Star Wars Cards & Mando Movie: Speculation & Predictions
Send us a text message! Tell us what you think!
The lines between fandom and cynicism blur as we take a deep dive into the freshly released Mandalorian and Grogu movie trailer. While the nostalgic Western-inspired poster earns praise, we question whether this Star Wars spin-off can truly succeed at the box office. Will casual viewers need to watch three seasons of television to understand the film, or can it stand alone? One bold prediction suggests the movie could lose $50-100 million despite high production values—sparking a heated debate about the future of Star Wars on the big screen.
The conversation shifts to a spontaneous unboxing of Costco-exclusive Star Wars trading cards, with each reveal generating excitement and occasional disappointment. From character cards featuring Grogu to refractor variations and Skeleton Crew previews, we explore the collectible aspects while sharing stories of our personal Star Wars memorabilia journeys.
A substantial portion of the episode transforms into a comprehensive theme park showdown when one host recounts their recent Universal Studios Halloween Horror Night experience. The detailed breakdown of Five Nights at Freddy's and Fallout haunted houses leads to a larger discussion about value for money between Disney and Universal theme parks. With $500 spent for just two people and nearly all attractions completed by lunchtime, the comparison raises interesting questions about what makes a theme park truly worth visiting.
We wrap things up with recommendations for current streaming shows, including enthusiastic praise for Twisted Metal and Alien Earth, plus a preview of upcoming Star Wars Funko Pops that have caught our attention. Whether you're planning your next theme park adventure, wondering if the Mandalorian movie will be worth seeing in theaters, or simply looking for entertainment recommendations, this episode delivers with equal parts passion and skepticism.

My little R2 calendar I keep over here. I think it said like the 5th or something and I just had to change it to the 22nd, because I only change it on days that we pod.
Speaker 2:Because you're over there. Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 3:Because that's the only time that you're ever sitting in front of your computer.
Speaker 1:So yeah, so it must have been on the 7th. At least I didn't have to change the month, that would have been embarrassing. Been on the 7th At least.
Speaker 2:I didn't have to change the month. That would have been embarrassing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it would have.
Speaker 2:For us.
Speaker 1:Welcome back, everybody.
Speaker 3:Welcome back to Vaguely Inconsistent and that's what we're showing you right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, very vague, inconsistent, yeah.
Speaker 2:I think it makes the most sense, because of who we are, to start off with the Mando and Groku trailer Of course I mean okay, I saw the poster first, I didn't hate it.
Speaker 1:I like the callback to the old ass New Hope poster. I kind of dug that. Flip side, though, is Drew Struzan ruined Star Wars movie posters when he started with the special editions and went through the prequels, so nothing will ever live up to those. But I don't hate the poster. I like the callback to the westerns, which is what Mando is supposed to be it makes sense.
Speaker 2:Go ahead, luke. No, no, no, that's it.
Speaker 3:I was just on that particular topic, that theme with the poster and what Mando is supposed to have been in season one, season two, I think the poster makes sense, my only problem with the poster is the stuff at the bottom kind of felt tacked on Like the like this is the way, part, like the thing at the top that was like Pedro Pascal is Din Djarjar and grugo is himself, and then the, the flowing of the, the main, the main, um uh, title and everything I thought was cool then you look at the bottom and it's like, oh, we should put the like the slogan of the movie or whatever.
Speaker 3:So I kind of felt like that was tacked on a little bit um, and maybe it's a it felt a little busy to me. Like what's like, okay, well, it is I'm looking at it now.
Speaker 2:It is it's busy, no, no but you know what it?
Speaker 1:it gets the point across.
Speaker 1:You got yeah up there, you got grogu, you got rot of the hut, you got motherfucking zeb in the house and the return of the razor crest. Well, I, I don't know, I don't know. And then I didn't see the trailer until Shit. I sent that to you guys at like 6.30. I saw the trailer like 15 minutes later. I don't hate it as a teaser because it's just like hey, look at all this cool shit that Mando and Grogu were doing. Oh, look, there's Sigourney Weaver, there's Zeb kicking ass like zeb do. Oh, and the razor crest is back.
Speaker 2:so I don't hate it but I don't know, it didn't show me anything. I'm like oh snap, I gotta go see it. Well, that's kind of how I took it I when I I saw it about two hours ago and I I saw it and was like this tells me nothing about the movie, which not necessarily how a teaser is supposed to be, but it's not a proper trailer, so maybe it shouldn't have told me what it's about Exactly.
Speaker 2:And I saw it and was like all right. Saw it a second time, just back to back, just let the video replay itself, and then I was like all right, I'm over it, I don't need to see this again. Show me what the movie's about, and then I'll care.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I mean, it's what Nine months out, so this is honestly all we need for this movie right now.
Speaker 2:Honestly, I'd rather not have had it.
Speaker 1:True, but they're saying they released it to counter Kimmelgate.
Speaker 2:That makes sense.
Speaker 1:Because I honestly thought we wouldn't get anything until Avatar.
Speaker 2:Right, exactly that would be the no teaser, unless that's going to be a teaser during Avatar, which they wouldn't have done. They would have given us a full two minutes. Yeah, but with drama Disney had put themselves under recently. I could see them doing that to try to drum up interest again.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, try to help themselves out this was very similar to the um, if not exactly as the one that I saw, kind of the, the bootleg one, the bootleg youtube video. That's been that, the last kind of few events that um disney's been part of, the cons that they've been part of they They've been showing a Mando and Grogu like kind of hype package during their panels and I don't it's been a while since I watched it because I was, for it's been four or five months. They had something I think it was like one of like the South American shows, like Brazil or something like that. They had a big Disney panel, but they don't have cell phones, so yeah and so yeah.
Speaker 3:But it was like one of those like a guy, like you know, between two heads type of thing. So right, shake your butt cam. Yeah, so this was reminding me a lot of that.
Speaker 3:So I'm wondering if that didn't even bother really putting anything together they were just like okay, well, let's just get this out, um, which would also kind of explain the chaotic nature of the poster. Because again, with the way star wars works these days, we're going to get five million posters. All of the people on this poster are all going to get character posters and there's going to be 10 different varieties of that poster. I guarantee you it's going to be the same thing with the movie. We're going to get a bunch of character trailers and that type of thing.
Speaker 3:They definitely don't shy away from the inundate you.
Speaker 1:It's been like 10 years since we've had a Star Wars movie, so who knows how they're going to do it this time.
Speaker 3:And then they're going to do the unboxing video, and then they're going to do of course they're gonna do like the unboxing video, and then they're gonna do the red carpet, and they're gonna, you know. So they'll definitely uh, overkill with with the amount of media that we get.
Speaker 1:So but as long as the movie's good, don't even matter it'll, it'll, it'll bomb.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna say it right now, nine months early it's gonna bomb hayton, but that's uh, it was forged for imax. It'll bomb. I'm going to say it right now, nine months early it's going to bomb Peyton, it was forged for IMAX.
Speaker 1:You have to go see it in IMAX 2.
Speaker 2:Although, it's going to be pretty. I'm not going to say it. It's going to be very pretty. It's going to be the prettiest bomb ever. Man. It's just with the way Season 3 played out, the way all the ratings dropped, the way it's just a niche audience where not all star wars fans are going to be into this, and then all the fans who aren't star wars fans, who don't know what the hell's going on, aren't going to care about it. Uh, they're going to spend 300 million dollars and they're going to get back about 500 million and which is minus ticket fees and everything half of that. They're going to lose about $50 million, $100 million on this movie. The movie could be good and if it is, a lot of people would be like, oh, I'll just wait until it streams. It'll be on streaming in six weeks. Why am I going to spend $80 for my family to go and I can just watch it in six weeks and be patient?
Speaker 2:But I can't, because I already canceled my Disney Plus subscription because they fired Kim some people, other people, the people like like the people out here that have done that and are boycotting Disney and magic, spider-man, magic, because of the whole Kimmel drama, they still pirate. Their issue is not giving Disney money. So they're like, oh, we'll just pirate and watch it. Because I was like, so are you going to stop watching Monday Night Football? Then are you going to stop watching NFL Network and Red Zone? They're like, oh no, we're not doing that. I'm like, okay, hypocrite, so you're not boycotting Apple, but the point is— that would be a true boycott is to not watch it at all.
Speaker 2:Right, right, If you're not 100% in a boycott, you're not boycotting, You're doing something else. You or something else, a half-cut, I don't care, but it's not a boycott unless you do it 100%. And to be fair to those people who believe in boycott like that, more power to them, Like, if those people are like, well, I'll boycott this little bit, quote-unquote boycott. For those people and their integrity they have none, first of all. But for the principle of the matter, that little bit is better than not at all. So kudos to them for at least doing that little bit.
Speaker 2:But I just think that the movie is just it's not a main Star Wars movie. In my opinion, like the way the original trilogy was. When you go back if they ever go back and do that Dawn of the Jedi movie trilogy or anything, Knights of the Old Republic, anything like that, where there isn't already an established TV show or whatever the case may be, I think that movie again, long as it's written well, acted well, will go over very well. I think this movie just won't because it's a spinoff of a TV show.
Speaker 1:It's going to depend on where they pick it up, because at the end of season three, din was done, right. He was just chilling on his planet. The Mandos moved in and they were just going to chill and he was going to go back to Bounty Hunting, right? So really, anything that happened before that you shouldn't have to know to watch the movie Will you get more enjoyment out of it? Yes. But movie will you get more enjoyment out of it?
Speaker 2:yes but in theory, if they do it right you don't have to have watched it if they if they do it right 100 agree with you. They should not. You should not have to have what? What is it? The, the prerequisite assignment or whatever they that phrase people use these days. You shouldn't need all that to watch this movie and enjoy it.
Speaker 2:And, like you said, the star wars fans or general fans of mando and grogu that did watch it they get a bonus. There might be a something here or there oh, that was from season two, oh that but it shouldn't be relevant to need that information. It's like you shouldn't have to go watch three seasons and book a boba fett to understand the movie, and if they do that, it might go over. Well, I mean, word of mouth obviously will go a long way too. If it turns out, it's like there's going to be a bunch of people I'm not going to bother, I'm not going to bother, I'm not going to bother. And then you have holy shit, that movie was awesome. Week two is going to have a nice spike where, instead of having the typical 60% drop off at the theater it may be at more of a 40-50% because word of mouth kept it going.
Speaker 2:I just don't have a lot of faith in him. But we shall see.
