I don't know what it does, what's it do?
So you can program the buttonsto do whatever you want.
So instead of you having to gowait, hang on this is funny, you
just hit the button, nice.
So it might take a bit for youto figure it out, but you should
be able to hook up your soundsand stuff to it and other stuff
Exactly.

you can program anything withit, and I figure I don't know
how many sounds you have, but Ifigured you know you can

pages, so, like you can set itup in the software to where I
think on there there's buttonsat the bottom that take you to
different pages.

I don't know Something about it, it just drew
my eye to it and even now, whenI pull it out of the closet, my
eye still goes to that one.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Even though Darth Vader's right there.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Right there, right there for the taking in the
right, proper color.
I think it was because it's offto the side and my focus was
the middle.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
That one is right in the middle.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Then I saw VD and I thought it was Vader.
I got excited and I was like, oh, that's, that was something
that was in the movie for like10 seconds, so you know I think
I think I've had this shirt for15 years it's been a minute
because I saw the cracks whenyou hold it up to the oh yeah,
yeah, but I have enough that Ican cycle, so I only wear it

(06:17):
like once a month, once everyother month, so not a big deal.
But yeah, this is was likefinished my shower after my
episode of Landman, I was like,okay, put on my usual go-to-bed
shirt.
Like no, no, no, no, that's myConjunction Junction shirt,
schoolhouse Rocks.
I was like that doesn't fit forthe pod, but it kind of does,

(06:38):
because I've worn it before.
I've worn it before, but I waslike no Duke's right.
I was like no Duke's right,it's mostly Star Wars some of
the time.

I was kind of you know how, there's laundry that
you do every week, and thenthere's I hadn't washed a bunch
of my Roosevelt shirts because Ijust was like, eh, I was like,

get too much laundry.
You're like, okay, I'm going tograb the towels.

that doesn't ever get washed ona regular basis.

(07:50):
So I washed all my Rooseveltshirts and I was like, oh shit,
salt Lake City Comic Con shirtcame with a Roosevelt's lanyard
and I was like, damn, I ain'tseen one of those before.
So I was like, oh, bonuslanyard.
And I was like, damn, I ain'tseen one of those before.

fell out and I was like, oh shit, what the, what the hell just

He just threw it in there with it.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I was like okay okay cool yeah, but I never seen one
before, or at least I hadn'tseen one in the wild.
I think they wear them fromoccasion.
Yeah, generally.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
They gave us a couple at San Diego.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh, I'd have to go back through my San Diego stuff,
or maybe I wasn't around forthat we always get the stickers
right.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah , the stickers are in there.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh, I gotta tell you guys which stickers I got, so
you can tell me if they're rareor not.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Are there rare stickers?
I don't even know.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
I don't know, I would imagine there's probably a
couple of them that are.
But I mean, you know, we canalso trade them amongst
ourselves to make sure we have awhole collection, a whole set.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
So many, oh, for sure .

Speaker 1 (08:57):
So, many.
But, no actually.
Yeah, I think I'm super dialedin for wearing just Roosevelt's
every day in Japan now.
You have that many.
Oh, that's a nice one Like thetiki room.
Yeah, I have that one.
I've seen that one.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
This one is the hang tag Hidden Easter egg A lot of
the licensed ones.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
the hang tags are also stickers.
Death, that must have been aHalloween exclusive one.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
That was my first thought too.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
He looks like Schoolhouse Rock.
He does Mascot dude.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
They haven't done any Schoolhouse Rock shirts, have
they?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
No, they should, that would sell out so fast.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, that would be awesome though.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
As long as it's not too busy, I'd buy them.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
They would have one that would be just the bill all
over, I'm sure, right the bill.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
For sure, yeah.
And then the ConjunctionJunction.
It'd be like stripes orsomething, just the railroad
tracks.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yep, do what is conductor out there.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Why do we not work for Roosevelt's guys?
What the hell.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
We're coming up with some great ideas right now right
and we're just giving them awayjust for free I have a bunch of
my pins too, don't be so muchdrawer here.
I don't think I've gotten anyof the pins.
You buy them on site or at thecons.

Speaker 3 (10:16):

Speaker 1 (10:20):

diego, none of them.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
We looked at them, but none of them were it when we
were in San Diego.

Speaker 1 (10:23):

We looked at them, but none ofthem were like, eh, like we were
like eh.

Speaker 2 (10:32):

what you get.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
But I mean we looked at what the pins were Right,
like what the options were youguys might have.
I don't remember doing that.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I thought we looked at them.
I'll take your word for it.
I don't remember that at all,holy shit.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Okay, yeah, yeah, because I know we were looking
for pins, but we were lookingfor, like, specific pins or
genres of pins.

You seem to have a lot more than usual usually.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, oh apparently reading some of the blogs.
Well, blogs, the facebook pages, the group pages, they've
changed their quality and uppedtheir quality because they said
the t-shirts sucked.
At first the quality washorrible, but the last six
months they said they've gottenway better.

spots.
Then I had my trade conferenceon Friday and that was like a
7.30 in the morning to 9 atnight event All of it I mean the

I was like you know what, I'mgood, the younger Lou would have
grabbed everything.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Everything.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Everybody with their notepads and pens.
I would have walked out ofthere with 65 pens, 40 notebooks
, 17 bags, but I was like Icould use this If I could use it
.
I took it.
That's how it came down to it.
It was like, oh, that's neat,but I ain't gonna use it.

(18:08):
Except for one thing.
I don't know how I'm gonna usethis.
It was a lamp, it was a littlething like this and you just
pulled it up to to be a lamp,like a camping lamp.
I guess that thing was kind ofcool.
I was like I don't camp, myblack ass didn't get eaten by a
bear, so that ain't happening.
Uh, and I have no other reasonwhy I would use this thing, but
I thought it was super coolthere'll be a time the power is
out.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, you're going to be wandering around.
There's a light on my phone,but the lantern will give it an
ambiance.
The light on your phone is justlike turn that shit off.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
It's like a flashlight, though, If the power
goes out.

Speaker 1 (18:37):

place probably wouldn't eventake it, especially now in
today's society.
I just don't get the point.
It was like, oh, sell yourTesla to this guy over here who
now has a Tesla.
You didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Car dealerships will take any car they might only
give you $500 for it.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
The dealership bonus is because I tell you right now,
if you have an opportunity tobuy a Tesla and you can get it
at a fraction of the costbecause a dealership took it in
at a fraction of the cost, hellI'd buy one.
I don't have any hate the waysome of these lefties do on
Tesla, but I don't care If I hadsome hate on some other car.
People still buy Volkswagens.

(20:48):
Nobody's crying about that.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
That was some time ago.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
It's still a Nazi car , people still buying that.
I don't understand thathypocrisy.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
But whatever they're not, because they did all that
with the miles per gallon, wherethey were lying about that for
a decade or whatever that didhappen for a while.
Yeah, I remember that they dida recall of all of the VWs I
remember seeing pictures of theSilverdome in Detroit where the
entire parking lot was just fullof VWs.

