The countdown to San Diego Comic-Con has begun! In this pre-convention episode, we dive into the final preparations and strategies that make navigating the pop culture phenomenon manageable and enjoyable.

As we frantically pack our suitcases—"I have the pants, underwear and socks packed, zero shirts"—we share our methodical approach to Comic-Con preparation. Our conversation explores the delicate balance between bringing comfortable t-shirts versus nicer "Roosevelt shirts" that might suffer from backpack damage during long convention days.

The landscape of celebrity autographs has transformed dramatically over the years. We reminisce about simpler times when meeting celebrities didn't involve complex lottery systems and discuss the infamous "Comic-Con tax"—why the same signature costs significantly more at SDCC than at smaller conventions. For Funko Pop collectors, we offer strategic advice on protecting those precious signed pieces and navigating the increasingly competitive exclusive market.

Budget management emerges as a crucial theme throughout our discussion. We confess to becoming noticeably more frugal in the days leading up to Comic-Con: "It's so funny how I caught myself just being cheap the last 10 days." This pre-convention austerity allows for guilt-free spending when surrounded by tempting exclusives and limited-edition merchandise.

Whether you're a Comic-Con veteran or planning your first visit, our practical tips on transportation logistics, food planning, badge acquisition, and booth navigation will help you maximize your convention experience. Most importantly, we capture the unique camaraderie that makes Comic-Con special—the shared excitement, frustrations, and triumphs that bond attendees together in pursuit of pop culture treasures.

Join us for this informative and entertaining guide to surviving and thriving at the ultimate geek gathering!

In the casita I have myComic-Con lanyards.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
And Winnie the.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Pooh that I'm getting autographed for the little one.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh, that's cool.
Wait, winnie the Pooh, what?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Funko Pop.
Who's going to be there?
Remember when we went to Funkolast year in Hollywood?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
And we bought all that shit and they gave us a
free Winnie the Pooh.
Yeah, who's signing?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Winnie the Pooh son Hondo Jim Cummings.
You didn't know, hondo wasWinnie the Pooh, no.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I thought Freaking Optimus was Winnie the Pooh.
Maybe he's Eeyoreoh, maybe he'sEeyore yes, he does, I know he
does something.
That's why I'm all like I'mthinking Optimus, over there,
you got the wrong, okay, nevermind.
Yeah, that's right.
I remember when I met him atthe Denver Con two years ago.
Dude was awesome, absolutelythrilled.

(03:42):
That's cool, wait.
So is he going to seven bucks apop or something?
Dude was awesome, absolutely.
That's real, that's cool, wait.
So is he going to $7 a pop orsomething?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
No, he's at some other booth.
I'm not overly happy with hisprice, but taking little one to
meet Winnie the Pooh worth it?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
What's his price, honey, good Lord, okay, yeah, no
, he ain't worth that.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
that I mean he has Winnie the Pooh, but he ain't
worth that 80 bucks.
It's definitely Comic Con tax.
If he was going to Fan Expo, Idon't think I paid him for that
much when I got my Hondo Popsigned.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, I was going to say Is that 100 bucks on a Pop?
Because you know they chargemore on Pops.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
It just said he's a honey, no matter what.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Okay, all right, Then it probably is that tax Jesus.
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, it's Comic-Con tax for sure.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Uh-huh, I miss the days of you know Sales Civilian,
just having a random folks upthere, right.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I know.
I was going through that.
I'm like, oh, cool, cool, maybeI can get like a random.
You know, catch up on mysomething.
Celebration passes, right, yeah, uh, the girl that plays phasma
and resistance is there, but Idon't.
I already have a phasma passsign.
I don't have any others.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
They never made any more, so okay, womp, womp yeah,
but the days of freakingmichelle nichols just chilling
up there every year for like 10straight years or whatever.
I know it wasn't a big list ofpeople, but it was still a cool
list.
It was nice to me.
I remember getting our alienssigned a little girl mm-hmm, and

(05:14):
it was like in those days isgone.
It's like you want to autograph?
Okay, win this lottery or be apart of this downstairs or be
where I was like no man, yeah,man Go get a wristband and this
and that.
No man, Get some cheap folks upthere and just let them sit
around all day.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
If they have enough fans that it was fine.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
it's like we don't have the space F y'all, it's
Funko Pops that made all theautographs go out.
Now autographs are popular.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
That is true, though.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Everybody wants a pop sign.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Two more years and it's going to be Thrilljoy
taking over.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Right, although I did rearrange the room a bit, oh

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Oh wait, change the angle.
You got a little glare on thesignature itself.
There we go Right there, rightthere, hold it right there.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, doc, holliday Target exclusive Signed by the
man.
The day Target exclusive Signedby the man.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
That's a good looking one, though I like that blue on
that too.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I wasn't sure I was going to like that blue.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I was like, okay, that actually looks pretty damn
good.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I know he should probably be in a hard case.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Probably actually, I was actually.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Because we're getting the crown molding done.
So I'm going through trying toclean up in here so that they
can actually do it and I finallyfound more dental work crown
molding all the crowns and Ifound this Funko box not even
open.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm like huh, you got a sealed box of Funko and it
was my Jason Kelsey pops.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
No way, I'm like they came in a hard case.
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I wouldn't have guessed that either.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Jason Kelsey's not worth a hard case.
No, he's not, he's coming rightout.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yep, for Doc to take your spot.
Yeah, yeah, that is crazy.
Go ahead, Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I know there were special pops.

Speaker 3 (07:15):

Okay, it was like yeah, it wascool all that, but come on.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
But he's not a hard case pop.
There's no way.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, first of all, he's an eagle, so certainly not.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Come on now.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Congratulations.

Now they have half as many asthe Giants.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Good job A third as many as the Steelers He'll get
there eventually.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm rooting for you.
Participation ribbon, go for it.
Well, I was going to go back tothe other subject.
It was like, literally, there'sa suitcase on my bed right now
and it's got all the pants I'mwearing, the underwear and socks
that I'm bringing, zero shirtsyeah, he doesn't know what to
bring man.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
I'll probably do it real quick afterwards.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh, me too, Because we're leaving in the morning and
I mean, eh, he doesn't knowwhat to bring man, I'll probably
do it real quick afterwards.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh, me too.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Because we're leaving in the morning, and I mean
whatever.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, the girls have not started packing at all.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh well, okay, so you'll leave around noon
tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Probably.
I was told 10, so we'll seewhat happens.
Okay, one now.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, on the bright side, I mean, you do have the
rest of the day Monday and allday Tuesday, so it's not like
there's any kind of rushwhatsoever.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
And again we're not going to some third world
country.
They got Target in Anaheim andSan Diego.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, yeah, it's just so funny.
I was just telling a girl thatit was like if you don't go pick
up your case of Frappuccinothingies from Starbucks to cold
bottles I take every morning,we'll get it in Vegas Not a big
deal.
I mean there's Sam's Club.
There's going to be Sam's Club,our whole drive.
We're driving four freakingstates.
We'll be fine.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
That's why I don't even worry about it.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, no the hardest choice is which Roosevelt's am I
bringing?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
You know what?
I think that was her hardestchoice too.
I'm looking at, I'm looking,I'm all thinking I want t-shirts
.
I don't want, because if Ibring my Roosevelt's I have to
bring undershirts.
This is true.
I don't want to bring as many,so I'll at least have one for
Saturday, for Chewbacca sun, soI'll at least have that one, but
and I probably bring an extraundershirt just in case but
overall I'll probably stillstick with my t-shirts.

