Alright everybody, welcome to Game Night. Tonight we're going to be playing Risky Settlers, Knights and Allies of the Lords of Dominion of Earth, Pandemic Edition. We'll start with picking a color and taking three cards. Oh, don't look at them yet. Now we roll the dice. Link, you roll a two, that means you get to roll the Mega Die. You roll a fourteen, that means you get three Jumbo Resource cards. Ah, don't look at them yet! Now we all grab items from the game chest that correspond to our item cards. I've got a Crystal card. Okay, everybody provide two forms of identification, one for you in real life and one for your character in the game. I've just got my license. Well, I guess we'll be playing with a rodent entrapment expansion pack then. Oh, you lose. Time to cut off your left pinky finger.

TBTL!

Oh, this is the part where I talk. On a Monday morning edition of the TVTL Summer Games Entering week two Hello everyone My name's Luke Burbank I am your host right over there My dear friend, Mr. Andrew Walsh

Good morning I know what you were doing there, Luke Good morning Last Friday on the show I accidentally left my microphone muted to start the show It was a little embarrassing for me It's been living in my head all weekend And so you decided to do me a solid at the top of today's show It would be like, hey, listen, we're all... I peed my pants, too. Yeah, we're all... I'm sorry?

That's what you do sometimes. Like, if a kid pees their pants, then you pee your pants, and then it would be like they're not, you know, the only person who peed their pants. You do that? I'm saying I would do that for you. You would do that for me. Okay, that's good to know. You know the old joke, right? The guy goes out to a bar, and he gets super-duper drunk, and he, unfortunately, upchucks all over himself. And he's like, oh gosh, I'm going to be in real trouble with the wife And the guy says, his friend says, no, here's what you do You put ten bucks in your pocket of your shirt And you say that somebody threw up on you And that they gave you ten bucks for the dry cleaning So he goes home, do you know this joke, Andrew? I don't think so He goes home, and his wife says, oh my goodness, you threw up on yourself He goes, no, no, no, the guy actually threw up on me And he gave me ten bucks for the dry cleaning and she reaches in his pocket and pulls out the money and she goes, but this is $20. He goes, oh yeah, but he also crapped my pants.

That's a really good joke. And the sad thing is, I think you might have told it to me before. I probably have told that. Again, as we learned recently,

it's new to us. So much is new to us because of how faulty our memories are these days.

I do like that, though. That's not a—well, you know me. You've told me jokes before, and I have just been so non-browy about it. The genuine joy you took from that is, honestly, I'm going to ride that high all week. I think you have told me that before, too, but it's just so good. It's so good. All right. What are we doing here?

I'm going to need all the energy I can get this week because I believe as this is airing, I will be working alongside my dad, doing all manner of tough physical labor that I am just not versed in. But I'm trying to do this project where I basically convert the garage of this house that I'm working on into TBTL studios. And it's going to have a little kitchen and a little living room. and I'm trying to put in something called scissor trusses. So I am going to be, and I said this, I think, on a recent recording of the Summer Games, I am going to be wishing that I was just doing podcasts again, I think. I'm going to be very ready. When we're all done with the Summer Games, I'm going to be so happy to get back to my normal life as a pampered baby who just talks into microphones.

So you were talking about these, and I think a scissor truss is something different, But you did mention something on the show related to this project that I think is also related probably to these trusses in some way about the fundamental structure of the roof of this thing. And you have those, are they like not A frames, but you have some sort of a, you were talking about the wood that creates triangles, for lack of a better word, up at the top of the roof area. And you were like, hey, we can knock those out. And your dad was like, no, no, no, those are fundamental to the structure. Like, you can't get rid of those because that's adding support, right?

