From Disney Adventures to EDC: Stories from the Road

Send us a text message! Tell us what you think!

Navigating the treacherous waters of homeownership becomes our opening conversation as we collectively agree – it's a struggle that unites us all in mutual frustration. From there, we dive into the unexpected adventures of battling SoCal rush hour traffic on a Monday, a rookie mistake that delayed our recording by a full day.

The conversation shifts to a detailed exploration of Disney experiences, with one host sharing their recent visit to the Hotel Grand Californian's special 70th anniversary buffet. At $62 per adult (less with discounts), the spread featured everything from prime rib and shrimp cocktail to Mickey cake pops that would normally cost $7 each in the park. This insider knowledge provides valuable context for anyone planning their next Disney adventure and wondering if the exclusive dining experiences are worth the splurge.

The heart of our episode centers around a comprehensive breakdown of EDC Vegas, comparing three distinct approaches to experiencing the festival: hotel commuting, Camp EDC, or the official Hotel EDC package at Virgin Hotels (formerly Hard Rock). At approximately $2,000 per person for the Hotel EDC experience, our host walks us through what that investment gets you – exclusive shuttles that bypass regular traffic, pre-venue security screening, pool parties with DJs from 11am-5pm daily, and $30 food credits. The honest assessment of pros and cons, from the owl stage decoration that resembled "a backyard pigeon deterrent" to the magic of Tiesto's sunrise set, offers both entertainment and practical guidance.

We wrap with animated discussions about recent films like Ballerina and Lilo and Stitch, upcoming Comic-Con plans, and the absurdity of an $80 Galactus popcorn bucket that's "30 inches tall." Our authentic friendship permeates every topic, creating an experience that feels less like listening to a podcast and more like joining a conversation with friends who aren't afraid to call each other out or celebrate each other's passions.

Join our conversation and add your voice to the mix – what Disney experience or festival approach would you choose?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
We left.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Friday night, when I got off work Actually on time,
wait, I think you mean you, notwe, because they went a week ago
.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's true you.
Yep, that's true you.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
You got a bachelor weekend.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, you all had been there together in a minute.
It's like, bro, we got backfrom Japan two days at Disney,
you went five days later.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I mean, it was Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
You would have gone to if you had time off.
And lived there.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Last time I checked I didn't argue any of that shit
Straight fact.
I was like, let me have twomore days off, shit right, let
me have planned this properlyand work from home.
And they went the end of thatweek.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
People have be calling you and you're like we
went early-ish, like 10-ish onSaturday.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Saturday.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Just kind of chill.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Everyone went early-ish.
Oh, look at you Gettingeverybody up before fucking noon
10's about right.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's usually when they get there.
When we're there, we're tryingto say go at 8.
And then Jack's like I'm in,the other ones are like I'll
meet you there.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Catch you later, bros .

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Y'all have fun.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
No, it was just chilling, riding rides as they
come across them and eating.
Saturday we did actually goearly enough for Ronto Wraps and
it wasn't even my idea, it wasactually the children's idea
what I was like.
Alright, let's go.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying the teenager even she's
like hey, let's go.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I'm like alright.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Shit watch me eat this Ronto Wrap.
And we did, I could have goneback a second time, dang, and we
did.
I could have gone back a secondtime Dang.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'm like watch me eat the Toronto wrap and save
everything else for the buffetlater, because we went to the
Hotel Grand Californian.
They have a storyteller's cafe,storyteller's something, but
they have a special theme forthe 70th.
It's like Donald's adventuresor something.

