Speaker 5 (01:54):
All right, So the Dollar Tree slash Dollar Store by
us because it's a family dollar Dollar Tree is going
out of business. So everything has been like twenty five
percent off. Then last week it was fifty percent off.
Now everything is seventy five percent off, but the fifty
percent off, I guess I'll start with the seventy five
percent off.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
We got some movies.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
We got the Batman movies from the eighties four discs
for like fifty cents. I got the last four Harry
Potter movies for like two bucks. We got highlight episodes
of Courage to Cowardly Dog, which we're gonna give to
Megan's sister Amanda.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
And we got something else for.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Someone else that I totally forgot what it is, but
we got something else for like twenty five cents, so
that was cool.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
The other one was Batman Forever, Batman Forever.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
That's right, because it's Batman and Robin, Batman returns Batman
and Batman Forever they go.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
It's Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yes, yeah, I did the order completely backwards for sure.

Speaker 7 (02:57):
But I am I want to say, I'm surprised you
have seen them yet, but also I know you as
a person, so I guess I'm not surprised.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
I am glad you're watching them.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
I do like Batman. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
The first one was very confusing, it seems uh yeah,
because like their dialogue was super weird, like it would
just like, I don't know, it almost a great movie.
It seemed like they were talking literally in comic book
speak because it was Yeah, but it's just so weird
that like because they're not doing the comic book transitions

(03:26):
and things like that, like it's a it's a movie,
like it's almost it almost reminds me of like the
old Japanese cartoon like speed Racer, where like they.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Talk got lined up?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Were they talk?

Speaker 2 (03:37):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
No, no, were they talk? Are you talking about the
original Batman and Robin or are you talking about like the.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
What do you call it?

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Like Batman from like the eighties, from the eighties, Oh okay,
Like it just reminded me of like speed Racer talk,
so Beetlejuice, Like no, but Beetlejuice, like at least like that.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
I mean Michael Keaton and Batman. Oh oh yeah, yeah,
that's right, that's right. I don't know, just like the
whole movie, I felt like they were talking in incomplete sentences,
like uh, I forgot with who the woman was. But
she would like look at Batman after she figured it out,
and she'd be like, why must you do this, and
like he'd just be like style, It's like I have

(04:18):
to and like and like it and just like very
not explaining anything, and she's like how long, and like
that's just it, like just just how long? And I
was just like, all right, whatever, this is a little weird.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
But it's also directed by Tim Burton.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Alex, Yeah, it was directed by Tim Burton. That's one
of the reasons why Megan loved it.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
I mean, it's a great day I love that movie.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the Pale Moonlight?
Oh my god? Yeah, that that was from this movie.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Yes, it was.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
That was from this Also, I didn't realize how long
this movie was.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I thought it was gonna be like an hour and
a half.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
We're here starting it at like eight o'clock and then
we end up like finishing at like midnight.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
The old fart in your falling, it's probably.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Because you were sitting and stopping it every two minutes.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
Megan has to stop it every like, yeah, like thirty
minutes for a pee break.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, it's not that long, but I also.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
It was more.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
I feel like it was longer than two hours. I
feel like it was two and a half hours.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
I don't know. I thought that we were going to
be done with the movie way earlier. We were done
at like eleven.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
And two hours and six minutes.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
Two and a half hours was six minutes and a
half hour.

Speaker 7 (05:29):
Movies was a newer thing hitting that, you know, and
then extending to the three hour that was that's only
more real.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
Yeah we had movies that Yeah, not back then anyway.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
So and during the fifty percent off, we got a
bunch of food is like what I what I liked
to get there, So like I got like frozen broccoli,
cauliflower and carrots, like just to make I got like
a bunch of like cans of like chili's and beans
and things like that. But the weird thing that we
would not have normally picked that I already told Danielle.

(06:05):
We found these bags of meatballs that were just chilling
on the shelf, shelf meat shelf meatballs, and they were
just ready to go. Just just just see me eat, right?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Isn't that what they say actually on the package?

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Because this is this is this is the package. No
serious refrigeration required.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
That sounds very questionable.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Ah, that's beyond questions. Rip and ready. They sell them
at Walmart.

