On this week's exciting episode, the guys delve into a captivating discussion centered around the beloved Halloween classics, Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown. They explore the unique themes, characters, and cultural impact of both films, highlighting how each has carved out a special place in the hearts of audiences over the years. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Cody shares with Joe the recent addition of Something Wicked This Way Comes to Disney+, a film that many remember as a chilling yet fascinating tale from their childhood. He reflects on the stark contrast between the scariness of children's movies from their youth and the more sanitized versions available today, sparking a debate about how the portrayal of fear and adventure has evolved in family-friendly cinema. Cody also recounts an exciting personal experience, revealing how he and his partner Paige recently won a massive 12-foot-tall skeleton in a local contest. This impressive decoration not only fulfills one of Paige's long-held dreams but also adds a thrilling touch to their Halloween festivities. The guys discuss the joy of decorating for the season and the fun that comes with embracing the spooky spirit of Halloween, sharing tips and ideas for creating the perfect atmosphere. In another segment, Joe shares his recent culinary adventure with his family during a trip to Wickenburg, where they visited Capital Farms Meats & Provisions. He describes the delightful experience of exploring the local food scene, sampling various gourmet meats, and discovering unique provisions that reflect the region's rich culinary heritage. The conversation flows as they discuss the importance of family bonding over food and how such adventures can create lasting memories. Finally, Cody brings up some intriguing news regarding the prolific author Stephen King, revealing that he is currently working on two new novels. He discusses the significance of this announcement, especially in light of King's decision to take a break afterward to spend quality time with his family while he is still in good health. This leads to a thoughtful conversation about the balance between creative pursuits and personal life, as well as the impact of King's work on the horror genre and literature as a whole. The episode wraps up with reflections on the importance of storytelling, both in film and literature, and how these narratives shape our understanding of fear, adventure, and personal connections.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's a happening?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Nothing, what's happening with you?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Good?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yeah? Right?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
All right?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Then all right then okay, yeah, I'm gone, We'll good go.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't all I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I think I like Halloween Town as well. First off,
I have to double check to see what it is,
but I vaguely, I believe I vaguely do remember it,
and it's one of those dumb Halloween movies that I actually.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Like, none terrible. Nah, you're wrong, No, you should watch it.
It's on Disney.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, I know it's on Disney because it's a Disney movie.
And they made a sequel to it, Halloween Town too,
Halloween Harder Town Harder.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah. Well they're both trash can movies.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
So but no butts no, oh no, there's a butt. No,
there's a butt. There is.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, let's hear it. What is it? It's incorrect, but
go ahead.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
But hocus Pocus is a great movie.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm Mike.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No you're not arguing it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I'm agreeing with you and saying that Mike's hatred of
it is unwarranted.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, and it's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying like that is the.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
The butt in there is that there is something that
we can agree on that hocus Pocus.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Is a fantastic movie.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, rewatch Halloween Town and tell me that that movie
is not trash. There's only one good thing about Halloween Town,
and that's hard to say, and it's Benny the cab driver. Okay,
and he's in it for like maybe two minutes total,
(01:58):
So boom whom it says like you just proved something.
I did prove something. Watch it trash. I'm pretty sure
Halloweentown was a Disney Channel movie, so it is an
unfair comparison to Hoky's Focus Was, which was released in theaters.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I'm actually looking at this and this is not the movie.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm thinking. Yeah, see, so you're you're you're incorrect in
your statement, Joe, because you were false buying your stay
at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm looking this up because I believe Halloween Town was.
It was a good movie that I've watched. But now
I'm looking at it and it's not the movie I'm
thinking of.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Mm hmmm, it can't be because Halloween Town is garbage.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't remember what the movie was.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Speaking of Halloween movies that are on Disney Plus now, uh,
that are terrifying and apparently made for kids, which I
don't think it is. But Something Wicked this Way comes
is now on Disney Plus.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I'm trying to remember. I know I've seen that. I
think I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, So if anyone's out there wants to watch an
actual terrifying child kids movie that's not The Black Cauldron,
then something was Wicked this way comes as is on
Disney Plus. Now.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
No, I don't think I've seen.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
This movie, but this was written back in the day,
the nineteen eighty three is least what it says here,
where horror movies like even childhood scary movies were like
proper scary stuff. You know, this was back in the
day before any anybody knew about you know, like PTSD
and your child, you.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Mean making them ready for adulthood, making him.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Ready for adulthood. I guess everything is that you know
as an adult is scary. Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well, so the thing is what's wild to me that
they made this movie, right, is it's based on Ray
Bradbery novel.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's what I see.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, so like automatically, you probably shouldn't make this for kids.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Why not Ray Bradberry, you know, did Star Trek.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I mean, yeah, that's sorry, totally different person. Ray Bradberry,
on the other hand, was the science fiction and horror novelist. Yes, yeah,
so you know, I don't know if that's the best
way of doing it, but you know, teach at the time.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And that's what I mean by this is like, when
did RoboCop come out?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It was it eighty four.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Rouble Cop. I'm an all iges, I don't want mode
a im go eighty seven Cop was eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
They made action figures out of this Rambo, same idea
they made. They both made Actually they made a cartoon
out of rope Cup as well, and then made action figures.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
They made.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Into a cartoon and made action action figures, which I
still have somewhere. My point is it is like that's
what childhood was in the eighties, was, Hey, here's something.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Awful.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Rateed are Actually I don't even know what this way was.
Something we could this way comes is that what rating
was at? Either way they looking up right now, I'm
looking up right now. But either way they take something
that is purely uh it's PG, purely adult, definitely scary
(05:50):
and They're like, how can we make more money off
of this. Let's let's sell it as a children's thing.
Oh it makes sense within that that age.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm just saying, don't be pussies and make your and
have your kids watch. I'm not saying, have your kids
watch Faces of Death. But something wicked this week comes
not that traumatic. I mean, come on now, don't don't
(06:24):
be don't be raising a bunch of whossies.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What's the plot of this movie?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Small Town Small a small American town. Jesus that diabolical
circus and its demonic proprietor prey on the townsfolk Dark's
pandemonium Carnival arrives in Green Town. I do vaguely remember that,
But at the same time, this literally sounds like a
combination of what was it?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's not the Cape?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Is it something about I don't know, I remember, don't
remember something about a circus.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It says that to me Orton and then needful Things.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I mean, there's been a lot of carnival based movies. Yeah,
Vampires Apprentice, I think it's called with John c Riley
that technically has a circus. I believe in it, but
Jonathan Price is in it. Bro, like, there's so many
(07:28):
it's so good. I try to explain that Page hasn't
seen it before. Doesn't shock anybody that knows.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Her, right, I mean, this was wave of her her time.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, I mean it's not like I saw this in theaters.
I was fucking too when it came out.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
But but this was definitely something you probably saw on TV.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh yeah, for sure, dog. I think I think we
actually rented it on VHS back in the day, and
it's probably.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Something I've saw on TV as well, but just don't
remember it.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Mhm.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Just saying, man, if you want to watch something spooky
for Halloween and it's not Halloween Town.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And it's hocus Pocus. Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Speaking of facing your fears, Joe return.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
To Oz.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Again another another childhood movie that is scary at parts.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Oh yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Uh, Page actually faced the fear of hers last night.
We were trying to find a scory movie to watch
and she wanted to actually watch the newer Nightmare on
ELM Street.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I would think that it would be a movie right
up her reality, which.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
She dates Freddy Krueger. Okay, so back in the day
when she saw this when she was younger, obviously, she
saw Nightmare Elm Street the Og and had nightmares for
like an entire summer where Freddy was killing her over
and over in her dreams.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I mean, I suppose that's a bad thing to dream about.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So, I mean she's always been a she's always ah.
And so we watched it and I was like, well,
someone's probably not like to me, it's not as like
terrifying because like he's more menacy and just kind of
brutal in this one. And she's watching it and she's like, oh,
you know, I think I've seen parts of this. I'm like, yeah,
you probably watched it and shut it off because you
were too afraid.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That's what I don't understand about this statement.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I didn't know that she was that she did not
like Freddy Krueger, that she had problems with it as
a kid because she's so terrifier.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, terrifiers different though terrifiers.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Ye, But to me, it's still the same thing. It's
still very.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Gory, it's true, but like you know, and scary psychologically,
slasher film psychologically.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I can understand psychologically as a kid, you know, you're
much different back then. I mean, I don't know how
many scary movies as well. No, I watched a fair
bit scary movies when I was a kid, actually, but
to be fair like, one that has stuck with me,
like I remember watching as a kid and not liking
was and I've I know I've stated this before, was
(10:27):
the how I think it's called House the Houses or
something like that, about a writer who inherits a a
house from his aunt or something that killed herself in it,
and he goes the move into it and turns out
it's haunted by like all shit tons of other ghosts
and stuff and he's got like unresolved business with some
(10:49):
Vietnam era blah blah blah ghost I remember watching that
on like WGN back in the day, and it was
a scary fucking movie back then. But I'd watch it
now and be like, yeah, whatever, I mean, that was
just okay.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, So I suppose you're right.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
You know, as a kid, she could have watched you know,
Nightmare in Elm Street. I know I watched it when
I was a kid, but it didn't really affect me
in the same way. And then coming back to it now,
it would be like, Okay, that wasn't so bad.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Speaking of scary things. What did you just buy yesterday?
It was such a weird I will, I will admit this.
It was such a weird thing because what was it
Friday night?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You know?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I got home and I'm eating some ice cream and
watching some TV because it's Friday and I don't have
to go to bed right away.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I can be thirty exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Adam walks up and he's like, hey, h Cody texted
me and saying that he might need need the truck.
And I was like, I'm sorry, Cody texted you directly,
that's weird. What is going on? And he's like, I
don't know, Coldy just wonder if re wondering if he
could use the truck. I was like okay, and then nothing,
radio silence, and it's just like, all right, I guess
(12:18):
whatever he needed it for, either it's not now or
or he doesn't need anymore. And then the freaking picture
that you sent yesterday of a dismembered skeleton sitting in
the I don't even know which vehicle you're written, because
that just looked it was just packed in there.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It was Marvin. Yeah, God, damn, you guys stuffed Marvin.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Then yeah, so I don't know if you remember page
texted you texted the group last week or whatever. She
won a twelve foot skeleton in the contest.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Oh, I forgot about that. Okay, Yes, I did forget
about that.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So it was from a dispensary.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So the lady she was communicating with that was running
the contest said hey, on Friday, you can pick this
up at any time from the one in the young Town.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So I went online and I looked at the size
the measurements of the box, and I casually, not really
accurately measured the back of the Kia, the Kia Soul,
and I was like, there's no fucking chance this box
(13:36):
is fitting there. So Paige asked Mike at one point, Hey, like,
you know, can we use your truck for truck stuff?
