The new NFL season has kicked off, and with it comes that unique phenomenon exclusive to football fandom—the unshakable belief that "this is our year." Our hosts dive deep into why NFL fans maintain irrational optimism unlike followers of any other sport, exploring how the condensed 17-game schedule creates unmatched intensity and emotional investment with each win or loss carrying massive playoff implications.
Fresh off Week One action, we break down surprising performances and early disappointments, from Detroit's concerning defensive weaknesses to Denver barely squeaking past Tennessee despite preseason hype. We examine how quickly perceptions shift in football, with the quarter-season mark typically resetting expectations for most fan bases as reality sets in. The conversation explores the peculiar scheduling quirks of the NFL and how the league could better serve viewers by spreading games more evenly throughout Sundays.
Beyond football, we share recommendations for must-watch streaming content including The Good Place, Alien Earth, and Twisted Metal, plus highlights from Portland Comic Con featuring collectible Roosevelt's shirts and artist encounters. We also explore upcoming Marvel and Star Wars release schedules, with particular excitement for Visions Season 3 arriving October 29th.
Whether you're riding high after your team's victory or already recalibrating expectations after a disappointing opener, join us for this passionate celebration of football culture and the rollercoaster of emotions that defines being an NFL fan.

NFL Week One Kickoff Discussion
Speaker 1why would you play six leagues, that's how much do you what?
Speaker 2up that you can play six fantasy leagues we gave, we gave everybody a week off so they could get ready for their drafts and get ready for the season.
Speaker 4Hello, hello, hello bro jack and du Duke rocking the fucking mics.
Speaker 2Let's fucking go.
Speaker 4Hello boys, what up? What up you ready for tomorrow? You ready to watch your opening game? Watch your team play 100%.
Speaker 2dude, let's fucking go. I'm ready to see JD McCarthy fucking walk out there and fucking stop a mud hole in some fucking bear's ass, dumb bears.
Speaker 4You know the bears are going to win.
Speaker 2I fucking bears ass the bears. Do you know the bears are gonna win. I mean it'll be fucking close, because it always is fucking close.
Speaker 4It's fucking disgusting. It's my problem. My problem with it, let's jump right into it. My problem with with the minnesota vikings is jj mccarthy. That's it. If not for jj mccarthy, if you, if you still had sam darnold, you'd win by 30 dude sam darnold's the reason the fucking seahawks lost today.
Speaker 2Let's be clear about that. Fucking throwing up that duck for an interception.
Speaker 4I'm going to say, mr, is the reason why the Seahawks lost today? Because they're about to go? They're about to go.
Speaker 2No Bosa's on the fucking bills. Dude Nick, not.
Speaker 4Joey.
Speaker 2Oh sorry, I got the fucking bills, dude nick not joey.
Speaker 4Oh sorry, I got confused between the racist and non-racist one, sorry one's racist. Which one is the racist one? The 49ers?
Speaker 1well, I could be a 49ers fan, dude I was gonna say lose my lose, looking in new jersey right now all right, let me go.
Speaker 2yeah, nflshopcom, no, no dude, don't fucking spend full price for that. I'll give you some links.
Speaker 4Oh hell no.
Speaker 2I'll give you some links for the $25 jerseys. That's what I'll talk about.
Speaker 4I'm getting my jersey from Timu.
Speaker 1Let me get a new jersey 100%.
Speaker 4Seriously, who pays full price for an NFL jersey? My two Steelers jerseys. One of them is the Heinz Ward Super Bowl jersey that definitely came from China, so I was like I am not paying $175. You know who?
Speaker 1paid that money for that. The dude's still rocking fucking Ruggs jerseys. They're like no, I paid full price for this shit and I'm still rocking.
Speaker 4That's fair, that is very fair.
Speaker 2The guy from the Rays Wander Franco, the one that was like the fucking child molester, like convicted child molester and people are like. Wander Franco, and you're like what? No, and they're like well. I paid $129 for this jersey, so I'm fucking wearing it until the season starts, I'm wearing it.
Speaker 4Damn right, man, if I had a rugs jersey, I'd keep that shit. I'd wear that shit. I work at a carpet factory or a carpet factory or a wig factory. That's what the rug stands for. Look at this shit, rug Right, this ain't even real. Look at that. That is not real. That moves.
Speaker 2Oh, my god Putting a merkin on your fucking head. Merkin.
Speaker 4It's just advertising, man, it's just business. Don't mind the jersey, it's just business. Oh my God, so week one almost done, man.
Speaker 2Like I was saying, dude, nfl is the only league where every single team, every fan of that team, fucking has hope every year, like MLB, nhl, NBA, when your fucking fucking team sucks like you fucking know it. But there's not many. The majority of the people that I interact with when it comes to the nfl every year is like their fucking year, right like I'm just saying the raiders are undefeated this year.
Speaker 1I'm just saying we got us a quarterback.
Speaker 4It's on giants in line for the number one pick you know, already already going for that number one pick, oh my god, you know what, though? You're right though majority, a majority of fans, I mean, they're it's short for fanatics for a reason, so I'll give them that. But the smart football fans, they know better. No, I saw I. No, I saw Pittsburgh's game today.
Speaker 3Let me finish.
Speaker 4Hang on, hang on, hang on, just because I'm on this thought I'm on this game because I have red zone on one screen. I've got the Steelers game by itself on a separate screen and I'm watching them play and I'm like, okay, they're a 9-8, typical Steelers, 9-8, 10-17. They cannot stop the run and their defense is good enough to keep them in a lot of games. Their offense is getting better. They can't run the ball with the shit. So as a Steelers fan, I'm like, oh yeah, blah, blah, blah. Then, as a football fan, I'm like they'll be the 7 or 6 seed in the wild card. I'm not saying it's realistic.
Speaker 2I'm not saying it's realistic, I'm just saying every year you go into it like if you're a Dolphins fan man, you are going to have a long fucking season as a Dolphins fan. But I guarantee you, a week ago, if you would have talked to any Dolphins fans, they would have been like Super Bowl, let's go. You know, and now you go.
Speaker 4Okay, bortles, yeah, no shit.
Speaker 2And I'm not saying again there's the logic, right, there's the logic, and then there's the passion. I don't feel like there's as much in general passion, maybe because, like, the MLB season is so long, like, and so much can happen, and even the NHL season, to one degree or another, is really long.
Speaker 1Like it looks like 80 games.
Speaker 4No same as as nba three of them, they both, they both play 82 games.
Speaker 2But but that's the thing, though. Like you can play 82 games and you can lose four or five games in a row and it won't. You know, if you're, if you're able to turn it around, you can end up going on a four or five game winning streak, right, where in the whole it doesn't, won't necessarily. You're not going to at the end of a hockey season, you're not going to go, man. You remember when those guys lost six in a row? If they win the Stanley cup, right, but if you're in the NFL and you lose six in a row, you're fucking cooked right.
Speaker 4Like you got to end up then you got to go on a streak of winning like well, yeah that's a bad example.
Speaker 1Though, that's a bad example you have to.
Speaker 4You have to pick a percentage based off the number of games. I knew it was going to go six in a row. Six in a row in hockey is equivalent to like maybe two in a row in the nfl. That I mean they play five five, if that means one, because they play five. They play five times right, that's my point, that's my back to back losses doesn't back that the cowboys lost back to back in in 95 and won the super bowl they opened the season oh, and two but that's the thing though.
Speaker 2They turned because, uh, jerry jones didn't want to pay. Uh, emma smith but if you start out oh and two, you can still solid your season. I'm talking about like streaks, right, like a six game losing streak in the nfl. The same thing in like nba terms or nhl terms or baseball terms is it nba terms would be a 30 game streak but it isn't going to determine your season. Right like you could still make the playoffs. Right like if you lose six in the Disagree.
Speaker 4Okay, no, no again, only in comparison. If it was six, then you're fine. In the NBA MLB the Dodgers one of the worst teams after the off-ball break and they'll still be a playoff team. But if you're doing a comparison now, if you're saying, if you lose six in a row in the NFL, okay great. Now compare that to hockey or basketball. You lose 30 in a row. Well, if you lost 30 in a row in one of those teams, it's the same as losing six in a row in the NFL.
Speaker 2You can't go six in the NFL. I just meant. Well, I was just saying the numbers, right?
Speaker 4So if you lose six in a row in any other league.
Speaker 2it doesn't ruin your season If you lose six in a row in the NFL.
Speaker 4Only because it's so different though it's so hard to make that comparison. If you're going to make the comparison, do it with six to 30, because that's a real how about?
Speaker 1those aces, though, switching year 14 in a row 14. They were going to get nowhere this year.
Speaker 4I thought they were going to be drafting top pick. That would be like seven.
Speaker 2That would be like 72 NFL games, and they would have won like five, five Lombardis by now.
Speaker 4It would have been three, three, cause they play three times. You know as many. You know, do the math.
Speaker 1And WNBA plays 44 games, but I feel like the passion always seems to be way in my, in the people that I interact with Right be higher than the nfl than any other, I think, because it is a shorter season, so you pack it into a smaller package there.
Speaker 2Thank you, jack. Thank you, that's what I'm saying. Like the the wins and losses in the nfl compared to. I'll rephrase the wins and losses in the NFL compared to. I'll rephrase the wins and losses in the NFL compared to the other major leagues. Major sports are way more impactful in the short term than it is in those other leagues, right?
Speaker 4Oh, I'll agree with that Okay, Fucking Lou.
Speaker 2Oh well, why didn't you just fucking?
Speaker 4say that five minutes ago. Dude, you just said that five. We need material for the pod, so good job, that's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 2We need material for the AI to go. Nope boring.
