Somehow Our Tangents Returned

Somebody says “Disney trip” and suddenly we’re doing spreadsheets in our heads. We start with the real-life stuff, getting kids up, summer routines, and the constant question of whether paid skip-the-line tools like Lightning Lane actually save time or just move the stress around. If you’ve ever planned Disneyland or Disney World with a family, you’ll recognize the mix of excitement and “how is this already so expensive?” math. 

Then we hit sad news that stops the joking for a minute: Tom Kane has passed away. We talk through why voice actors matter so much to fans of animation, video games, and Star Wars, and why losing a voice you grew up with feels like losing a piece of the culture itself. From there, it’s straight into the fire, with a no-holds-barred Rise of Skywalker debate that turns into a bigger conversation about franchise storytelling, studio leadership, and what happens when there’s no plan. 

We round it out with the fun stuff and the petty stuff: No Doubt at the Sphere, thoughts on The Boys, moving and packing collectibles, Disney pins, secret movie nights, quick movie recommendations, and the one thing that can ruin any screening no matter how good the film is: the people sitting near you. Hit play for a very honest pop culture podcast hang, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review. What part of the conversation did you argue with most?

Morning Routines And Disney Planning

SPEAKER_03 0:03

Mr. I got to work on Monday. Whatever.

SPEAKER_02 0:08

Somebody says she wants to go to summer school though, so I do still be getting up.

SPEAKER_05 0:13

I was about to say, although you're probably still getting up before me. But at least the bus picks her up right at the door, so that works for me. Well, that's convenient. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 0:27

You just gotta make sure that she gets up. Exactly. And is there when the bus comes by. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 0:34

Man, you got two kids, have one take care of the other one. Call it a day. That's what my parents did with us.

SPEAKER_02 0:39

Yeah, that's how it worked back then. It doesn't work like that anymore.

SPEAKER_04 0:43

It sure the hell does. If you make it.

SPEAKER_05 0:46

Now they're like, that's not my child. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 0:51

It's like you want to be fed.

SPEAKER_01 0:53

That doesn't work with us though. When we at Disneyland, we're like, dang my, that ain't my child, and you're like, well, she wants to spend more time with you than me. Bye. Yep. Bye. Chopping. Shopping.

SPEAKER_02 1:04

Look, do you want to use her her death pass or not? I can't. You can. Oh, they changed it again? Well, we were able to add Lou and them. So it's still only four people. But you can pick who goes with her.

SPEAKER_05 1:18

Right. Just pick the four.

SPEAKER_02 1:20

So it was very convenient, especially for rides that uh that uh the homeboy not everybody wanted to get on. Well, not even that, just like the longer rides or cars.

SPEAKER_04 1:32

Yeah, the stuff that he hadn't done and wanted to do. So instead of having to do the wait around, we'll get there when we get there, it was like, hey, y'all use this $35 lightning lane per person.

SPEAKER_01 1:44

So are we saving money this year?

SPEAKER_04 1:47

We paid it anyway, and it still worked out for stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:50

The extra, because I think cars and rides have their own lightning lanes. Yeah. They're an extra 20 bucks each.

SPEAKER_01 1:56

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 1:57

Just for that ride, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:58

Well, we uh we'll talk about that when we get closer. We got a long ways before that.

SPEAKER_05 2:04

Oh hi guys. It's less than six months. Until December? No, until well, till that trip. But yes.

SPEAKER_02 2:14

Yeah, we'll be done with that trip in six months. Exactly. I thought he said six weeks, and I was like, wait, that's not math.

SPEAKER_05 2:21

Two weeks removed from that trip in six months. Shit, it'll be Christmas time by then. Yeah, don't mean to say that. That's gross. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

I think uh we were on Jack's third day of his cruise. No.

SPEAKER_04 2:45

No, we're on Jack's third cruise. Get it right. Yeah. We finished everything.

SPEAKER_02 2:50

We were all caught up. Now it's just bullshit. Just our regular bullshit. Yeah, but you had a list of stuff. Let's go. Alright. Alright, alright. Let's see what my notes say. Some of this is just old stuff.

unknown 3:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:04

That's fine, yeah. Alright, so sad news. Tom Cain passed away. Yoda. Yep. Yep.

SPEAKER_05 3:11

He played Yoda.

SPEAKER_02 3:13

Well. In Clone Wars. Yeah. Rest in Power. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 3:19

And also a bunch of other people. Like he didn't just do Yoda. He'd been around.

SPEAKER_02 3:22

Yeah, no, it says he did Yoda, Akbar, Boba Fett, Qui-Gon, 3P. Most popular. He was uh Professor Utonium in Powerpuff Girls.

Remembering Tom Kane’s Legacy

SPEAKER_05 3:36

So that's probably Yeah. So my man did a lot.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

Uh he was the uh the narrator. He did all the um openings for Bad Batch and Clone Wars. That was him.

SPEAKER_05 3:50

That's his voice? Oh, that's cool.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

The little news reel.

SPEAKER_05 3:54

In the galaxy this year.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

Yep. And then also starting in 2012, he is the voice of the Walt Disney monorail. So we've heard him.

SPEAKER_04 4:05

There's a voice for that. I don't remember that monorail coming up next.

SPEAKER_02 4:10

The Walt Disney World.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

So the World World. Okay. Yeah, Walt Disney World monorail system. Lou hasn't heard it. You're the only one, probably out of the three of us, that's heard it. Yes. Yes, I have.