(21:18):
Because they couldn't sell them, they couldn't do anything with
them because that was part ofthe settlement.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
They done messed up.
Ron, oh man, speaking of which,I hope he doesn't go to the
steelers.
Good lord, I had russell wilsonand his leftover ass last year
and now I might get a ron,although I do hope he goes to
the vikings.
I'm not gonna lie just because,yeah, you would, man, I gotta
find me a, find me a dentist.
Oh, get that fixed, get thatinsurance.
May as well use it yeah youknow you would think something.

(21:53):
Just go back and and and, re, Idon't know, redefine some shit.
It's like you have dentures,for example.
Shouldn't that really be calleda substitute?
Why is it a substitute?

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Good lord, this motherfucker is sitting here
watching Landman while readingdad jokes.
He's like oh, I'm going to befucking Jeff Dunham tonight guys
.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
It's another left turn.
Love you, bubba J.
Although I did finally get myfreaking checkup done, you get
older, certain ages and shit, sohave to get your prostate
checked, which wasn't too bad, Iwas deeply touched.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
I can't wait until you get the slide whistle.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
I thought he had that already.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
That was way more appropriate for that one,
especially for what was comingout of Lou's butt after his
prostate exam man.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
It's like hey, hey, is that one finger, use two.
What's wrong with you?
You're going to test me.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Make sure I'm healthy , gay oh my god, oh my god.
I don't even want to talk, nomore, I'm just do sound effects
let's just sit in the back, justpush a button the whole time.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Slide, jack in the back, push the buttons.
Yep, oh my god.
So, yeah, so, anyway.
So I had that trade showbacking up 40 minutes the week,
the long week.
So I did all that.
Then yesterday I had lunch withmy niece and some friends.
That went, god, four or fivehours.
That led me into a St Patrick'sparty that I was going to.

(23:46):
Then I was there for a fewhours.
Your friends or her friends, no, my friends, okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
It should have been her friends.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
With my, with my, you're right, Slow.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
We just started hanging out again.
Before I start picking off herfriends, Let me you know.
But yeah, so we all.
so the four of us went up aroundI don't know five or six, and
then I went to the.
My other friends, I otherfriends I used to tutor their
kid in calculus.
He's a Star Wars fan, so weclicked pretty good a few years

(24:19):
back.
Cool kid, cool family.
They throw a St Patrick's partyevery year.
I missed it last year but I waslike, okay, I'll make sure I go
to this one Again.
That was late night, slept intoday and really into laundry
and straighten up type stufftoday.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
As one does as one does.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
What about you, Jack?
What was your week like?

Speaker 3 (24:45):
I failed my test for promotion.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
They don't know what they got.
Man Just saying.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
No, so actually it was just one part.
They had a bunch of differentcategories, so the part I didn't
pass was Conflict De-escalation.
You going to read that book?

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Shut the fuck up, get back to work, right, that
didn't go over as well as you'dhoped.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
No, making people cry , no, so I did a feedback thing
with one of the raiders, soraiders not raiders.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, Max Crosby walks in.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh, you're going to de-escalate me, motherfucker.
Yes, I'm going to drink thisbeer right in front of your
bitch ass.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Did you go and do feedback?
Yeah, oh, okay.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
So we'll see.
We'll see if I do it again nexttime.
At least I know what they'relooking for.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
If those dollar figures are enough, and how does
it change your schedule?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
That's one of the things I said.
I'm very happy withprofessionally right now.
Honestly, I get good schedule.
I got money.
Seniority Would it be worthgoing to Graveyard for Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday off For acouple extra dollars?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's what you would have Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, because it's like graduating from 8th grade
to 9th grade.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
I'm on top.
Now You're a seniority.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
But now I'm higher up , but now I'm at the bottom.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Go up, but now I'm at the bottom.
Yeah, okay, okay.
But I mean, then go ahead, dude.
But then you circle back to thestuff that we talked about
originally when you were, whenwe had the.
I think it was like one of thefirst conversations we had about
you becoming a supervisor.
Was that one of the things thatyou were interested in was that
you could actually make change.
Like there was shit that yousaw as a trainer and stuff that
you saw day to day, but youdon't have the ability to impact
that positively, right, atleast, as you would as a

(26:41):
supervisor.
Like you can make suggestionsand you can put stuff in the
suggestion box, but as asupervisor you'd actually be
able to make that change toimprove the work environment for
everybody.
And at that, at that moment youwere kind of like, oh yeah,
like that would be.
That's something that'sfrustrating me at my job.
You know what?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
I was told is that everybody goes into being a
supervisor, that with those big,lofty ideas, right.
But it also takes three to fouryears to make any kind of
decent change, just becauseeverything's so slow moving and
everything.
I'm like I'm the governmentshit.
I'm almost ready to retire.
I'm more than halfway throughmy career.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
You may change and be out the door exactly yeah
they'll be like the last day.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
They'd be like okay, we're gonna change how this
training schedule works.
And you'd be like and I'm out,here's my key to the city.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Bye bitches thanks for playing.
So we'll see.
I don't know Because really Iam happy where I'm at.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
So my question was going to be that stack you're
talking about.
So you have the super stack andthe regular stack and you're
like rank what?
25?

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Something like that, yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
And then how many?
25 out of how many?
I'm pushing 200.
Okay, so what's the number onthe super side?
You'd be numbered whatever thelast number is, but how many is
that?
Like 50 or something?

Speaker 3 (28:05):
No, it's not that high.
It's 20 at the highest, so 20soups.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, and you'd be at the bottom of the totem pole.
Yeah, yeah, sees, yeah, andyou'd be the bottom of the totem
pole.
Yeah, yeah, see.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Oh man, that'd be brutal well, and then I guess it
would depend if you know peopleare dropping off, then okay,
great and there are, but againI'm like, and then I can't post
how much, you know, I hate workmemes anymore because that
wouldn't be very supervisory ofme, you'd have to do it on your
private facebook page no, no, no, because you have to be able
supervisory of me.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
You'd have to do it on your private facebook page,
no no, no, because you have tobe able to trust who you're
working for and who you look upto.
So if you're telling thesetruths, I'm like, okay, I can
respect that dude versus peachesand cream.
It's like, oh, everything'sgreat, let me, let me just rub
that and just slob all that knob, and how great everything is.
Now nobody's gonna going tobelieve that shit Be true.

(28:53):
I'd rather somebody could fighthey, thinking about working at
this company, what can you tellme?
And it's like oh, it's great.
And all this is like no, no, no, no.
Tell me the real story.
Oh well, there's this and thisand like, okay, based off of
that, or I still want to gothere.
At least I know what I'mgetting myself into.
That's true, that's true.
I'd rather have that shit forsure.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, we'll see.
It's probably going to comearound sooner than later, just
because I know people that areleaving this year.
And if only three people aregoing to be on this list and one
of them is already on theprevious list, it's probably
going to get promoted.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
It's really just a little too, so I don't know.
We'll see.
Do you know how the other fivedid other?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
four did.
Yeah, only three of them madethe list.
Oh shit.
Yeah, two of us failed on theinterview part.
Like how?