(09:07):
So the characters have theirDonald, daisy, pluto, goofy and
Clarabelle.
They'll have special outfits onfor this season, I guess.
So I'm like whatever, and wenever do dinner.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
And there's a reason Cause we said fuck it it we're
going home, there, got you fivechilling.
Pick the fuck out.
I'm like got the itis.
Yeah, I'm like it wouldn't be abad idea to go home like okay
do a little bit more shoppingand go back so I had a.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I had a follow-up that I didn't ask in the text.
That was basically when I askedyou basically access.
You said you could get therethrough DCA or the hotel.
Yeah, does that mean you leaveDCA or is it in DCA and you can
just get there from either one?
Where actually is it?
Is it in the hotel?
Is it in DCA?
Is it somewhere in between?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
It's in the hotel.
We don't go back there a lotwhen you're with us.
Where Little Mermaid is, you gofurther past Little Mermaid.
There's a wilderness trail backthere.
We don't usually go back therebecause I don't want you getting
flashbacks and shit Makes sense.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
That would be the opposite of that goofy ride in
the back corner.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Basically, if I was on the other side, so that would
be the opposite of, was thatthat?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
goofy ride in the back corner.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so basically,if.
I was on the other side, thatwould be over that.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Okay, I got you.
Yeah, there's part of thattrail.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
You can just walk right into Grand Californian.
Oh well, hell.
So if you come back in you haveto go through security over
there or something.
Or you're not allowed to get inthat way.
Yeah, no, they have anothersecurity.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
They have their own security.
Okay, well, that's cool.
Yeah, no, you can get real food.
If you're missing popcornbuckets, everything's sold out.
They're usually hiding some inthere.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Oh, that's not bad, but not like Japan, where you
can just go to the popcornbucket store Exactly.
I don't know how they don'thave that in.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
California.
That just makes sense, becausethey want you to walk around.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
They want your foot traffic?
Well, yeah, but you're going towalk around anyway.
I'm talking about, if youdidn't- get what you wanted.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Not everybody.
There's some people who just goin and go directly to the
popcorn bar and be out.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
We did see that dude with the Tauntauns or Death
Stars, whatever the hell, deathStars, yep.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
And guess what?
20 years ago he had like fiveof those Mickeys too, if 20
years ago 25 years ago, if Jackand I would have had shopping
passes, that's what we'd do Zipright to the fucking popcorn
bucket and be out.
Yep.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Bye, that's crazy.
I still can't believe that wasa thing, right?
So okay, cost-wise comparableto breakfast.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Twice as much as breakfast.
Yeah, it was like 50 a head orsomething like that oh that's it
yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Bro, that's not bad at all.
I think breakfast was more thanthat, when we all I was going
to say breakfast was like 60.
Yeah, breakfast was like 67 orsomething.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
It was, it was $59.99 and then plus tax, minus your
discount, let's see.
Because yeah, I was like damn,I was like that's a good answer,
Because you know I'm Disneyrich.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I don't be looking at that shit, I'm just like
whatever.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
That is very true.
That is very true.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
But you know what?
You ain't AC rich oh got him,got him.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Hey, sorry, $62 per adult, but still you get the
discount.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's not bad at all .
No, no, no, your discount putsit at $50.
So, no, that's actually fordinner.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
But how was the spread?
You only?

Speaker 1 (12:34):

They had like four differentpizzas and they had popcorn,
shrimp, good decent salad, barrolls, fried chicken.
They had ribs brisket.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
I was gonna say it's a fair to biddle in vegas buffet
basically yeah, like, and then,um, they also had cake pops.

Speaker 3 (13:05):

the park.

If that's the case, All right,case Alright.
So I want to hear about EDC.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
It's been like a month and we ain't heard that
story yet.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I don't even remember .

Speaker 3 (17:10):
My therapist and I finally got through Drugs?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
No, why sober rave?
What are you talking about?
Who doesn't?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, who doesn't?

Speaker 3 (17:19):
I heard that when people lie they take subs of
their drinks.
Wait, hang on.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
I heard they blink.
Yeah, I heard they blink.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I heard when you lie, your lips move.
Uh, no, oh uh.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
This was for me, my third edc, yeah yeah, in a row,
yeah or just third total, thirdin a row and you only do the
ones out here, right?
You don't like yep, follow themor anything, okay, no uh, only
done vegas.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
I have never done orlando or any of the other uh
ones that they throw, which areusually much smaller in scope I
just learned that they throwother ones just right now.
Yeah, so they have a pretty bigone in Orlando.
It's at the end of the year, Ithink.
Usually they usually don't havethose.
Those ones are during the day,so they generally don't have

(18:15):
those during the summer, becauseit just yeah you would die,
fucking, murder your soul.
So I'm really, I'm really numberone.
I was real happy because lastyear it was 100 plus for like
two of the days, but the show'sat night, so it's fine, but
still during the day when you'retrying to sleep and it's 100

(18:36):
out like so this they said theymoved it back a year this year,
which was awesome because it waslike the high over that weekend
was like 90, 91.
And then the following weekendit was like 110.
So I was like, yeah, just let's,let's just keep it at this
weekend.
So real quick recap.

(18:58):
The first year I kind of did itwhere we stayed at a hotel and
drove in every day or ubered inevery day, and it just was kind
of a hassle, and whatnot.
Last year we did camp edc,which you're attached to, the
actual uh fairgrounds that'sright.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
You rented the rv, so there was a lot of logistical
things.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
There was a lot of bonuses but also some negatives
to that too.
So this year we did the me andthe two, my two friends that I
went with last year, emily andAri.
We had a long conversation acouple of months before, like
February, and they decided wewere going to do Camp edc, or

(19:39):
sorry, hotel, hotel edc thisyear.
So hotel edc uh, before, inprevious years, they basically
have like got a block of roomsat a resort.
So I think two years ago theywere like a resorts world and
they've been at other hotelslike that where they'll have
like three or four floors of aof a hotel.