Speaker 3:Duke, that's also the impression that I got from the trailer is that they were like the trailer had no, virtually no, carryover from the show. It seemed like Like, besides the Zeb, you know, piece of it, and Grogu and Mando, of course it doesn't seem like there's a ton and of course there'll be cameos, probably of people, but it seems like it's going back to distilling down, to being focused on them and that type of thing. So all the enemy, the bad guy, the Rod of the Hut and all that kind of stuff is all stuff that wasn't in it, had nothing to do with the, the tv show, right, I mean, they're even bringing back the razor crest which had like a symbolic, you know, explosion, right, destruction. Right now they're bringing that back because the razor crest 2 or whatever, um, and so I feel like the movie is going to, at least from the trailer. Again, I haven't read anything about it as far as the storyline or what the story is about it or anything. I don't even know if they put out a synopsis for it. Again, the trailer gave the impression that it was going to be very isolated from the series.
Speaker 3:You didn't see Bo-Katan, you didn't see any Jack Black, there weren't anybody? Whoa, whoa, whoa. She's not. You didn't see any Jack Black, or let's go get in. You know, there weren't. There weren't anybody.
Speaker 1:Oh, she's not in it. I'm out, fuck that movie.
Speaker 3:Now we're boycotting, but my, my point is, I was just using them as like okay, all of these people were in the series. It doesn't look like. I mean again, like Jack said, they might get referenced, but it looks like they're going to make it so you don't have to watch the series.
Speaker 1:As long as there's a big-ass statue of Carl Weathers, it doesn't matter Exactly.
Speaker 3:So I mean they're even bringing back Babu Frick. So, like you know, like, Babu Frick's.
Speaker 1:That is him actually.
Speaker 2:That is actually him how are we about to ask or is this a speech? Yeah, no one of the Skywalker guys.
Speaker 1:He's like C-3PO's oldest friend, is in the trailer. So yeah, nice Shot, baby was.
Speaker 3:Bobby. Hey, hey, hey, hey. So finally I can be a. It's good that he's finally in a movie. It's good that he's finally in a Star Wars movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah instead of just memes and t-shirts, right? That's crazy.
Speaker 3:I never quite understood that, because he wasn't in any of the movies.
Speaker 2:All this merchandise for the people wasn't in the movie, they just pulled him at Galaxy's Edge.
Speaker 1:That's kind of cool that they brought him in Smart marketing.
Speaker 2:Bring him back in.
Speaker 3:They've been laying the groundwork for Mandu and Grogu for 10 years.
Speaker 2:Good job, play the long game. Play the long game.
Speaker 1:But yeah, no, because we know who rata the hut is, because we watched the fucking clone wars movie 20 years ago, right. So I mean he wasn't jacked like that, but still no. So I think I hope that that's how it goes. If you've watched clone wars, you know who rata the hut is. You're like oh, yeah's like when Gideon showed up with the Darksaber. You're like, oh shit, it is on. But everybody else is like, oh, that's a cool Blacklight Saber.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then I slapped every last one of them. Yep what is wrong with y'all.
Speaker 2:Lou ran out of baby powder For real Just held up a napkin behind a dark saber and slapped everybody on the way in. Yeah, I mean, we'll see Again. I just Maybe part of it isn't even just being a stalwart, Maybe it's just part of movies in general. When was the last time movies have really been worth a damn? And I don't mean for us as audience, I mean for the studios Profitable movies, these blockbusters or anything that's supposed to be fantastic. They just don't do well.
Speaker 1:Not quite sure why.
Speaker 2:But yeah, movies just don't do well anymore.
Speaker 3:Well, I think part of it too is that, especially like superhero movies, have not done themselves any services at all in the last five to six years. So you, I mean you have good movies like, I mean, fantastic four was a good movie, thunderbolts was a good movie, but both of them suffered at the box office, I think, because of the last four or five years of fatigue with it.
Speaker 1:I think, yeah, and like and like lou had said that, hey, I'm just gonna wait six weeks and I'm gonna be able of the last four or five years of movies.
Speaker 3:There's legit fatigue with it, I think, and like Lou had said that, hey, I'm just going to wait six weeks and I'm going to be able to see it at home for free or see it.
Speaker 3:You know, type of thing Like why do I want to go and deal with the theater and deal with the fucking hassle at the theater? Because that's basically what it boils down to. Now is, these days, the theater is just a hassle to go to. I could to. Now is these days, the theater is just a hassle to go to. I could sit at home, I don't. Okay, cool, nobody, we're not. We're not having the conversations about movies that we used to like, when we'd come out of a movie and everybody'd be like oh my god, let's talk about the movie. Like that type of dialogue doesn't seem to happen this much anymore it does.
Speaker 2:It just happens in a different way, like how woke was that movie?
Speaker 3:not how good was that? I can honestly say I've never actually had that conversation no, not us personally, but like that's the you go as soon as you watch a movie you said you watch a movie.
Speaker 2:You go look at the news reports. I know how is this movie blah blah blah bitching about it's too woke. Blah blah blah is bitchy and it's not woke enough. It's like, okay, great, but how was the movie?
Speaker 1:nobody talks about that that's funny, though, because as much as I hate being around people, I still like going to the movies I hate people, but I like the seats.
Speaker 2:It's weird yeah I do, yeah, I mean we still go to the movies, but we only.
Speaker 3:I can't tell you the last time that we went to a first, like a first night, first run movie, like we'll wait until until Tuesday, when it's fucking tight, when it's half price, you know. So then, at least dealing with the hassle of the shitty people behind you kicking your seat and the baby crying when you're in a fucking R rated movie, like okay, like at least I can say I only spent $7 instead of 15 or $18 for this movie, but my point is it's easier, like the difference between me paying $20 for something versus the level of okay, the quality of the popcorn.
Speaker 3:then, right, like on Tuesday, I don't expect to get fresh popcorn.
Speaker 1:Friday, I fucking expect fresh popcorn, you know like, we got this leftover bag, so you can have that.
Speaker 3:Yeah tuesday I know I'm eating friday's popcorn. It's fine because it's 50 off.
Speaker 2:Right, I got it going around to the front grabbing that big ass bag you can take to go. They're just dumping it in their machine Warming it up a little bit.
Speaker 3:They have the machine going in the background with the AI. Popcorn noises Pop, pop, pop, yeah so but I mean it'll be interesting to see. Nine months is a long time from now.
Speaker 2:Who knows Different people by then?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean. Who knows what the Duke might be a dad by then?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean who knows what the yeah Duke might be a dad by then.
Speaker 3:Yeah hey, you never know.
Speaker 1:You never know, you never know.
Speaker 3:My sock will be pretty.
Speaker 1:Sock had a baby.
Speaker 3:It's good, because I needed new socks, and now I'm it's good because, I needed new socks and now. I'm so I guess, since we're talking about Star Wars, we can talk about the other thing now that's been sitting on my desk for like two and a half weeks your cards, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:I went to Costco to go look for the Disneyland tickets. You guys both got emails for cheap tickets that day.
Speaker 2:That was crazy Right.
Speaker 3:I get home and literally it's like bing and I'm like wait, what? So while I was at Costco they had. Can you guys see that? I don't know A little bit. Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 2:It's a little glary. That's way bigger than I thought it was going to be. Thank you, Luke. Luke has a big box.
Speaker 3:So now I can open it Because I've been waiting Because we were going to do it on the pod. So, yay, we're now a card box. We're now a. We're now a card box open. We're now. We're now a card. We're now a card breaking station. Uh, card breaking channel. My, my understanding, the video that I've, the few videos that I watched on this. There's not like a ton of like super good stuff in it like there's.
Speaker 3:There's like a costco exclusive impacts, and then you could, you could get super, I mean I guess you could possibly but the few videos that I watched that talked about it or or did, did it an opening on their own, like they never got anything outside of, like numbered cards or whatever the costco exclusive. So if you look here, so there's like 12 packs there's like 12 packs of packs could be good, the 12 packs of regular cards.
Speaker 3:There's like the big giant die cut card, and then there's four packs. Those are other, those are costco exclusive. Yeah, costco exclusive.
Speaker 2:So I think. So back to what duke was saying, to set this all up y'all, so we're going to disney in december, december and Costco had a deal to get tickets a couple of tickets, two, three days, a food voucher, blah, blah, blah. So I don't, and it was only Costco's on the West Coast. I don't have Costco anyway and I'm in Colorado, so it wouldn't have helped me out. Duke went to go check it out so we could get three of these bad boys, so we can save some money. Well, they didn't have them there, it wasn't available, but these cards were, so naturally Duke stepped up, grabbed himself some. I don't know, jack, did you ever get any? Because I know you said you thought about getting an attack yourself.
Speaker 1:I did see him like a month or two ago. Last time we went All right, so we're going to.
Speaker 3:This is probably going to get Ooh, wow, okay. I just had to hold the box up for it to really fuck up the Focus, the focus, ooh, okay.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:Going to have to reset that.
Speaker 1:When we're monetized, we'll.
Speaker 3:All right.
Speaker 1:We'll get real cameras.
Speaker 3:We're going to spend probably 15 minutes going through these. I'm going to try to go through them pretty quick. We're going to do the die-cut card first. I saw the Kylo.
Speaker 1:Ren one, I'm sitting here watching.
Speaker 2:I'm all leaning in because I have no idea what's about to happen here. I know about the car. I didn't know what came with it, none of that.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, it's very Acolyte-themed. Well, we don't got to worry about the Acolyte Damn.
Speaker 2:Get back to me in 15 minutes.
Speaker 3:I'll be back in 15 minutes. I'll be back after this is my die cut. And then there's the back.
Speaker 2:That sock is definitely getting pregnant tonight.
Speaker 3:I do find it funny that they want this to be a hanger or something, so there's a place for you to put your Never mind A little string in there. Put it on your.
Speaker 1:Christmas tree.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, I was like couldn't you put a push pin? That way you don't go through her head, you just go through the little holder piece so you can put it up on a wall without having to.
Speaker 3:Costco packs or regular packs? First guys which ones.
Speaker 2:Regular. Save the exclusive stuff for last.
Speaker 1:Yeah, save the exclusive stuff for last.
Speaker 3:Alright, so I have all these, Come on autographs. I'm not. What are?
Speaker 2:we looking for? What are we?
Speaker 3:hoping for here. Hang on a sec, let's see. Let me look at the back here.
Speaker 2:What's the good stuff? The one of 4,000.
Speaker 3:All right, give me a second. I got to brighten up the lights, which is going to screw up the camera even more.
Speaker 2:Naturally.
Speaker 3:My camera was not. My camera was not made to open packs of cards, obviously, obviously, all right, let's see. What do we have here? Um failure to communicate let's see for approximate odds per pack. Uh go to topscom, mother, they don't. They don't list the uh may. It may include redemption cards, which generally carry a uh 10 year expiration date actual uh. Actual dates will uh vary.
