Rocky Plushies Candy Corn Penises And Other Serious Topics

Project Hail Mary had us walking in with sky high expectations and walking out arguing about what makes a sci fi movie actually stick. We start with a spoiler warning, then get into the stuff movie fans care about: opening weekend box office, whether the story feels predictable, and why the humor and pacing keep the “save humanity” stakes from turning into a lecture. We also spend time on the real standouts like Rocky, the editing that jumps across timelines without getting messy, and the performances that make the science feel human.

Then we veer into the kind of real life side quests that make a podcast feel like hanging out with friends. The trip recap runs through San Francisco logistics, the Presidio Yoda fountain, a Skywalker Ranch general store stop, Pier 39, and the ongoing truth that parking garages are designed by villains. From there it’s Jelly Belly factory energy, a candy corn argument nobody asked for, and a surprisingly great Charles M. Schulz museum story that turns Peanuts history into a full on art preservation rabbit hole.

We bring it back to peak fandom with Star Wars Night at a minor league hockey game, including themed intros, trivia chaos, and the joy of a good giveaway. The back stretch hits cloud gaming, finishing Peppa Pig for achievements, and the collector brain behind hunting Grogu Doorables, before we close with trailer talk, job search reality, and why sports radio might be Lew’s calling. If you like movie reviews, sci fi, Star Wars, pop culture collecting, and NFL draft theory, you’re in the right place. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review telling us your Project Hail Mary take.

poiler Warning And First Reactions

SPEAKER_02 0:39

And we hello everybody. Hello everybody. I hate Mark.

SPEAKER_03 0:46

Heads up, there's gonna be some uh Project Hell Mary spoilers in this one. Let's throw it out there in the beginning.

SPEAKER_01 0:55

Well really, what's wrong with you if you didn't go see it?

SPEAKER_02 0:57

That's like the most exciting trailer that we've had all year. How to do in the box office. That's what I want. I could tell you in a second.

SPEAKER_01 1:07

Do we want to talk you guys want to start talking about it while I look it up? Um, show. We went on Friday after no, Friday morning. Um I liked it.

SPEAKER_03 1:22

By the time you were done, it was Friday evening.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

There's nothing wrong with Ryan Gospel.

SPEAKER_02 1:26

For real, though.

SPEAKER_01 1:32

But no, like I told you guys in the textbook, it was as good as the trailer thought it would be. Like sometimes you watch the trailer, you're like, yeah, that's gonna be good. I think you watch the movie, you're like, eh, it was alright. Well, and or because all the good stuff was put in the trailer. Yes, which was not the case in this movie.

SPEAKER_02 1:49

Or stuff in the trailer wasn't put in the movie. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

You saw everything in the trailer that and the movie come like so. Um Box Office Mojo says this is the biggest weekend of the year so far for movies.

unknown 2:08

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 2:09

Total$136 million, which beat the first week of the year at$126.

SPEAKER_03 2:16

That's all movies do become characteristics. Well, yeah, that's total movies.

SPEAKER_01 2:21

What did this hail Mary Project Hail Mary made$80 million this weekend?

SPEAKER_02 2:27

Domestic or worldwide?

SPEAKER_01 2:30

Domestic.

SPEAKER_02 2:31

Okay. That's a good number.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

Um considering it's March. They don't um I guess international might be. International breaks it down by country, though. If you just do worldwide, like uh let me see if I can find it.

SPEAKER_03 2:46

Yeah, you do worldwide and subtract 80 million. We'll see what the rest of the year is.

SPEAKER_01 2:50

Roger Hail Mary Worldwide made$140 million this weekend.

SPEAKER_03 2:54

Alright. So 60 international, 80 domestic. And it probably hasn't opened in all regions yet. Because for whatever reason they like they like doing that where they don't all open at the same time, which I don't get.

ox Office Numbers And Rocky Hype

SPEAKER_02 3:06

Me neither. Me neither. So uh Lou was funny. Go ahead, um Rocky was hilarious. It ended well. Um I liked it. I want to pet Rocky now.

SPEAKER_01 3:27

Yeah. My friend said uh that I saw with today said Grogu's gonna have some competition this year at the box office.

SPEAKER_03 3:37

I don't know. Those people still think that movie is gonna do well?

SPEAKER_01 3:43

No, I'm just talking about Grogu. I'm not talking about the movie. I'm talking about when Christmas rolls around. How many people are looking for those rocky to Rocky toys?

SPEAKER_02 3:54

Nah, man. That's nine months away. Oh, the world, the Earth. Yeah. The volcano.

SPEAKER_03 4:04

What is it? Lava?

SPEAKER_01 4:06

So you can fist his bump. The lava ball, yeah. So you can fist his bump.

SPEAKER_03 4:10

A lava ball to fist some bumps. Um, I thought it was good. Uh it was it's kind of funny. About halfway, not even halfway, the movie's so long. About 40 minutes into it, 45 minutes into it, I was all like, this movie reminds me of the Martian. Uh and it was like, oh yeah, same author.

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Really? Yeah, why would it have reminded you of the Martian? Hey, you know what? I was watching Return of the King, and I was like, this is a lot like Lord of the Rings. It's weird. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 4:41

It's like the same author wrote both. It's wild.

unknown 4:46

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

Yeah, I know. I like, but I do like that the author brings in scientists to help get his shit straight, so that's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_02 4:57

I loved it.

SPEAKER_03 4:59

I thought I thought I saw what was coming. Like some of this stuff was super predictable. I was like, oh, this has to turn out this way, or they wouldn't have brought that up. Like, oh, this has to turn out this way, or they wouldn't have brought that up. Um so the ending and all that, and how that was gonna, he was gonna end up where he ended up and all that. I was like, yep, saw that coming. Why would they why would they mention the the satellite, the pods, the probes, whatever? There would be no point to mention that at all unless they're gonna be used. So the only way they could be used is if this happened.

SPEAKER_01 5:28

So that was the original plan. The original plan was for him to use the probes.

SPEAKER_03 5:33

Well, I I I know, I know. The point is they wouldn't have like we don't need that information. We don't really care. You know, it's like that that could be something in just just throw a throwaway line type thing. But they made a point to focus on that just a little longer than they had to, which means they would have had to be used, especially now that was the first idea, but then once they figured out that he could go back, it was like, well, there's no way they wouldn't then they wouldn't have brought up the probe issue if if that's the case. So he's not going back. So that part was like, okay, that's predictable. Um I watched too many movies. Uh and it's like, all right, cool.

SPEAKER_01 6:12

Honestly, though, one of us here has a lot of free time.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Well one of us. Not sure which one, but one of us.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

Um but you figure it out.

SPEAKER_03 6:23

Yeah, put put your guess in the comments.

SPEAKER_01 6:26

Uh we'll put up a poll. Yeah. Only one of us has time to binge watch an entire season of Deep Space Nine in one day, and I'm we'll just uh, how long was that?

SPEAKER_03 6:43

It was like, yeah, it's at least two days. I mean, we're talking like 100 and something episodes. That's that's at least two days. Um but yeah, absolutely loved it. I but I I'm with you, Jack. Partway through, I'm all like, I wonder if they're gonna have Rocky plushies. I want a Rocky plushie.

SPEAKER_01 7:00

They do.

SPEAKER_03 7:01

Oh, do they really? Oh my god. Yeah, that's funny.

SPEAKER_01 7:04

And then I think uh Cinemark is selling shoulder buddies.

SPEAKER_03 7:08

Okay. Shoulder buddy would be cool. Uh I know, I I would kind of want the legs for lack of a better word, for because I don't know what they're called in in his species, but uh like magnetic or something. That would be kind of cool. Exactly. Adrian.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

Do you mean uh Lou, do you mean articulated so you could like move them? Well have him.

redictable Plot Versus Great Execution

SPEAKER_03 7:31

Sort sort of, because I I think I think more magnetic than I want him to be able to come apart because he looks like he's not connected, the legs aren't connected to the body. If you look at him, I didn't I couldn't tell if they were, you know, like no joints or anything like it. It looked like it was just here's a piece, here's a piece, and they're next to each other, but not actually tendons or like that, whatever rock tendons would be. So I would want it to be magnetic to have that more movie style look to it, where you know, because if if you have a plushie, obviously it'll be sewn together, right? And you're gonna have the seam where the where the quote unquote legs are. I I would want I mean that's fine, that's acceptable, but I would prefer something that's the more magnetic, so it looks more like the figure. That's all that's just a design issue for me.

SPEAKER_01 8:18

Sideshow's got you. Mondo will get you.

SPEAKER_03 8:21

Yeah, yeah, one of them will for sure. For sure. They'll make sure it's like that and there's no seams and stuff like that. But but yeah, the movie movie was movie was really good. I I love the editing going back and forth between uh future and past or present past, however you want to look at it. But the the how he got to where he was and the whole thing. I mean, that it was well done, well acted. Um the the doctor lady who was in charge of everything was fantastic. Uh loved her in it.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

So she's great in everything that she's in.

SPEAKER_03 8:56

She did a great job. That is true though. She really is good. Um and all of a sudden, I don't okay, there we go.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

Like all of a sudden, they acting together. This is their second movie together.

SPEAKER_02 9:06

I don't know what's going on. Because they started drive together.

SPEAKER_01 9:13

Carrie Mulligan's great, she's a great actress. Very, very underrated, in my opinion. Drive. Drive. Driver? Drive. Nope, drive. Just drive. Drive. But he was driver. He was the driver, I think, was his name. He never actually had a name. Oh, and Lou's gone. And Lou left us. Rude.

SPEAKER_02 9:36

Fucking around with stuff.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

What do we do now? We've already talked to each other last week with just the two of us. Ah two weeks in a row with just the two of us.

SPEAKER_02 9:50

What? You're all welcome. Dropping dead weight. We're getting rid of our DEI requirements. Come on, I think Lou will appreciate that joke. He will, he will.

SPEAKER_01 10:14

The government no more longer mandates it. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 10:19

We've laid off our D E I H R part of the department and uh Riverside's finally like, get rid of him, we can, yay.

