Ever wondered why toddlers smell like pancake syrup? According to our hosts, it's a universal phenomenon - these "biological warfare" agents emit a sweet aroma regardless of their breakfast choices. This bizarre observation kicks off a rollicking conversation that weaves through retail adventures, customer service nightmares, and the dying art of collectibility.

The group recounts harrowing tales of Sam's Club experiences and parking lot accidents before diving into the fascinating downfall of Funko Pop collectibles. What was once a thriving market has suffered from overproduction and vault-breaking - when everything is "special," nothing is. Our collectors debate whether Funko's recent course corrections might save the brand or if it's simply too late for the once-coveted vinyl figures.

Movie reviews take center stage as the hosts dissect "Naked Gun" (a triumphant return to classic comedy that had Tuesday night audiences actually applauding) and "Weapons" (a masterfully constructed horror film that builds tension for 75 minutes before unleashing chaos). Between these thoughtful critiques come outrageous personal anecdotes about midget burlesque shows, airplane deplaning etiquette, and confrontational strategies that include the showstopping line: "I'm prepared to go back to jail, are you?"

The conversation wraps with nostalgic musings on GI Joe figures, upcoming comic conventions, and the approaching football season. Whether you're a collector mourning the loss of rarity in your hobby, a parent who's noticed that peculiar pancake syrup smell, or someone who appreciates unfiltered commentary on pop culture, this episode delivers laughs, insights, and unexpected connections in equal measure.

Join us for this wide-ranging, no-holds-barred discussion that proves once again why our podcast has become the go-to destination for authentic conversation about the absurdities of modern life and the entertainment that helps us navigate it.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
It might be a Target special, one of those Target
1299 specials.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Usually them Target 1299 specials are for

Speaker 1 (04:52):

Hey, I've been fasting, so youknow.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Do what you got to do .
I'm sick of three XLs onRoosevelt selling out, so I'm
going to go to two XLs, calmdown.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Calm down, lou, you about selling out, so I'm gonna
get it go to 2x.
Calm down, calm down, lou.
You got me my 3xs, that's allthat matters.
I still love the fact that wefirst the first time we ever
talked about it.
You're like nah, it's only xlsand 2x to sell out first.
I'm like mug, walk to the line,it's always the 3x is always
the first one sold out.
It's medium, fat, kid mediumalways sells out first.

(05:24):
What, what's been?
It's funny.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
You say that because I was looking at some shit
earlier and what's X's alwaysthe first one sold out.
Fat Kid Medium always sells outfirst.
It's funny you say that becauseI was looking at some shit
earlier and what's going isfirst three X's and then L, and
then X, then two X's.
It's like alright.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Eventually you got three mediums left.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Dude, no extra small, that's what you have left.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
That's the one thing that really pisses me off about
the roosevelt site is you getall excited because you're like,
oh shit, I want that shirt.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
And you go and look and it's like everything has an
x through it except for xl andlike yeah, they need to figure
out a way to put that on thecover, like when you see the
picture.
They need to either put upwhat's available or what's sold.
I don't't care which way theydo it, but I'm sick of clicking
this shit.
I was doing that this weekendbecause an old girl got her 30%
off and used it on the EvilQueen stuff, like I was telling

(06:12):
y'all, or at least I was tellingJack some of the shirts, I was
like, all right, why don't yougo through and mark favorites
all the shirts you want, so whenyou do get these big.
so we're going to get a 20% salecoming off soon because of the
being at Comic Con Yep.
Yeah, so I did the same thing.
Turns out they're only likeeight on my list.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
She's got like 28 on hers.
Well, I mean, the nice thing isif you could do like a favorite
size with your profile and thenif you go and look, those are
the ones that maybe are like ifyou get them, like show me the
new or whatever.
Like it shows you a little markon the screen.
It's like hey, this is, thishas a size that you want.
Here's all the others that wehave, but they don't have that

(06:55):
size or just show me in stock inthat size right, yeah, yeah,
that might be a filter already,but if it's not, it needs to be
but.
But it'd be nice if you didn'thave to filter it every time.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it'd be nice if you could just
yeah, With your profile you putyour size.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
We're now going to get a response from Roosevelt
that says hey, you can't do thatComing soon with the new Kemp
Kuna.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
No, no, no, no it goes you can some feature that's
already there, but I'd be coolwith that.
You log in and then it onlyshows you shirts in stock in
your size, and then if I want tochange the filters because I
want to shop for somebody else,okay, fine, it'll do that, but
it defaults to whatever size.
So that would be pretty sweetactually.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Why aren't we millionaires Back?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
to the point.
But yeah, that's what triggeredthat, because I was going
through looking for shirts toadd.
So when the 20% shows up and Ikept clicking, I'm like, oh,
that's kind of cool.
Click extra small, okay.
Click 5X, okay.
All right, I guess I could buya blanket.
Some moo, moo For real 5X.
No, lulu, it'd be a Lulu.

(08:01):
It'd be a Lulu.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
It'd be a Lulu Lulu and a Moo Moo.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
You heard an elf on a shelf.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Now you got a Lulu and a Moo Moo.
That'd be a great meme for thesix of us who would get it.
The eight people that arelistening are going to think
it's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
They wouldn't even get it until next week.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, and only four of them will get it, because
they're the only ones that watchthe video.
The other four would be like Idon't even know what Lou looks
like, so I don't know.

so, when they do the in, whenthey do the sponsor ads, and you
start to fast forward it, it'lltell you, it'll say, hey,
people have fast forwarded tothis point, fast forward and
it's the end of the ad well,because usually they make no

That's easy.
You just forward it until theircode comes up on the bottom of
the screen.
It's like forward, forward,forward forward use code blah,
blah, blah.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Okay, stop right there now it does it for you.

all of a sudden it was likepeople have fast forwarded to
this point it was, you know, 30seconds later or whatever and I
click on it and they're like andnow back to the video.
And I was like weird.
So I like looked it up and Iwas like is this some weird
feature?
And they're like no, no, thiswas was something YouTube
introduced for the premium tierof the videos.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Man, those people got to be pissed.

knees.

No, you have to watch like a certain amount.
You have to watch like acertain amount.
You have to watch like 30seconds or 45 seconds for it to

So I'll even get her home intime for her bedtime.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
I don't know what a true gentleman.
Yeah, exactly, lou, you couldlearn something.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Might have saved your marriage if you would have just
done that shit On that place.
I'm glad I didn't learn shitand enough cheese in the world
for that.
I only got Sam's Club.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
I ain't got Costco either.
We got Walmart cheese.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
That's like barely a step up from government cheese
you got market versus marketplus versus great value.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Man, come on, that's like barely a step up from
government cheese.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Market versus Market plus versus great value.
Come on, y'all trying to Bringcraft into this.
No, sir.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Got the Vita.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Exactly Now that's close to government cheese.
Talking about that's actuallynot even cheese.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Exactly yeah, cheese product or something?
Government cheese, talk aboutthem.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's actually not even cheese.
They have to call it somethingelse.
Yeah, cheese product orsomething.
Well the same with Kraft.
A lot of people think thatfreaking Kraft are cheese slices
.
No, it even tells you on thereit's imitation.
You got to buy them individualslices that are like four bucks
a pack and shit, unless you'reat Walmart, at the deli.
Well, that's the best way to doit.

(21:28):
I ain't paying for that.
I'm cheap, unless it comes withdoorables.
Then I'll go and drop $1,700 intwo days.
That's what happened?

Speaker 1 (21:37):
It'd still be one short no it is actually Did you
get Rocket.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
I was going to say when I went out today I was able
to get three of them.
Actually, you know how.
Remember the old school Jack,you're not going to be surprised
.
What I did was I did the oldschool tactic of going to the
poor neighborhoods and findingthose Walmarts, because them
motherfuckers ain't trying tobuy collectibles, they're barely
affording food.
The shelves were glorious.
You know, sheriff, in thecorner singing was going on.

