens of Babylon is all I can ever remember yeah but uh but um Eric come on how glasses it roads do you know how the how they though these stones were buried was it just over time they just were buried or did someone actually bury was it a wizard itself it sounds like they were buried on purpose as like kind of like a barrier or like the side of this kind of encampment like a hinge is actually a word for this kind of like ancient um like like settlement area or ceremonial area like this it's actually a like medieval architectural thing so it sounds like it was it was buried on purpose maybe they were getting attacked by those worm things from trimmers maybe can you so are they gonna let the public visit this cuz I know now because there's someone thought they locked it down well Stonehenge is locked down because of graffiti and people were chipping away at the rocks to steal it for like probably Americans stealing in a way for like you know their own little curio cabinet source on ebay I don't know so it was getting to the point where whoever is in charge of the tourist asked tourism aspect of Stonehenge it's now closed off to the public so you can't go up in like join the rocks and pretend you're like out outlands Outlander back when my mom went to Stonehenge you could just walk up in touch it yeah fence there's no organization yeah but now with so many people ruined it so you can't get up for the hole so if you can't get up to it and like you know get up close and personal with a hinge can you do it with this new one that picked up I guess which they probably wouldn't oh I thought this was already David it's still that's gonna giant stone yeah well that ruins the story I thought it was already up and you could like 90 right on any stone giant ones okay nevermind I clearly wasn't paying attention to the story why did I know what your mind was on but I know sorry porn right 90 giant hello you know let's just dig deep into your also tons of rock is just a rock you know I don't always think they guys I see right well you wrote something I think yesterday it was yes hey Bonnie yes um talking about sex robots so alright so so last weekend or are you I think I don't like friday uh there was something called campaign against robots are camping against sex robots I remember that the campaign title i think it was campaigning against sex robots and it's it was a psychologist that was our sociologist or I think she was called a robot anthropologist which I don't even think you could be one but I don't want to be one now that's another TV show right like these Cena articles and I see these titles that people just make up for themselves it's kind of like remember when everyone was a web ninja when the internet started that's like--that's that doesn't make sense like ninjas would never sit by a computer and like type HTML all day so that's where you wouldn't think to look so I don't know what a robot anthropologist is but the sociology or whatever a person decided to publish a paper warning humans that if we have sex robots we're going to objectify humans and love relationships not all I kept thinking is where have you been since Adam and Eve BR says we're going to objectively in objecting objectifying hmmm I mean that's all of advertising made up everything that's why I'm here really I mean half the Bible's like that like I mean it's not anything new but I guess people are worried that this will objectify women you know think of the women in the children it's always that argument never think of the second I think it's basically that she's saying that if people get used to thinking of sex is something I get from an object that I control and can abuse me like a vibrator that has been around forever let me special I think this is her argument then they'll extend that to thinking anything any person that I get sex from is also an object I don't abuse i think is the argument that's being made which was odd man pain against sex odd coming from a woman considering that you know there have been sex toys and sex and we have it not all of us name them so I I don't know and these sex robots that true companion is a company that's bringing them if they're kind of like a like real doll I think most people would know what that is which is the number one sex doll company for realistic expensive-looking dolls and we talked about those indie romance yeah we talked about this earlier that you could get them in celebrity forum and I think Margaret Thatcher was number one the true companion you can either oh don't go any further I know is there's a bunch of lawyers just went yeah don't do that don't click on anything called video but there's Roxy's seven thousand dollars yeah so it's Roxy rocky butts forever I mean if you if you actually pinpoint how much you spend on a real human that's pretty chi that's getting off cheap literally how would you even collect on that warranty though would you have to mail it back I I don't know like I can't warn I kept thinking of the Black Mirror episode with what sort hey David Cameron no no not the pig not a pig not the pig one it's the one with um agent Carter hey what's her name Haley not move Hayley Atwell and uh the oldest Weasley brother dragon guy Dominic who's gonna be in a Star Wars movie yeah um he plays a robot companion that looks like her late husband and to help her get over his death but and in the