JDL Season 1 Episode 40

Send us a text message! Tell us what you think!

Ever mixed up Cliff Notes with Sparknotes while cramming for exams? We have, and trust us, it’s led to some hilariously unplanned Einstein diversions. This episode kicks off with a rollicking chat about podcasting with friends, cultural shifts in comedy, and whimsical debates on whether Jude Law could outshine zombies, all peppered with our unabashed love for "Blazing Saddles." Prepare for laughter as we stumble into the peculiar world of Star Wars "Skeleton Crew" series, weighing its charms and quirks, and pondering the bizarre yet entertaining return of Palpatine via Fortnite.

Hop aboard our Star Wars adventure, where we dissect the naivety of intergalactic children and the head-scratching group dynamics that leave us both amused and bemused. We speculate on the broader Star Wars lore, debating if ancient coins could unlock new mysteries in this post-Jedi era. Alongside these cinematic musings, our Disneyland escapades offer tales of lightsaber-building mishaps, Millennium Falcon misadventures, and spontaneous splurges on exclusive collectibles. Our passion for theme parks and road trips shines through, with anecdotes of Funko store visits and nostalgic Del Taco pit stops, keeping the fun alive.

As we wrap up our whimsical journey, we reflect on the chaos of Disneyland’s rides and the unexpected delights post-fireworks. Our lively banter extends to weekend football plans, the quirks of hanging toilet paper, and our audacious attempts to outsmart parking fees. We might even venture into the uncharted territory of poop talk—because why not? Expect a show that’s as unpredictable as our road trips, filled with laughter, nostalgia, and the promise of more antics to come in future episodes.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

It's been a while yeah.

Speaker 2:

First one in December, I think yeah. Yeah, because we were AI Halfway through the month.

Speaker 1:

That was just me and Lou, and then we canceled last week. I didn't even do AI last week. That's probably a good idea, so busy last week. Do we want to count this as episode one of season two? No, season two starts February.

Speaker 2:

I think that's February. February, that's what I said. February, you have to accept my dialect. I believe that's how it's done these days.

Speaker 3:

Hmm.

Speaker 1:

Maybe it'll be on a Wednesday. It might be. Every day is a Wednesday, Wait what?

Speaker 2:

It's crazy, it's a Wednesday. Alright, super Wednesday.

Speaker 1:

Hey, my cousin's now listening to the podcast, so we gotta be uh, we gotta be cool Sir.

Speaker 2:

We're gonna be cool to somebody who don't know Cliff's note still exists Really.

Speaker 1:

I did get a clarification on that, so we're gonna, we're going to. I got it from my, uh, younger cousin, right, if it's her daughter, it's the second cousin, second cousin, your first cousin's child.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, your second cousin. So I'm not saying that Spanx or whatever the hell.

Speaker 1:

That other one, that's Spanx Lou. That's the Cliff Notes porn. No wonder Lou didn't pass, because he kept going to the Spanx. Notes and he was like alright, I'm enjoying it. He's like I'm writing this paper on fucking Einstein and I got Alberta Einstein writing a half a paper about anal.

Speaker 2:

I mean, didn't he study black holes?

Speaker 1:

Her bush looked like Einstein's hair.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, I got confused. And when you?

Speaker 1:

drop an ass low, it does Exactly. I got confused. And when you drop an ass low, it does stay low, just to say the law of gravity.

Speaker 1:

When an ass drops it stays dropped Exactly. Oh shit, we are too funny, Hilarious. So Sparknotes is the website, Just to clarify. So I guess they're still referred to, is it always Cliff Notes? They're still referred to as Cliff's Notes and my response to her is what the fuck did Cliff do to get loose his notes? Mm-hmm, a dad joke, hashtag dad joke, poor Cliff. Should we talk about some of the jokes that we talked about at the no, we're not trying to get canceled here I mean Are you afraid we're going to get demonetized? Forget demonetized?

Speaker 2:

I don't know. Don't let us play that Holy hell, those jokes.

Speaker 1:

This isn't the Joe Rogan podcast. We can't do that. Yeah, it's shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he won't get canceled. He'll just get a bigger paycheck from somebody else. Must be real. That's okay, though that's okay, but Dan, those jokes were funny, I ain't going to lie.

Speaker 1:

Especially after a couple drinks.

Speaker 2:

Sorry y'all, we can't. It was very smart, smartly written jokes. I'll say that. Very well done, but the content of the jokes may be a little much for today's generation. Yes, yes, if if you like blazing saddles, you would have liked these jokes. But we can't tell them cause they won't show blazing saddles anymore.

Speaker 3:

So there you go.

Speaker 2:

Wait, that's not a joke. I say that shit daily. Come on now. That's how Lou wake up in the morning Soon as I walk into the office. I don't even say that, I gotta record it. Hit play, we're good to go.

Speaker 1:

It's a little figure of Lou. He pushes a button and it's like the singing of.

Speaker 2:

Exactly. I'm gonna turn myself into a bass on a wall. Where do I wait me that? We over here, lou, let me come push your button.

Speaker 3:

That's my job. Don't ask me twice. Let me come push your button.

Speaker 2:

That's my job, don't ask me twice.

Speaker 1:

Let's do this. Well, it's been a couple weeks, boys, how are you doing?

Speaker 2:

Oh, my God, Been good. We have so much to talk about. We haven't caught up on recent sports and, more importantly, recent skeleton crew, three episodes out. Right, jack is all about it. You know he's grabbing the balls and sucking all the skeleton crew out of that one.

Speaker 1:

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's kids in that show. Maybe not Also. That's Jude Law, though that man is sexy.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I was going to say Jude.

Speaker 1:

Law. He is a handsome fella.

Speaker 2:

He really is.

Speaker 1:

The balls were already drained four times. That's how we got the four protagonists of the show.

Speaker 2:

I was watching Drew Law, my balls drained four times.

Speaker 1:

I'm glad it's only a half an hour episode. You'd be all emaciated and shit on the podcast, lou, what's going on? God, I wish the skeleton crew wasn't an hour. I'm so dehydrated.

Speaker 2:

I saw Drew Law. Then they filmed my skeleton-looking ass. In the 28 Years Later trailer you saw that zombie pulling up, looking like all bone. Yeah, that was me. After Jude Law I was like I'm drained.

Speaker 1:

People thought that that was Killian Murphy and he's like no Wait what. Yeah, that zombie they're like. Oh, killian Murphy came back.

Speaker 3:

Wait what? Yeah that zombie?

Speaker 1:

They're like oh, Killian Murphy came back. Well, because most people saw it on their computer monitors and a lot of people still got tiny-ass computer monitors, that's true.

Speaker 2:

Okay, what's that say about him?

Speaker 1:

though I guess he does kind of look like a zombie though.

Speaker 2:

He does look kind of yeah, I was going to say he did do.

Speaker 1:

I saw a scarecrow. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's like Christian Bale doing the machinist, but like all the time. But see, every time I think about him, it is 28 days later and he's just butt-ass naked, yep, hair half-shaved and shit.

Speaker 2:

I like both of those movies 28 days, 28 weeks.

Speaker 1:

How did they skip 28? That's not a big enough time jump. No, okay, I know it's only two plus years.

Speaker 2:

Even during the trailer there are hours, days, weeks. Okay, fine, you don't have to make a movie, but at least they get there. Nope, they skip. Nope they are too. I was waiting for it.

Speaker 1:

Okay, you're finally going to do it. Supposedlyly, this is the beginning of another Trilogy too. I don't know. How are you going to begin a trilogy, it's also like setting up the next one is what I read.

Speaker 2:

You can't have a start of a trilogy without finishing the first one.

Speaker 1:

So this will finish. This will be like a transition, right 28 decades later. Yeah, 28 centuries later, everybody's just white, it's just light, zombies and spaceships. Zombie light.

Speaker 2:

Did the other two movies explain how they lived? Are they eating? Because it's a rage virus. So you're just beating people up, but how physically, are they still alive? You know what I mean?

Speaker 1:

It's like they would have died off that's, I missed an explanation the first two movies, but see that that wasn't 28 months later that she didn't watch damn it but that that's a whole podcast on its own. We should, we should definitely do a podcast of like weird movie stuff that never made sense to us and I think that would fit perfect in there. Like how, how is it if you're not eating, and you're just because they're not eating, they're not actually enjoying?

Speaker 2:

it's just beating people, they're just, yeah, chewing on them.

Speaker 1:

You know how do the, how are the zombies so fast? And what you know, dawn of the dead, you know those. I think we could probably come up with a whole list of things that we look back on when we movies and tv shows that just never made any sense to us and have a good, have a good chat about it. But yeah, no, that's something I definitely. I've definitely had conversations with other people about, with the hey, how are the zombies still around 28? You know, if they've already killed everybody that they're going to kill, in general, right, there's going to be little pockets where. But but if you're like you happen to be stuck somewhere at a rest stop somewhere and you've already killed all the homeless people, what are you going to do after that?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like I said, hopefully they explain it, I'm okay with it. Exposition's fine, I'll take it for this, just explain it. But they leave it open and I'm just like, okay, it's going to be hard for me to critically. Anyway, I'll have to watch it a second time so I can appreciate it as a fan cannot with you lou speaking of which?

Speaker 1:

have you? Have you watched skeleton crew twice?

Speaker 2:

yeah, I have okay both, all three episodes I've seen twice, so critical lou isn't too hot on it. No, critical lou cannot stand it, it's let me. Let me take that back. Let me take that back are we wait?

Speaker 1:

wait real quick. Are we quick? Are we spoiling? Oh yeah, for sure, Okay.

Speaker 2:

For sure. It's obviously not made for me. If you have kids or are a kid, you will probably like this show.

Speaker 1:

Check and check.

Speaker 2:

Right, it's like, but it's not god awful either, because I'm curious at what's happening, like how is it going to play out and what's going on with the hidden planet and all there. There's some curiosity there and it has me reeled in for that, but I won't. I don't know if I could go as far as to say that is good as in how they're doing it. Okay, maybe, but does that make it a good show? Not for me, for other people I think there's an audience for it. I'm just not their audience and that's fine for everybody, because I wasn't their audience. It was never made for me. So how it's going to tie into the bigger picture because everything disney plus does is tying into somehow. Palpatine returned, so I'm sure this is going to have some return. When did he come back?

