Secret movies are supposed to be secret, but we can’t help ourselves. We start with opening weekend sports chatter, bounce through a Golden Knights coaching shakeup, and somehow end up deep in the math of MLB scheduling, series formats, and why league “balanced schedules” still confuse everybody.
Then the conversation turns into pure pop culture whiplash: mystery movie night reactions, sequel expectations, and why studios should stop handing out clues like runtimes and genre tags if they want Screen Unseen nights to stay fun. We also get into what happens when a franchise expands its world too late and why sometimes you just want the movie to commit to the chaos.
From there it’s games and streaming. We talk Assassin’s Creed achievement drops, retro game collections like Jurassic Park, and why rewind features make old-school difficulty finally enjoyable. We also vent about Netflix price increases, sports broadcast exclusivity, and the messy reality of needing a pile of apps just to follow MLB or the NFL.
If you like a conversational podcast that feels like a group chat with better microphones, hit play, subscribe, and share it with a friend who loves sports, movies, and arguing about pizza. What’s the one streaming service you’d cancel today?

Cold Open And Off Limits Topics
SPEAKER_00We just talked for fucking 25 minutes. Jack's late where we just talk about. Yeah, we're gonna talk for we're gonna talk for 20 minutes before the pod.
SPEAKER_01We had the pre the pre because we don't want that information on the pod because we might get banned. Or I would. No. Like that topic? No, we're staying away from that one. We'll move on to to movies and Yoshi popcorn buckets and and Rocky popcorn buckets.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, there you go.
Opening Weekend Sports Check-In
SPEAKER_01That are sold out, apparently. Well, the Rocky one at least.
SPEAKER_02Uh first off, hello everyone. Welcome. Welcome to the podcast. Hello, you're doing that you're doing that polite, polite. Hi boys. Hey.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Hello then.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Happy opening weekend.
SPEAKER_01Baseball Dodgers 3-0.
SPEAKER_02Did you say those Otani cups?
SPEAKER_01Otani cups. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02No$75 Otani cups. But it refills all seasons.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, season tickets. That's totally worth it.
SPEAKER_02Wait, what?$75 what? Otani buck uh otani cups? Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They were they did that. I mean, I think some um we when we went to We went to the See the Mariners, I don't know, half a dozen seasons ago. They had cut refillable, like the if you bought the souvenir cups, you could go back and refill like as many times. Like it's so we grabbed a bunch, took them home with us, and then when we went to the game the next day, we took them with us and we still got or it was like a dollar or something like that. It wasn't I think they were free though. I think it was free. So I think that's that's I think that's pretty standard. If you're gonna pay$22 for a cup or whatever, they're like, yeah, we it's fine. Because they know 85 to 90% of those people just leave the cups in the stands and then they'll hose them into the dumpster at the end of the match. Yeah, I'm I thought about the Raiders stadium, though. You like pay your three bucks for your soda and just refills the whole game?
SPEAKER_01Sign that shit up for free.
SPEAKER_03That's true.
SPEAKER_02Yep. You can get a free drink at Raiders games by promising not to drink. Which is hard as a Raiders fan because you just do it before and after. Right. Oh my god. When you when you show up already drunk off your ass, it's fine to just.
SPEAKER_03Oh man.
Golden Knights Coach Firing Debate
SPEAKER_01But yeah, I I I uh celebrated. I'm not a huge baseball fan. I'll follow. I'll keep track mainly of like how the season's going. Very rare uh that I'll watch a nine-inning game. You can you can get me in for a couple innings a game, but after that I'm I can just over it. The only way it'll be on for a whole game is if I'm doing something else. Like if I'm on my lap, like if there was a game on right now, if the Dodgers were playing it right now and I had access to it, I could have the game up right now on my screen while I'm doing this, and I would miss three innings and not miss three innings. So um now, come playoff time though. It's really weird. It's like basketball. Uh basketball, I've I don't think I've seen a full game all season, and there's only like 10 games left in the regular season uh for all the teams, uh, ten or less. Um but playoff time, I'll definitely pay attention more. I can't say I'll still watch any more of it, but I will pay attention. Um and and hockey's pissing me off, and and Vegas fired their coach, so um he needed it.
SPEAKER_02They they're they've won like what two games since they came back from the Olympics.
SPEAKER_01So I mean, not to mention before the Olympics, there was they lost six to seven after winning like seven straights. So they were going downhill fast. There's an opportunity with the half of like six games left if they could lose their playoff spot. So you gotta shake it up somehow, and this is how they're doing it. Which which though is still kind of weird because they have one of the one of the Do you guys agree with that? Like is that I have to say yes. Shaking up some sometimes helps. The problem is their defense isn't all that horrible. They have one of the best goals against averages other than five on five. Five on five are one of the worst. Their goalkeeping is at like uh 880 or something like that, so 88%, which is obviously not good. You can't have that. And this reminds me, it goes back to the if I if I want to compare it to football, this goes back to uh Tony Dungey uh uh getting booted from Tampa and Gruden coming in and winning a title with with uh Grudy with uh Tony Dungey's team. Or Tony Dungey going to the Colts and you know winning at the Colts with the uh I think it was Ted Martibrota's team. Uh that is absolutely ridiculous. But that it happens, but it does sometimes that does boost you up. And this coach that we're getting in, he's done it before. Uh I want to say at Tampa. He, you know, he he jumped in on an 01, uh ended up winning a title in Tampa in 04. So if he can figure out, I mean that Vegas has the players to at least get to the Western Conference Finals just to get beat by Minnesota or uh Colorado, but they they're still decent. But it's it's just sometimes these shakeups do what they need to do. It's like you we've all seen it in the NFL, right? You fire a coach midseason, and the very next game they win a game they shouldn't. And then they come back down to reality and they lose the rest of their games. That's usually what happens. So if this gets them at least to glitch a playoff spot, then I mean that was the that was the Raiders two years ago, right?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. That was the Raiders two years ago when they let their coach go halfway through and then they won some game they had no business at all winning. Yep. And then they went right back down to the media.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and then you get yeah, exactly. Uh so the I don't know, maybe the message was stale uh from from the current coach or the past coach, and it's like you just got to move on. Kind of kind of like uh what happened with Pete Carroll, because your message just gets stale, and you got a new guy coming in, you have talent on the team. Now we're gonna see if he can put it together. Unfortunately, you know, you got a game tomorrow uh and you have one day of practice with the new coach, and you're gonna see what's gonna happen. But uh yeah, to answer your question uh 20 minutes later, to answer your comeback around, yes, I think it was a good idea. Uh it needed to happen just because of the last two months and how it looked for it for the nights the last couple of months.
SPEAKER_03So they haven't been scoring for shit. You can't even blame defense on that. They haven't been scoring either. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Yeah, okay, cool.
College Basketball Collapse Rant
SPEAKER_01So um but yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, baseball season with hockey in between. And some football thrown in there as well. Um I I obviously I'm a I'm a Dodgers fan.
SPEAKER_02And basketball, you're right. What did we not cover?
SPEAKER_01College basketball, we didn't cover that with the tournament going on.
SPEAKER_02Just lame.
SPEAKER_01I mean, I I I mean, UCLA, not UCLA, uh Duke, Duke, Duke UConn. UConn should not have won that game. Duke absolutely got out coached. The players got outplayed, they were up 72-70 with like 10 seconds to go, and they couldn't inbound the ball and get across. They they got the ball stolen. It's like you passed it down court where nobody, it was like all five defenders for UConn were on one side with three Duke players. Just throw the ball to the other half, and somebody for your team, there's two over there, will get it. Nope. Ended up deflected, ended up getting the turnover, ended up uh UConn hitting a three-pointer with 0.3 seconds left. And it was like they win 73-72. I don't care about our team again. It's college basketball. It's just I hate bad play, like I've always said. Uh, and even in this sport I don't care about, about which I do not care. It was still bad play. And I didn't watch it, I watched the replay because obviously I wasn't watching this game. It's like, oh, miraculous play. And I'm like, oh, let me go see what happened. And I watched it, and my first thought was that was terrible offense, terrible coaching. Uh you can't move the ball across the court. What is wrong with you people? And then I went back to what I was doing, and that was the end of that. Oh, man. Uh, baseball, Dodgers fan. Yeah, back to baseball. Dodgers fan. I know people hate them because they spend money. Oh well. I mean, you have a team that can spend money too. The Dodgers aren't doing anything that other teams are not allowed to do. They they're I mean, you could do it, they just don't. Uh Rockies went 0-3 out here in Colorado. Dodgers went 3-0, Rockies went 0-3. It was a good weekend at baseball. I Minnesota do.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah.
MLB Scheduling And Series Logic
SPEAKER_01I have Minnesota. I didn't pay attention.
SPEAKER_02Uh 1-2.
SPEAKER_01Who'd they play?
SPEAKER_02One and two this weekend against the Orioles. Yeah, I'm gonna say that.
SPEAKER_01That's fair.
