Vegas To Disney: Chaos, Karaoke, And Galaxy’s Edge

A car dying at the exit, a battery pack hanging off the hood, and a mad sprint to a bus stop—some weekends test your patience before the fun even starts. We took that chaos to Vegas, warmed up in Hollywood with karaoke at Scum & Villainy, and then turned a messy start into a dialed-in Disneyland run that felt like a masterclass in timing, hydration, and picking the right splurge.

We break down the small choices that make a big park day: light rope-drop, stacking Star Tours without burning Genie windows, and grabbing a locker so the afternoon doesn’t hurt. River Belle Terrace came through with bottomless drinks and AC when we needed it most, and saving Jungle Cruise for the right skipper paid off. The magic truly clicked at Galaxy’s Edge, where the Lore Master projection show reframes the Skywalker saga in shadows and stone—abstract, emotional, and more powerful in person than any video can capture.

Then came the premium move we weren’t sure we’d love: the Docking Bay 7 dinner-and-view package. Prime sightlines, a curated bento of shareable bites, bottomless soft drinks, and John Williams scoring fireworks over Batuu. We share what worked, what we’d tweak (get food after the projection to keep it hot), and why this experience is now a line item in the annual budget. We also built droids, hit Oga’s twice (fuzzy tauntaun for science), and learned how to pivot when rides go down and trams pass you five times.

If you’re planning a Disneyland trip—or just love hearing how friends turn hassles into stories—you’ll come away with practical tips, a few laughs, and a new appreciation for the way Batuu comes alive at night. Hit play, ride along, and tell us your best park hack. And if you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, share it with a Disney friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Cocktail wings do not fill her up.

SPEAKER_07: 1:06

Pigs in a blanket is not her uh I mean i if you eat enough of um Vienna sausage gets the job done.

SPEAKER_02: 1:17

That's true. That's true. You just gotta keep popping those cans open.

SPEAKER_07: 1:21

Yeah, it just takes a lot. That's all.

SPEAKER_00: 1:23

Make sure you drink the juice too.

SPEAKER_07: 1:32

Hi boys. Good morning, everybody.

SPEAKER_03: 1:37

It's morning somewhere. It's been uh been a couple weeks.

SPEAKER_02: 1:40

Somewhere.

SPEAKER_07: 1:41

It has been a couple of weeks. But that missed week was a good one, though.

unknown: 1:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:46

Yeah, it was. It really sucks how uh we have not figured out how to do a podcast together. Like the only way we know how to do a podcast is when we're all separated.

SPEAKER_07: 1:59

Uh no, we could have done it, but it was a worn-out. I don't know about y'all, but I was in bed. What time did I go to bed, Jack? Wasn't it like six or something? It was freaking early.

SPEAKER_00: 2:11

No. You text me, you said we laid down at 5 30, and I woke up and it was 9 a.m.

SPEAKER_07: 2:17

Oh yeah. Frickin' A. You're right. We were out. So because I had my laptop. So Jack, even if even if we if I wasn't on Jack's computer, I could have went into the living room uh of the casita and just would have been on there and Jack would have been on uh in his normal spot. It's just I wasn't awake. It was my my my my trip started on three hours of sleep and it didn't get better until until we got back. And then like like you said, man, that was basically uh uh uh uh was it 15 hours sleep?

SPEAKER_03: 2:52

Yep.

SPEAKER_07: 2:54

And it was a good one. I woke up refreshed. I mean, you go in, you open the you open the little fridge in there, you get some pokey sweat, and and then you're out.

SPEAKER_02: 3:07

And then you and then you go to the bedroom and you pokey s the sweat and uh uh I'll too tired for that. Wow. You didn't even you didn't even poke 50, sir.

SPEAKER_07: 3:18

I was gonna say, do you remember there's a five that starts my age now? Um and it was the only thing I had to get up for was the peak because I I drink a lot of the pokey sweat. I was like, as soon as I drank it, I was like, this is not gonna go well for me in the middle of the night. I was like, I'm gonna have to get up, I'm gonna be all mad that I have to get up. I don't care. I'm thirsty, just tasty. Right. Um yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 3:43

Ooh, we're gonna be. But yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 3:48

How about you? When you got back, did you go to did you go to sleep like you said you were going to?

SPEAKER_03: 3:52

No. No. Uh I had started partying again. Uh no. What did I do when I got home?

SPEAKER_02: 4:04

I got home at like 10 and then football started. So I think I dozed on the couch for a little bit watching football in the morning. Um why do I feel like it was later? Because I was listening to the Viking game on the way home. So I think by the time I got all of my stuff together and then got in the car, it was like 10.30. Because I always get lost trying to find my car, because I always park in like the garage that doesn't have a label. So when you're leaving the turret, like so at Portland, you have to go out to like the short-term and long-term parking. They have like this long um uh tunnel that goes under the place where people are picked up and dropped off, and then it kicks you out into the parking lot. Um and where I had parked the long-term parking I had parked, there wasn't a label on the signage going out to say, hey, if you're if you if you have this icon go to this place. It was for all the rest of them, but for whatever reason, mine didn't. So I was just like, Well, I remember the sign being orange, so I went to the orange area and then I had to wander around a little bit. And uh finally found the car and got back home at like it was probably 11 or 11 30. So I finished watching the Viking game. And then um what was going on? Something came up. I don't know. We were playing video games or something, and then I think I stayed up because I was like, oh, I don't have to worry about staying up for the pod, you know? Like I could go to bed when I got tired as opposed to like I'm gonna take a nap so I can be up at 8 30. Right. So uh and then yeah, I think I was in bed at like nine. I think I went to bed at like nine, nine thirty, and then knocked out until work on Monday.

SPEAKER_03: 5:54

So yeah, I just forced myself to stay. Yeah. That's when I went to bed.

SPEAKER_02: 6:02

I think that's when I woke up.

SPEAKER_07: 6:06

Well so so if the the garage isn't labeled, it's the only one, then isn't it just easy to find 'cause it's the one that's not labeled.

SPEAKER_02: 6:13

Well, so there's multiple elevators in each one. And mine had an icon of an umbrella. It was orange with an umbrella. The only icons I could find were orange with a beaver, and I was like, well, that sucks. So I finally just ended up taking the orange. I just ended up riding the orange beaver, and then I got out and used my app to used my app to try to figure out where my car was. I ended up like having to wander around a bit, but I eventually found it. So then you uh warmed up walking at Disneyland. No, it didn't hurt as much. I was my back was sweaty. I was like, I feel gross, I'm grumpy, I just want to fucking go home.

SPEAKER_07: 6:51

Bro, it's funny you say that because walking around with the whole bus situation and trying to get my car taken care of the next day, I did not feel it at all. I was like, oh, I guess I'm used to this now the last few days.

SPEAKER_00: 7:02

He was like, I'm the picture of health up in this bitch.

SPEAKER_05: 7:05

Oh dead. For real.

SPEAKER_02: 7:08

I think I was just ready to find my car. If I would have found my car immediately, I think I would have been fine, but I was just frustrated trying to like life. But the reason why we're all talking about that is the last few weeks. We weren't on the pod last week because all of us were getting home from uh hanging out all weekend. Yeah, yeah. So uh yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 7:28

Didn't Holly Weird.

SPEAKER_07: 7:33

Although although Hollyweird wasn't as weird this time.

SPEAKER_00: 7:37

It was not, it was very normal, actually.

SPEAKER_07: 7:39

Yeah, maybe a Thursday is different than a Friday, obviously. People going out on a Friday, and because th a Thursday night, it was like there are mostly normal folks out here.

SPEAKER_00: 7:49

Oh, we did see that naked dude running down the street when we went to Ghardelli, though.

SPEAKER_07: 7:53

That is true. But but he was running on purpose. Yeah, so you know, so sometimes you don't want jogger nipple.

SPEAKER_00: 7:59

That's true. Jogger nipples are no fun.

SPEAKER_07: 8:03

Yeah, exactly. So I mean that person could be.

SPEAKER_01: 8:10

This guy. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?

SPEAKER_00: 8:14

So many things. So many things.

SPEAKER_07: 8:21

But yeah, it was it was really weird. Also, that was a longer walk than I remembered. Shit. Burr.

SPEAKER_00: 8:27

For real. I was drunk last time and I seemed like we got there faster.

SPEAKER_07: 8:32

Uh-huh. Well, there you go. Lesson learned for next year. Yeah, next year we go park somewhere on the side street first and then drive to our parking spot. Get that errand done. Just get that errand knocked out. Oh man. Um but yeah, I mean, overall, I I I had a great time. Kudos to uh Duke hooking up the car situation. Kudos to Jack for hooking up the uh the Star Wars light show um situation. That was pretty badass.

SPEAKER_02: 9:08

And the no-tell motel.

SPEAKER_07: 9:10

Um oh for sure. That hotel for for again for for 200 bucks a person for three nights for what we got, uh and we didn't even fully take advantage of the breakfast that they had, and it was a decent breakfast too. Uh I I would absolutely stay there again if if it came down to it. Like if the timeshare is not a hookup, then great. Just go back to that place.

SPEAKER_00: 9:34

Yeah, yeah. No, like I said, we've been staying there for a long time. So and you know my wife, if it wasn't good, she wouldn't go back. So that is true.

SPEAKER_07: 9:43

One and done. There is no second chance.

SPEAKER_02: 9:46

You are the only exception to that rule, sir. Got him. Got him. Uh well, I uh do we want to just kind of run through our weekend and like blab bla brag to every humble brag about all the stuff we got to do, or um I mean we can't really tell all the stories because old girls are in here.

SPEAKER_07: 10:14

Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, dude. Uh run it up. You start with we start with you because you got there to Vegas first.

SPEAKER_01: 10:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_02: 10:22

So uh last not three days to go, but a week and three days ago, uh Wednesday afternoon, flew into Vegas, uh met up with uh with Jack at home. We kicked it for a bit, and then uh woke up in the morning, made sure Lou's situation because Lou was flying into Vegas with old girl. Um that was an adventure that we'll get to.

SPEAKER_00: 10:49

Yeah, that was always an adventure.

SPEAKER_02: 10:52

We'll let I'll let you so uh so then noonish, we picked you guys up from the airport.

SPEAKER_07: 10:58

11.

SPEAKER_02: 10:58

Oh, yeah. 11-ish? Okay, so um, so yeah, so our morning, Jack and Mine's morning, was very uneventful. Yeah, it was nice and normal. Yeah, if uh Lou, if you want to chime in here and speak about how your Thursday morning went.

SPEAKER_07: 11:12

But yeah, I'll we'll we'll we'll keep we'll keep the time order as best as possible. But I'm curious, uh, because I didn't really get the story of you guys this morning. Do you guys not really do anything? Like no breakfast, no, were you up? Well, I knew obviously we're going to Del Taco, or in in uh Duke's case, Tommy burger, I think.

SPEAKER_04: 11:29

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_07: 11:29

Uh, but it was just y'all just got up, got ready, and left. You guys didn't have time. I was up. The reason why I bring it up is because we got donuts like like Monday morning. That's why I was asking.

SPEAKER_00: 11:39

Yeah, no, I got up for school to take the girls. Um But no, I just figured Duke sleeps. Duke Duke likes to sleep a lot, so fair. Fair.

SPEAKER_02: 11:48

Oh, okay. All right. I'm already 50. Well, we stopped at the I mean we did stop at a gas station and grab snacks. So we didn't do a proper meal. There was no problem in that.

SPEAKER_07: 11:58

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, obviously you got and the drinks too, because that one was away. Um especially the energy drinks. Hell yeah. Um and flavorful energy drinks. Yeah, orange cream. That was something. And frickin' great frickin' Welches? Are you kidding me? Man, I'm gonna have to see if Sam Clubs has that on the on the list. Uh I'm not a I'm not a huge energy drinker, but man, I I I don't care. I'll drink it because it tastes good.

