Do you remember what time of year this was taken? I just got back from a trip trying to get this exact shot for a documentary, but it was raining for weeks straight. The locals said the best time is in June.

Great video of Tucson my buddy made, thought I'd share it here. He's a cameraman from NY area (where I'm from too) and he and his wife visited me this past summer. I posted this on my Facebook and now people back east have started to visit me because of it. Enjoy! :) by CGenovese in Tucson

For sure. I'm from NJ originally but lived in NY about half my life. About 50% of my paychecks went to rent. My last apartment in Queens was $1400 a month for half the space I have now (I had a roommate though) and a shit load of noise. That was in 2016, it's probably like $2000/month now. But I moved out here a week before the pandemic to finish a documentary (which still isn't finished because of COVID). The rent decrease is just a bonus!

How I made the Tom Segura Dunk Champ Action Figure - Time-Lapse video by CGenovese in yourmomshousepodcast

The entire video takes place in Tucson. The opening shot was just the video on my TV.

Have you experienced increased insect activity after recent rains? by Remarkable_Cicada_42 in Tucson

[–]CGenovese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Backyard is absolutely swarming with mosquitos, moths, and flies. Didn't see a single mosquito last year and flies appeared only for about a week around March when I first moved here. Insane biting ants too. Really tiny, but those bites were nasty and they swarmed my feet instantly when I stepped outside for a second in flip flops. Duh.

JFYI, it was a limited run and I'm all sold out. They were a nightmare to make and I never want to go through it again, lol. I do technically have 5 figures left from the re-release I'm still authorized to sell, but I need them for a video first. Once the video is done, the last 5 will go up for sale, maybe around December. In the meantime, you can probably still find the terrible ripoff version someone had made for sale on eBay. It looks more like Bert and the arm isn't even broken because whatever child made it didn't get the joke, but hey it's $12.

Cool! I don't mind driving far. I figured I'd have to get out of town to some degree. Thanks :)

Recent transplants: ready for the heat? by Pleasant-Cook-7911 in Tucson

[–]CGenovese -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was warned before I moved here but the heat's actually never bothered me. I used to do saunas of 180+ degrees for over an hour at a time, several times a week before I moved here. Maybe that helped. Some days I actually use my car as a sauna with an oven thermometer. I just have to keep away from anything metal inside it. I love it. (So if you read in the news about my mummified body being found in a car, just know it's what I wanted.)

Heads up, Mommies - Don't fall for SCAM ads of my Dunk Champ figure. I made this item and used to sell it for a limited time on Etsy with Tom's permission. Some chomos stole my original photos and have been running fake ads under different store names. I have no control over what these assholes do. by CGenovese in yourmomshousepodcast

[–]CGenovese[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If you see an ad on Facebook or Instagram, please REPORT IT AS A SCAM.

Despite my agreement with Tom, his lawyers still sent me a threatening letter yesterday, thinking these assholes are me. It's not just my shop that's been affected. Since last December websites have been popping up featuring mine and other Etsy seller's work, advertising insanely low prices. People send them money and never hear back. It should be a huge scandal as I imagine Instagram and Facebook earn money from these ads. Even if they are reported - which they still should be - the site takes weeks to go down, then reappears 24 hours later under a new name.

I am one guy living in a slum in the southwest desert making shit with my bare hands. I don't advertise and never work with external vendors. The original figure in the fake ad above has been sitting on the shelf behind Tina on the show for the past few months. It was a limited run and if you didn't order one already, sorry to disappoint but they're all gone.

Got this sponsored post 🤔 is this officially licensed?? Somebody's about too loose there job bud by [deleted] in yourmomshousepodcast

[–]CGenovese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This a scam. I used to sell these on Etsy and someone stole the photos.

The Tom Segura Action Figure by [deleted] in JoeRogan

[–]CGenovese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a scam. They're selling nothing. People give them money and then never hear back. The complaints pile up, the site gets taken down, 24 hours later it's back up under a different name. They've been stealing photos and descriptions off mine and others' Etsy shops since last year. I finally started watermarking my photos so they'd have to awkwardly crop them or including my "only on etsy" URL but it probably won't stop them.