(22:09):
I walked in, turned the cornerand was like this is what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Exactly, you were getting the fucking Halo music
and shit man it's a bit of adrive, but that's okay.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's where you go to get it and it worked.
I even found your C-3PO to gowith your R2.
I still need Vader, but oh man,and then oh girl.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
She decided to want those costume doorables next.
Which ones the costumes were.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Angel, stitch Pooh and Tigger are dressed up in
costumes, and there's 36 of them, so two per patch, there's 18.
So $200 later for the full setof 36.
And then it went from I justwant R2 and Vader to hey.

(23:01):
You sure you don't want 3POalso?
No, I'm not sure.
So you want 3PO yes?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
I'm just going to have 2 out of 3 though.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
I mean, I'm only getting Vader.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
But that's 1 of 3.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
And you're also a Vader guy.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
I mean, I guess that is true.
2 of 3 would probably be 1 of 3.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
If it had, Vader Maul and Obi-Wan, it wouldn't matter
.
I mean, I guess that is true,Two or three would Okay if it
had Vader Maul and Don't matterObi-Wan yeah it wouldn't matter.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Yeah, once you said that, I was like, well, I'm
going to get all three.
Yeah, right, I can't have itjust Vader and Maul, and stop
right there.
Dude, I would be twitching,looking over at my shelf like
where's no.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
You'd have a spot for Grievous, even though he's the
worst one.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
You're just like eh.
It's like, fine, just finishthe set.
But after that it's like, oh,genie and Abu are kind of cool.
I'm like, oh, here we go.
It's like, oh, and they haveMike and Sully.
I'm like, oh, what happened to?
I want two turned into seven.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Somebody's car broke down this week and you're out
here saying I want Mike andSully Twice.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
This shit broke down twice.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm taking a bus and this bitch wants doorables.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Doorables ain't going to go on the wheels of my car.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Man they might.
Now I'm about to change out mylug nuts with these doorables
and just fucking custom, youmelt them down and fix that
cracking radiator.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, exactly that would have worked.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
That would have saved me $300.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
And then they got them glitterized, so it would
have just shimmered.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
See, then I do want lug nuts with those.
They'd have been nice and shinyand sparkly out there.
Pint my ride with doorables.
I need to get some commons andjust antenna balls For real.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
I heard you like doorables.
We pimped out your ride.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
We put doorables in your doorables and pimped out
your ride.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Your radiator's still cracked, but your shit looks
fat.
That's what I'm talking aboutthough.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Imagine I could swap out the antenna, little antenna
ball.
I could go between Star Warsand Marvel.
Oh my God, I got to go back andforth.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I only stole one from the girls when I bought them.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
What did you steal?
I got.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Jack-Jack.
I got little Jack.
He's an ultra rare.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
In a Disneyland teacup.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
He's from the let's Party.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, becausethere's six ultra-rares or six
special editions.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
This one I stole from her on Christmas, because
Chuckles is the fucking bomb.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
That was the box of 30 from Target, right.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Or Walmart, one of the two, and I'm like, oh, this
one's not in here, darn.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Oh, how'd that happen ?
Craziness.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Wow, I'm going to go back and complain.
Did you guys ever see thatvideo?
You can totally do that too.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Justplay will send you a missing piece, did you?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
guys ever watch that video on YouTube About them
finding the van From just FromPimp my Ride.
It was like in a junkyard.
Somebody bought it for like 500bucks and it was like all
fucking trashed and they didlike a whole restoration to it.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
The one where they put like.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, they re repimped it, but it was a
fucking like.
They fucked those cars up, dude.
I've seen a few videos ofpeople where, like, they get
their cars and they're just likeI can't, it's like not even
drivable, like literally, theyactually had to like, yeah,
they're not.
They were able to drive it likeonto the driveway for the show,

(26:25):
but then, like it, they had tolike pour oil in it and like,
ever, like make it so it couldgo the 10 feet up the driveway.
And then, like they were like,okay, we'll have fun, bye, and
they're like, what am I fuckingsupposed to do with this?
Yeah, you got to figure it out.
Like we just were a bunch ofpeople who got like totally
fucked again.
Going back to the poor people,poor neighborhoods, right Like

(26:46):
these people had fucking carsthat were fucking they got early
running as it was, but they gotto get to work, which?
Unlike Lou, for half the week.
But they could get to work andback.
But then they're like, oh, pinmy ride.
And then they're like, oh,great.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I have a fucking ice cream maker, but my car doesn't
drive me to work anymore.
Awesome thanks, exhibit.
I only get like two miles agallon now because all this
extra equipment you put in it,the car weighs twice as much as
it did before man, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Some of them were pretty, though I ain't gonna lie
, they weren't the cars what youdo, is you just?
You put them on a trailer andyour new car can just drive it
around, just showing it off.
You take it.
The car shows get paid to.
You know, to just bring peopletake pictures.
Yeah, yeah, back then load itback on the trail yeah, that's

(27:34):
the only way you could have doneanything with that, because I
heard about that too.
Somebody else said it, and thenduke told us about it last year
, I think, uh, but I was shockedwhen I heard it, though.
I was like, oh, that's some,that's bullshit, man.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I didn't know that was the deal because I was
complaining that my car doesn'twork, not that it didn't have an
ice cream machine, right?

Speaker 3 (27:52):
the other thing I hated, like those similar type
shows, sort of not quite, but Iget the the house ones, the
house when the couple is lookingto buy a new house and the show
they've already bought thehouse, so they go backwards and
it's like then they do.
I was like no, I'm not, I want,I want it to be real.
Granted, the problem with thatis would take too long, right
you, because you have to gothrough and then do the whole

(28:14):
process so each episode.
Granted, you could do a bunch ofthem at once, but uh, it would
take too long.
And I get it, but I just didn'tlike that.
It was like once I found outthat like, oh, they already
picked this house and now we'regoing like, no, that's less than
I stopped watching, that wasless than interested, because
then they there's no realemotion, they already know what
they bought.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
So you can't really fake that well, again, the
upgrade shows right wherethey're like.
We'll give you 25 000 toupgrade your backyard and then
like people be like doing gaudyass uh, waterfalls and shit like
that.
And then they have peoplecoming in like judge them and
they're like by the way, youadded like zero value and
they're like I'm not planning tosell the house, so don't
fucking care.
Like thanks for the 25 000 likewe wanted a fucking waterfall,

(28:56):
you came up and said we'd giveyou 50 000 to beautify your
backyard.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Well, this is what we wanted to fucking do we're not
selling the house we don't careyeah, unless you're doing any
kind of major upgrades on theinside.
You're getting going to granite, you're going from carpet to
wood, you're going from plasticor whatever that shit is to
steal appliances and that'sassuming the appliances come
with the house, because youdon't have to keep.
A lot of people don't do that,so they'll take their appliances

(29:21):
with them.
So well, the list things orthey'll give them to their
friends when they vote.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
The list of improvements that you can
actually make to do asignificant amount of money,
that you're not putting a bunchof money, that much more money,
into it on a house is so small.
That list of things is so small.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Yeah, the biggest thing you're going to get any
kind of return for actual valueincrease is expanding the house.
That's about it.
You add an extra room.
Boom increases your propertytaxes as well, but whatever.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah, well, and how much are you spending to expand
that?

Speaker 3 (29:50):
You know exactly yeah the value, what would turn on
you getting off of thatexpansion.
Now, keep in mind with thecurrent market it's going to
increase because housing is justso goddamn difficult these days
.
Everybody asks me.
It's like why didn't you youmoved out here?
Why didn't you buy a house?
I'm like well, first of all Ididn't know I was going to stay
out here for a while and then,when I decided I was going to
stay out here, the market isgarbage.

