Oscars Debates, Road Trip Stories, And A Movie That Cannot Pick A Lane

The Oscars are over, the memes are already aging, and we’re still stuck on one question: how does a movie stack up wins for acting, screenplay, score, and cinematography yet miss Best Picture? We unpack the strange math of awards voting, the difference between “best” and “most rewatchable,” and which films we honestly think people will still talk about a decade from now. 

Then the conversation takes a hard left into real life. One of us is recording from a Northern California trip filled with classic vacation chaos like hills, one-way streets, and food stops, but the purpose is deeper: family time in Santa Cruz to spread Mom’s ashes under the wharf and let the ocean take it from there. We talk about what that moment feels like, how grief hides inside normal travel details, and why “closure” is never as clean as people pretend it is. 

From there we bounce through the rest of our pop culture brain: a rant about Lego “smart bricks,” the joy and sickness of chasing Xbox achievements, a review of The Bride and its tonal whiplash, comfort TV like 911, and curiosity about a Firefly animated series. We wrap with sports talk, including hockey frustrations and the Maxx Crosby trade drama that raises real questions about medical reviews and fairness across the league. 

If you like smart, messy conversations that swing between jokes and real stakes, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review. What’s your Best Picture pick and what’s the one movie you will rewatch forever?

Oscars Surprises And Best Picture

SPEAKER_02 0:31

Come on.

SPEAKER_03 0:34

You're not getting anything tonight, my friend. I don't know what's happening.

SPEAKER_01 0:37

Racist. Racist.

SPEAKER_03 0:41

It's wore out from the Oscars last night and all the people doing all the all the fun stuff.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

Yeah. I don't know nothing about no can't do my emojis. What's the point of even recording on my phone?

SPEAKER_03 0:57

I'm just gonna say, like, I really liked one battle after another, but was it better than Sinners? Which movie are we gonna be talking about 10, 15, 20 years from now? Like right? Like Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:11

That I don't know. But then also, how do you have the best actor, the best screenplay, the best score, the best cinematography, and you don't get the best picture?

SPEAKER_03 1:24

Yeah. So I think this happens like every like five to seven years, where somebody does like amazing, but then they like are like, oh well, this one group, it's almost like the voters like go, oh, I voted for all these other awards for them, so I feel bad giving them best picture. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 1:41

Like right, yeah, like how gritty do you need to be? Yeah. Like, are you even allowed to sweep the Oscars anymore? Yeah. So whatever. Well, I am very happy for Michael B. Jordan. Yeah. He seems like a good person. Yeah. He's a good actor. I think I've enjoyed everything he's been in. Agreed. Mostly because I haven't watched this Fantastic Four movie.

SPEAKER_03 2:03

He is not the worst part of the Fantastic Four movie. There's there's you want to talk about the opposite of uh cinematography and casting and uh screenplay and score.

SPEAKER_01 2:19

I guess it's okay to be the best part of a shitty movie.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

Yeah. He did not earn a uh a Rousey for that. Even though it was all the people saying he he'll win the Oscar for Stack, but get the Razzie for smoke.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

Like Well, there was um one meme I saw. Well, first it was real. When he plays smoke, he has dimples, but when he doesn't, he when he plays stack, it's not, right? And that wasn't makeup, that was just like him differentiating them. And then when he won, I think the NAACP award, he didn't have dimples, but when he won the SAG award, he did. So they're like smoke won the NAAC award, and stack won another one.

SPEAKER_03 3:03

So Michael B. Jordan's like evening out which twin wins the award or which twin shows up for the for the award ceremony.

SPEAKER_01 3:10

And then Michael B. Jordan got the Oscar. Yeah. And then he went to In N Out. Hell yeah. As one does. Okay, we just chill in there. Freaking Killmonger walks in there. Uh, can I get a double-double animal style?

unknown 3:27

Thanks.

SPEAKER_03 3:28

You know how many people probably go it's my friend Oscar. Well, you know how many people probably go and haunt fucking In N Out on Oscar night on all the in and outs around there to see like who's doing it this year. Yeah. Well, because they do it and then they go to whatever party they were gonna go to, right? Exactly. Because I I don't even I think there's even like a longer list of people who don't even go to the Oscars and just go to the after parties. Like you know.

SPEAKER_01 3:53

That's where the booze and drugs are. Mm-hmm. But I think what Sean Penn didn't go for his award. I will say he was good in that though.

SPEAKER_02 4:05

Yeah, he was the best part of one battle after another. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:16

Like I'll watch Sinners again. I don't think I'll watch one battle after another again. Nothing against that movie. But sometimes you watch a movie and it's one and done, right?

SPEAKER_02 4:25

Like it's still a good movie. Yeah. But more like one and done, right?

SPEAKER_03 4:32

Well, and if it's it's one of those, like, you know, you always like like we talk about with other movies where it's like if it if you're watching TNT on Sun Saturday afternoon and it's on, you know? Yeah, I'll leave it on. You're like, oh, I'll go wherever I'm at, I'm good watching whatever is left. Yeah. I'm not gonna change it. Yeah. But I'm not gonna go looking for it. Right. Where Sinners, I think I've watched Sinners at least two more times since I saw it the first time. Like so.

SPEAKER_01 5:03

Yeah, like I bought Sinners. I haven't bought one battle after another yet. So my oldest though, um she's a bit of a mini-me when it comes to movies. So like we talk about movies a lot. One of our friends is like, Sinners was the worst movie I've ever seen. I'm like, uh, how about we don't be friends with this guy anymore?

SPEAKER_03 5:29

Obviously, he's already talking with his penis, so we don't want it, we don't need we don't need anything to do with him anymore.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

But even still, Michael B. Jordan or Leo, I mean go Michael B. Jordan.

SPEAKER_03 5:43

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you've seen him in Creed.

SPEAKER_01 5:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:48

Yeah. And uh you could see uh Jonathan Majors. I'm too old for Leo anyways, so yeah, no shit. Um the stuff that I saw with Conan I thought was pretty good. Like I didn't sit and watch the whole thing, I just watched the highlights like afterwards.

SPEAKER_01 6:07

Oh, same, yeah. We were at Chili's last night during most of it eating with that my brother. Um, but yeah, no, we were just catching the highlights, and whenever IMDB posted the uh winner of whatever category, and I just put all the the the funny quips afterwards.

SPEAKER_03 6:23

His F1 joke made me laugh pretty hard. I think I saw that one. He said that uh F1 did well enough that they're gonna make it a sequel and it's gonna be named Capslock. Okay, fine, that was a good one. He's like, there's only a certain segment of this audience that's gonna understand that joke, but I'm okay with it.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

Um the new Leo meme was pretty good because they did start making memes of him already at the Oscars. That one was pretty good. Um Grogu and Segorney Weaver, that was good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

Um, what else? Yeah, Michael B.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

Jordan as the seat filler.

SPEAKER_01 7:07

Yes, that one was funny. And then um Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans fighting over um Tatum's thong from Magic Mike. And Tatum's like, uh, I need that back. And Robert Downing is like, why? He's like, I have to work tonight, obviously.