NFL Fan Passion vs Other Sports
Speaker 4I think you're right, though in general, the passion for football, I think, think, is different for the other sports, because the longer season, uh, but after I don't know a quarter, I don't care what sport it is. After a quarter of the season, then those passionate fans become realists. Um, they instantly, I think about it. By the end of this month, all the teams would have played just about four games. I don't know when the cutoff is. I know I know by start week five. So let's just say we know for certain everybody's going to play four games before they have a bye. So after four games, your expectations are going to change. You, being you as a, as a, as a team fan, a football fan, you're different. A football fan is different than a team fan. Like, although I I root for the giants and the steelers, I'm a football fan first and I saw bad football today. Uh, people, girls ask me about it, you do it all type that. Just just think about the friday's game. Right, the homes look like crap, the chiefs look like crap. They're not gonna look like crap by a week. Dude, it dislocated his shoulder. He's going to play with a sling next week, although I think that was the receiver's fault. The only reason why I say and I had this conversation with a little girl as well I think that was the receiver's fault, because Kelty didn't come out and accept responsibility, for if he was in the wrong spot he would have said oh man, that's tough, that's my bad, but I believe he I believe uh, hollywood brown or xavier worthy rather was in the wrong spot and he ran. When he ran into kelsey and dislocated his own shoulder, that shit's on him. But you know, whatever, that's how it goes.
Speaker 4But either way, after four games and we get to October, we're going to know like who mostly 80 percent of who the real contenders are. There's going to be some fit. There's going to be the other 20 percent probably going to be the. We're not quite sure they haven't played anybody or they're getting this person back. I'll tell you, a great example is going to be Duke's Minnesota Vikings. Jordan Addison, their number two receiver, is going to miss the first three games. He doesn't come back until week four. This is going to take a while to get into the groove of everything. We may not know what Minnesota really is until Jordan Addison comes back. So it's hard to say that Minnesota is one in three, or one in two, and he's coming back for game four. Uh, here we go now. Or they could already be three, and oh, I mean it's like, oh my god, we're three.
Speaker 2No, we're gonna be better now, and four and five are international games, so like you got the travel oh yeah, back to back international games I think so. I think they're doing london, and then, uh, let me double check Ireland.
Speaker 4First they got Ireland Week four Against Pittsburgh, right, and then I think they have their bye.
Speaker 2They have like a super early bye this year and then I hate week five byes. And then they have another one, they have a.
Speaker 4London game and an Ireland game. Wow 928 at Pittsburgh, but it's not at Pittsburgh, but it's in Dublin and then I think they're playing the Browns in London on 10-5.
Speaker 2Oh shit.
Speaker 4So okay, so they're probably just going to stay in, yeah, and then they have a week six bye which sucks.
Speaker 2Week six bye is the fucking worst. No week five bye is worse, that's fair Okay. Week six buy is second worst.
Speaker 4Yeah, you know what I still don't.
Speaker 1And eight, and so on.
Speaker 4You know what, though? I don't understand why they don't just do weeks 10, 11, 12, 13, and just do eight teams in week 10, eight teams week 11. Just put them all in the middle so it's a little more fair. If somebody has a week five bye and somebody else to have a week 14 bye because that's the last week of byes, to me that is stupid. Yeah, the other thing that's stupid is the NFL schedule. How do you have, like, granted, we just had Thursday, friday, whatever.
Speaker 4Now that we're in the regular thing, we're going to have thursday night game or thursday game, a monday game and then a sunday night game. So take away three of the 16 games. You have 13 games left. You know what they're gonna do, right, they're gonna give us 10 morning games and then three afternoon games, or nine morning games and four afternoon games. Can somebody explain to me why it's not seven and six?
Speaker 4It's just the dumbest thing. I mean I, I get it. I mean I'm just, I'm speaking, I'm obviously hyperbolic here. I get it because that whole game of the week thing, they want the afternoon game to have more eyeballs because they pay more for that game and it's all about the ad dollars and stuff like that. I get that part, but that is if you're supposed to be doing this for your fans. No, I want to see seven red games in the morning, seven red zone games in the morning and six red zone games the afternoon. So when we do get to those weeks that have three or four afternoon games and all three games are at halftime, it's like OK, now what you make me clean.
Speaker 2I don't want to hear some highlights from the morning's games.
Speaker 4Exactly, dude. I was on your channel. I saw them all already. No, you're gonna make me clean my goddamn air fryer instead right, dust that table I finally saw again right there. Well, yeah, it's like hey there it is, I can see it still um, but yeah, uh, overall, what do you? What do you guys thought? I mean, I know your team didn't play yet Duke, but overall, I mean, jack, your Raiders won, my Steelers won, my Giants lost.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4What do you guys got on first thoughts over reaction Sunday night I was just happy we had a quarterback and we threw the ball for once. Geno did throw for over 350 his first time in five years, so that was pretty impressive, and he actually threw it to no names. I know Toby Myers is a dude, but he's only playing for $12 million this year, is he your?
Speaker 2guy's highest profile receiver Jack is Myers, your guy's highest profile receiver Jack Besch. Jack is Myers, your guys' highest profile receiver.
Speaker 4Receiver yes, yeah, jacoby Myers. Number one. Obviously, brock Bowers on the tight end side, but the second receiver he's actually. Is it Trey Tucker? Yes, but he's again named. He's been around in the league in a while, but I wouldn't be surprised I don't know, man the Raiders, if they can trade for themselves Number two or real number one, because I still don't trust Jacoby Myers yet. This actually Is going to be alright. And, like I said, aston Gentry overrated 19 carries, 38 yards, put him against real defenses and and he can't do shit. What?
Speaker 1did I say the grass was?
Speaker 4wet. Oh yes, yes, you're right, the grass was wet.
Speaker 2The grass was wet hey. Luckily it doesn't do that there's no weather in the NFL the sky is blue, the sun is warm, all things we all knew before this, all things lou knew before today yeah, genti can't run against real defenses.
Speaker 4All things we knew before today, you're absolutely right everyone's like oh, you should take genti with this pick. I'm like just just wait, you guys are gonna, your guys are gonna, you'll hear me out. He cannot run um.
Speaker 2I think I two yards of carry. I think the the Lions got exposed today. I think by losing both of their coordinators, they're definitely going to come down to the mean.
Speaker 4Sort of.
Speaker 2But again, I honestly think a ton of the stuff that the Lions had going for it were all the trick plays and all the like, the like, uh, complications in the playbook, right, like watching watching quarterback, which was about last season, and hearing them talk about, like the offensive coordinator, defense coordinator, all these kind of things, like losing both of them and having to bring people up who maybe didn't have.
Speaker 2I think those types, I mean those things are lightning in a bottle. I feel like when you have a offensive or defensive or you can get both that you have like a, like they're in sync with each other, like that's a very special time and if you don't take advantage of that time and it goes away which it did this year, since both of them are now head coaches, so good for them then you bring people up who aren't in sync, right, because again, I think it's a special, you've got to have a special mindset to be an offensive coordinator or a defensive coordinator. This isn't just like me or you or Jack can just go and be like, oh, I'm an offensive coordinator, like there's got to be I do, all right in Madden, all right, so whatever, but you know what I'm saying. So I think that they're definitely going to come back to the mean to one degree or another, because they don't have that.
Speaker 4Okay, I think they kind of will, but not because of the coordinators. I mean, they lost a couple people from their offensive line Of course, the coordinators I mean they lost a couple people from their uh, uh, offensive line.
Speaker 4Of course, to me, that was the bigger issue. I mean, they couldn't block anything. Um, their defense did not look good at all, and that's a player issue. You don't have the players anymore that you had last year. You lost a couple players there as well. To me, that's where the issue is. I mean defensive coordinator, if you, if those two coordinators were still there, they still would have got beat the way they did today, because they don't have the players anymore. Do they have the sun god? Yes. Do they have laporta? Yes. Do they have jameer gibbs? Yes, okay, great, they gave jameson williams a bunch of money. But they remind me of the broncos from like five years ago, when they have oh, we have all these players. You. You don't have a line If, if the quarterback is is rushing after the as soon as he takes the snap, if it's going to be like that all year, what you saw today is what you're going to see all year.
Speaker 2I mean, that's what that's the Bengals of the last five years. They've given, they've given two thirds. They payroll to three players, not to say those players don't deserve that money. But when you're doing that you're you have to nickel and dime somewhere. At some point you got to cut corners and you got to just bring on people who who are going to warm the benches or warm the spot right. Like you know, it's when you're given the $50 fantasy football salary cap and you've got to try to figure it out and then you go and spend $38 on Christian McCaffrey. Well, you've still got eight other players that you have to go and draft and you have $12 to do it. You're going to compromise at some point, right?
Speaker 2somewhere with the way and with the way the salaries and everything in the nfl are going through the fucking roof like yeah, it's, it's gonna be interesting, it's gonna be interesting yeah the salary is ridiculous. I mean, and the salary?
First Impressions of Teams After Week One
Speaker 2cap keeps increasing every year, so yeah, well, and it's gonna, now that they've you know, now that they have the deal with the espn and stuff for like a bazillion fucking dollars, it's only going to go up higher, like now, and also they're going to make way more money because they can pass a ton of that logistical shit off to ESPN, who already has the infrastructure built in for it.
Speaker 4Like it won't be long before we're going to have our first hundred million dollar a year player.
Speaker 2Yeah, we're going to have our first $100 million a year player. That was my big realization watching the games this evening was I was like, okay, I think the Lions are coming back to the mean. Besides that, I didn't think the Dolphins were going to be as bad as they showed today, but they looked fucking terrible.
Speaker 4I knew they were going to be bad, but, dude, I did not know that they were going to look like that today. That was disgusting. Yeah, that was sad.
Speaker 2I will say tonight's game was pretty much what I expected, even though I did leave the bar at halftime. Like again, both of those teams, those guys go at each other's throats hard every single time they play and it's never a gimme.
Speaker 4Honestly, I thought it was over at 40-25. Yeah.
Speaker 1But every single time, those guys play.
Speaker 2It's a fucking dogfight, those guys. What about you, jack? What were your takeaways from today, besides the Raiders being 1-0.? Sorry, did something else happen? No, not, really not, not in your division.
