but something you didn't meet No,no, no. It is awesome.
Cut three. It was great.We got lost separately at our owns y
(03:54):
minutes trying to figure out the conventioncenter is massive? Are all convention center?
Is that big? I think thatone is it is? I think
every city has a big one,right, and then there's a small ones
like in this area DCS. TheWall three Convention Center is the big one.
Then there's like Arlington convention Center,dullest Expost Center. You know,
(04:15):
all the tiny ones that are alittle small, but you know, when
you drive by it, it doesn'tlook that big. It doesn't look that
big, but it's this like tieredand I think it technically is underground,
dude, some bits of it orat least well, yeah, I think
where the main hall was is undergroundbecause well, yeah, when you enter
a street level to pay on thestreet level yard area, yeah, you
could be on the second floor.But it's awesome, Tom, you don't
(04:38):
know what that is. That issort of the big comic book, video
game entertainment convention in this area.And we got invited. It was great.
We went, Eric, Sun Maxwent. They they Max pootered out
during the day. That's when Erichad to leave. He walked to the
whole Mind you, you guys werethere an hour before I was there.
But I told you even early.I mean I think dad early, I
(05:00):
got a great parking spot in frontof the building. Good for you.
I oh my god, I asked, I don't walk thirty minutes to the
convention center because so this I waslike, oh, there we go.
Anything it was was. It waskind of busy, so I didn't want
to park there, so I spotheroed something and I was like, Oh,
that looks close on the map.And then when you do the walking
distance, I was like, oh, this is a lot farther on the
(05:24):
map than I realized. I parkedin the Washington Plaza Hotel. I think
that's what a Crown Plaza hotel somethinglike that. It's where it's where we
ended, uh the Pride parade atit was by there, Jesus. Yeah.
So I was like, oh,the map looks so close. I
was like, oh, this isnot at all. So I was walking
through like some burrows. I waslike, am I in DC? Still
(05:46):
it doesn't feel like DC? Wow? You you should have yet next year.
I got my steps in Mabe,I got my steps in two.
We walked up and down that thingtwice, you know. In Max,
that's why I pooped out. Heshould have should have sat him down a
little longer than He's fine. He'sfine. But yeah, there's the thing.
If I got the parking on Wednesday, I would have gotten right there,
right next to the building, havebeen like fifteen bucks. But oh,
(06:09):
wow, that's what you're gonna do. I don't know why you just
don't just park randomly. You're notgonna I didn't get a ticket. I
don't even pay for parking on Saturday. Oh good for you. Knock on
wood scratch, as you'll find outin a couple of days. Probably no,
I didn't get a thing yet there. Maybe it's the delayed one.
Never trust those parking tools. Theyaren't out in DC during the week they
are during the weekend. They're alittle When I wanted to go see Spider
(06:31):
I wanted to go see across Spidervers this weekend, I did it.
I parked in like a paid parkingspot temporarily to go get my ticket because
fun fact, you buy a ticketin person, you're not paying five bucks
of booking fee and online fee andall that. So I did that,
say five bucks, you know,paid paid for it on my soda,
and uh. I was like,I gotta get out of here. And
literally as soon as I was leaving, the parking person entered that like paid
(06:55):
area, Like, ha, nottoday, Yeah, what does that mean?
That would have gotten caught and thatwould have given me a ticket because
I didn't pay for the parking Howdid you pick? How'd you get in?
Then it was like an open line. It's like those like we go
to the little Kiosk thing or whateverthat's in the that's right at the end
of the lot. But anyway,Awesome Con up and down. What was
(07:15):
your highlight of awesome Con was inyour low light? Highlight? In your
light the highlight was watching Max seeeverything that was going on and him going
crazy for all of the cool things. He's going in and out of the
crowd. He was going in andout come back. Um. Highlight was
that. The low light was thatwe didn't get to stay longer with you
and see more of the vendors because, like I said, he did tap
(07:38):
out. Even though my dumbass thoughtthat Awesome Awesome Con Junior was on the
other end of the thing, butwhen it was actually right next to one,
it was it was the same setupas the we went I think in
twenty eighteen, which was nice becauseit was like, all right, we
know where everything Well you didn't,but I remembered where everything was, like,
oh, the artists are over here, this is where the kids stuff
(07:59):
is. Um, what was itin your little lette was just not knowing
the setup. Not knowing the setup. Yeah, and then also to not
getting my press pass because I lovehaving a press pass. What happens Eric
Willie Nilly was like, let mego to will call. I saw a
text. Everyone stuck on was like, I don't think there's a will call.
