Three friends hanging out talking about life and all of our interests. Everything from Star Wars to sports.
Vaguely Inconsistent
Festive Feasts, Fantasy Football, and New Year Reflections
Send us a text message! Tell us what you think!
Ever wondered why marzipan is shaped like pigs? Or how gifting Kendrick Lamar tickets could spark unexpected teenage joy? Kick off the holiday spirit with us as we share laugh-out-loud moments, from ear fetishes to holiday scheduling mishaps. The festive chaos of gift-giving gets us musing about the joys of spoiling loved ones while indulging in delightful self-care along the way. Join in our culinary escapades, where a prime rib feast awaits, and get ready to reminisce with nostalgic holiday tunes.
Switching from festive feasts to New Year's reflections, we tackle the pressure of resolutions. Are they really necessary, or is there a better approach to personal growth? We discuss the pitfalls of rigid expectations and how gyms thrive on broken January commitments. Instead, we advocate for continuous improvement that starts whenever you're ready, not when the calendar flips. It's all about setting broad goals, like enhancing gratitude or healthier living, without the countdown stress.
Finally, we journey through thrilling sports fandom and critiquing recent movies and TV series. From the Golden Knights' victories to the ups and downs of fantasy football, there's excitement at every turn. We entertain with sharp critiques on Star Wars storytelling and a werewolf narrative that went a little hairy. As the Las Vegas strip gears up for the F1 race, we ponder a pedestrian-only future amidst ongoing construction. It's a rollercoaster of fun, sports banter, and holiday cheer, perfect for anyone looking to laugh and reflect on the season's quirks and charms.

What the hell Like? Seriously, just a slice. It's like a log and they just slice it. I don't see no damn shape, no animals. Y'all making shit up, look it's a pan pig then. Okay, let's do that, and if it's, a link.

Speaker 3:What the hell does marzipan mean, that definition? Up in pace because I'm like how you have marzipan fruit and marzipan pigs? I mean some fucking bacon. I'm gonna take some bacon, I'm gonna shape. How do you have marzipan fruit and marzipan pigs? I mean some fucking bacon. I'm going to take some bacon and I'm going to shape it.
Speaker 1:We have to go to Cost Plus to get it too. So you have to go to the fancy store for it.
Speaker 3:A sweet yellowish paste of ground almonds, sugar and egg whites, often colored Racist motherfucker, often colored and used to make small cakes or confections. Or this motherfucker, often colored and used to make small cakes or confections or as an icing for larger cakes. Oh, that's the. I wanted to say that it's that shit you make to make fancy cake designs.
Speaker 1:It's not fondant, it's different.
Speaker 3:The way they described it.
Speaker 1:it was like that no, it tastes way better than fondant.
Speaker 3:Hmm, well did you have, so you ate your tasty pigs.
Speaker 1:No, we didn't get pigs. I was actually kind of sad about it. You just got a Cinnabon, your loaf that you saw they put that in the bread.
Speaker 2:It was pretty good. I like it, but cinnamon buns this year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we had cinnamon rolls, too Hot cocoa.
Speaker 2:Spoiled the girls.
Speaker 1:Little one got more zombie babies. Saw that Big one got her Kendrick Lamar tickets.
Speaker 3:And didn't even react. No, yeah, she did. You see the video.
Speaker 1:I watched it back. I'm like no, that is more emotion than I usually get out of her.
Speaker 3:I saw that and I was like holy crap, she's not a robot.
Speaker 1:Look at that so now she can go back to school With her head held high.
Speaker 2:But you gotta take mom and dad. That's the only downside.
Speaker 1:Just dad, them tickets was too expensive. Just the two of you then yeah, just me and her. My dad never took me to no rap concert when I was 14.
Speaker 3:I did, but it was Chris and Susan were going to the background. The mom was rapping presents out. They were singing 14. I did, but it was Christmas music on the background. The mall was rapping presents out.
Speaker 1:They were singing the Christmas rapping song by the waitress. No, but that's too strong, because it is my favorite holiday.
Speaker 3:Nope.
Speaker 1:Dang.
Speaker 2:We'll have to send it to you afterwards.
Speaker 3:You know that song? Yeah, I don't hear you singing.
Speaker 2:I don't know the words to the song. I know when he said it.
Speaker 1:Duke's like yeah, I know this jam, I got it AZ lyrics, buddy.
Speaker 2:Right, sorry, hang on. Let me open up another tab that I need to have open during the podcast, in case song lyrics fucking come up. And I got to be like oh shit, jack's gonna sing. I better type in the song Be prepared, duke.
Speaker 3:Always ready. I had a browser open, ready to type in Marzipan. What the hell.
Speaker 1:I didn't need a browser because I know everything.
Speaker 3:Damn.
Speaker 1:I'm like a leader up in this bitch.
Speaker 3:What Roosevelt shirt are you?
Speaker 1:wearing Alligator Loki. Oh, alligator Loki, yeah, alligator Loki, it's even got Throg somewhere. I can't point to my nipple.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there it is, we know where your nipples are.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we do.
Speaker 2:It's a little cold out here in the casino. There's a really good steakhouse in town. They do the half of a prime rib for Christmas. It's for six people, do it's for six people? So it's like a half prime rib, a bunch of mashed potatoes, all the fixings and stuff like that. It's 250 bucks. But I was like there's no way I'm eating a whole half a prime rib by myself, or else I totally would have bought it next year. I gotta, next year, I gotta get some people together, a few people who aren't doing anything, so we can get it and I can give a, send a report back like what's a half a prime rib?
Speaker 3:like?
Speaker 1:right. Different sizes. What's the other half?
Speaker 2:of the rib. I don't. Well, I think they just cut it in half. It's like a whole, like it's a whole. The prime rib is like the whole piece, and then they cut enough for like six people and then you cut that down from there. I think again, I don't know, I'll have to buy it. I just got the email promotion and I was like that sounds really good. Then I asked a couple people and they're like not this year.
Speaker 3:How much notice did you give them?
Speaker 2:Like a week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's not.
Speaker 2:I didn't get the email until the week before, so I didn't know it existed until I got that email.
Speaker 3:That's bad on them. Yeah, that's bad on them. That's bad on them. They only give you a week, right? Excuse me, I assume it was also sides, or the sides separate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like mashed potatoes. Green beans got you a basket of rolls.
Speaker 3:A basket. A singular basket, no refills.
Speaker 1:What the fuck do you bring?
Speaker 2:at home. Yeah, you bring it at home. Was it a to get new refills? What the fuck are you bringing home?
Speaker 3:Hey, you bring it home. It was a take-home thing. I thought you showed up at the restaurant.
Speaker 2:You showed up at the restaurant.
Speaker 1:Did you try your potatoes all rotten?
Speaker 3:Nope, ended up doing baked potatoes with steak and veggies instead with crescent rolls Could replace it.
Speaker 1:He didn't expand his culinary plate.
Speaker 3:No, not at all. I'm not even going to lie, I'm not going to say I didn't look for it. That was the original plan. Went there to go get it and then saw these baked potatoes at Sam's and was like, huh, there's four of these already put together with all the fixings and everything. Just throw them in the oven for 45 minutes. I'm like hey, how about this? She's like ooh, I was thinking that too Pivot. So we went right to the baked potato instead.
Speaker 3:And then we pivoted the meat to like chuck roast instead of the steak. Yeah, it was chuck roast not steak, it was the chuck roast because we both prefer it. So, yeah, ended up doing that. And then pumpkin pie for dessert. That's what it does, doing that, and then pumpkin pie for dessert. That's one does. It was either that 11 meringue, but we're at sam's and and that's too. Then they're just too much. Man, I'd have to like take that shit to work, like, okay, y'all scavengers come tear this up. Those pies are huge. Man, can I get at least at least a grocery store? You can get a half pie.
Speaker 2:I was like, oh alright, that's cool, you can even get the slice if you want, if there's only a couple of you.
Speaker 3:You can just do that. I'm fine with a half pie because they're smaller pies. They're an 8-inch, 9-inch pie, fucking Sam's. That thing is 12, 13, 14,. Whatever size that thing is, it's huge.
Speaker 2:You can put that shit on your car and drive it home. Yeah, you have to strap it to the roof.
Speaker 3:See, that thing's big enough to be the car Hell. It's ridiculous Driving my pie home. So, yeah, nice and simple.
Speaker 1:Well, what's New Year's coming up? Do you guys do New Year's resolutions at all?
Speaker 3:No, I haven't been doing that in a long time. After I realized that I don't follow any of them. What's the point as you get older, if I want to do something, I'll just do it. Cold turkey, I'll just like. I feel like doing this, I'll do it. Starting now, I'm going to act a until january 1st and all of a sudden I'm gonna be a good boy.