Speaker 4Nope, all that stuff happened earlier this week. Oh, the other thing, another actually hold on before you start jack, because I only have really one thing to, because we talked a little bit about it already. Broncos are as bad as I thought they were. Okay, go ahead. Oh, I was actually just checking to see if they won their game or not. Yeah, they, because we talked a little bit about it already. Broncos are as bad as I thought they were. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1Oh, I was actually just checking to see if they won their game or not.
Speaker 4Yeah, they barely did.
Speaker 4Bo Nix Two picks, a fumble. The offense was atrocious. The defense is as real. Probably they don't know they beat up the worst team in the league in Tennessee, but their offense I mean, if they played a competent offense, denver would have lost this game Next week. They're a three-and-a-half point favorite against the Colts. There is no way they beat the Colts next week, not if they play like they played today. Let me clarify that If they don't clean it up, everybody's like oh, the Broncos are going to be a surprise Super Bowl team. I'm like I'll be lucky to make the playoffs to keep playing like this, and I'm all here for it.
Speaker 1Well, that's what Duke was talking about the hope, the hope at the beginning.
Speaker 4The thing is. Here's what's weird, though man, everybody knew their offense was shit. Just watching them in the preseason and listening to sports radio and then talking about them at practice and the offense looked like garbage at practice. Their offense was garbage in the preseason. All this was like, hey, their offense was like, yeah, number one defense, and like they, very well, I'm not going to, I won't piss on them. They very well could have the number one defense this year. We'll see what really happens.
Speaker 4It's only game one and again, they played the worst team in the league. Tennessee had the number one pick last year. For a reason. The rookie quarterback looked like a rookie quarterback, all these things that happened and they basically skated by because their head coach is an idiot and and and they have, you know, for a one year, first year quarterback. So okay, if they, if they would have played you know again, the two teams that played tonight all the Broncos would have got hammered by 40. If that was the case, that 40 to 41 would have been like 41 zero or something. That's how bad the Broncos looked. It was not pretty. Everybody's like oh, the Broncos are going to split with the Chiefs and split with the Chargers and sweep the Raiders.
Speaker 2I'm like, yeah, no, there's your hope. That's what I'm saying. All it takes is one game for them to be like whoa See you, cowboys fans.
Speaker 1Yep, See you, the Cowboys fans. Yep, see the Cowboys fans every year?
Speaker 4Jack, did you even watch your game today?
Speaker 1Yeah, I missed the first quarter. I had mama drama. I'm driving over there and I'm like the Raiders scored first. Why am I not at home? This is bullshit. No, but I got home for the second quarter Right before halftime, I think. Okay. Yeah no, I watched that and then whatever it was flipping through on the highlights and then, when that was over, I think it switched to the Steelers game.
Speaker 4That was the oh, the end of it. It switched to the end of the Steelers.
Speaker 1Yeah, so I game. That was the oh oh the end of it. They switched the end of the series, okay. Yeah, so I watched a little bit of that, but then honeydew list, and then the tv got turned off for some reason. There was a lot of weird stuff happening today for being so committed to the team.
Speaker 2It seems weird that you didn't watch the whole thing not you, I'm talking about other people in your world, um oh, they watched it. Oh, okay, you just got fucked. They were just like ah, you got shit to do, son. Well, he had mama drama.
Speaker 1She couldn't figure out her wifi or some shit, even though I just fixed it last night.
Speaker 4Oh man, so did you watch any of the night game at all?
Speaker 1Um, a little bit Um, but then I got bored and last night we watched the monkey, but I fell asleep for part of it, so I was trying to re-watch what I missed.
Speaker 2You fell asleep during the monkey. Come on, dude, the monkey is like right in your fucking wheelhouse anything all right what'd you think I'm?
Speaker 1monkey. I like good shows, like final destination, but you knew that death was the monkey. Yeah, it was the ridiculousness of final destination when it comes to the deaths. But it's caused by the monkey, not some invisible the bus hilarious was the ending better than the last final destination movie? Shit was hilarious, dude. Okay, that's good to know, because you're like, oh, it's over and then it wasn't.
Speaker 2Well, the funny part is you watch that trailer Because you're like, oh, it's over and then it wasn't. Well, the funny part is, you watch that trailer and you're like, wow, those people died in fucked up ways. And then you watch the movie and you're like, oh no.
Speaker 3I didn't even know.
Speaker 4Those were the easy ways people died.
Speaker 1No no, no, those guys got off easy.
Speaker 2They were like here is like 10 seconds of somebody dying and you're like, wow, that's a really fucked up way to die. And then you watch the movie and it's a five minute shot of them dying and you're like, wow, okay, I had no fucking idea.
Speaker 1Like wow, it's on hulu though. You can watch.
Speaker 4It's on hulu okay I'm gonna say I haven't, I haven't watched, I haven't watched anything in a while. I mean, I watched. I think nobody too. I think I told you guys yeah, but that's about it. I've been so caught up with TV shows, finishing the Good Place and then finishing Voyager, and now I'm already on season 3 of DS9. That's all it's been. As soon as I get a chance.
Speaker 3He's not captain until like season 4.
Speaker 4He's commander still At the end of season three, I think he gets promoted to captain and I think that's where I stopped watching the first time around. Shit for real man.
Speaker 1Oh, they just promote anybody to captain. Now they let blacks in charge the space station.
Speaker 4What, what the fuck is no, no, no, no, no. That was my no. That was that was my thought in 93 when the ship first came out. It was like how are they going to have him?
Speaker 2Go ahead, lou, they could let.
Speaker 4Miles be the captain. He's an ensign. He's fine. Miles could run the station. What about Quark?
Speaker 2Lou in 93. Fucking DEI. And everyone's like what's DEI? And he's like you'll fucking know, give me 20 years.
Speaker 4Just wait. All y'all mofos wait. Although Cisco's cadence is speech cadence, it really irritates me, kind of like the way Rich Eisen did on Friday night.
Speaker 2People weren't super happy with his performance.
Speaker 4Yeah, rich Eisen was not good. And then Sisko just listening to him when he talks to somebody, it's that whole. Hmm, like he's on stage.
Speaker 2He is a theater actor. Was he Was Avery Brooks a theater actor. I believe, he was a theater actor before.
Speaker 4Because that's the vibe I'm getting out of him and it's like my favorite character Odo is probably the best character.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, he is.
Speaker 4Close to follow the Quark. Quark is probably, you're right, Quark's probably second.
Speaker 2Dax is just there for eye candy With her giant head and her spots.
Speaker 4Oh my God, and why is her hair so high? Lord?
Speaker 2for real, Because it's the 90s buddy.
Speaker 3Yeah, that did start.
Speaker 4You know what I tell you? I did some research on that one. It was really weird. They started that in January 93, 20 episodes, season one, and then they ended in June and picked right up up in like september, october for season two. Uh, three months later it was like holy crap, they just went right into it and then that didn't jump. Then it jumped up to the normal 26 I am.
Speaker 2I am so happy the fucking land man's coming back in november. I'm like, oh shit, just watched that. Like yeah, we just finished that in like july and now it's like november. I'm like, thank fucking god, don't make me wait?
Speaker 4no, that can't be right. Wasn't land land man was like, wasn't?
Speaker 2it last year? Here we go.
Speaker 4No, I don't think it was last year I was gonna say it wasn't july, because I had finished watching that in the spring, before I left to japan. I'm pretty sure january if not january 2025.
Speaker 2I'll see there you go I'm good with night. I'm good with 10 months. I can do 10 months.
Speaker 4I agree with that.
Speaker 1The first episode was November 17th.
Speaker 2This is good. It's been a year so they're right on schedule. I would argue they're right on schedule Alright.
Speaker 1That's cool. We've been watching a lot of movies lately because it's like that weird slump where TV isn't quite back yet.
Speaker 4So Dexter's over Twisted?
Speaker 1Metal's over yeah.
Speaker 2You know what?
Speaker 4Hang on, I'm grabbing my notepad because there's a bunch of crap that I forgot you to watch. Okay, twisted Metal.

Speaker 3Keep going, captain America, peacemaker, peacemaker, alien.
Speaker 4Earth. You know what? I got to the opening of Peacemaker and then O'Girl was tired. We got to the opening like two minutes and then the opening credit song and then we stopped.
Speaker 1So you got to see last time on Peacemaker with retcons and then, yeah, okay, yeah, I was fine with that.
Speaker 2Yeah, this is. I think it's netflix uh, quarterback peacemaker I watched season two of quarterback. That was pretty good. I heard that. I heard that's a good show actually. Yeah, so season one was uh mahomes, uh mariotta, uh harry oda it was interesting because again they're talking about these young guys, but then they're also talking about guys.
Speaker 3He's not even a starter.
Speaker 2Well, but that was the thing At the end of the season before he was for Tennessee, right? So they kept with him through the offseason and then through the season of when he went to the Falcons and stuff like that Kirk Cousins, mariota Mahomes and of when he went to the falcons and stuff like that, uh, kirk cousins, uh, mariotta mahomes, and who was the fourth guy? Fuck, I can't remember who the fourth guy was. There you go. And then season two was kirk cousins, um, joe burrow and uh, jared goff. Oh, that seems like a good season it was just because seeing Kirk Cousins get benched and everything.
Speaker 2Again, I don't have any personal problem with Kirk Cousins. I never had any beef with him or anything like that.
Speaker 4Why would you? He did good for your team.
Speaker 2What did?
Speaker 4y'all see Alien Earth. So I got Twisted Metal Peacemaker Quarterback Alien Earth.
Speaker 2Let's see.
Speaker 4But wait, I still need to watch that. Oh is it done yet? I think we have like two episodes left.

Speaker 2Lou, did you watch Warfare, yet I don't know what it's on. Warfare. It's actually based on a book that a guy who was actually like in iraq during the second iraq war was, but they like it's supposed to be like soup, like very, instead of being like these guys are heroes or whatever, just like the bullshit that they went through. I watched it. I really liked it. I thought it was good, like as far as your show movie.