Speaker 1 (29:44):
long before you know who actually got moved up to to
super racer who gets this isjust to make a list, oh okay.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
they always have to make a list, oh okay.
They always have to have a listjust in case.
So just getting on the listdoesn't get you promoted.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
So when it hits the fan, they have a pool they can
pull from.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, so it might be another.
Even if you would have passedall this, it might have been
another six months to eightmonths.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
And I'm saying you're just on the list.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's an 18-month list-ish.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
You have to re-apply, saying like I'm saying it's a
18 month list, ish, because thereapply.
Yeah, yeah, one of the girlsthat's on the previous list.
She had to retest this listbecause her list expires in
august.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Um, okay, I assume it's the same test, so that
seems kind of stupid, I thinkthey mix it up a little bit, but
basically, yes, the same time.
But but yeah, but I'm like, butstill I can't imagine she would
have lost credibility to be asupervisor you see what I mean.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
But also she's been an acting supervisor since
before then, so oh well, it wasprobably a cakewalk for her.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
So it's so.
It's the way for them to haveher do the job.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Well, she gets 4% extra.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Which you know when you're talking, half a milli 4%
ain't nothing to sniff at.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
I mean I guess Extra 20 grand sure.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, we'll just take Lou's salary, we'll tack it on
the end of Jack's salary andthen there you go.
That's what he's going to makeus For real.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
That's why I got to do eBay so I can afford to hang
out with you guys.
That's why I got to do eBay soI can afford to hang out with
you guys.
He's cried because it's true.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Great, now he needs another shower.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Awesome, you can't afford two showers in a day.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
No, no, you've got to put the water here.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
He's out here with a paper towel, just like guys.
This is all I can afford.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
There's gas to heat the water, so I have a hot
shower.
Yeah, and then I'll have towatch Landman, so I can take a
cold shower.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
He actually has a hose running from his neighbor's
faucet into his bathroom, sowhen he has to take a second
shower he just turns the fauceton.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Ignore the splitter I have on the cable outside.
Don't even look at that.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
I don't think that shit would work anymore.
No, not without a cable.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Well, yeah, not without a box.
You have to have a box to splitit up.
You can't just go straight fromcable to TV.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Back in the day.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Have cables split everywhere.
I split this line.
Split this line.
I got six TVs hooked up.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
I lived in a house once where they had cable and
satellite, and that was whenthey had the big giant satellite
dishes outside oh, the RJ andwe would be able to watch all
the pay-per-view stuff.
Because the satellite wouldbroadcast the video but it
wouldn't have an audio track.
But then all the cable boxeshad scrambled video, but it
wouldn't have an audio track.
But then all the cable boxeshad scrambled video but they

(32:36):
would put the audio through.
So then all we needed to do wasjust line up the right.
We'd be like the right audiofeed with the right video feed.
Then we could watch whatever.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Try to sync that shit .

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Watch multiple Mike Tyson.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
I can appreciate that that's some ghetto shit right
there.
That's solid.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Watching.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Mike Tyson that that's some ghetto shit right
there.
God damn it.
That's solid Watching.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Mike Tyson fight.
That's good work Watching MikeTyson.
I distinctly remember, as myfriend came over and we were
watching a Mike Tyson fight andit was, you know, 60 bucks or
whatever it was, and the fightlasted 45 seconds and I was like
man, people got fucking rippedoff they were expecting that
shit Like it was.
It was like started at 6o'clock and was like done at
6.05.
I was like damn somebody DonKing made some motherfucking

(33:17):
money that night, jeez.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
I remember people talking about that that they
would not get the fights becausethey didn't think it would last
long enough.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
To make it worthwhile .

Speaker 3 (33:28):
That's why chicks aren't into me, they pay at 6
and you're kicking them out at6.05.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Jack, you pay them well, me they pay at six and
you're kicking them out at 605.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I was going to say, jack, you pay them well enough,
they stick around.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
You've kept one around for decades.
At this point it's true Decades.
We've seen each other get old.
It's weird.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
We've celebrated our 21st birthdays in consecutive
years wow ah, we're old soanyways wait other stuff
happened.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, daredevil happened.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yep, daredevil happened.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
That was good it was kind of expected, so it was like
alright, but see it's writtenwell but it was well, I was
going to say but it was executedall right, but see it's written
.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Well, I was going to say but it was executed, no
matter what, really well.
Well, and again you have towonder if the stuff that happens
at the end is because theycouldn't, because the guy died a
couple years ago.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Well, I'm just going to mind the comic book story.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Well, I'm just saying , though, it's one of those kind
of creepy coincidence type ofthings.
They had recorded all of thisstuff and then knowing that
between the time they knew hewas dying, did they?

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, from what I read, they knew the situation.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Okay, I just know that he passed.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
I didn't know any of the other?

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah, but I didn't know any of the other.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
I didn't know any of the other details as far as how
long ahead they knew andeverything.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
He's actually in the Indiana Jones game.
Yeah, it's his last performanceAlso.
Tony Todd is in Indiana Jones,also his last performance.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
I hated fighting Tony Todd in that game.
Same, just bullshit.
So much of the rest of the gamewas really good, but when you
had to fight him and he's justconstantly grabbing you, you're
like motherfucker.
Nobody else in the game fightslike this and this is all he's
got.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
He was trying to make it your final destination.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
He was like give me all your candy man Did you know,
like four people will get thatjoke.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
We're three of them.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
The guy from Indiana will get it.
The guy getting us to the DesMoines Comic.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Con yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Those guys tell jokes that I think are funny.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
We need to get them on board.
We're out for you.
Fan Expo Des Moines.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Put them in our Hall H.
They will fill that shit up.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Oh man, we're going to end up being like Kevin Smith
, where it's like the room'sfull and we're just sitting
there riffing for three hoursJust telling his stories.
Hey, you remember when KevinSmith told that funny Superman
story?

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Remember when Kevin Smith got ditched because of the
Star Wars concert.
Oh, poor guy.
What was that Episode 7?
When that happened?
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, because they had that out on the island right
.
Yeah, the little outsideamphitheater over there, yeah, I
remember.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
It was either 15 or 17.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, I think I remember you guys talking about
it.
We were in text talking aboutit.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
So for the fans out there who are not sure what the
hell we're talking about, kevinSmith had a panel in Hall H at
Comic-Con in San Diego after theStar Wars panel and his shit's
banging.
He's got a full crowd.
People want to hear him.
He just stopped there talkingand it's great.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
He does it every year Just to quantify.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I'm trying to think.
I was like is that valuableinformation?
Probably actually.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
He does it every year , so it's's not something this
isn't.
This wasn't like a one-offthing, no not at all, not at all
.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
I was gonna say, yeah , that probably makes sense, but
the uh star wars panel beforethat were given out basically
passes to go a half mile away, ahalf mile walk about yeah, a
half mile walk to the uh, to theamphitheater where the symphony
was John Williams doing afreaking concert and everybody

(37:40):
bolted out of the 6,000 seatroom and Kevin Smith had like 50
people.
I mean it wasn't that bad,obviously, but I exaggerate, but
it just totally destroyed hisaudience.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
If you ever get a chance to see John Williams
conduct an orchestra, youfucking go.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
It doesn't matter.
You know what?
I wonder Because, jack, youjust froze right there on Kun.
So I wonder, like when theplayback is it frozen on your
side?
I don't know, I'm curious,we'll find out.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Yeah, he's right.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
He's right If there's an opportunity to go where John
Williams is conducting thefricking symphony.
You go.
That's all there is to it.
It's like ghostbusters man.
If you ask your God, you sayyes.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Otherwise, otherwise this will be our viral moment of
Jack calling John Williams acunt Like yep Yep.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
One of those Shit, one of those bad publicity shit.
There is nowadays.
Used to be the thing, right, nosuch thing as bad publicity.
Oh, there is now.
You say the wrong thing,whatever.
You got these freaking peoplewho can't handle anything, so
sensitive to everything.