SPEAKER_05 4:22

Now anyway. Animal Kingdom. Yeah. Nope, he didn't.

SPEAKER_02 4:30

Doors will be opening on the right. But uh he had like a stroke a couple years, a couple few years ago. It made him retire. So I think they had to get somebody to do Yoda for uh Young Jedi Adventures. And then um because he wasn't able to do voices anymore. He stopped signing for a little bit, but I think he actually made it to a couple of cons right before he passed.

SPEAKER_05 5:04

He was an archer. Hell yeah, Archer. A Woodhouse? Hans Hessler. That's cool. Wait, he was old-ass Woodhouse?

SPEAKER_04 5:21

That's why I'm saying it was like, wait. But but he must have he must have took taken over after the original Woodhouse.

SPEAKER_01 5:28

Yeah. I think Homeboy was old as fuck. He was also in the Force Awakens as a Hosnian citizen and star killer technician, uncredited.

SPEAKER_05 5:38

If he's uncredited, it don't count. He was in the boondocks. Oh Lord. Yeah, he was only in 16 episodes of Archer, so yeah. Let's see. Dr. Doom is Colonel Euloren, also in uh Rebels. But it's always sad to lose someone.

SPEAKER_02 6:14

Um I love voice actors, video games, all that shit. All them. I I probably like meeting voice actors more than I like meeting movie actors, honestly. Just because that's um that's the media I digest, right?

SPEAKER_05 6:33

Video games, cartoons. He was all back in Escape from Monkey Island.

SPEAKER_02 6:43

And on the topic of voicing Disneyland stuff, um Cad Bain does it for the the m the tram and for the uh Haunted Mansion Halloween.

SPEAKER_01 6:56

Oh. Welcome to Disneyland.

SPEAKER_05 6:58

Please keep your hands, elbows, feet. Yep, that's Cad Bane telling you to keep your shit cool. His very first Star Wars thing was Star Wars Shadows of the Empire back in 1996. Dang, like the video game? Yeah. He played Libu. And then he was in X Wing vs. TIE Fighter. I thought I saw somebody else pop up. Didn't I did I not have a screenshot for you guys? Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Recent news. Let's see, let's see. I thought some not somebody else passed, but somebody else did something.

SPEAKER_04 7:54

Didn't somebody else die? The freaking Buffy dude, the teacher from Buffy?

unknown 7:59

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 8:00

Yep. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

He is also no longer with us.

SPEAKER_01 8:03

Oh, the George Lucas is gonna be in the Minions movie. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw that.

SPEAKER_03 8:08

Yeah, you did too.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

And you saw that Sam Whitware was like talking to Faloney, and Faloney was like, like, you're Darth Maul now, and he's like, well then fucking pay me like Darth Maul. Like pay me like a main character. I was like, good on you, dude. Like, yeah. Like, you tell me I'm gonna be the oh, there we go. Darth Maul, voice actor. Uh it's uh Star Wars of Phantom Menace, the biggest disappointment of life, and say it's pay with shit. Oh, sorry, that was Peter's Seraphroah Anowitz. Uh Pete from uh uh Sean of the Dead, the roommate. Uh I guess George Lucas told him that he was going to be the next James Earl Jones. Well, Peter, you're the new James Earl Jones, and he was like, Fucking hell, am I? Then why are you paying me such shit j uh then why are you paying me such shit money, George?

SPEAKER_05 9:08

Bro, you said like three things, so you ain't nobody. And then you got he's gonna be in the Harry Potter TV series, though. Not as Darth Maul, but as that would be weird. Yeah. Dang, that was a good guess, Lou. Yeah, good job, Lou.

SPEAKER_01 9:32

I still have the uh that Star Wars quiz from uh my Kentucky Derby party I need to give you guys.

SPEAKER_05 9:39

Add it to the list.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

I'll pass it. Um, okay, also on Star Wars. Have you ever rewatched R uh Rise of the Skywalker D? Did you see one and done? Did you ever try it again? Nope, one and done. Never seen it again.

SPEAKER_05 9:53

Even Lou has the balls to try something twice.

SPEAKER_04 9:58

Yeah, and then have the you know, get get that emotional shit out of my head and then watch it.

SPEAKER_01 10:04

I still haven't gotten the emotional shit out of my head, I think. We're gonna have to clockwork orange him. For real. You're gonna clockwork

The Rise Of Skywalker Debate

SPEAKER_01 10:12

orange me at Disney World just like siters eyes all wild.

SPEAKER_04 10:18

Okay, okay, that begs the question. But you you have to pick one. You watch Rise the Skywalker or you get on that Avengers ride.

SPEAKER_02 10:30

Are you getting on Guardians or are you watching Rise the Skywalker again? Yeah, that. Probably Guardians. If I had to make a choice.

SPEAKER_01 10:37

Dick's like that's like five minutes of my life. Yeah, exactly. I don't want to waste another hour and a half going, somehow Palpatine returned because JJ Abrams is terrible at finishing storylines.

SPEAKER_05 10:49

It wasn't his fault.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

No, it was. It was. He had he had a way of fixing things and he didn't. He just was like, I'm just gonna ignore it.

SPEAKER_04 11:00

J.J.'s as a director, man.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

He didn't write that shit. No, he did. He wrote it with Chris Terio.

