Yeah, there it is, we know where your nipples are.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, we do.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
It's a little cold out here in the casino.
There's a really goodsteakhouse in town.
They do the half of a prime ribfor Christmas.
It's for six people, do it'sfor six people?
So it's like a half prime rib,a bunch of mashed potatoes, all
the fixings and stuff like that.
It's 250 bucks.
But I was like there's no wayI'm eating a whole half a prime
rib by myself, or else I totallywould have bought it next year.

(14:37):
I gotta, next year, I gotta getsome people together, a few
people who aren't doing anything, so we can get it and I can
give a, send a report back likewhat's a half a prime rib?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
like?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
right.
Different sizes.
What's the other half?

Speaker 2 (14:50):
of the rib.
I don't.
Well, I think they just cut itin half.
It's like a whole, like it's awhole.
The prime rib is like the wholepiece, and then they cut enough
for like six people and thenyou cut that down from there.
I think again, I don't know,I'll have to buy it.
I just got the email promotionand I was like that sounds
really good.
Then I asked a couple peopleand they're like not this year.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
How much notice did you give them?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Like a week.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yeah, that's not.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I didn't get the email until the week before, so
I didn't know it existed until Igot that email.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
That's bad on them.
Yeah, that's bad on them.
That's bad on them.
They only give you a week,right?
Excuse me, I assume it was alsosides, or the sides separate.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah, it was like mashed potatoes.
Green beans got you a basket ofrolls.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
A basket.
A singular basket, no refills.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
What the fuck do you bring?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
at home.
Yeah, you bring it at home.
Was it a to get new refills?
What the fuck are you bringinghome?

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Hey, you bring it home.
It was a take-home thing.
I thought you showed up at therestaurant.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
You showed up at the restaurant.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Did you try your potatoes all rotten?

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Nope, ended up doing baked potatoes with steak and
veggies instead with crescentrolls Could replace it.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
He didn't expand his culinary plate.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
No, not at all.
I'm not even going to lie, I'mnot going to say I didn't look
for it.
That was the original plan.
Went there to go get it andthen saw these baked potatoes at
Sam's and was like, huh,there's four of these already
put together with all thefixings and everything.
Just throw them in the oven for45 minutes.
I'm like hey, how about this?
She's like ooh, I was thinkingthat too Pivot.

(16:27):
So we went right to the bakedpotato instead.
And then we pivoted the meat tolike chuck roast instead of the
steak.
Yeah, it was chuck roast notsteak, it was the chuck roast
because we both prefer it.
So, yeah, ended up doing that.
And then pumpkin pie fordessert.
That's what it does, doing that, and then pumpkin pie for

(16:47):
dessert.
That's one does.
It was either that 11 meringue,but we're at sam's and and
that's too.
Then they're just too much.
Man, I'd have to like take thatshit to work, like, okay, y'all
scavengers come tear this up.
Those pies are huge.
Man, can I get at least atleast a grocery store?
You can get a half pie.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I was like, oh alright, that's cool, you can
even get the slice if you want,if there's only a couple of you.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
You can just do that.
I'm fine with a half piebecause they're smaller pies.
They're an 8-inch, 9-inch pie,fucking Sam's.
That thing is 12, 13, 14,.
Whatever size that thing is,it's huge.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
You can put that shit on your car and drive it home.
Yeah, you have to strap it tothe roof.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
See, that thing's big enough to be the car Hell.
It's ridiculous Driving my piehome.
So, yeah, nice and simple.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Well, what's New Year's coming up?
Do you guys do New Year'sresolutions at all?

Speaker 3 (17:45):
No, I haven't been doing that in a long time.
After I realized that I don'tfollow any of them.
What's the point as you getolder, if I want to do something
, I'll just do it.
Cold turkey, I'll just like.
I feel like doing this, I'll doit.
Starting now, I'm going to acta until january 1st and all of a

(18:05):
sudden I'm gonna be a good boy.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I can agree with that I mean, I think I I probably
spend more time doing reflectionand thinking about stuff that I
can improve on, like I mean,we've been talking, we've spent
a lot of time on the podcasttalking about being uh, being
grateful and that type of thing.
So those types of things likewhat are things that I can do
next year?
that you know, that maybe Ididn't do enough.

(18:28):
Looking back, you go okay, likewhat could I've done more of?
Not necessarily like holdingmyself to like, oh, I'm gonna do
this 20 more, right, or I'mgonna do this twice a week
instead of once a week, but moreof what am I gonna do to try to
put more?
Where am I I going to put myefforts Right?

Speaker 1 (18:48):
I can agree with that .
So cause I think that callingit, labeling it, a new year's
resolution will kind of stressyou out Right Like, ah, I'm a
fucking failure.
I missed the gym this week.
I was supposed to go every week.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah, I saw that commercial like failure Friday,
the second Friday of January,whatever it is.
I was like okay, and then a lotof people do that shit.
They just give up completely.
Oh, I had a bad day.
Nope, it's over, I'm done.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yep, try again next year.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yep, I've read a couple articles talking about
how much money gyms and shitmake off of the January people
joining in January and then theydon't bother canceling until
July.
Right, like yeah.
Again, I mean it's one of thosethings like when you subscribe
to something and they just neveruse it.
They don't care, they're stillcollecting their money.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, and that's, and that's why you got to get that
experience app or whatever it is, to help cancel all the shit
you're not using.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
I don't know, rocket money.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, that's one of them A lot of them do that.
It's like I don't know.
I guess if you have a lot Idon't know, I keep track of my
shit pretty easily.
I don't know why people arelike oh, I didn't know I had
this, how do you not know able?

Speaker 2 (19:56):
to keep track of it either through a spreadsheet or
mentally in your head, orwhatever.
That's when you've got to startgoing.
Okay, now I need to startlooking at where all my money's
going.
It's you know, yeah, every timeyou go to the bar.

(20:21):
Well, that's free Lou.

Speaker 3 (20:25):

Okay, good to know, good to know.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
I'll give you some pointers, pointers, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
He's going to be very blunt with his pointers.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, exactly, I'm going to lay it on heavy.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, but you can't help that.
That's just genetics.
Lay it on heavy, big is big.
What are you going to do?
I'll have a resolution to liftweights anyway.
There it is my chin.
You going to do I know, hey,I'll have a resolution to lift
weights anyway.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
There it is.
My chin is going to be sostrong by the end of the year.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
My jaw you have such a Henry Cavill jaw all of a
sudden.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, exactly, are you going to be the next?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Wolverine, did you get your cheeks done?
Did you get some plasticsurgery?
Nope, working out Just NewYear's resolution.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Exactly.
I just didn't give up onFailure Friday, that's all.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Start over Saturday is what I call it Now it's.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Fallatio Friday.
Yeah but yeah no but as far asthat goes.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
How about you jack?
Are you a?
Are you a?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
resolution guy.
No, no, I think I agree withlou like, why wait until the
beginning of the year to bebetter?
Just be better, just littlethings here and there?
Is it a good idea to like,maybe make broad goals?
You know, like it'd be cool ifI worked out more, you know, if
I started a new tradition, a newhabit.

(22:04):
That'd be cool.
But to put like a new year's-resolution positive habit.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yes, let's, let's start a new, let's start a new
habit.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yep, cocaine yeah, man plate the cookies during a
podcast.
That's a new habit.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, it is.
Hey, I don't have to startexercising until two days from
now.
Yeah, fuck that.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
He's like I don't know what day it is.
It's two days from now, though,yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Whatever, I want to exercise next year, right, but
no, just like as a person, justmake yourself better all the
time.
You should always try toimprove yourself as a person,
but you know an overall goal,like we were talking about the
Gratitude Project earlier in theshow so many episodes ago.

(22:51):
But just to be better atsomething whether it's losing
weight or being nicer, sayingnicer things to people you can
start that shit anytime and justputting a name on it a New
Year's resolution name on it, Ithink sets you up for failure,
because then you're like well, Isucked at that, I messed it up
once, I guess.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
And there are a lot of people who have that
mentality.
They screwed up once andthey're like, oh, I'm over it.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I done fucked up Instead of you know what Cool
I stumbled.
Let's keep going at it, youknow, but I also understand.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I also understand why people would use that as like a
jumping off point, right, yeah,yeah, no, for sure.
Because new year's, like newyear's after, that kind of the
the time frame before like thenext holiday and that type of
thing.
Like you have a little bit of arunway where, right now,
everybody's kind of gluttonousand you know in their own way

(23:43):
right, whether it's eating a lot, drinking a lot, doing a lot of
traveling, like all of thosetypes of things.
Yeah, well, that's 365, likeit's not, like it's not like
you're jerking off more becauseit's the holidays you know we're
inside more I mean they'redressed up like sexy Santas.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Is this season to be jolly?