Speaker 1It's a movie, okay, uh just as far as that one doesn't sound familiar. It's rent or buy on prime that that wasn't on.
Speaker 4Uh, the movie theater, was it? Yeah, it was in the theater oh, really that that one doesn't sound familiar. I don't remember that one it was low-key, it wasn't.
Speaker 2They didn't do a big promotional push for it, but I watched it.
Speaker 4I thought it was low-key yeah, so dude, there is. I know we talked about it before, but there is so much nothing in the movie theater right now.
Speaker 2It's like we're trying to find something to watch tuesday we're gonna go watch because we've just been a couple of people in the group had heard good word about it, right, and I'm like, whatever we haven't gone to the movies in a few weeks, that's fine oh shit, we went to um, we went to go see fantastic four when we were at disneyland last week.
Speaker 1So we're walking into the theater and these people were coming out after watching caught stealing and they pulled a fucking homer simpson watching empire strikes back. I'm like, really you had to say that, wow, wow. So I'll just wait for streaming now was this?
Speaker 2uh, what like. So you were in la. Where were you? You weren't at del capitan. Where were you at?
Speaker 1no, we were just in anaheim so yeah there's a. There was a cinemark right next to the Honda Center when the Sucks play, and um yeah, we had spent all weekend at Disneyland Trying to take pictures with the Fantastic Four. So the girls were like, oh, let's go see it. I'm like, okay, cool. Since I fell asleep I didn't realize how much of it I missed the first time.
Speaker 3Dang.
Speaker 4I thought you just missed like 15 minutes or something. No, I was like oh, I don't remember any of this happening.
Speaker 1They have a baby. I thought you just missed like 15 minutes or something.
Speaker 2No, I was like oh, I don't remember any of this happening.
Speaker 1They have a baby. I knew about the baby. I was awake for that, with her pants flying everywhere and things getting all up in her vag.
Speaker 2For real People on the internet got mad about it. Maybe I fell asleep during that part of the movie then, because I don't remember all that.
Speaker 4What's to get mad?
Speaker 1about. They're like why would you let your best friend Get up in your wife's vag? I'm like because he's helping her deliver the baby, because he has the skills to do so. Yeah.
Speaker 2Are you better to catch a baby?
Speaker 1in zero G Than a dude with fucking oven mitts for hands. That's why I'm glad I lose a round.
Speaker 4Yeah, that I didn't know that was a thing. People got mad at. That that's. That's dumb for getting mad at. You know what I mean? Like, like, when we're talking about lives on the line, forget if it's a baby, just whatever. The situation may be right, if, if, if, if a old girl has some kind of cut, some wound, uh, around her stomach area that requires pants whatever to come off, y'all better fucking take them pants off, save her ass. I don't give a fuck. You know what I mean. Who cares about that?
Speaker 1She spilled milk on her pants, nah, you better help her out.
Speaker 4You better help her Bruh.
Speaker 3Uh-uh.
Speaker 2Oh shit, she just dropped a buffalo wing on her leg. Oh, I'm out.
Speaker 4Bye guys I don't know, I don't got no gloves. Okay, that's like that's unlikely, because if we're at some place that has buffalo wings, I likely have gloves on me we were just walking down the street and somebody fucking threw a chicken wing at her oh well, well, okay, you guys take care of her while I go whoop somebody's ass. Lou's like I need someone to hold my earrings and my shoes, I'll be right back.
Speaker 4Right, this motherfucker is wasting chicken. Grab my shit, jack. Hold my bag from Ghirardelli, hold my pins, help her out, oh uh go ahead.
Speaker 2I'm going to. Glad we got dialed in for for december, glad it's happening. Did we, did we, did we? Well, we had one piece that was left and it was uh, you know, the raiders fan was supposed to have a, was supposed to have a decision for us, like at the end of last week, and it's been two weeks now. So Was he?
Speaker 1The one piece that was left for him to figure out. That requires my wife actually paying attention to me.
Speaker 2There's a couple, he also has to go to Costco. I thought you were going to Costco. No, motherfucker, I wasn't going to Costco. Yeah, you were, was I? Yeah, from the beginning, you were supposed to going to Costco.
Speaker 4Yeah, you were, was I? Yeah, from the beginning, you were supposed to go to Costco.
Speaker 2I'll go to Costco tomorrow. I'll go to Costco tomorrow.
Speaker 4That's where I was. I was like we got it. I mean, I'll figure out my flight back later, but because that's honestly that's probably one of the easier things to do. But the room cinch and then the getting in the park cinch. If not, we're going to be tourists hovering around. What's going on at the convention center that weekend? Well, Rosie will also be there.
Speaker 2Knitting convention Knitting convention Knitting convention Sneaking like a mule Don't say that.
Speaker 4Don't say that. No, do not say that, because old girl would ditch Disney and go to that shit.
Speaker 1Not even kidding. Remind me tomorrow, it's always tomorrow. Okay, sounds good, we're about tomorrow?
Speaker 4Oh wait.
Speaker 1That's the answer to everything. Can we have sex tonight?
Speaker 2Maybe, tomorrow.
Speaker 4Maybe no guarantees yeah. Let's see how my knee feels.
Speaker 2Wait what? What did your knee have?
Speaker 4to do with it. How's my knee?
Speaker 2Right, how's my knee holding up?
Speaker 3Oh my god, I didn't know your knee bone was connected to your jawbone.
Speaker 1I missed that part.
Speaker 2Oh shit. Costco does have a Universal Studios Hollywood season pass for $179. 180 days of fun.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's just blacked out for when I need it for Halloween, horror Nights. Trying to just take me in the oldest house, just fixing to be expensive as fuck, yep.
Speaker 2But you knew the second. They announced the fucking Fallout bees. You were like.
Speaker 1Fuck.
Speaker 4That cut her Directly, indirectly. How was Portman Con?
Speaker 2I mean it was fine, it was different Speaking of Roosevelt directly, indirectly. How was portland con? I mean, it was fine, it was different speaking of roosevelt's, yeah speaking of votes. Um, no line at roosevelt's. It was super chill, fucking bb create wasn't there. I'm like I'm calling them out on the fucking podcast because that's some bullshit. Like they were on the website, like they'd signed up, like I, we spent an hour trying to find them and it was ridiculous just for the go to their instagram page to find out they're in like ontario, california.
Speaker 1I'm like they're like, let's see, we can go to portland or we can go to our backyard. Yeah, no shit which is fine.
Speaker 2I don't I misunderstood, I thought you.
Speaker 4I thought they were in canada.
Speaker 2Canada no ontario california so, which is fine, I don't, that part doesn't bother me. But don't fucking tell me you're in portland when you're not like, because then I'm looking around fucking wasting my time. That's fair and I'm wasting other people's time because we're going to like the information booth and they're all like um, I don't know.
Speaker 1It says they're here like you know, just fucking put a cancellation notice up, say, hey, we, hey, we were supposed to go to Portland. Why doesn't the con know that they canceled? If you went to the information booth, did they pay for the booth? And just not show up.
Speaker 2There's the helpers and then there's the people who actually work with the vendors and stuff like that. I always talk to the helpers. The helpers were like they were like, well, well, we can go and get a guy who works, like, we can go get the front. What is it left, left stage or something like that was the company that was actually like coordinating all the actual vendors, but none of them happened to be in the information area while we were there. But then one of the girls like went on instagram and looked up their name and was like, oh, it looks like they're in Ontario, california, this week and I was like that works for me. Would have been nice if they would have fucking said something Right? So I don't know.
Speaker 2I just wanted another pin that matched my other pin from last year, that was all.
Speaker 4Makes sense. I mean, and they still might have it on the site If they were planning to go and they procured those pins. Yeah, I did email them Either way. I did email them and keep in mind, I'm still a Patreon member. So if they have extra pins and they should have they usually throw them up there with that secret menu thing. That's why I got Jack's pin. So if they do it, just let me know, I'll order it for you.
Speaker 4I'll let you know, if they respond back, did you end up taking your cup with you? Wild Bills Was Wild Bills even there this year.
Speaker 2They had a booth there, but it was weird. I got the root beer, but I think they crossed. They tapped it wrong, because the first couple drinks drinks were root beer and then it tasted like cherry soda, which again not terrible. But when it's not what you're expecting, you're kind of like.
Speaker 4Right, right, I've done that. What the hell Huh? Hang on, because I got this laptop two weeks ago, right, oh shit, there's still paper on this thing. I've got to pull this film off, Mother fucker.
Speaker 2I'm surprised that you didn't just leave it. That's how you know. It's new oh shit Y'all look a little bit clearer.
Speaker 1You guys look so much better on the screen now.
Speaker 4I just thought, since I bought a cheap $200 laptop, that's just what I could expect. You know, it is what it is. It's okay, I wasn't going to cry about it for $200. But look at this shit. This whole thing was still on the damn cover. Man, it's like I bought a new laptop two weeks later. Look at that, it's a nice screen. It looks pretty good, come on.
Speaker 2There's this little no-transcript.
Speaker 4Haven't you been watching football on the laptop all day? Yeah, no, no, actually I wasn't. I had it HDMI to my little 20-inch monitor so I was watching it on that Plus. I had this thing for two weeks. I didn't pay attention for the last two weeks I didn't really care. I was just playing magic, because I still use the other laptop, because a lot of the stuff that I have I haven't copied over yet because I was lazy, too busy watching Voyager and DS9. But yeah, I haven't really done much with this computer yet.
Speaker 3So yeah, anyway nice to have a fresh screen.
Speaker 2So the bb create thing was pretty disappointing. Roosevelt's was cool. Uh, those guys were cool, uh, I was able to. They, I, I, I was like I went and I looked at all the shirts and my, the guy that I was walking around with the, my friend that I brought, I showed him the shirts. He ended up getting one of the stranger things, um, like the bright neon one shirt. Um, I don't know the, the history behind it or what it was named or anything, but he liked it. I was like cool, welcome to fucking roosevelt's hell. Because once you put that
Speaker 1on one of us yeah one of us, but I will. I, I wore my uh be, disappointed.