SPEAKER_04 11:06

Yeah, yeah. Boxed in a corner. What are you supposed to do? Kathleen Kennedy fucked that up for everybody from day one. So it's kind of hard to do. But if you look at what the original fucked up episode, fucked up episode two. Your job is to come here and fix this shit with the shit we fucked up. Do the best you can. And he did. He did the best he could with the shit he was given.

SPEAKER_01 11:28

But again, shit in, shit out.

SPEAKER_04 11:31

I mean, I'm just saying it's not, I just don't blame JJ. April's off. It's it's that that's why I'm not saying it was good. I'm just stopping you at like blaming JJ for it. I was like, no, wait a minute, time out. You gotta go back to the beginning. Episode seven uh was fine. Eight is where they went off the rails, and then nine, they were like, hey, we're already off the rails, who gives a shit? And it's unfortunate if that's how, but but that's a poor plan. I mean, think about all the shit that Feige came up with for Marvel over eight years or whatever it was. Well, actually, they 19, 12, 8, 11 years of Marvel stories that they started here and they eventually got here. They didn't have a plan for 7, 8, 9. They're just like, hey, let's make money.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

And it sucks. Right. So who was the front wait, who was the one that directed the first one?

SPEAKER_04 12:18

Kathleen Kennedy.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

Hmm. Who directed the first one though? Hmm.

SPEAKER_04 12:22

Did I didn't I just say there wasn't a problem with the first one? Except they couldn't.

SPEAKER_01 12:26

But then no, you just countered yourself and you said there was a problem. 7-8-9, they didn't have a plan.

SPEAKER_04 12:30

The movie was fine. There was no story. There was no like going from seven to eight to nine, that's where they fucked up. Seven's only fucked up in the storyline of it all because there was no plan for eight and nine to feed off a seven. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

But my but my point is that if you're JJ Abrams, if you're JJ Abrams, you come in. Right, you're fine if you love a new hope because it's basically just a retelling of a new hope. Like, well, it had to be.

SPEAKER_03 12:56

We already we already went over this.

SPEAKER_01 12:57

It had to be.

SPEAKER_04 12:59

Remember the part where I said three years ago, uh, probably like the first month of this pod of season season one, year one, or season one, first month, that it was an issue of they had to basically the old fans who liked it are going to like it again, but they had to do something to get the episode, the prequel fans back. Because it, which is why in the beginning of the that first opening scene where we're uh dude, like one of the first lines that dude is talking to Poe, he's basically making fun of the prequels. When he's when he talks about this will get everybody back to whatever his quote is, if you can find it great, if not, y'all can look it up online. But whatever that quote was when he's in dude's tent, and he talked he's making fun of the prequels when he does that. So you had to get those fans back, and the only way to do that in their heads, I'm not saying there were other other ways that could have done it, was to rehash four, five, and six and put it in episode seven, which is exactly what they did, and it made one point whatever billion dollars, and it was successful in that sense. Whether or not it was a good movie, uh that's to be argued. People talk about was this movie a bomb? Was this not a movie a bomb? I I base it off of finances. So I mean, that's a different question than was it a good movie? Um, and so yeah, episode seven was perfectly fine. The problem was they did not have a plan for eight and nine. And and they should have had a plan before seven was even uh started in pre-production. They don't know what the fuck they're doing.

SPEAKER_05 14:32

They don't exactly tell Trump.

SPEAKER_01 14:38

Um but again, JJ Abrams was there at the beginning, too. Like, so he knew from the jump to things were gonna be fucked up.

SPEAKER_04 14:49

Yes, he should have wrote three stories. Like he I I I agree. From he knew it was gonna be fucked up, and it was. But that that that that doesn't make him responsible for the fuck up. Just because you know it, that means, oh, I know this is we probably all bad happened your fault because you knew it. That's not how that worked.

SPEAKER_01 15:06

Yeah, it is. If you knew it and you still got involved in it, there were tons of people who came and went throughout that stuff. How many of how many starts and goes of stuff that we've heard with directors, and it's probably 50-50 between the studio letting them go and then the people going, uh, you know what? I'm good.

SPEAKER_04 15:21

Like how many that he should turn out a paycheck because they they can't get their heads out their asses, so he should turn out a paycheck.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

If if you care about the project, yes. Again, one for you, two for me, right? I do one paycheck movie, and if it was a paycheck movie, then just fucking say it's a paycheck movie. People say people say it all the time, but don't come back to the third one and go, oh no, everything's fucked up. I'm just gonna much like seven, I'm just gonna negate everything that happened before it and then just do what I want to do. Like JJ was a producer of the thing.

SPEAKER_04 15:52

Fucking Brad Pitt wasn't even in Star Wars.

SPEAKER_05 15:56

He should be. It wouldn't have made it worse.

SPEAKER_01 16:00

It would not have made Rise of Skywalker worse.

SPEAKER_04 16:07

The most giant character in the world, and it would not have made episode eight worse anyway. Seven was fine. We're talking about JJ Abrams, whatever. You're gonna turn Duke over there, gonna turn down paychecks. Damn. It's like we're gonna give you $10 million to make this movie. No, thank you. I will pass.

SPEAKER_02 16:27

I I have morals and scruples. Nah, but like you're in Hollywood.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

He was a he was a producer in seven, so he was around the whole time. Yeah. And didn't fix anything. His name is on all three movies.