SPEAKER_03 7:31

Uh the Bridesmaid stuff was pretty funny. Uh I mean, all of them are funny anyways, so um, but yeah, I thought I mean Conan's makeup at the very beginning is nightmare fuel, like a hundred percent, but I mean it it made sense so but yeah. Overall, I mean I think it was an okay Oscars.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Like, I don't think I wasn't mad at anything.

SPEAKER_03 7:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:00

My daughter was mad that uh K-pop demon hunters won uh for best song. She thought Cinners should have also got that. But I'm like, I don't know. Golden was kind of a banger, it was everywhere.

SPEAKER_03 8:11

But the version that they performed at the Oscars of the Sinners song was that one I did.

SPEAKER_01 8:16

She sent me that as I'm like, I don't even know the song from Sinners, right? I'm like, do you know it? She's like, oh I'm like, exactly. But then she sent me that, and I was like, okay, that is a banger. But Golden was a banger, like worldwide phenomenon banger.

SPEAKER_03 8:31

So I mean that's kind of what made the K-pop demon hunters thing like have legs. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

Um, I don't think it should have got best animated though, because Zootopia 2 was way better. Um like I've actually watched that more. But I mean, I guess I'm not necessarily the audience for K-pop demon hunters.

SPEAKER_02 8:53

So that's fine. Whatever.

SPEAKER_03 8:58

Oh, now that we're eight and a half minutes in, uh, we can say Lou's not joining us tonight. So Lou uh might or might not be joining us this evening. We might be late. We'll see. We'll see. We're trying to wake him up.

SPEAKER_02 9:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:10

We're working on it. Trying to get him out of his slumber.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

We're not close enough to kiss him. Like a super beauty. So we're just rolling with two of us this evening, potentially. I think it's the first time we've done a podcast, just the two of us, right? No, second time, maybe?

SPEAKER_01 9:28

Like one time Lou was like sick and barfing or some shit.

SPEAKER_03 9:33

Something. And we just decided to push forward.

SPEAKER_01 9:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:39

But whatever.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:41

We'll make it through.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

We'll make it through without our wooden rabbit somehow.

Spring Break Drive Up The Coast

SPEAKER_03 9:45

Yeah. So welcome to the podcast. How are you doing? You're in the middle of your uh spring break hijinks.

SPEAKER_01 9:53

Yes. Um we're up. I am coming to you from stupid San Francisco with all their hills everywhere. One-way streets, and freaking Uber Eats drivers on motorcycles. Horribler. Horribl. But no, we got up to we left Saturday morning. And we were gonna go to Reno, but like last minute, like 10 o'clock at night, we'd like, eh. Let's just go up the other way. So we stopped in um Solvang. Um for those that don't know, it's this little Dutch town in like SoCal, like the northern part of SoCal. Um full of white people. Lou would love it. We had brunch, Lou would love it. Um but my wife's parents uh like did their honeymoon and stuff there, so like she's gone there a lot since she was little. So it's just one of those things.

SPEAKER_02 10:50

And actually, I think our second child was conceived there. I think. It was a long time ago.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

I mean it was probably the last time you had sex, so yes.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

Probably. Yeah. I'll have to check my diary and see.

SPEAKER_03 11:10

You'll have to check the scratches on the wall. Your activity board for that day and see.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

I have to get my my journal book out of the the full the file boxes in the garage. Like, ah yes.

SPEAKER_03 11:25

We'll put a star on that day.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

So yeah, so we got up um Sunday morning. Um we had brunch at one little cafes down there. For some reason, a lot of them didn't even open until like 10 or something. Or later. It's like a I think it was like legit a village. Like not a town, not a city. Yeah. I think it was legit a village. Yeah. But it's like a thirsty thing. Yeah. So we went to like bakeries and got like cookies and shit.

SPEAKER_02 11:58

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 12:00

Um because what else are you gonna do, right? Do you have a pastry that you get from Solvank? Um, I've only been there like this is only my third time there, so I don't have like any like favorites that I have to get.

SPEAKER_03 12:13

No anchors, no, like if we're here, I gotta get this.

SPEAKER_01 12:18

Well, we do get cookies. There's like most of the stores sell like little, like uh a bucket of shortbread cookies. Okay. So there's one bakery that we do go to and get that. So I guess there is something we always get when we go there. Um we got two because little one is a piggy, and I know she's gonna tear through them as soon as I give her the okay. She has like every five minutes. Surprised she hasn't come in here and asked for them, actually.

SPEAKER_03 12:45

Well, it hasn't really been 12 minutes, so I'm sure she's in the shower, so we should be okay. You got you got at least 20 minutes before. Yeah, at least.

SPEAKER_01 12:53

Um so yeah, so after that we packed up and came up to Santa Cruz, went to the the world-famous Santa Cruz boardwalk. No vampires. Bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 13:07

Mm-hmm. Um, but the carousel's there. That the vampires weren't on. Your video of Lost Boys Locations will be out uh later this week, then.

unknown 13:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:15

Lost Boys filming locations. With the thousands of other people that have done it.

SPEAKER_01 13:20

Um we met my brother there. Um, he came up too, and then um with the little uh my daughter, the little one, and my nephew just like going like little kitty rides and stuff. We just hung out and BS a little bit. Um then we went out to dinner, like I said, we were at Chili's during the Oscars. Um and then we went to our timeshare. Something dunes in Marina. It was like right on the beach, though. It was like a five-minute walk from the beach. Nice. It was pretty legit. And it was far enough from the sand that Lou would be okay with it.

SPEAKER_03 14:01

So far, it sounds like Lou really should have been on this vacation.

SPEAKER_01 14:04

He really should have. It's very been very white.

SPEAKER_03 14:07

Very white, very white, and a lot of girls in bikinis and very asphalty. Yes, yes. He would have had a lot of fun. All concrete. Because that is Santa Cruz boardwalk, it's just all concrete.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

I mean it is. Something has to support the roller coasters. Um bed, we got up. Um sorry, I'm getting travel plan updates. For the rest from the bathroom. From the bathroom.

SPEAKER_03 14:44

It's where I do my best planning, so come on.

SPEAKER_01 14:47

Obviously.

SPEAKER_03 14:49

It's where I can focus.

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Quiet time for me.

SPEAKER_03 14:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:54

You should know this by now, Jack. Uh so this morning we got up, um, we found another place to have brunch uh in Santa Cruz. Uh-huh. A lot of times when we travel, we like to do like places that uh guy hits up on diners, drive-ins, and dives. Because that's usually looks like some legit food, right? Sure.

SPEAKER_02 15:16

Um guy likes to eat, so you know. San Francisco tap water.

SPEAKER_03 15:25

It looks weird to see you drinking out of just a regular glass and not uh AMC cup or right. Right. Or my Picari. There's nothing trying to find. Yeah, it's weird. Are you going through withdrawals?

SPEAKER_01 15:38

I was plumbing it in my one-bedroom frickin' condo for the night while I'm on vacation. Um so it was pretty good. It was called the Santa Cruz Diner Cafe. Something like that. I got this burger called a Humdinger. And um, it was basically a barbecue bacon cheeseburger. Okay. But they put this big ass onion ring on top of the patty and just made a pool of barbecue sauce in it. I was like, alright, that's that's pretty legit.