Speaker 2I wore my um bamboo yeah, the bamboo rogue one shirt and everybody there was like, oh shit, that's our. We love the fucking bamboos and I'm like I just, I just hate how long it dries. I was like I love it, but it just takes. So I hang dry them. I don't put them in the dryer and it takes, it takes, it takes easily.
Speaker 2So like I'll hang all of the new flex, the normal, their normal shirts and that shit's those shits. I'll be dry in like an hour hanging. I'll go into, I'll hang it up in, like the, the shower, like I'll hang it up on the shower and then I'll turn the fan on in the bathroom so then it'll circulate the air. I'll go big and like an hour later, all of the new flex ones are all fine, the, the bamboo ones are still like drip, drip, drip and I'm like that shit, those shits take like a day to dry and to hang dry. It's kind of crazy, but they're super fucking comfortable. Like and if like I was a sweaty motherfucker because there was no air conditioning in that hall and like you couldn't even tell, like so it was, it did a really good job of like absorbing the sweat without like pitting, pitting you out, so right. But no, they were super proud.
Speaker 2They were like all stoked that I was wearing the bamboo shirt um and then, uh, I then I think jack had sent the picture of, like the traveling con one, the shirts.
Speaker 1I went and I looked and they had the inked Inked in Legends.
Speaker 2Inked in Legends. I didn't see that up on the wall. They had all the other shirts hung up on the little mannequins. I went back and I'm like do you guys have the Inked in Legends? The guy's like which one? I go, this one I. So I showed him on the and he's like let me ask, because I think we're out of those. And I was like makes sense, because it's the fucking best one out of the whole bunch. And then he's like oh well, we just got like a second run that we're almost out of, but we have one 3X left.
Speaker 2And I like hook daddy up, change your side yep and then uh, my friend worked yesterday and today at the convention and he was able to to get away from the booth for a few minutes. And uh got the portland floral for us for this year. So he said he even bought one of himself. I thought you'd read it on no, it didn't come out until sat that one was a. Saturday show, but then he's like I bought one too, and then I did the same thing. One of us, one of us.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 2Welcome to Roosevelt's Hell, my friend.
Speaker 1You will enjoy those. $70 t-shirts, $76 aftertaste I actually got. I was able to get the Oogie Boogie one at a.
Speaker 4Disneyland, oh yeah.
Speaker 1With the Disney discount it was actually cheaper than getting it directly from Roosevelt. It was like $60-something Even with the added Disney price 15% off if you get off though. Yeah, but they're also like $77 there. They're not the regular. They added Disney tax to it, okay.
Speaker 2And then I take the.
Speaker 1Disney tax off and a little bit more with the discount.
Speaker 4So that's pretty cool Because you get 20% off, right, yeah, off merch. Yes, I can see it. Then that's solid.
Speaker 1I was hoping to get my Disney Haunted Mansion one.
Speaker 2Besides that, they had a lot more booths. There were a lot more vendors, had a lot more booths.
Speaker 2So there was a lot more vendors, a lot more artists and stuff which was cool like I'm glad getting bigger every year uh, the weird thing was last year when we went there was a ton of sticker vendors like where literally it was just the booth, was just a ton of vinyl stickers. This year there was maybe a quarter if that of those booths and dice like dice were the big thing Resin dice so many people had custom dice where you'd walk in and they'd have 75 colors mixed with gold flake and silver flake and just different. I felt like there were twice as many of those booths as there were last year.
Speaker 4So she blew on them yeah shit.
Speaker 2Now she's selling them.
Speaker 4This is her dice, water you know, uh, there there has. They haven't been around in a while, uh, probably the last three years, but maybe the 2013 to 2018, 2019. There was a booth here at fedexpo, denver, uh, and, and after going to their booth, I don't think I would buy dice from anybody but them, because it was the kind that was drilled to be even. You know like, you know what I'm talking about. Or the six dots on one side Well, if you drill those, it's going to be unweighted. For the one on the opposite side, well, they drill out the exact same amount, so it's a deeper hole on the one side than it is on the sixth side, and I was like I never really thought about that. That's a really great idea. So when I first saw that in 2013, 2014, I was like I don't need dice right now, but if I did, that's badass and that's what I would do I just thought the concept was super cool.
Speaker 1Finally, I have ocd dice yeah, I would.
Speaker 4I had the dice that I had for magic, so I wasn't going to buy some new ones when I didn't need to. If I was playing a game that rolled the die like that, that rolled die like that I probably would Like. If I played D&D, I probably would get a full set of proper weighted dice like that. But since I don't, I was like eh, I use my dice for counters on Magic card, so I don't need them for that. But I just I had no, I just it was amazing that I had never heard of that, you know, and it was super cool Lou here at the.
Speaker 1Can you super manage yourself for not thinking of it yourself?
Speaker 4A little bit. When I first saw it I was like man, that's just so easy, lou here at fucking denver fan con like perfectly balanced, as everything should be for real. I've been walking around with this, with this fucking set of dice in my hand, whatever, all, all ten sizes, all eight fingers. You're just like oh look at this just walking around, but it would have been like smirkirk the whole time. Everybody would have been like what is wrong with this dude?
Speaker 2I mean it would have been.
Speaker 4I have great dice.
Speaker 2They still did, but at least you would have the dice as an excuse.
Speaker 4Yeah, Well, that too, I suppose.
Speaker 2In this case, you're walking around. They're like what's this black person doing here? I don't understand. I was going to say that's more realistic.
Speaker 4My first thought was I'm like no, they're probably like great, somebody from Aurora came up.
Portland Comic Con Experience
Speaker 1They're like wait, is this guy in blackface? Can I be offended? Actually, that's what you should do next time Just put on some big-ass red lipstick lips and just see if you get called out for blackface.
Speaker 4Especially with my hair.
Speaker 1Racist motherfucker.
Speaker 2Oh my God. Especially with my hair too. They would think like oh my god, how do you think I got these scars? Oh my bad.
Speaker 1Sorry, sorry. I ran out of white makeup. I couldn't finish painting my face white man, I've done that before.
Speaker 4I was a vampire for halloween when I was like eight and I had flour all over my face. Too sorry that happened.
Speaker 1That was really because you went to your grandma's kitchen while she was making your fried chicken. She slapped the shit out of you.
Speaker 4Oh no, this is Japan dog. I was in Japan when this happened. I think it was my first.
Speaker 2Halloween Kabuki makeup. It was just flour.
Speaker 4Okay, now you're a vampire, okay.
Speaker 2I like that your mom used his opportunity to slap you. Okay, you're a vampire now. You're like am I Ow? My face hurts, it's fine. Vampire's face hurts. That's the part of the deal.
Speaker 4Yeah, it was awesome. I thought I looked cool.
Speaker 1Lou's going out trick-or-treating Meets back on the menu boys, Looking like a fucking Uruk-hai from Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 4For real though. Oh, I really do.
Speaker 2What did Five Fingers say to the face, vampire?
Speaker 4Oh man, that was the coolest black-white vampire ever. That did not sparkle, it was awesome. Oh man, I can't remember a lot of my older costumes like I think I remember like the single digit stuff for the most part, other than that one where you know you did the little vinyl jumpsuit with that stupid one piece plastic mask and you had a picture of yourself on your chest. Basically.
Speaker 1I'm Darth Vader. What's a Darth Vader mask?
Speaker 4Yeah, that was about.
Speaker 2I'm Oscar the Grouch. Oh yeah, it did have that on.
Speaker 4Shit, it did have that on. I forgot about the picture on the middle dude.
Speaker 1I forgot about that, yeah, that's what NECA's making. Those toys, those little dudes, oh that's right, I saw that those old school Ben Cooper costumes man after that, though, I don't think I've ever.
Speaker 4I always liked Halloween, but I don't think I really did anything creative. It was too much work. There was one year.
Speaker 2I'll see if I can find the picture. I have my sister send it to me. She has a lot more of that stuff. My mom made Darth Vader, an Ewok and Yoda costumes. So I was Darth Vader because I was the oldest and the tallest, and she took the little cereal boxes from the hotel cereal boxes and made his chest piece. It was all felt and then it was the black and then I had the Don Post mask from back in the day Hells yeah, still got mine right over there.
Speaker 2And then the Don Post, the two piece. What's that?
Speaker 4The two piece. Yeah, yeah, the the dawn post um, the two-piece.
Speaker 2Was that the two-piece? Yeah, yeah, yeah, um, and then 1984 fox studios sitting over there on my yoda mask and then, uh, she made the ewok and so that was all fur. That's kind of cool. And then, uh, yoda was the. She had the cloak with the with his uh, uh, glimmer stick uh thing Back before we knew he was nibbling on that shit like a fucking cokehead or crackhead, I guess. See, that's creative right.
Speaker 4Yeah, your mom the cosplayer.
Speaker 2That was the point. That was the high point of costumes as far as Now. You get made fun of if your mom makes your costume. Is there a story you need?
Speaker 1maybe no my mom left when I was six, so I didn't have a lot of halloweens with her no wow no, now I.
Speaker 2Now it's like. I have a friend who has a. Every year she has a halloween party and it's always like themed and like two years ago or three years ago it was like superheroes, so I was able to shot thor. It's really hard actually for some of these to find like costumes that have like a beard, but one year I got to be thor fat thor which was cool because I just bought like a bathrobe and then bought a stormbreaker and a mug and so I just walked around drinking the whole time as one does, and I think I had a Jesus wig and then the other one that I remember from that was a Harry Potter one. So I bought a big furry bathrobe and I bought a bunch of keys and then I was Hagrid.
Speaker 4You bought a bunch of keys. What the fuck?
Speaker 2Well, he has the key ring right.
Speaker 4I know, but how do you just go buy a bunch of keys?