SPEAKER_04 16:42

Well, once you're a producer on one, that's just how it works. I don't I producer credits are a waste these days. You watch any TV show and you're 17 fucking producers. Um you watch a movie, 12 different producers. It's like, oh my god. Fucking, wasn't Scholar Joe Hansen a producer on Black Widow? I mean, come on, man, I don't give a shit about that. Those titles don't mean dick to me. Another movie. I want to know who I want to know, and you know what? I could be unfairly blaming Castle and Kennedy on this. I could be wrong. I don't know. But the presumption is that she was the one responsible for what the three stories should have been. It is absolutely possible that she's not, and it wasn't on her. It could have been on Filone, it could have been on Phil and the Blank person. Um she she just had the name to Luca, she's the whole buck stops here, blah, blah, blah. And a lot of people like to blame her, myself included. But there is a chance maybe one day we'll find out that it really wasn't her. It was somebody else that fucked it up. Maybe it was JJ Apron.

SPEAKER_05 17:40

Somehow, George Lucas. Maybe it was. Somehow, George Lucas returned.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

George Lucas returned. In Minions. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 17:51

Oh my gosh. Bring us back around.

SPEAKER_02 17:53

Everything's connected.

SPEAKER_04 17:54

Man, I I will I will I will admit I'm laughing every time I see the that trailer for, or whatever, I don't know if it's the trailer, but the commercial for minions, and the dude's doing the spell, and he's all Carmel, Macchiato. I'm just, I'm losing. I

Minions, Trailers, And Theater Habits

SPEAKER_04 18:10

laugh my ass off every single time I watch that shit. Like, I have no interest in going to watch that movie, but if I did, I wouldn't be sad.

SPEAKER_05 18:19

I already got tickets for it. Did you already watch Toy Story? Yeah, actually, we watched that today. Toy Story. I like it. I gotta watch four still.

SPEAKER_04 18:31

I mean ish. I'll watch some YouTube video on the first four movies summarized.

SPEAKER_01 18:37

But I mean yeah, the first four minutes, the first four star uh Toy Story movies in 25 minutes. Yep. There you go.

SPEAKER_05 18:42

Yeah, it's fucking fun.

SPEAKER_02 18:43

I mean, it just introduces you to Forking. It tells you what happens to Woody. Something happened to Woody.

SPEAKER_05 18:50

That's fucked up.

SPEAKER_02 18:51

Yeah. Did you see the trailer when they're like, oh, Woody, you came back? Coming back from where? Oh, don't tell me. Exactly. That's an episode for. Spoilers. Spoilers.

SPEAKER_04 19:00

I'll watch it in my YouTube video. Although I don't have any plans to go see five in the theater, so I'll be on Disney Plus in three months.

SPEAKER_05 19:13

Six weeks.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

Nah, I mean, it's bad enough they're not even doing um they're they're not even doing secret movies right now. That's how bad the one next week. We actually do have one coming up, actually. Oh, I thought when we talked about it last week, you guys since we last talked, they did put one up.

SPEAKER_02 19:31

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 19:32

Like the very next day. So yeah, we got one Monday. And and the rumor is it's you told me what it might be. Young Washington. Yeah, so it might be Young Washington.

SPEAKER_02 19:46

What was for Ben Kingsley? I'm sure it was one of the trailers you sent us, bruh. Probably. It had Ben Kingsley in it.

SPEAKER_04 19:51

More importantly, it's America, so who cares? I'm gonna go watch it anyway. They would have got my full 1350.

SPEAKER_05 20:02

America. I mean, I did it for the millennia movie, so why not? As you should. Excuse me.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

JJ Abrams. Jar Jar Abrams, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 20:20

Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

Alright. Um, well, this happened a few weeks ago. May. 21st of June right now, so where are we at? I know, right? So middle of May. Um holy hell, dude. We've been busy, bruh. Everybody's been busy. We got shit talking about we went to go watch No Doubt at the Sphere. So that was pretty cool. Um first time I worth every dollar.

SPEAKER_05 20:45

So worth every dollar? Oh yeah. Yeah,

No Doubt At The Sphere

SPEAKER_05 20:50

for sure.

SPEAKER_02 20:52

It's just a crazy like experience. Just it it's almost like a planetarium. But like a planetarium. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:01

It looked like it was in 3D even though it wasn't. The graphics were cool. Had like a Gwenzilla stepping on people. And she's still hot, even though she's like 50 something. 50 something's gonna be hot, Jackson. Oh, sorry, that's a little old, out of my age range.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

Shit. Lou's not out of your age range. Stop lying.

SPEAKER_04 21:28

For real. Oh I thought you said I didn't.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

Now all of a sudden he's being ageist. Lou gets a job, all of a sudden Jack becomes ageist. Right?

SPEAKER_03 21:38

Right.

SPEAKER_04 21:38

I had to rename it.

SPEAKER_02 21:39

He doesn't need me anymore, so when I had money and he needed something, now he's a strong independent woman.

SPEAKER_04 21:50

Hey.

SPEAKER_02 21:53

But it was having Juneteenth. Um just announced that Rocky Horror Picture Show is gonna be there.

SPEAKER_05 22:00

Oh maybe actually. They're testing for Star Wars next year. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_04 22:10

That ticket that's gonna sell out. If that if that happens, that ticket, first of all, expensive as fuck. Second of all, sold out ten seconds.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

I mean, sphere tickets are already expensive as fuck as it is. So then to put the Star Wars pre-then to put the Star Wars premium on that.

