136. From Wales to Legions Con in New Jersey with Gwion and Megan · The Euro Legions Podcast

• 0:02
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
• 0:04
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 0:08
  It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
• 0:11
  fake hammer. Oh.
• 0:13
  A fake? Yeah.
• 0:14
  Whoa. As I say, Dick.
• 0:18
  Welcome to episode on 36 of the Allegiance Podcast.
• 0:22
  And this week being one week closer to Legions Con, the
• 0:26
  excitement levels are raising. Rich, you've decided to get sick
• 0:30
  in advance of Legions Con to get it out of your system.
• 0:32
  So. Yeah, it's not COVID
• 0:35
  unfortunately, because I would make me immune for legions con,
• 0:37
  but it's a nasty bug. So I've had a couple of days off
• 0:40
  to to get more and more excited about Legions con.
• 0:44
  I might not sound it to like so feeling rough but I am excited.
• 0:48
  Well shows how far we've cope. You actually hoping to get COVID
• 0:51
  That's. Just you mean it's ridiculous.
• 0:54
  The only year I haven't caught it in America is when I had it
• 0:57
  three weeks before a couple of years ago.
• 0:58
  So yeah. You're just trying to get away
• 1:01
  from the family, are you? They're stressing you out.
• 1:03
  I mean, it's not the end of the world.
• 1:04
  No, it's all right. I'm safe.
• 1:05
  But don't listen to this. I'm good.
• 1:08
  And Mal, you doing all right? Yeah, I'm all good, all good.
• 1:11
  Also getting excited but I'm at work and it's distracting from
• 1:17
  work that I I just don't want to be there.
• 1:21
  I want to be in in in the States and enjoying legions figures.
• 1:28
  The days go quicker when you're busy at work, I guess.
• 1:30
  This is true. This is true, yeah.
• 1:33
  And you're going a bit earlier than us.
• 1:34
  So that's also we're going to be extremely jealous, rich.
• 1:38
  At some stage we are like. Early network, yeah.
• 1:41
  Because Mal will already have done the worst part of the
• 1:44
  journey. All those potential, I finished
• 1:47
  two days of interviewing people, so I might just be happy just
• 1:49
  not to be doing that. Mal can do every likes.
• 1:55
  Well, eh, if you're watching on YouTube or on Spotify video,
• 1:59
  because we have that too, you may see two more people down in
• 2:04
  the corner there. We have GUI on and Megan all the
• 2:08
  way from Wales. And.
• 2:12
  They are first timers this year. Legions con we've been telling
• 2:15
  them go go go you're going to have a great time and they've
• 2:20
  finally decided on their own bat.
• 2:22
  I'm sure nothing to do with us. So how are you guys doing we're.
• 2:27
  Very well, thank you. We're really good.
• 2:29
  Yeah, we're also very, very excited.
• 2:31
  It's it's coming out quick. It felt like a really, really
• 2:34
  long way away. And then now it's just kind of
• 2:37
  it's very much in the the crosshairs now of, yeah, the
• 2:42
  impending excitement is building.
• 2:44
  Yeah, three weeks tomorrow. County more than I am so.
• 2:52
  Although I I met up with Mal during the during the middle of
• 2:55
  last week and got confused and put a post that were going only
• 2:57
  three weeks to go. So that's how excited I was.
• 2:59
  I got the weeks wrong. The day after you did it,
• 3:04
  because obviously there'd been a few drinks consumed time.
• 3:07
  Day afterwards, I looked at it, I was like, that's one three
• 3:13
  weeks, Rich. Yeah.
• 3:17
  That was only our second drink, but I'm going to blame that as a
• 3:19
  reason I couldn't tell time. And so you guys that we got you
• 3:27
  guys on this week to kind of talk about how the excitement of
• 3:31
  first time people Rich is going to give you loads of advice that
• 3:35
  you should ignore and it's. Probably best.
• 3:42
  And generally kind of just talk about, you know, your
• 3:46
  perspective on it and everything.
• 3:48
  So, you know, we had Anthony last week who was a veteran and
• 3:54
  you know, ourselves being kind of veterans at this stage.
• 3:56
  And although it always still feels kind of like a new thing,
• 4:00
  doesn't it, guys, if you really does.
• 4:04
  And this year we have our live show, Don't Forget it, just
• 4:06
  after G Con. So we're going to have some fun
• 4:10
  and surprises. I have some ideas for maybe
• 4:13
  giveaways and stuff as well to entice people and you know,
• 4:18
  things like that. And as it's just after G con
• 4:21
  people might be hungry. So I think we're going to have
• 4:23
  to maybe bribe people with some food or something, you know, so
• 4:26
  I'm going to work on that as well.
• 4:28
  Maybe get some some pizzas or something or you know, I'm sure
• 4:32
  this helpful local people that'll point me in the right
• 4:34
  direction. You know, we have a day or two
• 4:37
  to figure it out when we're there on the ground and we could
• 4:40
  promise pizza and get people in the door and then, you know,
• 4:42
  close the doors. They.
• 4:44
  Never arrived. And miles there two days early.
• 4:46
  So Malcolm saw this act. Oh.
• 4:49
  I. Will just be drunk longer.
• 4:59
  Yeah, Mel will be on his third hangover with the technical.
• 5:03
  I hope we're not in the same room and I hope we get in a
• 5:05
  brand new room when the when we all arrive, you know, mile down
• 5:10
  the corridors with us. We don't want a three day old.
• 5:18
  I'll check out in the morning, leave our bags and I'll be back
• 5:21
  later. I'll only be in the pub.
• 5:28
  Exactly, and I'm still busy painting and stuff, so trying to
• 5:34
  get to, I mean, everything I finished now I feel like I don't
• 5:38
  really need to do, but I'm just on a roll now so I'm going to
• 5:41
  keep going. That's kind of the way.
• 5:44
  Although I did get a couple of our skulls printed locally, so I
• 5:47
  want to paint for you then. So that's going to be fun.
• 5:51
  Got the pug, got the sharks. So see what colour should I do
• 5:58
  the sharks, which I mean colour you want.
• 6:00
  Thank you. You know.
• 6:04
  I would do I would do them a shark grey John just to show off
• 6:07
  what they can look like, like a normal shark rather than the
• 6:09
  bright colours like. To match then a thumb again for
• 6:12
  the in the fifth different way, yeah.
• 6:16
  And I don't get people too excited, but I've also finished
• 6:18
  the drawings that will go with each of the exclusive head
• 6:20
  sculpts that are sold. There is a Richard Jones Art
• 6:23
  exclusive drawing of the head sculpt to go with each sail.
• 6:26
  So don't don't people get too excited, but they're done now as
• 6:29
  well. And you have to take it.
• 6:32
  Are they all hand drawn or are they one hand drawn and then
• 6:35
  copies of that one original? Oh God yes, copies the original
• 6:40
  print. One rather than the rather than
• 6:43
  the original. One of them got carried away,
• 6:45
  the mask with the snakes coming out of the top.
• 6:48
  I'm saying about 3 hours to do that and it's awful so I'm not
• 6:51
  doing that again. You could trace it.
• 6:54
  You know, I could trace it. This is true.
• 6:56
  It's. Not really.
• 6:57
  It's not really, I don't know, copying if it's your own art, is
• 6:59
  it? No, it's just this is all
• 7:01
  genuine, you know, it's my card, it's my art, my signature and a
• 7:05
  numbered thing as well. Just what people want.
• 7:08
  I'm. Not I'm really impressed you're
• 7:10
  doing it on card to be honest, rather than like Prince of
• 7:12
  Paper. That's what I'd have done.
• 7:15
  No, this is a, this is a professional operation.
• 7:17
  Great. It's card, yeah.
• 7:20
  I'm shocked he's able to use the printer, which is another thing.
• 7:26
  Yeah, I'd laugh, but you're not wrong.
• 7:28
  We're printer is the the. Worst piece of technology in the
• 7:32
  world because it constantly goes wrong, I mean.
• 7:35
  We've got something else which I showed Queer Mega.
• 7:37
  I mentioned it to Queer Mega, actually, when I was up there
• 7:38
  with them. I'm amazing.
• 7:40
  Do the big reveal now. You can't see it, but I can talk
• 7:42
  about it. We will have a free Legions
• 7:46
  puzzle book our table to give away to people, which I've done
• 7:50
  so it'll be some of my art in there.
• 7:53
  So I was printing out the other day going right, OK, got to make
• 7:55
  sure it's you know, it's 2 pages on each bit of a four.
• 8:00
  So I'm going to make sure they all work together when you put
• 8:02
  them together as a book took me 3 goes, three goes, bro.
• 8:07
  I could get them the right way around.
• 8:08
  It was like the second time he was like nailed this sorted all
• 8:11
  out, yet no mistakes are made. The first time printed the game
• 8:13
  was like, oh for God's sakes. Ironically, the first challenge
• 8:18
  is putting it together. Yeah, I'm there now, don't
• 8:20
  worry, I've got it now. But yeah, three goes to get the
• 8:23
  pages the right way. Ridiculous.
• 8:27
  But yeah, just the one to make sure it all works fine.
• 8:31
  OK, so yes, I've then got to do the rest now so.
• 8:34
  Excellent. Cool.
• 8:37
  And well, there was a bit of news this week in Legion, so
• 8:40
  maybe we should hit that first before we go into, I mean.
• 8:43
  It's my drawings, yes, yes. Are these legions, these, uh,
• 8:50
  graveyard things? Is it, it's, it's a separate
• 8:53
  line really, isn't it? Yeah.
• 8:54
  They're not. Yeah, legions are they, they're
• 8:57
  they're something different, new.
• 9:01
  And I also noticed that the website has been kind of
• 9:04
  updated. There's more categories on it.
• 9:06
  At the top you've got Infinite Legions as its own category, now
• 9:09
  Gaming and Entertainment as its own category.
• 9:13
  You're not the computer game. It doesn't mention the computer
• 9:16
  game, no, I was trying not to say anything.
• 9:25
  So anyway, the graveyard. So we'll have a quick look at
• 9:31
  these and then we can talk about what we think of them or
• 9:33
  whatever. So zombies first up.
• 9:37
  I can't remember what order they were revealed but this is what
• 9:40
  is first up in our slides so. Yeah.
• 9:43
  And female here with purple hair she came with and then
• 9:49
  subsequently. So after the reveal when people
• 9:52
  were asking could they get a different hair colour, they
• 9:55
  decided to add the it's blue little hair, isn't it?
• 10:00
  This one in a kind of black and red, which goes with some of the
• 10:06
  like, goes with the skirt there, for example, and some of the
• 10:10
  other stuff you can get. So she comes that's it's
• 10:15
  basically what's the Ghost of Christmas Past, buddy with the
• 10:22
  blue lit head heads, some rats. Pretty cool.
• 10:28
  They came originally with the elephant.
• 10:33
  What's his name? Ganesha.
• 10:36
  Yeah, some hands and a kind of an arm.
• 10:41
  I is a random magician, I'm not going to lie.
• 10:44
  Zombies, you know, why not go? To eat something.
• 10:48
  The marrow. Oh yeah.
• 10:53
  So also on her T-shirt and the four horsemen, the T-shirts of
• 10:58
  these, it's a kind of a new design of it says 4 horsemen.
• 11:03
  There you can see it if you can just go into bit.
• 11:07
  David. Williams.
• 11:08
  David Williams exactly. Yeah, who we recently recorded
• 11:12
  riches and randoms with. So.
• 11:15
  We were watching a. Couple of weeks.
• 11:18
  The show before the reveal with four horsemen and you pointed
• 11:22
  out the shirt and you were going to comment.
• 11:23
  Oh, so so. And I just, I don't know, just
• 11:25
  leave it leave it, leave it. And then Meg was I said it was
• 11:28
  so so I should have pointed that out.
• 11:30
  I was right. OK Yeah, you were right.
• 11:33
  So. Yeah, yeah, nice shirts.
• 11:38
  It is cool. Yeah.
• 11:39
  Yeah. Kind of kind of a bit metal or
• 11:42
  goth, maybe. Yeah, metal.
• 11:47
  The glamour photos, of course, from Trevor Williams always
• 11:51
  makes a huge difference when you see them.
• 11:54
  We'll never take photos as good as those, but we can look at
• 11:58
  them I'd. Appreciate them.
• 12:01
  Absolutely, although of course that in turn you will get a
• 12:04
  chance to be shown by Trevor how to take photos the way Trevor
• 12:08
  does. That's true, Yeah.
• 12:10
  We get on to that. We get on to that.
• 12:12
  Sorry. And then the the male zombie.
• 12:16
  So accessories courtesy of the Ox crew, I think.
• 12:22
  Yeah. And this is a really good one,
• 12:25
  really. I think I prefer this one.
• 12:27
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:32
  And you get the the wraps, this is kind of like a waist wrap
• 12:37
  here and the red death cloth piece, bare feet.