(38:50):
These days it's like oh my god.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Jack's already getting worked up, and we
haven't even made a joke abouthim yet.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Yeah, yeah, it's coming up.

Speaker 2 (39:03):

Florida too humid, Chicago toomurky, and it was in August.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Exactly that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
They keep doing that shit.
They don't pick April inOrlando, no, they pick freaking
August.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
This was Empire right .
Was this an Empire celebration?

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, because the logo was Boba Fett, like above
the V.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
You know what?
I've only been to Indy Anaheimtwice and LA I think.
I think that's all.
I've been to so far.
Like I said, I won't go toChicago and I won't go to
Orlando.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
It's not hardcore enough, Like these motherfuckers

No, because you're on my left.

both.
What the hell?
No, I mean again, I, I don't, I, I can't be that uncomfortable
because I'm gonna be pissy thewhole time and I can't enjoy
myself.
And then if I go to chicago,I'm gonna need kevlar and I'll
be holding my wallet the wholetime waiting for somebody to
steal it or shoot me.

(40:50):
So it's like not going tochicago, I'm not going to
orlando oh in august, it waswild.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
The last time we were in chicago was day one.
It was like 75, like I remembertaking the uber from the
airport to the hotel and it waslike 75, not a cloud in the sky.
The next day I get up andthere's fucking snow on the
ground, you remember that shitjack.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
It was crazy.
What, what time of the year wasthis?
When was this?

Speaker 1 (41:14):
I'd have to look it up Because out here it will snow
through Mother's Day out here.
It might have been April, butI'd have to look it up.
That's doable.
I woke up and I looked out thewindow and I'm like is there
just snow on the floor?
What the fuck?
Yesterday it was 75 degrees.
What the fuck is going on right?

Speaker 2 (41:30):
now Y'all remember Indy right Trying to get them
George Lucas tickets.
It was raining and I camped outin that shit.
It was great.
I'm not going to lie.
I missed that.
I missed those days.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Because all the queues were outside they had no
queues inside at all.
They were like oh, you guys canwait outside and you're sitting
outside you to do Like we'vegot this sweet Yoda hoodie.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah, but, but.
But you know what, though?
But it felt like I was a partof it though.
So that whole that's why I meanthat when I say I miss it it
was like that felt legit.
It was like, all right, cool.
And then I camped out overnightto get the, and then somebody
took my spot in line.
Maybe might have been my ex,but no, it was Charles or

(42:17):
Gretchen, one of them two.
They came and took my spot.
Then I went so I could take ashower and clean it up, and then
came back and joined them.
That was fun.
I remember when I first gotthere it was time to kill and I
hadn't had White Castle inforever.
Celebration for IndyCelebration 3.
Hotel was not even a milestraight Same sidewalk.
I just had to walk up thesidewalk and I was going to hit

(42:38):
a White Castle on my left-handside and I had that for dinner
that night after I landed.
That stuck with me.
The other thing that stuck withme was I was staying in a hotel
where there was like a murdertwo weeks before that.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Thankfully you might go to Chicago.
Thankfully, yeah, thankfullywe'll go to Chicago thankfully
yeah, I'll go to.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Indy, though I'll go back to Indy again, not Chicago
though, which is more likely tohappen in Chicago or Indy?
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I would be hard pressed for them ever to have a
celebration outside of Orlandoor LA again.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I just don't that's what I said.
Jack wasn't sure because I waslike they have no reason to have
the Disney backup plan inOrlando and then anaheim.
Why would you not ever have itin anaheim?

Speaker 3 (43:16):
disney owned it when they went to chicago, so but it
might have already been pre thatsometimes they do those
contracts years in advance.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
That's true not that far, though.
That was what chicago 2019.
They bought that shit sevenyears earlier, so there's no way
, like I guarantee.
They know where 2027 is goingto be, but only 2027.
They don't know where the nextone after that is going to be.
They don't know where 2030 isgoing to be.
I assume 2030, because 50th ofEmpire, yeah, so I'm assuming
2030.

(43:43):
So 2027, I'm almost certainthey know where that is because
they're going to announce it.
I'm guessing in Japan.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
So 2026 will be Orlando, right.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
I don't think they'll do a 26.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
No.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
I thought they were going to go back and forth.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
I thought they had said something about that.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
But it was every two years.
They only did 22-23 because ofthe COVID year that pushed
Anaheim Remember that wassupposed to be 2020.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
So two years, do we want to put our predictions down
where it's going to be?
I mean, it's going to beOrlando.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
I'm going Anaheim, even though they did it in 22.
I think they're going to goback.
But I would not be surprised Ifit's Orlando, chicago, I would
be very surprised.
Any other place than Orlando,anaheim, I'd be surprised.
And obviously a new spot, I'dbe super surprised.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
We're all crashing with Lou.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
I was like coming back to Denver.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
Wait, what See?
That was surprising.
I think, depending on how bigthey make it, there's an outside
chance it could be LA, BecauseAnaheim is pretty small in the
grand scheme of things.
Where LA is huge, theconvention center that is.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah, I don't know, I get you.
No, I get you.
I just think because of theDisney connection, they'll just
do Anaheim or Orlando.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No reason not to take thoseextra bucks, because especially
people oh, I only have a passfor Thursday or Thursday-Sunday.
Well then, I know what you'redoing Friday-Saturday, because I
know what I'd be doingFriday-Saturday if I was in that
situation.
So I would try to get aFriday-Saturday badge and then

(45:10):
Disney on the ends.
I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Well, I mean, I think that's why it's smart for you
guys to wait until the end ofthat week to go, because if you
try to go on Monday and Tuesdayafter celebration, those places
are going to be.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Or before.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Yeah, those places are going to be crazy.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Wednesday, thursday before, monday, tuesday after.
You're right about that.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Yeah, those weekends yeah, you're right about that.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, those, those weekends, yeah, those days are
just going to, yeah, so although, speaking to this, this kind of
goes into what you guys talkedabout earlier that I don't know
about.
So it'll be actual reactionsfrom Lou.
You guys said you had theschedule.
You guys looked at it, I didnot look at it.
So I saw it was out.
I was like I another when I gothome.
I did not want to look at it, Ijust wanted to veg, I didn't

(45:51):
want to think about anything, Iwas playing my puzzle games and
was like, no, I don't want to doit, I'll look at it later.
So this is basically will be myfirst time, other than you know
, hey, there's this panel, or inthe, in the, in the thread that
came out, or just go on theFacebook page and people like,
oh, I'm going to go to thispanel.
That's all I know.
So Is that the?