Well, what they actually are, yeah, what these are is basically, like, rafters. Like, imagine when you walk, like, if you were standing in your living room and you just looked at the ceiling, that's a series of 2x4s, probably, that are running, basically, that are horizontal. And then there's been sheetrock put over them, and, you know, they've been painted, and now that looks like a ceiling. Now imagine if you took the sheetrock off and you just had the rafters, the 2x4s that are running.

horizontally those are in the garage currently and I wanted to get rid of them because there's a very high kind of a frame ceiling that could be very cool to expose it would just be a nice it would make the place feel larger but when I proposed taking those rafters out are the things that are just running they're basically seven feet off of the ground and just running horizontally about every two feet my dad was like those are actually creating structural support for the entire roof right because it's not just yeah so so what we have to do is put in something that will continue to keep that support going but is a little bit higher and is more angled so that it

will it will just open it up in there a little bit and then will you then expose the roof though or will you also sheetrock that again so it's a ceiling again um i want to leave it as exposed

as possible but it will just come down to what makes practical sense yeah my dad was saying something about sheet rocking it but um we'll have to see i like i'm very into um things being you know rough hewn and industrial and it's going to have a poured cement floor like i'm having some guys come out and pour a new floor once we've roughed in all the plumbing i'm going to get to operate a concrete saw andrew where i'm cutting these trenches in the existing garage floor to run pipes so that uh you know the toilet and the uh kitchen area and stuff will all function so i'm going to be wielding a concrete saw this week all kinds of things are happening for lb well there

was one thing that i did want to get at with that so if we've described these support beams as best as possible then again not the scissor truss not the new kind that you're getting that are going to give you more room but just the kind that go kind of parallel to the floor but are up in the ceiling and add support after you mentioned that you know i um was out in my garage for some reason And we have, you know, like our garage, there's nothing fancy about our garage. Oh, great.

Now you're making an ADU as well.

Yeah, no. No, I actually like having it as just kind of an old school garage in there. And there's a workbench and that's really cool. And that's where we keep our garbage cans and everything. Anyway, but I looked up and I saw that our garage has those same, you know, not scissor trusses, but the same support beams going across the top. Except some, and I'm going to use this word, I think wisely, moron at some point decided to try to make the garage door like an electric garage door. Now, the garage door is not the kind that is divided into three different panels that kind of roll and scroll up into the ceiling. It's like a flat garage door that's kind of old school and it kind of pulls out and in and then goes up, if you can kind of imagine that. but some idiot decided to try to you know install whatever the mechanism is that makes that an electric garage door and maybe at some point it worked but they did it in the shittliest way possible and they just that's how Flanders would say yes and they just cut through two of those support beams Luke and then dangled oh no dangled the contraption from the ceiling using just um just like using these like kind of uh perforated metal straps so it actually and it doesn't do anything anymore because if it ever worked it stopped working forever ago um and it's you know and i don't need we don't need an electric garage door opener and that thing is just like kind of like dangling and swinging from the ceiling right in between these two boards that they just sawed out to the middle of and so because of your conversation now there are still other support beams there are still plenty of other support beams in the garage but because of that conversation about your scissor trusses that we had on tbtl like a month or two ago at this point i now realize Oh, and we had actually our friend Roden over who knows from these things to talk about how ways we can kind of shore that up so that eventually, you know, because you can see that where the centers of those beams were just cut out. It's already bowing, you know, like the beams are kind of, I mean, just a little bit, but you can tell that they're starting to point down. I'm just like, what? I mean, just the way people treated this property drives me bananas.

People do the craziest thing. I've been opening up this wall in the house that's going to ultimately be a sliding glass door, and we're looking at the header, it's called, which is the big, really kind of burly support beam, and it's just made out of a series of smaller, like, two-by-fours that are what you'd call sistered together, and it's just like, wow, what were they thinking in 1935 when they did this? Now, I just sent you a couple of pictures of this space, Andrew, so you can visualize it. And I will say this. I emailed it to you. This, like, if I didn't need this room for it to be TVTL Central and possibly a little sort of apartment, I would love to leave it as a garage because it is the most garage-y garage that's ever garaged. Like, it's got some, you know, long-ago oil and paint stains on the concrete. There's a real, like, legit workbench in there. There's a ladder that's built into the wall That goes up to the loft Where they used to keep all like tools And spare pipes and things like that

The lighting in there is kind of perfect The way you have it set up now too Is that chair the chair you sat in staring at your lawnmower waiting for it to charge up?

