Yeah, the real shocker is that we're still doing this Every week, fair.
Speaker 3What number are we on?
Speaker 2Yeah, I was going to say 28, I don't even know Me, neither Are we still using the AI intro.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, we are, and that rocking soundtrack.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's what professionals do Right. Yes, we are. And that rockin' soundtrack yeah, that's what professionals do.
Speaker 1That's right, gotta stick with what we know. That's right. Let me see Is this 28? I think it is. Who even knows?
Speaker 2Does it show up on?
Speaker 1the YouTube titles. Oh no, this is 29.
Speaker 3Oh shit, we're almost 30.
Speaker 2Forever 29.
Speaker 1No, because we're going to be back next week too.
Speaker 2That'll be 29.1.
Speaker 1We're going to be like girls and just stop counting.
Speaker 2Exactly. Besides, when I hit 30, I pull my back, brushing my teeth, so I don't want to see 30. Basic bullshit Brushing my teeth, pulling my back. Want to see 30. Basically brushing my teeth, pull my back. I'm out of work, out of everything, can't move for three days, brushing my damn tears. It really is.
Speaker 3But did anybody from that job text you and ask you how you were doing?
Speaker 2Yes, actually, at least somebody there gave a shit, man that's some shit. So what happened? Oh, I saw two movies this week Since the last one. Right, I went and saw Transformers On Saturday because they're doing an early thing Before the Wednesday early thing, and then Tuesday's Tightwad. Tuesday was Killer's Game. That was entertaining. That was by no means a good movie, but damn, I had fun watching that movie. It was ridiculous, it was so much fun it was just so stupid.
Speaker 1Is that the one with what's in that one Drax With T-Strax?
Speaker 2They gave him the wrong diagnosis on his. Are you going to die? I can relate. Do you have a?
Speaker 3stroke no. The only difference is you didn't have to kill every motherfucker in the hospital. That is true At the end.
Speaker 2I think I could have trying to think of who was in the hospital. I think I think I like my chances. But yeah, that was a fun movie of transformers. Oh my God, I'm telling you. But yeah, that was a fun movie, Transformers. Oh my God, I'm telling you, y'all fire the marketing team. That movie you got to get by the 15, 20 minutes to set up, like every other movie. But damn, then it was just nonstop and fantastic. The development of Megatron and Optimus, the growth of them, how they became who they are in this particular world. Yeah, that was pretty badass. I'm probably going to watch it again if it's that good.
Speaker 1It's a nice 180 from a couple episodes ago and I was like fuck that, nobody watched that movie.
Speaker 3Dude, that's the thing let's do. The trailer review no.
Speaker 2Yeah, that stupidness from the trailer and all the silly crap and all that, that reallyness from the trailer and all the silly crap and all that, that really wasn't even part of the movie. That silliness, you saw it all in one trailer. The rest of it, no. That shit's a drama all the way and it was action-packed drama. It was well done. The character to see, especially and I'm going to be the first to admit I am probably biased because I'm a Decepticon fan but to see Megatron go from what he was to what he became and how they did it, and just to see why and his anger, the whole, I was just like good God, yeah, this movie. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Speaker 2Honestly. I had nothing to do on Saturday. I saw the movie was coming out a week at a time. I was like, yeah, okay, screw it. The second trailer looked pretty good. I'll give it a shot and I'm glad I did. It was a 40-minute drive to get there because obviously there's only going to be in a few theaters because it was an early release. So I had to drive 40 minutes to get there. But, holy crap, I'm glad I did.
Speaker 3I'm telling you y'all are going to enjoy this Spoilers. They just cut out the part in Batman Begins where his parents die, and that's how Megatron became. Megatron Damn it, you're not supposed to tell them what the hell man Joe Cool showed up.
Speaker 1Joe Pride Making Tron's mom's necklace.
Speaker 3Yeah, little pieces of little pieces of energon just hitting the ground.
Speaker 2No, they fell on his chest, and that's how you get the Decepticon insignia there you go. Oh man, speaking of actually, because I remember you have TV tv shows uh, you guys bother with agatha, yet agatha all along no, I watched it last night.
Speaker 3I downloaded it, but I haven't because I'm like no interest in this I didn't mind it.
Speaker 1I mean she's um, it starts off like, uh, like wandavision.
Speaker 1She's like this gruffy backwoods police detective trying to solve a murder of mayor of easttown right yeah like it's based on that show yeah, and they find this, uh, this body in the woods. Uh, she has black fingers and black toes, like somebody did when they died, so so she starts investigating it. And then this other witch shows up and other witch shit happens. Then Agatha's naked, which I wasn't super mad about, right, it was like Venus de Milo Her hair's covering her nips, but butt naked. Otherwise I didn't have a problem with it, it's not? She has to get a coven of witches together so she could go on the yellow brick road or whatever so she can get her powers back.
Speaker 1But no, it's setting up. They dropped two episodes which, thank God, they finally learned their freaking lesson. You cannot just drop one half-hour episode and expect people to be like hells, yeah, let's go, I'm going to be back next week, but it ends with them getting to the road and then who knows what happens next week. I do not like the what's-her-face. Aubrey Plaza's like yep, this is the gayest shit in Marvel ever. You cannot promote stuff like that. It could be the gayest shit ever and that's fine, but don't promote it as such. I don't even think gay people want to know that gay shit's coming out wait, wait.
Speaker 2To be fair, my understanding is she didn't promote that when they were doing the release and everything that one gay dude asked her about it and she just said yes, and it better be, because that's why she signed on, but it's not like by the end of the show there's the biggest gay explosion ever in the Marvel Universe if it's all them, women, who's going to care?
Speaker 3that's also true also, let's be fair, aubrey Plaza she definitely is different, not in a bad way, but I so, let's be fair. Aubrey Plaza she definitely is different, not in a bad way.
Speaker 3But I've seen enough times with her being on Kimmel and Conan O'Brien back in the day, and then she is just a different person. I don't think she even knows yeah, I don't even think she knows what she's going to say the next time. The next thing comes out of her mouth, you know like yeah, I believe that's right, totally, totally um, I liked, I liked her in what was that fx show?
Speaker 2I think it was fx where the x-men legion.
Speaker 3I think I might be right. Yeah, that that might be it, like the X-Men adjacent show.
Speaker 2Yeah, she was great in that. She was great in that. I don't know what the hell the show. They go on vacation to Italy or whatever.
Speaker 3White Lotus.
Speaker 2Yes, that one. She was great in that. She was great in my Old Ass. She was not even in it that long.
Speaker 3Granted the movie's on no newbies. Jack's been drinking.
Speaker 2Well, you hear what I said. Dude, come on now. She was a great mild. You missed the joke. Jack got it, I got it. Oh, okay, why do you think I'm smiling?
Speaker 1I wasn't even in there that long.
Speaker 2Exactly Same.
Speaker 3I mean, yeah, I mean also not, I guess I'm not. You know why I didn't react? Cause I wasn't all about that. Cuddling started all this. I wasn't surprised. I was like oh yep, that checks verified.
Speaker 2But okay, that that being said, where she shouldn't do that, because that's automatically going to turn off half your audience by promoting that shit. Did you find it to be woke the first two episodes?
Witches, Infidelity, and Film Reviews
Speaker 1No, it's just Agatha trying to get her powers back. It's literally that. It's Agatha being Agatha. If you liked Agatha in WandaVision so far, I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 2It's just Agatha being Agatha. I wonder, with all the fussers, like I said, I only saw a little bit of the red carpet stuff where a dude was asking him um, I I hear this is the gayest marvel thing ever. Is this true? And he asked that's like five stars. And all five of them were like yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like okay, I heard about this a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 1I mean, yeah, it was like I didn't care and that you what that was.
Speaker 2that was one of the girls that, the black girl with the shaved head, that was her comment. She's like well, witches are inherently like outcasts, whatever. They're different anyway, so you shouldn't be surprised that if they're some kind of alphabet, you know like, ok, cool. Like I will admit, didn't really know that was going to be a part of the thing, don't really care, as long as that doesn't be the. That's not the focus of the show and it sounds like it's not.
Speaker 3I don't give a fuck so far, but I mean, that was that, but that was one of the things that they used to shrink, used to burn them because, like, because they were witches, right, the whole like not they were witches, but because they were different, like they would use the they would paint the, they would paint the witchcraft thing on them to be like oh yeah, like this is something we can all get behind, right, and it's because dude came home from work, or came home from working at the printing press all day and his wife was getting, you know, munched on by some other girl and it was like whoa hey, hang on, you're now, you're a magic user.
Speaker 2Yeah, come home to that. I'm just mad because you didn't wait for me.
Speaker 1Yeah, you didn't call Bitch. Why didn't you want to invent a camera?
Speaker 2What the heck?
Speaker 3right Nowadays, the guy over there is like okay, hold on Boof.
Speaker 2Nowadays. No excuse. No, excuse your ass better. No excuse. There's FaceTime. There's all types of streaming that can be done. There is no excuse If I come home and see that shit when you had an opportunity to film that, the cuck chair painting it. Right, just like y'all do your thing. I'm good Eating a celery and a paintbrush. How did?