Speaker 3:Detail on topscom, so I don't know we'll have to look it up. Jack will put it up on the screen because he's going to get better about um doing graphics, btl what the hell's btl all right, let's see.
Speaker 1:So the base set is 200 cards. All characters there are printing plate book cards. Oh shit, okay, that's the second set. There's 200 of those. There's hoth fractor short print. Uh, that's another 200 cards. Arabesh Shortprint 1975 Tribute. So I imagine they look like the old school ones. There's 50 of those. A Skeleton Crew subset.
Speaker 2:Only 50 made in the world. No, no, no, 50 cards.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:These aren't the odds. These are the subsets.
Speaker 1:There's a 25 card Skeleton Crew set. 25-card Acolyte set. There's an Underworld Oddities Also 25. Star Wars by the number, there's 24 of those. I don't know what the fuck they are, but it's.
Speaker 3:R2,.
Speaker 1:Boba.
Speaker 3:I think it's a paint bynumber. It's like a white card with the black lines and each one has a number, so you can Galactic.
Speaker 1:Graffiti, that sounds fun.
Speaker 2:You're going to ruin your own card. Collectible card.
Speaker 1:Bonus Stage. I don't know how many of those are. There's just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 10 of those Hyper Light, there's 20 of those Actions, 5 of those Comic Fractor, 5 of those, one with the Force, another 5. Then a 25 set of Double Vision, and then we get into this long-ass list of autographs, duo autographs, trio autographs, 1975 tribute autographs and sketch cards.
Speaker 2:Well, my last focus is on one with the force.
Speaker 3:I'm guessing we probably won't have to. Well, jack, if we actually get any of these, you can let us know how many in that set.
Speaker 2:I don't even care how many.
Speaker 1:I don't know what the it didn't even tell me that. I think it does have the odds there's our first card how many cards?
Speaker 2:how many cards per pack? I don't want to see every card. How many cards per pack? I don't want to see every card.
Speaker 3:I want to see the hot. There are five cards per pack, oh, that's not bad. Okay, never mind. So we got Shin Hati Sully Stark. I'm guessing that's one of the bomber pilots from last year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sure. Or a pilot from the Red.
Speaker 3:Salt Sol. Here our first insert Yep Lando baby Lando, Pimp Lando. Well, older would be Pimp Lando, right, that's baby.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3:And then Hux, but I think the difference is like so I think some of the stuff that I, they are shiny. The way the stuff that I watch this is the way the smoke is and stuff. That's what is different. Are these the ones?
Speaker 2:we saw at Celebration.
Speaker 1:I want to say no, alright, pack two. Well, you'll be able to tell what set their end based on their numbers too. Yeah, yeah, alright, we got Mando.
Speaker 3:Oh it's that guy from that movie coming out. That's cool Mayor Maksha's Historian, captain Grodd.
Speaker 2:Some woman in Star Wars.
Speaker 3:And then they also have the debut. If it's the first time they have a little debut. Yes, it's the first time they made a car yeah.
Speaker 2:Of that character.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, jackie, three-hole punch girl. Yeah, bam, bam, and then it's a trap.
Speaker 2:I trip three holes all day long.
Speaker 3:Yeah, let me go through these real quick and just make sure they're all normal numbered. Of course, admiral Ackbar is number one. Come on, oh, that shit might be-. The mayor is a refractor, so it says refractor on there. So that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1:The cards are alphabetical order. Ackbar Ahsoka, anakin, avril.

Speaker 3:Oh, we're getting more now, ben Jarbrano from.
Speaker 2:I wasn't a repeat. Yeah, I wasn't a repeat either. Still not a repeat.

Speaker 3:Yord is a refractor.
Speaker 1:Yord Horde. Let's see we need a Stranger card.
Speaker 3:And Dryden Vos, there we go.
Speaker 1:A little solo Star Wars story love.
Speaker 3:I feel like there's more than 200 characters in Star Wars, so I'm wondering what they use to kind of Well, I just saw that there's two Obi-Wan cards, so I don't know. The real Masumita. Oh, there we go. There's Color by Numbers. That one is 13. That's cool as heck.
Speaker 1:More Skeleton Crew Smee Cassian Alright acceptable.
Speaker 3:And Captain Elf, more Skeleton Crew, smee, cassian All right Acceptable. And Captain Elf, all right.
Speaker 1:But we haven't gotten any throwback cards yet Last pack mojo.
Speaker 3:Well, we kind of got some. I mean, we got Queen Apollon, yep, we got Porg, porg, hell yeah. Why does Porg get a card and isn't just a creature, like he should be a creature card, right. Well, that's the prime Porg, there we go Another. Be sure to send this card to you, lou With that. Porg Bam back to back, Back to back.
Speaker 2:Oh hell yeah, finally some good people.
Speaker 1:No, they're actually bad.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, since you put it like that that is a perspective.
Speaker 2:We have three Costco packs. So are these Costco exclusive packs then?
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:Does that mean everything in the packs only can be got then? Yes, does that mean everything in the packs only can be got at Costco?
Speaker 3:Yes, we're going to have one exclusive and the rest of them is part of the set Supposedly. If you look here, do you see how the smoke at the bottom is different?
Speaker 2:No, put two of them up next to each other.
Speaker 3:You see how.
Speaker 2:Okay, yes, one's red and one's green next to each other. So you see how Back up. Okay, yes, so like One's red and one's green.
Speaker 3:But if you look the way, the smoke curls around what's? The numbering on Kalnaka. Kalnaka is CE-32. Ce-32? Okay, let's see.
Speaker 1:So we got.
Speaker 3:Kalnaka, we have Andara. Oh shit, the other star of the upcoming Mando and Grogu movie oh man. Interesting that he has red as his accenting cloud.
Speaker 2:Hmm, hmm, cassian Andor, yeah, weird and then we're going to finish with Hmm, hmm, uh.
Speaker 3:Cassian and or yeah, weird. And then, uh, we're going to finish with uh the star of season three the demo cards that they put.
Speaker 1:Oh, these are the cards you could get.
Speaker 2:That's cool, and they put Neil right there in front.
Speaker 1:This would be cool, though Stranger in soul autograph duo. That would be a bad-ass card.
Speaker 3:This would be cool, though. Stranger and Soul Autograph Duo. That would be a badass card to get. That would be a card Alright.
Speaker 2:These are all cards that I'm going to put in Luz and Luz Box C-3PO Pocket.
Speaker 3:Where is that person? Skeleton Crew that's the one that sold them out on the the.
Speaker 2:Star.
Speaker 3:Planet On Ryza. We got Soul Soul, all right, and we're gonna finish this pack out with uh, chewbacca, nice, nice, all right. Last chance for my neil card, or else I'm gonna cry get your money back. I know I'm returning. Well, it is costco, I could read. I didn't like the cards that I got. Oh, there we go. There's one one, obi-wan, very nice, they didn't post a checklist for the Costco set. We got Han.
Speaker 2:We have Darth Maul Was that different than the other set Maul.
Speaker 1:Well, Lou, I am glad you asked here. We will see the two differences as we compare and contrast them.
Speaker 2:One's zoomed in Okay.
Speaker 1:And the smoke is different. Yeah, the smoke is the big thing is the smoke.
Speaker 2:Smoke is definitely. Is that all and the?
Speaker 3:clouds in the background are different, so basically everything but the picture and the Sith logo is moved. Yeah, it's up higher Instead of over his shoulder. It's behind yeah, it's over his shoulder instead of behind him. That's some bullshit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, interesting that that's Back in my day when we had to go uphill both ways in the snow to buy trading cards. They were all different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no shit. And then the final card of this unboxing is a is a is a, wow, fix Nix. So yeah, that was kind of cool. I mean those cards are kind of cool, I like them, like for just being kind of.
Speaker 2:That's pretty happy. Man, we surprised, you didn't get Neil, but you got Chewbacca, so that's a win, that's true.
Speaker 3:And Kelnaka and Kelnaka.
Speaker 1:And Kelnaka and Kel Naka and Kel Naka and Kel Naka.
Speaker 3:Well, thank you for indulging me while I open these up.
Speaker 2:Thanks for your patience. It only took you three weeks.
Speaker 3:I know I've been sitting here and I'm just looking at it going, should I?
Speaker 2:just open these. Every day just teasing your ass.
Speaker 1:Every day, every day.
Speaker 3:Every day.
Speaker 2:All right On the Star Wars theme.
Speaker 3:Yeah, let's talk about star wars, since we haven't done that.
Speaker 2:Yet man, are you guys, are you guys?
Speaker 1:uh, all on board with the star wars roosevelt spooky shirts tomorrow we're gonna have to see that shirt that was teased was just I um, I'm not mad at the colors because you know spooky blacklight kind of shit. It'll be cool, but I see what they're doing though. Like, jar, jar is the creature from the Black Lagoon, vader's Frankenstein, so they're like old school, like horror monster, universal monster poses. I don't hate it, but I hope they have something that I like. They're like old school, like horror monster, universal monster poses. I don't hate it, but I hope they have something that I like better.
Speaker 2:At least obviously because of my bias. Yeah, vader, Emperor, was like for me. Like, make that a panel shirt and I'll fucking be all over that. Right, I wouldn't even use my 15% off, if just give me that Right so fast, Yep, but with all the other stuff on it it was like yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 3:Thankfully, the shirts they typically come out with are pretty wide selection. That'll probably be the only shirt that looks like that. Yeah, I did pick up one.
Speaker 2:Just the whole pattern. Like was saying I don't the colors. I'd have been fine if they could have exactly all. It is just vader and the emperor, but doing the frankenstein thing and I'd have been all over. That would have been enough for me. Obviously I agree with you, the the other ones, the other three or four that'll come out tomorrow, will be very different. It's pretty rare that they come out with like, oh, this one looks like this one, except different characters. I don't think I've ever seen that, so it'll be.
Speaker 2:I might actually set an alarm. Usually I don't care. I usually wait for Jack's group text that says, meh, nothing I want. And then I go look, I might actually, because if there's something that's happening, oh it's going to sell out in five minutes. So and duke, I think you have to be even faster, because you keep telling us that the three x's, uh, sell out faster than anything.
Speaker 3:So you might want to set an alarm too well like I told you guys at a comic-con, when they had that one uh con exclusive one, the the traveling con one, they had done a second print of that.