SPEAKER_02: 12:30

Um see if Santa Sam can take care of you this year. Right.

SPEAKER_07: 12:35

So so our our morning, our morning was was pretty okay. It started off okay, you know. Got up early, uh uh real early. Our flight was um 10. 10 in the morning to uh to land at like, I don't know, 10 45, 11 o'clock Vegas time. But but uh we I I we planned to get up a little bit earlier because we were gonna stop by and swap out luggage that old girl had. So we because we're we're gonna check go ahead and check a bag, uh thinking about stuff to come back and everything. And and Frontier had upped us to a free bag check anyway. Uh two free bag checks. So it was like, all right, cool. So we'll get up early, go swap out bags. We can take the bigger one. Let's miss, let's take the bigger one. Um then we're I think we're gonna we were gonna stop maybe for some food, uh like McDonald's or something, um, or uh Walmart to pick up some toiletries that that we didn't have. And it was like, all right, cool. So we had a little bit of time. So uh we get everything going. We're we're we're leaving, we're about an hour ahead of schedule, you know, just like the way we want it to be. So we're good. We get to we get to her place to pick up the suitcase, swap that out. But on the process, a battery light comes on, and it's like, all right, it's it's come on before, it's been fine, no, no, no big deal. Um so we keep going, and then it's like, oh shit, this car is about to die. Uh you could tell this like like the radio turns off and sputtering, the ABS light comes on. It's not just the battery light, other lights start coming on, which is a signal. So I pull over, and it's like, all right, we're we're yeah, exactly. So I pull over, and at this point, we're still like 40-ish minutes, 30 minutes from the airport, and uh uh maybe, uh maybe longer, 45 minutes to the airport. I I don't know. Uh and then about 35 minutes or so to get back home. So it's like, all right, if we don't want to risk this, we we we just go back home, get your car, skip all of our errands, and we had that extra hour to backtrack, go get her car, and then keep on going. No big deal, it would have timed out fine. So it's like, all right, cool, we got this. So I have the little jumpers, uh uh the little battery pack jumpers in my car. It starts up, it's kind of it's kind of good to go, and head start heading back home. On the way home, it was like, oh, this might be struggling a little bit. I don't know if we can make it back home. F it. I have an idea. There's a park and ride to take the bus, public transit. It's not too far away at this point, it's like five miles. Uh, but obviously we're going through traffic, and I'm about to fucking run lights if I have to. Didn't have to, it was okay. Until we got to our exit. We get all the way to the park and ride, it's across I can see it. It's across the street. Pull up to the exit, and when we get to the stop, car dies. Try to jump it again, and it holds for a few seconds. It's like fuck. And and it's like, we're we're so close. We're so close. We still have time, but we need to leave now. One of those type of things to get on the bus now. Um so, so I'm out of the car, I'm on the exit, I connect the battery, the little chargeable battery, and leave it connected and close to and leave it connected. And it was enough to get us to the light that I have to turn left to. Um, it got us there. But I was like, I I I can't risk, I can't risk the car dying right here. We're across we're literally across the street at this point. It's I it's right there. We're probably you know 80, 80 feet away. So I'm looking up, I'm looking up, and I'm watching the light of cross traffic. As soon as that light turns yellow and it's clear, all the cars cleared. I knew that we had the second green light, like like the cross traffic comes first. And then us, I was like, no, I can't do this. I run it, almost get hit by a car coming, not paying attention. I was like, I got you know, flashers on as best as I can, honking my horn, like, hey, I gotta make this cross. And he still almost hits me. So I swerve over, jump the curb, uh, get in the lane, it's fine. That that dude driver's pissed off for obvious reasons. Uh, I turn into a parking spot, and the car dies as soon as I get to the parking spot. So uh I have a girl, the bus is a bus is there. No idea if this is even the right bus beneath the tape. So I was like, go find out if that's the right bus. I'll take care of this, but take care of this. I mean, like unclip everything, lock up the car, grab, grab stuff, blah, blah, blah. Turns out that was the right bus. The guy said, from from Boulder, there is an airport bus. You just jump on that and go straight to the airport. This one, we had to take this bus to Union Station, downtown Hub, Major Hub in Denver, and then from there jump on the uh light rail uh train from there to the airport. And I was like, okay, look at the time, look at the schedules. I pull up everything as best as I can. It's like, it looks like we're gonna be okay. So we get there, sketch as hell. Man, don't go to a like major city bus transit or so. Scary. We go the wrong way. We have no idea where we're going because we never we've never done this. The the driver tells us uh uh one way to go. We go the bus driver, it's like we go the wrong way. Um so we have to turn around. A little bit won't know.

SPEAKER_02: 18:02

He doesn't know.

SPEAKER_07: 18:03

Uh we we we missed the first train by God, 30 seconds. Um, but they're a little bit behind or whatever, so we go and say, hey, we have time, but the schedule says the bus is not here till or the train's not here for 15 minutes. So I send her off to go get her coffee because she still hasn't had coffee yet because we thought we'd get it at McDonald's, right? So uh that doesn't happen. After about 30 seconds, she leaves. Another train pulls up. I'm like, holy shit. So so I call her and it's like, hey, come back, train's here. And I could tell when it sounded watch. Oh, she's mad. She's like, You said I had time, you know. But they're like, you know how people are when they don't have their coffee, right?

SPEAKER_00: 18:39

Man, this isn't Japan. This shit doesn't runs when it runs.

SPEAKER_07: 18:42

Right. This exactly. I I missed that. But so we jump on we jump on that train, we get where we need to get to, uh, we get through security, uh, thanks to my old uh ass with my medical issues, uh mainly like I I'm I'm considered uh a disabled person with the uh diabetes. So I go through that security line to get through faster. Uh we go through, I I'll I'll skip all the BS with the gate, but we got there and then they started boarding like five minutes after we got there. So it was one of these things where I thought that I had done screw with my vehicle, that we're not gonna make it at all. Well, not when say at all. We would have taken a later flight if we had to, but um, but it was drama to get there. We got there, and then they were in a different terminal than I'm used to. So I'm not, I'm like, I have no idea where I am, I have to figure this crap out, I have to give Jack a call. Usually we're we're texters, we don't call. Uh so Jack's probably like, oh, something's fucking called. Oh shit. Yep, yep. And I was like, bruh, I'm used to pillar one through twelve. I'm here with pillars 24 and whatever. I'm like, what the hell, man? And he's like, what terminal are you at? I look up and I'm like, uh Terminal three or whatever it was. And he's like, Oh, you're you're in that international terminal, which is why it looked familiar. Because when I was I I even told old girl, I'm like, this looks like the terminal we were at in Japan for Japan. And it was. So long story longer, uh, we end up finding a spot, told them where we were. Uh they must have got lost because it took an extra 15 minutes to get over there. Uh you can tell that story because I was all like, You said you said five minutes. I'm like, what's taking so long? You said five minutes. But then I'm mad, I mean, not a tham. I'm at a I'm at an idiot car drivers because there's signs that say don't park here. And a bunch of them were just there waiting and blocking traffic. And I think you guys were behind some idiot who kept zipping in and blocking you guys when you guys were off to pick us up. And then yeah, we made it. It was uh it was a long morning to get there. Uh somewhere in between there, I think picking up our luggage. Uh I sent a little girl to get her some coffee. Uh, yes, I was waiting for the luggage. She picked up coffee. Um and yeah, and then we all got in the car and started our trek. Yep.

SPEAKER_00: 21:04

Long car ride. Good conversation.

SPEAKER_07: 21:08

You know though? It went faster than I thought it was going to. The car ride. I was like, I thought this was a longer drive.

SPEAKER_02: 21:14

And it uh granted Barstow helps break it up, but Yeah yeah yeah well also Thursday I mean Thursday afternoon or Thursday early afternoon I think is probably the best time to get out of Dodge.

SPEAKER_00: 21:25

Oh yeah there's not going to be traffic.

SPEAKER_02: 21:27

So until we hit LA Oh my god 20 miles sir yep you wanna you want to talk you want to talk about the drive it wasn't bad.

SPEAKER_00: 21:41

I mean like I said we talked the whole damn way my wife had bets that I'd be sleeping I'm like you're not wrong that is my favorite time to sleep.

SPEAKER_07: 21:51

Bruh I had bets that you'd be sleeping because I know that was when you when you when you drive with the fam that's usually your jam it's like oh he's well it was just it was so funny that you say that because part way through the drive when your head was down I looked over at old girl and I was doing the miming thing and I'm all like it's like like is he on his phone or is he asleep? And she's like phone I'm like okay okay I was like my money was on he was passed out because it's the only time nobody can ask me to do anything. Yep exactly I'm like he's got bros got some peace he's gonna use it right now sadly we were like no we need your attention uh Papa Jack attention to us Papa Jack don't let's talk about Papa Jack none of that needs to be repeated so we yeah we went we stopped in Barstow for lunch and those toiletries that I was talking about at the Walmart out here. Went to Walmart we ended up picking up at at uh and Barstow along with a box of snacks that that box never got open the whole trip until we got back. That box got open when we got back a good idea. Yeah it was just in case it was adjust but I ain't gonna lie I forgot about them. I would have threw some in my backpack if I had remembered but but I absolutely forgot about them. I would have threw those circus animals in there. Those frosted circus animals.

SPEAKER_02: 23:19

You forget snacks then you gotta get around to wrap darn oh darn so uh we did we did make a stop at the Ontario airport a little preview of Sunday in order to get Lou added on as a as a driver just so we had two drivers for the car just in case you know we're off or I get tired stuff happens or whatever.

SPEAKER_07: 23:40

I forgot we did that yeah um not even lying I was like I was like well we did it's like oh yeah we did that was where we saw the uh the rental car place had the vending machine that had condoms in it yep short it I remember seeing that where was that where was that I think you went to the bathroom oh okay okay but wow that's wild hold on hold on we gotta back up and tell the cause because the story was new to me so it might be new to other people what is so we go we go to bar when we're in Barstow we pick up our stuff from Walmart we go to Del Taco for us uh but except for Duke Duke wanted something called Tommy burgers so what was the fascination with Tommy burgers let me find the sticker oh uh oh we're oh you found it we left it on we left it on the hotel desk I did find it hang on I just gotta find my I did a bunch of show them that's that's a nice hand a carpet carpet matches with your oh god this guy glad I put shorts on to you tonight you use your toes and grab it right yeah oh my god there it is all right no stay stacked oh I'm gonna crush a watermelon between my thighs later it's backwards but no not an R screen all right good yeah on our screen to look like so there's there's I think uh I think I figured out there's five things I miss about living in in Southern California and Tommy's burger is one of the is one of those five things because it's uh it's an institution I mean the chili fries were pretty damn good so yeah so they have amazing I mean they weren't they weren't good for our nose afterwards but whatever no guys we gotta leave the store we have to leave the store right now why trust me we just gotta go trust me just leave walk out right now to be fair though on the scale of smells over the weekend I did get beat I was beat out like I did have the I had the title uh I had the title I disagree for a few hours and I did I disagree uh uh as somebody as somebody who was uh in the line of fire of both uh no no you did not have the second first you just know who's gonna be listening to this so you're just trying to save your own skin no no as somebody who proudly likes to have that title um yeah no I'm disappointed that I didn't have that title stupid gallbladder doesn't make me a stinky right whatever I just like the first I just like the first type even I was like is that a sewer truck in front of us what the hell and then everyone that was so funny because it was like it's like wow okay there they can totally reverse that I was like uh multi sewer truck and then it was like nope wait no no no those do oh man we're rolling the windows down which makes no sense you roll your own down so it all goes out your direction why you're rolling ours down that makes no sense we can stick our head out and get fresh air no like a dog no you just put yours down let all of it go that that way okay so yeah so we hit up Tommy burgers so so Duke could check that place out been a minute um but yeah uh I I'll admit I I wouldn't I'd be it's hard for me to say no to delta but I think I could do both like I could get maybe some chili fries here and then some bun taco or something. You know what I mean? Something like that. I could absolutely do both in that scenario.