Speaker 3you guys get all. How did you guys all get into this loop and I wasn't involved? What the fuck is happening right now, man?
Speaker 2I'm getting mad thinking about it. Who calls?
Speaker 1Carl, she's waiting someone out. You didn't call me. What the hell.
Speaker 3I'm in your bedroom right now.
Speaker 2I dreamt this. I'm mad at you because I dreamt it, don't even let me dream it.
Speaker 3Jenny we ain't having that.
Speaker 2You better not do that when I'm asleep, or else I'm going to wake up and slap the shit out of you Right, you want to hook up with whatever girl. You hook up with whatever girl you want. But, man, I don't have to play, but I got.
Memories of Movies and Museums
Speaker 3What's the quote If you knock? Me out in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.
Speaker 1There you go. We've been watching this week Fight Night, the Million Dollar Heist on Peacock.
Speaker 2I'm digging it. I heard it's more of a drama and not the expected comedy that people thought it was going to be.
Speaker 1It's straight up drama. There's funny stuff, obviously, but it's like the 60s, when Muhammad was fighting all that shit. Vietnam-ish, but it's just how black people talk to each other. That shit is always funny. And Taraji P Henson's in there. She is funny as hell and she gets to pick on Kevin Hart Makes it more funny.
Speaker 3How everybody but Lou talks.
Speaker 1I'm about to watch a documentary Get educated, I cannot speak how black folk talk.
Speaker 3You try, though, especially when you've been drinking.
Speaker 2Let me check the color settings and list the blackface. Y'all Wait, wait. I can't say that I forgot Last time the ship froze on us.
Speaker 1I'm waiting for both war machines to interact.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, huh man dude, terrence Howard, that hair have, murphy, he's, he's straight pimping. Yeah, he is. Wow, obviously you saw that shit was like. He actually isn't even in the.
Speaker 3He actually wasn't even hired to be in the movie. He happened to be walking by and they were like oh shit with that, get in here right, right, we will make any of us you and he has.
Speaker 1Trash P Hanson. It's like Hustle Flow 2.
Speaker 2Bro, when I saw that trailer I'm like okay, I can see how this fits and then they added Sam Jackson Taryn Manning in.
Speaker 3that Is that because she was in Hustle Flow, right she?
Speaker 1was the white girl. No, there are no white girls on the show.
Speaker 2There's all black people.
Speaker 1No, it takes place in Atlanta, I like that white girl in Hustle.
Speaker 2She's scrawny. Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I break a bitch, but she's still cute. She would not hang out. I haven't seen her in forever. Was she in something else besides that? I mean, I wouldn't recognize her.
Speaker 3I think she was in for a while. Yeah, she was in a few things back in the day, like the early aughts.
Speaker 2Because of her hairstyle and from hustle and flow. I would not have if you said, oh, that's her. I'm like, really I would.
Speaker 1You don't know. It's funny, Duke. If Lou watches hustle and flow, he does turn black. Oh my God.
Speaker 2It is the weirdest thing, dude. It's not, it's not even a joke. I get attitude. It just what's funny. It's like what if I'm I haven't been drunk in a very long time, like absolutely drunk, but if I'm drunk around spanish-speaking?
Speaker 3people, was it I?
Speaker 2can sometimes speak back to them in spanish. It's like what? All this shit is buried back there and it just comes out. But yeah, man, when, when, uh, I watch. That's like one of the few that does it, but as hustle and flow, for sure, man.
Speaker 3Was it the speakeasy Lou? Was what Last time you got drunk?
Speaker 2I think so. Man Shit, that might have been the last time. How many years ago was that?
Speaker 32021, because we were in when it was like 123 degrees out. I'm slacking. We did the go-karts and Jack just fell asleep. Oh, that's right Holding everybody's purses and wallets and shit.
Speaker 2I forgot we had everybody rolled up in the back of the SUV driving around. Okay, that was fun.
Speaker 3We went to that other bar uh, the three, oh five bar, or something like that. It was like it's like it was a task the Tuscany, but yeah it's the one where it's like the name of the bar is like the number of taps they have or something. So it's something like that. Yeah, like the 76 bar or something 365 or something.
Speaker 1There you go yeah, and then one of them bitches butt dialed 911. Yeah that happened I was like I'll handle that.
Speaker 2I was like, wait, just pass over the phone, y'all Just hand it over.
Speaker 3This is Jack Tesh, number bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
Speaker 1Sorry my bad Cancel this call these bitches drunk.
Speaker 2Click Right Emergency override, which override number Exactly.
Speaker 3Do y'all have?
Speaker 2that That'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 3He has 912. He just dials 912 and he's like nope, he's like oh, I'm overriding.
Speaker 2That's not a real call. Just find 11 on the phone. Do the bullshit.
Speaker 3That was a good night, that was such a good night.
Speaker 2Oh man, dude, I'm still through the speakeasy. All, all them bottles of moonshine, what was it? Every every 50 or 75 bucks you spend, you get a bottle. We had like 17 bottles, well, no, it was.
Speaker 3I mean, you remember before, when we were like, oh, like, it's fine, we'll just go to the speakeasy and wait for you guys, not realizing they were going to read every goddamn sign and look at every single picture. And it's like two and a half hours later and they come down and we're like we're on round four, what's up?
Speaker 2I mean, that is that is the way to do it, though if I'm going to a museum, I'm going to something like I did that when I visited, uh, detroit. I went to detroit, you know decade ago or so, and we went to the detroit what is? International art museum, whatever, and they had a samurai display. That was travel, and it happened to be there at this time. I'm the motherfucker that I'll sit there and I will spend four to six hours and I will read everything. If I'm with a group of people, I'll try to be polite. I'll take pictures of the stuff I want to read. I'll read it later.
Speaker 2I'll try to be considerate. Six hours, same thing.
Speaker 3Weirdly, he was doing that at the art museum. It still took six hours because he was sitting there reading.
Speaker 2Just take all the pictures and walk by, click, click, click, click. I'll be in the bathroom. Come out six hours later. Whether I'm in the bathroom or walking to the museum, same six hours. But yeah, I like to get my money's worth. I did it when I went to Omaha or Oklahoma City. I went to both for magic tournaments back in the day. I was in Omaha or Oklahoma City. I went to both for Magic Tournaments back in the day and I wanted to see what was it Fabergé eggs from Russia. They had a tour of that was going on at one of the museums and I wanted to read everything. I was like I want my money's worth. It's like buffet. I want to make sure if I'm going to buffet you're losing money off of me, all right.
Speaker 1I'm going.
Speaker 2That happened last week, dude, after Transformers, I was going to go to a buffet. I'm like, no, I ain't hungry enough. They got good food, I would be fine, but they ain't going to lose money off of me.
Speaker 3Sad part is when we go into the, when we've done the sci-fi museums, and you're reading the stuff about Star Wars and you're like that ain't right. No, can you fix this?
Speaker 1Give me a piece of paper, hold up.
Speaker 2I'm about to wait to see you edit this shit. Y'all done, fucked up eh.
Speaker 3You guys just have a gun that prints out the letters, so that I can just fix this right now.
Speaker 2Yeah, I would have to write. Naturally I would lose my shit if it didn't match.
Speaker 3No, sir, all we do, all we have is 12 fonts. No, I need eight.
Speaker 2Y'all don't understand.
Speaker 3But yeah, you know what?
Speaker 2It's interesting. You just brought up Red Lobster in passing, but I didn't realize that they still have the Monday. All you can eat they had their Monday through Friday specials. They kept the Monday ultimate shrimp On their menu. I did not realize that. Now that I know that, I'll go start going back. I haven't been there since they got rid of that All-Inclusive Shrimp.
Speaker 2But now that I know that that's still around on Mondays, then yeah, I'm like all right, cool, you'll still get my money Because, like I said, ever since that shit happened earlier this year or whatever it was, I haven't been once. I got a gift card and I haven't even been.
Speaker 3Now you got to make up for it. Yeah, for real.
Speaker 2I'm making bankruptcy. Like I said, I'm going to get my dollars.
Speaker 3A month from now, lou's like. By the way, I'm now the CEO. I'm about to do some Joey.
Speaker 1Chestnut exercises Kobayashi, I'm going to do some Joey Chestnut exercises. Kobayashi, I'm going to get all that shit going get my stomach stretched for real what time is it now bitch speaking of Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 3I finally got around. I saw Beetlejuice, beetlejuice on.
Speaker 2Tuesday.
Speaker 3I'm curious why it's Joey Chestnut because there was the guy in the under. He had all the hot dogs in his mouth.
Speaker 2That is true, because I made the same comment when I was watching. I was like, oh, I see what they're doing here. Did the guy that played the dad that died? Did the actor die?
Speaker 3No, he's just a pervert.
Speaker 2Yeah, he went to prison.
Speaker 1He's like a registered sex offender.
Speaker 3so they were like ah, we're good, oh, okay.
Speaker 2I was like I just thought the actor was dead.
