More Information
  • I ran into a bulldog… which did not look very bulldog-like.  For reference, you can learn about bulldogs here.
  • I talk a bit about the Enchanting Infuser mod.
  • Shortly thereafter, I encountered a beagle.
  • While discussing my plans, I mentioned Vaporware.
  • I also used the phrase, “Show me the money.”  This is where that came from.
  • I mentioned the Old Man Trope of sitting in a rocking chair on my porch and yelling at the neighborhood kids.
  • If you are not familiar with the online food delivery services in the US, then my comment about DoorDash might not make the most sense.
  • I also talked about the Hyper Realistic Sky resource pack I use… as well as the Dramatic Skys resource pack I used to use… and the Fabric Skybox Mod and Forge Skybox Mods necessary to get them to work.
  • When looking for the nearby zombie, I called, “Olly olly oxen free”.
  • As I headed back to Twin Spires to trade for bookshelves, I mentioned game trails.
  • I also mentioned another classic trope: Torches and Pitchforks.
  • If you heard my say, “Book ‘im, Danno.”  This is where that comes from.  It became a catchphrase of the show.
  • “And Jerry Mathers as the Beaver” was the last line in the opening credits to the old show Leave it to Beaver.  Mathers eventually wrote a book and used the phrase as the title.
  • Later on, I mentioned the name of Speedy Gonzalez.
  • I briefly mentioned force multipliers.
Music

Ever since I watched The Sting as a child, I have loved Ragtime music. However, I am not a musician, composer, or even a particularly knowledgeable fan of music. I enjoy what I enjoy and that includes many different genres of music. However, Ragtime is the soundtrack for the era I am simulating and this may the first time that modern listeners may be exposed to it. So I am including some general Ragtime links and whatever information I can find on the particular tracks I used in this episode.
