The NFL slate fell flat, so we made our own fun. We kick things off with the kind of honest sports talk you only get from people who actually watch: why the games dragged, which wins felt empty, and how college football’s chaos could throw the top four into a blender. Georgia’s margin for error, Oregon’s path, automatic bids, and what a committee really values—nothing is off the table.

From there, we swap Thanksgiving war stories with the kind of detail you can taste: stovetop stuffing plays, microwave hacks, turkey leg tendon regrets, and a wildly specific sweet potato strategy. One host pulled kitchen duty solo after knee surgery benched his better half; another walked into a Friendsgiving powered by cranberry jello shots and eggnog experiments, leaving “fancy” bottles as decor. It’s part survival guide, part comedy, and fully relatable.

Culture check: we run through a movie streak with standouts and near-misses, then hit a Die Hard musical that leans into improv and fan-service in all the right ways. We talk box office logic—why kid movies dominate opening weekends—and why a sharp script can still surprise you. Sprinkle in a hockey night, a club set from The Glitch Mob, and the joy of a theater audience catching a near-miss puck shot for a truck, and the weekend starts to feel epic.

All roads lead to Disneyland. We map out travel logistics like pros—prepaid parking, bag tags, carry-on math—and lock in a Star Wars fireworks dessert party for the crew. Expect breakfast at Ronto Roasters, a hyperspace lap count that would make a droid blush, and karaoke setlists to close the nights. It’s part planning session, part hype reel, and exactly the kind of group energy that turns a calendar entry into a memory.

If you’re into smart sports chatter, holiday cooking realism, nerdy theme park tactics, or just need a laugh, this one’s for you. Tap follow, share it with a friend who needs Disney joy, and tell us your can’t-miss ride or holiday kitchen tip in a review.

Slow NFL Sunday And Playoff Talk

SPEAKER_02

Since 8 30.

SPEAKER_01

I've been waiting. That's what happens when he lives on the future, though. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Lou lives an hour in the future.

SPEAKER_04

In that case, an hour and eleven seconds in the future. Oh, what a terrible football game. The Broncos win again. Once again, they beat a losing team and they still suck because they have only one win against a team with a winning record.

SPEAKER_02

I think uh today was just a bad day of football overall.

SPEAKER_04

It was not exciting. You ain't lying.

SPEAKER_01

I think it's just a bad season.

SPEAKER_04

Well, part of it is, you know, you got the you got the four Thanksgiving Thursday Friday games, so we had less games. Nobody had a buy, so there's that. But so there's less games this weekend. They only had three in the afternoon, and they sucked. Um it was just bad football play, not even just bad games, just watching teams play. They played poorly. Uh yeah, I I definitely was half-ass paying attention and was and was multitasking when I usually don't do that um on a football Sunday, but uh, it was horrible football today.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, anybody uh anybody on this podcast that's gonna be paying the most closest attention to football is gonna be you. So the fact that you're saying, eh, eh.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it was and and nobody is I can imagine is looking forward to tomorrow to see the Patriots stomp all over the Giants. I mean, they better stomp on the Giants. The Jets won today, so that didn't that increase that it increases my draft chances. But the Jets losing or winning today. Jets had no business winning today, but whatever. Yeah, that is college, college, college was exciting, had some upsets in college, so that wasn't terrible. Texas beating AM might shake up things in the college football playoffs. We'll figure it out next week, you know, next week, and and then UNLV luxed themselves into a championship game against Boise State, who they lost to like 14 times in a row. And they lost earlier this season by like 20 or something. And because they had the higher whatever, or the head-to-head matchup, they lost to them earlier this season, like I just said, the championship game is Friday night in Boise. So it's like, oh great, UNW made the title game. Couldn't we play somebody else? Like, I like their chances against anybody else, but they can't beat Boise State for whatever reason. Now we can go play them. Oh yeah, they lulled them into this four-way tie and hope the computers would be in their favor.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Good job.

SPEAKER_01

Vegas, baby. Gambling.

SPEAKER_04

That's some 4D shit going on right there. You're playing checkers, I'm playing 4D chess. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And then Texas Tech, uh, they got a rematch with BYU for their title game. And if they win, they're likely gonna get a first-round bye. Be a top four pick in the playoff seed. Uh, and they beat BYU earlier in the year, and it wasn't even really that close. Like, they dominated them, and I expect them to dominate him again this year. And for those wondering why I care, uh Texas Tex and Lubbock, and O Girls from Lubbock, and I used to live in Lubbock for four years, so I kind of reaper Texas Tech when I can. USC, Texas Tech, Rutgers.

SPEAKER_02

So right now, as of I thought you'd be a Grambling fan, Lou.

SPEAKER_01

Wait, wait, what? I thought you'd be a Grambling fan. Your complexion leans that way.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Go yell.

SPEAKER_04

I'm here for Princeton versus Harvard. Thank you. Not Grambling vs. Southern.

SPEAKER_01

Sounds like you're watching Rowing. Uh that'll be later.

SPEAKER_04

Stroke! Stroke. Uh okay, what were we talking about, dude?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I was I think that's what I'm saying. I know, I was looking at the top 25, but they haven't updated it yet.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, they oh they had they updated the AP top 25. The the playoff position top 25 isn't it until uh Tuesday.

SPEAKER_06

Tuesday, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

There wasn't a whole lot of change. Like AM dropped to seven, tech moved up a spot, old Miss stayed the same. Um, so nothing really worth a damn. And again, it really doesn't matter until next week when the championship games are done.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, Texas dropped four spots, it looks like Georgia, Oregon, Texas Tech all moved up one or two spots.

SPEAKER_04

Because of AM's loss to Texas.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So I mean, we're only worried about the top 12 right now, right?

College Football Upsets And Rankings

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, the top 12 is who makes it. Top four get a bye.

SPEAKER_02

Uh so we got Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Oregon.

SPEAKER_04

Hold on, hold on. I and Ohio and Indiana play next week. So one of them's gonna drop out of the top four in theory. And then Georgia plays Alabama. So if Georgia wins, they're good to go. But if they lose, who knows what could happen to the top four?

SPEAKER_02

Uh then we got Oregon.

SPEAKER_04

Uh Oregon doesn't have a game, so they could sneak into the top four by like Indiana and Georgia losing. So there's some crazy shit that could happen.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Texas Tech, Old Miss, uh Texas AM, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Alabama, BYU, and Miami. The top three teams from the outside looking in as of right now are Vanderbilt, Texas, and Utah.

SPEAKER_04

Well, sort of. Don't forget, some of those lower schools get like one or two teams in, too. So somebody that's currently in that top 12 list is not gonna make it. Because, like, I don't know, Memphis or some bullshit, whatever league they're in, somebody has to make it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Because they paid the NCAA more money to make sure that they got Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So it'll be it'll be interesting. I'm looking forward to like like when when we're when we're at Disney, I will be paying attention to some of these scores. Um when when when it's like, hey Jack, where's the camera? You're gonna see me with my phone watching a game uh on the camera. Going through Space Mountain. Right? Watching, like cheering. You're gonna see the sad face or happy face in the photo based off of what's going on with the game. Oh, it would be great. Um so how was Thanksgiving? I'll start with you, Jack, because you probably had the roughest one in the instance that with uh your lady all all hobbled up, you had to do everything, no?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I did everything.

SPEAKER_06

I wasn't horrible. I mean I was on my feet all day, all tired and shit, hot, doing everything.

SPEAKER_01

And my mom came over, so that was something.

SPEAKER_04

Um wait to hear about that on Thursday.

SPEAKER_02

I'm gonna have a long car ride. We definitely we definitely need to wire it up so we can record the car ride, so we can Right, get a get a camera for the car and all three of us on. It'll just be a four-hour podcast.

SPEAKER_04

We'll just put it on YouTube, we'll do the live thing.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, there you go. Sorry, Jack, go ahead. So your mom came over.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean it wasn't bad. She came over, we watched football. Did we watch everything? Maybe. I think I let big one play rivals a little bit. Um but no, I mean, overall it was fine. It was only the day after um knee surgery. So my wife didn't come out yet. She wasn't quite mobile yet. Um she's been out of the way.

SPEAKER_04

Or so she said, so she could avoid all the hoofs. I was like, come on now.

SPEAKER_02

Who's coming over?

SPEAKER_04

Um, I didn't didn't I hear uh when I last time I checked, I checked in, I heard she's moving around okay. That's what I heard.

SPEAKER_02

Thanksgiving every time she opens the door. Every time she opens the door, fucking Peter Griffin's laying in bed.

SPEAKER_05

Ha! I'm dying. Oh.

SPEAKER_02

You're like fine. Fine. And then you then you and then you close the door and she's on a fucking half pipe, you hear a fucking skateboard, just like Nah, she's on the the good pain med, so they were fucking with her belly a little bit too.