SPEAKER_02: 27:47

And I love myself in Del Taco but or can you just get it worked out here.

SPEAKER_07: 27:51

Because it's just oh okay if you got one in Vegas then that'll settle that yeah but but yeah Barcel Del Taco just hits different because that's where the original uh the originals are folks that's why we talk about Del Taco like for the for last year and this year.

SPEAKER_02: 28:08

Oh yeah it's the spot and then yeah so from there then we went to the airport right okay because that was the only dollar that was the only rental car place that was open because all the rest by the time we got through Barstow all the others were going to be closed like all the neighborhood ones.

SPEAKER_07: 28:26

There wouldn't have been an opportunity to put me on the car.

SPEAKER_02: 28:28

Yeah um and we wanted to maximize our Disneyland time which in hindsight we probably could have done on Saturday morning or Friday morning but we didn't know not really not when you guys are dropping because you guys got breakfast Rontos right oh yeah hell yeah yeah yeah so um so yeah and then we uh work our way to Hollywood from there.

SPEAKER_07: 28:50

Oh my god but that that preface you guys got we it took us almost two just like it was like three minutes under two hours to go 24.1 miles it was ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02: 29:01

Yep it was ridiculous I want no part of that nobody knows how to merge nope people be making extra lanes not one cop we didn't see one one cop we saw a motherfucking truck flipped over on the side of the road and there were nobody was taking pictures for their insta they certainly were they were posing in front of that shit it was like wow these kids these days so I'll get a picture of me with the upside down truck it probably wasn't even his no he was probably like oh we should help this person wait hold on yeah I don't even know how you were going fast enough in that traffic to fucking roll your car like I don't know it was weird yeah yeah but but yeah took a really long time to get to Hollywood um I don't know how we would have improved that though I don't I don't see a way to be more efficient on that like it honestly the only way to do it not stop because the stopping would have put us to the point where we got into rush hours.

SPEAKER_07: 30:09

So if we don't stop at Del Taco don't stop at Tommy's don't stop at the airport don't stop at Walmart we don't do any of those stops then we don't hit that rush hour traffic that we hit at you know 3 30 or whatever it was by the time we got to it we would have hit it at you know two. Yeah but we still got there early enough oh yeah right before it worked out it worked out I mean we we had time to kill anyway because the karaoke bar we were going to scum and villainy uh shout out to y'all shout out um they didn't open till six I think and karaoke didn't or five and karaoke didn't start till eight so we were gonna look for like a happy hour spot anyway to go kill sometime before we worked away over there about 6 30 6 37 and we got there about what about seven anyway whatever time it was by the time we parked and we saw the Percy Jackson thing.

SPEAKER_02: 31:02

Yep yep we got there all the booths were taken uh but that only lasted for like damn not even our first order round of drinks really nope um that lasted a few minutes and then yeah we got our booth and karaoke it drank so I did find out midway through the night the reason for that is because uh a few blocks down the street there was a theater that they were doing a improv D uh session. Folks dressed up and all but it was like a stage play where everything was improv so they would have the people in the audience pick what they did during the uh the D session. So they said that started at like 7 30 so that's why everybody fucking evaporated at 7 30 and we were able to get a booth because they all headed down the street. Because I was asking them like I was like why did this place it it emptied out at like 715 and so after you guys had left to go to to uh Ghirardelli's I was like hey like where did everyone go and he said oh yeah this thing's going on they'll all be back at 10 so we don't really they come here afterwards to to you know uh relive their their time uh at the D thing so we don't you know it's a it's a symbiotic relationship so um I thought that was kind of cool I was like all right cool like it's good that you guys are like working with other groups to like you know make sure that everybody stays in business right because that's the key right especially these days um I don't know how like the bars and breweries and stuff like that are out in your guys' next to the woods but here it's been it's been rough like we've had a lot of places that have have a history here in Portland that have closed because of lack of you know lack of business or just you know bad bad financial decisions or whatever like well well same here man one of the main ones that we go to out here or used to go to out here I think their last day is Saturday um and they're closing down too so I mean it's it's I mean not as probably bad as it is out there out here breweries are like Colorado's life so people go there all the time but for whatever reason some like especially Boulder though boulder's so overpriced that people just can't afford the rent they would these stupid ass owners would rather have a vacant building than a renting uh uh you know somebody paying rent at a lower rate uh which makes no sense to me but there's that happens all the time out here in Boulder it's like you like you like you get them go cheap once yep don't don't get used to it they'll be gone I actually read a thing in our article on Reddit or whatever where they I because I was wondering about that myself because they were like oh it's been you know this building's been vacant for two years how come type of thing and they said one of the reasons is because especially the larger office buildings are actually owned by like multiple people and in order for the landlord to adjust the rent he has to get the sign off from every single person that owns a piece of the building and so they say that process takes so long that a lot of landlords just would rather keep would rather keep the office space empty because if they get pushback from any of the owners they can't make the change. So it I it has to be you know 80% or 100% of the owners have to agree to a rent adjustment and if any of them say no then they can't do it.

SPEAKER_07: 34:30

So a lot of the landlords don't bother doing it because they know that they don't that they that they won't get the sign offs that they need in order to bad business ownership I'll say that's not saying it's bad business or not but I was just I found that interesting you have a person you could have you could have 65 owners if you want but there's still one person in charge of those type of decisions to a you you have some kind of leeway uh and threshold that you could reach now if you're saying it's gonna go lower than that threshold okay then fine but other than that I'm like that's not how it's done out here because I used to be in that industry with the businesses the rental uh office space stuff like that.

SPEAKER_02: 35:10

That might also be a state by state thing too just how things like that are structured.

SPEAKER_07: 35:14

No it's an it's an ownership thing. Because the owners can choose to do that if they want to they just don't if you're having that situation where you are that's because that's how they chose to do it. Yeah again that's just bad partners. I mean you get you get one person it's it's like you like again it happens out here all the time I'd rather have a vacant place and then because they just don't want to they don't want to set the market is what it is. You have a price per square foot and they don't want to drop it and then have everybody pissed off at you because you've set the market and now they have to lower their prices.

SPEAKER_00: 35:43

They would rather just offstay on the table for the community.

SPEAKER_07: 35:48

So yeah there it's fucked up but that's how it goes. And we got and we've also when I was out here in 09 the first time I dealt with that because like I said I managed uh HOAs but also had apartments single family and commercial shopping centers out here and the and the two commercial shopping centers that's how it was run. It was like do you want to give TIs tenant improvements? Because some hey I got a five year lease we will give you$25,000 to build out your space and you sign a five year lease so we get that we'll get that money back in the rent over the five years you know one of those type of things and not a lot of TIs are being done either anymore. It's like now you're on your own. We'll give you cheap rent but you can build out yourself. And a lot of businesses don't have that they depend on the TIs because they're obviously fledgling build uh businesses are starting off you know so uh whatever bad business might have to look at it.

SPEAKER_02: 36:39

Yeah. So but thankfully scum and villainy is there. So you know that's some rock again shout out to them. Well the price they charge for drinks they better be rocking about alcohol that wasn't a problem until someone started doing shots hey somebody else bought those shots for us true I was gonna say I was like we didn't we we didn't even pay for one shot birthday shots um yeah so it was old girl's birthday so people started finding out throughout the evening that it was her birthday so uh things got a little out of the pocket for a little bit which was fine it was fine we managed it nothing we also sang yeah we did sing we did sing Jack freaking had the yeah brought the house down it was quiet it was quiet it was quiet jack was our first singer and he sang uh CeeLo I think yep fuck you uh the whole crowd the whole frickin' it's not a huge bar let me be very clear yeah but it's big enough and everybody in there was singing this stuff so it was good it was and I wasn't super drunk then either so I did alright yeah not like the other song no no which was fine I mean the problem is the third the problem is until you get a familiarity with how they do the duets and stuff like that because I've been places where Haguna Matami Oh yeah the one with the one with the girl that's the one where you struggle oh yeah yeah the ones with the three of us was great well that was the that was the K-pop demon hunter song Demon Hunter she made him put it on because he just Jack originally picked it and then he took it off and then she went over and was like it's my birthday let me fucking have this and then it was uh wait is this the song it was not it was not his first song let's say it was not as good as his first song let me just we'll be nice we just say that but in between there the three of us did uh Hakuna Matata from Lion King uh original multi picture soundtrack uh and and we fucking rocked it people coming up to Duke afterwards talking about how good it was well and I think the fact that we all were wearing the same shirts like a lot of people like we we were very recognizable in the crowd like we were those people be we had a lot of people being like what's up with the shirts those shirts are awesome blah blah blah so shout out to Roosevelt's because we got to sell we we were uh in um improv salesmen through most of the evening uh for chilling their shirts but those shirts did rock we had the Star Wars uh Sith floral from oh I guess I could just from July's Sandy Ocomicon exclusive we have that rocking the four of us did all four of us had that shirt and uh we did look good simple as that yep even when Lou and I walked to Ghirardelli they're like oh those guys are wearing the same shirts we're like are we good a lot of a lot of dumbass comments during the walk of because like four people said that you guys are wearing the same shirt like oh we didn't know oh really like how'd that happen we're in town for a commission I'm wearing a black shirt with red he's wearing a red shirt with black very different yeah my lightsabers are over here see he has a Darth Maul here I got count duku over here totally not the same totally totally uh it was a good time and then uh you know we had some stuff happen yeah we had a little bit of a hick and went all the way but we got but we made it yeah uh I mean we we did almost abandon somebody at the Denny's parking lot but you know whatever it's fine it's fine uh yeah we had some stuff happen between the the the cantina and the hotel but we resolved it we all we all banded together um somebody was asking about pancakes you know you know somebody was drunk when you had to hold on to their pants their their belt on the way into this the the Denny's or else they were going to be eating shit through all the doors and then as we walk in where are we?

SPEAKER_07: 40:52

We're at Denny's they got pancakes here yep good I want some pancakes okay Denny's does have a order

SPEAKER_02: 41:00

After we go to the bathroom. Come out. You still want those pancakes? I never said I wanted pancakes.

SPEAKER_00: 41:07

I was in the bathtub for a minute. I forgot.

SPEAKER_07: 41:13

You're getting old. Memories first to go, sir.

SPEAKER_02: 41:15

Yep. Um, yeah. So we eventually made it to the hotel really late.

SPEAKER_07: 41:22

Like one in the morning at this point.

SPEAKER_02: 41:23

It had been a long night. It was a longer night for some of us. Um we got all checked in. Uh Jack and I were able to go to sleep pretty quick after we got settled. Uh Lou and old girl, not so much, but it's fine. It's fine. Um, yeah. Uh so uh so Friday morning.

SPEAKER_07: 41:47

I got no comment, so I'm not and I'm not going to.

SPEAKER_00: 41:52

There will be no Friday morning of Thursday night.

SPEAKER_02: 41:58

I just ran out of magnet over the tape that happened. Uh whatever happened on Thursday night.

SPEAKER_07: 42:03

Um it was fun though. I don't care. It was fun. This is like a story that'll be with us forever.

SPEAKER_02: 42:08

Yes. Yes. Um we got a Friday morning.

SPEAKER_00: 42:13

I woke up, I was able to take a shower. I came out of the shower and loose one. Which was surprising shorts. I was like, oh, all right. Happy birthday to me, I guess.

SPEAKER_02: 42:23

I was still asleep, so of course Jack walks out naked. So I mean, you know, whatever. Happy birthday. Breakfast on day, Mr. President.

SPEAKER_00: 42:38

All right, so Lou's on the bed. And um, he's like, Yeah, we're not gonna go with you guys on this morning. Yeah, it will be drink too much.