And he said sure. Well, I didn't plan on working
as late as they did on Friday, and then we
ran out of time, and I was like, well, I
don't Mike's already at home, probably playing Madden for like
the fifteenth time to day. I don't want to fucking
(13:56):
bother him to drive all the way out here, So
let's go down there. We'll see if we can get
it in Marvin's. We put Marvin's back seat down, thinking
there's no fucking chance because we didn't know for sure
it was the same skeleton from from Home Depot, right, yeah,
because it just says twelve foot skeleton, which you don't
know if that's.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Just a generic thing, yeah, if it is a specific.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Thing, yep. So well I was like, well, whatever, there's
no fucking chance that like box is gonna fit because
like it's like three and a half inches whiter than
the that the opening of the actual back of the Kia.
So I'm like, well, there's no fucking chance. So we
go down there and they have no idea what we're
talking about. They're like, yeah, no, uh, we know the
contest happened, we didn't get any notification about anybody winning,
(14:40):
and we don't have a twelve foot skeleton.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh that's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah. So we're like, oh cool, because she's in the email.
The lady specifically said you can pick it up anytime
on Friday at the young Town.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Cure Leaf, but no one informed.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So we're like okay, and then like right when we
got there, the nightman had just gone on break and
so he had gone he had left, and so they
couldn't get ahold of him. Obviously he's on his break.
I don't want him to fucking go and get him
off his break, right, It's a fucking dick move. So
he's the one guy's like, hey, like you back in
(15:17):
like thirty minutes. You guys want to come back, And
I'm like, okay, so whatever, we're leaving. I told Page
email this lady and be like, hey, the young town
one has no fucking clue what you're talking about. Obviously
don't use fucking but they have no idea of talking about.
Like we're just trying to get some clarification, like is
(15:39):
it there, you know, can we pick it up whatever.
So she emails back yesterday morning saying, oh, hey, there
was a mistake. It's at the Scottsdale location.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Good god, Okay, that's a bit of a mistake.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah. Yeah, So I have a feeling it was sent
there because that's the biggest one in town, and then
it was both might have been like sent over, but
they just never did it anyway. So the reason I
texted Adam is because I knew Adam obviously is a
lot closer than Mike would be. Well, no, no, this
(16:15):
is for last night or for Friday.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So I was like, well to Scottsdale Chandler than yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So then I was like all right, whatever, and then
we ended up not doing anything because we couldn't get
the clarification that night if we could pick it up
or not until the morning, the until Saturday morning, and
I happened to be off on Saturday this week, so
I was like, fuck, it's drive down. Their worst case
scenario would take him out of the box and just
shove him in the back. We get their box define
(16:45):
does not fit whatsoever any any close close fucking regulation
of fitting in the back of this fucking kiya. Uh
So we disassembled him and threw him the back and
that's what your picture you saw, was disassembled to foot
skeleton chilling in the back. Yep. So that was our venture.
(17:09):
And then we we went and looked around that, we
did some We ate Ramen at Romenhood over in Scottsdale's
a new one. Yeah, it's been there for a while.
I've seen it. Yeah, it's actually not bad. It's cool.
It's like a quick serve ramen place you can go in.
There's a little kioski you kind of build you can
choose to already pre built one or you can build
your own. It was pretty pretty solid, and they give
(17:32):
you a lot of protein in it too, Like there
was like I got tariaki chicken and there was like
quite a bit of chicken in there. I was like, dangs,
is crazy for fucking good.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Because I love ramen.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
But a lot of times you go to places and
you're like, oh, I'll take the one with like the
beef you know, the I forgot what they call it,
but the base and you know, the beef slices in it,
and You're like, they get two beef slices, and I'm like,
could I have a little bit more protein please? Yeah,
So that's nice to give you a lot more there.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, it was cool. I was like, oh, all right, alright,
all right, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So is the skeleton going in the front yard in
the backyard?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Is this like, No, he's gonna go in the front yard?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Sure, in the front yard?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
No? Well, well, I mean no, he will be in
the front yard and then we will have to figure
out what he's going to be doing. Yeah the rest
of the time.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Hey, you don't have to get a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's true. It's true.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
In the living room, just decorating with lights.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We could put half of them living rooms a twel
foot tall skeleton. Joe.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Oh that's right, you don't have twelve foot tall ceilings.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, man, I could cut a hole in the ceiling
and we can fit him in. You know.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Options yea, options.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, so I don't really know how that's gonna happen
just yet, but you know, we'll play by your figure
out what happens.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
And that's what I mean. You could keep him out
at least for the next few months. You can decorate
him as a pilgrim, you know, a little hat on him,
a little uh find a little U skeleton turkey that
you could in front of him, and then for Christmas
just just thress him up like Sandy Clause.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
And then you don't have to worry about it for
the next three months.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah. Yeah, because the original like back the pages and
wanting the skeleton for fucking years since it came out.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Oh yeah, I remember this for years of just like, hey,
can we go a look at it at at at
home depot?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, sure, we can go stare at it for a
little while.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It's so funny too, because not not to like talk.
I was gonna say something else. I'll get to the minute,
but like a couple of months ago, because I could
swore that skeleton was more expensive before, which is wild
that it was.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
The first year, Like I guarantee you first year, this
thing was like almost a thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, it was like definitely.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Less than that, but I think it was like five
or like five hundred bucks or something like four ninety
nine or some nonsense. And I was like, that just
seems like a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yes, And but over the years, like it's probably dropped
in price.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
This is one of those things that they probably manufactured
like shit ton way back in the day.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
They're still probably selling through the l.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And that's the thing is they've actually upgraded it to
have like animated eyes, like they're digital eyes that like
do they can change them and whatever and they can
blink and shit. So I was like, well, you would
think that would cost cause the price to go up. Yes,
it's actually gone down, I'm pretty sure, because I don't
think it was ever three ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
But you've already got the molds and you only make
this like once a year, so once they are and
d out of is out of the way, and the
molds are already made. You know, you made probably a
decent amount of money on your first your first printing
of it, and like I said, you probably still have
some of them that are that have been there from
you know, previous Halloweens. And then they just are like, hey,
we can upgrade this with an extra little thing and
(20:50):
it doesn't really cost us much more to actually do.
They probably took some digital eyes that they had meant
that they had are indeed for a different Halloween thing
and just slapped those in.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Probably yeah, just it's just weird because like that's usually
not what happens. They're usually like, oh, yeah, upgraded features.
Here's Yeah. So a couple of months ago, well months ago,
a couple of weeks ago now it seems like it
was in September, I believe, so a month ago when
it when Halloween stuff started showing up in stores. We
(21:24):
went looked and uh, they actually had them in stock,
which is very very uncommon because they sell out pretty quickly.
And like we almost pulled the trigger to buy it.
I was like, well, we could buy it, like you
know whatever, and she was like no, no, it's just
wait and I was like all right whatever. Yeah. So
(21:47):
then like literally like we went like she like thought
it over for like like a week or something, and
she's like, okay, let's go get it. So we go
down to the home depot and they don't have any
And I was like, of course, this is what would happen. Yep, yeah, yep, Okay,
the moment you're.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Ready to pull the trigger on something that you think
other people are just done buying by now, nah, someone
scooped the last one out from under you. Is just
left the place just as you walked in.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah. So then I was like, right, whatever. So then
we were like two or three weeks ago, we were
the Young Town Cure Leaf. No, not a sponsor, and uh,
if it can be, yeah, if you want to, we
we have space. They uh they had on the the
the TV and the lobby area where you do your
(22:39):
online orders and stuff. Uh was rotating a thing on
there and it's like, hey, win this twelve of skeleton
scan this QR code. Right, So we both did it,
me knowing that R and Jesus is never gonna look
down down kindly on me for some strange reason and
not give me the chance to win it, because why
be why let what me be the fucking savior for
once and get the win and the cool thing. So
(23:03):
what was funny about it is, for some reason I
was able to get the link to work pretty quickly.
Then page wasn't the web The web page wouldn't load.
So we get back in the car. I finished signing
up for it. She's doing her thing and I was like, hey,
don't forget to sign up for that. She's like, I
don't know if it'll work. So it opens up and
it worked, so then she signed in and she's like, well,
(23:25):
I wasn't gonna do that since you did it, and
I was like, yeah, it's better off you know, both
of us try it.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
So last skip forward in time, last Sunday, you and
I are recording this year podcast, not this episode obviously,
and she messaged me says, hey, when you're done, come
in here. You won't believe what contest I won. And
I had forgotten what it was, and she's like, hey,
going there, She's like, hey, like guess what I went? Honest,
(23:52):
Like what is it? She's like, remember that thing we entered.
I'm like, we fucking innershit all the time, Like just
what is it? And she shows me the email, it
shows like you can try relations. She won the twelve
foot skeleton. I was like, oh my fucking god, dude,
after like four years or something of wanting this fucking
thing and just like not getting it because like didn't
want to spend you know, three hundred dollars or whatever
(24:14):
on a fucking giant skeleton, yeah, she fucking wins one.
And I was like, of course she does.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Ridiculous So page has that that type of like, oops,
I won something.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Ability fucking do stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, wild dude.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So the Pokemon stuff too.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
You and hert could be buying the same amount of
Pokemon cards, you know, packs, out of the same area,
and then she just happened to be like, oh, look
at this really cool one, dude, that's worth like four
hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Anyway, let me open mind anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Nothing, Yeah, like I have cards that cost me money.
I'm like, what the fuck is exactly one just written
handwritten U OE us money. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Damn you Nintendo Nyantic or whoever a Pokemon company.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, Pokemon companies. Nintendo Nyanik is just the app builder
for the Pokemon garea. So yeah, so that was the
adventure yesterday and hence the reason I messaged Adam, because
I was like, if we have to go down there,
like maybe it'd be easier fucking to just get someone
who lives closer enough to us without having to drive
(25:21):
from damn near California border to you know, to us. Yeah.
Plus I don't know, like yeah, you know what I mean.
So like I was like, well, whatever, and then you know,
we got the email yesterday morning, Hey, you can pick
up the skatal one anytime they know you're coming in.
We double checked it. I was like, a fucking course.
(25:42):
And then I'm like, and he's gonna be away driving
to a fucking Wickenberg to get burgers. I was like, God,
damn it. Whatever, And so I was like, he's going
to back Marvin one way or the other. Yeah, right,
So he's currently in pieces still in the back and
going to put them together.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Had we not gone to Wickedburg, it would have we
would have done it. I mean, yeah, it would have
been fun.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It would just a matter of been a matter of
whether the truck was charged up enough. But even if
it wasn't, uh probably would have fit in the back
of the.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Chiem No dode that box is wide. Brother, that book
was wide Okay yeah, yeah, I don't remember the measurements now, probably,
But is that box is because the whole thing, the
thing about it is the skeleton parts aren't don't take
that much room, right, there's skeleton parts. Yeah. What actually
(26:37):
makes that box so wide is the base, because it's
one solid piece.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
M m yeah, I mean that makes sense, but it's
weird that they would like, no, I guess you would
have to.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Have aunt nevermind. Yeah, yeah, you're.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Right, because I was thinking of like the base would
just be like one long piece, but it's probably like
long and also wide. So like the box it self,
like you're saying, is literally sized to the base, not
sized to the skeleton.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, because you open up and the skeleton parts are
separated by cardboard pieces to keep them from rubbing obviously
in shipping, right and like, but then you get to
the bottom and it has this fucking base and I
was like, oh, that is the reason this box is
so fucking big, right, and it has to be tall
because of all the pieces stacked on top of it.