Speaker 2:I can agree with that I mean, I think I I probably spend more time doing reflection and thinking about stuff that I can improve on, like I mean, we've been talking, we've spent a lot of time on the podcast talking about being uh, being grateful and that type of thing. So those types of things like what are things that I can do next year?
Speaker 2:that you know, that maybe I didn't do enough. Looking back, you go okay, like what could I've done more of? Not necessarily like holding myself to like, oh, I'm gonna do this 20 more, right, or I'm gonna do this twice a week instead of once a week, but more of what am I gonna do to try to put more? Where am I I going to put my efforts Right?
Speaker 1:I can agree with that. So cause I think that calling it, labeling it, a new year's resolution will kind of stress you out Right Like, ah, I'm a fucking failure. I missed the gym this week. I was supposed to go every week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I saw that commercial like failure Friday, the second Friday of January, whatever it is. I was like okay, and then a lot of people do that shit. They just give up completely. Oh, I had a bad day. Nope, it's over, I'm done.
Speaker 1:Yep, try again next year.
Speaker 2:Yep, I've read a couple articles talking about how much money gyms and shit make off of the January people joining in January and then they don't bother canceling until July. Right, like yeah. Again, I mean it's one of those things like when you subscribe to something and they just never use it. They don't care, they're still collecting their money.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that's, and that's why you got to get that experience app or whatever it is, to help cancel all the shit you're not using.
Speaker 2:I don't know, rocket money.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's one of them A lot of them do that. It's like I don't know. I guess if you have a lot I don't know, I keep track of my shit pretty easily. I don't know why people are like oh, I didn't know I had this, how do you not know able?
Speaker 2:to keep track of it either through a spreadsheet or mentally in your head, or whatever. That's when you've got to start going. Okay, now I need to start looking at where all my money's going. It's you know, yeah, every time you go to the bar. Well, that's free Lou.
Speaker 3:And not if you're subscribing to a website.
Speaker 2:Wait, you're doing it wrong, buddy.
Speaker 3:Am I.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't got to pay for that shit.
Speaker 3:Okay, good to know, good to know.
Speaker 2:I'll give you some pointers, pointers, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:He's going to be very blunt with his pointers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, I'm going to lay it on heavy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you can't help that. That's just genetics. Lay it on heavy, big is big. What are you going to do? I'll have a resolution to lift weights anyway. There it is my chin. You going to do I know, hey, I'll have a resolution to lift weights anyway.
Speaker 2:There it is. My chin is going to be so strong by the end of the year.
Speaker 3:My jaw you have such a Henry Cavill jaw all of a sudden.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, are you going to be the next?
Speaker 1:Wolverine, did you get your cheeks done? Did you get some plastic surgery? Nope, working out Just New Year's resolution.
Speaker 3:Exactly. I just didn't give up on Failure Friday, that's all.
Speaker 2:Start over Saturday is what I call it Now it's.
Speaker 1:Fallatio Friday. Yeah but yeah no but as far as that goes.
Speaker 2:How about you jack? Are you a? Are you a?
Speaker 1:resolution guy. No, no, I think I agree with lou like, why wait until the beginning of the year to be better? Just be better, just little things here and there? Is it a good idea to like, maybe make broad goals? You know, like it'd be cool if I worked out more, you know, if I started a new tradition, a new habit. That'd be cool. But to put like a new year's- resolution positive habit.
Speaker 2:Yes, let's, let's start a new, let's start a new habit.
Speaker 3:Yep, cocaine yeah, man plate the cookies during a podcast. That's a new habit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is. Hey, I don't have to start exercising until two days from now. Yeah, fuck that.
Speaker 3:He's like I don't know what day it is. It's two days from now, though, yeah.
Speaker 1:Whatever, I want to exercise next year, right, but no, just like as a person, just make yourself better all the time. You should always try to improve yourself as a person, but you know an overall goal, like we were talking about the Gratitude Project earlier in the show so many episodes ago. But just to be better at something whether it's losing weight or being nicer, saying nicer things to people you can start that shit anytime and just putting a name on it a New Year's resolution name on it, I think sets you up for failure, because then you're like well, I sucked at that, I messed it up once, I guess.
Speaker 3:And there are a lot of people who have that mentality. They screwed up once and they're like, oh, I'm over it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I done fucked up Instead of you know what Cool I stumbled. Let's keep going at it, you know, but I also understand.
Speaker 2:I also understand why people would use that as like a jumping off point, right, yeah, yeah, no, for sure. Because new year's, like new year's after, that kind of the the time frame before like the next holiday and that type of thing. Like you have a little bit of a runway where, right now, everybody's kind of gluttonous and you know in their own way right, whether it's eating a lot, drinking a lot, doing a lot of traveling, like all of those types of things. Yeah, well, that's 365, like it's not, like it's not like you're jerking off more because it's the holidays you know we're inside more I mean they're dressed up like sexy Santas.
Speaker 3:Is this season to be jolly?
Speaker 1:Let it Exactly, let it now what. But no, I see what your point too, you know. Hey, now I have a starting point. Yeah, but you also have to take it as that is a starting point. It's not a an all or nothing thing. Yeah, so yeah, but you also have to take it as that is a starting point. It's not a an all or nothing thing. Yeah, so yeah. Yeah, people don't have to work out.
Speaker 2:Your goal is to work out more Like. You need to give yourself the grace.
Speaker 1:Right, I'm working out zero now. I'm doing it once a week now, so that's more than you did last year, your so?
Speaker 2:that's more than you did last year.
Speaker 1:Your left arm looks like you've been working out a lot, my friend Exactly.
Speaker 3:Ambidextrous up in here.
Speaker 2:Never a stranger, just strange.
Speaker 3:I'm going to work on my flexibility, see if I can get my feet to do it.

Speaker 3:What was that? What was that one dude, what was that baby? Mama's baby was really into shortening, really into shortening, shortening bread, shortening bread, really loved it. Some say.
Speaker 2:That's really why you hate milk and stuff, lou, because your mom used to leave you in the Crisco.
Speaker 3:Hey, man, we were out of lotion. That could not be helped.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I have an oashi baby up in here.
Speaker 3:Right, you're out of a stick of butter, you're out of Jurgens. You got no choice, man, you bust out the Crisco Lou's mom holding him up by one foot with the basting brush. Wait, wait To be fair. To be fair, it was my brother and he was a teenager.
Speaker 2:Now, you just made it awkward. No, you haven't met Liz Mom.
Speaker 1:That did happen.
Speaker 3:True story. Okay, so my brother and I were visiting my dad's side of the family in California and we were going out someplace. It was probably like seriously, we were probably 13, 14, something like that and we're visiting and grandma was out of lotion and actually got some butter and put it on my brother but I was smelling like a freaking loaf of bread. It was like I was like, wow, that actually happened.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that was a joke Brother out there smelling like Lando, Out there smelling like Lando Leakes and shit right.
Speaker 3:Oh man 35 years later and I still remember. I'm never going to forget that one.
Speaker 2:You ordered some mashed potatoes at dinner and you're just like rubbing his arm. You're like, okay, I need some butter for my mashed potatoes. Take a piece of that, taking the butter knife, and just like.
Speaker 3:Man, does this smell like food all day? It's like what the hell man, Only happened the one day we got restocked. By the time we got home we were out playing at the park, wherever we were.
Speaker 1:You know how Lou's scared of milk, his brother's the same way about butter.
Speaker 3:From now on, it's like what did I tell you? About that. That'll be margarine. Good old dairy boys, put that stick away, get the country crop. That shit ain't real man we need or at least me. I name drop a lot. We need to get paid. What the hell? Land O'Lakes All in the same five minutes, what the?
Speaker 2:hell.
Speaker 3:Crisco Roosevelt, crisco.
Speaker 2:One time We'll get there someday. 5,000 views, right, isn't it? 5,000 views, something like that.
Speaker 3:Where are you at? Mama Susan, but I forgot she died Wow.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, alright, boys you guys doing anything for New Year's?
Speaker 3:Doing anything tomorrow oh yeah, I already said mine Movie hanging out with my co-workers.
Speaker 1:Thankfully I don't have to work late, though Seniority pays off. Oh I thought that was required for all y'all no. No, we have to work Like nobody gets like vacation or anything but no T, I don't work my regular shit.
Speaker 3:No, that's a good problem, man, until they call y'all ass back.
Speaker 2:When does it start, like on New Year's Eve? When do things start getting busy as far as, like, the calls?
Speaker 1:and stuff when people start getting off of work.
Speaker 3:You know, like five-ish.
