Transcript

SPEAKER_06 0:16

You're a cow on mood? I am a cow on mood. Well, hello everybody. I was in the store the other day and a guy handed me a very nice pen that uh he picked up off the floor and he says, Is this yours? And I said, Let me have it a second. I wrote something on a piece of paper and it says, Yep, that's my handwriting, so it must be my pen. And that's fair. Totally fair. Uh apparently one of my passwords was compromised on the web, so I tried to change it to beef stew, but the app said it wasn't strong enough. I was hasty. I was on my way to Portland a couple of weeks ago going to a Ferlandia meeting, actually, and uh I noticed there was a big huge pot field not too far off from the freeway, and there were cows in the field, so I figured the stakes have never been higher.

SPEAKER_04 1:02

Oh Lord!

SPEAKER_06 1:04

And if you think swimming with dolphins is expensive, try swimming with sharks, it costs an arm and a leg. But enough of this insanity, let's get to our regular insanity. Well, greetings and Moobark Fluff to all the creatures in the potiverse. I am Barley, and you are listening to Barely Furcasting, featuring Tabe in the show that asks the question Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? Yes, yes. Right. Rain, TikTok, Chitaro, and Ziggy are patiently sitting here waiting. Moobark Fluff, and how are all of you? Ah, doing fantastic. So far so good. Moobark Fluff and doing somewhat well. Doing somewhat well. Doing the fluff, yeah. Tabin was here a second ago, but then a leaf blew by the window and he ran out. Uh he'll be right back. Oh, wait a minute. There he is. Okay. I see him running past the window. He's coming in the door. Hey, Tabin.

SPEAKER_02 2:11

Hey, yeah, there's I'm sorry, I got there's a leaf that I had it like go run after, and I did it, and now I'm back. Did you catch it? I was so close, I I reached out my posey to get and it just it just fluffed away. Just like a leaf that fluffs like a squirrel or something, and I actually have no idea what I'm talking about right now. But I just the course has it's a part three course, and I am making three on every wow, I am high there. Um so um it's a great day. Uh so but of course, of course, to to get us back on track, time for Jesse for a walk. How you should do about English. Um and uh two shout out, shout out to Kuya Fox, who recently said um that our podcast is their favorite podcast. Um they I only know because I uh they said it on Twitter or Blue Sky or something like that. Have they ever listened to a podcast? So maybe that's why it is their favorite. Um we were the only podcast they listened to and ours were their least favorite, I would be unhappy about it. So at least there's not that scenario going on. Um and also a shout out to Albrecht the Fox, who started listening to the show really recently and said that they love my voice, it's very comforting. Oh, like okay, well, thank you. But also they they said they really love the show so far and it's great, and they're gonna well just today they said they were gonna start at episode one, and I'm like, Oh, good, okay. But and I I gave some disclaimers. Yes, I'm glad.

SPEAKER_06 4:01

I'm glad.

SPEAKER_02 4:02

Um I I definitely gave disclaimers, so so that's great. Um, and their name will come up again a little bit later when we talk about media. So um anyway, those are my things that I have to say for the thing that just happened.

SPEAKER_06 4:18

Okay. Alright, awesome. Alright, so that takes us up to things that Tabin doesn't understand. Tabin, is there anything you don't understand? Um, life. What's life?

SPEAKER_02 4:30

Uh magazine. How much? 89 cents. Too much. That's tough. What's tough?

SPEAKER_04 4:40

Life No, that was a year. Oh. Oh, it's right off the party. Life. What's life? Magazine.

SPEAKER_07 4:53

How much? 89 cents. Too too much. That's tough. What's tough?

SPEAKER_06 5:03

Life. What oh no, that's enough. Okay, we're done with this.

SPEAKER_02 5:07

That's no way. Okay, now we know. Now we know. We are all caught up. There's a lot of things I don't understand actually, just within what just happened. But yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_06 5:17

Yes, exactly. Exactly. All right, well, that takes us up to the past today, and we do have a couple. Uh first, starting with Chitaro.

SPEAKER_03 5:35

Yeah, um, so so I have a slight change to something that I said during our selfish plug portion from season six, episode 20, which was just our last episode that just came out. I need to correct something that I said wrong. Okay. I said that Ferlandia's room block was open until the 3rd of May. That is not correct. It's really open until the 30th of April. Okay. I'm so sorry for the confusion, but make sure you get your your hotel rooms uh booked before the 30th of April. Otherwise, they're not in our block. How close is the room block to being full? We have about 25% of our room block still available.

SPEAKER_06 6:19

Oh, really? Okay.

SPEAKER_03 6:20

Yeah. So go out there and get your room. Of course, the unfortunate part is that they're all king-sized beds, but the king-sized rooms with single king-size beds also have a couch in them that is a height of bed that also holds two people. So technically, the king-size bed single still holds four people in the room. So uh so just so everybody knows.

SPEAKER_06 6:42

Uh also, let me make a quick reminder that the Good Furry Award nominations are open until June 30th, 2026, and the categories are Good Egg, Image, and Fertastic. Uh, they also have a Lifetime Achievement Award, but that's not open to nominations. So go to the Good Furry Award website, the Uncle Bear Publishing, to make your nominations. The link will be in the show notes. Tatum, do you have some past today?

SPEAKER_02 7:04

So, recently on the show, like the last previous episode, season six, episode 20, and on season six, episode um 16, I talked about immensely huge numbers and um barely asked uh last time, at after I talked about the one last time, what they were used for, and I said I would say some things about it on the next episode, and this is that next episode. So, in looking into this, lots of fun things actually came up that I wanted to talk about. So I will actually put this in, and instead of doing a story time for this episode, I will do just another math, just basically a part two from last time. So, um, all you first stay uh tuned and uh listen to me talk about that later.

SPEAKER_06 7:49

But now I think it's time we should center ourselves, zen out, and hear some affirmations from our resident guru Tabin.

SPEAKER_02 8:04

Whoa. So for any of you first that don't know, I do this thing on every episode, and I just drop my card. And I don't do that on every episode, but this one I did. So um, and after I pick up the card, it's a very special affirmations here. I do I read some affirmations to help confirm our amazing lives. And these days I am reading positive vibes, a whole bunch of doggy cards that tell us some amazingly wonderful affirmation type things. And I do three on each episode, and so here are the three for this week. I release my fears and sprint towards my dreams. And on the back of the card, there's always a little thing about it. This one is conquer a fear. Identify a small fear you face and take steps to confront it. This could be speaking in public, starting a new hobby, or asking for a raise.

SPEAKER_06 9:13

I'm gonna ask for a raise.

SPEAKER_02 9:18

Which means if you stand, all you have to do, you don't even have to ask, you just have to go in an elevator and press the right button. And you get a raise.

SPEAKER_04 9:28

Accept the emergency button. Yeah, don't press that one.

SPEAKER_02 9:30

That will not get you a raise. It might get you a fine instead. Um that's fine. And the next one is a little baby pit bull puppy that says, I face life's hurdles with determination and grace. And on the back it says, goal setting. Set a realistic goal that involves overcoming a personal hurdle. Break the goal into manageable steps and track your progress.

SPEAKER_04 10:04

Good advice. Yes, very good advice. Breaking stuff is always good. Breaking stuff?

unknown 10:10

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

Get your anger out. Get your okay, there it's true, it's true. Um, and on this one is, I believe it's it's not an Irish setter, I'm not sure, but it's a little fluffy doggy that says, I listen to my heart and trust my journey. And on the back, trust your intuition. Take a moment each day to sit quietly and listen to your inner voice. Learning to trust your gut feelings can guide you through life's decisions with confidence and peace. Nice. And that concludes our affirmations for this. I'm getting creepy weak. Yes. Very we should probably just move on now before that goes in some other direction that it shouldn't go in.

SPEAKER_06 11:11

Yes, we don't want it to go in that direction whatsoever. Well, let's move on to our next segment, which I was gonna do obscure words, but I thought I wanted to do this or that. But I knew that would take up too much time. So I'm going to mash them up. Mash up. Okay. This should be fun. I'm going to give you each a pair of obscure words, and you'll have to choose, and then I will tell you the definitions. So we're going to start with TikTok. Would you rather suffer from agromania or agoromania? Um agoromania? Okay, and do you know what agoromania is?

SPEAKER_07 11:57

It's when you really want a lot of agora on your salad. No, that's a rubber.

SPEAKER_06 12:04

Uh agoromania is the intense desire to be inside. Oh, like agromania is the intense desire to be outside. Outside. Oh.

SPEAKER_04 12:19

So okay. There you go.

SPEAKER_06 12:21

Okay. Uh next is going to be Chitaro. Would you rather be an Ictarine or a Rupa Caprine? Ugh.

SPEAKER_04 12:38

I don't.

SPEAKER_03 12:40

At first I thought you said nectarine. No, ictarine.

SPEAKER_04 12:44

Me too.