There's a press because I saw theemails saying go to the press room.
But then I thought it was throughthe main entrance. But it was
(08:20):
through that side door that I shouldhave gone through it to press and been
like, I need to go getmy press pass. Well, the press
room was like some badass room thatwasn't by any entrance good I found and
I was like, all right,how do I get it into this damn
place? Now? That just walkedthrough a convention center. If you know
you used to the car Expo,you're going for a wedding expo. They
kind of having one specifically the carexpo is that whole area that we were
(08:43):
in, and then upstairs is wherethe European cars. Yeah yeah, well
but this is like, oh whereeverything is here? It's there, it's
here, it's you miss things youdon't get you gotta go all three days
to find out what's what's what?We should have gone max some time.
It wasn't fathers there would have gonesomething. It is interesting though, because
like we my highlight was probably hangingout with you guys. We got a
little key chain, so a littlematching key chain, which was fun.
(09:05):
Which that that's that's how you makemoney at those conventions. Serious these key
chains. They were selling Pokemon,Pokemon, Yugio, Magic, the Gathering.
But what Pokemon set was it from? It was the first edition Pokemon
they had. It was like thefirst wave of Pokemon cards. And then
they had um sort of like anewer one that was like the newer Pokemon.
(09:26):
Look at least um. They weren'tcards. They were like stickers or
pictures someone cut put in a keychain thing. It looks dope, I
have the Magian. Why do you? Because I think for me I was
more tuned to Yugio cards than Pokemoncards. Are you talking about You can
name every hundred for the Pokemon,but that's the Pokemon the cards when we're
(09:46):
getting cards. And that's why Iwas kept a bating back and forth.
Was Yugio was my game? Baby? Oh so you played Yugo you didn't
play Pokemon? Yeah, I remember, I want a regional tournament, yes,
in Yugio. And then you playedboth because you're Pokemon is too much,
Hugo is like straight They're both notstraight forward, especially nowadays. But
can you explain to me how doyou play a Pokemon? Not right now,
(10:09):
but how do you play Pokemon thecard game? Yeah? Because because
Max, he's in a club atschool. Well, I wish I could,
Oh, I wish I could Ihave this. We used to have
this. Every child of the ninetieshad this, Like late nineties was they
would release a VHS. Is howbig Pokemon was? That was a guy
teaching you how to play the cardgame and it was a two VHS tape.
(10:31):
One was like beginners and the secondone was like now you know things,
and it's like that. It's onYouTube. Probably it would take looking
up. Yeah, Pokemon, becauseI kind of want to. I want
to help Max. He I lovethat he likes it. We've got a
lot of cards. I don't thinkwe got a couple. I gotta take
his cards to go check to seewhat they're actually legit or not, huh,
(10:52):
because I think he's got some moneyin those cards too, But you
never know what Pokemon this is theone. I don't want to click up,
but I want to help them aguy. No, it's not that
one. Oh somebody instructing you.Yeah, it might have been this one.
Is that guy for air? No? But it's like so nineties of
like this how you do it?If he's interviewing the kids and all that
stuff. There was a cool tablethere actually at Awesome Con that like it
(11:16):
was primarily like Eastern stuff, butit was primarily Pokemon and like all this
stuff that's in this video, likethey had back there, like all the
Pokemon stuff. They had Pokemon yellowand oh and green. They had um
the Japanese versions of them. Itwas like sixty bucks each. I was
(11:37):
very tempted to buy it, butI don't know. Also, I'm like,
this is cool, but does itwork? And then I lost the
table and I couldn't find it,and I was like, where is it?
There also was a Muppet table wepassed by at one point. I
wanted to go back and just justinquire how much a muppet would be,
like if I owned a Muppet.It was an actual mump. It was
like whatever puppet, but like wouldhave been cool. I'm kind of mad
(12:01):
we didn't buy the mystery box youguy. You guys can buy them online
on Amazon. Remember they were promotingthat no where they really yeah where?