That is exactly what that chair was there for, as you know, Andrew. Like, I, when I'm out at the house, I love nothing more than if I've actually spent the day doing something semi-productive, sitting on that chair with a drink, staring into the garage. Oh, yeah. Like, it's just, it's such a perfect, it has one light bulb, which is the maximum amount of light you should ever have in a garage. You know what I mean? It's just like. Wait, I'm counting three. Oh, I guess it's been a long time since I've looked at it. Does it have three light bulbs? Okay, well, that's two too many.

But they're still giving off this, like, nice warm glow that I really like. I actually really like this photo. We could use this as the show pic. Oh, yeah, there are three. Or maybe my janky garage situation. But I – oh, man, what was I going to say? Oh, a long time ago, Luke. Like, I mean, I'm talking, like, a couple months ago now. On the show, do you remember me saying, hey, Luke, there's this little thing in my life that's related to my house That brings me a weird amount of pleasure It's just like this little moment That I have every now and then And I was going to tell you what it was but we never got around to it Does that even ring a bell to you?

This is why you listen to the Summer Games people We finally finished some of these conversations

Do you have any recollection Of even what I'm talking about? I just was like there's this one And there were two things I wanted to tell you And I said I'll start with the other one And we talked about that for a while I think it was my trip to the dump And then I never got around to telling you about this weird little moment that brings me joy and here's what it is so again our garage is no great shakes it's kind of like the inside kind of looks like yours only it's filled with more junk already um and got some work benches and stuff in there and i'm with you like i have a chair out there our chair is a um we used to have this little dinette set that had like kind of 1960s eras uh 1960s era dinette chairs that i liked um but one of them started to split we have different ones now and we tried to um genevieve repaired this with a little bit of glue it's not in perfect shape but it was good enough to give to goodwill we thought but goodwill rejected it so we're not taking this chair like this head of the split here and it was at the seam it wasn't like a crack across the upholstery anyway we were surprised we brought it back to the garage we keep on saying we're gonna get rid of it but now it's kind of become my garage chair and i just love it as my garage chair and sometimes i'll do the same thing you're done mowing you have a big thing of gatorade and you're sitting there and you're panting a little bit more than you should be and you're just kind of staring out from your garage and I love it but the little moment of joy I'm talking about it happens maybe daily especially now in the summertime but it gets warm in the garage you know just there's a couple of windows and just it collects heat but it's this very like this is very kind of for lack of a better word a kind of woody warmth and when I am closing the garage door again it's a flat garage door that I kind of pull down from the ceiling right and it's old and you pull it down my garage kind of burps on me a little bit it gives me just a little putting it that way sounds gross but it gives me a little blast of the warm garage air it wafts it just wafts its air at me a little bit and i love it so much it just is such a comforting feeling of this warm air that smells and we have a lot of we have a lot from old projects and whatever we have a lot of wood in that garage so it kind of smells like lumber a little bit and it just it's like this little it's just like this little tiny thing that i could have never i can barely describe it let alone invent it you know what i mean and right like it's like this little thing and i'm just like i love my little house oh i know i know what you're talking