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Let it Exactly, let it now what.
But no, I see what your pointtoo, you know.
Hey, now I have a startingpoint.
Yeah, but you also have to takeit as that is a starting point.
It's not a an all or nothingthing.
Yeah, so yeah, but you alsohave to take it as that is a
starting point.
It's not a an all or nothingthing.
Yeah, so yeah.
Yeah, people don't have to workout.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Your goal is to work out more Like.
You need to give yourself thegrace.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Right, I'm working out zero now.
I'm doing it once a week now,so that's more than you did last
year, your so?

Speaker 2 (24:42):
that's more than you did last year.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Your left arm looks like you've been working out a
lot, my friend Exactly.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Ambidextrous up in here.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Never a stranger, just strange.

Speaker 3 (24:50):

my feet to do it.

Wow, wow, dang Wow.

Speaker 1 (25:03):

All right with that, I'm out.
Thanks, guys.
Have a good night.
Enjoy the rest of the podcast.
I did hear that one time Selfout.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
What was that?
What was that one dude, whatwas that baby?
Mama's baby was really intoshortening, really into
shortening, shortening bread,shortening bread, really loved
it.
Some say.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
That's really why you hate milk and stuff, lou,
because your mom used to leaveyou in the Crisco.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Hey, man, we were out of lotion.
That could not be helped.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Anyway, I have an oashi baby up in here.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Right, you're out of a stick of butter, you're out of
Jurgens.
You got no choice, man, youbust out the Crisco Lou's mom
holding him up by one foot withthe basting brush.
Wait, wait To be fair.
To be fair, it was my brotherand he was a teenager.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Now, you just made it awkward.
No, you haven't met Liz Mom.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
That did happen.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
True story.
Okay, so my brother and I werevisiting my dad's side of the
family in California and we weregoing out someplace.
It was probably like seriously,we were probably 13, 14,
something like that and we'revisiting and grandma was out of
lotion and actually got somebutter and put it on my brother

(26:32):
but I was smelling like afreaking loaf of bread.
It was like I was like, wow,that actually happened.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
But yeah, that was a joke Brother out there smelling
like Lando, Out there smellinglike Lando Leakes and shit right
.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Oh man 35 years later and I still remember.
I'm never going to forget thatone.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
You ordered some mashed potatoes at dinner and
you're just like rubbing his arm.
You're like, okay, I need somebutter for my mashed potatoes.
Take a piece of that, takingthe butter knife, and just like.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Man, does this smell like food all day?
It's like what the hell man,Only happened the one day we got
restocked.
By the time we got home we wereout playing at the park,
wherever we were.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
You know how Lou's scared of milk, his brother's
the same way about butter.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
From now on, it's like what did I tell you?
About that.
That'll be margarine.
Good old dairy boys, put thatstick away, get the country crop
.
That shit ain't real man weneed or at least me.
I name drop a lot.
We need to get paid.
What the hell?
Land O'Lakes All in the samefive minutes, what the?

Speaker 2 (27:51):
hell.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Crisco Roosevelt, crisco.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
One time We'll get there someday.
5,000 views, right, isn't it?
5,000 views, something likethat.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Where are you at?
Mama Susan, but I forgot shedied Wow.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Oh my god, alright, boys you guys doing anything for
New Year's?

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Doing anything tomorrow oh yeah, I already said
mine Movie hanging out with myco-workers.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Thankfully I don't have to work late, though
Seniority pays off.
Oh I thought that was requiredfor all y'all no.
No, we have to work Like nobodygets like vacation or anything
but no T, I don't work myregular shit.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
No, that's a good problem, man, until they call
y'all ass back.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
When does it start, like on New Year's Eve?
When do things start gettingbusy as far as, like, the calls?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
and stuff when people start getting off of work.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
You know, like five-ish.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay there we go, and then when the strip starts to
close down, I think they startclosing it down at like.
That's earlier in the day,though right Six or something.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Yeah, I was going to say that's like six when that
happens.
So about the same time manBetween 5 and 6, when people get
off work and they close thestrip Because they close.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
It all right, so you can go walk.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Not all of it.
Sahara to Trop yeah, that'swhat it used to be anyway, it
might be longer now.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
I was going to say it might be.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
I would guess further south now they keep Sahara, but
they'd extend that down toHacienda.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well, they have.
I think they're having issueswith TROP this year because they
imploded the TROP, so I thinkthey're actually moving it.
So it might be like the northside of TROP up to Sahara, or,
yeah, it might go up to Saharastill To the Strat.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Remember the one year I went on the strip?
That's what it was, and itseemed like every year I look
it's the same damn thing, yeahyeah.
It's pretty standard.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Drop to Sahara.
It's crazy that they have 2004,.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
I think is when I did it.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
There's a Golden Knights game tomorrow too.
Ew, gross, but I think it's atnoon or something.
Okay, you have time to get outof there if you want Exactly,
but also if you want to stay.
I mean, at least you're alreadydown there.
Yeah, hopefully you get.
Hopefully you pay for parkingbefore it goes up to like $80.
I think Fashion Joe's charginglike $80 to park there.
Good lord At the mall.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
You can just I'll just parachute in, fuck that.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
And I guess I'll ask both of you, because Jack, you
lived in there and Lou, you livein there before A few of the.
So there are a few touringtouristy Vegas type videos that
filter through my YouTubechannel or my YouTube
recommendations, and there hasbeen, I guess, because of the F1
race stuff.
I guess the conversation aboutclosing basically closing the

(30:39):
strip to all traffic and justmaking it all walking has been a
more and more frequently talkedabout topic, where before,
besides New Year's, that justwas not something that happened.
Is that something that, Jack?
Have you heard anything elseabout that as far?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
as no, I don't think that'd be a good idea.
Turn it into another Fremont?
I don't think so.
I say leave it open Becauseit's fun to drive down the Strat
.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Well, and everything's still so far apart,
anyways.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Like that's the thing that's me.
That's a long walk, it doesn'tlook long.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
but if you're like, yeah, let's walk down to the
Strat from the fricking MGM,yeah, you're going to be hurt.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
You know, the flip side of that is like downtown
Denver, they have a free bus.
It just goes up and down themain 16th Street is what it is.
And if they did something likethat for the strip to help with
that almost like what the SanFrancisco trolleys I know you
pay for that, I believe, butthis make it free where almost
like the tram just goes up anddown the middle, obviously you

(31:40):
have several of them, they justneed to cover the people.
So if you want to move aroundup and down the strip, that
would help with that.
If they wanted to block it off,oh, you could park at an end or
on the sides, whatever.
Let's say you could still parkon the back streets to get to
wherever you want a casino, andthen from there.
I mean that would be okay.
But I'm with Jack, I kind oflike the whole driving up and
down the strip thing.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Not that I do, that's a tourist thing.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Unless somebody's visiting.
You know how it is.
It's like oh, this casino wasbuilt four years ago.
I've never seen it.
Oh, what Somebody's visiting.
Great, let's go check it out.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Pretty much Going to be doing that a lot in the next
couple years.
Baseball stadium.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
That'll probably probably the next thing to go
check out Hard Rock, not untilthey have.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Star Wars or Funko Pop oh, I forgot about that.
Hard Rock, yeah the baseball.
Oh man Going to that stadium inthe middle of frickin' summer,
yeah, that sounds great, right.
Yeah.
How they didn't build a dome.
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
It's like a half a dome-ish.
It is enclosed.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
The sun's going to be here, so let's put the shade
here or just have all damn nightgames.
But even then it's still hot.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah, but having the sun is a lot better.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't imagine too many day
games that are going to behappening in Vegas, no Plus, I
mean, obviously it helps TV aswell because it's West Coast so
you can get a late game stillfor people to watch.
I just like hey, you want tocome to this game?
It's July at two o'clock in theafternoon.
I'm good, thank you.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, yeah, no, I do not.
Can we go to a bar that has airconditioning and watch it there
, right?