SPEAKER_03 12:47

I I I'm not even sure I could reproduce that second one, so I'm just gonna say the ictorine.

SPEAKER_06 12:52

Ictorine. Okay. Yeah. And ictorine is pertaining to Oreoles and related birds.

SPEAKER_02 13:00

Oh, not the little dessert cookies. Or Oreos or cookies? Not Oreoles. Orioles.

SPEAKER_06 13:06

Or related birds.

SPEAKER_02 13:08

Because Titaro doesn't have a creamy feeling like that.

SPEAKER_06 13:10

No. And rubicaprine is pertaining to chamoises, which are goats and antelopes.

SPEAKER_02 13:21

Goats and antelopes. Well, you know.

SPEAKER_03 13:26

As a cheetah, both of those would taste be very tasty. They would be very tasty, yes. They would be tasty. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 13:34

I'm gonna give this one to Rain because he doesn't speak French. So, Rain, but yeah. Would you rather have a bowl of peace on Lee or would you rather have a mug of scrumpy?

SPEAKER_05 13:49

Well, first of all, I want to know is Lee cute?

SPEAKER_06 13:58

He's adorable. I'm not hearing it. Okay, then I'll tell I'll take the piece on Lee. Peace on Lee. Pisson Lee is a French dandelion greens salad.

SPEAKER_05 14:09

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 14:10

And Grumpy is a strong apple cider made in Western England.

SPEAKER_05 14:16

Dang it. That would have been good too, though. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 14:19

I do like a good apple cider.

SPEAKER_04 14:21

You have this cellar, I'll take this cider for you.

SPEAKER_06 14:23

Right.

SPEAKER_04 14:24

See, we share.

SPEAKER_06 14:25

Okay, Ziggy.

SPEAKER_04 14:26

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 14:27

Would you rather be a Ra'ad or an Asipenser?

SPEAKER_04 14:34

Um Asapenser sounds like a suspender, so I'll go for the first word, which I don't remember what it is.

SPEAKER_06 14:43

The Ra'ad. Ra'a. The Ra'ad. The Ra'ad is an electric, it's an electric catfish. Oh. And an aspenser is not an ass dispenser, but an assapenser is a sturgeon.

SPEAKER_09 14:57

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 15:02

Swimming for the very first time.

SPEAKER_06 15:05

Alright, Tabin. Hi. Would you rather be unaffable or collywobbled? Oh my cow, definitely collywobbled. Okay. Do you know what collywobbled is? I have no idea, but thanks for asking. Okay, well, collie wobbled is to be nervous, anxious, and queasy.

SPEAKER_02 15:22

Oh, I'm always collywobbled. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_06 15:25

Well, it is part collie. It's part of collie. And unaffable is calm, cool, and collected.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

Oh, yeah, definitely the one I picked it would be the more natural thing for me to be.

SPEAKER_06 15:36

Definitely. I've got three more, so I'm gonna go with TikTok. Would you rather be fudgeling or cudgeling? Uh cudgeling. Okay. Do you know what cudgeling is? Uh beating someone with a cudgel. Yes, with a stick. Yes, exactly. Good guess. And fudgeling is pretending to work while actually doing nothing.

SPEAKER_02 16:00

Oh, it's not it's not beating someone beating someone with a fish.

SPEAKER_06 16:03

No, no, it's not. No, no, no. That would be tasty. Yes. Uh let's go with Tabin on this one. Oh my cow. Would you rather be petrichor? No, no, no. Would you rather experience petrichorpore? Or noisome.

SPEAKER_02 16:25

Um, well, if I have if I get to have an a fuzzy apple, then I would like to petrichor. Because an app it's a fuzzy okay, no, I don't even know what's going on right there, so I'll just say petrichor. Okay. Because I don't even remember what the other word was.

SPEAKER_06 16:45

Noisome. Noisam ah petrichor is the pleasant earthly scent after it rains.

SPEAKER_02 16:52

Oh, I do want to be petricor thing.

SPEAKER_06 16:55

And noisome is the unpleasant odors similar to dying fish on the beach.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

Oh my cow, I I I think I chose correctly on that one.

SPEAKER_06 17:05

I would think so. Okay, uh let's go. Last one with Chitaro. Yeah. Would you rather have Tramel or Lemniscate?

SPEAKER_03 17:17

I I don't know what that means, but I like it. Lemniscate sounds like something that was in the Lord of the Rings. And from what I understand, according to the Hobbits, it was rather tasty. So I'll say Lemniscate. Okay. Well, uh Lemnisgate means to be infinite.

SPEAKER_02 17:33

Ah, and I know why, but I'll let you finish but then I'll say things.

SPEAKER_06 17:37

And Tramel would mean limited.

SPEAKER_02 17:40

Oh. So a lemniscate is an actual, like a two-dimensional figure that looks like an infinity sign. It's I mean, that's not what it is, but it's like there's a equations that graph it and stuff. So that makes sense to me that lemon escape would mean infinite. So I thought that was kind of funny.

SPEAKER_06 17:56

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:58

That makes sense. Awesome. Eight on the side.

SPEAKER_06 18:01

And you got eight credits for your CEUs by learning all those words. So ding ding.

SPEAKER_02 18:06

I am so full of CEUs, I don't know what to do with myself. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:12

So full of CEUs. Alright. Well that takes us up to. That's like a breakfast cereal. Yes. It does. Yeah, the part of this complete breakfast. Juice toast and a bowl of CEUs. CEU.

SPEAKER_04 18:25

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 18:26

And it is Lemnusgate.

SPEAKER_02 18:29

It is so Lemniscate.

SPEAKER_06 18:31

Absolutely lemniscate. Peace on Lee. Alright. So uh media.

unknown 18:47

Media!

SPEAKER_06 18:48

I have watched the latest season of the Great British Baking Show. I watched the Predator movie Badlands. Now oh yeah, we watched that a while back. It was okay. Um it gives a good background on the predator species, the Yaucha or Yaucha. And there's a lot of Easter eggs. Uh, for example, one of the skulls on the trophy wall was of the aliens that Will Smith defeated in Independence Day. So I thought that was kind of cool. Crossover of sorts of sorts. Crossover sorts.

SPEAKER_05 19:18

Yep, yep, yeah. It wasn't I I thought it was uh of the of all the predators slash predators aliens crossover movies. I thought it was one of the better ones because it it was just it was kind of lighthearted, but also like had some of the best special effects I think I've seen in a while.

SPEAKER_03 19:35

Yeah. I I kind of like the fact that that the creature that uh they befriend at the end. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:43

Don't don't don't say though, because you'll ruin it. Yeah, I will.

SPEAKER_06 19:47

So I'm up to date on RuPorl Drag Race and the various sitcoms of Ghosts and Georgie and Mandy's first wedding or marriage. I started the rewatch of the first season of Monarch Legacy of Monsters in order to catch the hubby up. Hubby up? Hubby up.

SPEAKER_02 20:01

What's a hubby up?

SPEAKER_06 20:02

That's a hubby up. It's like a hobby horse, but different. You did say hubby up, okay. I did. Catch the hubby up. Yeah. Yeah. He wanted to watch it, and I was already into season two, and I said, Well, I'll watch season one with you to catch you up on it so that you can then we can move forward as they release the episode.

SPEAKER_02 20:19

And that's why the hubby was up.

SPEAKER_06 20:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 20:22

I see. Up anyway.

SPEAKER_06 20:24

I'm watching the new season of Guy Fieti's Tournament of Champions. I like that show. Um I'm kind of fascinated with these docuseries that are out there now. Uh like I was saying, the you know, the the lost places and the strange this and the that, that, and the and the one I'm watching now is called Strangest Objects. Uh there's lots of flash and fulderall, uh, but it's an entertaining to see the various objects that have been created or found around the globe. Now, what's really interesting about this is they make it look like these analysts are looking at this device in this really fancy 3D thing that's spinning around. But you I know they're just standing there looking at leaning on a table looking at a green screen. So I know that. Right.

SPEAKER_02 21:04

And they feel really silly and just standing there and looking at nothing.

SPEAKER_05 21:08

So yes. Have they done those little Roman what tetradehedron thingies that are found all over the place? The little bally things with the Yeah, well, they're like little Yeah, yeah, they look like uh DD dice, but with holes through the middle of them.

SPEAKER_06 21:22

You're a DD dice. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:24

No, they haven't done to that one.

SPEAKER_06 21:26

They did have a something with this like these little balls that have intricate designs on protuberances that come out of them, which I know protuberances, yeah. That's I like that word. I started watching Stargate Universe. It's entertaining enough. I know it's entertaining, but the first five episodes are all just we're all gonna die do joy. It's like after the third time that they that the ship saves them and does it what it's supposed to do, I think they would learn, hey, it looks like we're gonna do something bad, but you know, the ship has just been doing this, but it's an ancient ship, it's been going for yeah, millennia. Millennia, yeah. So it probably knows how to take care of itself, maybe just go along for the ride.

