      I just got out of HAKEA Remand centre in West Australia . Maximum security.
      Even devoid of electronics, regular gen pop cells are worse than this. Solitary confinement is only a fraction worse, because you can't hang yourself.
      Seeing that door at the start, the colour, the plexiglass, multiple panels on a single door... I recommend everyone spend a few days in such a place to make you love life again.
      Cured my depression. Heard someone caught in razor wire screaming and pleading for help as they bled out above us.
      Why am I writing this here? Because you don't know how good your shitty life is until everyone and everything in it is taken away from you, and you spend your days trying to work out how to kill yourself.
      All because someone made an allegation with zero evidence, and I didn't have $15000 to bail / bond myself out.
      I spent years watching RLM, hot ones, 8 bit guy depressed as fuck . Don't be.
      I lost half my family to these false allegations because "you seem the type to do that".
      Live. Please.
      Surround yourself with positive people that you care about and whom also care as much about you.
      Don't settle for what you're used to.
      When you've lost everything, you can go anywhere and be whoever you want.

    Dear friends, I discovered upon reading the description of the auction we won, Baby Bink's neck condition was indeed disclosed by the good folks at Propstore! - "It exhibits visibly torn silicone throughout the hands and neck, and its ears have ripped off from age." - We still love our Baby Bink. He's a perfect little baby with robot parts inside him. We will get him working as he's a robot Bink. If/When more Binks come up for auction we will aggressively pursue ownership of them. We trust in the quality of items offered by Propstore.com and that the description of the items is fair and accurate. We will have the world's largest collection of Baby Binks on Earth.

      There are examples from the Rick Baker auction where some Baby Bink silicone heads turned to goo and fell apart. If it is made of silicone it is best to keep it in a display case or away from the elements (Rick Baker kept a lot of his props in a dark, dry room and inside of ziploc bags which helped preserve stuff like Thriller zombie appliances.)

      what I always found charming about rlm is that most of them, professionally, are behind the scenes guys. Mostly editors, doing some voice spots, Jack does some writing, Jim and Colin do vfx, so on and so forth. They don't really like to boast their craft unless it's relevant, I don't know if they still do anymore but I remember the rlm guys talking about mostly doing freelance editing jobs as a source of income. It was really cool because you never hear them talk about it much.
      But then you get to Rich Fucking Evans. Did he specifically design every aspect of the sets? Maybe not. But he built them, definitely with help but you know with his experience he was the one in charge of building sets. He built the Wheel of the Worst and he rubs it in as a joke because they keep wrecking it. But you never really hear him brag about making the ground the entire cast is literally standing on. Imagine Half in the Bag without the Plinkett house set. He fumbles his words and does the funny fall and scream, and he is a craftsman of great merit.

    I should really dig out my old dailies from the film so you can see some of the torture those Baby Binks went through. Like the time I wrapped the stunt dummy version you bought in a blanket and came out of the twin baby actors' trailer, carrying "him", and then, (to the delight of the spectator crowd standing across State Street in Chicago), started lifting him up in the air, higher and higher, then slightly tossing him a little higher still... and catching him-- and the crowd is loving it... and then I start throwing him even higher... and then a LOT higher... and now the people aren't so delighted... and, soon I'm tossing little Bink, like 15 feet up, and decide to make a one-handed catch of Bink's left arm which I then used to spin him like the end of a windmill blade, a few times around, until releasing him, so that he flies like 30 feet into the air-- whereupon-- (right on cue) one of my A.D.s calls my name, distracting me, and, to the horrified SCREAMS of the crowd across the street, Baby Bink lands head-first on the sidewalk!
    Fun times!

    RLM often depict themselves as super depressed and 'empty inside'. While I hope they are overplaying that part, they are truly blessed in that they have found each other. UA-cam has allowed many people to turn their passion into a living, but the vast majority of 'content creators' work by themselves, or maybe employ people to help them. But I guess it's very rare that an actual circle of friends manages to make great videos together so consistently and over such a long time.

    You know Richard Evans is the Wisconsin neighbor who helps out with any housework you were intending to do. Just insists that he help out. And ends up making an entire thing of it.

    the more i learn about Rich Evans (being an actual carpenter) it makes me realize Rich is the mos normal RLM member.

      "Guys Being Creative And Funny Doing Random Projects And Being Friends" would make such a good title for this video; hey Mike, Jay, Rich, get on it!

    I get the feeling that Mike's treatment of Baby Bink is a window into how he treats real children

    Never laughed so hard than at Freddie sketching the Dick the birthday boy photos from memory.

    I’m glad to see the channel transitioning to this more kind of documentary esque style as of recent

    This was actually really cool to see. I would love more behind-the-scenes stuff like this.

    All jokes aside, Rich is impressively crafty and practical.

    This is the content I subscribed for. I’m glad they’re still squeezing laughs out of the infamous Birthday Boy pictures.

    Seing that "Smiling Friends" poster during the Gremlin repair segment fills me with joy, and the hope to get both Zach Hadel and Michael Cussack on BoTW.

    That recording booth reminds me of the soundproof room in my high school. They went to all this effort to put up foam sound dampening, only to realise they weren't able to reroute power outlets into it. So they then cut a hole in the wall about the size of a letterbox and fed extension cords through it from the next room over, the actual music classroom. So all this sound of people messing around with keyboards in the classroom bled into whatever was being recorded in there.

    The twist in the end is the hardest I've laughed with one of your videos in a while.