Speaker 3 (33:13):
That's like I don't understand.
Like you get some diehardfuckers out, that's true, and
there are some, so more power tothem, man.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Speaking of Star Wars 9, I went to the minor league
hockey game.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Saturday.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
That was fun.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
I think I was confused.
Was that different?
Was there something going onfor the Golden Knights game as
well?
The next day Okay.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Did they have a giveaway or whatever?

Speaker 1 (33:39):
No, they had Star Wars jerseys.
They did give away lightsabers,lightsabers.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Mm-hmm, I called that .

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yeah, light sword, laser swords.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, Light up swords .
But they did a wholeintroduction.
They spoofed Star Wars.
The Silver Knight was locked up.
They had this dude, the TownCrier, who was dressed up as a
stormtrooper and they had lucky.
The mascot horse was Chewbaccaand stuff.
So they recreated the DeathStar, Prison escape and stuff.

(34:10):
It was cool.
And, yes, I bought a jersey.
Yes, it was a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
But it's Star Wars and they probably were.
I'm guessing they were probablyraffling off the players'seys
afterwards for charityauctioning yeah, they auction
them off.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, and I would have got one.
One of them dudes was number 77.
I'm like that'd be a badass oneto get and as a star, you, and
everybody else there.
Right, it was better than lastyear's, though, because last
year's they ran out of food.
They ran out of a lot of stuff.
I don't think they wereexpecting Star Wars people to be
Star Wars people, but it seemsto be a lot smoother run this

(34:46):
time.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
That's a fail, fire somebody, and then we did go to
the Golden Knights last night3-0 victory.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, shut out.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Screw off Calgary.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
So yeah.
That's always a fun time,especially because they're the
ones we beat for the Cup acouple years ago.
So they were a little scrappy.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
They went down in flame.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, they burned out quick Sports, a couple of
fights.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
How's your fantasy football ended up?

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Oh shit, I didn't even check.
I know it said that I was goingto win, so I stopped paying
attention.
After a little bit you werepaying attention.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
I ended up in five semifinals, and of those five I
lost three.
So two finals and threethird-place matches.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Won all three third-place matches.
Holy shit, she kicked your ass,lou Dude.
I lost by like 60.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, you did.
And then I got second in theother two.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
So yeah, you did.
And then I got second in theother team, so I got two seconds
and three thirds this year.
Holy crap.
Like she wasn't even nice toyou 142 to 81.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, that's 60.
That's what I said About 60.
My team did not show up at all,At all.
I think that's the lowest scoreI got all year too.
I think so too, and it happened.
Got all year too.
I think so too, and it happenedin the finals.
Luckily it wasn't for money.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Right, I won 128 to 102.
That's a beatdown too.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Duke lost to a person that wasn't even playing.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
I wasn't even playing either, though, right.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
When you get to this point someone that's on ir and
out dell on houston and edwardson the chargers gus edwards.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
yeah, other ones were crazy like like I lost.
I lost big that finals both myfinals got my ass kicked.
The other one I lost like 185to 250.
Dang Dude had three dudes inthe 40s and like two other dudes
in the 30s it was his team.
He had Joe Burrow and T Higgins, so it was like 40 points

(36:50):
apiece, malik Neighbors 40.
And then he got tonight.
He got like 27 from JameerGibbs from Detroit.
Yeah, it was just like get theF out of it.
I got blown out.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Did Detroit win?

Speaker 3 (37:04):
They were winning last time on championship.
Yeah, they won by a touchdown.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Yeah, they did.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Was it 40 to 35?
34.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
34?

Speaker 3 (37:13):
34?
Okay.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
An exact touchdown.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
He missed the extra point.
That kicker missed an extrapoint in two field goals.
Let's see, that's seven pointsthey lost.
By how much Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Looks like Vikings and Lions is a game to watch
next week, though.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Next Sunday night.
Yeah, that's the one Winnertake all.
It's crazy.
Winner gets the one seed, losergets the five seed.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
It's a hell of a drop off.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
You're going to be 14-3 and the 5 seed.
You've got to play two straightroad games.
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
My friend is a Packers fan.
He came over to watch the gameyesterday and we were just
talking about how wild it is,how You're in the NFC North,
where you could literally be inhalf of the other divisions and
you would have locked up firstplace in the division you would
have like you know, one of thedivision a month ago, yeah,
exactly.
Buffalo did.

(38:09):
Yeah, like it's crazy, like ifwe would have been, if the
Vikings or even the Packerswould have been in the NFC West,
like they would have lockedthings up, you know, playoff
position, contending for havinga bunch of tiebreakers and stuff
like that for winning thedivision and stuff, and instead

(38:30):
it's going to be like you'regoing to be playing a 9-7 team
or whatever.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Yeah, on the road, you're going to be playing at
the Tampa Bay 10-16.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah, or the Rams oh yeah, yeah, rams 10.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
and 16.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
At least on paper.
It gives you an easy game.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
But that's why they play them.
Yeah, but this week's slate ofgames fucking sucked.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
The good ones were all on fucking Christmas break
Saturday and all that.
The good ones were all onfucking Christmas break Saturday
and all that.
The ones that mattered.
Sunday was just like okay, theSunday night game wasn't bad,
though Atlanta-Washington turnedout to be a good game.
I mean mainly because it wasbad football, but it turned out
to be a good game.
I mean two bad teams, two goodteams.
I'm fine with either, justdon't give me a good versus a
bad.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
That's boring.
Two bad teams other than thebad football.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
it's at least close.
It starts off Saturday.
Nfc or AFC North will besettled on Saturday.
What I don't get is why wouldthey play the Ravens game first?
Because once that game's over,pittsburgh knows that they can't
win the division.
I'm assuming the Ravens aregoing to beat the Browns, so
it's like, okay, pittsburgh.
At that point they're fightingfor five and six because they

(39:43):
can't be the seventh seedanymore, so all they can do is
be the five or sixth seeddepends on the Chargers.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Raiders game on Sunday is the 1,000th Raiders
home game ever.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
I assume you guys are going to go to that game, oh
yeah, there's got to be somekind of gift right Something
right Something on them seats,probably some towels or
something.
Who are the Raiders playing on?

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Sunday Chargers.
They're probably not going towin, but I don't know it came
out okay.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
I mean they screwed up their draft position like the
Giants did, but whatever that'sfrustrating.
I mean they screwed up theirdraft position like the Giants
did, but whatever that'sfrustrating, I mean I get it.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Somebody seems fucking over their playoff
position, just to get a winright.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Draft position yeah, yeah, for sure.
It's like man, I'm telling you,if I'm a GM, there is no way.
I'm like you need to start thethird stringers.
I don't even want the firststringers dressed up, just in
case somebody gets hurt.
Put in the second stringers.
You do not go.
I treat it like the preseason.
Let's see who we're keeping fornext year.
That's how I would sell it.

(40:51):
Everybody would know you'd betanking, but that's what I'm
saying.
The Raiders played a decentgame.
Granted, they played a shittyteam.
I mean, they played a shittyteam.
They had no business.
Raiders had no business winningthat game, but they did.
There's still hope that theycan beat the Chargers and help
the Steelers out.
I just don't have theconfidence that the Steelers are
going to beat Cincinnatistraight up.

(41:11):
I know they did a month ago.
They won 44-38.
High scoring.
But Pittsburgh defense hasfallen off.
Russ has fallen off.
It's just whatever.
They're already in the playoffs, great.
Go lose your first game so Ican stop worrying about you.
Don't give me hope they win agame and I'm like, oh, maybe
they have a chance.
Nah, just cut that shit off.

(41:33):
If you're not going to win theSuper Bowl, lose the first round
to have a better draft pick.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Simple as that.
Losing all that, losing all ornothing yeah, honestly, when it
comes to no games that that'show I want you.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
I want you 17 and 0 or 17.
Don't, don't give me that crap.
In between, it's like oh, we'regonna hang around mediocrity
and pick 18th every year likeyou're.
All that means you're gonnakeep getting mediocre players.
Great, they don't have aquarterback worth a damn because
they've been drafting in themiddle the whole time.
It's like like, man, I wouldlove to have Jaden Daniels.
Even Drake Bay is pretty good.

(42:05):
Michael Penix looks like he canplay.
I don't know, man, whateverit's like, what are you supposed
to do?
So it's like all right, live inmediocrity.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yep, at least the.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Giants had a chance to reset, like they did with Eli
Manning in 2004.
Had a chance.
Here we are, 20 years later.
Had a chance and no, they gotto go out and win.
Although kind of blame theColts, how do you lose to the
Giants?
Man You're fighting.
This was a playoff game for you.
You needed to win this game tokeep your playoff chances
aligned and you're going to loseto the three.