Speaker 1 (46:14):
intro to the Star Wars segment of the podcast.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
No, it's called an erection.
That's okay, alright, do you?

Speaker 1 (46:22):
guys want to do it by time and then do all three days
, or do you want to go by?

Speaker 2 (46:26):
day.
I don't want to go through thewhole thing.
We're going to bore a bunch ofpeople.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Well, I'm just going to give you the highlights.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Yeah, highlights.
Okay, start with one day.
Yeah, start with Friday.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
So, Friday it seems like every day in the morning
they're doing droid racing,which is crazy, acceptable.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
No interest for morning stuff.
I'll be at the store.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
The first thing will be Friday at 10 am.
Living your Star Wars story inthe theme parks.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
You said highlights.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Well, I'd be interested to highlight he was
in the thread, he was excitedabout the theme park ones.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
So yeah, but he's gonna be at the store too yeah
maybe I'll send the girls.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
I'll send the girls go to this.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Oh, there you go there you go, yeah, uh, and then
uh, mando and grogu.
At 10 am, 10 as well, uh, 10,30, they're doing star Wars TV
ads through the years.
That might kind of beinteresting.
I mean that would be,interesting 11.30 for Lou.
Dark Side for Life, why the badguys are so impactful and just
way cooler.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
If I'm done with the store, I would go straight to
that panel.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
You are correct 11.30 is also the Hasbro Star Wars
panel, 12 o'clock Ahsoka'sUnderworld Mythology, Folklore,
Fairy Tales, Tales and JosephCampbell.
So let's see Light and Magic, AGlimpse into the Magic of
Season 2.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Season 1 was awesome.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Season 2 of what Light and Magic, the Story of
ILM.
It was one of the first I thinkit was in the first set of
things.
It was one of the first I thinkit was in like the first stuff,
the first set of things thatcame out on.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Disney plus?
Yeah, I think so.
Oh that, oh my God, that goesback six years.
Yeah, yeah, Five years, fiveand a half years, okay, all
right, that was cool.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Um, let's see, that's kind of our shit.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
I think I agree with you on that one.
Let's see when I startedcollecting again, when we all
started collecting.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Again 2 o'clock is Lucasfilm publishing stories
from a galaxy far, far away.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Probably just talking about the books or the comics
too right.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
No, the comics will be Marvel, right or IDW.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Is it Marvel?
Still no, it's.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Marvel.
Sometimes they let Dark Horse.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Do some of them.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Okay, you're right 330 on Friday, Lucasfilm
Animation's 20th anniversary.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Hells.
Yeah, dave's going to be up inthere, so you know he's going to
announce Tales of whateverTales of's going to announce
Tales of whatever.
Tales of the Clones or Tales ofthe Exactly.
Don't make that shit face, lou.
He's coming back to animation.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
That is true.
That is true.
Animation was where he was good.
He fell off when he startedsucking on Kathleen's tit.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
It was Jon Favreau who was a bad influence on him.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Mm-hmm.
I don't care about that Fiveo'clock, doug Chang, designing
the Worlds of Skeleton crew.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
I've never heard Doug .

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Chang talk, so that might be kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
You all really love yourselves some.
Doug Chang, I heard him.
Oh, I don't know if, jack, youwere with me, but I heard him in
Anaheim.
He had a panel.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
He was actually pretty cool.
He was very well-spoken.
Yes yes.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
It was worth it.
I've always enjoyed any YouTubevideo that he's talking,
especially even back with 99when he was talking about all
the.
I mean he basically was likethe McQuarrie of the prequels.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
He still is honestly, I was going to was like the
McQuarrie of the prequels Shit.
He still is.
Honestly, that's still whathe's doing Back in the prequels.
It was him and Rick McCallum.
That's all you heard from allthe time, Saturday, 10 am.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
You got Andor Up at the store.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Likely at the store.
Actually I say that, but itreally depends If I get all my
shopping that I want done onFriday and I don't have the pins
and I'm not a huge fan of thepins that are other than the
badge pins, badge art pins theother ones I was like eh, okay.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Which we never got clarification on if they were
actually going to release all ofthem or if it was just going to
be a selection.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
It seems like based off of a circumstantial reading
and all that.
That.
It was just going to be aselection.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
It seems like based off of a circumstantial reading
and all that that it was justgoing to be those five, A
selection of yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Yeah, but the problem is a selection of could be five
of 17, but they could have fivemore and it's really 10 of 17.
But a selection of definitelydoes not mean all we know
they're not doing all.
That's all we know.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
This one might be kind of cool.
So at 12 o'clock they haveScience of the Revenge of the
Sith.
Revenge of the Sith is full ofconnections to real-world
science and technology.
Can you really battle over ariver of lava?
Almost, why, no?
Why no Poisonous gases, bro?
No, no, no, you were answeringthe question.
Yeah, I think this is as closeas we're going to get Lou to

(51:17):
your law stuff, your law series,because this one actually has a
doctor of robotics, a doctor ofvolcanology particle physics.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Oh, this is like my legal geeks.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Yeah, james Floyd is hosting, so that might be
something.
1 o'clock will be Ahsoka.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Plus his bad guy stuff.
Wait, say that again.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
1 o'clock is Ahsoka 1 o'clock is Ahsoka, the Ahsoka
presentation.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Really that late in the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Yeah, well because, well, because, andor's before
and if Andor shows all theirfirst three episodes, their
first arc, then that's athree-hour panel.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Yeah, so if it starts at 10 and they do an hour and
then they show the first two,yeah, exactly, That'll roll you
right into it.
I assume they have the mainstage and then a bunch of
smaller they have one stage andthen they have two simulcast
stages, so I'm sure those oneswill probably not be hard to get
into.
Yeah, as a simulcast stages,I'm sure those ones will
probably not be hard to get into, yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
As a matter of fact, I'm the type who I wouldn't even
fight the main stage, I wouldjust go straight to the
simulcast.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
I thought the queues were for the main room, or are
they for all three of them?
I think it's all three roomsdude.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
You're talking about the lottery to get into an
overcast over floor room.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
That would suck if they were like hey, you won, oh
alright.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
I think it was.
I thought you could just walkinto one of those.
I know you could do it at SanDiego, but the Anaheim had a
lottery for overflow.
Holy crap.
I don't remember that thatsucks.
We'll figure it out as we getcloser, obviously this week.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
We have two months as of today boys.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Yeah two months today .
We land a month from today.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
We on the train 230, doug Chang's master class
working in the Star Wars artdepartment.
That one might actually be moreinteresting than the other one
because it seems more broad.
I do like broads.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
A conversation with oscar isaac at 245.
That may be kind of cool, but Idid hear he's coming back as
apocalypse in a new avengermovie.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Well, that wouldn't surprise.
They're gonna bring everybodyback like let's be real.
I agree they're gonna beeverybody that has ever been
part of the mcu is gonna havesomething to do, regardless of
how lame they were.
Screening Siege of Mandalore.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Is he going to do Apocalypse?