SPEAKER_05 22:09

It's uh series, but uh it got so poorly received that that sci-fi just kind of gave up on it real early because it was back when sci-fi channel was in charge of all the Stargate stuff. Uh so yeah, it they when the when the ratings weren't good enough, uh they canceled it pretty quick and moved on to Atlantis and just put all the resources into Atlantis, which is a much better series than Universe.

SPEAKER_06 22:33

Okay. Oh, all right, I'll believe it. And that's what I've been watching for my media. Tabin, how about you?

SPEAKER_02 22:38

You remind me of something I wanted to ask you, and I keep forgetting when you mentioned um the you know, the cooking shows and everything you've watching. I I haven't seen it, but I saw like on Netflix a movie called Chef. And I don't know what it's about, but when I saw that ad, I immediately thought of you. So have you seen and or heard of this show? I have not. Okay. Well, maybe for next time I'll do some looking at it and get more information because I did not give you very much information right now because I don't have any. So um I'll try and get more information and I'll give you more information for the past today for next time.

SPEAKER_06 23:15

Okay, okay. So, and what have you been watching then?

SPEAKER_02 23:19

Oh, yeah, right. It's my turn. Okay, how quickly we forget. So uh we're almost done with the first season of Hunters. I don't know, uh I don't know if I've talked about Hunters on the show before. Have you any of you seen or heard of Hunters?

SPEAKER_06 23:35

Is that the the Nazi Hunters movie?

SPEAKER_02 23:37

Yeah, the Nazi Hunters, yeah, yeah. Uh have you seen it or just heard of it?

SPEAKER_06 23:40

No, I've seen it. I've watched the entire episode series, yes.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Oh, okay. So you liked it a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 23:45

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:45

Yeah, okay. Yeah, we're we have one more episode of the first season. So we're still in the first season, but we're almost on the first season. Um, I really like it. Um, and of course, for all you first that don't know, it ha it's um, as well as Berlia just said it's uh the hunters are Nazi hunters, there's Nazis in New York. And um Logan Lerman and Al Pacino are in it, and they do a really good, especially Al Pacino does an awesome job. And it's a drama thrill drama thriller. I cannot talk. Hi, drama thriller set in 1977. It's a pretty good show. Yeah, I um I'm liking it.

SPEAKER_06 24:18

I think I talked about it uh several seasons ago on the show when I talked about it, and we talked about the fact that the actor, the kid actor, the kid the boy Logan Logan Lerman? The yeah, the very that's his that was his very first television role ever. Oh, really? And he got casted next to uh Al Pacino.

SPEAKER_05 24:40

I mean, wow, how I mean amazing is that. Yeah, how did that's either gonna be great for you or really bad for you, depending on how you you know listen to what Al says. Yes, right? Yes.

SPEAKER_02 24:51

He doesn't he does a good job. He doesn't seem all nervous that he's next to Al Pacino. No, he's doing a great job of that's really good.

SPEAKER_05 24:58

That's fantastic, yeah. Because I that that has like tanked a lot of actors, you know, like when they when they get up against somebody like Al Pacino, it has tanked their careers because they're just too nervous to act, you know, believable.

SPEAKER_02 25:11

Yeah, no, that's that's really cool.

SPEAKER_06 25:13

I read an article about him, and he and he says when he got the part, he said I had heard of Al Pacino, but I really never saw any of his work.

SPEAKER_03 25:21

Oh, well that's that's actually probably that helps a little bit. Well, yeah, most of his work is R-rated, right? Yeah, that's true too, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:29

Um so let's see, we finished all the I don't remember I've talked about the yeah, I did. I mentioned the Kaminsky method um a few episodes ago, I think. And we finished season three of that. Um there's only three seasons, so we finished the whole thing. The whole thing is just so great. They ended the whole series very well, no loons in, definitely a conclusion. They didn't like have any dangling, like, oh well, what if this happened? It's just a solid ending, really great. The whole show was just uh there's hilarity ensues, it's it's it's emotional, it's sad. It's sometimes it's just a really great show the whole way through. And of course, Michael Douglas does an awesome job with it. And as I mentioned before, there's little cameos by people like um Elliot Gould and um uh Danny DeVito and everything. And um, it's just a really good show, I think. I highly recommend if you want something to watch, and that's on Netflix for any fur that wants to check it out. Um, yeah, and of course, Ellen at Artkin is is um also plays a big role aside of um Michael Douglas. Um we started a Netflix show called The Detroiters. Has anyone heard of that?

SPEAKER_06 26:41

The Detroiters? The Detroiters.

SPEAKER_02 26:44

No, no, it's a Netflix show in 2017, and it's about two men that they've they've they're like like from childhood like best friends or something, and so it's about these two men that make low budget commercials in Detroit, Michigan. Okay, it's rated 8.2 out of 10 on IMDB and 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, and so it's like okay, this this should be a good thing. And so we watched the first episode the other night, and at after watching that episode, we did not agree with those numbers. Okay, um, and and actually I had not seen those numbers yet. We just watched the show and we're like, uh, I think I did a slight cough kaffaw thing at one point, but it wasn't very good. But then I saw these numbers and we're like, okay, maybe it's just a pilot thing or something, because sometimes pilots aren't very good. So we last night we watched the the next episode, which was actually a lot better. Um, I don't know, of course, if it's gonna stay up to that, but it was good enough to make us want to keep watching it. Like we actually laughed during the episode, like out loud and stuff. So um we'll see. You'll I'm sure you'll hear more about this on the next episode to see how it goes. So let's see what else. Oh, I started re-watching the first half of season three of Beastars now that the second half of the season is out. I have to do that. So um, of course, we all know, and I've I've talked about this on the show before that the the third and final season came out, what like a year ago or whatever, and I watched it and it was 12 episodes, and it got to the end, and I'm sure I talked about this on the show, and it got to the end, it's like that was the most horrible episode to not not just a series, but even if it was a season, but this was a whole series. Why that makes why is it ending like that? Then I find out, oh, that's the first part of the last season. They're not they're not actually releasing the next half until next year. Well, so finally now the second half is out, and so um, and of course, instead of just going right into watching the second half, I restarted watching um the the first half of the second season again, or the third season again, because of course that's what you gotta do. And I'm really glad I did. Um, because I mean, obvious reasons, like Lagoshi and everyone's there, but um, I'm remembering a lot of cool things, and um, so I've watched um the second episode just today. So uh I'm excited to get through that and then get on to and the second part of season three also has 12 episodes, so I got a roller coaster of fluff ahead of me. I'm excited. Wow, that's a lot. It it is, it's yeah, it is. It's like gonna actually take a while to watch it, and then I uh I watched Zootopia 2. Woo! Yay!

SPEAKER_05 29:41

Yeah, that's how to watch it too.

SPEAKER_02 29:43

Yeah, no, it's it's really great. Um, of course, I think Chitaro was it last episode you talked about, or episode before last episode. A couple episodes ago.

SPEAKER_03 29:51

It was a couple, it was a few episodes ago, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:54

And as Chitaro talked about it before, he he mentioned some fun Easter eggs, like a quick scene from The Shining. And so, of course, I caught that. That was awesome. And I loved um the polar bear drinking from a Coke bottle. A total, total quick thing that if you I like you have to know things to get that, but yeah, it was awesome. But I loved it overall, the whole plot. The animation was obviously even better than the first one, but it was just really great. Love the plot, love that it was just really great. Um, great storyline, beautiful animation. Definitely recommend it for all you furs out there, especially if you're into Nick Wilde and um Bunny, then definitely watch um Satopi 2. So that would I I've been watching, I've been playing Royal Kingdom, uh monkeys go pop a little bit, a little bit of Beat Saber. We've talked before, or at least I've talked on the show before, about Battle Mart, a cross between Demio and DD, and really cool thing. And I haven't played it for a long time, but I've been wanting to play it again. So um I mentioned at the beginning of the show I gave a shout out to Albrecht the Fox, and I said later in the media section I gave him another shout-out. Well, now's the time. Yay, every person, yay! Yay! Yay! So another shout out to Albrecht the Fox, because actually, I just this was the other day, they requested that I post more VR games on my YouTube, and all you folks may or may not know, me and Rain did a little DMEO thing and I posted that on my YouTube. And so Aubreck was like, I'd really like you to post, do some more VR game stuff, um, because he said it's entertaining and calming to watch. Like, okay. So anyway, I'd been wanting to play Battle Mark again, as I said, so I'm going to soon um post some of me playing, but it'll be a solo thing. Um, but I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_05 31:44

I could play with you if you want.

SPEAKER_02 31:46

Well, that hold on, that brings me to my next thing. Um, so I'm gonna do some battle mark solo uh and then post that, but then that brings me to, of course, say that you would need rain, we should do DMio again sometime.

SPEAKER_05 31:59

Oh, yes, definitely. I've I've actually got space in my in my studio now to actually play VR without like running into things. Well, this is that's always helpful. That is really nice.