(42:33):
Win now, three win.
It's a time to win.
Giants.
Get out of me, damn Giants,players with pride and all that
crap.
Get on my nerves.
You feel that that's pridefucking with you Right, for real
.
How am I supposed to be a fanof you with all that pride?

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Dude can't say nothing.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
He's over there winning finally, I know right,
hey, one game at a time, man Oneor no, that's the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
And he's winning with a backup.
He's winning with the backup.
He's winning with the backupquarterback.
It's not even supposed to behis quarterback yep, that's
crazy time to trade jj mccarthyI don't think they'll trade him.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
I honestly don't think they'll trade him.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
So well, you're gonna get rid of darnold.
Can't pay him, no, no no,they're gonna franchise darnold.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
They're gonna franchise darnold and they'll
keep him unless somebody's 60million I, unless somebody.
I think they said 43 is whatthe quarterback franchise tag is
going to be.
But the things that I've heardare basically they're going to
franchise tag him and if a teampulls up with the fucking draft
pick Brink's truck, then they'llbe willing to tag.

(43:38):
and you know, tag and trade him,but otherwise, especially if
they tag and trade him, yeah,but otherwise, especially if
they I mean if they win, if they, if they even make it to the
super bowl I mean that's a giventhat they're going to give
darnold more money or they'regoing to keep darnold around for
at least one more year, becausenow he's here maybe they have
everybody else, that there'sfour or five guys that they're

(43:59):
going to have to try to figureout as far as financials go.
But all the guys that theysigned in this past offseason
which I mean in my opinion andthe few people that I read and
stuff their opinion like this islike the best free agent class
that the Vikings have had ever,and probably I mean there are
some people saying it's the bestfree agent class that happened

(44:23):
in the past year in the NFLperiod, because again, the
Vikings were supposed to win sixand a half games.
Their over-under for wins wassix and a half games and they
were supposed to be the bottom.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
With McCarthy or with Darnold.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Period With Darnold.
With Darnold, this was likeeverybody's preseason prediction
.
The most optimistic people weresaying six and a half wins was
their over-under.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Yeah, but in preseason it was supposed to be
McCarthy.
It wasn't until the week beforethe season started that they
IR'd him.
Like all right, that's fine,but I am looking forward to next
weekend.
So you know, finish up theselast spots of who's where I'm
sad there's no more fantasyfootball other than DFS.
If I want to do daily, thenokay, great, It'll be fantasy
sports.
For those not knowing what DFSis, so I might jump in some DFS,

(45:10):
because it'll happen throughthe playoffs as well.
It'll be kind of cool.
And then six months of nothing.
I don't give a shit enoughabout basketball Hockey.
I guess I'll pay attention to.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yep Hockey and soccer .

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yep and soccer ends in May.
Well, the soccer I watch,because I watch the Premier
League in England, AlthoughChelsea's falling apart.
They were in second place for awhile.
They've lost points three gamesin a row.
It's like, oh, assholes.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
It's all right.
The Golden Knights are numberone in the league, we one in the
league.
We're doing good there.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Are they really?
I knew they were number one inthe West.
I didn't know they were numberone in the league.
Alright.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Congratulations.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
I guess we'll stick around with that, dave.
But the problem is Coloradokeeps winning.
I'm not a Colorado hater, theAvalanche as much as I am the
other teams, but they're in theWest too, so F them.
So it's like look.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Colorado, you can.
So it's like look, look, look,Colorado, you can do good until
you play Vegas.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
How about?
That let's draw the line there,other than I gotta hear the
radio Talk about him the wholetime.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
These last couple weeks have been great.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
That's what I'm saying.
These last couple weeks havebeen great Two losses.
If I listen to the radio,listen to all the hate, it's so
funny listening to thesejackasses.
It's like, oh, we're 9-5.
We have three games to win one.
It's like, oh no, we lost thisone this week.
We have two games to win one,and then they lost this week.
It's like, okay, now it's downto this final game.

(46:31):
It's like what happened?

Speaker 2 (46:31):
to you.
We have one game to win, one.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Yeah, they're all so positive and all of a sudden
they're like fucking, fucking,just sucking on their fingers,
just nervous as hell.
I'm like man, please collapse.
You had one game to win overthree weeks and y'all fuckers
blew it.
Oh, I would love to just throwthat in.
Or, if they do make it, go gettheir ass handed to them 40 to

(46:54):
nothing to Buffalo, because ifthey make it, that's who they're
playing Buffalo in Orchard.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Park.
That would be fun, though theymake it to the playoffs and lose
first round.
First round exits areembarrassing, more embarrassing
than not making it.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Only if they get blown out, because, to be fair,
they are the seventh seedplaying the two.
They're not supposed to winthat game, but everybody's
supposed to be.
Hey, you're professionals, youmade the playoffs, you should be
close.
And then to get your ass handedto you, like when the Chargers
got their ass beat in the SuperBowl when they beat the
Pittsburgh Steelers in 95.
Oh my God.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Luckily I don't hold a grudge, but Well, and the
other part of that too is,especially if you get housed,
you know in their house andyou're out of playoffs.
That's the last thing thatpeople are going to remember for
the next six months.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
Yeah, and then you as a player, have a long flight
home.
Yeah, even better if they getsnowed in.
It's a crazy game.
They get snowed in, they can'teven leave.
They're stuck there.
Fans just pointing at them andlaughing at their faces.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Fans just pointing at him and laughing at their faces
.
Lou flies into Buffalo just topoint and laugh at him.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
I would too, man, not that I'll count on Southwest to
help me out.
Hey, we're going to make yourflight $500 instead of $700.
Screw y'all.
But yeah, you know, had theBroncos overachieved this year,
absolutely Good job, but they'restill not a good team.
I don't care, they got lucky.
Good job, but they're still nota good team.
I don't care, they got lucky.
They have one win against a teamwith a winning record.

(48:18):
That is the Tampa BayBuccaneers, who got caught in
the trap games.
They just beat Detroit and wasabout to play Buffalo the
following week, or some craplike that, and four of their
starters were out that game.
So that's the one win theBroncos have over a team with a
winning record.
So it's like, oh, the Broncosare great, they're 9-0.
It's like, yeah, they got luckyand got eight wins against some

(48:40):
sorry-ass teams, so don't evengive me that.
But again, that's Bronco fan.
For you, please either make theplayoffs and get destroyed or
just get embarrassed and noteven just choke this final game.
But again, for that to happen,I need Miami or Cincinnati to
win this week also, and if Iwere to put money on it, the

(49:01):
Broncos are a 10-point favoritein this game because the Chiefs
aren't starting anybody.
So I looked it up and it waslike 9.5 points.
I was like man Chiefs, I get it, you earned it, but you're just
going to gift your rival aplayoff spot.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
I am a bigger fan of starting your starters, but then
, once the game's out of hand,then benching them immediately.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Yeah, but what if the game doesn't get out of hand?
What if it's a close game thewhole time?
Then you're risking the Chiefsplayers getting hurt.
Patrick Mahomes is alreadycoming off a bum ankle.
Kelsey's 35 years old HollywoodBrown is the only one who
should play because he's missedthe first 15 games of the year.
So let him play so he can getsome reps.
But everybody else I can't bemad at that.

(49:41):
It's good business, Except for,like I said, now you're two
weeks stagnant.
So are you going to be rustywhen you come back, even though
it's a home game in two weeks?
Are you going to be rusty?

Speaker 1 (49:52):
So that's a gamble.
The refs will work it out forhim.
It's fine.
Yeah, that is true.
Whoa, whoa, you looked in thehomes.
10-yard penalty.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Touching the white girl.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
God she sucks so much man, that's funny.
But yeah, I guess we'll see.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Yeah, it'll be fun.
All right Enough sports ball.
Skeleton crew sucked.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
We're an hour and 10 minutes in and Lou's like I
guess we can stop talking aboutsports now.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
I looked at the clock , that was like a 23-minute
conversation on sports ball.
I was like Jack's got someediting to do, right, okay, so
skeleton crew sucked again.
Why, it was a little bit better.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Is that fanlu?
And?