SPEAKER_03Orioles.
SPEAKER_02So I have to see when they're playing um the Mariners. See if I can make my way up to Seattle for that series.
SPEAKER_01They're it's probably gonna be the same. They're both American League, so you should have a couple opportunities to go. So I think like the Dodgers and Rockies, they play twice uh two two series. So I can go, hey, I don't make it in July, fine, I'll go in August.
SPEAKER_02So I think it's so I think the way the schedule usually works is that you play everybody in your league at least once. You play people in your division like four to five times, I think. And then you play everybody in the other league, you alternate locations every year, at least. But so like if last year the twin I think the twins came to the twins came to to uh California and played the played the Dodgers, then they played the down there. It just made sense schedule-wise, but I think this year the Dodgers are actually going to the that's in that's the the two different leagues though.
SPEAKER_01But I think if they do if they're your your teams are both in the American league, right?
SPEAKER_02But I'm saying like inner division, like yeah, but I think they might do a home and home if they do anything. Okay. So like the twins will come and visit the Mariners, but then the Mariners are also going to sit the twins. So so yeah, they might do it might be two series, but there's only going to be one series in Seattle.
SPEAKER_01Okay, see, I thought I thought America, I thought the leagues played each other at least twice home, twice away, and only once home, once away if it's cross league, and then three to five times if it's uh division. Yeah, I I'm curious how like like basketball. Basketball used to be when the teams were set, you would play like your division or something like that, your conference four times. They changed that in the last several years, and now they only play three times. Um, for example, the Lakers and the Nuggets, they played three times with the Lakers winning twice. We'll put that out there, of the three. Um, and nothing unbiased or anything. Um like I said, it used to be used to be four, but now it's now it's three. So I don't know why they change. I guess so so for the other league when the East wants to play the West, stuff like that, your fans could see the star players from the other league, um, or the other conference rather, uh, more regularly. You know, sell tickets. You know how it goes. It's all about selling tickets.
SPEAKER_02So this is two years old, so it might so it might not be completely correct, because they always every year they seem to tweak it just a little bit. But the answer I see on here from uh on Reddit from a couple years ago is one series home or away versus 15 teams in the other league, which are about those 45 games. But all the all of the games series are three. So it's three, it's always three games. One series home and away versus the ten non-division teams in your half, AL or NL. Two series home and two series away versus your four division rivals for a total of 15 games. That comes out one game short, and that's where the league uses four-game series with an interleague opponent that's a bit more interesting to do than an annual two-game home and away to create annual regional rivalries. So that's how it's explained here. I I'm I think that's pretty accurate.
SPEAKER_01Um it's not it's not anymore, but of the the like the two-game series, because sometimes you'll get a three-game series with the cross league. Uh sometimes you will get two. Uh, but then again, like last year, there were a couple that were just I'm like, because usually it the series is a three-game or four-game series. Um, and then there were some that were two, and like that explained, it was the the cross league games, but there were some cross leagues that went three. And I was like, oh, well, I suppose that makes sense. Um I'm check, I'm actually just checking the Mariner schedule right now, and in April, the Mariners go to the twins. Um have you been have you been to uh Seattle game yet since you've been up there?
SPEAKER_03Oh, okay. Okay. Uh yeah.
unknownYep.
SPEAKER_01Where'd you go see last year? Was it the Twins again? Was it Twins? The Twins and Mariners. Uh Twins, Twins at Mariners. Yeah. Friday Friday. Yeah. That's generally that's I know, but like I would go watch uh the Broncos and the Chargers. I mean, I've done that before. I don't care about either team, but it's football.
SPEAKER_02Well, that's that we were going we were going up for a contest.
SPEAKER_01All right, so if you're if you're gonna do it this year, twins after Meriters, Friday, July 31st, uh, August 1st, and August 2nd. So there's your window. Based on I'm looking at I'm finding I'm finishing this up. That is that is confirmed. That is your only three three uh game weekend you got with uh oh I'm I I I'm guessing the weekend, I don't know what day of the week the 31st, first, and second are, but uh whatever that is. So that'd be kind of cool.
SPEAKER_03So according to Wikipedia Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
SPEAKER_02Beginning with the 2025 Yeah was it is it a Monday, Tuesday? Beginning with the 2025 season, teams play a balanced schedule as follows. Thirteen games are played against each of the other four divisions in teams in their own division, uh six or seven games against each of the other ten teams in their own league, six games against one six seven or six two um six six games against one geographic rival from the other league, and three games against each of the other fourteen teams from the other league. Under this schedule, divisional games consist of two three or four game series, interleague games consist of three or four-game series, and the inner league games consist of two three-game series against the geographic rival and a single three-game series against the other inter league opponents, the home team alternating every year.
SPEAKER_01Who is Seattle's geographical writer?
SPEAKER_03Probably be the certainly the closest, especially with Oakland of a Giants, more like it, you know what I'm saying?
Team Moves Names And Trademarks
SPEAKER_02So I mean Yeah. It would probably yeah, as far as inner league, that's probably the closest that you're gonna yeah. So the rest of the West Coast is gonna be interesting for them to f now that the A's aren't around anymore, it'll be interesting to see who they I mean eventually it'll end up being the Vegas A's or Vegas, whatever they're called.
SPEAKER_01Uh are they keeping the A's check?
SPEAKER_02The Vegas inconsistence.
SPEAKER_03Vegas uh I think they can't.
SPEAKER_02Because the Oakland has it trade Oh the city of Oakland has it trademarked, right? I think that's what it was. Uh yeah, there's some kind of trademark on the case.
SPEAKER_01Is the trademark yeah, but they could be loopholes. Is the trademark for the uh for all A's or for the athletics?
SPEAKER_03I think it's for both. Hmm. Bitch ass Oakland. Let me see.
SPEAKER_02What's the last news that they have about it?
SPEAKER_01Like, I mean, I don't know. I've always been a fan of of keeping the name, new city, all the records stay. And if you're an expansion team, that's when that's from scratch. Everything starts off if you're an expansion team. Like the NBA. When the when the Vegas basketball team starts, it should all be brand new. Don't move the fucking Charlotte Hornets to Vegas. Don't move the Pelicans and New Orleans to Vegas. Expansion team. All things start fresh. So whatever. It's kind of like the women's WNBA, right? WNBA. Yeah, the uh Connecticut. Connecticut's moving back to Houston. I don't say back to Houston, I'm moving to Houston. Houston already had a team. It was the Comets. They're resurrecting the Houston Comics name. And all their it's like, oh man, I mean, whatever. Fine. Anyway, trademark, go ahead.
SPEAKER_02Um, the A's were basically like bringing up old shit, so that makes sense. The A's were told the nickname athletics was too generic and could be confused with other activities, even if associated with Las Vegas. Um, that's false. Las Vegas A's. So they just won't I guess they won't be the Las Vegas Athletics. So the A's is fine, but they just won't be the athletics.
SPEAKER_01And the A can stand for anything at that point.
SPEAKER_02Well, we do have the Las Vegas Athletic Club.
SPEAKER_01That could be confusing for some people.
SPEAKER_02L VAC. So I could eh. I could.
SPEAKER_01It could be confused like websites. Some people are like, I'm gonna sue because I have this name. We're the Las Vegas Athletic Club. I'm like, yeah, but you're not the athletics. That's not the same thing. I think the L VAC would lose that lawsuit if they tried, but they still would probably try.
SPEAKER_03Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01Well, they could also do like the Knights and be called Vegas and not Las Vegas, which actually I do do not like. Vegas is not a thing. Las Vegas is.
SPEAKER_02Well, I and I think the MLB is also telling the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that they have to revert back to being the Anaheim Angels. I agree. I saw that as a headline, I saw that as a headline somewhere where they but they basically put their foot down and said, you cannot, you cannot, you cannot dick ride on the Dodgers anymore. You're not in fucking Los Angeles. You are in working Anaheim. It literally takes three hours to get from your stadium to the Dodgers stadium. You can become the Orange County Angels. That would be appropriate. But yeah.
SPEAKER_01See, that'd be alright. OC Angels.
SPEAKER_02I fucking when they put I lived down there when they made that change, and I thought it was the stupid fucking. Yeah, we thought it was a stupid thing.
SPEAKER_01I thought California Angels was fine, man.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, because I was back like when we were hanging out all the time, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, generic it, making the whole state. California Angels was perfectly fine.
SPEAKER_01Whatever. Is it one, two, what what are they what do they got? One, two. Look at all the things. One, two, a three, a four. Two in LA, one in San Diego, San Francisco, and Oakland. They had five teams in that state at one point? Jesus. That's crazy. I'm gonna say San Diego had a basketball team, but they're the Clippers now.
SPEAKER_02And now there's gonna be in a couple years, Jackson had an NBA team, so his family's gonna be super poor. All those season tickets. All those season tickets. Nope, fuck that. I'm still only going on Star Wars night. Star Wars night's. Don't worry. My uh my my float Well by 2028, let's be real, by 2028, there's not gonna be a Funko night.