Speaker 3:Drawn in pencil or something, drawn in something like that. They had done a second run of them and they only had one 3X left out of the second run, so that'll be going in the wash to get added to the cycle. I went out and bought some more hangers because I was out of hangers for for my roosevelt. I've been like putting my regular work my old work shirts too like in, like okay, well, this is goodwill, this is goodwill, and now I'm finally running out of I'm running out of shirts that I can do, that too, so that is so funny.
Speaker 2:I I just recently told an old girl about that, I think yesterday, whenever she paid you for the Portman shirt. So after that conversation I was like, oh, check this out. So he's getting rid of his old work shirts and they're going to a donation file because he's using Roosevelt shirts now. And she's like I was going to laugh at that, but I might be doing the same thing. I'm like, oh my effing goodness, I was going to laugh at that, but I might be doing the same thing. I'm like, oh, my effing goodness, she's got enough.
Speaker 1:I swear she's got probably several silver shadows I've worn all mine so far, except for the 8-bit Sesame Street I got last week and Dick in a Box. I haven't had an occasion to wear that one yet. We are getting to holiday season.
Speaker 2:Definitely not work appropriate. I still have a handful that I haven't opened. There's still Last year's that Marvel zombie set that just came out. There was one that came out last year or whatever, and I grabbed one of those and I haven't opened. I still haven't done the either. Panel shirt from Comic-Con Wow, that's still this year's Comic-Con. I think there was another one it's like the one Duke's wearing right now from Japan. Haven't opened that one. The other one from Japan I think it was Luke and Vader from Empire Haven't opened that. All these are still in bag Just like eh, I'll get to them. When I get to them, Maybe I'll crack the sale in December for at least one of them. We'll see. I honestly doubt it, but we'll see. I like the t-shirt aspect in Disney. Maybe I'll need to wear one because there'll be two shirts. I'll always wear an undershirt with those.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I know it's California, but December might be cooler. It wasn't last year, so A light jacket wouldn't be bad. Yeah, exactly, but that might count as a light jacket.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, hopefully I mean it being in December, hopefully they will have started coming out with the holiday. I've kind of strayed away from like the holiday specific ones, just because there's they're like their wearability is so narrow, like I'm like I mean, even if I kind of dig it, I'm like, well, I can wear it for like a month, but like the Marvel zombies one that I bought is while it's, while it was a halloween, you know it's in their spooky season stuff. You can still wear it year round because it's zombies, doesn't have.
Speaker 3:Well, it doesn't have like pumpkins and like jack-o'-lanterns and candy, you know, like halloween related type of things, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got the star wars one last year with like star wars trick-or-treating on it and stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm sure they'll have one coming up for that. That'll be part of their cycle, right? Very likely They'll do a Halloween one and then they'll probably do a Christmas one, right, isn't that usually?
Speaker 1:their cycle.
Speaker 3:For all of their licensing they'll do. It does seem like they're occasionally just doing the golf shirts though, which is kind of cool and like. So I'm surprised I would prefer. I'm actually surprised they haven't done more bamboo shirts, because I know when I wore mine to rose city they were like over the moon that I was wearing it. They were like, oh shit, you have one of the bamboo shirts on and I was like yo, they, I think they're expensive, yeah it's more expensive for them to make, yeah, and they're like 10 bucks more.
Speaker 3:I think they're like 80 bucks, yeah, or 85 bucks instead of 70 bucks yeah, five versus 70.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, ed ought to have been like all right, maybe I'll get one here. They're 85, that's.
Speaker 3:I think it's I think it's actually Not that that makes a difference.
Speaker 2:Still, though, if it's that big of a deal, cost-wise materials, blah, blah blah, I get it but dang.
Speaker 3:They're pretty fucking comfortable. I'll tell you.
Speaker 1:I almost bought another one. This weekend when we were at Universal, they had Five Nights at Freddy's. It was just a color version A Five Nights at Freddy's but it was just a color version, like a variant of one that's just available.
Speaker 2:Kind of like the Star Wars Mayfair. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So my oldest was like but you bought the ugly one from Disney for Oogie Boogie. I'm like, but that one's not a variant, that's actually exclusive, like the print itself is exclusive, so had it been the? Print itself is exclusive, so had it been, I might have got it, if it was actually exclusive.
Speaker 2:But apparently Universal's expensive enough, so it was like F that.
Speaker 3:Real quick and then we can get into that. Lou, I'm looking on the site right now just for your edification. The bamboo shirts are $82. Oral fixation, speaking of exclusives and universals, somebody protested Disney and didn't even know he was until you proactively.
Speaker 1:So I have come to the realization that I'm a disney adult, a disney snob even. Um, so shit, I don't know when they announced it, probably in the spring, early summer. Um, they're coming out with all their halloween horror night stuff and one of the houses was uh, fallout. So oldest super into fallout. So she's like, yep, we gotta go. I'm like no, okay, whatever. So I I started looking into it, um, and it was expensive as hell. I think it was like four or five hundred dollars for everything we did not including the hotel. Mean, let's see if I can find the email with the tickets in it.
Speaker 2:No, no timeshare option.
Speaker 1:No, we don't have timeshares in LA, so just keep that in mind when celebration rolls around. We stayed in Hawthorne at some Marriott Suites, which wasn't bad. It was probably like 10, 15 minutes from the convention center, so it wasn't horrible and the room was actually spacious.
Speaker 3:And they have connecting rooms.
Speaker 1:No, from the convention center it was like half hour almost from Universal. So we bought Halloween Horror Nights general admission day and night so we get in regular park tickets and we get to go to Halloween Horror Nights at night. Those were $2.24 each and then they sold early access tickets to Super Nintendo Land for $25 each. So it was $500 just for tickets for the two of us for one day.
Speaker 3:So it wasn't even all four of you. This was just for two of you. This was two people. So it wasn't even all four of you. This was just for two of you. This was two people okay.
Speaker 1:So I'm like, well, fuck it, like super nintendo land's new, it's like the new hotness, right. So I'm like, well, that's why. I'm like that's good, decent enough, right? So let's just go down there. Let's do that, um, before it gets crowded for the rest of the day. So we go down. I mean, we rope dropped it I don't know if that's what they call it at universal, using disney terms. We got there when they open, so you can only go down to super nintendo land, which is the. You have to go down like 75 escalators. It's fucking weird.
Speaker 3:No, that's the thing I mean legit.
Speaker 1:It's like five or six escalators you got to go down to get to the lower lot.
Speaker 3:Because there's the upper lot, which has some things, but then there's the lower lot, but then you're going down a hill and there's nothing in between, Like it's like. It's like parking at the top floor of like Mickey and Friends parking lot and you're just on escalators for five minutes, yeah lot and you're just on escalators for five minutes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we went down there, we went to Nintendo Land.
Speaker 3:And what day was this? Saturday?
Speaker 1:You guys went on Saturday right, yes, we left Friday night after school. So, mario, it's a rollercoaster ish ride. It's not like loops and everything. Actually, it's probably more like um, the toy story right over at DCA, where you shoot the things on the wall and stuff. But what's cool about it is they give you this Mario hat that you put on your head and then, when you sit on the ride, put these uh vr glasses on well, augmented reality glasses so when you look down at your steering wheel you can see how many coins you have, how many shells you have, and when you look around, you can see the other racers, like the koopa troopas and everything, and so it was really cool technology.
Speaker 1:But the ride was okay. I guess it was fun. We probably should have done it more, but we finished that up and we walked around Super Nintendo Land and that's really the only ride they have there. So that was sad, but we were walking in. So to enter it you have to go into one of Mario's warp pipes. I'm like they better play the sound, and they sure enough did.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, that's a requirement 100%.
Speaker 1:But no, it was a fun ride, I wasn't mad at it. And then I guess they have the Mario characters around and stuff. The queue is long as hell, even though it's just like a walk-on their queues are long as hell, no, just like for the waiting, just walking around everything.
Speaker 1:Walking around all the bands and everything right yeah, um, but it's cool because a lot of it is is indoors, so that's cool. That's something disney can learn, um, but the queue is cool, that's something that Disney can learn. Um. But the queue was cool cause it's in Bowser's castle, so there's a big Bowser statue. He has all the the Mario cart, uh, cup, trophies and stuff, bowser's throne, so it was really well done.
Speaker 1:After that we went back out and we're like, well, let's just do all the lower lot stuff. So I think next we did Jurassic Park. Sorry, jurassic World, it's been updated since I was there last 20 years ago. But it's a boat ride. You get on. You're like, oh, we're going to a nice stroll through Jurassic Park, look at the nice herbivores. And then you get up to this gate and all the lights turn red because you're going to carnivore carnival or some shit. Yeah, like, oh, everything's open, uh, failures, and all the lights start flashing and shit. And then you go in. You see the raptor cage is busted, um, the indominus rex doors busted in, there's blood and claw marks on the walls. You're like, oh, we're all going to die, so scary. Then the Dilophosaurus are spitting water on you. Thankfully it got in my daughter's mouth. She's like oh, it got in my mouth. I'm like you're going to melt from the inside out. Sucks for you.
Speaker 3:Then it goes inside.
Speaker 2:That would be the last time I ever hear you say that, oh man, I'm waiting for you to part. There were no body parts laying around. No, no, no, there was actually blood on the wall, though, so I mean, that's what made me think about it, as soon as you said that I'm all like any body parts to go with this blood on the wall, they still got to keep it PG yeah.
Speaker 1:They got to make sure those boats are full. Yeah, which they weren't. We sat there for like 10-15 minutes waiting for it to open proper and they were just running the boat just coming down and then her uh, ocd autism kicked in. And just like the boats are coming down in numbered order, it's like five and then six, and then seven, and then one skipped and then it was nine. It's like, oh man, but then 10, 11, 12, that one better have been under repair. And she's like disney doesn't do that, they don't care. I'm like you know, disney probably has enough boats that they don't have to care. Like, if this boat has a scratch paint, swap it out. And then that's why their numbers are all out of order. Um, so you go inside.
Speaker 3:Good dad, answer there.
Speaker 1:Good dad, yeah, exactly I had to sue with her before she had a autism breakdown. So you go inside and then it's dark, and then the indominus rex shows up and he fights the t-rex, and then there's raptors. And then you go up and he fights the T-Rex, and then there's raptors, and then you go up and then you go down and you get wet.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then the Dilophosaurus spit on you again, right so?
Speaker 3:yeah, lou knows, lou will remember that yeah.
Speaker 1:Then we went on the mummy roller coaster which replaced I think E.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think you're right last time I was there, yeah, but the et wasn't a roller coaster, that was like a walking ride, right like it was um, it was more like peter pan if we're comparing.
Speaker 1:It's just like a nice cruise through, like the story and everything.