Speaker 3 (50:38):
no, he's only watched it once.
Nope, only one.
Yeah, I was gonna say only onlywatched it at once.
I think I think fanlu wouldactually like the episode.
Tell you the truth, thinkingagain, having not watched it,
but thinking about it, I'm likeit wasn't horrible.
However, so much dumb shit.
I think this episode's problem,for me anyway, was the

(50:58):
similarity to Obi-Wan episodewhen they snuck out on the
hangar with Leia underneath hiscoat.
It was just some.
That was just some dumb shit.
And Obi-Wan In this one, we'regoing to have these kids pretend
like you can't tell you'regoing to get better prosthetics,
better makeup, better something.
These people are just supposedto believe.
These kids belong, are elders,on this fucking sex planet.

(51:21):
Get out of here with the oh,I'm sorry pleasure planet.
It wasn't necessarily sex, justa pleasure planet.
So you got that.
And then they get to the hotelroom and act a fool.
I mean, they all know what's atrisk.
They all know what's at risk.
They all know what's going on.
This isn't like we're brand newinto this trick.
They know they're at risk andthey act a fool in the hotel
room, making all types of noise,not listening After.

(51:44):
They were just panicky beforethat of what was going on.
It was like what?
Oh, okay, we're just going toplay this out.
And then they skip around.
Okay, how did they get out ofthis scenario?
How did they get out of thisscenario?
They just happened to get outof the scenario and they just
show up.
Oh, next scene, cut, next scene.
Okay, sure, great.
And where did the acid go?
Acid disappeared, it justautomatically came back and

(52:05):
filled in the area.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
It obviously goes to different holding chambers, so
that it can fill in yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
That's how certain that would work.
Is your argument that it wouldfill in instantly, like that?

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (52:20):
It drained instantly.
No, it took a little bit oftime.
It took a bit to drain.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
But it would also fill from the bottom up, and
they were at the bottom, theywere at the bottom of the chair.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
That means as soon as it starts, you climb up.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
So it's easier to get out.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
They're freaking out.
He's sitting at the door going.
Did I do that?

Speaker 3 (52:40):
that would have been hilarious.
That would have won me overthat episode.
It's just one line just give meone line and all of a sudden
it's episode.
Let me go to imdb quick fivestars.
But then they're in the,they're in the chamber, so I
don't touch anything.
Blah, blah, freaking blah.
So what do they do?
Touch everything?
Great, now it might have beenjust because they had quote

(53:00):
unquote turned everything offnot that they say that they did
turn everything off, they couldhave.
And then it's like oh, don'ttouch the seal, no, we're gonna
fall down.
This seat's a trap door.
So what do they do at the end?
Go down it on purpose, yeahthen I'm the evil Jedi dick.
It wasn't a big deal at the end,but it was a big deal five
minutes before that.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Right, because they didn't know where it took them,
but going down there was betterthan dealing with the evil Jedi
guy.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Who now has a lightsaber?

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Yeah, a High Republic lightsaber Right.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Looked like Duke's lightsaber.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
I was like hey, that looks familiar side note, did
you see that uh, disney released, uh, one of the guys from the
high republics lightsaber?
They've done a couple of them.
I saw something on my news feedthose saying they were they're
releasing another one.
It has like a.
It almost has like a sif likethe, the blades like jack.

(53:55):
I think it's similar to the oneyou made at Disney where the
saber comes out the emitter, ithas like fins on it.
So whichever High Republic guythat is, it looks like they're
releasing it.
Or girl or girl, yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
So overall, it was just like okay, kids did stupid
shit.
Again you would think theywould know better.
Or girl that we couldn't see.
Obviously, they didn't show uswho he was for a reason.
So I'm curious how that's goingto play out.

(54:37):
I'm like, alright, that's cool.
I wonder what's going to happenhere.
But overall, again, it was justlike, okay, more dumb shit that
these kids did, and nobodyseems to care that they're doing
dumb shit.
It's like, oh yay, I'm watchingObi-Wan all over again.
More dumb shit.
Although I would argue, obi-wanwas more dumb.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
I think I figured out your problem, mu.
You were judging these childrenas an adult.
When I watch the show, I watchit based on their perspective.
They are children.
I've never been a 10-year-oldthat was kidnapped by a ship and
put into pirate places, so Idon't know how I would act as a
10-year-old that was kidnappedfrom my planet.

(55:16):
As an adult, you are 100%correct.
If these were adults actinglike that, I got you, but
they're kids, so you have tolook at it through their
perspective.
The story's being told fromtheir point of view.
Are they doing dumb shit?
Yeah, but they're also kids.
When you were 10, you weren'tkidnapped from your home planet

(55:38):
by some 100-year-old ship with arobot with a rat fur brain.
So you don't know what youwould do in that situation
because you have not been inthat situation.
But you're a 50-year-old dudejudging these kids for being
kids in a situation you haven'tbeen in.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
Get off my ship.
Yeah, because I know how I waswhen I was a kid and that shit
would have lasted for about oneor two episodes.
And then you grow up real thefuck fast.
And these kids are not maturing.
There's what I'm saying.
They're in this situation thisnight.
Okay, we need to hey, we don'tunder.
They understand the situationthey're in, that.
They almost died.
Yeah, they understood that shitin the last episode when they

(56:18):
were trying to go to battle andall of a sudden they just forgot
that part.
It's like all the shit we justlearned and that we need to
quote unquote grow up fast, likeany other natural kid would do.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
They're not doing it it's like they're going
backwards.
It's Las Vegas hotel room.
Little kids are going to jumpon the bed.
Whether they just almost diedor not, you would jump on that
bed if you're in a big-ass LasVegas hotel room.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
My dad would beat my ass.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Your dad's not there.
We're talking about a big guy,50-year-old Lou.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
John should have beat their ass Instead of just time
out.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
He's the fun uncle.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
If he beats one of their asses, the other three
will straighten up.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
All it takes is one, just knock out one, but he's the
fun uncle that's not going todo it.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
But he's not the fun uncle.
That's not what he's there for.
He's there to use them.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
And that's what he's doing.
Why does he care if they're?

Speaker 3 (57:09):
acting up.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Because he's going to get him caught?

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Yeah, he did.
He was the one telling him tocalm down Eventually, of course.
He cared as soon as he wastelling them the plan.
They were acting a fool, theyweren't listening.
He cared as soon as they.
It's like yo.
I said, shut the fuck up.
And then they kept going Boom,go beat one.
I guarantee, I'm telling you,they would have been shocked as
hell, like, oh, he's serious andthey're not.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
And it's like man, no discipline you're putting your
personal experiences on this.
You need to just watch it inthe context of the story, not
what you would have done, notwhat tell me.
Tell me what scenario.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
What?
What real person would toleratewhat is happening?
That would not happen inanybody's real world.
It would not happen inanybody's real world.
It's like this this right here.
If that wait, is this somewhite people?
Shit.
Is this what white people dowithout discipline?
They don't.
They don't spank their kids andthis is what we get this is
what happens, okay.
This shows for white peopleOkay.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
I can't get 50-year-old Lou hopping out of
bed in Vegas and having his dadshow up to beat his ass and him
going where'd you come from?

Speaker 3 (58:16):
I could totally see that shit happen.
I'm like oh, my bad.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Oh it says, his shoe just flies out of nowhere.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
No, that's mom, that mom showed up.
If that happened, or an ashtray, if an ashtray showed up and
popped me in the head?
Yeah, that totally happenedAgain in the head.
Yeah, that totally happened, butit's just again.
It's just, these kids aren'timproving.
It's like I wanted them to growa little bit and they're not.
What bullshit's going to benext episode?