SPEAKER_06 32:10

That's perfect timing. Stop strips to the drops little in between uh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:15

My studio is like twice as big as my old like uh studio was at my old house. So cool.

SPEAKER_02 32:21

This one's well Ray, do you know if bad so does Battle Mark is set? No, that is a multiplayer thing too. It does have multiplayer. I think it is, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:29

I haven't got it yet, but but uh I looked at it in the store.

SPEAKER_02 32:33

Maybe I'll do Battle Mark, maybe we'll both do Battle Mark, maybe we'll do DMO. I don't know, we'll do something. So all you first on my YouTube, we'll we're we'll post some more VR game stuff. Um so thank you, Albrecht the Fox, for encouraging me to um get right on that and do that. Anyway, that is what I have been media in for the past few weeks.

SPEAKER_06 32:56

Past two weeks. All right, Rain and Ziggy. What have you guys been up to on the media for?

SPEAKER_05 33:02

Well, we haven't been watching a lot because Ziggy's been working a lot lately, and we've also been hanging out the the few three times we've had, we've been hanging out with the furries that came down here to hike tourist delpaine. So uh shout out to those guys if they're listening. We enjoyed having you guys down here a lot. But I did manage to finish Starfleet Academy. I thought that the that the ending was really good. It wrapped up and debunked a lot of the BS crap that the haters have been pushing on social media. Oh, good. I haven't seen the new episode yet.

SPEAKER_02 33:32

So it's they do get out of the whole like children drama thing that they did at the very beginning.

SPEAKER_05 33:39

Well, that's still that's still a part of it. I mean, because this is essentially high, you know, college for college, high school college for Starfleet Academy type people, but they debunked a lot of the stuff that they were saying, oh, they're ruining it because now they're making Star Trek uh, you know, the villains and the whole thing, and that you know, because they because the omega molecule or the omega molecule thing that they wrapped up a lot of the stuff that people were hating on, even though they had no idea where the you know where this was going, because this whole thing was shot before anybody started seeing the first episode. So it was already shot and edited, and the stories were already done. So which is you know, people were people were not watching through the whole thing and immediately just jumping on well, they brought the omega, you know, Starfleets, but using the omega molecule, and yeah, it's it was a synthetic version of the omega molecule.

SPEAKER_02 34:28

Well, this can't be Hurley Stream because yeah, because they weren't using it for a weapon.

SPEAKER_05 34:34

Uh apparently they were using it to to try and bring free energy to you know to a lot of the planets that in the Federation that don't have proper power, you know, uh distribution and stuff like that. So uh yeah, it was it was it ended up being a much uh a much better ending than I was even hoping for. I mean, I really like the series and I'm I'm looking forward to season two and hoping that the new overlords at Paramount decide to continue the series at least. Yeah, and at least let it be they're not shooting anything right now. No, there's absolutely no Star Trek. Uh this is the first time in I think I think they said like 10 years that there have been no active Star Trek projects in shooting.

SPEAKER_02 35:16

It's like a weird L thing.

SPEAKER_05 35:18

Yeah, they're all right now wrapped up, and and uh there's there's kind of some fear amongst the Star Trek uh fandom that that Paramount may stop doing any Star Trek stuff for a while. So no Yeah, so uh the how how Strange New Worlds does and how the season two of Academy does, I think may you know color their their decisions on whether or not to continue producing Star Trek uh series.

SPEAKER_02 35:46

You know what I think would be very cool and would be like very well recepted would be like um Star Trek, but like with Bambi and and Thumper and stuff.

SPEAKER_05 35:57

Yeah, I'm sure they've thought of that, but uh you know the Disney is Bambi is a Disney product, so yeah, that it's kind of hard for them to do that.

SPEAKER_03 36:04

You'd have to you'd have to have a Star Wars Bambi crossover tabin. Yeah, well I will do that too.

SPEAKER_02 36:10

That would be fine. I could deal with that, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 36:12

Definitely so yeah, that's that's what I think about that. Also, we've been watching the new Scrub series. Uh it's really good. Uh what do you think, Ziggy? Oh, if there's a new screen, way better. Yes, with the original cast. Uh in fact, the the uh original hospital that they filmed in was an actual abandoned hospital, and of course, that's been torn down since Scrub's the original series uh wrapped.

SPEAKER_04 36:37

Oh, that hurts so much.

SPEAKER_05 36:39

Yeah, and so they found a warehouse in Canada and they basically recreated Sacred Heart in this warehouse, and it's actually better than the original was because, like um, one of the things uh Zach Braff was saying is that the uh little um gift shop in the original was so small that they couldn't really shoot but from one angle in there. Uh but they they actually kind of grew it out just enough so that they could shoot from multiple angles in the gift shop. So that's uh, you know, they put some thought into it to making it look as close to possible as they could. And it's like you couldn't tell the difference if you weren't looking for some slight little things. Uh Zach Ref said the first day he walked on the set and and went into the cafeteria, he was like blown away. He's like, this is where I spent like nine years of my life. And he's like, that was in LA, not not here in Canada. It's it's amazing that this looks identical to what where I shot for you know for nine years. Um, so yeah, it's it's really good. I don't, I'm not gonna say it's a spoiler alert because probably most people listening here have have seen it. Harry Cox ends up being the the head of the hospital, and this this uh new scrub series takes place. He's getting to the point where he wants to retire, and so he hands it over to the only person he feels uh comfortable handing it over to, and that's of course JD, who's played by Zach Brath. So yeah, yeah, fantastic. It's still it still makes you cry in certain spots. They haven't lost a beat at all. I mean, all the original characters that are alive are back, yeah. And the uh the ones that uh were in the show that haven't showed up yet in the series are scheduled for guest appearances in the show. So if you loved Scrubs, this is this is a love letter to all the Scrubs fans, uh, and it's just fantastic. It's really good.

SPEAKER_04 38:30

Yeah, but what it really hurts was when they said, We've been friends for how long? 25 years.

SPEAKER_05 38:37

Oh my knees hurt. Uh yeah, yeah, it's it's really hard to believe it's been that long.

SPEAKER_02 38:44

Yeah, you know, uh Scrubs was good, but that they started, you know, that a show, a series goes downhill. You know they go downhill when they first like in general when they introduce uh musical episode. And Scrubs did that, and they had their musical episode, and me and Honey were like, um, okay, so this is the point at which Scrub has just gone downhill.

SPEAKER_05 39:10

Uh actually I love the musical episode, and I'm not a big musical fan. You know, they they had a good reason for it, and so it wasn't just oh, let's do a musical episode to do a musical episode. I thought it was uh really well thought out, and it wasn't a uh yeah, no, it's it's uh guy love between two guys. Yes, it's a fantastic yeah, it's it's fantastic. Uh it's one of my favorite episodes. Uh and uh it really didn't start getting bad till season nine. The last season when they brought in new new students, yeah, that's a little bad. Oh, like bad. Yeah, the the they just brought in students that had that made no sense. They weren't they weren't good fits for the for the crew. In this new one, you know, a new series of students is actually starting when JD comes for a visit. The students are so good. You can see a little bit of each uh of each of the original students in these students that have come along. There's there's always you know, there's a lot of them that look exactly like like they could be the the kids of the originals. So it's it's really it's really fun. Um, they they they fixed the they fixed the formula that they messed up in season nine. The new students coming in, you know, they're different enough to to be like, oh, I like this one, but not so different that that you're thinking, uh, what are they trying to do here? Yeah. So it it still follows the the good you know the good seasons one through eight chemistry that that uh they established for during the first eight seasons. Yeah, I I love it. Um so Ziggy, what have you been up to?

SPEAKER_04 40:43

Oh, just playing the old Fortnite new season, new characters. Uh they're trying to merge the OG with the new together, and so it's been good in that way, but there's a lot of controversy now with the prices of the B-Bucks, they laying off stuff, they're cutting off three different game modes, so yeah, quite mixed feelings.

SPEAKER_07 41:04

TikTok, how about you? What have you been up to media-wise? Well, we got the usual Jeopardy and RuPaul, um, also a bunch of no reservations episodes. Uh, I'd say that Bourdain has a little more in-depth social commentary on his later Parts Unknown show, but the extra saltiness uh of No Reservations is a good bit more fun. So I do recommend that one.

SPEAKER_03 41:29

All right. Cool. Chitaro, how about you? Well, as much as I've been busy with Forlandia, my partner Pink Lemonade has made me take several breaks by watching a few things. Um, we continued watching the anime, uh, The Daily Life of the Immortal King. Um, seeing as this is a continuing anime, we've caught up to the current episode that's dubbed in English, anyways. Yes. There are three episodes that are not in English, they're still in the original Chinese, believe it or not, because this is a Chinese anime. Oh, really? Um, it's a Chinese anime. Um, and so uh it's it's ironic because they actually have it dubbed in Hindi, which is weird. Before English, which is high ironic, but you know, there's more of them than us.