SPEAKER_07: 42:48

We will get there when we get there. But we will make it what he was talking about.

SPEAKER_00: 42:52

He's like, we'll be there by the time that the fucking Star Wars dinner is at 8 p.m. I'm like, all right, I I guess. I guess I didn't pay for your Disney ticket, but alright.

SPEAKER_07: 43:07

Uh turns out it was better, and we were trying to get there by like 2 15, whatever. Uh take taking the bus is straight shot. It was like just here's your bus right outside the hotel, just go straight down. But they were running, God, 20-30 minutes late or something like that.

SPEAKER_02: 43:22

It was they got the same timetable that the the trains in Colorado had.

SPEAKER_07: 43:29

Oh, for real. Oh my gosh. Lou, where are you? We we got we got to the bus stop at 130, and I think it was supposed to be a 141 or 139 bus. Yeah, we didn't get on that bus until like 220. It was ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02: 43:44

Lou, where are you at? I'm still here. Where's here? I'm at the bus stop. Okay. We're walking over there. We're gonna go walk over there now.

SPEAKER_00: 43:52

We're gonna go right on this ride.

SPEAKER_07: 43:55

I was like, y'all do your thing, I'll let you know. It was like it duke's all like, we can you can take an Uber or a Lyft, and it's like it'll get you here, it'll be here like at 215. I'm like, I'm not paying$20 for a lift plus tip when I can take$1.75 bus times two,$3.50. And it turns out it was even free. They didn't even charge my body.

SPEAKER_02: 44:14

Happy Annika, by the way, Lou. Yeah, happy Anica, Lou.

SPEAKER_07: 44:18

Thank you. Uh Shalom, appreciate that.

SPEAKER_00: 44:24

Um, yeah, so Duke and I went first thing in the morning. Not quite rope drop, but we were there early enough. Um we did get our breakfast Ronto wraps, which were delicious. We went on rise. Um we just like fucked off. We're like, well, we don't want to use our fast passes because Lou's gonna be here. So we just found whatever was short and sweet, and we just bounced around and did whatever ride was short. We were able to get through quite a few of them.

SPEAKER_03: 44:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 44:56

The only one we didn't do was jungle cruise because we wanted to wait for Lou for that one. Yeah. Because we know Lou loves himself some jumper cruise. Yep.

SPEAKER_06: 45:02

He does.

SPEAKER_00: 45:03

Oh, two H.

SPEAKER_06: 45:05

Oh, two H H. Backside of water.

SPEAKER_02: 45:08

Um Indiana Jones is in this temple. Uh he's uh searching for treasure. Don't know why he's searching for a treasure. I don't know why he's searching in that temple when the treasure's right here. Help me.

SPEAKER_07: 45:23

Yeah, we had we had a good uh cruise director uh for that one. That was fun.

SPEAKER_01: 45:29

But we did Jack and I were able to get through Rise, uh StarTour's uh Haunted Mansion, Pirates Mansion, Star Tours, we did Star Tours for sure.

SPEAKER_00: 45:42

And I think that was about it.

SPEAKER_02: 45:43

That took us up until about noon.

SPEAKER_00: 45:46

I mean let's do that.

SPEAKER_02: 45:46

But I mean those that's that's all the for Disneyland, as far as we're concerned, that's all the bangers. So Indiana Jones was closed. So we we didn't all the time. It was only open like twice both days we were there, and it was only open for like an hour. So um every time that we looked at it that it happened to be open, it had already had like an 80-minute wait, and then we looked like an hour later and it was like temporarily closed, and we're like, oh glad we did not waste time on that.

SPEAKER_07: 46:13

So what's what'd you guys do from the end of your last ride up until your fancy lunch?

SPEAKER_00: 46:21

Wandered. I mean, the lunch wasn't shit. I don't know, when did we eat lunch? About two noon-ish, one-ish.

SPEAKER_07: 46:28

No, lunch was two, because remember because our bus was so late, you were gonna wait, but the bus was so late. And I was like, Y'all, y'all just eat, we'll get something when we get there.

SPEAKER_02: 46:39

Well, it might have been one then. I mean, it's I mean, the thing with Disney is like there it's a real time dilation. Like you'd be sitting there and all of a sudden, like, the sun's going down, and you're like, motherfucker, we just got here. Like, what's going on? So it's it's entirely possible by the time we did because we did all the gift shops through as well. So we would get off the ride and go water through the gift shop about that, and then figure out kind of what our next plan was.

SPEAKER_07: 47:02

Because you had got a locker as well.

SPEAKER_02: 47:04

Yeah, we did get a locker in the morning, which saved me. I was happy to have I was happy that I paid for it and took care of it. But you know, it was there in case we needed it, and I think that was a good I think that's a good kind of I think what we learned from this trip was more things that improve our could potentially improve our experiences and things that maybe we're willing to spend a little money on, you know. Um less alcohol. Yeah. So 130 or so, one thirty Jack and I ended up. For me, I want to enjoy it better.

SPEAKER_07: 47:34

Oh, well, in that case, it's not it's not less alcohol, it's pacing of the alcohol. Yeah. Because you kept stealing everybody's drinks.

SPEAKER_03: 47:41

That's true. That's true. You do do that.

SPEAKER_07: 47:44

There were a couple of times. It was funny because when we got back, I was talking to a little girl, and she's like, I I know I was I I didn't do good with the shots, but I was pacing myself with other drinks, and then every once in a while, my drink would be gone or half it would be missing. I'm like, uh, that would be Jack.

SPEAKER_03: 47:59

Yep.

SPEAKER_07: 48:01

And then the other time, Duke gave your drink away because he thought you were done with it.

SPEAKER_03: 48:08

Yep. And she still got tore up. Yep.

SPEAKER_07: 48:11

She's always been lightweight. I mean, she's lightweight since I met her. She smelled alcohol and she already tipped me.

SPEAKER_02: 48:19

I wish I would have I wish alcohol was all I would have smelled that night, or the next day, or the day after.

SPEAKER_07: 48:26

That's weird, man.

SPEAKER_00: 48:27

That was fine. Yeah, it really was. The car rental didn't know nothing about it. It's fine. It was fine.

SPEAKER_06: 48:33

No.

SPEAKER_00: 48:38

We're Dollar Run a car's number one podcast. Yep. They're sponsoring us now.

SPEAKER_02: 48:45

Um, so then uh when Lou and we ate at the French. When Lou finally showed up.

SPEAKER_00: 48:50

Um where did we eat?

SPEAKER_02: 48:52

It was the French. Yeah, I showed up. Riverbell Paris.

SPEAKER_00: 48:56

Yeah, we went to Riverbell Paris. It's right next to uh the entrance to Pirates. Um we eat there fairly often. It was pretty it's good food. I mean, it's a nice sit down, it's inside. Anytime you can go somewhere at Disney and get refillable drinks is a win.

SPEAKER_02: 49:11

Yeah. And get to sit down in an air-conditioned area with just that's quiet, right? Because there's and and there was no like where we were situated, like there was no like traffic. Well, was it a wait, you know? Uh 15 minutes. Even better. I mean, it wasn't bad at all.

SPEAKER_00: 49:28

It wasn't bad at all. I checked in on the app. So you don't need a reservation or anything. You can make one, but yeah, no, it was yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 49:37

It was basically walk-up. Like we checked in from I think Pirates when we were getting on Pirates, and then by the time we got off Pirates and had wandered through the gift shop, it was ready. So I if I remember correctly. Yeah, that's that's that's it wasn't long at all. Uh but good food, and like you said, bottomless drinks. So we probably killed it.

SPEAKER_07: 49:58

That bottomless drinks thing is pretty the win right there, man.

SPEAKER_02: 50:01

Well, we killed like probably seven Power Aids between the two of us. Yeah. We were dehydrated as all fuck from the night before and not really drinking a ton of water that morning.

SPEAKER_07: 50:11

Wait, wait. Do you mean the they had Power Aid in their dispenser?

SPEAKER_00: 50:16

Yeah. It was one of the other. Yeah. Oh blue. Well, beggars can't be too big. Electrolytes are electrolytes, Lou. Yeah. They don't all have the sweat of the Picari.

SPEAKER_01: 50:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 50:31

Nah.

SPEAKER_07: 50:31

If it's blue, nah, we'll pass.

SPEAKER_02: 50:35

It's not blue milk, Lou.

SPEAKER_07: 50:38

Don't have to. Blue is like blue raspberry or something, some crap like that. Um no.

SPEAKER_02: 50:43

I wasn't even tasting it, dude. I was just, I I think I probably drank four or five of them while we were there. Just because I he'd bring one over and I'd just be like, and then be like, okay, and he'd come by later and be like, how are you? Oh, do you need another power item like, yep. Yes.

SPEAKER_07: 50:59

Uh then I mean you don't you don't go get it yourself?

SPEAKER_02: 51:02

Nope. They bring it to you. Oh, it's bottomless, it's bottomless, and they bring it to you. Like, that's double.

SPEAKER_07: 51:08

I'm thinking you got your cup, you go up to the dispenser, like a buffet or something.

SPEAKER_02: 51:12

No. No.

SPEAKER_07: 51:15

Yeah. I mean, are we gonna be honest or no? Wow.

SPEAKER_01: 51:21

Wow.

SPEAKER_07: 51:23

Wow. It's the beard. It's the beard. You could pass for a poor easily. I mean, I'm black, so I'll already pass for a poor.

SPEAKER_02: 51:31

Well, and you ain't got no job. You're on the government cheese. Yeah, that's irrelevant, though.

SPEAKER_07: 51:38

People don't know that. They just look at you and it's like, oh, he's black. He ain't got a job. See what I'm saying? They don't have to know that.

SPEAKER_02: 51:42

They just look at you. You just sit at home and play video games all day.

SPEAKER_07: 51:47

They look at you, they they would absolutely think poor until they saw your shirt. And then it's like, that motherfucker ain't poor. He's got if all he wears is Roosevelt and all his laundry is Roosevelt.

SPEAKER_02: 51:58

Oh my god, dude. Like I told you guys half my laundry today was Roosevelt's. I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_05: 52:04

I saw that.

SPEAKER_02: 52:05

I was giggling, dude. I was giggling.

SPEAKER_05: 52:08

Uh-huh. I was like, how is he? Oh, he has Roosevelt shirts.

SPEAKER_02: 52:12

I uh I, you know, I did tell Jack over the weekend that I'm coming for the number one spot, man. He's he's gotta watch himself. All right, Luda. Uh so uh we finally met up with you guys. Um and then you guys need a parade what's going on.

SPEAKER_00: 52:31

Well, no, you guys needed to. Yeah, there's a parade. We had to find you guys over by uh Tomorrowland.

unknown: 52:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 52:36

And you needed some some nourishment.

SPEAKER_07: 52:39

Well, what it was what it was is it was timing. Uh because it was like we're right there by Star Tours, and Star Tours uh was like in 40 minutes or something for the reservation. I was like, oh well, hell. But there was also only a 25-minute standby. So I was like, okay, here's what we'll do, right? Perfect timing. We'll go get food. You guys do the standby regular line for Star Tours. By the time we're done with food, it'll be time for our reservation for Star Tours. Yep. So Twist twist Jack and Duke's arm, and they had to write Star Tours twice in a 30-minute period.

SPEAKER_02: 53:11

In a round. I think uh I think we did it uh six times over the course of the weekend. I will not uh something like that, yeah. I will never spy. Best day of Disney ever. Um so uh yeah, they went and got food. We got on the funny part about that is we're walking through the park and Jack, like Jack's like, there's Lou. And I was like, Where? And he's like, Oh, never mind, that's just a black guy with a hat.

SPEAKER_07: 53:40

Usually it's the other black guy with a hat, but this time I didn't wear my hat.

SPEAKER_00: 53:44

Yeah, yeah, he didn't even have a hat on this time.