(58:44):
Like, oh, we're in danger, butwe're not going to act like it,
so who cares, nothing's going tohappen to us.
We're going to go down and hitthis chair and go to this
no-place land that we werehiding, trying to hide from or
try to escape from, not fiveminutes ago.
But hey, let's go down there onpurpose now.
Oh, great.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Yeah, it's a getaway from Jah, who's trying to kill
you.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Jah wasn't trying to kill him.
He was just trying to make themlisten.
They don't know that.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
He's being a big creepy-ass dude, so they ran
away.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
No, no, if he wouldn't have told the little
girl to yield, he would havejust killed her.
That would have made more sense.
I would have been fine withthat.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
No.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
Then the three of the other three.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
He had to get the captainmanship correctly, or
else Smee wouldn't.
He did.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
It was he challenged and he told her he's like look,
I don't want to hurt you, justyield.
And she didn't want to.
Dumbass, dumbass, don't knowhow to use a lightsaber, comes
in and tries to save the day,which would be against code,
because then he's fighting in athree-way fight and that's not
how it works.
It should just be those two,the captain and the person.
So that's a problem in itself.
The robot should have smackedhim for trying to cheat, but he

(59:46):
didn't kill her.
He had every opportunity tolike I challenge you.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
He had a knife to her throat.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
And what'd he say?
He didn't say.
He said yield.
He didn't say let's do thisslice.
That's not what happened.
He's like just yield.
He's trying to give her a breakand they want to be assholes
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
Oh, we have a tree.
I mean, again, it's the same.
It's very similar to theFratellis and Chunk from the
Goonies Like this episode wasdefinitely the most Goonies
influenced episode so far, andso I think I think part of the
problem is, I mean and we'vetalked about this in the chat
before or during the textmessages early is like I think,

(01:00:23):
like when you try to have showslike this that are homages and
fan service I'm saying fanservice, I'm trying, I can't
think of I guess homage would bethe best word Homages to the
movies from the 80s that we grewup on ET, goonies, home Alone,
all of those movies, right manby.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
Me yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Yeah, the young, teen , kid movies, you know this.
I mean that entire episode, theentire last episode of Skeleton
Crew was straight Goonies, youknow them falling, them doing
all the weird stuff, themtouching stuff that they
shouldn't have done.
All that stuff happened in thegoonies, right?
But the problem is that I thinkall of that that whole

(01:01:09):
generation of movies now hasbeen, we're all so jaded and
cynical now that I don't thinkthose movies could come out and
be successful today.
But in the 80s, when they cameout, it was a different time
Again.
We were all a different age, etcetera, et cetera.
I think, as we've gotten older,a lot of us and I'm the same
way Like Lou, I don't disagreewith how you were looking at it,
but I didn't hate the episode,I didn't dislike the episode.

(01:01:34):
I still have problems, like youwere saying, with the character
arcs and that type of thing.
Like I want to see.
I want to see somebody grow andI don't feel like we're seeing,
besides Neil, because he's thebest, none of the rest of them
have Wait, hang on.
None of the rest of them havereally evolved at all, none of
them have.
You know, and again, I'm notexpecting them to have a huge

(01:01:56):
like oh, now I'm a grown-up butyeah, like whim and and fern,
and you know, again kb, I don'teven don't even know what her
character arc is.
She hasn't really given us one.
You know, she's definitely outof the four of them, or the five
of them if you want to countjod, like she is definitely the
one that's just kind of like oh,we need somebody to be

(01:02:17):
technical, get her to do thething, technical thing, and then
she just goes back to being inthe background yeah, she's their
droid of the show.
Just to have somebody do 100like because they didn't want to
have I'm guessing, because theydidn't want anyone to to.
Um, uh, they already had smee,so they don't they didn't need,

(01:02:37):
they need a second one yeah, um,so I kind of feel bad for her
and her character because again,we don't know anything about
her, right, like I kind of feelthat that you know.
But yeah, I, I don't disagreewith you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
The stuff didn't bother me as much because, again
, I was thinking of it in thegoonies way when the the show
started, and so the stuff didn'tbother me near as much as it
bothered critic lou, but yeah,it was just, yeah, it was just
dumb shit when the pirate showedup and the ships got blown out
by the other pirate ship and asthey were coming in to try to

(01:03:11):
try to fight the last 10 minutesof the show, nobody, nobody.
You didn't have a full-on squadof people waiting to blast them
out of the sky themselves assoon as they landed, blast them.
It's like they just blew up twoships while coming in without,
obviously, permission and y'alljust gonna let them just go Like
, oh, we're just gonna ignorethis, it's fine, no big deal.

(01:03:33):
It's like again, no-transcriptgoing to fill in the pieces for

(01:04:02):
them that's.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
That was some scooby-doo shit where they're
just running back and forth inthe hallway, but it was just
like.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
It's like, oh my god, this is so bad.
Um, and it was just again.
It could have been writtenbetter.
It was just dumb shit.
It was the first thing Ithought of was Obi-Wan.
I was like, oh, we're back toObi-Wan writing, where this dumb
shit happened.
Because as soon as the kidscame off the damn ship, it was
like, oh God, leia's going to beunderneath the trench coat

(01:04:30):
again.
Here we go.
And it just played from there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
I need to go get a trench coat, so Leia will be
under my trench coat.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Whoa, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Not that Leia's turn.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
She's nine, buddy, she's nine.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Old Leia Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Say old Leia is dead, you fucking necrophiliac.
What the hell?
I've got a corpse underneath mytrench coat.
It's like.
Alright, to each their own.
Okay, Bernie, Know what you'redoing this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
So what did you think of it, Jack?
I?

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
liked it.
I can watch stuff without beingall critical like that, and
that's what I was saying earlier.
I'm not even going to argue it.
I just watch it.
I enjoy it.
I don't put my own feelings onthat shit.
Sure, the kids could get yelledat.
That's not what Jod's there todo.
He doesn't care.
So I don't care.

(01:05:21):
As long as it's entertaining,I'm fine.
I'm like oh well, if I was inthis situation hypothetically.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
You didn't think that shit was stupid, that happened.
You didn't think any of thatshit was dumb and stuff the ship
take the end, the pirate shipgetting blown up.
They're just like, oh hey, land, it's okay the escort trips you
mean yeah, yeah.
When the escort ships got blewup and they were just like, hey,
no big deal, I honestly was,I'm like.
When I saw that, I was like, ohdamn, they're gonna have a
whole arsenal waiting for themwhen they land.

(01:05:49):
Nope, it was just like oh hey,welcome guys.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Maybe they're just cocky and they're like no,
people don't do that shit hereand they don't have a bigger
security force than those twolittle escort ships.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Then they should have explained that If that was the
case, all it takes.
What one line the lady I thinkit was a lady who was running
the thing all it would havetaken was like, hey, like
something where to just let themdo their thing, we their thing,
we don't have the support, butthey had the support and
security to chase them down.
They had 50 people chasing thekids.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
They got zero people.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
Fine, then the ground crew could have all been
surrounding the ship.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
It could, but see, you're overthinking it.
It's Star Wars.
You're overthinking Star Wars.
How is?

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
that overthinking, that's just common sense?

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
No, it's not.
It had nothing to do with thestory.
They just want to get thepirates down there to chase the
kids.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Then write it better.
That's my point.
That's how bad the writing is.
Oh, we just don't care.
We're just going to put thesepeople here and you're going to
consume.
This doesn't have to make sense, because we think our audience
are idiots and they're justgoing to accept it and that's
all there is to it.
It's a good show because we putthem there.
That's disrespectful to theintelligence of the audience, as

(01:06:58):
long as it's entertaining, Idon't care.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
Fair enough.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
Fair enough.
Fair enough, I can't sit thereand overthink stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Just sit there and watch.
If it is actually horrible, Iwould say so but I don't think
it's actually horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
I think we all agreed that the Acolyte writing was
not great, agreed.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Yes, that's fine.
Acolyte was bad.
It was very poorly written.
This it's a lot better thanAcolyte, just because it's not
trying to be smarter than we are.
The Acolyte came out actinglike they were smarter than the
audience.
You know we got this murdermystery and all this stuff's
going on, and here's a flashback.

(01:07:37):
Oh, this guy's not as bad asyou think he is.
He's not as good as you thinkhe is.
This show is straightforward.
They're not trying to trick us.
They're not trying to besmarter than we are.
It's just.
Hey, here are these kids,they're on an adventure.

Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
Go with it it.
I think that's part of myproblem.
I expect better writing right,and I think I only expect better
writing because previouswriting of the shows acolyte,
obi-wan were horrible.
So I was like, oh, they'll fixit.
They know, with the feedbackthey got, they know it sucked.
They know all this, they'regonna better and it's like.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
But you know, there's only like one well-written Star
Wars movie, two maybe Empireand Rogue.
One.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
I was just going to say don't forget Rogue One.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
Yeah, there are only two well-written Star Wars
movies.
The rest of them have the exactsame problems that you have
with Skeleton Crew.

Speaker 3 (01:08:32):
Yeah, bunch of dumb shit.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Exactly, you guys watch what?

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
episode.
No, I'm waiting for it tofinish.
Is it finished?