(30:12):
I have no interest in that.
So it's like let's be real,when all said and done.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
What's the point?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
right, so whatever, I'm okay being a renter well
again it's your fucking pain inthe ass.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
It's a goal at the end of the day, right like we
were sold when we were kids thatowning a house is like the
biggest thing that you're goingto get to like invest in for
your retirement, for your kids,blah, blah, blah, blah blah.
But the reality is that's notthe case anymore.
Like that's just not.
You know, two of the three ofus don't even have kids or plan

(30:55):
on having kids.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
So like or know if we have kids right?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
yeah, damn lou.
That's rude.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I know if I I would know, I know everybody that I've
okay, they didn't mean to callyou out like that.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Dude there's like maybe three people who might
have kids, but I haven't heardanything.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
So you're right, and until I do, I'm good he's gonna
be scrolling through youtube.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
He's like that guy looks familiar.
Mom, did you know this?

Speaker 1 (31:20):
guy, I freaked this little.
After softball we're at the bar.
It's a bar that allows kids.
I'm waiting to get my check.
Oh, it goes yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
These two little kids come up to get root beers.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
The little boy looks at me.
He's like I'm five, hissister's like I'm seven.
I go, you'll look like thiswhen you're seven.
He's like I'm seven and I go,you'll look like this when
you're seven.
And he's like what?
I go, yep, get ready for it.
And then his dad came aroundand was around the corner and I
said he's going to look like meat seven and his dad's like yep,
sorry.
And she's like I'm seven and Idon't look like that and I go,

(31:59):
but you're a girl.
It's different Girls, agedifferent.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Oh, wow, that's great , that is so great.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Ruined.
He's just going to be the nexttwo years.
Like my girl, he's like in themirror every night.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
But you know what, though?
You do make an excellent point,though, because I think if my
situation was different you know, spouse, kids I think
priorities would have changedand I probably would have got a
house or whatever was needed Acondo, townhome, a single family
home whatever something.
Yeah, and that would have beendifferent.
But you're right.
In my situation there's a wholelot of IDGAF because IDGAF.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, you know, I mean you had nothing.
You have no one to pass it downto right, it's just going to go
, it's just going to go, it'sjust like.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Like, yeah, it's, it's real simple.
I was like, hey, somethinghappens to me.
Oh girl, just call Jack, he'lltake care of just all this.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, well, and, and more money on a mortgage than I
do on rent, and that was thething my rent was like and I'm
like okay, like if we couldfigure out something that will,
and I happened to stumble acrossone that fit that, that frame,
that well, that's differentfinancial framework.

(33:13):
But I was like, okay, cool,like I'm in, but I'm not gonna
go and spend fifty thousanddollars more and get a
moderately bigger house for me,right?
I mean because, again, that'sit's me.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
I'm like jack said it's expensive.
It's not just the rent.
Yeah, again, there's propertytaxes that go with it.
Well, your insurance isdifferent and unless your house
is paid off, there's would theyhave to escrow.
I mean, it's just so much I'llgive you an example.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
I moved in here and a year later my fucking water
heater caught on fire.
If I was renting, I'd just makea fucking call Beep, boop, beep
.
Hey, fucking water heater'sdone.
They would have scheduledsomebody to come out.
I had to go find people, buythe fucking water heater, have
them switch it out, pay for itto get thrown away.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
And they removed yep, not just the install but the
removal Yep Unless you all yeah,so unless you, had some kind of
home warranty plan that wentwith that, then you're right,
yeah but even then, most ofthose home warranty plans are
fucking griffs.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Anyways, you're still gonna end up fucking there.
They'd find some way to wiggleout of it well, the ones you see
on tv.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Yeah, you'd want to talk to your actual agent to add
whatever riders you need to add, but uh for the home, for the
home, uh policy.
So, but you're right, becausemost of them are crap the same
way.
Hey, your engine died in yourcar.
Come over and join our plan andblah, blah, blah, we'll get a
new engine.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Like, yeah, people are so what are you saying?
Ice tea lies to me when he's onTV about that.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Every time dog, Every time you see ice tea, Don't
drink that tea.
Man Sick with the Kool-Aid.
He's trying to feed you theKool-Aid.
But no, seriously, because theinsurance agent's job is to do
what?
Not pay out claims.
That is their job.
Their job is not.
Hey, I'm trying to sell youthis.
It's like your agent's tryingto sell you this.
The adjuster's trying to makesure they don't pay it out.
So I've been dealing with that.

(34:59):
Yeah, in, Proofs are thebiggest thing, so they make sure
they make every opportunitythey can not to pay out, so I'm
on my HOA board Um drink, Um, umoh yeah, I forgot you were.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Yeah, I forgot about that so like a year ago, uh,
like ups, so we have car coveredcarports for all of the owners.
Uh, ups, like, we get deliverytrucks in here all the time and
they always fuck up the carports.
Like we were like, oh shit,like like look at video, figure
it out.
It was ups, all this kind ofstuff, contact our property

(35:34):
management about following up.
And they were like, oh yeah,like ups already.
Us Like they called us the dayit happened and they're like,
okay, we'll figure out who youwant to use and let us know what
it is.
Send us a.
You know, send us not aninvoice, but send us like a
estimate and then you know we'lltake care of it.

(35:58):
And it was likeing bing bing,done our, the, the garbage
company, did the same exactthing.
They fought us tooth and nail,like they were like well, can
you prove it?
We're like motherfucker, here'sa video.
And they were like uh, okay,well, we want to use our
contract.
And we're like no, we alreadyhave a con.
Like the back and forth on allthat like and then they were
like the contractor came backand said oh, it'll be ten
thousand dollars.
And they're like well, we'renot going to pay ten thousand
dollars for that.
And it's like but you fucked itup like this is what it's going

(36:21):
to cost to repair right.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
It's like if we sue you it's going to cost you more
because we're going to win.
You have to pay our legal feesso that.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
So then we went back and forth and they went, okay,
we have a, we have a a carportguy.
And we went, okay, well, what'syour carport guy?
Eight thousand dollars, that'sfine, whatever, who cares?
So like they were supposed tocome like two weeks ago and they
didn't come.
So the president of our hoalike called them and they were
like, oh, they haven't made the.
They haven't actually made the,the corrugated steel, yet it's

(36:50):
going to be like another eightweeks and she's like what the
fuck?
Like I was here because we hada schedule.
Like she made a bunch of phonecalls and emails and shit, and
they're all like what we're noteven on my books and we're like
motherfucker, I just talked toyou two weeks ago.
How am I not on your books?
Like you fucking know who I am.
Like my name fucking popped upon your street like like it.

(37:11):
So like it's I don't know.
Dude, the, the customer service, right, I'm down with UPS.
Ups fucking handled theirbusiness Cool.
They were like yep, thishappens, we'll just take care of
it.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
My landscaper had the same thing.
They were on it too.
It's just like I tell you rightnow trash companies, I don't
care who you are Republic, Idon't know if they're national,
but Republic Waste Management,whatever all you are republic, I
don't know if they're national,but republic waste management,
uh, whatever all of them, theyall are asses when it comes to
their contracts and work andeverything like that.
That's funny, though it's likehow do you know it was us?

(37:44):
Well, first of all, we got abunch of witnesses.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
second of all, it's on camera well, we put cameras
up because they were charging usfor like extra and we were like
, prove it.
No, what do Like, what are youtalking about?
And we go and look at video,the video, and we're like what
are you charging us for?
There was nothing there, likethe guy pulled up, hit a button
a fucking jerk and then he left,like he didn't have to get out

(38:06):
of the truck or anything.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Like, you have to move around.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Okay.
Well then it wasn.
What do you fucking mean?
The lid didn't close, like, ifthe lid doesn't close, they
fucking charge you.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yes, that is true, that's considered an overage
Sounds like a you problem no no,no no, no, no the lid if you're
a dumpster you're in a condobut if your dumpster doesn't
close the lid when thehomeowners that's an overage.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
when that comes up and you're just like how do you,
like?
I don't know, how do you fightthat right?