SPEAKER_02: 53:49

But I was like, where? He's like, right over there. I'm like, I don't think that's Lou. He's like, oh, it's just a black guy in a hat. I was like, okay. I mean I was looking in the right place.

SPEAKER_00: 53:58

It's fine.

SPEAKER_07: 53:59

Your heart was in the right place. He had a 90-10 chance of being right, so come on. That's true. Yeah, it's true. Not even 50-50.

SPEAKER_02: 54:07

Um, so then we met up with them, did the Star Trek thing, walked to go meet them. Turns out that they had like ate real quick and then left, so then we had to play the Where Are You game again. We did because we we went to the restaurant, and you guys had you guys were all right. And you ended up you ended up going to the um the burger place. Yeah, and so we're wandering through the pizza place from where the fuck are they? Oh, y'all didn't tell me about this part of the story. Yeah, I didn't hear about that. We walked through the you know, there's that little pack that little little patio area behind the pizza place. We like wandered all through there looking for you guys, and then we were like, the fuck's going on? And then you were like, uh we were texting, and then you're like, we're over here, and you had gone to the grill.

SPEAKER_00: 54:54

Gonna black grill and got a burger or some shit.

SPEAKER_07: 54:57

Yeah, I got a burger, she got chicken fingers or whatever. I think what what switched it was they had some coffee drink over there she wanted to have. That'll do. I don't know what it is with Disneyland and Cocoa Puffs, but the drink, coffee drink had cocoa puffs in it. Yeah, they love themselves from Cocoa Puffs.

SPEAKER_02: 55:12

Yep.

SPEAKER_03: 55:13

They are a cuckoo for those things.

SPEAKER_02: 55:16

So then uh yeah. So then we finally synced up. We uh We did Star Tours. Then we did Star Tours again. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 55:26

Yep.

SPEAKER_02: 55:27

Um with this broke ass seat. There's a broke ass seat in our Star Tours, right? Yep, so we couldn't all set together. It was so sad.

SPEAKER_07: 55:35

I thought that was day two when that happened.

SPEAKER_02: 55:37

Oh, you're right. That was day two. Day one we were fine. Um day one we were up front. We waited we had front row seats the first time, or the third time for us, first time for you. Yeah. Um and then after Star Tours, we wandered on the gift shop a bit because there were a few things that we thought Lou would like. So Lou uh took it all under advisement. He was like, I need to think on this. We're like, okay. So then uh after that we wandered back over to Adventureland and then we did jungle. Uh we did did we do the Dole Whip first? No, I think we did the Jungle Cruise.

SPEAKER_06: 56:12

No, that was okay.

SPEAKER_02: 56:14

We did Jungle Cruise, which was a good time. We had a good skipper.

SPEAKER_03: 56:17

Um pretty funny. Duke was in love.

SPEAKER_01: 56:22

Hell yeah. I love me a good jungle cruise skipper.

SPEAKER_00: 56:27

Some khaki pants.

SPEAKER_01: 56:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 56:29

That's what does it.

SPEAKER_02: 56:31

It is you don't know what life is like in front of a doll down center and you're going, oh two H.

SPEAKER_01: 56:37

Oh two Oh shit. And then I don't know what the line either actually is.

SPEAKER_07: 56:46

What she was really saying was oh two inch. Oh two inch.

SPEAKER_03: 56:54

Oh just because you're right.

SPEAKER_02: 57:10

So um yeah, after Jungle Cruise, we got ourselves some Dole Whip. At that point, it was already like four o'clock or four thirty. So the sun was going down. Uh the Hulk was Hulk was calming down. Yep. Uh and then um I think that's when we went to go watch Walt Disney. Yeah. So then we fought our way back through the crowd because there was another parade going on that we had to fight our way through. Uh we ended up going to the Walt Disney show, which was pretty good. The animatronic was pretty outstanding. I think Lou got confused between the stage showing off. Yeah. When it's about a slave woke up and Walt Disney's all of a sudden moving around and he's like, stand in front of him.

SPEAKER_07: 57:54

That's dedicated for like three star tours? Bruh, then he don't joke. 45 seconds all it took. And I have like, because it's a screen, right? They're showing you this documentary type thing. It's a screen, and then somewhere in between there, the screen removed somehow, up, down, left, right. I don't know what happened to the screen, but it went away. I woke up and there's the animatronics sitting down there. I'm like, what the fu what happened? How is this dude sitting? Although the animatronic was pretty badass. They did a good he's all leaning back on a table on a conference table or a little desk table, whatever. They did a good job with that damn animatronic. But I did get confused.

SPEAKER_01: 58:32

Sorry.

SPEAKER_07: 58:33

Yeah, yeah, no, no. But I they're not lying at all. I got confused and I was like, I don't know what happened. But okay. It's cool. Don't know what happened, but it's cool.

SPEAKER_02: 58:45

Uh and then we happen to be walking by the Sherman Brothers. They have a Sherman Brothers theater type, same type of thing where they have a they just have the film running all the time, and you go in and it's kind of a place if it's hot out, you can go cool off for a little bit. Uh and then Jack was like, oh hey, they have this 70th anniversary thing where they have these machines throughout the park where you scan your magic bands. We all had our magic bands. And uh and then you get a sport tick shells. Yeah. So yeah, we are got magic band plus up in this motherfucker. Yep. Uh so then we all scanned it, got our ticket, and then that was our goal for the rest for the next hour or so was to wander around the park and all the the secret locations that you can get these tickets. But it's weird because you have to have a magic band, and magic bands are not pushed really at all at Disneyland. Like at Disney World, it's it's your fucking lifeline, it's your room ticket key, it's your shuttle key, it's your get on the ride, get into the park thing key. Like it's you know, it's way more pushed there than here at Disney. So you walk up to a thing and people are sitting in front of it, you're like, Can I get through there? They're looking at you weird, and you're like, I gotta scan this, and then they and then everyone goes, Oh, that's cool. Like, how did you do that? What's going on? Ugh. Um, so that took probably an hour of us wandering around fighting through the crowds and everything to get uh all those done. And then that took us about to dinner time, right?

SPEAKER_07: 1:00:11

Olga's oh bad.

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:13

We did do all gusts because or did we sneak on to Ryze at one time, or yeah, we went, yeah, because we went over to that side of the park and to get the rest of the tickets, and then we were in Frontierland. We're like, well, let's just go see if we can get on Rise. I think RISE had a decently short wait.

SPEAKER_07: 1:00:30

No, not no no, it was because what happened was we were just trying to kill time. We were gonna go to the store and then go to Ogus because remember, because I was all like, we need to go when there's uh uh uh 25 minute wait or whatever it was, so we could time right with dinner. So we were walking over there, we're just gonna hang out in the shops. And then while we're walking by, the staff was all the cast members are all rise is open, you can come in now, rise is open. Because apparently it was broke and we didn't know that. Uh so we were like, Oh, that'll kill the right. Amount of time. So we would so that's when we snuck in the rides, because we that was not the plan until those people were like, hey, it's open. No wait, basically.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:09

Which is the second time that's happened to us.

SPEAKER_07: 1:01:11

Yep.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:12

Because that happened last year, too.

SPEAKER_07: 1:01:14

It happened last year.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:15

So um, yeah, he was like, get on the ride before everyone else knows, before they announced it on the park gap or whatever, and we're like, okay. Like we basically literally, we basically walked right on. Like, we didn't really stop at all. No, it didn't stop at all until we got to the briefing room. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 1:01:31

So that timed out really well. And even the ride itself, it ended right when we needed to go get on the wait list for Olga's. It was it was also good.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:41

And then by the time we walked over to Olga's, they we got it was perfect. Yeah. It was our timing was up. We checked in, they basically got us right in.

SPEAKER_00: 1:01:50

Um we were at a table with we had a table, and then our table partners left.

SPEAKER_07: 1:01:56

Yeah, we were having a good time, so too many people for them. Um our although it's probably good if they were on that side, I would have gotten to a fight. The way them people were bumping into them, that shit would have happened to me.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:09

I think it was a bigger group than what should have been there were at the at the bar, and we were at a table right behind the bar.

SPEAKER_07: 1:02:17

Yeah, it was eleven of them. There was eleven of them at the bar, and then we're right behind it.

SPEAKER_00: 1:02:20

And and they were all done drinking and everything, and so did.

SPEAKER_01: 1:02:26

Yeah, they were just fucking around. Uh I think.

SPEAKER_07: 1:02:33

You fucked that up pretty bad, Jack. That's not how that goes. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:42

You can't stay here, but you don't have to go home.

SPEAKER_06: 1:02:48

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:50

Uh I think at that point I was I think at that point I was the only one that was drinking. Uh I think every did we get any other alcohol? You got an alcoholic drink. No, Jack's the only one who was a taunton.

SPEAKER_07: 1:03:01

Yeah, Jack's the only one who didn't. Yeah. You you got two, and then everybody else had one. Yeah, because we split me, me, you, and old girl split that fuzzy tauntaun.

SPEAKER_02: 1:03:10

Oh, and that was something else Jack and I did. We did go to Olga's in the morning. Early in the morning, we had already survived. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 1:03:15

Because Jack was getting the uh energy drink. Oh no, the hide the power a drink.

SPEAKER_02: 1:03:19

The power a little power in it. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 1:03:21

Yeah, because you got it again in the evening.

SPEAKER_02: 1:03:23

Yeah. That's pretty good. Um, so yeah, so we did that, and that took us right up to our time to the dinner reservation at Jack's. Santa Santa Jack got us all the uh exclusive dinner in a movie tickets for Galaxy's Edge. So they have an area that is like prime seating. Uh and two years ago, oh yeah, two years ago, when they originally started doing the fireworks, or not promoting the fireworks, but it was one of those like the fireworks ended up being set up basically right behind the twin spires. And the first year that we all went together, we were able to sit in this like area where it was like a dining area outside of Docking Base 7 and watch the fireworks, and it was dope as shit. And then the last year we went, they had cordoned off that whole area, moved all the tables out, and it was just standing room, but it was an exclusive ticket. We were like, ah, that's kind of cool, but for a hundred bucks it's kind of expensive. So then as a as a Christmas gift to us, Jack ended up buying all four of us uh tickets to it, and it ended up being actually a pretty amazing experience on the whole. I didn't hate it.

SPEAKER_00: 1:04:33

Um Lou ended up liking it, which was a win. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 1:04:38

Oh yeah, because Mr. Bernstein over here was not about it. Uh he was not about paying a hundred bucks for that thing.

SPEAKER_00: 1:04:46

A couple episodes ago, you were like, I'll be down at the bottom by the Falcon while I wave up to you guys.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:51

Yeah, y'all have fun. Now Jack was like, if you only knew.

SPEAKER_05: 1:04:58

Now it's part of the budget.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:59

Yeah. So uh basically what you do is you go in, you get you get checked in, they give you a lanyard that gives you access to Docking Base 7, which is one of the fast uh the quick counter serving. Yeah, counter serving uh locations. They close it early at night, and then it's just open for people who have paid for this experience. You basically go in, they give you a bento box type container that has a bunch of different little kind of bite-sized foods in it, uh, with bottomless sodas. Uh, you can order, they had wine and beer, um, and you got they had like a specialty drink that you could get. Um and so we all sat down, and by the time we had gotten there, the first show of projection show was about to start. Projection show, the light show was five minutes to start. Galaxy's edge was about to start. So we put our food down, went out to the standing area. They had an area where it was limited to just you know filling up that space, and that's and it didn't actually feel that full. Um it didn't actually. I agree. I agree. The fireworks, it felt more full than it was for the light show. Yes. Um, but we had plenty of room for ourselves, like space. And then um they have a droid, they have a giant droid that's up by the twin spires that is actually was actually owned by a person they call the lore master, who was somebody who was on Batuu some period of time in the past, right? Yeah. Uh and he recorded this message that they splash up on the uh the twin spires, and then they have uh projectors all throughout uh Galaxy's Edge that basically light up uh both twin both of the the spires, and then they basically tell the story of the original trilogy through the lore masters story. Um so it was an interesting perspective because it wasn't like all of the detail of everything that had happened, it was very like over. Personally, I thought it was, yeah, this is the stuff that would get passed down, right? It wouldn't be a beat by beat of all three movies, it would be distilled down into like the essential stuff. Uh so I believe it was just the it was just the original trilogy, right? No, it was one through six because they had quite gone. One through eight. Okay, so I had the prequels as well. Okay. So it's so yeah, it was based on Anakin's story. So yeah, it was Anakin's story, yeah. So they did a I thought they did a fantastic job with the way the story was told and the graph the visuals and stuff like that. It was all very abstract shadows. Um they would have like they weren't like using their likenesses or something. Yeah, but it was like it was like just outlines and that type of stuff. There was nothing um you weren't like, oh, that's Harrison Ford, oh that's Hayden Christensen. It was it was just visualizations of them.