SPEAKER_04

So that's what the good pain meds do sometimes.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. Okay, give me the ball shit that makes me look. I had leftovers.

SPEAKER_04

But but was there fruit salad?

SPEAKER_06

Hell yeah, there was. Your boy made it, it was delicious.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Okay. Make sure you freeze some. I ain't trying to eat green, moldy ass fruit salad.

SPEAKER_02

It is it's already green, Lou. I'll make sure I'll make a fresh batch.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, fresh batch to to bring down to uh to Disney.

SPEAKER_02

To the airport.

SPEAKER_04

That's a good point. It may not make it to Disney.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but Lou, Lou, you got Lou, you got like 15-20 minutes on this before it goes bad.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, done. It's like 15-20 minutes. What am I gonna do with the extra 14-19 minutes? Pretty much.

SPEAKER_01

No, I'll make it on uh on Sunday after the game. Wife said she probably won't be able to make it to the game. So it'll just be the three of us.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but they have all the ADA access and you can go to the customer service to get a different seat.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but walk into the bus and all that stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And also, as we found out when I was there, she don't like sitting somewhere anywhere else but her seats. She's like, no, I'm staying here.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, all right, bye. That's alright. It's a Denver game. I'll make some money off the ticket.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I was gonna say, I'd like to think that that there's enough like Denver, Pittsburgh, Cowboys, you know, teams, Kansas City, teams like them, you won't have a problem uh uh chucking that tickets.

SPEAKER_01

No, for the Cowboys game, we sold the girls tickets, 500 each.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. We'll just we'll just put that person on the inside, have you take the out.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, I told her. I said sell the the inside seat, and then we'll take the three on the out.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, yeah, cool, cool. But damn, okay then.

SPEAKER_01

But it'll help with our trip back at least, too, because then at least we're not like hurrying trying to make sure we have everything wrapped somewhere and yeah.

SPEAKER_04

We need to have a one or two. We have the one parking that we have to worry about, and then I'll I'll worry about after plans after. Like we'll drop you off and then we'll meet up with uh with yeah, we can at least come by and drop all your shit off and yeah, at least you're not like it'd be it'll it'll be early enough in the day that it's still a whole lot of time to do.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04

So cool, all right. Is that is that a done deal or is that a maybe? Or is she already like that?

SPEAKER_01

I think it's gonna be a done deal. Okay. I mean, she has physical therapy on Wednesday. So we'll see how mean they are to her and making her move.

SPEAKER_06

Do what she's gonna do.

SPEAKER_01

But she has like a cool knee brace on and everything, so like fucking Robocop. Yep. Nice.

SPEAKER_02

Did you know they're making a Stone Cold Oh Stone Cold Braces? You got Stone Cold braces. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Did y'all know they're making a a six billion dollar well now it's six billion dollar man movie? Really? Yeah. I think Marty Marks playing. I think Mark D. Mark's playing the lead or something. I can say that.

SPEAKER_02

I thought he'd be too short for that, but if I'm gonna have a six billion dollar mission, he's not gonna be five six.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I I would want I would want Peacemaker to do it. You know, something like that. So John, sorry. Duke, what about you? Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Recaps And Kitchen Chaos

SPEAKER_02

Uh I mean it was just a Friendsgiving. I was gonna make corn casserole, but then I got a call two days before saying don't worry about it, just bring wine. So I went to I went to grocery outlet and just bought a bunch of bottles of wine that nobody ended up drinking because somebody brought uh cranberry jello shots and eggnog jello shots and a big pitcher of uh cranberry punch. So everyone got everyone got lit up on all that. Didn't even drink water.

SPEAKER_03

Well that was just wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You're supposed to have the wine with the dinner.

SPEAKER_02

Right. Everybody was drinking the the punch.

SPEAKER_01

So it's a bunch of fucking unsophisticated motherfuckers. I'm about to say, man, that's why he's some uneducated motherfucking. I'm with you.

SPEAKER_02

I'm with you. I I was just like, I guess uh you got four bottles of wine. Bye. I'm not taking them with me. I'm not taking an empty bag, bitch. See ya.

SPEAKER_04

I'm gonna take it with me.

SPEAKER_02

No, I kept the death row wine. That was the one bottle. I can bought six bottles. I bought four bottles for them. I found they had one bottle of James Harden wine left. So I grabbed that shit, and then they had the death row wine, and I grabbed that, and that's on the that's on my shelf. I'm not gonna share that, baby. They the and the lady was like, I go, they had one bottle of James Harden wine. She goes, that's that's been people have been buying a ton of that. It must be really good. I go, uh, probably not. It's probably just because it has James Harden's name on it.

SPEAKER_04

Just because it's got the name, right? I would have taken all my shit. Fuck that. Maybe maybe I'll bring it out going home with me.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe I'm you know what? I might uh if I can figure it out, I might bring the I'll bring the uh death row wine and the uh and the James Harden wine and we'll do a taste test.

SPEAKER_04

They'd have to be in your check bag.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's fine. I'll have my check bag.

SPEAKER_04

So you I usually you don't do check bags, so I'm surprised.

SPEAKER_02

Well I am because I gotta get all my stuff from Jack's house. So I'm flying first class. And uh so I get two check bags. So I'm bringing my points on the flight down, I'm gonna have my carry-on packed into my regular check bag. And so that way if I need two bags, then I got it covered. And the few items of clothing, since I'll just be wearing all of my Roosevelt's that are in Jack's house.

SPEAKER_04

Well that reminds me, which day were we wearing the uh Sith Floral?

SPEAKER_01

I think that's Thursday, isn't it? It's cause that's what I that's what I thought. Roosevelt's at the park necessarily with backpacks and sweaty and all that.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. I mean, that's mostly true. I'm gonna wear one anyway. I'm gonna wear my guest owned one on I don't know, th uh Friday or Saturday. I haven't picked what day yet, but I but I thought it I thought but it like I said, if it wasn't Friday or Saturday for the Sith, I was like, I'm almost certain it's Thursday, but I'll double check. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Friday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday is in Anaheim right now is supposed to be 7270 and 68 is the high.

SPEAKER_04

Good, because I had like 17 degrees yesterday.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, exactly. Like it hasn't been above 50 here in like a week, so I'm like, I am I'm gonna be like, yes, Queen. Dude, for real.

SPEAKER_04

Like I'm looking at right now, uh, it is 15 degrees right now. Tomorrow is low of 13, high of 38. Now, Wednesday we're showing snow, so I'm hoping it's like early Wednesday. So when we leave on our flight Thursday, it's all that shit's cleared out. Because I definitely well, I guess we could take her car. She's got a Jeep.

SPEAKER_00

Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty.

SPEAKER_02

So um, so yeah, so it was just a Friendsgiving uh turkey ham. Um a guy made like a gratten potatoes off of like a TikTok video that ended up being really, really good. I don't know. Or no, it was a YouTube, it was a YouTube chef guy that he watches that does like he'll take like a base thing and then he'll do something different to it. And so he took like a gratten potatoes and then like they were in like he chopped up with the potatoes but kept them as like a whole potato and then like put them side by side with each other and then put all the shit on top of it, and then the cheese and stuff like melted into the in between the uh the cuts, and it was actually ended up being really good. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_04

So that sounds like work, man.

SPEAKER_02

Well, he does he's the guy that also brought all the jello shots and the punch and he made all of it himself type of thing. And so uh somebody's an overachiever. Yeah. Was he the host? No. Nope. Fuck that dude. But he's one of those guys, he defin he's one of those guys that he's like, if I'm assigned something, like I'm gonna make sure it's it's memorable, you know? Um, I mean respect to him for an intention whore.

SPEAKER_04

He's allowed to be an attention whore if you want.

SPEAKER_02

Respect for him for you know putting the time in. I was just like, I spent 20 minutes walk buying wine.

SPEAKER_04

That's 20 minutes, that's too long. Just walk in, say, hey, I need some friends to give me wine. Over here. Thank you. Five minutes, you're out. Like, I need a bottle, no more than eight bucks a bottle.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_04

Um go to Trader Joe's, two bucks check.

SPEAKER_02

I think the uh the death row was like eight dollars and the James Harden ended up being like ten, I think. So Yay.

SPEAKER_00

I guess that's not horrible.

SPEAKER_02

Or we'll just have to go to grocery outlet down in LA and see if we can find see if we can find the death row wine.

SPEAKER_04

You gotta think they'd have it in the LA area.

SPEAKER_02

Well, it's probably sold out. Oh, is it a specialty thing? No, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_04

I was gonna say they just restock all the time. I ain't trying to worry about that.

SPEAKER_02

So but we can talk about that after. And then uh just talking about Thanksgiving now or the whole weekend?

SPEAKER_04

Well, then you had your turtle your turkey bowl, right? You and your friends went out and played football.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_01

I we actually didn't even have football on. Because I was thinking I was yeah. Is it really Thanksgiving without the Cowboys?