Speaker 3 (38:38):
you don't.
I mean other than other thanlawsuits.
That's how you do it because,like I said, most states will
have a situation where theprevailing party gets their
lawsuit legal fees paid, so youthreaten to sue them.
Especially when you have theevidence that you do, then
they're like fine, we'll do it,because they know it's going to
cost them more to litigate.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
There's a bridge an hour and a half away in Hood
River that goes betweenWashington and Oregon the Bridge
of the Gods.
No, it's not Bridge of the Gods.
This is Whatever.
There's only like three bridgesthat are like Everyone uses.
Bridge of the Gods, that's thebridge of my house, not Bridge

(39:16):
of the God.
Bridge of the gods.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
That's the bridge of my house, not bridge of the God.
Bridge of the God, oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yeah, and so it's a toll bridge.
So when you got on the bridgethere was a toll booth.
You fucking throw your changein the thing and then move on,
go on with your day.
They changed it to beingelectronic, so it's fully
electronic now.
So when you drive by, they scanyour uh, yeah your license
plate and then send you a bill.
My friend said, my friend textedme earlier this week and she

(39:40):
said oh uh, just so you know, ifyou haven't gotten a bill, you
should, you should give them acall.
And I'm like why?
And she's like, well, becausethey'll charge you 25 bucks and
you have to like prove that theynever sent you a bill.
And I'm like I haven't got nobill from them.
I went and checked the mailtoday no bill.
And I'm like so now, tomorrow,I gotta fucking get on the phone
and they, of course you have tohave an invoice to look up your

(40:00):
charges.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
You can't just put in like your license plate oh, I
gotta have an invoice and Inever got a fucking invoice.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
So I don't have.
I have no way of looking it upthat would be a lawsuit.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
it's like no, you need to prove you sent it, right
like there's a thing calledcertificate of mailing or
certified mail.
You need to prove you sent it.
I don't need to prove that Ididn't receive it.
So fuck you, I'll see you incourt.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
But it's just like I don't know, and they're doing it
, so they get the $25, right,because if you don't pay it in a
timely fashion, you get a $25fee added on they don't do like
auto on that.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
auto pay on that.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
They have like a little device that you could
like sign up for, or I think youcould register your license
plate and they'll give you likea discount.
But I don't.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
I'm out here.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
There's no reason for me to sign up and get all this
stuff set up.
What I do, it maybe twice ayear, you know and but the fact
that they make it such a hasslewhich again, that's the goal,
right, they make it as much of aproblem as possible.
So you're just like fine,here's the fucking money.
Leave me alone, right, like Idon't.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
At the end of the day , $25 isn't a lot, but if you
scam enough people into $25, youmake a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
And you've also let all the people go who are
working, so now you're saving ashit ton of money who aren't in
that booth anymore.
You had to be in that booth24-7.
You're making all sorts ofmoney now you should take the
bridge of the demigods, whereit's not a toll.
That's true, it's a little bitmore dangerous, but hey, maybe
more fun.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Fucking Maui will be there and he'll say thank you
and he'll say you're welcome.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
fucking Maui will be there and he'll say thank you
and he'll say you're welcome,you're welcome.
They don't actually tell youwhen the bridge goes up for a
boat to go under.
You just drive and then praythat the bridge Reinforce the
front of your vehicle and justplow through.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
It's fine.
That shit's usually wood anyway, It'll break yeah you'll be
alright.
You got a Bronco, that's true.
Jealous.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Bunch of jealous bitches on the podcast tonight,
not anymore.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
I have a working vehicle.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Oh, there you go Lou was on the bus going.
I can make a U-turn withoutthat shit shutting off now.
Hell yeah, look at that.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
My blinkers still don't work.
What are we talking about?
We're not talking about thatright now.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
You weren't using them before, so it don't matter.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
I got hand signals, I'm turning left.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Now turning right.
Wait, you did that wrongbecause you said I'm turning
right.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
I did.
I figured on the camera itwould be backwards, so I figured
it would be correct when theysee it.
I thought about that too.
I was like no, I need to switchhands.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Wait which one's?

Speaker 3 (42:42):
L yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Hang on which one's L and which one's.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Honestly, that actually irritates me.
I'm watching videos like I'm ona reel or something on Facebook
and then somebody's shirt isbackwards I'll bring it up.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Yeah, and $10 isn't putting anybody over a barrel,
or just make it $25, like thetoll ticket, whatever,
everybody's got $25.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Yeah, $25.
You got that.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
Yeah, you don't set your lineup, then we just debit
your account.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Yeah, Dude the ones that like charge for like waiver
pickups and shit like that.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
I'm not.
I will not.
But I'm okay with having thebudget for a waiver wire, kind
of like the auction draft, whereyou just use the budget for
waiver wires priority.
I'm okay with that.
But I, old job, they did thatLike a dollar a transaction.
It was like ugh.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
They just add it to the pot to make the uh champion
prize bigger.
I get it and I see what they'redoing.
I'm just not a fan of it.
Well, again, if you're like meand half your team gets hurt,
well, now I'm dumping a bunch ofmoney in, yeah, on a team that
I'm just barely holding togetherwith fucking duct tape and
band-aids like man, man, justhow this pot.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
We got on sports for a minute.
They're not even done yet.
Do you see Asia Wilson Fuckingaces.
She set her WNBA record 30points, 20 boards First person
in WNBA to do that.
She's probably going tocelebrate with a dildo.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Big green one.
She had her choice from whatwas thrown on the floor.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Well, that's a lot better than the last record they
sold by losing by the mostpoints.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
To fucking Minnesota, minnesota.
Yeah, that was embarrassing.
And they come back and win bylike 20 something the next game
against the Valkyries orwhatever.
Yeah, you know what they'repicking it up.
They started off slow butthey've won like Five of the
last seven games.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Yeah, Six of the last eight Super mid right now.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
But it's because of the start of the season.
I mean, they were 9-11 at onepoint.
Yeah, like I said, they're like6-1 or 6-2 in the last two
games.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Is Portland's team 2026 or is it going to be 2027?
I think it's next year.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
That's what I thought too.
I thought it was next year aswell.
Next year, all right, yeah, 26.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
I'll go check out a game.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
And then the one after there's, like some other
team that's coming in, likeDenver is 27 or something, or no
wait, that might be theirsoccer team.
I think their soccer team isnext year.
So we're in Denver.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
The girls' soccer team.
All right, not horrible.
Actually, third in the WesternConference, that's not horrible,
Wait.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
third, I know Minnesota's one who's two.
Phoenix by what a game.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Yeah, they're 19-12 or 18-14.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
A game and a half.
Okay, yeah, I knew it was kindof close Minnesota's kicking ass
.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
They're 27-5.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Minnesota has no business losing the title this
year.
They are clearly the best team.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Yeah, they better win .

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Yeah, they're the best team.
The only thing that didn'tderail them is injuries.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
I mean, that's just.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Injuries.
And Kaitlyn Clark, you know,because she's a white girl power
.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
I'm just saying All right, is she even playing?
Is she even playing?

Speaker 2 (45:51):
I thought she was here, she was playing.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
She's back.
She's back, okay.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Yeah, all right Movie time.
I have not seen anything sinceHold on.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
What did I tell you?
I watched on Tuesday?
Because you watched the samething I did, naked.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Gun Naked Gun yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
Oh my God, that movie was so stupid.
I loved it.
All the puns, especially thefirst half was definitely more
punny than the second half, butit was just so silly the whole
time.
I'm just giggling.
It was perfect.
One of those you're like I'm notlooking.
What would you say?
Not everything has to beSibling Kane.