Speaker 1:

yeah, fortnight, it was on fortnight. Okay, they had an event that would not surprise me these days. No, it did happen, it did actually happen.

Speaker 2:

I was gonna say, that is how palpatine came back. They announced it in fortnight, right before episode nine came out yep, I think it wasn't, wasn't it that speech thing, that radio broadcast, whatever, yeah, yeah, that was going off. Uh, it actually happened and they had a crossover and yay, I found out because of the lego movie, you know, that came out a couple months ago, so that's how I knew about it I wish they, I wish they had a movie that explained it.

Speaker 2:

It would be nice that would be nice, but they'd have to actually make a movie where he's in it first, so they haven't done that I mean you know, so they don't need me, because if they did that, obviously they would explain it. They wouldn't just throw some stupid line at it. Also, now he's here, they wouldn't do nothing like that at all, not at all Completely unrelated to everything else.

Speaker 1:

They would explain it with some sort of Sith cloning, dark magic stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Alright, see, now you're theorizing. Like let's just stop with the theorizing Unless we know fact.

Speaker 2:

That's fair. We shouldn't do that. That's fair, we shouldn't do that. But yeah, uh, the first episode, I was like whatever the second episode?

Speaker 3:

my thought was I'm glad they made it a two episode premiere.

Speaker 2:

Second episode was a little better, still wasn't great. Third episode was pretty good. For what it is anyway, we're pretty good. The scale, the bar is really low, so for pretty good. But again, I enjoyed as a, as a critic, whatever as a fan, I enjoyed episode three. Uh, as a once I whatever as a fan, I enjoyed episode three. Once I watched the second time I was like, okay, now we're not looking for whatever, just sit there and enjoy it with some popcorn. It was actually a fun episode and I love that bird freaking. Kim, right, you should have bought her.

Speaker 1:

You should have bought that poppet Right.

Speaker 2:

I thought the same thing as soon as she put oh wait, I shouldn't assume people's gender. This is Disney, so we never know what the hell they're doing. I saw Lightyear, so with that one. I saw that at freaking At the Funko store last week and I was like I know what the hell this is. And then I saw the episode and was like Damn, should have bought that Funko Pop. That character was cool.

Speaker 1:

Would have got you another hundred100 and you could have got another Winnie the Pooh, another.

Speaker 2:

Winnie the Pooh, yeah Show would have.

Speaker 1:

I'm liking it, though I can just watch shit. I don't have to criticize anything, I'll just sit back and watch it. So for me it's fine. It's Star Wars. Enough, you can tell it's Star Wars. There's aliens and hyperspace and all that junk, so see what happens. Plus, hondo might show up. His ship was already in it. Oh, did you confirm that, did you?

Speaker 3:

go look at that all right uh yeah, but I like it I I think.

Speaker 2:

I think, as the story, there were five episodes left. It's an what? Eight episode series and yeah, exactly, and I think it'll keep growing on me as a fan. As a critic, I don't know if I'm ever going to appreciate it. I'm not saying that I can't, it's just that they need to wow me and they haven't yet. Critically speaking, fan speaking, I'm already. Two was better than one, three was better than two episodes, so it's already growing on me where I'm liking it more. Again, I said I said the same thing would probably happen like it did with wandavision had to get through the first four episodes before I actually enjoyed it. Same thing here. I'll probably get through the first four episodes before. It's like, okay, now we're going somewhere he said that about acolyte too, though.

Speaker 2:

So oh, that is. Yeah, there is. There is that I had. I had what the trailer for acolyte was. So good man, I thought that was gonna be such a good show I don't understand.

Speaker 1:

I mean I think right now, like skeleton crew is like 95 on rotten tomatoes, which is pretty crazy. It's like the highest rated disney not sure how streaming disney plus streaming series. But I mean I agree a lot with what Lou said about the with his critic hat. Like obviously the show isn't meant for me, you know, which is fine. I'm not saying you know, again, not everything that Star Wars is meant for me, right?

Speaker 2:

Like we were talking about how many episodes of Young Jedi Adventures have you watched? Right Zero Zero.

Speaker 1:

Well, and even the Star Wars, the the most recent lego, even destinies, not everybody watched that the well, the most recent lego, the four episode thing, but but again, not for us. That was not made for us, right like that. That was definitely, and that's something that I think people have our generation has a hard time accepting is that we expect all star wars, all star trek, all marvel, all x right, whatever fandom that you're part of. That, oh well, they're gonna. Whatever they make, they're gonna make it for us, you know. And when it's not, it's like, well, fuck this, I don't care about it anymore. And and there are aspects of skeleton crew that I do like I think you know the jude law thing is going to. I think is going to be an interesting development, you know it's.

Speaker 1:

It's when we're sitting in a room and somebody goes some, you know nondescript, you know extra goes, oh, where are you guys from? And then one of the kids goes out at and then, like, three others are like what do you mean at, at and at at? And'm like what do you? Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up. And maybe kids are that dumb that that's what they do these days. But I was just.

Speaker 1:

There was a lot of that. They don't know that they're from a special planet. That's just boring ass suburbia star Wars to them. So they don't know that, but I guess the like the time they talk about it it's like an exclamation and we have to like draw attention to ourselves. And I'm like just because they're on a bunch of pirates though, but my point is that's the stuff that stood out to me as being like annoying. But they have kind of tone or the like hey, let's all stay together, and then they immediately all go different directions and I'm just like I get one of them going off. I like max rebo with the nice hair. I know he's not a Max Rebo, but he's still just going to be Rebo with the nice hair to me forever and ever. Bro, neil Nation, accept it, neil, he has a name. His name is Neil, neil with the nice hair.

Speaker 1:

Neil with the nice hair. I think it'll be interesting to see what happens to the parents. I know there was a conversation about that in our chat when it came out, but I definitely think that the mom knows way more about what's going on than anybody else does.

Speaker 2:

Nah, I think the dad knows more.

Speaker 1:

No, I think the dad's going to be surprised. I think the dad is supposed to be us right, like the protagonist as far as that goes, because when he's like we have to go to the supervisor and she's like I'm gonna go talk to him, like wait a second. They kind of give this impression that the droids kind of run everything. There's like an ambassadorship and like the students and stuff like that, but everything's run for the most part. A lot of it's run by the, by the robots I just saw the big tag hate you guys wait, what's this?

Speaker 1:

oh no, my internet's dropping out. Oh no, Wait.

Speaker 2:

So what was it? The lesbian moms and the dad? They were analysts, I thought.

Speaker 1:

Well, I mean they established that in the first episode was that you took this test and the test either made you no, no, no, I get that.

Speaker 2:

Just go back to the parents no, no, no for the parents. For the parents, Tell me, because I don't remember which two were the analysts.

Speaker 1:

What's the kid's name? Kip, kp, the droid. The droid girl is.

Speaker 2:

KP. Okay, that was one. The other one was an analyst too. I can't remember, was it the mom or the dad.

Speaker 1:

The dad. The dad's an analyst. That's Wim's whole thing. My dad's just well the debt. So that's because that's his whole. That's when win's whole thing is. My dad's just a boring analyst. I want to do so much more. Yeah, like that's his whole. That's his whole. Character arc is that he wants to become more than his dad. What?

Speaker 2:

what was the mom's?

Speaker 3:

uh she was a mom no, no, no, the girl, yeah, there's yeah yeah, she's an ambassador or something she has.

Speaker 1:

She's not an analyst. She's an ambassador or something. She's not an analyst. She's like a person.

Speaker 2:

Right, I know she's not an analyst. I only have two of them analysts Administrator, or something.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think they refer to her as an administrator, but they don't like it's not like an administrator of the school. It kind of felt more global the impression that I got from it.

Speaker 2:

I don't know that any of them will know what's going on while said and done. I mean, it doesn't seem.

Speaker 1:

I'm only speaking from the mom's the the administrator, from fern's mom's reactions, where it seems that to me it seems like she knows more because they'll come in and be like oh yeah, we should just listen to whatever the droids say. You know that type of thing and and the badge like facts of the episode or whatever and like the badge that she gives Fern for being like the best student in the world or whatever, is like really old Orabesh, like if you break up the badge and it talks about like old world and some other stuff. That gives me the impression that she has a better idea about what's going on than the other parents. Does. She know that much more? I'm not sure, but so, that's what we're doing.

Speaker 1:

Was that KOTAR? It's just going to set up KOTAR. There we go.

Speaker 2:

I mean, it is supposed to be what? A thousand years? The way this planet, it seems like they're a thousand years.

Speaker 1:

That coin planet. It seems like they're a thousand. That coin, wasn't that a high, not older than high, republic?

Speaker 2:

yeah right that's yeah, they've gone through the clone.

Speaker 1:

They've gone through the clone wars, the galactic republic, the high. Well they've, they've done the high republic, the galactic, the clone wars, the empire, empire, the new republic, and now we're where we're at, right. In New Republic, yeah, yeah this is like Mando, five-ish years after Jedi, kind of.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So their history? Like those coins, they go back a thousand years At least. Yeah, if not older, but at least a thousand years. So it's again. The curiosity is there, but they need to. I don't know. I'm just, I'm just not going to be pleased if they tie it into another Palpatine crap. It's like why can't they just do something on its own?

Speaker 1:

I think it's going to depend on how long that planet's been hidden. Did it disappear during the empire or before?

Speaker 2:

Before.

Speaker 1:

The scroll, the scroll that Kim broke out, kim right, was written on paper which they don't use anymore and haven't used in.

Speaker 2:

That's what I'm saying. They've been hidden for over a thousand years.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so it should in theory have nothing to do with Palpatine.

Speaker 2:

So the point is, he might not even know about it, but if he found out and then directed them to work on his cloning project or whatever, or ships they could have built, the ships from Mexico.