SPEAKER_01 10:39

I mean, I wouldn't share my thoughts, but I feel like now he's gonna miss out, so I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 10:44

What's he saying? Unstable internet. Unstable internet. Snowstorms lizards. Oh man.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

I actually wrote notes for this week. Oh wow, okay. For the movie review or just the pod in general? No, just stuff that I can talk about.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

Huh? And I just remembered something else. Ha ha.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

Because you know, I have such a busy life. Yeah. Busy week. Yeah. You know, you spent the entire week in uh Swede Town. Right. Um California Swede Town. Swedish Swedishville. Well, it wasn't a whole week. It was just the one night up there and um solving.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

Yeah. And then um the last pod I was in San Francisco. And then maybe is he back? Maybe I just see a black screen. I feel like we need to make Lou watch the podcast next week so he can hear my joke. I'll wait for a little girl to watch it.

SPEAKER_03 12:14

And then and then she can tell me.

SPEAKER_01 12:16

And then she can tell you. Exactly. That's a pretty good one, too. I'm pretty proud of myself.

SPEAKER_03 12:26

You remember what happened last time when that happened? It was just audio on my side. Whatever. Oh well. I can make all the faces.

SPEAKER_01 12:35

You're here. 50% of you is here.

unknown 12:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:38

Two-thirds of you is here.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

You have a voice for radio or something. A face for radio. Voice for sports radio. That's what we talked about last week. All right, Dean. What'd you think about Project Hail Mary? Oh, Lou, were you- I'm sorry, Lou, were you done with your with your comments on Project Hail Mary?

SPEAKER_03 12:58

Yeah, yeah. Overall, like I said, it was great. Loved it. Um I'm not sure I need to watch it again, but if it was on, I'd watch it. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 13:09

Or if somebody was like, I haven't seen it slow. You wouldn't you wouldn't be like, no, let's watch something else. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:15

Yeah, no, no. I would if somebody's like, I haven't seen that one. I'll watch it. I'm like, I'm in. But I'm not gonna force the issue. Do what I mean, not gonna force the issue. Just because it was long and slow, but it was good. I mean, don't get me wrong. I mean, I I would tell anybody, I'm trying to think if there's if there's been a better movie this year, and I'm not sure if there has been. But I I can't say I can't I can't think of all the movies. So but yeah, that one probably so far for me.

FX Editing And Standout Performances

SPEAKER_01 13:40

Um no, I mean, I I mean I I concur with you guys. Like, um I thought it was yeah, it was really well done. Um I liked that there was like an amount of humor through it. It was it didn't take itself like too seriously. Right. I think sometimes the space movie saving the mankind type of thing can get a little a little too serious, and this one I thought, you know, still had like a there was like a level of levity to it, you know, like somebody with the joke, the you know, even when he's interacting with uh when uh Grace is interacting with Rocky and you know his everybody at the everybody on Earth kind of being pretty serious and then him coming and kind of lightening things up, uh the guy making the joke about um what did he say when they're in the conference room and he comes in and he says something and then um everyone like looks at him all seriously, and then a little while later in the scene the guy the guy on the mic says the same thing type of thing.

SPEAKER_03 14:45

But I don't remember what he said, but it was the same thing, yeah, yeah. That was like I like this guy or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Yeah, yeah. Uh Carl was great. And Carl. Carl's a fucking pimp. Nope, yeah. We don't have nope, we don't have an expense account. We don't have an expense account, but I do. Right? That was a good line. That was a good thing. She's like, Do you have a coupon? I don't need a coupon, I'm the government. Which government? All of them. All of them. But I mean, again, I I I did appreciate the fact that that there was also like a a level of realness to it too. Like when she was talking about like when she has like on one of the last conversations with him, and she's talking about, yeah, only a quarter of the world will die. That is if everybody actually decides to share resources and ration. And she goes, but we all know that's not going to happen. Like, and I was like, cool, like instead of like being like humanity would come together, we know some of humanity would come together, and then everybody else would just be in it for themselves.

SPEAKER_03 15:46

Like there would be a percentage I think every every country would be in it for themselves, and then within the country, there'd be a group of people who are in it for themselves, and then the group of people who are being um social.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

So um but yeah, I mean I thought everybody acting did a great job. I was sad they killed the uh the ATT girl. That made me sad, but you know, she doesn't deserve to be a good one. Well, that was her. I couldn't tell. No, she doesn't. Um Lena Weintraub or something. Uh I liked when I liked that they were going through all the different voices, trying to figure out which one worked for him, and then they had Meryl Streep. That was pretty funny. Um But yeah, I mean the VFX were great. I thought, you know, uh the space VFX, I thought the Rocky VFX, all that stuff. They they did a really really good thing. Wow. Everything was practical. And that was ILM, right? I'm not 100% sure. I mean, I'm sure it was multiple houses.

SPEAKER_03 16:50

I was gonna say ILM would have done well no, they would have just done digital, not necessarily green screens. Okay, alright, cool.

SPEAKER_02 16:58

Let me uh let me see. Let's see. And um his next movie is Star Wars, so because Ryan Gosling's gonna be hitting on all cylinders. Maybe, if that movie's any good. It has Ryan Gosling in it. I mean, are you saying Blade Runner was good?

SPEAKER_01 17:32

I don't know, I don't watch it yet. But it has Ryan Gosling in it. Wait, you've never seen Blade Runner 2042? Really?

SPEAKER_02 17:40

2049. 2049? 40 something. 69? 6'7? That's a Blade Runner he'd watch. Mm-hmm. That's the one I'm gonna make in my backyard. Let's go.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

But uh no, I thought it was really good. Movie about nothing.

SPEAKER_03 18:01

It's like Seinfeld.

SPEAKER_01 18:02

It was it was long, but like I don't feel like there was a bunch of filler. You know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like they while it was long that it was effective, right? Like, like they used the time well, right? Right. Um I I didn't feel myself like you know sometimes during movies when they're really long, you'll find yourself like squirreling a little bit or wandering during some your brain wandering. I didn't find myself doing that at all. So I thought it was it was well done.

SPEAKER_02 18:39

Well, great pod, guys. Uh break.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

Umjectured he actually wrote notes down so we could stay on topic for this. What? I know we have a we have a we have an agenda for the podcast for the first time in three years. Right. Um actually it's mostly about um hockey last night. Um but anyway, so since the last pod. It's a page, two-thirds of it's about hockey, and a third is like remember to talk about Project Hail Mary. Right.

an Francisco Trip And Timeshare Pivot

SPEAKER_03 19:18

Then he goes to a minor league hockey game, and that's his focus.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

Mm-hmm. All right. I was very happy. I'm like Star Wars and hockey. This is legit. Um they win. No. Losers. So tell us your story, sir. Anyways, so last time um last episode I was in uh San Francisco. That's where we did the pod from. I had a little ginger special guest. Did my best to edit her out, but I think I mostly got her face out, but I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. I want her face off zoom in on myself and like make it weird, but whatever. You could you could have just done the happy face. People just put the smiley, the smiley emoji. You gotta get to get good at editing, dude. Get good. Right?

SPEAKER_03 20:11

Did she not know what you were doing?

SPEAKER_01 20:13

She 100% knew what I was doing. And that's why she did what she did. And that's why she did what she did.

SPEAKER_03 20:19

And interrupted on purpose.

SPEAKER_01 20:22

Just like her daddy.

SPEAKER_03 20:23

Dude, I'm glad, man. How generous change? I would have got an ass whooping for that. Knowing this, like if you didn't know, that's one thing. But if you knew and did it on purpose, my dad would have whooped my ass. Your dad, the famous podcaster. It'd be a podcast about whooping my ass. That's all it would be. Different positions, different technologies.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

Three years of content. He whooping lose ass so much. His page would be two-thirds not.

SPEAKER_03 20:55

My brothers, my brothers for sure. He'd have three on my brother for sure.

SPEAKER_01 21:02

His pager notes would be two-thirds hockey and one-third whoop and lose ass.

SPEAKER_03 21:08

Yeah, and that that hockey would be all about bitching about how it sucks, just like baseball and soccer. My dad watches two sports, football and freaking basketball. That's it. He's black as hell.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

Tell him there's black people in hockey now. He can start watching. There's even one on the bulldozer.

SPEAKER_03 21:28

He don't count the puck, dog. He don't count the puck.

SPEAKER_01 21:31

Uh Colasar's black. Ryan Reeves is black. He's not on the team anymore, but there's like four total.

SPEAKER_03 21:38

Out of how many?

SPEAKER_02 21:39

And there's one. 25 times 30? So, anyways. Um fifty hockey players at most.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

My wife was not impressed with San Francisco, our timeshare there. So we only stay there one night. So we were moved up to real quick before you get into that, just to correct you. As of the 25-26 NHL season, there are approximately 23 to 26 black players in the league. That's like a whole team, Lou. Marking one of the highest totals in NHL.

SPEAKER_03 22:12

Stock, stop, stop. How many of them are straight up black and how many of them are mixed?

SPEAKER_01 22:18

Try that again. I just I just said African asked that question.

SPEAKER_03 22:25

I I don't ask me all the time. You look for a job, it's like, are you black? And then they like black. What is this black non-Hispanic crap? My mixed ass can't check either in the boxes. Black non-Hispanic. No. It's white non-Hispanic. Why is this? Because some the one I just the one I just filled out was black non-Hispanic. I was like, wait a minute.

unknown 22:46

No.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

I think it's like you're Cuban or some shit or like Dominican.

SPEAKER_03 22:50

Yeah, but that's not black. Cuban ain't black. Black is black. Why don't they just put all of them and just check all that apply? The best option is check all that apply. No, they want to limit you.

SPEAKER_01 23:04

Do the same thing with age, man. It was a sad day when I had to start marking 46 to 54. Because now I'm like, wait, hang on. That's no.

