Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, we used to broadcast down in that area
every year. It was so much fun, and there was
like a pandemic or something. Franco, dude, one of the
greatest moments of my life. Meeting that guy. Wow, what
an honor, What an honor guy.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
We left, we got off the air. I said, I
wanted to meet Dave Franco.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
You were on a mission.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I went, that's what you said, coffee because I was tired,
and you're.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
You're under selling this because it was the last thing
you said on the air for the broadcast was that
you were on a mission to meet Dave Franco.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You didn't care what else happened that day, Franco, as.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Long as you go to meet then we sign off.
You went to the coffee shop, Sky and I go
to get into our cars, you know, go out to
like the valet, and guess who's standing right there? Dave
freaking Franco. And I'm looking for Thor where Thor? He's
right here.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You couldn't have held him for me, I got.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I mean it was a little tough. I mean he
was on his way a panel, yeah, you know, and
so we said, what's up to him? And and then
turn around and then Thor walks up when he just left.
It was crazy. Dumb coffee. Dumb coffee, you're just taking out.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
He's in town for Comic Con next week again? Are
you on it coming in? Allison?
Speaker 1 (01:19):

Speaker 2 (01:20):
You know I heard uh somebody somebody says that she
that they could she could get him. I said, I trying.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
She's on its out, bro.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Have you don the follow up emails?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Nos back, You're losing your little time.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I'm not the producer. You have fingers and a brain
and you have a computer.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
This is crazy. Listen, Comic Con is great. That's what
I'm trying to get at. Tons of celebrities in town,
all the excitement around Comic Con. It's just an absolute blast.
Yesterday's winter this this brought so much joy to my heart.
Had never been inside comic On, had only done this
stuff outside, like Emily. Emily made a big claim that
(02:08):
she goes every year and they just participate with the
stuff outside of Comic Con. Never actually been inside.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
What day next week? Are you going? Or I haven't
been that down yet?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Every year you said you and this guy had never
been and he won beat the Geek yesterday and gets
to go in now for a first time ever. So
that's the kind of we're making dreams come true here
on the show with Beat the Geek, which is what
I love. So the way Beat the Geek works is
basically last Nerd standing. I ask you some trivia questions.
(02:40):
Whoever you know gets the question wrong is going to lose,
and you know the other person is gonna win Comic
Con passes for next week. Let's get our first player
on the line. And this makes perfect sense. Let's go
to P one Hulk Smash. Oh what's up, Bulk Smashing?
Oh my god? Have you called in before? Beat the Geek?
(03:05):
I remember you? I remember you? How did I pick
you up?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I used to go to visit you guys when you
guys broadcast down in downtown.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You could forget you guys. You're the best man. So
you're a strong player. Obviously you're a Marvel fan. Whether
what other stuff? What other interests do you have in
the comic com world?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Oh? Well, Game of so the Houses, Dragon, Last of Us.
You know, also great TV shows? Obviously DC is good.
Harry Potter is one of my favorites. I do love
playing video games. So we have any street Fighter trivia street.
Speaker 1 (03:48):

seed here, like, this is gonna be tough to beat.
Uh So, hulk Smash, when was the last time you've

to say. Single, Yeah, I'm single.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I think I'm just meeting girls in all the wrong places.
Speaker 1 (04:27):

one Cliff. Are you there, Cliff?
Speaker 3 (04:43):

for you, but hopefully you are well versed in the
comic con world. Do you like all all things from
comic Con? I do, Yeah. I definitely love Star Wars,

all right. We're good, We're good. Congratulations let's move on
