Speaker 3 (01:05):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I did like feel you guys going energetically.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
You remind me of like an off brand Barbie.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, something you would get at the dollar store. Yeah. Yeah,
not a bad one. I mean that's just all you
can afford, you know. Damn, how was she catching this early?
It's not a bad it's not bad. It's just discount Barbie.
Are we wearing the same colored shirt?

Speaker 6 (01:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Really are?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
I didn't know that far as discount if brand.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Oh yeah, it's a Mattel. It's hotel. It's Indian. It's
an Indian version. That's Mattel. Just one tea or however
you spell it? Uh and them is backwards upset? What tell?

Speaker 7 (01:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I mean it didn't look bad.

Speaker 8 (01:48):
In fact, from a distance, I saw her like walking
and I didn't RECOGNI I didn't know who it was.
I just saw that and I'm like, oh, who's that. Yeah,
and then it's Catherine. I'm like, oh, hi, Catherine, I
saw walking.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
She's cute.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:00):
And then we went to Starbucks and I said, do
you want anything on star Budge? She goes no, and
then uh, I you know, I remember Eric telling me.
First off, I've been drinking this new tea. I've been
trying to do, like, no coffee this week, but I
still want some something other than water. So they have
water all the time. Uh and uh, So I've been
trying their teas and they have this one tea which
is I didn't realize this. This is also what people

(02:22):
call their medicine ball drink. M oh yeah, but it's
like it's called the honey Citrus Mint tea. It just
sounded good, so.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I've had it. That's the one I was telling you about.

Speaker 8 (02:30):
It's really good. I didn't realize it was the same
thing that everyone was talking about, this medicine ball, but
it is. But the problem is when you go and
order it, they I they get the lava from an
active volcano to heat up the water, and it takes
you about an hour before you can even take one sip. Yeah,
So I remember Eric telling me that you could ask
them to not make it as hot or something like that.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well that was uh, that was like steaming milk.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
But okay, no, I just switched anything because I still
order online extra hot.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I guess they could.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
I guess they could do like regular water temp water
and then just well here's what I did because I
seem it.

Speaker 8 (03:07):
When we walked over there, I said, I was like,
can you do you have anything other than scorched earth?
Temperature of white?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (03:13):
And they go, uh, the lake look very confused, like
what can we do? You know you have a steamer
back there, And that's what she ended up using. She's
the steamer instead of the other one because she goes
the other one's two hundred degrees? Yes, why is it
that hot? I purposely this week have ordered this tea
ten twenty minutes ahead of time, and I wait to
go pick it up because I'm like, it'll be cool
by the time I get it. It's still boiling hot.

Speaker 9 (03:33):
There may be some bad news on that front, though.
Clark was telling me some information about Starbucks this morning.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, have you not heard? No, they're going to be
closing all pick up only locations really pick up only.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yeah, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, And I was what is that?

Speaker 10 (03:50):
Oh, I don't I think it's a I mean, you know,
they're re evaluating their strategy, just like every other company.
I don't know, but I was just I was sitting
there wondering, like, what are they going to do it?
With the planetarium shaped pick up window that they have
down there, it.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Does look like a planetarium arium shaped planetarium. Have you
ever been to a planetarium? I have it. We weren't
rich that like the Yeah, my school district, we had
a planetarium.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Yeah, what do they do talk about planets?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Bingo?

Speaker 10 (04:21):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Mingo wow.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
I figured this.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
The closest kind of like an auditorium and a planet combined.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Auditorium to talk about audits.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 8 (04:36):
The closest thing I've ever seen a planetarium was a
magic school planetarium.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Whatever it is. They didn't tell us how to pronounce it.

Speaker 8 (04:43):
They just showed us the world after they went in
somebody's as they showed us to different planets in the planetarium.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
They just give me very ice cube war of the worlds,
different roads coming together.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Talking about that earlier, you were at the I haven't
seen it yet. You still haven't watched it.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Heard a great thing?

Speaker 8 (04:59):
All right, talk about that for a second, because that's
if anybody wants to watch this. Apparently, what is the
worst movie ever?

Speaker 11 (05:05):
That's what I've heard, but I haven't seen it. An
ice Cube watching The End of the World on his laptop.
I heard it was made during the pandemic, so it
was like one of those lockdown movies and yeah there
was a place really so.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I said, no, so it joins the ranks of border
Lands in quality.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Borderlands was pretty bad.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I didn't see it. It's just like awful. What was
the movie called War the Worlds? You know, the world
like Tom Cruise. Yeah, that's spelled differently.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
That was it?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
With a Z at the end of the world or something, right,
saying the same So I'll get away with that.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
It's a you know, H. G. Wills adaptation of that.

Speaker 12 (05:43):
Oh it is.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
It's just a different versus ice cube version, yes, oh okay, yeah,
a cooler version.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Yeah okay, But what about the actual aliens that are
coming here in.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
The end yet, that's the day of the movie. Is
at the end yet just scouring? Yeah?

Speaker 13 (06:00):
But yeah, we supposedly in two years have a spacecraft
was seven miles long.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
That's supposedly hostile, they said. Somebody told me this.

Speaker 8 (06:09):
I haven't looked this up at all because I'm I'm
too busy, you know, wake me up in.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Seven years busy for aliens? Yeah, I mean they're not
here yet, you know what I mean. I think you're
gonna have to make time. Well, if they're here, I'm
not gonna prep what am I gonna cleaned the house?
They're gonna stay with me? What am I supposed to do?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Right?