• 12:43
  You can see the the different bills there.
• 12:47
  So without the shirt completely, just with the wrap and the skirt
• 12:51
  piece. So you can see what body is
• 12:53
  underneath. That's basically red death body.
• 12:55
  Is that right? Yeah.
• 12:56
  Yeah, yeah. And the different zombie heads.
• 13:01
  And there's the different heads close up.
• 13:04
  Gruesome. I think Eric Miller did the
• 13:06
  paint on this so pretty impressive.
• 13:09
  The extra details really do give it an extra bits of value, don't
• 13:12
  they? Yeah, absolutely.
• 13:16
  And then you see that they come with extra clothes as well.
• 13:23
  Come down here. So you got the Trevor pictures
• 13:26
  here as well. I mean, that's just scary with
• 13:28
  the. That is.
• 13:30
  In the chainsaw thing or whatever it is.
• 13:32
  It's normally the human or the chainsaw fighting zombies and
• 13:35
  the zombie I'm doing. So there's, so they come
• 13:37
  separately the two figures and then you get these extra soft
• 13:44
  good packs for $20.00 I think direct from the Horsemen, a
• 13:48
  little bit extra from the retailers.
• 13:52
  So same clothing again, just different colours.
• 13:56
  So we got a red shirt, brown pants for him and black vest.
• 14:02
  And she's got orange and blue and green colorway.
• 14:07
  So and you can see the comparison there with the female
• 14:10
  with the hair, you can see the kind of hair matches a little
• 14:14
  bit. The red not exactly, but looks
• 14:17
  cool. And then we also got these like,
• 14:22
  So as good as the zombies were, I think this, I'm glad there
• 14:27
  were zombies because this wouldn't have been something
• 14:29
  that floats my boat at all. Rich is shaking his head.
• 14:33
  We know how much you love Calavian.
• 14:35
  It's a hard, hard pass for me, I'm afraid.
• 14:37
  Calavians destroyed me to coloured skeletons.
• 14:41
  But there's people that love these so.
• 14:43
  Oh yeah. And there's plenty of this
• 14:45
  skeleton body out now, so you know if you want to pick up a
• 14:49
  cheap one for a custom and you can just paint into the
• 14:53
  different colour pretty usually. Or you want a purple skeletal
• 14:56
  demon or something like that, then you know.
• 14:58
  Yeah, that could could also. And the Black 1 is a chase
• 15:03
  figure. These are 20 bucks, so good
• 15:06
  value. You just get the expressive
• 15:08
  hands with them as so no, no other accessories but for 20
• 15:14
  bucks. I think, and it's a fun thing
• 15:17
  for people to do if that's what they want to do.
• 15:20
  And yeah, blind box then given the chase elements, so pink,
• 15:24
  orange, yellow, purple are the regular ones and the chase is a
• 15:30
  black. So when you order them you just
• 15:35
  get random colour, is that right?
• 15:37
  Yeah, do, unless you order a box of 12, in which case you're
• 15:40
  guaranteed a black one. Yeah.
• 15:41
  And the black 1 is a OK, right? And they they're not going to
• 15:47
  sell these. I chose that earlier there maybe
• 15:49
  they will. They sell store horses
• 15:51
  exclusives. OK, so there you go.
• 15:55
  Overall Rich, you picking up some of the zombies then?
• 15:59
  Uh, I might get maybe a couple of the male ones just for the.
• 16:02
  I'm not bothered about the clothes at all, but umm, body
• 16:05
  and the body underneath. Well, I mean, it doesn't go with
• 16:07
  mythics or cosmics really, those clothes.
• 16:09
  The modern take so. Yeah, unless they certainly do a
• 16:12
  modern legions line then. But the bodies underneath
• 16:15
  definitely want at least one, maybe two of those, and the
• 16:18
  female more interested. Right now.
• 16:22
  Yeah, yeah. I'm going to pick up a couple
• 16:25
  of. Yeah, I'm going to pick up a
• 16:29
  couple of each. I just don't like the female
• 16:38
  zombie. Just like you know.
• 16:44
  You go play with your clothes hanger, they're behind.
• 16:48
  I I, yeah, I actually like the female zombie because he doesn't
• 16:52
  love a rock chick, you know, even if she's dead or undead.
• 16:56
  So yeah, I'll get a couple of each, could give them the
• 17:00
  different clothes. And I'm torn because I was
• 17:04
  actually going to do, I was going to repaint a Satorn and
• 17:09
  probably not. I'll probably have to buy a
• 17:10
  third male one because I was going to repaint a red Death
• 17:13
  body to do a cosmic custom using, you know, some head.
• 17:20
  Oh, Brian Burke head that. Yeah, phone box head, I should
• 17:23
  say. So yeah, I might just find one
• 17:27
  way. You haven't paint it.
• 17:28
  Yeah, Yeah. Although then have to match the
• 17:31
  body paint I suppose. Although it might happen to know
• 17:34
  who could tell me what they did. What about you, John?
• 17:41
  Good. Yeah, the same as you.
• 17:44
  I like the male zombie and I think I'll pick up a couple of
• 17:47
  them and the extra soft goods. Have a go at him as well, Meg,
• 17:50
  come on. Maybe.
• 17:55
  Maybe. Would they go into Monster Force
• 17:58
  at all? They're a bit tall, aren't they?
• 18:01
  But they probably would. Fantasy probably make that work.
• 18:03
  Something like that or just have, you know, their own little
• 18:06
  display, maybe with the the graveyard skeletons from last
• 18:09
  year, you know, that would work you guys down in the corner.
• 18:17
  Probably not. None of them, really.
• 18:20
  Well, obviously a female one now.
• 18:24
  Come on, come on, You got to balance the force here.
• 18:28
  I don't do zombies. Nice, get out of gaol for each.
• 18:32
  Other I just I just really don't do zombies.
• 18:35
  They creep me out. I watched I am legend.
• 18:37
  I think too early, but they're. Not zombies.
• 18:40
  They are zombies. They're pretty much zombies.
• 18:46
  Yeah, Long story short, no, I I really like the soft good packs
• 18:50
  idea. I think that's really, really
• 18:51
  nice. I might have loved to have seen
• 18:53
  that in in mythics or even cosmic, but not not for these
• 18:58
  persons. I think for similar reasons as
• 18:59
  you guys really not like the the modern line really doesn't go
• 19:04
  with anything for us. Well, I see.
• 19:07
  It's funny, isn't it? Because I've sort of turned my
• 19:11
  figure. Obscure horror.
• 19:14
  Me turn that glass around as well, Mel, just so you can see
• 19:17
  that as well. This is what I had to put.
• 19:21
  Up with, you know, sorry. I'm showing all my Liverpool FC
• 19:23
  stuff. Liverpool.
• 19:25
  FC2 last night. We lost.
• 19:26
  Shut up. Yeah, anyway, continue.
• 19:32
  Yeah, I was sort of turned by my figure obscure shelf and and the
• 19:36
  Jersey Devil will be added to it, but so will the zombies into
• 19:39
  just a general horror shelf. So you.
• 19:41
  Know oh, that's a good idea as well.
• 19:42
  Yeah, mix them in with those guys.
• 19:44
  Yeah, pretty much. That's what I'm going to do with
• 19:46
  them. Excellent.
• 19:47
  And and we also had a little bit of glias stuff.
• 19:56
  So not not directly for horsemen, but it's based on the
• 19:59
  the figures that they're bringing out, or at least some
• 20:03
  of the figures. There's a fade in and an anti
• 20:07
  fade in here and a build born infinite Savras which is looks
• 20:15
  really cool. So these are now remind me glias
• 20:19
  but slightly bigger than normal. Yeah, they have been like yeah,
• 20:23
  I don't know exactly, but what from watching the video when
• 20:27
  they did the Infinity by Frisco the Faden reveal him really and
• 20:35
  pre-order that. These were based on the prints
• 20:41
  of the bodies of the Mythic Legions figure, but scaled down
• 20:47
  to be closer to glass size and compatibility with all the other
• 20:54
  glass stuff. But yes, they are well, a little
• 20:58
  bit taller than the normal fading.
• 21:02
  Yeah. So this was a this was a
• 21:04
  basically in stock drop on oneldesign.com, which is Matt
• 21:10
  who does the this figure, who works with the horsemen on their
• 21:14
  figure and it's based on his original glass figure.
• 21:18
  And they don't normally do pre-orders and for this kind of
• 21:22
  stuff. But because the demand was so
• 21:24
  big, if they're now up for pre-order for for a little
• 21:28
  while, I didn't unfortunately note until the end, but it's a
• 21:33
  it's up on the horsemen socials. So you see it they're.
• 21:36
  Interested. 19th There you go. Thank you, Max.
• 21:40
  Good to see somebody knows what they're doing.
• 21:43
  Just well, this morning and I think still.
• 21:45
  Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah, those guys are more
• 21:49
  including than us on this stuff especially and so, yeah, but
• 21:52
  cool and very detailed figures, kind of cool.
• 21:55
  So we maybe try and pick them up.
• 21:58
  Only delivers to America. So that's a tricky one for us,
• 22:04
  but I understand it's a, it's a kind of a small, small industry,
• 22:09
  you know, kind of a thing. There is glass people in UK,
• 22:13
  isn't there? Madness.
• 22:14
  There's one that I know of. Hungry Hedgehog, yeah, who
• 22:18
  apparently has been at legions can't the previous years.
• 22:22
  So right, we'll be there again. This year have to look out for
• 22:25
  him, Yeah, to join the foreigner club.
• 22:29
  Even offering no international shipping, they're still going to
• 22:31
  do a better job of international shipping than a walk did so.
• 22:37
  That's a real throwback reference right there.
• 22:39
  I'm never letting that go. I love the way you keep swinging
• 22:42
  even though, like, we're going to see them in person in the
• 22:45
  next couple of weeks, you know? He's also bought more stuff from
• 22:48
  them since, but. No, that's.
• 22:53
  That's that is a filthy lie, everybody.
• 22:58
  Or a filthy sea. Wow, under the bus like I choose
• 23:03
  that man. Well, you know, you keep
• 23:07
  swinging, somebody's gonna close the door in your face.
• 23:10
  Keep. Swinging and somebody will
• 23:11
  betray you. Yes, thank you.
• 23:15
  Hey, this is Corn Boy from 4 Horsemen Toy Design, and you're
• 23:17
  listening to the Euro Legions podcast.
• 23:20
  OK, so that's the news anyway. And you know, so let's get on to
• 23:24
  the weather and right, we got legions gone.
• 23:30
  Legions gone. Yes, this is what we're talking
• 23:33
  about. People that are not going to
• 23:34
  allegiance gone, not interested. And just listen to our show for
• 23:37
  the figures are sick of us at the moment.
• 23:39
  So that's that's great. But we're we don't care.
• 23:43
  We're excited, you know, and this is where we all get to meet
• 23:45
  up, which is pretty much the most important thing.
• 23:47
  But you know, we talk about all the other stuff, but that's the
• 23:50
  best bit. And so getting there, that's the
• 23:54
  first question, how are you guys going to get there?
• 23:59
  We leave the house at 4:30 on Wednesday.
• 24:04
  We fly from Manchester to London and then London, New New Jersey.
• 24:10
  New New Jersey New. Jersey, New New Jersey.
• 24:12
  Newark. Newark, I guess it is.
• 24:14
  Yeah. And Newark?
• 24:16
  So I went New Jersey. New New Jersey.
• 24:19
  So what time is that flight landing then in Newark?
• 24:22
  2:00 PM. Oh, it's the same time as me
• 24:24
  then, or within half an hour or so.
• 24:27
  I'll. I'll look at Fuse.
• 24:29
  Yeah, maybe we can. We can get to the hotel
• 24:31
  together. So there you go.
• 24:32
  There's another. We're waiting for like there's.
• 24:35
  Going to be a lot of us arriving at the exact same time, I think,
• 24:38
  right? Mark Cal was arriving at a
• 24:40
  similar time, so I think we're going to have to hire a minibus
• 24:42
  or something. Figure out there's loads of
• 24:46
  Uber. You put the Uber app on your
• 24:48
  phone. That's the first thing you do
• 24:49
  when you. As well is this one.
• 24:52
  They're not actually too bad either.
• 24:54
  I think it's what, $50 or something?
• 24:55
  So if you're sharing, it's. Once you're sharing.
• 24:57
  At all, Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:01
  And long day, right? Yeah, that's very.
• 25:04
  Long day, yeah. Yeah, it's like 10 hours of
• 25:06
  flying. And how much time do you have
• 25:09
  then in the in London where you are?
• 25:14
  But we land in Terminal 5 and fly out of Terminal 5, so it's
• 25:17
  not like we have to. OK, we'll rush across the London
• 25:21
  Heathrow to a different terminal.
• 25:23
  They'll still lose your bag, but.
• 25:26
  Don't say that. Welcome to the show.