Speaker 1:

Like, how did all those ships show up? One of the articles, videos, whatever I was watching, was saying that their thought was that the planet was created by the original Republic or High Republic before and then when the Jedi Sith War happened, like the OG Jedi Sith War, they destroyed all eight other planets but kept that one alive, and that so it's been a millennia right it's been around for no idea. They didn't have an. They didn't know why that one was left alone where the other eight.

Speaker 2:

That was a theory, but without a why to go with that theory.

Speaker 1:

But again, we're only three episodes in.

Speaker 2:

Who came up with? This theory People that have a lot more time on their hands than we do, so I know not to watch their podcast for dumb shit like that.

Speaker 1:

We have this theory but, we're not going to watch this. Yeah, watch this podcast for dumb shit.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, we got that covered. Man, that's our corner, they're in your lane. Here's man, that's our corner, they in your lane. Here's this theory that we have, but we're not going to tell you. We don't know why we have this theory.

Speaker 1:

We just do. It's like oh my god, okay, great. Well, I think they were putting that together because of the coins and that type of thing, like that was what they're. They were saying that because I think didn't kim say during the episode that the other eight planets were destroyed, like the scroll that she had had nine planets on it and she said eight of them were destroyed.

Speaker 2:

I'm more curious how they destroyed the planet back then yeah, sith power that's the one they got. When they said that, I was like how in the hell did they destroy planets back then without I'm sure they had whatever way. Maybe there was a celestial buried inside the planet and they?

Speaker 1:

They didn't mention it at all.

Speaker 2:

Yeah for three years. Yeah, why not?

Speaker 1:

I can see that, and there you go. Now we have Patton Oswalt's Parks and Rec speech put together Emerging Star Wars and Marvel.

Speaker 2:

So here we are halfway through the halfway through the season on tuesday, so we'll see what happens. Yeah, I have a meeting that night, so I'll watch it late, and but, again, I'm curious enough and I'll continue to watch it twice. I'll continue to probably shit on it the first time I watch it and enjoy it the second time I watch it. I'm hoping, though, that that changes, and then, as it progresses, it'll be like hell. That was a good episode. I'm just waiting for that moment. That's all, and again, it's. It doesn't have the same feel of acolyte, so acolyte.

Speaker 3:

I was hoping that would happen together.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, whether you like the topic, the story or not, it's more cohesive than acolyte felt this is more like mandalorian, where each episode feels like an episode, but still tied to the whole, which the other star Wars shows that really didn't do that, or or whatever. But I'm, I'm again. I'm curious. I did not get to the point I thought it was. I was going to get to the point where it's like, okay, this is bad enough, that I will, I will binge it when it's all done. I'm not at that point. I don't think I will get to that point.

Speaker 1:

So I can enjoy it. Can I just ask you about it?

Speaker 2:

Probably. Or y'all would be like, okay, let's talk about Skeleton Crew. I'm like all right, y'all, I'm going to play Xbox real quick. Yep, have fun.

Speaker 1:

Text me when you're done so. I can remember Like one day I'll watch it tonight because I'm busy doing something. And then I look at my phone two hours later and it's like 100 plus notifications and I'm like what I'm not fucking reading all of these, I'm sorry, like motherfuckers it wasn't even all about skeleton crew, right, I know that's the shitty part is like I'm like. Well, now I gotta go through all these to figure out what I might have.

Speaker 2:

I might actually have an interest in responding to you would have had to have pooped eventually. Just read them all then Unless you're a fast pooper, you would have got it all covered in that one sit-down session.

Speaker 1:

I'm a variable. My governor sometimes is fast and then other times is slow. Exactly.

Speaker 2:

Lucky for y'all, I'm really fast. I get in, get out.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Just like at Disney, get in, get out. Missed the whole trip to the Lego store.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you did so. I guess that's a good transition point Lego to the pin store across from there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I made it over there. That's where you guys were. When I came out, I made it to the pin store.

Speaker 1:

You know what we missed, though? They have a new Marvel store down there. We didn't even check it out, dude, they got the.

Speaker 2:

Roosevelt store too, Yep.

Speaker 1:

So is Roosevelt's down there. Yeah, we didn't do any of that. Well, some of us had to get on the road.

Speaker 2:

Well, no, some of us didn't want to pay $10 for parking. Yep, because our three hours was coming up with what it was. Yep, because if it wasn't for that, we would have hit those places. Yep well, it's like when I'm gonna drop six hundred dollars in a life saver. I ain't paying ten dollars for parking no, that was me at.

Speaker 1:

Uh, I went shopping yesterday and I was gonna get money out so I could break some money for drinks at the party last night, right? So I'm like, yeah, shit, give me 60 bucks. I feel like that'll be a 75 cent charge for a cash back of the grocery. I'm like'm like, nope, fuck you no.

Speaker 2:

Wait, they charge that now at the grocery.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it said 75 cent.

Speaker 3:

I'm like nope Well that's Vegas, though Every ATM costs money in Vegas.

Speaker 1:

It wasn't even an ATM. It was a grocery store. Technically it's an ATM. Right, you're getting cash. I'm saying just from Shit, I'll go to my actual bank. I would drive the two miles to my bank before I pay you $75. What grocery store is doing this? It was Smith's right here by the house at Sky Canyon, crazy Right. It'd be one thing if you were just getting cash out right Like you were like okay.

Speaker 2:

I just spent $100. Then you treat it like a proper ATM. Yeah, I get that.

Speaker 1:

But I bought some peanut butter, whiskey, eggnog. I got some peanut butter whiskey, eggnog.

Speaker 3:

I got some other food.

Speaker 1:

I was already spending like $100 in groceries. Hang on, I need to go to the store and buy booze so I can get cash back for all the booze I'm going to be drinking the following night, so I can sip some of it. Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 2:

But that's what I heard.

Speaker 1:

Well, luckily the wife has gone to a bingo with some friends and she won, so she came home with that fat stack of ones that I showed you guys.

Speaker 2:

That explains that All right. I was like little darling, just hire and wrap it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no shit. Little darling's amateur night Jack was like. I'll give it a spin.

Speaker 2:

I mean, you saw the sign. It said hire and opposition.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, all of them, even the dudes, yep somebody's got a dj. Yeah, cover the door dude, I read an article, uh, when I was pooping earlier, uh, that there was a dj at one of the strip clubs here that one of the dancers like straight shivved him.

Speaker 1:

He's in the hospital and shit like he was like he was doing his work and he goes. I have no idea. Like she seemed super cool, like we always got along, I always played her music and I guess she like just came up behind him and was like, and then like turned around and walked out the building and he's like, ow, like, and he was on the ground. He was like, oh my god, like in the hospital now he survived, but like he was like I had no idea. But then, like they were interviewing the other girls and they were like oh yeah, she's that bitch crying, she's she's cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Like yeah, but that's crazy. Like yeah, it's not you know what. It's not safe to be a dj at a strip club anymore. Where are we gone as a country, right, you know?

Speaker 2:

my first. My first thought was me, because I'm more of a criminal mind is that somebody he got beef with hired her to go take care of that. That would have been my guy. I would have been like, alright, he's got some issues with somebody. She came in, she works there. It's like, hey, I need you to do this.

Speaker 1:

Here's what I'm going to pay you to do. She still had to be a little cray to actually do it, though I mean not really if the price is or b or yeah, I mean or be under some sort of like. You know, it's not something where I'm, it's like I'm gonna give you 100 bucks like there's. I think there's gotta be.

Speaker 2:

There's a again. There could be some behind the scenes stuff that we don't know about. There could be some drug stick going on we don't know about. That's hot. That could be some high dollar shit. Because I'll tell you right, somebody walks up to me and says, look yo, I got 10 million, I got 100 million. Obviously there's a number. There is a number for almost everything. I won't say everything. There's a number for almost everything that people will do it for that dollar amount, whether it be criminal activity or just gross, nasty shit. We all saw we, our generation. We grew up with that stupid ass tv show where people are eating fucking bugs and what the hell wasn't.

Speaker 1:

Who the hell host fear factory, fear factor that show we're the, we're the, yeah, we're the, yeah, we're the reason that joe rogan exists.

Speaker 2:

You're welcome, america yep, but I mean I like I ain't doing that. It's like for 10 grand. Alright, give me them bugs, you know what I mean. So again, the dollar figure has got to be worth it, but no doubt, hey, I need to go in and stab this person right here.

Speaker 1:

All you got to do is smoke some crack for 10 million dollars. Lou Fine Sold Right. You got to do is smoke some crack for $10 million. Lou Fine Done.

Speaker 2:

Sold Right, you got to commit a crime. Okay, which countries? And extradition, and all that, let's get to the level of crime. Yep. How much do I need to be set up in what country? How far am I dollar go in that country?

Speaker 1:

But we don't have a conversation.

Speaker 2:

What's the conversion rate right now? Right?

Speaker 1:

$44,000 to $291,000. Don't go to.

Speaker 2:

McDonald's afterwards Lou no man. What kind of dumb shit is that man? Are you crazy? You want that McRib that?

Speaker 1:

badly Snitches. That's why you DoorDash, so you have the obfuscation right.

Speaker 2:

It's layers there's somebody making somebody else not related, delivering the food like oh yeah, you got to be able to figure out again when it's so warm it is good, though, minus the pickle man I can't do the pickles on.

Speaker 3:

Really I want them.

Speaker 2:

I want them extra onion slivers, but you can keep that pickle.

Speaker 1:

One time when I came back, it was a couple of years ago I was ordering it and I guess I fucked something up. I open it and it's just the McRib patty. I'm like where's the fucking meat?

Speaker 2:

Oh, you got that protein you got that protein, but it was just the meat. God, I forgot. We're out of lettuce. I guess we'll just put it in. So I went back and looked at my order. I'm like no bread, what? Who ordered this? Did you get somebody else's order? What?

Speaker 1:

the hell. This is not the same Jack that ordered this meal.

Speaker 2:

I would be mad man. You know what they're about to get another $6.99 off of me.

Speaker 1:

For real, though. What did I say that indicated that I didn't need bread? I was trying to help you out there, bro.