But I was like, oh, okay, okay, okay, I see
(27:28):
I see this. This makes a lot more sense because
I was like, man, what the fuck is in this?
And then I was like, oh, the base is one
solid piece and it is I want to say it
was something like thirty eight inches wide or something like
that was what the box was might be a little bit.
(27:49):
I came er measure what was I looked it up
the other night in a rush, and I was like,
just took a measure out to tape measuring and to
the back of Marvin. I was like, there's no fucking
chance because the opening of my technically would be big enough,
but the plastic molding that hides the frame of the
car comes in more and I'm like, yeah, all right,
(28:09):
well clear that's not happening. So anyways, he got this,
he got put in there in pieces. Uh So like
when you it's so funny when you walk up to
the car, like you look through the windshield and you're like, oh,
that's a vertebrae.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Is it still in the car? I mean, I guess it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I didn't want to bring it out and dragging the house,
so it's left it in the.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Only to it outside again the next day.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, So it makes sense. And the cool thing is
like it doesn't even really need tools to put together.
That the the the the structure that holds it to
the metal skeleton. Funny part that the plastic skeleton goes
around is just those like lock pins, you know, and
you put it in, has that pressure pin pooms in,
(28:57):
so like the only screws that are in it are
eye lit screws for the anchors, so like you like,
I was like, oh, I don't even because originally I
was just gonna like we were gonna cord. I was
gonna get my tools from my van and then put
it together. And then I was looking at the instructions.
I was like, nowhere on here does it say anything
about needing like duel, like it like Phillip's head or
(29:18):
or or Alan wrench or fucking hex key, whatever you
want to call it, none of those. I was like,
what the hell's usually say like, hey, these are the
tools you're gonna need, you know, plyers and like whatever. Right,
So I'm looking at and then I'm like, Okay, how
the fuck does this thing go together? So I'm looking
through the list, the part list, and nowhere does it
say like screws. It just says, uh is lit screws.
(29:40):
And I was like, well, those are in the picture,
and I was like, that's for the anchors. Then Page
looks down and she goes oh, and she presses on
a little button. I was like, holy shit, this is
all just fitted right in. That's fucking cool. Hell, that's
really nice.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah down.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah. So I was like okay. And then and on
the we didn't save any part of the boxes on
the boxes like set up instruction Size took pictures of it,
and I was like, well, and they were kindly enough
to take the giant fucking box from us to throw away.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I mean, they have a their business. They'll have a
giant trash can that they just throw things into and
just get rid of it. But that's also good for
you guys, because it's not a giant box that you
have to deal with throw things away.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But yeah, we were up in Wickenberg. It was fun
my parents, it's all.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
It was so.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Weird to talk about that this past week. As as
last Sunday. Apparently my mom had seen Capital Burger or
something something bother whatever it is fully called in Wickenberg
on TV, and so we were over there last weekend.
She was like, you know, you guys want to go
(30:53):
next Saturday, because apparently they're closed on Sundays. Otherwise we
probably would have gone Sunday. And we were like, yeah, yeah,
that sounds like fun.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
We can do that.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
And Adam was like, hey, you know, we can take
the truck up there. So he had it fully charged
and everything. It's been a while since I've been to Wickenberg,
and God damn, I just driving around there gives me anxiety.
I didn't, you know, even not me driving, but Adam
driving is f one fifty lightning, you know, throughout fucking
(31:23):
small ass streets and he's just going, you know, everywhere.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I'm just anxietied out just because of that.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
But you've been to the Burger place because you've done
work up there, it almost seems like that's a converted
gas station. Like it is a converted gas station. Jesus Christ.
The thing is right there on the corner. We almost
drove past it because the map was just like, oh yeah,
it's just up around the corner. And then suddenly it's there,
(31:51):
right there. Adam was just like, oh, shit's right there.
Just have to fucking turn. And then it was like
where we park here, you know, just so because so
I don't block this other dude in but yeah, all right,
so we parked and went in, and uh, it's actually
a cool little store. On the inside. They have a
lot of uh I guess, local stuff that they make there,
(32:17):
you know, not not necessarily from Capital Farms, but from
other places around their gyms, turkeys and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Yeah, I went with just the double smashed with a
smash classic, the double burger size.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
My only complaint with the place.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I actually technically have like two slight complaints. Well one
one kind of major complaint, one slight complaint. The major
complaint is, uh, you certain a burger with no fries?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Like I even get up there, I'm looking at the menu.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I had looked at it previously, but I only looked
at it really as for what they have for.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like burgers and and stuff, and so I have them.
I'm looking at their meny and I'm like, okay, there's
the burger. You know, go with this, and you know.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Let me just do a classic, like I want to
make sure that I get acid reflex, and so I'm like,
you know, maybe just a classic double classic will be
pretty good. And I'm like, okay, sides sizes, you see chips,
you know, that's weird. And so we get up there and.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
It's like, you know, I'll take the burger and do
you guys have fries?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
And he goes, no, we just have chips, blah blah blah,
and I was just like, all right, I guess.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I'll take chips, just salted chips, you know.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
So I got You know, it's cool that they have
like the giant cokes glass bottle cokes, so I do
appreciate that because those are always good. But no fries.
That's my major complaint. Like you you do burgers, but
no fries.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Hell is this place?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Cows don't produce French fries, buddy.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But they don't produce potato chips either.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, but you know that's something they can procure.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
They are bagged, like the potato chips weren't made there
were obviously, and I don't even remember the brand. I
didn't actually meet them. They're they're actually sitting in the
front of the of the truck right now. It meant
to give me yesterday, and it's like that's right there
in the front of the truck.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
So yeah, whatever, I lead so far away.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
So far away.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
But so there are probably some maybe local brand or
something like that, so I could definitely see you know,
that's kind of a reason.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's one thing that they don't have to make their whatever.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
My only other small complaint it's how fucking greasy those
things were. Like they're good, don't get me wrong, but
where grease grease ended and like cheese began.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It's the problem with smash burgers though, because everything.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Just melted into each other, like the even they use
beef tallow there and they use it on everything.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Like I know that the burger is probably cut with
beef tallow, you know, like when.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
They when they burgerize it, they just cut it with
beef tallow. But then the buttons themselves are actually grilled
on the grill in beef tallow, and so everything is
just like beef tallow.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
So I didn't even realize that you could get a.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Combo and the combo comes with the cookie, and the
cookie instead of having butter, has beef.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Tallow in it.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
So like Adam got that and he took a couple
of bites out of this and he's like this is good. Also,
weirdly has coconut edit, and I was like, well, hold
on that looks like a chocolate chip cookie. He's like, yeah,
but chocolate chip and coconut, but it's not a whole
lot of coconut. I'm like, well, you already not sold
me on this because it has coconut in it.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
But he's looking at the ingredients and it's like, yeah,
beef tallow and he's like, yep, I can only eat
a little bit of this before it's just way too much.
We almost thought, I will say though, in the actual
store thing, we were looking at the meats that they
had there for sale, and for being a boots cheek
Ish meat place, a pound of ground beef was eight
(36:06):
ninety nine and that's what I can go get at fries.
And I almost bought a pound of ground beef there
just to make burgers in the future. My only I
only didn't because after a while it was just like,
I don't I don't know if I want to deal
with as much beef tallow and grease.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah. So it's a little different when you're not using
just like an an olive oil or something to cook
your burger, and there there or butter, because butter doesn't butter.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
It would be grilling them. So they wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
That bad, Yeah, because you're not you're not smashing them,
so they're not they're not cooking and sitting in their
own grease exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, but I don't know after eating the burger, because
that all that was.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
But that and it's also one of those things where
like before the burger, like I hadn't eat breakfast or
anything like that, so I'm like, I'm hungry, and you're
looking at.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
All the stuff and you're like, oh my god, that
looks good.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Well, maybe get a sauce down here and that and that,
and then you get done eating and everyone's like because
everyone was doing the same thing.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
My dad was like, oh do they have like aged
you know, beef in there and whatnot? All let's let's
take a look at the stuff. Oh, maybe we could
do this and that.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
And then everyone got done eating, and everybody it was like,
he do you want to go buy any of the
meets in there? Because my dad had also brought you know,
a cooler, like an active an active cooler cooler, and
we were all just like, no, we think we're done,
Let's go walk around Wickenberg for a little bit.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
So then that's what we did. And that was still
a thing there because again, having not been in Wickenberg
in a very long time, you know they do have
I'm sure somewhere antique stores and whatnot, like a strip
of stores that you could walk down and walk through.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
And we really couldn't find a strip of stores, just
one or.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Two stores that we ended up walking through for pre
antique stuff and it was just like, okay, we're done.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Went home.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Well, went on the way home and then stopped off
at the metal and pottery places on the on the
way back. That's when I texted, you guys, the giant
to xeomorph metal statue there? Uh, And I took another
picture because I thought it was I thought it was funny.
They had a ufo.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
And then little aliens.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Oh yeah, ufo.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I was like, that would be funny. And I was
like mom, because my mom was that that not that
type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
But she if you look at her backyard, she has
she does have a bunch of like metal you know,
stuffs hanging off the the walls of the backyard and
little humming those like hummingbird glow things back there.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Something.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
You know, they have a nice yard to just be
able to sit back there and just be like, you know,
this is nice. So that's what she was looking for.
She was looking for a metal turtle back there, but
we couldn't find one. We just could only find like
pottery versions. But I saw the alien. I was like, yeah, mom,
you should get that for the backyard.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
It's like a turtle.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
It's like a turtle.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah, they're sort of reptilely exactly.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
You have like a thing with legs and that's the UFO,
and then you have those sort of reptile alien things.
There was an alien there at the beginning when you
walk right in that that was in like sexy, lay
down pose.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh the like the like Jeff Goldman from fucking Yes Yes.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
From Drastic Park.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Yeah yeah, so I thought that was funny, but we
couldn't find it, and then we just went home after that.
So it was quite the day. It's fun ish. Yeah,
I'm not one of those types of people that can
walk through vintage stuff and just look at buying that
(39:45):
type of kiach stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Though.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, it's a it's like it's a weird thing. Sometimes
to me too, it's like, I don't none of this
makes me feel good about it.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
The other funny thing that we were passing through. The
one antique store really that we passed through was they
had like a small cabinet and they had like an
old DS and their PlayStation one, uh super Nintendo, and
they're all like one hundred something bucks. And my dad
was like, what's this stuff doing in here? That's not vintage?