Speaker 1 (06:25):
So I'm just living a life until they destroy everything?
And that's fine.

Speaker 8 (06:29):
But somebody told me that they if they would have
taken wherever they took off from, it would have been
the same exact time as when we sent out our
radio signals for the first time, right, is that what
it was? And then they heard, oh it looks sounds
like a new hunting ground, and they get in there
ship and Headn't this that the hill billy space for ye?

(06:55):
And it's from the south.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
They show up. They only have a musket, that's their
only weapon.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Seven mile long, that's it's pretty low. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (07:06):
Pause, I don't know what that looks like though. If
I'm like, if you were to take a seven mile
thing and then put it up in the air.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Have you been to a football game? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (07:15):
Is that a football field? I mean, if I know
you both the lightning, Yeah, they can go seven miles.
Oh lord, exa, what am I going to do with
the aliens? I don't care, you know, content, but I
figured you have, like, I mean, we'll do it show
the week before we'll do our last live show, right

(07:37):
and uh, you know, well we'll cement it somewhere so
that way, you know, civilization ends. I can at least
pull that up and know what we were talking about.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Put it in a time capsule.

Speaker 11 (07:46):
Yeah, if they release where the ship is landing, would
you want to go and see it land?

Speaker 13 (07:51):
No?

Speaker 8 (07:53):
I mean let's if it was it was in thirty miles.
I've seen independence, yes, exactly. If it's somewhere driving distance
within thirty minutes, yes, I'll go see it. Frisco is
landing in Friscott to start Frisco. And actually no, I
wouldn't go because I don't go north to six thirty five.
Now the land's at fair Park.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
I'm there.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
You don't want to wear a little they're gonna give
you at seven eleven, you'll probably buy like a ninety
nine sunglasses.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
They're supposed to protect your eyes, you know what I mean?
That's the special and uh, you go, I want to
do that. I'll do the whole experience because I mean,
that's a once in a lifetime to be fair as
ghetto as Earth is.

Speaker 13 (08:26):
I think they're going to look and keep going because
what what do they really have to stop here for it?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Less they're going to take over. It wouldn't make sense
for them. What if their planet is more ghetto? Have
you thought about that? You ever see District nine we're.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
Talking about maybe they don't even have a plane.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
They blew up right. Maybe think about this.

Speaker 13 (08:43):
If there are extraterrestrial beings with no planet that was
able to get here within X amount.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Of years you're talking about two hundred years.

Speaker 13 (08:51):
It couldn't been two hundred years, one hundred fifty. It
came from the time we sent out whatever.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I was like fifty years.

Speaker 13 (08:56):
Yeah, So we sent them a text message and within
the time I figured it out and said oh we
we we come.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
In by they were already in the ship. They had
nowhere else to go. Their planet exploded. We just picked
up the ping. Well have you not watched Star Trek?

Speaker 7 (09:10):
I have it?

Speaker 10 (09:11):
All right, I was gonna say that, you know, if
it's going to be an issue, maybe we should just
tell Ice.

Speaker 12 (09:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:19):
Then Will Smith is still here. He's working on his
slap and stuff. He'll be the first one here. Well,
he'll welcome to earl here. Yeah, he's still here.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
In the spirit, he's here. Will Smith's always been here.
He just dropped the mixtape. Yeah, he was still the
first rapper to win a Grammy. All right.

Speaker 8 (09:40):
I Will didn't have to cuss in this album record.
Oh he did that, but he said it nice way.
That's a real song.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:47):
Next week we will not be here because a few
of us will be in Las Vegas Star Trek Convention
for shooting a video. Shawn's going and Sean knows nothing
about Star Trek, which is fine. Uh, that's not going
to be the point of the video. We've done that
wait too many time where we bring somebody don't know
about Star Trek and we tried to, hey, here, figure
it out or you know, ask questions or whatever. In fact,
Eric and Clark pretty much did that last year and

(10:09):
we still haven't released that video. So that's coming out soon.
I'm sure we'll get that out before here's it. We'll
get that video out before the Aliens arrived. Okay, that
way we can get all the content out.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
We don't, you know, there's no regrets.

Speaker 8 (10:22):
But she's going to show up, and so we gave
her some homework, which is basically, I said, watch one
episode of Strange New Worlds because I feel like that's
modern enough, right, Devin, you would say, like it's not hard.
It's hard to go back and watch Next Gym. Well,
the original series for example, that's that's kind of rough.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
When on Next Gym though, that's a better series.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Well, I think it'd be hard to watch the Wrath
of Kahn.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
There you go.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
Yeah, but you still have to know a little bit
about what's going on. So I said, I said, watch
one episode of Stranger World season one and then watch
the two thousand and nine star Trek.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, and that's it. She homework is crazy, you know,
she talks.

Speaker 8 (11:02):
Homework is crazy, Brad, And I said, I said, well,
to be fair, yet, thirty six years to watch like
one episode, and you know, just to keep up with
pop culture, which everyone else is watching. Everyone else knows
what you're talking about. You're the only one left in
the dark here. Okay, first of all, okay, first of all,
you know, but anyway, have you watched it all?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Anyway?

Speaker 13 (11:20):
Absolutely not. I've decided to listen to more Forarrell than
the Neptunes. Okay, Okay, that's as calls as I'm getting.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
But you know what, I bet your Pharrell's a star
Trek fan. I'm sure he is. He marketed off that
whole situation.