SPEAKER_04

I mean, and the Lions. I mean, I mean, let's be real. Like my was simple. I mean, first of all, all three games that that just happened. Uh that there is TV was on, uh, old girl was watching that dumbass parade that they do every year. Um and she's like, yeah, traditional. I'm like, alright, you watch it all you want, but turn that shit off when the game comes on. It's like it's off when the game comes on. And I'm like, okay, great. 1101. Why is this still on? Uh switch that shit.

SPEAKER_01

If she watched it live, it would have been.

SPEAKER_04

What is it? Oh, New York. So I guess it could have been East Coast, so it could have been earlier. I mean, I I offered to put up the other TV. Like, if you want to keep watches, I will put it on the other TV and I will put the game on the big TV, and you can watch. He's like, no, I'm fine. Alright. Because I was like, uh, but there's rules, man. Football. And more football, and then more football, and then football.

SPEAKER_01

Uh no, there are only three games though.

SPEAKER_04

That's pro, man. There's like five college games on, too. What are you talking about? Y'all missing out. Uh food-wise was simple. Uh I had a turkey breast in the oven, and I microwaved everything else. It was great. Mashed potatoes. Well, that's not true. The stuffing was cooked on the stove. Uh stovetop, yeah. Damn right, because it was it was water, butter, and throw the shit in five minutes, good to go. And butter. Everything else, and butter. Mashed potatoes.

SPEAKER_02

And butter.

unknown

And butter.

SPEAKER_04

Gravy, son. Uh-uh. If I'm gonna drown it, I'm gonna drown it in gravy. Not butter.

SPEAKER_02

Stovetop, though. Stovetop though.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, stovetop gravy. It's gonna be make the stovetop, add a half stick of butter, and then after that, add gravy till there's no tomorrow. Um mashed potatoes, microwave, green beans, microwave. Uh, she wanted sweet potatoes with marshmallows, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pineapples.

SPEAKER_06

Um, bruh.

SPEAKER_04

This is just saying the leftovers went, that went with her.

SPEAKER_01

So Boris wanted me to make mashed sweet potatoes. I'm like, cool. Those are good. So that was good. So, but no pineapples, though. Fuck does that?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it was designed to be sweet, and I get it, and I never had it that way. I've done the marshmallows with the brown sugar and cinnamon uh and the butter. I've done that all the time. She said she had this recipe from a relative of hers, a friend of hers, relative, whatever. Uh, and that's how she does it. I'm like, all right, that's what you want. Because that was really not my jam anyway, right? It was like, I didn't care if I had it at all. It's like, I will make it how you want it. And I kept kind of fiddling with it. It was like, add his head, is it enough pineapple? Uh, maybe a little more. I'm like, okay. And then, and then the second, the second time, like that was lunch, because I cook when I do Thanksgiving, I want to have it ready by lunchtime. Um, and then leftovers for dinner time. Um, unless I'm going to somebody else's place uh and then you know dinner at their place, but whatever. Uh the second time, it was like uh she wanted more marshmallows and kind of wanted them a little more melty. I'm like, why don't you just tell me to get marshmallow cream? I would have used that. And she said, no, no, no, no. The way, I guess the way the family member made them was actual marshmallows. So this time I she ate her plate and there were still the sweet tomatoes, sweet sweet tomatoes, Jesus, sweet potatoes uh left. So I took the plate and I took the the the mini the mini marshmallows, because that's what I uh I got because I don't like marshmallows for the most part anyway, unless they're mixed with something fantastic. Black Fruit or cocaine.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, what um what?

SPEAKER_04

You know what? I take that back. I I am I am marshmallow moody. Every once in a while, it's like pickles. Every once in a while, I'm fine with them. Other times, they're disgusting get them away from me.

SPEAKER_01

So it's that's my own second dick.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, you know, but well, that's all of us. I mean, let's be real.

Movie Week: Sequels, Remakes, And Box Office

SPEAKER_02

You know, sometimes it's just like I hope you motherfuckers are in the mood this weekend, cuz Yeah, it's painting green for Luke's, he'll be in the pickle mood. That's true. That's true.

SPEAKER_04

That's like fighting the loose too soon. Too soon. I'm pickleoon.

SPEAKER_02

That's how you know I'm done.

SPEAKER_04

Pickle loo. That's his version of the tap on the head.

SPEAKER_05

Yep, yep. Give me your O face. Pickle loo.

SPEAKER_04

Oh shit. Well, yeah, so I microwaved the marshmallows this time, and she liked that better when it was all gooey and all that. I'm like, all right. But the tick, the turkey breast was white meat, so when she left, it was like, that goes with you. Oh, that sweet potato stuff, that goes with you, the apple pie, that basically I just kept it.

SPEAKER_02

So you had so you had yourself a real nice uh lunch of mashed potatoes and green beans on Friday and hamstakes and hamstaking stuffing.

SPEAKER_04

And I did have my ham, I did have my hamsteak, and I did have a turkey leg. The turkey, the turkey wings, uh, I left them out in the fridge too long and they went bad. But the turkey legs were fine. Pain in the ass to eat, though. Turkey legs got all them fucking tendons and shit in it. It's so hard to eat a turkey leg. That's the last time I do that. I'm just gonna stick with the wings. Or even better, if I could find some place that had fucking thighs. I couldn't find turkey thighs for shit. Whatever. I'm me, they have them. My my mom's gotten them before, so I know they're around. I I'd be the first to admit, I did not try hard to look for them. Um and like next year, if I don't find the wings, I will do, I will make the effort to find the thighs. Um I I ate the turkey breasts.

SPEAKER_02

Uh drowning gravy.

SPEAKER_04

You know, yeah, obviously with gravy and lots of it. But it was fine, not just not preferred, is all.

SPEAKER_02

You want a little turkey with your gravy there, Lou?

SPEAKER_04

Just a little.

SPEAKER_02

Just a little.

SPEAKER_04

If if I'm done with that turkey and don't need a straw, I fucked up. Why do you got a spoon to eat your turkey? Shut up. Don't ask questions.

SPEAKER_02

Lou at the end. What's Lou doing? Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. He's fucking finishing off a milkshake.

SPEAKER_04

Hell yeah. Turkey gravy gibbleth milkshake. Sounds so good. Makes you want to jump into that second jar and just throw a straw in it. Shit. Don't even gotta heat it up.

SPEAKER_02

I think I got a new uh I think I have a new set of words that I never want to hear Lou use in an order again. Especially because he almost sounded like Bill Cosby when he said it.

SPEAKER_06

Nah.

SPEAKER_04

I don't I don't need to drug the jar of gravy, it's fine.

SPEAKER_00

Does the turkey gravy want some pudding bumps?

SPEAKER_04

But yeah, that was basically our day, man. I she she she wasn't feeling all that great. Uh so she chilled for a bit and then uh then yeah. Um heated everything up, watched the games. Um we watched something afterwards. I know sometime during the week, like we went and saw I think we saw a Tuesday movie.

SPEAKER_06

Tuesday was a Tuesday movie.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. I don't did I thought we talked about that because they were saying the Tuesday movies were full price. Correct. Yes, you did say something about that, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

But we still that was part of the thread, and I was pissed, but I went anyway. Because Jack's like, okay, well it's holiday season, so they want all your money because they know you're gonna go anyway. I'm like, that is true, we went anyway.

SPEAKER_02

So and what was your uh viewing pleasure at full price on Tuesday?

SPEAKER_04

Um now you see me, now you don't. Okay. Well it's bat and ang price, so that's still that. Still say three bucks, six total. And we got that movie. It was a fun movie. Right? Yeah. Yeah, that's about it. It was it was super fun, but it's starting to get a little over the top. Um Fast and the Furious style going to space. Uh I was like, okay, come on, y'all. They're gonna put this kid in an indie car and he's just supposed to know how to drive it right off the bat. Get out of here with that crap. Um but but no, it was a it was an entertaining movie, and it definitely set up for a fourth one.

SPEAKER_01

They said if they go four, they're gonna bring it back down to like the first uh first movie.

SPEAKER_04

Good, because they need to chill with that.

SPEAKER_01

Wheel it in a little bit.

SPEAKER_04

The uh other movie we watched this weekend uh was that first Sisu movie. After watching the second one, yeah, we were both kind of excited about it. Uh we watched that and enjoyed the hell out of it. I I honestly, I gotta say, second one was better. I I thought the second one was better and not not like a 92 versus an 86, you know, type of thing. They're both good movies, high B's, low A's, but the second one I thought was better. Um and then we watch something else. Man, I can't remember what it was though. Um neither one of us thought it was fantastic, but we didn't think it was bad. Oh, yeah, it was. It was the roses. The rose the dialogue was fantastic, phenomenal. The banter, the back and forth between those two actors in this remake was phenomenal. Loved it. Um I yeah, I I could why I could watch that again. That was that was a fun movie. So C Sue Roses, right? And now you see yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Wow, you definitely uh went all over the board for your uh movie watching this week, Lou.