Speaker 6 (06:36):
Rip and ready.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
So they sell them at Walmart. Okay, I eat lots
of different things. I wouldn't even eat that. So we
so we got one bag to try it out.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
And you live to tell the tale, and he lives
to the ti so.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Much better than I thought it would be, but you, yes,
I did. Are you serious? Were so much better than
I thought that they would actually be. I thought that
they were going to be disgusting, And Megan and I
both thought that they were going to be disgusting, and
they were not disgusting. Yes, we did kind of, but no,
it ended up being pretty good.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
You're gonna you're gonna grow a third arm. I don't
think they sell them at Walmart. It's fine.

Speaker 7 (07:18):
Well, see, I was gonna say that personally, I feel like,
you know, dollars store food is kind of questionable.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Yeah, but if they saw it a Walmarts on a.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Shelf, yeah that that.

Speaker 8 (07:31):
I was so.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
And it's a bag of me. It's a bag of meeples.
It's not even like a can like a Chef Boyard.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
I know, I know, I was so weird. I was like,
this is gonna be ay. Yeah, come to think of it, Yeah,
chef boyar D has it can.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
No. The bag is really high quality. It's like a
full like aluminum bag. Like it's actually do you.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Leave it in the bag to cook? Is it like
a cook in bad?

Speaker 5 (08:01):
No?

Speaker 3 (08:01):
No, no, no no no no no. I put I
put everything cold to you, just popped them like Bobcorn.
I put them into a pot.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
To the movie.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
I put it.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
I put it in a pot after I was done.
Cooking the pasta and I, he's everything up together.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
That's like something right out of Teen Titans, right what
East boy in and u Cyborn sitting in Yeah, veggie
meat sitting popping, popping meat balls in a theater.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
But anyway, this was definitely this was definitely the most
questionable hit of the dollar store that we had.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
I agree with that.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
How much on how much did the package of your
meat balls cost you? Fifty cents each?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Well, we went so we only bought one at first,
and then after we had it for dinner, we went
back the next day and we bought like fifteen.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Oh my god, living on elf meat balls? It was
not bad. Did you at least check the what do
you call it? The dates on the exertion day?

Speaker 9 (09:06):
Ye?

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Yeah, we checked the expiration dates and everything, and everything
was fine. And I also was showing her the nutrition facts,
and the nutrition facts are really not that bad, which
I was. I was also surprised it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Like high end sodium.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
It might be because it's like pre made.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Let's see where sodium on here? It's right there, Oh.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
My god, forty half of your daily sodium essentially. But
I only had again, I only had this once, and
I had it fifteen of them.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, so it doesn't mean he's eating them all at once.
I'm not going to eat them all at yeah, exactly.
Let's see, I would eat that whole damn bag in
one shot by myself. Yeah, so you would eat it.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Yeah, but like that's not I've been paying attention to
calories and like that's not near four hundred and sixty
calories for a meal is really not that bad for you,
like considering that I could go to Burger King and
order something that is two thousand caalleries.

Speaker 7 (10:00):
Now, hang on, we looked at the nutrition facts, but
do they have like the ingredients list printed?

Speaker 3 (10:09):
The ingredients list? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Like is that on there too?

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Ingredients cooked meat balls, beef.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Chicken, mechanically separated chicken.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Mechanically separated chicken. Oh I ever find it's chicken, vegetable protein,
soy protein concentrate, something for color, soy protein, salt, garlic,
powder onion, powder water, tomato paste, spaghetti, sauce, seasoning.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
I mean, no, that's actually not that terrible ingredients.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
It's not as bad as you thought it was gonna be, right.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
I was like, you know, expecting all kinds of extra
things in there that actually aren't there.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
I really told you they were really, really not that
bad when I started looking at them, because I was
super When I had them in my hands at the store,
I was giving them a hard side.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I was like, there is no way.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
But the more I dove into it, I was like,
you know what I'll give. I'll give one bag a.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Try, and really, but did you die?

Speaker 5 (11:10):
And I did not die? And they were actually did
you die? They were pretty good. Anyway, there's my Dollar
Store escapades for.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
Like, is it like a tear packet like those tuna
things that you can get?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, yeah, I would say it's kind of like that.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
And what what size are.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'm gonna you want to try them?