(40:21):
And I looked at him.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Like, no, no, that is the vintage stuff now.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
The other stuff is the vintage stuff that was older
vintage that people don't want. This is the new vintage
here from my generation, my generation. This is the vintage stuff.
And he's just like oh, okay, yeah and walked off.
But it's like, that's weird to me now that that
(40:46):
is like going to be the thing you'll see. And
you know those vintage stores right next to the your
old Root sixty six stuff you have like Nintendo games
and rttvs and old VHS cam quarters and maybe like
a VHS player or.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Something like that.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah, that is the That is the new old stuff
that you're gonna see.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
The colic bucket full of Nokia fucking T nine phones
and ship they.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Had a bag of Legos.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
They're just like, here's a bag of Legos by a
bag of Legos. It's like, yeah, that is the new
old vintage stuff that that these types of places will
be selling, and it's just gonna get bigger or more
of I might like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
God, I'm too old for this ship, like this is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Yeah. That was basically that was That was That was Wickenberg.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
I know that we still I still need to plant
out the h the Jerome trip sometimes.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
That'll probably. That's obviously pushed till November.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Now.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
I just gotta think it would have been oddly perfect
had I got it out this month, because obviously you've
had two Saturdays off.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Oh it's like, well, no to every other saturdays the
other Saturday.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
And it's like, oh, well that would have been almost perfect.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yeah, I know about that. Well, if I hadn't known
about it ahead of time too, other than Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Planned about a lot better. But you know, whatever, whatever
happens happens.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
If he dies, he dies, Yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
So that'll probably that's seeming like it's gonna be pushed
back into November.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Then that's I would say.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Yeah, right, get to it eventually. But that's basically it.
I don't I'm trying to think of anything else that
they did this week. I didn't do it. Do much
else this week besides.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Work, m that's pretty much it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and
do much else work and work and then going to
get a twelve foot skeleton to cram in the back
of a Kia Soul.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Oh my god, that's still just the fact that she won.
That is just so perfect.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
It's fucking ridiculous, dude.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
It does remind me that I ran across I was
looking for some new hairties because I'm not actually pretty
much out of haardise. They stretch too easily. I ran
across a company called the Long Hairs that well, yeah,
they sell hairtize meant for guys, but they have spooky
themed ones and a few of them actually reminded me
(43:31):
a Paige and I was going to send the link
to it, but one of them was like the Slashers,
and so it had like, you know, uh would be
copyright and distinct Freddy and Jason versus versions. I was like, oh,
Paige probably would like that, not knowing that she was
afraid of freaking Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
I don't know. After last night, maybe she's not as
afraid anymore.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yeah, so maybe she can look at that if she
wants some spooky hair ties, because they had different ones
on there too. They had like ubiamin bundles too. So
there was one that had like a ghost, bats, a
pumpkins and skeleton, and then there was like a whole
skeleton one, and then there was another one that was
(44:17):
the the Slasher one with Freddy Jason, and then they
had like one that was just like Freddy's.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Shirt, you know, oh the sweater yeah, stripes.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah. What was the other one?
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Oh, it was like Franken stran Bankstein, Dracula, Mummy and
whatever woo wear.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Wolf one was.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
It was like, oh, Patri probably really really liked these,
almost sent the link not knowing that probably secure the
ship out or.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Is that Freddy?
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Yeah, it was funny because we went to a Spirit
yesterday over there.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
And Spirit like the new target for you guys.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Well during Halloween it is. And if we got the
Christmas one here, it'd be Christmas time too, I'm sure.
But she always like, whenever you drive by a new
one we haven't been to, she wants to go into it.
So we were in Scottsdale, so I went to the
one over by that best spy and a little tiny
one didn't even have an anatronic setup because it's so
small in there. But right next to like the terrifier
(45:21):
stuff is a whole aisle of just Freddy Krueger stuff.
So like there's literally just masks hanging down, and I'm like,
Jesus Christ thinks a lot of guys. Yeah right, hep moving.
Can you be appropriate and move to the Freddy Krueger
stuff over by the children's costumes? It makes more sense
over there.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Dare you have scary stuff hanging out? How dare you
spirit Halloween?
Speaker 1 (45:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Put that just out in the open. You're gonna scare people.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Je gets it. Joe understands.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 1 (45:57):
Oh my god, yep. So Stephen King announced, Uh, he
has two more books that he's working on and then
he's gonna take a break.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
Good.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
That dude deserves a break. He works way too hard.
He writes like three or four books a year.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Yeah, it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
It took Dan Brown like ten years between his last
book and this one.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
Well, it's because he's a fucking slacker, you know. It's fine.
Uh yeah, So he announced yesterday or day before or
whatever that he will be. The two he's writing and
working on it now. One is a uh, they're both
gonna both books are gonna wrap up three different I
(46:53):
don't want to call him franchises like properties.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
Uh So, one of them is the I guess the
last Holly Gibney book, which is the which started all
with the Mister Mercedes books and then let into Outsider
and then so on and so forth because she was
featured in the Outsider. And then the other one is
(47:25):
the third book in the Talisman trilogy. Ok So, and
that's based on an idea that Peter Straub had before
he passed that they were kind of like kicking around,
but they because King is so fucking prolifically busy, they
(47:45):
kept kind of pushing not pushing off, but like just
kind of delaying. And then unfortunately Peter passed away in
twenty twenty two, so he's been kind of like, you know,
work shopping at more and more. Based on this thought
that Peter had for the wrapping up the trilogy, which
is gonna be two, the reason it's three properties is
(48:06):
because it's also going to kind of put a lynch
pin in the dark the Dark Tower series because the
Talisman and Black House are rooted in the world of
(48:31):
the Dark Tower. So he's gonna kind of wrap up
the those not that that's gonna end the Dark Tower series,
but it's gonna wrap up that that series and its
tie to the Dark Tower because like in the Black
(48:52):
in Black House, uh, Roland is actually mentioned in it.
I think I mentioned that I told that to you
when I was reading it. And one of the characters
that was introduced in The Talisman, you find out, uh,
is in that in the in the other universe that
(49:12):
takes place in is an actual gun slinger, So it's
kind of cool that way too. And the kid that
was in Talisman he grew he grows up to be
a cop and his other that he has h that
well would have had because he that makes some specialistm't
(49:33):
actually have another doesn't actually uh because it doesn't exist.
Is kind of a modern day gun slinger, but obviously
in the real world. But when he transitions over into
the world of the of the Dark Tower that what
they refer as the territories in that uh, he takes
on the persona of a gunslinger, which is pretty rad.
(49:56):
Yeah so but yeah, so that's the big new there.
And then he was just saying he wants to take
a break while he's still healthy and like spend time
you know, away from his computer, Dora, writing books and
just kind of you know, living his life as Bessie
can at the his older age. So kind of depressing
(50:20):
to think about, but also like, you know, it's better
that he takes that time and you know, hopefully doesn't
leave anything unfinished, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
But good for him.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Yeah, So that was kind of kind of cool, but
also kind of sad in a way because it's like
just makes me think like there.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Could be a day where he just stops writing.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Yep, for for for many reasons, but one in particular.
That'll that'll be bad for my mental health for sure, definitely.
But yeah, uh, I don't think there's anything else I.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Found speaking of Stephen King.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
The last thing I'll say is, uh, you already know
is like I really hated the way that Subterranean Press
tweeted or not tweeted out, but sent out that email.
I don't you probably got it, but the way I
read it it was like very because obviously I texted
you guys, I was like, oh, my god, Subterranean Press
actually has a sign in Stephen King book because he
doesn't sign, he doesn't do that type of stuff. But
(51:26):
it was literally the way that the what got me.
What got me was like the literally the way it
was written, which was fun.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
What was the book even? It was I had delete
the email, but it was.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
Basically like such and such by Stephen King signed, and
I was like, oh my god, he actually went through
and signed a bunch of these books. It wasn't until
I went into the uh went to the website.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
That it was like signed by the artist and.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
It's like, oh, well, that's misleading because the email said
such and such book by Stephen King signed. Yeah, didn't
put signed by the artist in there.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
It was just.
Speaker 1 (52:18):
Signed clickbaited you in an email, buddy.
Speaker 2 (52:21):
Clickbaite me into an email exactly.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
And the price for what I was sitting there like
because what I said it was was like two twenty five.
I'm like for a signed Stephen King. No, well, I
almost just purchased it and it was still available. That
was the That was the thing that was like rock
in my world. I was like, hous is signed by
Stephen King and still available either I got in really
(52:43):
early or there's something wrong here, and reading through more
of the description, it was like, yeah, signed by the artist,
and I was like, fuck.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
Off, guys.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Yeah, it was as a Firestarter fire Starter Yeah.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
I was like, ugh, like, I really like the novels
that you do and the artwork that these guys do
subtrading impress, but whoever worded that one, it got me
and I don't.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
Enjoy it, you sons of bitches. The cover is pretty cool, though,
it makes it look like it's actually light like burning.
That's fucking cool as well. Wrap around dust Jackie illustration,
illustrated slipcase sumptuous interior illustration. What is that that sounds sexual?
Speaker 2 (53:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (53:36):
You definitely didn't read the whole email for sure.
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Are you reading the email right now?
Speaker 1 (53:42):
Yeah, he's pulled it up out of the trash. What
does so It says three in stocks signed limited edition
fire Starter by Stephen King, which is what you probably read.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
That's what I read.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
Yeah, but the email goes down and says limited limited,
one thousand, numbered copies in slipcases, signed by the artist.
This edition is not signed by Stephen King. Yeah. Yeah,
so Joe jumped the gun. But I understand like, if
I would have seen that, I probably would have clicked
on an automatically because.
Speaker 3 (54:09):
It's like, you're not going to hesitate, Like it's signed
by Stephen King and he never does this ship much
it is. You didn't say signed by the artist in
the same sentence. You literally said fire Starter by Stephen
King signed. That was the end of the sentence.
Speaker 1 (54:26):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (54:29):
You had to put in the body of the sentence
or a body of the email. Oh, by the way,
this is not signed by Stephen King. It's like, no,
I'm not going to hesitate to read the rest of
the email. If it's an actual signed, physical copy of
a really cool edition of Firestarter from Subterranean Press, to
(54:49):
go see how much it is. I hope they got
a lot of flak from that because.
Speaker 1 (54:58):
Because it got me yep yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
And it's funny too, because like I'm trying to find
it where it's at. I was back in April. I
missed out on it. I believe. I have to check.
I doubt. I doubt they're fucking still there. But they
actually did a h an edition of John Dies at
the end and it was signed by uh Jason, the
(55:24):
actual author.
Speaker 2 (55:25):
Yeah, I do believe.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
I ran across that to us shortly after I had
read uh, John dies at the end.