SPEAKER_04

Right? I'm gonna just think but actually no. Never mind.

SPEAKER_01

Watch a little this, a little that.

SPEAKER_04

Oh yeah, it was I was all over the place. And it was good though. So those are three movies that we watched, and um liked them all. Um man, I don't know what order I'd put them in, but there that I was entertained with all of them. So that between that and finishing up season one of uh Avatar's Last Airbender, that was my view.

SPEAKER_01

I took the girls to go see um Zootopia too. The deuce. Yes, yeah, the new one.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I was gonna say, don't forget part two because old girl took her little one yesterday and she said it was good.

SPEAKER_01

You it was. It was as good, if not better, than the first one. I mostly wanted the Lorcana card because you know I'm a huge Lorcana fan.

SPEAKER_04

I know what I forgot I forgot to ask her if we got that, but I did see that they are giving that away.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but I loved Lorcana, so I hadn't you know. No, I thought it was super good. It was a good story. I mean, shit, it broke all kinds of records this weekend, too.

SPEAKER_04

I mean should have like we talked like we talked about, man. The kids movies always do because they get those parent tickets.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Zootopia 2 for the weekend made ninety six million dollars. But from its opening, it's made$156 million. Uh Wicked for Good came in second place with sixty. And it has made 270 overall. Now you see the net. Yeah. Only 270 so far. Is that domestic? It's domestic. Worldwide. Domestic. Okay, okay. I can do worldwide. You want me to do worldwide? I'll do worldwide.

SPEAKER_04

She said no, she didn't get the Zootopia card.

SPEAKER_02

Womp womp. Damn. Hang on. Come on. What are you doing? International.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you're supposed to get if you it's only at Cinemark, though. Do they go to Cinemark? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's what we have here in Baltimore.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it says see the film between 1126 and 11.30 and get a collectible foil card. Mm-mm.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to go to I'm gonna have to go to the theater tomorrow and act black.

SPEAKER_01

Right. My white woman came down here and you didn't treat her as such.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, she was here with a little one. And last time I checked, it said supposed to have a card. Um, and there wasn't one. So I'm gonna need you to find one, or I'm gonna find one through you.

SPEAKER_01

And they're like, sir, down here it says well supply is last.

SPEAKER_04

I'm like, you better go find some supply then. Trust me, it's in your best interest. I'll go back to jail. I don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_06

I ain't scared.

SPEAKER_04

Usually when you tell them you'll go back to jail, they usually listen. It's weird that way. I don't get it. So how'd you get them, Jack? At the because you you got it tickets.

SPEAKER_01

So when you can scan in, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. Scan in they said, thank you, sir. I did not make it to a movie this weekend.

SPEAKER_02

No movies here. I know. Bullshit.

SPEAKER_04

Not even like at home, streaming, nothing.

SPEAKER_02

No. I was I just checked my plex to just see what I had watched, and all I watched was I downloaded a 4K of Smoke and Aces, which is a like bounty hunter movie from like the mid-2000s. It's not great, but I it's one of my guilty pleasures. So I saw there was a 4K release of it, so I'll like ah check it out. Alicia Keys from back in the day.

SPEAKER_01

I remember that one.

Friendsgiving Tales And Questionable Beverages

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. Yeah, we went to the theater to watch it. Yes, we did. I remember I remember the name of it. Ben Affleck. Ryan Reynolds Pine before he was Ryan Reynolds, Chris Pine before he became Captain Kirk. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I don't remember it, so no spoilers.

SPEAKER_02

Everybody dies. Uh Common. Common was in it. Um Wayne Newton. And uh Jeremy Piven, I guess. Yeah, Jeremy Piven? Uh oh, Joel Edgerton was in it. Uncle Owen was in it. Yep. That was it. And I watched Plairbus. Plairybus is still a great show. I'm very much enjoying it. Um, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Besides that, though. Did you guys start watching Landman yet?

SPEAKER_02

Hey. Uh no, not yet. You? No. No. Alright. It'll have to be after.

SPEAKER_01

We were caught up watching this show on the TV called All Her Fault. It was actually pretty decent. It's about this kid that gets kidnapped, and it's like a usual suspects kind of mystery around it. It was pretty good. You were just hoping it was a thing same. Look, sometimes it is just the girls' fault. I mean, in this in this movie it was all the women's fault. Yeah. I mean, all the surprising. Yeah. Bunch of rich bitches and their nannies and shit.

SPEAKER_04

It's like you having three dishwashers. Same thing. Right?

SPEAKER_01

I told that to the little one. I was doing dishes. I was loading up our two dishwashers. And she's like, oh, it's a good thing we have two. I said, no, we got three. She's like, where? I pointed at her, her sister, and her mom. And she's like, I don't get it. And I whispered, I'm like, it's because you're a girl. She goes running, Mama. Daddy says, because I'm a girl, I'm a dishwasher. And then all of a sudden you hear, and she comes out of the room. Jack. No, she was on the couch. Oh. She was watching the we were watching live PD all night after the game. Something. She was back on the air. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I just was envisioning your wife just coming out of the room with robot legs onto a nine. Yeah. You have 20 steps. It's a step plot. Uh oh, it's a step.

SPEAKER_04

Three three dishwashers, three laundry, three laundromats. You're good to go over there. Yeah, it's like, oh, check it out. This is this is my daughter. I mean, my sandwich maker. It's like, oh, you three of those things.

SPEAKER_02

My sandwich artist. She works at some point.

SPEAKER_04

Although, although the although the the big could probably put together a mean ass sandwich if she wanted to. She could.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not saying she feels her sister sometimes, and I'm like, dang.

SPEAKER_04

Right. I could see I could see she's like, no effort, no motivation. But when you put her to it and it's like, it has to be this, oh, she's gonna blow it out of the fucking ballpark.

SPEAKER_02

You walk in the room and there's fire like coming off of a walk as she's like flipping shit. You're like, right?

SPEAKER_04

What is what is this? Yeah, you're doing the whole scoop thing. Like, what the yeah, yeah, I could totally see that with her. I can absolutely see that with her. It's like, uh, I don't want to. I don't want to. Okay, fine, I'll do it.

SPEAKER_02

And then it's fucking great because it becomes an episode of chopped, you just hear you're like, what is who is doing this right now?

SPEAKER_04

Ain't no joke, man. I could totally see that. Over overall, I would say fairly quiet. Like I went outside and and I'd had some errands to do, but nothing crazy, you know. It was try to hunt down some durables, found what I needed, found what Jack needed, found what uh old girl needed. It was a good it was a good hunt. Uh Friday, Black Friday, they uh uh some of the stores actually restocked in the sense of new cases.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. So I was like, more foot traffic coming in. It makes sense.

SPEAKER_04

Um it was weird, it was weird though, because I I hit about seven or eight Walmarts on Friday, and the the uh the the the Posh the Posh neighborhoods did not have a lot of people in their stores. Those fuckers were all shopping online. The ghetto neighborhoods, holy hell, that's where it was a nightmare. The parking lot inside, uh it was crazy. And then you know how they put up the sales at Walmart Black Friday, like in the middle aisle. Uh huh. You can see all the different stuff. Yep. And I I went and I did, I did my I did my look, and it was like, oh man, this knife set looks badass. It's like this this cup crease. Oh, look at these utensils. It's in a tall cylindrical container for everything. And even they even have a spaghetti thingy. I was like, oh I could totally do that. So, oh what? A coffee pot with the cure rig built in? Man. So yeah, that's the shit that's gonna be. Uh for 350, and 85 inch TV for 500.

SPEAKER_02

Which one did you get?

SPEAKER_04

All three. Well, dude, man. Right? I was like, I'm looking up now, it wasn't for these Funko Pops, I could put like two eighty-fives next to each other. And like do the things. Although I could probably get away with four if I stack a rake, you know, the whole if if you could connect them, you could probably get away with like four sixty five.

SPEAKER_01

Hold on, let me get my tent measure. Hold on.

SPEAKER_04

No, no, no. I could I can figure because Funko Pop six inch, that's 18 right. So yeah, uh, with the diagonal hypotenuse, yeah. I could probably go 65, 465, two across two up next year. Next year, when when the 65s are now$89 instead of the 43 inches. Dude, I I still could I I'm not even kidding. A 43-inch TV for under 100 bucks after tax. That just blew my mind.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_04

I don't want a TV in my bedroom, but I almost had to put one in there for principal, the matter.

SPEAKER_01

Right? It was on sale, damn it. I couldn't say no. Got a TV in your kitchen.

SPEAKER_04

I'm wasting money, but not doing it.

SPEAKER_02

Don't put it in your bedroom, put it in your bathroom, Lou.