SPEAKER_03 23:18

You know, you're not wrong there. I hate when you when you like the credit card or something you put in your birthday, you gotta roll down to the 70s. It's like, man, I'm still scrolling down to the 70s. It's like used to be just one roll, bitch. One roll. Land on a dollar. Land on a dollar. My year is right there. For real. Now I'm just like, ooh. It's like, oh, come on.

SPEAKER_01 23:41

Shit, it is a good one. Yes, unfortunately. Shit, I'm only in 1994. I gotta keep going.

SPEAKER_03 23:50

Keep going. I need to change my mouse. That whole roll for three lines bullshit ain't working for me. Roll for three lines.

SPEAKER_01 23:58

Lou fills out one application and his mouse wheel is broken, just doesn't work anymore.

SPEAKER_03 24:03

Man, for real. It's like, man, and I hate using the touchpad thing, mainly because I don't know how. Because I hear you can scroll on it if you do something.

SPEAKER_01 24:14

It's because Lou, it's because it uses two fingers, so that's why you don't understand it.

SPEAKER_03 24:19

Yeah, yeah. I definitely don't use two fingers.

SPEAKER_01 24:26

Is this not enough? Is this not enough?

SPEAKER_03 24:30

Computer, is this not enough for you? Nah, my computer's a whore. He wants the whole palm.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

Luke Fitz says computers bump. Alright, so, so anyways. Wife was not impressed with San Francisco. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_03 24:51

Before you go on with it, no, it's it's on topic, but before you go on with that, so were you supposed to stay there longer than one night?

SPEAKER_01 24:58

Two nights.

SPEAKER_03 24:58

Like how long? Two nights. Oh, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

Um, but she was like, nah, not impressed. The parking sucked.

SPEAKER_02 25:08

It was like three blocks away.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

Because San Francisco sucks. Oh no, anybody would have to do something. Yeah. Was it street parking or just the lot that you were in? It was a garage, yeah. It was a garage. Yeah. Like there was one across the street, but they're like, nah, son, don't park there. The crackheads go in there. Well, I mean, so they were looking out for you.

SPEAKER_03 25:31

Well, it's California, so crackheads are everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 25:38

Everywhere in California. Nah, city living like that is not for me.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

Downtown LA, freaking San Diego. That is not for me. I'm a city person. I'm not that city. Um, so we bailed on that the next morning and we went up to uh wine country up in Windsor. Um and we stayed there for two nights. That timeshare was a three-bedroom condo. It was super nice. Wait, and it had a curfew bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was still our timeshare.

SPEAKER_03 26:19

So so how does that work? What when you checked out of the first one? Did you tell them, like, look, y'all shit sucks? Can you hook hook us up with some other place?

kywalker Ranch Store And Pier 39

SPEAKER_01 26:28

No, she just made a resie at the other. Oh, you did it all yourself and canceled the next night, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Um, so that one was super nice. Um but while you were in San Francisco, you went to But while in San Francisco, um we did go over to the Presidio and saw the Yoda Fountain. Took a picture with it. Uh, went over to the Skywalker Ranch General Store. It was cool. It wasn't as exclusive as I was hoping. Um, but they had like a bunch of like Star Wars corksicle bottles. Like you can get anywhere, right? But these ones had the Skywalker Ranch logo on them, so that was kind of cool. Um, but I picked up like a challenge coin and like some patches and stuff, just like little stuff. Um they didn't have the Roosevelt flannel in my size, so I was like, sucks. Or any of our sizes.

SPEAKER_03 27:25

Do they not in stock or not made?

SPEAKER_02 27:29

In stock. Because I asked. And she's like, I'll go check the back. And she's like, nah, that's all we got, son. I'm like, who the hell wears a small? Is that something you can order online? Mm-mm. No, they only sell it at the Skywalker Ranch. Called Dwarfs.

SPEAKER_01 27:49

Much like the shirt you're wearing, Lou, you can only get it at Disneyland. Did you get a Java the Hut cup of coffee? No, because it was the general store. It wasn't like we didn't get to go inside ILM stuff or anything like that. It's like in the Presidio. So nope. Nothing fun like that.

SPEAKER_02 28:10

I think I had a Java the Hut shirt for a little while. I still have it. I rocked it once in a while.

SPEAKER_01 28:19

From my trip to ILM, years ago. Yes. So many ago. Alright. So you end up going up north, wine country. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 28:29

Uh wait, that was it for San Francisco? No Ghirardelli Square?

SPEAKER_01 28:33

No Pier 39. Actually, yes, we did. We did. We did. No. Lies. Lies everywhere. We did do that. Um, so after that, that's when we went down to Pier 39. Yep. Pier 39. Yeah. We ate. We've got little one a build-a bear for her birthday. Because at Build-A-Bear, until you're like 14 or something, you can build the birthday bear for whatever age you are. So a Build-A-Bear for$11 sold.

SPEAKER_02 29:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:03

It's a good deal. And then they also have like exclusive um outfits and shit. Because it's right there by Alcatraz. So I let her get a uh like a striped prisoner suit that says property of Alcatraz on it. Ah, back to the Picari water. You sweating this one. I have to parch it.

SPEAKER_02 29:26

I mean, yeah, they came through.

SPEAKER_01 29:30

Right. Hot as hell. I was in the pool like half the morning, too. For some reason, swimming in water doesn't hydrate you. It's kind of rude. I can't just like absorb it like a fish or some shit. It's all those fire pits around your pool that are taking all the.

SPEAKER_02 29:50

Fuck that earth. I'll be dead before anything happens. Exactly. You still got four billion years. Yeah. Fuck 'em. Um, so yeah, so we ate, got some good fish.

SPEAKER_01 30:07

Um Ghiradelli. Somebody needs to learn how to drive and scrape the side of her car in the parking garage, but I'm not gonna name any names or anything, but oldest. Damn it.

SPEAKER_02 30:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:22

I mean the parking garage is fucked up, but I still I'm I'm sure uh I'm sure it was handled in a completely mature and calm way when that happened. On my part it was. You dumb. You hit that shit. That's on you.

SPEAKER_03 30:41

That wall didn't sound like absolutely some No, there's absolutely gonna be some complaining on the design of the lot or the garage and why it was the design's fault.

SPEAKER_01 30:53

Look, it was a super small, fucked up garage, but somebody needs to learn the dimensions of her car and how to swing some shit. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_03 31:01

Well, that I mean, that is that is a thing. I I just had that conversation about two hours ago. If you can't fucking park it, don't buy it. One of those type of situations. Because I was just random, random off topic. Because we're talking about somebody who was driving in front of us when it went to the battery at Toyota Tacoma. Like, oh, somebody's wanted that car. Like mine used to be the I want an F-150. Until I saw how big that bitch was, I was like, I will not be able to park that or drive it in a lot of places. I have no interest in F-150.

SPEAKER_01 31:30

Yep. Yep. I am more than happy with my Bronco sport. I Bronco, I think, would just be too much.

SPEAKER_03 31:36

My little Ranger. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 31:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 31:39

SUV, my little renegade before it got total. Nice. It's perfect.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

I I love the Bronco, but I would never own a Bronco because it just is too just a little too wide, a little too long, like, you know. Girthy. Too much girth for me.

SPEAKER_02 31:59

Not the first time I've heard that from you. That's fair.

SPEAKER_01 32:02

That's the first time I've heard it. I mean, I think that says more about you than it does about either of us. I think that'll be the last time we uh go to Ghirardelli. Okay, wait, wait, wait. So you went down to Pier 39, you did the Build-A-Bear, and then you went to Ghirardelli Square. Yeah, then we went to Ghardelli. Which was just down the street. Okay. Too far to walk, but yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:46

Well uh no, it's not too far to walk. You freaking it is not too far to walk. It is not close, but it's not too far to walk.

SPEAKER_01 32:55

It is when you just had knee surgery.

SPEAKER_03 32:58

Oh, well, yeah. It's too far to walk if you have blame dumb knees. That place that's does, fuck that. I'm gonna jump on that trolley.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

Yep. Right? Yep. Um, so yeah, for necklace, and then we went back home for the night. And then um the next day we went to the jelly belly factory. So that was cool. Just walk through, see how they make jelly bellies and shit.

SPEAKER_02 33:23

Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 33:26

It's always been based out of San Francisco, right? Yeah, it's up that way, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:30

Yeah, all the times, because I went there obviously with uh X so many times, but I don't remember ever bringing up Jelly Belly.

SPEAKER_01 33:38

Well, Jelly Belly's not in San Francisco, I think it's in Fairfield or something, is what it's called. Like Northern California. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the most of there.

unknown 33:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 33:47

Um, but we did it when oldest was little, so little one hasn't been before, so it's still cool. Um, like all those uh jelly belly arts that I sent you guys and stuff. Those are pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03 33:59

That was badass.

SPEAKER_01 34:00

Yeah. And um then obviously they have like a factory outlet there, so I bought way too many jelly bellies. But you know, whatever. Is there such a thing? No.

SPEAKER_03 34:14

I don't know, maybe, because the Starburst ones are probably the best.

SPEAKER_02 34:19

But you can't have too many of them. Those are jelly beans. But jelly bellies are different. They don't have Starburst ones.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

Yes, but they don't have Starburst flavors.

SPEAKER_03 34:34

That's my point.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

They may have they may have fruit flavors, but they don't have Starburst flavors, right? Right.

SPEAKER_03 34:41

Right, which makes them not as good.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

Also, the the guys that make Jelly Belly are the guys that invented candy corn. That was a cool fact. I mean, I guess if candy corn didn't suck ass, like I mean, it makes sense because I like candy corn.

unknown 35:03

Gross.

SPEAKER_03 35:03

So do I? What's with this guy? I'm questioning our relationship bringing up you know, you bite off the top color, then you eat the middle color, and then you eat the rest of it. You like eat it. Yeah. Just the tip.

SPEAKER_02 35:17

You circumcise it. Eat that shit in thirds. Then you deep throat it.

SPEAKER_01 35:22

And then you get to the balls.

SPEAKER_03 35:23

Then you and then you finish it off. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:25

Wait, what type of what type of candy corn are you eating that balls?