Speaker 3I think they would have treated it differently if he was dead. I don't think he would have had half of himself get eaten.
Speaker 1Right, there's a shark just sweating blood everywhere, so was that the joke?
Speaker 2Because he's like a predator, so he'd be eaten by a shark Maybe.
Speaker 3Layers, layers.
Speaker 2Deep, I like it.
Speaker 3I like when he sat down next to the surfer who was missing his lower half, oh right, and he was like cool.
Speaker 2That movie was so bad Really. Yeah, it was some of the parts, man, it had its moments, its parts are better than its whole Right. It's like if they cut that movie up into what's the thing nowadays, tiktok or what's it called Shorts, cut that shit into real shorts or whatever, fine, but as a whole, like the whole story with the boyfriend, that was dumb. Oh, we're just going to plow through that.
Speaker 1That would have worked better if they got the wife, If they got rid of Beetlejuice's wife. That shit was useless.
Speaker 2Absolutely. What was the?
Speaker 3point. Well, so my understanding of what had happened is that Tim Burton originally signed on and then everybody else. Happened is that Tim Burton originally signed on and then everybody else signed on, because Tim Burton had signed on and then Max or Warner Brothers came to him and said oh, we want you to turn this into a series, so they originally wanted to be a miniseries, yeah, tv show instead of a movie. And so then he like said fuck you. No, do you not? Do you know who I am?
Movie Reviews and Pop Culture Discussions
Speaker 3and they wouldn't let him do it until he like basically said, well, I'll do this for like 80 million dollars, and then they said, okay, you can do it as a movie like whatever I don't remember what, but it was like under 100 million, like he had. He had to negotiate to lower the cost of the movie and so I'm guessing there was other stuff, maybe dealing with his ex-wife and stuff like that, or his girlfriend, that weren't, wasn't in the movie, because, yeah, they could have cut her completely out and it wouldn't have changed anything. That happened anything at all, except for the danny devito uho, basically, you know.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm with you. When that was ending I was hoping that boyfriend story if they made that the story, that could have been a lot better Like oh okay, because they could have developed it better. Developed the relationship and then the reveal and all it was like oh, damn Okay.
Speaker 3Even with how it was, it was only an hour and a half movie. So it's like how, like again, it's like when jack cuts the podcast, right, it's like where is the sweet spot? And so like I think there's a longer movie in there and it was either him or it was the studio. That was like okay, like it's an hour and a half and that's all we're giving you, type of thing. Well, he's giving me do shit, like that. It's harry pot was like okay, like it's an hour and a half and that's all we're giving you, a type of thing.
Speaker 2But I always give when they do shit like that. It's Harry Potter three man. It's like you have that. You read the books and it does this high point, low point, high point. Fill in the gaps. Harry Potter movie three only hit the high points through that movie and it made that movie very terrible. I'm glad the TV show is coming out soon and they'll have a chance to fill in all these gaps.
Speaker 3Oh, are you talking about Percy Jackson?
Speaker 2No, harry Potter. If I'm going to fill a gap in in Percy Jackson, fill that.
Speaker 3No, no, no, that's her shin, lou, that's her shin, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Where, where the oysters are hanging out. But yeah, it was just like oh, we have a point. It's like again, I had the moments where I did laugh here and there, but as a movie as a whole it was like god, it was terrible.
Speaker 3But Bob was pretty funny.
Speaker 2Bob was good. I liked Bob.
Speaker 3I felt bad for Bob.
Speaker 2I'm sick of seeing that damn. Beatlemax commercial. If I see that Beatlemax commercial, I'm good.
Speaker 1Look, I'm just glad they haven't started up the Mahomes State Farm commercials yet.
Speaker 2That's a good point. That's a very good point.
Speaker 3I can't believe that hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 1A new one. Yeah, the chefs, that's from last year, though.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's from, that's from last year though. Yeah, that's from a decade before last year.
Speaker 1I haven't seen any Mahomes State Farm yet.
Speaker 2I don't know if I've seen as Mahomes commercials.
Speaker 3I still try to avoid commercials like the Plague. That's why I thank God for Red Zone.
Speaker 1You know what happens when you don't watch commercials. Duke People have to do Kickstarters and crowdfunding to get their products out.
Speaker 3I was going to talk about the other movie that I saw first what else did you see?
Speaker 2Last night? I saw 1982.
Speaker 3So it was Tyrese.
Speaker 2That was a Snoop Dogg movie.
Speaker 1I mean the Death Row movie.
Speaker 3No, it was Tyrese and Ray Liotta. Yeah, it was produced by Death.
Speaker 1Row.
Speaker 3Oh, it was a Death Row production.
Speaker 2Yeah, was it bad, was that that Riot movie?
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, it happens when the Riots happen.
Speaker 2Yeah, but is it about the Ri happening or something Kind of like?
Speaker 3tangentially, it's during the riots, it's like you have your story and then around it is all the stuff with the riots.
Speaker 2Well, what's the story then? Because I thought it was just a documentary about the riots.
Speaker 3Well, so basically Tyrese works at he's had. They didn't really go into it a whole lot, but they give the impression that he was. He like an og, got busted, went to jail, came out, his wife or girlfriend and her mom died in some sort of an accident. So now he has to take care of his kid. His kid's a teenager, like young teenager how long was he in jail?
Speaker 2was that? How long was he in jail?
Speaker 3they didn't like I said, they didn't go into a whole lot of it like no or at least I don't remember. I mean, if they said it it was like a passing comment.
Speaker 2But did he know his wife and wife and mom-in-law were dead?
Speaker 3well, they had a con. Him and his son had a conversation about it, so he was like, hey, like I'm just trying to do my best. And then he was basically like, well, if mom and grandma were still here. And he's like, well, they're not type of thing.
Speaker 2Like I'm all thinking he got out of jail and didn't realize they were dead okay, no, no, no, no so then.
Speaker 3So they kind of give the impression that he's trying to get custody, but it's, it's in process, right, because of his past it's becoming a problem. So he works at this factory that makes catalytic converters, and then Ray Liotta's son is casing the joint, because to make catalytic converters you gotta have platinum. So they have, and some of this was in the trailer, but basically they have a giant vault of platinum that they're like well, we're never gonna break past all of the security and all the cameras and all the stuff that they have right, and it's in Vernon, which is where I used to work, in like the heart of where the riots happened. And so then they announced that you know, the, the cops who beat rodney king were all not found, not guilty, and the riot starts and then they go oh, it's go time.
Speaker 3So then tyrese finds his son wandering around, just kind of like he's like he hasn't committed to like actually doing any larceny or stealing or anything, but he's wandering around like, oh, should I do it? Should I do it? And tyrese comes up and is like, get in the goddamn car, like, and so then they go to, they go to this factory because they think it's going to be safer than their house. And then they meet up with the gang and then this stuff happens right. Tyrese ends up being like a super badass, of course, like straight, just slapping people. He's like the guy who walks up and is like bam and people are like on the ground, like unconscious, like it was that so, but I mean Ray Liotta, one of his last performances, so I mean you know, but you could tell like he he's probably wasn't like doing super well at that point, but it was. I mean it was fine for like a heist movie, a low budget heist movie, which is basically what it was like.
Speaker 2I had no idea that was a heist movie. I seriously thought it was just like we're gonna do a documentary, like it was basically about the riots.
Speaker 3And, like I said, tangentially, like stuff happens around the riots, but but yeah, but that's not the focus of the movie. Correct, yeah, I'm surprised dude.
Speaker 2That's 30 years later and nobody's made a movie about that yet. A theatrical movie. There's some TV movies.
Speaker 3I've seen.
Speaker 2Or at least I've heard of.
Speaker 3I've seen a couple documentaries and stuff, but I haven't seen we all lived it.
Speaker 2No shit, I don't know, I would have thought it would have came out after George Floyd was martyred how many world trade center movies have we gotten?
Speaker 34?
Speaker 220 4 in the theater and then 16 others.
Speaker 3I enjoyed it. It was fine, I didn't fall asleep during it hour and 40 minutes something like that it was like an hour 37 because I was like I'm going to go up and play video games. I just got done eating 9.05. So it was like an hour 37 because I was like, okay, I'm going to go up and play video games, all right, I just got done eating. Okay, okay, cool, 9.05. Yeah, so it was like an hour 35., something like that.
Speaker 2All right, so Do we want to talk about.
Speaker 3PulseCon a little bit, because I know we talked about that a little bit in chat or in texting while it was going on.
Speaker 1It was underwhelming, underwhelming. Yeah, it was not a lot of talk about there, it was every. I was hoping they would reveal something cool. I mean the prince, these are figures cool. You know, it's about time that happens, and I guess on some of the press materials they said they're going to release a dash, so that'll be cool that is.
Speaker 2uh, I did not know that, so that's cool.
Speaker 3And then they announced the cantina or not the Tatooine Street.
Collecting Star Wars Memorabilia and Figures
Speaker 2Yeah, that's kind of cool. Yeah, to go with your Aslab. Yeah, I thought I tell you what y'all, if I was working and they dropped Grimlock to $1,000, I would have paid for that thing, right, $1,700 down to $1,000?