SPEAKER_03 16:08

Hopefully you knew about it before you bit into it. I did, that's why I did it, because I saw the picture.

SPEAKER_01 16:13

I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_03 16:14

I'm expecting I don't know what's going on here. I expect there's a percentage of people who don't expect that, and then they get it and they take their first bite, and it's just fucking barbecue sauce everywhere, and they're like, what the and then they put pictures on the social media.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Yeah. And that's why you don't own a restaurant.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

We got Jack this Humdinger. He doesn't even know what it is.

SPEAKER_00 16:34

Let me get the You just got punked.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

You just got sauced.

SPEAKER_01 16:49

Um after that, we went to this place called the Cookie Factory. Again, you try the local shit, right? Like when you're traveling, you don't want to go to places that you can get at home. So um I've tried one of the cookies. It was just like a plain chocolate chip. It was pretty good. But I'm looking forward to the Snickerdoodle and the peanut butter chocolate chip.

SPEAKER_00 17:11

Those look pretty good.

Spreading Ashes In Santa Cruz

SPEAKER_03 17:13

After that, we so just to clarify, you're up at Santa Cruz for your mom.

SPEAKER_01 17:23

Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 17:24

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01 17:24

Um, to spread her ashes. Some of her ashes. Um then we went up to the Santa Cruz wharf, um, screwed off up there a little bit. Um then my aunt and my cousin met us. And then we went under the the wharf, the pier, dug a little hole, did the ashes, put some flowers and shit in there. And eventually the ocean will take her away. Right. Um so that was it was nice. Like the my youngest and uh my nephew dug the hole and stuff because they got to play in the sand at the beach, so um but it's weird, it's kind of like a finality to it. Yeah. Right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:10

I mean, it's something you've been dealing with for several years now. Yeah. Like on a weekly, if not daily, basis, it seems like.

SPEAKER_01 18:19

Uh actually it's only been just under a year, dude. Like she didn't get like really sick and helpless until um until May. It was right after we got back from um Japan. Japan, actually. Okay. We took her to see Thunderbolt. Yeah. No, yeah, it was May that she had her first fall and all of this really kind of started happening. Um but yeah, no, it was May until she passed at the end of December. So But yeah, I agree. It does seem like it's been a long time.

SPEAKER_03 18:55

Just very compressed. Like it's uh Yes. A lot happened in a short amount of time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Um, so we did that, and we went to go have um dinner with my aunt, my brother, my cousin. Yeah. And I haven't seen her in forever, dude. I don't know. Is she in LA or where's she at? No, she's up here. Okay. Town called Scotts Valley.

SPEAKER_03 19:23

Um Well, you haven't made your way to Northern California very much. Yeah, it's been a while.

SPEAKER_01 19:31

We've been up here like twice. Yeah. Um, but yeah. So it was nice to see her. Um, she's my only girl cousin.

SPEAKER_00 19:40

So it makes her weird.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

Um and then we just drove up here to San Francisco. We just got in, um, checked in. And yeah. So tomorrow I think we're gonna go to the Jelly Belly Factory. Nice. See how they make those delicious butter popcorn jelly beans that everybody goes. And get your free samples at the end.

SPEAKER_03 20:04

Yeah, yeah. I like how you have to pay for a lot of these tours and then they go, but you get free samples at the end. I'm like, no, that's not free, because I paid for the tour. Like, I'm paying for the jelly beans, is what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_01 20:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:17

I'm just proactive. I just happen to have to walk several hundred steps before I get to the jelly beans.

SPEAKER_01 20:23

And listen to you ramble on.

SPEAKER_03 20:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:27

About random shit about jelly beans.

SPEAKER_03 20:29

So, how long are you guys gonna be in San Fran?

SPEAKER_01 20:32

Um, we are coming home Thursday. Okay. So we're doing that tour tomorrow. Like I said, our plans just changed. We were gonna stay here for two nights, but I just got notification that we're staying somewhere else tomorrow night. So we're like being like rich poor people that change hotel rooms every night. Um but I mean, like, this place is nice. Um and if we were like walking and like staying downtown, it'd be better.

SPEAKER_03 21:04

Right.

SPEAKER_01 21:05

But I don't know. It it's nice, but it's not conducive to how we vacation, I think. Right. Is what I'm looking for. Um, so we're staying in another place. And if it's the same one I'm thinking about, it's like a legit apartment. It's like a good size. Because I think we stayed there last time we did this. Okay. Um, but we're also gonna go to the presidio.

unknown 21:31

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 21:31

We're gonna go to the Skywalker Ranch General store. Yeah. I'm gonna take my picture in front of the Yoda fountain. It's gonna be amazing.

SPEAKER_03 21:40

I have to find mine. I have one somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

I think you do. And if not, it could be in the um one of the celebration guides, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Um you made it, you made it to the program.

SPEAKER_03 21:57

Yeah, yeah. I uh yeah. I actually forever where Bo Bafett and all them were I don't think you I think you could take pictures through the windows on of them. Um but I don't think the lobby. I mean, maybe the lobby area is open. I don't know how it's laid out anymore.

SPEAKER_01 22:14

I know before you see how far I get before I get tased, bro.

SPEAKER_03 22:17

There you go. Yeah, you'll have to tell us next week.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

Are we doing the podcast from jail? Whatever.

SPEAKER_03 22:25

I what's the Wi-Fi password for the jail

SPEAKER_01 22:33

Please stop raping him. I'm trying to do a podcast here.

SPEAKER_03 22:36

Stop your screaming. Maybe shut up for 20 minutes. But no, that's cool. Is that and that'll be later this week then at some point.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Yeah, yeah. I think Wednesday is tentatively when it's planned. But if we're moving tomorrow, maybe it'll shift to tomorrow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:56

Might make more sense, especially if you have a gap between uh check out and check in. Yep. So we'll see, we'll see. Whatever. And then just uh next weekend is at home, like the rest of the room. It should be, yeah.

San Francisco Plans And Travel Logistics

SPEAKER_01 23:15

Yeah. Something. I think I told her target shopping spring. Oh boy. Because she's like a dragon dude. He just wants to have stuff. She doesn't really like anything. Yeah. She has like everything. Yeah. So I'm like, whatever. Just go on a target shopping spring. I do want to get her the Coraline Monster High Doll, but I totally spaced on it when it launched earlier this week. So that's my bad, and she'll just have to wait for that. Um yeah, then we'll find some time to watch the Ninja Turtles 2 re-release and then um Pride Tale Mary over the weekend.