(19:59):
This year they actually had allof virgin hotels, or at least
as far as, as far as people whohadn't already booked when they
made the announcement, if thatmakes sense.
So like it was probably, Iwould say like 95% people who
were all EDC related.

(20:20):
Right, they were either goingto the thing or, you know,
they're there for the show.
I did see a few people wanderingaround who obviously were not
there for the event, but it wasa very small number.
They basically took it all over.
Every single bar had themeddrinks.
They had a beauty bar where youcould go and get shit put in

(20:41):
your hair and that type of thing, get your makeup done and
whatnot Did you get your beard?

Speaker 3 (20:45):
did.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Well, we talked about it.
But then, like, the problem isthat they're like, oh, you have
to be in line at like 930 in themorning for the appointments
because they only have a certainnumber of appointments, exactly
.
I'm like, well, that's, I mean,I would be fine.
But also like when we got up onsunday it was like, oh, we
should go do that.
I'm like I'm not going, I'm notgonna fucking do some bullshit
to my hair, my beard, for onenight, like, yeah, especially if

(21:09):
it's like glitter, where ittakes like a week for it to wash
out.
Now, I'm good if it was friday,sure, because I'm already three
days in at that point, you know.
Um, so we wandered around everyday at the pool.
They had, um, they had musicgoing from like 11 am to 5 pm.
Um, the pool is actually thevirgin and the virgin hotels

(21:31):
pretty nice, I mean.
I.
I like I liked it.
The way the layout andeverything was was pretty cool.
We got to stay in one of the,the fancier, was it called the
Virgin Hotel.
Yeah, it's Virgin Hotel.
It used to be the Hard.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Rock.
It used to be the Hard Rock.
Now I got you.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
It was one street off the Strip, it wasn't on the
Strip.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
It was on Paradise, yeah, paradise.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
I think it's one of those hotels where, if you want
to stay or you have a car andyou're going to be doing other
non-strip things, I think itwould be fine.
But if you're a strip person, Idon't know if I would suggest
it because it is a pretty longblock from you know, it's a walk
to get to the strip from Virgin.
So we flew in Friday night, weUbered in, got checked in.

(22:21):
The room was nice Two beds.
It was kind of split up wherethere's like a living room area.
Bathroom was real nice, nicegiant bathroom.
The bathroom was like almost asbig as the bedroom, which was
kind of weird, because usuallythe bathrooms are real small in
Vegas.
Well, most hotels I guess, thebathroom is usually pretty small
, but this one had like an orgyroom like attached to the tub

(22:44):
and the like.
It was kind of weird.
Um, uh, so, uh, the first night, uh, the shuttles were kind of
messed up.
So one of the benefits of beingat the Virgin hotels is that
you get like your own shuttlebecause it's this camp since
this hotel, edc, right, um, andpart of that was that they were
going to go through the airforce base, so instead of going

(23:06):
through, and getting on thefreeway and taking the freeway.
The problem is with that is thatyou're still going through town
so if you hit like a bad run oflights it's not really any
faster.
Like it took us like two hoursto get from the hotel to the the
event, um, but once you got offthe bus it was like a super

(23:28):
short walk because they do allthe security and stuff at the
hotel.
So when you get off the bus youscan your bat, you scan your
wristband and you're in.
There's no half mile walk up idall that like they take care of
all that stuff at the hotel.
So in that regard it's realnice because, yeah, you could
kind of get psyched up and getand just hit the ground right
yeah yeah, um, uh, the firstnight.

(23:50):
Uh, the first night was cool.
We, we went and we saw a fewacts that we hadn't seen before.
Um, I should get my.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
You guys wait wait Few acts you hadn't seen before.
So the same acts show up allthe time.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
There's usually like a group of DJs who so there's
two big companies that doelectronic music One's called
Insomniac and the other one'sTomorrowland and there's some
DJs who really only do Insomniacevents and there's some DJs who
only do Tomorrowland events.

(24:23):
So every single year if you'regoing to one of the larger
events, you're going togenerally see these.
I'm going to say like 20 DJs,but if you go to Tomorrowland,
these 20 DJs are generally goingto perform.
So it was people.
We tried to see people that wehadn't seen before, just because
we'd already seen them before,if that makes sense.