SPEAKER_05 42:10

So that's I'm wondering if they outsourced the animation to India because uh I know I know India's got some animation studios coming up now, and so that may be why they they dubbed it out Hindi.

SPEAKER_03 42:20

That'd be worth looking into it. That totally makes sense. I'll have to look into that to see for sure. But uh, but that it's getting really good now, especially now that the main character uh uh has a sister who is also just as powerful as him, so it's kind of cool. Seeing as Pink Lemonade has never seen it, we watched the 2000 movie Castaway with Tom Hanks.

SPEAKER_08 42:41

Wilson! Wilson!

SPEAKER_03 42:43

Yes, I I will I will say that it still makes me think the movie ended too soon. Um, I think the package that he delivers at the end of the movie should have been opened, as well as Chuck, Tom Hanks, should have followed that woman back to her place, you know, because they she was totally hitting on him. Oh, yeah. And he did absolutely nothing about it. It was just kind of silly.

SPEAKER_07 43:05

Well, you know it was in the in the package.

SPEAKER_03 43:07

Yes. Uh probably something to help save his life. A satellite radio. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 43:12

A GPS and a satellite phone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:15

Yeah.

unknown 43:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:18

It's just frustrating. You know, every time I watch that movie, it just frustrates me, but there it is. Um, we also watched the live-action movie from 2025 How to Train Your Dragon. Oh, nice. Okay. Um, I know that it was talked about before on the show, but uh I wanted to see it and it was actually amazing. Although I will say it was different from the animated version because hiccup did not have his prosthetic leg until the end of the movie, which was kind of like, wait, what? Did you find the musical scenes as as unsettling as uh Skoo did? I'm gonna say no, I did not, because the the you know, I kind of like that to be honest. I'm kind of weird because I'm like you, I like musicals to a small degree, and and um you know, whenever somebody throws a musical in there, it's like it's kind of fun and exciting. It just kind of adds something.

SPEAKER_05 44:10

Scoot's big thing was like the the when they first fly, when when him and uh and toothless still fly, or start they fly for the first time. Uh the the thing that uh upset him most was that they didn't time the music the way the animation did. Because the way the animation timed it, it was so like each each high and low was on the correct beat of where they were flying, and he didn't feel like they did a good job in that in that part. And he felt like that was like one of the key moments of the of character development that that was missed out with because the music was just wrong. It wasn't hitting right.

SPEAKER_03 44:44

I guess while I was watching it, I wasn't really paying attention to that specifically because I was more along the lines of watching and paying attention to things like what was right and wrong with the movie, so to speak. Um, and and so I was looking at it at a from a different perspective. I might have to take a look at that and watch it over again.

SPEAKER_05 45:02

Watch that one scene again and see what you what you think because because uh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:05

I mean, I do I do like how um how in the movie they actually if you ever watched any of the animated stuff for uh how to train your dragon, I love how they paired all of the different characters with the correct dragons that was in the series. That was kind of fun to see that happen and stuff, and so it was rather interesting. I I I did like it, so um, but I will have to go back and take a rewatch, so to speak. Um the we also watched a 2001 movie called The Black Phone, and the ironic part is about this movie, and this is going to be kind of a strange segue, but what was interesting that the person that played hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon, uh Mason Thames, was the person in The Black Phone as the kid who gets abducted.

SPEAKER_05 45:51

Yeah, I couldn't watch that movie, I couldn't watch it. It was just it was a little bit too too much for me. I don't like child abduction stuff that that creeps me out.

SPEAKER_03 46:01

It it it was interesting in the aspect, you know, because you didn't really understand what was going on in the beginning, and then when you find he finally gets abducted and stuff like that, you know, because this set this is also set in like 1978, and it's like, wow, that's kind of interesting that a movie is set in the past, so to speak. But when this kid is taken and and and he's in there, you know, and and he he like stares at this phone that's in there, and the guy goes, Well, that phone doesn't work, it hasn't worked for years, and then all of a sudden he's like sitting there and the phone rings, and it's like, what the world? You know, but then he ends up talking to the kids that were abducted in the past and stuff, and figuring out how to escape. I mean, I will say, as strange as a movie as it was, because you know, I I think about the fact of kids getting abducted and things like that, you know, overall, when you look at the movie as a whole, it actually did a pretty good job in terms of trying to show that don't don't be don't be that victim and just allow that person to bully you, so to speak, and try to do something to escape. So I guess that's kind of what I took out of that movie, so to speak. Okay. You know. Um, but uh we did watch uh finally get to watch, because I know we started watching Peacemaker at our last episode. We finally got to watch season two. Um it has some really interesting scenes and it focuses on multiple universes. Okay. There's an interesting scene where John Cena, who plays Peacemaker, um, ends up finding himself in another uh dimension and and uh he ends up almost getting killed by this guy, but instead he ends up killing himself from the other dimension and stuff. And so it's it's rather it's rather funny because you know this there's this whole entire thing where he's wrapping them up in into a uh uh what do you call it? Uh a tarp and trying to shove him into this space and the body keeps rolling out and pushing it back, and the body rolls out, and it's like really funny how he's trying to do that and stuff. It's funny how he ends up getting rid of the body, but I won't say what how he did. But um, but I will say, um, you know, this is definitely worth a watch if you're a DC comic fan, you know, because there's a lot of interesting moments when when Peacemaker like really disses on some of the DC characters, specifically like when he talks about Aquaman or you know, or he talks about The Flash or he talks about Green Lantern and stuff like that. You know, it's rather hilarious. But I will say, as a caveat, be careful because the second season has quite a bit of nudity. Ooh, okay. Do we get to see John Cena naked? You get to see his butt. Okay, that's worth it. You know, but I'm watching but there is lots of scenes where you get to see full on female and male nudity. Wow. Oh wow. So there's lots of it.

SPEAKER_05 48:55

So at this point, one female nudity.

SPEAKER_03 48:58

Yeah, there's there's one there's one whole episode where he's having this party in his house, and um there you go. That's kind of yeah, that's the kind of party he's having in this house. So yeah. So just beware if you watch Peacemaker, there is nudity, more so in the second season than the first. Okay. Peacemaker's a good party maker, then, is what you're saying. I would say yes. As a matter of fact, there's there's several times where he he hits on the the pot pipe and the bong, and um he does do a couple of lines of cocaine, you know. So um, yeah, so it's a very interesting thing.

SPEAKER_05 49:35

So definitely not a not a G-rated uh thing.

SPEAKER_03 49:38

So this is definitely an R-rated movie. So sorry, Tabin, uh, or TV series. You you can't watch this, sorry, Tabin. I would say it's probably more NC17 than R. I would agree. Yeah, I would agree. So but um, but uh yeah. But that's what we have been mediating.

SPEAKER_06 49:57

That takes us up to our furry news with TikTok, our intrepid news reporter. Take it away, TikTok.

SPEAKER_07 50:11

Well, let's see. I got two scoops for your food for you furrers, or should I say two suits? So first uh first up is that Conference Zero t-shirt being offered on eBay. I mentioned that a little while back. Yes, you did, yes. Uh, yep, it's still there and still 16 large. Wow, and I'm not talking about the shirt size.

SPEAKER_02 50:33

Yeah, that would be like a lot of crispy chicken and nummy-nummy ta-tots to uh fit into it.

SPEAKER_03 50:38

Yeah, fit fill that's that would be like a Sasquatch size.

SPEAKER_07 50:42

But yeah.

SPEAKER_02 50:43

Don't believe a Sasquatch!

SPEAKER_07 50:45

It's still sixteen thousand dollars. We're being offered for sixteen thousand dollars. Uh friend of BFFT, Patch O'Fur posted an article, an interview with the seller who goes by Akuma skill. It's a bit unclear from the article if Akuma Skill is in the fandom, but he does at least like furry art. He's a collector in general, and bought the shirt and a lot with other furry art t-shirts from a flea market vendor. Wow. Uh yeah. Later on, he found the shirt was in fact were the shirts were in fact vintage, and noticed the date on the Conference Zero shirts in 1989. He did some research, found the shirt uh seemed authentic, and with the art being having been drawn by the OG furry artist Steve Martin, not the comic. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 51:37

Darn.

SPEAKER_07 51:38

Akuma Skills says he doesn't care if the shirt sells or not, although he hopes that if a furry museum ever happens, he'd like to see the shirt, you know, you know, displayed there. Patched also did some follow-up authentication with the archivists of conference, who did indeed verify the shirt, and they used uh old VHS footage that showed attendees wearing the shirt.

SPEAKER_05 52:04

Oh, okay, sweet. VHS footage.

SPEAKER_07 52:07

Yes, ooh.

SPEAKER_05 52:09

Yeah, I mean that's how that's how a lot of props are actually found. Uh, you know, like Adam Savage goes searching for some you know some original props and stuff, and the way they tell is they go back and through, and sometimes you have to go back to some VHS movies to find these, you know, these little hints that that the prop you're looking at is actually the prop. Uh so yeah, good on them for doing the research.