SPEAKER_03 35:32

The best kind. That's Halloween comes around, Jack looking for that dark uh candy corn.

SPEAKER_01 35:41

I get all my candy candy corn. All my candy corn at uh Spencer's.

SPEAKER_03 35:48

That's who would have it for sure. Man, you're gonna make me look now. Yeah, I was gonna say, you're gonna make me look now. Now I'm curious.

SPEAKER_01 35:56

That's fine. You can have is there candy corn with testicles in your search? I'm not putting it in mine. Incognito bone.

SPEAKER_03 36:06

Right, exactly. I mean, with all the stuff they do for bachelorette parties and stuff, I would imagine that's a thing.

SPEAKER_01 36:12

Oh. Uh-oh. Shaky internet. Oh, there you go. Unstable internet. Unstable. I'm not sure your internet is entirely stable.

SPEAKER_03 36:21

Not entirely stable.

SPEAKER_01 36:25

Why don't you get in the back? Uh no, Chewy, take the professor in the back.

SPEAKER_03 36:33

Oh, wait.

SPEAKER_02 36:36

Yeah, candy corn penises.

SPEAKER_01 36:41

I just got rich. No, now, I mean, you if you as long as you copyright it before you release the episode. Everything on this episode is copyrighted.

SPEAKER_02 36:51

Everything we do is copyrighted, so fuck you. Exactly. Fine. That's copyrighted too, once it's published. I'll find a lawyer. Using AI?

SPEAKER_03 37:09

There's so many Jews around here. For sure.

SPEAKER_01 37:11

Afroman got off, so what do you think? Oh, that Afroman video was fantastic. Talk about somebody not giving a fucking shit, dude. It was amazing. He knew he was right.

SPEAKER_02 37:22

And then he really knocked out that girl didn't walk into court. The one where he knocked out that girl on stage? No. Afroman. Which I was talking about. Afro man.

SPEAKER_03 37:37

Anyways, we'll get to that. Yeah. We'll get to that. He knocked out some bitch on stage. When? Did she deserve it? Yeah. She jumped up on stage in the middle of the show and was trying to grind her ass up against him. He turned around and boom! Knocked her ass out.

eanuts Museum And Power Outage Travel

SPEAKER_01 37:52

Sounds like self-defense. Anyways, of course. So after after Jelly Belly, we went to the uh we went to the Charles M. Schultz Museum that they have up there. Um I guess he spent like the last penis, yep.

SPEAKER_02 38:10

Yeah, canning horn.

SPEAKER_01 38:12

Um I guess he spent like the the last portion of his life up there. Okay. Santa Santa Rosa, I think it's called. Um but he built like an ice skating rink, like uh baseball fields and shit for like the kids up there. Like right next to his house, just so that he could like walk out and enjoy life, draw peanuts and play hockey. Beat them little kids' ass. He just goes out there on the ice rink. Let's do it. Well he did. Like they had like um like the NHL would like send their guys up there to play against them. Like he had like a seniors league or some shit, and like they like played like against like NHL hockey players and shit. It was very interesting. But it was cool to see like his original like um comic strips and stuff. He drew them like really big. Like for whatever reason, I always thought that they just drew them like the size they are on the newspaper. But they're actually pretty huge. They're they're really big.

SPEAKER_02 39:21

They're like art prints, right? Like art print size.

SPEAKER_00 39:24

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:27

Um, that was cool.

SPEAKER_01 39:28

Um learned a lot about peanuts and how it came about in his life. Like they went to his house somewhere back east when he had his first daughter, and um they cut the wall out to bring it over because like he like drew like a mural, like drew shit on her wall, like her in her nursery. And they sold the house, it got sold over a couple times, and like people are painting over it and shit. And then I guess somebody bought the house knowing that that was his house and that he painted in her room, and she like art restored like to strip away all the old paint to bring his paint back out, and then the museum's like we want that wall. So they like cut the whole wall out of the house and sent it over to California.

SPEAKER_02 40:23

Nice. That's wow. Right? Crazy. But when you when I mean, but when you got peanuts money though, like oh yeah. That ain't no thing. Yeah. You just bought the whole house and sent it out there, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 40:40

Yeah. Like Sue just go and he marks all the the timbers and then takes it apart. Yeah. Rebuild it. Yep, rebuild it by number. It's like following the Lincoln log directions. Um so then that night, I think we were going home the next day, um, doing laundry, and the fucking power goes out. That was annoying. Tanky ass California power system. Oh yeah, because that was when you were you guys were talking about hockey or something in the chat, and the power kept going out, so you couldn't like there was something you were doing, and and then the power went out, and you're like, well, now I don't even know how it's gonna end. Or something like that. Yeah, because I lost the internet because you can't have internet without power. I think you're in the middle of freaking wine country, so there's no cell signal.

SPEAKER_03 41:32

I think that's mob's all like it's three dotted in the first period.

SPEAKER_02 41:35

I'm out. Yeah. Um, but whatever.

SPEAKER_01 41:45

And then we got up early and drove all the way home on Thursday.

tar Wars Night At Minor League Hockey

SPEAKER_02 41:52

That was a long ass drive. Um, it was pretty entertaining though. The drive was entertaining? Yeah. Trip or the drive. Both. The drive. The scenery. Staring out the window. Gazing upon America's beauty. There you go. And so you were home for the weekend then? Yeah, so we were home um Thursday night about 6-7. Um yeah, so Friday we went to see Project Hail Mary.

SPEAKER_01 42:31

Um and then yesterday was Star Wars Night at the Silver Knights. The Henderson Silver Knights, our minor league team. Um, so they had a shirt giveaway.

SPEAKER_02 42:48

Um that's a pretty nice shirt. I like it. If you're into red.

SPEAKER_01 42:55

But it's Star Wars E and everything. Yeah. And I was able to hook you guys up as well. So that will be in your your gift piles for next time I see you. Um I also bought the jersey that they had that the guys were playing in. Nice. Like just a replica, not.

SPEAKER_03 43:14

I don't know if you were gonna get that. Once you showed it to us, I was like, oh, I wonder if that's for sale. And if so, are you gonna jack one?

SPEAKER_01 43:20

Hell yeah, I did. Oh. Can we re- can we rewind you went to WonderCon, right? No, that's this coming weekend. That's coming. Okay, that's coming up. Sorry. Yeah. And no, that plan has been next.

SPEAKER_02 43:33

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 43:34

What? I know, I know.

SPEAKER_02 43:37

You can go by yourself. Yeah. I could get on a bus and I mean, that name is like a boy name. Not really, but there's an article right. I think it's cool.

SPEAKER_01 43:52

Um Yeah, so they had a really cool intro. I did not send it to you guys, but um, it's the third year they've done it, and it's the first time they've done like a dark side thing. So um if you've been to a sporting event, you know sometimes they put like these little mini movies and shit together. Maybe I don't know. Maybe it's just a Vegas hockey thing. No, I think it's uh um everywhere. I think a lot of it depends on how big their of an imagination their like promotion team has, right? Like Yeah. What's the budget so Yeah, exactly. It was pretty good. Um so not their mascot, but one of their characters is the Henderson Silver Knight. She's this really cute redhead girl. Um and then there's another one called the Town Cryer. He wears like this old timey hat with a feather in it, and he says huzzah a lot. So he was Palpatine. Um one of the announcer guys was Mace Windu, and then the Silver Knight was standing there, and it was uh Palpatine's office when uh Anakin turns and like recreated like frame for frame. Like they green screened like Palpatine's office in there. The dialogue was the same and everything. It was pretty good. Um but yeah, so she turned evil and like killed all the little kids, even. And then um the cool part was they showed Order 66. Well, it they did, they had a little kid like Silver Knight, what are we going to do? And then you just see the lights over come out. Wow, darkness. You just hear a bunch of kids crying in the crowd. Right. Silver Knight's gonna kill me. She's hot, so it's fine, it's fine. Alright. Um, and then they show Order 66, like they went out to the courtyard and they had like all these stormtroopers come in. So they use like the local cosplayers and stuff, um, which was kind of funny because she walked in with like Rex and like Fives and Jesse and a couple of clone commandos.

SPEAKER_02 46:16

Um actually, that is not how it happened.

SPEAKER_01 46:19

No, you wrestled with the putcher actually. Actually, Rex was out with Ahsoka when Order 66 happened, but whatever.

SPEAKER_02 46:32

Whatever. Fine.

SPEAKER_01 46:35

Um, but it was pretty good. I'll try to send it to you guys. It's fairly long, but we'll see if the the internet waves can handle it. Um is probably can't this evening.

SPEAKER_02 46:49

Save it for tomorrow.

SPEAKER_01 46:56

Um I mean the game was okay. It started out okay, and then like the Texas team just started whooping our ass. Which sucks, because they're on like a six-game winning streak, and then Star Wars Knight they fucking lose and get their asses spanked. Um but during first intermission, they had uh he had a really good costume. It was like super legit, right? It was like um the armor almost. No, no, no, it was it was like the armor, yeah, it was somebody else. Uh the armor, but it was like golden knights themed. It was a pretty good costume. So they asked him five questions, and for each question he gets right, he gets a puck to try to shoot into the net, right? From like half court. So the first one, and is that right? Center line? Yeah, centerline.

SPEAKER_02 47:53

There's nerds, a lot of center eyes over. Anyways, so the first question what color is Yoda's lightsaber, right?

SPEAKER_01 48:08

Like purple, green, blue. So we got that one right. The next question was who told Anakin the story about Darth Plague as the wise? Obi-Wan, Palpatine, or Mace Windu? He said Mace Windu. Yeah, it was multiple choice. They even give you multiple choice. Uh, did you boo him? With the crowd yelling it out. Yes, I did. Did you boo that man? Boo that man! Yes, boo him. I was about to boo him out of the frickin' stadium. Hopefully he got booed out of the 501st for right. Um, and then the droid general that Obi-Wan defeated on Utapow. Um, I like that one because they um one of the choices was uh that spider guy from Clone Wars.