SPEAKER_03 24:00

Yeah, the uh uh yesterday I met up with the girl that I'm hanging out with, and we had lunch, and it's this little outdoor mall with all like the frufu, like still has like a Lulu Mon store and all high-end stuff, and they have a Lego store there, so we went and I got to talk to her about the smart brick and how to stay away from them because they're just a giant ripoff and they're fucking bullshit. Like I've watched a few about the cantina. Well, she was like, Well, can I get the cantina without it? And I go, No, it fucking sucks. Like they came out with all this stuff that like that you can't buy, it does had hadn't been released that way either in a long time or ever. Yeah, and now they're like, oh well, and then there's a premium that's kind of bullshit. Like, I think how it was presented and then how it came out, like so. I mean, I think the idea's okay, but um but like just I don't know, getting one brick for 25 different things you gotta move it around to, like, eh, like yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:10

Well that um that lightsaber I built last week um can use it. Oh, okay. Because that's what it was for. It was supposed to like be a promo for the the smart brick. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:20

They didn't give us a smart brick, but they put you into the room with the$85 uh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:31

I mean it was inside the Lego store, so they're like, yeah, if you step over here and talk to Steve Dave, he'll help you out. Um and show you how the smart brick works, and then you can buy an$85 cantina.

SPEAKER_03 25:43

I'm like, let's not talk to Steve Dave. But I think you're uh I think your little and her little are about around the same age. I think he's nine. Yeah, she's about to be 11 this week. So but he's the same way. Like she's telling me that he's it's really hard to shop for him right now because he only likes the shit that his friends like. So like one week it'll be Star Wars, and the next week it'll be Harry Potter again, and then the week after that it'll just be Legos. And like now he wants to be an adult and he wants to put his Legos together and just put them up on a shelf. So I'm like, hey, there's these these other collector type sets that have stands and stuff. If you don't want to be if you don't want to be a silly boy anymore and you want to be a grown-up, like here's here's a 1200 piece, you know, uh Django Fett Starship, or whatever bullshit they're calling it these days, uh, you know, that has a s that has a stand that you can put it on, you know.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

Uh but oh yeah, yeah, so like fancy Legos that cost a lot of money and display.

SPEAKER_03 26:51

Yeah, so we walk in and she's like, oh, smart play. I'm like, nope, just go go this way. I'm like, here's the idea, here's what it sounds like. She's like, it sounds like shit. And I said, Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01 27:04

You know, like but the best part was when they um announced it, they had uh Oscar Isaac here and they turned the spear into uh the Death Star finally, so that was cool. Nice.

SPEAKER_03 27:17

Just they're they were getting prepared to do it for next year. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 27:22

After the uh when they put the sphere, put Star Wars at the sphere.

SPEAKER_03 27:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:26

And we all pay$150 a ticket with a smile on our face. Yeah. Twice. Yeah. At least.

SPEAKER_03 27:33

I like I had I not been aware of the sphere stuff before and saw that Metallica was gonna be there, I would have been like, oh cool, Metallica. But then since I was already aware of the sphere and the the process, I was like, eh, I'm good. Like I couldn't imagine going one night, much less two nights, right? Which is how their their concert sets are set up.

SPEAKER_01 28:01

Yeah, no replay weekend or yeah, it's like every week is a different show or something.

SPEAKER_03 28:05

Which is awesome. Like, well, every night, like you don't you just so every weekend both nights will be different sets. There's no crossover at all, which I think is super cool. I like that idea.

SPEAKER_01 28:15

Um for six hundred dollars a ticket, right?

SPEAKER_03 28:18

A night, like eat a dick. Like, sorry. Yeah, and I don't blame them. I mean, that's just the sphere. The sphere is fucking expensive. And guess what? They just get to hang out and live in Vegas for two months while you know, or fly home every I mean I think they're only doing weekend shows, right? They're only doing like two or four shows a week, so yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:46

Trouble.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

That's what happens when you do uh podcast on vacation.

unknown 28:52

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 28:53

You get a special guest that you're gonna have to blur out because you won't get her consent before.

SPEAKER_01 29:00

What one's a child?

SPEAKER_03 29:02

She came with the she came with the timeshare.

SPEAKER_01 29:05

Yeah, she lives here.

SPEAKER_03 29:13

But now I feel bad cursing, so it'll be this is weird. No, I know. I still feel weird about it though. Like she'll like she'll lip read yourself.

SPEAKER_01 29:25

Where are you feeling gum? Did you brush the keys already? That's why that's why this is filmed in the casino okay.

SPEAKER_03 29:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 29:35

I yeah. After we've parked them for the night. Um, you know what I did all week?

SPEAKER_05 29:54

We almost got it. We almost got it.

Chasing Xbox Achievements

SPEAKER_01 29:57

Yeah, but we're in California. We almost always get cars in California. Driving in California. Yep. Yeah. Um I've been completing some Xbox games lately. That's been entertaining.

SPEAKER_03 30:12

Um when you say completing, you mean achievements. Like hitting, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Getting your things.

SPEAKER_01 30:17

Uh what did I do? Yeah, so they added um a bunch to Assassin's Creed Mirage, which came out like two, three years ago. Uh-huh. And I was scrolling through, I'm like, the hell I finished this game. They're like, no, here you go. There's some more free achievements. I'm like, ugh, so I re-downloaded it. I had to start it. Not like all over again, but I had to remember how to play it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then um Big City Little Kitty. Everybody knows about Bob already.

SPEAKER_05 30:56

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 30:57

Bob's old news. Um, so you play this like black strike. Well, he's not a street. He fell out of his window. Uh. In Japan. So he has to figure out how to get back up there. Um, but no, it's a cute little drawn game. Um, so I finished all that. Um and then I always have like some shovelware games. It's by this studio called Rada Lakia or something. Okay. So they make like these stupid easy games. Sure. But people buy them because like every six months or so they'll add like a thousand achievement points. Okay. That take like 20 seconds to get. Yeah. And some people the you know, I don't know, associate with would will buy those games just because they get extra achievement points. So it's like a 5,000 point game. And you got it for like two bucks.

SPEAKER_03 31:50

So I mean, you always have that extra few Xbox points at the end of getting a card. So it makes sense. I mean you know, you gotta use you gotta use it on something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:00

I understand. Let Microsoft make money off of that interest. Yeah. I feel like I did another one too recently.

SPEAKER_00 32:12

No, I didn't start straight yet.

SPEAKER_05 32:14

Well, I think tell him you just did.

SPEAKER_00 32:18

He can hear you, you just can't hear him. No, you can talk to people all the time without them hearing you.

SPEAKER_05 32:35

Without me hearing.

SPEAKER_01 32:40

I do feel like there was another one that I finished. I don't remember what it was though. No, I was playing something before Big Kitty Little City.

SPEAKER_05 32:52

Slime Ranger 2.

SPEAKER_01 32:53

Yes, I finished Slime Rancher 2. Was that it? I think it was. Yeah, so well, it's been in like a beta pre-release for like a year or two. Uh-huh. And they just finally added the achievements to it. So like, okay, the game's finally done. Even though I played it like a long ass time ago. Um But like, okay, cool, now we'll add achievements. So I'm like, fine. But that one's fun too. I don't mind it.

SPEAKER_05 33:27

And you also played simulator wash.

SPEAKER_01 33:31

Yeah, we already talked about power wash simulator. Try to get Lou to play it, and he might. He might. He's not feeling too good.

SPEAKER_03 33:43

Boy he's got drama that he's gotta work through.

SPEAKER_01 33:47

He's got issues going on. This is the time or place to discuss his private business when he's not here. Yeah. Because as you know, we are worldwide. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 34:01

One place that we haven't been listened to yet is uh Antarctica.