Speaker 2:

I saw your diabetic patch. We're trying to keep your carbs.

Speaker 1:

You look like the last thing that you need is more carbs.

Speaker 2:

Dude, that was so funny. I think it was the last time they brought the McRib. I don't know if it was last year or the year before, but the last time they did it and I saw that price tag, I was like whatever happened to the $5 meal for the McRib and buy an extra McRib for a dollar? It was six plus tax to get two McRibs, fries and a drink. I'm just like man.

Speaker 3:

I don't know if I can.

Speaker 2:

Man, for real, they need to treat that shit like drugs. Man, you got to give it to me at a cheap Price McDonald's. I can come back for more.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no Cheap for the first week. So for the first week, but then every week afterwards it goes up like 50 cents.

Speaker 2:

Man, they get my money. I ain't going to lie, that shit would work. Oh my God, man, we haven't even talked about Segway and fucking Legos. We didn't even talk about Disney yet.

Speaker 1:

Nope, segway way off track. We went way off to the side on that one. Jackson, I have a tough time editing this so we actually get the Segway to go. Nope, like puts this.

Speaker 2:

Even Duke's speaking, it's like, yeah, it's a good segue. Speaking of which, she's talking about the Lego store, and then we just did not talk about, and then we did not talk about, disneyland.

Speaker 1:

You know what it's the poop? It's the poop, talk Poop talk just completely derails it. Poop will do that. Poop will derail you whatever you're doing. Actually you should listen to those podcasts while you poop, especially when it's not expected. It's a good pooping podcast, it is.

Speaker 2:

It is. Sit there, put the podcast on while you're playing your phone game.

Speaker 1:

Take a look at the toilet paper roll. If it's not over the top, then you got to switch it. Yeah, that's right For those of you doing that right now. Flip that shit around. Number one if it's an under and it's not at your house, rotate that shit around and then unfriend that person.

Speaker 2:

You don't need that negativity in your life?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:

I wish I could my parents do that, and every time I visit I flip that shit over to them.

Speaker 1:

You go from wow to mom. He just sneaks into his parents' bathroom in the master bedroom and flips it over. He waits it up.

Speaker 2:

I barge right in. I know y'all shit's fucked up. Come here and do this real quick. I go there. All three bathrooms have the toilet rolls fixed and their pantries organized. That's what happens when I visit.

Speaker 1:

Lou's. Like I'm here one night, I get away with two hours of sleep. I gotta redo that pantry right now.

Speaker 2:

Man, the can labels are all just different directions. It's just terrible Shit everywhere. At least the soda's all together in one spot. You've got to organize them by how much soda's left in each one. It's like no, you've got to balance everything out. Straight shit out Every time, Every time.

Speaker 3:

Last weekend we all got together.

Speaker 1:

The reason we didn't have a podcast last week is because none of us were home Sunday night.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, hey, Duke. Why weren't we home Sunday night?

Speaker 1:

Flying Driving.

Speaker 2:

All of the above right, yeah. Facts.

Speaker 1:

We spent last Saturday. It's Friday.

Speaker 2:

Start with Friday.

Speaker 1:

I mean Friday.

Speaker 2:

Friday, y'all drove down that's true.

Speaker 1:

Duke flew into vegas on thursday night, got lost. It's because I live in the middle of nowhere did you really? I didn't hear this well yeah, well, so like I went, so none, so none of the roads out there are like google mapped, yet they are not so like. It's like make it right here and make it right here, hop over these two fences and that's Jack's house, and I'm like.

Speaker 2:

Are you sure? Because I put the address in and it was fine.

Speaker 1:

No, mine was like. Mine had a dash line where it's like the house is here, but you're over here.

Speaker 2:

No, mine gave me all the streets of Monterey or whatever.

Speaker 1:

Moccasin.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, whatever that is, it gave me all that. I was fine online.

Speaker 1:

It gave me the address but it wasn't. For some reason the Android Auto didn't see Moccasin as a road. The only reason I knew it was Jack's because I pulled up and I saw the license plates and I was like so that wasn't.

Speaker 2:

That's not. Android doesn't have Google Maps.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But doesn't have google maps. Yeah, but it was, it wouldn't. It didn't have moccasin on the. That is so weird, because it was three days later and I had to use the same thing, got the address, I put it in my maps and it came up just fine. That's, that's wild.

Speaker 1:

That's wild so I turned around once in the cul-de-sac just to make sure, and then I pulled up and then jack's house dark as fuck, his new house, dark as fuck. I'm like pull up and I'm like I'm about to get fucking murdered Because there's no streetlights, there's nothing. There was like four cars just parked on the side of the road, people either getting handies, blowjobs.

Speaker 2:

I was about to ask you were those fuckers outside the gate?

Speaker 1:

I should have just pulled up.

Speaker 2:

Well, the gate was open, so it where those people in front of you no they were on that back the back road between jack's house and the fossil beds.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I almost felt like pulling up behind them and just shining my lights from the brights, just being like we did that. One time tangent I was when pokemon go was a thing. I was out with a couple of my friends here. We were driving around and there's a park nearby and we're like, oh well, let's go there because there's like two stops. And so we pull up and it's you know, nine o'clock at night, 930 at night. We pull up behind this pickup truck, we have our lights on and we're all fucking just Pokemon going and all of a sudden we see two heads pop up in the bed of the truck. We're like shit, we just mom and dad, them having sex. Sorry kids, they're looking for them biglets.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, then I got the tour, I got the nickel tour of the house and then, yeah, stayed the night in the casita, which was nice thank you again, jack, for letting me crash there and then we left Friday morning Like 10ish, got on the road. It had been a while since Jack and I had done a really long road trip Together just the two of us. So that was a nice change. And then we did.

Speaker 2:

We did del taco marcio shout out marcio del taco if y'all on the original original del exactly vegas to la drive. Hit, hit, wait. Which one did y'all hit?

Speaker 1:

the one we got to in lynwood that ain't there. That ain't the real one it's one of them.

Speaker 2:

No, it ain't it is no that ain't the real one, it's one of them. No, it ain't it is. No, it ain't that. Shit came out so there were Del Tacos everywhere else, remember, because Linwood didn't get built until later, that whole Linwood Mall and shit that didn't get built until later, all right Way later, yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's not what the Del Taco history says.

Speaker 2:

Del Taco history in Barstow. The original was off First Street and that one, I think, still closed. I think that one closed and then they got Mountain View and all that, but I think the First Street one because my parents used to go to that one, but it's labeled as the original Del Taco and not just Del Taco. It's one of them. Yes, yeah, it's one of the first couple, and so the menu is a little bit different. Hell yeah, taco salads, proper taco salad not that big bullshit.

Speaker 1:

Well, so duke got chicken tacos right. He's like why can't I finish all of these? I'm like because they make them bigger here, that's right. I'm like, dude, we used to both drew del taco and get like a 20 pack of chicken tacos on two for two, for four dollar chicken taco night. And now it's like no, I'm eating two of them and I'm like bar still fills you up.

Speaker 2:

You get two regular tacos and it's like, damn, I'm good. Now we overdo it because we don't see it that often.

Speaker 1:

So we get taco bun, taco, taco salad, we're all about but uh, we, I mean we picked a perfect time to stop because we walked right up to the cashier, put our order in. By the time our food shows up, there was a line going all the way out the door. We were like all right, we picked a good time to show up.

Speaker 2:

That's because y'all left so late. We got there at lunchtime.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we weren't in a rush. Some of us still had to do our daddy duties in the morning. Daddy duties are done at 8.30, son, y'all had to figure out where I was going to leave my hamburger Lou.

Speaker 2:

That is okay, that's a good point. That's a good point.

Speaker 1:

And then we got to LA around 2.30. Met up with Lou and his girl in Hollywood. Hollywood Up off the side of the street. Yeah, picked them up.

Speaker 2:

Straight up, too Literally, with luggage and shit on the side of the street that pulled over while there was a stop and a red light. Get in get in, get in, go, go. Loaded it all up and got in the car. It's not even a joke that happened.

Speaker 1:

And then, once we picked everyone up, we drove around a bit to try to find parking or figure out what exactly we were going to do. We ended up going to the Funco store and that place. I think I had never been there before Jack's first time. Yeah, it was the first time I'd been there.

Speaker 2:

Lou, you had been there before right, yeah, this was my second time.

Speaker 1:

So the three of us got the three who hadn't gotten Funco before Funco'd ourselves.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we were there like an hour and a half two hours. We were there like an hour and a half two hours later. We were there a while.

Speaker 1:

Well, we had to kill time before the cantina opened?

Speaker 2:

Don't ask the thing, though, we had to kill time, but we still would have spent that much time anyway. We weren't even trying to kill time at that point.

Speaker 1:

We just did because there was so much to see. Yeah, like I said, my sales marketing person, part of my brain was tripping out because I was like so much wasted sales space, because the uh hollywood boulevard did you know what?

Speaker 1:

ain't cheap yeah, so hollywood foot oof the hollywood funko store has these giant dioramas for lack of a better term with the funko characters in them, and the funko characters are anywhere you know six to seven feet tall, where normally the funko's are, that's four inches four inches. So yeah, but they have some there, you go say bine warren, warren, warren. But yeah, so these were, I don't know, I guess, life size, what would you call them?

Speaker 2:

they were, yeah, guess that's probably a good way to describe it. If you as a person, you're a six-foot-tall person and you were a Funko Pop, that's basically what it would be.

Speaker 1:

I mean they had a Harry Potter Star.

Speaker 2:

Wars. That's your base scale, though, because the Hagrid one was way big yeah he was probably the scale of if he was real, if we were funko's, that that thing would shine yeah.

Speaker 1:

But again, going back to our conversation earlier about skellinger, right, like you're there and it makes you feel like a kid because all of the funko's are all big and like you know it, they do they did do a really good job of laying out that story. I feel like, with the dioramas and stuff like that, a ton of photo opportunities and that type of thing, like definitely definitely doing a fun, a ton of fun. Wow, a ton of fan outreach type stuff. You know, except for the sports section. Sports section was a little lacking.