I don't remember what the website wasthough you should have took a picture of
it. It is funny the awesomecons like retweeting recap things people in the
comments like what's the name of thefudge place? And awesome cons like oh
is this so? People like findingall the vendors by right because there was
(12:24):
that fudge, a huge table offudge. Good not a fudge man,
but look good. Also another interestingthing is if you go to one of
these conventions is they have obviously there'sthe in convention center like food stops there.
Obviously DC has a couple more inthat weird like Big Food Court too,
um, but they have root beeror soda stands where essentially can you
(12:45):
buy a mug for like fifteen bucksand you can refill it throughout the whole
convention space. That was packed.That was you sure wasn't beer, No,
it was like soda. I thinkthere might have. There might have
been an alcoholic one too, butthat that one we passed by. It
was so I think it was overby Worth as was soda because then they
had the nitro brewtro brew things throughoutthe whole thing as well, right,
(13:07):
which which was self pouring because youjust scanned your credit card. Yeah,
and then they took your money.By the way, you should be impressed.
And I didn't spend that much moneyat all. Buyer at buy,
I really encouraged you. You reallydid too, because there was that game
boy sp that I was like,I almost went back and bought it for
you. I wasn't gonna lie,but then I got chastised again by that
lady who was commenting on my crisisshirt. I was like, I'm not
(13:28):
here for this right now. Whatdid she see? Like? Had an
edge to her right. I waswearing my Crisis Crew shirt, which has
Crisis Crew on the back, andshe's like, what if I'm in a
crisis, will you help me out? I was like, maybe I think
she might have been flirting with me, but I was just scared and I
ran away. So I didn't goback because she was still there. That's
(13:48):
what happens when you're in Geese.Maybe you just run away because you don't
have your ring. I don't havenothing. Don't even engage. You are
engaged to lie. Flee? Ohmy god, you know I can,
but Uh yeah, there was gameBoy, vans, spas, tons of
comics. It was. It wascool to see a lot of kids like
in parents. Like there was standsin that merge that were like completely new
(14:13):
IP comics and stuff that they werebuying their kids. Just see where I
would take off from now, Yeahthere was yeah, and like that the
comic book thing look cool. Acouple of comic book displays look cool.
Max again was like, what's acomic book Daddy? I'm like, oh
God, I almost bought um allthree um God Egyptian God cards for Yugio.
They were like five bucks at onepoint, I was like fifteen bucks.
(14:35):
I'm bad. But wait, didyou get the Ronan uh Ronan thing?
The Runan comic book comic run?Now I didn't. I'm gonna wait.
I realized, I'm like, letme just go to the library bringing
rent it for free instead of payingfor it. You know what I'm saying,
Because you could rent video games andcomic books from your local library in
Virginia. Maybe not man in Marylandwho just gotta go the right one abously
(14:56):
not everyone's gonna have him give youback that one of the Max. He
does not want to give it backto your buddy that Mary's game. He
is like, I'm gonna tell you, Daddy, I want to keep playing.
I'm like, farty, we gottaget back to Hoodie and I played
Fortnite together with Max and his dayand night with that kid at the convention
hand Max hoday, this is Fortnite. Max. Literally, he just loves
(15:18):
screaming your name. It's fine,that's fine. I called I called me
my name. So what happened?So the other night Hoodie was gracious enough
to play with me and Max onFortnite? We did little trios, was
gracious to let me blow. Thankyou very much. But what happened?
Your WiFi went out because your attachmentwent out. None your text made sense.
I said, my power went out. Waitist, I might be back,
hold on, and then I cameback on. You guys were already
(15:39):
like copping off for dinner or something. Well, because I thought you said
you were off, because it didn'tit didn't come in right, hold on,
let me let me grab my where'smy hoodie? And handed dandy hand
and Andrew Hoods also talk about thecelebrities that were at Awesome con After you
find this text message where's it?We just text each other so much you
can't find it. Oh, notyesterday, that's Sunday. That's Saturday.