Speaker 6 (11:27):
No, I have got questions. They were about you should
have questions too, about.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
The size of a quarter, like yeah big.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
So like the size of like a chef beard.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Actually yeah, about the shot maybe a tad bit smaller
or or it's just because the chef boyer demon meatballs
are very like dense, like they're super like these ones
were lighter like they're they've reminded they reminded me more
of like home styled meatballs. They they not packed tight,

(11:56):
not packed tight. They broke apart very nicely, and they
they had a nice texture. I would say that they
were probably way I would say that they were way
better than chee boy or D meat balls. If I
had to put them on a scale, I would percent
take them over chepe boyer D meatballs.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Wow, really, I like SHEPWOARDD meat balls.

Speaker 8 (12:15):
Well, I do too, I do too.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I might this might be my new thing.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
I check my back pocket, get a little hungry, pull
it out of my back pocket a home. Yeah, I
gotta see brand pocket tots.

Speaker 6 (12:27):
It'll just be pocket meat.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
I mean, listen, we do eat like cured meats, like
jerky and stuff like that. So I was like, you
know what, screwed, I'll take a chance on it. And
they were pretty good. I didn't want so. There was
sauce in the bag too.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
It was like, yolo, dude, it was good. It was good.
He's gonna have a freaking arm in the back of
his freaking mom.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
I'm just picturing like the aftermath when you're like feeling
ill and in the bathroom.

call it? I wanted to I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
I wanted to.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
I wanted to to say, you know, a huge rest
in peace to George went He passed away apparently today
and if you're not familiar with him, you absolutely still are.
George went One was Norm from Cheers and what do
you call He was also Ham from what do you
call it? From toy Story and just a very very

(16:36):
nice guy. I had the opportunity to meet him. I
never took a picture of him. It was very brief.
I forgot which convention it was, but I know we
were signing together. It was uh, we were in the
green room, and it's just nice guy. The whole two
seconds I had talking to him. It wasn't like we
had this big, long conversation, but you know, at least
I had that that one little uh opportunity.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
I met him. And what's faced the guy who.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Was Cliff Clave and I can't remember his his name
but Ratzburger, John Ratzenberger, John Ratzenberger. So anyway, uh, yeah, wishing,
wishing his family and his fans' deepest condolences.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
So what do you call it?

Speaker 5 (17:16):
So?

Speaker 3 (17:16):
I wanted to ask you how much of a deep
dive you did about the Mexican ship that that hit
the Brooklyn Bridge. Oh? I didn't actually I just saw
that the the what is it?

Speaker 5 (17:31):
The ship hit the bridge and I didn't really see
anything else about it. Okay, how much do you know
about it?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (17:38):
So it was a Mexican what do you call it?
Warship if I think, or navy ships? So they're invading, no,
and it and apparently it was being towed. It was
on its way over to something there they were doing
a world like a world sale or something, or them
a bunch of other uh I don't think countries, may

(18:00):
you whatever. And they were heading to their starting point.
Something happened and the boat was actually being towed by
a tugboat. The tugboat is what pulled them underneath the bridge.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
No, The thing is is everybody that was on the
upper half of that boat when when it wound up,
the ship when it wund up going on hard bridge,
two people died. At about fifteen or twenty of them
are are injured. Oh wow, it was. It was wild.
I mean I watched it from fifteen different angles. I
mean I only watched one angle. So when I sent you,

(18:31):
uh yeah, actually yeah, I thought for sure that you
actually had had been paying attention to that.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
No, not really, I mean definitely, I definitely do like accidents.
I don't like accidents. I don't like when accidents happened.
I like learning about accidents. I like learning about disasters
and things like that. Speaking of Actually, I don't know
if you know this, but Chernobyl is back up in
hot again.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
I oh you know that? No?

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh yeah, so does that?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
What does that mean?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Well?

Speaker 5 (19:04):
So you know, so you know how there's well, for
a do you want to finish this story first?