Speaker 1:

It was late, it was pretty weak, it was out of all the different areas, I feel like that one is the one that I don't think they had any hockey.

Speaker 2:

That one is the one that I don't think they had any hockey.

Speaker 1:

This is like a huge football yeah, a few football and baseball basketball yeah yeah, I think that the biggest one was actually the wrestling area, the wrestling wall seems bigger than most of the seem bigger than any of the other walls for sure there was an exclusive danny trejo that I guess we missed by like a week yeah, we miss he danny.

Speaker 2:

Danny was in the studio in the building rather signing and they didn't do extras, or they did extras and they sold out, or whatever, or you had to be there. Whatever the case being, they had the pop, just not on it. You can buy it on DannyTreyHillcom for $180.

Speaker 1:

If you love machete that much, yeah. What we should have done is just bought it and then went to Danny Trejo's taco place and then had him sign it there. If he was there, yeah, like he's doing anything else right now.

Speaker 2:

There could be some B-ass movie that he's filming right now.

Speaker 1:

Machete in Space. Machete in Space, that's true. There you go yeah, and then we meandered past. It was really hard to keep Lou from going into Deja. Vu where they had 100 cute girls and 3 ugly ones, wasn't?

Speaker 2:

that wasn't that what the logo was. It is, but look, if they advertise 100 girls and 3 midgets, then damn.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we would have spent our time there.

Speaker 2:

That might have been a different Friday night. I'm just saying.

Speaker 1:

Next time.

Speaker 2:

My Disney bucks would have all been spent. Sorry, lightsaber, I saw midgets.

Speaker 1:

I got a midget lap dance.

Speaker 2:

Man, that sounds so good.

Speaker 1:

You just have one on each leg.

Speaker 2:

For us. Fine, let me back up. I'll back up 20 years where you, at debbie carrington, my little ewok midget lou's like I'm gonna do a mail-in for luke skywalker in celebration.

Speaker 1:

Oh no, I'm waiting in line for debbie carrington did too.

Speaker 2:

I had them. That's probably of celebration. That's probably my cheesiest grin was that photo with Debbie Kerr. It's not even going to lie. That is probably my biggest smile of all the photos I took. It's like, hey, James Earl Jones, Cool Debbie, I catch up with you how you doing guys, it's Billy Dee Williams. And there he goes. Yep, you're right. How tall is see in?

Speaker 1:

real life. Oh, he's like 511. So then we meandered on down to the cantina the scum and villainy cantina, which is in hollywood.

Speaker 1:

It's a sci-fi theme bar for those that don't know. So you walk in and there's panels like the led panels from star wars, also a bunch of panels from Star Trek. It is themed very much like the cantina from Star Wars, with the booth cutouts and the tables in the middle and that type of thing. It's the second time that we've been there and both times I think we've had a great. It's been one of the highlights of the trip both times, right For sure.

Speaker 2:

We were there. It was still good.

Speaker 1:

Our bartender was cool. Both bartenders were super cool. Everybody dresses up there that works there. We saw like probably three waves of people come and go, so kind of in some regards it felt like some. In some regards it kind of felt like Olga's, where they hadn't kicked you, where they just forgot to kick you out Right Cause, like people would come in and have a couple drinks and then they would leave and the next wave would come in. We're just sitting there hammering the drink menu and the food menu and then telling very inappropriate jokes.

Speaker 2:

Inappropriate is really perspective.

Speaker 1:

No, not in this case.

Speaker 2:

I tried to sell that y'all. No, they were in a problem.

Speaker 1:

It was the anti-skeleton crew. Really, as far as that goes, that was aimed directly at us, by us. For us, it's a really cool place. If you are bored and end up in Hollywood in the evenings, definitely check it out. It opened at 5,.

Speaker 2:

I think, yeah, it was 5. It was 5, right. And we were there until God 8 or 9.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we were there for a minute. We were there for a minute, and then Lou and I walked out of there drunk. Well, you did, I wasn't drunk.

Speaker 2:

Jack was drunk. Jack was drunk. Jack was absolutely drunk. Jack was drunk. Oh, we were Absolutely drunk. We were there until 9. Longer than 9, because we left. I'm looking at the receipt right now. I have a bunch of receipts so I can scan them to my app. 847 is when we got the damn bill.

Speaker 1:

The only reason we left is because you guys wanted to go to Ghirardelli's, or Jack wanted to go to Ghirardelli's.

Speaker 2:

They had some exclusive pins.

Speaker 1:

So then Lou's girl and I went back in the bar and had another drink while they walked down to the half mile or whatever, to Ghirardelli's. And then Jack almost got in a fistfight with a guy in the bathroom in Ghirardelli's. He touched him. Look, he bumped into me so I might have grabbed him by the waist or something, just so that we didn't fall. You showed us. You touched his lower belly, maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I was drunk, it was lower back. You said lower back.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I thought it was front when he was telling the story. He was like and I'm like, my liver, my liver.

Speaker 2:

When it first happened, and I was there waiting for him to come out of the bathroom, he told me lower back.

Speaker 1:

Okay, then maybe it was lower back. He was drunk, he was drunk.

Speaker 2:

He was drunk, we don't know. It could have been front.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, maybe I grabbed his balls. Who the?

Speaker 2:

fuck knows Right, he's trying to help this guy. Pee Jack's trying to make sure piss don't end up on the floor. So he's like look, dude, you're fucking this up. Let me give you a hand. Let me not, because had it been, inappropriate.

Speaker 1:

Lou was like five feet behind me. That is true, and if there's anybody, that's going to start a fight. I think we've learned. Look, we already had our pins paid for, Right we?

Speaker 2:

were good. They want to throw us out.

Speaker 1:

We already had our shit, so it was fine, and then we hopped on the road and did the hour and a half drive to drive to Anaheim.

Speaker 2:

Was it that long I?

Speaker 1:

think it was 45 minutes.

Speaker 3:

We didn't have traffic for once it was late enough.

Speaker 1:

we were able to get out of there pretty quick, so we went to bed about midnight-ish to get up at 6-ish. Well, actually, don't forget to tell the part about how half of the people thought that both rooms were two-bedroom timeshares.

Speaker 2:

Everybody, except for one person, thought it was.

Speaker 1:

And that's the one person who made the reservation. So we were like, hey, where's the second bedroom? I was like this ain't right. I think Lou and I had a conversation of maybe they put us in the wrong room.

Speaker 2:

I did. I was like that's. I was like, hey, jack, is this? He's like no, let me double check. He's like no, this is right. I'm like all right.

Speaker 1:

That being said, the All that matters in the end Points that I use later in the weekend.

Speaker 2:

That is true. That is true Points you did lose later in the weekend. All right, we'll go Ask.

Speaker 1:

Crack of Dawn to Rope Drop at Disneyland Six. Yeah, my alarm was set at 630. So we're like hells. Yes, let's go. Got to get on.

Speaker 2:

Rise of the Resistance Run all the way down there and Distance Run all the way down there and close. It was broken as soon as it opened. It was like okay or it never opened.

Speaker 1:

Breakfast Ronto wraps Always the best way to wake up at Disneyland.

Speaker 2:

Wait, we didn't do the Falcon first, did we? We went straight to Ronto wraps. I think we ate first.

Speaker 1:

We were doing the Ronto wraps when the ride opened, because Jack checked the map, yeah, so it was only close to like half an hour 45 minutes. So we ate and we're like, well, it's still not open, let's go play the Falcon. And then we had a dad and his daughter came on with us and she was like I don't know what to do, I don't know if I like this, and she got off.

Speaker 3:

She's like let's go again.

Speaker 1:

I want, I want these guys to go with us yeah, she's like can you guys go with us?

Speaker 2:

again yep dad's like whoa, sorry, sorry mom, sorry mom. She's like no, the daughter was like no, forget mom I'm that bitch. I want to ride the falcon, I'm ready I'm ready to fly. Exactly, she was ready to fly that. Uh duke, duke and jack flew Me and old girl. We were engineers and the dad and daughter were gunners.

Speaker 1:

I tell you what though.

Speaker 2:

Being a gunner or being an engineer. I barely got to see the ride. I was too busy looking at the buttons.

Speaker 1:

It'd be nice if they gave you a little screen. That'd be cool.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that'd be better. I was like I forgot that we're on this ride. I'm just looking for which button. I'm like right and dude, I didn't even get. Uh, I got 93, my engineer partner got 100. It's like what the fuck?

Speaker 1:

somebody's on the spectrum for sure but dude, I can't.

Speaker 2:

I can't do engineer again, because every time something lit up I wanted to push it. You know, it was like all the detail lights I was pushing all those. It was like, oh, you're supposed to push these ones that are flashing? No, I'm pushing them up. It was lit up, I'm pushing it.

Speaker 1:

It was like unbuckling the belt and reaching up top.

Speaker 2:

Dude. I almost did Dude. I was just like I can't reach that. There's one back here in the cubby hole. I was like no, I touched these ones. So how am I supposed to have balance? We don't touch these other. When I did the gunner earlier this year, I tried it on either just auto and, I guess, manual or whatever. I did my side on manual. That is not easy. It's not super difficult, but it's not easy. So next time I'm definitely doing auto on the damn gunning next time.

Speaker 1:

That was crazy. Well, and the pilots for those that have never been on it, there's one that's left and right and one that's up and down. That's how they do. The two pilots, and that shit is sensitive. Yeah, it is. You're doing this and you do this, and the ship's like and you're like, wait, no, no, no, that was my problem.

Speaker 3:

Too far, too far.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you end up just spending the entire time overcompensating because you're like, or up and down, same thing. You know, oh for sure, two years ago, when the three of us went, I piloted then and it was like, oh my god, this is sensitive as, yeah, I just couldn't do it. It doesn't matter, I was, it doesn't matter because you pull the hyperspace levers.

Speaker 1:

That is true. It doesn't matter. The rest of the ride doesn't matter.

Speaker 2:

That was so funny because I heard you talk about. No, it's on my side.

Speaker 1:

He kept reaching over.