Speaker 1:Okay there we go, and then when the strip starts to close down, I think they start closing it down at like. That's earlier in the day, though right Six or something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was going to say that's like six when that happens. So about the same time man Between 5 and 6, when people get off work and they close the strip Because they close.
Speaker 2:It all right, so you can go walk.
Speaker 3:Not all of it. Sahara to Trop yeah, that's what it used to be anyway, it might be longer now.
Speaker 1:I was going to say it might be.
Speaker 3:I would guess further south now they keep Sahara, but they'd extend that down to Hacienda.
Speaker 1:Well, they have. I think they're having issues with TROP this year because they imploded the TROP, so I think they're actually moving it. So it might be like the north side of TROP up to Sahara, or, yeah, it might go up to Sahara still To the Strat.
Speaker 3:Remember the one year I went on the strip? That's what it was, and it seemed like every year I look it's the same damn thing, yeah yeah. It's pretty standard.
Speaker 1:Drop to Sahara. It's crazy that they have 2004,.
Speaker 3:I think is when I did it.
Speaker 1:There's a Golden Knights game tomorrow too. Ew, gross, but I think it's at noon or something. Okay, you have time to get out of there if you want Exactly, but also if you want to stay. I mean, at least you're already down there. Yeah, hopefully you get. Hopefully you pay for parking before it goes up to like $80. I think Fashion Joe's charging like $80 to park there. Good lord At the mall.
Speaker 3:You can just I'll just parachute in, fuck that.
Speaker 2:And I guess I'll ask both of you, because Jack, you lived in there and Lou, you live in there before A few of the. So there are a few touring touristy Vegas type videos that filter through my YouTube channel or my YouTube recommendations, and there has been, I guess, because of the F1 race stuff. I guess the conversation about closing basically closing the strip to all traffic and just making it all walking has been a more and more frequently talked about topic, where before, besides New Year's, that just was not something that happened. Is that something that, Jack? Have you heard anything else about that as far?
Speaker 1:as no, I don't think that'd be a good idea. Turn it into another Fremont? I don't think so. I say leave it open Because it's fun to drive down the Strat.
Speaker 2:Well, and everything's still so far apart, anyways.
Speaker 3:Like that's the thing that's me. That's a long walk, it doesn't look long.
Speaker 1:but if you're like, yeah, let's walk down to the Strat from the fricking MGM, yeah, you're going to be hurt.
Speaker 3:You know, the flip side of that is like downtown Denver, they have a free bus. It just goes up and down the main 16th Street is what it is. And if they did something like that for the strip to help with that almost like what the San Francisco trolleys I know you pay for that, I believe, but this make it free where almost like the tram just goes up and down the middle, obviously you have several of them, they just need to cover the people. So if you want to move around up and down the strip, that would help with that. If they wanted to block it off, oh, you could park at an end or on the sides, whatever. Let's say you could still park on the back streets to get to wherever you want a casino, and then from there. I mean that would be okay. But I'm with Jack, I kind of like the whole driving up and down the strip thing.
Speaker 1:Not that I do, that's a tourist thing.
Speaker 3:Unless somebody's visiting. You know how it is. It's like oh, this casino was built four years ago. I've never seen it. Oh, what Somebody's visiting. Great, let's go check it out.
Speaker 2:Pretty much Going to be doing that a lot in the next couple years. Baseball stadium.
Speaker 1:That'll probably probably the next thing to go check out Hard Rock, not until they have.
Speaker 3:Star Wars or Funko Pop oh, I forgot about that. Hard Rock, yeah the baseball. Oh man Going to that stadium in the middle of frickin' summer, yeah, that sounds great, right. Yeah. How they didn't build a dome. I have no idea.
Speaker 1:It's like a half a dome-ish. It is enclosed.
Speaker 3:The sun's going to be here, so let's put the shade here or just have all damn night games. But even then it's still hot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but having the sun is a lot better.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't imagine too many day games that are going to be happening in Vegas, no Plus, I mean, obviously it helps TV as well because it's West Coast so you can get a late game still for people to watch. I just like hey, you want to come to this game? It's July at two o'clock in the afternoon. I'm good, thank you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, no, I do not. Can we go to a bar that has air conditioning and watch it there, right?
Speaker 3:That's like I don't understand. Like you get some diehard fuckers out, that's true, and there are some, so more power to them, man.
Speaker 1:Speaking of Star Wars 9, I went to the minor league hockey game.
Speaker 3:Saturday.
Speaker 1:That was fun.
Speaker 3:I think I was confused. Was that different? Was there something going on for the Golden Knights game as well? The next day Okay.
Speaker 2:Did they have a giveaway or whatever?
Speaker 1:No, they had Star Wars jerseys. They did give away lightsabers, lightsabers.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, I called that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, light sword, laser swords.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Light up swords. But they did a whole introduction. They spoofed Star Wars. The Silver Knight was locked up. They had this dude, the Town Crier, who was dressed up as a stormtrooper and they had lucky. The mascot horse was Chewbacca and stuff. So they recreated the Death Star, Prison escape and stuff. It was cool. And, yes, I bought a jersey. Yes, it was a lot of money.
Speaker 2:But it's Star Wars and they probably were. I'm guessing they were probably raffling off the players'seys afterwards for charity auctioning yeah, they auction them off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I would have got one. One of them dudes was number 77. I'm like that'd be a badass one to get and as a star, you, and everybody else there. Right, it was better than last year's, though, because last year's they ran out of food. They ran out of a lot of stuff. I don't think they were expecting Star Wars people to be Star Wars people, but it seems to be a lot smoother run this time.
Speaker 3:That's a fail, fire somebody, and then we did go to the Golden Knights last night 3-0 victory.
Speaker 1:Yeah, shut out.
Speaker 3:Screw off Calgary.
Speaker 1:So yeah. That's always a fun time, especially because they're the ones we beat for the Cup a couple years ago. So they were a little scrappy.
Speaker 3:They went down in flame.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they burned out quick Sports, a couple of fights.
Speaker 3:How's your fantasy football ended up?
Speaker 1:Oh shit, I didn't even check. I know it said that I was going to win, so I stopped paying attention. After a little bit you were paying attention.
Speaker 3:I ended up in five semifinals, and of those five I lost three. So two finals and three third-place matches.
Speaker 1:Won all three third-place matches. Holy shit, she kicked your ass, lou Dude. I lost by like 60.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you did. And then I got second in the other two.
Speaker 1:So yeah, you did. And then I got second in the other team, so I got two seconds and three thirds this year. Holy crap. Like she wasn't even nice to you 142 to 81.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's 60. That's what I said About 60. My team did not show up at all, At all. I think that's the lowest score I got all year too. I think so too, and it happened. Got all year too. I think so too, and it happened in the finals. Luckily it wasn't for money.
Speaker 1:Right, I won 128 to 102. That's a beatdown too.
Speaker 3:Duke lost to a person that wasn't even playing.
Speaker 2:I wasn't even playing either, though, right.
Speaker 1:When you get to this point someone that's on ir and out dell on houston and edwards on the chargers gus edwards.
Speaker 3:yeah, other ones were crazy like like I lost. I lost big that finals both my finals got my ass kicked. The other one I lost like 185 to 250. Dang Dude had three dudes in the 40s and like two other dudes in the 30s it was his team. He had Joe Burrow and T Higgins, so it was like 40 points apiece, malik Neighbors 40. And then he got tonight. He got like 27 from Jameer Gibbs from Detroit. Yeah, it was just like get the F out of it. I got blown out.
Speaker 1:Did Detroit win?
Speaker 3:They were winning last time on championship. Yeah, they won by a touchdown.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they did.
Speaker 3:Was it 40 to 35? 34.
Speaker 1:34?
Speaker 3:34? Okay.
Speaker 1:An exact touchdown.
Speaker 3:He missed the extra point. That kicker missed an extra point in two field goals. Let's see, that's seven points they lost. By how much Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:Looks like Vikings and Lions is a game to watch next week, though.
Speaker 3:Next Sunday night. Yeah, that's the one Winner take all. It's crazy. Winner gets the one seed, loser gets the five seed.
Speaker 1:It's a hell of a drop off.
Speaker 3:You're going to be 14-3 and the 5 seed. You've got to play two straight road games. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2:My friend is a Packers fan. He came over to watch the game yesterday and we were just talking about how wild it is, how You're in the NFC North, where you could literally be in half of the other divisions and you would have locked up first place in the division you would have like you know, one of the division a month ago, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:Buffalo did. Yeah, like it's crazy, like if we would have been, if the Vikings or even the Packers would have been in the NFC West, like they would have locked things up, you know, playoff position, contending for having a bunch of tiebreakers and stuff like that for winning the division and stuff, and instead it's going to be like you're going to be playing a 9-7 team or whatever.