SPEAKER_04

Uh, my bathroom ain't big enough where I would. That's the first place. Yeah. I already take long enough in there as it is, I'd be in there for three hours. Like, what are you doing? I gotta finish the movie.

SPEAKER_02

Lou ends up. I haven't seen it yet. Lou ends up in the hospital with fucking dead ass. What's wrong? I was watching Titanic while I was shooting while pooping. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

It went from I gotta finish my game to I gotta finish this movie. Next is gonna be I gotta finish this series. I'm on episode seven. Leave me alone. I ain't watching that shit until part two comes out.

SPEAKER_02

Lou takes uh Lou takes the battle, the Battlestar Galactica Portlandia sketch to the nth degree. Just one more. Just one more. I got water right here. That's all I need. Just some water.

Karaoke Schemes And Setlists

SPEAKER_04

Right. It's like if I have to poop again, I'm already there. It works out. Yeah. That'd be great. But yeah, overall though, their sales. Um, I'm sure there were some good stuff. I did not pay attention. I only looked at what was on the floor. And you know, the typical the towels and pillows and you know that type of stuff. Wrote pajama sets and slippers, all that was basic. But I'm not kidding. The two things that really did stand out were the uh the cutlery set and the utensil set. The the cutlery set, because I don't actually have one. I have like one knife that I use to cut everything. Um and I don't I like I don't have a bread knife, I don't have a tomato knife, I don't have a cheese knife, um, I don't have any of that shit. Um I have three state knives, uh some cut knife that I got from Walmart because I had to watch a presentation they gave it to me for free. I've been using that for 15 years. Um and it's like it's like, all right, uh, this is kind of cool. The problem is it was just the knives and sheets. They didn't have like it wasn't like a block, right? You didn't know place to put the knives. So the drawer that I have my utensils in, I was like, I could toss all this shit, put the knives in there, and then use the new utensils shit that I just saw at Walmart that's on sale for my new utensils. And then I can put it on the counter. I was like, oh. Then I was like, nah, what the hell for? I don't need that. The Tupperware, the rubber made Tupperware that they do every year. It's stuff in price. Yeah, exactly. It's like that shit's usually$6.96. It was$7.97 this year, so it's a dollar more they can f off. The stuff I have still works. But uh, but yeah, so I mean, and all obviously all the Walmarts had the same thing. They were all priced, they're almost all priced the same. It was like$7.97 at one, at like six of the seven Walmarts. One Walmart had them for eight. I was like, Y'all price match your own Walmarts? I need to save three cents. So uh that was Friday. Saturday, wait, I think I had no Saturday. I don't know. Saturday was I think Friday. Yeah, I was gonna say it was like two days ago. I don't remember.

SPEAKER_02

No, it was it was yesterday, Lou. Yesterday. Not even Tuesday. No, Friday. No, you just thought you were trying to think about it.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, then I switched. I was like, no, it was Friday. Because Friday, because I ended up having lunch with little girls, the Chinese buffet.

SPEAKER_01

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Uh and then Saturday was college football. I don't think I left the house yesterday. I don't remember if I did or not. Because I think I did all my errands on Friday. And I just watched college football on Saturday and then pro today, and that's it. So yeah, now is my weekend. Do you guys have anything extra? Anything exciting to throw in there?

SPEAKER_01

No. Shit. I was doing shit around the house since I'm home. Catching up on shit.

SPEAKER_02

It is jack-off time.

SPEAKER_06

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

For a whole week. No, and tomorrow's back to the grind taking the girls to school and shit, picking them up. Um I don't think I'm doing anything the next couple days. Wednesday is busy. Wednesday is I gotta take the cat to go get snipped. My mom has to go to the dentist. Big one has a girl doctor appointment. Wife starts physical therapy. The Duke shows up.

SPEAKER_02

Yep. To put a to put a cherry on top of that cake of errands for the day. Yeah, I'll figure it out somehow.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no. I think they got nothing.

SPEAKER_02

You think they'll get mad if I just change into my swim trunks while on the plane? No, no, that'll be fine. Because that'll give me tips. Hi Jack, how are you doing? Hot tub. Drink hot tub.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it'll be 55 on Wednesday. You'll be alright. Yeah. Yeah. Glorious.

SPEAKER_04

Um did not consider that at all. I'm like, oh yeah, I guess that's that's uh could be a thing too. I had not thought about that.

SPEAKER_02

So I just gotta remember to I don't want I don't need swim trucks. What are you talking about? Right. Uh just I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Everyone's window is right there. So I mean all right, fine. Fine. And you'll just hear this knock, knock, knock, knock. Dow! I see your butt.

SPEAKER_02

Glad that'll be that it should stop there. We'll just stop it right there.

SPEAKER_04

Probably safer that way.

SPEAKER_02

We won't get demonetized from our three viewers. Um Friday, I went with some friends and we saw Die Hard the Musical.

SPEAKER_06

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Fun. So it was fucking hilarious. Uh they had a counter on stage that counted all of the Bruce Willis references for other movies that he's been in. Nice. And some and they got up to 45. Wow. So uh some of them were some of them were fucking corny as shit, but well done. Um they had a part where so the scene the scene from Die Hard the movie when McLean and Gruber meet for the first time and he's like, I'm an American. Right. So they do that, but then like they had taken a bunch of uh suggestions from the audience of characters in media, like American media. So then they put them all into like the suggestion box, and he's like, Oh, if you're American, then then give then show me an impression of and he reaches in the box and he pulls out the thing and he reads it and he goes, Weird how Yankovic. And the the person playing Hans Gruber goes, What? And then and then McClain just fucking loses it and just starts laughing his ass off. And he was, but you could tell it was not this was not like part of the show. Right. He was just like, uh, so then so then he starts doing like the accordion, and he and then he just shrugs his shoulders and he goes, Okay, hang on, no, no, no, I'll give you another one. So he pulls two more out and he looks at the first one and then he sees the second one. He's like, Nope. So then he goes, Okay, I want you to do an impression of the plastic bag from American Beauty.

SPEAKER_03

It was so artsy.

SPEAKER_01

The most beautiful thing in the world. Right.

SPEAKER_02

And so so McClain, so he starts like acting like a plastic bag just floating in the air, and McLean's like, oh, it's the most beautiful thing in the world. And then but they uh uh that's pretty funny. The person who played Hansa Gruber 100% knew the assignment and was on board, just a terrible German accent through the whole thing, just a complete prick. Uh Alice, every single time that Ellis came on the screen, he was covered in more and more cocaine. So by the time he got to his death scene, the entire his entire like from his face down to halfway down his jacket was just covered in white white powder. Um like it was it was pretty fantastic. Um I guess next year they're gonna do um Scream. And the people that I was with, some of them had seen Saw the musical, which they said they just turned it into like a gay lover, like a romance.

SPEAKER_01

I mean it's a musical, so yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Um they've seen Evil Dead like three times. That one, you if you sit in like the first three rows, you wear a white t-shirt because you get covered in blood. Um that it's like a Gallagher concert. Yeah. Gallagher concert with jugulars. Yeah. So yeah, I'm definitely definitely into go. I guess they do a Star Trek where they they call it the uh what uh uh USS Impro and improv Improvision something. Something it's but it's I guess that one's all like they create their own episode of Star Trek based on people's uh yelling things from the audience. Random shit. So yeah. So we might have to go check that out at some point, but it was a ton of fun. And then after that on Friday night, I went and met up with another group of friends, and we went to uh club and watched uh DJs who were ones that got that I listened to a lot when I first got into electronic music, the glitch mob. So they were here performing on that night, and so it was a very, very long night, but it was fun. Saturday we went and had dinner and then went to the hockey game, as I shared with you guys. We have the winner hawk, which are a junior junior league team. But I got to share with Jack and Lou. I got to see some guy that is a big prospect for the Golden Knights, so I got to see him before they did.

SPEAKER_06

Previews.

Travel Logistics And Airline Hacks

SPEAKER_02

Uh and yeah, and I can tell you he's very good. Like he definitely I mean, he's not like Sidney Crosby skating around every single person on the ice good, but he was when he was on the go and they ended up winning like seven to two. So I mean they stomped the hell out of him. Uh they stopped every fight. Uh no, he had two assists. Um they stopped every fight before it happened, which was really upsetting. Because there was like four of them. Um the guy who did the puck, the chuck a puck or the puck shot where they have the they have the screen, they have the gullick covered, and then they just have like a little slot that's just big enough for the puck. Like the guy literally, like, if it would have been one inch over, it would have went in, and everyone because usually people go out there and they hit it, and it just goes like it's like watching somebody do like a half court shot, and you're just like, wait, you would not have made a layup with that motherfucker, but this guy got super close. Like we were all like, oh shit, this might actually go, and he would have won a pickup trick, but instead he gets dick haul.