SPEAKER_02 48:57

Fuck was his name? General um Oh, the general Yeah, the Spider One.

SPEAKER_01 49:06

The Obi-Wan fought like three times, and every time he was four mechanical ways.

SPEAKER_03 49:13

Yep, and it was like, dude, just kill him right now. And he kept showing up.

SPEAKER_01 49:18

And he finally did. And then what planet did Obi-Wan? Yes, trench. I know it was a weird simple word. Um, what planet did Anakin and Obi-Wan fight on? And then when the question is that I don't um I don't even know. I think it was like Tatooine Dagobond Mustafar. Ooh.

SPEAKER_03 49:37

Wait, which time and does a practice fighting count? That's gonna be a trick question.

SPEAKER_02 49:41

Right.

SPEAKER_01 49:43

Um, and then who the question was overly uh descriptive, because this can only happen once. Who decapitated Count Dooku on the invisible hand? Okay. He can only be decapitated once. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:00

I was gonna say, you could have stopped at who decapitated Count Dooku.

SPEAKER_01 50:06

You know what? That was just that was written by the Star Wars nerd uh on the on the promotion staff who was like, an invisible hand. And people are like, what is this? People are I don't know who this is. What this invisible hand question. Right.

SPEAKER_03 50:20

What's the exact question? Right.

SPEAKER_02 50:23

That's a way better question.

SPEAKER_00 50:29

Right.

SPEAKER_01 50:30

What ship and then what ship did Obi-Wan have a problem landing on Coruscant? Perfect landing. Um and then they did um karaoke, which was Yoda. So we all got to sing Yoda. That was fun. Did the guy get the prize on that, by the way? He got like one, and they gave him the prize anyways, because you know, whatever. Well, it was the prize, it wasn't a truck or anything. So it's like a Silver Knights prize pack. It's in like this little drawstring bag. I don't actually know what's in any of them. But probably like a shirt and maybe tickets to a game and that type of thing. Concession credits. Right. Yeah, cup. Speaking of cups, one of the refalls with the puck, dude. Cracked his cup.

SPEAKER_02 51:25

Wait.

SPEAKER_01 51:28

Bro, went down like Johnny Cage when he punches you in the nuts in Mortal Kombat, dude. It was the exact same pose.

SPEAKER_03 51:34

And he's like, no, that reminds me. Last week I saw that trailer for the first time. That shit looks badass.

SPEAKER_01 51:42

Yeah, it does. You hadn't seen uh the Mortal Kombat trailer before that?

SPEAKER_02 51:46

Nope.

SPEAKER_03 51:49

I saw it on whatever a Monday or two Tuesday movie was, and I was like, holy shit, that looks sweet.

SPEAKER_01 51:56

Yeah, dude. Well, because tomorrow night your guys' secret movie, right?

SPEAKER_02 52:01

Yep. Yeah, they will kill you. Yeah, in the next guy. I'm excited about it.

SPEAKER_03 52:13

I'm less interested in. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 52:19

It's Pat and Sin and Sandeas, but whatever. It'll be at least entertaining a little bit. I don't know, it looks slow and boring.

SPEAKER_03 52:29

Here's this thing that we're not gonna tell you, and you won't find out about it to the end of the movie. It's like, oh god, so now I gotta sit here.

SPEAKER_01 52:35

It looks like the next secret movie then? Or not tomorrow night. Yeah, we have two lined up now, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, 23rd and 30th.

unknown 52:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 52:47

Just secret moving it up. I am excited about They Will Kill You since I saw the trailer months ago. Yeah, that looks like Zazzy beats in her underwear, beating the shit out of everybody, and and um there's blood everywhere. Okay, fine. Yeah. Whatever.

SPEAKER_02 53:04

So and then um so we were leaving and there was a black girl dressed as Slave Leia. I didn't know how to feel about that. I just like ma'am.

SPEAKER_01 53:23

You you still got a picture with her though, right? No. What? She wasn't that cute. Oh, okay. Well, I mean that's totally different. Look, there's some slave Leyas that you take pictures with. There are some you do not. That's true. It has nothing to do with their skin color, by the way. We're not racist, except for Lou. Oh. Don't you remember back in the day when um at Celebration when they would have when they when General Giant first made that giant job of the hut, and they would have like the Slave Leia meetups.

SPEAKER_03 53:57

The photo, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:59

Dressing up as Slave Leia wasn't taboo. Yeah, everybody did it. Now nobody does it. Well, well, you know why that was? So many of the guys would be like, I'm gonna dress up like Han Solo. You should be Princess Leia. So a ton of them, I think, are just were just girlfriends who were like, oh, like, I want to hang out with my boyfriend. And he said he wanted me to dress up like this. I have no idea who she is, but he wants to be Han Solo. Because there was one who was like, you remember there was like one slave Leia that was like above and beyond the rest of them as far as like notoriety goes. And then all of a sudden, like her boyfriend shows up, and of course he's dressed up like Han Solo, and you're like, a fucking course you're Han Solo.

SPEAKER_02 54:40

Like, mm-hmm. What a nugnaut? Java Chewbacca? There you go. Java would be good.

SPEAKER_03 54:57

But if he can pull off looking like Jabba, I doubt he's pulling a slave Leia type that can actually wear the outfit.

SPEAKER_01 55:04

Or at least a slave Leia that you want to take a picture of. Yeah. He might have a great personality. He might be a given person. Yeah, Lou. Yes, maybe he uses two fingers on his computer. Yeah, he knows how to make a scroll work on his on his touchpad.

SPEAKER_02 55:28

As soon as a touchpad is is has tongue access, we're good.

SPEAKER_01 55:33

It does. That's what that little nub is between the G and the H. Lou's got his keyboard. He's like, it's not working, guys. I'm looking at it as hard as I can. No, the nub's what they had before they had touch pads. That used to be your mouse. It's like a little controller.

SPEAKER_03 55:57

And now the G and the H have one.

SPEAKER_01 55:58

And it was red.

SPEAKER_03 56:01

That's a trackball.

loud Gaming Peppa Pig And Achievements

SPEAKER_01 56:03

I constantly get them confused. It's funny when Lou sticks his tongue out at you, it says G H. It's weird. It's backwards. That's a weird tattoo, Lou.

SPEAKER_02 56:13

Yeah, H G. It says H G. Well, that's good. Sounds like you had a good week, sir. It was fun.

SPEAKER_01 56:25

Um, also, I completed Peppa Pig on Xbox.

SPEAKER_02 56:31

They're taking it off of Game Pass at the end of the month, so um Yeah. It only took me like half an hour, so it was fine.

SPEAKER_01 56:43

And I played it with um cloud gaming, so you don't even have to download it, you just play it on the cloud, and you don't have to solely your hard drive with anything.

SPEAKER_02 56:53

It's very cool.

SPEAKER_01 56:55

So like the simple low uh low size games, you're not you know, like you're not downloading two gigs. Now you're playing like if you're playing like uh Call of Duty or something that's like 35 or 40 gigs, then it's like, oh sorry. Yeah, I don't think you can do the cloud gaming on those. But yeah, like some of the smaller games, you can just cloud game it and stream your game and you don't have to download nothing. It's kind of cool. And for a thousand gamers for, why not? Why even if it is Peppa Pig? It's not the first Peppa Pig game I have on my gamertag.

SPEAKER_02 57:35

Won't be the last. I think it's the second. Now to make another one. Right? Exactly. And put it on Game Pass.

SPEAKER_01 57:47

How old were your it's 2029 and Jack just beat the last Peppa Pig. How old are your kids, Jack? Are they game? Nope. That's my that's my gamer tag. My game. Your youngest is gonna be graduating from college, and you're like, thousand points and peppa pig 12. Yeah, yeah. And then today.

SPEAKER_03 58:11

I could say the kitty kitty in the city game on my is not me.

SPEAKER_02 58:16

The little kitty in the big game. That is not me. That game was fun.

SPEAKER_03 58:25

That game was frustrating to watch a seven year, eight-year-old, nine-year-old play that. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_01 58:31

Wait, what age was what you watched it over the course of three years, Lou? Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 58:38

Oh, two plus.

SPEAKER_01 58:40

She started playing at seven and finally finished the game at nine.

SPEAKER_03 58:45

Well, she's here like an hour a month, so yeah.

SPEAKER_01 58:48

Oh, okay. And that's all she does for that hour is just play Kitty in the City. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 58:57

That's uh the only reason why it's like, hey, can we go see Lou? Um, and then she just comes over and plays the game until it's time to leave.

SPEAKER_01 59:07

Okay, I'm done now. We can go home.

unknown 59:10

Fuck.

SPEAKER_03 59:11

Yeah, can we go on board? Yeah, can we go home?

SPEAKER_01 59:15

It's about how it works. You're like, I'm bored too. Thanks for wasting uh my TV time. And then today, um, for whatever reason, I started wondering about new dorables because we haven't gotten any for a while. Lou knows. So I heard these were coming out.

SPEAKER_02 59:33

And they're kind of cool. They're like little Grogu heads. Alright, are you gonna open that up?