SPEAKER_01 34:04

Yeah. Yeah. We already talked about that.

Road Trip Or Fly Debate

SPEAKER_02 34:09

Wait till the party.

SPEAKER_03 34:14

Um do you I so I guess one thing we never really talked about, and I mean maybe we could save we could save it for Lou, but like when you travel, are you a road tripper or do you prefer flying? Which way do you like to go?

SPEAKER_01 34:29

Um It depends on how far we're gone. Like California, we drove here, right? Um if we're going east coast, we'll fly and then drive. So like we'll fly somewhere and then rent a car and drive to where we need to go. Yeah. Like whenever we go to Florida, we get a car. Yeah. Well, now that you don't have the Disney Express anymore. Like Right. But it's again, it has to do with how we like to vacation, right? Yeah. Um we don't like being stuck with doing just the one thing, right? Right. Like, okay, cool, we're going to Florida, and we're gonna go to Disney World, and then that's all we can do. Right. Yeah, or like we want to eat something that's not Disney World, right? Or on property or adjacent type of thing. Exactly. So when we go when we travel, I like to eat places we don't have in Vegas, right? Right. So like when we go to or like well, that's because somebody we were eating dinner with doesn't have much of a palate, and chilies was the safest option. Otherwise, we would have been to this place down the street called Special Noodle and got some probably delicious Asian food.

SPEAKER_03 35:48

But he you shall be not be named.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

Yeah. Some of us like to try different foods, some of us don't. So but yeah, no, we like to eat. I mean, when we go to Florida, um, they have a melting pot there still.

SPEAKER_03 36:05

Yeah. So we do go there just because it's delicious. He likes his food like he likes his women. Plain and uninteresting. Got him.

SPEAKER_01 36:19

He doesn't listen to the podcast. Um yeah, it'll take we we probably just do stuff that we don't have. So like I said, we'll try to find the diners, drive-ins, and diners and stuff. There's melting pot in Portland. Just saying. See? Just saying. So you wouldn't go. Oh, wait, you're trying to get us to go to Portland because they have a melting pot. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:45

You won't come for me.

SPEAKER_01 36:47

You'll at least come for the pot. My wife says that they have spaghetti factory too, so we'll come for food. They do. We're like, Duke, we're in Portland to eat. If you want to join us, you are invited.

SPEAKER_03 36:58

Hey, if it it's totally fair for you to do that, because my family does the same bullshit, so it's fine. Have you ever eaten here? No, there's only one in Portland. Oh, yeah, it was really good. What? Wait a second.

SPEAKER_01 37:16

That's okay. My dad's come to Vegas a few times and just visited his wife's family. Yeah. And like I found out after the fact. I'm like, cool. Could have said hi. You know, senior grandkids or something.

SPEAKER_03 37:31

Atmosphere's pretty cool. How do you know that, Dad? Uh I drove by a couple times last week. Wait, what? Pretty much.

SPEAKER_01 37:39

Pretty much.

SPEAKER_03 37:40

I don't I feel like I gotta work on your dad's voice. I haven't done it in a long time. We used to do we used to do pretty good competing uh impressions of it, I think.

SPEAKER_01 37:49

Do you know where Portland Waterfront Park is? Yes. We have a timeshare there. There you go. See? We're on the way.

SPEAKER_03 37:56

All right. Just drive. It's fine. Just keep driving north, guys. It's fine.

SPEAKER_01 38:00

Just keep driving north. It's probably the same amount of time to get back home, so whatever. Yeah. Okay, what do you want to say?

SPEAKER_05 38:08

I gotta see my first girl cousin.

SPEAKER_01 38:12

First what? Nobody understood you because you're talking like a baby.

SPEAKER_05 38:19

I got to see my first girl cousin.

SPEAKER_01 38:23

Got to meet my girl cousin. It was very exciting for her.

SPEAKER_03 38:29

Exciting? Your second cousin, right? Yeah, it would be her second cousin, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:35

You ready for her name? Yeah. We don't use names.

SPEAKER_01 38:51

Good thing I brought my laptop so I can edit all of this.

SPEAKER_03 38:57

Podcast is gonna be 12 minutes of us just like, hey, I like traveling. Okay, goodbye.

unknown 39:03

No.

SPEAKER_01 39:06

You don't go to Canada, do you?

SPEAKER_03 39:08

Uh I mean I haven't been to Canada a long time, but I'd be open to it.

SPEAKER_01 39:12

Like not in a long time. But he's open to it. I guess we're road trip into Canada. Oh, alright. We'll pick you up on the way. Perfect. Sounds good. They gave us so like I said, we're in San Francisco, right? They gave us earplugs right next to the bed.

SPEAKER_03 39:37

Yeah. Are you guys by the freeway or something? No, it's on the street, dude. Oh, okay. But it's probably like a main thoroughfare. Yeah. That's nice though. I mean, like, at least you don't gotta ask for them. Like and people be dumb. They ain't bringing they don't put that in their kind of emergency travel kit.

SPEAKER_01 39:54

It even says, here are your complimentary earplugs.

SPEAKER_03 39:58

Nice. Quiet time is always within reach.

SPEAKER_00 40:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:07

So it's turning into a family podcast.

SPEAKER_01 40:10

Yeah, right. First time we had an audience.

The Bride Review And Tone Problems

SPEAKER_03 40:15

Yeah, huh? Like a live audience. Uh I did see the bride on Tuesday.

SPEAKER_01 40:24

Did you like it? I haven't we haven't watched it. Everybody said it's horrible. Or like unnecessary.

SPEAKER_03 40:33

So uh so I I went with my normal Tuesday night guys. Uh one of them didn't come, so it was just the two of us. And when the movie was over, the first thing I said was that movie was weird.

SPEAKER_02 40:47

Um the acting was great. Like the Christian Bale. The script was solid.

SPEAKER_03 40:57

But it couldn't decide what it wanted to be. And I think that's why people are saying it's horrible. Because it just didn't it didn't pick a pick a lane. It was like like this isn't necessarily really spoilers, because they kind of give the uh they talk about it in the trailer, but like the main character, they give the impression that there's some sort of kind of split personality or some sort of competing personalities going on in her head, right? Right. And that happens through like the first half of the movie, and then it just stops. But they don't like explain that like so it's Mary Shelley and this character, right? The main character. Um, but they don't explain like Mary Shelley took over the character or the character like became uh you know, uh it became like they merged together and now they're one type of thing. You know, like a lot of the movies that we watch, you know, when they have those types of things where it's the Hulk and Bruce Banner, and and then you have that scene where he's like, I'm you know, now I can control him, or you know, that type of thing. They didn't really have any of that. It was just kind of stopped. Right. Um, like half of it was a musical, and then it stopped being a musical. So like because it was like, oh, it's a m even even uh my friend was saying, I would have been down with it being a musical, just a random, you know. Yeah. Um let's go. So there was kind of a lot of those types of kind of creative choices that I think had they been consistent with it, or at least explained the story moving forward or why it did, you know, X, Y, and Z. Right. Like it would I think it would have been a better movie, but instead it was just very it was very like it was very all over the place. It was very like and not just like the story. The story actually was pretty consistent throughout. It was just the choices of the type of movie that it was going to be. Because then all of a sudden at some at a certain point it becomes like a female empowerment thing with like the Me Too and that type of stuff, which was interesting. And again, I get it from the person who directed it and kind of created the story, but and I think that each of those individual things could have been a good story to do, but it was so much stuff where it was very I I kind of felt like they were they were playing jacks, so they would just occasionally drop the ball on the ground and they'd pick up the jacks that all kind of told them what the type of movie they were gonna do, and then 20 minutes later they drop the ball again, put the jacks on the ground, and pick up other ones. Um I think that's a pretty good metaphor for kind of how it was.