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
tomorrow.
It's done.

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
Oh, it's today, it finished this morning, yesterday
, oh, then I'll probably when Iget up tomorrow morning, I'll
probably because, I don't startmy day in for like one, so I
liked it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
I mean, it was kind of cool to see a Moon Knight
mech.
That was kind of cool.
Yeah, they even brought himback, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
Yeah they had a lot of Oscar Isaac's voice.
Yeah, yeah, it was him.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Okay, right on, right on.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Yeah yeah, there's a whole Mecha Avengers thing
fighting some creepy Hulkvariants.
It was pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
Dude, wait, you've only seen one, but Duke have
seen one.
But duke, have you seen it all?
Do they do, without spoiling ittoo much to do?
They at least do, like lasttime, with episodes like one
through seven, culminate ineight, which is all individuals
this time um, there's, there isa through line, but it's not
driving the episodes.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
So the episodes are our stand for the most part are
standalone in this season, which, again, I'm fine with.
I don't need to have thathonestly, I don't, I don't need,
yeah, the last, I think it'sthe last two episodes are
together and that's justwrapping up the what if the
whole saga, the whole, all threeseasons, this is it for what?

(01:09:48):
Yeah, this is it for now.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
Right, at least this, this version of it right right
so we have marvel zombies iscoming out, and then that
spider-man cartoon is just aextended.
What if?

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
yeah, that's not okay , that explains more.
That's butterman cartoontrailer.
Look garbage.
Fucking black harry osborn,black norman osborn and harry is
trans.
Now what it's like.
What the hell man?
That trailer looked garbage.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Yeah, but it's not canon.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
I think I read it it was supposed to be originally,
but then they were like meh,that's what I thought too.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
Yeah, In that case, that's fine.
In that case you can have yourtrans Harry and black Norman.
Okay, fine, Nothing wrong withthat?

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
Did you get mad when they made Nick Fury black?

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
No, because he was in the comics.
No, he wasn't.
Yes, he was.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Not in the.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
Ultimates yeah, one Nick Fury was, but newer ones,
he was a black guy, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
The Ultimates.

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
so no, I'd have been fine either way If they had made
him white or black.
I'd have been like, okay, well,that's in there in the comics.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
But if he was white he had to be David Hasselhoff.
That's the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
I mean yeah, I mean everybody knows that.
Oh man, that would have beencool to see fucking Civil War,
not Civil War, winter Soldier,and he called his jeep kit or
something, hasselhoff.
I mean, legally I'm sure they'dhave to come up with something
or buy the rights, but just forthe end joke would be so much

(01:11:18):
fun.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
I'm sure Disney knows it by now, and to hear David
Hasselhoff when he's clicking onCaptain Marvel's beeper right
before he blips going Motherfu-.

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
David Hasselhoff doing that holy crap Right?
That would be great.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Update on trailers our trailer series.
I did watch Werewolvesyesterday with my friend after
the game.
Wait, that's out, it's, yeah,it's out, and digital.
Don't, don't, no, just don't.
Wow, all right, yep, lou, youwill watch that and then you
will.
You know what, lou?
Go ahead and watch it, becausethen you'll go like that's a day

(01:12:01):
of shame, so like, and again, Ihashtag spoilers.
I'm gonna just I'm doing this towarn you guys like for an
example of like kind of how badthe movie was.
So the whole premise of themovie is that at some point in
the now time, right like thisisn't like something in the
future of the past, like it'skind of it's set modern times

(01:12:25):
there is a supermoon and amillion people or billion people
in the world become werewolves,and then the supermoon passes.
All the people go back to beingnormal.
A year goes by.
The following year there'sanother supermoon coming.
So they've had a year to kindof prepare for the next, the

(01:12:46):
next trailer said okay so theyhave so.
So they have these people incages that are test subjects for
this thing that they're tryingto see if it will help prevent
people from turning intowerewolves and lou diamond
phillips LaBomba's in it.
He's running this governmentagency that is doing this

(01:13:07):
testing and figuring out whatthey're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
He was a wolf in some TV show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
So he's in the show.
He gives one speech.
There's no background Toanybody.
Frank Grillo is Like the personin charge of defense, but then
he's also like a molecularbiologist, and I'm like well,
you know?

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
no, he's not I guess, frank being that, I got I was
like no, he is, no, he is notI'm like, really like that's how
you introduce him, okay, so, so.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
So then of course, the the people are exposed.
The thing that they try doesn'twork.
They end up all becomingwerewolves.
And somebody hits the wrongbutton and it swings the thing
around and blows up the breakerand of course, then all the
doors unlock and the people comeout and are werewolves.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
Now this is before the moon has happened no, the
moon did happen, so the peoplebecame werewolves.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
they're the people, the people in the test subjects
have become werewolves andthey're killing everybody.
Lou Diamond Phillips is in this, like you know, the lab above
the lab, right the observationarea.
He runs down and puts on thisyou know bunny suit that the
rest of the people are wearingand goes into the lab.
The lab which again don'tunderstand when you're like the,

(01:14:26):
the leader of this group getsgets cut and knocked over, faces
the moon.
They don't ever really explainif it's like a walking dead
situation where everybody isinfected.
But you can only become awerewolf if you look up and see
the moon.
As long as I'm looking at youguys, and we could be out in the
moon, we could, could be underthe moonlight and it's fine as

(01:14:48):
long as we're not looking at themoon.
So at some point Lou DiamondPhillips, within the first 20
minutes of the movie, getsknocked down and cut, looks up,
sees the moon, because of coursethe moon's still out and you
know, whatever.
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
And then he becomes a werewolf.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
And then we never hear from him again, like he is
just gone.
He's a werewolf.
None of the werewolves have anydistinctive features, so it's
not like you can say, oh, that'sthe labamba werewolf or
whatever.
He becomes a werewolf and thenthat's it.
He is just out of the movie, heis gone.
And I'm just like wait, fuckinglabamba, what the fuck like?
It's just like so weird and solike frank grillo and this lady

(01:15:30):
scientist who's like the leadscientist for all this stuff are
the only ones to escape the lab.
Right, everybody else dies.
The other part that just wasanother example of just
befuddling things that you'rejust like wait, I don't
understand this.
They're sneaking through townto make it back to his brother's
wife.
You know, his brother died theprevious year because of
Supermoon, blah, blah, blah.

(01:15:51):
So they're trying to make theirway through town.
They get to this point wherethey run into this like military
group who of course getsimmediately slaughtered by
werewolves.
And she does this thing todistract them so they can get in
the, so they can get in a truckand escape.
They do it.
He gets in the truck, she runsup to the truck, opens the door,
smiles and says yeah, likethumbs up.

(01:16:12):
And then all of a sudden yousee this werewolf hand come down
, grab her, pull her up and thenshe's gone.
No blood, no nothing.
She just straight disappearsand he like sits in the truck
for a minute with his head onthe steering wheel and then he
starts, the car, drives away.
She's never mentioned againwhat the fuck?

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
maybe they edited it and cut some shit out that they
need to put.
No, I think it was.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
It was written terribly like I don't think the
edit had anything to do with it,just because, like the way
these characters are, you haveno idea.
Again, none of the werewolveshave any distinctive features
except for the big bad one,right.
And so you make like, okay, wemade Lou Diamond Phillips a
werewolf.
Well, I want that to havesomething.
So then if I see him later inthe movie, I'm like I reckon

(01:16:56):
it's full circle, right.
But instead he just disappears,never heard from again, and
then Well, that'll be part two,yeah, when the moon goes away.
And now he's back to yeah, andand some of the effects were
good, like the werewolf effectswere pretty good the transfer,
the transformation.
You could tell that there was alot of cgi, but I mean it was
fine and there's a couple goodkills.