about and i can't think of an example off the top of my head but i think everybody has those just little kind of thing that for whatever reason just infuses you with a feeling of satisfaction and joy yeah and comfort sort of yeah yeah yeah no that's nice my the i'm it's going to be kind of a shame i mean obviously i'm doing this project but like if you look at the inside of this garage the one that i'm working on it's so rustic it's just so kind of unchanged from the 1930s when they built it it's like there's no insulation it's just wood it looks like where one of the lumineers would get married they're the people that do that hey ho song like if you hung some edison bulbs in there it looks very much like a lumineer's wedding exactly yeah so anyway that's a funny pull but it's you're right it's gonna be updated when i'm all done with it maybe if i can actually pull this off okay you know what uh we're here to talk garage renovation and play a latin quiz and we're all out of garage renovation talk so we should take a break and then come back and we will play the game that listener heidi the tbtl latin correspondent uh submitted i've got the answers here andrew i'm going to quiz you on some latin phrases coming up in a moment here on tbtl all right let's get to this um we uh burned off a fair amount of time talking about nothing at the top of the show but of course that's kind of what we do here this is From Listener Heidi in Minnesota, who is a Latin teacher and has been our Latin correspondent for, I don't know, however long the show's been around pretty much. I'm going to give you a question, Andrew, and you're going to try to figure out what the Latin means. Okay, so question number one. Hogwarts. Do you know where that is, by the way? I know that it's a Harry Potter thing. Yes. Okay. Correct. Okay, you've already got half a point. Okay, great. The school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world of Harry Potter has a motto on its school crest. I want to apologize in advance, especially to Heidi or anybody listening in Latinia. I don't know where people speak Latin. Nowhere anymore. My Latin pronunciation is going to be terrible. Somehow you just lost a point. I don't know how that even works. This is the motto on the Hogwarts crest. Draco Dormian's Nunquam Titillandus What does that mean? Draco Dormian's Nunquam Titillandus Don't play that It means don't play that broom game inside You bumbleheads I think some people are changing By the way, the name of Quidditch Because there's a sort of backlash Against J.K. Rowling Or however you say that person's name And so there are people that are really into Quidditch But they don't want it to be identified with her anymore So I think they came up with a new name for that These are the options What does it mean? Does it mean beware of dragons who sleep here? Does it mean Dracula founded this

900 years ago? Does it mean A sleeping dragon Must never be tickled Or does it mean Don't let Dracula do cartwheels? My goodness Draco Dormian's Nunquam Titillandus I think the first one was dragons sleep here No, the first one was, yeah, dragons sleep here Beware of dragons who sleep here I think it's got to be that Because I don't know much about Harry Potter at all But it might be that idea of, you know, waking a sleeping dragon You have these, you have, I believe, these children who have powers, right? I mean, is that accurate? Like, literally, I think that's accurate You have children who have powers They're like the idea of waking the dragon within. I'm going to go with the one. I want to give you half a point because you were sort of right. It did involve a sleeping dragon, but the actual answer is a sleeping dragon must never be tickled. Wow, that surprises me. I thought that Heidi was just having a little fun with us there about tickling dragons. Yeah, it also surprises me because I feel like the thing about Potter and, of course, producer emeritus Jen Andrews was a huge Potter head. it's interesting because it's not a very i mean i'm sure that there are people who love harry potter would point out the there is humor woven into it but it is in a way a fairly earnest production you know like it's not as i remember i saw the movies with addy because she was that age um so i i have some experience with i don't remember it being a lot of jokes like don't tickle a sleeping dragon it's more like the fun of the movie and the books comes from its kind of wonder and in a way seriousness you know it's good versus evil it's like intense yeah um but that's i guess a little easter egg for people don't tickle a sleeping dragon all right what is the translation of the virginia state motto which is sick temper tyrannis who i feel like i should know this i need that i need that i need the choices but i should know this this is also of course what john wilkes booth said in the latin after he assassinated president lincoln he famously jumped down onto the stage broke his ankle and i don't know if he yelled it before he shot lincoln or if he yelled it when he hit the stage but he yelled sick semper tyrannis uh does it mean This is what tyrants do Don't become sick In the ways of a lizard Beware Lest rulers become tyrants Or thus Always to tyrants Three it was option number Three beware Lest rulers become tyrants Lest rulers become tyrants Please Final answer Then it's four yes it's okay i knew it i said you know that's the thing kids learn from me just go in with confidence and you'll always get them right okay that's interesting i i thought i thought it was