(16:02):
If I were to convince you todo cosplay next year, was Austin cons
in March? What would you do? Nope? Nope, Mario, Nope,
Luigi? Where did it go?It's not even here? When do
we play Thursday? Right? Weplayed Friday? I guess you guess you
deleted text? No? Oh,Prob's gonna need Okay, that's not what
it came out with. Power wentout. It didn't say that. Right
(16:25):
there there it is. I saidpower went out? YEA said the other
day. It didn't even say that. It said next Yeah, I don't
know that's what I see. Butback to our awesome con celebrities. Uh,
longest line was for Vegeta, thevoice of Vegeta. Was that awesome
con? Obviously Karen Gillen was There'sNebula, a bunch of doctor who's Jody
Winnaker? Uh? Amy, JoeJohnson was there. Oh she's beautiful.
(16:49):
Andy Serkus was there. We weliterally like what we're like three feet from
him, which was great because I'mlike, because he was the very front.
Yeah. Usually in the front celebritylook like the autograph row. It's
usually like a lower celebrity Andy Circus, say what you will, but I
feel like there were lower select Imean he's played some like a lower celebrity,
put like a Phil Lamar, oneof the anime voice actors there,
(17:12):
not Andy Circus. Well, Vegetawas like right right after the Lord of
the Rings Crew and had the longline. I know Elijah would there's nobody
there for him. I think maybeit's just the blind got through or something.
It also is like you have tothink people might have been waiting there.
That person just came to the convention. Apparently some people were waiting five
hours just to get Karen Gillen It'sautograph real, or even just meet her
(17:33):
if they didn't want to pay forit. And then m Ashley Ackstein,
Matt lanter Um and the guy whovoices Obi Wan Roll there too, which
was cool, And I was shockedthey didn't have a long line because I'm
like, these are clone wars.Why didn't you get a picture or autograph
but one of the money and thenthe money slash didn't have didn't want to
wait in the line. There wasa line, but I was like,
I think also there was a personthere that was cutting people off, like
(17:56):
they had to go do something after. Maybe. Interesting thing is I found
out as Ashley x titing voices AskaStar Wars, she got stuck at Dullars
on Sunday night convention because apparently,like the flight got canceled. I'm like,
oh DC, goodbye. Right there, right, that's the worst stuck
at two dollars because you're literally inthe middle of nowhere, Virginia. Like,
(18:19):
where did we go? We gotthe dollarst X Post Center. Let's
get ready for the next convention.Or you go to the NA which is
close by two Yeah, that's rightby my house. Actually, let's go
get our license. I'm good.I don't want to go there. Or
I'll let you get a license.I mean, I'm not gonna have a
gun, so all right, Ihave. I have both marrit badges,
(18:41):
so that's all I need, andrifle shooting and shotgun shooting, so I
think I'm a little more trained.I wish I could find my merit badges.
I don't know where they bomb.Didn't keep your sash of Marrior badges?
No, I kept all that stuff. I feel like and I don't
know if I put it because theydemolished the house that I grew up in
to rebuild a bigger house, soI don't remember where we put all that
stuff. I gotta I gotta takea picture of that next time I go
(19:02):
home. Is what's the weirdest meritbadge I have? I feel like there's
weird ones. There's like golf meritbadge, which is like, go play
golf. You got a golf meritbadge? I think, so, like,
how many do you need to geta hundred? Right? I think
thirty something. I mean that thiswas when I did it, so I
don't know if it's different now,but yeah, but I mean there was
always the days like I worked formine up until likely like the week before
(19:22):
I turned eighteen, which is whenyou're supposed to cut out. And then
there's some where you're like their parentsare the scout master and just signing through
everything, and they're thirteen and healready an eagle scout. I'm like,
what the hell makes no sense?You only find out when you go to
summer camp, like, oh man, I'm in the hard ass troop,
not the easy ass troop. Overyere. They all got their phones and
candy and their camp. We're inthe flood zone. When our tents would
(19:48):
flood down into the ravine, Likewhat the hell you guys can survive?
Your eagles were so because we alwaysstay at the same campground every year,
or same camp area of that campevery year. It was like one year
we now have plumbing. Guess what. Only the older scouts can use the
plumbing. You younger scouts guess what, go use the out house over there.
