On the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which celebrity has their star mounted on a wall as a sign of

0:05.7

respect? The answer to that, at the end of the show. My name's Tom Scott, and this is Blatrol.

0:15.5

Why did the alien cross the road to the podcast studio? I don't know, but I've locked the door just in case. Let me introduce you to our out-of-this-world guests. We start all the way from Australia, from his own YouTube channel, about design and things in the world. I could have probably given you a better intro than that. Julian O'Shea. Great to be here. Yes, out-of-this-world aliens. That's Australians. Same vibe. Same energy.

0:39.6

Now, this is your second episode. Indeed. How were you feeling about last time?

0:43.8

Not bad. Not bad. I, that idea of just chuck random stuff at the wall I'm good at, I think. Yeah.

0:50.3

My bold strategy of name every idiom that ever existed was not a strong one, but you've got to start somewhere.

0:56.5

What are you working on at the minute? Because this episode's going to come out like a few months after recording. What are you working on right now that the audience will be able to see?

1:04.5

So I'm doing some projects around design where I actually build some stuff. So so far today, my YouTube channel's been a lot of

1:11.1

showing interesting things in the world. Time to bust out some tools and become a bit of a

1:14.9

maker. Also joining us from the same part of the world from the YouTube channel Tibby's. Toby Handy,

1:21.1

how are you doing? Hello, I'm happy to be here. It's lovely to have you back. How did you feel

1:26.1

about the last episode you were on? I feel like that was my chance to warm up and get used to this, so I'm hoping to have some

1:33.1

bangers to say this time. I believe that's the first time the word bangers has ever been said

1:39.6

on this podcast. Short that one off. What are you working on at the minute that'll be coming out

1:44.0

in the next couple of months are you working on at the minute that'll be coming out in the next

1:44.4

couple of months? Always working on videos, but specifically tomorrow night, I'm hoping to do

1:51.1

some astronomy stargazing for a video and filming my telescope set up. I'm actually covering

1:56.9

an astronomy exam and going through some of the questions. So that's what's on my brain right now. Oh, lovely. Are you heading out of the city? Are you going into the outback here or just seeing what you can see from the backyard? Yeah, I probably wouldn't say outback, but I'm going to try and drive for a bit and find some dark skies. Somewhere with not too many trees in the way either. So I'm not sure exactly where I'm going to go yet. That's tomorrow night's problem. Also joining us today from the Overdue Rentals podcast, Matthew Shugman. Yes, thank you so much for having me back. You are the last one of this trio from the previous time you all were together here. It's almost like we block record these. How was your first episode? You know, it's so strange sometimes when I listen to the episodes that I'm not on, of course. You know, you get things right away. And now when you're in thick of it, it's like all of a sudden your brain just kind of overloads. But I'm there. I'm ready. I think I got the flow. And what's coming up for you on the podcast? You can join us. Basically, every week, you can get a new celebrity guest, actors, directors, though, with the Writers Guild and SAGafstra Guild strike right now. We'll have some special guests, some stuff pre-recorded for everybody that each week they can come and listen to. Talking about movies that don't get talked about anymore.

3:08.5

Well, good luck to all three of you.

3:10.3

This show is a little like attaching a GPS to a squirrel.

3:13.0

It'll take you on a journey with more twists and turns than you ever thought possible,

3:16.6

but hopefully with fewer fleas.