SPEAKER_01Sure, that's probably true. My my parents will hook you up because my parents will hook you up. My parents want season tickets to basketball. So when Jack needs to get when Jack needs to go to Star Wars night, and as long as it's not the Lakers coming to town, uh Jack will Jack will have access to tickets, it'll be fine.
SPEAKER_02Those two goddamn games. Or sell all the tickets.
SPEAKER_01Your family would cost you 20 grand minimum to get four tickets.
Season Ticket Costs And Internet Lag
SPEAKER_02Minimum Especially for a brand new stadium and shit. Dude, I was hearing some stuff for just even getting on the list for some of these stadiums for not I I don't know specific teams, but like Some of the bigger uh locations, like just even to get on the waiting list, you have to put like a five thousand dollar deposit down. Like they know, like, hey, like, just put my name on the list and give me a call.
SPEAKER_01As long as it's refundable, I wouldn't care.
SPEAKER_02It's you're already like committing money for something that you may I don't think it is. I think they fucking take it. Like, you're you're committing money to be, you know, you can't call back in two years and say, hey, I need that money back. Nah, they already spent that money, son. That money's gone. You know, they don't that that money isn't being kept for when your name comes up on the list. That money is being used to fund some sort of upgrade or something.
SPEAKER_01I doubt that because they still gotta get they get money every year off the ticket holder. They can give you money back. I'm just but it they could just have a rule that it's not refundable and you just have to own it. And that's and if you die or whatever, you're just asked out. I mean, you you're gonna have to let me know ahead of time. Like if it's refundable, fine, I'll do it. If not, I don't I don't care. Red zone works perfectly fine.
SPEAKER_03Yes. Red zone, red zone is perfectly good.
SPEAKER_01But yeah, but if it's refundable, I don't I don't I don't understand why anybody would hesitate on the street.
SPEAKER_02You guys had a Monday movie.
SPEAKER_01No reason.
SPEAKER_02Oh, sorry, Lou, I didn't know you.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you know what? I think I know there's seems like there's a delay. I uh this happened last week too. There was an absolute delay last week on some of the stuff, and it's happening again, but whatever, it is what it is. But no, no, that was all.
SPEAKER_03Your internet isn't completely.
SPEAKER_02You mean So now we're just gonna have to wait like two Jack and I will have to wait like five seconds after we make a comment just to make sure Lou doesn't have something else. Yeah, like when they're watching the news. Like, how is it out there, Bob?
SPEAKER_00Ah, right?
Mystery Movie Nonspoiler Reactions
SPEAKER_02It's gonna rain. Wait, are you laughing at my waiting? Alright, well, this should be interesting then, right? Uh so you guys had a mystery movie. I'm gonna see it on Tuesday. Can you guys do a non-spoiler uh review of it now? Um, you know what? It was like Quentin Tarantino made an anime movie, dude. The trailer did the trailer live up to the hype. Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yep. Um, I didn't know um like who the bad guys were. Like the twist to the bad guys before I watched the movie. Yeah. So I was I was like, how are they all dead? Like she's gonna keep killing everybody. But they explain it. And um freaking Draco had a snake bracelet on.
SPEAKER_01That that was pretty cool.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, sec uh what second week in a row that we've uh that that we're seeing uh or two two weeks in the two movies in the last three weeks. I'll see where uh people who have been become famous because of other uh series um are in it as bad guys. So was it two weeks ago with Elijah Wood and Ready or Not Two?
SPEAKER_03He wasn't a bad guy in that. Now we're watching Tom Felton.
SPEAKER_01Lewis approached the he was totally not a bad guy in that. He was he was just a lawyer.
SPEAKER_02How can you say he's not a bad guy when he knows exactly what's gonna happen, and that motherfucker is hiding behind the podium every single time that was funny?
SPEAKER_01But but he that doesn't make me a bad guy. He his job is to enforce rules. I love I loved his character.
SPEAKER_02I mean Lou, he's a lawyer, he's he's a lawyer. I mean he's already a bad guy.
SPEAKER_01There is that. There is that. But he did enforce rules, and that's really his only job.
SPEAKER_02When he chose the career of lawyer, he was automatically a bad guy. But how do you not appreciate I mean it goes back to the the first Clerks movie. Oh yeah. I mean The guy's built on the Death Star.
SPEAKER_01They knew what they were doing, they that's the risk they take. Just because you work for a bad guy don't make you the bad guy, though.
SPEAKER_02Right, but you know what you're stepping in.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely, you know what you're stepping in. But I just thought he was there to enforce rules and execute execute rules, and I was like, I like this guy.
SPEAKER_03Like I could have that job.
SPEAKER_01I don't know if law school can handle me. Let's be real. Law school could not handle me. All my professors would be like, get out, get out of my classroom.
SPEAKER_02Sir, you are dismissed. Sir, sir.
SPEAKER_01I've already said it once, you need to go.
SPEAKER_02Uh I watched that. All right, well legally blonde three. L takes Lou to law school. That'd be awesome.
SPEAKER_01Oh man.
SPEAKER_02I would say legally black, but that probably would be like a current parody of legally blonde. Legally blacked.
SPEAKER_00Oh man.
SPEAKER_02Black or being cartoon. You're getting thrown out. Lou, I wouldn't saw Lou, I wouldn't saw the movie you Lou, I saw the movie you were in. I didn't see you though. I'm in I'm in the sequel. It was it was weird.
SPEAKER_03I'm in the sequel of Call Black Bald.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_02I will tell you one disappointing thing about the movie, Lou, or D. She does put pants on after the first half hour.
SPEAKER_01She has not her driving. I had two two complaints. That was one of them. I was like, how's she gonna put her how's she gonna put some pants on? And then the second one, the second one was they didn't spend enough time on level two. That's about it. That's all I won't tell you what that means.
SPEAKER_02I like how I love that your number one complaint was pants. I mean, that's my story of my life. My number one complaint is that I have to put pants on.
Trailer Homework Gets Postponed
SPEAKER_01Well, that was my problem today. I'm all ready to go on this pod, and I'm all like, man, I gotta put some shorts on. What if I stand up accidentally? Shit. You know something, right? Pants coming around to screw things up.
SPEAKER_02So if you listened to last week's pod, you know that uh I put a bunch of trailers together for my boys. Some of them we probably have seen and been out for a while, and some of them I I was trying to I always try to give you guys a variety. Um I will say that Netflix is fucking coming out hard and heavy with their trailers for their year for the year, dude. It's kind of wild. Like I was a confession, I didn't watch shit.
SPEAKER_01Should we save it for next week? What? Right? I'm looking at the email now. We got the email on Friday, son. Two days ago. How long did it take you to watch trailers?
SPEAKER_02Look, little one was away on camp, so I slept all day and I did shit that I can do with it. You could have laid in bed and watched the trailers, dude. I sure couldn't.
SPEAKER_01Alright, so we'll save it for next Sunday. We'll save it for next Sunday. That's fine. No, no, no. It's fine. We'll save it for next Sunday. That way we get the full oh shit. Now everything's frozen.

SPEAKER_02Can you do it in a week, Jack? If I give you another week. You know what? You know what I'll do and go to bed tonight. Alright. After the pod. Which which doesn't fight a week from now you're gonna be like, I don't remember this. I don't remember.
SPEAKER_03Well, hold on. I saw Harry Potter, Moana, Hunger Games. Uh that's probably it. And Dune Part 3.
SPEAKER_02I didn't even hear of end of Oak Street until like this week when they were like selling props for the movie or some shit on the internet. Yeah, like it just kind of dropped out of nowhere. Like I hadn't even I had heard nothing about it. Uh that would be. Well, what you could what you could do also, Duke, is you you said you found more.
SPEAKER_01Just add those to the list and we'll just cover them all next week. Screw it. Next week we'll we'll just we'll do a few minutes, a few minutes on sports and then knock out these trailers. Especially when there's not a lot of sports. I'll try to get the I know, huh? Whatever, what what else will we talk about?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I don't even I like I was super f I was super focused on the trailers. I don't even have anything else to contribute now.
SPEAKER_00Oh shit.
SPEAKER_02Okay, well I'll look I'll look at my podcast notes whole.
SPEAKER_01Uh oh, he's got podcast notes again.
Assassin's Creed Achievements And Retro Collections
SPEAKER_02Oh, so I think it was this getting scary. Yeah. So I can remember shit except for trailers, obviously. Um except for if somebody else does them, then um so a couple weeks ago I was talking about um how Xbox added, well not Xbox, but um Ubisoft added achievements to Assassin's Creed Mirage. So I finally finished that.
SPEAKER_04Did it take a while?