SPEAKER_01 43:54

So the next great San Francisco earthquake. I'm here for it. Nice.

SPEAKER_03 44:04

Make sure to hit publish before you die. But yeah, so I mean, I'm not gonna say it was a bad movie because there were good aspects about it. Like all the people who were in it, I mean, and that and it had like a banger cast, like the girl who won the Oscar last night, uh Christian Baker. Um Peter Star's girl. Uh Penelope Cruz, uh Annette Benning, like just you know, so I mean the cast was really good and they all acted their asses off, but I think the tone just was never consistent at all. Um so I think that was the part that I think a lot of people are gonna have problems with, is that it just wasn't uh because I think people like to know what to expect when they go into a movie, and this one definitely I can see that this one definitely did not adhere to that rule. Yeah, I was just hoping that it'd be like a Bonnie and Clyde movie with Frankenstein. And there was some of that, you know, that was kind of what they gave away in the or what they said in the trailer, but it took him like an hour and a half to get there type of thing.

SPEAKER_01 45:17

So I'll be interested to see what Lou saw because I think he watched it too. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:23

I'm guessing he's probably gonna think it was pretty bad, but maybe people in it for him. Um I don't think it's one of those ones he hates it because he has to watch it again to understand it or something, like because it's not I think both of us had decided kind of like when we went and saw the Joker years ago, we were like, you know what, we're good. Like we don't need to see this again.

SPEAKER_02 45:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:48

Like um, so there you go. There's my two cents. It's not a terrible movie, it just I think it did have some tonal problems that that keep it from being better, right?

SPEAKER_02 46:02

Right.

Comfort TV And Firefly Returns

SPEAKER_01 46:03

So well, there you go, Maggie. There's there's your notes from from the experts that's vaguely inconsistent. There you go. Done. Get your shit together. Um let's see, what else? What else? Um no, we've just been catching up on TV. Um now that we finished Bridgerton. Started catching up on regular TV, like 911. I always get made fun of when I tell people I watch that at work. But like I just like the silly drama. Um I don't know how Jennifer Leaf Hewitt's the only dispatcher in frickin' LA, but you know. And why she tells everybody her name. Like, hey Bob, this is Maddie. How can I help you? No, don't tell me telling people your name, woman. If you do, use a fake name. Yeah. Like a 900 operator. Hey, Bob, this is Trixie. I work at 911.

SPEAKER_03 47:00

You've called it 1-900-911-9111. How are you? I just drove my car into a lake. Oh, that's hot.

SPEAKER_01 47:13

Oh, wait, wait, wait, that's my other job.

SPEAKER_03 47:17

But I'm sure for you, it um it's like uh you're probably like torn because it's just so silly and crazy, but then you're also kind of like, uh, like not really like still could happen.

SPEAKER_01 47:35

You know what I mean? It's not all unbelievable.

SPEAKER_03 47:39

Like I always feel like those types of shows, like the initial call isn't crazy, and then they're like, oh well now we have to like now the car is hanging off of a cliff even though it was on a bridge, and like you know, it's no without when they actually do call in weird things, like the B NATO.

SPEAKER_01 47:57

It was like a B tornado. It was weird. But yeah, no, you're right. Sometimes it's especially like when they set it up. Um she it's like, oh 911, uh, my dad just died. And then they like cut to the firefighters, the only firefighters that work in all of LA. Yeah, of course. And like he died because he fell off a roof and did like a triple back salt onto a fence post that was being unloaded by the landscapers. It's all very final destination-y usually described. Yeah. One time I think like uh a volcano erupted in LA and like all these kids boiled in the swimming pool or something. And like they tried to reach their friend and pull him out, but he like de-gloved his hand or something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:53

Like, ew.

SPEAKER_01 48:56

And then you switch to the pit with the actually shows everything. Yeah. And you're like one's pretty tame here.

SPEAKER_03 49:05

So 911 is kind of your cleanser after watching. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 49:11

Like my eyeballs are so gloomy. I need to see Clean Fun on Fox.

SPEAKER_03 49:18

I need to see Jennifer Love Hewitt again, the Ghost Whisperer. Um I guess the big announcement that they've been building up to is that there's going to be a Firefly animated series. Any interest in that? Yeah, I've been seeing like stuff here and there.

SPEAKER_01 49:36

I I've never watched Firefly. Really? Take away my geek card. I've never watched it. Um I know a lot about it just because it's pop culture, but like sat down and watched it. Nope.

SPEAKER_03 49:48

Well, we'll have to fix that at some point. Um the only reason I watched it, I didn't watch it when it first came out. I watched it like several years later, right after like long, long rambling story, but like I had a friend of a friend who bought like a giant projector for his living room, and he had one of those like big back uh backlit uh projection TVs, and he was like, Do you want this? And it probably weighed 500 pounds. It was one of those ones where like you took the screen off and then took the top off, and all the electronics and stuff were in the base, and it probably weighed 500 pounds, and he was like, I'll sell it to you for like 500 bucks, and I was like, Okay. Mind you, then I moved like a half a dozen times, and every single time we had to move it, it fucking sucked. But it was one of those, like I moved and then like had gotten like the fancy cable box that had HD and everything, and I was like, Oh, and had gotten, you know, they at the time all the different movie channel, all the different movie studios had like were featuring like their high def content on like a special channel, and this was like universal, like and they had like a marathon of it over a weekend, and so I like watched all of them in high def over a weekend, which was pretty uh but yeah, which was a cell at the time, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:19

So I thought it wasn't even tied to my belt.

SPEAKER_03 51:22

But yeah, I mean it was good. It was, you know. Did you ever see the movie? Or did you're not you're just wow.

SPEAKER_01 51:29

I haven't watched any of it, dude.

SPEAKER_03 51:31

Okay. Any of it. You'll fall in love with Nathan Fillion again.

SPEAKER_01 51:36

Yes. Who doesn't? Exactly. Um yeah, no, like it's always been on the list, but it's like, well, now this is coming out. Now this is coming out. Yeah. I gotta stay hip with the youngins. I can't go back and But it was only like one season, right? One season in a movie. Correct. I'm sure it's not that long.

SPEAKER_03 51:59

Yeah, I mean it's I think it's like uh how many episodes? Um you could probably even watch it on the way home. Right. There are 14 in total.

SPEAKER_02 52:16

Oh, alright.

SPEAKER_03 52:18

It was originally 11 episodes. Damn, 20 2002, man. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_01 52:28

We're just babies then. Yeah, 24 years ago? Ugh. We didn't watch it together though.