Speaker 1:And then he says your name at the end. It's like Jack, be good. But now it's the mummy, brendan Fraser the mummy, and it was weird, like it was a good roller coaster but there was like no story to it. So like you come in Imhotep's resurrected resurrected, and he's like I'm going to take your soul, and then the rollercoaster takes off and you're going through the dark and there's all these like black light, um, mummy, ghost things, and then you stop and then you get shot backwards. So you do like the whole thing backwards and then, even with that, it's like I'm going and then emotex, like I'm gonna take your soul. Then your cart turns on the rides over my daughter's like I think he did take my soul because I got no joy out of that. Wow, do it again to make sure it really did suck. So we did it again and yeah it, there's like no story to it. I don't, it was very sad.
Speaker 1:And then they don't let you take your bags on that ride and one of the Harry Potter rides. So they give you like these free locker rentals while you're on the ride. It's like a two-hour thing, I guess, depending on the queue, but the lockers were barely even big enough for our lounge flies, like we had to squish them to even fit them in there. It was ridiculous, ridiculous. And then the last ride on the lower lot was, um transformers 3d, but that didn't open till like nine, I think. So we ate breakfast at the jurassic park cafe, um did you interact with.
Speaker 3:Did megatron make fun of you?
Speaker 2:yeah, that's one of my favorite youtube.
Speaker 3:have you ever seen that like megatron comes out? Oh, like, yeah, that's one of my favorite YouTube.
Speaker 1:Have you ever seen that Like Megatron comes out? Oh, like they had the Nest guys out there.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But every time we walked by Megatron was not out there. But yeah, he totally like roasts people.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that costume was actually designed by a friend of my best friend, their company from here in Portland. They designed it and so it's just one person, but they were able to do the get all the mechanics and stuff to work so it can just be one person and he walks out there that's cool um well, yeah, that's one of my favorite. A couple times and um, yeah, he was never out there louis, um, there's where your bodies are, lou, they're around megatron after he fucking slays him.
Speaker 2:Dude, for real, though, that's not even a joke. I was like I wasn't sure. The very first time I saw it Last year, two years ago I was like, is this real? And then I saw different people. I was like, oh my god, this is really happening. This is too cool.
Speaker 3:Especially when it's like the kids and he's just like, ah, fuck you little kid Right.
Speaker 2:Especially when it's like the kids and he's just like ah, fuck you little kid Right. And the kid's like what did I do? What did I do Where's?
Speaker 1:Optimus Prime at Fuck this guy.
Speaker 3:So all right, no no, no, no, we can't insert the video.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not on YouTube. Yeah, all right. Yeah, so the Transformer ride. You're at the Transformer. It's based on the movies, so you're on the base. The Decepticons are coming and we're getting evacuated by this Autobot named Evac and he has the weakest transformation ever he turns into a ride car.
Speaker 3:Oh, that was one of the pictures you sent right yeah, I don't know what cybertronian got.
Speaker 1:He pissed off that when he was made by the primes. They're like, bruh, you're a ride car. You can fit eight people, not even doors come down you have seat belts with, uh, yellow straps on them, um, but you put 3d glasses on and it runs you around through the battle, like ravage shows up and then bumblebee pulls his head off and there's missiles and shit. But it's like 4d, because when the missile comes at you it gets really hot and then like megatron, like squirts on you or something.
Speaker 3:It was weird I got it in my mouth again, dad yeah oh my god, we're stopping by the bar after this.
Speaker 1:When is my olga's?
Speaker 3:what is my? Right when is my olga's reservation?
Speaker 1:um, it was a cool ride. Uh, I'm glad we didn't have to wait in a super long line for it, but then it broke down right at the end, like we were about to get off, and it broke down. I'm like, oh, that sucks, but they gave us like a fast pass to come back. We just didn't have time to do it. Well, we did, but that's another story. So after that we went back upstairs to do more stuff. The best ride at Universal the escalators.
Speaker 1:Yep the escalators again, you can see all of Studio City. It's not a bad view, it's not, it's really nice. So we went back up there. We did the Simpsons ride, which used to be the Back to the Future ride, last time I was there. There we did the Simpsons ride, which used to be the Back to the Future ride, last time I was there. It's kind of funny because it's a Disney license now. No mention of Disney Plus or anything like that where you can watch all these episodes of the Simpsons. They're showing you clips of.
Speaker 2:You can watch episodes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that one was another. I'd have to say it's more like Soren, a little bit More like extreme Soren, because they lift you up in your car and you're in front of a screen and you're like on a roller coaster. A roller coaster because it's just on the screen and Sideshow Bob's there and he's trying to kill the simpsons again. Um, so that one was okay. And then we went over to harry potter land, which was done really well the dragons the dragon.
Speaker 1:There is supposed to be awesome yeah, yeah, um, it's themed really well. Everything was really really well done over there. Uh, we went on like a quidditch ride.
Speaker 3:I guess I think that's the new one. I think there's three rides over there, right there's, like a the hagrid's motorbike one well, you're thinking florida.
Speaker 1:Florida has the motorcycle. Okay, um, but no. So this one was like harry and the his harry run and hermione. Yeah, harry and the henderson's. Um, john, they used to be universal, not anymore. Um, they concoct some schemes so that you can go hang out with harry on the quidditch pitch and everything john lift gal.
Speaker 2:he actually is in the new show, so that's actually on point Full circle.
Speaker 3:I never thought about that.
Speaker 1:So you're walking, the queue is the castle, which is really cool. They did really well with the moving paintings and everything. You go through the Gryffindor Commons and you go by Dumbledore's office and then the ride itself. You sit down. It's like a row of three or four, I think it's four. The thing comes over you and you just fly through the castle. Dragons show up and you go and try to catch the golden snitch and everything. It was pretty cool. I liked that one, the flight of the Hippogriff weak as fuck. We were in line for like 15, 20 minutes and the ride was like 30 seconds long. So mad. It was almost like fucking Rapunzel dude. Yeah well, you're in line forever and the ride's like two seconds long. So I don't recommend that one.
Speaker 1:You're there for the queue really that queue sucked because it's just outside of Hagrid's Hut, so there's just like big vegetables and shit.
Speaker 2:Not even a dog.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:No Fluffy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, fluffy wasn't there or anything, it's horrible. And then, yeah, no, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I think I'm gonna head on myself because I haven't been. It's been 40, 35, 40 years since I went to. Universal was the one time ever blah, blah, blah. I remembered like there was like a big old lake and there's some shows that they did. There was a star trek one, a et one and a miami vice one, for three different shows that I went to do they still live shows?
Speaker 1:yeah, do they still do that water? So there's water world.
Speaker 3:That's still there that's like the only thing we didn't do, though that lake is water world now, and not miami and, yes, and during, and I saw a video, and maybe, jack, I don't yeah, I don't want to give away your evening but I saw that they did actually change the water.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they had some purge one, yeah, but again we didn't see, we didn't go to either one of those.
Speaker 2:And then the other ones were like 80.
Speaker 1:They like they would pull one person uh like before the thing and that kind of stuff, like interactive kind of stuff before they started more towards the rides.
Speaker 2:Now okay, that's where the one was they did like a two minute thing where they took a guest and put him in like a klingon makeup and everything before, and then they go out he's teaching a few lines and they put, yeah, they edit it real quick to do a two minute scene.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they used to do more like behind the scenes movie kind of stuff. Now it's just a theme park with rides.
Speaker 3:But even where Mario World and Transformers are they used to have a?
Speaker 1:backdraft thing. They used to have a backdraft thing. You go in there, they show you how they did all the fire effects and everything.
Speaker 2:Don't do that anymore oh man, that would be cool because he's part of the tour.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, so part of the studio tour we went on the studio tour which is still the best part of going universal. It's an like an hour long just sitting there chilling that was super cool.
Speaker 2:You see some of the stages or the areas where they're filming and everything yeah, I mean, it was saturday so they weren't really filming.
Speaker 1:But um no, no, just just to see where they did it was yeah, so they have a lot of it through hill valley, they did not?
Speaker 2:yep, that must have been, they were they were they, that must have meant they were filming something there, so not, maybe not. Sorry, go ahead, luke.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, go ahead and finish your talk. I was going to say that even if they have stuff set up to film something, they won't take you through those parts of the. So the tour will depend on what sets are being used at the time. So, even though they're not filming anything active there, hill Valley is one of the more popular spots, it seems like, where everybody wants to go because it's back to the future, but they also film a bunch of stuff there, so like I guess, I guess I'm guessing they were doing something on saturday that jack was not able to
Speaker 1:see hill valley which sucks, it was very sad, but, um, so they did still have it set up for the good place. I guess nobody's wanted to use that set, so that was weird. But yeah, it was still set up for the Good Place. And then they still have like the Four years ago, yeah right, yeah, so they still have it set up. You still do a couple of stops. King Kong used to be this big, big, huge animatronic with banana brass, but now they rethemed it to a 3d ride or like a 3d experience with peter jackson's king kong. Um, so he's like fighting t-rexes and stuff and again you get squirted on. It gets in your oldest daughter's mouth. It's weird.
Speaker 3:I can't wait to hear her therapy in 10 years about this. Yeah, my dad was talking about my trip to Universal on his podcast.
Speaker 2:Got squirted in the mouth a few times. Yeah, at least Maybe I'm getting my parks confused, but is that ride tour thing? Is that the one that had the Psycho house?
Speaker 1:Yes yes, yes, yes. So you go on. Jaws is there? Yeah, you go by the Best Whorehouse in Texas or whatever the hell. That Dolly Parton movie was the.
Speaker 1:Monster's House 1313 Mockingbird Lane and they had to paint it purple so it shows up better in black and white. So it's still purple. But yeah, you go by the Bates Motel, which was blocked because they had a haunted house there for whore nights. So sad on that part, but I'll tell you later why it got cool. And then that, yeah, that's when we went by the, the psycho house, and norman bates was there trying to kill me. I wish you would have. But they still do the subway thing.
Speaker 1:The subway comes in, everything catches on fire, then there's floods and everyone yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Right earthquake yeah.
Speaker 2:Wasn't the parting the Red Sea? Was that a part of that?
Speaker 1:No, we did not go through the lake and I forgot about that until just now when you mentioned it. But no, we didn't go through the lake.
Speaker 3:I think that's been replaced by something else, maybe they're also but yeah, there also used to be the part where you'd go through the tunnel and it was, yeah, the I. It was like, uh, you were going through like a ice cave and it was like rotating and it got super fucking cold like they'd make. They would bring it down to like almost freezing, but then you got like super tripped out because it was spinning the whole time while you're driving through yeah I think now that's the fact.
Speaker 3:I think that's now. That's the fast and furious part of the ride.