Speaker 2:

You had a choice. I was like he's trying to push his damn buttons over there, Uh-uh.

Speaker 1:

Trying to yank my lever. Yep, I was like remind you of Ghirardelli. What's happening right now?

Speaker 2:

For real. Jack had flashbacks.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's why he got so mad. He was like, oh, we got a fight up in here. Yeah, then after that we Rise was open.

Speaker 2:

See, I thought Rise was first and then Millennium, I thought we left Oga's. I thought Not Oga's. I thought we left the Ronto.

Speaker 1:

Wraps to go to Rise.

Speaker 2:

And then we hit the Falcon the way back.

Speaker 1:

That was a whole week ago Jack was still drunk, by the way. No, that came up later when we went home.

Speaker 2:

When the other folks that were there when you watch this podcast, drop a comment and tell us what order that was, Because we don't know, and then we had gone into Doc Gondor's and Lou. I was late, no.

Speaker 1:

Well, no, because you guys walked to the car. The two of you left to go to the car.

Speaker 2:

Before that, though, was that just for the popcorn buckets.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we went to go get the popcorn buckets. I thought you had bought the lightsabers Before. Yeah, we did.

Speaker 2:

But you two went to go look At the saber case I thought you had bought the lightsabers before yeah, we did, yeah, we did, yeah, we totally did. But you two went to go look at the saber case. Yes, and I was overlooking the holocrons Looking at the holocrons and the other stuff on the complete opposite side. And then Jack walks up to me.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm. And he says Little devil horns. I sat on his shoulder.

Speaker 2:

I know you weren't planning to do the lightsaber build this trip, however or if you were, no, I know it was. If you were, if you were planning on doing the lightsaber build, I will forgive you because they have the Anakin. What do they call it? Anakin Saga?

Speaker 1:

Evolution.

Speaker 2:

Evolution or whatever it is Something like that yeah. They had the Anakin lightsaber set for $5.50. That was retail cost. They're $5.50 here and I was like mother F I kind of already had a plan for the lightsaber thing because it was going to be a birthday present and it was like, but it's Vader slash Anakin and they have it right here.

Speaker 1:

And then she brought it out from behind. And then she pulled it out from the display, and then she's like by the way it plays music, and she opened it and it played like Anakin's music going into the Imperial March. Once the Vader breathing in the Imperial March is, it's like, where do I pay it? I'm just really glad they have it.

Speaker 2:

I pulled out my credit card and said wrap it up.

Speaker 1:

I'm glad all of the lightsabers win that reinforced glass, because if not Lou would have punched a hole through the front of it. What?

Speaker 2:

are you?

Speaker 1:

standing in front of that.

Speaker 2:

Man, I would have just get a nice little smooth hole in front of it and something else would have happened?

Speaker 1:

Lou's glory hole at Doc Ondar's.

Speaker 2:

Man ain front of it and something else would have happened lose glory hole at doc on darts. Man ain't nothing friction can't fix. So yeah, ended up getting it. It was just like soon. As soon as it was finished with the thing, I literally said wrap it up, pulled up my credit card, said where do I go? And the lady pointed me in the right direction. Literally it was to my rights and I got that damn saber.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that happened, ain't nobody mad about it though.

Speaker 2:

You know, right though it was like, alright, this happened, I'm good, I had no intention of buying it, but it was within my budget. So I was like, what the hell? We're not going over to DCA to get alcohol, so I'll spend less, so we're good. And then Then we went and got the popcorn buckets. I think yeah, and then Chewbacca head, popcorn buckets and they had gingerbread ones. But we couldn't find the gingerbread ones all night.

Speaker 1:

And then you guys Went out to the car.

Speaker 2:

Well, we tried to get a locker After the locker failed Because the lightsaber box was too big To fit in the large lockers.

Speaker 1:

It took two locker visits.

Speaker 3:

Well, yeah, that was an hour Dude that was so crazy.

Speaker 2:

We walked in, got through. As soon as we realized there was no space, we turned around. The line had doubled in length.

Speaker 3:

Yep.

Speaker 2:

In the 15 minutes, 10 minutes we were there. It was wild. And then that's when Jack's like, hey, there's another set of lockers outside the gates. So we went and checked that out and that's when you found out that we got the large, the large one, but it was like the, it was like an inch. It was probably an inch too long, half it was barely it fricking barely missed it.

Speaker 2:

So at that point we're like we're not going to walk around with this thing all day, and and I wasn't thinking about it, cause I should have been like, hey, can you put this on hold, or buy it and hold it, or whatever- or taking it to the trade Depot.

Speaker 2:

Well, I think I don't know if that was an option. So that's what I'm saying. I should have asked to see if all of Whatever. Well, to be fair, we thought the lockers would fit it Also, true. You know what, though, I didn't want to walk all the way back there to see if they would hold it after the fact either.

Speaker 3:

We had already got to the end gate.

Speaker 2:

That's when we did. After that it was like, okay, let's just take the shuttle back and drop it off of the car we parked at one of disney's lot, so like we'll just take the shuttle and then and that's what my girl showed up. A matter of fact, it was perfect timing, as we were on our way back from the shuttle. They were parking, uh, their car. Oh the uh. Five of us came back together at that point. It wasn't bad.

Speaker 2:

What an hour round trip, yeah it's that yeah, I was gonna say, I think I timed. It was like 55 minutes, I think, I told you, I was like hey, for future use and that was 55 minutes with a delay of security because we had to come back inside. Yeah, with the lightsaber, because we went out the wrong side exit, went out the left to the right, blah, blah, blah. So we killed. I said so the whole thing round trip would have been 45 minutes. Uh, wasn't bad. We got to drop off some stuff that we like the, the chewbacca yeah, popcorn buckets, the lightsaber case, um, and we still got to keep the the locker.

Speaker 2:

So when the girls did show up we all got back. We could throw some jackets or stuff you didn't need until the nighttime in the locker. So it still had its.

Speaker 1:

That worked out, yeah and uh, lou's girl and I rode the the. She'd never done the railroad before we made it. He's a little jelly now.

Speaker 2:

I was like man, I ain't done that.

Speaker 1:

What'd you get to see?

Speaker 3:

I got to see Duke unzipped.

Speaker 2:

I got to see everything. It was a great train ride, she said.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I showed her the prehistoric world, even though lou's older than I am that's universal, man get it right wrong theme park and then, after we group back up, we uh your girl yeah, uh, my friend that I met at my friend's wedding a couple months ago lives in southern california.

Speaker 1:

When we were at the, I mentioned to her that we had already made this trip to go to California and do Disneyland, so she was all excited. She has an annual pass, so she joined us as well and it was fine because Jack's littlest and her basically are like their vibe was the same, which is chaos and madness. I'm just saying there was a point. I had another one of her pills. I was going to slip it to her to even it out for all of us.

Speaker 1:

This is for you and this is for her here both of you take a drink and sip out of this a specific water bottle, right, and nobody else touch it. Nobody else touch a bottle, nobody else, just these two. But yeah, so that was a good time.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, she was the local.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and also, like I said, it was nice to have somebody that we could be like okay, just walk with her.

Speaker 2:

Overall, though, she was pretty cool.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think I still have PTSD from Comic-Con, so it was nice to not.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's true, love your kids, Jack, but Did she want to, the little one, ride with you on anything?

Speaker 1:

No, the one ride she wanted to ride with me on was Haunted Mansion, and she fucking ditched me right before we got to the park.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I tried. She wanted to ride by herself.

Speaker 1:

No, it was, no, it was.

Speaker 2:

At least she wanted to ride by herself. Which one?

Speaker 1:

It wasn't Haunted Mansion, because Jack was like I'm going to ride with you on Haunted Mansion, we ride on Haunted Mansion together. It's our thing.

Speaker 2:

It was that one then, because you were supposed to.

Speaker 1:

Because I thought you were going to wanted to ride it by themselves, because I remember both of them got onto their own car and then, uh, you and I got on, so that's the second time I've been to to disneyland with your family and your little has ditched me at the last second.

Speaker 1:

So she has 88. It's literally a medical issue. She forgets what happened 10 seconds ago. So it's try not to take a personal. It's not personal. If we medicated her it would be fine, she would remember and she would follow through, but she'd also be like yeah, Barely alive, less fun. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

That zombie conversation we had earlier.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and then what did we do after everybody got together? We just had all the rides, dude. We were just kind of the rides dude.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we were trying to organize the times for the rides with your guys' DAS pass versus our.

Speaker 3:

Lightning Pass.

Speaker 2:

We were just trying to organize that. We got it set up and then you're right.

Speaker 3:

It was just ride after, ride after ride.

Speaker 2:

We just timed it where we tried to do some rides. The rest of the way.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the only ride we didn't do was Indiana Jones.

Speaker 3:

If it was short, we got in it. I was okay with that.

Speaker 2:

That was a bumpy ass ride man. Last time we did it.

Speaker 1:

No, we did. I think we jumped right into. It's a Small World, right. We did Jungle Cruise.

Speaker 2:

No, I don't think Small World we killed time after something. I thought we did something and then we did Small World to kill time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think Jungle Cruise is the first one we did.

Speaker 2:

Right, that makes sense, because we were going to do Pirates, but timing got messed up, so then we went to kill time and then Small World and Runaway Rail, a couple of people linked their accounts together and left two other people out of it and forgot to put them in. So then, after that got resolved, then we all got put on the same.

Speaker 1:

What do you mean by you people Lou?

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I ain't going to call Dave, I ain't going to call nobody out who did that. That's just that'd be messed up, so I'm not going to call anybody out, but that happened. But then we got it fixed. Happens every day.

Speaker 1:

Happens every day at Disneyland. I guarantee you there's at least. There's at least 100 people that go. Okay, I got everybody in my party Fastpass. Wait, no, I'm not in your party. Shit, everything's fucked.

Speaker 2:

Right, dude, and if you miss it by like 30 seconds, you're like 50 minutes Outside the. It's like what the hell? That ain't no joke, that stuff ain't no joke. Although, although I guess I liked the Fastpass, I didn't.