SPEAKER_00: 1:07:59

You could tell it was the character, it just didn't have their faces, technically.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:05

But they had a bunch of stuff where they would have transitions where if they were going from like Naboo to like Coruscant, like pieces of the rocks and stuff would fall out and it would show like what was behind it. So the transitions, I thought they did a really, really good job with that. Um the lore master, I thought, did a good job of communicating. Like his voice was very much like something that you would definitely be paying. Like, if they did a podcast with him, you would not be listening to us. We should have a lot about it. You guys yeah, we should get that guy. See if he's still alive. Um but yeah, I was very, very impressed by it. That was the first I I had seen it on video on YouTube, but that did not if you've seen it on YouTube, you you're you're not getting the whole thing.

SPEAKER_01: 1:08:52

So uh Lou Jack, thoughts? Opinions?

SPEAKER_07: 1:08:57

They they they skipped the Death Star blowing up.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:01

Yeah, they did. That bothered me.

SPEAKER_00: 1:09:06

But that wasn't important to Anakin's story.

SPEAKER_07: 1:09:09

No, it was not, but they're going through one through six, and that's an important part of the story of one through six versus Anakin. And if they're gonna tell the story, uh he was there when it happened. Uh and I wanted that in there. And he wasn't. So that stood out to me. That that wasn't there. All the other stuff Duke said, spot on. It was really damn good. Uh well done, everything, the graphics, the visuals, the outlining, all that, top notch. The only one negative, no Death Star.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:43

Alright. Well, that makes sense why you were yelling at the top of your lungs during that part. Where's the Death Star? I just got taken out of this show. I don't want to watch it anymore.

SPEAKER_07: 1:09:51

Yeah, and at that point I was like, can I go eat my food, man? I gotta kick me getting all hard now.

SPEAKER_00: 1:09:58

Immersion broken. My cheeseburger croquettes are gonna be cold.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:06

Uh, what about you, Jack? I mean, you've seen this a couple times, obviously, so um like one and a half times before this.

SPEAKER_00: 1:10:13

Okay. Obviously, it was cooler standing up there to watch it. Yeah. Uh but no, I dig it. Like when the rocks and stuff are falling, uh, there's that one part where it like all like turns into a black hole or something. Okay, and it's all the stars. The muster stuff was really cool, yeah. And it's cool, like at the end when they're talking about the the legacy of the Jedi and like there's Ahsoka cave paintings and stuff and shadows of rain and everything. I think it's super cool. And Florida doesn't have it, so suck it, bitches.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:48

I'm not gonna say I cried, but I did my my cheeks were a tiny bit damp at the end of it.

SPEAKER_07: 1:10:54

So I didn't cry, but I definitely uh watered up. That's what I mean.

SPEAKER_00: 1:10:59

Yeah. It it's just it's just done so well, in my opinion. Yeah, it's just super good.

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:07

For not being a because because we I've been to Florida when they do the Star Wars nights and they broadcast the basically just clips from the movies or graphics from the movies on the uh the great movie ride now runaway uh runaway picnic, is that what it's called?

SPEAKER_01: 1:11:33

The Mickey and Mini.

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:35

Runaway Real Runaway Real, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 1:11:37

Was that the racist goofy one?

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:40

Yeah. So uh they they broadcast that using projectors on that building, which is super cool, but it's also just retail, it's basically just hitting all the high points of the all the movies while playing the music in the background. So um so then we went inside and ate, and you know, I was kind of under underwhelmed by the food that I saw, but then it did, it was very filling. Like at the end of eating, I was like, okay, like this actually ended up being like a good amount of food. Like I was like, I was sated at the end of it. So what did you guys think of the food?

SPEAKER_07: 1:12:16

You got full on soda.

SPEAKER_00: 1:12:18

I liked it well enough.

SPEAKER_07: 1:12:20

Yeah. Agreed. I I uh obviously I'm the one who bitched about it the most uh a year ago when all this came out and it was a thing. I was like I barely give you any food, blah blah blah. But Duke's not wrong. Uh it was it was enough. Yeah. I mean it was to the point where we between the four of us, we did not eat everything. We all share, right? Like, hey, you want this, you want whatever, and we didn't eat everything. That that's it it was it was plenty enough for sure.

SPEAKER_00: 1:12:50

And we got a pin out of the thing.

SPEAKER_07: 1:12:54

Uh you know, yeah. I mean, look, look, y'all. I mean, the fact that my cheap ass is willing to add it to the budget every year. Um yeah, that's all you need to know. I'm I'm uh I I was okay with it. Uh the tacos were probably the best. Um the cheeseburger balls I thought were fine. The shark coochie was pretty good.

SPEAKER_00: 1:13:21

Um minus Except for that little salty meat candy.

SPEAKER_07: 1:13:26

Yeah, whatever that little thing was, that can go to hell. The rest of it was good.

SPEAKER_00: 1:13:30

It offended Lou.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:31

I I will say the two things that I was the two things, and these are kind of minor complaints that I think could be rectified, is number one, I and this was kind of on us, we could have stayed and continued to eat, was I thought the food by the time we got back in from the late show was it getting on the cold side. So I would have liked there to have be something where it would have kept the food warmer a little bit longer. Um the food was good, but I feel like if the croquettes and stuff, the taco would have been a little warmer, like it would have it would have hit a little better. Uh and then the second thing was the drink that they gave us, like by the time we made it back to the table, it had a uh it had a cotton candy top. And by the time we got back down, sat down and started eating, the cotton candy top had hardened to where you weren't able to like you're basically just like eating it like a sandwich.

SPEAKER_07: 1:14:20

Then then you know I mean you're not wrong, but you the first thing you said is what it is, all right? That's on us. We chose to do it that way.

SPEAKER_02: 1:14:28

Yeah, we could have gotten our food after the sh the light show. It's true. So maybe we'll try that next year if we do this again and see if there's a difference as far as quality or you know, consistency or anything like that.

SPEAKER_00: 1:14:40

So you were gonna say something, Jack? No. I was gonna say we probably could have got our food after the first show. Yeah. And then because it was what, a good half hour, hour between the projection show and guy worked? I think it was like 45 minutes.

SPEAKER_07: 1:14:59

Yeah, it was about 25, 35 minutes, something like that.

SPEAKER_00: 1:15:02

Something like that. But it was enough time that we could have got our food and longer.

unknown: 1:15:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:15:06

Well, I think we can go back in afterwards and finish and sit down if we wanted to.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15:10

So well, I think we kind of I I know I thought when we walked in there and the place was full, I was like, oh shit, we need to get our food and get sat down. Like we need to get a table. But then after we came back in after the late show and the place was fucking empty, and we were like, I was like, oh, like we didn't actually need to we we we didn't need to rush that part.

SPEAKER_07: 1:15:31

Yeah, we would have easily struggling for tables, and then we walked back and I was like, dude, there's tables over here with some backs if we want to move, tables over here. Like instead of sitting on the stools, we we could have moved to a uh quote unquote half booth. So so now we know, you know, now we know.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15:47

Uh so then after so then after the half an hour, 45 minutes, whatever it was, uh, we went back out. We finished eating, we wrapped everything up, we went back out to the same standing area, and then we got to have the fireworks show that is their normal every night Disney. This was not special to Galaxy's Edge, this was just their normal show. But instead of listening to the holiday music and all of the bullshit that goes on on Main Street, we got Star Wars music. Uh and I think Jack's biggest complaint was that we didn't get to hear Duel of Fates. If I was to because I think at some point I heard you lean over and you're like, this is the part where Duel of the Fates comes on, and then it went into like the the the the ending finale stuff, and I was like, wait. Uh but again, love love the Disney fireworks, love uh love Star Wars music, so really that's you know it you know that it's the merging of the stuff.

SPEAKER_00: 1:16:38

And then they you know the lore master comes back out and he talks about it again, and then they play Star Wars music the whole time. And John Williams is better than whoever Disney hired to rate their music, so always and was that the end of night one?

SPEAKER_03: 1:16:58

No, we got our droids. I thought we got our droids.

SPEAKER_00: 1:17:06

It was it was the night one that we got droids. Because we were trying to convince you to come back tomorrow to get one.

SPEAKER_07: 1:17:11

Oh, that's right, because I got my shirt the next day instead.

SPEAKER_00: 1:17:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 1:17:14

So I wanted both. I wanted a shirt and a jersey and didn't have the jersey.

SPEAKER_02: 1:17:18

That that was that was the other thing we did in the morning, is Jack and I went because I was uh I think at least me, if not both of us, were contemplating doing the reforged lightsabers, which is the new Saviz lightsaber, and we had a pretty cool interaction with the people working behind the counter about theoretically, if you guys were to be collecting star uh lightsaber parts, uh, would you happen to have any lightsaber? And then they responded, so it was a very it was a good, it was a cool moment. Um so but I mean Disney does a really good job. We were LARPing, we're nerds, yeah. Yeah, we were LARPing, it's fine. But uh they they were missing two of the parts that we would have wanted, uh, and they weren't sure that they were going to get them back in. So we were like, all right, deuces, we'll be back, and then we we never went back. We never came back. Uh so in replacement of that, uh three of us did droids.

SPEAKER_01: 1:18:09

Um and so Jack made a R2 unit with a clear unit with a clear down.

SPEAKER_03: 1:18:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:18:19

Um He was a Raiders droid until he got home.

SPEAKER_02: 1:18:25

Uh Old Girl made a which one did she go with?

SPEAKER_00: 1:18:29

Because she had the R2. Uh she did the anniversary, the 70th anniversary.

SPEAKER_07: 1:18:35

The Easter looking one. Yeah. Uh, because she already has the R5 and an I think she has it. No, she has a chopper and she has a uh BB.

SPEAKER_02: 1:18:46

Uh I originally was gonna do an R5 because I liked the weathering in this shop, but then realized that the weathering was just on that particular one and not on the the out of the box. Uh so I ended up display only. Yeah, I ended up morphing into an R5, so I have R567, 67. Um 67. I I actually asked a couple people about that. I was like, I was either uh R5, what was my other one? Uh R5DN for R5D's nuts or R567, and both of them said R567 is a way better name. And I went, okay, fine. He's R567.

SPEAKER_07: 1:19:25

Uh that reminds you, did you guys see that In N Out stop using 67? Yeah. For your order ticket. Order number 66, order number 68. They skip 67 now off the computer.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:40

Order number 665, order number six.

SPEAKER_07: 1:19:42

People are stupid, so that's what you gotta do. You want to be immature.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:45

I like that they banned 67, but not 6'9.

SPEAKER_07: 1:19:49

That's been banned for a while.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:49

69's been banned for a while. Um so yeah, so we built our droids, and that took a little bit of time. Uh, we ended up going through the droid shop, and then we ended up. Was that it? That was what we did, right? We wrapped up at that point. And I think so. I think nobody wanted to walk around.