It's be ridden. My god,um, I do we need to
(20:11):
shout out real quick my cousin Brianfor finding me the video from Mark Wahlberg

No, I've never met him.No no, no, no,
but something you didn't meet No,no, no. It is awesome.
Cut three. It was great.We got lost separately at our owns y
(03:54):
minutes trying to figure out the conventioncenter is massive? Are all convention center?
Is that big? I think thatone is it is? I think
every city has a big one,right, and then there's a small ones
like in this area DCS. TheWall three Convention Center is the big one.
Then there's like Arlington convention Center,dullest Expost Center. You know,
(04:15):
all the tiny ones that are alittle small, but you know, when
you drive by it, it doesn'tlook that big. It doesn't look that
big, but it's this like tieredand I think it technically is underground,
dude, some bits of it orat least well, yeah, I think
where the main hall was is undergroundbecause well, yeah, when you enter
a street level to pay on thestreet level yard area, yeah, you
could be on the second floor.But it's awesome, Tom, you don't
(04:38):
know what that is. That issort of the big comic book, video
game entertainment convention in this area.And we got invited. It was great.
We went, Eric, Sun Maxwent. They they Max pootered out
during the day. That's when Erichad to leave. He walked to the
whole Mind you, you guys werethere an hour before I was there.
But I told you even early.I mean I think dad early, I
(05:00):
got a great parking spot in frontof the building. Good for you.
I oh my god, I asked, I don't walk thirty minutes to the
convention center because so this I waslike, oh, there we go.
Anything it was was. It waskind of busy, so I didn't want
to park there, so I spotheroed something and I was like, Oh,
that looks close on the map.And then when you do the walking
distance, I was like, oh, this is a lot farther on the
(05:24):
map than I realized. I parkedin the Washington Plaza Hotel. I think
that's what a Crown Plaza hotel somethinglike that. It's where it's where we
ended, uh the Pride parade atit was by there, Jesus. Yeah.
So I was like, oh,the map looks so close. I
was like, oh, this isnot at all. So I was walking
through like some burrows. I waslike, am I in DC? Still
(05:46):
it doesn't feel like DC? Wow? You you should have yet next year.
I got my steps in Mabe,I got my steps in two.
We walked up and down that thingtwice, you know. In Max,
that's why I pooped out. Heshould have should have sat him down a
little longer than He's fine. He'sfine. But yeah, there's the thing.
If I got the parking on Wednesday, I would have gotten right there,
right next to the building, havebeen like fifteen bucks. But oh,
(06:09):
wow, that's what you're gonna do. I don't know why you just
don't just park randomly. You're notgonna I didn't get a ticket. I
don't even pay for parking on Saturday. Oh good for you. Knock on
wood scratch, as you'll find outin a couple of days. Probably no,
I didn't get a thing yet there. Maybe it's the delayed one.
Never trust those parking tools. Theyaren't out in DC during the week they
are during the weekend. They're alittle When I wanted to go see Spider
(06:31):
I wanted to go see across Spidervers this weekend, I did it.
I parked in like a paid parkingspot temporarily to go get my ticket because
fun fact, you buy a ticketin person, you're not paying five bucks
of booking fee and online fee andall that. So I did that,
say five bucks, you know,paid paid for it on my soda,
and uh. I was like,I gotta get out of here. And
literally as soon as I was leaving, the parking person entered that like paid
(06:55):
area, Like, ha, nottoday, Yeah, what does that mean?
That would have gotten caught and thatwould have given me a ticket because
I didn't pay for the parking Howdid you pick? How'd you get in?
Then it was like an open line. It's like those like we go
to the little Kiosk thing or whateverthat's in the that's right at the end
of the lot. But anyway,Awesome Con up and down. What was
(07:15):
your highlight of awesome Con was inyour low light? Highlight? In your
light the highlight was watching Max seeeverything that was going on and him going
crazy for all of the cool things. He's going in and out of the
crowd. He was going in andout come back. Um. Highlight was
that. The low light was thatwe didn't get to stay longer with you
and see more of the vendors because, like I said, he did tap
(07:38):
out. Even though my dumbass thoughtthat Awesome Awesome Con Junior was on the
other end of the thing, butwhen it was actually right next to one,
it was it was the same setupas the we went I think in
twenty eighteen, which was nice becauseit was like, all right, we
know where everything Well you didn't,but I remembered where everything was, like,
oh, the artists are over here, this is where the kids stuff
(07:59):
is. Um, what was itin your little lette was just not knowing
the setup. Not knowing the setup. Yeah, and then also to not
getting my press pass because I lovehaving a press pass. What happens Eric
Willie Nilly was like, let mego to will call. I saw a
text. Everyone stuck on was like, I don't think there's a will call.