SPEAKER_02 22:23

Yeah. Cause even um for Wizard of Oz, I just sent wife and youngest, because I was like, all four of us? No, sir. And those are like I don't I don't know, they're like a hundred bucks a pop. Something like that.

SPEAKER_04 22:40

It wasn't wicked.

SPEAKER_02 22:41

No, it was Wizard of Oz like the movie. OG 1930.

SPEAKER_04 22:48

Right? 34, whatever it was, 36, 37, I mean like 90-year-old 90 anniversary.

SPEAKER_02 22:55

Um some new special effects so they could blow it up and make it um that size.

SPEAKER_05 23:03

Um it's like a bunch of 40 effects. Like they drop apples on you and shit.

SPEAKER_01 23:14

Uh tickets to Wizard of Oz right now are $104 for like top, top, very top of the building. If you want to sit down below.

SPEAKER_04 23:25

Does it matter where you sit in there?

SPEAKER_01 23:27

I mean that's not bad. I mean, if you want to sit like way down at the bottom of the bowl, it's only $114. So I thought it was going to be way more. Because usually the closer you are, the way, way more expensive.

SPEAKER_04 23:40

That's not terrible at all, actually.

SPEAKER_02 23:44

So when Star Wars comes, I'm just buying tickets, right? And we'll just yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:48

That shit happened next week. Well I went to a concert in May. Wait, May? How long ago was that? That was like a month ago. What?

SPEAKER_04 25:16

What did I have for did it two hours ago?

SPEAKER_01 25:19

I mean, I liked it, but I mean, that's me. Like, I liked how it ended. I thought it was fine.

SPEAKER_02 25:28

I think some people still thought that um Homelander was a good guy after all this, and they're like, why'd they do him like that?

SPEAKER_04 25:34

I'm like, he wasn't he kinda is. He's for America and killing liberals. That's a win.

SPEAKER_01 25:40

Uh he killed everybody. He was for for himself and killing everybody, Lou.

SPEAKER_04 25:46

Like I mean, only people that were against. No.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

And he was America. Spoiler. Spoiler. No, not really. You'll get there, Lou. You'll get there.

SPEAKER_02 26:00

Okay. I just noticed your fridge is naked, Lou.

unknown 26:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 26:04

Are you packing? Starting to pack up.

SPEAKER_01 26:07

I like how Lou's very first thing he packs up is his magnets off his fridge.

SPEAKER_02 26:11

Because it was easy. Well, I got one of these uh parcel uh priority mailboxes that are empty because I didn't eBay shit. Let me just throw out my magnets in there.

SPEAKER_03 26:22

You know, you know what the funny thing is?

SPEAKER_04 26:24

That was actually the last thing I took off so far, and that was about 15 minutes before

Packing Up And Roommate Chaos

SPEAKER_04 26:30

the pod started. The first thing I put I boxed up was the bedroom stuff. There's like the transform. I had some collectibles in there, like my all my studio 86 transformers, some some Star Wars stuff, so stuff uh a Funko Pop, like the pop teas. Remember those rectangle boxes, those cubes, rectangular cubes? That's rectangular, it's not cube, but either way. Um the bedroom was the first thing I did and cleared that out, and that's good to go, except for my clothes. And then I moved over to the bookcases that I had in the living room. Um, and I had just and uh that just finished that up earlier this evening. I was basically doing all this while the World Cup was on. And then I had a box that was like, well, this stuff I don't like, bankers' boxes are stuff that I'm gonna open up and get get to. And then the other boxes I'm sealing, I'm using, you know, I'm taping them all up, and it's like, oh, they're going in the basement at the new place, and am I gonna touch them? Um and I was going through those boxes, I was like, oh, okay. Well, I'm like, I have all this extra space in this box. I can't I gotta fill it with something. I look over, I'm like, what am I gonna? I don't want to put glass, it'll break. I'll put I'll get a box for glasses later. Um and I look up, I'm like, oh, magnets. I'll just throw these magnets in there and fill the space. Um and I'm actually having trouble finding things to put in there because I'm looking here because there's one, two, three, four, the equivalent of five tall bookcases worth of Funko Pops going three rows deep, five across. Um, and I'm like, fuck, dude, that's gonna be bad. But I don't have mean that and the door bulls that are for sale. I mean, I don't have much left to box up. Like, I'm not keeping my couch, I'm not keeping my bed. So, yeah. Well that answers that question.

SPEAKER_02 28:17

I was gonna ask, are you guys actually roommates or are you sharing a room?

SPEAKER_04 28:23

Both. We're sharing a room and we're roommates, is the title.

SPEAKER_01 28:28

But we're going from two separate beds to just having a body pillow between us to delineate sides. So it's like Ricky and Lucy then.

SPEAKER_04 28:36

Yeah, I mean, or we'll just get two twins, you know, just put two twins in in in there.

SPEAKER_01 28:42

So that's how God wants it. And you'll do like the hotel. You'll do the hotel with the uh where they have like the filler for the nights you guys are actually like the two nights a week on the weekends you guys are sharing a bed, you put it together and then it fills in the gap. And then Sunday night you pull them apart again.

SPEAKER_04 28:57

I'm not trying to live in sin. I mean, you guys can if you want to, but like sorry, too late.

SPEAKER_01 29:05

You ain't lying though.