SPEAKER_02And then they also added a bunch of achievements to Assassin's Creed Valhalla. No, I mean playing like an hour or two a day. I finished it in just about a week. Um, because they were a lot of um like challenges. It's like missions you've already played, but now there's like objectives to them. Finish this mission within like three minutes. Well, not killing anyone. So finish it in this amount of time without killing anyone. Yeah. So so then they added more to Valhalla 2, which is the Viking one. Um, so I'm working on that now. That one's actually fun. I've enjoyed all of them lately. I didn't get super far into shadows yet. Um yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um you're either like the big heavy, the big heavy samurai or the little ninja game. Beefy samurai or the yeah. Um we'll see. We'll see if I'm Assassin's Creed out by the time I finish Valhalla. Maybe I'll jump back into Shadows. Um and then I downloaded a Jurassic Park game collection. I guess Limited Run Games put it out, and it was fixing to get delisted. So I'm like, uh, okay, I'll download it because that Genesis Jurassic Park game was my jam back in the day. We could play as either the Raptor or as Dr. Grant.
SPEAKER_01I remember that.
SPEAKER_02But it comes with that one, it comes with um the Super Nintendo one, which was the top-down, like gauntlet looking one. Um I think it comes with like a Game Boy version or two.
SPEAKER_03Jurassic Park coded action.
SPEAKER_02Um but yeah, I was like, well, shit, if they're gonna delist it, then um I guess I better grab it because like I said, those games were my jam back in the day.
SPEAKER_03So does that mean you like you download it or what? Let's see. What does it say? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So it has Jurassic Park Nintendo. I didn't know Nintendo was still around when Jurassic Park came out, but okay. Uh Jurassic Park Game Boy, Jurassic Park Super Nintendo, Jurassic Park Genesis, Jurassic Park Part 2, The Chaos Continues for Super Nintendo and Game Boy, and Jurassic Park Rampage Edition for the Genesis.
SPEAKER_01That makes sense. I don't I don't think uh because Jurassic Park came out in like 92, 93, something like that. And I think Nintendo stopped making games for actual Nintendo in 94-95, so that would have made sense.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. So we'll see. But I think it was made by it says limited run games.
SPEAKER_02So I didn't think they actually made games. I thought they just put all the collections together, but they're also the ones that I got the um Jedi Survivor set from that came with the lightsaber. Well, I I th I think the limited run do um they do uh like remasters. Right. So that's why I think why technically they can say that it's by them. Right. Because they were also involved with the uh the Mortal Kombat one that just came out. Which I also recently finished. And that was fun.
SPEAKER_03It was fun to play back through all the old arcade games and stuff. Nice.
SPEAKER_02Because those was my jams. But then they also added Sub Zero um mythologies, and that game was hard as fuck. Thankfully, when they release these games, you have a rewind function. So when you miss that stupid jump because the control's stuck, you can just try again.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And then they also had uh Mortal Kombat Strike Force.
SPEAKER_02It was some weird top-down game where you play as Jax after Mortal Kombat 2, because I think he had his metal arms, but it was dark as fuck, and I had no idea what was that.
SPEAKER_03Dude, Jax is black, so yeah.
SPEAKER_02But I slogged my way through it. Yeah, and then they put him on a black ass screen, too. So I'm looking for like this brown dude walking on this black screen, and I'm like, this sucks. The only thing you can see is those silver arms. Yeah. Looking like a Hershey's Kiss that's unwrapped on just the side, right down the middle.
SPEAKER_01Man, I need that rewind button for uh Ninja Gate in old school Nintendo.
SPEAKER_02But then I saw a that game was hard.
SPEAKER_03That's why God made Game Genie.
SPEAKER_02Mother f not entirely stable, huh? You bring up Game Genie and he poofs, right? Make a wish, make a wish.
SPEAKER_03I wish for Lou to come back. Come back, Lou, come back. Man. He needs to reset his router or something. Is that still a thing? Yes. Maybe. It might be all in one. Right? How's the pool? That's good. I actually spent most of the day yesterday out there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Do you not have Wi-Fi out there so you couldn't watch the trailers while you were in the pool? This is true. Well, they didn't um the electrician hasn't come out to plug the TV in, so I'm kinda mad about that. But the kitchen's like wrapped up or yeah, I think that part's all good. Um I think we are really just waiting on the TV, the electrician to come out with the TV. Just finish hooking things up. Just like um, yeah, it's gotta like put an outlet and shit in the wall.
SPEAKER_03I think that's it. I don't know. I'm sure the missus will figure something else out for them to do.
SPEAKER_02Then I spent all day today. She's like, hey, we need to go to Costco. I'm like, okay, fine. Because I wanted to get um they're selling cases of Sunset Sasparilla Fallout. Yeah. So I'm like, okay, cool. But then she buys two chairs, a table, and then some mesh container thing came in the mail the other day. And I'm just putting shit together all day.
SPEAKER_03What the fuck? Why do you hate me so much? You're just now asking that question.
SPEAKER_02Lou's back, Lou's back, Lou's back. So, anyways, hopefully game genie Lou. You know, they had that back in the day. You said Game Genie and Lou disappeared.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. That's just cheating, though. No.
SPEAKER_02I mean a little bit, but whatever. Nobody cares. Nobody could beat the old Ninja Turtle game without Game Genie. Yeah, that's just a lot of things. Yeah, there were some games that were like mandatory.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I was asking And that was actually included on one of the um Ninja Turtle collections, too. I uh was asking Jack about the pool, and he says it's pretty dialed in. Until Ways finds more stuff to do.
SPEAKER_01I'll let you I'll let you know in uh I'll let you know in nine.
SPEAKER_03Nope.
SPEAKER_02At all. It's fine. It's fine. Um, but anyways, before we were so really interrupted by Lose Internet. What?
SPEAKER_01No, I was just gonna say, it seems like the timing is better now that I got booted off and bag on.
SPEAKER_02Well, maybe it was the echo cancellation because you're not exo echo cancelled anymore.
SPEAKER_03I don't know. We'll have to test it.
SPEAKER_01Like Hello Timing. Echo like like I can tell, like it's it's it's live for certain, like you two, when you are talking, it is matching up with the video. The then when you stop and I say something, you guys keep talking like you can't hear me at the same time. So it seems like it it's it's weird, really weird. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Great. That means uh your uh your lady's gonna be like, Jack and Duke were talking over you the whole podcast. So rude. You need new friends.
SPEAKER_01I agree with you, both be in the comments.
SPEAKER_02All right, hang on. Let's see. Lou, answer this when you hear this. One, two, okay, three, four. Okay. So four seconds.
SPEAKER_01You didn't you didn't answer a question. You gotta ask a question for me to answer this. You answer questions, you respond to statements. Come on. What? So ask a quote, ask a contesto, ask a question, let's check it out.
SPEAKER_02How many fingers am I holding up?
SPEAKER_03One Jack also won. It's like we're the boys on social media.
SPEAKER_02Um a trailer's another collection that's a lot of collections and games. What I don't know.
SPEAKER_03I mean, how many fingers am I holding up?
SPEAKER_02Two four seconds. That might just be his brain though. Gee. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. His process it might not even be the internet or the laptop, it might just be him. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You guys get that message that says actual recording is higher quality stuff. I got that above. Because Duke is Duke is all messed up, but it says actual recording is higher quality.
SPEAKER_03I'll look fine. I always look fine. Yeah. I mean, I don't doubt that. But it's weird that it says it on yours, but not on Jack's. Yeah. With the most like beetle juice up in the spitch.
SPEAKER_01So his quality is always high.
SPEAKER_04He's always high as fuck.
SPEAKER_02If I study high and I take and I'll get high scores. So, anyways, retro collections are like super hot right now. Um, there's a Marvel one coming out. It's gonna have like the X-Men arcade game, the Captain America arcade game, the Punisher arcade game.
SPEAKER_03I think a couple of Spider Man games. So I'm looking forward to that too. I liked the old school games. Get off my lawn.
SPEAKER_02But also arcade games were expensive as fuck back in the day. So it's nice to play through them now.
SPEAKER_03And be able to beat them without putting quarters in. Agreed.
SPEAKER_01You don't get that that joystick button action going on unless you have a special controller.
SPEAKER_02I don't care. Oh Jack makes Jack gets his joystick. Yeah. Gets plenty of work on his joystick. My joystick and buttons both work out very well. Yeah. Ever since surgery, he's only two buttons.
SPEAKER_03So I got punch and kick. I don't I don't have the jump button.
SPEAKER_02Can't wait until Comic Con tries out both punch and kick and we'll see what happens. I think we have to do that. Sir, why are you laying on the ground? So he doesn't have to he doesn't have to try. Sir, why are you laying on the ground? Punch me, gang it.
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah, right. I can't even use that machine. Hire. Lou, hire. I can't. My fighting days might be over, unfortunately. Yeah, there's no timeout in fights.
SPEAKER_02Lou's at a point where he's just gonna die of a heart attack. He's gonna be like, okay, let's get it on.
SPEAKER_03Sir, are you okay? I was gonna knock this motherfucker out, and instead I'm calling it a little bit more.
SPEAKER_01I mean, statistically, that is more probable, let's be real.