Speaker 3 (53:36):
It's the four-episode arc of the last season of Clone
Wars.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
yeah, the Dad Badge Podcast.
Yes, they did, and that's kindof it.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
There's a couple of vintage japanese things that
might be kind of cool, butanything on sunday I'm nothing
on sunday, sunday, sunday,sunday oh shit, actually sunday
is pretty as far as like stuffgoes.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
It's pretty stacked.
It looks like, uh, history in agalaxy far, far away.
First Thing in the Morning,first Look Star Wars Visions
Volume 3.
That'll be fun To the JapaneseGarrison Celebrating 25 Years in
the 501st Legion.
All the Stormtroopers gonna beshort.
I'm your Father.
Vintage Star Wars Toys vs LegoStar Wars.

(54:30):
And now, all of a sudden, allof our passports just got
revoked.

Speaker 3 (54:35):
Oh shit, I need a.
That's a racist button.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Yeah, you do.
You need some Uncle Ruckusbuttons.
Over there Is there a closingceremony?

Speaker 1 (54:52):
or talk panel.
We're getting there.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
I thought you were done 11.15, Kurosawa and Star
Wars.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
That might be kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
That might be cool.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
But at the same time as Disney experiences building
the galaxy with Walt DisneyImagineering, which is probably
what they're going to talk about, all the stuff that's going to
be happening, the changes toSmuggler's Run and stuff like
that.
Ilm presents the Mandalorianand Beyond.
Behind the scenes of theMandalorian Book of Boba Fett,
star Ahsoka and more.
That might be kind of cool.

(55:20):
I like behind the scenes shit.
Good shows, I agree.
The heroic sidekicks of StarWars.
Maybe they'll talk about Omega50 Years of Magic Celebrating
She'll have her own movie soon,don't worry about that, yeah, no
.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Omega, 50 Years of Magic Celebrating, she'll have
her own movie soon.
Don't worry about that.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
Yeah, no shit 50 Years of Magic Celebrating the
Legacy of ILM.
I'd be down with that.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
How was All right?
That seems like it'd be ageneral Comic-Con panel, not a
Star Wars Celebration panel.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
But ILM's Star Wars?

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I know it's part of it, but I'mthinking of all the other shit
that ILM does, which iseverything, which is why I
thought that would be a generalpanel, not a celebration.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Looks like Ahmed Best is hosting with Doug Chang.
John Dahl.
We love John Dahl.
John Rob Coleman.
Canole and a couple people thatI don't recognize their names,
but I'm guessing they're 4.30 onSunday.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I thought they closed at 4 on Sunday, so how could it
be at 4.30?

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Well, the thing starts at 3, so I'm like okay,
or 3.30, sorry, the closingceremony starts at 3.
And none of them have Okay 3o'clock, 3.30 to 4.
So they'll be done at 4, sayingget the hell out.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
You don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Sayonara, please go to Tokyo Disney.

Speaker 2 (56:42):
No, they don't care, they're a franchise.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
I mean, they still make money off you going.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
I don't think so, because you just pay your
franchise fee usually is whathappens.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
We don't, uh, so I was looking.
Pirates of the Caribbean isclosed while we're there, which
is very sad because they stillhave the winch auction where you
buy the, buy the witches, buyit by the.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Lou never saw the OG pirates, yeah, no it's.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
You had a big banner by a winch, so he's up on stage
selling the fat chick.
And then the redhead is overthere in her dress and her big
show them your.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Uh, what the hell does he say is over there in her
dress and her big boobs, showhim your.
What the hell does he say Showhim your.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Show him your hindquarters.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
No, it's not hindquarters.
It's Shit when he's telling thegirl, the auction girl, to turn
around.
Yeah, I don't remember whatthey say, though.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
Whatever, the back of the boat is Aft.
Yeah, and I'm like we want someredhead.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
We want the redhead.
And then they had the People inthe circle Chasing each other,
like now it has the girls withfood and the guys chasing.
Back.
In the day it was just the guyschasing the girls.
That's more realistic.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
No, just trying to get An opportunity to pay for
their services.
Guys chasing the girls, that'smore realistic.
No, they're just trying to getan opportunity to pay for their
services.
I saw man of La Mancha.
Those services are paid for.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
So that's kind of sad .
What else?
The only one that's closed,that one.
And Winnie the Pooh oh, thatone's popular too.
I know All the videos are likeyou've got to go on Winnie the
pooh.
Oh, that one's popular too.
I know all the videos are likeyou've got to go on winnie the
pooh, yeah, yeah yeah, but yeahno, that one's closed.
So sad panda, I guess I have togo back again 28.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
I already have it planned with 20 because I expect
27 to be celebration somewhere.
So 28 is already my radar.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
To go back but they they might have it in London or
Germany as well.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
I doubt it, not in 28 .
Because, again, assuming a50-year anniversary in 27,
they're not going to do anotherone the following year.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
But I'm saying the next international one, I don't
think they'll go back to Japan.
No, no, no, I'm going back toJapan.
Oh, just to go, just to go.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
I am going in 28 just to go, because I missed all the
stuff, because the way theschedule is playing out, I'm
only going to make it to Okinawa.
So I was like I'm going to flyinto Okinawa and then go to
mainland after 28.
But if they do London again, Idon't know 29, 30, whatever.
If they do 30 for Empire,obviously it's Empire.
I don't care where.

(59:17):
I'll even go to Chicago for50th of April and I will show up
in Kevlar.
Just so y'all know what are youcosplaying?

Speaker 1 (59:25):
as A concerned citizen, no, you're cosplaying
as Elon Musk.
You're just going to have alittle fake baby on your
shoulders and Kevlar lookingawkward under your black shirt.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
That's what it takes to get to Chicago.
Man, that's fine, I'll getthere, I'll drive, I'll show my
Tesla.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Lou's showing up like .

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Chicago would love you.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Lou's showing up like the Hangover with got a little
baby fake baby and a baby BjornKevlar.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
So he fits in.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Oh yeah, cosplay is going to be for real.
Well, yeah.
So whatever freaking 2030 is,don't care, I'll be there Again.
I'm presuming they're not goingto be idiots and not have one,
that you expect 27, you expect30, you expect 33.
So we'll see what reallyhappens, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Yeah, it'll be interesting if they have it in
29 or 30.
Why?
Because, if it's 25, 27, 29would be the two years.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
You know, what they could do is do a small like,
let's say they are going to gointernational.
They could do Anaheim orOrlando in 29.
Just no real well, because itwould still be anniversary of
episode 9.
Yeah, so you'd still have 10years there.
And then I mean, think about it, they did do 22 Anaheim, 23

(01:00:56):
London.
So, granted, I understand itwas because 22 got pushed.
It's not out of the questionyeah, Exactly so you could be
onto something 27, 29, 30.
And then they skip and they do32, 33 again, or something like
that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Well, and now that the I think D23, you also have
to take that into account too,because they don't want those
right next to each other,because they want everybody who
has already dumped a ton ofmoney.
Well, they want people to dumpa ton of money into both and not
make them choose by having them.
So I'm guessing that's whythese are in, the later ones are
gonna.
You know, the one two years agowas in august because d23 was

(01:01:34):
in april d23 is even years right?