• 25:33
  The. Universe.
• 25:35
  Don't worry the shit me and John about the curse.
• 25:38
  So it's Malston, but you'd. Say that, but maybe because of
• 25:41
  the people are coming, the curse will pass.
• 25:43
  Sorry. Usually it involves getting
• 25:52
  there. A bit late to say that's why I'm
• 25:54
  stepping out so. Air tag in the bags.
• 25:56
  There you go, put an air tag in the bag.
• 26:00
  I'm tempted. I'm going to buy one of them.
• 26:02
  I'm going to buy 2. Yeah.
• 26:06
  Yeah, just for Peace of Mind. At least you know where they
• 26:07
  are. Yeah, you know you.
• 26:09
  Know it's worse if you can see them heading off in another
• 26:11
  direction. That's where the community jerky
• 26:13
  and my bags are still wondered. What are they in Croatia?
• 26:17
  We've involved, well, let's say it saved it.
• 26:19
  Saved me the first year I went because some lady took my bag
• 26:23
  from the carousel while I was in the cost in the customs queue.
• 26:28
  Yeah, and and her back look nothing like mine, which was.
• 26:33
  I've ever taken situation. Like I was there, we're looking
• 26:37
  at the air tag and like I didn't check it until I went to the
• 26:40
  barracks carousel, which was, and it was a massive queue that
• 26:43
  time because there was something else on.
• 26:46
  I know I went into JFK. It was the mistake.
• 26:48
  Yeah, and it was in. And the New York Marathon was on
• 26:52
  and yeah. And when I got out to the
• 26:55
  baggage carousel, of course there wasn't that many bags
• 26:57
  going around anymore. And then I realised mine wasn't
• 27:00
  there. And then I looked at the thing
• 27:02
  was outside the turn. Yeah.
• 27:05
  So I managed to convince they wouldn't have done anything,
• 27:08
  only I showed them where the air tag is outside, you know, the
• 27:11
  bag is there in South Side. And then they, she got in touch
• 27:16
  with someone else and then someone had been in to say, oh,
• 27:18
  they took the wrong bag. But it took another hour before
• 27:22
  the lady managed to back into the airport And and I, I saw her
• 27:28
  back just sitting there. It was like, that's nothing.
• 27:31
  It's vaguely like mine, but like really not, you know, I wasn't
• 27:35
  one of these black generic bags. It was like a purple kind of
• 27:41
  suitcase that my wife had. It was like it's kind of Kipling
• 27:45
  as the brand, you know, you wouldn't really see it very
• 27:49
  often, especially outside of Europe, so.
• 27:52
  Weird. So so for any for only Americans
• 27:56
  listening, this is what we do in Europe.
• 27:58
  We get people who are very excited about something and then
• 28:01
  go to terrify them and make them regret them coming in the 1st
• 28:04
  place and then they enjoy themselves.
• 28:06
  So we. Need to we need to retitle the
• 28:13
  episode First time Doom Legion. Well, I mean I could clickbait
• 28:20
  title at Legions Convergence, but I think that would be the
• 28:26
  wrong audience. Well, any audience is a good
• 28:30
  audience, you know. Especially with a nice picture
• 28:32
  of green and next in the thumbnail.
• 28:34
  That just wouldn't do them any credit, would it?
• 28:36
  No, no. That's it.
• 28:39
  No right. So or something like that.
• 28:42
  We're there and obviously Wednesday is just trying to
• 28:46
  acclimatise, you know, go to the supermarket.
• 28:52
  Yeah, definitely go to. Yeah, bottles of water.
• 28:55
  Yeah, you're not going to bother bringing our big water bottles
• 28:58
  with us because. No.
• 29:00
  Like and they'll take up. To and then you guys are going
• 29:04
  to intern. Well, one of us is going to
• 29:08
  intern. So I'm like I spoke to quite
• 29:12
  briefly when I got the confirmation that had come
• 29:14
  through, you were like, it's ironic.
• 29:17
  Since then you've kind of got a bit more interested in leaders.
• 29:20
  But you said at the time like I'll take my Calvo, he'll
• 29:22
  appreciate a lot more. I.
• 29:24
  Still think that. I still think that Mark would
• 29:26
  get more of it out of it than I would.
• 29:28
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, so you've very
• 29:32
  graciously given your slot up to Mark.
• 29:35
  So yeah, I'll, I'll be going with Mark Calvo on the day.
• 29:38
  So, yeah, yeah. And Mal, you didn't get out of
• 29:43
  the draw for intern, but what happened subsequently?
• 29:46
  Yes, someone dropped out and I got picked out as one of the
• 29:55
  backup sort of runner up people, whatever you call it in this
• 29:58
  instance. So yes, he loses yeah.
• 30:03
  So yeah, so I we will, I am now going to intern and I've been
• 30:09
  allowed to bring the both of you with me ever now, so.
• 30:14
  So. Make them fight.
• 30:16
  Jammy jammy effers managed to get in.
• 30:21
  I was just. About to message them and be
• 30:23
  like guys, you can decide between you.
• 30:28
  I'll be over here when you're done.
• 30:31
  Who loves me the most? And now I got told I could bring
• 30:36
  them both, so yeah. They play.
• 30:39
  Yeah, amazing. Well, I mean, I would if I'd
• 30:42
  known Megan wasn't going. I mean, you know, would have
• 30:44
  just taken the opportunity to hang out with her for the day
• 30:46
  numbers, you know? Yeah.
• 30:51
  My bad, my bad luck. I'm stuck with you guys.
• 30:56
  Wow, yeah. Wow.
• 31:00
  Yeah, so that'll be, that'll be fun.
• 31:02
  There's going to be a few people there that it'll be fun to hang
• 31:04
  out with and see. Yeah, there'll be plenty of
• 31:09
  people at the hotel too, Megs that you know, most people
• 31:11
  there, people come in. So they're leaving if they're
• 31:13
  not going to intern. I've made friends.
• 31:16
  You remember the legions, ladies?
• 31:19
  In a sense, haven't you? So like in terms of Legion
• 31:22
  stuff? Thanks.
• 31:24
  So I've been because like I've always been on the periphery of
• 31:28
  myth, like Legions because it's been your hobby primarily.
• 31:32
  I have a handful of my own but never really got into it.
• 31:35
  But like in preparation for Legions, kind of been like
• 31:38
  engaging on YouTube a lot more and watching a lot more
• 31:41
  different shows like like Legions, like Kate Zackman and
• 31:45
  like Legions Ladies and Legions ladies does a a mod squad on
• 31:50
  Saturday, which it's Saturday morning for them, but it's
• 31:53
  Saturday afternoon for us, which means they can actually engage.
• 31:56
  And they invited me on last Saturday and now I'm part of the
• 31:59
  mod squad. Oh no.
• 32:02
  I'm going lightly done so I'm not going to start customising
• 32:06
  and painting stuff. Oh wow.
• 32:08
  I thought, I mean you were going to come along with short hair
• 32:10
  and a fringe to be. Honest.
• 32:21
  Hide on your good print brushes now going on.
• 32:23
  Oh, they're just I'm hiding them.
• 32:28
  No, not happening. Even though she probably bought
• 32:30
  half of them. They said there's meant to be a
• 32:34
  good point. There is, there's two.
• 32:36
  What's wrong? So it's exciting.
• 32:42
  You've always kind of, like you said, you've shown an interest
• 32:43
  of it and you've got some heads that I've bought you in the past
• 32:47
  that you showed an interest in. So it's just a case of potting.
• 32:52
  What's the word? I was going to say pen to paper,
• 32:54
  but it's not that. It's brushed to lesson print.
• 32:57
  Yeah, yeah. So now that we know Meg's going
• 33:01
  to be OK, I can I can safely ask this question.
• 33:03
  Gwen, what are you looking forward to, Intern?
• 33:05
  I couldn't have asked that if we knew Meg's when we sat in the
• 33:07
  hotel by yourself. Sad.
• 33:10
  It's it's getting behind the scenes.
• 33:12
  Do you know what I mean? Like, I think it's also not to
• 33:15
  sound too cheesy spending the day with you guys.
• 33:17
  I'm genuinely like, I'm really, really happy to hear that you're
• 33:19
  going to be there, but it's experiencing.
• 33:22
  I'm with them and still want to spend more time with them.
• 33:27
  They must have been very different to you.
• 33:32
  That's a good impression. So no, it's it's and they're
• 33:37
  seeing these guys in their element, the the horsemen in
• 33:40
  that sense and and seeing what's behind the creativity that they
• 33:44
  showed, you know what I mean? And as we all know, like the the
• 33:46
  studios made-up of fans as well as as people that are just
• 33:51
  creatively parts of it's like, I can't think of if someone, if I
• 33:56
  showed anyone around my job, obviously I'd be passionate
• 33:58
  about it. But there's only a certain
• 33:59
  level, you know what I mean? Where yeah, I think that's what
• 34:03
  I'm really looking forward to is that energy really of, of seeing
• 34:06
  them in their elements. It is amazing.
• 34:09
  They're they're really good. And you know, I think we've said
• 34:12
  it before on the show with me guys, but just just going past
• 34:15
  their offices and they've got offices just full of action
• 34:16
  figures, all of them, because they're all just huge
• 34:19
  collectors. It's just, it's just a joy to
• 34:21
  stand there and just look at the stuff in their offices.
• 34:23
  I. Mean so discreet here.
• 34:32
  True, but they're yeah. And yeah, I mean, the sculpting
• 34:36
  with Eric, obviously, you know, that's something that is very
• 34:40
  creative already and it's right in front of you and they're
• 34:42
  being done. And you know, that's always
• 34:45
  going to be unique to the one that you were at because it's
• 34:49
  never the same. Yeah.
• 34:50
  So that's exciting and. Send me the paintings here.
• 34:53
  I mean, you've got two options, obviously.
• 34:55
  You can go and watch or speak to Cameron about painting or speak
• 34:58
  to Sherry about painting. And they both got their own
• 35:00
  takes on it, very different takes.
• 35:01
  I've done both of them. I've been two times.
• 35:03
  And it's, yeah, really interesting.
• 35:05
  You think with the sculpting this time that you'll be able to
• 35:08
  predict the future with your choice of sculpt.
• 35:13
  I don't know, if I take a picture of my finish, I think
• 35:14
  Jeremy might go over and just take my phone off me.
• 35:16
  It's like, no, no posting that on the cabal.
• 35:19
  What? Do you think it'll be this year?
• 35:22
  What? What are you thinking of
• 35:23
  requesting? I don't know, I might.
• 35:27
  I might keep quiet for once. I'm normally shouting out at
• 35:30
  the. Third time there.
• 35:31
  So, yeah, Jeremy always says, you know, anyone that's been
• 35:34
  there before, you know, let the new, let the newer people,
• 35:40
  definitely. And yeah, well, I think we were
• 35:42
  there as guests, so we didn't really want to be stepping on
• 35:45
  the toes of people who were paying.
• 35:47
  You know that's different. The key thing for me, I think,
• 35:50
  would be making sure I don't glare at somebody if they go
• 35:52
  barbarian. Hey.
• 35:57
  That'll be me. You'll be glaring out.
• 36:03
  Yeah, whatever painting session you go to, Mal, just because
• 36:05
  tell me all the different tones you use for the barbarian.
• 36:09
  Let's talk skin tones. Vampire skin, no.
• 36:15
  That's just fart white, isn't it?
• 36:20
  Oh. Yeah, I mean, to Rich's eyes,
• 36:23
  yes. Excuse me, I've had lots of
• 36:28
  vampire heads commissioned but painted by other people's home,
• 36:30
  you know? True, true.
• 36:31
  I know what I'm asking for. Connoisseur.
• 36:33
  Connoisseur of the vampire. Yeah, so there you've got also
• 36:37
  obviously Trevor with the photography, Nate Barch.
• 36:40
  Yeah. And with the the art, which is
• 36:44
  amazing. And you got Jim's studio tour?
• 36:50
  Which sounds like you'd be boring, but honestly it's it's
• 36:53
  amazing. Really.
• 36:55
  And and you come out and go how is the building this pig?
• 36:59
  Yeah, it didn't look. Yeah, because you're, you know,
• 37:02
  for the rest of it, you're in the small enough area.
• 37:05
  You know, there's a offices and a couple of meeting rooms and,
• 37:08
  you know, general kind of open area and yeah, then there's just
• 37:12
  this vast, vast warehouse of stuff.
• 37:15
  Yeah, upstairs and all sorts of stuff, yeah.
• 37:19
  And so that's intern and then that evening is.
• 37:24
  Before you fit the move off that John also you also get to see
• 37:27
  what their lifestyle statues are going to be the day the
• 37:29
  following day. You swore to secrecy, but you
• 37:32
  get to see them. Yeah, usually they can't hide
• 37:35
  that. Yeah, that's true.