thus thus always to tyrants now there's something else that um jason schwartzman's character says in rushmore which is like sick transia glory or something that i was for a long time think i thought he was saying what john wilkes booth said after he killed lincoln i was like that's pretty intense and then i realized no it's not that's not what he's saying but it is the state motto or it's on the no i just think it's just some latin that you know some latin that that character is quoting because he's no no no i'm sorry but this this actual latin phrase it's it is still on the

state seal and what which is kind of i guess i mean you know we're going around thankfully undoing a lot of confederate bullshit that's seems like is that why is that your i mean i guess as an idea we don't want tyrants so saying you know we're gonna get you if you're a tyrant isn't a terrible sentiment but the fact that it was also identified with a guy killing lincoln yeah right like was it the virginia state motto before john wilkes booth yelled it or did they let me just put it this way if they did it after he yelled it that's not a great yeah no it must have been first it must have been first okay what does the famous okay so i'm giving you have one right and one slightly less right giving you one and a half so far what does the famous julius caesar quote no i don't

have any right you've given i don't have any right because i guessed wrong about the dragon

You didn't put it, you didn't lock in, well, but you did have the sleeping part, right? It was just a different answer that involved the dragon sleeping. No, let's. Okay, we're not going to give you that one. Let's keep this clean. Let's keep this clean. But this one, thus always to tyrants, you had not locked in your answer. Yes, I did. You have negative five points.

I have negative five points because I was trying to cheat, so I lost more. Okay, here we go.

What does the famous Julius Caesar quote, Veni Vidi Vici, mean? It's supposed to be pronounced, ah, like, weenie weedy weakey.

Oh, right, right.

That was one of the things we learned in the early days of this from Heidi was, because, you know we had this latin phrase motto if you will for the show ad proximum con william yep which was on to the next party but it's spelled looks like ad proximum convivium and heidi explained that it's like the v is like a w so uh what does the famous julius caesar quote

i would like to do this without the options because i mean weedy wiki um it's i came i something i conquered oh but i came i i want to do this without the options okay i won't read you the options i came i caught i conquered i came i crafted i conquered nope not a big crafter okay um i really can't remember that middle word and it's driving me bananas because i feel like i could i could make up some of this negative pointage that i have right now for trying to

It's plus 10 points if you don't use the hints.

Okay. You'd be at plus five points. Right. Jay-Z says it in a song. Does he? Do you see that I named the show the other day? Did I tell you this? I'm not a lawnmower man. I'm a lawnmower man. Man. I don't. Okay. You got to give me the options, I guess. God darn it.

I came. I conquered. I left. I came. I saw. I conquered. I fought. I struggled. I conquered. I fought. I conquered. I ruled.

Oh, I came, I saw, I conquered then. Okay, I thought it was all alliterative, but it's not. I came, I saw, I conquered. Okay, I'll take the point. Average point on that one. Negative four now.

Okay. Which of these car brands is actually a Latin word? Saturn. Volkswagen. Oh, I did it again. Volkswagen. Yeah. Not Volkswagen. What was the first one? First one. Audi. Audi, okay. Or if you're over the age of 60, Audi. Okay. Ah, you got an Audi? Audi. I don't know why Norm MacDonald just came. Yeah, right. Volkswagen, Ford, or Toyota?