SPEAKER_01 59:39

No, not that one, because it's a double. Oh. I did open up some others though. So you open them and they're little um dioramas. So there he is. And the ice cave, right? Is that the ice cave? This one is the one that I got a double of, actually. That's the one that's not open, and I did not open it because it's the ultra rare, so there's one less you have to buy, Lou.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:11

Um, this one. And he fought all the red Mandalorians. Fa. And he fought the Red Mandalorians at the end of season two? Three? And then his meditation.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:31

Is that when he was on the rod? Do they Yeah, there's dark troopers behind him. Do they come they come in the bubble like that, or do you have to put them together?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:40

No, they're in a bag. So you got a bunch of separate bags. So Grogu comes in a bubble in a bag. The base and the background piece is in a bag, and then on this one, there's two like caves coming up the side. So that one's in there. And then coup de gra. I got the special edition, glow in the dark. You can't really tell what it is, but it's the same as the last one, the meditating one.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:11

Except he glows. And that's clear winning one which is clear window. Yeah. That's the SE. So Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:23

So I got four out of eight. The other one is Grogu with the Anzelens. Grogu with a Soka.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:34

There's eight total. You bought five. You got four that were different, and the repeat you got was an ultra rare.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:44

That's a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:45

Do we need to look for these for you? Is that what you're saying? Do I need to search for it? No, no. No, this is a Lou thing. I usually just sick Lou. I'm like, Lou, go buy Dorbles. And he just gets sets together.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:56

I was like, okay. Like, what do you need? Are you sure that's all you want? Then there's Oh, Olda says she now wants invisible woman.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:05

Uh-huh. And then Grogu That's how the last one went. Maybe Oh, no, Grogu in school. Because he has little um you can't even see him on here.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:16

The little Twinkie thing?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:18

The cookie? Yeah, he has the cookies. His uh that we're saving for later in the movie. What were they? They were um Madelines, right? Or macarons. Macarons. Macrons. Macrons. Yeah. Sun. That's what I did always. I did add it to my favorites on Target's app. My targets have not gotten any.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:53

Like anything. Did I even see the Marvel ones there or nothing?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:57

I I was just about to say Marvel Series 2 and Star Wars Series 4 did not show up at the Targets out here.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:07

Did you get them online then? Walmart.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:11

No, Walmart. I basically hit Walmart's a lot different. Walmart's in Colorado. And I had my eyeballs open for, you know, all my notifications for Target, but nothing. Nothing popped open. The damnedest thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:30

Yeah, I don't know if they just gave up, they stopped. I don't know what's happened. It's kind of like there's a series called like Let's Party. Let's Party Wave 2 never hit the major stores. They only went to like Marshall's and TJ Maxx. It was weird.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:47

So I don't know. There's a YouTube channel I follow. Uh I watched his videos come up in my Lou, you should think about doing this. It's this guy he basically just goes like goes around to different stores and like shows what is at the store. So he has like his, you know, his his half a dozen Rosses, his half a dozen targets and Walmarts and stuff like that that he goes into. And he hardly well, the weird thing is he hardly ever buys anything. He just goes in and basically takes the camera and just like goes up and down the aisles and just talks about a little bit about what he's seeing and the stuff that's the same and that type of stuff.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:25

Yeah, that's not gonna work for me. It's like here you go. Here I'm at Target and Boulder, and there are three special editions, but don't come here because I bought them all.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:35

That's that's it's about how this is what's left after I have gone. Yeah. Right? Uh the ones that are gonna be here for six months. The commons. Yeah, the ones that are gonna be on the clearance aisle in six months. If you want these, check out my eBay store. Check out my eBay store. Right. I'm doing a week boxing on Thursday.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:58

Yeah, that's what it's called. What not, what app, whatever I'm doing. Yeah, you you want it, it's there. Yeah. Yeah, that's how that show would be. Everything starts at a leave special editions. I do not leave special editions on the rack. That is not working. I'll leave some ultra rares, but I will not leave a special edition.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:21

Always.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:22

At least I bought this for five bucks. How much you sell it for? Twelve. Okay. That's a pretty good markup.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:29

Yes. Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:40

We need a wait, summer's starting to approach, and summer trailer should be out, so shouldn't we be doing a trailer watch soon? Um, I can work on that. I was just thinking about that.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:55

Yeah, Lou. I don't think you've liked the trailer in the last like three months. Every single trailer, like, this is bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:01

I just said, I just said I like Mortal Kombat. I just said that.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:06

We talked about that. But you also just said you hated the Spider-Man trailer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:14

No, and no, it's not that I hated the Mandalorian trailer. I just think the movie's not going to be good. I think it's going to be a long episode, and they're going to fall into the Star Trek pattern, and it's going to suck because it's just a long episode and not a movie. I don't want that. I want an actual movie. I don't I just don't see how they can. And Dune with it other than just make a big long episode. So it's like, oh yeah. That's the problem with that. But Spider-Man trailer was like, okay, so. It was like it did like something. You know what? You know what? Dune. Dune was exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing Dune. I saw that trailer and was like, so shit on Dune.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:52

Dune Shre Shred Returns.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:55

You didn't see the Dune trailer?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:57

I did saw it. And then I would rather watch the Spider-Man trailer. It's like, oh, if we have a baby, what are we gonna name it? Blih bli with my stupid blue eyes. Why is Aquaman alive? This is fucking stupid.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:11

Oh, you don't know if they're gonna be able to do that. They didn't even show a sandworm.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:20

So just unzip and look down. All the sandworm you need.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:28

It's still stuck there from when the last popcorn bucket came out. Yeah, no, the Dune trailer showed less than Spider-Man. At least Spider-Man you get some kind of story. The Dune trailer's like, oh, here's Robert Pattinson, and here's Ndea. And for some reason, Aquaman's alive again.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:51

Not for some reason. The Dune trailer didn't need to show all that much because there's a book about it. The Spider-Man needed to at least tell you what the hell's going on because there's nothing about it. So instead, all you got is hey, character here, character here, character here, character here, is like, and okay, I'm over it.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:09

It's the teaser. It's not the story trailer, it's the teaser trailer. No, that was not the teaser.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:13

It did not say teaser. It was the full two minutes. That was not 30 seconds. Trust me, I know 30 seconds.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:21

I don't know how you're gonna put it out for what?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:25

Four months until the movie comes out? That's ridiculous. Didn't that movie come out in July?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:31

Yep, I could probably put together a I could probably put together a movie list for for next week, for sure.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:38

Is it we do we have a SDCC movie to watch this year? I haven't paid attention to see what comes out of the year.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:45

Spider-Man comes out after Comic-Con.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:48

It's the weekend after, right? But we got nothing the week of?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:53

That's weird. Not as far as I know. I guess we'll wait and see.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:00

Nothing worth being tired about and going to the theater and sleeping through half the movie. Yeah, that's that's the key, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:09:05

It's gotta be something like that. And if if there if there's nothing, then if Spider-Man was coming out that weekend, we'd probably go, assuming there's a better trailer before then.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:14

When'd Supergirl come out? June? May? June 5th? Well let's see. Something's June. Something's June 5th that I wanted to watch. Because we're not gonna be here for it. We're gonna be in uh June 26th.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:36

Something is June 5th.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:38

June 26th is super then there's some oh July 3rd is the George Washington movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:49

Uh kind of more for Jack, but I guess for both of us. So speaking of uh like not going to WinterCon, hopefully they don't have any good shirts. The uh the Defender shirt is going for$250 on eBay.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:05

Sold or asking? Sold.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:08

I'm looking at completed uh listing. Dang 250. Large 2XL, 2XL, 2XL.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:17

I hope I get something nice like that for Denver so I can go stock up. Dang.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:22

Right? Three XL. So it's not a stock. Yeah. It's not it's not a Roosevelt.com, so um the odds at work.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:35

July 17th. No, what do we got? Evil Dead Burn.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:49

But yeah, no, there's no no nerd movies on the calendar for the week of Comic Con.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:54

That's fine. We can save uh$22 a ticket.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:58

Well, the only well I mean you you guys might see a preview of something at Comic Con. Like they might drop some. That would be the only way they're gonna I'm sure there'd be that.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:10

I'm just trying to think, like like, you know, with Wolverine and Deadpool and Deadpool, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:17

I mean, it's possible that somehow they do a Spider-Man tri um screening.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:25

But if or if if they the plus I guess movie movie dates can switch too. It's kind of late in the game now, but movie dates switch a lot of time for competition. That's true.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:37

I think it's too late to switch anything now. The Odyssey. Maybe the end of the year. The Odyssey comes out. It's a new Nolan movie, so there's no way that they want to go up against that too too close to that. But I'm also sure that's gonna have a giant presence at Comic Con, too. Oh yeah, for sure. Jeez, that one has Tom Holland and Deia and Robert Patterson in it too. The Odyssey. The next Christopher Nolan movie, I'm sure that'll have a huge. They'll probably have a um, what do they call it, the thing upside? Not the panel. Activation. Yeah, the activation. I bet I bet there'll be a giant activation for that, especially because it's on the water and everything. There'll probably be a ship or some some shit. It wouldn't surprise me. Damn, the movie has everybody in it.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:24

It would surprise me. I mean it's Christopher Nolan. Because Comic Con's a week after it comes out.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:30

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:31

If you're trying to promote something. Okay, is it? Okay, sorry. I thought it was after.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:34

I thought it was coming out after. So July 17th.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:39

Yeah. It was like it would make no sense to have anything out of that would have been last year if it was gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:54

And honestly, I don't remember hearing anything about it last year. I don't remember hearing anything about it until like Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:02

They they released, yeah, they released like a short trailer like right around Thanksgiving, and then I think that we've gotten a longer trailer since then, but that's been it. There haven't really been anything about it. It's been it's been super under wraps.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:16

Well, like Jack was saying, everybody's in it. Everybody and their friend of mom's in it. Oh shit, Dr. Dre.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:25

From the NWA movie, not the actual Dr. Dre.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:28

I was like, he's in it too? Oh.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:30

Uh speaking of that, I did read it myself, so wait.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:34

There's an NWA movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:36

Yeah. Straight out of Compton. Straight out of Compton? Yeah. Came out, what, like three years ago?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:42

I'm thinking like they're doing another one here. I was like, wait, what?

SPEAKER_01 1:13:45

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:46

I was gonna say, that shit was like 10 years old.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:47

That movie's like 10 years old. Yeah. Uh speaking of that, I was.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:58

Because the guy who played him in the movie is in the Odyssey. Corey Hawkins is in the movie. Oh, he's in the movie.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:06

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:07

Probably not playing Dr. Dre.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:11

You're still talking about the cast? Are you still talking about the cast of the Odyssey?