end you realize she's just enabling okay so true companion and said it's not just for sexist for lonely people's for people who want a companion and there's been movies made about people who fall in love with the robot companions or use that's the guise of guys most right or use their robot companions to get them drugs like Anne Frank I mean there's what happened so I my whole pitch with this whole article this whole commentary was that I'm not worried about humans objectifying other humans because of this because that's we already do that I'm worried about robot abuse so it's like the Spielberg movie AI which there are sex robots in that as well and they do have sex robot fight it's like the robots against row it's the gladiator scene with the robots in the poor little teddy bear Robot like all I kept thinking is just let the robot be like I did you know they were just there to love us and now we're abusing them because they're machines and they don't have any rights and exactly what Steven Spielberg was trying to do and that's exactly what he was trying to but there's so many science fiction writers out there and films out there about these types of robots and I tried to show off cherry teeth oh well that's Austin Powers so yeah we all know how that ended up and that's just basically never trust a fembot because they're gonna kill you yeah well there are two maybe two basic types there's the type that's sort of a victim where we worried for their personhood yeah and then there's the type that is a threat for maybe we also root for them I don't know I think Austin kind of he deserved threat he deserved that I mean that Austin's the threat and this yeah look at that that's threatening no threatening and all that hair that would they call that when the hair goes all the way down that's just not good happy trail happy trail no stop stop showing him I want to want to hit him you want cherry cherry 2000 is the movie that I referenced quite a bit in the article because one it's a great movie if you haven't seen it's on netflix it's on are you watch are we gonna watch a little movie this is not the trailer I don't know how long ago it was right here's the thing meg ryan's in it with the original meg Ryan face are not meg Ryan I'm sorry what sorry Melanie Griffith with originally Melanie Griffith face but the cool thing about cherry 2000-2002 years away so that's this is this is the sexbot straight two thousand they don't have cover look how great should look at it everyone wants that right and but the problem is she malfunctions in the bathtub because you really shouldn't get your sex pot in a mat and a bathtub hello what I'm just picturing Leslie our editor right now going to why you showing this don't show you some robot it's not so there she goes robot robot robot so he has to go get her fixed but because it's a model that's an old model kind of like some of us who still have our iphone 4 mm-hmm he has to go and find her parts in the middle of nowhere and that's where he meets Melanie Griffith who's like this you know renegade it's pure its pre mad max but kind of close to Mad Max so you have to go in mad maxvill to find her parts get her fixed fall in love with her all over again but as we know when rom-coms he's going to fall in love with a human because that's how that goes sorry just spoiler but you should watch the movie because it's got some really good references also um humans which is a new TV show that we've talked about on scene that I didn't even think to put that in the article but that's also something to think about with human helpers and how much they're going to help us in everything wink wink nudge nudge and then I was also a referencing blade runner in the article because we're getting a new blade runner movie so be interesting to see if they talk about sex bots but of course there is a sex pot and Blade Runner there and Priss who's actually a deadly sexpot so again these are BOTS that don't need my sympathy they probably can fight their own battles but I am worried about the future which isn't too far away of us having robots in their homes as part of her family like wall-e and we shouldn't abuse them yes I want I know why did you say walling I'm thinking Wally erotica he just ruined that's exactly uh so anyway so my article wasn't necessarily about hey humans were degrading into a scary race of sex depraved people that will screw anything with an outlet that's not what I was trying to go for the pole point we never said we objected to that yeah I'm just saying the whole point today the whole point of my commentary was eventually we're probably going to have to deal with robot rights if they are looking more and more like us they have AI so they can think for themselves and that's what these true companion robots I have a now so they're programmed to have conversations with you now whether or not they can debate the GOP debate with you or talk about stocks or whatever but they can't I don't know if they're gonna like the Barbie the new Barbie robot yeah oh my god is crazy a life-size Barbie that can talk but it's supposed to have conversations with you and you can have and you can even ask for it to be argumentative or you can ask for it to be really docile and agree with everything you say so I know this sounds really scary but that is the future and not something we could think about and so