Speaker 3:Yeah, on the road, you're going to be playing at the Tampa Bay 10-16.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or the Rams oh yeah, yeah, rams 10.
Speaker 3:and 16.
Speaker 1:At least on paper. It gives you an easy game.
Speaker 2:But that's why they play them. Yeah, but this week's slate of games fucking sucked.
Speaker 3:The good ones were all on fucking Christmas break Saturday and all that. The good ones were all on fucking Christmas break Saturday and all that. The ones that mattered. Sunday was just like okay, the Sunday night game wasn't bad, though Atlanta-Washington turned out to be a good game. I mean mainly because it was bad football, but it turned out to be a good game. I mean two bad teams, two good teams. I'm fine with either, just don't give me a good versus a bad.
Speaker 1:That's boring. Two bad teams other than the bad football.
Speaker 3:it's at least close. It starts off Saturday. Nfc or AFC North will be settled on Saturday. What I don't get is why would they play the Ravens game first? Because once that game's over, pittsburgh knows that they can't win the division. I'm assuming the Ravens are going to beat the Browns, so it's like, okay, pittsburgh. At that point they're fighting for five and six because they can't be the seventh seed anymore, so all they can do is be the five or sixth seed depends on the Chargers.
Speaker 1:Raiders game on Sunday is the 1,000th Raiders home game ever.
Speaker 2:I assume you guys are going to go to that game, oh yeah, there's got to be some kind of gift right Something right Something on them seats, probably some towels or something. Who are the Raiders playing on?
Speaker 1:Sunday Chargers. They're probably not going to win, but I don't know it came out okay.
Speaker 3:I mean they screwed up their draft position like the Giants did, but whatever that's frustrating. I mean they screwed up their draft position like the Giants did, but whatever that's frustrating, I mean I get it.
Speaker 2:Somebody seems fucking over their playoff position, just to get a win right.
Speaker 3:Draft position yeah, yeah, for sure. It's like man, I'm telling you, if I'm a GM, there is no way. I'm like you need to start the third stringers. I don't even want the first stringers dressed up, just in case somebody gets hurt.
Speaker 3:Put in the second stringers. You do not go. I treat it like the preseason. Let's see who we're keeping for next year. That's how I would sell it. Everybody would know you'd be tanking, but that's what I'm saying. The Raiders played a decent game. Granted, they played a shitty team. I mean, they played a shitty team. They had no business. Raiders had no business winning that game, but they did. There's still hope that they can beat the Chargers and help the Steelers out. I just don't have the confidence that the Steelers are going to beat Cincinnati straight up. I know they did a month ago. They won 44-38. High scoring. But Pittsburgh defense has fallen off. Russ has fallen off. It's just whatever. They're already in the playoffs, great. Go lose your first game so I can stop worrying about you. Don't give me hope they win a game and I'm like, oh, maybe they have a chance. Nah, just cut that shit off. If you're not going to win the Super Bowl, lose the first round to have a better draft pick.
Speaker 1:Simple as that. Losing all that, losing all or nothing yeah, honestly, when it comes to no games that that's how I want you.
Speaker 3:I want you 17 and 0 or 17. Don't, don't give me that crap. In between, it's like oh, we're gonna hang around mediocrity and pick 18th every year like you're. All that means you're gonna keep getting mediocre players. Great, they don't have a quarterback worth a damn because they've been drafting in the middle the whole time. It's like like, man, I would love to have Jaden Daniels. Even Drake Bay is pretty good. Michael Penix looks like he can play. I don't know, man, whatever it's like, what are you supposed to do? So it's like all right, live in mediocrity.
Speaker 1:Yep, at least the.
Speaker 3:Giants had a chance to reset, like they did with Eli Manning in 2004. Had a chance. Here we are, 20 years later. Had a chance and no, they got to go out and win. Although kind of blame the Colts, how do you lose to the Giants? Man You're fighting. This was a playoff game for you. You needed to win this game to keep your playoff chances aligned and you're going to lose to the three. Win now, three win. It's a time to win. Giants. Get out of me, damn Giants, players with pride and all that crap. Get on my nerves.
Speaker 3:You feel that that's pride fucking with you Right, for real. How am I supposed to be a fan of you with all that pride?
Speaker 1:Dude can't say nothing.
Speaker 2:He's over there winning finally, I know right, hey, one game at a time, man One or no, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 3:And he's winning with a backup. He's winning with the backup. He's winning with the backup quarterback. It's not even supposed to be his quarterback yep, that's crazy time to trade jj mccarthy I don't think they'll trade him.
Speaker 2:I honestly don't think they'll trade him.
Speaker 3:So well, you're gonna get rid of darnold. Can't pay him, no, no no, they're gonna franchise darnold.
Speaker 2:They're gonna franchise darnold and they'll keep him unless somebody's 60 million I, unless somebody. I think they said 43 is what the quarterback franchise tag is going to be. But the things that I've heard are basically they're going to franchise tag him and if a team pulls up with the fucking draft pick Brink's truck, then they'll be willing to tag.
Speaker 2:and you know, tag and trade him, but otherwise, especially if they tag and trade him, yeah, but otherwise, especially if they I mean if they win, if they, if they even make it to the super bowl I mean that's a given that they're going to give darnold more money or they're going to keep darnold around for at least one more year, because now he's here maybe they have everybody else, that there's four or five guys that they're going to have to try to figure out as far as financials go. But all the guys that they signed in this past offseason which I mean in my opinion and the few people that I read and stuff their opinion like this is like the best free agent class that the Vikings have had ever, and probably I mean there are some people saying it's the best free agent class that happened in the past year in the NFL period, because again, the Vikings were supposed to win six and a half games. Their over-under for wins was six and a half games and they were supposed to be the bottom.
Speaker 3:With McCarthy or with Darnold.
Speaker 2:Period With Darnold. With Darnold, this was like everybody's preseason prediction. The most optimistic people were saying six and a half wins was their over-under.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but in preseason it was supposed to be McCarthy. It wasn't until the week before the season started that they IR'd him. Like all right, that's fine, but I am looking forward to next weekend. So you know, finish up these last spots of who's where I'm sad there's no more fantasy football other than DFS. If I want to do daily, then okay, great, It'll be fantasy sports. For those not knowing what DFS is, so I might jump in some DFS, because it'll happen through the playoffs as well. It'll be kind of cool. And then six months of nothing. I don't give a shit enough about basketball Hockey. I guess I'll pay attention to.
Speaker 1:Yep Hockey and soccer.
Speaker 3:Yep and soccer ends in May. Well, the soccer I watch, because I watch the Premier League in England, Although Chelsea's falling apart. They were in second place for a while. They've lost points three games in a row. It's like, oh, assholes.
Speaker 1:It's all right. The Golden Knights are number one in the league, we one in the league. We're doing good there.
Speaker 3:Are they really? I knew they were number one in the West. I didn't know they were number one in the league. Alright.
Speaker 2:Congratulations.
Speaker 3:I guess we'll stick around with that, dave. But the problem is Colorado keeps winning. I'm not a Colorado hater, the Avalanche as much as I am the other teams, but they're in the West too, so F them. So it's like look.
Speaker 1:Colorado, you can. So it's like look, look, look, Colorado, you can do good until you play Vegas.
Speaker 3:How about? That let's draw the line there, other than I gotta hear the radio Talk about him the whole time.
Speaker 1:These last couple weeks have been great.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying. These last couple weeks have been great Two losses. If I listen to the radio, listen to all the hate, it's so funny listening to these jackasses. It's like, oh, we're 9-5. We have three games to win one. It's like, oh no, we lost this one this week. We have two games to win one, and then they lost this week. It's like, okay, now it's down to this final game. It's like what happened?
Speaker 2:to you. We have one game to win, one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they're all so positive and all of a sudden they're like fucking, fucking, just sucking on their fingers, just nervous as hell. I'm like man, please collapse. You had one game to win over three weeks and y'all fuckers blew it. Oh, I would love to just throw that in. Or, if they do make it, go get their ass handed to them 40 to nothing to Buffalo, because if they make it, that's who they're playing Buffalo in Orchard.
Speaker 1:Park. That would be fun, though they make it to the playoffs and lose first round. First round exits are embarrassing, more embarrassing than not making it.
Speaker 3:Only if they get blown out, because, to be fair, they are the seventh seed playing the two. They're not supposed to win that game, but everybody's supposed to be. Hey, you're professionals, you made the playoffs, you should be close. And then to get your ass handed to you, like when the Chargers got their ass beat in the Super Bowl when they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in 95. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:Luckily I don't hold a grudge, but Well, and the other part of that too is, especially if you get housed, you know in their house and you're out of playoffs. That's the last thing that people are going to remember for the next six months.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then you as a player, have a long flight home. Yeah, even better if they get snowed in. It's a crazy game. They get snowed in, they can't even leave. They're stuck there. Fans just pointing at them and laughing at their faces.