• 37:37
  They're a bit big. You get to do the armoury as
• 37:39
  well. Yes, yes, like that, yeah.
• 37:43
  And last year it was 4 bills, wasn't it?
• 37:45
  So you can get you can get quite a few.
• 37:48
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't be a headless chicken like
• 37:51
  me. I just went in.
• 37:55
  I thought made for a pretty good follow on show.
• 37:56
  John, you just like I've known what I can do with this, I've no
• 37:59
  idea what I'm going to do with this.
• 38:01
  That would definitely be one of my and I did it last year, just
• 38:04
  coincidentally, one of my guide like you know, guide for
• 38:07
  beginners and new new people to legions con.
• 38:10
  If you're going to do the armoury experience, have it
• 38:12
  planned beforehand, at least a couple that you get something
• 38:16
  that you're happy with. Yeah, yeah.
• 38:21
  I think I'm going to be quite boring with my my choice of head
• 38:24
  and top and stuff but like I'm a parts I'll probably try and mix
• 38:28
  it up and try get the exclusive pieces.
• 38:31
  That's a good idea, yeah. Yeah, because a couple of the
• 38:34
  exclusive things sold out I think on the Saturday last year.
• 38:37
  So yeah. Stock up on the green parts last
• 38:41
  year and that we don't see more parts flying around, but it's
• 38:45
  quite few and far between isn't it really?
• 38:48
  Sure is, Yeah, yeah. And then they did, they did also
• 38:55
  last year of a sale of like stuff that's.
• 38:58
  Oh, they do that every year. Sorry.
• 38:59
  Yes, yeah, yeah. So just like, you know, a little
• 39:04
  bonus of being there, you can buy some figures rather than
• 39:07
  having to go around the table from the following day sort of
• 39:09
  thing. So yeah, first year I went, it
• 39:11
  was limited to one of each, but last year they had a bit more
• 39:13
  bit more freedom. But it might.
• 39:14
  And I think that's now that they often have them, they have
• 39:18
  pretty much stuff in stock all the time.
• 39:20
  So might only be something that kind of crops up on the day.
• 39:28
  Last year it was the IT was the mysteries of mythos figures like
• 39:33
  the ones that were in the blind boxes.
• 39:36
  They were, they were there available to buy.
• 39:39
  So like, you know, you're Elf, Ranger, Fury, York, those ones.
• 39:46
  Yeah. So managed to pick up a few of
• 39:48
  them, which I wouldn't. I didn't buy the box, the
• 39:53
  mysteries think boxes because there wasn't really anything was
• 39:57
  are the so few that I want that I needed that.
• 39:59
  It was like not going to take the chance here.
• 40:01
  So that was a good payoff and right.
• 40:05
  And then that evening, I suppose we have to take it easy.
• 40:10
  Look after a voice, lads, especially.
• 40:16
  Assuming Mao will still have his voice at this point.
• 40:19
  Yeah. I mean, it's a possibility,
• 40:22
  yeah. Yeah, this is when the time
• 40:24
  starts to blur. You know, this is when you're on
• 40:27
  Sunday evening going. Where did that go?
• 40:29
  Yeah, I remember intern. And then it's we're here Sunday
• 40:31
  evening. People start to arrive and
• 40:33
  party. The party atmosphere kicks in,
• 40:35
  doesn't it? And.
• 40:36
  I think you're on such an adrenaline rush after intern or
• 40:40
  spending time with the lady mods that's UMM.
• 40:43
  But you're just like, you're psyched at that point.
• 40:45
  So everything just starts as John says, just blurring a
• 40:47
  little bit. Yeah, absolutely.
• 40:51
  Next day then is G Khan. That was kind of where we all
• 40:56
  first met that first year. We watched it from the hotel
• 41:01
  because they did it back in the studio on those days.
• 41:04
  So that was, it's kind of funny, yeah.
• 41:06
  Nuts to think about it isn't that tiny little route, Oh gum
• 41:10
  glowing that tiny little room in in with the projector in the
• 41:15
  hotel and and what it is now where there's this much bigger
• 41:20
  room and it's full of people, people standing up, people
• 41:23
  ambling around. Also, it's bonkers.
• 41:26
  And people online. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 41:30
  Yeah. And that's another great thing
• 41:31
  with intern, you get priority seating at G Con.
• 41:35
  Yeah, I see you get up the front there.
• 41:36
  Yeah, nothing. I do get beating.
• 41:38
  At G Con so I don't get good. I don't I get.
• 41:42
  A few Max going to New York with his wife that day for G.
• 41:45
  Oh, is he? OK.
• 41:48
  So Meg's tapping in it's. Great.
• 41:50
  He's bringing his wife over there.
• 41:52
  OK, yeah, awesome. So he's finally getting the
• 41:56
  family in in the act. Yeah, he is.
• 41:58
  Yeah. I guess that'll allow him to get
• 42:00
  away from his table a little bit too, because he was a bit stuck
• 42:02
  there, wasn't he last? Year, He was pretty exhausted by
• 42:05
  the end of the day, wasn't he saying?
• 42:07
  Told I'm going to give him a hand on the table as well.
• 42:08
  So that's cool support for him just to get, like I said, just
• 42:13
  to give him the time to to go stretch his legs and just to
• 42:18
  experience it as well, you know, happy to do that for you as well
• 42:23
  if you'd like. We've got plenty of us we've got
• 42:28
  and John's a machine. It's like, really, wait till you
• 42:32
  see it. It's something to behold.
• 42:33
  Have you seen this Terminator and John in the same room?
• 42:39
  Yeah, John's good at training us up too.
• 42:40
  So John disappeared probably to buy something or something last
• 42:43
  year. And I picked up his black light
• 42:45
  and showing people all the stuff he had the glowed in the dark.
• 42:47
  And this sort of stuff is like, Jesus, you trained me.
• 42:53
  Yeah, it's impressive. But yeah, it's, it's quite an
• 42:57
  interesting one because the you get quite a different experience
• 43:01
  being, you know, behind the table and the vendor.
• 43:04
  And, you know, there's going to be a few people who are going to
• 43:06
  be happy to meet you and miss the, you know, homed acts.
• 43:10
  There's people who know that name and they've seen it in the
• 43:12
  Cabal for a long, long time. So you'll you'll have some
• 43:16
  people fanboying and fangirling over here.
• 43:19
  You say that sometimes our people know.
• 43:21
  Yeah. But the concept of that's really
• 43:23
  strange to me, like of anyone taking notes of anything that I
• 43:26
  make is just a strange 1. So yeah, I'd be more than happy
• 43:30
  to talk to anyone, really. We're going to put some clothes
• 43:32
  together, so that'll help with with identifying us, isn't it,
• 43:37
  I? Was wondering what you were
• 43:38
  talking about then. Put some clothes together.
• 43:41
  We're. Going to wear clothes this time.
• 43:45
  And once you open your mouth, you'll be fully identified as
• 43:48
  not American. The people coming up asking for
• 43:52
  the subtitles. Yeah, I'm very ready.
• 43:56
  I'm ready for that. So I have not enough fear
• 43:59
  anyway. So it's even.
• 44:00
  I tell like quite often, like I'm very aware that I'm toning
• 44:03
  down my accents as I speak now. So it's I don't know what's
• 44:07
  going to happen to my action when I go to America and be out
• 44:09
  of my company. It might just kind of go
• 44:12
  protective mode and and tell it like and see how seals pads
• 44:16
  going to just explode. He's.
• 44:19
  Called me over his translator. Black.
• 44:21
  Yeah. What's his name?
• 44:24
  Yeah, so Horn Dax is definitely easier to pronounce than we on
• 44:29
  Elytia. Not going to mention it at all I
• 44:34
  don't think. Was that our live show, man?
• 44:38
  Well. We're doing a live show.
• 44:42
  Yeah, but. Your allegiance live plus pizza.
• 44:48
  Oh. Man Mal's ordering.
• 44:53
  Yeah, what do we think? Just plain cheese.
• 44:56
  Nobody will complain. Pineapple.
• 44:58
  All we ever have in America is cheese or pepperoni.
• 45:01
  Anchovies and pineapple so. Pineapple, but not.
• 45:10
  With anchovies. This is This is now.
• 45:12
  The only thing that's going to get discussed in the comments on
• 45:15
  this is a. Is a dodgy pizza.
• 45:20
  There was a dodgy pizza place in town and it was OK pizza but I
• 45:24
  would never buy pizza with meats on there from that place.
• 45:28
  Always go vegetarian just in case.
• 45:30
  I was like I don't trust the meats from there.
• 45:32
  So yeah, it's no poison if. I'm going to get food poisoning
• 45:36
  from anything. I'll take the risk with the
• 45:37
  pizza. Yeah, I love pizza too much.
• 45:42
  Same. What's everybody's favourite
• 45:44
  topics? No, it's a good question.
• 45:48
  Hot salami with me, boring and garlic.
• 45:52
  Tough one. I like.
• 45:54
  I just like interesting stuff, you know?
• 45:57
  I like there to be a mix of something interesting.
• 45:59
  I prefer the flat sort of pizzas to Italian thick ones.
• 46:07
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was picked 1.
• 46:10
  I can't, I can't A genuinely, I like a white place the best.
• 46:14
  And then it's just whatever's on it, yeah.
• 46:17
  Ideally I'd go for a BBQ base and then pepperoni, red onion
• 46:21
  and pineapple. How?
• 46:25
  About you 2 but. If I'm going for like tomato
• 46:29
  base it would be ham and pineapple but white base I I
• 46:35
  like making pizza so I do a white base, garlic, white base,
• 46:39
  grape cheese and caramelised onion.
• 46:42
  Yes, what I had for supper tonight.
• 46:45
  That sounds amazing, Sourdough. Piece as well.
• 46:48
  Yeah, I'd make a sourdough pizza dough.
• 46:50
  Oh nice, Bob the Goat's cheese. That sounds delicious.
• 46:53
  It's there's a really good pizza place is better quite and that
• 46:57
  but people people have no idea where that is but.
• 47:00
  I don't even know where. You've been my ears are picked
• 47:02
  up already and we're like, OK. It's called Hanging Pizzeria.
• 47:06
  That's where it is, and it's really good stuff.
• 47:08
  I didn't. I wasn't a fan of goat cheese
• 47:09
  until then. And then, yeah, fan of it now.
• 47:12
  OK. For me, it's either one that
• 47:14
  makes makes or like a Donna pizza.
• 47:18
  Yeah. Those are both wrong and right
• 47:21
  at the same time. It.
• 47:21
  Don't. Yeah.
• 47:23
  It hits the mark when you have it, Yeah.
• 47:25
  Kebabe Pizza. Kebabe Pizza.
• 47:27
  Yeah. Yeah, where, where, Where I
• 47:33
  live, there's like in the 50s, sixties, there was a whole lot
• 47:36
  of Italians that moved here to rebuild after the war, I guess,
• 47:41
  you know, a lot of immigration. And so there's a lot of
• 47:46
  subsequently a lot of Italian restaurants and they're very
• 47:49
  Italian, like it's Italian Italian.
• 47:51
  And so, yeah, he does not even pineapple as an option in these
• 47:56
  most of these 90% of these restaurants.
• 47:58
  And you kind of get worried if there is because then you
• 48:01
  realise it's probably not a great one.
• 48:04
  And yeah, so the. Best.
• 48:07
  One I hear like BBQ sauce and stuff, it's like it's so far
• 48:13
  from what you can get but I understand after 6 beers it's
• 48:18
  probably nice you know? Oh, it's a meat feast after 6
• 48:21
  beers. Yeah, as much meat as you can go
• 48:24
  on. After 6 beers, there's Mrs I
• 48:28
  brought my now wife up to North Wales.
• 48:30
  We went to a what I'd regard as a dirty pizza shop in, in Upper
• 48:35
  Bangor and we were doing a meat feast 1 and it came.
• 48:38
  It was no, not a lie. It was that deep in meat.
• 48:41
  And then there was kebab meat piled on top, which is like oh
• 48:44
  so good. Two slices fills you that
• 48:47
  doesn't know that's the. Problem.
• 48:49
  Yeah, I suppose you. I suppose you destroy it with
• 48:55
  salad cream then. Beyond you.
• 48:56
  Oh. I would actually.
• 48:58
  Yeah. Whole name here as well.
• 49:00
  There's absolute disgust. Hates it.
• 49:06
  I don't do condiments either, John.
• 49:08
  Well, definitely not salad cream.
• 49:10
  And you don't need condiments on the gods.
• 49:13
  You don't need condiments on a pizza, apart from maybe hot, hot
• 49:16
  chilli oil or something. You know, hot honey.
• 49:18
  Pretty rubbish clubs are going to be honest.
• 49:20
  Rich. Garlic Mayo or garlic Mayo fan?
• 49:24
  Garlic Mayo or garlic oil on the pizza as well.
• 49:26
  It's great. Yeah.