Speaker 1:

I only used it really twice. We did okay with it. I mean even without it.

Speaker 2:

That's what I mean. Without it, it was still a hit. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought we would need it and it turns out we really didn't need it Because the lines although I suppose it did help. For what is that? Space Mountain?

Speaker 3:

It would have helped, yeah.

Speaker 2:

It helped, like the mofo for Space Mountain.

Speaker 1:

I mean you guys were still gone for like an hour.

Speaker 2:

Well, we didn't use the.

Speaker 1:

Fast Pass for Space Mountain.

Speaker 2:

Right, it was supposed to be a 25-minute, or it was supposed to be like a 25-minute wait, because that's what it said. When we got there and it turned out it was a 55 minute wait. Yep, so that was just a bs crap. So you didn't use the fast pass for okay, so it would have helped there.

Speaker 1:

What?

Speaker 2:

the hell did we use? We used, remember, because they booted us. There was something we all haunted. We did it on pirates. It was how it was haunted mansion. Yeah, because it booted us for that time frame, because it was supposed to be 10 50, and then it the ride broke, and then it cleared it, cleared it, cleared our reservation for the Fast Pass, and then when it came back on, it gave us a time two hours sooner. So it was like winning. Let's do that.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I think the park overall was really slow, it was.

Speaker 3:

The fact that we were able to.

Speaker 1:

I've heard that the week after Thanksgiving is generally pretty slow, just because everybody already traveled for Thanksgiving. They're getting ready for Christmas, so I think that week is just like a sweet spot, where it's we need to remember that. We need to remember that yeah, if we're going to start doing this annually, I think that's definitely our our sweet spot our sweet spot as well. But I mean, we cleared out the entire Fantasyland rides set up, which I don't think I'd ever done that before.

Speaker 1:

We usually don't do the Fantasyland rides period, so the fact that we were able to get through like five of them yeah, we did all of them except for Peter Pan.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it was all new to me, so I enjoyed all of that.

Speaker 1:

And Lou had never done the teacups before.

Speaker 2:

Nope, sure didn't, although spinning that thing I feel like I'm a weak mofo, because I thought I'd be able to spin that thing like crazy.

Speaker 1:

They geared him down.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I feel better now Because I was like I always thought it was supposed to be. You know, everybody's going to get sick on this because you're going so fast, and it was like.

Speaker 1:

I can barely spin. What the? Hell's going on here I'm guessing when the amount, the cost of cleaning solution for the throw up you reach a certain level, they're like, okay, tighten the governor up because both both, both me and the girl I was with were cranking just like let's, let's get as go, and it was just it felt like well, like it was just felt like you were almost kind of in a molasses or something like it didn't feel like it.

Speaker 2:

You're right, it was in mud or whatever it was. It was like okay, but I guess maybe there was a carnival I had been to or something like that and those ones will spin really fast, those ones don't have laws governing them.

Speaker 1:

It's wild west with those You're likely to just fly out the door. Yeah, you signed a waiver when you bought a ticket, fuck off. Then we did Two Town, we did Runaway Runaway Picnic, is that?

Speaker 3:

what it's called.

Speaker 2:

That's the one we got stuck on Then we got stuck at the very very end Waiting for the last door to open.

Speaker 1:

Lou's about to miss his line With the picnickers.

Speaker 2:

I was like where's Racistofy? What the hell man? That's what we got on this ride. We can hear racist Goofy.

Speaker 1:

Racist John, this Goofy, my man's eyes are yellow as hell on that ride. And then Jack surprised all of us by getting us into a photo opportunity with Darth Vader. So that was the second. It was not even Lou's birthday, but it was Lou's fucking birthday 100.

Speaker 2:

Another big old cheesy smile. As soon as he turned the corner I was like, oh, my eyes got big. That was cool.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, your eyes were the only thing that got big. Come on, man. It's a good thing he wasn't wearing sweatpants that day.

Speaker 2:

Exactly. Thank you, rubber undies.

Speaker 1:

That was fun. It was fun when.

Speaker 2:

We all got a photo too.

Speaker 1:

But then at the end.

Speaker 2:

I want to shake your head.

Speaker 1:

She was like and he's like no Straight up.

Speaker 2:

Put her hand out. He was in the middle.

Speaker 1:

The voice box was in the middle of saying something else. And then he's like no, he stopped talking was like go, you're out did something to you too, jack, yeah, so you had a rebel. Yeah, you had your vader shirt on and he's like oh, I sense the dark side in you. And I had my grogu um christmas sweater on. He said don't put your faith in the jedi.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's what it was. I was like that grogu's not a jed on. He said don't put your faith in the jedi. Yeah, that's what it was.

Speaker 2:

I was like that grogu's not a jedi, though, so fuck that guy not yet I understand when grogu shows up anyways grogu can be like 150 in the future movies and he can go against dark talent and then we uh were able to get into olga's yep, I think that was. After that was a hot mess because of space mountain, because of the aforementioned Space Mountain, we had a 620 reservation that we should have been able to make because they told us 25 minutes for Space Mountain. But, yeah, that did not happen, so we missed our 620 reservation.

Speaker 1:

But you know what we?

Speaker 2:

still got a table, though I was going to say. But it did work out though, because we got a table.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it worked out for all of you, because I'm fucking pack horse and everything up everyone had left their backpacks and shit with me and they're like texting, like we're going a different direction, we're not coming by you, you need to bring the stuff to us and I'm like mother, no that's not what it was.

Speaker 2:

We were still going to go by you, but we know you're walking slower because you have the hurt knee or our foot, because foot the foot, the hurt foot. So it was like, hey, give Duke the heads up, because we thought we could still make the reservation or whatever They'd hold it for us. So it was like, let Duke know to go now, so we don't ditch him, we can catch up to him as we're walking by. And we thought we would walk by you Like oh, there he is, and then grab all the stuff and then we walk together. Didn't see you.

Speaker 1:

The whole time was weird I think I took the wrong turn when I got into galaxy. He made a wrong turn it out I'm not galaxy's edge to me. I don't know the layout very well so I don't know, like once you get past the cutout, like when you actually get into batu, like the quickest way to get to olga's, like I think I made a left was supposed to make a right type of thing get rid of that.

Speaker 2:

l it's ogus, ogus. She's not Russian. Yeah, exactly what's her? Olga Kuralenko, or?

Speaker 1:

whatever, that's what I think about, oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, Me too.

Speaker 1:

It's homegirl from Triple X right. Triple X yeah.

Speaker 2:

I can't remember the first movie I saw her in. Was that was it? I don't think it was Triple.

Speaker 1:

X, was it? It was no, that was, I don't think so something. No, was it that vampire movie asia argento was in triple x? Oh yeah, argento's. Uh, the, the guy who, directed zombie imdb later, but there is a not full permission skin son I mean not while we're live you know jack's gonna do like a little blur part, just like right here, just like burp.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I forgot, I forgot to ask you this With the drinks at Oga's, had you had all of them, minus the new one, of course, that just came out, but the other ones you had? That Jedi Mind Trick, yeah, I think.

Speaker 1:

I talked to that whole menu. The Jedi Mind Trick was an OG one. I thought the Jedi Mind Trick was one of the first ones yeah, no it was the cinnamon creamy one that me and Louz Girl got. That was a new one yeah.

Speaker 2:

Koshian something, and then you got the shot. Yeah, the jet fuel one.

Speaker 1:

Goddamn.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'll put hair on your chest.

Speaker 1:

I'll put hair on your chest. Luz got his bloody rancor. I don't put hair on the hair on your chest. Lou got his bloody rancor.

Speaker 2:

I did the bacon dog. It's that bacon.

Speaker 1:

Our waiter was pretty hilarious. Yeah, he was. He was good it's good when those guys are in character. Sometimes you get them and they're just like welcome to Disneyland. What can I get you? And you're like look fucking Eeyore, oh no. Right, man Tell me how much Oga hates you. I guess you're going to want. You have 45 minutes until you have to leave Right Two drink maximum whatever. Sure, so we did pretty good on that, I feel like.

Speaker 2:

As far as the drinks go, oh, and you got your Lothcap, I got my.

Speaker 1:

Lothcap. It's in your mug, your popcorn bucket.

Speaker 2:

Yep, along with my lightsabers that I could not bring back or chose not to bring back. I could have brought it back, but I chose not to. It would have been a bitch to do it, but I was like you know what. It's too much headache. Worst case scenario I'll send Jack $40 out of that shit. Ship Right, it's already plugged for real.

Speaker 1:

Just slap a label on that bitch and then you guys went off to go do what was after Olga's. Because we split up, because I just stayed in that's when we went and did Pooh. Yeah, okay, you guys did Pooh and then was it right after that I think so, because it was getting late-ish. No, I don't wait.

Speaker 2:

No, after Olga's, we did that towards the end of the night going back. We did after which is when we did, we did, we did olga's I was that was seven. Yeah, because we didn't get into like seven.

Speaker 1:

So then, we're there till quarter till for fire yeah, it's, we left.

Speaker 2:

We left that quarter or got the bill at quarter till eight.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, you're right, then we have to go so the last time we did this, there was an area in Batuu, galaxy's Edge, that you could watch the fireworks from the spire and we thought it was super cool. Turns out, disney also thought it was super cool, and turns out they're like oh, by the way, now if you want to see it from that perspective, it'll be $90 a person Extra.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

For that 15 minutes and all of us were like, uh, hell, no, no, no, that wasn't it. It's 20 minutes, it's 20 minutes lou wanted to see normal. Yeah, but lou wanted to. Lou also wanted to see it from the from.

Speaker 2:

Yeah I hadn't, because the other two times that I had been before this one it we were in Galaxy's Edge for both fireworks. So, like they said, I wanted to see it around closer to the castle and we got to do it and we got a good spot too.

Speaker 3:

I wasn't mad about it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was like we were there, we got to see everything going on. We were on Main Street, I think.

Speaker 3:

So we got to see the projections in the building.

Speaker 2:

It was super cool. I liked it.