Speaker 1$1,700 or $1,500 or something like that.
Speaker 2It was $1,700 last year. However, if you bought it on-site at Comic-Con, it was $1,500. And now it's $1,000. It was like man, let this unemployment go through November. Government's about to pay for it, dan.
Speaker 3I like the GI Joe announcements. Those were kind of cool. I kind of like that they have the virtual Hall of Fame now, so hopefully next year they'll get Larry Hammett in it, because he was like I mean as far as what separated GI Joe from all the other kind of war based soldier? I think he had a lot to me. He had the biggest To me, he had the biggest influence on it over really anybody else Agreed.
Speaker 1I didn't watch any of the Transformers stuff.
Speaker 2I was waiting for it.
Speaker 3Did they make their next HasLab announcement?
Speaker 1They're making one at New York Comic Con. It's like Ghostbusters again. Ah okay, I was shocked. Is it related, based on the teaser image they keep showing.
Speaker 2Oh, from the new movie maybe.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2Three three-quarter inch, Three and three-fourth inch scale.
Speaker 1They already announced that, though.
Speaker 3They had that at Comic-Con. Oh, I didn't even see that. We were so distracted by the Rattler Dude.
Speaker 2that thing was so badass though God dog, that thing was so badass. I'll tell you what I was, shocked though. I was looking to see, like after the fact, like I don't know, yesterday, day before, what things have sold out.
Speaker 2a lot of the marvel toys sold out, pre-sold out those legends have been selling really well lately uh-huh, the zandar sold out, uh, luke, uh, black series linch sold out, uh-huh, uh, this few things, like I was, I was just not I was just underwhelmed with the stuff that they that they the for as posable and stuff like that as they are.
Speaker 3I was super underwhelmed with the stuff that they for as posable and stuff like that as they are. I was super underwhelmed with, like the number of accessories that they came with, like the Black Series. But again, I also haven't been clear.
Speaker 1Black Series doesn't come with a lot of accessories at all they come with a lot of accessories.
Speaker 3$27 F that well, I mean, I think we were talking about that last week, jack. It's ridiculous. There's no way I would have ever collected Star Wars toys if I was a kid. Now my parents would have been like nah, nah.
Speaker 2I remember when I started Red Card 95, and the very first one was a Vader and a 3PO and I was homesick. I got it brought to me as a gift. It was, I think the sticker was $4.97 or something like that.
Speaker 1Something like that, yeah, it was like $500, something like that, yeah.
Speaker 2That bright-ass green sticker on the upper right corner. It said KB and it was $4.97. And then obviously it eventually went up to $5.99 or whatever it was. It was about that $5.00, $6.00 for the longest time. When I saw that those vintage figures were like $13.00 a piece, I'm like you're out of your damn mind. No, and they come with nothing. It was just you gotta be kidding.
Speaker 3F that no way $13.00 for a three authorical that should be your black series cost yeah, that when episode one came out, and I think they were like eight bucks and we were like something yeah what's up with that?
Speaker 1but at least they came with a cool microchip.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say I think it was 699 799. I think you're right about that it was it went up to eight8. But it did, it had that. But you have the little communicator to read all the ComTech. Yep, yep.
Speaker 3Yep. But yeah, like now, I go into the store and I look and I'm like I mean they're cool, but I'm not paying no $27 for it.
Speaker 2There's not too many. The Thrawn I don't know if yours already shipped, if you got it, Jack, but the Black Series Thrawn that came out the same time the Rebels Chopper and Sabine came out. Mine just shipped. There's a few that I'll get. This is weird. I don't even get all the Vaders in this line. I got the white Infinities vader, uh so that would look pretty cool, and if there, I mean if there's something that's pretty cool, I'd grab it.
Speaker 2But uh, but I got a thrawn, but there's not a whole lot other than that. That I'm like, oh, that's I, I'm with you. I walk by looking at transformers. I do collect all the transformers to the u86, um, and and I'll go through that aisle and in that same aisle is a Star Wars. I'll walk down halfway through the aisle and go look, it's like, oh, that's cool, there's a lot of stuff here.
Speaker 2That's cool, that's cool, that's cool, that's cool. That price. Okay, turn around, I'm out. You know, let me go find a durable section. There's some shit for $4.97. That, that's cheap, I can handle that.
Speaker 3But, yeah $4.97. Yeah, so glad that I decided to just keep the bus and get rid of all the figures that I had at one point, because I was just like Took all mine in storage.
Speaker 2Yeah, figures, bus Sold most of mine. I'm sure eventually I will. And then I always get the same question Well, if you're going to sell it all, why do you have a storage? I'm like because if I brought it here and kept it, I'd have to have a two-bedroom, and the cost of a two-bedroom is more than the cost of a one-bedroom and a storage. That's why it's still cheaper to do it this way Until I eventually sell it all.
Speaker 3But the time to go through all of it because obviously I'm only gonna keep one line of stuff, like the stuff that I had the most memories related to with you guys, and whatever was the the um general giant bus, and so I was like, okay, like those, that's what I'm gonna keep, you know, and I bought like eight of those big costco tubs and that's where they're at. You know, eventually I'll probably, you know, once I paint this room and get it organized somewhat, I'll get them up on shelves. Yeah, I'll bust out the bus, but then and then I'll work on getting you know backfilling, you know cause I think at this point, in general, I think they're around. You know there are reasons, they're still reasonable. A period of time, too, when the Gentle Giant stuff was just disgusting, the new stuff is disgusting.
Speaker 1I started picking up a couple here and there, I got Krasantan, I got a couple Sabines CAD. They're pushing like $120, $130.
Speaker 2For what we were paying $70 for. Dude, when I started off getting bust in 05, 06, 07, whatever it was, it was $45 a piece.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2But to your like what to keep, I do have a feeling that, when all is said and done, it's only going to be the Gentle Giant and Sideshow, mostly anyway. Because I'll keep Gentle Giant, I'll keep Sideshow, mostly anyway. Because I'll keep gentle giant, I'll keep sideshow the other things that'll be maybes, like the code three. I'll probably keep the code three, especially since I have the signed uh, james earl jones versions of a save.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're not allowed to get rid of that anymore.
Speaker 2Yeah, that ain't going anywhere that that the james earl. I think I have the vader's tie and the lightsaber oh, I have a bunch of the mini lightsabers still.
Speaker 2Well, the lightsaber was matched to replicas. I think I know the TIE Fighter was Code 3. Vader's tie was Code 3. Yeah, no, the 3D posters that they did Because Celebration 3 had an exclusive, I think, of one of them. So those type of I don't want to call them high-end but non-figures. I so those type of I don't want to call them high-end but non-figures. I'll probably keep those and then all the figures will go. The ship's already gone 12-inch. I still have all those. The Unleashed I have the complete set of Unleashed.
Speaker 3Still All the cinema scenes, all that shit, I will say, sitting in the high-end Star Wars collectibles panel at Comic-Con. Some of that stuff looks really fucking awesome, like the one that had the bust. So they have, I think they have a uh, they've already released a um venom and it's like the bust is like the bus, but then at the bottom down towards the neck, they've like done a bunch of scenes kind of like that are related to the character and so they had they. They talked about they're releasing one for Vader and like it's his helmet, but then at the bottom, kind of around the nape of his neck, is like the dual of the fates fight. You know him fighting Luke, him, you know him throwing you know like a bunch of different kind of almost mini dioramas, like to kind of show the story. And I was really impressed. I thought the quality of that was really really good.
Speaker 2Are they statues? A small one like that.
Speaker 3They're like a 1-2 scale or 2-1. Was it 1-2? It's not a full size, but it's like half the size. It's not a full size, but it's.
Speaker 2One half scale, yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, but I think the mall was, yeah, kind of in that same vein of the mall, where the mall with the platform, but these were like busts where, like it was almost like there was like a smoke effect around the meter. Around, like this part of his head, and then in that smoke they had different.
Speaker 1Lick your finger and then do that again.
Speaker 2Right here.
Speaker 3Right at the point of his breathing mask. Out of all the stuff that I saw that they showed, I was most impressed with that. That would be something, too, where it's like you're going to buy one every. They're only only gonna release one every two years. This isn't gonna be like, uh, where they're like here's another 50 figures that are 35 each. It is like here's a bus that costs 1200, but you don't have to worry about that for two more years. You know, and they were, and they said that they were working on trying to fix. They said they were trying. Was that that's not bad? 50 bucks a month? Yeah, they said that they were working on trying to figure out.
Speaker 2They said they were trying to. What's that? That's not bad. 50 bucks a month, yeah.
Speaker 3They said that they were trying to figure out if they could put electronics in it to make the head, the lightning, go. You see the inside of where you saw his skull and stuff like that.
Speaker 2Like a return.