Speaker 2 (55:34):
But yeah, I believe you're right.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
He was probably I think it was out by the
time that was talk, by the time that I had
even seen it myself.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
So yeah, yeah, I saw your your message, and then
right after your next messag was like, oh, okay, well I'm.
Speaker 3 (55:50):
Not Yeah, because I because when I hit the page
for the book and read and saw the price and
went that doesn't sound right, and then read.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
The description where it was like a signed by the artist.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
I'm like, well, you miserable Satis.
Speaker 3 (56:04):
Looked like an ass, which is not hard to do.
In front of my friends, it's not hard to do.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
But that's not the point, Joe, that's not the point.
That's not the point anyway.
Speaker 2 (56:19):
That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (56:20):
Okay, that me too, So that's it for this week's episode.
Comes naturally. We have been I've been Cody, and as usual,
you fuckers just came naturally.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
Bye.
What's a happening?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Nothing, what's happening with you?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Good?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yeah? Right?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
All right?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Then all right then okay, yeah, I'm gone, We'll good go.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't all I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I think I like Halloween Town as well. First off,
I have to double check to see what it is,
but I vaguely, I believe I vaguely do remember it,
and it's one of those dumb Halloween movies that I actually.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Like, none terrible. Nah, you're wrong, No, you should watch it.
It's on Disney.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, I know it's on Disney because it's a Disney movie.
And they made a sequel to it, Halloween Town too,
Halloween Harder Town Harder.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah. Well they're both trash can movies.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
So but no butts no, oh no, there's a butt. No,
there's a butt. There is.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, let's hear it. What is it? It's incorrect, but
go ahead.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
But hocus Pocus is a great movie.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm Mike.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No you're not arguing it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I'm agreeing with you and saying that Mike's hatred of
it is unwarranted.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, and it's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying like that is the.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
The butt in there is that there is something that
we can agree on that hocus Pocus.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Is a fantastic movie.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, rewatch Halloween Town and tell me that that movie
is not trash. There's only one good thing about Halloween Town,
and that's hard to say, and it's Benny the cab driver. Okay,
and he's in it for like maybe two minutes total,
(01:58):
So boom whom it says like you just proved something.
I did prove something. Watch it trash. I'm pretty sure
Halloweentown was a Disney Channel movie, so it is an
unfair comparison to Hoky's Focus Was, which was released in theaters.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I'm actually looking at this and this is not the movie.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm thinking. Yeah, see, so you're you're you're incorrect in
your statement, Joe, because you were false buying your stay
at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm looking this up because I believe Halloween Town was.
It was a good movie that I've watched. But now
I'm looking at it and it's not the movie I'm
thinking of.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Mm hmmm, it can't be because Halloween Town is garbage.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't remember what the movie was.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Speaking of Halloween movies that are on Disney Plus now, uh,
that are terrifying and apparently made for kids, which I
don't think it is. But Something Wicked this Way comes
is now on Disney Plus.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I'm trying to remember. I know I've seen that. I
think I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, So if anyone's out there wants to watch an
actual terrifying child kids movie that's not The Black Cauldron,
then something was Wicked this way comes as is on
Disney Plus. Now.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
No, I don't think I've seen.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
This movie, but this was written back in the day,
the nineteen eighty three is least what it says here,
where horror movies like even childhood scary movies were like
proper scary stuff. You know, this was back in the
day before any anybody knew about you know, like PTSD
and your child, you.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Mean making them ready for adulthood, making him.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Ready for adulthood. I guess everything is that you know
as an adult is scary. Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well, so the thing is what's wild to me that
they made this movie, right, is it's based on Ray
Bradbery novel.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's what I see.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, so like automatically, you probably shouldn't make this for kids.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Why not Ray Bradberry, you know, did Star Trek.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I mean, yeah, that's sorry, totally different person. Ray Bradberry,
on the other hand, was the science fiction and horror novelist. Yes, yeah,
so you know, I don't know if that's the best
way of doing it, but you know, teach at the time.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And that's what I mean by this is like, when
did RoboCop come out?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It was it eighty four.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Rouble Cop. I'm an all iges, I don't want mode
a im go eighty seven Cop was eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
They made action figures out of this Rambo, same idea
they made. They both made Actually they made a cartoon
out of rope Cup as well, and then made action figures.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
They made.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Into a cartoon and made action action figures, which I
still have somewhere. My point is it is like that's
what childhood was in the eighties, was, Hey, here's something.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Awful.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Rateed are Actually I don't even know what this way was.
Something we could this way comes is that what rating
was at? Either way they looking up right now, I'm
looking up right now. But either way they take something
that is purely uh it's PG, purely adult, definitely scary
(05:50):
and They're like, how can we make more money off
of this. Let's let's sell it as a children's thing.
Oh it makes sense within that that age.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm just saying, don't be pussies and make your and
have your kids watch. I'm not saying, have your kids
watch Faces of Death. But something wicked this week comes
not that traumatic. I mean, come on now, don't don't
(06:24):
be don't be raising a bunch of whossies.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What's the plot of this movie?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Small Town Small a small American town. Jesus that diabolical
circus and its demonic proprietor prey on the townsfolk Dark's
pandemonium Carnival arrives in Green Town. I do vaguely remember that,
But at the same time, this literally sounds like a
combination of what was it?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's not the Cape?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Is it something about I don't know, I remember, don't
remember something about a circus.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It says that to me Orton and then needful Things.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I mean, there's been a lot of carnival based movies. Yeah,
Vampires Apprentice, I think it's called with John c Riley
that technically has a circus. I believe in it, but
Jonathan Price is in it. Bro, like, there's so many
(07:28):
it's so good. I try to explain that Page hasn't
seen it before. Doesn't shock anybody that knows.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Her, right, I mean, this was wave of her her time.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, I mean it's not like I saw this in theaters.
I was fucking too when it came out.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
But but this was definitely something you probably saw on TV.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh yeah, for sure, dog. I think I think we
actually rented it on VHS back in the day, and
it's probably.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Something I've saw on TV as well, but just don't
remember it.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Mhm.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Just saying, man, if you want to watch something spooky
for Halloween and it's not Halloween Town.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And it's hocus Pocus. Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Speaking of facing your fears, Joe return.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
To Oz.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Again another another childhood movie that is scary at parts.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Oh yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Uh, Page actually faced the fear of hers last night.
We were trying to find a scory movie to watch
and she wanted to actually watch the newer Nightmare on
ELM Street.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I would think that it would be a movie right
up her reality, which.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
She dates Freddy Krueger. Okay, so back in the day
when she saw this when she was younger, obviously, she
saw Nightmare Elm Street the Og and had nightmares for
like an entire summer where Freddy was killing her over
and over in her dreams.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I mean, I suppose that's a bad thing to dream about.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So, I mean she's always been a she's always ah.
And so we watched it and I was like, well,
someone's probably not like to me, it's not as like
terrifying because like he's more menacy and just kind of
brutal in this one. And she's watching it and she's like, oh,
you know, I think I've seen parts of this. I'm like, yeah,
you probably watched it and shut it off because you
were too afraid.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That's what I don't understand about this statement.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I didn't know that she was that she did not
like Freddy Krueger, that she had problems with it as
a kid because she's so terrifier.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, terrifiers different though terrifiers.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Ye, But to me, it's still the same thing. It's
still very.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Gory, it's true, but like you know, and scary psychologically,
slasher film psychologically.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I can understand psychologically as a kid, you know, you're
much different back then. I mean, I don't know how
many scary movies as well. No, I watched a fair
bit scary movies when I was a kid, actually, but
to be fair like, one that has stuck with me,
like I remember watching as a kid and not liking
was and I've I know I've stated this before, was
(10:27):
the how I think it's called House the Houses or
something like that, about a writer who inherits a a
house from his aunt or something that killed herself in it,
and he goes the move into it and turns out
it's haunted by like all shit tons of other ghosts
and stuff and he's got like unresolved business with some
(10:49):
Vietnam era blah blah blah ghost I remember watching that
on like WGN back in the day, and it was
a scary fucking movie back then. But I'd watch it
now and be like, yeah, whatever, I mean, that was
just okay.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, So I suppose you're right.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
You know, as a kid, she could have watched you know,
Nightmare in Elm Street. I know I watched it when
I was a kid, but it didn't really affect me
in the same way. And then coming back to it now,
it would be like, Okay, that wasn't so bad.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Speaking of scary things. What did you just buy yesterday?
It was such a weird I will, I will admit this.
It was such a weird thing because what was it
Friday night?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You know?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I got home and I'm eating some ice cream and
watching some TV because it's Friday and I don't have
to go to bed right away.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I can be thirty exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Adam walks up and he's like, hey, h Cody texted
me and saying that he might need need the truck.
And I was like, I'm sorry, Cody texted you directly,
that's weird. What is going on? And he's like, I
don't know, Coldy just wonder if re wondering if he
could use the truck. I was like okay, and then nothing,
radio silence, and it's just like, all right, I guess
(12:18):
whatever he needed it for, either it's not now or
or he doesn't need anymore. And then the freaking picture
that you sent yesterday of a dismembered skeleton sitting in
the I don't even know which vehicle you're written, because
that just looked it was just packed in there.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It was Marvin. Yeah, God, damn, you guys stuffed Marvin.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Then yeah, so I don't know if you remember page
texted you texted the group last week or whatever. She
won a twelve foot skeleton in the contest.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Oh, I forgot about that. Okay, Yes, I did forget
about that.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So it was from a dispensary.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So the lady she was communicating with that was running
the contest said hey, on Friday, you can pick this
up at any time from the one in the young Town.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So I went online and I looked at the size
the measurements of the box, and I casually, not really
accurately measured the back of the Kia, the Kia Soul,
and I was like, there's no fucking chance this box
(13:36):
is fitting there. So Paige asked Mike at one point, Hey, like,
you know, can we use your truck for truck stuff?
And he said sure. Well, I didn't plan on working
as late as they did on Friday, and then we
ran out of time, and I was like, well, I
don't Mike's already at home, probably playing Madden for like
the fifteenth time to day. I don't want to fucking
(13:56):
bother him to drive all the way out here, So
let's go down there. We'll see if we can get
it in Marvin's. We put Marvin's back seat down, thinking
there's no fucking chance because we didn't know for sure
it was the same skeleton from from Home Depot, right, yeah,
because it just says twelve foot skeleton, which you don't
know if that's.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Just a generic thing, yeah, if it is a specific.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Thing, yep. So well I was like, well, whatever, there's
no fucking chance that like box is gonna fit because
like it's like three and a half inches whiter than
the that the opening of the actual back of the Kia.
So I'm like, well, there's no fucking chance. So we
go down there and they have no idea what we're
talking about. They're like, yeah, no, uh, we know the
contest happened, we didn't get any notification about anybody winning,
(14:40):
and we don't have a twelve foot skeleton.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh that's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah. So we're like, oh cool, because she's in the email.