anyway so my column was well yeah this is something way to think about but keep in mind eventually we are going to be voting on whether robots can marry robots which I did an article on cnet not long ago and we're gonna have to think about well what does what kind of rights should robots have if they have AI and can think for themselves and feel and have emotions and all this stuff so it'll be very interesting in the future I don't think we're quite there yet right now we're just having sex with them let's let's test it out why don't we test it out live right now and see were right um what are we testing do you find me attractive I didn't find that in your past orders you forgot to tell her to tell you you're awesome that's what 10 again Alexa do you find me attractive beauty is in the eye of the beach I so I could behold yours she flirt advances learning with you was expecting yeah that almost sounded like it was gonna go into you have a nice personality I'm probably too mean to mine that's why she doesn't talk like that to me yeah I tried when Sri first came on board I I tried to flirt with Sri and it was she wasn't having it she kept giving me directions to like some like weird massage parlor so here's the thing I haven't looked at the comments of this article so if any of you are looking at this article went up yesterday and it would no please don't don't worry about louder 6 comments really there's only six no there were 16 last time oh no you're not looking at the right cut you know I'm on your story here ya know there's 50 no layout is different you have to show comments and then it shows maybe top six and then I'll go are you in the right article yeah I don't believe you there's no no I'm sorry I'm on the visit and visibility called you my bad that's a different except that's a different exists by anyway it's an interesting concept i probably will be talking about this more often I don't know I it was I just wanted to talk about because i'm just so tired of humans telling other humans that were going to be more depraved because we fall in love with machines i don't think that's we already are in love with machinery I married aren't you dt I'm perfectly fine well I've heard stories about that yeah well we have an open source marriage oh well so you can see other droids I can see other people works out great but no I I just thank you for bringing that up i'm glad i could ruin our crave cast talking about robot sex well I I plan to continue the discussion a little bit in the next crave cast well actually I interviewed the transhuman transhumanist party candidate for president I'll zoltan East Vaughn that's a great name it is a good name and and he's a good-looking guy too so but anyway we're working on that that'll be ready for the next crave case and the the article in the interview will be up in the next couple of days on Cena so try to spy oh I found him I felt I will say though if you Soltan handsome he looks like a young Putin with hair I don't I don't I don't know I wanted him to look quite a little wackier he lives in millville you're like Swiper fine tinder uh tender candidate um yeah oh I did want to if we are gonna segue at some point into Star Wars i will say there is a pleasure bot in star wars in the prequels and she's nicknamed Betty bot she was designed after Betty Page because George Lucas is a Betty Page fan and she's called Betty bot and she's in the prequels so you will have to watch it but she's in revenge of the sith so she's in the most tolerable of all the priests and it's in the opera scene which we always called squid lake uh yeah because there's opera and there's there was supposed to be a whole you're supposed to be able to see it of like in fifth element bomber singer was weird that was great yeah was supposed to be like that but I guess we ran out of money I don't know did I say we like my last names lucasfilm um yeah dancers in course she's in CLE she also did she become available on for Friday Oh everything else did but I i if you look at bb-8 as a sex robot I can't help you I'm sorry I'm sure that's right since I dated r2d2 but I'm just saying look sorry let's go to let's go to Amanda and Amanda tell us about some of the the Star Wars merchandise you've seen already lately cuz I was that I was at a kid's birthday parties kind of why we're having this discussion over the weekend and the birthday party was like nothing but Star Wars Episode 7 merchandise I mean it was it's all it's all out there Bonnie you've covered it too yeah yeah i did a force friday gallery which I'd like the best up but there's so much stuff that there's I know Amanda's covering a lot of stuff I definitely forgot but there was so many Lego kits so many has broke its and then of course if you go on seen it and do a search for BB dash 8 you'll see all the sparrow videos we did we not only unboxed Sparrow played was Pharaoh we dissected Sparrow so you could see what his innards look like I mean Porsche Bureau it's like he went through like the scariest of science experiments because of seeds so he's all over the place that I would say Sparrow was probably the number one toy that was talked about during fourth friday because everybody wanted one as tiny i did a story about it with Vanity Fair from Vanity Fair they had dogs chasing it and the video looked like suero was huge but then I found out the dogs were all