SPEAKER_07 52:31

Oh, very cool. So next up is an official licensed primogen head crafted by Forbidden Studios, recently sold at auction for drum roll.$25,000. Good lord. Wow. Oh my cow. Yes. The price went into the stratosphere uh due to a bidding war between three bidders with two bidders duking it out until the end.

SPEAKER_02 53:03

And they were very bitter about it. Ha ha.

SPEAKER_07 53:06

Well, at least the one that least the ones that lost. Yes. Yeah, the one that won is out 25 grand, but apparently he could afford it. But uh but what is a primogen, you might ask? I might ask that question, yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 53:20

I was gonna ask because I'd forgotten.

SPEAKER_07 53:22

Yeah, the primogens are the sci-fi cyborg furry raptors conceived around 2015 by Malice Rizu, who now goes by Cool Koinu. They're highly advanced and largely cybernetic, designed for complex tactical space missions.

unknown 53:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 53:48

So the primogens were presented as a closed species. Right.

SPEAKER_05 53:52

I knew they were closed, but I couldn't remember the difference.

SPEAKER_07 53:55

Yes. So the you know, and little summary, the deal with a closed species is that you're not supposed to have a character based on that species without permission or a license from the original creator. Uh, but it's really more of a good faith thing, though. There's no actual enforceable copyright law that prevents you, but it mostly applies to having something professionally made, as professional artisans they make art to keep the lights on and food on the table and they don't want to piss off their fellow fellow artists or damage their reputation by taking commissions for unlicensed clothed species.

SPEAKER_05 54:33

Right.

SPEAKER_07 54:34

But if you decide to make something on your own, you can. It's just that your character won't be, you know, quote unquote official.

unknown 54:42

Right.

SPEAKER_07 54:43

Anyway, back to the Primatogens. A very limited number of official licensed ones have been offered at auction in the past, although they didn't get nearly as expensive. It's been some time since there's been a new one made available. So you could say there was some excitement, at least for those with incredibly disposable incomes. But due to the popularity of primogens, around 2017, Koinu invented the protogens, working them into the lore as a precursor prototype of the primogen. However, the protogens were presented as an open species with some design guidelines. Their bodies are more organic and derived from a modified furry creature. Now, the interesting thing to me is that with the fruits being open, their lore, backgrounds, and designs have evolved much more, well, organically. So you have thousands of Protogen fans contributing to the community. Whereas the primogens are just kind of stuck in stasis.

SPEAKER_05 55:52

Right, because they're they're closed, so nobody can adjust it except for the original author or the original creator, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 55:58

Yeah, or the lore or anything. But that's the way she wanted it. So I mean it's her thing. I mean, that's that's up to her, yeah. Yeah. But so with that in mind, if you have the resources to buy a licensed primogen, hey, have fun. But since the Protagens are taking their own destiny into their fluffy cybernetic paws, who knows what the fluffy space toasters will be in the future? Nice. And that's the news for this week.

unknown 56:31

All right.

SPEAKER_05 56:34

Yeah. So Chitaro, what have you got for us this time? I it looks like a really good movie.

SPEAKER_03 56:40

Yeah, yeah. This time I actually did a review of a movie that is in, and I'm gonna say this in all the best respect, real theaters, because you know, most movies are streaming nowadays that I've been watching, but this one's actually in theaters currently, and it's the 2026 movie Hoppers. Now, when I first heard about this movie, my brain immediately thought, this is before I even saw the trailer, my brain immediately thought, oh my god, this is coming out for Easter. It has nothing to do with Easter. This has nothing to do with Easter. Um, you know, so this movie it starts out with this this young girl. Her name is Mabel. She loves animals and she loves the environment. And you see her in the very beginning of this film stealing all of the animals from the elementary school classes, you know, like a turtle and things of that nature, turtle, hamster, blah, blah, blah. And um, she ends up getting chased around the school and she gets in trouble, and you know, her mom comes and picks her up and she says, Okay, you know better than this. See, I've talked to you about this before. So she takes her to the place where she's gonna get punished, and it is where her grandmother is, right? So she gets with a grandmother, and the grandmother says, Oh, I see what you need. So she takes this the child off to the nate to nature, sits her on a rock, and says, Okay, be quiet and you'll be able to see nature. And it's like really awesome because she uh, you know, all the animals come out and she's happy and and stuff, and and she ends up uh befriending her grandmother in such a way that she ends up keep staying with her grandmother and and living with her grandmother until unfortunately her grandmother passes away. And then, but she continues on the life of trying to save the animals and and nature, so to speak, specifically this glade where her grandmother and her sat and watched all the animals. Well, then you realize what's going on is there's this mayor of, and I'm sorry, this is totally true. The mayor of Beaverton. Um I knew they seemed shady. I know, right? This mayor, his his name is Jerry. Um, he wants to build this highway, this automobile highway, so so he does everything he can to try to make all the animals be removed from this glade. And of course, Mabel finds out and she's like so upset about this, you know, and stuff. Okay, well, I'm gonna try to do what I can to save this glade. Well, she was sitting there one night trying to um see if the animal if she could get an animal, specifically a beaver, to come back to the glade, because beavers are keystone animals for starting other species to come, right? Of course. So she's sitting there, she's sitting there waiting for this beaver, put food out for it and put nature sounds and the whole thing on her phone, and all of a sudden she sees this little thing uh come across and uh and and and it's a beaver, and it comes down and it sniffs the food and it walks around and and then all of a sudden it runs away. And she goes, Oh no, don't run away, little beaver. So she runs past after this um this beaver, and and this beaver ends up getting absconded by a van that ends up being taken to the Beaverton University, where where she ends up finding out that there is this professor who created an animatronic beaver to interact with the animals to be able to understand what's going on with the animals. And so, of course, um when she finds us out, she says, I know the perfect way to be able to help these animals, and she ends up becoming this animatronic beaver, and she ends up going back to the glade and befriends the whole entire animal kingdom, and she becomes sort of sort of like Avatar with the uh the the Yeah, it is kind of like Avatar to a thing because with animals hence why but but they call it hoppers because you're hopping into this animal with your brain, and your brain is hopping into this animal. So it's very much like Avatar, yeah. And because the interesting part too is that these people, when they're hopping into these animals, they're they're literally in this chair, and I it reminds me of those old um those old hairdryers that used to go over people's heads completely, you know, and they kind of go over there and they kind of like sit there and all of a sudden it's like poof, they're in over into the other uh into the animal, and then the animal screes off. But it was rather interesting, you know, because the whole entire message of this film has to do with um, you know, animal interactions, uh, ecology, you know, and and interacting and making sure you know the in about the environment and being safe and things of that nature. Um, there were parts of this movie that I actually cried in because it it was that good, to be honest. Oh you know, the the the the the the movie itself is wonderfully animated. Um it does have some pretty good background music and stuff, but it's not really the focus of the movie by any means uh whatsoever. But there are some good uh good uh pieces of music that get thrown into the into the fray. Uh there's a few good actors that are actually in uh in this, like The Mayor is played by John John Ham. The doctor is actually uh Kathy Najimi. She, if if you recognize that name, she was Peggy Hill on King of the Hill. She's you know, um and and Bobby Moynihan, who is somebody who is a major person from Saturday Night Live, did the voice of one of the animal beavers, and it was Piper Curta. Um I'm I'm not familiar with her personally, but um she did the voice of Mabel, and they did a great job of of interacting her with all of this stuff. The the connection that she ended up making with all of these animals was like that that's what kind of got me in the aspect as because you know she befriends all of these animals and then something happens. And like I said, I'm not gonna go through and say what it all happened because that would wreck the movie. But I would say that this deserves my highest honors of chirps of five stars. Or five chirps, five chirps because this had an excellent message of making sure that you know if you care about the environment, you should get involved in making sure you save the environment. So it was worthy, it's worthy of going and checking out. If you haven't uh check it out, if you want to wait until it comes to streaming, you know, um, it is a Disney Pixar movie. Okay. So um, and the ironic part is as we you were talking about earlier about Star Trek things, in the beginning of the movies for all of the um the pre-coming sequels or movies and stuff, there's a movie that is coming out uh from Star Wars, The Mandalorian and Grogu. And Grogu, yes. I'm actually looking forward to seeing that. It looks good. It's coming out on May 22nd. So unfortunately, I won't be able to see it on theaters the day it comes out because there's something more important that's happening that day. And I can't believe they missed the May 4th. I know, right? That's what we both lemonade and I said. That would have been perfect for May the 4th, yeah. So but yeah. So everybody go out to your theater right now, support this movie because it is worth the watch, um, you know, and and stuff like that. So um hoppers.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:59

Welcome to BFFT Labs, where we make the past feel like the future. What? To that end, each episode from now until season seven premiere, we will try out one of our new ideas for segments to see how they work and how you, our listeners, feel about it. So please feel free to uh let us know what you think by email or telegram or on the comments section on BuzzSprout. So, on to this episode's new segment test. This was conceived of by Rain Raccoon. So, Rain, it's all yours.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:41

Okay, so this is a game I made up called Rain's Real or Ridiculous. It's really simple. I'll give you two factoids. One is real and one is ridiculous. And you furs here in the studio have to figure out which one is real and which one is not real. Okay, so we're gonna start out here.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:00

Tabin is not real.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:02

Yes. The first one. The first one is in the 1740s, Roman Catholics formed a secret society dubbed the Order of the Pug. Members had to sport dog collars and scratch at the door.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:16

Hmm.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:16

Okay, so the next one is Penguins have wavy feathers that produce a similar effect when moving through water as golf ball dimples do in the air.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:28

I like the idea of the first one, so I'm gonna say the first one is true. Even though the second one is probably the true one because that sounds like a sciencey thing, but I still like the first one better, so I'm gonna go with the first one.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:40

Penguin. What say you, TikTok? Penguin.

unknown 1:09:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:45

And what about you, Chatara?