(24:43):
Like we wanted to kind of seeother um, and so we saw a few
people that we hadn't seenbefore and a couple that we did
um the stage, the the main.
So their big stage is calledkinetic field and that's the one
where all the big acts show upor play generally.
Um, the stage was a lot smaller,which was okay, but um, it

(25:05):
wasn't, as the first year I wentit was huge, like in the thing
they, they usually have a big uhprop in the middle of the, the
middle of the stage, behind thedj booth, and the first year we
went it was a.
It was a um, uh, like a hindugoddess type of character where

(25:25):
she had her hands like foldedand she had her head down like
this.
And then at midnight on fridaynight, when one of the big djs
came out, she all of a suddenlifted her head and started
opening her eyes and moving herarms and there was all this like
it was like super cool becauselike you weren't expecting it.
And then all of a sudden shelike wakes up and is moving
through the rest of the thingand she had like full neck

(25:46):
articulation Her eyes would openand close and her hands would
move, which to me I was likethat's fucking dope.
This year they had an owl who,like just turned his head and
you're just like.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
I'm like I want some fucking backyard for keep.
Right, exactly Like I have oneof those in my backyard to keep
pigeons away Right exactly.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I use that to keep away the crows.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
In that regard.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
It was kind of disappointing because I think
because the first year I went,the bar was set so high.
So the first night was fine.
We were there until sunrise,went back to the room, went to
bed, got up.
Was it two hours to go back?
No, it was only an hour, backHour and 15, I think it was so

(26:27):
the first.
My understanding from the stuffthat I read on Reddit afterwards
is that every single year theshuttles are fucked up on Friday
night for everybody.
There were people who weretaking the standard shuttle who
waited like three and a halfhours for the shuttles to show
up.
So like these people like linedup at like six o'clock to like
get there to do openingceremonies and stuff, and the

(26:50):
first shuttle rolls in at likenine thirty.
The opening ceremony was atseven, like you know.
So.
So then my friend my friendmade the reservation.
She gets a thing from Virginsaying you guys were smoking in
the room.
We're like, motherfucker, weweren't even in the room, like
we had literally walked in thedoor at 9 o'clock.
Like they're like you weresmoking at 9 o'clock and we're
like no, like we walked in theroom and went to bed.

(27:13):
Like we passed the fuck out.
So wait did that get handled.
I did so they tried to pull iton twice and we're like, okay,
the third time you fucking whenyou you come to the room, like
don't, like that happened oneother time where they like
messaged her and said, hey,there's smoke in your room again
and we're like, motherfucker,we're not smoking, like there's

(27:34):
no smoke.
Come to the room and smell myass but yeah, exactly.
So, uh, they after, after shewent round around with them a
little bit, she talked to liketwo people and the second person
was like okay, like if, if weget another report, we'll come
up there, and then we didn'thear from them again.
So I don't know what they weretrying to pull, but I don't know
, the first day we were thefirst day we were there when we

(28:03):
were loading in all of our stuff, like people walked by in our
room, like walked by our roomwho were smoking and they it was
like there was a giant cloudaround them.
So it's, I mean, but who thefuck knows, whatever, not.
But so then um saturday, weended up sleeping all day.
They made reservations for usto eat at the steakhouse.
So the steakhouse at Virgin wasactually really good.
It was an expensive fuckingmeal, but I mean, that's the

(28:25):
steak.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
You should have gone across the street to Hofbrauhaus
.
What is that?
You should have gone across thestreet to Hofbrauhaus.
You could have these cuteGerman chicks paddle your ass.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Paddle your ass.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Hofbrau would have been the place to go.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
There was a lot of decisions that were made that I
was, uh, just along for the rideI like I woke up and they're
like we have a reservation atsix at the steakhouse.
I'm like, uh, was I just 50?
Did I, did I miss the?
Did I miss the conversationabout this?
Like, was I high?
What's going on?
Like, okay, um, discord, it'sin there, shit, huh.

(29:00):
So, uh, steakhouse was good.
Uh, the problem is that theygave us so part one of the perks
of being at hotel edc is we gota 30 food credit every day.
So they just gave us like astack of like 10 coupons and
like, of course, the steakhousedoesn't take those.
It's like the regularrestaurant, the coffee place, a

(29:20):
couple other places.
The nice thing is that theyworked for alcohol, so you could
buy booze and still use yourcubans, which was, which usually
isn't the case.
Usually it's food ornon-alcoholic drinks, but but
they took them.
So we're like, all right, right, cool.
Uh, after we got done withsteakhouse, we went cleaned up
way back.
Um, it was windy as fuck.
They actually closed two of thestages for part of the night

(29:42):
because it was so windy.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
You motherfuckers were blowing away.
Dude, I seen it.
The tents were going, the fakegrass was going.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
The fake grass.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
And then one of the guys that I was excited to see
was Afrojack.
He's one of the bigger DJs andhe's been doing it for 20 years.
I know of him.
He was performing, he did likethe midnight set and it starts
raining and we're like fuckingawesome, right like I'm I'm kind
of jazzed a little bit becauseI'm just like I'm oregonian, I

(30:10):
don't fucking care.
You see people like oh no, likewhere are we gonna go?