(46:28):
There you go, and I'm sittingthere, just like you know, I had
a rough week with the car.
Work sucked.
I had two bad meetings back toback.
I just needed to clear my head.
I had no intention of going tothe movies Tuesday night and it
was like look, there's a 745show, let's just go catch it.
My meeting didn't end until 745, which was perfect, because I

(46:48):
got there and only had to watch5 minutes of commercials and
then the movie started.
So now I know I'm seriouslydoing that from now on, because
that was such crap.
I mean, I'm tick of all thecommercials, so I'm going to
show up to a movie 20 minuteslate every time.
It's like people are going toexpect it from me anyway.
I'm black, so whatever.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
There's a website that you can like.
It'll tell you, like, how longbefore you go in.
I thought one of the theaterchains, too, was going to say,
was going to tell you.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
They said, hey, we're adding 30 minutes of
commercials, but we'll tell youwhat the real start time is too.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
Okay, yeah, I'm okay with that.
But again, it's differentbecause AMC, cinemark, parker's
or whatever they're called,regal they have their own,
different contracts with othercommercials.
So it's not going to be so.
You have to like that, which iswhy I'm going to give it, you
know, 20 minutes, becauseeveryone's going to be at least
20.
And then, if it's 25 or 30,hold on their story.
But I'd still rather skip 20minutes, yeah, but yeah.

(47:45):
So I ended up going there, likeI said, got it, got got there
in time for a small popcorn anda squishy, as usual, sat down
and then, within five minutes,the movie started.
It was great and it was justpure silly fun and it was like
okay, I, I can dig this and and,uh, device, oh my god, yeah,
that's how the movie started.
Dude, they had to go.
Still the bank job was.
They actually said plot deviceon the, on the device.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
It was so funny, yeah every everything that you would
think that they would do.
They did basically like in yourhead when you're like I think
he should say this, he'd be likeblah.
And you're like, oh, there werea couple.
There were a couple really goodlike puns of, uh, like I can't
remember.
There was one that they didwhere it was just like so

(48:28):
fucking on the nose, and he wasoh fuck, what was it?
So, uh, the week before, when wedid fantastic four, uh, my
group, that I sent it out to oneof the people, I was like I
don't think we're gonna doanother movie for a while.
We're kind of getting to theend of summer and stuff.
And she was like, oh, I reallygonna go see naked gun.
I'm like, okay, let me know.
Like I'm down, I'm just notgonna make it a thing, right?

(48:48):
She's like, well, let's gotuesday.
So lou and I were sitting inthe same theater together.
I will tell you, dude, I'vebeen in a lot of movies in the
last year or so.
This is the first time peoplewere fucking clapping on a
tuesday night after the moviewas over.
People were just like like itwas fucking citizen kane.
And I'm like what's happeningright now?
You people are fucking clappinglike oh yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 (49:07):

Speaker 1 (49:16):
I do that sometimes sarcastically.
Good job for fucking doing yourjob, buddy.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Yeah, if I'm doing something on a plane.
If I'm doing something on aplane, I'm gonna get up and
block the aisle.
So the fuckers the back can'trush to the front.
I won't move forward, but Iwill stand in the front.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Well, because you always let.
You always let the other, theother side of the aisle, go
first and not talk about thefuckers in the back man.
Just no, no but I'm saying whenit gets to you oh, yeah, yeah,
and they have it and they haveit offset and that and those
guys are first you always sayokay go ahead like but I just
don't know if, if you're tryingto catch an, what's it called a?

Speaker 3 (49:48):

get a connecting flight I getit and they've made the
announcement yeah, yeah, yeah,when they land.

When we land and they say, hey, welcome to vegas.
By the way, if you're, ifyou're on these connecting
flights, you'll need to get offfirst cool yeah okay, that it's
totally.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
I, I totally get it wrong with that um, but but
other than that man, I've doneit before.
I can't remember where I wasgoing, but I I think I was with
Daryl at one point and thepeople just kept flying by.
I was like fuck this.
And I actually stood up andstopped right there.
And then the people behind meyou know they're trying to be
the passive aggressive, I don'tknow why he stopped like that

(50:29):
and I turned around, you know,because I'm confrontational like
that and I'm like because itain't your turn to get off the
goddamn plane.
That's why.
And then they all, they're alljust fucking scared and shit.
It was like, yeah, I heard youthinking somebody ain't gonna
say nothing.
I'm ready to throw down on thisplane.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
I've already landed, kick my ass off right, daryl
already has this daryl alreadyhas his hands out for the cell
phone and earrings.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
He's just like okay there you.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
Oh, my shit, I don't care.
It's like, oh, you're going tobe on a no-fly list.
I'm like, okay, I'll drive,I'll take a bus, I'll take a
train.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
I don't have to fly there Trains and automobiles.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Right, Stretch one out.
I drove to San Diego.
I need a plane for that.
But yeah, the question is, areyou ready to get tossed off or
put on a no-fly list?

Speaker 1 (51:17):
That's the question Are you ready?
My friend's recording thisright now.
See the camera Bam.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
That's the best part.
That's the best part.
When you're out there justfucking around because somebody
wants to start some shit, thefirst thing I look at him and
say I'm prepared to go back tojail, are you?
And a lot of times that's whenthey're all like, oh, this
motherfucker serious.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
I'm like yes, yes, he is because man, I think you
give him the uncle ruckus eyefor real.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
I get nasty going on.
This is like I just starteddoing that rock a little bit
crazy.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
But no.
Looking like Matt Iboody andshit Naked Gun definitely
exceeded my expectations.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
I wasn't expecting to laugh asmuch as I did and you know, plot
was what it was, don't evencare.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
But again it's the argument of can you make a movie
like this in today's?
We've had that conversation acouple times about.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
But was it offensive humor like the old ones?
It wasn't as offensive, butthere was some stuff where I was
like.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
Yeah, there's some police stuff that they did.
That I was like, oh, I thoughtwe're past this.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Yeah, nope.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
We are not past it.
The fucking coffee cups, dude.
Oh jesus christ, here's acoffee cup.
Thank you like.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Here's a coffee cup yeah, oh, you know, I think, I
think my favorite chair fuckingtake a chair.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Oh, that was that yours I think it was one of them
would you like to take a chair?
She's like no, I'd rather standand then they get done talking.
She's like actually I will takea chair.
She grabs it, just drops it out.
It's like it's all fucking 100pounds.
They're just like.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
One of those metal you know ones.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
I was just making all the metal clinking, banging on
all the door, the door frame, myfavorite one by far was.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
It's still in my head right now.
Is is the whole, when he saysto her may I speak freely and
she's like oh, I prefer English.
But sure go ahead, oh my.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
God, when him and the , when him and the main villain
have their first confrontation,and he's, and he's like you
should go now.
And he's like, all right, I'mgoing to go.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
And then he goes off the screen and then he comes
back in on the other sidebecause he just made the loop
around the room and he's like goout that way, and he's like, oh
, okay, yeah, it's just againlike watching Airplane all those
old 80s, 70s ones and againeven the original Naked Gun, but
to bring that back and havethat type of comedy.