SPEAKER_03 1:09:47

Well, as a fellow person who volunteers at the Oregon Zoo, I say it's the penguin. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:53

I knew it. I still go with the doggy thing.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:57

I gonna I'm gonna go with the doggy thing too, because you know, Catholics, why not? Or weird.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:04

Last but absolutely not least is my hubby Ziggy. What do you think?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:09

Yeah, I'm going for the Order of the Pug. That must be real. Has to be real.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:13

Well, yes, anybody who knows me would know that I would pick the pug one as the absolutely real one. So, yes, it is true in 1740. Roman Catholics formed a secret society dubbed the Order of the Pug. Yeah, members didn't have to wear collars, and to be let in, you had to scratch at the door. I love it. I love it.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:32

I figured the colours were plausible, but the scratching was.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:35

No, that's how they knew if it was a real member coming to the door. I actually looked up a little further into it. It was because you know, a lot of the a lot of the Catholic secret societies were not uh were not approved of by the by the papacy. So there are a lot of yeah, there are a lot of secret societies that the the Catholics uh invented and they were they had to be very careful because uh you know you could be called a heretic and you know booted from from the church and get toasty were smudge.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:07

So do we think that that's yeah, maybe part of where human pups came from?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:12

Uh it's a it's a good possibility.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:14

It's definitely uh part of it somehow, anyway.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:20

I don't know if they had to sniff each other's behinds uh once they entered to greet each other, but uh it's definitely uh it's definitely an interesting story, and yeah, there are a lot of really interesting you know stories relating to uh secret Catholic societies.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:34

Well, interesting. Uh just it was that the only one you have, or do you have another one?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:40

That's it. I just wanted to make it a quick a quick little thing so that we can try to uh entertain ourselves but not spend all episode discussing.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:56

Okay. I I'm seeing notes going on on our in real time here. Taven made me do this.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:03

Hold on, I've gotta find the joke because I have forgotten it. I think it was a cartoon, actually.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:07

No, it was no no no no.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:10

I know what cartoon he's talking about. I know what he's talking about.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:13

There was the one with the where the when the dog gets pulled over? No, there was a man that went up to the farmer. Man went up to the farmer and says, I don't like the smell emanating from this cow. And the farmer says, What, you don't like our dairy air?

unknown 1:12:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:35

Okay, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:38

I thought it was the dog joke where the where the where the cop dog pulls the the other dog over in the uh you know, for speeding and asks to see some ID and the and the the the dog puts his butt up to the window.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:53

That's cute, too.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:54

I thought it was that one. That's cute. I posted that one in there too. Well that was fun.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:15

Okay, well, so um, as I mentioned earlier in the show last time, that is season six, episode twenty, in the math section I talked about Tree of Three, and in season six, episode sixteen, I talked about Graham's number, which are two unimaginably literally so huge numbers. You first might want to go back to those episodes and listen to me talk about them, um, either after you listen to me talk about this or before, I don't know, whatever, but because they're actually really interesting to think about and everything. I remember the last episode when I was talking about tree of three, when trying to explain how big Tree of Three actually is, at one point, Barely totally had a holy cow moment when he realized how insanely huge the number is. Like he was just listening, listening, listening, listening. And then all of a sudden, I saw his face and he even made a sound when he realized, oh my cow, and he totally had a holy cow moment. Anyway, so all you furs uh should listen to this. Um, so anyway, last time, after I got done talking about it, Barely asked what these numbers, these huge numbers were used for. And indeed, these are not just some huge numbers as someone said, oh, these exist, but they do have an actual purpose. And so um I did some, uh, as I mentioned right at the start of the episode, I did some research to find out what these are actually more used for and actually, or where do they come from, and they're actually uh kind of fun to think about. I I have some things to say about that. So here we go. So as I mentioned, um in C in season three, episode 16, I talked about this thing called Grams number, and last time I talked about this thing called tree of three. So just let's start with Grams number. There's a branch of mathematics that's called Ramsey theory. And this branch of math studies properties and patterns in large mathematical structures. For example, it typically asks questions like how big must some structure be to guarantee that a particular particular property holds. Now, for example, so I'm gonna build up an example, and I'll get to gram's number and everything, but so this won't be gram's number yet, number, but I want to give you an example. And it's this is fun to think about too. The definition of a complete graph of order n. This is a graph, so just think a whole bunch of lines connected to nodes that is circles. So just think of lines connected to circles, and a complete graph of order n is a graph with n nodes where every pair of nodes is connected with a line. For example, a complete graph of order three is just a triangle. You've got three nodes and they're all connected with the line. So okay, that's a triangle. A complete graph of order four is a square with both of the diagonals connected. So just think of a square where that you've got circles on each of the four corners. You've got what one, two, third, four, five, six lines connecting all of all the corners. So you've got a square with diagonals in okay, so that's uh and so on. So you can imagine a complete graph of order five is well, you've got a pentagon, a five-sided thing, and all the things are connected inside, you've got all these lines. Okay, great. Now, let's go back to a complete graph of order three. So a triangle. So take a triangle and you could imagine you could color each of the three sides either red or blue. And so you've got several you've got a bunch of possibilities there. You could color this side blue and the other color color red and red, you know, you've got a bunch of possibilities. We can ask the question take a complete graph of order four. So remember that's a square where you have both the diagonals connected to. Yeah, barely is dry. So you first can't see it, but barely's drawing it in the air. Exactly, yes. Take that graph of order four. Does it contain a comp is it possible to contain or sorry, I should say, does it always contain a completely red triangle or a blue triangle? And by the way, so notice those diagonals, they of course intersect in the middle, and you've got like little smaller triangles. That doesn't count. We want triangles that are just formed by the edges of the square or by the corners of the square. It's not hard to actually just if you it's fun to just try and draw pictures, and you draw pictures, it's not hard to draw a picture of such a thing that does not contain a triangle that only has red or blue, wouldn't just one of the colors. Of course, you can draw such a thing that has a triangle of only red edges, but not always it's possible to draw some. Now, is that making any sense so far? Sort of, yes. Sure, why not? So, okay, but the the point is here we have this thing called a complete graph of four edges. Barely drew it, it's that thing, and we want to know does it contain a triangle that is only have blue edges? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But what about a complete graph of order five? So you draw a pentagon with all these other lines, is it? Are we guaranteed that it contains a triangle of only blue sides on it in it? Well, you can draw a little pit little pictures, and it's fun to draw draw the little pictures. It turns out the answer is not always. We've talked about it's four or five, we're not guaranteed. So how large do we have to be? It turns out that the answer is actually six. Oh. So it doesn't take it's it's not, you know, you can draw a lot of pictures and convince yourself that okay, well, if I have six nodes, I have to have a triangle of the same color in it. Okay, now as a side note, this is an interesting equivalent statement that for some person this might make help with the brain activity a little bit. This statement that you need six, this is equivalent to the statement that at any party, any party that has at least six people, there are three people who are either mutual acquaintances, that is, each one knows the other two, or mutual strangers. And so this kind of the little graph thing is just a like kind of nice little mathematical way to actually draw the read those relationships and stuff. So it has a nice little equivalent way of formulating it. Okay, okay, okay. So there's all of this. Now, Graham's number, which was defined and published in a paper in 1971, so relatively recently, actually, has to do with a similar construction, but a more general question about an N-dimensional cube instead of a two-dimensional graph. So I won't go into all that, but basically we're talking about squares but in higher dimensions, but doing the same sort of thing, trying to color stuff and everything. So it turns out that Graham's number, this big, huge, immense number that I talked about in season six, episode 16, you can go back and listen to talk about again, it was proved to be an upper bound to the number. So it's this really huge number. The exact answer to the question is not that, but the point is that finally getting to Barley's question about what's this used for, the point this Grams number says that it proves that there is an answer to this general question about n-dimensional cubes and stuff. Now, the thing is, uh sometimes in math and science, we just care that an answer exists. Even if it's impossible to actually work with that thing. Because after all, if a solution doesn't even exist, don't go looking for it and trying to do anything with it. So that's Graham's number. Now I won't say as much about treve n. If any of you first listened to me talk about this number treve n from last time, it's even bigger than Graham's number, it's huge, it's even unfathomably huger than Graham's number. But it also has to do with the sequence of graphs that you make a bunch of graphs in a certain way, and these graphs are called trees, and that's why this sequence is called tree of M, blah blah blah. So as I said, I won't go into details of how these particular graphs are made, but you form these fun graphs and draw little pictures that um adhere to certain rules, and this number tree of n is essentially the number of trees that satisfy all these rules. And as I talked about last time, tree of one, the first number of the sequence is one, then tree of two, the next number of the sequence is three. But then all of a sudden, if you try and compute and draw the trees that give you the answer to tree of three, you just keep drawing and drawing and drawing, and it seems like it's infinite, that there's no answer to this question. And where the question is, how many trees are there? But tree tree of three has been proven to be a finite number, and so then this is another example of proving that an answer exists to a seemingly non-answerable question. And so that's very fun and interesting to draw these things and find out that even though these numbers are immensely huge and you can't even work with them, they do give us good solid information about answers to problems. So if any furs out there that thinks all these ideas are interesting, you might be interested in graph theory, combinatorics, or Ramsey theory. So go out and check that out. And that is my math for this week.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:44