• 49:29
  Right, so that was the early so that's basically just going to
• 49:33
  be pizzas talking about pizzas and toppings.
• 49:36
  So if you need, if you want to come, just prepare your, you
• 49:39
  know, answer for what's your favourite pizza topping.
• 49:41
  It's going to be live riches randoms 15 questions about
• 49:45
  pizzas riches are really on it. Doubled.
• 49:51
  So the pizzeria in Bangor? No, the one in the Main Street?
• 49:55
  What is the most popular pizza in?
• 49:58
  How many inches of meat on this pizza before Donna is the fight,
• 50:02
  No. Drunk.
• 50:03
  I am sorry. Lucky Donna.
• 50:13
  Despair in John's face there. It's what we pay for.
• 50:21
  Don't hate editing these episodes.
• 50:22
  You can be like. Well, I've already created more
• 50:26
  editing in myself for this than anyone else, so people won't
• 50:29
  know, but yet, right? Yeah.
• 50:34
  So we're going to do live show, we're going.
• 50:35
  It's going to be fun. Hopefully all the technology and
• 50:38
  stuff works because that would be nice so we can do it
• 50:41
  properly. We'll try our best.
• 50:44
  Otherwise you might have to get close to closer to us than you
• 50:47
  feel comfortable. And yeah, and we'll try and do
• 50:51
  some giveaways, some audience interaction.
• 50:54
  We love to get people up to talk and we'll talk about the
• 50:58
  reveals. So if you're super excited about
• 51:00
  what you just saw and you want to speak to people or you want
• 51:02
  to hear people speak about it straight afterwards.
• 51:06
  And it might just be me and Mild depending on what's being
• 51:08
  revealed, because Rich will just be on the foreground.
• 51:12
  You don't know that, didn't we? If they reveal Shark Man or
• 51:14
  something, I'm not going to be on the podcast.
• 51:15
  I should be like what's. That puddle.
• 51:18
  What's that puddle over there? Giddy.
• 51:21
  Just just a pair of shorts on the ground.
• 51:23
  That was rich. He's got streaking again.
• 51:32
  Yeah, I'm thinking of taking your taking your route Rich and
• 51:36
  putting a pair of shorts or two in the in the bag instead of
• 51:39
  trousers. Just got to be.
• 51:41
  Shorts. Save a bit of space in the
• 51:43
  packing and you don't leave the hotel that much.
• 51:46
  It's all the backside and one of my pairs of shorts so they
• 51:48
  actually I need to find another pair quick before legions gone
• 51:51
  otherwise I'll be smelly shorting it up at Leeds.
• 51:53
  Nobody needs that. That is another good beginner's
• 51:56
  tip that we didn't think about and is it gets really hot in the
• 51:59
  hotel and in the halls. So it is.
• 52:02
  Good. Not not unbearably, though.
• 52:04
  No, no, the first year was unbearable.
• 52:06
  But Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, true. Different kind of what?
• 52:09
  We showed last year as well again.
• 52:11
  Yeah, yeah. Also, check the weather forecast
• 52:14
  before you come, guys, because it's all over the place.
• 52:16
  You know, you expect New Jersey in November to be relatively
• 52:19
  cold, but the first year there was 22°, which is insane.
• 52:23
  But even last year, I think it was like 14 or 15, which is, you
• 52:25
  know. Yeah.
• 52:26
  It was a lovely temperature so. Again, last year it was all over
• 52:29
  the place. So because when I arrived it was
• 52:30
  freezing cold and then as you say, like a couple of days in it
• 52:33
  was wasn't too bad out, yeah. Yes, to check the weather
• 52:37
  forecast. That's my big tip for newbies.
• 52:40
  Yeah. And yeah, we didn't even get a
• 52:42
  cloud. It was hardly a cloud in the sky
• 52:44
  last year. I remember it.
• 52:45
  It's crazy. Which is good for flying and all
• 52:48
  that kind of stuff, you know. Depends on the flight is
• 52:54
  circling various parts. In New Jersey, it doesn't really
• 52:57
  matter. That wasn't because the weather
• 53:00
  there was it. No, no, that was just because we
• 53:02
  run out of fuel and then and then we hit something when we
• 53:06
  landed. So yeah, apart from that, it was
• 53:07
  a perfect journey, you know? Heard this story Max?
• 53:13
  I'm not. I'm not an either.
• 53:15
  Oh, yeah, yeah. No late leaving.
• 53:19
  Oh, sorry, guys, I'm going to go for a second.
• 53:21
  An hour late leaving Heathrow because the plane in front of us
• 53:24
  heard it had malfunctions, had to turn around and come back,
• 53:27
  and they want to get many people off that as they could onto my
• 53:29
  flight. So my flight was packed, which
• 53:31
  isn't normally. And then we get to New Jersey
• 53:33
  and we're going above Newark and they'd had some sort of problem,
• 53:35
  the signalling stuff on the ground.
• 53:37
  So everybody been circling for like, you know, an hour sort of
• 53:40
  thing. And then the pilot comes on the
• 53:41
  radio very cheerfully and goes, So ladies and gentlemen, just to
• 53:44
  let you know, we've got about 10 minutes or so left of emergency
• 53:47
  fuel. So if it's more than 10 minutes
• 53:49
  off to go to a different airport and land there 10 minutes later.
• 53:52
  So we're out of emergency fuel. So we're going to go to whatever
• 53:55
  the name of the airport was close by and we'll land there.
• 53:59
  We'll be, you know, so off we flew, landed, landed.
• 54:02
  He's like, we're not going to even get out the plane guys.
• 54:04
  He's like, they're going to come straight out, refuelers back in
• 54:06
  the air and 15 minutes. So an hour later we take off
• 54:12
  everyone's oh Christ, Saks, you know, but never mind, it's fine.
• 54:16
  So finally we land in Newark and we land fine and we're taxiing
• 54:19
  towards the hangar and then we hit a gate that had fallen off
• 54:23
  the back of a truck and the plane just ran straight over
• 54:26
  that. So we then sat there for another
• 54:28
  hour plus while he checked the tyre wasn't damaged on the plane
• 54:31
  and everything. So yeah, I was like 4 hours late
• 54:33
  getting there. They can.
• 54:34
  Do that once we're off the plane.
• 54:37
  No, they were really paranoid. It was like, no, no, we can't
• 54:39
  let him be off the plane. We need to make sure it's all
• 54:40
  safe and secure and yeah. Couldn't slow down the wings.
• 54:46
  No, I joked. I think when we talked about
• 54:48
  this last year on the show, it's like being in Die Hard movie.
• 54:50
  It's like we're out of fuel. We've hit something.
• 54:52
  It's just like, OK, great. Yeah, and myself and Mallory in
• 54:56
  the pub. Just you can imagine the many
• 54:59
  beers we had in the time Rich was bouncing around.
• 55:02
  I got I got to the Legions Gone Hotel at half midnight.
• 55:05
  I think I was already in bed. Was it?
• 55:09
  The two of you are fast asleep. Yeah, I just came in.
• 55:12
  Yeah, just snoring away the two of you.
• 55:13
  So that was great. Oh.
• 55:17
  They spoon each other. I have a bed to myself.
• 55:19
  Oh yeah, I hit people in my sleep to myself.
• 55:29
  Because I've been poorly, I was sleeping on the sofa the last
• 55:31
  couple of nights. I didn't want to give my wife
• 55:32
  anything. And I punched somebody in a
• 55:34
  dream last night and almost broke my hand on the little bed,
• 55:36
  the little table in the living room because I just punched
• 55:39
  that. It's like.
• 55:42
  Thankfully you don't have a glass table.
• 55:43
  Yeah, yes. Glass tables that that wouldn't
• 55:47
  be good with it, right? There's.
• 55:53
  A. Bunch more other stuff, you can
• 55:56
  check the schedule for that. There's the Purple Gang gang at
• 55:58
  9:00. That should be crazy if you make
• 56:01
  it that far. You know, The thing is 9:00
• 56:06
  doesn't seem late, but for us, that's middle of the night, our
• 56:12
  time. So that's where you have to try
• 56:15
  and acclimatise. And if you manage to stay up
• 56:18
  till 11:00 on the first night or two, it's a it's a big bonus, a
• 56:22
  big bonus. And then the legions condes will
• 56:26
  will actually on that Friday night we'll be setting up after
• 56:31
  our life. We're a busy Friday.
• 56:34
  Friday when you said when the live 1 was like oh God it's such
• 56:38
  a long day. That's why I said if you guys
• 56:40
  are all right with it, I'm fine with it.
• 56:42
  Yeah, well, it was either that or don't do it.
• 56:44
  So, you know, I thought it would be nice to do it and but I think
• 56:50
  we've we've streamlined it a bit rich the first year.
• 56:53
  Or the first year I embarrassed myself.
• 56:55
  I took about four hours, set my slide of the table up.
• 56:57
  Yeah, every else had gone. And the rest, Yeah, Last year I
• 57:00
  think it was just over an. Hour I was trying to
• 57:02
  individually price every single head with the.
• 57:05
  I was, yeah, I was an idiot. I learned a valuable lesson last
• 57:08
  year. It was just like all heads of
• 57:09
  this much. There you go.
• 57:11
  Yeah. And yes, that's fun.
• 57:15
  And will you be helping Mark or anything going on or?
• 57:19
  He's not asked, but I'm more than happy to do so.
• 57:22
  Yeah, yeah, very good. And you told me that you have
• 57:27
  some exclusive parts or? Yeah, available on tables.
• 57:31
  So I've I work with John Luca. So these will be available very
• 57:37
  limited run of these. So it comes as a set.
• 57:40
  So it'll be the pauldrons, the helmets, and then there's a
• 57:43
  head. I was going to say helmets
• 57:45
  again. No, it's just one helmet, one
• 57:46
  head, sets of pauldrons. So I'm going to paint those up
• 57:50
  ready for Legions Con. So they'll be yeah, they'll be
• 57:54
  available on Max table. Any.
• 57:57
  Particular colour flame flame coming out of this or.
• 58:00
  And yeah, flame on top there. Yeah.
• 58:01
  I'm thinking maybe something to to fit in the the build.
• 58:08
  What the Hell's the word I'm looking for here?
• 58:11
  No, the Knights from Oh. The crossroads stuff.
• 58:16
  No the crossroads stuff. No, the Knights from last year.
• 58:18
  The building Knights. Oh, the.
• 58:20
  Armoury Knights There we go with some of the armoury Knights or
• 58:24
  maybe just a glossy black to to fit the vampire look really.
• 58:29
  So that's the idea sort of thing to really hopefully make the
• 58:34
  flames pop. So that's the idea anyway.
• 58:38
  So I just wanted to see the difference.
• 58:40
  Yeah, unhelmeted head then here. Yeah, I.
• 58:43
  Really like these. They're good.
• 58:45
  So I just wanted pauldrons that kind of covered the torso a bit
• 58:48
  more, gave it a bit more width and presence.
• 58:51
  So all All in all, it's going to be quite a kind of tall and
• 58:54
  broad set. So yeah, those will be.
• 58:57
  Do you have? Do you have any prints in hand
• 58:59
  yet or? Not yet, no.
• 59:01
  So Mark sent them out yesterday or the day before.
• 59:04
  It's Tuesdays. There's yeah.
• 59:05
  The day before, Not so yesterday, Monday.
• 59:08
  So I got a text from Royal Mail earlier today saying that
• 59:11
  they're on their way, so hopefully they'll be here by
• 59:14
  yeah before the end of the week and then I can get those done
• 59:17
  ASAP. Very cool, very cool.
• 59:20
  A good idea with the honorary Knights?
• 59:21
  Do they? Because so many people bought
• 59:23
  Armoury Knights last year, yeah. But they're going to want a lot
• 59:26
  ahead, yeah. Just to diversify really, I did
• 59:30
  them, I painted something over the weekend that looked like the
• 59:32
  red ones anyway, so I think I've got that one nailed down in
• 59:36
  terms of colour scheme. So.
• 59:37
  But again, we'll see maybe just more muted metal colours and
• 59:40
  then the flames will pop a bit more really.
• 59:43
  So that's the more draw of the build, but it's meant to look at
• 59:47
  iconic anyway, so. If only you knew somebody you
• 59:50
  could do like ready orange, yellowy sort of flame colours.
• 59:54
  That's a flame effect, yeah. If only, if only.
• 59:59
  So yeah, yeah, that's the plan. That's the plan with those.
• 1:00:04
  So, so I'm excited. It's to bring something.
• 1:00:06
  Yeah, that's cool to have something exclusive and new.
• 1:00:09
  Is Mark on to paint paint any as well or?
• 1:00:11
  I don't think so. Just maybe so Mark and I've been
• 1:00:15
  working together quite a bit. I've been commissioning quite a
• 1:00:18
  few things from John Luca, a few things from Jason Rodriguez.