Speaker 3 (19:09):
No, that was pretty much it. I just wanted to
say two people died.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
It was awful.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
And yeah, in February of this year, the shielding that
covers Chernobyl was hit with a drone and there is
a like, uh f one fifty sized hole in the
shield in the shield right now. But the problem is
actually worse than that, or it's not exactly that. The

(19:33):
problem is that when that hole happened, a bunch of
fires started, and so fires just kind of spread all
over this shield and so they had to just rip
the shield apart to like fix the fires. And so
now there's not really anything covering Chernobyl. It's just releasing

(19:53):
all of its radiation and goodness into the air. And yeah,
it's very dangerous. It's uh to give you a perspective,
it's about two Horoshima bombs every hour that's being released
into the since February. Really oh wow, yeah, yeah, it's

(20:15):
a lot of radiation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
What's causing that?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (20:20):
What's called Chernobyl melted down in like the eighties or
something like that, and there was nothing that they didn't
do anything. Is nothing you can do ifter it melts down,
isn't it. Like the half life for those the elements
that they were using is fifty and one hundred thousand
years approximately, So it's gonna be a very long time
until those elements are stable.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Really.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, So those.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
Those elements that are in there are going to decay
into lead eventually, but it's going to take, depending on
the element, fifty to one hundred thousand years to get there.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
There's no other way to get rid of them. No,
So how the hell did they Why the hell would
they do anything with them? If that's the case, why
would they do anything with them?

Speaker 5 (21:03):
Because it's basically free energy, like if you if you
balance the reaction appropriately, which most people don't, most countries
don't have a problem with UH, and most reactors are
you know, very very safe. Now you basically could power
cities with you know, grams of elements. Yeah, Like like

(21:26):
imagine imagine holding something in your hand the side, like
in your palm, and it can power New York City,
you know, Like that's like the power we're talking So like, yeah,
of course we're using these you know, elements, but they're
they're dangerous if put in the wrong hands and that accident. Yeah,
the scientist that was in charge of that reactor, he
was not a good person. And uh, we are going

(21:48):
to be facing the repercussions of Chernobyl for you know,
several hundred thousand years.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Oh wow.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Unfortunately, unfortunately that's insane. That is the unfortunate reality. Yeah, insane, Well,
what do you call it? I think speaking about other
things that are insane. And no, I'm not talking about
that piece of trash that we spoke about last week.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, but you know, Trump apparently hates Taylor Swift and
he also yeah I saw this Springsteen and probably because
he's he's called the Boss, because Trump wants to be
the Did.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
You see you saw that he said that Taylor Swift
has not like he's she's ugly now ugly now she's
ugly now since she came out against him, that's a whole.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Did he actually say that? I didn't. I just saw
like the headline of the article, it was a whole.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
There was a whole.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Uh, hilarious, he made a whole post about it. He's
an ugly person ever since she hated me. I don't
get it. I just don't get it.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
Yeah. I mean, we're living in the We're living in
the era of Kyle Hitler, you know, being a song soly.
I mean, dude, does anything surprise you anymore? At least
I try to. I try to keep the non face
as people in check, you know, just the people that
are like on twitch and everything like that, and the
general public. I don't know what to say about these psychos.

(23:08):
Kanye is insane, you know that these other people are insane,
and there's really not much we could do.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
It is what it is.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I just I just don't understand it. Then what do
you call it? And then and then you know, uh, well,
I don't want to get into that, But what do
you call I wanted to ask you what your thoughts
were about the saying goodbye to that six Flags Park
and as one of the oldest wooden roller coasters in it.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
I said that to you too.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
You did send that rather looking at it. I don't
know if I looked at it.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
I know that. I mean, so you don't know what
I'm talking about, But you're going to comment on it.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Yeah, I am going to comment on it because it's
it feels like, uh, the commentary that a lot of
people are giving about like King da Ka and like
other roller coasters, Like I am very sad when roller
coasters get decommissioned. I'm very sad when parks go out.
And you know, I don't like when really old roller
coasters are destroyed. But you know, sometimes the upkeep on

(24:02):
these coasters is just not worth the money for the
park to continue the maintenance of the coaster.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
And I guess if it's no longer safe, you know.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
That's not That's not what the problem is with this one.
What do you call it? The it's the whole amusement
park is closing. I'm aware the whole amusement park was
probably twenty years and it's it's the home to one
of six Flags's oldest roller coasters. Yeah, and it's probably
closing the Maryland one Maryland park, it's Bowie Maryland.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
It's closing because that particular park most likely like instat
and I hate to say this, but like you need
to upgrade rides otherwise you're not going to get new attendance.
You're not going to get new people coming in to
your park. And then what's going to happen is you're
going to have to close and then all the rides
that you wanted to protect are going to be gone anyway.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
But here's the thing. From what it looks like, that
location is a hot, popular location. So then why did
they close it then? Because so what the The CEO
explained that the decision came after a thorough review of the
park portfolio. We considered a variety of possibilities, he said,
and we believe that marketing the property for redevelopment offers
the best return on investment. And this statement has raised