Crowdfunding and Toy Companies Strategy
Speaker 3I'm like, oh shit, if you could pull that off, like that'd be a legit, that would be something I definitely would be interested in. But then they gave them all one way and they gave it away to the guy sitting next to me and I was really upset about that. Lesson learned never sit in the middle of the aisles at comic-con, because if they're, if you're in a panel with giveaways, they always walk down the middle aisle and they always look at you as they walk by and you're just like you're not. Nope, nope.
Speaker 3Oh okay, it's fine, no, it's fine. Then, five minutes later, you're like me, oh, okay.
Speaker 2Nope that's good yeah.
Speaker 3So yeah, Sorry, that was a tangent off of the PulseCon stuff.
Speaker 2No, no, no, toys is kind of on point. We're on topic so.
Speaker 3But I guess, to go back to what Jack had mentioned earlier About me being annoyed by Large companies taking advantage Of platforms like Kickstarter, Last week's Cliffhanger. Last week's cliffhanger. Last week's cliffhanger, yep Teaser. So saying that I think the HasLab stuff is exactly how the large companies should do it. Where it's on their platform, it's on their dime right, like they're the ones that are.
Speaker 3I mean, again they dollars off of the rad work right, it is well, again, the the total, whatever it's going to cost them, right, but at the end of the day, right, they have a guaranteed nine million dollars outside of the random cancellations, right I guess you do have 30 days to cancel yeah yeah but I mean, let's say it goes from 9.8 to 9.6.
Speaker 3I mean it's still a substantial amount of money, right? Nobody's canceling yeah, nobody's canceling. But it just really bugs me when, like, the companies like that go to Kickstarter and I get, if it's a partnership with Kickstarter, it's like a promotional thing. But when they just start, like to me I'm like, okay, if you're a big enough company, if you're a General Giant or you're a McFarland Toys or whatever, like you're a NECA, for example, or whatever, like you shouldn't need to use Kickstarter. You should follow the Haslet. In my opinion, right To me, kickstarter and stuff is for, like, the three of us come up with an idea for a board game and we want to see if people are interested in it or not.
Speaker 3And we want to see if people are interested in it or not, that's cool. But as far as like them coming and saying, oh yeah, like it's the quickest kickstarter ever, the largest kickstarter, well, no shit, because it's already an established, established company with a history and they're selling a figure, that or a whatever. It is a tachki that probably already has a line behind it. Like, of course, you're going to make the most money off of it, but also. You should have that on your own shit. That's my two cents on that.
Speaker 1That being said, I did back the McFarlane Medieval Spawn that they just closed and it looks badass.
Speaker 2This is definitely a you guys thing. I didn't know Kickstarter was a company. I thought that was just a thing you did.
Speaker 1No Kickstartercom.
Speaker 2Yeah, I did not know that was it. I was like, oh, there's a Kickstarter for this. I'm like, oh, okay, cool, I didn't know it was actually Kickstarter. It's like Jacuzzi. I didn't know Jacuzzi was a brand. I knew Tupperware was. You know stuff like that. I thought that, hey, let's hang out at the Jacuzzi. I was like, oh no, it's not okay. Like, yeah, I didn't know Kickstarter was a thing like that. I think I would support that, duke, the way you're talking about it. I would have to think that, the way HasLab does it, where here's an idea, we made one prototype and basically it could be tweaked, uh, and if you guys, we get enough people that want to buy it, uh, great, we'll make it, because there's probably a lot of things out there that I mean it's hard for the company to take that risk like, oh, we're gonna make this thing. It's three hundred dollars, people aren't gonna buy it and he just lost a bunch of money when it's on sale and it doesn't want it on the shelf because they're taking up seven shelves.
Speaker 3But remember all the shit that Hasbro and Mattel used to do back in the day when Toys R Us was a thing. How much of that shit that they would. It would show up and the box would be huge and it would just sit there because it would be $350 and you're like like nobody's going to buy that. Like now they're being a little more strategic about it, you know yeah, the best thing that they've that they've come up with a lot and I you know what.
Speaker 3I am totally fine with them saying, okay, well, cool, so the cantina was a fucking huge success. Now we can now we know we can probably come out with the streets, the tatooine street, and that's going to follow that line. Right, because they had that slide during pulse con where they were like, right, we want to, we wanted to replicate what, the, the sheet in the old catalog. You know, you would buy the, you would buy aIE fighter and it would have the catalog of what was coming out. And they're wanting to replicate that with that street stuff which, to me, if I was buying it, I'd be like fuck, yeah, like that's awesome that you're going to focus on filling out that scene as opposed to just saying, well, you have a cantina and you have a street, moving on, you know like more and you have a street moving on.
Speaker 2I'm more curious on where they get their determinations. We'll make this if we sell $6,000, $4,000, or $3,000, or $12,000. I understand there's a numbers game and the cost to make it and what they expect in profit, but the question is, what's the ROI? So if your return on investment is whatever percentage wise, okay, it's fine. But at what point do we get to the greedy factor? Right, it's like, oh, we could break even at 6,000, but we're not going to make it unless we hit 10,000.
Speaker 2To me it's like those numbers I'd really like to know, because some of these numbers, you know facts, but sometimes like that, it's like wait, you got so close but you're not going to do it. Like how.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, like the Cantina, they hit all but one tier, so we're not getting the Wolfman. I don't remember how far they were from maxing out, but now we're not getting the Wolfman.
Speaker 3I don't remember how far they were from maxing out, but now we're not getting the Wolfman allegedly, but obviously they already have a tooling for the Wolfman, right, like I feel they at least had it. Further, they wouldn't offer it, I feel like, unless they hadn't already invested some time into developing the figure Right. I really I mean to be honest with you I really liked the Lego. What Lego does is like you just go to the lego site and they have a thing where you could literally put in anything at all. They'll put it up on their site as far as something you can vote on, and once it gets a certain percentage of votes or a certain number of votes, then they see if it's something that they can do, and I mean they basically own the, the license for every single pop culture thing for the most part, they got a Jaws boat.
Speaker 1We were at the Lego store and they had a Jaws boat there, right yeah.
Speaker 3So they probably have a big deal with all the Universal stuff, you know. But I like the fact that you can just go on there and say, hey, I want to see this. And if you go to the site and look and say, oh, I want that, I want that too. And if you go to the site and look and say, oh, I want that, I want that too, once it gets to a certain point, they go, oh, okay, can we?
Speaker 2make this happen, that's their version of HasLab.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's called Lego Labs or Lego Creations or something. I think it's Lego.
Speaker 3Creations. I think you're right. The creation sounds right and oftentimes you just emit something, you just fill it out and, like I said, you can literally ask for anything and if there's no, I think they do their legal due diligence right If there's some sort of conflict with Mega blocks or some shit, something like that.
Speaker 3They won't put it up on the list. They came up with a whole series of flowers because somebody like put I want, I want a tulip I've made out of legos, and it was like it went up the list and they were like, oh okay, now there's a series of flowers that you can buy.
Speaker 1Yeah, we even got some my wife got like sunflowers or some shit it rose when I had target the last couple weeks ago yeah, yeah, but I believe that came from the, the creations.
Speaker 3Like I don't think that was something that they I don't even. I'll be honest with you. I think they lean on the creations for a lot of their stuff, as far as at least what they're they should that's that there's your audience telling you what they want.
Speaker 2That's exactly what they should do lego.
Speaker 3People are cray though the prices they pay for some of that shit. Jesus Talk about a $27 figure.
Speaker 2Yeah, lego man, but again those minifigs dude some of those minifigs ridiculous. I don't know if you saw I would almost buy it.
Speaker 1They have a giant-ass Star Destroyer right yeah, probably $300. But it comes with a Cal Kestis minifigure. I'm like maybe You'd be prying that out of the plastic and then like nope, it's fine.
Speaker 3I'm just going to return this Exactly. I'm going to pull that shit out.
Speaker 2Pretend it's a Ninja Turtle from Walmart and just swap it out.
Speaker 3Just put in a little rock Right.
Speaker 2Damn I still. I still have you know my episode three Lego sealed in box.
Speaker 1Um the turbo tank for good money turbo tank arc one 70.
Speaker 2Uh, at least, though I can't remember what the other ones I have, but but I still have those two sealed when I was moving storages Few years back. Uh, those two sealed. When I was moving storages a few years back, uh, I came across that box. I'm like, oh, I've never opened these. All right, close it back up and put it in storage.
Speaker 1That's cool that I own that.
Speaker 2Exactly it was literally me looking over, leaning into the box. I don't know what this box, uh, I opened it up I was like, oh cool, episode three, legos it's basically opening night when all the toys came out. Whatever Legos were available opening night, that's what's all in there. So I don't remember what they made, except I remember seeing like visually looking at that night, was Turbo Tank and the ARC-170. So whatever else is there, I have it. So there's probably a Starfighter. If they made a Starfighter or a Vulture droid or whatever else, whatever they made, I probablyer or a Vulture droid or whatever else, whatever they made. I probably got those in that box too. But I only saw the ones up top.
Speaker 3Real quick, it is LEGO Ideas. Okay, so close, you can submit and then you can vote on it.