Speaker 2Well, you can just go on Amazon and they have the costume. It's like a key ring with a bunch of Okay okay, that's what I was, that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 4I was like I'm going to go to Amazon, other ones at amazon and check if they have haggard set of keys on amazon well it wasn't, but it wasn't home depot and grab all.
Speaker 1It was like the team of your own keys.
Speaker 2It was like for real, it was like I bought like a big key ring and then I bought like a hundred like cheap, like skeleton type keys, yeah, yeah and uh. Then I spent like an afternoon putting all the keys on the key ring and then I just walked around with it and they were

Speaker 1It's a pop culture thing.
Speaker 2I went to a birthday party last week or last night and uh, one of the people that I knew brought their significant other, who I hadn't met, and uh, he comes up and they're like hey, what's up? And I'm like what's going on? And they're like here's my significant other. And I said cool, and he's like I introduced you as being a guy who's like a really old raver, but also santa claus, and I went okay, fair, I mean fuck you guys, I'm going home, yeah I'm like I feel seen old raver center plan so I might have to go on to roosevelt's and buy myself a couple christmas shirts and then,

Speaker 2Hang on hang on, sorry, sorry. This happens every time I go out.
Speaker 4Oh my god, that would be so good.
Speaker 2Raving Santa Claus, there we go.
Speaker 4Oh, okay. So I was thinking about this the other day, and mainly because I forgot what was our homework supposed to be from two weeks ago. We're supposed to like top five or top ten or something, but I can't remember what it was no, I don't know was it top five tv shows?
Speaker 4tunes or tv shows, cartoons I don't know, as I'm saying, I don't know, I just I know we had I was like we should ask the three people that have listened to the podcast. Dude, for real, Did we talk about? See, that's the thing. Did we talk about it during the podcast?
Speaker 2We talked about it after we logged off it was two weeks ago when we were like, yeah, we should talk about that, and then somebody had to go to Disneyland for the weekend by himself.
Speaker 4This and then somebody had to go to Disneyland for the weekend by himself. Yeah, this guy, no wifey to help. Yeah, it actually wasn't that bad.
Speaker 1I can't imagine it would. They're very well behaved.
Speaker 4They've been there enough times.
Speaker 1Somebody that didn't go bought like four Pandora charms.
Speaker 2Bro, I was just about to say say at least it was cheaper this time, and then you're like, you won't have to buy pandora oh my god no, she waited until everyone was out of the house.
Speaker 1and then she's like pandoracom click, click, click and she's like, oh, what are the new ones? And I I'm like, well, they got a Jack, a Santa Jack, they got a Zero, they got a Witch Mani, and Witch Mani and Zero both glow in the dark. She's like, okay, I need all three of those.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1And then oldest is like, oh, they have a new Oswald. And I'm like, well, you know what? That shit's basically free with the discount sold Fair enough, you don't do transcripts for our videos.
Speaker 2I was going to look at the transcript real quick. Are there transcripts?
Speaker 4Yeah, I was going to say I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2It just says music.
Speaker 4Guys, we have 11. You gotta cater to people who can't hear we have 11 subscribers. Some call them guests.
Speaker 2The thumbnail from two weeks ago's pod is fucking hilarious.
Speaker 1They do begin funny.
Speaker 2It's me going and Lou going.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't even bother changing those. I'm like fuck it, I don't even care, leave them be.
Speaker 2Right, all right, well, I'll look up. We'll go through the the.
Speaker 3We'll figure it out.
Speaker 2I think it was like Top 5 TV shows or top 5 cartoons or something like that.
Speaker 4But it would have been like we would have limited it.
Speaker 2It would have been like 80s or 90s, probably the 90s 90s, I think would have been Would have worked for all 3 of us. Jack and I at some point will have to do Top 5 wrestlers, do top five wrestlers and top five wrestlers. We've hated you guys can do that one.
Speaker 4when I'm not around for one of these, I'm on some trip someplace, or just tired or whatever. Y'all do all your wrestling stuff then.
Speaker 1When he goes back to Japan.
Speaker 2Yeah, Real quick, Jack. Are we going to WrestleMania next year?
Speaker 1That shit was expensive as fuck. Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 4That's several thousand when all said and done.
Speaker 1I was like God damn. Two nights ago, but holy shit.
Speaker 2When is it? Because we can at least do FanFest together. We'll take your little to the FanFest. That'd be awesome, right? I think it's in April?
Speaker 1Isn't WrestleMania always in like April, or something?
Speaker 2I think so. Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 4Maybe yeah, because one of the buddies that I have out here from Colorado that I usually pick something up for at SDCC, he went to the Vegas one, I don't know, earlier this year. I guess it was yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1And he just talked, talked about how awesome it was and you can't wait, I can't imagine it's not.
Speaker 4I mean it is wrestlemania, it's the super bowl of wrestling. So yeah, oh that's right, I'm thinking it's like a regular monday night raw type thing no, I mean it is, but it isn't.
Speaker 2It's like no, no, no, no wrestlemania is definitely the super.
Speaker 4I remember it now. That's like wrestlemania three man, yeah, wrestlemania three.
Speaker 2Well, it's like the summation of everything that they've been talking about for the last year right, it'll be. John Cena's last match in April Actually, it's the end of the year is when he's done right yeah.
Speaker 1He's already done his last WrestleMania, Like December or some shit he's done. Yeah, he said I am old as fuck and that shit hurts.
Speaker 2Yep, I bet, and it hurts. Brock Lesnar came back and was like I'm old as fuck and I will still wreck your face. Were they enemies in the?
Speaker 4wrestling world.
Speaker 2I mean Brock Lesnar's just kind of a piece of shit in general.
Speaker 4I'm going to say that as a wrestler or in real world.
Speaker 3Yeah, he's a wrestler.
Speaker 2He's a piece of shit as a wrestler and then also a piece of shit as a person.
Speaker 4Okay, there we go.
Speaker 1Need I need to know if this is a character or if this is it's, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a mirror of his real life ah gotcha, unlike john cena who plays a dick, but he's actually seems like he's like a super like he's done more make a wish, uh wishes than anybody ever like.
Speaker 2yeah, like by far likea-wish list is fucking huge the number of wishes he's made.
Speaker 1It's easy though, like, oh, john Cena's here and there's nobody fucking there and they're just like yep, he's here, you can't see him.
Speaker 2There's actual wishes and then not-seen wishes.
Speaker 4Wow, that's damn this guy. You know it took me a while to get those jokes. I was all like I don't get what's going on with this, and then I had to go look it up and figure out what the hell was happening.
Speaker 3Lose on knowyourmeancom.
Speaker 1Why can I?
Speaker 4not see John Cena. I need to bookmark that if that's a real thing.
Speaker 1Oh, it is.
Speaker 4I don't get what's happening. I'll just ask you hey guys, this meme came out. I don't get it.
Speaker 2Explain it so in July of 2022, john Cena Became the first celebrity to grant 650 wishes for Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hulk Hogan and Dale Earnhardt Jr and Jeff Gordon have each granted more than 200 wishes, but no other star has ever made it past the 300-wish landmark. That's impressive, considering nobody else has done more than 300. The fact that you're doubling number two, like that's I don't know that stuff's cool, like good for him.
Speaker 1So yeah, I've never heard anything bad about him.
Speaker 2So yeah, I mean he's a weirdo, but what like Hollywood star isn't a weirdo to one degree or another?
Speaker 1Like I listened to the um one degree or another. Like is that I listened to the um the peacemaker podcast. After the episode airs uh, james gunn and um his wife and uh, the dude that plays economos. They do it, yeah and um. So in this season, you know, and he's all sad and depressed and doing drugs. He's like how do you use a bong? And they're like okay, john, haha. He's like how do you use a bong? And they're like okay, john, ha ha. And he's like no, no seriously, how that's funny.
Speaker 2Have you never seen Pineapple Express? John Cena.
Speaker 4Oh God, that horrible ass movie.
Speaker 2Good.
Speaker 4Lord, no that movie, but I'm just saying.
Speaker 2If you want to know how to use a bong, there are plenty of movies that you could have. You want to know how to use a bong? There are plenty of movies that you could have watched to show you how to use a bong.
Speaker 4Not really. Just because they have a bong on the screen, don't you know how to use it?
Speaker 2You're fucking walking out of the theater. This motherfucker doesn't know how to use a bong. Fuck this shit.
Speaker 1Much less that it's Seth Rogen Fuck him.

Speaker 3Oh, okay, this was He'll give Star Wars two chances.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah, and I have to have. If it was good enough for me to finish, okay, maybe I'll give it a second chance. I got through 20 minutes and it was horrible. Are you telling me it got better? I was going to say it couldn't get worse, but that's not true. It could have got worse.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't remember the first 20 minutes. Wait, are we talking about Pineapple Express or Rise of Skywalker? Got him. That's good stuff. Yup, yup.
Speaker 4He does have that Rise of Skywalker.

Speaker 4Yes, that is true.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1That just shouldn't count. That's not voice acting, that's just talking. There's no emotion in it.
Speaker 3Yes there's no emotion in a voiceover.
Speaker 4I'm doing a voiceover right now, if you're going to lose, losing to Julie Andrews is okay, yeah.
Speaker 2There are a lot of worse people he could have lost to.
Speaker 1Do you want people to be like Alan Tudyk? Beat julie andrews? Whoa sir, that is not how we get down here.
Speaker 4There's the disrespect you know what's funny? I think I would question that. I would immediately go look to see what she did and what he did and I'd be like is there how does that happen like? Yeah that is, how does that even happen? Yeah, you're right, I would look that up too.
Speaker 1I think he he said there's another one for you if you get fresh again.
Speaker 4Oh man.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 4I know I'll ask a girl because I'm pretty sure when we do this pod she watches last week's or the last pod. So when we're done I'll go ask her because I don't know what that top five was supposed to be before or after you express oil oh, that was already done during during, when that gate, when that game was boring I wouldn't handle that, or?