SPEAKER_01 1:14:17

Yeah, it also has Spider-Man and The Punisher. And MJ.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:23

And Batman and Catwoman. And the guy from The Martian. That guy. It has Bruno from Encanto. Opie from Sons of Anarchy.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:43

I thought you were gonna say the Andy Griffith show, and I was like, wait, Ron Howard's.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:47

That that's where my mind went.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:49

I'm all I'm daddy Nolan movies. That just shows how old we are, is that we just automatically go to Ron Howard. Bruh, that's a great deal. Fast and the serious. That's because you guys didn't watch Sons of Anarchy, right? I dressed as Opie for one year because people were like, you have a beard like he does. You should be Opie. OP you didn't wear the vest because they would have kicked your ass. Uh I would I just had a black vest on. It didn't have anything on it. There you go. Because I didn't want to put it on it. I didn't want to spend the money. I was like, uh I'll just nothing. It's just um the motorcycle gangs. If you wear the vest with the patches and shit on it, and you're not like in the gang, they will kick your ass and steal your vest.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:38

Stolen Valor.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:40

Stolen Valor.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:42

You gotta earn that shit.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:44

I'm armed, so sure. I'm happy to shoot some people.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:46

So are they.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:52

They'll be trying for a vest. I'll be trying for a pistol.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:55

We're not equal. They already have their guns out, Lou. I'll promote the phone. We already established. Sir, why are you trying to take your pants off? I gotta get to my pistol. Where is it? Is it my butt? All over them.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:15

It's my pistol.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:18

I am cocked and ready to go. Locked cocked.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:21

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:22

Cocked and cocked and ready to go.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:29

Yep, I I pointed all of them. You're in trouble. Better be pissed off than pissed on. That's all I'm saying. Uh ready or not too on Tuesday, Lou?

SPEAKER_03 1:16:56

Probably. I mean, long as long as O'Girl's schedule works, I mean, because we don't I don't know what the times are exactly, I haven't looked, but that is the choice.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:06

Since she saw the first one, was fine with it. I enjoyed that. I'm looking forward to it. That is likely gonna be the plan. And then we'll see. I don't know what next Tues Tuesday's movie is.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:22

Uh no, I haven't watched this one yet. Well, cause um next Tuesday's movie for me will probably be uh They Will Kill You because I I will be the only one to have not seen it yet. Okay. So, but let me take a look.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:38

Yeah, I was gonna say, what comes out this weekend? That could allow for for coming soon next Tuesday.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:48

Uh That's a good question.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:58

I don't think anything's really coming out. I think that's it. No. I mean there's a bunch of there's a bunch of stuff coming out, but I don't think any of it's like of note to us. Yeah, exactly. What's coming out that's worth a damn? That that's I'm looking at it.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:15

Yeah, what's out that's worth a damn?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:19

So let's look at Freddy. You can go watch the forty.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:22

A movie called Forbidden Fruits. Stand by me fortieth anniversary. Um The AI doc or how I became an apocalyptic. They will kill you. And I think that's it. Like, I don't Yeah, everybody's waiting until Mario comes on. Yeah. Like I'm waiting I'm looking at your money.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:45

Is that a Wednesday release?

SPEAKER_01 1:18:49

A bunch of Oscar movies are still showing, so like Sinners, um, Everywhere All at Once, Eternal Sunshine and the Spotless Mind. That movie's 40 years or 30 years old? 40 years old. I was like, god damn. That movie's not 40 years old. 30 years old. Stand by me 40th anniversary. That's what it was. Stand by me has the 40th.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:13

Yeah, that one's 40. I can't believe that's 40.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:20

As we got old. Yeah, I don't understand. Like, like holidays, I get Wednesday releases. I don't know why Mario is a Wednesday release. That makes no sense.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:28

I don't either.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:29

Unless it's like people's spring break.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:31

Yeah, maybe they're trying to catch some spring break people, maybe.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:36

But isn't most spring breaks this week and last week?

SPEAKER_01 1:19:41

Some people still attach it to Easter, and Easter's the 5th.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:45

So well, that would do it if they still attach it to Easter, but sort of, because then it would be the week before Easter, unless because spring break would be after weekend going forward.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:59

Right. So Wednesday is before the break starts on the 30th, then you're not gonna go see the movie on the weekend because yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:10

But wouldn't your spring break if it's night to Easter be wouldn't it be, what is it, Good Friday or Passover, whatever that Friday is before Easter? Passover?

SPEAKER_02 1:20:20

Good Friday. Good Friday. Is it Good Friday? Okay. So now sometimes you go back to school the day after Easter.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:32

Oh wow. See, that would have that wouldn't make any sense to me. Do all your Easter celebrating, yay, zombie Jesus, and then you have Monday off. To recover from the fact you were trying to get out of the way.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:42

Oh, we already had our spring break, nowhere near frickin' Easter, so that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:47

So so did uh old girl's little one. Her middle child, her spring break is this.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:54

But for Easter, they have Friday off, they have Good Friday off, and then a staff development day on Monday.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:04

Okay, so four-day weekend. Yep, for Easter.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:11

Yeah, after uh after uh Mario Odyssey comes out, there's like not any movies come like big movies coming out until Michael. Like on the uh 2 22nd.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:26

Yeah, end of April. And we get Michael and then um Riza has a movie coming out. That's another trailer. Michael looked good. Yeah, it does. And even their teaser trailer was good six months ago.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:47

Sheep Detectives, Mortal Kombat 2.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:50

I finally saw a uh uh preview of Sheep Detectives during Project Hell Mary, and holy shit, that movie looks psychotic. I can't wait to watch it.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:00

Yeah. Same. That was the first time I saw the trailer too. I'm like, yep, we're on it.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:05

Yep, I saw the poster and was like, fuck this for the last couple of months. It's like whatever. Then I saw the trailer yesterday, was like, I'm so watching that movie.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:19

So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:20

Wow, Willy Wonka is 55 years old. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Crazy. Yeah, I got a text message saying get tickets for that. So I already got tickets for it. But yeah, 19th century. The rest of April looks pretty quiet. But yeah, I can effort trailers for sure for next week for us.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:39

So it well, to be fair, it summer doesn't start till May. Like summer movie blockbusters on it. I know summer doesn't officially start in May, but I'm saying the movie season starts.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:49

Yeah, it looks like it's Mandarin Grogu are kind of what's kicking of summer off. Because after that, then stuff is out every week or every other week. It's the worst.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:57

Well, that's disappointing.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:00

A lot of the ten pole potentially shitty movie. But wow, you're very positive. Who's vacuuming right now? What's happening right now? Ghetto birds over Lou's house. I see I don't hear anything.

ob Hunt Work Boundaries And Tuning Out

SPEAKER_03 1:23:19

Um like seriously, I don't hear anything like that at all. Definitely not here.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:23

Jack, did we get all your did we get all your check boxes off on your list? Yep, yep. I hit all my stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:30

Good to go. Lou, have you done any white people shit lately? He applied for a job.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:38

Yeah, I was gonna say, applying for jobs. I guess that could be considered white people shit for sure. Well, unless you're unless you're like rednecky, trailer trash, white people. Not those, but other normal white people, yeah. Applied for three that I that I was so interested in. So we'll see, we'll see what happens. I'll have I'll have a better idea by Wednesday, I think, how that goes.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:02

Fingers crossed for you.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:03

So yeah, it was like well, I appreciate it. It was like, yep, you said you got bills to pay, you got fun stuff you want to do for the next 10 years. Um see what happens. So yeah. Kind of kind of like, alright, I ain't gonna lie, you get kind of bored after a while, right? It's like, can can we do something now?

SPEAKER_02 1:24:23

Yeah, yeah. Time to drive. I don't want to drive far to go to work.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:30

No, you start getting old and you just kinda you just gotta find something that makes you happy enough, right? Uh oh, Lou, we talked about last week.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:41

Well, the key the key is can I can I uh can I tune out to some shit? That's gonna be the key. I mean, whatever kind of job I get, I gotta be able to understand something my dad always said, and you know, this is your job, not your business. Like, stop giving a fuck so much. Care about what you do. Don't worry about the company and the politics and all the business crap behind it. Just do your job and don't worry about anything else. And I have trouble doing that because if I have a co-worker who's struggling, need help, I'm gonna help them. I can't help but to like, I know I can help him, so why wouldn't I? Um, which is funny because obviously I don't do that in politics. Because you know I'm I'm so anti-socialism, all that crap. But I think I think I think the reason why now I think about that, I say that out loud, it's because it's forced. I don't want the government to force me to do some shit. I want to volunteer. And I'm happy to volunteer for certain things. Like if I it's like when if I see somebody struggling, you know, you see a homeless person like we talked about before, and they need food or whatever, I'm happy to do something for it. But that's because I'm choosing to do it and it's not forced on me. That's the main thing. And at work, if I have a code, especially I've been I especially back in the HOA world that I had done, you know, 20 plus years of. If there's a new person or even a veteran and they're still struggling, well, I know here's the easy way, here's how to solve it, let me go help you. But then it takes away from what I'm doing, and now their stress becomes my stress, their problem is my problem. And that's where I need to learn to just like check out. Nope, that's not you, buddy. This is how you do it.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:07

Have fun. I'm going back to my job.