There's a press because I saw theemails saying go to the press room.
But then I thought it was throughthe main entrance. But it was
(08:20):
through that side door that I shouldhave gone through it to press and been
like, I need to go getmy press pass. Well, the press
room was like some badass room thatwasn't by any entrance good I found and
I was like, all right,how do I get it into this damn
place? Now? That just walkedthrough a convention center. If you know
you used to the car Expo,you're going for a wedding expo. They
kind of having one specifically the carexpo is that whole area that we were
(08:43):
in, and then upstairs is wherethe European cars. Yeah yeah, well
but this is like, oh whereeverything is here? It's there, it's
here, it's you miss things youdon't get you gotta go all three days
to find out what's what's what?We should have gone max some time.
It wasn't fathers there would have gonesomething. It is interesting though, because
like we my highlight was probably hangingout with you guys. We got a
little key chain, so a littlematching key chain, which was fun.
(09:05):
Which that that's that's how you makemoney at those conventions. Serious these key
chains. They were selling Pokemon,Pokemon, Yugio, Magic, the Gathering.
But what Pokemon set was it from? It was the first edition Pokemon
they had. It was like thefirst wave of Pokemon cards. And then
they had um sort of like anewer one that was like the newer Pokemon.
(09:26):
Look at least um. They weren'tcards. They were like stickers or
pictures someone cut put in a keychain thing. It looks dope, I
have the Magian. Why do you? Because I think for me I was
more tuned to Yugio cards than Pokemoncards. Are you talking about You can
name every hundred for the Pokemon,but that's the Pokemon the cards when we're
(09:46):
getting cards. And that's why Iwas kept a bating back and forth.
Was Yugio was my game? Baby? Oh so you played Yugo you didn't
play Pokemon? Yeah, I remember, I want a regional tournament, yes,
in Yugio. And then you playedboth because you're Pokemon is too much,
Hugo is like straight They're both notstraight forward, especially nowadays. But
can you explain to me how doyou play a Pokemon? Not right now,
(10:09):
but how do you play Pokemon thecard game? Yeah? Because because
Max, he's in a club atschool. Well, I wish I could,
Oh, I wish I could Ihave this. We used to have
this. Every child of the ninetieshad this, Like late nineties was they
would release a VHS. Is howbig Pokemon was? That was a guy
teaching you how to play the cardgame and it was a two VHS tape.
(10:31):
One was like beginners and the secondone was like now you know things,
and it's like that. It's onYouTube. Probably it would take looking
up. Yeah, Pokemon, becauseI kind of want to. I want
to help Max. He I lovethat he likes it. We've got a
lot of cards. I don't thinkwe got a couple. I gotta take
his cards to go check to seewhat they're actually legit or not, huh,
(10:52):
because I think he's got some moneyin those cards too, But you
never know what Pokemon this is theone. I don't want to click up,
but I want to help them aguy. No, it's not that
one. Oh somebody instructing you.Yeah, it might have been this one.
Is that guy for air? No? But it's like so nineties of
like this how you do it?If he's interviewing the kids and all that
stuff. There was a cool tablethere actually at Awesome Con that like it
(11:16):
was primarily like Eastern stuff, butit was primarily Pokemon and like all this
stuff that's in this video, likethey had back there, like all the
Pokemon stuff. They had Pokemon yellowand oh and green. They had um
the Japanese versions of them. Itwas like sixty bucks each. I was
(11:37):
very tempted to buy it, butI don't know. Also, I'm like,
this is cool, but does itwork? And then I lost the
table and I couldn't find it,and I was like, where is it?
There also was a Muppet table wepassed by at one point. I
wanted to go back and just justinquire how much a muppet would be,
like if I owned a Muppet.It was an actual mump. It was
like whatever puppet, but like wouldhave been cool. I'm kind of mad
(12:01):
we didn't buy the mystery box youguy. You guys can buy them online
on Amazon. Remember they were promotingthat no where they really yeah where?