SPEAKER_07: 1:20:09

That was the point to end the night with droids. We're not walking around with him the whole time.

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:12

And then uh we ended up heading out. Uh waited a decent error time.

SPEAKER_07: 1:20:18

Oh, waited 40 minutes for the damn tram.

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:21

Was that okay? That was the first night when we sat there waiting for uh the place so there were multiple there's so when you get to downtown on the first night. When we get when you get to downtown, there's multiple locations to pick up trams, and the place that we the the location we picked uh got passed over, I think we said five times, basically. Something like that. Yeah. Before uh tram actually stopped for us. Uh so we were standing there for quite a while and people were getting pretty frustrated.

SPEAKER_07: 1:20:48

Uh yeah, I think an employee had to go tell them something.

SPEAKER_00: 1:20:51

Yeah, looking at stop, he was stomping over, he was fixing a yell at someone.

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:57

So uh we finally made it back home. Um oh we stopped at Denny's or stopped at Wendy's on the way home. We were originally stopped for food, and then we were like no no no that was night two because night two we were we were leaving earlier, so we were gonna go get some food. Uh that night I think we just went back and just immediately went to bed. Um so then Saturday morning we all got up together. Uh and that on Saturday we had DCA as our starting park. So both days we had Park Hopper. Um so Saturday we all got up, cleaned up, everybody was good to go. We uh we grabbed a bunch of breakfast stuff for the following morning, which we'll get to in a little bit. Uh headed into Disney and immediately went to DCA.

SPEAKER_07: 1:21:47

Um that'll be next week's story because it's already an hour 20 in.

SPEAKER_02: 1:21:51

Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah, holy cow. So you guys are gonna have to wait for the exciting DCA story. And Doug was the fucking bomb. Doug was I have never I have never done a cast member shout-out before, but I like made a point to be like beep boop beep. Doug was the bomb. Like, don't you design him and we love him. Yeah.

unknown: 1:22:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_07: 1:22:15

Oh, right on. Good for you, man. That dude was that dude was on it. He he was only temporary. Um right.

SPEAKER_00: 1:22:20

He was filling in for break.

SPEAKER_07: 1:22:22

We'll we'll pick this, we'll pick this part of the story up next week, y'all. I'm curious about you guys' opinion on the supergirl trailer.

SPEAKER_00: 1:22:29

I don't hate it. I mean, it's just a teaser. Yeah. Um, I don't mind Millie at all. Her face is weird. So we'll see, but I think she does a good job acting. I watched it for like a second time today, and I'm like, oh, since uh fucking Momoa's in there, it's like uh a transgenerational Game of Thrones reunion.

SPEAKER_07: 1:22:55

A little bit. I saw it, I wasn't impressed, but I wasn't unimpressed either. I'll wait till a real trailer comes out before I make an actual opinion. I don't like that they're making her just uh I mean, I get that's her character. I understand what her character is, understand what happened to her and her family. I understand all that with the sh with the with her dad or her family in the shrinked up little city. I get all that, I get all that, but her attitude, it was like, I'm not trying to watch this brooding girl, especially with my mood these days. I'm not trying to watch that. So it was like, all right, I get it. I know part of its attitude right now. I'll wait till a real trailer comes out. Movie's not out until June. So when the real trailer comes out in March, you know, I'll care then.

SPEAKER_02: 1:23:40

Well, and I also feel like, too, that they've up for the movies that they've had so far Suicide Squad in this one, I feel like they've done a good job with the trailers not giving everything away. So I feel like there's a bigger character arc that she goes through in the movie that they just haven't they aren't showing in that they won't show in the trailer, and you won't know until you go into the movie.

SPEAKER_07: 1:24:02

Well, if you if you're with the comics, I mean I already know what what that what that arc is, what and all the the drama she's she went through and she's going through and why she's in that movie. So I get that. It's just that what they showed, I was just like, all right. But that whole like it's it's like it I I was already turned off at the end of Superman when she's all like, bye, bitch. I'm like, oh god, here we go. She's gonna be one of those type of millennial bitches. So it was like Gen Zers or whatever they, whoever does. It was just it was just like I found her character already annoying just in 10 seconds of Superman.

SPEAKER_00: 1:24:36

Um you don't like you don't like drunk white girls, though?

SPEAKER_07: 1:24:40

Yeah, drunk white girls are fantastic, bitchy uh attitude type, uh drunk white girls, and have that type of bullet. No, I want no part of that. Uh like I said, plus your face looks weird. Something about her mouth or something. That's just how her face is. Her face looks weird. She doesn't have any control over that weird face, you know, type thing. No, the casting people could have hired somebody else. I mean, I get why they hired her. I mean, partly anyway. She's she's good at what she does. She is a good actress, I'll give her credit. And because of the language of Game of Thrones, those same people who did the language for Game of Thrones, the language for Krypton. So they brought her, I mean, she can work with them, and you know, the first part of the movie, or at least the flashback scene when they're talking about what happened to her planet, is in is in uh Kryptonian. So good, I get that, but you don't hire just for that. I mean, I don't know. Again, like I said, it's like watching Anna Taylor Joy. It's like her face is weird. It's like, you put your eyeballs back closer together or something? It's like, what is going on here? It's like a little mermaid girl. It's like, man, talk about peripheral vision. Good lord, that's shit's 360.

SPEAKER_02: 1:25:50

As right now, the door, somebody knocks at the door and it's Anna Taylor Joy. Hey, what's up, Blue? Uh, you know what? I'm good. Go on. I mean, maybe. I mean I got you a lift. He's he's yelling through the door. I got you a lift. It'll be here in five minutes. No.

SPEAKER_00: 1:26:07

For real. I'll eat. Here's a$1.75 fucking bus ticket.

SPEAKER_07: 1:26:13

$2.75 boulder.

SPEAKER_01: 1:26:15

It's$2.75 here in Boulder.

SPEAKER_07: 1:26:17

I'll I'll pay$5.50 and get her the all-day pass.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:20

Wow. Generous. Daddy is generous. I will step it up.

SPEAKER_07: 1:26:25

Get gone. But it's like, how are you supposed to look at everybody? She's giving you head, man. It's like, let me look over here. Let me look over here. Look you right in the eyes. I gotta put my head on a swivel and look her in the eyes. I mean, come on now.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:38

Lou's getting a blowjob from a hammerhead shark. What's happening right now, Lou?

SPEAKER_07: 1:26:42

For real. Like, man. Although I will take, uh, I don't know her name, but the Supergirl over Anna. I like her face is weird, too.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:56

Flashverse, Flashverse Supergirl.

SPEAKER_07: 1:27:00

No, not girl. No, Millie. Millie Alcock. Ben Moist, whatever. Melissa gets me moist. Yeah, I'll take her over both of them.

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:08

Right. The Flashverse Supergirl.

SPEAKER_07: 1:27:10

Yeah, the Flash Girl. I was talking about the movie one over Anna Taylor. I would I would take the movie Super.

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:16

Oh, okay. So it's they both have weird faces. But there's Flash first, Supergirl, Supergirl, movie Supergirl, then Furiosa. That's your okay. That's your order of operations.

SPEAKER_07: 1:27:29

Of those three. Of those three. And you have this little this little separation way too close. It's like here. You gotta drop a whole bunch.

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:38

That's like and then drop it. And then keep dropping it.

SPEAKER_07: 1:27:40

And then yeah, the j you did drop it here, it would be perfect. Oh man. But um I'm thinking any like movie-wise, I obviously none of us made we have a we have a secret movie tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:54

Um, there is nothing coming out through like the middle of January at this point.

SPEAKER_07: 1:27:59

Like I mean, you got three days from now is Fallout, and that's about it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:28:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 1:28:04

TV show. But movie-wise, I haven't been paying attention. All I know is we got a secret movie on Monday, tomorrow, and I forgot about it until I was playing on my calendar, and I was like, why are there dots on my calendar? I'm like, oh yeah. Uh Hanukkah, I think, or Hanukkah and Secret Movie tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02: 1:28:22

Yeah, we were looking, uh, my movie friends and I were looking over upcoming movies, and like there is a bunch of the well, a bunch of the like Oscar type potential Oscar movies are like re-releasing over like the next two to three weeks. Yeah. Um blah. Yeah, exactly. Uh the you know, like Dr. Seuss's the Jim Carrey, How the Grinch stole Christmas.

SPEAKER_07: 1:28:50

Oh, there is like they're doing all of them though. They're doing all of 20 different Grinches.

SPEAKER_02: 1:28:55

Yeah, but a bunch of them are doing like 20, 25, you know, uh 25 year anniversary type stuff, because we're creeping up on that for a bunch of these type of movies. Um I mean, there's the new Avatar movie. Uh we we got we had got a laugh out of that because they they've been putting a the little trailer that was on like during the game, and they were like, the new avatar is the best avatar, and we're like, okay, so based on all three avatars, this one's the best avatar, but you're saying there have been other better movies this year? Just the way that they worded it, they were like the best avatar. We're like, no, no, no, you're not saying like you could be saying the best movie of 2025, but no, you're just saying the best avatar out of the three avatars.

SPEAKER_07: 1:29:45

Yeah, that's a good point. That is exactly how that could be interpreted. Wow.

SPEAKER_02: 1:29:52

What rating is uh what rating is your movie?

SPEAKER_07: 1:29:54

PG 13.

SPEAKER_02: 1:29:56

Uh it'll be Song Sun Blue. It'll be the Lou Diamond or Neil Diamond, uh the Hugh Jackman Goldiehan movie. Or not Goldiehan, her daughter. Um Kate Hudson. Kate Hudson. There you go. Thank you. I'm okay with that. Looks like that's the only thing that's coming out. It's then that's coming out on Christmas. So that would line up with our time with the timeline.

SPEAKER_00: 1:30:21

I was thinking it's either that or maybe Anaconda. Yeah. Yeah. It's David and Long Shot, it would be Avatar.

SPEAKER_07: 1:30:31

Yeah. It's David and Goliath.

SPEAKER_00: 1:30:34

No, that's like G or something. Oh.

SPEAKER_02: 1:30:38

Uh, what do you guys, real quick, what do you guys think of the new Daisy Ridley movie, The We Bury the Dead? I don't think I talked about that or even had a lot of it. I don't know if I watched that trailer yet.

SPEAKER_07: 1:30:47

I don't know. I don't think I've heard of that.

SPEAKER_02: 1:30:48

Okay. Well, it looks interesting. It has it's like a zombie movie, but it's like a. What how do they explain it? What's the give me one second? Let me look up the little summarization. Because they're zombies, but it's like a different take on zombies. Um let's see. We Bury the Dead is a 2025 zombie survivor film. Uh it stars Daisy Ridley. Uh, the plot centers on a woman desperate to find her missing husband and follows her terrifying yet moving journey as she takes on Grief, Lost, and the Undead. Uh, the premise is Ava Newman, a desperate woman, searches for her husband in the aftermath of a catastrophic military experiment, hoping to find him alive. Ava joins a body retrieval unit, but her search takes a chilling turn when the corpses she's burying start showing signs of life. The trailer looks pretty decent. Like, as far as for Daisy Ridley non-Star Wars movies, I was like, I it's the one out of all of them that I've seen the trailers for, this one I was like, okay. Like, I it looks interesting at least. Like, none of the rest of the movies she's done outside of Star Wars have had when is it coming out? Uh January 2nd.

SPEAKER_07: 1:32:01

Maybe we'll get a trailer tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02: 1:32:03

Maybe, yeah. It's not rated as of right now. So uh Greenland 2 migration, that comes out the beginning of January.

SPEAKER_07: 1:32:10

I like the first one a lot. I saw it last year, and I was pleasantly, I was just like, I just like disaster movies, so I was looking for one. And that one, the story with them and the kit, that was a really good one. I like that one. So when part two came out, uh, I saw the trailer a couple weeks ago, whatever last uh secret movie we did, and I was like, this movie looks familiar. Uh you know what me in my memory was movies. It was like, this I was like, didn't I already see this? And then they came up, you know, Greenland 2, and I was like, oh yes, I did see the first one. So I'm looking forward to that one.