Speaker 2:Fans just pointing at him and laughing at their faces. Lou flies into Buffalo just to point and laugh at him.
Speaker 3:I would too, man, not that I'll count on Southwest to help me out. Hey, we're going to make your flight $500 instead of $700. Screw y'all. But yeah, you know, had the Broncos overachieved this year, absolutely Good job, but they're still not a good team. I don't care, they got lucky. Good job, but they're still not a good team. I don't care, they got lucky.
Speaker 3:They have one win against a team with a winning record. That is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who got caught in the trap games. They just beat Detroit and was about to play Buffalo the following week, or some crap like that, and four of their starters were out that game. So that's the one win the Broncos have over a team with a winning record. So it's like, oh, the Broncos are great, they're 9-0. It's like, yeah, they got lucky and got eight wins against some sorry-ass teams, so don't even give me that. But again, that's Bronco fan. For you, please either make the playoffs and get destroyed or just get embarrassed and not even just choke this final game. But again, for that to happen, I need Miami or Cincinnati to win this week also, and if I were to put money on it, the Broncos are a 10-point favorite in this game because the Chiefs aren't starting anybody. So I looked it up and it was like 9.5 points. I was like man Chiefs, I get it, you earned it, but you're just going to gift your rival a playoff spot.
Speaker 2:I am a bigger fan of starting your starters, but then, once the game's out of hand, then benching them immediately.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but what if the game doesn't get out of hand? What if it's a close game the whole time? Then you're risking the Chiefs players getting hurt. Patrick Mahomes is already coming off a bum ankle. Kelsey's 35 years old Hollywood Brown is the only one who should play because he's missed the first 15 games of the year. So let him play so he can get some reps. But everybody else I can't be mad at that. It's good business, Except for, like I said, now you're two weeks stagnant. So are you going to be rusty when you come back, even though it's a home game in two weeks? Are you going to be rusty?
Speaker 1:So that's a gamble. The refs will work it out for him. It's fine. Yeah, that is true. Whoa, whoa, you looked in the homes. 10-yard penalty.
Speaker 3:Touching the white girl.
Speaker 2:God she sucks so much man, that's funny. But yeah, I guess we'll see.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it'll be fun. All right Enough sports ball. Skeleton crew sucked.
Speaker 2:We're an hour and 10 minutes in and Lou's like I guess we can stop talking about sports now.
Speaker 3:I looked at the clock, that was like a 23-minute conversation on sports ball. I was like Jack's got some editing to do, right, okay, so skeleton crew sucked again. Why, it was a little bit better.
Speaker 2:Is that fanlu? And?
Speaker 3:no, he's only watched it once. Nope, only one. Yeah, I was gonna say only only watched it at once. I think I think fanlu would actually like the episode. Tell you the truth, thinking again, having not watched it, but thinking about it, I'm like it wasn't horrible. However, so much dumb shit. I think this episode's problem, for me anyway, was the similarity to Obi-Wan episode when they snuck out on the hangar with Leia underneath his coat. It was just some. That was just some dumb shit. And Obi-Wan In this one, we're going to have these kids pretend like you can't tell you're going to get better prosthetics, better makeup, better something.
Speaker 3:These people are just supposed to believe. These kids belong, are elders, on this fucking sex planet. Get out of here with the oh, I'm sorry pleasure planet. It wasn't necessarily sex, just a pleasure planet. So you got that. And then they get to the hotel room and act a fool. I mean, they all know what's at risk. They all know what's at risk. They all know what's going on. This isn't like we're brand new into this trick. They know they're at risk and they act a fool in the hotel room, making all types of noise, not listening After. They were just panicky before that of what was going on. It was like what? Oh, okay, we're just going to play this out. And then they skip around. Okay, how did they get out of this scenario? How did they get out of this scenario? They just happened to get out of the scenario and they just show up. Oh, next scene, cut, next scene. Okay, sure, great. And where did the acid go? Acid disappeared, it just automatically came back and filled in the area.
Speaker 1:It obviously goes to different holding chambers, so that it can fill in yeah.
Speaker 3:That's how certain that would work. Is your argument that it would fill in instantly, like that?
Speaker 1:Why not?
Speaker 3:It drained instantly. No, it took a little bit of time. It took a bit to drain.
Speaker 1:But it would also fill from the bottom up, and they were at the bottom, they were at the bottom of the chair.
Speaker 3:That means as soon as it starts, you climb up.
Speaker 1:So it's easier to get out.
Speaker 2:They're freaking out. He's sitting at the door going. Did I do that?
Speaker 3:that would have been hilarious. That would have won me over that episode.
Speaker 3:It's just one line just give me one line and all of a sudden it's episode. Let me go to imdb quick five stars. But then they're in the, they're in the chamber, so I don't touch anything. Blah, blah, freaking blah. So what do they do? Touch everything? Great, now it might have been just because they had quote unquote turned everything off not that they say that they did turn everything off, they could have. And then it's like oh, don't touch the seal, no, we're gonna fall down. This seat's a trap door. So what do they do at the end? Go down it on purpose, yeah then I'm the evil Jedi dick.
Speaker 3:It wasn't a big deal at the end, but it was a big deal five minutes before that.
Speaker 1:Right, because they didn't know where it took them, but going down there was better than dealing with the evil Jedi guy.
Speaker 2:Who now has a lightsaber?
Speaker 3:Yeah, a High Republic lightsaber Right.
Speaker 1:Looked like Duke's lightsaber.
Speaker 3:Dude.
Speaker 2:I was like hey, that looks familiar side note, did you see that uh, disney released, uh, one of the guys from the high republics lightsaber? They've done a couple of them. I saw something on my news feed those saying they were they're releasing another one. It has like a. It almost has like a sif like the, the blades like jack. I think it's similar to the one you made at Disney where the saber comes out the emitter, it has like fins on it. So whichever High Republic guy that is, it looks like they're releasing it. Or girl or girl, yeah.
Speaker 3:So overall, it was just like okay, kids did stupid shit. Again you would think they would know better. Or girl that we couldn't see. Obviously, they didn't show us who he was for a reason. So I'm curious how that's going to play out. I'm like, alright, that's cool. I wonder what's going to happen here. But overall, again, it was just like, okay, more dumb shit that these kids did, and nobody seems to care that they're doing dumb shit. It's like, oh yay, I'm watching Obi-Wan all over again. More dumb shit.
Speaker 3:Although I would argue, obi-wan was more dumb.
Speaker 1:I think I figured out your problem, mu. You were judging these children as an adult. When I watch the show, I watch it based on their perspective. They are children. I've never been a 10-year-old that was kidnapped by a ship and put into pirate places, so I don't know how I would act as a 10-year-old that was kidnapped from my planet. As an adult, you are 100% correct. If these were adults acting like that, I got you, but they're kids, so you have to look at it through their perspective. The story's being told from their point of view. Are they doing dumb shit? Yeah, but they're also kids. When you were 10, you weren't kidnapped from your home planet by some 100-year-old ship with a robot with a rat fur brain. So you don't know what you would do in that situation because you have not been in that situation. But you're a 50-year-old dude judging these kids for being kids in a situation you haven't been in.
Speaker 3:Get off my ship. Yeah, because I know how I was when I was a kid and that shit would have lasted for about one or two episodes. And then you grow up real the fuck fast. And these kids are not maturing. There's what I'm saying. They're in this situation this night. Okay, we need to hey, we don't under. They understand the situation they're in, that. They almost died. Yeah, they understood that shit in the last episode when they were trying to go to battle and all of a sudden they just forgot that part. It's like all the shit we just learned and that we need to quote unquote grow up fast, like any other natural kid would do.
Speaker 1:They're not doing it it's like they're going backwards. It's Las Vegas hotel room. Little kids are going to jump on the bed. Whether they just almost died or not, you would jump on that bed if you're in a big-ass Las Vegas hotel room.
Speaker 3:My dad would beat my ass.
Speaker 1:Your dad's not there. We're talking about a big guy, 50-year-old Lou.
Speaker 3:John should have beat their ass Instead of just time out.
Speaker 1:He's the fun uncle.
Speaker 3:If he beats one of their asses, the other three will straighten up.
Speaker 1:All it takes is one, just knock out one, but he's the fun uncle that's not going to do it.
Speaker 3:But he's not the fun uncle. That's not what he's there for. He's there to use them.
Speaker 1:And that's what he's doing. Why does he care if they're?
Speaker 3:acting up.
Speaker 1:Because he's going to get him caught?