(54:00):
I'm hoping Spaceballs 2 isgoing to be in that same vein,
where F you with your offensivebull crap and we don't care that
we're going to offend you andwe're going to have fun with it
because it's funny.
So yeah, that was pretty fun.
It because it's funny.
So yeah, it was good.
It was good, that's good as amatter of fact, if there's like

(54:23):
nothing else I mean Tuesday,because, jack, you're going to
jump in here with weaponsbecause you saw it and that
might be my Tuesday movie.
But when it comes around, if Idon't have a movie to watch, I
would go back and watch NakedGun again, just because I know
I'm going to laugh.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
You'll laugh during weapons too.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
I'm going to laugh during weapons.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
There's some funny parts I believe it.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
Thanos is hilarious.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Well, it's one of those movies too.
I think if you watch it againyou're going to find other stuff
.
That's funny that you didn'thear the first time.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Yeah, especially you know how comedy is right, people
are laughing so you miss thefollow-up jokes.
Holy shit.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
The snowman oh, fucking God, dude.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
Bro, I thought that was a dream sequence.
I didn't realize it was real.
It was real, it wasn't untilthe end of the sequence I'm like
, oh, that happened.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
That wasn't a dream when they fucking melt him in
the hot tub spoilers sorry, well, we already were spoiling it.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Yeah, you're already telling all the jokes.
No, that's, that's not evenlike we told the movie is all
jokes.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Yeah, the fucking og.
Thing.
Oh, still hilarious.
And then that guy's never inthe movie again, like he's
literally in that one scene.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
and then Was it that, like the famous dude, it looks
like the famous dude, the onewho's Spider-Man?
He was in Spider-Man when hegot stuck to the trunk.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
I will look it up while Jack talks about.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
He's famous.
He was in, like some communitycollege show, I think, donald
Glover, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Glover, you mean fucking.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Lando.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Yeah, it wasn't that.
No, no, oh, she kind of lookedlike him.
Yeah, black people look alike.
Come on now.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
I just like the.
I like that that the policechief is the detective from the
Shield.
That warmed my heart.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
Yeah, she did look familiar.
I'm like why is she?
I knew her from other stuff aswell, but I forgot about the
Shield.
Was that Chickliss?

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Yeah Well, Chickliss was the main guy.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
This was CCH Chichi Pounder.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
CCH Pounder Pounder.
I hardly knew her what.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
I was reading a thing from the writer of Make a Gun.
He's like yeah, we had the oneOJ joke and we were like, well,
we don't want to go too far withit.
And he's like but everybodyliked that part of the trailer.
So I kind of wish we did more.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
I was waiting for it, like even if a callback of,
let's say, that cop went downthe stairs at a stadium, you
know something, something Causelike the things that stood out
from his character, that was onething that I remember, that
scene, so something like thatwould have been kind of cool.
But all right, enough of that.
I want to know what's going onwith with weapons.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Why is always wanted to watch it?

Speaker 2 (57:19):
but why is it good?
Um, it's just it builds reallywell, I think, um, because you
don't know what's happened.
Yeah, yeah, um.
So it it follows one characterat a time, like how they go
through all this stuff.
Um, it starts with the teacher,obviously, because she's like
the, the focal point, um, so,yeah, all the kids run out
except for one.
She like comes to school andjust like the one kid um,

(57:41):
actually the creepy part itstarts out with like a little
kid narrating.
They're like this is a truestory.
It happened at my school acouple years ago.
Oh wow, this fucking, it's justdark, right, it's like a black
screen, just like little kidtalking.
So it starts out creepy, um,but yeah, no, just like the the
world building how it gets to,um, why they ran off.

(58:04):
You know what made them run off?

Speaker 1 (58:06):
like does he talk?
And then it does like aflashback to like the day it
happened or um, it did actuallythat's how it started like he's
in, so he does the voice over,and then it says Two years ago,
and then yeah, and it's like herwalking into school and she
walks in and there's just theone kid there and then it goes
into all the Interrogations andall that junk like why?

Speaker 2 (58:26):
And the school was closed for a month, and then
they start to reopen it andthat's when they had, like the
big town hall meeting.
From the trailers that she getsyelled at.
Yeah, what did?

Speaker 3 (58:36):
you do.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Why isn't this your class Creeper lady?
It was pretty good.
I didn't know that Wong was init.
He plays the principal.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
Isn't he in the trailer?
I don't know he might be.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
It all looks the same .

Speaker 1 (58:52):
We served for motherfucker.
We started with a class and nowwe're taking you to a planet.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
You usually have a black person and an like to buy
and she's like.
So if we serve for motherfucker, we started with a class and
now we're taking your planet.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yeah, you just have a black person, an Asian person,
get together and be a chameleon,there'll be everybody yeah Uh
Tiger own template really quickbefore you go on.
The uh actor who played OJ sonis his name is Moses Jones and
his name is not Nordberg jr.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
Okay, that reminds me , even the credits had some
comedy in it.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Yeah, they did.
I saw a couple of memes andstuff that were stopped from
that.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
Okay, right.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
Yeah, you definitely wanted to watch those.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
Sorry, please go on.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
But no, it's pretty good.
It builds up.
It's kind of like how Sinnerswas where.
It's like all this story andall this shit, you're like where
the fuck are the vampires at?
But it eventually gets there.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Wait, there's vampires and centers, shit.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
I thought it was a church movie.
I was expecting to see it onHallmark.
Well, black Hallmark but stillHallmark.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
Um, but no, once it gets to like, why then like?
The horror movie kind of startswith the gore and blood and
everything, bro.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Yeah, there is Lou, I'm on the other side.
I got you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
I've been drawn to the hills since I moved here for
college UCLA.
I see it every day.
I live here.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
That was yeah.
Yeah, that was a good one too.
So the build up, yeah.
And then, when you find outwhat it is, it just it starts
going oh so this isn't like youfind out.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
At the end you find out, then more shit happens.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Yeah, yeah, it goes through a bunch of characters
and they get up to one point,and then it like res characters
and they get up to one point andthen it resets.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Then it goes to another character.
Oh, I got you Then eventuallywe were talking about that one
movie where it was differentpoints of view.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
Yeah, once they all catch up, then it goes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
That's when the horror movie starts.
The three picks up to here andthen it shoots off.
Yeah, and he did a good jobwith that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
I thought so I.
I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
I wasn't bored or at all made it number one, oldest
made her number one of the movieof the year.
So yeah, past, past centers.
So that's, that's a good signdamn it I.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
I looked up, that are you still.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
It's the list of quotes man.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
She had a bottom that would make any toilet big for
the brown.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
That part was pretty funny, though the whole theater
did groan and laugh at the sametime on that one.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
This is the one that I couldn't remember.
You can't fight City Hall.
No, it's a building.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Oh yeah, that was on the trailer.
You're stupid, oh shit Okay.
Sorry, I'm back.
No, this guy, it was good.
I mean, I can't talk about ittoo much without spoilers, but
that's what I was thinking.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
I was like it's like, unfortunately, there's only so
much you can say, yeah, we'vegot runtime, do you?

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
remember.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Probably two hours.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
How much of?

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
it was split, the way you're talking An hour and then
it takes off, or an hour andfifteen.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
An hour and fifteen-ish, then the last 45 is
the last active.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
Like I said, it sounds intriguing enough.
Where I don't have a meeting onTuesday or I shouldn't it's
definitely worth $5.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
You will not be mad if you go see it on Type 1
Tuesday, intriguing enough whereI don't have a meeting on
Tuesday, or I shouldn't becauseoh it's definitely worth $5.
So, okay, yeah, no, you willnot be mad if you go see it on
type 1 Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
Five and a quarter on it since they don't do Huh.
Actually it's a little morethan that.
It's $5.51.
After it went to $5.25 insteadof $5 with tax, so now it's
$5.51 a person.
So now it's $5.51 a person.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
The guy who directed it is one of the weightiest kids
.
You know Comedy troupe.
Comedy troupe called theweightiest kids.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
I'm pretty sure Daryl did not direct that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
I didn't even recognize him.