I don't remember what the website wasthough you should have took a picture of
it. It is funny the awesomecons like retweeting recap things people in the
comments like what's the name of thefudge place? And awesome cons like oh
is this so? People like findingall the vendors by right because there was
(12:24):
that fudge, a huge table offudge. Good not a fudge man,
but look good. Also another interestingthing is if you go to one of
these conventions is they have obviously there'sthe in convention center like food stops there.
Obviously DC has a couple more inthat weird like Big Food Court too,
um, but they have root beeror soda stands where essentially can you
(12:45):
buy a mug for like fifteen bucksand you can refill it throughout the whole
convention space. That was packed.That was you sure wasn't beer, No,
it was like soda. I thinkthere might have. There might have
been an alcoholic one too, butthat that one we passed by. It
was so I think it was overby Worth as was soda because then they
had the nitro brewtro brew things throughoutthe whole thing as well, right,
(13:07):
which which was self pouring because youjust scanned your credit card. Yeah,
and then they took your money.By the way, you should be impressed.
And I didn't spend that much moneyat all. Buyer at buy,
I really encouraged you. You reallydid too, because there was that game
boy sp that I was like,I almost went back and bought it for
you. I wasn't gonna lie,but then I got chastised again by that
lady who was commenting on my crisisshirt. I was like, I'm not
(13:28):
here for this right now. Whatdid she see? Like? Had an
edge to her right. I waswearing my Crisis Crew shirt, which has
Crisis Crew on the back, andshe's like, what if I'm in a
crisis, will you help me out? I was like, maybe I think
she might have been flirting with me, but I was just scared and I
ran away. So I didn't goback because she was still there. That's
(13:48):
what happens when you're in Geese.Maybe you just run away because you don't
have your ring. I don't havenothing. Don't even engage. You are
engaged to lie. Flee? Ohmy god, you know I can,
but Uh yeah, there was gameBoy, vans, spas, tons of
comics. It was. It wascool to see a lot of kids like
in parents. Like there was standsin that merge that were like completely new
(14:13):
IP comics and stuff that they werebuying their kids. Just see where I
would take off from now, Yeahthere was yeah, and like that the
comic book thing look cool. Acouple of comic book displays look cool.
Max again was like, what's acomic book Daddy? I'm like, oh
God, I almost bought um allthree um God Egyptian God cards for Yugio.
They were like five bucks at onepoint, I was like fifteen bucks.
(14:35):
I'm bad. But wait, didyou get the Ronan uh Ronan thing?
The Runan comic book comic run?Now I didn't. I'm gonna wait.
I realized, I'm like, letme just go to the library bringing
rent it for free instead of payingfor it. You know what I'm saying,
Because you could rent video games andcomic books from your local library in
Virginia. Maybe not man in Marylandwho just gotta go the right one abously
(14:56):
not everyone's gonna have him give youback that one of the Max. He
does not want to give it backto your buddy that Mary's game. He
is like, I'm gonna tell you, Daddy, I want to keep playing.
I'm like, farty, we gottaget back to Hoodie and I played
Fortnite together with Max and his dayand night with that kid at the convention
hand Max hoday, this is Fortnite. Max. Literally, he just loves
(15:18):
screaming your name. It's fine,that's fine. I called I called me
my name. So what happened?So the other night Hoodie was gracious enough
to play with me and Max onFortnite? We did little trios, was
gracious to let me blow. Thankyou very much. But what happened?
Your WiFi went out because your attachmentwent out. None your text made sense.
I said, my power went out. Waitist, I might be back,
hold on, and then I cameback on. You guys were already
(15:39):
like copping off for dinner or something. Well, because I thought you said
you were off, because it didn'tit didn't come in right, hold on,
let me let me grab my where'smy hoodie? And handed dandy hand
and Andrew Hoods also talk about thecelebrities that were at Awesome con After you
find this text message where's it?We just text each other so much you
can't find it. Oh, notyesterday, that's Sunday. That's Saturday.