SPEAKER_02: 1:32:43

But that's January, so we still got another, you know, four or five weeks for that. Uh then we got Mercy, the Netflix one with uh Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt. The minority report-ish.

SPEAKER_07: 1:32:58

Then we get to our January 16, 23, 30th excellent movies. Yeah. Um that one, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:33:06

Good luck, have fun, don't die.

SPEAKER_03: 1:33:09

I saw that trailer. Looks like it might be interesting.

SPEAKER_02: 1:33:14

Yeah, it was interesting.

SPEAKER_03: 1:33:16

Agreed.

SPEAKER_02: 1:33:17

Uh send help. That was the one we had the trailer. But now we're getting into the end of January.

SPEAKER_07: 1:33:22

Um, too far moved from that.

SPEAKER_02: 1:33:25

Yeah. So that's a year some shit. Yeah, that's so far away.

SPEAKER_07: 1:33:30

That's a year from now, buddy.

SPEAKER_02: 1:33:31

Yeah. But all right, kids. Well, Lou, I look forward to hearing what the movie is tomorrow.

SPEAKER_07: 1:33:39

Oh, yeah. As usual, I'll be off to the side, waiting for them to get a title up there, or production companies, so y'all can try to guess.

SPEAKER_00: 1:33:45

I'll start Googling it.

SPEAKER_07: 1:33:46

Exactly. You think y'all can guess beforehand, but it'll be the same thing. Um should be fun. I mean, I'm super curious. Uh it'll be interesting. Gotta see if old girl can leave early. Because last time they did this, even though the movies don't start until 7.25, she's not off till 6.45, so 40 minutes, and she's about 40 minutes away. So the timing is a little bit of a bitch, but like going in the going forward, I might start doing these um in Longmont because then she's 10 minutes away.

SPEAKER_01: 1:34:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07: 1:34:17

So, but this one, maybe the last one we do here, because I still have my real account, my real card, and I guess we'll get benefits fair, but uh either that or she has to leave at 6 30. So I'll talk to her about it. Uh see what she wants to do.

SPEAKER_02: 1:34:30

I did uh Tuesday, we did actually go see Kill Bill. So the whole bloody affair.

SPEAKER_07: 1:34:34

Oh, yeah, the whole bloody affair.

SPEAKER_02: 1:34:35

It was really good. Oh nice. Like the the uh the the 4K upscaling, they did a great job with it. The extra segment, I thought, added a lot. The cartoon? Yeah. Um it was just an extension of the Orenishi uh story, but it helped, it just added a little more flavor to it. Um at the end, we were like, wait, what about this part? And what about the oh no, this is where they were recapping part one, so there was no reason for her to have no reason for them to have the five minutes of her driving in the car because all she was doing was talking about shit you just saw 20 minutes ago. Yep. So but we still got 35 minutes of commercials and trailers, so that was fucking awesome for a four and a half hour movie.

SPEAKER_07: 1:35:19

You don't show up late anticipating that.

SPEAKER_02: 1:35:22

Well, we we with the movie being a re-release and the way it was four and a half hours, we weren't sure.

SPEAKER_04: 1:35:27

Uh okay.

SPEAKER_02: 1:35:28

Uh, we thought worst case they would give us a couple commercials and stuff, but we got the full everything, uh, the whole shebang as far as trailers and stuff goes. So it was just like so we were there almost five hours. It was kind of crazy.

SPEAKER_07: 1:35:42

Like I play on my phone during nowadays, I'll play on my phone. If somebody wants to say anything, they're welcome to. It'll be like, my phone will be off when the movie starts. Until then, you can shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_02: 1:35:53

Uh the funny interaction was uh there was a bunch of guys behind us in the back row, and we got to the intermission part, and one of the guys was like, I think Sisu was a better Sisu 2 was a better movie, and the guys were like, What? And they were like, You've never seen Kill Bill before? Like you didn't see it when it first came out, and the guy's like, no. And he's like, uh, okay, so you think Sisu 2 is a better movie? He's like, Yeah, and he's like, Are you gay?

SPEAKER_07: 1:36:23

Nah, Sisu 2 was a good movie.

SPEAKER_02: 1:36:26

In my head, I was just like, Yep, that was us 20 years ago, because that's totally a conversation we would have had.

SPEAKER_07: 1:36:33

I don't know. I I'd like to you guys are the Kill Bill people. I'd probably watch Seisu 2 before I watched Kill Bill.

SPEAKER_02: 1:36:39

Have you ever seen Kill Bill?

SPEAKER_07: 1:36:41

Yes.

SPEAKER_02: 1:36:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_07: 1:36:42

And I still watch it over.

SPEAKER_02: 1:36:44

No.

SPEAKER_00: 1:36:45

He doesn't remember it, so it's fine.

SPEAKER_07: 1:36:46

There's a little Chinese girl with like a mace. There's a fight scene in a restaurant.

SPEAKER_01: 1:36:52

Flail. Flail?

SPEAKER_07: 1:36:54

Wait, there's a fight in a house with the black girl. Um I think I think the big dude who's in all Quentin Tarantino movies is in it. Um, I think he died like three years ago. Um, maybe no, she was getting married. I wait, maybe I don't know.

SPEAKER_02: 1:37:17

We might start having to Starver movies. We might start having to go through movies from like 25 years ago and have Lou just Lou is like the little girl. Yeah, Lou is like that little girl recapping Star Wars, the video that was came out a couple years ago where she'd just seen like her dad had made her watch all three movies, and she's sitting there like at breakfast the next day, and he's like, tell me about the Star Wars movies. And you're just like, Oh, he's so adorable.

SPEAKER_07: 1:37:49

I remember the fight scene in the restaurant was really cool.

SPEAKER_01: 1:37:53

Yes, it was.

SPEAKER_07: 1:37:55

I remember the fight scene at a house because a daughter shows up at one point. Yeah, I don't remember much more than that. Wait, a splash. The mermaid is in it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:38:06

Good job, Lou. But she's not playing a mermaid.

SPEAKER_07: 1:38:13

I don't know why she has a patch, but she has a patch on her eye.

SPEAKER_02: 1:38:16

Um she talked shit and got hit. Yep, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_07: 1:38:20

Seriously, is that what happened?

SPEAKER_02: 1:38:23

She ran her mouth and her master was just like Oh, damn. Rude?

SPEAKER_07: 1:38:28

Was it wasn't Kung Fu in there too? Kung Fu is like the name bad guy?

SPEAKER_02: 1:38:32

Yep.

unknown: 1:38:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 1:38:33

He is Bill. Oh usually her master would play Got Your Thumb. Instead, he played Gotcha I.

SPEAKER_07: 1:38:44

Okay, maybe I'll watch it. That'd be good.

SPEAKER_05: 1:38:47

That'd be a nice new movie for me.

SPEAKER_07: 1:38:50

I'll compare it to Sizu too, since that was still fresh in my head.

SPEAKER_00: 1:38:54

Who's gonna be on the pod next week wearing a yellow jumpsuit looking like uh fucking Bruce Lee and shit?

SPEAKER_02: 1:39:02

But he's gonna be the Uncle Ruckus of he's gonna be the Uncle Ruckus version where the bottom of the zipper is gonna pop open and his belly's just gonna be hanging out.

SPEAKER_07: 1:39:10

Yeah, looking like this and shit.

SPEAKER_02: 1:39:13

Guys, I saw I saw Kill Bill.

SPEAKER_07: 1:39:22

I'll be like, hey, have you guys seen Kill Bill? It's a really good movie.

SPEAKER_02: 1:39:28

Nope, we have not.

SPEAKER_07: 1:39:30

I don't even know if what I was saying was in part one or two, actually.

SPEAKER_00: 1:39:36

Or part three. Actually, maybe there was a part anything about part two. Everything you said was all in part one.

SPEAKER_07: 1:39:41

Uh oh, I don't remember shit about part two, then. Wait, doesn't the main girl and kung fu end up at like a kitchen table across from each other? Is that part two? You finally decided to part two, yes.

SPEAKER_02: 1:39:55

Part two. Good job, Lou.

SPEAKER_07: 1:39:59

Yeah, don't know what happens after that, but I'm pretty sure they're talking to each other at one point. Like it's like it'll be all your brand new for me. I'm like, I don't know how this movie's gonna end. I think she wins. Kind of weird if she didn't, but whatever.

SPEAKER_02: 1:40:14

Lou Lou is suffering from Lou is suffering from hunger, uh, hunger memory loss right now.

unknown: 1:40:20

Right.

SPEAKER_07: 1:40:21

Bruh, as soon as this is over, I'm like, I I'm about to go and say, what do you want from McDee's? And I'm heading right over there to get it. Um but but if she doesn't want to watch it, maybe I'll do that on Tuesday. I'll go watch that and be like, oh, that's what this movie's about. Do they explain why they want to kill her?

SPEAKER_02: 1:40:37

Just go about 35 minutes. Just go about 35 minutes late, Lou. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07: 1:40:42

Good to know. No, no, wait. No, never mind. I was gonna say no, I'll go watch the trailer, uh, but Avatar's not out yet for me to go watch the trailer. One of the four trailers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:40:52

Yeah, you gotta see it every week.

SPEAKER_07: 1:40:54

Mm-hmm. Tuesday movies. Time it where Avatar is about to start. Well, when mine ends, Avatar is about to start, so I can stay gay real quick, stand, step to the side, watch the trailer, and get gone.

SPEAKER_02: 1:41:07

Yep.

unknown: 1:41:08

Come out.

SPEAKER_02: 1:41:09

Like we did for uh Meet Joe Black.

SPEAKER_07: 1:41:13

Yep. Oh, for it for episode one trailer?

SPEAKER_02: 1:41:15

Uh-huh. We showed up like 45 minutes. We showed up 45 minutes early. They let us in. We went in. We got to see it at the end of Meet Joe Black because the trailer the credits were playing when we walked in. Everybody just sat there. Nobody left. We all sat there for the half hour or whatever between the different showings, and then the next one showed came on, and then we all watched the trailer. The fucking place emptied out for like two hours while the movie was on. I think there was only like 10 of us watching the movie. That's funny. The movie went, we waited until the trail the credits came in. A bunch of people came in for the next showing, waited, watched it.

SPEAKER_07: 1:41:55

My recollection episode. Oh, the trailer premiered on like Entertainment Tonight. Um and I recorded it, and I watched it, and obviously remounded and watched it a bunch of times. And then there was a knock on my door, and it was Mormons. Uh this is Vegas, and it was Mormons, and I was like, hey, I will have no interest in this. However, the new episode one trailer came out. You guys want to watch it? So I had the two Mormons come in and we watched the trailer. I watched the trailer with that. That was pretty funny.

SPEAKER_02: 1:42:29

That was when I got a hug from the girl for uh I I said I wasn't gonna sign up for uh hyperspace unless she gave me a hug. We were a Comic Con. So I got a cheap hug. Wow.

SPEAKER_07: 1:42:41

I was gonna sell it anyways, but she she she is now an OnlyFans girl because if she's selling her body uh uh back then, then you're$9.99 a month. Right? Craziness. So yeah, maybe if I got nothing going on Tuesday and she doesn't want to watch it, I'll go check it out and then Sunday I'll report back, let you know how it was. Look forward to I can tell you all about it.

SPEAKER_01: 1:43:08

SPEAKER_07: 1:43:12

SPEAKER_02: 1:43:23

Wendy's or Taco Bell. Wendy's. Probably Wendy's, though. I think you might be right. Depends though. Sometimes I'm in a taco mood. And now they're not. They got the chicken, they got the chicken strips at Taco Bell and they got the nacho phrase.

SPEAKER_07: 1:43:38