SPEAKER_03 52:36

Yeah. I think it was right after we after we uh moved out from like had we lived together for like six more months or whatever, I think we probably would have. So but you know, is what it is.

SPEAKER_01 52:52

Whatever.

SPEAKER_02 52:53

Yeah.

unknown 52:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 52:55

I think if we were living together, we definitely it was definitely some. Was that one more time?

SPEAKER_01 53:08

Like when we go to Florida for our summer cruise.

SPEAKER_02 53:12

Maybe I'll watch it then.

SPEAKER_03 53:15

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because uh I think I I have it on the plex. I gotta I don't know where we I can look up and see where it's streaming.

SPEAKER_01 53:24

Um I'm sure it's somewhere. Hulu probably. Seems like something Fox will own.

SPEAKER_02 53:32

Um sorry. And we're fine. You're fine.

SPEAKER_03 53:44

But it's one of those I think it's one of those weird ones where it's been like on every streaming service at some point.

SPEAKER_01 53:51

So it's like we were talking about last week, like the studio that made it is like Warner Brothers, but Fox aired it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 54:00

Weird stuff like that. Weird licensing complications and shit. Yeah. But yeah, beyond that, it was a pretty quiet week. Had a uh like a just had a like pseudo birthday party, but they don't they don't celebrate their birthday, so it was just like uh the Jehovah's Witnesses? Yeah no, they uh it's uh friends who like have a condo and they converted like their dining room area and part of their bar, and so they were celebrating that. So I went and did that. Um which was fine. There seemed to be a lot less people than normal, so that made it a lot easier. Um socialized sometimes, especially when you're in like a small space like that. Like uh I like that the camera's following you too. I thought you were adjusting it. Are you adjusting it? No, it isn't me. It isn't me. Okay. I was like that fancy. I was like, wow, this software's pretty cool that it's actually following you.

unknown 55:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:06

I'll have it on my uh charging stand. Ah.

SPEAKER_02 55:11

Um so yeah, it was just, you know, easy peasy.

Feeling Off And Weekly Reset

SPEAKER_03 55:19

Uh but yeah, besides that, like I said, I was just kind of out of it. I woke up today, it was weird. I woke up today and like you know when you don't it's like you don't feel good, but you don't necessarily feel bad. Does that make sense? Yeah, like it wasn't like I felt sick, but I was also like eh. Like yeah. So that was that was today.

SPEAKER_01 55:42

A little depression hitting you, and you're just like, meh.

SPEAKER_03 55:45

Yeah. So last night when uh when when you were like, I don't know if I can do the pot, I'm like, I'm okay with this.

SPEAKER_01 55:54

Uh but you know what I could have, we got there, I was like, oh, I could. Yeah, we got home just in time that I could have done it. NBD though. NBD. We're still getting it done. So exactly. Um we're currently consistent and vaguely inconsistent.

SPEAKER_03 56:14

Yes, trying to. Um yeah, besides that, I mean we don't even really have any sports or anything to talk about right now. Right. Like I don't know I mean, I'm pseudo kind of looking at the world uh world baseball classic, but not I mean, the US is still in it, so good on them. I know spring training's ending soon. Where are we we're in we're getting towards the tail end of basketball? I think so, yeah. Um and then we have soccer just started, and then hockey.

SPEAKER_01 56:48

Hockey is gonna wrap up soonish.

SPEAKER_03 56:50

Hockey will be wrapped up soon-ish?

SPEAKER_01 56:52

Soonish, yeah. It's usually in May. May June. Okay. Probably later because of the the Olympics, put them on hold for a couple weeks. Ah. Probably June.

SPEAKER_03 57:05

Because you guys haven't really talked about that a whole lot. I mean, you talked about it during the time.

SPEAKER_01 57:09

That's because the knights have been sucking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 57:12

How come? Like, why I mean uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 57:14

They just like ever since the Olympics um ended, like they came back from the Olympics, and a bunch of their guys were on the American team, they won gold medals, but they lost six out of the like seven games. Wow. They just barely started winning the last couple games, so but we're still number two in our division fighting the ducks for that. Like we knocked the ducks down, then they play the game, so they're back up, so yeah. Whatever. Uh I saw the men's Paralympic hockey team won gold over Canada. Canada's having a rough goal of it since yeah.

Maxx Crosby Trade Fallout

SPEAKER_03 57:56

Sorry. Um what's uh what's your two cents on the whole Max Crosby thing? Are you happy he's back as a raider? Are you is it weird now because like they technically raided him and then like hey, if he's okay with it, I mean right?

SPEAKER_01 58:13

So but no, that's cool. Like they still it's not like they they were freeing up cap space, but they didn't spend so much that they couldn't take him back. Right.

SPEAKER_03 58:24

Yeah, because that would have been weird, because that would have complicated things.

SPEAKER_01 58:27

I think pulled he's out and now we're over cap. So I mean good for them, you know, like they but it's kind of a bitch move on the Ravens. You knew he wasn't gonna be good. Bro just had knee surgery in what February when the season was over. Yeah. It's March. Yeah. It's gonna take him months to recover from that. Yeah. And he has like world-class physicians and physical therapists, so he's getting better as fast as he can, but he still wasn't gonna be ready until the beginning of the season. Yeah. Yeah, at least that was kind of a bitch move on them. I think that everybody's right when they say that the Ravens had buyer's remorse. Yeah. 100%.

SPEAKER_03 59:09

That they were just excited to get the new toy, but then they got the toy and then they realized, oh shit.

SPEAKER_01 59:14

They're like, uh, we like actually have to put work into this and put it together. Yeah. But whatever. Gonna suck for them when now he's gonna be pissed off when they play him. Mm-hmm and tackle the shit out of him. Like, bam, how's my knee now, bitches?

SPEAKER_03 59:31

But I mean, I think I mean they still say Trey Hendrickson, so I mean, it wasn't like they ended up with nothing. But yeah. Yeah. I feel like there should be some sort of penalty. Like, I don't know. For that type of stuff, though, I feel like there needs to be some sort of penalty or something. Like Yeah. I agree.