Well, I know it's not Volkswagen, because that's something like the car of the people or something in German. I'm going to say I wonder if there's a chance That it's as simple as Ford But it's also his last name I'm going to say Audi You are going to be absolutely right It means listen In Latin Okay good Did you give me a bell? I'll give myself a bell Okay great

Okay, now you're minus two points for double Oh no, oh shoot God, Andrew, is this your first time Playing Knifey Spoonie? Which of these car brands Is also a Latin word? Okay, which of these car brands Okay, this is interesting So which of these car brands is actually a Latin word? You got that correct with Audi And then the next question is, which of these car brands Is also a Latin word? So it's another list of car brands That are One of them is going to be Latin as well So we're just continuing on with the theme Jeep Ferrari Volvo or Volvo if you're sexy Nissan and that's the last one Nissan I was looking at the correct answer thinking it was another option and it's not so that was why you I sounded like I thought there was one more step there what was the second one second was Ferrari so that's such an Italian sounding word

but of course I mean it's got its roots there but And then the last one was Nissan, which I feel like I'm asking for trouble here, but because Ferrari is an Italian word and I feel like there would be more – I feel like Nissan might come from more of an Asian culture. Yes, I think Nissan I'm sensing is Japanese maybe. Yeah, so I'm going to go with – yeah, that makes sense, Nissan. So I'm going to go with Ferrari, the Latin word. It is, in fact, Volvo. Oh, no. I guess. That makes sense. It ends in a vowel. Yes. You know, that's Audi. I was thinking, you know, ends in an I and Volvo ends in an O. Like, yeah, ending in a vowel is a good tip off. Dang it. Volvo, I guess, means I roll in Latin, which that would make sense. If it ends in an O, it means it's first person singular. Uh-huh. I know that. I took some Latin growing up. Oh, I thought you were just making that up. No, I'd like you when you should really be doing better at this. I know when you do the breakdowns like I'm like amo is I love, I believe. Oh, wow. All right. The Marine Corps motto Semper Fi is short for which of these Latin phrases Semper Venus always to the end Semper Fidelis always faithful Semper Filius always a son or Semper Fiat You really have to see-ot. No, that was just me. Semper fiat, let it always be done. Well, that song's going to be in my head all day. What was the second one? Second was semper fidelis, always faithful. One of these is what semper fidelis. I'm going to say semper fidelis, always faithful. You are correct, my friend. All right. All right. How many negative points do I have now? You are at negative three. But we're on the last question, which is worth four points. points wow you could actually win you can go into the positive you can go to positive one if you get this right okay i'm okay what does canada's latin motto ah mari usque ad mare mean i'm sorry for my just brutal pronunciation a like the letter a mari is spelled m-a-r-i usque u-s-q-u-e ad ad mare, M-A-R-E. So what does the Canadian Latin motto, Amare Usque Ad Mare, mean? I'm sorry. Excuse me. Ketchup chips. Are any of these the options? Alright, go ahead. SCTV is better than SNL. Rick Moranis was a true... Oh, he's hilarious, dog. Who is? Rick Moranis. The motto, does it mean the land of

horses does it mean from sea to sea does it mean the land of queen mary or does it mean we march to the sea i want to go with one of the sea ones i like how you're thinking i don't think there's a lot of was there a lot of marching like i don't know the history of canada but like was there a lot of like we're marching to the sea that seems more like european right i'm gonna say from sea to sea you are going to be right at this look at a grand get out the rye bread and the mustard grandmama coming from behind with a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to finish plus one ladies and gentlemen it's andrew walsh a walk-off latin answer i could find yeah that's good no that That sounds like celebratory music. He's a doer, and he got more done, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, exactly. All right. Well, look at me. And also this one. Didn't know you like to get wet, though. I can hold my head high. Yes, you can. As I talk to Genevieve later over dinner. Thank you, Heidi, for sending in that fun quiz. That was fun and informative. Yeah, and Heidi's working on another one already for the Winter Games, Luke, that I'm excited about. Can I forward promote the Winter Games? She's going to do one that is Latin, like I think Latin translations of our TBTL audio drops. That's going to be a lot of fun. Hey, let's thank our daily donors who are making TBTL possible with their support, and we sure do appreciate it. Folks like Molly Simon out there in Stanwood, Washington. Oh, look who decided to wake up. The cat. Oh. Keep going, buddy. When Bubbles hears Molly Simon's name, she's like, I got to come. I got to come into the studio for this. Things are happening. Yes.