(25:13):
questions from fans who wonder why such a popular location
is being phased out. So I can't listen. I have
no idea.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Wild One is the is the ride?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
What is it? Wild One? Wild One? Yeah, I have
no idea what their earnings are.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Maybe, like we we say it's a hot spot, but
maybe the maintenance that it cost to maintain those rides
was not covered by the amount of people that we're
going to visit the park. If you want to build
giant parks with giant coasters, the maintenance of those coasters
is really into and especially when those coaster companies go

(25:49):
under and they don't want to work with you anymore.
Like I know, I bring it up all the time.
But King Da Kad the company that built it, Intimate,
and they did not want to work with Six Flags
anymore maintaining King Da Ka because I mean, I'm not
gonna blame Intimate, because I'm not gonna lie. Six Flags
made life hell for them. But you know what they

(26:10):
didn't The cost to maintain King Da Ka on their
own for six Flags was not enough for the amount
of people that it brought in, and so they chose
to tear it down. And I would like to believe
that this park is probably the same way. The cost
to maintain those rides was not worth the money that
they were bringing in, simple as that. And it sucks.

(26:32):
And that's why parks need to build new rides, because
if you don't build those new rides, you're not going
to be able to offset the maintenance costs and stuff.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Well, it says the Wooden Wild One.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Well.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
The Wooden Wild one coaster, standing ninety eight feet tall
with an eighty eight foot first drop, has been thrilling
guests for over a century. It was introduced to nineteen
seventeen at Parragon Park in Hull, Massachusetts, and then it's
found its life in Bowie At this park during the
nineteen eighties. They don't know what they're going to do
with it. I hope that the coaster gets sold. That'd

(27:04):
be cool.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
That'd be very cool if somebody sells the coaster, the tracks,
the layout, and all that stuff, because all that stuff
is handmade with wooden roller coasters, at least wooden roller
coasters back then. We didn't have prefabricated wooden roller coasters
back then. It would be sick if somebody saved the coaster.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well what do you call? It's running until November and
twenty twenty five, so you know, you guys can still
see it. If you're interested, you can go check it out.
I just thought that would be something because you are mister,
you know, officionado of roller coasters.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
I thought you were gonna be like, what, No, it's
not so. I mean, yeah, that's what I was actually
expecting to get out of the listen. I get that
gut reaction, but these are companies.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
They need to make money. They can't just maintain. They can't.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
It's kind of like video games, Like everybody cries when
like the video game servers get taken down, like Nintendo
just took down the we you shot and all of
those games are gone. But I understand, Wait after you
bought them. Yeah, well it depends on that. If it's
a fully online game, yeah, you can't play it anymore,
it's gone.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Even if you bought them and you paid for them.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
If it's a fully online game and there's nothing left
to play, the server's not there anymore.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
See, that's not cool. See now, if you paid for
an item and then they say, okay, well we're turning
this off, that's not cool. And that's why I don't
like the new the new thing where it's all downloadable stuff.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
What are you gonna Okay, Fortnite's not gonna last forever.
They're gonna shut down those servers. How do you keep
a game that's entirely online running like for the customer?

Speaker 3 (28:39):
You can't. You can't. But it's also a free game.
Yeah but I but it costs.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
But people have spent thousands of dollars on it with
skins and guns and all that crap, right, so like
they've still spent money on it. My point is that
eventually that game will die, and that game is fully online.
All fully online games, when their servers get cut, that's it.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
They're dead.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
It sucks and it really sad, like in Record Row,
but it is.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
The reality that we have to deal with when it
comes to these things, just like roller coasters. They need
to turn a profit for these companies and if they
are not, they need to go away. Unfortunately, it sucks.
I hate it. I don't like it, but I understand it.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
All right, Well, why don't we do this. Let's take
a quick break. We'll be right back. What's more with imbrimskin?

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Ugh.

Speaker 8 (29:27):
I can't seem to find a hotel room online.

Speaker 6 (29:29):

Speaker 6 (31:56):
And we're back to within Brimskin.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Are we?