Speaker 1So it's kind of cool. Now I'm wondering, talking about LEGOs, I wonder if I got rid of my jabba's palace.
Lego Crowdfunding and Toy Strategy
Speaker 3that was a good set so, like right now, the the ones that they're like promoting is like a vintage billiards table, a kinetic tin toy, a train, lake house, the muppet theater with operational stages sold. That actually looks really cool. Statler and Waldorf. Yeah, yeah yeah, hang on. Can I share my screen real quick?
Speaker 2You know, speaking of the whole Episode 3 Legos I still have, Remember there was limited to 500? It was like the Royal Guard or something like that with Vader.
Speaker 1It was a little cube.
Speaker 2Yeah, I still have mine.
Speaker 3Tell me that doesn't look badass.
Speaker 2That's pretty cool. Like 585 days left.
Speaker 3Well it's, they post it for a long time, two years to vote, good lord. Well, and so, right now, they know what's the estimated cost?
Speaker 2I don't see that on there.
Speaker 3I don't know if they tell you.
Speaker 2Cause if it ain't too expensive. Yeah, yeah, I'd be all over that Official Lego comments.
Speaker 3That looks pretty cool.
Speaker 2Will our audience be able to see this screenshot?
Speaker 3Maybe I think so. Yeah, I guess we're global. Oh, okay, so the number, the days is that it adds on days as people vote for it. It looks like.
Speaker 2So the vote never gets made, got it?
Speaker 3Well, so they just passed 1,000 supporters on September 13th so what, two weeks ago, no, like a week ago, and they've already doubled the number of so but yeah, that actually looks really cool. That's it. They did a really good job with that.
Speaker 2but yeah, I mean, that's, that's just so somebody says they want the Muppet theater, and then Lego goes and designs it and then puts it up there. So that, yeah, and then you just vote on it, and the more votes you get, the longer time you have to do it.
Speaker 3Okay, all right, that's solid, so like the Jaws, it got 10,000 supporters, that's cool. So then it okay, so you have to get 10,000 supporters. It looks like Now officially advance this project to the review phase, and it took them a year.
Speaker 2So, 10,000.
Speaker 3Is that it?
Speaker 2Six months, yeah, but they don't care about time, it's about number of supporters. So for them, 10,000. Is it 10,000 on any project? Because HasLab is not, I think so. It's different because the cost is different, right?
Speaker 3Well, so this passed 10,000 supporters and they announced it on November 7th and then May 31st. They approved it and then you said you saw it right. One of you guys said you saw it. Yeah, it's at the Legos store.
Speaker 2Wasn't it downtown Disney.
Speaker 1We saw it for sure. We were just at downtownown Summerlin. They have a legal store there now. We were over there.
Speaker 3That's kind of cool Types of bridges, but yeah.
Speaker 2That's not a terrible way to do, I guess. A Kickstarter type thing, hash lab type thing, I'm alright with that. That seems pretty cool.
Speaker 3I think it's kind of original. If you can get enough people to support it, then yeah, we'll at least evaluate it and let you know. You know so.
Speaker 1I did another Kickstarter recently, Lou. You remember May 4th this year or something? The dude had the pins with the Clone Wars dropships and the clones hanging off of a chain.
Speaker 2Hanging off the chain yes.
Speaker 1So I didn't get all of them and he was like well, I'll do a Kickstarter and I'll add a couple others so you can get the ones you didn't get. So I did that one. I think he funded in like an hour or two, just based on what he needed to sell for it to be funded.
Speaker 2Right. I think that's going to be the key. Like I said, is the minimum going to be the break-even point, or is the minimum going to? Be, I want to make at least this much money and I'd be very curious about that, especially Hasbro, because I have to imagine that a few of their things, like their tiers and their numbers, they need to lower that shit sometimes.
Speaker 1Sometimes I've heard that they probably don't make a lot of money on that stuff, just because, well, like the proton pack, you know that thing was pretty badass. There's no way they made a ton of money on it, just the research development, all that stuff.
Speaker 2Technology these days. 3d, everything these days, I mean it's not. It doesn't take a whole hell of a lot to get it done anymore with current technology. If this was 30 years ago, yeah, I would imagine those numbers that we're seeing would have to be doubled minimum to get to that point. Now, shit, what is it? Freaking cookie cutter shit. With a lot of this these days, even with the higher end like the ProtonPak, I wouldn't be surprised. So I don't know. We'll see.
Star Wars Collecting and Wedding Attire
Speaker 3We can have a longer conversation at one point, but I'd be curious to to hear what you guys think as far as like when we were kids and toys, like how toys were made and that toys were necessarily directed at us, and now today, like do you think like toys? That's what I'm saying Like has it been? You think like as we have gotten older, the toys have changed to keep us in the loop?
Speaker 2Well, kind of maybe I don't want to say neglecting kids that are out there today, but like but again, if I'd just end up saying no, because or we wouldn't have 14 different Vaders every year and Lukes every year, Because the reason why they do that is for the new fans coming in. It's like, oh cool, I want a Vader. Oh, they made that in 1995, so you can't find one.
Speaker 2No, they keep doing it every other year. So it's like, oh my God, how many of blah blah blah are they going to make of this? Well, they have to make it every year because there are staple characters and the new generation. Every year is a new fan coming up, because a six-year-old who hated Star Wars last year loves it. It's seven years old now and loves it. And that's just the thing. So now, if they can rope us in in the process on some of the stuff, okay great, that's just a bonus.
Speaker 2But there's so much stuff. Think about it. Great, that's just a bonus, but there's so much stuff. Think about it. Go to your Target Walmart aisle and you see, especially Asia's 3+. There's so much stuff that's still targeted for the littles. There's no way any of us would buy that stuff. Zero chance that we would buy any of it.
Speaker 1He said, buying a case full of doorbells.
Speaker 3There's no 3-plus on that. It's a 0-plus zero plus.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's different dude, and that's where I was out tonight too. I hit all the walmart, not all, but I hit three walmart's looking for the series two, galaxy peaks, series two, since they're starting to hit now. Didn't find anything, but I did find two more adorable. Uh, squish a lot. Marie's no, jack's that was. I mean jack's been hard to find. I've only gotten two ever, but I've gotten like five, so I have to go to.
Speaker 3So today I was we start recorded late because I was in hood river for a wedding thing, so I wore this shirt. So this is now my official hood river wine drinking shirt. Um, I got like another half a dozen compliments on it. People love the shit out of this shirt. Man. For the actual wedding, do I wear a dig up a drip or do I just wear a regular shirt Because it's cocktail?
Speaker 2attire.
Speaker 3You're going to a wedding, dude, you dress up for a wedding right Do you Is dig up a drip, not dressing up.
Speaker 2No, you're going to a cocktail party before or after the wedding. You better be in a button up with a tie. You need a cummerbund.
Speaker 3You very well may need a cummerbund, depending on how things go.
Speaker 1Hello, maybe come in her bun, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3Wedding crashers.
Speaker 2That's what I'm saying. All right, fine, no, dig up a drip on Saturday saying like uh, all right, fine, no, dig of a drip on saturday. Fine, it depends. Like I said, I don't know what the dress is, if it's. If it's, if it does say you know, black tie, cocktail, whatever. No, you're not. You're not wearing something with the logo on it or pop culture on it, you're wearing yoda. I mean, you could put on some yoda cufflinks. How about that? You can accessorize cocktail cufflinks for my wedding.
Speaker 1Yeah see, you can, totally can accessorize cocktail cuff links from my wedding.
Board Games and White People Activities
Speaker 3Yeah see, you can totally, absolutely accessorize, but they're, they're somebody wouldn't let me have a whole star wars wedding oh well, I mean, we talked about it and then you decided to go marry a woman and I mean, that's just on you. That is that I would let you have a star wars wedding baby. It wasn't legal back then.
Speaker 2Oh yeah in that case, then I can't support it.
Speaker 3And then we'd have to change the name of the podcast to Two Gays and a White Guy. Totes approves and people who tune in would be like wait a second, which one's?
Speaker 1which, and then Lou starts talking like oh, I'm running.
Speaker 2Don't take them all in five seconds. Figure that shit out. Unless I had just seen hustle and flow the night before, I was like I'm going to whoop that trick. Oh my God. I swear, go in there and give me that microphone. So uh, I don't, I mean we haven't and give me that microphone.
Speaker 3So I mean, we haven't talked much about board games. I'm guessing at some point we probably should. Why? I was like why?
Speaker 2I was like, says the guy who plays board games on his Xbox all day.
Speaker 3Yeah, okay, carcassonne, carcassonne. You gotta play it on your PS5.
Speaker 2Sellers of Catan.
Speaker 3If you haven't played the Clone Wars, it's just Star Wars, the Clone Wars.
Speaker 2Board game.