(09:24):
Plus it's the whole.
I really I don't know, maybeI'm tripping out in my own head
I'm nervous about Because I didit at Denver Comic Con, but I'm
more nervous about the backpack,just rubbing against the damn.
Roosevelt all day.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
So it's like Thankfully, I've only had one
shirt have any kind of issuewith that, and that was the uh
the McCoy Yoda from a couple ofyears back.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Got the SDCC one.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, wow.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
So yeah, so that went .
So it's like I like myRoosevelt's, but I don't know if
I want to risk.
Like I said I did it.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
You're not wrong.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
And it's like, uh, like I said, I did it for the
Chewbacca sign, so I'm prettysure I'm going to go with the
t-shirt method and I'll have, ifanything, I'll do the like my
jersey, that I got that Dodgersjersey, seth Kwan or something
like that.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, they did okay at Celebration, though right
Same thing.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
They did when all said and done.
Even Denver, you know it, itdid okay and I think it'll be
fine because not like we'rerunning around, there's not a
whole lot of movement with itexactly.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
It's just in my head.
It's all it is.
It's walk fast, stand in line,walk fast exactly, I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I'm sure it's in my head.
It's just like the wholechiropractor thing with all my
back issues, my neck issues, gosee a chiropractor.
It's like no, they'll kill me.
That's what's in my head I'llbe paralyzed and then, yeah,
exactly, and then, and then thathappened.
You know, that's that, um,what's that phrase where where's
one, one example happens?
Um, so it's like that wholetruth.
Oh see, uh, there's a phrasefor it either way.

(10:57):
Uh, I saw like last month, twomonths ago, there was some dude
who's paralyzed because he wentand got a massage or a chiro.
Uh, it was a chiropractor andhe got paralyzed and I was like
see, told you, I know it was onein 437 million but it happened.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Uh, that could be me.
I'm so lucky.
Exactly All the lotteries forcomic-con is crazy.
I'm a lucky person.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I'll be that one.
The point is the percentagechance is not zero.
This is true.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Chances are low, but they're never zero.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Chances are low.
But not involved, not involved,well, y'all.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
So so yeah, I mean look, you got over your fear of
Dennis this year.
We can think about chiropractornext year.
So Baby steps one at a time.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
One after one year, we'll wait a decade.
Man, let's spread it out a bit.
Trying to rush some shit, do itnext year.
You know how soon next year is,that's fast like five months
from now, that dentist was twomonths ago.
Son, I'm already freaking 16%into that year.
Uh, uh, wow, that's fast math.
I am a nerd.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Right.
Yeah nobody's ever donepercentage of the year before.
Yeah right, I'm going to goover it.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I'm like that's two months out of 12.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
There's half a year, there's a quarter of a year,
that's it.
There's no such thing as 16% ofthe year.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
One tick 16.67.
Oh my god, I ain't gonna lie.
I'm curious what Duke's doing.
I don't want to bug him and askhim, but I'm curious, like dude
, what are you doing?
If he knew and I'm sure he knewthat this was happening, that's
okay.
But now I want to know he'slike fuck, what fun are you

(12:45):
having that?
I missed what's more importantthan us.
Nothing, right, exactly Justnothing.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
That's why we've been doing this religiously for over
a year.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
A year and five months, good Lord.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
A year and 16%.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Well, I mean not really, that's close to like 42%
, but whatever, like 41.37 orsomething, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, next month.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Oh my God, yeah, wait until you get to next month,
then you have your even number.
So then it counts, or does itcount?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I don't know It'll be 18 months, yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Oh my God, I just checked it.

different kind of crackers.
You don't even like Comic-Con.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I'm not worried about it at all, I think I might have
been.
Oh, why am I dark?
I didn't turn the light on.
I have the light sitting on topof the computer and didn't turn
it on.
I'm like, what is this roundthing over here on top of this?

I dropped what 22, 23 hundred at Celebration store
and like 60 bucks at San Diegostore.
Like I needed a pop and threepins and this year, not even
that, there's really anything onthe list.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
No, they don't have pins or nothing.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
There's not a whole lot that I want this year.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Those shirts need to convince me in person.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, that's exactly it.
I'll have to show up see whatthey got, and even then, after
what I've seen the last coupleof years, I'll wait till next
year when the shit's on sale.
It's just like not even.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, I think they usually do like a Black Friday
sale, so yeah, yeah, every time.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
So it's like if I find something like I got that
jersey two years ago for O'Girlsfirst con and next year later
it's like 60% off, I'm like getout of here with that crap.
Like.
You know what, if I seesomething, I like I'll wait If
it sells out, no big deal,because we know the rules.
If there's something weactually want, we're going to
buy it right there, yep.
There is no hey, let me thinkabout this.

(20:36):
Let me come back.
No, if I want it, I've acceptedthat, I'm okay, but it's gone
when I come back.
Exactly that's how it's alwaysbeen.
This is not news for our world.

Speaker 1 (20:51):

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Action is the juice.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
But yeah, dude, that would have been a badass pop to
get signed.
If they made heat pops, you'dhave Val to sign that one.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Especially if he's got the gun with the backpack of
money over his shoulder.
How awesome would that be,although I don't know.
Would they let him get awaywith it with a machine gun like
that?
Would Funko make the pop?
Is what I'm getting at.
Would Funko make the pop?
Is what I'm getting at.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Look the Doc Hollidays do have a gun, that is
true.
The Mortal Kombat ones arecoming out with blood all over
them, so I don't think they careShit.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
They make Cocaine Bear Superman has a bag of drugs
, so cool.

Speaker 2 (21:39):

the computer, on the Xbox, justkind of chilling, and then I
don't know what happened, but Iwas like I knew I was going to

It was my discussion thread.
Did you see it where I wasasking about ebay versus okay,
so I threw in a oh yeah, I did.

if they just do it like 1099sfrom ebay?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
yeah, I saw that, uh, that got removed yesterday.
Uh, really no reason.
Uh, I asked for a reason.
They did not respond to mymessage and I was like all right
, whatever, uh, but I, I askedabout it in the discussion
thread, uh, so they could see itinstead of a private message,
and they put me on the wholemessage pending for clearance.

(25:22):
So now everything, everything Iput in there, it's going to get
checked.
I'm like I don't care, I'll justsell on eBay.
Then it's like I'm going tomake the same amount of money
whether I put it on eBay or putit in the group, so fine,
whatever.

fucking uh thunderbolts.