(01:17:17):
The movie's an r rating but Ididn't really see like I'm
expecting with a where with amovie called werewolves that has
an r rating, I'm expectingentrails, I'm expecting people
getting their heads ripped offlike I I want to see.
Fucking you need to earn that rright, if you're going to call
yourself werewolves, you got tofucking earn that shit.
You can't just be like hard r,yeah, hard r, thank you like,

(01:17:40):
and you can right like you'relike you.
You've given yourself this,like this premise that you're
like oh, werewolves, anybody canbe a werewolf and they will
just fuck you up and like.
That never really happens andI'm like they say fuck a couple
times.
So I'm guessing that's probablywhy it's an R.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
Yeah, we only had one , I think, so you got that
second one in there.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Yeah so but I I was at the end of it, me and me and
my friend just looked at eachother like what the fuck did?
We just watch, like, and it'sbeen a while since I felt that
way about a movie, becauseusually movies I'll give a
little bit of grace to, but andthen the person whoever directed
it or was a cinematographer,like he wanted, like jj abrams,

(01:18:20):
to come skull, fuck him orsomething, because, like every
single light had a lens flareand every like it was, the lens
flare was so awful.
There was actually times whenwhen people would be having
conversations and I distinctlyremember them having one
conversation and every time theycut to one of the people, the
lens flare was like cuttingthrough his eye, to where you

(01:18:43):
couldn't really even see thecharacter when he's having the
conversation.
And I'm like, is this my did?
Is my projector broken?
What the fuck is happeningright now?
And I'm like, no, that's justhow they shot it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Like but like that's a title of one of the reviews on
IMDb that gave it two starslens flare and epilepsy.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Yeah, yeah, and there was so many broken lights that
weren't broken.
They would just like blink,blink, blink, blink, and you're
like no, we don't.
And then smoke.
It would be blinking lightswith smoke.
There's another one.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
Three stars Way too many flashing lights.
Interesting it has a 4.6 out of10 on IMDb.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
This didn't make it for the theater did it.
Yeah, I think it was releasedin the theater, but I think it
was a really small window.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
Oh, I remember making the theater.
Okay, I just looked it up onIMDb and saw that it's on Prime
for $20.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
I would not spend $20 on it.
10 out of 10 for meetingexpectations though 10 out of 10
for meeting expectations.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
That's what this guy says.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
It's the exact kind of dumb movie I needed to see
right now and, going with thoseexpectations, this movie
delivers.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
This is somebody who likes Skeleton Crew Got it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
They gave it a 6 out of 10.
Wait, they liked it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
I like this movie.
It's exactly what I need theygot a 6?
.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Yeah, he gave it a 6 out of 10, but titled his review
10 out of 10 for medianexpectations.
Oh my god, the Purge meets.

Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
Werewolves.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
One of the worst movies I've ever watched the
Purge meets Werewolves.
I kind of like that description.
3 out of 10 for Frank, 2 out of10 for Katrin 1.5 out of 10 for
the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
I don't understand how it has.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
I'm going to watch that shit just for the.
I don't understand how it hasI'm going to watch that shit
just for the.
I don't know.
I want to see the train wrecknow.
I'm not paying for it, notdirectly.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
Too bad, it's him, frank Grillo, and his boring
face.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
Yeah, if you don't like Frank Grillo, you're.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
I like this Groundhog Day movie.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
Which one?

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
We watched a couple movies, I can't remember what
it's called, but he kept dyingand repeating to his wife's
office or something.
What the hell is that movie?
It came out like two years ago,three years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
We watched the shit One Love the Bob Marley movie.
It was okay, it was a PG-13,even though they smoked pot the
whole time.
I was kind of hoping that therewas more drama in his life, but
there really wasn't like forbeing like revolutionary and

(01:21:09):
stuff.
I thought there'd be more drama, but what do I know?
And then, oh, we watched thatmcavoy movie.
Speak no evil, that one waspretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
Yeah, I added that to my list last week that was
pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
It didn't.
It was like a big build up tolike the breaking point where
they're like no, you know what,mcavoy, you guys are fucking
creeps we're out.
And then, like, all the actionstarted.
But it was entertaining enough.
I wouldn't say don't watch it.
It was entertaining andwatching mcavoy be weird and
creepy always a good time that'sfair, he.

Speaker 3 (01:21:42):
The trailers made him look creepy enough that I was
like, man, I want to watch this.
Just from that alone.
Hey, my battery saver is on.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
Well, we're also at an hour 42, so oh yeah, we are
Until editing happens.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
The fake lens flare filter was distracting.
It had the worst regard of ammoamount I have ever seen in a
movie Worst regard of ammo Wow.
That's true.
There was times when they hadlike machine guns and they were
just like and never reloadedonce, and you're just like wait
a second.
Wait a second.

Speaker 3 (01:22:20):
You just didn't see him reload.
It happened off screen.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
There you go when it cut away.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
Yeah, then they reloaded and they grabbed back
to it.
Then they hit a trap door thatthey were trying to avoid and
they went down there on purpose.
But I don't know.
I guess, like I said, I'llprobably watch.
I'll probably watch.
Oh, I'll lose them probably, ordo you want to take it?
So I'm watching Nosferatutomorrow and then I was going to

(01:22:46):
watch Heretic too, but I heardnot so many.
It's like a mixed review.
I had one group say, oh my god,the movie's really good, and
recently another group's like,oh, it's not all right.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
It's on streaming, so whatever Well that's the thing,
right.
It's like well, at this pointYou're not worth the money at
this point Right.

Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
So it's like okay, whatever, give me something to
do.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
Yeah, I'm not going to watch anything until next
calendar starts For themplatinum points.

Speaker 3 (01:23:09):
Oh yeah, at this point, a couple days away,
there's no way for that.
But I have nothing to dotomorrow, so Probably go watch
Mufasa.

Speaker 1 (01:23:17):
I read their review.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
It said it's better than you think it's supposed to
be.
I hope so because I have noexpectations in the positive
side for that movie.

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
It's the number one movie in the world, sir.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
That is true, though, Even though Sonic isn't Sonic
in the United States.
But hey, whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:23:37):
Sonic doesn't even come out worldwide until like
the 15th or something.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
They just wanted to get it in for Oscar
consideration in the US.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
I just thought the movie was okay.
The 15th or something, theyjust wanted to get it in for
Oscar consideration in the USWouldn't be surprised.
I just thought the movie wasokay.
I mean, if you're a Sonic, fan,you'll probably like it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
Yeah, I feel like the last two movies.
I thought it was fine.

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
Well, yeah, I definitely like the last two
movies.
I just mean I can't say standalone, because you need the
other two movies to watch thisone, but it was at least the
last movie and it was just likeall right.

Speaker 1 (01:24:05):
I mean, nothing too crazy happened no, I mean it's
more of the shadow yeah, shadowwas about how shadow is supposed
to be.

Speaker 3 (01:24:12):
The the, the stuff at the end with metallic sonic and
amy, okay, great we'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
Maybe they can make the fourth one without jim
carrey and do something new yeah, that I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
I mean, obviously the fourth one's in the works, but
I don't know.
I mean, how can you do that,though, if you have the Metallic
Sonic?

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
thing we don't know who made them.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
Well, didn't Robotnik make them the first time?

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Maybe, so that's why I was all like well, if Shadow
can survive, so can Robotnik.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
Well, then again, shadow's got so much chaos,
energy and he's going on and hehad the crystal power for a
little bit out of there.
So it's like, eh, whatever.
But again, I didn't mind that.
I'd rather watch that againbefore an episode of Skeleton
Crews.

Speaker 2 (01:24:53):
But we need FanLoo to watch Skeleton Crew.
Damn it, Do what.
We need FanLoo to watchSkeleton Crew.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Yeah, we do.
Like I said, said I think as afan, the last episode wouldn't
have bothered me as much as acritic.
Watching stupid shit, it wasjust like what the fuck?
But just watching it play out,like I said, thinking about it,
alright, I was like thinkingabout it, it's not too terrible,
it's just.
I gotta just not think about it.
Which is sad the fact that toenjoy it you have to not think
about it but it's Star Wars.

Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
You can't think about anything in Star Wars.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:24):
You can't think about anything in Star Wars?

Speaker 1 (01:25:26):
Yeah, unfortunately, that's starting to be the case.
It's how it's always been,always will be.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
I was going to say but it doesn't have to be that
way it doesn't, but that's howGeorge Lucas set it up.
George Lucas don't even own itanymore and he hasn't for a
dozen years.
Get somebody else to do it.
Oh wait, I was like no, we gotsomebody and she's fucked it up
like there's no tomorrow, so wecan't put a chick in it and make
it gay.
Okay, yay, that works.
Yeah, there are the moms.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
Maybe they're not gay , maybe they're like the witches
in Acolyte.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
That's not helpful.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
That's not helpful.
You're not gay, if that's allyou know.

Speaker 3 (01:26:05):
I don't know if that's how the definition works.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Can you be attracted to the opposite sex if?

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
you've never seen the opposite sex.
This is one of these things.