Speaker 3Yeah, there's a Star Wars the Clone Wars board game that's based on the pandemic board game rules. It's actually really fun and it's a short like each game lasts about 60 minutes, but basically it's one of those like you have to go through and destroy, you pick one of like six Jedi I think Six Jedi and you're fighting the Separatist forces, and it's based on the pandemic rules which, like everybody goes and does their thing but then, like you roll for the enemy, you know. So it's a PVE. Basically Everybody is together working to defeat this thing and it can get pretty hairy when you have four or five people because the number of droids and the number of stuff that get lands on planets and you know there's punishments and stuff like that. But, um, we're doing a guy's game night tomorrow, so I'm going to take that, we're going to play that again just as an fyi.
Speaker 2I don't know what pandemic is yeah, let's wait for it to stop, just so I can say are we supposed to know what pandemic is?
Speaker 3um, it's one of those things like it's hard to explain because unless you've played it like it's. So pandemic is one of those games where, like, there is a life to the game, where it actually some of the stuff that you do, where you'll like tear a card up, so it's like almost kind of like a one and done, you'll mark cards and that type of thing. Um, this game you don't do any of that, they don't have. The cards are the same every like. You're not.
Speaker 3But pandemic is one of those where it's supposed to be played like over sessions and basically you're you're working to prevent it. You're you're a group of scientists supposed to work together to prevent a pandemic and the pandemic is basically the board game, right, like the pandemic is the, the germ or the um, the thing you're fighting against it. So you'll do one thing and it will react based on that type of thing. Uh, and then, um, I've never actually played pandemic, but when I saw that there was a star wars version of pandemic I was like everybody that I know of that has actually played pandemic, has had a ton of fun playing it. So I was like I'll check this out of. That has actually played Pandemic has had a ton of fun playing it. So I was like I'll check this out. And we've actually had a couple of board game nights where you've played it and it's fun.
Speaker 2Is this that same or similar to Comic-Con? I was with you for a bit. You were talking to that one girl about some board game, no, and the box was freaking ginormous the whole.
Speaker 3Yeah, that, and the box was freaking ginormous. That's Gloomhaven. The box weighs like 50 pounds. That thing was ridiculous. That game is so big because you actually the joke with that game is you could actually spend more time setting up and breaking down that game than actually playing the game, because that's a dungeon crawler.
Speaker 3It looked it Holy shit when I handed it to you and you were like down that game than actually playing the game because that's a dungeon, so yeah, but I yeah when I when I handed it to you and you were like oh shit, yeah, I was not.
Speaker 2This thing was ridiculous, it was crazy.
Speaker 3Yeah, see them, see them, see that box behind you, jack, yeah imagine that, speaking of that, why you still got boxes behind you, son.
Speaker 1Oh, so I use this box as a table. This box changes, so I don't have to move in and over.
Speaker 2I like it.
Speaker 1I like it.
Speaker 2Oh my God, you got to protect that back.
Speaker 1Exactly, I still got way too much to pack up. I started bringing the boxes down out of the garage.
Speaker 2Those are the ones to get down your bus boxes so you can pack the bus stuff.
Speaker 3What's your timeline? I'm hoping next weekend.
Speaker 2I was going to say 10 days.
Speaker 1Give or take Nice, because the closet is supposed to get done Monday. I don't know if that's if we can go. Shit.
Speaker 3You'll have to send us a picture of what the backyard looks like right now. So then when we show up and go ooh, I'll be there in three weeks, I'm not even going to worry about it. I might be there at some point. We'll see December. Yeah Well, yeah, I'll be there, yeah you'll be there December.
Speaker 2I'll be there twice in October.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah. We've been picking out like stone and tiles and shit for the pool. Last week we went to go pick out plants big old shade trees in the backyard Native plants hopefully.
Speaker 2Yes, no, I think they call them indigenous plants.
Speaker 1Indian plants.
Speaker 2What you have to give them back. So bad, for sure what We've already got an hour and ten minutes. How'd that happen?
Speaker 3I mean, this has been a good episode, boys.
Speaker 2I agree that went fast Well in that case let me skip ahead to to Okay, I didn't quite do White people shit. That'll happen on Saturday when I go see Empire Strikes Back with the symphony. However, I had to shut down Some white people shit Real quick.
Speaker 2So about three days ago it was too white for you, dude, you tell me. You guys tell me, because you're the white people here, so you guys tell me. So about three days ago, so wanted to show me something on the phone and it was like hey, would you consider this? I was like what are you talking about? It was matching Christmas pajamas. I'm like are you?
Speaker 2out your damn mind. Then she said but they're star wars and I still like no, no, uh-uh, no. Matching pajamas. I'm white, I ain't that white, what the hell y'all. So now you tell me what do y'all do?
Speaker 1matching pajamas we have, oh, we did christ Christmas pajamas when we were four of us.
Speaker 2Only once.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was just one time.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, all right. There's no way, you're getting the older one to do that now.
Speaker 1Actually, I wanted to. Now that I have a nephew, I'm like it'd be cute to have all three of them together and she said the only way she would do it is if it was pajamas. She will not wear a Christmas dress, but she said, if it was pajamas, she'd be okay with it.
Speaker 2I can see that Even just the four of y'all I can see her participating in it if it's cool. I went to the beach. It was a club called the Beach in Las Vegas and it was 2002.
Speaker 3And Leonardo DiCaprio was there with some 25 year old. I'm sure the same 25 year old he's getting now Like it was her daughter now. Weirdly, he's still at the beach with a 25-year-old 22 years later. Crazy how they don't age. But yeah, I think that type of stuff is fine, because I think there's a difference between saying, hey, I'd like for you guys to come and do this stuff versus oh man, you never make time for me. I think there's a way to say it.
Speaker 2Yeah, how you put it out there matters too, Like I'm obviously totally not against going up to Portland and now we start adding things as well Again between the soccer team that we can add stuff to between the WNBA that's showing up in two years.
Speaker 3And Rose City Common Ground, like if we could like figure out a way. Yeah, now there's Rose.
Magazines, Sports, and Entertainment Busybodies
Speaker 2City. There's options now of not just hey, let's just go hang out and we'll wing it. Now it's like, oh, let's hang out and do this and do this and this, and it's like all these things are starting to fall into place where it's like, okay, cool, and you don't have to worry about. Well, not that entertaining ourselves.
Speaker 3Let's be real, we can have nothing on the agenda and we will be entertained yeah.
Speaker 1And alcohol to the mix in the apartment.
Speaker 3Oh my God, What'd you do this weekend?
Speaker 1I went to Portland and got drunk. Did you go see anything?
Speaker 2Nah, I don't remember. I don't remember. Good thing Duke's on the board. How about that?
Speaker 3He's on his HOA. Lou, stop trying to climb over the board. How about that? He's on his HOA, so we're good Lou stop trying to climb over the fence.
Speaker 2I'm against the rules. What's up?
Speaker 3Lou all up on the top of the fence like a goddamn chipmunk.
Speaker 2Wait, is Lou naked? Depends what kind of fence you got, he might be.
Speaker 1Get some tickles going on.
Speaker 2That's the right fence, I'll walk back and forth. Oh, that's good, you're the best fence ever. Oh shit. So what y'all guys got going on besides Comic-Con tickets on Saturday? Well, not that Duke can help.
Speaker 1Yeah, so I got that. Little One's baseball season starts. Probably going to have to miss that because it's Comic-Con tickets. Girl Scout bridging ceremony, share at the Smith Center. Yeah, probably Share, play or whatever.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And then a Girl Scout fall product rally. So Saturday, what is that? Cookies? No, not cookies. It's like nuts and candies and magazines and shit. Send it to you when it comes out.
Speaker 3You know we'll take care of you. I'm cool with subscribing for a year of National Geographic for $8.
Speaker 2Do they still make magazines?
Speaker 1Yeah, Old people bro.
Speaker 2Yeah, they got about 20 more years of that. Then I used to be a Sports Illustrated subscriber, but I just wanted the free jacket.
Speaker 3I used to get them all. I was in Inside Sports, Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, All of those. The Sporting News where it was actually the newspaper that they folded in half and put in the Maxim was my jam.
Speaker 2Maxim.
Speaker 3Playboy Penthouse. What was the other one? That was like Maxim Nintendo Power.
Speaker 1No Nintendo Power, that was like Maxim Nintendo Power.
Speaker 3No, Nintendo Power was not like Maxim.
Speaker 2I mean it was depending on Depends on what you're into FHM For Him Magazine, I think.
Speaker 1There you go, fhm, exactly.
Speaker 3There's still a website you can go and sign up for Actual print copies oh, wow, wow. Yeah, so Maxim is still published.
Speaker 2There's a website called Stripley.
Speaker 3What the hell.
Speaker 2GQ oh, there's still a.
Speaker 3Thing. Forbes FHM still a. Thing.
Speaker 2Life Is Life still a magazine that's produced.
Speaker 3I think so Esquire, oh Esquire was one of those ones when you're like oh now I'm a fancy motherfucker. You'd read the article and it'd be like the top five men's belts to wear with your tweed suit To wear at a wedding when you're not wearing a proper shirt. So I think a lot, I think a lot, but I think, I think, I think a lot of these two are are international, like I think internationally like a lot of magazines are still very prevalent.