SPEAKER_04 29:06

I mean, that's racks. Oh yeah, June Juneteenth's over. Tell all your jokes.

SPEAKER_02 29:17

We just can't make fun of being gay now. That's still June.

SPEAKER_04 29:20

It's still June, man. We got I got nine more days.

SPEAKER_05 29:24

Wait, nine more gays? Is that what you said? That's just tomorrow.

SPEAKER_04 29:32

What do y'all think about that? Juneteenth is a stupid holiday, just like freaking Black History Month, and every other let's celebrate something to segregate ourselves. Fucking June. Yeah, I only had to work four hours and I'm gonna get the alphabets from everybody.

SPEAKER_01 29:45

I am I only had to work four hours and I got eight hours of bank time for uh for celebration, so I am not gonna be mad at that.

SPEAKER_04 29:53

Yeah, they want to be federal holidays. I don't even care. I get it. You know, it's it's just it just makes no sense. That's that whole rationale if you're trying to put the country

Juneteenth And Holiday Hot Takes

SPEAKER_04 30:03

together, celebrating all the things that separate us, not really the way to do it.

SPEAKER_02 30:08

But that brought us all together when the last of them were finally freed. They were already freed, bruh. They were already freed. But the white people weren't telling them they were.

SPEAKER_04 30:17

Well, then blame white people for that shit. You want to make a holiday over it? It's like oh it's a holiday they got over on the white man.

SPEAKER_01 30:23

Here we go. Here we go, Lou again, blaming Kathleen Kennedy for slavery now. First, she's blaming her for It probably is.

SPEAKER_04 30:31

Kathleen Kennedy did not have a plan to win the slaves are gonna be freed, to informing them that they are free. That's absolutely a Kathleen Kennedy problem. Because like I'm gonna say not emancipation proclamation and not tell nobody. Good job, KK. See, that's part of her name. It's already there, right? KK, what's missing? One more name, uh-huh. Aaron. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 30:58

He's like, we got this emancipation proclamation. He's like, well, what are you gonna do after? I don't know. Don't know. We're gonna bring JJ Abrams in and let him figure it out. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 31:07

He's a producer, he knows what he's doing. Somehow Lincoln returned. It's weird.

SPEAKER_05 31:15

Oh man.

SPEAKER_04 31:17

But yeah, I mean, F that. Federal holidays should be for like like major shit. Texas, that should be a Texas state holiday, not a freaking federal holiday.

SPEAKER_02 31:27

And it was for a long time, but then the white people get a hold of it and they spread that shit everywhere because they want to be woke and be out.

SPEAKER_04 31:35

Yeah, you know, liberal. I mean, well, I'm sure with some liberal white woman, because that's the bane of everybody. Fucking liberal white women. At least liberal white men are they're not as bad.

SPEAKER_02 31:43

Well, they're the same ones that were on it was mostly threads, I think I saw it. Is they're like, well, of course, I'm getting paid for the day off, and I'm gonna donate my day's pay to a black person. So drop your cash out. And like some people actually did do it.

SPEAKER_05 32:00

Allegedly. No. So sorry, Lou, I didn't send you any money. I actually had to work that day.

SPEAKER_02 32:11

So you and me both. Shit. I did get 10 hours of vacation. So I technically got double paid for it, but whatever.

SPEAKER_04 32:19

Oh damn. Okay, you're up there like dupe getting that extra. Good problem to have though, right? Mm-hmm. I don't know. Most of them holidays, I'm just like, this is bullshit. This is bullshit. This month are gonna celebrate that. Okay, let's separate the alphabets from everybody else now for the whole month of June, while corporations are hypocrites. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 32:38

It's not celebration. It's not separation, it's celebration.

SPEAKER_04 32:43

Okay. Where's the where's the hetero? Where's the hetero month? Where's that? Nope. Nope. Wrong. Wrong. See, don't work. All the commercials, all the TV shows. Like, you got B E T, right? Where's W E T? Where's W E T, right? Uh people will lose their damn mind.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

Newsmax? What are you fucking talking about, Lou? Where are the white news? Where are the white the white men channels? Like, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_04 33:12

Soon to be CNN TVS? Hello. I got freaking, I got a TV station just for black folk. Okay, let's let's let's separate again. You're gonna tell me they used to watch TV stations for Mexicans, too.

SPEAKER_01 33:24

You used to go, you used to watch a TV on third on Friday nights go from Kevin James to Tim Allen to if I like too funny.

SPEAKER_05 34:00

Although I did get off two or two hours early on Juneteenth, so there's There you go.

SPEAKER_04 34:05

I didn't count though. And then you got off two hours early.

SPEAKER_01 34:08

You got off two hours early and then an hour and forty-five minutes early, huh? Huh? I mean No, actually.

SPEAKER_04 34:16

I ain't seen this.

SPEAKER_01 34:18

I was like, wait a minute. That's okay, that explains okay, that explains why you're so bitter. I get it now.

SPEAKER_02 34:26

Because it's rumored doesn't celebrate Juneteenth.

SPEAKER_04 34:31

If she were here, she would have celebrated. She would have celebrated the hell out of it. Tell you that much. I'd have been like, I like this holiday. She's like, oh, you're celebrating this holiday. Whether you like it or not.

SPEAKER_01 34:44

Again, I'm of the argument that all holidays should be on a Friday or Monday. That's me. We need to move 4th of July to like the first Friday in July and make it Independence Day. And everyone gets a three-day weekend. What?