Speaker 1:That wasn't part of it either but maybe that's florida, I could be getting maybe it could be, but it could be so, um, and then I think the last part was Nope. They still have the theme park set up from Nope, the little carnival they had going, and so they stop and they just start playing all this like creepy music and sound effects and shit, and you're like something's going to get me. Nothing ever came to get me, though, but it was creepy as hell, even though it was the middle of the day, and then that was over, and then that's when we're like so we've done everything. It's like 1230. No fast passes, no dash, no, nothing, dude, we got there at 7 and we finished everything. So that tells you how much Universal does not have.
Speaker 2:Right. Well, you said you didn't do something, so you couldn't.
Speaker 1:So we didn't go to Waterworld, but that was one thing. That was an hour. They are building a Fast and the Furious roller coaster which looks really cool, so I'll definitely go back for that. So yeah, so we're like, well, let's just go do something else, like sit, get out of the sun, get a big-ass drink. We went to go watch the Long Walk, which was actually pretty good. Then we came Well, no, then we did shopping. There's shops outside on City Walk which is like downtown Disney. Somebody that didn't even come with us wanted to buy everything in the Wicked store. We did that. We got little ones, some.
Speaker 2:Hello Kitty stuff. It wasn't all four of you.
Speaker 3:No, he just said it was two of them. Yeah, it's just the two of us dude, I missed that part.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. $500 tickets just for two of us. Yeah, for a day.
Speaker 2:Half day, Half day really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly for a day. Half, yeah, yeah, half day. Really. Yeah, exactly, yeah, for real, um. So we did shopping, we took everything back to the car, then we went in um. Then they gave us wristbands so we could stay after 5, 30, um for the horror show, the halloween stuff, um. So then we went downstairs. Everybody on the internet said that the five nights at f Freddy's house is like 70 hours long. So we're like well, let's just get that one out of the way, right? And that's when I text you they're like oh, it's 180 minutes and it was only an hour.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what I was all like.
Speaker 1:That's BS, I think I texted you guys at like 5.30. I'm like cool, we'll be in at 630 into the actual house, Nice.
Speaker 2:And the house itself was cool.
Speaker 1:It was set up like Freddy's from the movie. Like you walk in, there's an animatronic of Freddy. Haven't seen the movie. You didn't see Five Nights at Freddy's yet. Oh man, you cry. It's a Blumhouse movie.
Speaker 2:You know it's going to be decent, at least.
Speaker 1:No, I just when it first came out, like 10 years ago and all that crap, I didn't care. You know, it was like no, no, no, no like all the hype about it was like the game.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm like. The movie was on two years ago. My niece was all about it, right I mean, and I was like whatever, don't care, don't understand. And then the movie came out. I was like still don't care, still don't understand, so, and I know there's a second one coming out. So I saw the trailer when I went to go see the um the demon slayer movie. Uh, last week it's entertaining enough. Okay, all right. Well, I'm sure it's streaming by now, so I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm sure um, so it was set up pretty good. Um, the first like scares. There's just like these little kids with like knives and hooks and nothing. I will tell you, I did not get scared in any of the houses at all, nothing like them jumping out and stuff. Not once did it scare me. So maybe the mummy did suck out my soul, well, and I got no joy out of anything, I think I think we've been talking about how you're you.
Speaker 3:You're dead inside and have been dead inside for a very long time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, but it was really cool. There were a couple parts where they have puppeteers controlling some of the animatronics. That stupid-ass cupcake thing jumped out of the wall a couple times, but it was okay. I wasn't super impressed with it. I I'm like why are people waiting like three hours for this um? So then we went out and I was just going to take her back upstairs to go do um fallout, right. But she's like no, let's do the scarecrow with music by slash. I'm like okay. So that one said half hour wait. It was like 10, 15 maybe. So you go into this house and there's like a scarecrow outside in cornfields.
Speaker 2:He blocks the camera. I was blowing my nose.
Speaker 3:Sorry, right Reset. We got this out. Cut this out.
Speaker 2:You can't see this, but you gotta make sure all y'all motherfuckers hear this, like I've done it a couple times, you know what.
Speaker 3:You know what we do enough stuff for the people watching the videos. Every once in a while we got to drop some stuff for the audio people.
Speaker 2:Okay, ASMR to the rescue.
Speaker 1:Right. So you go in this house and there's like a haunted scarecrow. I mean the music's pretty good. So you go through and there's all these dead people, like at Thanksgiving dinner or some shit, and like scarecrows are inside the walls, opening panels and roar. They're not allowed to touch you. But my spectrum daughter some of the like cloth doorways in between rooms were made out of burlap. She's like nope. So the one time I almost got scared was I was holding the burlap so she didn't have to touch it, and then somebody got my face and I just like jumped back real quick it was more of a shock than a scare.
Speaker 2:Somebody would have got swung off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so they're not allowed to touch it. They get super close, though, and then like that's the thing, so we did that one and then shit, what do we do after that? Well, because there's like, that's like seven or eight houses, right like, yeah, yeah yeah, so then, oh, after that we went to freddy's to eat because they had like pizza, and then they were selling a cupcake based on the character.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, when you watch the movie.
Speaker 2:Okay, my first thought was the pizza. I'm like, isn't it a pizza house? Yes, it is Like a Chuck E Cheese type place.
Speaker 1:There's a character that walks around with a cupcake that has like buck teeth on it. So they were selling a cupcake of that, so we went over. We sat down by jurassic park, we ate. Um. Art the clown was walking around scaring people. I haven't watched those movies. So I guess he shakes a tin can with money in it or something. I don't know. I haven't watched those yet.
Speaker 3:Um and there was like a terrifier. Terrifier like low budget, low budget horror but it has become.
Speaker 2:Yeah, everybody was all excited about last year's part three exactly.
Speaker 1:And then they had some dude on stilt so it was like some skeleton slash so he was hanging out so we ate. And then, um, there were lines for two houses right there. One of them was a wwe, wyatt six or something, I don't fucking know Right, but I was like, okay, cool, let's do that one. I'm like, whatever, it's like a 10 minute wait, so we do that one. And really it was just like some zombie undertaker house.
Speaker 3:I don't know who, why it is, but I don't think he was there Well, well, when we do our spinoff WWE podcast, I'll get you up to speed.
Speaker 1:Cool, but yeah, I know it's like some zombie undertaker and then again dead people at the dinner table and burlap curtains that I was protecting my child from Because they were trying to attack. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Burlap is so rough it's like I fucking get it.
Speaker 3:It's like I fucking get it.
Speaker 2:I'm over here like yeah.
Speaker 3:Lou is out here punching all of the scare actors but going like I can't go through that door because it's burlap. Jack, hold the door for me, then he goes through the door and punches somebody else in the face.
Speaker 2:I could see elementary school you two actually volunteering to jump into that sack to hop around in.
Speaker 3:No, yes, it's like I'm already ashy as fuck. I don't need to be scratching my skin too.
Speaker 2:I'm going to stay ashy too, because I'm allergic to lotion, these days Also called lazy.
Speaker 3:Is that what the allergy is called lazy?
Speaker 2:it absolutely is, and and she I'm like they ain't gonna see this part of my body, that part of my body don't need lotion harris, fucking tariffs on lotion, I'm out.
Speaker 1:So then we went back up the 73 escalators to do the. They had a tram. No, so the tram has it's own terror, tram, terror, tram so they have their own bloomhouse themed haunted house downstairs I was telling you about. So you go in, like all the characters out there the grabber from Blackphone, Megan, some purge dudes, they're out there, they're screaming at you.
Speaker 3:Then they run inside and you go into the different haunted houses, but they're like mini haunted houses, they're not like full. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there's a poltergeist one. There was the purge, uh, megan's house. Uh, no, not poltergeist. Exorcist poltergeist had its own house back at the main park. Um, black phone had one, which was kind of cool, because the second one, if you see in the trailers, it's like ice and stuff. So one of the grabbers was on this ice thing and he was sliding around with their chainsaws and shit or whatever he was doing. That's another movie we need to watch. That one was good too. And then so part of it was I think it was the Insidious House. We got to walk right in front of the Bates Motel, like the actual film sets, because the monsters were coming out of the hotel rooms. So that was cool as hell to be able to walk right there on those sets. And then you walk around to the Bates, to the actual house and Norman's up there you can take pictures with Norman and shit, and then you walk through the Purge the videos that I saw.
Speaker 3:I spent way too much time watching the theme park one. What? Was your thoughts on the plane, because I always thought the plane looked super cool at night during the Halloween Horror Night stuff. It looks cool the plane, because I always thought the plane looked super cool at night during the halloween horror night stuff it looks cool during the regular show the regular studio tour because we didn't buy it.
Speaker 1:I think it was war of the worlds, the tom cruise movie. Yeah is what it was for. Yep, um, but when we walked through it and looked at it I was like damn, they like built a whole ass airplane, like they put like a bunch of seats in there and there's like seat belts hanging off and stuff. I thought it looked cool as hell no, it's a legit, even up close.
Speaker 3:It's a legit plane that they like cut apart and brought it, put it up and then re destroyed it after they reassembled it like there's like a whole video online about it. It's actually pretty wild what they did to just just for that like so, uh, no, it was cool as heck.
Speaker 1:I mean like it looked really good up close and everything, dead people hanging everywhere, and then I think the megan house was last. You just get back on the tram, they take you back and then that's when we went to go do fallout. That was probably the longest line. We waited in the whole time like it said 35 minutes, and it was about 40 minutes by the time we got in it. Honestly, I thought a bunch of the houses were, as the kids say, very mid, but this one was really good.
Speaker 1:Like you walk in um, they have it all themed to um fall out, like the, the corporation and the little vault dude and his cartoons and stuff are going. And you go in the vault and like um, lucy's brother pops out. The kid looked just like him. They had like dead vault dwellers and they like bought the, the wand company pit boys that they're selling like the hundred dollar pit boys that I got for us and they're just on dead mannequins on the floor. I'm like, let me get that um. But then, like the ghoul pops out and there's like different uh wastelander dudes around like trying to scare you. And then lucy pops out. Uh, it's when you're in beavis and buttheads uh fucking convenience store she comes out with the um checking the mic, checking the mic with the defibrillator and then like all the ghouls are like in the freezers and stuff still. So that one was actually really well done. I was glad we saved that for last, because the rest of them were just meh.