The lady specifically said you can pick it up anytime
on Friday at the young Town.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Cure Leaf, but no one informed.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So we're like okay, and then like right when we
got there, the nightman had just gone on break and
so he had gone he had left, and so they
couldn't get ahold of him. Obviously he's on his break.
I don't want him to fucking go and get him
off his break, right, It's a fucking dick move. So
he's the one guy's like, hey, like you back in
(15:17):
like thirty minutes. You guys want to come back, And
I'm like, okay, so whatever, we're leaving. I told Page
email this lady and be like, hey, the young town
one has no fucking clue what you're talking about. Obviously
don't use fucking but they have no idea of talking about.
Like we're just trying to get some clarification, like is
(15:39):
it there, you know, can we pick it up whatever.
So she emails back yesterday morning saying, oh, hey, there
was a mistake. It's at the Scottsdale location.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Good god, Okay, that's a bit of a mistake.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah. Yeah, So I have a feeling it was sent
there because that's the biggest one in town, and then
it was both might have been like sent over, but
they just never did it anyway. So the reason I
texted Adam is because I knew Adam obviously is a
lot closer than Mike would be. Well, no, no, this
(16:15):
is for last night or for Friday.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So I was like, well to Scottsdale Chandler than yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So then I was like all right, whatever, and then
we ended up not doing anything because we couldn't get
the clarification that night if we could pick it up
or not until the morning, the until Saturday morning, and
I happened to be off on Saturday this week, so
I was like, fuck, it's drive down. Their worst case
scenario would take him out of the box and just
shove him in the back. We get their box define
(16:45):
does not fit whatsoever any any close close fucking regulation
of fitting in the back of this fucking kiya. Uh
So we disassembled him and threw him the back and
that's what your picture you saw, was disassembled to foot
skeleton chilling in the back. Yep. So that was our venture.
(17:09):
And then we we went and looked around that, we
did some We ate Ramen at Romenhood over in Scottsdale's
a new one. Yeah, it's been there for a while.
I've seen it. Yeah, it's actually not bad. It's cool.
It's like a quick serve ramen place you can go in.
There's a little kioski you kind of build you can
choose to already pre built one or you can build
your own. It was pretty pretty solid, and they give
(17:32):
you a lot of protein in it too, Like there
was like I got tariaki chicken and there was like
quite a bit of chicken in there. I was like, dangs,
is crazy for fucking good.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Because I love ramen.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
But a lot of times you go to places and
you're like, oh, I'll take the one with like the
beef you know, the I forgot what they call it,
but the base and you know, the beef slices in it,
and You're like, they get two beef slices, and I'm like,
could I have a little bit more protein please? Yeah,
So that's nice to give you a lot more there.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, it was cool. I was like, oh, all right, alright,
all right, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So is the skeleton going in the front yard in
the backyard?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Is this like, No, he's gonna go in the front yard?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Sure, in the front yard?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
No? Well, well, I mean no, he will be in
the front yard and then we will have to figure
out what he's going to be doing. Yeah the rest
of the time.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Hey, you don't have to get a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's true. It's true.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
In the living room, just decorating with lights.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We could put half of them living rooms a twel
foot tall skeleton. Joe.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Oh that's right, you don't have twelve foot tall ceilings.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, man, I could cut a hole in the ceiling
and we can fit him in. You know.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Options yea, options.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, so I don't really know how that's gonna happen
just yet, but you know, we'll play by your figure
out what happens.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
And that's what I mean. You could keep him out
at least for the next few months. You can decorate
him as a pilgrim, you know, a little hat on him,
a little uh find a little U skeleton turkey that
you could in front of him, and then for Christmas
just just thress him up like Sandy Clause.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
And then you don't have to worry about it for
the next three months.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah. Yeah, because the original like back the pages and
wanting the skeleton for fucking years since it came out.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Oh yeah, I remember this for years of just like, hey,
can we go a look at it at at at
home depot?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, sure, we can go stare at it for a
little while.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It's so funny too, because not not to like talk.
I was gonna say something else. I'll get to the minute,
but like a couple of months ago, because I could
swore that skeleton was more expensive before, which is wild
that it was.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
The first year, Like I guarantee you first year, this
thing was like almost a thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, it was like definitely.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Less than that, but I think it was like five
or like five hundred bucks or something like four ninety
nine or some nonsense. And I was like, that just
seems like a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yes, And but over the years, like it's probably dropped
in price.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
This is one of those things that they probably manufactured
like shit ton way back in the day.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
They're still probably selling through the l.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And that's the thing is they've actually upgraded it to
have like animated eyes, like they're digital eyes that like
do they can change them and whatever and they can
blink and shit. So I was like, well, you would
think that would cost cause the price to go up. Yes,
it's actually gone down, I'm pretty sure, because I don't
think it was ever three ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
But you've already got the molds and you only make
this like once a year, so once they are and
d out of is out of the way, and the
molds are already made. You know, you made probably a
decent amount of money on your first your first printing
of it, and like I said, you probably still have
some of them that are that have been there from
you know, previous Halloweens. And then they just are like, hey,
we can upgrade this with an extra little thing and
(20:50):
it doesn't really cost us much more to actually do.
They probably took some digital eyes that they had meant
that they had are indeed for a different Halloween thing
and just slapped those in.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Probably yeah, just it's just weird because like that's usually
not what happens. They're usually like, oh, yeah, upgraded features.
Here's Yeah. So a couple of months ago, well months ago,
a couple of weeks ago now it seems like it
was in September, I believe, so a month ago when
it when Halloween stuff started showing up in stores. We
(21:24):
went looked and uh, they actually had them in stock,
which is very very uncommon because they sell out pretty quickly.
And like we almost pulled the trigger to buy it.
I was like, well, we could buy it, like you
know whatever, and she was like no, no, it's just
wait and I was like all right whatever. Yeah. So
(21:47):
then like literally like we went like she like thought
it over for like like a week or something, and
she's like, okay, let's go get it. So we go
down to the home depot and they don't have any
And I was like, of course, this is what would happen. Yep, yeah, yep, Okay,
the moment you're.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Ready to pull the trigger on something that you think
other people are just done buying by now, nah, someone
scooped the last one out from under you. Is just
left the place just as you walked in.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah. So then I was like, right, whatever. So then
we were like two or three weeks ago, we were
the Young Town Cure Leaf. No, not a sponsor, and uh,
if it can be, yeah, if you want to, we
we have space. They uh they had on the the
the TV and the lobby area where you do your
(22:39):
online orders and stuff. Uh was rotating a thing on
there and it's like, hey, win this twelve of skeleton
scan this QR code. Right, So we both did it,
me knowing that R and Jesus is never gonna look
down down kindly on me for some strange reason and
not give me the chance to win it, because why
be why let what me be the fucking savior for
once and get the win and the cool thing. So
(23:03):
what was funny about it is, for some reason I
was able to get the link to work pretty quickly.
Then page wasn't the web The web page wouldn't load.
So we get back in the car. I finished signing
up for it. She's doing her thing and I was like, hey,
don't forget to sign up for that. She's like, I
don't know if it'll work. So it opens up and
it worked, so then she signed in and she's like, well,
(23:25):
I wasn't gonna do that since you did it, and
I was like, yeah, it's better off you know, both
of us try it.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
So last skip forward in time, last Sunday, you and
I are recording this year podcast, not this episode obviously,
and she messaged me says, hey, when you're done, come
in here. You won't believe what contest I won. And
I had forgotten what it was, and she's like, hey,
going there, She's like, hey, like guess what I went? Honest,
(23:52):
Like what is it? She's like, remember that thing we entered.
I'm like, we fucking innershit all the time, Like just
what is it? And she shows me the email, it
shows like you can try relations. She won the twelve
foot skeleton. I was like, oh my fucking god, dude,
after like four years or something of wanting this fucking
thing and just like not getting it because like didn't
want to spend you know, three hundred dollars or whatever
(24:14):
on a fucking giant skeleton, yeah, she fucking wins one.
And I was like, of course she does.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Ridiculous So page has that that type of like, oops,
I won something.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Ability fucking do stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, wild dude.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So the Pokemon stuff too.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
You and hert could be buying the same amount of
Pokemon cards, you know, packs, out of the same area,
and then she just happened to be like, oh, look
at this really cool one, dude, that's worth like four
hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Anyway, let me open mind anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Nothing, Yeah, like I have cards that cost me money.
I'm like, what the fuck is exactly one just written
handwritten U OE us money. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Damn you Nintendo Nyantic or whoever a Pokemon company.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, Pokemon companies. Nintendo Nyanik is just the app builder
for the Pokemon garea. So yeah, so that was the
adventure yesterday and hence the reason I messaged Adam, because
I was like, if we have to go down there,
like maybe it'd be easier fucking to just get someone
who lives closer enough to us without having to drive
(25:21):
from damn near California border to you know, to us. Yeah.
Plus I don't know, like yeah, you know what I mean.
So like I was like, well, whatever, and then you know,
we got the email yesterday morning, Hey, you can pick
up the skatal one anytime they know you're coming in.
We double checked it. I was like, a fucking course.
(25:42):
And then I'm like, and he's gonna be away driving
to a fucking Wickenberg to get burgers. I was like, God,
damn it. Whatever, And so I was like, he's going
to back Marvin one way or the other. Yeah, right,
So he's currently in pieces still in the back and
going to put them together.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Had we not gone to Wickedburg, it would have we
would have done it. I mean, yeah, it would have
been fun.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It would just a matter of been a matter of
whether the truck was charged up enough. But even if
it wasn't, uh probably would have fit in the back
of the.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Chiem No dode that box is wide. Brother, that book
was wide Okay yeah, yeah, I don't remember the measurements now, probably,
But is that box is because the whole thing, the
thing about it is the skeleton parts aren't don't take
that much room, right, there's skeleton parts. Yeah. What actually
(26:37):
makes that box so wide is the base, because it's
one solid piece.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
M m yeah, I mean that makes sense, but it's
weird that they would like, no, I guess you would
have to.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Have aunt nevermind. Yeah, yeah, you're.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Right, because I was thinking of like the base would
just be like one long piece, but it's probably like
long and also wide. So like the box it self,
like you're saying, is literally sized to the base, not
sized to the skeleton.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, because you open up and the skeleton parts are
separated by cardboard pieces to keep them from rubbing obviously
in shipping, right and like, but then you get to
the bottom and it has this fucking base and I
was like, oh, that is the reason this box is
so fucking big, right, and it has to be tall
because of all the pieces stacked on top of it.
But I was like, oh, okay, okay, okay, I see
(27:28):
I see this. This makes a lot more sense because
I was like, man, what the fuck is in this?
And then I was like, oh, the base is one
solid piece and it is I want to say it
was something like thirty eight inches wide or something like
that was what the box was might be a little bit.