(32:47):
She's very obsessed with sentryand void, so I'm like, what
about the cucumber?
She's like you remember at thebeginning, when they were
climbing up and they had tosneeze, you say cucumber, so you
don't sneeze, all right.
And then her thumb has thesentry logo on it.
I'm like if I had seen that,I'd know what it was right away
like man deep, but no, it's.
Yeah, she is very obsessed withthat character.
I'm like are you crushing onLewis Pullman or something?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
She's like no, Maybe she's just appreciating the
mental aspect of that top partof the movie.
Maybe Her generation would beokay with that.
Yeah, because I guarantee myniece would appreciate that
character as well and how theyhandled it.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
So yeah, go for it, I could see it, I could then her
century.
And uh, elena pops came todaytoo, so she was happy about that
I don't know, were there somenew ones?
Yeah, they made thunderbolt.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, but are they new, Like are they exclusive?

Speaker 1 (33:44):
She never asked me for them, so I never bought them
.
Oh okay, until recently.
I'm like okay, gotcha, whatever.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I'm like where did this come out?

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Let me refill my Funko points from buying that
Predator.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, 750 points Return Right.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
And after that we went by the old house because I
wanted to steal the uh motion uhporch light, because I didn't
sell that yet put on the newhouse.
I did that, took some more shitout of the garage.
Um, came home, cleaned the catboxes.
Little one actually wanted tohelp.
She's over there with a littleshovel.
She's like oh, make this one ofmy chores.
I'm like done Right.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
You don't have to ask me twice, for real, big enough
cat box, you'll fit in it as ahouse anyway.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Right For real Well, she wanted to do the automatic
one.
I'm like I'll take care of thatone.
So she does that because theold cat doesn't use the new one,
the take care of that one.
So she does the because the oldcat doesn't use the, the new
one, the fancy one, yeah.
So, whatever, you want to scooppoop once a week because, uh, I
, I signed them up on the.

(34:54):
Uh, it's this app called greenlight where they get like their
own, like debit cards and shityeah, so if they do their chores
they get their allowance or apercentage of said allowance.
If they do all their chores orsome of their chores, so it
automatically get theirallowance or a percentage of
said allowance.
If they do all their chores orsome of their chores, so it
automatically reduces theirallowance if they don't do their
chores it's kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
So is that determined by you?

Speaker 1 (35:14):
yes, like you have to go in and okay, okay well, I
mean, it's automatic, like I'mlike, this is what their
allowance is, this is what theirchores are, and then no, but
who puts in that they did them?

Speaker 3 (35:25):
though they can.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
They can.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Well, they can lie about it though.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
But I can check it and uncheck it.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Okay, that's what I'm all like.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Come on Al, that's cheating yeah, no, like
sometimes a big one won't.
Uh, on saturdays I think she'ssupposed to feed and water the
cats.
Sometimes she doesn't do it.
Well, I guess you're notgetting all your lands home,
girl, and she wants to save itfor a century hot toys that they
haven't even announced yet butit'll happen?

(35:55):
I'm sure it will yeah, there'sno doubt.
No, no, I just came out herefarting around trying to.
If the crown molding guys saythat all my stuff's blocking
them from doing what they got todo, then I guess I have to
start putting my shit in thecases again, darn somebody
actually is forced to get shitdone, right, but do you have the

(36:16):
sliders so you can move shitout against the wall, from
against the the wall?

Speaker 2 (36:20):

end of the show, it was Onceeverything was selling out and
all they had was keychains andshit that nobody cared about.
Then it was short.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
I don't think I bothered at all there.

I couldn't tell you what it was, but I remember getting in line
and yeah, what the hell.
Man XY was with me at thatpoint, so that tells you how

(38:58):
long ago it was.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
Yup, and then Hasbro wasn't even in the lottery this
year.

Speaker 2 (39:04):

Hasbro was such an easy walk-uplast year, though, and I don't
know if I have much to get fromthem, unless they have that
Skyfire that was announcedearlier.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah, like I said, I want to get the Dreadnoughts
band and Anakin and Obi-Wan.

getting it to flip it Becauseit's going for double.
So it's like, all right, Dangall right, but it's big.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
It's like doing one of the five.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
I mean I know I got the car and drive shit back, but
still you got to ship it.
I'd rather go find some couplecomic books and turn those.
That is way easier, although Ishould do okay with Tamashii
Nation.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Really you wouldn't get that.
Even though it's Darth Vader,you just wouldn't get it.

Speaker 2 (39:47):

When I walked by, they got the spiders on them.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Yep, and I was like great thanks for ruining the box

But whatever it is, what it iscan't be helped, yeah, whatever

whooping some asses no, that wasthe other thing.
walk into the you know I don'tknow if any of the vegas ones

(41:16):

that that open up for securitypurposes.
You can only go in, not out.
Two people after I walked in,two people within five seconds
walked out and the alarm wentoff and they just kept on going.
Security person is standingright there and just looks at
him and just turns away Likewhat's the point then if you're

(41:39):
not going to do your job?
It's like whatever.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
That's why I couldn't own a business.
I'd be whooping ass if somebodydid that Yep.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
It's like look, I'm hiring you for security, I need
you to secure some shit.
Do your job.
If you don't, you're fired, nothard.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Put some hands on people.
I don't give a fuck For real, Iget it.
Yep, put some hands on peopleand give a fuck For real Shit.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Look for real.
I get it.
I can't use that for capitalpunishment, but I'd like to.
But that's okay, right.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Well, it's like before the pot.
I saw this video of these gangof teenagers like jumped the
concession stand at a movietheater and just started taking
all the sodas and shit.
Nobody did nothing.
What See Like Hells?
No.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Wait, how do you take ?

Speaker 1 (42:25):
soda.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Oh, bottled soda.
I'm like, how do you take Maybe?
They have bottles.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot.
They have bottles still in someplaces, especially water.
They almost all have.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Mm-hmm, you're about to spend just as much on your
tickets on concessions forfantastic four.
That shit was expensive lastyear.
Shit for real though I'm goingto make sure I drink before,
cause you know we we even wentand ate and drank before the
movie and still remember thatwe're up in the food court area.

(42:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Oh my God, I think we all got panders from shit.
It was like the Italian place.
I can't remember what it was.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
I think we all got pizza or something.
It was like pizza.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
It was the Italian spot up there, but we all yeah,
and then?
Still concessions?
Yeah, because I had alreadyseen it, so not popcorn M&M's.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
It was M&M's, you had to get M&M's for it.
Yeah, I went back.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
I forgot the M&M's.
I was like, well, I've alreadyseen the movie, so I'm okay
leaving and missing that firstfew minutes, no big deal.
But yeah, I will bring my ownM&M's or whatever I have to.
I am paying shit for theirconcessions.
Fuck that right now.
I'll drink.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
When I get back, we'll eat again maybe.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
No, I can't, I got I because you had a panel.
I thought, uh, and so do I, youhave.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
You had one that was like yeah, I mean seven and my,
uh, the legal head panel.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
I think, yeah, that was yours and like 6, 30, 7, 30,
something like that, and thenmine the legal one the legal one
is 6 to 7.
So 6 to 7 for an 8.30, 8.40movie should be okay.
It should be able to get therean hour before the movie starts,
plus the 30 minutes of trailersthey're going to have for
bullshit, so there'll still beplenty of time to eat.