SPEAKER_00 1:26:10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:11

Show them how to do it. Don't do their job for them.

hould Lou Do Sports Radio

SPEAKER_03 1:26:15

Yeah. I need to learn how to keep my door closed, too. It's like, dude, just don't bug me. Because if I could do my job, I could I could do my the eight-hour job, I'm done in four hours if I'm not bothered. And honestly, three of that hours is like fucking emails, man. There's so many out 120 emails a day and what are you supposed to do? That's just the nature of the business.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:38

Uh something that came up last week, Lou. My old girl was wondering why you aren't in sports radio. She says, use your your voice and what you and how you talk about things when in regards to sports. She goes, Why isn't he in sports radio? And I go, I don't know, but you're right. Like because like I mean, you would hit all the markers for like a sports radio guy. Like you're super knowledgeable about things, you're very uh you're very argumentative, and like you like sports. So like you have your likes and your dislikes, you know, but like all of those, you know, like your knowledge of stuff is is is crazy good. So it doesn't make any sense why you wouldn't be taking advantage of that. So she was just wondering, she was like, why doesn't Lou do sports radio? And I was like, I don't know, I'll ask him.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:26

Yeah, no, well, time for Lou's second test uh from me to her. But um, yeah, I don't honestly I had never thought about that, but I suppose you're not wrong, or she's not wrong. I didn't really think about it, but um the arguing part especially. But but at least at least when I'm arguing about sports, I usually have a position uh of the stand on, and then I try to back it up. I defend that position uh based off of you know, that's interesting. Maybe maybe we'll we'll have to have a second podcast and we'll just talk call it vaguely sports talk. And we only talk sports on vaguely sports talk. Vaguely sports. We bounce around and when we get to hockey, Duke kind of just bows his head, takes a nap.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:11

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:12

I just am like although although you now that you have a team, you would participate in the WNBA conversations.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:21

There you go. Yeah, I could I could and then I'll do the I'll do the women's soccer all by myself. You guys can just tune out for a minute and I'll just be like so The thorns this week.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:30

Yeah, you are. I mean, I love me I love me some soccer and I still follow the DL. It's like, man, you start getting into women's soccer though, it's like uh unless it's the national team.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:44

Oh, I also got uh professional I'll also have professional uh women's softball to talk about too.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:52

Yeah, what was the other one that Yeah, just starting, the softball we talked about last time. You're right. Forgot about that two weeks ago.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:58

Yeah, we'll have to you know we'll have to mull that over. I mean the problem is Lou, we would have to get somebody who like knows enough of the counterpoints to your arguments, if that makes sense. Like that's what makes a good sports podcast is that you have like your opinion, and then you have somebody who's as knowledgeable but on the other side of that. Like, I hate the Broncos, I love the Broncos, and then being able to have that that dialogue. So you'll have to you'll have to find somebody around you.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:30

Uh guests. Yeah, we'd have we'd have to have guests on for sure. Um because we don't we you're right, we don't want an echo chamber when it comes to stuff like that. We we want the the collision.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:46

Yeah. That's what gets that's what gets people uh that's what gets ratings. Something to think about, something to maybe, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:56

I think that's why Yeah, I was gonna say that's probably why why sports for us in football season is is so much more entertaining for everybody else because the three of us don't have the same teams. So it makes it fun.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:11

But but the nice but and and the nice thing is that our teams don't necessarily overlap with each other. So it's not like it's not like you're a um Chiefs fan and Jack's a Raiders fan. So there's a natural animosity there. You know, like all of the teams that we like are all very very like there's you know, there's a little crossover, but there's no there's separation. There's separation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's there's no uh there's no adversity.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:39

And the the part that overlaps usually the teams that we hate, like the Packers. Yeah or the Broncos.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:46

Right? Yeah. We can all agree on the hate.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:50

Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. For real. It's a mutual hate.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:56

But I also feel like, too, we also all three of us appre when it comes to football, we all appreciate good players, regardless of who they play for. Like I can say Barry Sanders is one of the best running backs in the world, even though he played for even though he played for a rival team. Like I can look at it and go, you know what? This person on this team, even though I hated the fact that they were a team that I hated, like, yeah, that you know, I can appreciate Calvin Johnson being one of the greatest underappreciated wide receivers, you know, for example.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:30

Like I mean, I can appreciate Ed Reid and Ray Lewis murder, but I'm trying to think of any of the Ravens that I can appreciate.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:42

I'm not sure. T Sizzle? Come on, T Sizzle. He's got the nickname T Sizzle, come on.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:49

But he's so he's he's such a Negro, man. He's dug all the way around. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Uh Bengals, I current like there, there, there, there's some Bengals in the past that, yeah, I could appreciate some of the Bengals. Um even now. Obviously, I know how good Jamar Chase is, Joe Burrow, you know.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:18

Nobody's responsible.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:19

I was gonna say Hendrickson, but he ain't there anymore.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:22

No. He was the backup plan for Crosby, I guess.

FL Draft Trades And Paying The Price

SPEAKER_02 1:32:27

Yeah. That's gonna be interesting.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:31

If Crosby's gonna be around, yeah, we got a month before the season we'll have to play it out.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:36

We'll we'll have to jump into a uh like the week before the draft, we'll have to jump into the three of us, I'll have to do some offline work and we'll have to jump in here and do like a draft before. That'll be the the week before the draft is when we can jump in here and do a mock draft for our teams and do a mock draft for just overall to see how things pan out. That'll be exciting.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:00

Yeah, there I would be curious like who you guys want for your team versus who you need for your team and who you actually get.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:08

Yeah, exactly. Like based on the statistics as far as how everybody else.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:14

I mean, at least you're in good shape in your quarterback room. You got Kyler Murray, so you're good to go.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:21

Well, I mean, now our our ours is full. Like our quarterback room is now full. It's kind of crazy. Because they resold Mr. Wentz.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:29

What'd you bring back also? Yeah, it was Wentz. I mean, again, Jack gets number one pick quarterback.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:36

Yeah, I mean, he's picking Mendoza. He doesn't need to take part in this, Lou. This will be for us. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:42

Right, I know, right? But you know, move on.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:46

But like, I would be interested though, for like from Jack's perspective, what like, yes, you're gonna take Mendoza at one, but let's say a team pulls up the fucking Brinkstrucker draft picks. Like, what would it take for you to trade that number one pick? Right? You'd have to give us like a real quarterback.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:05

It would be no, no, it would be three three ones and a workable quarterback. Because the three ones over the next few years, one of them's gonna be a quarterback, just get a quarterback next year, no big deal. But now that you have that quarterback for your with one of your one picks, you use the other two ones to get you the number one receiver that you need for that defensive side to start building that team. I mean, as long as what you're getting is to future build your team, uh it could be argued that the whole thing we're taking Mendoza and that's all there is to it. No, if you're gonna give me three number ones, we can talk. But you also have to give me a backup quarterback that can at least be manageable until we get our quarterback. Because if if you give up that pick, you're not getting Mendoza, and there's not really anybody else in the draft you want to take this year. But next year, there's several.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:56

Yeah. So you use one of the things. Next year I've heard next year's draft is supposed to be super deep, so that'd be something. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we could talk about that in a couple weeks, because I think we have a month and so.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:08

So if the draft, but who's gonna do that though, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:35:13

Drafts in, yeah, almost a But again, I wouldn't again, it's it's it's it's theory. What would it take for you? But um, yeah, but it's theorycrafting. Like, what would it take for you to move up? What would it take for me to move up and get a team, get to a team that I could guarantee to get whatever player I'm looking for? Do I need to move up? Do I wait? Like, at what point do we pull the trigger at that type of thing? So but yeah, I mean that'll probably be something we could talk about kind of offline a little bit and then come into the podcast and kind of have some show and tell and have a conversation about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:49

But yeah, all these fools talk about oh, I'm sticking this. I'm like, look, there's a there's there is a price for everything, so don't even give me that. Yep. Agreed. The only question is is the some team willing to pay that price? It's like, oh Baltimore, we're not getting rid of Lamar Jackson. Like, some team came with you for the right deal, you get rid of Lamar Jackson. Bye. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:10

See ya. Yeah. Again, somebody came for the right price for Max Crosby. Like, I mean, they backed out of it, supposedly. But but but my point is right. But my point is the the trade actually did happen. Like, if they wouldn't have backed out of it, like that trade would have happened. And that's pretty to me, that's wild. Like, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:31

It'll be interesting to see in the long term how you know.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:35

Yeah. Well, it'll be interesting to see too how you know if Max changes his his tune or whatever.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:42

Like he already has. Has he? Part of the story that came out with all this, yeah, was he didn't even meet the owner of the Baltimore Ravens. It's like they were basically checked out almost instantly after the examination. Yep.

unknown 1:36:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:58

So there was a lot of He just sat there and did his thing, and they didn't even come to say hi to him at all until he was about to get on the plane to leave.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:07

Yep. And they and they hooked him up with the private jet to get him out, get him in and get him out. So it was like, bye, we don't trust your knee. I don't think that's what happened, but whatever. I think what really happened was um Hendrickson's agent was like, hey, if you're looking, you can get a younger Max Crosby uh and not have to worry about the risk. Uh again, because all the doctors said his knee is healing just fine. He's on pace to be exactly where he's supposed to be, and he will be fine. So I just think they actually uh got that like, oh shit, Hendrickson was available? Well, let's go get him instead. And they used the knee as an excuse to get out of it. That's what I think.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:50

Because then they didn't have to go with the draft picks.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:53

He was done with Cincinnati. So and they wouldn't have exactly they get to keep their draft picks, still have their edge, um, and use those draft picks to get Joe Burrow an actual freaking offensive line so he can actually, I don't know, finish the season for once.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:07

Well, and also just like we were, I mean, we've talked about this a couple times. Like, there's no way the Bengals have the money to pay Hendrickson because they're already paying Burrow and they're already paying THC. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're already paying uh, you know, they're already playing Jamar Chase. They don't have the money to give out another$45 million a year to a defensive player.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:25

And that was established last year when they when they told them though with the franchise tag, they're like, look, it'll be one year. We're not gonna tag you. You just give us one year. And he's like, fine, okay, he did it, and he's like, Out, I'm I'm out. So at the end of the day, it's a win. That's what the Bengals wanted by putting all that money in offense. They knew what they're getting themselves into. Um, he gets to go to a team that's obviously a playoff contender. Um, I'm not sure if they're a Super Bowl contender. I just don't trust Lamar. Uh, but they're definitely a playoff contender. So it's like, all right, they can get you to the title game. Can't win the title game.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:59

They can get you there.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:03

So yeah, we'll see how it plays out. I mean, we got like you said, draft is four weeks draft.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:11

And then we start getting into shit. Yeah, mini mini camp. Rookie camp, and then followed up by minicamp. And then before you know it, we'll be in training camp. And then we'll be talking about football again every week. Basically the Super Bowl, all right.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:27

OTAs, training camp.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:28

Yeah, OTAs, yep. Yep. Real exciting stuff.