(27:49):
I came er measure what was I looked it up
the other night in a rush, and I was like,
just took a measure out to tape measuring and to
the back of Marvin. I was like, there's no fucking
chance because the opening of my technically would be big enough,
but the plastic molding that hides the frame of the
car comes in more and I'm like, yeah, all right,
(28:09):
well clear that's not happening. So anyways, he got this,
he got put in there in pieces. Uh So like
when you it's so funny when you walk up to
the car, like you look through the windshield and you're like, oh,
that's a vertebrae.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Is it still in the car? I mean, I guess it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I didn't want to bring it out and dragging the house,
so it's left it in the.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Only to it outside again the next day.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, So it makes sense. And the cool thing is
like it doesn't even really need tools to put together.
That the the the the structure that holds it to
the metal skeleton. Funny part that the plastic skeleton goes
around is just those like lock pins, you know, and
you put it in, has that pressure pin pooms in,
(28:57):
so like the only screws that are in it are
eye lit screws for the anchors, so like you like,
I was like, oh, I don't even because originally I
was just gonna like we were gonna cord. I was
gonna get my tools from my van and then put
it together. And then I was looking at the instructions.
I was like, nowhere on here does it say anything
about needing like duel, like it like Phillip's head or
(29:18):
or or Alan wrench or fucking hex key, whatever you
want to call it, none of those. I was like,
what the hell's usually say like, hey, these are the
tools you're gonna need, you know, plyers and like whatever. Right,
So I'm looking at and then I'm like, Okay, how
the fuck does this thing go together? So I'm looking
through the list, the part list, and nowhere does it
say like screws. It just says, uh is lit screws.
(29:40):
And I was like, well, those are in the picture,
and I was like, that's for the anchors. Then Page
looks down and she goes oh, and she presses on
a little button. I was like, holy shit, this is
all just fitted right in. That's fucking cool. Hell, that's
really nice.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah down.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah. So I was like okay. And then and on
the we didn't save any part of the boxes on
the boxes like set up instruction Size took pictures of it,
and I was like, well, and they were kindly enough
to take the giant fucking box from us to throw away.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I mean, they have a their business. They'll have a
giant trash can that they just throw things into and
just get rid of it. But that's also good for
you guys, because it's not a giant box that you
have to deal with throw things away.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But yeah, we were up in Wickenberg. It was fun
my parents, it's all.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
It was so.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Weird to talk about that this past week. As as
last Sunday. Apparently my mom had seen Capital Burger or
something something bother whatever it is fully called in Wickenberg
on TV, and so we were over there last weekend.
She was like, you know, you guys want to go
(30:53):
next Saturday, because apparently they're closed on Sundays. Otherwise we
probably would have gone Sunday. And we were like, yeah, yeah,
that sounds like fun.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
We can do that.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
And Adam was like, hey, you know, we can take
the truck up there. So he had it fully charged
and everything. It's been a while since I've been to Wickenberg,
and God damn, I just driving around there gives me anxiety.
I didn't, you know, even not me driving, but Adam
driving is f one fifty lightning, you know, throughout fucking
(31:23):
small ass streets and he's just going, you know, everywhere.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I'm just anxietied out just because of that.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
But you've been to the Burger place because you've done
work up there, it almost seems like that's a converted
gas station. Like it is a converted gas station. Jesus Christ.
The thing is right there on the corner. We almost
drove past it because the map was just like, oh yeah,
it's just up around the corner. And then suddenly it's there,
(31:51):
right there. Adam was just like, oh, shit's right there.
Just have to fucking turn. And then it was like
where we park here, you know, just so because so
I don't block this other dude in but yeah, all right,
so we parked and went in, and uh, it's actually
a cool little store. On the inside. They have a
lot of uh I guess, local stuff that they make there,
(32:17):
you know, not not necessarily from Capital Farms, but from
other places around their gyms, turkeys and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Yeah, I went with just the double smashed with a
smash classic, the double burger size.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
My only complaint with the place.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I actually technically have like two slight complaints. Well one
one kind of major complaint, one slight complaint. The major
complaint is, uh, you certain a burger with no fries?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Like I even get up there, I'm looking at the menu.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I had looked at it previously, but I only looked
at it really as for what they have for.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like burgers and and stuff, and so I have them.
I'm looking at their meny and I'm like, okay, there's
the burger. You know, go with this, and you know.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Let me just do a classic, like I want to
make sure that I get acid reflex, and so I'm like,
you know, maybe just a classic double classic will be
pretty good. And I'm like, okay, sides sizes, you see chips,
you know, that's weird. And so we get up there and.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
It's like, you know, I'll take the burger and do
you guys have fries?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
And he goes, no, we just have chips, blah blah blah,
and I was just like, all right, I guess.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I'll take chips, just salted chips, you know.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
So I got You know, it's cool that they have
like the giant cokes glass bottle cokes, so I do
appreciate that because those are always good. But no fries.
That's my major complaint. Like you you do burgers, but
no fries.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Hell is this place?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Cows don't produce French fries, buddy.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But they don't produce potato chips either.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, but you know that's something they can procure.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
They are bagged, like the potato chips weren't made there
were obviously, and I don't even remember the brand. I
didn't actually meet them. They're they're actually sitting in the
front of the of the truck right now. It meant
to give me yesterday, and it's like that's right there
in the front of the truck.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
So yeah, whatever, I lead so far away.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
So far away.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
But so there are probably some maybe local brand or
something like that, so I could definitely see you know,
that's kind of a reason.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's one thing that they don't have to make their whatever.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
My only other small complaint it's how fucking greasy those
things were. Like they're good, don't get me wrong, but
where grease grease ended and like cheese began.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It's the problem with smash burgers though, because everything.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Just melted into each other, like the even they use
beef tallow there and they use it on everything.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Like I know that the burger is probably cut with
beef tallow, you know, like when.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
They when they burgerize it, they just cut it with
beef tallow. But then the buttons themselves are actually grilled
on the grill in beef tallow, and so everything is
just like beef tallow.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
So I didn't even realize that you could get a.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Combo and the combo comes with the cookie, and the
cookie instead of having butter, has beef.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Tallow in it.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
So like Adam got that and he took a couple
of bites out of this and he's like this is good. Also,
weirdly has coconut edit, and I was like, well, hold
on that looks like a chocolate chip cookie. He's like, yeah,
but chocolate chip and coconut, but it's not a whole
lot of coconut. I'm like, well, you already not sold
me on this because it has coconut in it.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
But he's looking at the ingredients and it's like, yeah,
beef tallow and he's like, yep, I can only eat
a little bit of this before it's just way too much.
We almost thought, I will say though, in the actual
store thing, we were looking at the meats that they
had there for sale, and for being a boots cheek
Ish meat place, a pound of ground beef was eight
(36:06):
ninety nine and that's what I can go get at fries.
And I almost bought a pound of ground beef there
just to make burgers in the future. My only I
only didn't because after a while it was just like,
I don't I don't know if I want to deal
with as much beef tallow and grease.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah. So it's a little different when you're not using
just like an an olive oil or something to cook
your burger, and there there or butter, because butter doesn't butter.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
It would be grilling them. So they wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
That bad, Yeah, because you're not you're not smashing them,
so they're not they're not cooking and sitting in their
own grease exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, but I don't know after eating the burger, because
that all that was.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
But that and it's also one of those things where
like before the burger, like I hadn't eat breakfast or
anything like that, so I'm like, I'm hungry, and you're
looking at.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
All the stuff and you're like, oh my god, that
looks good.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Well, maybe get a sauce down here and that and that,
and then you get done eating and everyone's like because
everyone was doing the same thing.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
My dad was like, oh do they have like aged
you know, beef in there and whatnot? All let's let's
take a look at the stuff. Oh, maybe we could
do this and that.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
And then everyone got done eating, and everybody it was like,
he do you want to go buy any of the
meets in there? Because my dad had also brought you know,
a cooler, like an active an active cooler cooler, and
we were all just like, no, we think we're done,
Let's go walk around Wickenberg for a little bit.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
So then that's what we did. And that was still
a thing there because again, having not been in Wickenberg
in a very long time, you know they do have
I'm sure somewhere antique stores and whatnot, like a strip
of stores that you could walk down and walk through.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
And we really couldn't find a strip of stores, just
one or.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Two stores that we ended up walking through for pre
antique stuff and it was just like, okay, we're done.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Went home.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Well, went on the way home and then stopped off
at the metal and pottery places on the on the
way back. That's when I texted, you guys, the giant
to xeomorph metal statue there? Uh, And I took another
picture because I thought it was I thought it was funny.
They had a ufo.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
And then little aliens.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Oh yeah, ufo.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I was like, that would be funny. And I was
like mom, because my mom was that that not that
type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
But she if you look at her backyard, she has
she does have a bunch of like metal you know,
stuffs hanging off the the walls of the backyard and
little humming those like hummingbird glow things back there.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Something.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
You know, they have a nice yard to just be
able to sit back there and just be like, you know,
this is nice. So that's what she was looking for.
She was looking for a metal turtle back there, but
we couldn't find one. We just could only find like
pottery versions. But I saw the alien. I was like, yeah, mom,
you should get that for the backyard.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
It's like a turtle.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
It's like a turtle.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah, they're sort of reptilely exactly.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
You have like a thing with legs and that's the UFO,
and then you have those sort of reptile alien things.
There was an alien there at the beginning when you
walk right in that that was in like sexy, lay
down pose.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh the like the like Jeff Goldman from fucking Yes Yes.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
From Drastic Park.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Yeah yeah, so I thought that was funny, but we
couldn't find it, and then we just went home after that.
So it was quite the day. It's fun ish. Yeah,
I'm not one of those types of people that can
walk through vintage stuff and just look at buying that
(39:45):
type of kiach stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Though.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, it's a it's like it's a weird thing. Sometimes
to me too, it's like, I don't none of this
makes me feel good about it.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
The other funny thing that we were passing through. The
one antique store really that we passed through was they
had like a small cabinet and they had like an
old DS and their PlayStation one, uh super Nintendo, and
they're all like one hundred something bucks. And my dad
was like, what's this stuff doing in here? That's not vintage?
(40:21):
And I looked at him.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Like, no, no, that is the vintage stuff now.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
The other stuff is the vintage stuff that was older
vintage that people don't want. This is the new vintage
here from my generation, my generation. This is the vintage stuff.
And he's just like oh, okay, yeah and walked off.