(44:18):
Well, yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
AMC, so it's another hour of commercials.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Uh-huh, so I'm not even sweating.
I'm not even sweating that itwas like movie starts at 840.
I'm like we need to get ourseats at 9.
We're fine.
And then my confrontational askwe hope somebody's sitting in
my seat, bro man, don't getwrong, I'll be nice at first.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
At first.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
At first I was like hey, I paid for this seat, but
you got our seats.
Man, I need you to move.
You want to start some shit.
I'm like, all right, here we goNow.
Now.
Now I can flip a switch.
I'll be nice once it's like youcan move or I can move you.
I'm going to be late Cranking.

(45:03):
Yeah, they didn't eat enoughtoday.
Now we have just eaten so, butI would've been full and mad.
They got to do work that I'mfull.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
I got the itis trying to kick in.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Right, like bro.
No, you did not pay for theseseats.
Now you want to pay for myseats.
I'll sit.
So what seats did you get?
Pay me twice as much and I'llmove.
I'll happily take your cash andgo pick a different seat.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
I'll sit up front, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yep, I'm pretty sure it won't be the only time I'll
watch a movie.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
I'll take your money and go pay for to watch it
somewhere else at a better seat.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Right, and still have money for concessions Yep, and
still have money for concessions, yep.
Oh, my God, shit.
As soon as I get back Monday,like okay, tuesday, fantastic
Four, 3 pm, okay, I'm going towatch that, watch that shit for
five and a quarter man.
But yeah, I think I'm good togo.

(45:57):
It's like not really you knowwhat's funny I was thinking this
morning.
It's.
It's like man, we got to getsicker twice.
That's what was going throughmy head.
Yeah, but hopefully it's adifferent person for real.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Uh, let's see like a million people a day.
We'll be fine on that part,yeah honestly I didn't shave
because of that.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
So I figured on wednesday I'll get one, then
I'll shave, and Thursday I'llget the other one.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
I wasn't made.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Yep, I almost shaved yesterday for Jurassic Park.
I'm like, oh no, I need to lookdifferent.
Oh my god, not even kidding, Iactually thought about that shit
.
But yeah, I was like, oh man,we got to get stickers twice.
But okay, wednesday will beeasy, and then Thursday.
You can always do it Thursdaymorning too.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, first thing, thursday It'll be fine If it
works.
I mean, if we're there earlyenough, I'll do both on
Wednesday.
But you're right, we're thereearly enough on Thursday that it
will.
Yeah, but I don't remember.
I'm not used to doing it onThursday because we usually do
it Wednesday.
Can we get it Wednesday morning, will they?

Speaker 1 (47:06):
let us go in.
I don't know.
I've seen people asking if theycan go Wednesday to get their
child badge and stuff.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
I would assume.
Yes, we've always done it, butwe've always had five, but we've
always had Wednesday.
So I don't know, but I'm prettysure on Thursday we can just go
in yeah, thursday would be fine, you know, freaking 5 in the
morning, 6 in the morning, 7 inthe morning and just go to the A
gate, a door, and go into theADA area and get the stickers,

(47:34):
yeah, but I don't know, not toocrazy, I mean, we don't care too
much.
It's like whatever, yeah, we'llfigure it out.
Yeah, worst case scenario wehave paper.
It's the code that's on theplastic.
I will take my paper out andput in my actual one on Thursday
.
It's like, oh, there's alreadya way around that, because

(47:57):
obviously that badge will workthe whole time.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
No it'll be fine, they're not going to recognize
us?

Speaker 2 (48:04):
I don't think so either I think it'll just be
different people and shit, it'sgoing to be all right.
Which is why I was saying doboth on Wednesday.
If I go Wednesday at 2 and thenlater in the day, before they
open at 6, it's like oh, there'ssomebody else new out there,
now, let me grab my other one.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Not catch them at the end of the night, when they're
busy trying to get out of there?

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Like, hey, can I get this real quick for the morning?
Oh, that's actually you knowwhat Good call.
That's actually way better.
That's actually better Becausewe're already being inside.
Just switch them off, take offthe one, put on the other and
say, hey, I'm just trying to getmy sticker for tomorrow.
Yeah, I like that, I like that.
Okay, that's a plan.
And then, honestly, wednesday'sshop it'll be like I was saying

(48:52):
it'll be five booths that havetickets.
I'm going to all five onWednesday to get the tickets
Figpin, hallmark and ThreeRoosevelt.
I can't think of anything elsethat had tickets.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
No, I don't think so.
And then at 8, I have and then,while we're waiting, go around
get BB Create or something.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Get BB Create, get Symbiote for my plushies
Although I might say that in thenight, so I have to carry them
until it's time to leave.
But the little boost that Dukewas talking about the little
stickers basically N12.
Everybody knows N12's oneverybody's list.
But yeah, stickers, All thelittle stuff May go knock all

(49:35):
that stuff off while waiting forour time slot.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
So I'm not kidding.
You can buy a shirt every day,just whatever your daily shirts
are at Roosevelt, just buy them.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Yeah, that is the plan.
They're all good enough thatsomebody is going to want it, so
I'll get it.
And then again, I'm curious ifthey're going to let you do the
day before shirts unlimited,because if so, I want to know
how many star wars floral shirtsthey have and what sizes, and I
will, uh, buy them all yep theycome in boxes, right, just give

(50:09):
it here, right, how much?
is how many?
How many in your box?
Just give me a box of xls.
Yeah, um, sir, there are 30shirts per box.
I'm like, so you're sayingthree grand, right?
So you're saying just underthree grand?
No, no problem.
There, you go Yep yep 30 shirts.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Jack, I need the keys to the car so I can go to the
Hilton.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Right.
So what I heard was $2,400.
Okay, that's what I heard.
You take Visa right.
Like Wayne's World, is cashgood here dude, no shit, you
know how it is these days it wasso funny I was.

(50:50):
I was like, just just, I thinkit was friday.
I was like, oh, I gotta get,because friday was payday.
Also, I was like I'm gonna getcash for comic-con.
I'm like, oh wait, actually Idon't nobody's's going to
fucking take it.
It's like, what's the point ofgetting cash?
It's not accepted.
I'll probably still have acouple hundred, but not the way
I used to they have $1,500 on me.

(51:11):
Nope, nope, you're going to gohome with $1,400.
Yep, come Saturday I'm likeI'll be back.
I gotta go make a deposit atthe bank.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
I still got this $1,200.
I can't be walking around with.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yeah.
So I was like what's the point?
But yeah, I don't think I'llhave more than $300 on me, man.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Seriously, what's the point?
I was thinking that too,because even maybe Artist Alley,
they might.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
That's a good point and they would appreciate the
cash more than exactly losingthe three percent on their fees
anyway, assuming they don'tcharge you back, because most of
them just charge you for itanyway exactly that that
happened in denver a lot.
It was you use your card.
Three percent, two percent.
Three percent, two percent, itwas just whatever something

(51:58):
called the price of doingbusiness.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Sucker shit, mcdonald's ain't charging me for
it.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
You know, and obviously it's legal or people
are doing it, yeah.
But I wonder you know what?
I wonder how many of them wouldlose this, like if that
happened, I was like 3% fee ifyou use card.
I'd go, oh, okay, never mind.
How many of them would say, ohno, I'll waive it for you.
Yeah, that would be a game toplay.
Figure out like do you reallywant to lose $100?