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
no, they alternate, it's every year.
I feel like it's every year.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
They did it last year , right, because it's not this
year.
Right so it's even years, yeah,and then they switch between
Anaheim and Orlando for that.
Right.
So it's four years for each oneRight, like the Olympics,
basically.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
What do you guys think about San Diego Comic-Con
going international?

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
Meh, I don't care about that.
I don't care about the fuckingcruise or any of that shit,
whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
That too Didn't faze me one bit.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
That's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
Yeah, pretty much Well it's good for them, though
Maybe this will help with everyyear, them talking about how
they don't have any money andblah blah, blah blah yeah, the
only things on my radar,honestly, and not in any
particular order, but maybe anew york comic-con I'll hit that
one of these times wonder con,eccc uh, just to say I been

(01:02:37):
there, you know, it's not like,oh, I need to make this a
regular thing.
No, I just want to go there atleast once, and I think my order
would be NYCC, probablyWonderCon, and then ECCC, new
York, yeah, nycc, wondercon,eccc, that's probably my order,
then maybe PAX or GenCon, soGenCon might be on my list.
Just because there'sIndianapolis Uh-huh, yeah, that

(01:03:02):
same hotel.
Wait, daedalus, uh-huh, stay atthat same hotel, wait till
somebody gets murdered, thenbook it and then walk up to
White Castle.
They need to time it aroundfall, go catch a cold skate and
it's Indoor Stadium.
That would be kind of cool.
I'd be right with that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
When we were there, the RCA Dome was still a thing.
That was way back in the day,that was way before Lucas Oil
yeah, before Lucas Oil, was itway.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
I thought it was shortly after that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
I remember looking through the double doors and
seeing signs that were promotingthe RCA Dome while we were
promoting the rca dome, while wewere at celebration I know, but
wasn't it like, not even twoyears later, or so it?
Was it wasn't too long it waspretty.
It was pretty soon thereafter,yeah, so oh, I did go see mickey
17 on tuesday yeah how was it?
I liked it, but it was it.

(01:03:58):
It's definitely a slow burn.
It's funny how we were talkingafterwards how we've gone and
seen Companion and Mickey 17 andthere was a third movie that
was a smaller, almost indiemovie, and all three of them we
were like, oh yeah, these areall really good.
But then we go and see CaptainAmerica and the bigger movies

(01:04:20):
and those ones are likedisappointments, where we go to
the other smaller movies andthey end up being really good.
Like Mickey 17 was good.
I just was not.
I went in tired and it was oneof those movies that you can't
go in being tired because likeit's slow enough that you're
just like, okay, like I'menjoying what I'm, I'm enjoying
what I'm seeing, but there's notenough stuff going on to not

(01:04:41):
make me go.
Oh wait, oh, did he die again?

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Yeah, yeah, uh, but the humor, it was really, it was
really funny.
Uh, like the characterizationsthat, like Mark Ruffalo and Tony
Collette do, as far as likeleading this, this ship and the
reasons why he's doing it andeverything, are pretty funny.
Um, all the acting was spot on.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
Probably going to take a big one to see that.
And Nova Cain, because wife andlittle are going to Disneyland
for her birthday.
Nice, this coming up, mm-hmm.

Why not both?
Well, we'll give you a littletoast.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
Daredevil ends the 15th, so it comes out the 22nd.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
I was hoping that it dropped on, you know, the
weekend that Celebration was andthen I'd have two weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
No, I think it's the following Tuesday after
Celebration.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
Sam.
That's why I don't get whypeople are like, yeah, we should
go to the Andor panel so we cansee the first episode.
Fuck that you can watch itthree days later.
Right, go, do something morefun at Celebration.
Yeah go to the store.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Go to the store.
You're going to be there fivehours in line anyway, right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Stop being ignorant, or not?
Some?

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
of us dealt with Celebration 3.
Wasn't there one?

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
year of celebration where by the end of the second
day, there wasn't even a lineyou could just walk in.
I don't remember whichcelebration it was, but I
thought there was one that theones that went out of
merchandise.
Was it the last LA one whereeverything was just gone?
It might have been, I don'tremember the last LA one, you
guys going to the store.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
I thought we all went as a group at one point Wasn't
there only one LA one.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Yeah or sorry.
The Anaheim, the last Anaheimone Okay, anaheim 2022.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
We went to the store every day.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
Right, but.
But I know we at one point allof us went into the store
together and there was like noline.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
We didn't wait at all .

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
That's also because most of the shit was sold out.
Yeah, there wasn't anythingthere, we were just like okay
well, what are the?
Scraps.
And can we order badges Right?
Yep, because in the 10 of themthat they've done, they've never
been able to figure out thebadges.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
Never.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
It's the stupidest thing, it's the one frustrating.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
No, it wasn't Anaheim 22,.
Not bad, or was it 15 that I'mthinking of, anaheim, where you
can just go to that little roundtable by the entrance and you
just fill out the damn paperworkright there.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
I don't even think I got.
I didn't even get the 22 badges.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
I don't know.
Oh, you're right, in 22, therewas like a post-ordering
situation and it was shitty, but15 was fantastic, it was 15.
Post-ordering situation and itwas shitty, but 15 was fantastic
, it's 15.
You just walked up to that.
There was a person sittingthere at a little round like a
bars table.
Yeah, just walked up there,felt the paperwork you're good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Yeah, they tore off the piece, they handed you the
other one, and then you, youpaid right there and it was good
to go.
2015 was smooth, yeah you'reright, 22, 22 so yeah, well,
because they were like oh, youhave to order it afterwards, and
then they were everything's up,and then you went there and it
was all gone.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Like they didn't have a queue or anything that one
makes no sense.
Why would they ever cap that?
Just put them up, whoever wantsthem just make that many.
That to me is bad business.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
They didn't ask us though.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
No, some stuff you want to be limited, especially
like you're in the store orwhatever.
Okay, but something like badges, badges, pins, magnets, any of
that stuff.
Make as many as people want.
And I don't mean the tradingpins, because those are the
collectible aspect of that, butthe basic pins.
If you want the, what is theshow?

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
pins.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
The show art.
Is that what it's called theshow art, key art?
Is that what it's, the key art?
In a magnet form, button form,pin form, whatever form you want
.
Make as many as people ask for.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Or limit it to 1,000, right, but make them numbered.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
One or the other.