tiny so that's why first respects all pup force force perspective nice even sure and then Amanda you did an awesome gallery of weird Star Wars stuff and the BB pillow too yeah yeah there's a thinkgeek is having pre-orders for a full size of bb-8 you know um plush so essentially you know it's a big the head doesn't move it doesn't roll but it's giant and squishy and so i guess if you wanted to hug a droid that's probably your best way to do it most comfortable to do it there's some other interesting little products out there there's Falcon toys who kind of makes like remixed sci-fi toys came out with a super limited edition sorry it's sold out a poptart that it's actually made out of vinyl but it has a Han Solo frozen in carbonite on the frosted front of it see I think that should be a real sandwich iron I don't see any real jb it they make stuff like that in japan all the time yeah the only problem is I don't think Lucas film has their poptart license anymore or else that could be a thing but vinyl toys I don't know if that was licensed though I feel like it was enough ya know and it was not marketed as a poptart aura the Star Wars thing but it's it's Han Solo frozen Anna on what looks like a pop tart it was a vinyl toy which vinyl toy collectors are huge so they they probably I mean the carbonite I would think Han and carbonates them one thing that gets done over and over and over I just the blazing on target I did the article on the if you pre-ordered star wars battlefront from walmart and you paid sixty dollars extra you got the mini-fridge of Han and Carbonite mini fridge uh what I thought was pretty means I'm free but I mean we've done hon and Carbonite desk tables we've done hon and Carbonite everything really drugs i mean think geeks great if you just do han in carbonite you probably find everything you could ever want for your home in carbonite what's funny is instead a sector like the not a sexpot now the MMO they act like freezing people in carbonite it's just a normal way of transporting the office if you actually watched the movies it was this thing they improvised on the spot they weren't sure it was going to work and everything well the weird thing is is that in the clone wars cartoon they do it again they do it not with hamsa completely different they know they can't they do it as an experimental thing and then eventually vader gets his hands on one and I feel like he's kind of like the beta tester for the Carbonite the freezing chamber and then after that I wonder if in the new movie since its many many many years after if that will be that you have a better technology I feel like that's the uber of Star Wars is carbonite like maybe they just got back or fedex carbon x I feel like that's like everybody gets carp karbonn not carbonated that's different but carbonated yeah but there was something great my favorite thing from your gallery amanda was was the Chewbacca Crocs oh yeah share those pairs that's like two of the worst things to have your feet hurry and Crocs it's like I'm just looking at that thinking of how much cream you're gonna have to buy for your athletes foot and how bad they smell they must smell like a wet wookie after a while so I think um Chewbacca Crocs almost makes a point for me which is is this amazes too much high but it feels like this is way more oh we need more I think I think it's too much this is too much I already know so much about the movie too i don't want to know anything about the movie this is a way to her it's been a bigger lead up to this one then of than even a basso Duan right oh okay so i could tell you right now a Phantom Menace was badly the number one marketing don't witches do not make a zillion Jar Jar toys until you find out people like Jar Jar and it was it's interesting because those of us that grew up with Star Wars I remember getting the Star Wars toys before Empire Strikes Back so I got the boba fett toy and I thought he was gonna be a major character with all these lines and I was like I called him Nigel a night like gave him all this like I made up this huge backstory for but then when I finally saw the movie he is like what three lines we barely see him he actually says more in the star wars cartoon that was in the store all day special that he does in the movies and it was just like wow so it was an opposite with jar jar where they meet everything from vibrating tooth brushes which is also pretty disturbing if you really look at it they had stole much to charge our merchandise before they realized wait a minute there might be a whole generation of people who hate Jar Jar where their jar openers for you add flow that would have been great we almost did that for Star Wars shop where it was their large our ears for the open did they have cookie jar jar's though I mean like I felt no really but the only thing I didn't do that every do anything on his name as a pun but everything else and with this I feel like we're teetering close to that over marketing but you have to remember this is Disney so Disney Lucasfilm now and if you know anything about Disney you know they market the crap out of their movies and there's toys and toys and toys and toys of just one movie so of course they're gonna go completely whole Hut as it were and just completely go overboard and do all the toys I just but I'm with you Steven like if you're trying to stay somewhat spoiler