(52:25):
Sale over $3?
Obviously the other argument isdo you really not want to buy
that for $3 more?
So you can go both ways on that.
But I would be curious if it'slike you know, find a hundred
dollar print.
It's like oh, it's threepercent if you pay charge.
I'm like oh okay, well, thankyou, have a good day.
No, no no, that's out of mybudget, sorry well, like no, I

(52:47):
budgeted 100, I didn't budget103 and you know, my anal ass,
that I would do some shit likethat.
I would straight up be like no,I said I was out of budget.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Sorry, I hope somebody else falls for it.
That would be so funny thoughbut I I guess it's like when, um
, people are like oh, I onlytake paypal goods and services,
you need to add on the threepercent if you're going to pay
that way it's more than threepercent.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
But people don't realize that either, because you
have to pay for the percentageof the percentage that you just
added on.
It's actually a different rate.
You're not paying $100?
Oh, it's 3%, 103.
No, it's like 103.30.
You have to add all of that andpeople don't do that I do.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
You would.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Yeah, sure shit, and I do.
I'm on somebody on Facebook,facebook.
They're like oh, I want to doit this way.
Okay, there's a fee for that.
Oh, so it's like 103.
Oh no, it's 333 emphasis on the33 yeah, you're gonna.
You're good, because you gottapay p's on fees and the fees,
lady.
So you ain't.

(53:59):
You ain't trying to get thatover me.
That's a postcard stamp.
It's not even a real stampanymore.
Fucking 78 cents for a stampFor real, though it's gross, but
I get it.
So yeah, I actually was likenah, cash, don't need it.
If I do, I'll just get it thenext day.
It was like, oh, cash for this?

Speaker 1 (54:19):
All right, whatever, unless it's something I have to
have right there and there.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Yeah, unless it's something that's like all right,
if it's not going to sell out,I'll go get cash and come back
later.
Maybe, like I said, some ofthat shit's principle of the
matter.
It's like, man, you got toraise your freaking price to
include the fee, no matter what,and I'll feel better about it,

(54:42):
like the way Japan does.
Mm-hmm, man, why is it so hard?

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Yeah and then if somebody pays cash, well, you
just made extra money to coverthe next credit card Exactly.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
It's like just say 105.
If you just said it was 105, ifyou tell me 105, I'm going to
pay you 105.
If you tell me 100 plus atransaction fee, no sale.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
That's what I would do, because it does.
It sounds bad that way.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
It does.
I would actually pay Like howmuch is this?
$105.
Done Mm-hmm Two booths over 100plus 3% credit card fee.
No, thank you, it's like theeBay meme.
You know how much is this?
$20 plus $5 shipping.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Ooh, screw that.
How much is this one twentyfive dollars free shipping.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Oh hell, yeah, that's where you go, like what you
just paid, the same okay, butyeah, that I I mean well, my ass
is looking that one's this muchplus shipping, that one's this
much with free shipping.
I'm still saying if I pay forshipping yep, yep, I sort it
that whole price lowest plusshipping.
Okay, that way it does all thework for me and I'll pick that

(55:50):
one.
I don't care if you chargeshipping or don't.
I want to know what the overallprice is.
That's all I care about.
Oh man, people are crazy.
Man, if you do anything popculture I know we're Comic-Con
and nothing but pop culture butanything outside of the SDCC
world this week we did last week?

Speaker 1 (56:10):
No, I just been at work all week.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Yeah, makes sense.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Yesterday I was at work yesterday.
What did we do yesterday?
I know we left the house Shit.
What did we do yesterday?
I know we left the house Shit.
What did I do yesterday?
Nothing on the calendar.
We left for the house.
We went to get.
We got paint, because we needpaint for touch-up paint and all
that shit.
Anything fun though.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
It hasn't been a year yet.
You already need touch-up paint.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Well, the crown molding guy will need it too.
Okay, yeah, ain't even been ayear yet, you already touch up
paint.
Well, the crown molding guywill need it too.
So, okay, yeah, um, you got abook of colors.
You got your house thepaperwork.
Okay, yeah, one for the, theregular walls, one for the
glossy walls in the bathroom.
No, I didn't do anything, I wasjust um.
The new robocop game came out,so I've been trying to play that

(57:00):
when we're not doing anything.
Robocop, unfinished Business.
I thought it was just DLC forthe first game, but now it's
like a whole new game.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Oh, okay, that's a sequel.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
It's not a AAA game.
Like you can tell.
It was made by a budget studio,but it's very good.
It's like a single A game andthey got Peter Weller to come in
for the voice acting and shit.
What more do you want?
I think there's one where youget to play as Ed 209, so
that'll be cool.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Unexpectedly cool actually.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
The first one was a really good game, and this one's
just more of the same.
You can shoot the shit out ofeveryone.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Yeah, can't go wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
You can shoot dudes in the balls, just like in the
movie.
I think there was anachievement in the first game
for that too, so so was it anachievement in this one also no
oh, okay, you know but they'redone that this one, you get an
achievement for petting a cat inthe slums euphemism or actual
cat no, an actual cat.

(58:06):
Yeah, there's a cat justsitting in the middle of the
street oh, okay, all right withthis game.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
That could be a euphemism it could be.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Robocop wouldn't do that, though he's an upstanding
citizen I mean he is.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
Does it mean some other side characters aren't
doing it?
Man?
Yeah, no, it's just errands forme.
Yesterday it was knock off,some errands to get ready.
Uh, sam's club for sccc andthen and then jurassic park.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
You know that was no, I actually got in trouble
because we weren't seeing amovie this week.
We're not seeing a movie thisweek.
I'm like there ain't nothing tosee.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Nobody was super excited about smurfs exactly
ain't nothing to see.
Or the other one uh what?
I know what you did last summer.
Ain't nobody trying to watch?
That yeah and I.
My tuesday movie could havebeen 28 years later I I just
wasn't in the mood.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
It was like I don't even want to pay five bucks for
it.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
We're going to see Fantastic Four this week and
then I actually got in for thesecret movie the Monday after
con, so it's either going to beFreaky or Friday, or Bad Guys 2.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
I saw that.
Did you get that emailyesterday?