Speaker 3:Yeah, he did. He was the one telling him to calm down Eventually, of course. He cared as soon as he was telling them the plan. They were acting a fool, they weren't listening. He cared as soon as they. It's like yo. I said, shut the fuck up. And then they kept going Boom, go beat one. I guarantee, I'm telling you, they would have been shocked as hell, like, oh, he's serious and they're not.
Speaker 1:And it's like man, no discipline you're putting your personal experiences on this. You need to just watch it in the context of the story, not what you would have done, not what tell me. Tell me what scenario.
Speaker 3:What? What real person would tolerate what is happening? That would not happen in anybody's real world. That's what I'm saying. It would not happen in anybody's real world. That's what I'm saying. It's like this this right here. If that wait, is this some white people? Shit. Is this what white people do without discipline? They don't. They don't spank their kids and this is what we get this is what happens, okay. This shows for white people Okay.
Speaker 2:I can't get 50-year-old Lou hopping out of bed in Vegas and having his dad show up to beat his ass and him going where'd you come from?
Speaker 3:I could totally see that shit happen. I'm like oh, my bad.
Speaker 2:Oh it says, his shoe just flies out of nowhere.
Speaker 3:No, that's mom, that mom showed up. If that happened, or an ashtray, if an ashtray showed up and popped me in the head? Yeah, that totally happened Again in the head.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that totally happened, but it's just again. It's just, these kids aren't improving. It's like I wanted them to grow a little bit and they're not. What bullshit's going to be next episode? Like, oh, we're in danger, but we're not going to act like it, so who cares, nothing's going to happen to us. We're going to go down and hit this chair and go to this no-place land that we were hiding, trying to hide from or try to escape from, not five minutes ago. But hey, let's go down there on purpose now. Oh, great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a getaway from Jah, who's trying to kill you.
Speaker 3:Jah wasn't trying to kill him. He was just trying to make them listen. They don't know that.
Speaker 1:He's being a big creepy-ass dude, so they ran away.
Speaker 3:No, no, if he wouldn't have told the little girl to yield, he would have just killed her. That would have made more sense. I would have been fine with that.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:Then the three of the other three.
Speaker 2:He had to get the captainmanship correctly, or else Smee wouldn't. He did.
Speaker 3:It was he challenged and he told her he's like look, I don't want to hurt you, just yield. And she didn't want to. Dumbass, dumbass, don't know how to use a lightsaber, comes in and tries to save the day, which would be against code, because then he's fighting in a three-way fight and that's not how it works. It should just be those two, the captain and the person. So that's a problem in itself. The robot should have smacked him for trying to cheat, but he didn't kill her. He had every opportunity to like I challenge you.
Speaker 1:He had a knife to her throat.
Speaker 3:And what'd he say? He didn't say. He said yield. He didn't say let's do this slice. That's not what happened. He's like just yield. He's trying to give her a break and they want to be assholes about it.
Speaker 2:Oh, we have a tree. I mean, again, it's the same. It's very similar to the Fratellis and Chunk from the Goonies Like this episode was definitely the most Goonies influenced episode so far, and so I think I think part of the problem is, I mean and we've talked about this in the chat before or during the text messages early is like I think, like when you try to have shows like this that are homages and fan service I'm saying fan service, I'm trying, I can't think of I guess homage would be the best word Homages to the movies from the 80s that we grew up on ET, goonies, home Alone, all of those movies, right man by.
Speaker 3:Me yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the young, teen, kid movies, you know this. I mean that entire episode, the entire last episode of Skeleton Crew was straight Goonies, you know them falling, them doing all the weird stuff, them touching stuff that they shouldn't have done. All that stuff happened in the goonies, right? But the problem is that I think all of that that whole generation of movies now has been, we're all so jaded and cynical now that I don't think those movies could come out and be successful today. But in the 80s, when they came out, it was a different time Again. We were all a different age, et cetera, et cetera. I think, as we've gotten older, a lot of us and I'm the same way Like Lou, I don't disagree with how you were looking at it, but I didn't hate the episode, I didn't dislike the episode.
Speaker 2:I still have problems, like you were saying, with the character arcs and that type of thing. Like I want to see. I want to see somebody grow and I don't feel like we're seeing, besides Neil, because he's the best, none of the rest of them have Wait, hang on. None of the rest of them have really evolved at all, none of them have. You know, and again, I'm not expecting them to have a huge like oh, now I'm a grown-up but yeah, like whim and and fern, and you know, again kb, I don't even don't even know what her character arc is. She hasn't really given us one. You know, she's definitely out of the four of them, or the five of them if you want to count jod, like she is definitely the one that's just kind of like oh, we need somebody to be technical, get her to do the thing, technical thing, and then she just goes back to being in the background yeah, she's their droid of the show.
Speaker 2:Just to have somebody do 100 like because they didn't want to have I'm guessing, because they didn't want anyone to to. Um, uh, they already had smee, so they don't they didn't need, they need a second one yeah, um, so I kind of feel bad for her and her character because again, we don't know anything about her, right, like I kind of feel that that you know. But yeah, I, I don't disagree with you.
Speaker 3:The stuff didn't bother me as much because, again, I was thinking of it in the goonies way when the the show started, and so the stuff didn't bother me near as much as it bothered critic lou, but yeah, it was just, yeah, it was just dumb shit when the pirate showed up and the ships got blown out by the other pirate ship and as they were coming in to try to try to fight the last 10 minutes of the show, nobody, nobody. You didn't have a full-on squad of people waiting to blast them out of the sky themselves as soon as they landed, blast them. It's like they just blew up two ships while coming in without, obviously, permission and y'all just gonna let them just go Like, oh, we're just gonna ignore this, it's fine, no big deal. It's like again, no-transcript going to fill in the pieces for them that's.
Speaker 2:That was some scooby-doo shit where they're just running back and forth in the hallway, but it was just like.
Speaker 3:It's like, oh my god, this is so bad. Um, and it was just again. It could have been written better. It was just dumb shit. It was the first thing I thought of was Obi-Wan. I was like, oh, we're back to Obi-Wan writing, where this dumb shit happened. Because as soon as the kids came off the damn ship, it was like, oh God, leia's going to be underneath the trench coat again. Here we go. And it just played from there.
Speaker 2:I need to go get a trench coat, so Leia will be under my trench coat.
Speaker 1:Whoa, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:Not that Leia's turn.
Speaker 3:She's nine, buddy, she's nine.
Speaker 2:Old Leia Wow.
Speaker 3:Say old Leia is dead, you fucking necrophiliac. What the hell? I've got a corpse underneath my trench coat. It's like. Alright, to each their own. Okay, Bernie, Know what you're doing this weekend.
Speaker 2:So what did you think of it, Jack? I?
Speaker 1:liked it. I can watch stuff without being all critical like that, and that's what I was saying earlier. I'm not even going to argue it. I just watch it. I enjoy it. I don't put my own feelings on that shit. Sure, the kids could get yelled at. That's not what Jod's there to do. He doesn't care. So I don't care. As long as it's entertaining, I'm fine. I'm like oh well, if I was in this situation hypothetically.
Speaker 3:You didn't think that shit was stupid, that happened. You didn't think any of that shit was dumb and stuff the ship take the end, the pirate ship getting blown up. They're just like, oh hey, land, it's okay the escort trips you mean yeah, yeah. When the escort ships got blew up and they were just like, hey, no big deal, I honestly was, I'm like. When I saw that, I was like, oh damn, they're gonna have a whole arsenal waiting for them when they land. Nope, it was just like oh hey, welcome guys.
Speaker 1:Maybe they're just cocky and they're like no, people don't do that shit here and they don't have a bigger security force than those two little escort ships.
Speaker 3:Then they should have explained that If that was the case, all it takes. What one line the lady I think it was a lady who was running the thing all it would have taken was like, hey, like something where to just let them do their thing, we their thing, we don't have the support, but they had the support and security to chase them down. They had 50 people chasing the kids.
Speaker 2:They got zero people.
Speaker 3:Fine, then the ground crew could have all been surrounding the ship.
Speaker 1:It could, but see, you're overthinking it. It's Star Wars. You're overthinking Star Wars. How is?
Speaker 3:that overthinking, that's just common sense?
Speaker 1:No, it's not. It had nothing to do with the story. They just want to get the pirates down there to chase the kids.
Speaker 3:Then write it better. That's my point. That's how bad the writing is. Oh, we just don't care. We're just going to put these people here and you're going to consume. This doesn't have to make sense, because we think our audience are idiots and they're just going to accept it and that's all there is to it. It's a good show because we put them there. That's disrespectful to the intelligence of the audience, as long as it's entertaining, I don't care.
Speaker 1:Fair enough.