Speaker 1:And then we went over to the fallout cafe to have dinner. Um, so burger was gone. Yeah, burger was out. So that was sad. But it was like a barbecue burger with pickles and bacon. It sounded delicious. I ended up with a guano meat on a stick which was like cornflake hot dogs, a little less exciting. But one of the things that my daughter really wanted was Radaway. So in the games everything's radioactive nuclear fallout, so they have this stuff you take to lower your radiation levels. So one of the drinks they had was radaway and they sell it in like a blood bag. So we got those. It was just okay.
Speaker 1:She thought it tasted like medicine yeah, well it's probably all syrup, like it was well, it's like some habanero something or another.
Speaker 2:Well, that habanero aftertaste is going to make it taste like medicine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it was just okay. But we had cool blood bags that have right-of-way stickers on them. But the food was pretty decent and after that we just bounced. It was like 10, 11-ish and we'd been there since 7. So we were like let's bounce.
Speaker 2:Which means your day started before or at 6.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, but yeah, overall, I'm a Disney guy.
Speaker 1:I just think that the rides are better. I think there's more bang for your buck. Like I said, we were done by 12, 30 dude, without fast passes or disability passes or anything, and the only thing we didn't watch was a water world. So, but it was fun to do every few years. Maybe, um, take it slower, maybe I don't know. I don't know about halloween, horn nights, just okay. Maybe the the Florida park is better. I haven't been there yet, so it seems like that's a multi-day park.
Speaker 1:Legoland better. You know what I like Legoland better, but I just like the theming of it better. Like, when we went to Legoland in Florida and San Diego, we spent most of the day there, like from opening till almost closed, but even when we had passes back in the day, we had never stayed there way back in the day. We would get there like 10 only, stay till six and still do everything. But it was nice to have passes. Knots, you could do all day. That one's not a bad deal. Uh, they have a lot of roller coasters. Last time we went, though, the girls weren't super into the roller coasters, so we didn't do a lot of like the scarier ones.
Speaker 3:Um, but no, I mean, but this is number one for a reason, I think but knots also has like a lot of like deeming stuff around the park that you can do as well besides the ride yeah, yeah, like they have like the cowboyouts and they have shows and stuff, knott's is pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Living in California, you see the commercials all the time.
Speaker 3:What I like about Knott and the chicken Knott's got that chicken. Yeah they do have the chicken at Knott's.
Speaker 2:Do you plan on doing Magic Mountain before they close?
Speaker 1:I don't know. The girls have never expressed any kind of interest in it, so I don't know.
Speaker 2:I would want, or had wanted to, just because their nostalgia it's like, hey, let me hit one more last time before they shut down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, if you want to, just let us know, we'll go out there Make it happen. Yeah, valencia, I'm a disney guy. I've even um my daughter.
Speaker 2:She's like, yeah, the studio tour was the best thing. I'm like, yeah, it was right on. So your next disney trip is what?
Speaker 1:uh, halloween right before halloween, no we're not going in october at all what it was on your list what happened um, it's just everything just timing out with wife's birthday and other stuff going on. It's just, it's not happening Her birthday is two weeks before that.
Speaker 3:And also it's her birthday. Why are you not going for her birthday?
Speaker 1:Because, being the great husband that I am, I got her tickets to go see Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, so that's solid exactly.
Speaker 2:I'm all like you know. I know what that means. Therefore never mind.
Speaker 3:Have you seen? Have you guys seen, any of the youtube videos from it?
Speaker 1:I've seen a couple here and there, but I didn't want like spoilers for it um, I'm not even going I'm not even going, I'm sending wife and little one because little one, those two love wizard of oz. So if I'm paying money it's going to be for those two to go the people who actually want yeah well, so you can get spoilers, since you ain't gonna see it yeah, that's a good point now I can yeah, but yeah no.
Speaker 3:They like drop apples on you and shit and like it's flying around during the tornado and stuff, and yeah it's crazy, yeah, when, uh, when they do the, uh, when they go into the poppy fields and they like, fill the room up with smoke, that smells like like flowers like, and then it snows on you when linda makes the Yep. Bubble snow, let's go, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm very interested to see their reaction to it. But yeah, we have zero plans to go.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I was going to say when I, when I got our tickets for Disney two weeks ago, I linked all of us together again and it was like, oh, they're going end of October Before us. No, it was like October 20-something. It was before Halloween that you guys were scheduled to go.
Speaker 1:If we go, it might be, but also she's supposed to have her knee surgery as well. I just tried to get that done well before our cruise in January, so we might not be going until Novembermber. I already had a work wife pick up one of the. It's like a mickey ghost popcorn bucket. I'm like I don't think we're making it, so I need you to get this for me smart, just in case yeah, is that the same one who did the trades with you at universal or something?
Speaker 2:no, this girl is the one that got me the grogu zipper last year okay, yeah, wait, I didn't remember that right, though, there was somebody who you stated with that universe okay, yeah, okay, that's the nice thing, she has universal pass lou.
Speaker 3:As you know, that's the nice thing about work wives is you can have multiple of them and it's not a problem.
Speaker 2:They don't get jealous exactly uh, the work wives don't, but the actual ones might get jealous of the work ones, to tell you that much well, that's their problem, just saying I agree, I 100 agree. Shit, you want to get jealous and just go be friends and make her your work wife too, and we can all get together or just realize.
Speaker 3:Or just realize that your husband is still a badass and can manage multiple women at once.
Speaker 2:Yeah, For real. It's like you ain't here all the time.
Speaker 1:Right, you ain't it. It doesn't matter that Lou's closer to 100 than anybody else, right?
Speaker 3:I'm closer to 100 than frickin' Z 10 days.
Speaker 2:Okay. So since we haven't talked about star wars at all, this came through when, when we were talking. I'm just one of y'all yeah, not, I don't know duke's kind of into this, but just curious what y'all think if this will show up the pops yeah, I saw that too.
Speaker 1:Um, I am likely going to get hondo obviously, and you're gonna get um.
Speaker 2:Uh oh, jesus christ, middle bottom dude uh kanan yeah, so you're getting that one too and maybe asajj.
Speaker 1:I like if the color on her sabers.

Speaker 1:But Jesse meh, I never really cared for him on the show, I'm more of a Fives guy myself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 3:Those are Clone Wars Pops Rebel.
Speaker 1:And then the Dooku is the young Dooku from Tales of the. Jedi yeah young Dooku from Tales of the Jedi.
Speaker 2:Tales of the Jedi. Yeah, yeah, young Dooku and then Kanan, then fucking Hondo.
Speaker 1:Asajj.
Speaker 2:So I think the Asajj I like and that's about it, as in willing to spend money on. I like the way they look. I like the Kanan looks pretty damn good. Hondo, I like the way they look. I like the Canaan looks pretty damn good. Uh, hondo, I liked it. He had this little monkey lizard.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, that looks cool and it's different than the last one I got.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that's the other side of that, right. It's an actual difference that you can tell Yep, um. So before, before we start to wrap it up, something that I mentioned in our text thread, but we haven't had a chance to bring it up in the pod, so you guys gave me that list of shit I should watch, and Warfare wasn't online until the day I said it wasn't online. And now it's online, so I'll watch that one once. I'm probably done with DSpace9. I'm halfway through season five of seven with DSpace9. I'm halfway through season 5 of 7. 507, huh Of DSpace9. Night Swim not very good. I'm not mad that I watched it, it just wasn't very good, right.
Speaker 3:It was just okay. Yeah, right, and I think that's what Jack had said, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it was okay, it wasn't great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it had. You know, usag was kind of cool. Yeah, it was, it was. It was like I, I wasn't like mad that I watched it, it was just like, oh man, I could see how this movie could have so much potential. It could have been awesome. Uh, the predator animated was not good. Uh, it wasn't bad. Also, again, it just wasn't. It was like, all right, I saw it, um, I'm, I'll wait for the movie in november or whenever. Peacemaker was not good at all. The first two episodes, be very clear, I only saw the first two episodes I told you that it starts on the third episode.
Speaker 2:I know yeah, but you told me that after I'd already stopped that episode too, it was like I will wait till this shit is done because I am wasting my. It was like it like watching WandaVision. It was like oh all right. I'll just wait till that one's done. I'm sure it'll get better, and when it's done I'll binge it. Twisted Metal was fantastic. I enjoyed Twisted Metal. Sweet Tooth is ridiculous. The whole show is ridiculous. I had lots of fun watching Twisted Metal.
Speaker 3:It's probably one of the better preexisting IP shows slash movies.
Speaker 1:And it's crazy, there's not even been a game out for like 10 years. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, they did it yeah, sorry, go ahead Luke.
Speaker 2:No, they did a good job with it. The whole switching the the main girl, um from party of five, uh, I from Party of Five. I don't think there was any. It was like alright, this is how it is and that's all there is to it. It was like, oh, that's fine it wasn't like oh man, what happened?
Speaker 3:It was legit, but it's not where you think it is Right.
Speaker 2:So Twisted Middle was good, and then finally saw the first episode of Alien Earth last night. Yeah, I'm on board that was good, and then finally saw the first episode of Alien Earth last night. Yeah, I'm on board. That was good, and I know the season is already over so I can't binge it. Is it over?
Speaker 3:This week we got one more.
Speaker 1:If it was over last week on Tuesday's episode, I would have been pissed.
Speaker 3:I would have boycotted.
Speaker 2:I would have joined the.
Speaker 1:Disney boycott.
Speaker 2:Iroh's episode is the last episode yes, for me my purpose is it's over, because by the time I get to that.
Speaker 3:It won't even be like October, but yeah, that first episode.
Speaker 2:I was like, okay, this is pretty bad. You guys were like, oh, the first episode, it's like they're. Okay, this is pretty bad. You guys were like, oh, the first episode, and it's like they're setting up. I'm like they set it up my ass.
Speaker 2:This is great. This is so I did. Of all the ones that I watched, alien Earth and Twisted Metal were probably up there. That was fantastic. So we'll see how it goes In a couple of weeks I'll have it. So again, there's only seven episodes left. In a couple of weeks I'll have it Again. There's only seven episodes left, probably able to watch two a night for a couple of nights, like tonight, monday Night Football. I'd like to say I can only do Tuesday if there's no Tuesday movie to watch but you're going to the cheapy movie, right the preview?
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I was going to say tonight is going to be like 20 minutes of Monday Night Football and then one of those blind movies rated R. No idea what it's going to be.
Speaker 1:And if it's?
Speaker 2:like oh man, I don't want to watch this. I'm going to leave and go watch Monday Night Football, but if it's like, oh okay, I'm curious, then I'll stay and miss the game. So we'll see. Let's see what's coming out, didn't we determine that it's stuff that's coming out in the week or two. You know a movie that'll be out in one week or two and it's rated R. That's all I can tell you.