SPEAKER_01 59:52

Because what if they did? What if they did go and spend over cap, right? Yeah. Based on the Ravens taking them, right? So now what? Now the Raiders have to be punished because these guys got cold feet? Yeah. That wouldn't be cool.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:06

Almost like there, I almost feel like there needs to be like a um like a non-biased medical panel or something. You know what I'm saying? Like there just needs to be like an NFL Yeah, you know, like a baseline medical exam or or situation where like then the because then the NFL could step in and be like, actually, he's fine. You need to go through with this and execute this trade. Because yeah, I mean, there was a lot of yeah, a lot of people.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:36

Obviously, Max's guys are going to be like the Raiders, like, yeah, no, he's fucking fine. He'll be good by the beginning of the season. Yeah. So the Ravens guys are like, eh, I don't know, maybe. But yeah, no, maybe they do need like an impartial third party.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:48

Um because I mean, I I mean that screwed a bunch of other teams over, too, as far as what their plans were. Like this isn't this isn't like just a Raiders and Ravens thing, right? I mean, a lot of teams are like, you know, what if the Raiders would have traded one of those first round picks for something else down the road at in that window of time, right? Like, yeah. Um I mean, I would like the Cowboys.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:11

We were still in like the legally tampering period, the legal tampering period, but um yeah, like uh other people wanted Max too, so like now they got screwed out of their trades.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:22

Yeah. Well, and again, if they're like you said, if the Raiders would have been over the cap because they went and it did some big splashing moves, or if they would have traded that pick and something else to somebody else, you know, and now that you know, for some for uh I don't know, whatever an offensive lineman or a wide receiver or something like that, right? Like um that that it would have yeah, but like people were saying, they were like, hey, so the Raiders made a bunch of moves this week and they got Max Crosby.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:59

That one was good.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:00

That was a good one.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:03

Um but yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:06

Besides that, yeah, same with any will. Well, I think we'll have Project Hail Mary to talk about next week. Maybe we're gonna go this weekend for sure.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:15

So Project Hail Mary and I'll uh yeah, I can we can I can try to see that by Sunday.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:23

So but I guess that's it.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:29

Yeah. Well, it's just because I ramble a little bit. He He rants. Yeah. The uh But it makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:42

Each of us get to talk for half an hour, Lou's not here, so we're only at an hour. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:46

Yeah, it's funny. My uh the girl I'm seeing is like uh Lou needs to become a sports guy, like talk like a become like a Jim Rome or uh Scotty Pharrell or something like that. Because she's like, he's really good when he's talking about sports. He should do that full time. And then after today, I'm like maybe he should. Maybe he should.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:10

I'm sure that uh Denver radio can use him on the sports channels.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:13

Oh, geez. The number one black sportscaster in Denver, the only black sportscaster in Denver.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:22

And he hates the Broncos.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:24

And he hates yeah, he hates all of the uh he hates all of the Colorado teams.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:31

But then they start listening to him and getting good. Like, you know what, Lou said this on his show today. Maybe we need to adjust some things.

Next Movies On The Calendar

SPEAKER_03 1:03:39

He can uh he can do a bookend. He'll start out as he'll do his sports his weekly sports radio show and then do like a collectibles collector show at the end of the week. But there you go, no opportunities. Project Hail Mary, maybe ready or not to. That might be our Tuesday. That might be my Tuesday movie. Uh and then next week you guys will have on Monday.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:03

On Monday, we have uh a secret movie. Um 99% sure it's uh they will kill you. Which looks good. So yes. Looks ridiculously violent.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:15

Yes. We're getting a couple of those this next month. Ready or not to, and then oh, I did see this is not a test, which was a shutter zombie horror movie. It was okay, not enough zombies, not enough uh it was more of a teenage, it was like a group of teenagers who uh hide out basically in the high school, and then kind of the drama around that. But the drama was all kind of ham-fisted and like um so it was okay. I probably I would not watch. I was I was excited because of the trailer, but the movie definitely just took the trailer and just stretched it out with a bunch and filled in, had a bunch of filler in between the stuff in the trailer, which is good stuff. Yeah, like you saw all the good stuff in the trailer, and yeah.

Star Wars Talk And Hot Takes

SPEAKER_01 1:05:08

Um but uh you watched the the new mall trailer?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:13

Uh yeah. Oh god Darth Talon.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:17

Yeah, yeah. Right? I guess he really is gonna change her into her.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:20

That's I mean, that's what everybody uh that's what everybody's been saying, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:25

Is that now, you know, then once we get Darth Talon, that means we're gonna get Cade Skywalker. Right? Because I mean, that's the only reason we know Darth Talon is because of legacy, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:38

Oh man, that would be something if like they she got frozen or something, or yeah, and she went into the future and that was something that happened.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:46

But again, Twilight's also, we don't know their timeline as far as that gauge and stuff, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:51

Like I mean, Beb Fortuna was in episode one. He didn't die until way after episode five, so or episode six, yeah. So he was killed, so yeah. So but then also Hera, she's around during the uh New Republic and she was a baby in Clone Wars and Rebels, so Yeah. I don't know, maybe.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:14

Yeah, we'll have to we'll have to do some we'll have to do some investigation. We'll have to go find out what the Star Wars Explains guy says, because he knows where's Pablo Hidalgo. Oh, Pablo. I follow him on Blue Sky, he's still funny. Every once in a while he'll He'll uh he'll say some shit and he's just like ah everyone's gonna get mad if I have this opinion He said something let me see real quick before we there was one thing that he said uh in the last let's see Pablo Pablo il doggo um what did he say son of a bitch he deleted it already I know huh he said nope oh my tepid firefly take when it was on was if everybody's Han Solo no one's Han Solo True I mean if you were yeah I I don't disagree with that it didn't bother me but yes like it's definitely a fair take I think that you know the Firefly definitely made everybody a hero, right? Like alright so I guess go into that as a as a as a negative, right? Like or at least something to be aware of, right? That that you know they're they're very everybody there's no hierarchy among the crew, if that makes sense. So they all have heroes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's definitely not I mean they have a hierarchy, but it's not adhered to as far as story and stuff goes, if that makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:02

Okay, I gotcha.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:04

So but yeah, so there you go. He's still setting off fire takes even years after not being part of uh Lucasfilm anymore. That poor guy, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:14

Is he not there anymore?

SPEAKER_03 1:08:16

Uh oh, he might still be there. Yeah, because um he's just not as uh vocal as he used to be.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:22

He's not as yeah, he's not as public. But um, yeah, Home Girl that did um um that show nobody liked.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:32

Accolade. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:34

Um she said the she checked with Pablo before putting Tiati Mundi in it.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:42

You're chasing angry hallucinations created by grifters who make money off your rage. Wow, where's Lou? Damn it. But yeah, so I I actually I guess he does still work at Lucasfilm, so good for him.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:01

Maybe I'll see him this week. Maybe do say hi. Oh well.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:05

Be like ten years ago, I said fuck you, Pablo, but now I like you again.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:09

Yeah, now I like you. You said stuff I don't like, but now I do.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:15

You said stuff I didn't like, but I respected. Because back then I wasn't mature enough to be able to handle other people's opinions that differed from mine, especially when it came to Star Wars.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:27

Yeah, because my opinions are the only ones that matter.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:30

Exactly. I well, no, my opinions were right. That's the problem.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:34

It's weird. It's weird when your opinion is always the right opinion.

Wrap-Up And Sign-Off

SPEAKER_02 1:09:38

Yeah, it was weird.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:43

But all right, so well, enjoy the rest of you.

And I'm like, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, you're sending us these pictures, we're like, hook me up, and then you're like, I can't.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:16

And it's like, wait, I'm not anywhere near there. Maybe we'll have him at the Skywalker store.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:25

But yeah, you let me know. We'll be uh we'll be in chat. All right, otherwise, thanks for listening, and uh hopefully we'll be uh fully created next week. That's full power.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:36

Full power to stop us. So bye. Peace. No hard. See ya. Wait, we'll have to figure that out. Just we'll figure that out for the next one. Goodbye. Bye bye.