Speaker 3 (30:15):
it's like all the people from socal.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
yeah, it's just fucking rain, just chill out,
right.
But it only sprinkled a littlebit and then it stopped, so it
was fine.
And then he was like, yeah, youguys, he's like thanks for
coming out tonight and fuck therain.
We're like, yeah, fuck the rain, woo, afrojack.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
But he put on a really good show.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
It was like he did a bunch of like his kind of what
the music he's known for andthen with about 15 minutes left,
he fucking like hit, flipped aswitch and it was just like the
base that just like moves yourinsides and I fucking love that
shit.
Like, if you're going to hit mewith some base, like hit me
where I'm like, oh okay, like myinsides are getting turned

(30:52):
around right now, like I do thatwithout the base for real, I
got dashed right now, oh shit.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
I feel the base from here.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
And then they were like oh, we want to, and the
problem is that you're standinga lot.
I'm too fucking old to bestanding for like 12 to 16 hours
a night, like it's just.
And so like two o'clock comesup and they're like okay, well,
we want to go see this personand this person, this person.
And I was like you know what?
I'm going to go to the shuttlebecause I have no interest in

(31:25):
seeing any of those people.
So I went back to the hotel Istill had my coupons I went and
fucking got myself somemotherfucking chicken strips,
went back to the room, ate andwent to bed at like four in the
morning.
It was awesome.
I'm really glad I did it,because we woke up at like one
and went to the pool becausewe're like well, we want to go
to the pool at least once to gosee what it's about the pool

(31:49):
there is really nice.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
It actually.
They have a sand.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Lou would hate it, but you could get on the other
side.
The other side didn't have sandbut they had the option, right,
you could go in and it was abeach type thing.
And then the other side was amore traditional pool, but heard
a couple acts that I hadn'theard before but I knew it was
aware of their music.
It was really cool.
They were handing out Poweradeand water, which was awesome Any

(32:11):
time, yeah.
So they had a mini stage set upat one end and we're playing
music the whole day.
We bought two slushy drinks anda and a high noon hundred
dollars.
It was like okay, well, I mean,we're here.
That doesn't surprise me.
Like that's vegas bracescoupons.
Was that coupons?

(32:32):
Yeah, no shit, hey, I have acoupon.
Nope, sorry, okay, fine, here'sa hundred dollars.
Uh, by the steakhouse, no shitum and then, uh, we went back to
the on sunday and uh andfinished it out and uh, they do,
uh, on the last morning theyalways do what they call the
sunrise set.

(32:52):
So it's like, even if the it'sgenerally like a bigger dj who's
maybe already performed thatweekend, but he'll come back and
do like the closing set of theof the weekend and it'll be a
different set of music.
It's not like he is.
If he played, like, midnight onFriday and he comes back and
plays it four 30 on Sunday, he'snot playing the same set, it's

(33:13):
a different.
So we got to see Tiesto, who'sone of the biggest DJs in the
world, and he did his sunray set, which was super cool, yeah.
And then we, we headed back, weour flight, our flight left at
three, so we went back and sleptfor a couple hours, got up,
cleaned up, packed everything up, got back on the plane and was
home by eight o'clock on monday.

(33:34):
So I mean, it was a, it was aturnaround, like it was um.
So what I would do different ifI was to do a hotel EDC again
would be I would go on Thursdayso I could actually go and enjoy
the time at the pool on Fridaytype of thing.
Like I cause by the time we gotin on Friday, like it was,

(33:55):
everything was already done.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Like we were like.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Oh, okay, by the time we got settled in it was like,
oh, done, like we were like, oh,okay, by the time we got
settled in it was like oh, it'ssix o'clock.
Well, they finished playing atfive, so you know.
So that would be.
The only thing is I probablywould go another day just to
take advantage of all the thestuff that was there, right, if
we would have went on thursday,we might have gotten to do the
beauty bar stuff, type of thing,you know so was that the

(34:18):
preferred choice going forward?

Speaker 1 (34:20):
the, the hotel EDC.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
You've done all three options, so they all have
pluses and minuses.
I think it depends on thenumber of people that you're
going with and what everybody'sbudget is, because hotel EDC was
not cheap.
It was probably two grand notcounting flights or anything
else.
Per.
I think it was eight, yeah,total or per person per person
so two thousand per personactually two thousand would

(34:47):
include the flight, because Igot we got a really good deal on
the flight.
It was only 200 bucks orsomething, and the less, the
least, the less number of peoplethat you have a room share a
room with, the more expensive itis.
So if I, like, went by myself,it would have been like 2400
bucks for me, the three of us.
We were able to split the moneyout a little bit more.