Speaker 1:Let's see. That's why we didn't go see it.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 3:Probably not one battle after another, because that That'd be fun.
Speaker 1:Strangers, chapter 2. You haven't watched the first one yet, Maybe, maybe, strangers.
Speaker 2:Strangers.
Speaker 3:Chapter 2, part one yep, but I mean so I'll have to watch the first one, like it's a prequel there's not a ton coming out between now and tron like yeah one battle after another is really the only other one, that's when I looked it up like a couple years ago, that was my first guess.
Speaker 2:It's probably going to be that that uh, leonardo I'm excited about that one. I think it'll be good, it seems you know, I would not be sad if it's that one.
Speaker 3:But it'll probably be Strangers If I was going to put money on it. As far as what's coming out, I would bet it's Strangers.
Speaker 2:That was my thought too. I would bet Strangers and hope for one. And have we talked?
Speaker 3:about.
Speaker 2:I'll do like last time. I'll be in a theater. It's not really packed for whatever. I think those things are kind of fun, but it wasn't really packed. So what I'll probably do is have my phone out Once they put the title up.
Speaker 3:I'll text it to you guys and then I'll put it up, as one does, your guys' excitement level for Tron. Tron Ares.
Speaker 1:I'm looking forward to it. I need to. The girls need to watch the first two, but I'm looking forward to it I was just gonna say I will go back and we watch the first.
Speaker 2:I remember the first one fairly well. I don't remember the second one, honestly at all.
Speaker 3:Like, like dude, I think we saw it together I think I think you guys did too I think we saw it together, dude.
Speaker 2:I yeah, I really, I really like please sit here and say I don't recall it.
Speaker 3:The second one I remember there's.
Speaker 2:Jeff Bridges is in it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was pretty shitty CGI. I remember that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, then something with his kid, I think yes. I can see the kid's face, I can recognize his face, but but I don't remember what happened in the actual movie. So it's one of my guilty. I assume both of them are on Disney+. Yeah, and since they suspended Jimmy, I got a second subscription, so I'll be able to watch it. So I'm fine, okay.
Speaker 1:I wonder if he's got his job back tomorrow night, though he's got his job back tomorrow, well, abc gave his job back tomorrow night, though he's got his job back tomorrow.
Speaker 2:Well, ABC gave his job back, Did Next Gen and Sinclair. Are they going to put him back on the screen?
Speaker 3:Who knows, that's going to be a whole other bag. You know, Lou, looking over what's coming out, it might be Ruth man, Might be Ruth.
Speaker 1:That's October 9th though, yeah, it's October 9th. Though, yeah, it's October 9th, but yeah.
Speaker 3:But again, it's one of those movies. I think it's under the radar, I think all the other, the Strangers, the. So I mean, even though it's a little bit further, out.
Speaker 2:I'm going to be happy with that too.
Speaker 3:But it would not surprise me if it was Roofman, because really the movies between now and October 10th when Tron comes out, there's like three of them, maybe four movies that are Did you ever go watch Toxic Avenger on your Tuesday movie? My best friend wanted me to go see it with him. We have not made it there yet.
Speaker 2:I was just wondering if they're not getting my dollar. However, if I was bored on the Tuesday, I'd go watch it.
Speaker 3:We're going to go see the long walk tomorrow. Um and then, um. Next week will be a one battle after another, so okay cool, okay, so one battle comes out this weekend.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, all right. Yeah, we we were talking about it here for a bit was like is there anything worth a damn to go see on a tuesday night? We're like. She was like I don't think there is. I don't think so either. I can't think of something that's oh, let's go watch this. Like like long walk. I'm not gonna lie, it interests me, but I don't know if I could go to a theater and watch. That movie is my problem. It's like oh, okay, uh it's worth five dollars.
Speaker 2:You'd enjoy it for a cheap five bucks, all right, yeah, you would enjoy it for a five dollar movie all right, that's good to know. I mean like I'm not gonna. I'm not. I'm not one of those. Stephen king said this therefore, don't go watch long walk. I'm like, yeah, that's dumb, but okay, fine, some people are like that. I'm like that for different things. Not for that, though, especially since he apologized calm down people, exactly who freaking apologizes, no one that's.
Speaker 2:That's the other thing, right, nobody does. He did, damage may have been done. We'll see how the lawsuit goes, but whatever, I mean if he was sincere and he seemed like he was, move the hell on, yeah, dog. Same thing with jimmy. If jimmy comes back and is like all right, I was a bit of an asshole, um, and and dude was on the left, uh, sorry, okay, great, move on. And again in the discord I'm in with with some of the magic fellows here in that group of like 30 people it's 30, 30 versus one in that group, but whatever whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like. If that's what you want to believe, you're welcome. To be wrong, it's okay.
Speaker 2:Teach their own. That's, at the end of the day, right, you're not going to. That's the part that I at least with me. I know I'm better than they are, because I I will change my mind. If you can present to me some shit that will make me change my mind, they will not, no matter what. Here's some facts about this. Oh well, if they don't believe that, I'm like okay, Okay, then we're done. Like my friend that I talked about before, my friend that I go to the bar with, like once a month, where's the button man? Where's the here we go again button? I'm like I've been waiting until the end of the pod so you can edit this shit out. Come on, put it in there. I was good.
Speaker 3:I was doing what Jack was saying in the thread.
Speaker 1:I said Duke would just put his hands in his hand, like wow.
Speaker 2:Oh, my god Over my head. Even better, even better. But yeah, it's like I can have a conversation with her and she's way left. But she'll be like, hey, here's this and here's that. I mean, oh, I didn't consider that. That's cool, I've changed my mind in a few things that I was right on. I say it every single time, though it's the far left and the far right that screwed up for everybody else.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:The liberals are fine. The leftists can f off, you know. The freaking republicans are basically fine, those far right conservatives f off. It's like you two. You need to go get your own eyelid and leave the rest of the world alone, because y'all fucking it up, fucking everybody else. Whatever, it's not going to change.
Speaker 1:No, I mean as long as, as long as I subscribe to selective ignorance people come right, I'm conservative, I'm liberal and influencer. I tune it out, I move on with my life.
Speaker 3:This guy until until he becomes, until he becomes an influencer, and then, all of a sudden, listen to me.
Speaker 1:Yes, Because I'm the only right one Correct, not right.
Speaker 2:If I get it right, I'm about to get canceled.
Speaker 3:I'm the only accurate, I'm the only person you can believe on the internet.
Speaker 2:Makes sense. It's like me. Luckily, I don't have any bias, so I'm okay and I'm neutral yeah.
Speaker 3:If there's ever a word that I've used to describe Lou, it's neutral.
Speaker 1:Perfectly balanced, like all things should be.
Speaker 3:He's Gamora's knife.
Speaker 1:In fact, that's what Lou is on my phone. It's Gamora's knife. When I text him, that's what comes up.
Speaker 3:As well, and shit Mine is.
Speaker 2:Black.
Speaker 3:Widow at the bottom of it after she jumps off. Oh.
Speaker 2:Oh. That whole thing. That was a crazy. It's been a crazy couple of weeks with those politics. Oh my God, I don't care what side you're on, it's been a crazy couple of weeks.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go take some Tylenol now so I can get autism.
Speaker 2:Makes sense. Yeah, luckily I'm an Advil guy, I don't have to worry about it. I don't have Tylenol.
Speaker 3:Nope, lou, I'm guessing Advil does, because you, motherfucker, you have autism.
Speaker 2:You know what?
Speaker 3:I was just. You know what? I was just leaning towards that.
Speaker 2:I was like wait a minute.
Speaker 3:I think they got that report backwards.
Speaker 2:They got the wrong A, that's awful, oh my God, that whole situation, oh Jesus, so much just bad out there. Information politics the best part is if you haven't watched it.
Speaker 1:Watch when Trump tries to set a minifin. It takes him like seven tries, dude, oh my God. And watch when trump tries to say a set of minifin. It takes him like seven tries, dude, oh my god. And then somebody has to whisper it into his ear and he's like, yeah, whatever, it's called tylenol. And now tylenol is gonna get to sue him, so that'll be funny well, only if it's not true.
Speaker 2:If there's any evidence that shows it's true, then because you can't be sued for that. If it's fact, so that he better have facts. That was my first thought when I saw that. I was like Con all about to sue his ass. I was like, wait a minute, unless it's true. If they have any even a little bit of evidence that they can hold their head on anything they can stand on at that, then they're fine. But how ridiculous is that shit? It's like y'all everybody knows that I lean right with some left ideals, but not everybody knows I actually don't like Trump. Everybody's like, oh, you're a Trumper. I'm like, fuck off. No, I'm not, I do the tool. But at least he puts the country first. He does it in a really weird way, but it's like wait your guy didn't do something.
Speaker 2:I'm like, who's my guy, who's?
Speaker 3:my guy.
Speaker 2:Oh, your guy Trump. I'm like. Oh no, those fighting words, anybody. I never understood that. The people who are like I'm a Trump supporter, I'm like. Why Like? Why are you?
Speaker 3:Well, how could you, as a man, as a person it's like how that I used to open the box. I need to put it down, oh man, so anywho.
Speaker 2:But yeah, like I said, it's been crazy. It's been a crazy two weeks and it's not going to stop anytime soon. It's unfortunate there are other podcasts.
Speaker 1:You can go for all that drama. There are plenty podcasts. You can go for all that drama. There are plenty of.
Speaker 3:There's one less podcast. If we discuss that, we'll discuss that on our own.
Speaker 2:Ah, yes, oh wow.
Speaker 1:We'll have to edit that out before we get cancelled, oh.
Speaker 2:That did happen. It was not me either. I don't know who it was.
Speaker 1:Well, if we can get the vice president on here To help co-host, that would be nice too. That would be nice.
Speaker 2:Why don't we just get Kamala? She's not doing anything.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying lose the only one that has a couch, though. So if we got the vice president, he's like I'm going to fly to.
Speaker 3:Colorado and we're going to be like sorry Lou.
Speaker 1:He'll just be in the background like Beavis when they were dancing and humping the music. The music video For real.
Speaker 2:I'm like well, I need a new couch anyway, that's fine.
Speaker 1:Couch got pregnant Big sock.
Speaker 2:Now I have a love suit. It's a little ottoman. Fat couch had a child.
Speaker 1:Well, hopefully we're back next week, I think I have a football game, but it's an afternoon game.
Speaker 3:Yeah and Lou is there a plan?
Speaker 2:to jump on. It's a 1.30 game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think we can talk about that when we log off. But yeah, we'll be back next week, y'alls. Thanks, guys. Thanks for the patience.
Speaker 3:Bye Peace.