free don't look at any of the toys because they're gonna give away names and the vehicles and the planets even the battle names they've already revealed in the LEGO sets so you're like wait a minute what master obsession said the death of or the battle of you're like holy crap what's happening so getting off the point if you want to stay spoiler-free stay away get out of toy stores and don't be online ever again until January so you did that huge round up for force Friday did you have any favorites from then I I'll of so i got the spiro robot that was 150 bucks uh I wanted to see if my dog go chase it and she sniffed it a couple of times and then slept with it she actually put it in her mouth brought it over to her dog bed dropped it into her dog bed and slept with it so I'm gonna do a video for cnet of my dog sleeping which is where oh it's just gonna be sleeping the sparrow that's all in it periscope yeah um but I really liked the RC toys the remote-control drones and I think because we I mean we had done so many remote control Star Wars toy articles of people that just DIY their own yeah but now you can get them so you can get a millennium falcon that you can fly around like a drone and that's for sale now but I personally love think geek stuff because it's home decor it's tough for your home so I'm getting the Millennium Falcon dinner tray and the bento box that's the bento box are you doing to you this is cool to see how cool is that and you could like imprint the Death Star into your sandwiches and I mean they've already have a lot of r2d2 stuff from Japan like soy sauce containers and thanks this is priya may she did a bento roundup last year I'll cool that you can make you a little yeah and there's the Duster play yeah bologna sandwich Death Star I mean come on there's an exhaust port Jokers I know I know I just I I'm gonna make dust our grilled cheese sandwiches like crazy like I mean they should never have a stormtrooper doing a cooking show though you can't see anything it's like the heavy metal cooking show to have on YouTube I know how's he seeing anything I mean they can't even hit up yeah he's got better aim there I know they can't hit the broad side of a dust our little make a sandwich but whatever Amanda what do you think is this all too much oh yeah but I love it opinion but I bring it on have you gotten any stomach what have you what have you gotten so far Amanda I'm curious what you buy if you were gonna buy stuff well I haven't actually bought anything yet partly it's it has been an overload like where do you start I am a fan of home decor items but I mean we're gonna have to see here and we're still we're still kind of far away from the movie coming out and we got a couple months here yeah so I'm kind of I'm kind of holding out I'm like waiting for that thing that just totally jumps out a wild me Jen sure will happen at some point I feel like the closer we get to Christmas and Hanukkah the more we're gonna see like even crazier stuff to buy and to have for presents and I think it's a great time to be a geek but it's a great time to be a geek with a disposable income because this is that would be nice there were a lot of people online and in our comments talking about forced friday how they're gonna have to open another credit line because there's just so many and lego is not cheap those lego sets are not cheap and hasbro adds up its twenty dollars in action figure and i know i have to buy two sparrows cuz my sons are gonna yeah it's like I feel bad I want to blow I feel bad for parents cuz when we were kids such things were cheap and now there really is that not yes my parents yeah what am I made of money polio I I'm excited and played with stick I think it's a game time to be a star wars fan and a Star Wars collector and a Star Wars kid like I think all those three it they intersect to how much stuff can you cram into your house from toys r us or wherever you buy your toys uh I don't know I don't even it's funny i buy everything online now so I haven't even inside of a toy store in fryer I almost have gone into toys r us a couple of times yeah I'm like new but I heard that both target toys r us walmart all the places that have really great star wars selection and just just stores in general that have all these things that for force friday they did the midnight you stood in line with all the people at midnight and then they open the doors and everyone brushed by everything and that was that's the one thing Star Wars fans do really well is wait in line and make friends and so I just the people brought their tauntaun sleeping bags to sleep outside of toys r us and I love that so it's just it's a fun precursor to what we're gonna get standing in line in these movies and it's just a great way to bond with Star Wars fan so I I was super excited for first friday i spent way too much money on things i probably don't need I don't care you buy me i I didn't I tell me buy something I'll make you a vent I'll make you a duster bologna sandwich okay okay I think Hillary is that very cozy hey hey where you say well I don't know what Kelsey wanted to see what you can say healthy I'm just gonna say I think people you know we were all culturally a lot let down by the Phantom Menace I think people are optimistic again because it's JJ Abrams that's always gonna say yeah my theory is that the only reason we're