Well, I I'm interested in Gordon Ramsay theory, but uh that's just because I'm that sounds more edible.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:53

It is more edible.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:53

Delicious. It's it's more easily defined and and a lot more easily and digest.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:02

I bet it's easier to devour. Yes. Yes, yes, indeed.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:07

All right, well, that takes us up to our shameless plugs. And I want to plug Royal Highness, the podcast I produce with my sister and her friend. They enhance with cannabis products. Then they talk about a show they watched while enhanced. Currently they are watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix, uh, but recently watched the game of series, Game of Thrones series of Night of the Seven Kingdoms. Uh last night we recorded an episode and Spencer was out sick, so I had to sit in the host chair, which so the episode's not as funny as it normally is, but it's okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:38

What? Yeah, Spencer is I know. Oh, yeah. So now, all you furs, your homework now is all you furs have to listen to this episode and let us know how extreme, even maybe more funny this episode was with Barley.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:52

Maybe. Maybe it is hard to beat Spencer though, because Spencer is so quick with the with the different accents and different jokes when oh my gosh, his wit is like like so staggering. Yeah. It's it's so funny. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:08

Yes, well, we didn't. Um as we start to look forward to season seven, as I mentioned before, uh, we are soliciting from listeners the best and worst con roommate stories that we will start reading in season seven. There's a link to the submission form in the show notes and on Telegram. Please share with us. Rain, what have you got for us?

SPEAKER_05 1:25:27

Well, of course, uh, as usual, 3D Who, the monthly Doctor Who podcast, where we we're barely uh James and I discuss all things Doctor Who. The episode coming out at the end of March is all about River Song, and April's episode will be about Bad Wolf. Uh I've also decided to jump on the bandwagon with the pup and start a link tree for all my socials uh and projects. So you can find it at L-I-N-K-T-R.E. forward slash Rain Raccoon. I'm also available for freelance video or audio editing gigs. Should anyone care to help me and Ziggy keep you know food on the table? Yes! Beat the weasel and the raccoon. You can DM me on Telegram at Rain Raccoon if you have any projects that uh you need a little help editing with. Um, so I would appreciate it. He's very reasonable.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:16

Thing yes, I appreciate that. Ziggy, what about you? Well, if you see a grain-haired raccoon under the name of Mapachupistacho, please don't you pew me. I need XP. I really want to unlock uh Bugs Bunny.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:29

Okay. Yeah, they've got Bugs Bunny in Fortnite now.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:32

I need to reach level 85 to unlock it. Oh no. What's up, Doc? Yes. You got the phrase.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:39

TikTok, how about you? Let's see. Come get some hugs and fund it for Landia and for Tabin's um edification. I actually rode a hog to New Hampshire.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:50

You did?

SPEAKER_07 1:26:51

Yes. Wow. What else would you ride to get ham?

SPEAKER_02 1:27:00

I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:02

Uh Did you find the little hairs on the back would poke you in the legs? Um, I wrote I wore protection. Oh, good.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:12

You wore assless chaps. Of course, all chaps are assless. You know, you know what you call a pair of chaps that are not assless, right? Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:23

Chitaro, how about you? What do you got to plug? Well, uh uh when this episode drops, there is literally six weeks till con. My cow. Yes. There's literally two and a half-ish weeks to be able to get your hotel room uh to about two and a half weeks to get yourself pre-registered. Um, because pre-registration right now is sixty dollars, uh, and that's through the end of this month. So uh you know, go to Furlandia.org and uh get yourself registered. And what's the what's the price at the door if they don't pre register? The price at the door is seventy five dollars.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:02

Okay, so you say$17.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:04

$15 by pre registering. Yeah,$15 which you can then spend at the dealer's day. Yes, absolutely. And if you if you go to speaking of Dealer's Den, if you go to our website at Furlandia.org org, then you will see uh a list of all of our vendors for the dealer's den and links to uh their prospective uh merchandise that's on their either Linktree's or Etsy or whatever it is that they have uh for their shop. Um we also have a list of all of our artist alley vendors and a map of what the artist alley and the dealer's den are gonna look like. We do have a map of the convention space there. I just saw that today. So yeah, isn't it kind of exciting? Three whole floors.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:47

Oh my god, oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:49

Yeah, yeah. So so uh remember we are gonna attempt, and this is not a promise, but we are gonna attempt to try to do early registration at the con for Thursday, uh late afternoon evening. So if you do get to uh the hotel uh on Thursday, then you should be able to that night be able to register, but don't hold me to that because we know our. Yeah, yeah. Um I do I do want to remember remind everybody again, um, you know, that it is till the end of this month, April 30th, that our hotel uh uh link, so get your hotel as well. But I'm also going to say that uh our two guests of honor, Kyle Gold, is going to be introducing a new book. Nice. Um I'm not gonna say anything more than that.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:39

Pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:40

Excellent. Um and uh our other guest of honor, Jonah Scott, is going to have a panel. He's gonna have a panel talking about V-Stars. Oh nice. And I'm going to say that based on a podcast from someone else, and I don't it's it's uh I can't remember the name of the podcast. You listen to other podcasts? No, it was shared to me a small portion of another person's podcast. They were talking to all of the B stars English voice actors, and they asked them, What conventions are you coming to? And Jonah Scott spoke up and said, I'm going to Ferlandia this year. Oh, well, wait. There are two people on the English cast of B-Stars that live locally in Portland. Oh wow. And it is a possibility that Jonah Scott is going to find me and ask of me to allow them to come to our convention this year. And of course, if that happens, of course I will say yes. And I I will even say, I will even say that all I'm going to say is that I don't remember the names of these people specifically, but they I do know their characters, one of which is Louie, the other is Juno.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:56

Oh my cow.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:58

Yeah, one is and the other is Juno. They both live in the Portland area.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:04

I just saw them in a scene today on the TV.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:08

Yeah, so so it's a possibility that we could have more V-Stars voice actors at our con.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:17

I d okay, I don't. I don't. My ta I am having trouble staying on the ground because my tail is just kind of going crazy right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:27

Um I I'm not making any promises by any means, shape, or form. But based on everything, there is the possibility. So so if you guys really want to come to Furlandia, and you really want to see uh, you know, Joe and Scott talk about V Stars and you want to see Taven flying around the room, you know, then come to Furlandia, and um, you know, we're we're gonna have we we we have been totally blowing numbers out of the water for this this year, and um let let's just say that that this year will be the largest Firlandia ever. Um and um well, ever to this date, we'll say it that way, because I have no idea what's gonna happen in the future. To date, yeah, the largest. Yeah, yeah. When when somebody asked me uh uh last year, how when do you think you guys will get to 10,000 attendees? And I said, well, probably within the next 10 years, and um let's just say that that might now be maybe in the next three or four. Wow.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:30

I don't know if there's a venue big enough for 10,000. Well, we can actually go to the convention center across the street.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:36

Right across the street is the convention center. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:39

So we've got to stand all along, wasn't it, Total?

SPEAKER_03 1:32:43

You know, when I found this hotel, and I will I will admit that I was the one that found this hotel, the the long-term plans of Forlandia did have the convention center in mind. Yes. The convention center is great.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:56

I've been to RCC several times, and oh it's it's a great convention center, and it's it's very well placed.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:05

It would provide a lot of room for me to fly around.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:08

It would. True. It definitely would. And higher ceilings so you'd be able to fly fly even higher.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:13

I wouldn't keep hitting my little puppy head on the ceiling. Nice.