• 1:00:22
  So Max got some exclusive parts from my my relationship with him
• 1:00:27
  there as well. So this one that he's painted up
• 1:00:29
  recently that he's not shown at all and I think that'll be a
• 1:00:32
  popular 1 so. Very cool.
• 1:00:36
  So I don't think he's not revealed that it's all yet.
• 1:00:38
  So I keep poking him being like you need to take pictures, but
• 1:00:41
  the man's like a painting factor right now.
• 1:00:43
  So he sent me a picture yesterday saying if you don't
• 1:00:46
  hear back from me call 911, which won't do any good here.
• 1:00:51
  So. Yeah, so all I saw was a bunch
• 1:00:54
  of dwarf heads being painted so and the machine.
• 1:00:59
  Yeah, I boxed him the other day. Yeah, it's awesome stuff.
• 1:01:04
  He messaged me going do you want your stuff before Legions con?
• 1:01:07
  Just, you know, save me. I'm to carry them over.
• 1:01:09
  That's fine. Yeah, Yeah, I know how much
• 1:01:11
  stuff you're going to be taking. Yeah.
• 1:01:14
  It's tricky part. Yeah, I am.
• 1:01:15
  I am on the verge of paying for the extra bag at this point.
• 1:01:20
  Just admit defeat in advance. Maybe just.
• 1:01:23
  Give me the recording equipment. Bag on the way back maybe.
• 1:01:26
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, I, I think I can fit
• 1:01:30
  everything in, but yeah, I don't think, I don't think I'd be able
• 1:01:34
  to fit in everything in on the way back, even if I just buy a
• 1:01:36
  small amount of stuff. So yeah.
• 1:01:38
  Or whether it's help, you need some.
• 1:01:40
  So I've got two big bags. Oh, nice, nice.
• 1:01:44
  And it would be remiss of us if we didn't mention our own
• 1:01:46
  exclusive head sculpts when we talk about head sculpts as well.
• 1:01:48
  So don't forget everybody, your allegiance has a 12 because
• 1:01:51
  Green's not anyone that got slightly carried away with
• 1:01:53
  commissioning stuff this year. So we have 12 exclusive head
• 1:01:57
  sculpts and an exclusive companion beast as well.
• 1:02:01
  Yeah, that I guess. But I guess.
• 1:02:04
  Yeah, man, I got one into paint, didn't you?
• 1:02:10
  I did. Yes.
• 1:02:11
  Mr Calvo. I asked him if he'd paint me,
• 1:02:14
  print me a few. And yeah, I've painted a couple.
• 1:02:17
  Well, I'm in the process of painting a couple.
• 1:02:20
  Very cool. So that's awesome.
• 1:02:24
  I'm glad that SO Anthony had painted 1 so we could show it
• 1:02:28
  off, which was awesome, but also be cool to have a couple of
• 1:02:31
  painted ones on the table for Mal.
• 1:02:35
  Or maybe not on the table. Maybe they're just for you, Mal,
• 1:02:37
  I don't know. Yeah, I was.
• 1:02:38
  I was going to sell them. There you go.
• 1:02:43
  Mal doesn't part with these with these stuff.
• 1:02:47
  He always has a price, everybody.
• 1:02:49
  He always. They won't be coming with me.
• 1:02:51
  They're they're a bit, they've got delicate little toes.
• 1:02:59
  Don't be saying that people won't buy them then.
• 1:03:01
  Well, slightly different having to get them internationally
• 1:03:06
  together, you know, cross country so.
• 1:03:10
  Fair enough, fair enough, right? Eh, That brings us into the
• 1:03:16
  actual Legions Con days itself. Saturday.
• 1:03:19
  So, Rich, what's the advice for Saturday morning?
• 1:03:23
  Q And we kind of mentioned this a bit last year.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah, so. We should ask Queen and Megs
• 1:03:27
  first. What what what what do you guys
• 1:03:30
  think you you want to do first? I'm.
• 1:03:33
  Going to go into the main. I think we're going to go into
• 1:03:35
  the main. Hall Yeah, we're going to go for
• 1:03:36
  the parts that, as you guys have said before, there's only a
• 1:03:40
  finite amount of of custom parts, so prioritise those.
• 1:03:47
  I want to go to your table because I've said before that I
• 1:03:50
  want to get parts made by my friends or it feels a bit weird
• 1:03:53
  that I'm getting stuff in America from you guys.
• 1:03:57
  Yeah, don't worry. So I want to do that.
• 1:04:03
  You've got some tables. You've got to go to Curtis and
• 1:04:06
  Dallas table and Tanya Table straight away.
• 1:04:12
  Stuff like Cory Shop and stuff. I think it's nice.
• 1:04:14
  That's quite good. Cory stuff is ice.
• 1:04:17
  I think I've already pre-ordered like 12 things from Cory.
• 1:04:22
  Cheats, I want to go to Joseph Connor's table as well.
• 1:04:28
  Soft goods and the suggestion man selling this year and they
• 1:04:33
  so there's yeah there's I think the problem is there's so much
• 1:04:37
  there that you're going to stop all the time.
• 1:04:40
  So I think beforehand I'm going to put all this together of the
• 1:04:44
  tables I want to get to as a priority having gone to into and
• 1:04:48
  hopefully I'll be able to kind of tick those boxes some of the
• 1:04:53
  Legion stuff already. Yeah go from there.
• 1:04:56
  Really. So there's too many people to
• 1:04:58
  name. So that was the content for me.
• 1:05:02
  John, this is all good. That's why I asked him.
• 1:05:05
  I thought, you know why double up here?
• 1:05:08
  Yeah, Poor sick throat. Yeah, there's so many talented
• 1:05:12
  people in this community. And as the as the.
• 1:05:14
  Customizer yourself. What I found I found extremely
• 1:05:17
  interesting the first time I went and even subsequently, is
• 1:05:21
  other customizers just looking at their stuff close up, not
• 1:05:24
  just pictures on the Internet, like Eric Miller is right beside
• 1:05:28
  Noah Pratt. You know, we've seen the
• 1:05:30
  pictures of their stuff online. You know, it's just as good in
• 1:05:33
  hand. Yeah, that's crazy to see that.
• 1:05:36
  You know, I think that's that's the kind of stuff that really
• 1:05:42
  blows your mind. I was talking degree about it
• 1:05:44
  last night. I think one of the main things
• 1:05:47
  that I'm looking forward to in ages can't obviously, apart from
• 1:05:50
  like meeting people in person sort of thing is, is shopping
• 1:05:55
  for stuff in person because obviously we it's always online,
• 1:05:59
  isn't it? But it's actually being able to
• 1:06:00
  shop in person and like this, this is most like it's obviously
• 1:06:07
  part part of the hobbies and getting, but it's it's mostly a
• 1:06:11
  Christmas shopping trip for me for Gree.
• 1:06:13
  I get to buy all in Greece Christmas stuff.
• 1:06:16
  But for years I've been able to do it online because you only
• 1:06:18
  like stuff that I can get online.
• 1:06:21
  Nice to be able to do it in person and like pick up stuff
• 1:06:25
  and look at them bigger on a shelf and, and all of it really.
• 1:06:30
  I'm really excited and like all these different parts and.
• 1:06:33
  So am I Yeah, it is that kind of face to face interaction, isn't
• 1:06:39
  it? Like there's nobody that I think
• 1:06:41
  we've all said that maybe in the past that we know people that
• 1:06:45
  have seen our collection go, oh, that's nice.
• 1:06:47
  And then walk away again, there's no real engagement,
• 1:06:50
  engagement with it. So to have that face to face, I
• 1:06:53
  think that's one thing I'm not struggle with, but it'll kind of
• 1:06:58
  overwhelm me initially of everyone in the same room
• 1:07:01
  sharing one passion, that's the one thing that really draws you
• 1:07:05
  together. So, yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:08
  It's weird going to an event. So certainly I found it weird
• 1:07:11
  anyway where you want to stop and look at every table.
• 1:07:14
  You go to a Comic Con or something in the UK.
• 1:07:16
  Like why? I'm not bothered about those six
• 1:07:17
  art tables or someone selling a print.
• 1:07:20
  But you know, allegiance is everything.
• 1:07:21
  Even if it is a print, it would be by Trevor or Nate.
• 1:07:24
  So you do find yourself looking at that.
• 1:07:26
  Yeah. I totally agree with you guys.
• 1:07:29
  It's it's about the main room first.
• 1:07:30
  If anyone anybody has anything they want to get, as we on very
• 1:07:34
  sensibly said, make a list, check it twice and then maybe
• 1:07:40
  pick 3 tables and charge around to those and then take your time
• 1:07:43
  looking around everything else. This is this is where I'm really
• 1:07:45
  funny because I give the advice about the armoury and doing that
• 1:07:49
  there I also did a list for the main room and then completely
• 1:07:52
  forgot all of it and just was like.
• 1:07:56
  It's a Mao. You need a spreadsheet that you
• 1:07:59
  can then like, have on your phone and also a picture
• 1:08:03
  gallery. So screenshots.
• 1:08:04
  See if Brenda, this time of year.
• 1:08:05
  Yeah. I've got, I've got like a note
• 1:08:09
  and then pictures like the Queen sent me pictures of circled ones
• 1:08:12
  that he liked, not. As she's organised, because I'm
• 1:08:15
  not. Yeah, I've got a gallery called
• 1:08:18
  Legions Con 25 pieces to look out for, which currently has 255
• 1:08:23
  screenshots in it. Now I need to thin that down a
• 1:08:26
  little bit because I, you know, I can't afford that.
• 1:08:29
  Hopefully it'll naturally thin down by people buying them under
• 1:08:32
  your under your nose. Hopefully, yeah, yeah.
• 1:08:36
  But yeah, no, definitely, definitely go to the main hall
• 1:08:38
  1st and definitely, yeah, get the customer stuff you're
• 1:08:41
  interested in, yeah. It's what you said before, like
• 1:08:44
  with having seen pieces in hand, this one thing like I tell you
• 1:08:49
  constantly that I'm really, really bad at taking photos.
• 1:08:52
  I'm just, I don't have an eye for it.
• 1:08:54
  I don't have, I'm not very patient when it comes to.
• 1:08:57
  And I do feel like I get annoyed, like that's a better
• 1:09:00
  pick. That's a better piece than the
• 1:09:02
  picture reflects. So hopefully for people to see
• 1:09:04
  my work in hand, I think yeah, if I get enough pieces painted
• 1:09:08
  so. Really pay attention to Trevor.
• 1:09:11
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've. Been trying to get you into that
• 1:09:17
  element of it just to take photos for me on my behalf.
• 1:09:19
  He's been trying to get me into customization and photos for
• 1:09:23
  years and I think it's starting to happen and I'm afraid.
• 1:09:26
  And you start going goes and then everybody listen then.
• 1:09:30
  So it's subliminal messaging. You've been playing the tape
• 1:09:32
  next to your ear when you're asleep.
• 1:09:36
  Pretty much. I don't push people my.
• 1:09:38
  Sleep you can make soft goods come on like.
• 1:09:45
  Yeah, would save a lot on chipping if you could.
• 1:09:50
  I've said if you can clear that corner of the office and get me
• 1:09:54
  a desk then I will not. Follow my stuff Anymore order
• 1:09:59
  Skip. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:01
  Well, I'll be sending some soft kids.
• 1:10:02
  See you hopefully tomorrow if not Thursday.
• 1:10:04
  We sell the stuff from Joseph Connors, which Brett has very
• 1:10:07
  kindly forwarded on, has arrived today.
• 1:10:10
  Thank you, Richard. Thank you, Brett as well.
• 1:10:12
  So. That's all right, no problem.
• 1:10:14
  My other recommendation to people, if for some reason you
• 1:10:16
  haven't seen the custom piece that you really want, but you
• 1:10:18
  like pins, then do still go to the main room because the
• 1:10:21
  Legions Con exclusive pins are in that room as well and they
• 1:10:24
  never have that many of those. So they do sell out fairly
• 1:10:27
  quickly. So again, yeah, get the pins if
• 1:10:30
  you want to. And this year, it's the
• 1:10:33
  Crossroads pins, isn't it? Yeah.
• 1:10:37
  And that's the they didn't announce any other ones for the
• 1:10:40
  second lot of exclusives. No, I think there was 5.
• 1:10:43
  So is it just like a generic legions comp in as well?
• 1:10:46
  Yeah, there's always yeah, but I think it's always a little bit
• 1:10:49
  different every year. I think and then obviously a lot
• 1:10:53
  of the year on intern as well, no.
• 1:10:55
  No, no, it's not saying no. It's OK.
• 1:10:59
  Yeah, fair enough. Then you get on the nice backing
• 1:11:02
  card. I mean, obviously I did what Mel
• 1:11:05
  did there is display it on the pin board.
• 1:11:07
  But if you just like it in the packet itself with the art, it's
• 1:11:12
  nicely done. Yeah, I've still got because I'm
• 1:11:15
  really rubbish it excuse all the wrath at rustling.