SPEAKER_02Lou's gonna be like, you're gonna need to buy an you're gonna need to call an ambulance. For who? Okay, for me. I was gonna say for you, because it was funny and it's the meme, but it's actually for me. You know, you you remember that episode of Boondocks with Stink Meter? Lou'st Stink Meaner. Somebody gonna think they whooped some ass and they really didn't going to heaven, thinking that the last thing you did in this planet was kick someone's ass, and everybody's just like, no. You actually died.
SPEAKER_01Wait, Lou going to heaven? That's you lost me there.
SPEAKER_02Well, I mean, you're gonna stop. They're gonna stop you at the gates, dude. Like, they're not gonna actually let you in, but like Lou. No, no, you're not on the list.
SPEAKER_01Like, like bring up no, like I always told you, I'll be an officer in hell. I will be high ranking.
SPEAKER_03Lieutenant Lou. No legs. Yeah, one leg.
SPEAKER_02We show up. Hey Lou, how's it going? Oh, they I only have one leg and I'm in an ass kicking contest, and I just keep losing. This is this is my eternity. Right.
SPEAKER_03They know I like to fight, so this is what they did to me.
Invincible Returns And Marketing Misses
SPEAKER_02And then also, like I texted you guys, uh, Invincible came back on and I didn't even know about it. Like, what kind of shitty marketing does Amazon have for putting everything into Project Hail Mary and not their superhero cartoon?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that was that was weird. Like, like, I only knew about it because I jumped on uh man, what was it? Uh like new rock stars or something. They're like, episode season four, episode one breakdown. I'm like, wait, what? What do you what are you talking about? Next thing you know, episode four breakdown. I'm like, what? Did y'all even I was like, maybe they dropped all four at once?
SPEAKER_03I don't know. First two or something? I don't know.
SPEAKER_02I just hated that there was like two and a half years between season one and season two. One and two. That was too that was too fucking long.
SPEAKER_03Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but at least I mostly remember what happened last season, so I'm not totally lost. I was like, why does he have robot limbs?
SPEAKER_03Who has robot limbs? Invincible.
SPEAKER_02For all the shit that those uh Viltramites talk, they are not indestructible. Those guys bleed like stuck pigs. Even Omni Man, he's like pure blood. Like Invincible? Invincible, I get, right? Like he's half human, so I get that he can bleed, right? But even Omni Man and the other Viltramites that come to Earth, like, they get their asses kicked, and there's blood everywhere.
SPEAKER_03Excessive amounts of blood.
SPEAKER_01Did the last season end with with the girl like quote unquote dying and then figured out she was more powerful than she really was? Mm-hmm. Oh, okay, okay. I'm caught up. I just gotta watch season four. I'm like, I hope I'm okay, we're good.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is, because they were they talked about that. They they touched upon it. And they started um Invincible Inc.
Box Office Talk And Secret Movie Guessing
SPEAKER_03where he is um like heroes for hire kind of thing. Okay. I believe so. I'll just wait till the season's over, just watch it that way again. Not a bad idea. Uh April 22nd is the last episode. And all right. So that's not too bad. Yeah. Yeah. Three weeks. Uh speaking of that, real quick. What else have we go ahead?
SPEAKER_02I was gonna say Project Hail Mary made$34 million uh domestically this year. This week. And um pushing it up to$164 million uh domestic uh so far. Worldwide, it is at$300 million. It has made$136 million for them. So good for them.
SPEAKER_01Good for them. I did I did see that their drop-off from week one to week two was only 32%, which is like up there with better than Oppenheimer and better than something else that was a top movie was like it's it's holding strong. The problem it's having is it's not competing on the international market the way the other top movies have done in the past. Um again, I don't know if that means because they haven't released internationally at all the locations yet, or it's just that it's strong internationally. I'm not sure why that is, but domestically, yeah, it is kicking some ass.
SPEAKER_02I mean, Ryan Gossel's on some selling point.
SPEAKER_03International? Yeah, I mean, he's just a plain white guy, right? He's affable. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But like you're not like, oh yeah, new Ryan Gossel movies coming out. Well, also, I mean, you're I mean, they they picked a really good time of year for it to come out, too, because like there's nothing else coming out right now for at least a month.
SPEAKER_01Like And to a certain degree, they will kill you, and uh ready or not, here I come are the same movies, so it's like it's something different. And then you got a bunch of international crap that movie wants to watch in the theater because I was looking for Tuesday's movie. I'm like, what am I gonna watch on Tuesday?
SPEAKER_03I'm like, nothing, yay. Yep. You're gonna stay home. Save your money, Lou. Save it.
SPEAKER_01I might have to watch uh Daredevil finally, episode one, season two. Exactly, because we got the secret movie tomorrow, so I'm not watching it tomorrow, so which means uh Tuesday, we'll I'll be able to watch two episodes. I hope it's not I hope it's not facing the death. I want I'd rather watch the drama. Not that I'm interested in the drama all that much, but I'd rather watch that than face it to death.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like like I said, that'd be the first time I'd be disappointed with uh watching a$5 movie.
SPEAKER_01Yep. I mean, I'm still gonna watch it.
SPEAKER_02The runtime, the runtimes and stuff are way too similar, though.
SPEAKER_03Ish, yeah. That's sane. More so than the drama, I think. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'll tell you what, and when when Jack told me that that that face to death could be the movie, I was like, huh? So I went to go look, I went to go look at our theater, and it's not playing in my theater in the next couple of weeks. I mean, like, it's supposed to come out next week, uh April 10th. Um I don't see it. I don't see like what is it, pre-purchase, whatever it's called, you know, advanced tickets. I didn't see advanced tickets in that movie. I'm like, maybe my theater is.
SPEAKER_03I'm looking at mine too. Yeah. So see, that's what I'm kind of thinking it's not just because I'm not feeling it as that movie.
SPEAKER_01But I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.
SPEAKER_02Well you guys have had you guys have had horror movies, though. Because you had that. All they are, yeah, honestly.
SPEAKER_01For sure.
SPEAKER_03I was gonna say a lot of them have been. Not the standard Yeah. Usually A24 movies, which is what the drama is.
SPEAKER_02So Regal says the movie is an hour forty-one minutes. IMDB says the drama is an hour forty-six. And there is no runtime on IMDB for faces of death.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's an hour forty-eight or hour thirty-eight. We talked about it earlier in the week and found it was like an hour and a half.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, the Wikipedia had it like an hour and a half or something.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I thought it was an hour and thirty-one, is what you said. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Something was an hour forty-eight, something was an hour thirty-eight.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But then I think um that guy's argument with me was that AMC says it's a horror movie.
SPEAKER_03Uh Rotten Tomatoes is a very good thing. I like any of that is an hour 38. Hour 38 is what Rotten Tomatoes says.
SPEAKER_01So I would prefer that if AMC, Cinemark, Regal, whoever's doing secret movies, only put up the rating and nothing else. It's not really a secret if you can figure out what the hell it is. I want it to be a true secret. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um, yeah, and AMC has it as Scream Unseen, so people are thinking it's gonna be like a horror-ish movie.
SPEAKER_03Hmm. And it says hour 33. Y'all will know in 21 hours.
SPEAKER_02Right. But we'll click on the theater like for their info. It says that it's just supposed to be screen unseen instead of scream. So I don't know. Maybe they're movie post. Maybe somebody used the maybe somebody used the wrong logo or something like that when they were posting it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. It'll be scary movie six or something, whatever.
SPEAKER_02Right. I didn't even know they had six of them until I saw that trailer. I'm like, they made that many. Obviously, I stopped watching them after a while.
SPEAKER_01I mean, yeah, I was gonna say I stopped after three, I think.
SPEAKER_03Something.
SPEAKER_01Although this one does look pretty good, though.
SPEAKER_03It do, it do.
SPEAKER_01Was that on our was that on our preview list? Was scary movie on our preview list? I don't think so.
SPEAKER_02No, but I can add it. It was one of the ones I think I thought we had talked about it at some point. So I was trying not to do that.
SPEAKER_01Probably when I was talking about Scream 7.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. I mean, you know, yeah, because yeah, we were talking about Scary Movie because of yeah, I think that's what it was.
SPEAKER_01It'll be interesting, but I I I do I do wish they stopped that. Stop telling me the time of the movie, stop telling me anything, whole genre genre, just just give me the rating so we know if kids can go. That's it.
SPEAKER_03Yep. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02Whatever.
SPEAKER_03But whatever.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. Whatever.
SPEAKER_02We will we will talk about it. We could talk about it next week. And you guys will either be disappointed or uh pleasantly surprised. Hopefully, you're pleasantly surprised by the drama. I feel like the drama could go either way. Like so. I did find out. What her secret is, though, because she's getting in trouble from parents of real life.
SPEAKER_03Wait, what? So do you want to know? I'll tell you.
SPEAKER_02Want to know what? Sorry. I've been watching it.