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
Are those the ones who did the dinosaur song?
I'm Rolling Bones tonight.
I think so.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
Yeah, I think that's it.
I'm Rolling Bones tonight Ithink so.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
Yeah, I think that's it.
I'm Rolling Bones, the hotboxing with a tyranny.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
Did I tell you guys, I watched the last Final
Destination, bloodlines.
Did we talk about that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Oh, did you Nope.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Yeah, I liked it.
I'm not a, usually I'm not.
I liked it, except the end.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
The very, very end was dumb to me.
I didn't like the way thatplayed out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:34):
Well, I mean like I felt like they just had to like
wrap up.
They were like putting a bow onit, right.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
And I'm not saying I liked it, because I thought it
was just kind of.
I think it was more of theshock.
Right, it's supposed to be likethe oh final girl, nope.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
But a lot of those movies end like beat death and
then they're like nah son I madethat trip to paris bam right
exactly bitch ass yeah very fewof them, I think have ended
happy right, I agreed, but justthe way this one did it, I just
thought it was a little much.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
It was like no come on contrived, a little contrived
, yeah, it's kind of likewhichever one, what is it?

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
two or three?
Whichever one, where, like thewater was going backwards in the
bathroom, it was like come comeon, it needs to be.
It needs to be more natural andrealistic.
You can't just say, oh, now wehave some spirits coming and
pulling the water.
That was like, okay, you tookme out of it.
These need to be crazy,coincidental accident looking
things, and that's how it needsto be.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
I enjoyed the hospital scene oh god, that was
crazy yeah well, and then whenthey set it up with the vending
machine, and then you're likethat's just gonna come into play
in like 20 minutes it's likeall you all you're doing is
waiting around to see how it'sgonna come into play, but

(01:04:50):
without a doubt, you knew thatwas happening yeah, you don't
mention prince albert in a finaldestination movie without it.
Uh, uh-huh, let's put you inthis wheelchair that will
conveniently have to take intothe room I did.

Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
I did like I don't know if it's, if we care about
spoiling at this point streaming, yeah, yeah uh, okay, is it
streaming?
Okay, all right, in that case,the part about the whole
illegitimate kid.
So it skipped the order thatthey thought I thought that was
a great twist.
Yeah, it was like, oh, that'spretty badass.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
So and again when they make, when they make their
characters so fucking annoying,you're like okay, I'm fine with
you getting into a trash.
Yeah, I'm fine with you beingin a being in a trash truck and,
uh, I'm fine with you being ina being in a trash truck in
there, like the whole thing washappening exactly like she said,
but not to him was in thebackground, to where you barely
saw it.
Like I was like oh okay, allright, I get it, nice, nice.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Yeah, I say well done , well done, yeah, and then I
can't remember what the hell isthe dude's name that died in
real life.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Tony Tony Todd.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Yeah, tony Todd His scene again.
I thought was really well done.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
I read something or heard something.
Maybe it was you, Jack, who wassaying that they basically just
had him come in and do you saywhatever he's like okay, cool, I
got you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Yeah, so yeah, well done, well done.
So, yeah, well done.
I like it.
What do we got coming up?
We just hit our 90s Like we gotfootball Starting in a month.
We got drafts coming up.
I've got Colorado Springs ComicCon At the end of the week.
That's this upcoming weekend.
I'll have to look at theschedule and everything, but so

(01:06:35):
far all I have is just the BadBatch poster to get signed.
But I haven't looked hardenough.
Like it's because timothy's on.
I think he's out here incolorado and he's been out there
a few times.
So if he's going to be there, Itruly may take my, my thrawn
pops because I have, I have both, uh, the, the chicago and the
shared from chicago, and I mighttake them both to get signed.

(01:06:57):
Those are like $600, $400 pops,you know what.
I don't think it hurts to putTimothy's signature on that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Or do you save it for Lars?

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
I know, because these are Rebels, they actually have.
Oh, he did, you're right, I'mthinking of Ahsoka.
No, you're right, I could doTimothy on one and Lars on the
other.
The question is, which one do Ido on which I'd put Tim on?

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
the shared.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
I was going to say I think I'd put Tim on the shared
and I'd put Lars on the officialsticker.
Yeah, I think that's what Iwould do.
And then the new one that cameout for Ahsoka well, not Ahsoka
the one for Tails, Tails theEmpire.
Because his Funko Pop is out.
I can always get that one tooand have Lars do that one as

(01:07:45):
well.
I wouldn't have Tim do that one.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
We can talk about this now, or we can do it next
week.
Maybe we'll do it next week.
But, what would you guys doLike think about this.
We'll talk about it next week.
What would you guys do to fixFunko?
Can Funko be fixed or is ittime to turn the page?

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Oh, that's not even difficult.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
They already started fixing it.
What's that fucking Starkillerpop?

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
Yeah, here's the problem.
They overproduced so all theyhave to do is keep like when
they opened up two, three monthsago.
The limited use your Funko fanpoints the opportunity to buy
stuff and they limited it.
It's the same way.
Why NFTs do well and regularpops don't is because they're
limited.
Their problem wasoverproduction.

(01:08:28):
Their problem two years ago wasthey started unlocking the
vaults and reproducing stuffthat was supposed to have been
gone.
You took away the collectabilityof a collectible and that's
where they fucked up, so they'realready starting to correct it
by making less, and that's wherethe value comes in.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
That being said, fuck them for not letting me get the
Stormkiller, though.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
Yeah, that technical glitch.
I don't think it was actually aglitch.
I just think 750 sold thatquickly it was possible.
For me, that's all it is.
For Funko, they need to stopTwo things.
They need it to make less,which they're doing.
They need to make new molds,molds which they're starting to
do.
It's like oh, here's my 32ndVader, okay, but it's a

(01:09:13):
different mold.
Finally, we're not going totake this one and make it chrome
, chrome, blue, chrome, silver.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Chrome red.

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
Sparkle Diamond, all the glow in the dark.
They're finally like oh, here'sactually a different pose and
different characters.
People are sick of seeing thesame characters and they are
making new stuff.
So they're getting there.
I think it took them two years.
They're two years too late, uh,and it may be a problem.
They may not be able to recover, but at least that's what they
need to do and they are startingyeah, do you think that

(01:09:42):
anything else?

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
because there's been a few other ones that are kind
of similar to fun code thatwe've talked about in chat joy
that.
Do you think any of those haveany chance of they might?
I mean, or is it going to belike a 1a, 1, 1b thing?

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Sword Royce is new so some people, I mean like me.
I'm not.
I likely won't.
I grabbed what that Voltron.
But if they get, the Star Warslicense.
I don't know how deep I wouldget into it, honestly.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
I wouldn't, only because they keep doing two
chases per figure.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Yeah, and I don't like that, I don't mind that
there's chases, blind box chasesand all that shit.
No, I fucking hate that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
There's no way people would waste their money on
trying for that unless you canget at least your equal return
on the gamble.
If I spend $20 for Thrilljoys,if I spend $20 and I get a
common and I can get 20 bucksfor selling a comment, fine I'll
, I'll buy fucking a hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Yeah, no, I'm not losing anything.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
But I don't know.
But they, they may beoverproducing and you have too
many out there so you can't turnthem, Cause that was the big
deal for turnover value, resalevalue because they didn't have.
Not even Back then it was $7.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
I mean you got, I would say $15, because that's
what they are now, but you wouldget the $15 back.
Minimum.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
But now it's like, oh , they made 26,000 of these
figures.
I'm like, oh, my god, and you?