Speaker 8 (11:31):
Yeah, speaking of strange new worlds, I will say this,
Devin and I were talking about this earlier this week,
where it's like, strangely world start.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Have you seen? Have you cut up? Eric?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Actually I restarted the series because I was I didn't
know where I left off at.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
You'll watch the first episode of this season and you'll
be like, I don't remember any of this, but okay.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's what happened as the first episode of this new season,
and I'm like, let me go back to the beginning
because I'm lost.

Speaker 8 (11:57):
But it's not all like, it's not like Discover where
I think you have to know all that stuff, you
know what I mean? The season one, the idea was
let's go back to the original idea of Star Trek,
which was like a monster of the week or whatever
alien of the week, and you know, and then maybe
we have like a loose thread of a story going
through the season, and that was fun. It worked for
That's why everyone liked the first season and then second season.

(12:21):
I don't really remember what happened too much there. Third
season it's going into like a threat, like you know,
it's a whole story arc. There's still like the plot
of the week, but it's like, let me put it
this way. The you know, they dine like a musical episode,
Oh trash, why'd you do that? This season they did
a holid Deck episode. The Holid Deck isn't supposed to

(12:43):
exist until next gen? So why are you bringing this in?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
What's? What's are you?

Speaker 8 (12:48):
You only have ten episodes? You're telling me you can't
write ten original Star Trek ideas for one season ten episodes?

Speaker 1 (12:55):
God forbid.

Speaker 8 (12:56):
If you worked on a twenty four or twenty two
episode network show, how would you get through it. It's
okay to have a filler there, but you're doing a
filler on a ten episode season.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Kisses me off?

Speaker 5 (13:08):
So bad?

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Is Alex the passion?

Speaker 8 (13:11):
He's still over the Star Trek world. But I think
all that's gonna go away when with this merger.

Speaker 11 (13:15):
I did you kind of like the musical one that
was kind of cool. I mean, used to see kling
On singing was funny.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
This is something you do on lower decks. There was
an outlet for this. Yeah, strange new worlds.

Speaker 8 (13:24):
They haven't even visited a strange new world yet, Like,
this is doing strange stuff on the ship all the time,
and then next year there's gonna be a puppet episode.
Like what are you talking about? Can you not write
a good It's ten episodes? Write ten effing episodes that
are are good? How about that?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
How many are there already? You think? What five thousand
episodes of Star Trek shows?

Speaker 3 (13:48):
No?

Speaker 8 (13:48):
Probably, I mean there's probably what All right, let's go
over at the thousand sure with cartoons and everything.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, that's a lot of ideas that interesting to where
it would this cycle keeps going.

Speaker 13 (14:02):
Like if you guys had the chose, tell me in
like five words, what Star Trek is struck?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, okay, do it those five words space the final
frontier boom, that's it. So you need to know frontiers
not to shout no I shot, I shot podsed in it.
Ship shit all right.

Speaker 8 (14:26):
By the way, if I thought about this two weeks ago,
I didn't do it, and that's too late. I was
going to make a shirt called the shot Pack, and
I was gonna have William Shatner as uh Kirk uh
t J Hooker and Danny Crane and the shot Pack
and himself as Denny.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah yeah on the stool. Yeah. Sandra was her carbon
monoxide detector?

Speaker 5 (14:51):
What off?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
At two am? Little Danny was walking home from school.

Speaker 8 (14:56):
I don't know why my mom leves watch that show,
but that's part of why I'm a higher and worried
about everything because I'm Rescue nine Gonna one. But anyway,
so my point is, I want to use guys, Please
use chat GPT to come up with ideas on strange
new worlds or something. Please do something, because what's working,
what's happening now is not working. And now you have
only two more seasons left, four and five, and that's it,

(15:20):
and we're probably done with this iteration of the Star
Trek because we're probably gonna cancel everything now and so
it's gonna be another ten years before we get something else.
So you know, let's go out with a bang here.
No more puppets, no more singing and dancing, just bring
the card back.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Is he dead?

Speaker 7 (15:35):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:36):
No, but the only good season was the third one,
and perfectly, let's not touch that. Okay.

Speaker 10 (15:41):
Well, if you can't touch anything that's good and he
can't come up with anything good, then just close it out. Yeah,
so just make their universe und done. And you know what,
we have plenty of good episodes. We go back and
rewatch those. There you go, I maybe I don't remember
it anyway.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah, The Car season three just tells you that there
are more stories out there to get told. Well, the people,
it's not the right people in the seats to tell
those stories, right, that's the problems at the Car. We
got to wait for more people to be born. Or
they're okay, they just they just need no they know
how to write. They just they need a seat, they

(16:16):
need the help.

Speaker 8 (16:17):
Yeah, the people that want to like imagine, this is
so convoluted. I can't even follow this from Let me
let me explain it to you a terms.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
You understand. We're on a plane, Okay, we're on a plane.

Speaker 8 (16:26):
Okay, pilots are incapacitated, all right, somebody comes out and says, hey, guys,
anybody know how to fly?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Is there a pilot in the house? And you raise
your hand. That's true. Yes, when you stand up and
you say I can fly this plane? Are you a pilot?

Speaker 7 (16:38):
No?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
No, Now behind you is me. I'm actually a pilot.

Speaker 13 (16:41):
No you're not.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
And I raised my hand.

Speaker 10 (16:42):
I said, hear not, I can. Actually, I'm certain I will.
I will turn around and be like, he can't name
the four forces a flight? You want him piloting your act?
And I say, and I say, sir, do you know
the four forces that make a cargo?