SPEAKER_01Do you know what the drama is about?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Robert Pattinson and um Right. So they're all sitting around saying, like, what's the worst thing they've ever done? But they never say what the worst thing Zende has ever done. Yes. At least in the trailer. Yes. So a parent of But they react to the call. Yes. Yes. So a parent of one of the Columbine kids is trying to sue or making a big stink about it. Because the worst thing she's ever done was plan a school shooting. Oh, alright. But obviously she didn't go through with it because she's not dead. But I guess they're using that as well, right?
SPEAKER_03Well, those pussies always kill themselves. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's supposed to be a reason to sue. They don't actually want to People sue for anything. It's our God-given right as Americans to sue for stupid shit. It's in the Constitution somewhere. Okay. That is a dumbass reason to have a fit, but okay.
SPEAKER_02Lou, you could drive. You if you have the shortest drive out of the three of us to go straighten him out.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. He probably still lives there. Go have a conversation with him. Probably. Before I lose my leg. Find him in the in the parking lot of the shopping mall and step on his new shoes.
SPEAKER_02It it'll be interesting how the uh the editor edits this with the delay.
SPEAKER_03Well, the same thing happened last week, so how did it how did it look last week? No idea. I don't know. I don't watch it. I don't watch it. I don't watch it.
SPEAKER_01Was there a delay in the audio?
SPEAKER_02Um a couple times, but it wasn't like super noticeable.
SPEAKER_01You know, you know, it's it's it's probably it's not so much the the delay. It's the whole you guys don't know I'm talking, so it sounds like we're talking over each other that that happened last week.
SPEAKER_03We do talk over each other a lot though, so well nobody would notice it's a good I feel like we've got to do that.
SPEAKER_01Maybe well, I'm thinking maybe I need to try something different where like I log in after Jack. That could be the issue. Like I was on the records list.
SPEAKER_02Maybe I'll do that on. That would infer that Jack actually showed up on time.
SPEAKER_03I have children. You were peeing. That's not I was.
SPEAKER_02That too.
SPEAKER_01Well, I had to make it. Unless you were peeing on your side. Like, what the hell?
SPEAKER_02Are you yeah, are you? Whoa, wait a second.
SPEAKER_01Wait, did you say pizza?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Pizza. Pizza, yeah.
Pizza Orders And Potato Word Crimes
SPEAKER_01When you order pizza, where do you where do y'all order pizza?
SPEAKER_02From um, we went to um Metro Pizza today for lunch. So we had leftovers.
SPEAKER_01Okay, that's that's okay, that's solid. I know in Vegas, yeah, that's your jam. You go to Metro when you can. You're not gonna know. There's a place that you don't do any of the national chains.
SPEAKER_02Nope. All my stuff's local. There's a place called Pizzacado that's around Portland. Uh they're the expensive ones. There's another place that's uh probably 15 minutes, 10 minutes away called Pizzacaboose. And that's some good shit. They got some they got some fucking they their uh their JoJo's are called um trestle potatoes.
SPEAKER_03It's uh like chopped up uh potato wedge.
SPEAKER_01Chopped up potato wedge. They wedge the potato, then they chop it up.
SPEAKER_02No, no, no, no. It's a potato wedge. Do you know what a potato wedge is?
SPEAKER_01I do. You said it was chopped up.
SPEAKER_02I was I changed, well, I changed what I was saying because I was explaining it in way too many words.
SPEAKER_01So okay, so it's not a chopped-up potato.
SPEAKER_02I mean, it is a chopped-up potato. In wedges. But into wedges. But he did say chopped-up potatoes. That is not chopped up.
SPEAKER_01If it's in that shape of a wedge, it's it's it's sliced into a wedge. You don't chop it into a wedge, you slice it into a wedge.
SPEAKER_02There's a difference. You didn't know Lou was an English major. You have to use the correct word for everything. Yeah, he's a lawyer and an English major tonight. I forgot.
SPEAKER_03Do y'all remember who I was married to? An actual English major. Which means I was an English major.
SPEAKER_01Just like you're not married to her anymore, Lou. That's how that works. Dumb the fuck up. That's how that works.
unknownWait.
SPEAKER_01You must unlearn what you're doing. I did that earlier. Hold on. That was that was earlier's problem when I went to Home Depot and got me some uh some smart lights, but I couldn't figure out how to install them, so I had to take them back and get the dimmer smart.
SPEAKER_02Oh. I guess the term JoJo is a Pacific Northwest thing. I didn't know that. Yeah, I don't know what it's like. Jojo Jojo potatoes are a regional variation of potato wedges, primarily popular in the Pacific Northwest and parts of Ohio, distinguished by being battered seasoned and deep fried or pressure fried until crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So there you go. Hey, I got you guys.
SPEAKER_01Not chopped.
SPEAKER_03That's what I know. Not chopped. Sliced. Dice? Into wedges.
SPEAKER_02No, that's that's hash browns. That's shredded, actually.
SPEAKER_01And there's certain that's like there's certain types of hash browns. Nope, you could have you could have the cube hash browns.
SPEAKER_02No, so my wife, it was years ago. She was she wanted to make this recipe and she kept telling me to get hash browns, right? So I got hash browns. She's like, no, no, no. I mean the little round ones. I'm like, you mean tater tots? How the fuck you just say that? And she did it a couple times. Oh, but she kept saying hash browns. I'm like, those are those are completely different things.
SPEAKER_01I'm like, even hash browns. There's different type of tater tots. There's the cylindrical kind that are tall, and then the little like Burger King chips, uh rounded chips uh ones.
SPEAKER_02I think you can get the round ones at Walmart. I think you just get the barrels. Just barrels.
SPEAKER_01No, you can. You can you can get the barrel if it's Walmart brand, it's in the purple bag, and they're the tall cylinders. But if you want the little discs rounded, like I said, like at Burger King, you have to get the Or Ryder brand. Uh but they do have that Walmart.
SPEAKER_02Jack, did you forget that Lou also has a Sam's Club membership? So he's an English major lawyer. And that's Walmart.
SPEAKER_01Walmart and Sam's Club are the same thing. Uh yeah, but having a Sam's Club membership has no relevance to Walmart because they don't always have the same things.
SPEAKER_03I would know.
SPEAKER_02I've never actually been in a Sam's Club.
SPEAKER_01Yes, you have. Did you get a dog?
SPEAKER_02The first time I got a Sam's Club membership, I had to say I was married to you and I had the the spouse card. Was that Sam's Club or was that Costco? No, that was Sam's Club. I don't remember ever going into a Sam's Club. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I mean I'm going to go to the city. R.A.P. Yeah, so there.
SPEAKER_01Point is, I know you can get them both at Walmart. I don't know if you get them both at Walmart.
SPEAKER_02Either way, they're not fucking hash browns. And we almost got divorced over this shit. That is because multiple times she put hash browns on there, and I'm bringing back the shredded shit because that's the hash browns. Damn right. Right. Yeah. I thought you were gonna say she wanted like the Julienne one because there's the hash browns that are like chopped up. Like they're fancy because they got like peppers and shit in them, as opposed to just regular hash browns, which are shredded.
SPEAKER_03Called something else. Is that called something else?
SPEAKER_02What's it called? English feature.
SPEAKER_01I'm trying to fix only reason why it's in my head because I was at I was at Walmart today and I saw those and almost bought them.
SPEAKER_02But they didn't call them hash browns.
SPEAKER_03But he kind of pronounced the word, so he said nope. Put it back on the show. I can't pronounce it, I'm not putting it in my mouth.
SPEAKER_01Like I ain't trying to eat this. Well, I don't know. If there's a foreign girl who's really cute and I can't pronounce her name, I'll still put her in my mouth. Let's be real.
SPEAKER_02O'Brien. There we go. We got shredded patties, country style, and O'Brien. Those must be Irish.
SPEAKER_03Peppers and onions, yeah. That's what I was thinking of. Cube with the veggies. You gotta have yourself some Irish potatoes.
SPEAKER_02What the fuck did we just get on the potato conversation for? Oh, we were talking about pizza.
SPEAKER_01Fifteen minutes later. Why else are we talking about has browns? We started with pizza. That is the national impression.
SPEAKER_02We still haven't gotten Lou's pizza plates yet.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, what kind of pizza do you eat, Lou? Domino's? Domino's. It's cheap.
SPEAKER_01I ain't going to Cosmo. We have a Cosmos out here. They have a two-foot diameter pizza. But it's like, I ain't paying$27 for a pizza when I could get four mediums for the same price. But you can eat that two-foot pizza for like It's Thin. You can't no, no, no, no, no. It's thin. You ain't you ain't eating that for like a week.
SPEAKER_02No, that's not how that I do love that the delay is just long enough that you hear the other person talking, so you stop talking and then they stop talking at the exact same time, and then you're just looking at each other.
SPEAKER_04Shit.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and don't get me wrong. Uh the fancy places are cool and all, but they're just too expensive, that's all.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01Especially when I know that's a good thing.