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
can find them everywhere, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
It's like now.
Commons, I don't knoweverywhere.
Yeah, it's like now, commons, Idon't know.
Remember the last time I reallybought a common.
If there's something I reallyliked, sure, other than that
it's.
When is Funko?
What holiday is coming up?
Oh, labor Day.
Maybe there'll be a Labor Dayweekend sale and I'll buy all my
commons then, the way I used tolike.
Oh my god, I gotta make sure Iget all my Mandos.
I gotta make sure I get all.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Now it's like man, I'll get it when I get it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
Okay, I'll still be there, but yeah, that's fun.
Yeah, the the over again.
I think it started two yearsago when they started
reproducing.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
It was like oh, this was supposed to be vaulted.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
Yeah, this thing was supposed to be vaulted, and now
you're no longer collectible youjust not buying them anymore
yeah, it's like what it's like?
Oh, what's the point if I likeI have this, like like I'm

(01:12:10):
looking at my stuff, like, oh,I've got this, you know, dallas
con, exclusive Vader, that'slike 800 bucks.
So if they go off and reproducethat, then my shit just tanks.
Yeah, and, and that's whathappened, a lot of the stuff
that people had tanked and theyjust like, okay, I'm out, and
that's what people did.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
Did you see that with the exclusives, or just with
the vaulted stuff and stuff thatwas just out in the wild?
I feel like the exclusive stuffstill would hold their value,
even if they read Some of itdoes?

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
Yeah, but not really, because they do the exclusives
in in like GameStop and HotTopic.
So it's just the officialsticker versus not official
sticker.
The moment they take one ofthose from a con like the, like
the Grand Admiralton I'm lookingat right now the two that I
have right there If they madethat same figure and just
reproduced it as a common orwhatever, well, those two tank

(01:13:03):
instantly and that's what theywere doing with some of the
stuff, not necessarily theexclusives like this, but the
harder to find ones.
They're just like oh shit.
Like I said, make your ownmoney.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
Kind of like with sports cards.
Do you think that was also kind?

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
of a pandemic thing where, like sports, cards.

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
Well, so, sports cards like 20 to 2022, like, and
then since like 2022, thingshave just like.
You're not.
You're getting like on some ofthese cards that were hundreds
of dollars.
You're getting pennies on thedollar now, um, because just the
bottom dropped out right likethe well, I mean, we were all
stuck at home for hobbies.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
Yeah, oh, I liked football cards when I was a kid,
so everybody's into it, yeah,that's, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
That's sign of the times, I think but do you see
that also?

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
could that also have been a contributing factor for
the funko thing?

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
no, because funko's been out since like 2012 okay,
again I'm asking the question,if it started yeah, if it
started six, seven years ago, Iprobably see that could be a
thing for sure.
Yeah, but because that started,I remember picking up
exclusives at 2013 sdcc.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
So I think my, my, uh luke uh wampa is 2013 comic-con
, my pulp fiction 2013 comic-con, so it goes back a ways, uh, so
I don't think it's that sportscards have been around a lot
longer, like yeah, but that onelike jack said that one is
specifically because people lookat that hobby and it's like,

(01:14:29):
okay, I just meant thecollectability aspect of it,
right the collectability, thatif that could be a contributing
factor, right like.
I'm not saying it's a, it's aone or another thing.
Of course, when this type ofthing happens, it's always
multiple factors fed into it.
Yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
I know.
The key for collectability,though, is it has to be
collectible.
For it to be collectible, itneeds to be rare, yeah, and if
you're going to mass producestuff the way they were doing
the last couple of years, theydidn't really do it so much
during the pandemic, but it wasonly in about 2023.
2022, 2023 is when it became asituation 23.
22 was still fine.

(01:15:04):
23 is when they started doingthat, and it was like, oh, it is
no longer collectible.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
Do you think maybe the number of licenses that they
had also led to that too?

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
I don't well, because everybody's a fan of something
exactly you can.

Speaker 3 (01:15:23):
You can have a license for everything on the
planet the problem is if, oh,they need to make uh, the.
What is it, balrog?
Is that the?
Lord of the rings, lord of therings demon thing, right, okay,
but if they make 4 000 of themthe fomo, the height it'll sell

(01:15:45):
out and then it'll have valuebecause there's going to be a
high demand for it.
But if they make 14 000, it's ashelf one.
So they had to find theirbalance and I think they're
still working on that, but it'sgetting better.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
Yeah, because I know when I when I go to the store,
which still isn't very oftenlike, but when I go into a store
and like I just look at likethe shelves of funko and it just
looks messy, right like there'sthere's so many of them that
you're just like I'm not.
I don't even want to lookthrough them, because they're
all just.
They're're just like.

(01:16:18):
I don't even want to lookthrough them, Because they're
all just like.
It's like somebody just threwup Funco on a shelf and I'm just
like.
I have zero interest to seeingif there's anything rare here or
anything I'd be interested in,Because I don't want to spend 45
minutes like Picking throughall the ones behind.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Most people don't.
Most people have their list.
They know what they know.
They like what they like, likeme, I.
I know when like amando comesout.
I know when evader comes out.
I know the rest of it.
I'll have to find it onaccident if I'm like oh they
made this cool.
Uh, when it goes on sale onfunko's website, I'll buy a thin
like the last set of mean girlsuh, you know, you know it's

(01:16:57):
like okay, I'll wait till it'scheap, cause I'm not going to
pay full price for it.
I just won't, cause I know theymade so many thousands of them.
They don't care, so it's, it'sonly the exclusives, or uh, for
whatever, and whether it's astore exclusive, a con exclusive
whatever times, make the effortto get an ASAP.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
I have a GI Joe Duke figure or Funko, and we were at
the coast going through like athrift shop and there was just
one.
It was one randomly on theshelf and it was $5 and one of
the people in my group was likeoh my god, look at this, it's
you.
Blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, of course,because I'm a Duke head.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
That's probably not even a thing until now.
But you know like like yeah,exactly, if I if I, if I do
collect anything from GI Joe,it's it's going to.
You know it's going toprimarily be, you know, not that
I don't have interest in otherstuff.
I mean I think like the, theHasLab Snowcat.
That was pretty cool and Iremember having the Snowcat when
I was a kid, but I'm not goingto fucking spend $150 on one now

(01:18:00):
, or whatever it is, I don'tknow.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
Flint does.
Come with hot dogs on a fuckingskewer.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
That's true, it's true, and Lady J Love me.
Some Lady J Same.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
He can give Lady J a hot dog.
Yeah, you can have Lady J.
A lot of people are like, oh,scarlet, I'm like, no, I'll take
Cover Girl.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
All right, well, we can have that conversation about
which?

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
my little.
I like Jinx anyways, that'sfine.

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):
Oh, there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
Jeez Joe, your little pink hair having ass.
Was that Jinx?
No?

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
No, that was.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
She's the red Zorana.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
Zorana was the Well yeah, Zartan's crew.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:38):
The twins Zandar Zaymont and Tomex.
No, no, no, what was the?

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
guy.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
Zartan.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
No, her twin, the guy with the red hair who had the
crew cut.
Why can't I remember?

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
Why isn't GI Joe streaming somewhere?
Yeah, I know, huh how is it?

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
not it is, it's on YouTube you can find, you can
find like yeah, but a real, buta real station like Peacock or
something it'll be eventually on.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
It'll eventually be on, you know what I'm not
thinking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:11):
Y'all can have your GI Joe's.
I'll go hang out with Chitara.
I am literally eating pussy,rawr.
Oh man, what is it?
What is it called Speciality?
No, that too, that's already athing.

Come on now.

Speaker 1 (01:19:38):
Animorphs.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
It's something Like when they have the animals all
human-like.
It's called somethingAnimorphic Furries.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
It's called furries, lou.
No, the Thundercats are justfurries.

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
No, the furries is the convention I go to.
That's different.
A lot of rubbing at thoseconventions, just so you know
it's very hot.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
Lou needs to sign off now, not get off.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
He needs to wait until after.
Yeah, yeah, no, don't let himget off.