Speaker 6 (16:53):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (16:53):
My god, no you don't. This is all he's going
to be. Anyway, we're going to fight. You would get
to them. You can't kill the play dies fighting over
who wants to kill these people? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (17:07):
No, let it be my responsibility. But but on the actually,
let's say I trade. I went to flight school and
I got my hours, and I say, I'm gonna do it,
and you're gonna say no. So they pick you because
you're the one in front. Meanwhile, I'm the one who
could actually truly fly the plane. That's what's happening here.
They're ignoring the people that can actually write and direct
these shows. That's what's happening with Star Trek.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Are you following? No, not get get Alex Kirtzman out of.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
The seat, right you're Alex Kirtsman.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Get Terry Mettalis in there because he knows more.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Okay, okay, oh that that just totally clears it up.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Now, Yeah, because movie one person that out of the
helm and putting somebody else.

Speaker 10 (17:43):
That okay, kind of like what's your name, Kathleen Kennedy
overt star warss.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Sure, yeah, so I did.

Speaker 8 (17:52):
On my flight to New Orleans, I did sit next
to a pilot. Oh, I picked the seat right next
to him.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I'm sure he was.

Speaker 8 (18:01):
I tried to talk to this guy five times. Yeah, yeah,
ignored every so you get and then like said, he
had his headphones on the whole time, right mm hmm.
So like we know when they come up and they're like, hey,
do you want some cookies or whatever? So I would
nudge him, do you want it? Like I'll get like,
I'll hook you up with some cookies. I think, No,
that's okay. Never talked to me, didn't want anything to
do with me. But I was trying to learn, and

(18:21):
I was looking how cool and calm collect that he was.
I was watching what he was doing on his iPad,
sexing about his daughter or something. He was just you know,
they were trying to make plans for dinner or something
the weekend.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
So I was like, how cool is it? I was
trying to like get that pilot energy, so I knew how.

Speaker 7 (18:35):
To do what I got.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
The flight similiar, what airline? Where are you flying? Southwest? Okay,
what's he in? A Southwest? Pilot? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (18:44):
In fact, they asked him to move and he goes,

the ass to move all my stuff. And I'm like, yeah,
that's a pilot right there. That was the next the
right person. So I felt safe because I would, you know,
if something were to happen in the plane, I know
that I was small enough that I could I could
he could crawl over me get to the cockpit versus

That said a thousand, Yeah, you're right pretty close. He
went over though, so wins. Wait, what's going on with that?
He busted? Here we go, you busted? I want you went?
Oh what I did?

Speaker 13 (21:52):
Pause?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Let's move on.

Speaker 10 (21:54):
Well, he was confused. I had to explained I was confused.
I just wanted to make sure that I heard what
you said, because I need to know if I need
to excuse myself.

Speaker 8 (22:03):
Well, I mean I would, I'd be a barrassed why
he went over, Oh that's why I see your drinking
a Celsius. Yeah, and uh, do you hear the news
on that this week? I did, Sean go ahead and
tell us about it.

Speaker 13 (22:17):
So apparently Hi Noon had to make a recall on
some of their product. Is what it's a vodka celsur drink? Okay,
and some of the drinks got labeled as Celsius. So Clark,
do you feel energized or drunk?

Speaker 1 (22:31):
I feel energized because he did tell me he was
gonna go get a beer and then he shows up
with that. Yeah, yeah I did, so I feel fine.

Speaker 13 (22:42):
I feel bad for anybody that was on their way
to the gym. They've been sober for twenty years and
then they're like the Celsie is gonna make my day. Yeah,
wait a minute, I don't.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
I don't think that would have happened because you had
to buy the high Noon in order to get the Celsius.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
No, right, the Celsius. Oh, I thought the Celsius tarent
went to the high Noon place. That's what I read.

Speaker 13 (23:03):
Apparently the high Noon dream somehow ended up in Celsius factory,
the same thing.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
What does the same thing explain what happened? I don't
can itself? Right, Celsius would have been the high Noon
but it was mislabeled.

Speaker 8 (23:16):
Right, So, but you would have, but it came from
it was shipped to the high Noon factory. Don't work there.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
I just know it doesn't matter.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
And so when they packaged it, if you if you
bought it, okay, I thought it went in a box.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
That's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
God it because I was thinking you'd have to buy
a box of it, and then you'd over to the
high Noon and they'd be like three Celsius in They're like,
what do I get here? That makes sense if they're
selling it already you know, on the shelf.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
That makes sense. Yeah, so you're playing Russian roulette, whether
it's pre work, that's true. We did that with with
ice cream one time. Yeah, yeah, we did it with hysteria.

Speaker 8 (23:47):
Yep, because you didn't know it was when blue Bell
had lsteria in it. So we had four different types
of ice cream. One of them was blue Bell. Maybe
it had listeria, maybe it didn't, and we uh did
a Russian roulette and oh yeah, I think he had
a stroke. Yeah, he had a stroke shortly after. I
don't know if lsteria causes a st Yeah, that's what LRP.

(24:11):
He actually was supposed to be here today, but uh.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
You know how that goes. Yeah, the audience knows how
that goes.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Right.

Speaker 8 (24:18):
He's like, I'll show up at one, which it would
have been here early, and we were here about one
and he was not here.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
So but since we're talking about drinks, you know, I
got to plug my drink. Oh my god. By the way,
it's not she's not a sponsor.

Speaker 13 (24:31):
Not sponsor, but pamos. I think I'm pronouncing it right.
I went su Specs after someone suggested it was eight.
It's a THC based drink. There's no alcohol in it,
and it is Heavenly. I haven't wanted to touch alcohol
since I started this drink. And when I went to
go pick it up as Specs. I didn't shop spects, Okay,
I didn't realize how many like lonely middle aged men

(24:54):
are there on a random likes.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I'd wear aspects Suspects. It's amazing.