SPEAKER_06

So yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Um and yeah, then that was Saturday. And then we went out to a bar afterwards and drank and hung out for a bit with uh same group of people, and that was fun, and then today was just like recovery. And uh liquid Ivy. Yeah. Uh I went and had dinner with my sister because I did not see her on Thanksgiving. So Oh, that's nice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So we got caught up. So I guess a weekend. I guess it was a it was a a busy weekend, but good.

SPEAKER_04

Are you off all week too?

SPEAKER_02

No. I work through probably I'll work through Wednesday midday. My plan is to head out around two to go to the airport. So and then I'll be off Thursday and Friday. So I think my I think my flight leaves at 5 57 or something like that, and I land in I land in uh Vegas at like eight. Okay, okay. So I'll pick the car.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's earlier than I thought, actually.

SPEAKER_02

Let me double check because I think they they bumped it up. Like they made it earlier, which was weird, because originally I think it was supposed to be like 6.04 was my takeoff.

SPEAKER_04

They moved our flight from 10 a.m. to nine fifty-nine a.m.

SPEAKER_02

Does that make sense? No, not at all.

SPEAKER_04

It does not. They sent me an email about it and everything. It was like, uh, what exactly is the change? I'm like, one minute, and they had to first of all, they were required to make that change. And like, right? All right, Michael Jackson, make that change.

SPEAKER_01

I would have just said, oh shit, we got here a minute early. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02

Uh my flight leaves at 5 47. I landed at 8 03, and I ordered the turkey and bacon sandwich for my flight. Yep. And then the flight back is 7 10 a.m. on Sunday morning, and I land at 9 41. So I'll be home in time for football. Not that I'll want to watch that shit.

SPEAKER_04

So we have to get you to the airport at 5?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, probably like 5, 5.30, something like that. So we probably need to leave around 4. I think if we if we leave 4-4.30, I think that should be plenty of time. I'm guessing the airport's not going to be super busy on a random Sunday morning.

SPEAKER_04

It's not that far away. It's like fucking an hour and a half or so. If that.

SPEAKER_02

And I have global, so I get to cut the line. So I'll just need time to check my bags. That'll be it. But I haven't got the I guess uh if you fly enough with Alaska, you can get the digital tag that will actually like Bluetooth connect to your phone and download all the the tag info. So basically you just walk right up and don't you don't have to print anything out, which I think is kind of cool.

SPEAKER_06

That's cool.

SPEAKER_02

That's cool. Yeah. But it it's not like a universal one, it's one just for Alaska.

SPEAKER_04

So but I But how do they they gotta put something on your bag?

SPEAKER_02

Well, you have the tag, so it's like a it's like a uh You said you don't print nothing out. No, no, no. It's a tag that's permanently on your bag. It's like a luggage tag that it has like an L C D screen. So it it like you when you check your bag, it like uploads all the information, it has the barcode, so you just walk right up, they scan the barcode on the the RF the luggage tag, and then so you don't have to print it. You you have to order it, like you get it from them. You earn it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So okay, never mind. That's more work than I thought.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I mean, if you like I could see it if you're like a business flyer and you fly all the time on like one on one airline. Oh yeah, of course. Like that would totally make sense. But I I mean I fly the majority.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know. You might don't you fly them all the time anyway?

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I try to. I really do like flying Alaska. It's it's my preferred flight. So um yeah, I might look into it. I'll let you guys know, and if not, then I can give a review of how well it works. Or it doesn't work, or it doesn't work, exactly. Or it doesn't. So well, yeah, so busy weekend. Rolling in. We got karaoke on Tuesday night, and then karaoke on Thursday night. What what if you know what?

SPEAKER_04

If we have hip hop night, that's when I'll do it becomes the odd step one. We all we all yeah, we all pick a hip hop song.

SPEAKER_02

And it can't be waterfalls.

SPEAKER_04

Nah, you can do waterfalls, it's gonna be the weird owl version.

SPEAKER_02

There you go. Nah, it'd be no scrubs. That would be fun to do altogether. Put it on after the uh the Jedi, the weirdo Jedi song.

SPEAKER_04

Song's so long.

SPEAKER_02

Do we want to do Yoda this time?

SPEAKER_00

Instead of Yoda Yo Yoda. Yo yo yo.

SPEAKER_02

I think it's a shorter song, so it might be It is. Especially if we're jumping into the freight at the very beginning. Our drunk ass is White and Nerdy. There you go. It's probably the most appropriate Definitely All about the Pentiums, baby.

SPEAKER_04

All about the Pentiums, what?

SPEAKER_00

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_04

Hackers, cool crackers, slackers, none of the things.

SPEAKER_01

And here's the part that's getting cut out of the pocket. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Liz is doing karaoke, so maybe not. That's true. No, now we're just gonna get for the video's getting a copyright strike, is what's gonna happen. Um depending on how long we stay on Thursday, uh, we I mean we gotta throw in some Toto.

SPEAKER_04

No, old girl hates that song. If you're gonna be.

SPEAKER_02

I'll wait until she goes to the bathroom and then we'll Yeah, they did sing that shit.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_04

Uh, free following is my go-to for Tom Petty.

SPEAKER_02

Nice. Yeah, I was looking at my history. The nice thing is the webs the website, they have a good website for the karaoke place we do go to. So you can like go and look at your history from like from years ago. Like it has like my it has it has like my whole like we're going back years. Damn. Going all the way back to 2017.

SPEAKER_04

Deja vu? Yeah. They have that in Vegas, like a hundred hot uh hot girls and like three ugly ones.

SPEAKER_02

But I thought they also had that in Hollywood. I thought that was one of those the buildings we one of the places we had walked by when we were.

SPEAKER_04

Might have been, I mean you probably ain't wrong. I mean, strippers, strippers need a spot everywhere.

SPEAKER_02

True. Yep, as I'm now looking it up. Right.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know if O'Girl's gonna sing, and and if so, what I mean, she'll be drunk after one or two drinks anyway, so she'll be fine after that. I think she'd be more comfortable if it was like a duet to start, and then maybe I don't know if she goes.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, she could just join the group. She doesn't necessarily or the group tongs, she doesn't have to.

SPEAKER_04

That's what I'm saying. I'm not gonna.

SPEAKER_01

She's gonna be a groupie, it's fine. Throwing draws at everyone.

SPEAKER_04

I was gonna say, but we better see titties if she's if she's gonna be a groupie. She ain't showing titties from the booth, and she ain't doing it right.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_02

We'll do it for New Year's. That'll be our New Year's show.

SPEAKER_04

That might not be terrible. We don't have anything going on. New Year's. That might not be terrible. I don't have anything planned, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. The stuff we normally have planned, the place that we've been going to for the last couple years is gonna be closed over New Year's.

SPEAKER_04

So breaking news.

SPEAKER_02

What's the breaking news? News stories.

SPEAKER_04

Luca Donchett. Fears and Jeremiah Fierce assess technical fouls in a chippy game that the Lakers probably won. They're playing the Pelicans. They should have won.

SPEAKER_01

I saw that. I'm like, what the fuck are the Pelicans?

SPEAKER_04

New Orleans.

SPEAKER_06

Nolans or something? I was like, what?

SPEAKER_04

Yep. Show enough. They even have Pelicans in New Orleans. I was wondering that too. I they'd have to, right? They wouldn't have named the team that. You would hope. That that would be the hope.

SPEAKER_06

For sure. Are there Pelicans in New Orleans?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Lakers 1x12. There are two types of pelicans found in Louisiana. The brown pelican, which can be seen year round, and the American white pelican, which is typically a winter visitor.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, it's a brown one or it's an American white one. You can't have an American brown one.

SPEAKER_01

No, and the brown ones always live there. The white ones just come and go for the winter. Exactly. After the hurricanes are.

SPEAKER_04

Fucking probably done government assistance to get them, get them birds fed. Dang. Each pelican has six kids. Wait, my five my baby's almost five. Need another baby. Somebody get me pregnant. Benefits gonna expire. Man. I don't think I don't think I have a movie this week. Never didn't get a chance to see Predators with a girl because the timing. They only had like an 11 o'clock and a three o'clock show.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And she wasn't off until three. It was like, well, well, so much for that.

SPEAKER_06

Yep.

SPEAKER_04

And I don't even know if it's playing anymore, but it was just the two showings. It was like, oh. And she saw Zootopia yesterday with her little one. So I'm not sure there's anything out there to even watch on Tuesday, actually.

SPEAKER_02

No, nothing. I don't think it's anything. I don't think anything else new came out this weekend. Yeah. All the stuff that came out this weekend was like came out early. The week before?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Like the Tuesday, Wednesday releases or the Yeah. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Nights of Freddy's is the next movie coming out next week. That's next weekend, right?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I mean, the big theater that we always go to is showing Eternity, Hamnet, Zootopia 2, Rental Family, Sizu 2, Wicked for Good, Now You See Me, Now You Don't. The Running Bag Man. Nuremberg, Predator Badlands, Regretting You, Springsteen, Tron. It's still showing Tron Ares for some reason. Tron in time. Wow. Uh Sentimental Value. Arthur Christmas.