Speaker 3:Fair enough. Fair enough, I can't sit there and overthink stuff.
Speaker 1:Just sit there and watch. If it is actually horrible, I would say so but I don't think it's actually horrible.
Speaker 2:I think we all agreed that the Acolyte writing was not great, agreed.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's fine. Acolyte was bad. It was very poorly written. This it's a lot better than Acolyte, just because it's not trying to be smarter than we are. The Acolyte came out acting like they were smarter than the audience. You know we got this murder mystery and all this stuff's going on, and here's a flashback. Oh, this guy's not as bad as you think he is. He's not as good as you think he is. This show is straightforward. They're not trying to trick us. They're not trying to be smarter than we are. It's just. Hey, here are these kids, they're on an adventure.
Speaker 3:Go with it it. I think that's part of my problem. I expect better writing right, and I think I only expect better writing because previous writing of the shows acolyte, obi-wan were horrible. So I was like, oh, they'll fix it. They know, with the feedback they got, they know it sucked. They know all this, they're gonna better and it's like.
Speaker 1:But you know, there's only like one well-written Star Wars movie, two maybe Empire and Rogue. One.
Speaker 3:I was just going to say don't forget Rogue One.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there are only two well-written Star Wars movies. The rest of them have the exact same problems that you have with Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 3:Yeah, bunch of dumb shit.
Speaker 2:Exactly, you guys watch what?
Speaker 3:episode. No, I'm waiting for it to finish. Is it finished?
Speaker 2:tomorrow. It's done.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's today, it finished this morning, yesterday, oh, then I'll probably when I get up tomorrow morning, I'll probably because, I don't start my day in for like one, so I liked it.
Speaker 1:I mean, it was kind of cool to see a Moon Knight mech. That was kind of cool. Yeah, they even brought him back, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah they had a lot of Oscar Isaac's voice. Yeah, yeah, it was him.
Speaker 3:Okay, right on, right on.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, there's a whole Mecha Avengers thing fighting some creepy Hulk variants. It was pretty cool.
Speaker 3:Dude, wait, you've only seen one, but Duke have seen one. But duke, have you seen it all? Do they do, without spoiling it too much to do? They at least do, like last time, with episodes like one through seven, culminate in eight, which is all individuals this time um, there's, there is a through line, but it's not driving the episodes.
Speaker 2:So the episodes are our stand for the most part are standalone in this season, which, again, I'm fine with. I don't need to have that honestly, I don't, I don't need, yeah, the last, I think it's the last two episodes are together and that's just wrapping up the what if the whole saga, the whole, all three seasons, this is it for what? Yeah, this is it for now.
Speaker 1:Right, at least this, this version of it right right so we have marvel zombies is coming out, and then that spider-man cartoon is just a extended. What if?
Speaker 3:yeah, that's not okay, that explains more. That's butterman cartoon trailer. Look garbage. Fucking black harry osborn, black norman osborn and harry is trans. Now what it's like. What the hell man? That trailer looked garbage.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's not canon.
Speaker 1:I think I read it it was supposed to be originally, but then they were like meh, that's what I thought too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, In that case, that's fine. In that case you can have your trans Harry and black Norman. Okay, fine, Nothing wrong with that?
Speaker 1:Did you get mad when they made Nick Fury black?
Speaker 3:No, because he was in the comics. No, he wasn't. Yes, he was.
Speaker 2:Not in the.
Speaker 3:Ultimates yeah, one Nick Fury was, but newer ones, he was a black guy, okay.
Speaker 2:The Ultimates.
Speaker 3:so no, I'd have been fine either way If they had made him white or black. I'd have been like, okay, well, that's in there in the comics.
Speaker 2:But if he was white he had to be David Hasselhoff. That's the problem.
Speaker 3:I mean yeah, I mean everybody knows that. Oh man, that would have been cool to see fucking Civil War, not Civil War, winter Soldier, and he called his jeep kit or something, hasselhoff. I mean, legally I'm sure they'd have to come up with something or buy the rights, but just for the end joke would be so much fun.
Speaker 2:I'm sure Disney knows it by now, and to hear David Hasselhoff when he's clicking on Captain Marvel's beeper right before he blips going Motherfu-.
Speaker 3:David Hasselhoff doing that holy crap Right? That would be great.
Speaker 2:Update on trailers our trailer series. I did watch Werewolves yesterday with my friend after the game. Wait, that's out, it's, yeah, it's out, and digital. Don't, don't, no, just don't. Wow, all right, yep, lou, you will watch that and then you will. You know what, lou? Go ahead and watch it, because then you'll go like that's a day of shame, so like, and again, I hashtag spoilers.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna just I'm doing this to warn you guys like for an example of like kind of how bad the movie was. So the whole premise of the movie is that at some point in the now time, right like this isn't like something in the future of the past, like it's kind of it's set modern times there is a supermoon and a million people or billion people in the world become werewolves, and then the supermoon passes. All the people go back to being normal. A year goes by. The following year there's another supermoon coming. So they've had a year to kind of prepare for the next, the next trailer said okay so they have so.
Speaker 2:So they have these people in cages that are test subjects for this thing that they're trying to see if it will help prevent people from turning into werewolves and lou diamond phillips LaBomba's in it. He's running this government agency that is doing this testing and figuring out what they're doing.
Speaker 3:He was a wolf in some TV show.
Speaker 2:So he's in the show. He gives one speech. There's no background To anybody. Frank Grillo is Like the person in charge of defense, but then he's also like a molecular biologist, and I'm like well, you know?
Speaker 1:no, he's not I guess, frank being that, I got I was like no, he is, no, he is not I'm like, really like that's how you introduce him, okay, so, so.
Speaker 2:So then of course, the the people are exposed. The thing that they try doesn't work. They end up all becoming werewolves. And somebody hits the wrong button and it swings the thing around and blows up the breaker and of course, then all the doors unlock and the people come out and are werewolves.
Speaker 3:Now this is before the moon has happened no, the moon did happen, so the people became werewolves.
Speaker 2:they're the people, the people in the test subjects have become werewolves and they're killing everybody. Lou Diamond Phillips is in this, like you know, the lab above the lab, right the observation area. He runs down and puts on this you know bunny suit that the rest of the people are wearing and goes into the lab. The lab which again don't understand when you're like the, the leader of this group gets gets cut and knocked over, faces the moon. They don't ever really explain if it's like a walking dead situation where everybody is infected. But you can only become a werewolf if you look up and see the moon. As long as I'm looking at you guys, and we could be out in the moon, we could, could be under the moonlight and it's fine as long as we're not looking at the moon. So at some point Lou Diamond Phillips, within the first 20 minutes of the movie, gets knocked down and cut, looks up, sees the moon, because of course the moon's still out and you know, whatever. Right.
Speaker 1:And then he becomes a werewolf.
Speaker 2:And then we never hear from him again, like he is just gone. He's a werewolf. None of the werewolves have any distinctive features, so it's not like you can say, oh, that's the labamba werewolf or whatever. He becomes a werewolf and then that's it. He is just out of the movie, he is gone. And I'm just like wait, fucking labamba, what the fuck like? It's just like so weird and so like frank grillo and this lady scientist who's like the lead scientist for all this stuff are the only ones to escape the lab. Right, everybody else dies.
Speaker 2:The other part that just was another example of just befuddling things that you're just like wait, I don't understand this. They're sneaking through town to make it back to his brother's wife. You know, his brother died the previous year because of Supermoon, blah, blah, blah. So they're trying to make their way through town. They get to this point where they run into this like military group who of course gets immediately slaughtered by werewolves. And she does this thing to distract them so they can get in the, so they can get in a truck and escape. They do it. He gets in the truck, she runs up to the truck, opens the door, smiles and says yeah, like thumbs up. And then all of a sudden you see this werewolf hand come down, grab her, pull her up and then she's gone. No blood, no nothing. She just straight disappears and he like sits in the truck for a minute with his head on the steering wheel and then he starts, the car, drives away. She's never mentioned again what the fuck?
Speaker 3:maybe they edited it and cut some shit out that they need to put. No, I think it was.
Speaker 2:It was written terribly like I don't think the edit had anything to do with it, just because, like the way these characters are, you have no idea. Again, none of the werewolves have any distinctive features except for the big bad one, right. And so you make like, okay, we made Lou Diamond Phillips a werewolf. Well, I want that to have something. So then if I see him later in the movie, I'm like I reckon it's full circle, right. But instead he just disappears, never heard from again, and then Well, that'll be part two, yeah, when the moon goes away.