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
So that you say you have number 842 out of 1,000,
which they don't do yeah, I'mgoing to go either way.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
Open-ended or numbered limited.
Yeah, ah, ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
Whatever, whatever I Ridiculous.
Whatever, I'm sure it'll beamazing this year, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
Yes, If we know nothing else from Reed.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
They always come up with solutions to the problems
from the last time.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
Yeah, that's played out really well this year.
People still bitching about thefreaking art show failure.
I'm still waiting to hear backon mine After mine got cancelled
and everything both of myorders got charged a freaking
art show failure.
Well, I'm still waiting to hearback on mine.
I mean, uh, they, after minegot canceled and everything both
of my orders got charged and itwasn't like it's pending, it
went through.
I've already paid off thecredit card, uh, for those two.

(01:12:13):
So they told me they'll getback to me later and I was like
I'll wait.
As I know, the lady was gone atECCC, so I'll wait and chill.
And now that we're a week and ahalf later from that sale
tomorrow, I'm going to reach outand say, hey, you told me
you're going to give me someinformation on what the
situation is.
I'm kind of waiting with thatsituation is.
I mean I'm not beeline belining it in the exhibit hall to

(01:12:35):
go get this piece of art.
But I mean I actually didn'thave to and if they're going to
charge me for it, I got toimagine it's legit.
But they also canceled my order.
So I'm going to have a canceledorder and not a complete order
or whatever.
So it's like don't get me wrong, I'll have my car statement
with me.
My statement with me is likeuh-uh, you charge me for this if
it's not resolved by then.

(01:12:55):
And then, worst case scenario,I'll just call and say, hey,
they charged me and didn'tactually give me product.
They charged me twice.
Yeah, the pins I didn't thinkthere was a problem, the pins
other than not everybody gettingthe email.
That was bad a couple of weeksago or a month ago.
And then the art.
What was the lane reservation?

(01:13:16):
Yes, which was dumb as fuck.
Okay, opens at five or four,whatever time zone you're in.
Opens at the top of the hour,but we're going to send you your
link at two or four minutespast the hour, like what is
wrong with you people youcouldn't even get into the
facebook group first before Igot the email I got it off of
twitter, yeah.
And then I got my email and Ihad three.

(01:13:37):
I had three, I had my, did Ihave three.
I had two tabs open on mylaptop and my phone, because I
used my phone for the Twitterconnection and then my laptop
and my phone.
One worked but I couldn'tfigure it out, my fat fingers
couldn't figure it out right.
So I could have gotten a Fridaywhistle, but I could have
gotten a Saturday early on.
But I shut down the phone andjust left it on my computer.

(01:13:59):
And then Saturday and Sundaywere open and I was like, well,
I'd rather have the earlier timeon sunday than the later time
on saturday in case they restock.
And then that's when you saidpick sunday in case there's a
daily pin.
I'm like I'm already on it, notfor that reason, but I'm
already on it right.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Yeah, it was very disorganized because I picked
two times.
I picked two times when I, whenI got in Saturday morning, was
still available and I picked 11o'clock and then clicked add to
cart and it was like, sorry,sold out.
So then I had to go backthrough it again and by the time
I got back through it it was 12o'clock and they did the same
thing and it was like, oh, sorry, sold out.
So then I was like, okay, I'mgoing to go like two.

(01:14:37):
That's why I ended up with 130,because I'm like I'm not going
to pick the top one becauseeverybody's picking the top one
and then it went through.
But I was just like that'sstupid, Like why, even if you
have people that have it intheir cart, then get it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
I've always said that , even with not Comic-Con, with
Funko, when they were morepopular, it's if the moment you
add it to your cart you take itout of inventory and then that
way it's guaranteed once you goto the queue and if you change
your mind afterwards and it goesback out in inventory, but the
moment you add it to your cart,dude pull it from the inventory.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
It's not that hard of software but I'll also say that
the way that comic that sandiego did the queues would have
worked way better than whatcelebration did, where you put
everybody into one.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
You just got a button .

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
Well, you got a bunch of you got 10 tickets and you
got to pick which time and whichday you wanted to go, and then
a week later they went throughand just boom the lottery.
I think that would have wentyou like the lottery better than
than trying to do the madscramble and trying to get into
the.
Yeah, I would, I would have.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
I like that a lot better, because then at least
you could say okay, I'm gonnaput six tickets on friday at 10
am, where everybody else isdoing six tickets, but then you
can say okay, I'm gonna dosaturday, two on saturday, two
on sunday is my backup plan yeah, like, then at least you're
getting something in the morning, or if you want to do afternoon
whatever, like and then here'sthe here's the other dumb thing
this this all happened Thursday,right For the lane reservation,

(01:16:03):
and they couldn't just wait twodays, since the next day the
schedule came out, and then onSaturday maybe, do this.
So, people know.
If it's like, oh wait, I wantto go to this panel, I'm going
to go to that panel.
Therefore, I'm going to make alane reservation for this other
date and time.
It's like y'all couldn't waittwo freaking days to do this.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
It's like so stupid, that part was dumb I agree, but
you know what I've made youtube?
Because when we get back fromjapan I'll just watch it all
over again on youtube.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
Anyways, yeah, if they hopefully they put them up
they are.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
I'm not gonna.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not.
I'm not even gonna be fightingover any kind of panels just
because of that.
It's like dude, they're all,they're always online.
Is the experience fantastic?
Yes, and if I can get into someshit, I'm going to try, but I'm
not gonna worry about it if Idon't.
It's like all right, I'm gonnawalk the floor again.
I'm gonna go check out theexhibit.
I'm gonna go wait in the storeline if I feel like, I mean,
there's plenty enough that I'mnot worried about it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
Yeah, yeah I mean, I'll go in the first hour of
Andor in one of the overflowrooms, but I'm not going to sit
there and watch the episodes,I'll dip because I'm like, okay,
I'm going to wait and watchthis shit with you guys, unless
we decide to stick and watch, ifwe make that call to stay and
do whatever.
I'm using Andor as an example.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
Bottom line we're going to find out.
We're going to find out a lotof shit.
Yep and Jax right.
Every time I go to the Facebookpage or whatever it's like,
there are a lot of rookies onhere.
They don't get it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:31):
They don't know nothing about nothing, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
They just don't get it.
Mm-mm, that's all right.
When it comes to thecelebration part is going to be
the same because it's ran by thesame people.
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
Cons is cons.
They're all run the sameanyways.
Yep, no matter how you look atit, the only thing that's going
to be different is how theyqueue, because it's Japan and
you've got to read the wholesign.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
Yeah, you can't just read the first two lines and be
good.
I've got all three translationapps on my phone now.
Everybody's going to be walkingaround with their phone just
scanning all the signs, youwould think they will have them
in English as well.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
Yeah, they, I'm, I, they for sure, yeah, but just
still people are going to belike tens of people to Google
glasses on, just like, hey,what's going?

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
on.
Yeah, they're going to be thedude, the Europeans who don't
know English or Japanese or someother country.
You know those ones.
I could see a Brazilian whodoesn't know English or Japanese
or whatever.
That would be interesting towatch those fuckers walk around.

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
That's when they catch them bows so I can get in
front of them.
Yep, get my lute on, move bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