Speaker 1 (59:13):
No, I got those tickets a couple days ago.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
Okay, I got the email for it yesterday and then I was
like, oh, we'll be driving,Never mind, Can't do that.
But yeah, I saw that.
I was like, oh cool, I likethis Uh oh, I saw it was PG.
I'm like cool, I can take girlsto that they do tell you what
rated it is, so you can get anidea of what's coming up.
It's either Bad Guys 2 orFreaky or Friday.
I was going to say I'm going togo with Bad Guys 2.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Yeah, same, I haven't watched the first one yet.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
I didn't watch the first one.
I didn't watch the first FreakyFriday with those two cast
members.
Honestly no interest.
Although when I was looking onTuesday, if I wanted to go to a
movie, I looked at my status andI'm five visits away from
getting it.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
So close.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Definitely watched a lot of I mean obviously on
Platinum now, but just for nextyear anyway.
And it's so funny how much I'veseen this year, because last
year I needed to do five inDecember.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
I needed to watch five movies in december and I
did but I'm all like it's.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
It's only july and I'm only got five to go.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Oh, we were the hell.
I've been doing all year I didlike 12, 15 tickets or something
in december.
I'm like shit, there's nothingcoming out.
What are we gonna do?
Oh yeah, I think I'm alreadyplatinum, now.
If I'm not, I will be afterMonday.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
You're about to be before August even hits, but by
the time August gets to the endof August, I'm sure I'll have my
five visits by then.
I'm hoping it's a good movie.
So I'll see Fantastic Fouragain, so there's already one
right there, and then whateverelse is coming out for the
summer that I'll that I'll beable to watch through august
yeah, nobody two's coming out soobviously with five movies I'll

(01:01:01):
get there, and I'll get therequickly.
But it was just funny how fast Igot there this year than I did
last year.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Yeah as I remember last year when we saw deadpool
at comic-con, I'm like shit,that's four tickets I'm not
getting for Platinum status.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Mm-hmm, I still haven't done my test either.
If I'm buying two tickets, if Ibuy them separately, does it
count as two different visits?
Uh-huh, I haven't checked thatyet, because that would talk
about.
I'm sure they figure that outand you can't do that.
Yeah, but I still want to tryit, so next time I buy because
it's probably per show timethat's what I was thinking.

(01:01:34):
Yeah, that's exactly what I wasthinking.
If it's probably per show time,oh, so you found a date.
Okay, that still doesn't countyeah, we'll count it towards
your ticket total right right,but not toward the visit total
yeah so what I need to do isfind two showings of the movie
within 20 minutes of each otherfor the commercials, and then
just kind of hope his theater isempty and go over and just go.

(01:01:56):
hey, you're going to watch the440 show, I'm going to watch the
5 o'clock show.
I'll let you know if anybody'snext to me so you can come over,
Because again all thecommercials will be done.
Or then come over to the 440show and screw the 5 o'clock one
.
See if I can work the system.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
I think you'll be the guy that's my seat sir.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
For sure.
No, I'll just take one seat.
She can sit on my lap, talkabout whatever pops up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
I don't need the popcorn trick anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
No, I just got a zipper and she's wearing a dress
.
Call it a day.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
You could have let her sit next to me, but no, you
want to be a dick about yourseat Right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Yeah, mile high club in the theater, although I guess
I am a mile up, so every time Ido it it's a mile high club.
I'm sure that counts.
That totally counts, totally.
Yeah, the girl's all excited.
Yet yeah, I'll take the oldgirl here, she's ready to do her

(01:02:57):
thing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
We have cultured that woman too much.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Lou Dude and too fast that learning curve?
Just like no, no, no, just feedme.
It's like watching the Matrixand Neo's all like just more.
She's just in the Matrix andNeo's all like it's more he's in
the chair, whoa.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
I'm a geek now Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Oh man, the celebration's going to blow her
mind.
Oh man, for real, for real,lord, have mercy and all the
cuteness, jawas and Ewoks andGrogu, everywhere by then the
Loathballs, the Loathath kittenswill be there.
Oh my god, the little kittenswill be around too.
She, she's done for man, she isso done for but yeah, so,

(01:03:38):
anyway.
So she's good to go.
How are the girls?

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
they are oldest.
One really loves comic.
I think it's her favorite thingof the year.
So little one you know her.
She just cares about shopping.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
That is true.
What can you get me?
Buy me this, buy me that, takea picture with somebody in a
costume and buy me this.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
Yeah, I think she'll have more fun once we're there.
But yeah, I think Big One'slooking forward to it.
I'm kind of bummed.
There's not a lot of falloutfor her, but she'll find
something to it.
I'm kind of bummed.
There's not a lot of Falloutfor her, but why?
She'll find something to do.
No, she's not super intoComic-Con that much.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Hasn't been in a while.
It's been a long year, a lot ofyears since, yeah.
I remember a stroller beingaround the last time she was
really.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
She was super excited about something.
Yeah, Mm-hmm.
You super excited aboutsomething.
Yeah, you know, holly's justsuch a bitch anymore and like
that's her thing, right, likethe big movies well, sort of
because she can just get thebracelet.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
That's true if she doesn't care where she sits,
just get the bracelet the nightbefore and make sure you're back
by 7 am, 8 am, 9, whatever thetime frame is, and then if she's
long, she doesn't care aboutthe seat, she's at least
guaranteed in.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
That's all she cares about right, just get in so she
really wants, you can just dothat but she's kind of like you,
she won't even look at theschedule until she's there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
So yeah, yeah, uh, I may look at it when we switch
drivers.
I may look at it then andthat's a maybe.
I still honestly don't havemuch interest in looking at the
schedule yet.
I know it's just going toirritate me on how it's, that
freaking grid.
I say it every year for likeeight years now.
Put that up, put that grid up,and I would feel a whole lot

(01:05:22):
better about it.
I would even print it.
That's what I'm saying.
Put it up there, I would, Iwould print it and I would go to
my office office, use a 11 by17 paper, print that thing on
there so I can just and I'dprint it.
What all four days, five days,yeah, four days.
I would print one for each dayand I would do that.
But it's like, why is it sohard to just to put that thing

(01:05:44):
up digitally?

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
I don't get it so I want you to go.
You want the good shit, yougotta show up I am gonna go.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
That's the thing.
I'm still going to be there,Nothing's going to change.
It's just just make it easy forme, Because looking at that on
the computer or on the app it is, I can't.
It's hard for me to read thatit is.
Now.
Once I get it, it'll be fine,Because then I can just go in
the app and look up specificallystuff and then add it to my
schedule.
Yeah, yeah, I'll add it,favorite it and add it to my

(01:06:13):
schedule.
I'm good to go there.
God dog man, Getting there it'slike nope, this will be a
Wednesday.
Waiting in line to get intoshop and I'll have my Sharpie
circling all the shit on thegrid and then transferring
everything over or the night.
You know how it is.
Get back to the room around 10o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Decompressing, and then you're up till midnight.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
Yeah, exactly, doing exactly that Take a shower, do
whatever, go to In-N-Out.

Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
Maybe the line's not long.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
I was going to say, except for the line, Although
with mobile ordering nowadaysthat really helps a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
I just want to walk in, grab my shit and go, and
it's been years since I've beenin and out, ever since Colorado
got one, so it's like now Idon't go anymore.
Because you can, yeah, exactly,and because I can, I haven't In
like three years.
I think three years last time Ihad in and out, so it depends

(01:07:13):
on how it goes.
I think three years last time Ihad In-N-Out, so it depends on
how it goes, like I may saveIn-N-Out for, I don't know,
Vegas, for example.
That might be dinner Tuesdaynight.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
So is there one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Centennial, that's the closest one, okay, and it's
right next to Raising Cane's, sothere's options.
I can go to In-N-Out Burgersand Raising Cane's Fries I can
go to In-N-Out Burgers andRaising Cane Fries.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
Yep, exactly Get that Texas toast.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Yeah, that's actually not bad.
I'll consider that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
Those lines all suck too.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
I was going to say.
I remember that, though.
I remember I got in theIn-N-Out line and whoever I was
with ended up going to RaisingCane's while I was in the
In-N-Out line so they couldorder that they didn't jump back
in line with me when I waspaying.
That's how long it took.
I was paying in and out, so itwas like there's a way to do it,
but damn, this worked.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
Why does it?