(35:08):
The nice thing is you, theygave us like a really nice gift
bag that had a robe and a hatand a whole bunch of bullshit in
it that you know.
Again, probably worth 100 bucks,150 bucks total, but it was
cool to get something that thatnobody else is going to get.
Right, like that bag was forpeople who were staying there.
You couldn't buy the stuff itwas, and the 30 a day was kind

(35:29):
of a nice thing that you knowthat was.
Uh, you know we would havestill eaten there, but it was
nice that they that that wasrolled into the price of the,
the event, the music at the, themusic at the pool I don't know
what normally a Virgin Hotelnormally does on a weekend.
If they have music like that,I'm guessing they probably do.

(35:51):
Most of them at this pointprobably have some form of day
club, but again, it wouldprobably have been $30 or $35 to
get into.
So getting into it for free wascool.
But yeah, I mean, if you couldput five people in a room
because they had a pull-outcouch as well, so they had the
two beds and a pull-out couchLike you could probably do it

(36:14):
for $1,400, $1,500 a person,which, again, for three nights
isn't fantastic.
But you're going for thatexperience, right, like you're
not going to like you're, you'renot just going to vegas to go
to vegas like there's a, there'sa whole thing wrapped around it
, right, right, so, uh, so Iwould say like if I was to do it

(36:36):
, I really liked being rightnext to the event.
I would say I would probablysay camp EDC first, knowing that
there's more logistical stuffthat needs to happen, right, I
think doing doing it by yourselfin any way, shape or form is
going to be very expensive and,um, logistically challenging,

(36:57):
right, like sharing, sharing themoney amongst a group of people
or sharing the cost with agroup of people is always going
to be a better way to do it.
I would say my least favoriteway would would have been the
staying in a different hotel andtrying to figure out my way in
every day yeah, um, just becausethere's only really the one way
to get there from the on thefreeway, and unless you plan on

(37:20):
going in at like 2 pm every dayand beating the traffic or
waiting until midnight, right,like if you wanted to go in when
it started at seven and youleft at five, you're not getting
there at seven, right?
Uh?
so that would be my kind of mytwo cents on that, like I think
I preferred the camping I liked,I liked the, the proximity to

(37:42):
it, um, you know, uh, there.
But again, there's also plusesand minuses to to that as well,
um, since you got to bring inyour own food or else you're
spending fucking 25 on a, on a,on a corn dog yeah, I mean, I
think the year that we did thecamp edc they were talking about
$150 plates of sushi and $90pizzas.

(38:03):
Some of the prices of some ofthe stuff there is just so
fucking ridiculous Over thebarrel.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
You order Domino's, it'll take more than 30 minutes
to get free pizzas.
It's cold.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
I guess there's one hotel by the racetrack, but that
usually it's a motel six andit's kind of the same thing.
That happened to us, it at uh,when we were going to san diego.
Like the first year we found itand it was like 78 a night.
We're like, yeah, and then thenext year, oh, it's 178, wait
what?
And I think that's what it isthat that hotel now realizes

(38:43):
that is so true.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
We got away with with motel six for, I think, six
years and then all of a suddenone day it was like, oh dude, we
stayed there for three third330 for three 35 nights, and
then it was 1300 wait what?

Speaker 2 (39:01):
so, yeah, I mean, would I do it again?
Sure, I think I already.
I mean I don't think.
I mean I already bought myticket for next year, but you
know, we'll have to figure outhow, uh, the, the girls that I
went with want to invite acouple other people, and so I
mean, we'll see how it all worksout.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I was just good, then I'll be.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
You would think, except for none of them want to
share a room with anybody else.
So I'm just like okay, bougie,ass bitches, I know, you know,
so we'll see.
I don't know.
Maybe I'll just come and stayat the Casita and drive in from
the opposite direction every dayRight.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
They must have had um shuttles elsewhere, because
that was the night we went to gosee the empire strips.
Back at the rio there were abunch of chicks dressed up for
it.
So yeah, they must have.
I think the rio was one of thestops sorry, didn't mean to cut
you off there jack.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, no, no, yeah, no, I was in.
So, yeah, the rio was one ofthe big stops.
So there was like it was therio, it was the virgin, and then
there was like a mid-strip stopat some somewhere, um, and then
there was one at the world um,was it the fashion center?

Speaker 1 (40:11):
yeah, the trade center, that's right there where
that outdoor mall is, area likedown the street that outdoor
mall charleston or whatever.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yeah, yeah, not a great walk from what I read
online I like that mall.
I had a to die the freakingseafood buffet there, sushi and
all that yeah, people were like,oh, I'm staying at the d or I'm
staying at fremont, and they'relike the first walk over the
first day.
We walked over there we werelike, oh, maybe this isn't it

(40:41):
looks so much closer themotherfucker who gets phone
calls from that area constantlystarts cackling Right.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
I'd rather be on Fremont than the Strip yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yep, 100%.
So, yeah, that was my EDCexperience.
The flights were fine.
So, yeah, that's my adcexperience.
Uh, the flights were fine.
Um, like I said originally,when we bought them four months,
four or five months before weuh we went, they were like 550
bucks and I saw on reddit like amonth before they were like oh,