But it's like, that's weird to me now that that
(40:46):
is like going to be the thing you'll see. And
you know those vintage stores right next to the your
old Root sixty six stuff you have like Nintendo games
and rttvs and old VHS cam quarters and maybe like
a VHS player or.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Something like that.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah, that is the That is the new old stuff
that you're gonna see.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
The colic bucket full of Nokia fucking T nine phones
and ship they.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Had a bag of Legos.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
They're just like, here's a bag of Legos by a
bag of Legos. It's like, yeah, that is the new
old vintage stuff that that these types of places will
be selling, and it's just gonna get bigger or more
of I might like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
God, I'm too old for this ship, like this is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Yeah. That was basically that was That was That was Wickenberg.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
I know that we still I still need to plant
out the h the Jerome trip sometimes.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
That'll probably. That's obviously pushed till November.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Now.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
I just gotta think it would have been oddly perfect
had I got it out this month, because obviously you've
had two Saturdays off.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Oh it's like, well, no to every other saturdays the
other Saturday.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
And it's like, oh, well that would have been almost perfect.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yeah, I know about that. Well, if I hadn't known
about it ahead of time too, other than Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Planned about a lot better. But you know, whatever, whatever
happens happens.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
If he dies, he dies, Yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
So that'll probably that's seeming like it's gonna be pushed
back into November.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Then that's I would say.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Yeah, right, get to it eventually. But that's basically it.
I don't I'm trying to think of anything else that
they did this week. I didn't do it. Do much
else this week besides.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Work, m that's pretty much it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and
do much else work and work and then going to
get a twelve foot skeleton to cram in the back
of a Kia Soul.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Oh my god, that's still just the fact that she won.
That is just so perfect.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
It's fucking ridiculous, dude.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
It does remind me that I ran across I was
looking for some new hairties because I'm not actually pretty
much out of haardise. They stretch too easily. I ran
across a company called the Long Hairs that well, yeah,
they sell hairtize meant for guys, but they have spooky
themed ones and a few of them actually reminded me
(43:31):
a Paige and I was going to send the link
to it, but one of them was like the Slashers,
and so it had like, you know, uh would be
copyright and distinct Freddy and Jason versus versions. I was like, oh,
Paige probably would like that, not knowing that she was
afraid of freaking Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
I don't know. After last night, maybe she's not as
afraid anymore.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yeah, so maybe she can look at that if she
wants some spooky hair ties, because they had different ones
on there too. They had like ubiamin bundles too. So
there was one that had like a ghost, bats, a
pumpkins and skeleton, and then there was like a whole
skeleton one, and then there was another one that was
(44:17):
the the Slasher one with Freddy Jason, and then they
had like one that was just like Freddy's.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Shirt, you know, oh the sweater yeah, stripes.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah. What was the other one?
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Oh, it was like Franken stran Bankstein, Dracula, Mummy and
whatever woo wear.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Wolf one was.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
It was like, oh, Patri probably really really liked these,
almost sent the link not knowing that probably secure the
ship out or.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Is that Freddy?
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Yeah, it was funny because we went to a Spirit
yesterday over there.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
And Spirit like the new target for you guys.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Well during Halloween it is. And if we got the
Christmas one here, it'd be Christmas time too, I'm sure.
But she always like, whenever you drive by a new
one we haven't been to, she wants to go into it.
So we were in Scottsdale, so I went to the
one over by that best spy and a little tiny
one didn't even have an anatronic setup because it's so
small in there. But right next to like the terrifier
(45:21):
stuff is a whole aisle of just Freddy Krueger stuff.
So like there's literally just masks hanging down, and I'm like,
Jesus Christ thinks a lot of guys. Yeah right, hep moving.
Can you be appropriate and move to the Freddy Krueger
stuff over by the children's costumes? It makes more sense
over there.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Dare you have scary stuff hanging out? How dare you
spirit Halloween?
Speaker 1 (45:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Put that just out in the open. You're gonna scare people.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Je gets it. Joe understands.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 1 (45:57):
Oh my god, yep. So Stephen King announced, Uh, he
has two more books that he's working on and then
he's gonna take a break.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
Good.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
That dude deserves a break. He works way too hard.
He writes like three or four books a year.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Yeah, it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
It took Dan Brown like ten years between his last
book and this one.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
Well, it's because he's a fucking slacker, you know. It's fine.
Uh yeah, So he announced yesterday or day before or
whatever that he will be. The two he's writing and
working on it now. One is a uh, they're both
gonna both books are gonna wrap up three different I
(46:53):
don't want to call him franchises like properties.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
Uh So, one of them is the I guess the
last Holly Gibney book, which is the which started all
with the Mister Mercedes books and then let into Outsider
and then so on and so forth because she was
featured in the Outsider. And then the other one is
(47:25):
the third book in the Talisman trilogy. Ok So, and
that's based on an idea that Peter Straub had before
he passed that they were kind of like kicking around,
but they because King is so fucking prolifically busy, they
(47:45):
kept kind of pushing not pushing off, but like just
kind of delaying. And then unfortunately Peter passed away in
twenty twenty two, so he's been kind of like, you know,
work shopping at more and more. Based on this thought
that Peter had for the wrapping up the trilogy, which
is gonna be two, the reason it's three properties is
(48:06):
because it's also going to kind of put a lynch
pin in the dark the Dark Tower series because the
Talisman and Black House are rooted in the world of
(48:31):
the Dark Tower. So he's gonna kind of wrap up
the those not that that's gonna end the Dark Tower series,
but it's gonna wrap up that that series and its
tie to the Dark Tower because like in the Black
(48:52):
in Black House, uh, Roland is actually mentioned in it.
I think I mentioned that I told that to you
when I was reading it. And one of the characters
that was introduced in The Talisman, you find out, uh,
is in that in the in the other universe that
(49:12):
takes place in is an actual gun slinger, So it's
kind of cool that way too. And the kid that
was in Talisman he grew he grows up to be
a cop and his other that he has h that
well would have had because he that makes some specialistm't
(49:33):
actually have another doesn't actually uh because it doesn't exist.
Is kind of a modern day gun slinger, but obviously
in the real world. But when he transitions over into
the world of the of the Dark Tower that what
they refer as the territories in that uh, he takes
on the persona of a gunslinger, which is pretty rad.
(49:56):
Yeah so but yeah, so that's the big new there.
And then he was just saying he wants to take
a break while he's still healthy and like spend time
you know, away from his computer, Dora, writing books and
just kind of you know, living his life as Bessie
can at the his older age. So kind of depressing
(50:20):
to think about, but also like, you know, it's better
that he takes that time and you know, hopefully doesn't
leave anything unfinished, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
But good for him.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Yeah, So that was kind of kind of cool, but
also kind of sad in a way because it's like
just makes me think like there.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Could be a day where he just stops writing.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Yep, for for for many reasons, but one in particular.
That'll that'll be bad for my mental health for sure, definitely.
But yeah, uh, I don't think there's anything else I.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Found speaking of Stephen King.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
The last thing I'll say is, uh, you already know
is like I really hated the way that Subterranean Press
tweeted or not tweeted out, but sent out that email.
I don't you probably got it, but the way I
read it it was like very because obviously I texted
you guys, I was like, oh, my god, Subterranean Press
actually has a sign in Stephen King book because he
doesn't sign, he doesn't do that type of stuff. But
(51:26):
it was literally the way that the what got me.
What got me was like the literally the way it
was written, which was fun.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
What was the book even? It was I had delete
the email, but it was.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
Basically like such and such by Stephen King signed, and
I was like, oh my god, he actually went through
and signed a bunch of these books. It wasn't until
I went into the uh went to the website.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
That it was like signed by the artist and.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
It's like, oh, well, that's misleading because the email said
such and such book by Stephen King signed. Yeah, didn't
put signed by the artist in there.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
It was just.
Speaker 1 (52:18):
Signed clickbaited you in an email, buddy.
Speaker 2 (52:21):
Clickbaite me into an email exactly.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
And the price for what I was sitting there like
because what I said it was was like two twenty five.
I'm like for a signed Stephen King. No, well, I
almost just purchased it and it was still available. That
was the That was the thing that was like rock
in my world. I was like, hous is signed by
Stephen King and still available either I got in really
(52:43):
early or there's something wrong here, and reading through more
of the description, it was like, yeah, signed by the artist,
and I was like, fuck.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
Off, guys.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Yeah, it was as a Firestarter fire Starter Yeah.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
I was like, ugh, like, I really like the novels
that you do and the artwork that these guys do
subtrading impress, but whoever worded that one, it got me
and I don't.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
Enjoy it, you sons of bitches. The cover is pretty cool, though,
it makes it look like it's actually light like burning.
That's fucking cool as well. Wrap around dust Jackie illustration,
illustrated slipcase sumptuous interior illustration. What is that that sounds sexual?
Speaker 2 (53:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (53:36):
You definitely didn't read the whole email for sure.
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Are you reading the email right now?
Speaker 1 (53:42):
Yeah, he's pulled it up out of the trash. What
does so It says three in stocks signed limited edition
fire Starter by Stephen King, which is what you probably read.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
That's what I read.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
Yeah, but the email goes down and says limited limited,
one thousand, numbered copies in slipcases, signed by the artist.
This edition is not signed by Stephen King. Yeah. Yeah,
so Joe jumped the gun. But I understand like, if
I would have seen that, I probably would have clicked
on an automatically because.
Speaker 3 (54:09):
It's like, you're not going to hesitate, Like it's signed
by Stephen King and he never does this ship much
it is. You didn't say signed by the artist in
the same sentence. You literally said fire Starter by Stephen
King signed. That was the end of the sentence.
Speaker 1 (54:26):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (54:29):
You had to put in the body of the sentence
or a body of the email. Oh, by the way,
this is not signed by Stephen King. It's like, no,
I'm not going to hesitate to read the rest of
the email. If it's an actual signed, physical copy of
a really cool edition of Firestarter from Subterranean Press, to
(54:49):
go see how much it is. I hope they got
a lot of flak from that because.
Speaker 1 (54:58):
Because it got me yep yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
And it's funny too, because like I'm trying to find
it where it's at. I was back in April. I
missed out on it. I believe. I have to check.
I doubt. I doubt they're fucking still there. But they
actually did a h an edition of John Dies at
the end and it was signed by uh Jason, the
(55:24):
actual author.
Speaker 2 (55:25):
Yeah, I do believe.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
I ran across that to us shortly after I had
read uh, John dies at the end.
Speaker 2 (55:34):
But yeah, I believe you're right.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
He was probably I think it was out by the
time that was talk, by the time that I had
even seen it myself.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
So yeah, yeah, I saw your your message, and then
right after your next messag was like, oh, okay, well I'm.
Speaker 3 (55:50):
Not Yeah, because I because when I hit the page
for the book and read and saw the price and
went that doesn't sound right, and then read.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
The description where it was like a signed by the artist.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
I'm like, well, you miserable Satis.
Speaker 3 (56:04):
Looked like an ass, which is not hard to do.
In front of my friends, it's not hard to do.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
But that's not the point, Joe, that's not the point.
That's not the point anyway.
Speaker 2 (56:19):
That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (56:20):
Okay, that me too, So that's it for this week's episode.
Comes naturally. We have been I've been Cody, and as usual,
you fuckers just came naturally.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
Bye.