SPEAKER_03But sometimes you want that gourmet shit. Not with pizza.
SPEAKER_01If I want gourmet pizza, I will take my ass to CC's.
SPEAKER_02That's what I'm saying. Once in a while you want some fancy pizza. Buffet pizza is not fancy, though.
SPEAKER_01They will make you whatever kind you want. So yes, yes, it is. CC's will do that. You go in and say, I want this, this, this. You can make it supreme, whatever you want. To me, that's fancy. On demand.
SPEAKER_02While I'm having a salad, I like how Lou's World is pre-made pizzas that are limited on what I can order. And the place where you can order whatever you want on it, but it's a buffet. That's the two categories of pizza in Lou's World.
SPEAKER_01No, then don't forget it's$9.99 for the buffet, man. That's all the pizza you want. However, you want it. I mean, come on. You can't do that at any of them other places. Hey, I want you. I'm gonna call Domino's a Pizza Hut. Hey, I need a pizza with eight slices, and I want each slice to be some different topping. No, you can do half and half at those places, but you can't actually get eight different slices of stuff.
SPEAKER_02So you can do that at Pizza Hut and Domino's as long as you don't mind one of them being spit flavored.
SPEAKER_01Nope. They won't even do it. Because you know he asked. They'll only do half. I checked. Yep. I wanted to do quarters. They won't do quarters. They only do half.
SPEAKER_02We don't even have CCs here anymore. They all closed. Are they officially? We only have one. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, two cops got killed there, so I guess um after that happens, you just kind of don't want to go there anymore. I think I still see like if I'm watching like a sporting event that has um like international, like not international, but like it's not regional, it's a regional broadcast. Uh I think occasionally I'll see the CC's ads pop up.
SPEAKER_03Because that name does sound familiar. Yeah, they're still around. There's still CC's up there by you? And never have been?
SPEAKER_02Like have you ever been to a CC's? Uh I think I went with Jack one time, like years ago. I think so. I think you only had one kid at the time. Because usually I push you, I push you for for barbecue because you guys have that bomb barbecue place. Not anymore. That place is closed too. That close to oh fuck. Right?
SPEAKER_03There are thirteen in Alabama, uh, Memphis.
SPEAKER_02Uh six in Arkansas. There's one in Colorado, twenty-three in Florida. Of course there's twenty-three in Florida. Uh twelve Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky. I don't know. Just sounds like Florida. Buffet Pizza. Buffet buffet pizza would be a Florida thing.
SPEAKER_01Buffet Pizza wasn't everywhere thing. Do you for you forget Pizza Hut used to do that? Round table? I don't think they still have round tables, but they used to do that. They used to have round tables.
SPEAKER_02Yep.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. There are a hundred.
SPEAKER_02Lou, you need to move to Texas. There's 135 CC's there. And probably a lot of uh Golden Krause, too.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Yeah. You'd be right at home. But you know what else they have a lot of there? Horses. Whores? What? Horses, not whores.
SPEAKER_00Oh.
SPEAKER_01Like, are you trying to sell me? It's working. Shit. CC's pizza, white women, and whores? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Lou, how's that Texas barbecue? Golden Corral Rack of Ribs is amazing. It's the shit. Can't go wrong. You know you can get barbecue chicken pizza at CC's? You can. You can build whatever natural one. They already have that though.
SPEAKER_02I've never I've never had it before, but I see it on the menu.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I was gonna say, no, no, no. That's that they always put pepperoni, cheese, the barbecue chicken, the taco one, the cheeseburger one. Those are the staples that are always the buffalo ran. Yeah, I was saying the mac and cheese one. Yeah, there's some standard. Man, you're gonna make me drive 30 minutes to go get some CC's pretty soon. Maybe that's Tuesday. I got I got no movie to watch. I'm gonna have to go get some CC's pizza and come home and watch Daredevil.
SPEAKER_03There you go. Oh man. After the editor gets through with it, it's gonna be like a 27-minute episode. That's fine too. But you know, I've noticed that we say um and uh a lot less now, too.
SPEAKER_02Because that was one of the things that it uh took out. It listens for and would edit those out. But I do notice that we say it less. We're getting good at this. I think I've Yeah, we've gotten too comfortable behind the camera. I think in general, we I mean I I find myself saying it less in general. Like this was like the impetus, uh the the initiator, but I find myself just in normal day-to-day life talking better or speaking more Well speaking weller.
SPEAKER_03Speaking weller.
SPEAKER_00That is so not far from the truth.
SPEAKER_02And Lou's like, oh shit, my router again. I don't know, that's unsayable.
SPEAKER_03Over here if I trying to contain my speaking well better.
SPEAKER_02I speak the wellest. I speak weller than most of the rest of the people I talk to.
SPEAKER_03This is what happens when you give Jack way too much sleep, is he gets loopy.
SPEAKER_02Right?
SPEAKER_01This y'all is a well-rested Jack. Don't get used to it though.
SPEAKER_02Weller, weller rested. When he gets weller rested. I'm the wellest rested person on the podcast today.
SPEAKER_03Oh shit. Alright, what else? Do you have anything else on your notes? That's it. Alright. Probably all spelled incorrectly anyway. We'll see.
SPEAKER_02We'll see how it puts it in the title. How weller are you? Listen to the newest and wellest episode of Vaguely Inconsistent.
SPEAKER_01I'll wait for it to send you to be the wellest episode.
Job Interview Stories And Social Media Limits
SPEAKER_03It's the best orest. The very the very goodest. It's the goodest episode ever. My television. Alright. Alright, I'm done. Say goodbye, Jack.
SPEAKER_02No, I had um I had my uh my interview this week for my new job. Oh, alright. Um the podcast actually came up. They're like, is it a wellness podcast? I'm like, no. I mean, sometimes, but no. We just sit around and fuck off. They're like, oh so, anyways.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_02What's your podcast about? It's three white guys just talking about whatever shit's going on in their world. And they're like, wait, I looked at the screen cap and one of them's like, No, you don't understand.
SPEAKER_01Did you watch the podcast?
SPEAKER_02It's whiter than than me and Jack combined. He's about to move to Texas.
SPEAKER_01Y'all don't get it.
SPEAKER_02He's about to move to Texas purely for the pizza. Literally the first person that's ever moved to Texas.
SPEAKER_01Y'all see his beard. That is his inside coming out.
SPEAKER_03He's jealous of Michael Jackson's skin condition. I mean, that would be kind of cool.
SPEAKER_02So how do you uh feel the interview went other than the podcast? It's out of well that's other than moving on. I was like, no, no. Um but it came up. Can we listen to it? No. No, you can't. Please, for the love of God, don't. It's actually banned here in Las Vegas. I I regionalized it, so nobody in Las Vegas can actually listen to it. You have to verify the I you have to verify your ID before you can listen to it.
SPEAKER_03You have to have a P. No, I mean it went okay. Just a bunch of questions how I would deal with certain situations. My integrity in regards to like the confidentiality stuff.
SPEAKER_02So I would not come on my not wellness podcast and tell you all the drama that I had at work.
SPEAKER_03Because it's talking to people that are going through shit. Um But no, I mean, we'll see. It was on Tuesday.
SPEAKER_01I think they were for sure doing Tuesday and Wednesday interviews. Um had two things going on this week, Tuesday, Wednesday. Because I was like, remember you weren't working the whole time, something like that.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah. So the thing on Wednesday was going to be a social media class. Because I'm in charge of our social media at work. That's terrifying.
SPEAKER_04That's what everybody else said.
SPEAKER_02That's what literally everybody at work said when I got the position. They're like, there were no other options here at all. The guy that's literally been written up for social media posts, and we're gonna give him the work for 15 years. I forgot to give him the password to our Instagram account.
SPEAKER_03Yes, I have it.
SPEAKER_02Uh but they canceled it, so I was very sad about that. But they reposted it, so I think it's in May now. So hopefully they said they canceled it for um low enrollment, so hopefully they don't do it again.
SPEAKER_03Hopefully they get more uh responses next time. Exactly. Or they can just teach me, I don't care. Shit. Do it just for me.
SPEAKER_02Just for me.
SPEAKER_01At some point, you gotta do it for the ones who want it to be.
SPEAKER_02Right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03We're hoping for more. You're not getting more, that's all there is to it.
SPEAKER_02Just so you know, every single post can't revolve around Star Wars. Uh no, yes, it can. See the turtle. That's what I'm trying to find out. Because like the school police, they have all kinds of funny shit on theirs.
SPEAKER_03I'm like, I want to do funny shit. Where are my limits at? Yes.
SPEAKER_02What are my limits? I need them explicitly written down. Where is the line in the sand so I can go right up to it? That's where I need that's that's what I need. Give me my boundaries.
SPEAKER_03When you show up on channel 8 news, you'll know.
SPEAKER_02So yes. When you get called in, not for your posts, for the posts that we're on on the LVPD uh site.