Speaker 13 (25:02):
But now I went on like a random Friday afternoon
and I got cute, just to enjoy my little day off.
And when I went in there, I had customers asking
me if I wanted help. And one guy in particular
walked up to me when I went to the thcisle
and he's like.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Do need help?

Speaker 7 (25:17):
Was something?

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Do you have diabetes? I told you no, forget you.

Speaker 13 (25:22):
Okay, we talk about that later, but yeah, I was
just like, why would you ask me that? And he's like, oh,
because I will tell you what drinks to get that
are low and sugar because I got diabetes from drinking alcohol.
But ever since I started drinking this, I've been good.
And then there was just like a little AA meeting.
While I'm trying to just get this bottle and leave
is I'm trying to be high at branch. I don't

(25:42):
care about what's going on. But this particular Specs had
a Delhi. I didn't know they had those, but yeah,
everyone just came for whatever reason, telling me their story
about how THHC has changed their life. Yeah, and which
ones I should buy, but Pamos is the one.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
She orders an entire plate of cinnamon ros. Be fair,
it said, it says cinnamon rolls on the thing, but
like doesn't describe that.

Speaker 13 (26:06):
There's three huge ones nine dollars in this economy. I
thought it was gonna be one big one, right, screw you. Yeah,
if we went on his camera, I tell you what
I really feel.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, we'll turn it off real quick. The mic turns,
stay it comes.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
That.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
You hear the sound? Where's that slap we have? We
have a slap on here, don't I'm sure the Will
Smith slap. Yeah, that's a whip is definitely not a slab.
That's a slap. That's a whip. That's one of my sessions.
That's a whip. No, that what you were doing with Joe?
Speaking of whip that, I love that because when we
go to Vegas, I told you this on the stop

(26:47):
and I don't got no dip beties.

Speaker 13 (26:49):
I'm making you go to hardest had grow when we
get to Vegas's I don't.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Want to do that.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
You're going they used to have one here in Dallas, actually,
and I wanted to go to that, and then I
started reading and I look at the burger.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I'm like, I don't really want to eat this burger.
I'm gonna be honest with you, though, disgusting me and
my friends with and I thought we're going to a
vegan place.

Speaker 13 (27:05):
We are, but we went to heart Attack Grille one time,
and we're all trainers and so it was weird for
us to even be there. But the fact that y'all
marketing y'all food to fat people and the food don't
even slap is insane to me.

Speaker 8 (27:17):
It just tastes like lard, That's what that's That's why
I didn't. I have no interest in going because it
looks like food that it's just greased.

Speaker 13 (27:24):
We're going to order you something we know you're not
going to eat it, and then they're gonna smack your
ass three times with a paddle.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Excuse me, Yeah, they're gonna do that. But do I
do I have to pay for the meal?

Speaker 10 (27:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:34):
No, I don't think so I'll pay for it just
to get your ass. There's some ladies on the street
that will do that for Wade Less that's what I'm saying.
How much I don't know, Well, I just wanted how
much is how much? I don't think that was that.

(27:55):
That was the super Mario guy. Mar before that.

Speaker 13 (28:03):
They were talking about it was like a little special
they have about Mario and all that. But they literally said, like,
after all these years, Princess Peach and Mario have always just.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Been yeah, Mario, Mario's risus life. So let's let's dumb
for the you know, it is broad. Is broad? What's
going on? Well, what's what? What's her deal?

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Then?

Speaker 7 (28:24):
What do you mean? Well?

Speaker 1 (28:25):
What she always getting captured and she's really dating don't
want to be saved?

Speaker 12 (28:29):
Yeah she is.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
She don't want to be saying don't don't save her.
She don't want to be saved. Okay, okay, so then
it's just a cockwalker that you got warped over.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
Mario's like the guy that can't get over her. Maybe
they knew each other and assume yeah, and he's, oh.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
She must be. She hadn't refunded my text.

Speaker 12 (28:46):
I have to go save her.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
She's in this.

Speaker 10 (28:47):
Castle, she's at an Airbnb with Bowser. When did Barney
five become Mario?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
That's that's who. That's who plays it in my version.
No more Chris Pratt Don The real MVP is his
brother because he rid her dive for his bro. Is
that it have been, like, Yo, you need to find
you some more hope.

Speaker 8 (29:01):
He's the accountability part. Yeah, that's what he's trying to do.
Is like Mari, I'm telling you wake.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Up and the mushrooms just there. Yeah, I don't even.

Speaker 8 (29:07):
But they're both on drugs, you know, and uh so
they don't know. You know, there's not really toad people
in real life, you know what I mean, there's mushrooms. Yeah,
but all right, one more movie I think we have
to talk about today. Fantastic four. And I don't think
anyone has seen it in this room except for Devin.
Have you seen Fantastic Four? Devin, I did not see it.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
I didn't see it nor out movies.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
I did not see that. I did see the porn
version Fantastic Horror, so.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
That that's a good one. I didn't know what we're
talking about that I saw that. I have that on VHS.

Speaker 11 (29:44):
Yes, there's a big dude and named Galactus. He didn't
want a baby the world leader. Yes, collect to show
it up in the movie and he wanted it was like,
he was like, give me your baby or eat your planet.
I think that was the plot, right, Yeah, they wouldn't
give up the baby. I think you should have gave.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Up the baby.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well that's what the sequels for, I think, Franklin. Yeah, yeah,
but but you did you did you like it that though?
If you had one to ten, what do you think?