Speaker 3 (31:59):
We are very nice? So what do you call it?
I don't know if you saw this yet. It's another thing.
We were talking about video games last segment. I believe
the company is Epic. Is that familiar Epic Games? Epic Games?

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Who does what? What game is Epic Games? I don't know.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
I just know the Epic Games. Are they a mobile
app company? Do they do mobile apps? There?

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Fortnite? Well, Fortnite is in a little bit of trouble anyway,
So Epic is in.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Big, big, big.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
She's in there. They're in big trouble because they just
added Darth Vader to the game, and Darth Vader they
used a Darth Vader voice as AI and AI Darth
Vader voice, and you cannot do that for many reasons. One,
what do you call It's against it's against the rules,

(32:58):
and what do you call it in terms of sag aftra?
And two what do you call it where you would say, okay,
well you can use Oh my god, I can't believe
I just blanked on his name. What's his name, James
Earl Jones? Where, Oh, well you can. You have the
right to use James Earl Jones' voice. Correction, Disney has

(33:18):
the right to use James Earl voices James Earl Jones's
voice for Infinity Eternity after his death, not not Epic games.
So using an AI version of the voice is not.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
A good thing.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, I see that. There's a lot of articles written
about this. Yeah, yeah, it is unfair labor practices. Just
because somebody's dead doesn't mean that you can use AI
to replicate their voice.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
I don't like that.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Not good.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
So I don't know, I don't know, you know what
the situation was. I'm assuming they got Darth Vader with you,
threw a deal with Disney Lucasfilm or you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (33:57):
But assuming there must be some kind of licensing agreement,
but be able to use the.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
Yeah, but how did they get that voice? That's that's
the question, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, but
like Disney can use it, But Disney can use it
for internal things in Disney.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
I believe.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
But what was that agreement anyway?

Speaker 7 (34:15):
Like obviously you must have had to license it to
some extent, But did they just assume that there was
not going to be any kind of like vocals Like I.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Think they probably thought that they were going to.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Use lines from the movie and not using Yeah, just
sounds well because that's what they do with the other characters.
Like when you play Meku, like she just plays like
her songs, like it's just you know, is her most
famous stuff, Sabrina Carpenter, when you play as her, she
just plays her songs.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
You could play Suprena Carpenter in Fortnite, of course you can.

Speaker 6 (34:51):
That was the espresso thing, right.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
Yeah, oh my god, seriously, Yeah, that's her. Those are
all of her skins.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Ouch. Yeah, well they should do a Brimstone Seki actually
play within brimskin. There you go. It's so funny because
it was good all the very well, how dare you
want me? When I that was a really good one.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
All the Sabrina Carpenters refused to kill each other in Fortnite?
Do they just do like dances?

Speaker 10 (35:23):
Say?

Speaker 3 (35:23):
They just at the end.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
Yeah, they just danced together at the end because they
refuse to kill each other.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
It's pretty sure. Haley told me about it or showed me.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
It's hilarious. It's so funny. But anyway, that's it. There's
a lot of Fortnite characters.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
They have, like Undertaker and Fortnite literally everything that's crazy.
I don't know how they get away with that. I
guess licensing right, Well.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
They pay all these people a lot of money. I
would imagine they paid Sabrina Carpenter a lot of money
to get her in Fortnite. My brother downloaded Fortnite just
to play as Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Really, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
I was this close to Downloading's Fortnite just to play
as Miku. But the skin's only available for so long,
so you only have like a couple of months to
buy or to download the game and then buy the
skin if you want to play as that character. And
I missed the window, so and whatever.

Speaker 6 (36:15):
Sorry to hear that.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yeah, yeah, what else was I gonna say? Oh for
those of you who have not seen it yet, please
go check out my instagram at the real Brimstone and
you will see I did a little a little thing
for one of the most famous jingles here in the
at least in the Tri State area on seven Kids car.

Speaker 6 (36:44):
Today.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
So they did a thing a while back and they're
bringing it back now, are they really?