SPEAKER_02 34:59

But it's not Independent Oh no, sir. There is no July 4th Observed. We celebrate on Merca Day.

SPEAKER_04 35:06

I was just about to say though, if they re-like to Duke's point and to what you just said, if they renamed it to you know July 4th Observed, I might be able to get it away.

SPEAKER_01 35:17

I'm I'm Halloween should be the last Friday in October. Fuck October 31st. No shit happened on October 31st unless we watch it on the Crow together. And it's fucking devil's time. Fire it up. Fire it up. But I'm just saying, I'd rather have.

SPEAKER_04 35:35

Friday in October could be like the 25th. And that'd be weird for Halloween on the 25th. I mean, for us anyway, the new generation would be like, okay, this is what it is.

SPEAKER_01 35:44

Lou, who's never worn a fucking costume in his life that didn't have nipple clamps, is complaining about when fucking Halloween is.

SPEAKER_04 35:51

I wore a French made outfit. You're gonna talk about I didn't wear no legitimate outfit.

SPEAKER_01 35:56

With nipple clamps. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 35:58

I missed that part. Okay, yeah, alright. I was like, wait a minute. I dressed as chef, my first year here in Boulder. I'm like, okay, that's still track, still have the clamps on it.

SPEAKER_01 36:09

You always wear it with the shirt and like something over the top of it, so it hides it. Yeah. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 36:15

Depends on where we're going up first.

SPEAKER_01 36:17

The over the neck uh apron broke, so he just clamped it onto his neck button. Right.

SPEAKER_04 36:21

He's like, I know, I got this.

SPEAKER_01 36:23

Early in the night he had the full apron. Halfway through the night it would only went up to here. It was tube top chef.

SPEAKER_05 36:38

So many pictures taken that you that night. Star Wars Star Wars in 2027. Nipple clamps. There's gonna be slave Leia with nipple clamps. Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 37:01

And then one day he'll put a cape on. Um slave Lando. Whoa! Sir! Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 37:09

Man, I I I I could do that in Chicago. Then I ain't gonna fly in in California.

SPEAKER_05 37:16

Florida

Conventions, Costs, And Fan Frustrations

SPEAKER_05 37:17

would appreciate it. So Chicago. Let that boy cook. I'm like, yes, let him cook.

SPEAKER_04 37:28

As long as the celebration's in June, it'd be fine.

SPEAKER_01 37:33

Only time it'd be in June if it was in Florida because they'd want to make us all fucking miserable again.

SPEAKER_02 37:39

Shit, it was in August last couple times.

SPEAKER_01 37:41

Yeah, it was.

SPEAKER_04 37:42

I mean, they want to save that money, you know. You get the convention and all that centers for cheap and the hot because nobody wants to be there, so they're like turn the AC. Our fans will show up no matter what, because they sold out. So no matter what, they're gonna sell out, they don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_05 37:55

They absolutely do not care about the fans. And as a business person, I don't blame them.

SPEAKER_04 38:05

I would do the same thing. I'm gonna maximize my profit because the fans are gonna show up no matter what. It's miserable. Oh, thanks for complaining. Uh we'll we'll we'll still take that into consideration and have it in September. Never.

SPEAKER_02 38:19

Um September, we'll have it in Qatar. We'll blame it on the convention center. Oh, they didn't have a spot for us.

SPEAKER_04 38:27

They didn't have anything available. So you cheap motherfucker. Yes, they did. Denver does Denver does it every year. I mean, we're gonna do 4th of July weekend because it's cheap as hell because no other convention wants to do it for July weekend. So we'll do it and have all of our all of our uh talent cancel on it. Yep.

SPEAKER_05 38:46

And they're gonna say they got jobs when they ain't doing shit. It's like I ain't going there. It's 4th of July. I'm trying to drink and barbecue. Don't matter. That shit was still that year they did that.

SPEAKER_04 38:59

Denver's going back to 4th July. I mean, only it's only not this year. Yeah, they're going back to it. They only didn't do it this year because the convention center was booked for the uh anniversary, 250th anniversary stuff. So next year they already announced. Uh they're doing it Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, since Monday is a holiday. Fourth of July observed. Here you go. Observed. So yeah, so they everybody expects it to stay Fourth of July weekend for I mean Fourth of July is on a Wednesday. I don't know what you're supposed to do, but but for now, it's it's gonna be after Fourth of July for the third time, fourth time, whatever. If it works, it works. I mean, I don't I don't do anything, you know. I don't go anywhere, I don't celebrate, I don't barbecue, I'm not, I don't give a fuck about fireworks, so I'm fine with it.

SPEAKER_02 39:48

So what you're saying is you hate America? Mm-hmm. That's what I'm hearing about.

SPEAKER_04 39:55

It's so overdone. Give me something new. But don't give me drone shows either. I fucking hate those.

SPEAKER_02 39:59

Drunk shows are dope as fuck. You're crazy. Not for Fourth July.

SPEAKER_01 40:04

Only when the drones are firing fireworks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:07

Oh, I'd be cool with that.

SPEAKER_01 40:09

At each other. That'd be different. Battle bots. Out of pocket. Like the kids fighting with Roman candles. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:16

When when they want to use drones to give us some scenes from the Revolutionary War, then we're talking.

SPEAKER_05 40:25

I can do that. I can do it. Patriotic drones.