• 1:11:19
  Jesus. All right, Steve Bouchotti, come
• 1:11:21
  on. I've still got last year's all
• 1:11:25
  so it usually comes on something like that.
• 1:11:28
  Yeah, we'll do again this year. They've already shown something.
• 1:11:31
  Yeah. Well, I'm surprised you didn't
• 1:11:35
  Fast forward when they talked about pins, Rich.
• 1:11:38
  No, no, I'm a good podcast host. I listen to stuff.
• 1:11:41
  I take it in so I can feed the information back through on our
• 1:11:43
  show. If anyone believes that, they
• 1:11:46
  don't know me. But, and my wife is going to
• 1:11:52
  kill me. We're slagging us off this week.
• 1:11:54
  That was good. They were, yes.
• 1:11:56
  As I needed something. Yeah, as I needed something to
• 1:11:58
  do was. I've been on the sofa.
• 1:12:00
  I'll. I put that on.
• 1:12:01
  And within a minute they were saying how they'd never managed
• 1:12:04
  to get through one of our episodes because they fell
• 1:12:06
  asleep due to our soothing voices.
• 1:12:08
  They tried to claim was like, oh really?
• 1:12:10
  Ha ha ha. That's apparently complimented.
• 1:12:14
  It really is. Apparently John sounds like a
• 1:12:17
  golf commentator so they kept mentioning that and playing A7
• 1:12:21
  Island, so the I. Have watched a lot of golf in my
• 1:12:23
  life, fortunately so, but fair enough.
• 1:12:28
  I'll take it as a compliment, you know, And yeah, there wants
• 1:12:34
  to talk, I would say. But yeah, I think they mean us.
• 1:12:41
  We'd love. For sure, but watch that show
• 1:12:43
  because there's a tour of Steve Bouchotti's tent.
• 1:12:46
  A. Video tour clips and but yeah,
• 1:12:49
  any. Further info on whether he was
• 1:12:51
  just thrown out of his house or what.
• 1:12:53
  No, I think he's just having yet another midlife crisis.
• 1:12:57
  Thing over. Most part thing appears to be
• 1:12:59
  over yes so he's living 20 feet from his back door in a tent
• 1:13:02
  with ATV and a PlayStation and he's building Star Wars Lego in
• 1:13:06
  there and this sort of stuff it's.
• 1:13:07
  Yeah, how does he do with those hands?
• 1:13:09
  The Lego I don't know but he opened the door on the video to
• 1:13:12
  his his tent and he had a camp bed there with a he man duvet
• 1:13:15
  cover which was hilarious. This is just a bit.
• 1:13:18
  This is just a very elaborate bit.
• 1:13:21
  If it's a hoax, he's doing well. It's just AI I'm sure.
• 1:13:27
  It's not so she's not doing well.
• 1:13:32
  Yeah, yeah, maybe you'd bring the 10th to legions, can pitch
• 1:13:34
  it in the car park or whatever by the fire.
• 1:13:38
  Save my save him a few quid, yeah.
• 1:13:45
  We did not get the Legions exclusive rate for our hotel
• 1:13:48
  room. No.
• 1:13:50
  Oh, really? Oh, you didn't?
• 1:13:52
  Yeah, so. For any of the nights or.
• 1:13:56
  No, none of them. No, no.
• 1:13:58
  So a little bit more expensive than we were expecting.
• 1:14:00
  Yeah, have a. Have have a word with them when
• 1:14:02
  you get there, they might honour that because as we've got like
• 1:14:05
  98% of the hotel or wherever it is then.
• 1:14:09
  Snowskin off their nose or it shouldn't be anyway, so we we
• 1:14:13
  got the room from Jay James Denovaez.
• 1:14:16
  Sorry if I butchered your name there James, but yeah so he's
• 1:14:19
  been he can't say he bought a post out on socials and then I
• 1:14:23
  jumped. Obviously there's more posts
• 1:14:25
  come out since then, as you guys have shared with me this past
• 1:14:29
  weekend. So, yeah, so I'd need to talk to
• 1:14:34
  someone because I've agreed that I'll pick up some pieces for
• 1:14:37
  them, but it makes no sense of me taking them all the way back
• 1:14:39
  to Wales to post them back to America.
• 1:14:41
  So yeah, I need to talk to someone who might give me a hand
• 1:14:44
  there. Very grateful.
• 1:14:47
  Rich. Rich knows multiple people.
• 1:14:48
  I know people, yeah. Talk to me there.
• 1:14:52
  Cheers. Rich Welsh mafia snail there.
• 1:14:55
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 1:14:57
  It's like tip the ear, we'll go and chat about it.
• 1:14:59
  Yeah. We'll do that.
• 1:15:02
  Yeah. I'll spill a drink over them,
• 1:15:04
  you know, I mean. I'll punch them in your sleep.
• 1:15:09
  Yeah, well, no, that means they're in my bedroom, which is
• 1:15:12
  big. Oh my goodness.
• 1:15:20
  What I would say to people as well, going back to the the main
• 1:15:22
  floor thing and like I can't, I genuinely can't emphasise this
• 1:15:25
  enough, is just walk around it. Just keep going if you think
• 1:15:28
  you've seen everything. And guys, particularly if you,
• 1:15:31
  you won't have seen everything. No.
• 1:15:33
  No. So just go round and round and
• 1:15:35
  round and you'll just keep seeing cool stuff.
• 1:15:38
  And talk to the people at the tables.
• 1:15:39
  I mean, absolutely. I don't think we need to tell
• 1:15:41
  you guys that. But, you know, just talk to the
• 1:15:44
  people that'd be happy to talk to you.
• 1:15:46
  Well, they really will. Yeah, but don't.
• 1:15:47
  And then they'll be like, can you leave now?
• 1:15:52
  Leave me alone. Well if you talk to them for an
• 1:15:54
  hour then don't buy anything that might be an issue.
• 1:15:56
  But otherwise yeah it's fine. But people happily chat to you
• 1:15:58
  if you don't buy anything, that's no problem at all.
• 1:16:02
  Yeah, the show people run away from our table if they see me, I
• 1:16:05
  think. John's got the gift of the gab
• 1:16:11
  salesman. It has to be safe.
• 1:16:15
  It's impressive. What's you mean?
• 1:16:19
  I'm just going to. I'm going to clean that up with
• 1:16:21
  some different, you know, would you just go?
• 1:16:24
  And that's impressive, that's what.
• 1:16:27
  I'm saying last year I didn't even think about it.
• 1:16:29
  I just automatically picked up the black light torture and he
• 1:16:31
  was away and just started doing all the stuff that he'd been
• 1:16:32
  doing. It was just ingrained in my
• 1:16:34
  head. This is how you sell the stuff.
• 1:16:35
  John's Painter. Got the power monkey.
• 1:16:38
  Monkey see, monkey do. The Malzy organ grinder in the
• 1:16:45
  background. He's.
• 1:16:47
  In hungover, but actually he's controlling everything.
• 1:16:50
  Shots right now where you're both positioned.
• 1:16:52
  It looks like John could be a puppet.
• 1:16:53
  Must there? Pretty much how it goes they.
• 1:17:00
  Don't even know the sides of the camera.
• 1:17:04
  It's on mirror. They can't do that.
• 1:17:06
  I'm not intelligent enough for that kind of stuff.
• 1:17:09
  Oh no, bit of advice you guys as well.
• 1:17:11
  Don't forget people are in the halls.
• 1:17:13
  Yes. Yeah.
• 1:17:15
  It's like otherwise. You miss out on a giant rhino
• 1:17:18
  hippo horse thing. Hippo Dwarf centre John.
• 1:17:21
  Come on, get it right. Hurry.
• 1:17:25
  Yeah. Would you then come back and
• 1:17:26
  smiling like a dad with a newborn child and just crazily
• 1:17:29
  like baby going, Oh my God, I got this because I didn't think
• 1:17:32
  they were there, but it turns out they were in the hall.
• 1:17:33
  So. Yeah.
• 1:17:35
  The other thing, yeah, that's very.
• 1:17:38
  Cool stuff. Yeah, a couple of them have
• 1:17:40
  moved into the main hall this year, actually, including the
• 1:17:42
  guys where I got the hippo dwarf Centaur from.
• 1:17:44
  But yeah, there's some some good stuff out there in the halls.
• 1:17:48
  And there is actually some stuff in the same room as the Armoury
• 1:17:52
  Experience which I kind of completely missed.
• 1:17:56
  Yes, yeah, that's, yeah, that's all the Horsemen sort of related
• 1:18:01
  stuff. So like Chris is there with his
• 1:18:04
  D13 stuff, Nate Barch is there with his prints, slideshow are
• 1:18:09
  there this year. All the Glios guys are in there.
• 1:18:12
  Yeah, but it's easy to miss that because you're going around the
• 1:18:14
  armoury focusing on that, and then you've just walked out and
• 1:18:17
  it's like, Oh no, there's the tables.
• 1:18:19
  I could look at. Yeah, you appreciate what you've
• 1:18:22
  got together and you just walk out.
• 1:18:24
  Yeah, well, I didn't even do the armoury in that room last year,
• 1:18:27
  did I say? Can go in there.
• 1:18:29
  You know what else is in the hall, Rich?
• 1:18:32
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear.
• 1:18:35
  I can hear the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 1:18:40
  Lips are moving. Impressive.
• 1:18:44
  The puppeteer at it again. Just glad you keep the
• 1:18:48
  marionette and not the yes. You are, and then God.
• 1:18:54
  It genuinely is that legions can I hear it like that keeps me
• 1:18:57
  awake at night. It's just it's in the hall of
• 1:19:01
  our little room, you know the bit between the bed and the
• 1:19:04
  bathroom just here, which is while it's squealing every
• 1:19:07
  night. What makes you in the bubble
• 1:19:11
  wrap? Make sure you check out the the
• 1:19:23
  displays too in the hallway. So obviously they've got the big
• 1:19:25
  figures. Get photographed with those.
• 1:19:26
  They're awesome, but also they'll have a new wave out as
• 1:19:29
  well and probably some of the older waves as well behind the
• 1:19:31
  glass. I get some pics with those.
• 1:19:32
  It is cool. It's like this whole, well, the
• 1:19:35
  whole hotel kind of becomes legions con but and they're
• 1:19:38
  moving, of course, they're moving displays out into the
• 1:19:41
  lobby area this year, which that's the first so.
• 1:19:45
  I missed that. Oh yeah, out near where the bar
• 1:19:48
  is. Yeah, that's what it sounded
• 1:19:50
  like. Oh, I wonder if they're talking
• 1:19:51
  about the other lobby area, of course, where they usually put
• 1:19:54
  it. Yeah, that they're referred to
• 1:19:56
  that as a lobby areas. Where?
• 1:19:58
  Yeah, yeah. So yeah, we'll see.
• 1:20:01
  We'll see. But yeah, yeah.
• 1:20:02
  Then there's like corridor and. And then they could do what they
• 1:20:06
  did last year. There could be a mystery reveal
• 1:20:08
  figure in the in the display as well.
• 1:20:11
  Oh, Rich will be maybe eagle light this year.
• 1:20:13
  I bet you they won't do it this year in terms putting it in the
• 1:20:16
  in the like it even if they have one they won't do.
• 1:20:19
  Everyone's expecting it. We'll just yeah.
• 1:20:21
  Well, they've been hinting at more stuff of an A4 Legions con,
• 1:20:24
  so there's there's hope, there's hope.
• 1:20:26
  What would be a really good idea to hide it, and if I was Jeremy,
• 1:20:31
  I'd do this is put it in the one of the shelves at the back of
• 1:20:34
  the bar. Then only the really cool people
• 1:20:40
  are too. I didn't stoke Ziller's.
• 1:20:47
  Yeah, it's true. No, he is cool too.
• 1:20:49
  Not everyone is cool. I'm just this message.
• 1:20:51
  But no, no, he's cooler drinks. 3 takes, right?
• 1:20:54
  Yeah. Yeah, we got it, We got it.
• 1:20:57
  Well done. Sorry.
• 1:21:00
  Didn't occur to me for a second. You're making that bad a pun,
• 1:21:02
  John. Apologies.
• 1:21:05
  But yeah, you could tip the barman, you know?
• 1:21:07
  Can I see what's over there behind the whiskey?
• 1:21:11
  It's $10. Yeah.
• 1:21:13
  Another massive piece of advice. The ground floor on the left is
• 1:21:16
  1. OK.
• 1:21:17
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's confusing about.
• 1:21:21
  That bit. Is there a zero No.
• 1:21:23
  No, no. No, no.
• 1:21:25
  So you kind of get there fairly quickly as a result, but.
• 1:21:27
  Still, yeah, we'll see. When you're on the 3rd floor,
• 1:21:31
  you're actually on the second floor.