Speaker 1:

Rewind real quick Trippy when we were doing the Alice in Wonderland thing and we come outside, there's a little thing at the end of Alice in Wonderland where the little carts go outside the building for 30 seconds or a minute and they were doing the lighting of the candles or the celebration. It was probably like seven or eight people wide walking down the street, walking down the street underneath where the alice in wonderland ride was all like trying all um chanting, chant, yeah, chanting christmas stuff, and all of them had candles. And you pop out and you're like this is so weird that we're in like the alice in wonderland high ride, where you're supposed to be high as shit, and you come back out and then some wild like mid-sumar type shit's happening like outside. You're like what is going on right now?

Speaker 1:

I guess that's a big thing, though it was one of their uh holiday. They go to the the christmas tree at the other end of main Street and have a whole thing. Yeah, that's when chairs and shit were out there.

Speaker 1:

So yeah after the fireworks I split off from the group and went back to Batuu, which ended up being super fucking cool. And then everybody else did Winnie the Pooh and there was something else that people wanted to do. I don't remember what it was, but Jack and I had Lightsaber Building at 11.15 or something 11.25. I went back to Batuu by myself. I love Disneyland after fireworks because that place becomes like a ghost town.

Speaker 1:

You didn't want to do Star star tours a bunch of times because they limited the variety yeah, well, and also my foot was really bothering me by that point, so I don't think I could have done the laps. And again, we did it earlier. That was one of the rides we did do earlier was start. Yeah, it said I already seen the one. There was like a little variety, right jack, there's like two opening scenes and like two or three mid-scenes.

Speaker 1:

Three messages and then the purgles, purgles at the end. It's very disappointing. Batuu after fireworks is really cool, it was really quiet. I just sat there for like an hour just chilling. I went and got myself some blue milk, drank it before Lou got back.

Speaker 2:

You're looking out Lou supports blue milk.

Speaker 1:

I had an interesting interaction with one of the cast members. They were putting all the tables and stuff back from the area they had cleared out for the fireworks and he asked me how my bright or was it bright moons Is that what they call it at night?

Speaker 3:

Mm-hmm. Rising moons.

Speaker 1:

Rising, what they call it at night, rising moons rising there you go, rising yeah asked me how my time was and I was like, oh, you know, I'm just sitting here wondering how I get to move in here and he makes a comment about it. Not, life isn't always, you know, it's not always greener on the other side type of thing. I made a joke about them doing the tetris with the tables every night and how they make it work, because I I had overheard them talking, but they were talking like cast members. They weren't talking like but two years right, and they were talking about how annoying it was that they always just buy new tables instead of repairing the tables that they had, which I thought was funny, because there were like a couple of the tables where, like the, the tops were obviously not attached well to the legs, type of thing. And then I, you know, I made the.

Speaker 1:

I tried to be in world and said, every time we visit you guys, this planet, you're always super hospitable and I appreciate it, or whatever. So please let everybody else you know that here, know that. And the guy goes like, oh, but he's one of the ones that, like, organizes all the bullshit at night, cleans up everybody's. You know all the, the shit that people leave behind. They're like it looked like he had just started to shift and he's like man, I never heard anybody say that before, so I appreciate it. So that meant that was cool. That was a cool little interaction, you know where. Uh, you know, just paying somebody a compliment who probably doesn't see very many people at night, because that place was a fucking dead zone. It was a 10-minute wait for Smuggler's Run.

Speaker 2:

Which means no wait.

Speaker 1:

And I think and Rise closes after fireworks. Right, jack.

Speaker 3:

Or before fireworks no.

Speaker 1:

No, they used to. They started keeping it open later now. I think it closed at like 10 or something else. Yeah, a little after fireworks, but it used to. They started keeping it open later now. I think it closed at like 10 or something else. So, yeah, a little after fireworks, but it used to close at like 7 or something, because it took them that long to get all the maintenance done for the next day. And then, finally, the group showed back up. What did you guys do while I was in Batuu? We went to Winnie the Pooh Seth Little One's jam. She loves it.

Speaker 2:

I don't know that we did much. I think it was just that. Fireworks store.

Speaker 1:

Because Lou separated, because I bought the girls snacks. We got a Tigger Tail and some cookies and some other shit. Yeah, but that was in the store. Yeah, but you were gone after that, though, because we were sitting around for a minute near Pooh eating. Oh, you're right.

Speaker 2:

You went somewhere? We did go. We headed back towards Duke. Okay, because we ran into him before you guys showed up, right, yeah?

Speaker 1:

I think so yeah.

Speaker 2:

No, because we met at Winnie the Pooh.

Speaker 1:

Right, but after Pooh, oh after.

Speaker 2:

Pooh, that's right. After Pooh we kept going and met up with Duke because I asked you how to get out and you were like go up here and go left. And good thing old girl was with me because I was like, okay, he said go left, we're going left. And after that I was like I think we go this way. She's like, yes, we go this way. She knew where we were going. So I was like all right, cool, and yeah. So we met up with Duke for a bit because you guys showed up like 30, 45 minutes later.

Speaker 3:

Not even that long. No, I wasn't yeah.

Speaker 2:

We don't have anything to do until 1125 Because during that time, before we met up with Duke, I took her to do her build, her droid build.

Speaker 1:

That's what you have to do. That's what you did.

Speaker 2:

I knew it was back that way towards Duke. But okay, I can remember that we did the droid build because she wanted to do that for her birthday. That was like the whole Her own birthday present to herself, because last time she got the Chopper type of droid and this time she wanted a BB unit.

Speaker 1:

I can't believe she lost her remote control. She's a grown-ass woman.

Speaker 2:

Although no, a grown-ass woman with a seven-year-old, but she downloaded the app and it did work, and it has more options too. It made more noise, so that was kind of cool.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to have to try that with the little ones then.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so she did it yesterday I think or the day before, and she was loving it. So the download did work. It was great. She purples her favorite color, so she made herself a purple BB unit, loved that. And then, since you guys were doing the lightsaber build and I'd already done it, I took her over to savi's to go look at the different, the four different options they have, or well, obviously more than four options technically, but the four styles that they had, just so she could look at it and it's like, oh, that's super cool.

Speaker 2:

and then we went to go meet up with dude and then, uh, and then yeah no, I was gonna say then, that's when that that yeah, I'm like, we're, like, we're like we're doing shit.

Speaker 1:

So let's see if they'll let us in early.

Speaker 2:

So and they got, you guys showed up yeah, they're like, hey, we have 11 25 or they have 11 25 reservation, so what? We have nothing to do right now, so can we go in early? And they appreciated the hell out of that.

Speaker 1:

They were like, yes, so like who's going on, like me? And I pointed to duke him, and then we pointed at a lose girl and she's like what?

Speaker 2:

right, she was all excited, eyes all big, what? Because it was a birthday present that I was doing for her and did not obviously did not tell her about it, and that was the whole thing. And this backtracks all the way to the lightsaber thing. Because I had planned on doing the lightsaber with them, with oh girl, so all four of us could do it, and all that. And it was like okay, cause she'd be totally surprised. And then the lightsaber option presented itself. I'm like well, I'm not going to take away the opportunity for her, but I'll take it away for me and just double up and get twice as much and just get the saber instead. I was like yeah, no problem.

Speaker 3:

I was like, yeah, no problem, I've already done it.

Speaker 2:

I'm good.

Speaker 1:

You got three lightsabers for the price of one and a badass one. Three lightsabers for the price of two.

Speaker 2:

I was like, yeah, we're good. So yeah, she was super shocked.

Speaker 1:

And a box that will sing at me.

Speaker 2:

And a box that'll yeah exactly.

Speaker 1:

At that point, jack your family like tailed off right. Your family, the rest of your family bailed right. I don't think.

Speaker 2:

Except for your oldest. Oldest Oldest was there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, my oldest stayed.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Because you could bring in one, the other two hold on, the other two went on. They went on a different ride. They went and did rides.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they went and did something. Yeah, but we didn't go back with them was my point. We loaded everybody into our car. Oh, that's right, they straight bailed on us.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, after that, after they finished their rides, they did not wait yeah they straight bailed on us.

Speaker 1:

That's right. So the nice thing about doing the lightsabers this time was that we actually had Lou there, not doing a lightsaber, so he was able to take some really cool pictures. Sam, I think, was the guy who led our group.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that dude was cool.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I will say again for the second time those guys, while they do generally follow a script like there's going to be a level of intensity, how much they're into it. Yeah, and I feel like we've gotten lucky both times Without ruining it. If you go to Disneyland and you have not been there since they opened up Galaxy's Edge, bring the 250. Yeah, spend it on that.

Speaker 2:

Bring 250, build the saber, get the experience. It is worth it Skip every other souvenir toy whatever.

Speaker 1:

If you've got to skip a churro or two, do the lightsaber, but don't skip the Darth Vader lightsabers, if you're into that.

Speaker 2:

Opportunity cost is real, it's okay.

Speaker 1:

But I ended up getting the standard Jedi lightsaber. This time Jack got the dark side lightsaber, she got the nature one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, In purple.

Speaker 1:

I had my Roosevelt Dagobah drip shirt on. Oh my.

Speaker 2:

God 13, 12, 15.

Speaker 1:

Ended up being 15 at the end.

Speaker 2:

That was the final number.

Speaker 1:

So I went back downstairs to go grab the drinks, or I had left the room to go get something and I got back in the elevator and there was a girl there who I think worked for somebody. She had a cart, like a rolly cart, full of sodas and drinks and she got on the elevator with me and she was like, oh, nice shirt. And I'm like, yeah, 15, what's up? Throughout the day I ended up getting 15 compliments on it. So definitely an investment Well worth it yeah, Roosevelt's are worth it, just for your ego.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, compliments on it so definitely an investment.

Speaker 1:

Roosevelt's are worth it. Just for your ego. Even to our Christmas party last night I wore my new frosty one Bunch of compliments. No one even knew what it was. It's like man, I missed out on that Roosevelt. Yeah, sucker. And you're like it sure wasn't everything You're like we should be friends, alright y'all, we're like we should be friends.