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
have to be work.
They're supposed to put aCane's over here by the Smiths,
but they did Taco Bell instead.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
Oh, I heard about that.
They got rid of it Really.
It went to Taco Bell, that'sterrible, that's terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Yeah, that was stupid .

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Don't know if I want a Taco.
Bell 10 was the way to go.
Okay, y'all, I know we're kindof boring, we're just kind of
talking concert and our plansand everything.
That's okay, it'll be fine,you're going to be okay.
You're going to ride this withus, because the next week, if
we're back in time, then y'allget to hear all the setup oh,

(01:08:30):
did they actually do this?
Did they actually do that?
Did they actually see?
Then you get to learn all thestuff they did.
Did you do that?
So there's going to be a quizafterwards to see like which
stuff did we actually see, well,our challenges are different.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
This year we don't have badges for every day,
technically, yeah, whereas lastyear we weren't all at the same
hotel, so that was weird, but wedid have con parking.
This year we don't have conparking.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Two different lots even.
You can leave at differenttimes.
You're over there at the Hiltonand.
I'm by Petco.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
That could work out.
Yeah, it could.
It'll be, especially the senseof if people whoever doesn't
want to come early we've got twoparking spots.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
That doesn't want to come early we got two parking
spots at all.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Yeah, come when you want to come yeah and if anybody
wants to leave early, no bigdeal we have a second car there
so yeah, yeah, uh, it's fouro'clock.
I want to leave.
Okay, then leave like I mean.
Granted, there's the civilsystem, so there's always, there
was always that, yeah, there'salways options.

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
But well, yeah that's cool, because then I mean we
can go screw off at petco maybe,and then your car's right there
, we don't have to yep, we'reabout backtrack or anything it's
like it's like hey, let's gosee what's going on over here

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
I went to the masquerade ball the side side
room, really.
How was it?
Oh great, I'm hitched now.

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
Well, my best friend took my girlfriend to the party,
so oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
So my best friend, the CEO of this one company, and
then my girl, was HR and herewe are.
This is how it goes sometimes.
Oh my God, that whole story,man.
It's like I get it.
People are having fun, that'slike, but mind your business, I
know, I'm on both sides of it.
It's like you're, you're an ass, you shouldn't be doing this.

(01:11:20):
And the other side is like okay, it happened.
Everyone doesn't have to blowit all up out of proportion.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
They wouldn't have if they had just committed to that
shit Like, oh yeah, we on thecamera, kissy, kissy, move on,
and nobody posts that shit onthe internet.
You act a fool.
That's why it got posted.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
They're wondering yeah, because they're wondering
why you acted a fool Exactly.
And then boom, internet sleuthsdid their thing and shit.
Internet's on the TV.
Now you need to watch your joband your wife.
Yeah Well, I don't know.
He may not have lost his wife.
We don't know that story yet.
You know how people are, youknow how people are they go back
to stuff?
What if there's a prenup andshe ain't going to get paid?

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
no, matter what.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Because you could have circumstances like oh,
infidelity First of all.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
you have to prove it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
You don't have any evidence that he fucked her,
just that they were in a gametogether hugging and kissing.
They did have the other videoof them kissing.
There's a lot of factors herewhere she may be like I want to
leave, but I ain't gettingcrapified.
Dude, I was dumb enough or hewas smart enough to make me sign
a prenup.
He resigned so he doesn't havea job anymore.
I imagine the same thing willhappen with HR girl.

(01:12:31):
Haven't heard her story yet.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
If she resigned, I mean she totally violated hr.
She honestly sucks at her job,if you're sleeping with the boss
you're ahead of hr that's.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
You would think that's the case.
But you know, maybe she hassome disability, you know.
You know how people are.
He had to hold her up dude, Isaw I would have played it off
like fell, you caught me rapping.
I was rapping, she fell.
You can't say otherwise.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
I always hold chicks up by their titties.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
Wait, why wouldn't you?
It's like One of the softestspots.
You don't want to hurt themwhile you're holding them up.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
Exactly, there's no tissue damage.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
Right, I'm not trying to bruise her man.
That's a whole other lawsuit.

You're in HR and I brought youto Coldplay.

fired for that shit.
I mean, I guess, if you likeColdplay, sure I ain't gonna lie
, though, as much as I'm alllike man, none of y'all business

Oh, I just thought it was theStar Wars one.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Okay, all right, all right.
Shit the Star Wars one's nevereven the problem, it's the other
one.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
No, it really isn't and isn't, and I did read
earlier in the month that theydo have that the six random ones
, the blind bags.
They're doing that again, soI'm likely to get another blind
bag.
It was cool.
The very least it paid foritself when I resell it.
The extras, so the ones I didn'twant to keep.
So, man, I'm getting pictureright now, as we speak live.

(01:15:30):
I'm getting pics of a girl'sbedroom in her new place and
it's a lot of space in there.
It's like damn, my apartmentwill fit in her bedroom.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
It's crazy, hey baby hold these pops for me for a
little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
That is happening.
I have a pile over here to taketo her basement.
That's not even a joke.
I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 26 boxes
that I'm taking over to herbasement.
Oh, my god, that is so funnybecause, yep, that is absolutely
happening and I get my livingroom kind of back, still, taking

(01:16:06):

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Yeah, you still got that shit behind you too I was
like what stuff?

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Well, the box is by oh yeah, you can see that from

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Shit.
I own it.
I know what it looks like.
What's that other one?
Is that the GameStop?
Sith Vader under him, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
That stuff is definitely yeah, you are yeah,
that stuff is definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
Yeah, you are.
So that's that's the stuffbacked by the black curtain.
Those are just empty boxes, sothat's just like if I need some
shipping box right all that isnow the case itself, the book
case itself.
There's stuff inside there.
Only the top shelf is like mystuff.
Everything else is stuff that'son ebay.
So what'll happen is the baryou can't see on the other side
of me right now there's a wholepile of stuff that's going to go

(01:16:55):
in those spaces once I sell allthat stuff.
So it's like it'll get thereand my goal is the end of the
year and I've already.
I've already committed if it'snot gone in the year, I'm
donated to the women's shelter,the safeness.
So it's like the kid, the kidsthere, they can use it.
If it's sitting here, it's beensitting here for three years.
If I'm finally doing anythingwith it at this point, screw it,

(01:17:17):
it's going to safeness, I getmy space back, the kids will

I even have some figures, dude,I still have some figures from
Entertainment Earth, Just someStar Wars 3 and 3 quarters that
I had because I bought a couplecases, bought like three cases,
sold, two of them still have acase.
I'm like I already got my moneyout of it.
This is just free.
Let me just donate it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
I've got plenty of those.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Bedroom too.
Bunch of random stuff here andthere.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
It's going to be me, as soon as school starts back up
and everybody leaves me aloneon Monday Working out here Three
more weeks when does schoolstart?