Speaker 2so I'm just thinking, I just you don't hear it. Media.
Speaker 3Complex Details. Details was the one, not FHM Details. Megan Details was like the one that was between Maxim and Esquire, where they had a little bit of lifestyle stuff but then they also were like the top 100 hottest girls in the world. I love Esquire. Same Cosmo's still there. Cosmo still does his thing.
Speaker 1I read those at work. The girls be leaving them in the drawers. Pull it out. I'm like, hmm, I'm finding out how I know my boyfriend's cheating on me and then suddenly they stop bringing them to work. That was weird, because you'd fill out, you'd circle everything I was. I'm like shit. Let me get over to this crossword puzzle in your People magazine Yep.
Speaker 2That's a big Southwest airline Just like hey, can I get a different magazine, Because this one's got the crossword filled out.
Speaker 3I need a new one. I looked at all three of them on my aisle and they're all used For real.
Speaker 2it's like I had the whole aisle to myself, All six seats in all of them. Somebody already messed with the crossword. Can I get a clean one please? I've done that a long time, but I used to do that. Now I just play games on my phone.
Speaker 3Lou out here with his gloves filling out the crossword puzzle.
Speaker 2No, I'm not a germaphobe.
Speaker 3I just don't like the feel of it Sticky icky Sadly half of those magazines are sticky icky because the kids are like SkyMall Magazine.
Speaker 2I missed that. That's some good shit. He's taking notes. Let me get the website. They had some pieces like how is this stuff invented and we don't know about it unless you fly on a damn plane. That's stupid. There's some good products, like like I've always I don't know 30 years ago. It's a thing now, but I haven't really seen too much on it. But 30 years ago I was like why don't they have goggles so it looks like you're in a theater, because they can obviously do the depth of your eyes. How is that not a thing? Well, it's a thing now, but I first saw that freaking Skyball.
Speaker 1Yeah, for $6,000.
Speaker 2Uh-huh.
Speaker 3And it was just two little pieces of glass that were in the way, so you couldn't actually see anything in front of you. You were like I can't go anywhere, but this is awesome.
Speaker 2But the whole immersive station. I'd be all about that man. Give me a helmet that would surround sound the whole thing and it looks like you're watching a 20-foot TV.
Speaker 3Now they can do that we were out here with doc Brown's helmet from back to the future. Yup Right.
Speaker 2It's like why is there a colander on your head?
Speaker 3Don't worry, science.
Speaker 2Right, science bitches, uh, but yeah, I think I think that's it, for, like I have Saturday, obviously comic-con tickets will be saturday morning, and then usc plays michigan, uh, in the afternoon, and then the star wars symphony oh raiders on sunday oh, you got a home game, your first home game, huh yep finally um raiders versus jacksonville we gonna win.
Speaker 3I say you can't you better not lose that game?
Speaker 1That should be. That's gonna be embarrassing.
Speaker 2Trevor Lawrence ain't won a game In seven straight.
Speaker 1So is he gonna we beat the Ravens.
Speaker 2That's your positive all year. You're already good to go.
Speaker 3You gotta win at least two more. You're playing with house money right now.
Speaker 2my friend as long as they beat the Broncos twice, we're good.
Speaker 1I need the Broncos to go Broncos have never beat the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 2That is true. That is true. That streak is alive. It's so great out here. Like I told you guys, I only listen to sports radio when the Broncos lose, so I've been able to listen to it for the last 10 episodes. After the two losses, this week will be, hopefully, another loss play in Tampa Bay. Yeah, I got Tampa Bay 37, broncos 10. Everybody's already panicking. The coach sucks, nick sucks, I'm like dude. Hecos 10. Everybody's already panicking. The coach sucks, nick sucks, I'm like dude. He's a rookie. Calm, the hell down. The coach actually might suck, that might actually be true?
Speaker 3Yeah, no, the coach is the biggest piece of shit ever.
Speaker 2Well, there's that also. I'm not a fan, just as a person.
Speaker 3Did he coach in the Broncos? No, it's Sean Payton, diddy. Is Diddy coaching the Broncos? No, it's Sean Payton.
Speaker 1That reminds me. Did y'all know he got arrested? Yup, federal charges, bruh.
Speaker 3Yeah, I didn't know that Him and his 1,000 bottles of baby oil.
Speaker 2Bruh, it was like 6 o'clock. I realized that today. I was like what is all this Diddy meme? Obviously I knew it was going on, but I didn't know he actually got arrested.
Speaker 1For all that bullshit right.
Speaker 3It finally got to the point of they had enough to at least bring him in, and they denied his bail too.
Speaker 1He's been in jail for like five days now. Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3What happens?
Speaker 1with him and.
Speaker 2Suge cross paths though Right man. So now the question is who's he going to throw under the bus? Mace Trump?
Speaker 3He's going to throw the whole family.
Speaker 1I was just a poor black man, and Donald Trump badly influenced me. He does that.
Speaker 3Wait, are we talking about Lou or are we talking about Diddy?
Speaker 2Yes, shit.
Speaker 3All right On that note, we'll talk about Diddy next week. We'll do an entertainment report next week.
Speaker 2What about you, Duke? What do you got this weekend Wedding? It's going to get late. We got a wedding Wedding and then softball on Sunday.
Speaker 3Two more weeks of softball and then I'm done for the year.
Speaker 2Right on, almost there. Wait, what about playoffs?
Speaker 3If we make them. We haven't been playing great this season, so you know the next two weeks we play against teams that haven't won any games at all, so it's possible that we'll end up.
Speaker 2Are you eliminated from playoff contention? Not yet.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2So you're telling me they're still achieving.
Speaker 3So we're rooting for you, dean. Thanks, man. I appreciate that. I kind of want Softball to just be over, to be honest, I'm just good with it.
Speaker 1We need to show up to one of his games like surprise, Our body's paining and shit, Big old foam fingers, and shit going yeah.
Speaker 3Wait. No, that's the wrong finger. It was the only one they had.
Speaker 2We won't have party hats on, though we're going to practice some cheerleading routines just for you. By the way.
Speaker 3I spent like an hour vacuuming.
Speaker 2How funky is your chicken?
Speaker 3I spent an hour vacuuming and I'm still fucking finding paper, oh my.
Speaker 2God From last week. Yep, oh shit, that's funny, oh Lord.
Speaker 1Cat Cat'll find it all.
Speaker 2Did y'all hear about that minor league baseball player that got booted from the team?
Speaker 1Uh-uh.
Speaker 2They were like in the playoffs or something like that, or about to be, or. I think they were in the playoffs and he was the cat. It was a catcher and he was tipping pitches to the opposing team, letting them know so they could hit and score and beat them, because he wanted the season to be over. He was like I'm done.
Speaker 3That's what I'm going to be doing. Just tell them you don't want to play anymore and go home.
Speaker 2You don't have to fuck the rest of your team like that.
Speaker 1I guess Duke does have a son out there.
Speaker 2Yeah, damn it. As soon as duke said I kind of wanted to be over that. I went right to that. That catcher always knew duke was actually I am.
Speaker 3She's been putting me a catcher a lot lately and I'm just like but it's fine, she puts me there because she knows I'm not gonna like. There's a lot of people on our team who kind of like like the position they play in, and if they're like, oh, why do I have to coach? It's like well, because everybody asks you You're a team fucker. Yeah.
Speaker 2You're a team player. I don't know.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're a team for the bitches, yeah.
Speaker 3Big A's.
Speaker 2Honestly, if I'm playing softball, I'd want to be the catcher, that way if somebody's coming home. Oh, honestly, if I'm playing softball, I'd want to be the catcher, that way if somebody's coming home oh.
Speaker 1I get to play football. Now. I'm taking your ass out. I'm the only one on the field with padding bitch. Let's go.
Speaker 2It's a friendly game. Yeah, I'm going to friendly.
Speaker 1Chuck his ass too. We're going to be all right.
Speaker 2I'll buy him a beer afterwards, but first I'm going to run his ass over. I missed that. In baseball they got rid of that whole collision at the plate thing, cause you have to stand a certain way. Baseball has a bunch of.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's my weekend, maybe I'll see what's playing, but I mean I think I counted like five movies between now and the end of the year that I have any interest in seeing For all that list you gave us a couple of weeks back, you only had like one. I mean so much of that stuff was the beginning of the year too. I'm just talking about between now and like the end of December. There's just not a ton of stuff.
Speaker 3I just remember that Black Rambo well and it's like I've watched a couple videos where they're like ooh, is Venom, is the third Venom going to make any money? I'm like there ain't shit. I looked at when it comes out and there ain't shit else. On going on, it's going to make a ton of money just by default because they happen to pick a great spot. But I mean, this is the result of the writer's strike is he still the hotness? I still like him. That's all. I'll take People go watch him.
Speaker 2All I know is next weekend I'm going to be freaking, showing up with some freaking tissues with me when I go watch Wild Robot. I can't even watch a trailer without tearing up. Wait, which one Wild Robot? I watch it Every time. When I went to go see Killer's Game on Tuesday, I was like please don't show that trailer.