(41:14):
if you're flying southwest, gocheck your flights.
And I went and checked and Isaved I have250 in uh in credits
on Southwest now because, likethe flight, my flight, the
flights we took were like ahundred dollars less and then we
were actually able to get anearlier flight that wasn't even
available, uh, when we uhinitially made the the, the

(41:35):
arrangements.
So that part worked out realgood.
The Virgin Hotel the bed wasfine, everything else was fine,
the people there were friendlyenough and nice enough.
You're paying Vegas.
I think my biggest knockagainst Virgin is that you're
paying strip prices for drinksand food and stuff without

(41:57):
actually being on the strip.
So that's the thing I thinkthey publicize themselves as
being like a strip Hotel.
So when you walk in and youorder A fucking seltzer and it's
$16 and you're like.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
That's because they motel sexed it.
People used to be like yeah, no, let's go stay at the Hard Rock
Off the strip.
It's cheaper and then it's thefridge and the Hard.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Rock Off the Strip is cheaper, yeah, and then Fridge
and the hotel, I'll buy my ownshit.
Yep, I'll bring a cooler.
Fuck that.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Ice is free.
The problem is now with so many, especially on the Strip of
these places, you'll open up thefridge and it'll just have all
their bullshit on it and it'sall censored and if many of it
moves they're like ding charge$30, ding $35.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
They don't have an empty fridge for you.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
You know what they'll do.
Some of them, and I thinkactually I only looked at the
fridge once but some of themwhat they'll do is they'll have
their half.
So half of it will be like amini bar, but all of it will be
censored and then the other halfwill be empty.
So what'll end up happening isyou'll be putting your shit in
there and if it bumps any of it,then you got to call, get it
reversed, all of that kind ofstuff, or do it when you're

(43:14):
checking out.
But I think they make a ton ofmoney off that, because I don't
think a lot, I don't think a lotof people realize that, and
they just pay whatever and yeah,but you can request to have
that removed from from thefridge you can't, but you have
but, but you have to put thenumber one.
You have to notice that it'sthere, and I think a lot of
people, since they make it soeasy to check out now,
especially because you can justdo it through the tv.
You're just like check out,bing, bing, you're done.

(43:36):
I don't.
I think they make a lot ofmoney off of the off of those
centuries but but yeah, but yeah, you've traveled enough, you
know that.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
And if you didn't know it, you know it now.
So, going forward, every timeyou make that reservation,
you're like, hey, if you gotthat censor shit or whatever in
the room, I need you to take itout.
Or if they're like, well, wecan't do that, I'm like, look,
I'm a recovering alcoholic, Ineed you to remove that, then
they will.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Right, but again, we know that I'm going to leave a
bunch of empty bottles in theroom afterwards, but again it's
the spam emails, right, I'llsend out 1,000 of them.
If I get 50 responses, then I'mahead of the game, and I think

(44:21):
that's what they're betting on.
Is that for all of us who werelike, yeah, we would fucking
call and get that shit reversed?
There's just as many people whodon't acknowledge it and don't
realize it and pay it.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Or foreigners who don't even look at their bill.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Right, or not.
Even foreigners, just idiots.
Yeah, guys who are Disney rich.
I'm only rich at Disney, thoughOnly when you go through the
gate.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Then you're like, it's like as soon as you go, as
soon as you go through the gate.
I don't look at price tags.
Nope, I see what I want and Iget it you.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
You go through the gate and they give you a top hat
and a cane and you're like ohshit, I'm the motherfucking
monopoly guy.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Yep I will say the uh , the balan skull and the shin
lightsaber set looks really goodin person, though, and it came
as a set.
Yeah, yeah, you get one superlong box, like our darth maul
box was, and you get both ofthem in there.
It looks nice, but shit'sexpensive.
That's why I bought the hundreddollar lightsaber exactly.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Love you, ezra so all right that was my edc
experience boy, get out.
I'm passing out.
Anybody get anything else.
Y'all can keep going if youwant, but I'm freaking done.
I'm over here just like.
Let's keep my eyes awake.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Tomorrow's ballerina for me.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
So we can report in on that.
Pretty sure my meeting is goingto be cancelled Tomorrow, so
same with me.
It'll be ballerina as well.
I heard it was just okay.
That's what Duke was sayingearlier.
People saying it was just okay,that's what duke was saying
earlier.
People saying it's just okay.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Just okay, I mean I just I, when I was talking to
lou before the podcast started,I told him I go, I think the
john wick thing is gonna isgonna put it's gonna ruin the
shadow over it, right likeyou're gonna make it in the
world.
Make it in the world.
Don't fucking put john wick init, because then people just
want a John Wick movie, right.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
I just want a fucking John.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Wick movie John Wick 3.5.
The directors of John Wick arelike nah, we probably shouldn't,
but it's the only thing that'sgoing to give this movie a
fighting chance is if he's in it, like if he wasn't in it, it
probably wouldn't have even madethe $50 million it made this
weekend.
That's probably true.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
And that's why they had to ruin it and put it in the
trailer.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
It still got spanked by Lilo and Stitch, though that
shit was entertaining.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Until the last third of it.
That final act sucked.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Are you one of those people that are mad that she
gave up the child?