(16:02):
If I were to convince you todo cosplay next year, was Austin cons
in March? What would you do? Nope? Nope, Mario, Nope,
Luigi? Where did it go?It's not even here? When do
we play Thursday? Right? Weplayed Friday? I guess you guess you
deleted text? No? Oh,Prob's gonna need Okay, that's not what
it came out with. Power wentout. It didn't say that. Right
(16:25):
there there it is. I saidpower went out? YEA said the other
day. It didn't even say that. It said next Yeah, I don't
know that's what I see. Butback to our awesome con celebrities. Uh,
longest line was for Vegeta, thevoice of Vegeta. Was that awesome
con? Obviously Karen Gillen was There'sNebula, a bunch of doctor who's Jody
Winnaker? Uh? Amy, JoeJohnson was there. Oh she's beautiful.
(16:49):
Andy Serkus was there. We weliterally like what we're like three feet from
him, which was great because I'mlike, because he was the very front.
Yeah. Usually in the front celebritylook like the autograph row. It's
usually like a lower celebrity Andy Circus, say what you will, but I
feel like there were lower select Imean he's played some like a lower celebrity,
put like a Phil Lamar, oneof the anime voice actors there,
(17:12):
not Andy Circus. Well, Vegetawas like right right after the Lord of
the Rings Crew and had the longline. I know Elijah would there's nobody
there for him. I think maybeit's just the blind got through or something.
It also is like you have tothink people might have been waiting there.
That person just came to the convention. Apparently some people were waiting five
hours just to get Karen Gillen It'sautograph real, or even just meet her
(17:33):
if they didn't want to pay forit. And then m Ashley Ackstein,
Matt lanter Um and the guy whovoices Obi Wan Roll there too, which
was cool, And I was shockedthey didn't have a long line because I'm
like, these are clone wars.Why didn't you get a picture or autograph
but one of the money and thenthe money slash didn't have didn't want to
wait in the line. There wasa line, but I was like,
I think also there was a personthere that was cutting people off, like
(17:56):
they had to go do something after. Maybe. Interesting thing is I found
out as Ashley x titing voices AskaStar Wars, she got stuck at Dullars
on Sunday night convention because apparently,like the flight got canceled. I'm like,
oh DC, goodbye. Right there, right, that's the worst stuck
at two dollars because you're literally inthe middle of nowhere, Virginia. Like,
(18:19):
where did we go? We gotthe dollarst X Post Center. Let's
get ready for the next convention.Or you go to the NA which is
close by two Yeah, that's rightby my house. Actually, let's go
get our license. I'm good.I don't want to go there. Or
I'll let you get a license.I mean, I'm not gonna have a
gun, so all right, Ihave. I have both marrit badges,
(18:41):
so that's all I need, andrifle shooting and shotgun shooting, so I
think I'm a little more trained.I wish I could find my merit badges.
I don't know where they bomb.Didn't keep your sash of Marrior badges?
No, I kept all that stuff. I feel like and I don't
know if I put it because theydemolished the house that I grew up in
to rebuild a bigger house, soI don't remember where we put all that
stuff. I gotta I gotta takea picture of that next time I go
(19:02):
home. Is what's the weirdest meritbadge I have? I feel like there's
weird ones. There's like golf meritbadge, which is like, go play
golf. You got a golf meritbadge? I think, so, like,
how many do you need to geta hundred? Right? I think
thirty something. I mean that thiswas when I did it, so I
don't know if it's different now,but yeah, but I mean there was
always the days like I worked formine up until likely like the week before
(19:22):
I turned eighteen, which is whenyou're supposed to cut out. And then
there's some where you're like their parentsare the scout master and just signing through
everything, and they're thirteen and healready an eagle scout. I'm like,
what the hell makes no sense?You only find out when you go to
summer camp, like, oh man, I'm in the hard ass troop,
not the easy ass troop. Overyere. They all got their phones and
candy and their camp. We're inthe flood zone. When our tents would
(19:48):
flood down into the ravine, Likewhat the hell you guys can survive?
Your eagles were so because we alwaysstay at the same campground every year,
or same camp area of that campevery year. It was like one year
we now have plumbing. Guess what. Only the older scouts can use the
plumbing. You younger scouts guess what, go use the out house over there.
It's be ridden. My god,um, I do we need to