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (36:51):
What I was always convinced that that was a scam.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 6 (36:56):
It's actually the thing because it was cars with a K.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yeah, that's why I thought it was a scam. And
basically what they're doing is it's a it's a you know,
kind of a way to remind people to check their
back seats, not let kids or animals staying in the
cars for you know, never leave them behind everything. So

(37:21):
I did a PSA for them. Okay, I'm sorry, my
brain's not working. Probably no, So what do you call it?
So I did? I did a PSA for cours for kids.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
We did.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
We dropped that today together, so awesome. Yeah, and they
also did they had Bumblefoot and DMC. So I was like,
all right, I guess my friend's doing and I can
do it too, So I got involved. I thought it
was real fun and what do you call it? So
I put that out there also for you guys out
there who are in the Tristate area. You want to
get some awesome ribs. This coming week Saturday, I'm doing

(37:51):
rib King New York City, so make sure you check
that out and get involved in something delicious. I believe
it's in Brooklyn. And also you can check out my
official website. Go to the website, go to the schedule.
You get all the information on all that jazz. You're
also gonna want to check out I have coming up
on what do you call it? June thirteenth through the

(38:14):
fifteenth is the National Barbecue Festival. I'm gonna be judging there.
I've also got the Long Island Popcorn July eleventh and twelfth,
Sci Fi Mini Con July nineteenth, and I also want
to make sure you guys remember to tune in just
another week and just like that. Yeah, May twenty ninth.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
So on Max to check that out the day before
my cheat day there you go back on the thirtieth.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I'll have to watch it and just eat a ton
of popcorn. My brains mush? Why is my brain mush?

Speaker 5 (38:48):
Why is your brain? You know my high the week,
my brain was mush. When I woke up this morning.
I woke up at five am and I was like, man,
I really want to go back to bed. But I
did not go back to bed, I was responding, I
did my morning workout and that stuff. Yeah, day So
I don't know how many days of the workout it's been,

(39:09):
but I do know that I'm on day twenty six
of the diet, so that is kind of cool. I'm
approaching day thirty. I'm very excited for the thirtieth, which
is my cheat day. I'm going to go really crazy and.

Speaker 6 (39:22):
Probably go like balls to the wall.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Yeah, I'm probably.

Speaker 5 (39:24):
Gonna eat like ten thousand calories that day. I've already
planning on going to McDonald's.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
That's it. That's the ten thous calories right there.

Speaker 5 (39:35):
But then like on Saturday and Sunday, I'm purposely gonna
like skip breakfast and just like have protein my protein
drink in the morning and I'm gonna eat low calorie
meals for those two days and so hopefully that'll kind
of offset my craziness.

Speaker 6 (39:50):
Well, I'm just gonna let you know right now, one
cheat day will not offset your week.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
You mean month?

Speaker 6 (39:57):
Well, no, I just mean the whole week. Yeah, so
like you don't have to necessarily like do uh you know, no,
but I'm going to control.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
The next day, I'm going to though, because I'm going
to be horrendous that day. You don't understand. I'm going
to be eating chocolate. I'm gonna eat a half tub
of pen Jerry's ice cream.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Well, all the.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
Things, all the things I can't have right now, well,
not that I can't have, but that I'm not eating.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
Well, then my next advice to you is your stomach
might not be so happy.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
It's not gonna be because your heart is going to
be happy.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
My heart is going to be so happy.

Speaker 6 (40:36):
Stomach might be like, oh my god, what is this?

Speaker 5 (40:40):
Well, that's why I'm doing it over the weekend. That's
that's why the Friday is important. So I have the
weekend to recover.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
I might not even want to eat.

Speaker 5 (40:48):
Breakfast in the morning when I wake up that day,
a mile high French toast, and I don't work out
on the weekend, so I won't even have to worry
about that. I can just two days of rest after
putting myself in a food coma.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
That sounds delightful.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
It's gonna be great.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
You know what makes me crazy?

Speaker 3 (41:08):
What is a skinny ass, some bitch like you sitting
and talking about having to do all this workouts and
everything to lose weight. Did you see his two ebbs
on my leg.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Is bigger than your whole body.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
I'm fully aware, but hey, listen, I wanted to stay
there like a month and a half ago. I showed
you that like I had, like a little, like I
had a little, and it has significant not that kind
of chubb significantly gone down, Okay, as I noticed it
has because I'm the one that lives with it.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
So I did.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
And it's a lot less now, and I'm hoping to
get it even more or less. So I have ebbs
even lets it go.

Speaker 6 (41:46):
He's trying to be healthy.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
He's just trying to be healthy. Actually, I'm trying to
be hot.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
All right, guys, thank you so much for duty in