• 1:21:33
  Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 1:21:35
  OK, Yeah. Yeah, but you'll just know your
• 1:21:38
  room number will begin with whatever.
• 1:21:42
  Yeah. That's the trick.
• 1:21:44
  Yeah, and Speaking of beer and alcohol, to buy that outside of
• 1:21:49
  the venue would be recommended or buy some of it outside of the
• 1:21:51
  venue. Again, you've got fridge in your
• 1:21:54
  room, pop it in there. I mean the bar is great, but
• 1:21:56
  it's very busy at times. Yeah, we were thinking of if we
• 1:21:59
  could bring some. There's bast season spice drum.
• 1:22:04
  It's made of seaweed. It's bloody good stuff.
• 1:22:06
  So I could shine. Yeah.
• 1:22:09
  And you don't drink really, dear.
• 1:22:10
  And that's like. I have a 2 drink rule but just
• 1:22:14
  generally but just generally I don't drink.
• 1:22:16
  So we might try and bring some of that, but it's.
• 1:22:20
  Oh nice. 2 drink rule. That's a good idea.
• 1:22:24
  It just, it's served me well in life mostly.
• 1:22:27
  Because I totally agree with you.
• 1:22:30
  I have that. To stick to.
• 1:22:37
  Yeah, just like I think I just grew up in a family that didn't
• 1:22:40
  like, even though my mum's from Ireland, it didn't, I didn't, I
• 1:22:43
  didn't grow up in a family that bank, really.
• 1:22:53
  Oh. We're not all alcohol.
• 1:22:55
  Yeah, I was going. To say so, John, tell us more
• 1:22:57
  about your alcoholic country. Yeah.
• 1:23:02
  Sorry, yeah. I think the drunk drunkest I've
• 1:23:06
  ever been was during our wedding food tasting.
• 1:23:09
  Where? They gave they give you wines to
• 1:23:11
  taste as well. And you weren't drinking the
• 1:23:14
  wine? No.
• 1:23:14
  So I drank your wine. Yeah, it was a lot of wine.
• 1:23:19
  It was really nice. So if the dessert.
• 1:23:22
  My dessert wasn't up to scratch. It didn't really matter.
• 1:23:25
  They were getting away with it. Yeah.
• 1:23:29
  I mean green like salad creams. He can't trust his palate.
• 1:23:34
  Salad cream shops. If I could get salad cream into
• 1:23:36
  the US somehow I would and grab sprain on people's food if they
• 1:23:39
  wanted to. Just take it into the salad
• 1:23:44
  cream. Yellow mayonnaise, I mean.
• 1:23:49
  The that's the. Could be more on appetising.
• 1:23:52
  It's worth, it's worth, even though it's a bit of an earlier
• 1:23:55
  start getting up and having yourself some breakfast in the
• 1:23:58
  breakfast room because it's actually quite tasty as well.
• 1:24:01
  There's a variety of things in there and but yeah, do some nice
• 1:24:05
  stuff as well. The bagels are good.
• 1:24:08
  You have to pay. For it, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:24:10
  it's. It's $20.00, but it's as much as
• 1:24:13
  you can eat. Set you up for the day?
• 1:24:14
  Essentially, yeah. Yeah, Rich, you, you kind of did
• 1:24:17
  it every second day or so you had.
• 1:24:19
  Just once, I think the last two years I've just done it, I think
• 1:24:22
  on the Friday morning each year sort of thing.
• 1:24:24
  And then just, but I should have done it during the other days.
• 1:24:26
  And now that the show's starting at 9 rather than 8, I'll
• 1:24:29
  probably do it on the other days as well.
• 1:24:32
  True. Yeah.
• 1:24:33
  Wasn't it nine last year? No, it's 8.
• 1:24:36
  Was it 8? They remember all complaining.
• 1:24:37
  Everyone was furious. OK.
• 1:24:39
  I couldn't remember. That was the previous year
• 1:24:42
  originally, so it goes on later this year.
• 1:24:45
  Did he change it for Sunday? Maybe.
• 1:24:47
  It's 9:00 to 6:00. On yeah, I know it's, I know
• 1:24:51
  it's different. This year, yeah.
• 1:24:54
  No, last year it was 8 and people got really fed up because
• 1:24:56
  the restaurant which serves breakfast doesn't open till 7.
• 1:24:59
  So people are like, oh, I've only got an hour to try and get
• 1:25:01
  in and sort everything out and what the Hell's going on sort of
• 1:25:04
  thing. So.
• 1:25:05
  There won't be a big problem for us guys really the same
• 1:25:07
  difference with it. So we'll be.
• 1:25:10
  We know exactly, yeah. Probably for lunch.
• 1:25:13
  You've got, I like their breakfast because they've got,
• 1:25:15
  they've got pancakes, they've got really crispy bacon and
• 1:25:17
  they've got Maple syrup. So I just have a stack.
• 1:25:18
  Of that. So they do.
• 1:25:21
  It's got the American breakfast sausages, which aren't real
• 1:25:24
  sausages, they're weird, but they're so tasty.
• 1:25:27
  They're really tasty. Yeah, they're really good.
• 1:25:29
  And the potatoes with fried onions and a bit of spice as
• 1:25:31
  well. And the bagels, as well as.
• 1:25:35
  Making me hungry here. Yeah, I must admit I'm hungry.
• 1:25:40
  I'm getting hungry. So.
• 1:25:43
  You might you might acclimatise to the time difference this
• 1:25:46
  year, Mal because you're. Going early, I must admit that's
• 1:25:49
  a little part of my thinking because last year I was wiped
• 1:25:53
  out. I you know.
• 1:25:55
  Yeah, every morning around I was like 6 seconds here, Mal getting
• 1:25:59
  up and going off for a walk. I'm just either going, well, the
• 1:26:04
  one day I hung out in the bathroom putting my figures
• 1:26:06
  together from the Armour experience and or I went and sat
• 1:26:10
  downstairs so I didn't disturb these guys, just sat in the
• 1:26:13
  lobby, so. What we should do is get some
• 1:26:15
  fake blood and just put your kind of on the ground beside
• 1:26:18
  Richard bed and then I'll I'll, I'll get up and wait.
• 1:26:22
  Rage, Rage to mouth. Just turn over about to sleep.
• 1:26:32
  He deserved it. Yeah.
• 1:26:35
  Oh yeah. If anyone's heard his snoring,
• 1:26:36
  they'd be like, yeah, by. The way I get this stick for
• 1:26:39
  snoring, you can hear that room. It is literally like chorus from
• 1:26:43
  one side. Yeah.
• 1:26:44
  It's not, it's not quiet sleep zone, is it?
• 1:26:46
  It's fair to say just. Whoever gets to sleep first gets
• 1:26:48
  to. Race sleep the races on Yeah.
• 1:26:52
  The snoring Choir. Yeah, it's.
• 1:26:55
  Have you guys got no game room all the way through or have you
• 1:26:58
  got have you got to swap because you've got one of the days
• 1:27:00
  later? Well.
• 1:27:01
  No, it's the same. It's the same room style so I'm
• 1:27:06
  assuming. That yeah, they'll you'll stay
• 1:27:08
  in the room then, Yeah. Like it's technically two
• 1:27:11
  different confirmations, but it's the same style room.
• 1:27:17
  It's not like we've booked a suite and then like a normal
• 1:27:20
  room. It's.
• 1:27:21
  They might usually be fine then yeah, they.
• 1:27:23
  Might get you to check in again, but they won't make you leave
• 1:27:25
  the room. It'll just be go and do your
• 1:27:27
  card, yeah. Go and do your card and you're
• 1:27:29
  key again. Yeah.
• 1:27:32
  Speaking of a climatizing to a climatizing time difference and
• 1:27:36
  all of it. So when we come back, we're back
• 1:27:38
  on the Tuesday quite early, aren't we?
• 1:27:40
  Not wishing the time away or anything.
• 1:27:42
  And then my friend has signed us up for a quiz TV show on the
• 1:27:47
  Friday. So I'm having to travel down to
• 1:27:49
  Cardiff Thursday and then we're doing a, a film the TV quiz
• 1:27:55
  show. So you know that'll.
• 1:27:58
  Be fun. Is that Welsh language?
• 1:27:59
  Yeah. It'll be a Welsh language one,
• 1:28:01
  yes. It's the first quiz show for
• 1:28:03
  like 5 years so I'm able might be able to recoup some of the
• 1:28:06
  money spent during the legions con there.
• 1:28:09
  So if I win the trial thing with my friend wouldn't bode well
• 1:28:14
  really. So I answered my questions, not
• 1:28:19
  so much. So we'll see.
• 1:28:22
  We'll see So. Oh, we'd have to get the
• 1:28:25
  subtitle version, so. There will be, there will be.
• 1:28:28
  I'll let you know. Cool, cool, awesome.
• 1:28:32
  So it's going to be more famous than us, I.
• 1:28:35
  Wouldn't go that far. Most people are more famous than
• 1:28:37
  those, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:28:40
  Yeah, yeah. Legions gone is the only time we
• 1:28:43
  have a chance of being anyway known, and it's still small in
• 1:28:48
  comparison to. Actually.
• 1:28:51
  Famous. So you guys going to be checking
• 1:28:53
  in the Dio builders out or anything?
• 1:28:55
  Or is that again like we struggle with just a space wise
• 1:28:57
  getting stuffed back? Space wise, definitely.
• 1:29:00
  You watched Legions Lounge didn't you?
• 1:29:02
  And there was someone, can't remember his name.
• 1:29:05
  He's done a lot of OR. Detour.
• 1:29:08
  Drug gizmo I think and he's done a lot of modern day like
• 1:29:13
  plastic. No, that was Dio Diabolic.
• 1:29:18
  He was high school customs or creations.
• 1:29:24
  So he does. They're plastic but they fit
• 1:29:26
  into each other really well. But they flat pack.
• 1:29:29
  Oh. So he's out in the hallway.
• 1:29:33
  So it's his, it's his first Legions concert.
• 1:29:36
  He's not been there before and they're slightly more modern, so
• 1:29:40
  like red brick, but I think he's hoping to do.
• 1:29:44
  He's doing a fantasy line, isn't?
• 1:29:45
  He's doing a fantasy line, but I don't know if it's a bit of a
• 1:29:47
  kicks, not a Kickstarter, but like, but yeah, he should be out
• 1:29:50
  in the hall. But they're Dios.
• 1:29:52
  They all fit together. They like they can clip
• 1:29:55
  together. So you can create like a really
• 1:29:56
  long street or talk like a tower or of flat buildings and stuff.
• 1:30:01
  But because they're made of Hardy plastic and they flat
• 1:30:04
  pack, that's probably the only type of diode that we could
• 1:30:06
  probably get home safely. When you say flat buildings, you
• 1:30:11
  mean flats as in tall buildings, not flat buildings as in
• 1:30:14
  demolished buildings. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:17
  Because there's things like, I know that like Drunk Gizmo does
• 1:30:22
  these incredible fountains and he's got diodes this year and
• 1:30:25
  tables and stuff, but they're foam and I'm like, there's no
• 1:30:28
  way that's going to get home. Managed the table.
• 1:30:31
  Didn't you mail? Yeah, I managed the table.
• 1:30:33
  Yeah, I wanted a fountain off him for a while, but yeah, just
• 1:30:37
  getting it, get it back where the table came apart so I could
• 1:30:42
  that's. Nice.
• 1:30:44
  That's manageable. Yeah, Right, guys.
• 1:30:47
  Well, it's going to be fun. Couple of more episodes than
• 1:30:52
  Legion. Are your legions left before
• 1:30:54
  legions gone and possibly live as well?
• 1:30:57
  Rich, we're going to line that up.
• 1:30:59
  We are. Yes, we've been.
• 1:31:00
  Do a live quiz. The weekend before.
• 1:31:03
  So yes, we'll, we'll send more details on when we have.
• 1:31:08
  Joined by Mal from his hotel room at Heathrow.
• 1:31:11
  We'll see how. We'll see how that works out
• 1:31:14
  with the Wi-Fi. Yeah, be using my my iPad and
• 1:31:19
  the hotel Wi-Fi. So we'll see how that goes, all
• 1:31:26
  right. Go on, the Megs.
• 1:31:28
  Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you.
• 1:31:30
  Can't wait to see us again. Yeah, you.
• 1:31:34
  You should. You should spend more time with
• 1:31:36
  Mal because you haven't met him first.
• 1:31:37
  You said that you should go straight and give Mal a hug.
• 1:31:39
  We will. We're being rich.
• 1:31:41
  Yeah. Yeah, we can collect.
• 1:31:43
  We can complete our your religious collection.
• 1:31:45
  Then I. Was like a fan of.
• 1:31:48
  Scotless, there we go. Oh, that's an idea for a Patreon
• 1:31:54
  world reward too. Conflict.
• 1:31:58
  Yeah, that's the exclusive of next year.