Speaker 2hey, do you remember what the top five was that we were going to talk about next week's episode? Oh, I thought it was TV shows in the 90s it was the top five mouthwashes. Hey, guess what number one is With a bullet? Lou's dick. Lou.
Speaker 4show off your shirt for the people who are watching the video let me see if I can bring it down, because I don't want to lean up so much because you're not wearing shorts.
Speaker 2Okay, boom celebration three old school. This is an original folks 2005. I think I still have my other Yoda shirt.
Speaker 4First week of.
Speaker 2May my Yoda sweatshirt. You remember when we wore those, Jack?
Speaker 4Oh yeah.
Speaker 3The green one.
Speaker 2Yeah, I bought two because I was like these are fucking awesome and they're never going to make anything. That's going to come close. And guess what? They haven't.
Speaker 4They really haven't no they have not. I I got one, my ex got one, charlie Gretchen got one. Yeah, I think Charlie Gretchen got one.
Speaker 2Jack and I have a picture with the Lego Chewbacca from back in the day when we were young.
Speaker 1I don't think we took it off all weekend.
Speaker 2No, we didn't. That's why I bought a second one, Because I'm like we're going to wear this shit out.
Speaker 4It was cold as fuck.
Speaker 2Yeah, fucking Indianapolis Rainy yeah, fucking indian rainy. Yeah, snowy, more rainy for early may.
Speaker 4Man, that's crazy.
Speaker 1Indianapolis gets cold y'all I have um, I have the pullover from celebration 2 with jangle and the clones on the back the black one. Yeah, I don't know if I had you get that for me or if it was an ebay thing I probably got it for you, because I think I had that for a long time.
Speaker 2If I still don't, I think I still have that one in my like clothes. I'm never going to wear or be able to fit in bag under the bed type of thing, but I still need it. Yeah, but I can't let it go. Yeah, that's how I feel about the cantina shirt I wore in the last podcast, cause I podcast because I stood up and I was like fat man in a little shirt because it was like an xl and I'm like, but it's the cantina shirt that I got I don't jack.
Speaker 2Do you remember where I got that cantina shirt? Was it a celebration? Because it doesn't have the celebration logo on it.
Speaker 1Maybe disneyland could have been like a vendor, or yeah, maybe it was a disney shirt.
Speaker 2I'll have to google it and then I'll be like oh it's worth $300. I guess I can part with it.
Speaker 1I can part with it. I do not need it that badly.
Speaker 4That's like seven Roosevelt's, that is 75 cents dude, that is 75%, 60% of my Disney trip.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's why I was so pissed at those guys on Friday, because I went and I bought the. I bought the Marvel tarot card shirt and then. I walked away, and then that was when we started talking about the Goonies shirt and then I went back to take the picture while I was waiting for Jack to respond. That's when I was like you got the Inked in Legends thing. And he's like oh yeah. Then Jack was like eh, and at that point he's like oh yeah then.
Speaker 2Then jack was like and at that point he's like we have one 3x left, and I was like it worked out good, roosevelt's, god damn it yeah, it worked out, although I'm still surprised that the anime luke wasn't there yeah, that's a little sad. I guess I could have only one sorry, I should have asked because that was that was one of their traveling ones. Right, that was one of the traveling ones we thought not so, but maybe they only travel to anime shows.
Speaker 1Yeah, it might only be an anime thing, like I mean like the the when they hit an anime con, they're like bam, pull that bitch out yeah, well, I mean because, again, the shirts that they had for, uh, celebration japan were a lot different than the ones that they normally have.
Speaker 2The han one was, I feel like that one were a lot different than the ones that they normally have the Han one was, I feel like that one was a lot different than the ones that they normally carry or normally have.
Speaker 4Yeah, you know, know your audience know your demographic Makes sense, but still it would have. I mean it would have sold.
Speaker 2I will say I always I feel bad going through the artist alley at like cons like this, because like it's a ton, like when we do, like san diego, or like even celebration or whatever, like they're all of those people that are there are known not even like known, but they're licensed for brands already.
Speaker 2Generally right. But I noticed when we were walking around through rose city is a lot of those people are just fucking grinding like. They're just like hey, here's my shit, here's my. You know, this is my universe, this is like stuff that I've created. I respect the shit out of that because it's like you know you, you're trying to fucking come into an environment where it's like everybody knows fucking marvel and dc and idw and you know like image.
Speaker 3You know if you're not trying to get shit off the ground yeah.
Speaker 2So you're trying to like create this whole thing that you own, but then I'm also kind of like I just don't have the money to like support all of that either, like I don't know. So I feel bad because I want to support those people, because that grind is not fucking easy, but on the other hand I'm like like trying to pick what you're gonna support versus not.
Speaker 1Support is also like a big challenge, you know but again, when you're turning your uh, your billion dollar powerball, you're just blessing artistically.
Speaker 2No shit I'll just buy all of your stuff um but I mean again, I respect the grind dude because some of those people got like setups and you know that they've put a ton of time and effort into getting their their universe, you know, created and set up but it was something I hadn't really thought about or hadn't realized until I was at Rose City this year was like oh yeah, there's a lot of people who are just fucking grinding.
Speaker 1And then some motherfucker comes along and invents ugly ass labubus, and they're a billionaire. No, shit.
Speaker 2Dude labubus were all over the place too.
Speaker 1If you knew what K-pop Demon Hunters was, you would have seen that everywhere too. Probably.
Speaker 2yeah, If you knew what K-pop Demon Hunters was. You would have seen that everywhere too, probably yeah, yeah, I saw it.
Speaker 4SDCC was that stupid demon cat-looking dog thing.
Speaker 2Well, they had.
Speaker 1His name was.
Speaker 2Derpy, is it Demon Slayer? I think Demon Slayer is also another.
Speaker 4Demon Slayer is yeah, because their movie comes out Friday.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, then that's why they had the chick with the bamboo in her mouth right, yeah, well, they had a that way.
Speaker 4They had a booth, they had a they had a booth where they were giving.
Speaker 2They had a booth where they were giving out drinks so you go and get in line, and they had drinks that I think were named out. It was like boba tea, but it was all flavors oh named after the different characters. Okay I'm like I'm not gonna wait in that line, like, like the tangero, tangerine or something like that.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, but good on them for having a quirk, because, I mean again, there's not that many people who are doing drinks and shit at those types of events. So even if you're just doing little cups, it's better than nothing.
Speaker 4Yeah, Demon Slayer is the other thing that I'm catching myself up on Just because the movie's coming up. Right, I am eight episodes to go to finish that one, so that shouldn't be a problem. Nice. They're only like 20, 30 minute episodes. It varies, like you'll have a 45 minute episode and then a 23 minute episode, it's like okay, okay, mandalorian, yeah, for real, there we go. Mandalorian. It's like, alright, this is some Disney Plus shit. I get it.
Speaker 2Going back to the TV real quick, Lou. What is your thoughts on the Good Place as you've progressed, now that you know what the reality is and stuff?
Speaker 4Now that it's done and now that I finished it, I thought it was really good. Again, it was curious how they were going to take this anywhere after the first season reveal Right, and they were able to do so. I still trip out every time I see Jason versus the Masters, so it's like I still can't process this.
Speaker 1But now you know how he played Flip it and I watched the Good Place first, and now this motherfucker is yoked and cutting off Padawan heads.
Speaker 2Why would?
Speaker 1Jason Mendoza do that.
Speaker 4For real. You know, my first thought Al is when he kills fucking little hottie.
Speaker 2X-23.
Speaker 4Yeah, I'm all like portals. I'm like, oh man.
Speaker 2The only thing that Jason Mendoza was good at was throwing Molotov cocktails in the backs of boats.
Speaker 4Oh my God, that was so wild. When it got to the end and everybody was like, okay, I'm done. It was like wait a minute. All he was waiting for was to have the perfect game of Madden Yep, okay.
Speaker 3I'm out, I'm like, oh my God.
Speaker 4No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2Overall, though, very well done, very well done again, I'm gonna go to my grave, with janet being the best tv character ever not a girl, um janet not a robot exactly.
Speaker 4Janet really was awesome, even Annoying ass Tahani. I started liking her towards the last.
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4She started off like oh my god, yeah, exactly, oh shit. But yeah, that was well done. I would say honestly, the judge was probably the worst character, if anything. I get what her role was supposed to be and they got the right actors for it. I just didn't like that character. I mean, she acts her ass off. I like her, she's fine. It's just the character of the judge, but thankfully, she needed a judge.
Speaker 2She wasn't like a dominant part of no at all, not at all.
Speaker 4Just that little middle section where they're trying to resolve that shit. So wasn't anything too crazy, but, yeah, absolutely glad I watched it. I didn't realize it was so old, I didn't realize it was like a 2016 show. The only downside and I did and this was pretty obvious, I'm sure you guys noticed it too politics.
Speaker 4The last season they went left for sure in the sense of anti-right. It was like what happened? I was like but, but the president was the president from the first season and they didn't really do anything with it. And then they get to the last season. It's like okay, this mofo's out the door, let's just go all off. It was like unnecessary. I was like it's like unnecessary, but okay, I get it. You know that's tv for you. You know tv's mostly left and and and you know more power to you. That's why your ratings suck, but it is what it is, but that. But I did notice it. I did not notice it one bit the first three seasons, but that fourth season it was like oh, they brought politics into this. All right, unnecessary, but it didn't ruin the show for me, it just noticed it. That's all Good show. I don't care that, all being said, I don't care what side you are, left or right, middle, far, left, far right watch this show Good place.
Speaker 1It was, I enjoyed it yeah.
Speaker 2The boyfriend that her soulmate. Every single time he came in the room he was like, oh sorry, shirt listed. Yeah, he'd come in the room and he'd be like, oh shit, sorry.
Speaker 4I have to go to the gym.
Speaker 2Do you have to take your shirt off to go to the gym?
Speaker 4Well, Derek, who had just been a head at that point. Oh, that was hilarious and Mindy's still like enough.
Speaker 2Mindy was pretty cool. I'm Derek.