Speaker 5 (30:11):
I give it a five.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
See, I didn't think it was that good either.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Uh, I mean I didn't see it. I just assumed
from the commercial.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
Man was pretty good.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
You like the Superman better than Fantastic four?

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Yeah? I like it better than a Fantastic four.

Speaker 8 (30:23):
It's kind of getting tired of what's the guy's name,
the main guy? D Yeah, yeah, well time it's in
everything he's he's the rock Kevin hard Powell. I don't
I haven't seen anything really with Glenn Pale in it,
so he hasn't really got on my nerves yet. But
everything I watched, every TV show, he's uh, Pedro Pascal.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
I think the Indiana Jones, that's what they were talking about.
He might be the new Indiana.

Speaker 8 (30:45):
I think he's playing the biock pick for h Queen Elizabeth. Yeah,
he's Queen Elizabeth. He's Elizabeth, so he's just and everything.
And I and also the whole anxiety. I got to
touch people things. That's the thing that also weirds me out.
Like you know, sometimes you you you think people are cold,
and you get to know them a little bit more
and you're like, oh, I don't know about this. That's
kind of how I feel about Pedro, Like I don't

(31:07):
the anxiety thing. He didn't have anxiety around Bella, you
know what I mean, it's only the hot guys and
girls who's around uh on the red carpet, and I
just I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
You're grown man, Come on right, get with it. Yeah,
you get a therapist.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
You si'll do that on the plane. When you have anxiety,
you don't touch people.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
The last thing I want is people to touch me.

Speaker 8 (31:26):
And if i'm if I'm have anxiety to let like
I remember be on a plane with this girl and
little Turbuli. She gets a nervous you grabs my hand.
I mean while I'm trying to throw up because I
have most of likeness at this top and I'm like,
please get your hands off.

Speaker 10 (31:37):
The guys by the plane has motions. But because in
the back of the place, I just want to point
that out the man that wants to fly the plane.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
Yeah, but you know what, I don't get most of
sickness in the front when I'm anticipating, and when I'm driving,
I don't get most of sickness.

Speaker 10 (31:52):
Sure, yah, got me in the back. Sure, And I'm
gonna I'm bouncing, like can just see us, like, you know,
falling to our death. And the plane is doing this
and you look up and they're in the cockpit and
it's all Mike bouncing around and he's throwing up all.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Over the windshield and you're like, yeah, well we're gonna
die in any Well.

Speaker 8 (32:08):
Don't give away a lot of our new movie. You know,
Chat chipd has this new agent thing where you can
tell it to do something for you. And I said, Chat,
please look up decommission police cars in Dallas for sale
and give me a list of them all, because how

(32:28):
cool would it be to buy a decommissioned police car
that we can rewrap and label however we want it
to be whatever we want to use it for.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
And it found me, like ten of them, any of
them have bullet holes?

Speaker 10 (32:39):
Nope, we can put those in there for Fred or
any of them, like the nineteen eighties Chevrolet Caprice. No
I will, and there's no reason to even get one.
It's all it's all the chargers.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Chargers. Yeah, no, I want to.

Speaker 8 (32:55):
What I really would love is the Mayberry police call.
He's the nineteen fifty something for it was a I've
looked it up before Galaxy something like that.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
I looked it up.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
I even have I try to find air lane and
the auction sites because I'm sure there's people out there
that have them and they rebuilt into the Mayberry squad car.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
But I don't know if they're ready to give it
out yet. But there guys know what he means by Mayberry.
That's that old show.

Speaker 6 (33:23):
That's the old show, right, that's the name of the show.
Show put the white people in the right. It was
a lot of one only white folks. It was I
think it was called Whistling White Folks. Yeah, of the no,
that's about.

Speaker 13 (33:39):
To do that would get drug and put himself in jail.
Show yet drug something? Yeah, thank goodness, you've seen something
thirty six years for Galaxy.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
That's for Galaxy. Okay, what did I say? I see
with an ie, which is weird. I did say Galaxy,
I'd say Galaxy or fair Lane. So we can find one.

Speaker 8 (33:57):
But you know, some of these guys that have these
are getting older now, you know, so I might just
wait and uh they're not and and then try to
sneak one off of them, because then we could do
all sorts of cool stuff. Dude, if you just want
to steal his Dutch charger, no, no, no, I'm talking
about the Mayberry car. Oh, you can find a decommission,
you know. If I can even just get the uh

(34:18):
just the car that drives pretty decent for a seventy
year old car, Like we can get it painted white
and black and then put the emblems on.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
That's not a big deal. Yeah, get Sean to do
it right here. What you can paint the car? But
you're the Mexican, right, so you do that? That'd be
I got just a flyer the car.

Speaker 10 (34:39):
You do the light doesn't strike me as the mechanic, No,
not at all. Or you can get one of these
for ten to twenty grand.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, I would think that's more than what I want
to contact seller. Ooh, yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 8 (34:55):
But I know that there's a guy that I used to.
We used to have on the show all the time.
He used to He's an Andy Griffis town. They turned
into like a little Mayberry And he has a replica
that he's made, and so maybe I can I think
his name is Tom hell a brand, making sure I
can find him and see if he still has it
and if he wants to get rid of it.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
There was one more thing.

Speaker 8 (35:16):
Oh, I went to New Orleans. I was in New
Orleans for three days. I've always wanted to go and
didn't know what to expect. I have no expectation other
than red dead, redemption, two.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Bad news, real fast. Oh he auctioned off that car.
How what year did he do that? Did he say?
Two thousand and six? Yeah, that's when we had him
on the show. That's funny because well, do you know
what happened?