SPEAKER_03Look, it's just for the dispatch social media, not all the people. Oh yeah. No, no, no, no. Just dispatch.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_03Well that's good then. We have somebody else. He used to be a um a news reporter out here, and now he works for us as our uh public information officer. Right, we stole him from one of the news channels. I'm trying to see like how that really translates. Media? Maybe it doesn't. No, it does. If he worked on the newsbook media, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So he like sets up all the interviews and all that stuff. Everything that gets told on TV.
SPEAKER_01Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. It's not just social media, it's all the media.
SPEAKER_00Right, right.
SPEAKER_02So like whatever advertisements or whatever we put out, that's yeah.
SPEAKER_03When he's able to put it into a ticket. Exactly. It's my TikTok dance.
SPEAKER_01Is your are you TikToking?
SPEAKER_02Is that what's going on? Yeah, that was my TikTok dance.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I don't we don't we don't do that commie's China stuff.
SPEAKER_02That's where the line of the sand for Lou is. Anything up until that point though? Completely fair game. It's fine.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. I'd be kicked off real fast.
SPEAKER_02You're you would literally be the grandpa Simpson meme walking into the restaurant. You just walk in, put your hat down, walk around in a circle, pick up your hat, and walk out the door. That would be your one TikTok.
SPEAKER_01It just seems like there's too much stupid on TikTok. Like, there is stupid all over social media, let's be real. But it seems like the majority of it, and maybe just because that's what's put in front of me, is like, oh, this thing happened on TikTok. I'm like, oh that's stupid. I mean, don't get me wrong, obviously there's a lot of stupid on Instagram and and uh Twitter. Um and no, there's boobs on Twitter, so it's fine.
SPEAKER_02Twitter's fine.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, exactly. That's even better. And smart people don't use blue sky or whatever the other one is.
SPEAKER_03So that's aren't you on blue skinny? Yes, I am. No, there's no way. He's too smart for that. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lou.
SPEAKER_01No, not even that, not even just because blue skies were most of the lefties and and pedos went after uh fricking uh Elon took over. It's just that I didn't think you did social media except for YouTube.
SPEAKER_02Uh I was hoping to keep in touch with the sports stuff a little bit more because that was the only aspect that I was missing was it was real nice to get sports updates and stuff. But sadly, because of all like the exclusivity deals and shit like that, it's been a challenge for a lot of the leagues to have because like the NFL like signed some sort of weird like exclusivity deal with Twitter where they're making like a billion dollars off Twitter or whatever. So I know that. Yeah, they're not allowed to post like anywhere else. Like it's kind of wild. Wow. That seems stupid. I thought didn't they have a game on Twitter or something like that last year or two years ago? I thought there was like a it wasn't like a Thursday night game, but it was like a game where they were like testing out to see if they could broadcast it. I think that's so intentional. I think that was part of it, right? Was that all the social media would be focused on going through Twitter.
SPEAKER_01Man, you would you would again, I think that's stupid in a business sense because you wanted to get it out to as many people as possible. Right. If if the if the lefties want to use blue sky and everybody else wants to use Twitter, who cares? Put it on both, satisfy everybody. How stupid.
SPEAKER_02But I also read something where they were like, if you don't have MLB network and you want to watch baseball, you have to it's like ten different channels, and you have to subscribe to like five different uh streaming because there's gonna be exclusive games on like Apple TV, YouTube, Netflix.
SPEAKER_01Um no different prime, feature right.
SPEAKER_02But but I mean again, it's the thing, it's just the same bullshit where it's like, oh great, like you're spending another, you know, now we're right back to what might as well go back to cable, right? Like we're at that point where cable would actually be cheaper than yep.
SPEAKER_01I was having that thought uh this afternoon when I was doing my shopping. I'm not sure how it came up. Maybe it's something I listened to the radio on my way back, but I was thinking the same thing. Uh oh, I know what it was. I heard it on the radio where they said Netflix is raising their prices again. And that's what made me think of. I was like, it's gonna get to the point where you're just better off to have frickin' uh cable again. Drives me crazy. But and and I saw something with baseball this weekend that MLB MLB TV has some kind of deal with ESPN where you have to have an ESPN app to watch the MLB.tv games, and it's just like what the hell so stupid. Hey, all right. Um uh I'm I'm here, but I'm going black screen for a minute so a girl can uh watch.
SPEAKER_03Or we can just wrap up. Well, let her walk in and then yeah. Yeah. This is a conscious uncoupling.
SPEAKER_02This isn't an internet uncoupling. This isn't a yes, this was on purpose.
SPEAKER_03This isn't a bad connection. Right? Finally, it's not a bad connection. Duck down.
Dog Training Week And Horror Sequel Rankings
SPEAKER_01So what else happened this week? What else? Oh, yeah, I told y'all, I told y'all I did the uh the white person thing of the week with that dog training stuff.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_01And I do mean white person of the week. Like I was looking, it's not even just black people, y'all. There were no round people, it was all white people, and we're not talking a whole lot, maybe a hundred total people. Um and of the hundred total, there was me. And that's it. Now, this is up north though. This is in Loveland, up north, uh, closer to Wyoming. Uh things become lighter up there. Uh when I went to I had to go make an errand, I went to the bank and to, while I was up there, I went to the bank and to uh Chick-fil-A. Yeah, everybody was staring at me when I walked in. It was like, okay, they do exist. You know, it was like that Eminem Santa commercial. It was crazy.
SPEAKER_03But other than that, pretty quiet week.
SPEAKER_01I mean, Monday, Monday, Tuesday movie, and that was really, really about it.
SPEAKER_03Uh then yesterday's.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, Tuesday uh went and saw uh Ready or Not 2. Uh enjoyed it uh a fair amount. Uh Lou, I think you were right. I mean, I watched a review, and I think Lou you would made a comment about it too. Like it's almost like they made the first movie and then they were like, oh, and now we're gonna do a sequel, and then they were like, Oh shit, now we have to do world building. Like, where they hadn't really taken that into account before. Like so you can have a cool original idea and just leave it at that. You don't have to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You could, so yeah, but you could be just but I did enjoy it. Like there they're defin some of the the fights and the kills were pretty were pretty good, but um I'm I'm I'm good with the set. Like, I don't need a third one.
SPEAKER_01Like I think they've yeah, my problem with it uh that I'll put out here on the camera is it was just it there wasn't enough of weeding out the pack. The pack got weeded out, don't get me wrong, and they can there was some kills, but I wanted more of let's kill all these fools and not actually have a quote unquote proper story that they're trying to bring into. And it was like, that's not who you are, that's not what you were. That's not what I liked about I mean part that's that is what I liked about part one, but I want more of in part two. Now, luckily, and this is kind of a spoiler, uh you'll get what you want and they will kill you. Which is in the and me, I watched them Monday, Tuesday, keep that in mind. They will kill you on Monday, ready or not here I come on Tuesday. So I'm watching the same movie back to back, and I got what I wanted from They Will Kill You, more so than I did from.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. But I would totally go back and watch Ready or Not One again. Like, I don't know if I would do that with Ready or Not Yes.
SPEAKER_03Like uh 100%.
SPEAKER_01My order would be probably Oh, it's gonna be a toss-up between Ready or Not One and they will kill you, and then Ready or Not Here I Come would definitely be third.
SPEAKER_03Alright, alright. Okay, fine. Tapping out.
SPEAKER_02Uh Jack, real quick, what's on your shirt? I see the purple tie-dye, but I don't see what the there you go.
SPEAKER_03It's a drive. Um I can't. It's how I need a figment. There we go. Imagination as well. No, that's what he is.
SPEAKER_02He is an imagination.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02He is made of his imagination. A figment of your imagination.
SPEAKER_03That's because you haven't gun on the riot at Disney World. Yeah, that's correct.
SPEAKER_01Orsaw movie, if there's a movie, I guess there's not an movie.
SPEAKER_02Nope. He's he's uh strictly from the riot. Exclusive, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that's not like from if movie?
SPEAKER_03No. Nope. Because if wasn't even a Disney movie. Oh. Well that would make that difficult then. I can't gosh.
SPEAKER_01Jack, I wish you wanted to talk about it.
SPEAKER_02I wish you would have talked the uh watched the trailers because I really wanted to talk about the I really wanted to talk about the rocks like a nipples. Yeah, that that's weirding people out for it is that not fucking creepy as shit, like watching that trailer and you're like, oh wait. But there's not something you notice at the second, but but the second that you notice it, you can't unnotice it. I mean again, and another unnecessary live remake.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03That'll be one that I'll might watch on Disney Plus, but I'm not Well, the cartoon Maui doesn't have nipples either, so people need to get over it. Well, yeah, that's why I thought that's why it was done that way, because he didn't. Yeah. So why are we making that a complaint then? Whatever. No idea.
SPEAKER_02People just want to complain about shit.
SPEAKER_01Just keep making fun of the hair and keep it.
SPEAKER_02It was just distracting. Yeah. Right? It was very distracting, that's all.