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
three more weeks.
When does school?

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
start Very soon, A week after my birthday.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
August 12th it's middle of August, something,
because wife always goes back towork.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
August 12th is a Tuesday, wife always goes back
to work on my birthday 11th.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
They go back on the 11th.
12th is a Tuesday, so Mondaythe 11th, I think that's what it
is out here too.
It still trips me up, man.
I went to school after LaborDay For real and went to the
first week of June, so I'm notused to this new school shit.
You're out before Memorial andyou start in the middle of
August.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
That's so weird to me .
Those WNBA checks Pay us whatyou owe.
Now they owe the NBA $400million, $400 million.
Yeah, I saw that one earlier.
It was like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
Are they that stupid?
I don't get it Like they haveto know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
They don't make that much money.
I don't, yeah, no they don'tmake any.

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
They've lost money every.
They've been around for 22years, they've lost money all 22
years supplemented.
So I'm like, do they not knowthat?
What am I missing If we allknow it, you'd have to think
that they know it.
Pay us what it's like.
You don't make enough money.
It's like women's soccer oh, wehave more eyeballs.

(01:19:24):
You might from Americans, butyou have to understand men's
World Cup makes several billion.
Y'all make a few hundredmillion.
So don't tell me you got, oh,it won't equal pay.
I'm like okay, the men get apercentage of what their income
is and what their revenue is fora total.
How about, let's say, they get14%?

(01:19:45):
Are you saying you want 14% ofyour revenue Because you're not
about to make a whole lot?
If you agree to that.
So that's what I neverunderstood that it's like I
cannot believe they're thatstupid.
They can't Not.
Stupid is the right wordIgnorant.
I cannot believe they're thatignorant.
They don't know that.
That's the scenario.
It's like what am I missing?

(01:20:06):
Yeah, when I saw that pay uswhat you owe, I'm like you owe
them.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
Yeah, because Aces games they're not that expensive
.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Nope.
And then there's the revenuefrom ads.
Well, because there's not a lotof eyeballs on it, they don't
pay as much for a commercialthat they would on the NBA.
So again, it's just basiceconomics here.
I don't understand what theymissed.
Yeah, it's $30 economics here.
Then I don't understand what?

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Yeah, it's $30 for an Aces game.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
Oh jeez, Do I go to an Aces game?
Do I go to a buffet Right?

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Now there's some sections that are pushing $150.
Holy shit, that one's $303.
Oh, that's row A, that shit'sfront row.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
Yeah, front row midcourt.
I mean, yeah, you're in frontof the announcers at that point.

Speaker 1 (01:20:53):
Yeah, but still, I mean $30 tickets as opposed to.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
Yeah, look up frickin' Lakers.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
Yeah let's go see a Lakers game.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
I pick a Lakers versus a bad team and it's still
300 nosebleeds.

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
All right, lakers at the Suns, let's see $80.
So it's another 50 bucks.
Not a row C, not horrible, butif we're looking, at yeah, but
are you talking about right now?

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
When is that game?
That game's until.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
October, yeah, october.
So same-ish section sittinglike courtside 230 the courtside
is not 230.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
In the Lakers game there's zero chance it's a Suns
game oh well, and now that theSuns lost all their stars, okay,
that's like going to anexhibition game.
That's fair.
That's 230.

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
Alright, let's see a Lakers home game.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
Let's see Go to a Lakers home game Versus, like
the Celtics, the Nuggets Alright, los Angeles, bucks, san
Antonio, somebody with some.
Oh, oklahoma City.
What would Lakers, oklahomaCity be?

Speaker 1 (01:22:06):
They don't even have games up yet.
I guess the season just ended,so there's only two games.
Oh, I thought the season justended, there's only two games.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
I thought the schedule was announced already.
At least not on TicketmasterPoint is.
These women are out of theirminds.
They're not making that type ofmoney.
No, I don't know why they thinkthey are.
Maybe I'll deep dive it.
I want to know pay us what theyowe us.
Okay, what is it they owe you?
Maybe they're not even talkingabout salary, maybe it's

(01:22:32):
something else where they'resupposed to be compensated for
some stuff.
They haven't paid them for ityet, or whatever.
Maybe it's something that'sactually legit.
But if they're trying to tryingto be like, hey, you need to
pay in more revenue, well, I wasgoing to say you can treat them
like beach volleyballers andput them in different outfits,

(01:22:52):
but that's only going to workfor like one or two girls on
their team.
The rest of them, we want youto put more clothes on, please.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
That one girl on the Fever though that came to
protect.
Oh yeah, caitlyn, she can wearthem volleyball shirts all day.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
She can wear the volleyball outfit, hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
I wear them volleyball all day.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
She can wear the volleyball outfit.
Hell yeah, I was going to sayKelsey Plum put on a volleyball
outfit, yep.
So some of these girls that canput on a volleyball outfit, you
might get some more eyeballs.
I mean, you already got thelesbians, so you're not going to
get more from them.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
But you might get some, but you need the dudes,
yeah, but you might get some menactually watching your sports.

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
And I will admit, with the Aces being shit this
year.
I haven't watched this much.
Last year I watched a lot ofgames.
This year they're shit, so I'mlike whatever We'll see how they
do.
We'll wait until they get tothe playoffs, if they even get
to the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
Yeah Shit, I don't even know what their record is
right now 10-11.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
Ugh.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
Gross, god.
Gross, is that what it is?

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
Last time I checked it was 10 and 11.
Let's say, let's say, let's sayseymour pieces, standings
button and wmba.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
Yep, I'm on it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
11 and 11 11, 11, yep , oh, they're on the two-game
winning streak, because I was 10, 9 and 11.
So, yeah, so they're in aplayoff spot right now, the last
playoff spot, but they're stillin one.
So they yeah.
They just, i't know, maybe bebad this year, get a good draft
pick and then be top likeeverybody else does.
It's like, why are your teamsso good?
It's like because you suck forthree years, so you got three

(01:24:19):
number one picks on your team.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
Right, that's why Drafted the best players for the
last three years, mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
Although what the hell happened to the Sun man?
Sun was top two team in theEast.
Now they're the worst team inthe league.
Connecticut dropped badly.
I was like what the?
I was like all right, it'll beConnecticut and New York again.
I knew Minnesota was going tobe good.
I didn't expect Phoenix to begood.
Addition by subtraction theyget rid of an old girl that
wants to be a boy, that was inRussia for drugs.

(01:24:50):
Get rid of her and all of asudden, boom, phoenix, top three
team.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Crazy how that went she didn't seem like she was
that good.
I remember when she came back,yeah, a little rusty, but she
wasn't that good.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
She was good when she came out at college and that
was it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
She hasn't been good since, but at least she's not
loud anymore.
That is true, yeah, man.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
But at least she's not loud anymore.
That is true Reese and Caitlin,and Reese is only good on
rebounds.
She ain't good on anything else.
Me-bounds, I don't know.

under like 80 or something,something like that, yeah, yeah
yeah, I remember that one,something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
But yeah, they can't prove that you were at the game

50 cent penalty for being forgetful.