Speaker 8 (35:38):
The reason why we had we had him on the
show multiple times because he was trying to raise money
to build a don Nott statue because Don Notts had
just passed away. That's all in here, like it was
like a life style you know whatever, It's okay because
I was. It cost twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
I think they were trying to raise thirty five thirty.

Speaker 8 (35:56):
Five thousand CBS as they and he would call us
up and he give it every week. He would give
us updates on it. Right, CBS gave him a cease
and assist to destroy the statue.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
After you put all this stuff. This guy had a
restaurant in this Maybury town. He had this, he had it.
He had to get rid of all of it, sell
everything because he lost the statue. And the only person,
by the way who could, who could, he said, could,
would be like, hey, we'll stop the ceason assistan and
you can do it. You have my permission was Andy Griffith.
Andy would never do anything. He was still alive at

(36:28):
the time we reached out to Andy. He would not
do anything about it. And so tom lost everything. So
f Andy Griffith, F you, Matt Locke, we anyway New Orleans?
Will I go again? One hundred percent? He was actually

(36:48):
get to do anything though a little I was.

Speaker 8 (36:51):
I had evenings and I was invited to go out
to eat with this company who had has have me
down there, and I said no every single time, and
then I would give in last minute and then I
go because I was like, tomorrow I'll explore the city
a little bit, and then they would pick such great
restaurants that I would eventually I just said, do you know,
forget it, I'll go and go with you guys. But

(37:11):
I did have to go find deodorant at one point
because my hotel had a ghost in it apparently and
sold a cap to my deodorant, and so I had
to walk down Bourbon Street and blah blah blah in
the middle of the night and go to CVS and
get a deodorant. So that was me it kind of
exploring the city. But the food when people say the
food is so different in New Orleans and you know it's, oh,
it's not Popaos, people say that, you know, you might

(37:33):
it might be slightly fresher, but it might taste basically
the same. This was like night and day difference. Like
I had a crab cake in front of me and
I looked at it and I know what crab cake
takets like, and I'm talking this guy next to me.
I look down the plate, already envisioning what it's going
to taste. Like, I take the fork I put in
my mouth and I'm talking to this and then I
just like my brain just stops working. It was so
I never tasted like something like this before. And then

(37:55):
the gumbo. I've had gumbo like three times down there.
I ordered some in from some places, and then we
went out a couple of places to have some gumbo.
And I'm like, why can't somebody go down there, figure
out what they're doing and bring it up here. Don't understand.

Speaker 13 (38:07):
Where about y'all trying to appropriate our stuff? Anyway?

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Who was in the kitchen? It was a Hispanics. Actually
there we go, Okay, exactly, damn it. I could appropriate
many ques's right.

Speaker 9 (38:23):
But like the right after Katrina, when a ton of
people were up here from New Orleans, there was a
lot of like restaurants and stuff that opened up, and
like there was good, really good stuff.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
It's just not the same as down there. I don't
get it. I don't know why. Yeah, it's I mean
it's totally different.

Speaker 8 (38:40):
I mean the fresh thing I get, like the fish
might taste a little fresh or whatever, but the flavors
are just totally different. It's wasn't even a fresh aspect.
So I know a lot of these places they all
get their their food and their fish from the same place.
They're not sending out fishermen to go out to the
you know, lake to go pull it out and.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Bring it to the rest. They're all getting for their
food from the streamout out to the flying fish there.
They do that, they don't.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
I already asked about that because I mentioned I'm like, hey,
so people bringing No, they don't. She's like, no, we
get up for a distributor. I'm like, oh, because they
have all those pictures on the wall and it looks.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Like people bring it up. They used to have a
sign that said this is where like you bring your stuff.
Oh no, maybe it was somewhere else.

Speaker 8 (39:15):
That they're not there, but I wish, but they probably
can't because of legalities and food safety and licensing and
all that these days.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
What were you saying, Clark?

Speaker 10 (39:24):
Oh no, I was just gonna say that even in
the say Louisiana, there's people that will say that New
Orleans is em the best place to go for food
in that state.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Really. Oh yeah, that's what you said. Yeah, if you wanna,
there's like people from Lafayette that will tell you that
they have said New Orleans, yeah, which I mean, I
can't even imagine anything, but like I've tasted, but like
you Okay, So if you go to New Orleans, all right,
I did, all right, how much of your experience was
in the French Quarter, and how much of it was

(39:53):
in New Orleans outside of that French Quarter, outside of
that terrorist, terrorist trap, tourist trap. I don't even know.
I don't even know. I don't even know where I
was whole time, so I didn't even tell you. Definitely, yeah,
and that's what i'm That's what I was. I can
walk everywhere.

Speaker 10 (40:12):
So I like if you went to a Okay, so
in Dallas, if you went down Ross Avenue, you know
you're going to find a taco joint where you're probably
not going to find anybody there that works English, but
the tacos are spectacular, right, right.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
But then you go to like you can, go to you.

Speaker 10 (40:25):
Can, and then you can go to another taco place
where it's white people tacos.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
I mean, we know what we mean. We know we
mean by white.

Speaker 10 (40:31):
People, velvet and torches, still good, fuzzy, still freaking delicious.
It's all just different stuff that's put into a tortilla.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (40:40):
So that's kind of that experience. I feel like maybe
maybe you might have been at a torchies when you
were looking for Oh, no, I never want to go
to Z went to no chains. I asked local people.
But you don't have to go to Honestly, you can
go to you can go to a chain and have
a better experience.