tolerating this much hype is because it's a nice distraction from the only thing that's more overhype which is the presidential election how can we mix the two oh there's so many things I want to say that we shouldn't say I know celexa who are you voting for yeah ask Alexa who she's voting for her oh yeah okay I hope she says Darth Vader ask her ask her hmm Oh make a stance evasive so uh without the last few minutes that we have left we have requests to throw it open to a few other things that we're looking forward to that I haven't been paying much attention but the flash is coming back and also tonight Muppets hell yeah and by the way I am team Miss Piggy I I'm really pissed off that Kermit dumped her for a younger pig and I really want miss picky to get together with Nathan Fillion they've been hinting at it in the previews oh yeah and I know Nathan's got castle but I would really love nathan fillion to come on as a love interest for Miss Piggy on the Muppets no and I know Bill preity so I'm gonna bug him until he does it so if anything the nag factor should help that's my two cents okay that was an excellent too son your what else what it looks like the reasons I think your frog what's a Yakuza oh definitely piggy all the way yeah hey you know what she's probably better off without him yeah she'll say that too so what's up with the flash you guys who watch this I don't watch it starts on october fifth Jeff and I are both really excited Jeff yep uh yeah and this season they're bringing in a new Pig no I'm just like I basically get phone calls from my brother every other day dude you she would come into the flourish uh that's actually how he sounds uh and it's just like all the stuff from like the comic books and there is we're just kind of like having this recurring like holy crap they're actually gonna put that in a TV show um I'm just I'm really looking forward to it when's the spin-off from flash the legends of oh yeah yeah tomorrow so that starts in January hai capito and it's a it's a cross it's a spinoff from both the flash and arrow that combines characters from both the shows have been crossing over a lot and we were just talking about how great it is because a lot of shows when they do crossovers it just kind of a gimmick to make you watch but on the flash and arrow they actually really use it to cast um you know shine a light on the character development on both shows and contrast them and the characters actually learn stuff from each other and go back their own shows and do things differently it's pretty cool and when does arrows start up again oh yeah ask me something ahead looked oh I haven't been watching a refurb oh yeah I know they were shooting and then Minority Report happened last night right I think that day bude I'm so behind on my TV show so I and I'm I've cut the cord so i only do with netflix and online so I'm just trying to figure out one thing I'm mostly excited for Jessica Jones we've done a bunch yeah so hyped for that I've been reading the comic books to get ready I wrote a column for sfx magazine that's coming out in a couple of months about why I think squirrel girl deserves our own movie and the reason i bring up squirrel girl is because if you know in the comics and i don't know if they're going to do this with the jessica jones and the loop cage TV shows are both on Netflix but those two get together in the comics so hopefully they'll get together in the TV shows because when they get together in the comics they have a kid and squirrel girl is their nanny and so I really want Squirrel Girl to show up somehow somewhere in the jessica jones show so here should be on the seven ders october seven maybe yeah so we'll see I mean she was part of the Great Lakes Avengers which was my favorite Avengers group because their Midwest they had Deadpool someone always died and it was like the misfits that the Avengers the real Avengers wouldn't take and they even tried to shut down great lake Avengers because they used the name like there's like a copyright battle between the Avengers good was just so prissy but i really want there to be a squirrel girl movie so if you don't know anything that squirrel girl look her up on Wikipedia or wherever you look up stuff and she is somehow connected to jessica jones and look Kate as I understand it they're gonna do individual shows for Jessica Jones the cage and a couple others and then they're gonna do one big group show yeah of them yeah but there is gonna be some crossover on both and also there's gonna be crossover on daredevil because they've already said jessica jones and daredevil are gonna have crossover and other characters like rosario dawson is supposed to show up at all three shows so it'll be very interesting to see how they do cross over because like you say when arrow and flash do it you learn about each others shows and he doesn't care meaningful yet even though they're different styles of show everyone's kind of darker than the more like my family yeah flash is more like golly gee willikers but they got dark on flash in the last few episodes so we'll see i don't know i just love crossovers ever since magnum p.i and murder she wrote I'm all for crossovers so much to look forward to alright well we should probably leave it there we should probably get going before Bonnie's mind starts to drift and I start to sound like vodka ah before