SPEAKER_04

So there's still a handful of those that I would watch. Just I don't know if I'd want to waste my time at the theater. Like Regretting You, I want to see. Um Nuremberg, I want to see. You know, there's a handful here and there, but it's like I don't know if I want to bother the theater to see them. Uh Bogonia is another one. It's still on my list. But again, don't know how to go to the theater. If we had nothing to watch on Tuesday and they're still showing it, that might be one we pick. Because we both, even though it'll be on streaming next month, uh I think we both wanted to watch that one. So or it could be, you know, quiet. Oh, wait a minute. Never mind. She's got her little one because she's leaving for a week, she's got her little one until Wednesday morning. So never mind. We ain't seeing shit. That's fine. I see something too much. Save money for Disney anyways. Fuck it. Well, I mean, that's one side of it, but if if like like for example, there's no way she'd want to see like Nuremberg. Uh yeah. But I'd spend five bucks to go watch that. But I can't like I but I wouldn't go watch Regrading You or cut off my damn ball sack. So you went without me? So yeah, it'll probably just be a quiet week. Chill. Yeah. Press, get everything ready, make sure I especially since I'm not used to flying frontier. I'll look in well, one way, obviously at Southwest on the way back, but I'll look into their rules, make sure I have everything set, uh, make sure I have the right carry-on luggage size, all the little things that I don't want to be dinged for because I'm not used to flying them. Um and you know, just get everything in order, did the mail stop. I already did my pre pre parking, pre-paid parking for the airport lot. You know, I did all my stuff for some of that, but uh figure out what I'm gonna wear, you know. You know, I don't even know what I'm taking with me completely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Tomorrow I'll be doing laundry just to get everything washed so that I don't have to worry about it when I get back.

SPEAKER_04

Same. I'm I'm doing mine tomorrow as well, and then it'll be like, you know, figure it out. Yeah, like you know, because I have to double up because I have to wear undershirts, because I wear undershirts with my Roosevelt, so and I'm wearing two Roosevelt, I was like, uh But I'm only gonna bring like two pairs of pants, but that yeah.

Hockey Night, Clubs, And Die Hard Musical

SPEAKER_02

I'm bringing one pair of pants and two pairs of shorts, because I expect to be uh probably shorts most of the time. Because even like I think the high the low on Friday is supposed to be like 49, and I'm like, okay, that's still whatever. When I'm running around doing star tours weather. Yeah, when I'm running around doing star tours 35 times in a row while you guys are doing space or uh hyperspace mountain, I'm I'll be uh glad I'm wearing shorts.

SPEAKER_01

Uh Jack, did we figure out if we're timesharing or we're hoteling? I haven't heard nothing, so hotel still.

SPEAKER_04

Until we unless we hear something on Thursday, it's hotelin'.

SPEAKER_01

Yep.

SPEAKER_04

And then we'll have to Or buy Thursday.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, we're just doing one room? Is that what we decided on? No, it's like two rooms. You have to let us know what the cost is so we can get that.

SPEAKER_04

I thought the hotel was one room.

SPEAKER_01

No, it's two rooms. It's two bedrooms. Say two bedroom suites, kinda.

SPEAKER_04

Oh. Oh, so it's one room with one front.

SPEAKER_02

It has it has one front door. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That yeah, that's what we're getting.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. That's that's I was like, that doesn't sound right. I'm like, okay, that that description sounds right. I'm like, that's what I remember.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And we're rotating, right?

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_02

The first night girl will be with Lou. The next night I'll be with Lou, then the last night Jack will be with Lou. Is that yeah? That's that's what I thought. Okay, cool. All right. As long as we're all on the same page on that. That's the important chart.

SPEAKER_04

Like, I was like, is there any other way to do it?

SPEAKER_02

Like I mean, we could do it in one night. I mean, we could do four hour blocks or something, you know.

SPEAKER_04

Well, what we do is we put we just take one of the beds and move it to the other room and just have one big ass super clean room. Super bed. And then the other one where the bed's gone, we can butt on some cardboard and and do our breakdancing.

SPEAKER_01

No, that's where we'll fight our droids after we build them.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. Well, that the first night before we build the droids, break dancing. But then the second night when we have the droids. The second night will be droiding. Droid fight. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Makes sense.

SPEAKER_01

And we'll never be allowed at that hotel again.

SPEAKER_03

That's fine.

SPEAKER_02

Lou's like, my name's not on the fucking bill. I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_03

Right.

SPEAKER_04

It's like first of all, it's California. It's California and I'm black. I'll just pretend that I'm trans and it's all gonna fall on y'all. I'm gonna be good.

SPEAKER_01

For real.

SPEAKER_03

Corner, corner, corner, man. Corbin, corporate.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, we are you green? Super green. Any kind of green you are. Oh man.

SPEAKER_02

Oh we were gonna look since we were gonna have to kill time on Thursday.

SPEAKER_04

Like we were. Movie you can see was playing. Won't it won't it change tomorrow, isn't it, based off of switches on Mondays?

SPEAKER_02

It'll have what the Oh okay.

SPEAKER_04

I was like, don't that switch on Mondays? You still you still stoke Jack over the weekend, you were like, you read to go, son.

SPEAKER_01

I am. I mean, I got stuff to do leading up to it, but yeah, I'm ready to go.

SPEAKER_04

Um I gotta admit, me too. I uh like like like I said before, I'm I'm super looking forward to soaring. Uh other than that, and obviously the Star Wars stuff, that that just kind of goes without saying. But but other than that, it's like I'm I'm it's like whatever, chill. Uh what however the four of us linked up with our passes, and oh, it's an hour and a half wait. I'm like, don't even care, man.

SPEAKER_06

Yep.

SPEAKER_04

Like, like, right. It's like I'm with I'm with my people. Um probably at this point, the the three people that I would hang out with the most anyway. Uh so it's like, oh, we can't we have to kill an hour and a half.

SPEAKER_02

I'm like, oh darn. Darn. Guess we're gonna go ride uh the uh give them the fucking teacups for all I care. Yeah, no, I was gonna say uh the uh Alice uh the teacups. Not the teacups, the other one where you're gonna w the caterpillar one? Yeah, the caterpillar one. We'll go ride the caterpillar one twelve times.

SPEAKER_04

We'll go do not doing that stupid frog one though.

SPEAKER_01

No, no mids like I am not going to hell this time.

SPEAKER_04

No. I'm fine with all the kid stuff we did because I had never done it, so that was cool.

SPEAKER_02

That frog one, that that uh um do you think we could be in Hollywood by one o'clock? Uh no. Then then we're then we're not going to see.

SPEAKER_04

The soonest we're likely to be in Hollywood is four o'clock. No, that's not true. Three o'clock. Three o'clock's the soonest. I'm gonna guess between three and four. Assuming there's no F ups with our flight coming in and landing at you know 11. Right. 1115, whatever the hell it is. Uh uh, 11:30. Uh I which uh which I was pushing to 12, um, which and a four-hour drive to Hollywood puts us at four, which is why I said four is realistic. But then we're only gonna have uh at that point, if we get to Hollywood at four, we've got two and a half hours to kill before we want to head over to the uh to the bar. If we want to.

SPEAKER_02

Well, and and I mean I don't think I mean I think the night the only nice thing is that I don't think the Funko shop store will take as long as it did before.

SPEAKER_04

No, no, we'll we'll still have time there, but you're right. It won't be as well.

SPEAKER_02

But I mean, before we were I was looking at taking everything in because I'd never been there before. So like now we can just kind of go through the start the sections that we want to go through as opposed to going through all of them, you know.

SPEAKER_04

Uh I presume we're gonna try to park in the same spot.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah. That was a good spot.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

As long as they allow it. I mean, as long as it's an option anyway.

SPEAKER_02

Yep. Uh Al Capitan showing Zotopia 2, and that's at 1, 4, and 7.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. The 4 would have been an option, but two of the four of us have already seen it.

SPEAKER_02

Uh, kill Bill is gonna be 1 in 6 30, so that one won't really work. Uh Landmark theaters. I think we're getting further out now as far as location.

SPEAKER_04

So yeah, we'd have to watch something as soon as we got there at four, basically, if we're gonna and even then it'd have to be like an hour and a half movie with a half hour of trailers and shit.

SPEAKER_02

Yep. I'm on the fence about spending the money for the uh the good seats at the uh Star Wars uh fireworks, though.

SPEAKER_01

You don't have to, because I already got tickets for all of us. Aww. That was your surprise, but if you're looking at spending the money, you already spent it.

SPEAKER_02

So I wouldn't have spent it without talking to you guys, anyways. So I would just make it an idol. This fucking guy.

SPEAKER_01

Your Christmas guest.