Speaker 8 (40:56):
Yeah, but I didn't. I didn't want to do all that.
I wanted to find out good the only thing even.

Speaker 10 (40:59):
Then, and then if it has two locations, that's not
necessarily like a huge chain, right either.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
I just wanted original, standalone, family owned That's what I
really want.

Speaker 8 (41:07):
A hole in the wall. I haven't found a hole
in the wall yet. But the first place and the
place I would go back to is Antoine is Antoine's Air.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (41:14):
Eric told me about that after I had been there.
I think it's the oldest restaurant in America.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
So that's a gimmick. That's a family owned restaurant.

Speaker 12 (41:24):
No, I didn't know that.

Speaker 10 (41:25):
After I was there. They give you a tour, they
tell you, I mean, but that's still a gimmick. The
reason why there is because it's the oldest russ Now,
I had no idea I went there and then they
tell you they paid for a tour. That's company dead.
They took us around. But every it's so old. It's
like this big house that's a lie and it's a gimmick.
So it's a gimmick.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
I don't know if that's.

Speaker 8 (41:42):
They truly, if they're truly the oldest or whatever, but
our family owned or something like that.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I don't remember.

Speaker 8 (41:49):
But anyway, all I all I know was the food
was spectacular and every room is a different Did you.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Go there, Eric, give you that's a good tour. Did
you get the whole the whole thing?

Speaker 7 (42:00):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
I didn't eat, but yeah, oh you did the tour? Yeah, oh,
next time we get if we go, we got to
go back to that place to eat. Yeah, incredible. Did
you get any beignetes?

Speaker 3 (42:08):
No, I was.

Speaker 8 (42:09):
We were going to order some the next day, but
we didn't have time. But so there's a lot and
there's a lot of types of food. I hadn't tried yet,
Like I haven't really ever tried jumbalaya, especially in New Orleans,
so I want to try.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
That out of that's just negro.

Speaker 10 (42:22):
Yeah, okay, but then you can get jumbalaya at Rezus.
I've had it at Rezus. It's fine, it's good, and
you don't have a benchmark to compare to when you
go there.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
That's what I'm just trying to point out. Well, actually
another thing I'm trying to point out. Yeah, I was
just blown away, how good everything I've eaten in my
entire life. And then I had this.

Speaker 8 (42:40):
I've had gumbo, by the way, I've had gumbo five
times in Dallas over the past six weeks. None of
those gup but from different places. None of those gumbos
compared to the three gumbos I had in New Orleans
blew me away.

Speaker 14 (42:53):
I mean, no one comes to Texas for gumbo anyway.
But I was going to, like, you know, slap, like, well,
there's teaching people in in in Texas. After Katrina, they
all moved a lot of people moved over You may have.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Moved over here, but they secrets over there. Does it
expire when happened? They say we'll take a few at ease,
but not all of them. They bury the rest. Yes
with Grandma, Yeah exactly.

Speaker 8 (43:25):
But it also got me thinking, like in Dallas and
we'll close up the show. But in Dallas, every restaurant
now is fine dining mm hmm, everything small plates, blah
blah blah, blah. Every every restaurant tastes the exact same.
Just about every restaurant has Edison light bulbs, Edison light bulbs.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
The food you have the same stupid you have pasta
one restaurant, it tastes the same as another restaurant. Like
it's all bland food. Now.

Speaker 10 (43:52):
I don't know about the blandness of it. It's just
the experiences. Everybody thinks they have this a unique experience.
It's experience. They're focused experience. It's the same experience from
one place.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
To the other. The Instagram exactly. Oh yeah, where you
can get the most content. But I want I don't.

Speaker 8 (44:11):
I'm like, I wish there was more restaurants open up.
And I guess it just doesn't pay the bill because
you can't take a picture there.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
But what do you think?

Speaker 8 (44:18):
What do you think changed that it was after COVID
because it didn't used to be like this till after COVID.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah, but and I mean, like, it's so it's everything
that you say.

Speaker 10 (44:26):
It's so funny that you say this because I was
actually on Facebook just now and it was it was
like the ten best brunch places in Dallas. And what
was funny is that they all had ornate decorations. They
had the you know that feathery crap that every place put.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
That on the outside. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah,
all that.

Speaker 10 (44:46):
I used to know what it was called. But it's
all that feather crap that they put on the on
the on the ceilings and all this stuff, and everything's
like just so ornate. And what's funny is that, like
it it all looks photo photogenic and everything. And you
know what's funny is that, like while you're taking these
pictures and everything, it's in a half empty restaurant. And
not to make it sexist thing, there's no dudes there.

(45:09):
There's there's zero dudes there. And I'm just saying it's
like at the place, it's all about taking pictures and
looking good.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (45:18):
My points a, I mean, dates are gonna be like
I just want some eggs and bacon and I want
to get back to football.

Speaker 8 (45:23):
My point that is after I've had you know, food
that was had a great experience. By the way, I'm
not knocking the experience I had in New Orleans at
these restaurants, but the food was good. They put uh,
you know, they focused on the food and then the experience.
I'm not going to anymore find nining in Dallas because
they don't do that. They're they're focused on the experience,
not the food. All their foods are saying, all the

(45:44):
dessert's exactly the same, by the way too, ice cream
and all this bs and I I'm not spending that
money for it. If the money, if the food is,
the flavors not there, I'm not spend the money for
with that. I'll see it in a couple of weeks.