Speaker 2:And now he's back to yeah, and and some of the effects were good, like the werewolf effects were pretty good the transfer, the transformation. You could tell that there was a lot of cgi, but I mean it was fine and there's a couple good kills. The movie's an r rating but I didn't really see like I'm expecting with a where with a movie called werewolves that has an r rating, I'm expecting entrails, I'm expecting people getting their heads ripped off like I I want to see. Fucking you need to earn that r right, if you're going to call yourself werewolves, you got to fucking earn that shit. You can't just be like hard r, yeah, hard r, thank you like, and you can right like you're like you. You've given yourself this, like this premise that you're like oh, werewolves, anybody can be a werewolf and they will just fuck you up and like. That never really happens and I'm like they say fuck a couple times. So I'm guessing that's probably why it's an R.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we only had one, I think, so you got that second one in there.
Speaker 2:Yeah so but I I was at the end of it, me and me and my friend just looked at each other like what the fuck did? We just watch, like, and it's been a while since I felt that way about a movie, because usually movies I'll give a little bit of grace to, but and then the person whoever directed it or was a cinematographer, like he wanted, like jj abrams, to come skull, fuck him or something, because, like every single light had a lens flare and every like it was, the lens flare was so awful. There was actually times when when people would be having conversations and I distinctly remember them having one conversation and every time they cut to one of the people, the lens flare was like cutting through his eye, to where you couldn't really even see the character when he's having the conversation. And I'm like, is this my did? Is my projector broken? What the fuck is happening right now? And I'm like, no, that's just how they shot it.
Speaker 1:Like but like that's a title of one of the reviews on IMDb that gave it two stars lens flare and epilepsy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and there was so many broken lights that weren't broken. They would just like blink, blink, blink, blink, and you're like no, we don't. And then smoke. It would be blinking lights with smoke. There's another one.
Speaker 1:Three stars Way too many flashing lights. Interesting it has a 4.6 out of 10 on IMDb.
Speaker 2:This didn't make it for the theater did it. Yeah, I think it was released in the theater, but I think it was a really small window.
Speaker 3:Oh, I remember making the theater. Okay, I just looked it up on IMDb and saw that it's on Prime for $20.
Speaker 1:I would not spend $20 on it. 10 out of 10 for meeting expectations though 10 out of 10 for meeting expectations.
Speaker 2:That's what this guy says.
Speaker 1:It's the exact kind of dumb movie I needed to see right now and, going with those expectations, this movie delivers.
Speaker 3:This is somebody who likes Skeleton Crew Got it.
Speaker 1:They gave it a 6 out of 10. Wait, they liked it.
Speaker 2:I like this movie. It's exactly what I need they got a 6?.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he gave it a 6 out of 10, but titled his review 10 out of 10 for median expectations. Oh my god, the Purge meets.
Speaker 3:Werewolves.
Speaker 1:One of the worst movies I've ever watched the Purge meets Werewolves. I kind of like that description. 3 out of 10 for Frank, 2 out of 10 for Katrin 1.5 out of 10 for the movie.
Speaker 2:I don't understand how it has.
Speaker 3:I'm going to watch that shit just for the. I don't understand how it has I'm going to watch that shit just for the. I don't know. I want to see the train wreck now. I'm not paying for it, not directly.
Speaker 1:Too bad, it's him, frank Grillo, and his boring face.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you don't like Frank Grillo, you're.
Speaker 3:I like this Groundhog Day movie.
Speaker 1:Which one?
Speaker 3:We watched a couple movies, I can't remember what it's called, but he kept dying and repeating to his wife's office or something. What the hell is that movie? It came out like two years ago, three years ago.
Speaker 1:We watched the shit One Love the Bob Marley movie. It was okay, it was a PG-13, even though they smoked pot the whole time. I was kind of hoping that there was more drama in his life, but there really wasn't like for being like revolutionary and stuff. I thought there'd be more drama, but what do I know? And then, oh, we watched that mcavoy movie. Speak no evil, that one was pretty good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I added that to my list last week that was pretty good.
Speaker 1:It didn't. It was like a big build up to like the breaking point where they're like no, you know what, mcavoy, you guys are fucking creeps we're out. And then, like, all the action started. But it was entertaining enough. I wouldn't say don't watch it. It was entertaining and watching mcavoy be weird and creepy always a good time that's fair, he.
Speaker 3:The trailers made him look creepy enough that I was like, man, I want to watch this. Just from that alone. Hey, my battery saver is on.
Speaker 1:Well, we're also at an hour 42, so oh yeah, we are Until editing happens.
Speaker 2:The fake lens flare filter was distracting. It had the worst regard of ammo amount I have ever seen in a movie Worst regard of ammo Wow. That's true. There was times when they had like machine guns and they were just like and never reloaded once, and you're just like wait a second. Wait a second.
Speaker 3:You just didn't see him reload. It happened off screen.
Speaker 2:There you go when it cut away.
Speaker 3:Yeah, then they reloaded and they grabbed back to it. Then they hit a trap door that they were trying to avoid and they went down there on purpose. But I don't know. I guess, like I said, I'll probably watch. I'll probably watch. Oh, I'll lose them probably, or do you want to take it? So I'm watching Nosferatu tomorrow and then I was going to watch Heretic too, but I heard not so many. It's like a mixed review. I had one group say, oh my god, the movie's really good, and recently another group's like, oh, it's not all right.
Speaker 1:It's on streaming, so whatever Well that's the thing, right. It's like well, at this point You're not worth the money at this point Right.
Speaker 3:So it's like okay, whatever, give me something to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not going to watch anything until next calendar starts For them platinum points.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, at this point, a couple days away, there's no way for that. But I have nothing to do tomorrow, so Probably go watch Mufasa.
Speaker 1:I read their review.
Speaker 3:It said it's better than you think it's supposed to be. I hope so because I have no expectations in the positive side for that movie.
Speaker 1:It's the number one movie in the world, sir.
Speaker 3:That is true, though, Even though Sonic isn't Sonic in the United States. But hey, whatever.
Speaker 1:Sonic doesn't even come out worldwide until like the 15th or something.
Speaker 2:They just wanted to get it in for Oscar consideration in the US.
Speaker 3:I just thought the movie was okay. The 15th or something, they just wanted to get it in for Oscar consideration in the US Wouldn't be surprised. I just thought the movie was okay. I mean, if you're a Sonic, fan, you'll probably like it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like the last two movies. I thought it was fine.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, I definitely like the last two movies. I just mean I can't say stand alone, because you need the other two movies to watch this one, but it was at least the last movie and it was just like all right.
Speaker 1:I mean, nothing too crazy happened no, I mean it's more of the shadow yeah, shadow was about how shadow is supposed to be.
Speaker 3:The the, the stuff at the end with metallic sonic and amy, okay, great we'll see.
Speaker 1:Maybe they can make the fourth one without jim carrey and do something new yeah, that I don't.
Speaker 3:I mean, obviously the fourth one's in the works, but I don't know. I mean, how can you do that, though, if you have the Metallic Sonic?
Speaker 1:thing we don't know who made them.
Speaker 3:Well, didn't Robotnik make them the first time?
Speaker 1:Maybe, so that's why I was all like well, if Shadow can survive, so can Robotnik.
Speaker 3:Well, then again, shadow's got so much chaos, energy and he's going on and he had the crystal power for a little bit out of there. So it's like, eh, whatever. But again, I didn't mind that. I'd rather watch that again before an episode of Skeleton Crews.
Speaker 2:But we need FanLoo to watch Skeleton Crew. Damn it, Do what. We need FanLoo to watch Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we do. Like I said, said I think as a fan, the last episode wouldn't have bothered me as much as a critic. Watching stupid shit, it was just like what the fuck? But just watching it play out, like I said, thinking about it, alright, I was like thinking about it, it's not too terrible, it's just. I gotta just not think about it. Which is sad the fact that to enjoy it you have to not think about it but it's Star Wars.
Speaker 1:You can't think about anything in Star Wars. Yeah.
Speaker 3:You can't think about anything in Star Wars?
Speaker 1:Yeah, unfortunately, that's starting to be the case. It's how it's always been, always will be.
Speaker 3:I was going to say but it doesn't have to be that way it doesn't, but that's how George Lucas set it up. George Lucas don't even own it anymore and he hasn't for a dozen years. Get somebody else to do it. Oh wait, I was like no, we got somebody and she's fucked it up like there's no tomorrow, so we can't put a chick in it and make it gay. Okay, yay, that works. Yeah, there are the moms.
Speaker 1:Maybe they're not gay, maybe they're like the witches in Acolyte.
Speaker 3:That's not helpful.
Speaker 1:That's not helpful. You're not gay, if that's all you know.
Speaker 3:I don't know if that's how the definition works.
Speaker 1:Can you be attracted to the opposite sex if?
Speaker 3:you've never seen the opposite sex. This is one of these things. Jack supports men and women sports.