SPEAKER_04

Merry Christmas to I was gonna say Merry Christmas to us, yay!

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. No, I got that a couple months ago. Damn it. I'm like, Duke wants to do it. Lou has to be forced to do it.

SPEAKER_04

I'm all like, correct, incorrect.

SPEAKER_02

Accurate. Accurate on both ways, bing bing. Oh.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, that's fucking horrible.

SPEAKER_02

Almost like this motherfucker knows us or some shit. I'm like, wouldn't mind doing it. And old girl, uh, she'll just be along for the ride. She'll be fine.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, she she she goes with it. If she was the type who would like to do it, uh uh, she'd be there with Duke. I'm probably the only one who's like, I don't give a fuck, but I'm not gonna be sad if I did it.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly. I just want to hear Lou in the back. Can't believe this fucking shoe is$85. What the fuck? God damn fuck$85.

SPEAKER_04

Oh shit. So is it assigned area or assigned seats?

SPEAKER_01

It's the assigned area. So the normal players where we just sat up there for free last time.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Only we get to be up there.

SPEAKER_02

And they move all the tables and chairs.

SPEAKER_04

So it's standing room only.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Um our resie is at 8 20. Perfect time. So we get to roll up in there. Um, we get food. Uh we should, I believe, still get a pen, an exclusive pen. Um, and then by the time we're done. Food and drink or just food? So we get food unlimited Coke, diet coke, sprite, and bottled water. Hail to the yeah, fountain.

SPEAKER_02

So it's like bottle water, bottle water, bottle water, bottle water.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Fuck and then we get fireworks, the whole time.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Especially if it's the Star Wars bottles.

SPEAKER_01

That's what I'm saying. Sprite bombs.

SPEAKER_00

What was that, Jack? What what were you saying, Jack?

SPEAKER_01

So the menu has cheeseburger croquettes, assorted cheeses and fruit, wonton citrus, ginger, chicken salad, taco, pastries, chocolate, a specialty-themed non-alcoholic beverage, unlimited Coke, diet, Coke, and Sprite. You can buy regular booze if you want. All right. And then we get to watch both the projection show and the fireworks.

SPEAKER_02

Dude, that's that's the t I mean, that's kind of the tits. Just I mean, I would like to have set be sitting down during it, but I mean, if we gotta stand up for it, then that's a sacrifice I guess we gotta make.

SPEAKER_04

I I I I don't know what I'm with you. I'm like, it's like the only negative, and and this is loosely saying the word negative, is the standing part. Uh, because we're gonna be standing, so I mean, walking around all day and day, and it'd be a good time to but uh we get to sit down to eat.

SPEAKER_01

So it's oh it's inside Dock Base 7. So it's inside that restaurant. So we'll be sitting to eat. We just have to stand for the shows we just have to donate.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, that's come that's completely different.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'm down for that. Yeah, yeah, that's totally yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're uh we're gonna have the the uh we're gonna have the breakfast. Friday next Friday. Friday next Friday. We're gonna get our just gonna have the breakfast Ronto roasters in the morning and then not eat anything all day and then just fucking gorgeous.

SPEAKER_04

Well, no, because it's not it's not a buffet, is it? It's not a buffet. No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02

You said unlimited. I heard unlimited. Oh, maybe unlimited drink drink. Oh, okay. Okay. But not all right. And then we'll try to do what was it, lunch? Is that will that be the plan? We'll do our the morning run-through wraps up.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, man. You know, uh do y'all get your last your last uh Star Wars celebration orders in for$400 shipping?

SPEAKER_02

No. No. Fuck all that. I snickered at it. I could have sent stuff to Travis. I could have sent stuff to Travis and probably been cheaper, but I'm like, there's nothing on there that I was like that's it.

SPEAKER_04

Is that his name? Travis. I was getting his I kept calling him Eric.

SPEAKER_02

I'll let him know. I don't know why. Yeah, he was also there. So yes, there was an Eric there. You were not inaccurate. Eric just doesn't live in Japan. Travis is the one who lives there.

SPEAKER_04

Travis is the one that lives there.

SPEAKER_02

Eric is here. You will see Eric.

SPEAKER_04

I was all like, I was halfway joking, part serious, and it was, you know what I mean? It was like, why don't we just shit ship everything to your boy that's already there? Then when he visits, he can bring it back. Nobody's gonna be in any kind of hurry to get their stuff. But um uh I I I'm gonna email them again tomorrow because it's been two weeks, still waiting uh from my original October email, early October email. They just keep saying, Yeah, we have it, we're giving it to this uh you know what for the second badges. Dude, second and third. I ordered three, they sent one. Unacceptable. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Ridiculous.

SPEAKER_04

So obviously, uh I'll ship that to Jack because he cares about it more than I do. And then if and if I get mine, great. If I don't, they'll just refund me, right? I'd I can't say I care that much other than the fact that they're going for 800 bucks a set.

SPEAKER_02

I was actually just gonna look that up right now while you were talking.

SPEAKER_04

The last time I checked was a week, a week or a week and a half ago, and they were going for 800 bucks a set. And I was all like, fuck that. And then I was like, wait a minute, because when Jack's like, no, he had because Jack posted on Facebook group that I had two. And I'm like, and they they forgot my third one. Like, nah, bruh, I have one, and they forgot my other two. Uh and then at that moment, Jack's like, shit. And then I thought about it, it was like, let's be real though, uh, which Macaulay, he cares about it more than I do. So when I come down, uh, I'll bring that one set that I do have, and if my other ones show up, great. If they don't, great. I I I can't honestly say that I care. Is it good art and all that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I I've collected one set of badges ever, and I believe it was the episode three one, celebration three. Is that whichever one gave us that little the case? The box. Yeah, the wooden box. Yeah, okay. That is the only set that I've ever collected, so I didn't really care that much, you know? So it was like fucking. But at the same time, they're they're kicking the can and they keep kicking the can. It's like, no, you keep saying you're gonna have it looked into. It's like you need to get me a supervisor. I'm about to care in this shit. If all you have to say is, look, we done fucked up. We got to refund you your other two sets, okay. Fine. Just do it. But don't sit there like, and that's I'm not the only one. A lot of people who order multiple only got one. They only sent one of those people. It was like, oh, you jackasses. Unacceptable.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the ones that went for$800 were complete set, no VIP, which I thought was kind of weird.

SPEAKER_04

Which is correct, because they don't send you the VIP in the set.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04

So a complete set is no VIP.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

But you have to say it because some people might be like, hey, where's the VIP one?

SPEAKER_02

I guess I didn't, I I guess I didn't pay that close of attention when I was looking at them.

SPEAKER_04

So yeah, the VIP is the only one that doesn't come with. And that's how it's been for all the other other sets, too. But yeah, like I said, it's just a bit ridiculous. It's like I'm being patient, I'm being patient. And if you need to look something up, fine. But the fact that you've got there's been no new information is what I'm saying. So what you mean is you're telling me you actually haven't dealt with this, is was what you're telling me. If you've dealt with say, hey, we're going to tell uh uh uh push it up the ladder versus you know we're gonna talk to somebody about pushing it's like hey, we've pushed this up. It's like, no, you keep telling me you're going to push it up. It's like no no no no no no no no give me a phone number, I'll wait. Right? I'll watch avatar.

SPEAKER_06

Man. I love a good phone tree. Yep.

SPEAKER_04

And then I like to start off with, I'm gonna go ahead when they do that shit, they like they're like, wait, I need to get you the supervisor. I'm like, okay, uh, as soon as I get supervisor, it's like, I'm going to I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you're aware of my situation because it would be really idiotic if they would have pushed this up to you without telling you what's going on. And then you hear the pause, and it's like, fuck. Because you know they you know that you gotta repeat yourself. That's why, uh-uh. If you're past me along, then you pass the information along as well.

SPEAKER_02

I am fine sitting on the phone for an extra 30 seconds while you catch them up on what the interaction has been so far.

SPEAKER_04

Yep, yeah. Go ahead and put me back on a hole. Go talk to the people below uh on the on the lower rungs, let them fill you in, and then get back to me.

SPEAKER_02

And and give a reason why they couldn't take care of it.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, absolutely. In the meantime, that song that was on previously, put that back on. We're good. Um uh I don't mind that classical.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, we were in a we were in a work uh real quick, we were in a work call last week, two weeks ago, or something like that. And it was all we were on Teams, and they were they were bringing somebody else in, but he was like on hold. So then like she was like, okay, let me go let him know he can join us. So then all of a sudden, like the hold music started playing through the the audio while she connected his call, and then all of a sudden he came in and I was like, damn, how do I get myself some walk-up music for a frickin' Teams call? And everybody just started cracking up, and I'm like, man, I need I need uh I need to talk to some people because this is ridiculous. You get a walk-up song and you show up 10 minutes late to the meeting, come on.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_04