Speaker 1 (46:38):
No, nothing wrong with that.
That was probably the rightthing to do.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Lou was like why didn't she give her up earlier?

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Also true.
Also true.
It's like man and again dealingwith that skinny ass, lilo.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Lilo's not positive.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Yeah, I need, I need.
What the hell is that girl?
Liza or Ziza, whatever thatblack girl is that was in.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
That was in mandalorian lizo lizo yeah jack
black is that who you're talking?
Jack black is that same thing.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
Jack black was the right size for lilo shit this
little girl?

Speaker 3 (47:19):
was he doing minecraft?

Speaker 2 (47:21):
yeah, no shit he got confused about which side he was
on man.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
But no, the first, the first, honestly the first
part of that movie middle partit was actually pretty good.
Then you get to the last act.
It's like all right, this iskind of garbage, but whatever,
I'm not saying, I didn't tear upstill, but this was bullshit.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Give me the feels, all right, but it was like I saw
it don't need to see it again.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
I'm good like I'll go watch Sinners again, no problem
that was some good shit.
I'd watch Karate Kid Legendsbefore I go watch Stitch again.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Honestly but see what that movie got right was Stitch
.
You had to get Stitch right andthen everything else was no
argument there.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
They got Stitch right .
They got Stitch right for sure.
He was just as annoying andpissed me off, just like he did
in the cartoon.
It was great.
He did his job Right.
I guess I wanted more of thecartoon ending than the way it
ended, and again, I don't meanthe whole get rid of the child
thing, sister, because that'snot even what happened, honestly
.
So the people were like oh myGod.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
He was like that's not even what happened, so that
we'd be like, oh my god, that'snot even what happened.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
But, like you know the way they made the bad guy,
it was like, wait a minute,wasn't he more like this and the
car?
It was just little things hereand there, but again I enjoyed
it.
But, like, even when it comesout on streaming, I probably
won't watch it again.
I didn't like Moana 2 that muchand I'd watch that over Lilo
and Stitch Live action.

(48:45):
I still haven't seen the LionKing live action with Mufasa.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
We're less than a month away from Superman,
followed two weeks later byFantastic Four, july's been a

Speaker 3 (49:19):

even sweating it.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
So yeah, july looking real good Shaping up to be real
fancy which day to get them?

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Comic-Con night FF tickets.
Yep, is it Thursday?

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Did you guys see I posted a few things, oh yeah, in
the Discord.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
That was a couple nights ago, right On Friday.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah, I just went through the blog, made notes for
the stuff that I thought Ineeded to Some of those posters
are just like the posters youget at Walmart, though right the
Trends International stuff,they're the Walmart poster
company.
Well, there was one that Ithought was, there was the, the
four, the Russell Hawks one.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Yeah, the new Hawks one.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
I think that one's limited to.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
They're all limited to like 100, I think A couple of
them were at least, Becausethat one, the one above it, the
Rebel Scum one, where they don'thave any faces yeah, the Rebel
Scum one where they don't haveany faces yeah, the Rebel Scum
one was the one that I wanted.
Oh, I thought you said youwanted the New Hope one.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
You're right.
Sorry, I was looking at thewrong one, my bad, yes.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Yeah, the way it lines up is weird when you look
at the site.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
They didn't do a good job.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Yeah, they did not line that up well.
It's like oh, here's the nameof it and it's like there's a
picture right above it.
It's like, no, it's the picturebelow it, after the paragraph
worth of shit.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yeah, but I think that's a real thing.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
You know what?
I'll probably be over thereanyway, because O'Girl wants
that K2SO1.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Ah, yeah yeah.
And then I figured Jack wouldbe at the Val Hockenberg because
they have the Harley sticker.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Ours too.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
I think she had blue stickers.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
She had the Harley stickers, the Han and Chewie
sticker.
There was something else Ican't remember what it was, but
it was like Jesus, the poster,the print that they had.
She wanted that.
So, yeah, that booth wasalready happening and then the
same thing with the glass, thetiki glasses.
She wants that one.
I think my niece does too, yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Again like.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Disneyland.

rich.

You spend more in four days atComic-Con than you do a year at
Disneyland, Probably.

though.