Speaker 4Yeah folks, good show, I don't even know. Like I said, I'll finish Demon Slayer and then I'll finish DS9 by the end of the month or so, and then I don't know what's. I'll try to mix in these other ones in between. For example, I was going to say never mind, it's football season.
Speaker 2Sunday and Saturdays are taking up.
Speaker 4No, no, no, it's not that. Some of these I watch with little girl. She's only here Sunday, monday, tuesday that's two football days, which means Tuesday if we don't do it, and she's only here, Sunday, Monday. Tuesday and that's two football days, yep, which means Tuesday. If we don't do a Tightwad Tuesday movie, well, there's no movies out, so you're good. Yeah, so it'll be Tuesday. Maybe watch the now three episodes of Peacemaker and then, I don't know, twisted Metal, alien Earth, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1Alien Earth is so good. The last episode was like its own movie. It was like watching the original Alien over again.
Speaker 4Alright, I just might watch that one now. You just watch it on a ring.
Speaker 3You're at your place, watch it. I'm at my place.
Speaker 4I'll watch it. We'll talk about it later. Yeah, but I can't sit here. I mean by the the time it'll be february after football season before I can get around to some of this stuff hey, I want to watch that one with you.
Speaker 1No, you need to. You need to pick your show, your couple show and then everybody else just on their own give her the list and be like look what are we watching together?
Speaker 4yeah, you get to pick one.
Speaker 2What I might or might not watch the rest with you, but this is the one we're definitely watching together. Everything else is free game.
Speaker 4Yeah, and honestly, for me I don't care which one is picked, because I probably wouldn't watch anything If I'm watching it by myself. That's not true. I was going to say I'm going to wait until it's all done anyway, but I don't know. Alien Earth I really want to get into.
Speaker 2Twisted Metal is over, so I can just finish that one. Yeah, I don't know if they're doing this. They did leave themselves open for a season three afterwards. So it'll be interesting to see if they actually I don't think they've announced if they've actually picked it up for a season three or not twisted metal yeah, yeah okay, stew I did hear what you got here went wednesday not coming out till 2027 yeah
Star Wars News and Upcoming Shows
Speaker 1next season the third season.
Speaker 2Yeah, netflix is fucking stupid dude well, and even then they're breaking up this season. Right, they're doing a bunch, and then they're like taking a holiday break or some shit not quite it
Speaker 1came back already. It came back, oh yeah it came out this week.
Speaker 4This week, uh was the finale.
Speaker 2They did a bunch and then they're taking like a break.
Speaker 1Yeah they split it in two.
Speaker 2Yeah, so yeah they basically the beginning of in two.
Speaker 1Yeah, so they came out at the beginning of August or something, and then it came out this week.
Speaker 4They did it, so you had to have two months worth of subscriptions versus just the one.
Speaker 1So, they realized dropping everything out once is not helping them out.
Speaker 4Although five years isn't helping either, it's true, If I was one of those people who did that or I didn't bother I probably would have waited until September. I'm going to have to wait two months. I'll have to wait until September.
Speaker 1Wait until it's all done.
Speaker 4With everything else that I've been waiting on. Have one month of binging and then see what something good comes out. I guess for most of those people it'll be Stranger Does Disney plus Star Wars, marvel have any shows coming out?
Speaker 1Does Disney plus Star Wars, marvel have any shows coming out Zombies?
Speaker 2is coming out.
Speaker 1Yeah, okay, I think that's it. And then I think, Wonder man is at the end of the year.
Speaker 2It's coming out eventually, right, they haven't announced it. That's not until next year or the year after yeah, that's a while.
Speaker 4Is anything on the calendar for this year? I don't, I can't think of anything else.
Speaker 1Wonder man and zombies?
Speaker 4I don't think there's any Star Wars until Mando and Grogu oh, no Visions.
Speaker 1Season 3, I think comes out, oh Visions, you're right. That's December though isn't it. I think so, yeah, yeah, december 10th or something like that, something I didn't get. The first trailer with Avatar that makes sense. Teaser with Avatar that would make sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think they're just saving everything up for that.
Speaker 2Star Wars Vision Season 3 is October 29th.
Speaker 1Hells yeah.
Speaker 2And then Mando and Grogu is May 22nd, and then Shadow Lords is 2026. Starfighter is May 28th 2027. And everything else is in development or unknown.
Speaker 4That's Star Wars and Marvel, wonder man movie or show Disney Plus show. Okay, that nobody asked.
Speaker 1Whatever it has bringing back fucking Trevor Slattery, so I don't care Anything with him and I'm there. Who's?

Speaker 4Yeah, okay, okay, so it's the week after con. Thankcon.
Speaker 1Thank God we didn't actually sleep for Comic-Con once.
Speaker 2Sure, that's what we'll do Punisher Special for 2026. Vision 2026. Secret Wars will be 2027. X-men 97, Season 2, they have not given a date yet. Wow, that's surprising um your friendly neighborhood. Spider-man season 2. Undated blade. Undated untitled x-men movie. Undated armor wars do they have a date.
Speaker 4Uh, damn it. What was it?
Speaker 2oh, the third across the universe, spider-man stuff, whatever no, I think they took that off of the release calendar Cause like they were having a bunch of problems with it. I think.
Speaker 1I just saw that um homeboy was just recording his lines for miles again recently, so they're working on it. Okay, I thought Sony's probably like sorry, go ahead. Sony's probably like let's time this out so that Spider-Man comes out, and then so we don't lose our license we can put out part three.
Speaker 2I could see that that's smart business, according to whatever AI generated bullshit. The third film in the Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse trilogy, titled Spider-Man Beyond the Spider-Verse, is scheduled for release in the United States on June 25th 2027. The release date was confirmed after the film's previous 2024 release date was delayed due to the strikes. The sag afra and writers guild strikes. Okay the film immediately after the events of across the spider-verse, with miles, morales trapped and, on the run, an alternate universe, while attempting to see the spider cat that's across.
Speaker 4That's a crock of shit, because they were supposed to come out that third movie the year after. They already had shit.
Speaker 1Find those little trailers where they teased us, those two movies.
Speaker 4Yeah, so that's a crock, so 2027.
Speaker 2Allegedly as of today, during this podcast.
Speaker 4It'll all change.
Speaker 1It always does, which is an actual news source.
Speaker 4What if?
Speaker 1That's what we do here at Vaguely Inconsistent. We report the news.
Speaker 2In the headlines today.
Speaker 4You kind of missed that, stan, that's a good one.
Speaker 2Jack needs to add that to his to my soundboard.
Speaker 1Yeah done, freaking done headlines of today.
Speaker 4Headlines of today, funko Digital Pops retire yep. I'm not mad about it the digital ones, yeah, the NFTs. I'm not mad about it. I gotta spend all my money. What am I gonna do?
Speaker 1What was the last set? I need to do it.
Speaker 4Our last set was Disney Villains. Eh, you know what? The set before that was Thundercats. I'll just double up on some Thundercats.
Speaker 1That's true, I don't think. The redemption, yeah, you gotta find whichever one hasn't had a redemption date yet.
Speaker 4A lot there's like four or five without yet, but I don't care about the Marvel one.
Speaker 1Their lifestyle was weak as fuck.
Speaker 4Twelve different figures. And all that, but no, I'll use my leftovers for probably extra.
Speaker 3I'll use my leftovers for probably extra.
Speaker 4I'll probably buy the royalty for Disney villains because it was a Maleficent, franny Funko is Maleficent, and then the rest of it. I'll just get extra freaking Thundercats or maybe anime, because I did get the anime Grail, so maybe I'll just buy the other ones to finish the set. Yeah, not when you sell the whole set together. But, yeah, uh, NFTs, digital Funko. Well, Funko has been garbage for the last three years.
Speaker 2They're trying to write the book Two years, two years for sure I watch a couple of YouTube videos of guys who are going out kind of doing toy hunting to just kind of give people an idea about like kind of what's different types of stories and stuff and like they go into like every single ross or not everything, every single ross that they go into is just like two, three shelves of just dozens of pops that, yeah, and it's all the same, you know dozen of them that which was part of the problem.
Speaker 4They took away the collectability factor of it by overproducing everything and reproducing everything this one's vaulted. Let's make 5,000 more so we can make more money.
Speaker 1Mm-hmm and piss off our fan base.
Speaker 4And now your fans are like we don't want your stuff and if you do, if we do want it, we'll wait till you put it on sale. That's what I've done, unless it's an exclusive. All the other commons are like 10% off. No, I'll wait until it's 50%.
Speaker 4Like the last several that I've gotten from a Mandalorian collection, all the commons. Anyway, I have not paid for one full price 30, 40, 50% off. It's almost time to log off. Anyway. It's been an hour, I'm tired, we're done Now. We're just rambling anyway, so we'll look up our homework. We'll look up our homework and we'll finish our trip.

Fantasy Football and Week One Results
Speaker 2I was supposed to win you know, normally I was supposed to win. You know what Normally people lose by 50 is when they have somebody that was injured and they didn't swap them out.
Speaker 4That is not what happened here.
Speaker 1That is not what happened, folks?
Speaker 4He just got it handed to him.
Speaker 2He just got it from both ends. Jack needs to change his team name to Finger Cuffs, because that's what fucking happened to him this week.
Speaker 1Fucking Burrow Should have played Chase.
Speaker 4All the people who had the Chase Burrow stack. First of all, I could have played Baker.
Speaker 1Mayfield, I would have won Ish, it wouldn't have been as bad.
Speaker 4Okay, that's better. I was like come on now.
Speaker 1Burrow got me 8.82. Mayfield was 22.5.
Speaker 4So 14-point difference and you lost at 56? Yeah, okay so 42 then yeah, 42 would have been a better number. It's the ideal number. It's the answer.
Speaker 1And fucking AJ Brown didn't play. He was supposed to go at 12.5. He got 1.3.
Speaker 4He got one catch for three yards dog.
Speaker 3They barely even targeted him on Thursday.