SPEAKER_04 40:30

If you're like, again, if you want to do soldiers, tea uh tea party, again, do the shit with the drones.

SPEAKER_02 40:35

We're not thinking about teabagging. I like, are we doing a Halo drone show?

SPEAKER_05 40:41

Yeah. But meh.

SPEAKER_04 40:48

I don't know. I don't want once you get once you get my age, you you care less about some shit.

SPEAKER_01 40:54

I like how Lou is like my age. Like he wasn't the same fucking asshole at 25. We're all going out for a barbecue and fireworks. Lou's like, fuck you, I'm staying home and playing Carcassonne.

SPEAKER_04 41:07

Carcassonne wasn't even a thing for me at 25. Besides, I was like this since 15. Don't get you selling me shorts. 25 shit.

SPEAKER_01 41:17

Yeah, that's true. When you were 25, there wasn't electricity, it was still new, so it's fine.

SPEAKER_04 41:23

Man, that shit was that was um it was like that was wizardry, dude. Wizardry, I'm telling you right now.

SPEAKER_02 41:31

Because Lou was there during the Revolutionary War, so he remembers. No, we didn't we didn't celebrate like this.

SPEAKER_04 41:38

We got to get the action going, and it's like all of a sudden you see the light start. It's like you look up and it's like that candle is lighting up on its own until I stop.

SPEAKER_01 41:49

Lou would be at a Revolutionary War drone show. Wrong. Nope, that didn't happen. That's not that wasn't how it happened. Falk news.

SPEAKER_04 41:58

Fake news. Can y'all call me next time, get your story straight? This is this is this is movie shit going on up here in this drone show. This is movie shit, uh-uh. What's the retelling? Man, creative liberty's my ass. There's only one liberty, goddammit. I was there.

SPEAKER_01 42:18

There's a fine line between creative liberty and lying. You guys are really fucking pushing it right now. Right? Based on a true story, sure. More like just based on a story. A story happened.

SPEAKER_02 42:33

Just not like this.

SPEAKER_04 42:37

I mean, there were there were Brits and Americans. That's as about as far as we got right.

SPEAKER_05 42:46

Our coats weren't really red. It was sort of an orange, a burnt orange. This is bullshit. And y'all didn't even bring up the French. What the hell? The French saved us. Oh my god. The only time you can ever say that. Right. Oh wow. Where were we?

SPEAKER_02 43:11

The sphere and uh no doubt. No, no, no, we moved on from that to the boys and how Homelander was America. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:20

Yeah, how Homelander was a good guy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 43:26

But no, I did not hate the ending. No, no, no. It ended as it should.

SPEAKER_02 43:31

I'm looking forward to the Soldier Boy series. That should be entertaining. Yep.

SPEAKER_05 43:36

Well, that's because I love apples, so yeah. And I love the actress who plays Stormfront, so even better. It all works out. Yeah.

unknown 43:47

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 43:50

Yeah. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:53

That's really s that's really set in a bar when Jack called or sorry, when Lou calls somebody else racist.

SPEAKER_05 44:02

Hey man. Uh gay recognized gay.

SPEAKER_01 44:08

You're just fitting in all your pride jokes. This this time this podcast, aren't you, Lou? You're just trying to wrap it all up before the end of the month.

SPEAKER_03 44:17

Right? Because I gotta get half of it out now, and the other half next week's probably Todd, and then June's over.

SPEAKER_01 44:23

It's good that you're a giver and a receiver, Lou. Let's see.

SPEAKER_04 44:26

Oh yeah. And then the next pod after that is freaking 4th July Pod.

SPEAKER_02 44:31

Yeah, it is. Some of us might not have fingers.

unknown 44:35

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 44:36

Except Lou, because he didn't do fireworks. Yeah, except for he just sat in the house like a dog every time a fireworks.

SPEAKER_04 44:44

No, see, on the night of I I ain't gonna go out and watch it, but it won't bother me. It's the five days leading up to it and the five days after it. It's like, come on.

SPEAKER_01 44:53

I'll give you that. And every and every other kind of event. I'm gonna say event, right? Like, oh, the Blazers win a playoff game. Oh, the Knights won a playoff game. Oh, you know, like, oh, they won one game. Let's go outside and light off fireworks. You didn't win shit. You won one fucking game. Calm the fuck down. Like.

SPEAKER_04 45:13

Why gotta bring up the knights, man? That's they're still fresh.

SPEAKER_01 45:15

No, I'm just saying, but I'm saying, like, the Did you see that you say I'm babyfaced again? Yeah. Was it painful? That'll be me. I wasn't gonna. I mean, not the game.

SPEAKER_05 45:29

That's okay. Aces whooped that ass today. Yeah, they did.

SPEAKER_01 45:35

I went and saw professional lady softball on Friday. That was exciting.

SPEAKER_04 45:39

Oh, you didn't say it was out. How was it?

SPEAKER_01 45:42

Good. Yeah, it was interesting. It's weird. It's weird because they bring the walls in. So there was like because it's so the hops are, I think, a high A team for the Diamondbacks. And um, like two or three years ago, like baseball, so

Live Sports And Vegas Baseball Heat

SPEAKER_01 46:05

minor league baseball used to kind of just regulate itself, like it just used to just kind of be a farm system. Like it was a literally just a farm system, but major league baseball didn't really have any control over the individual teams or the leagues. And like a few years ago, one of the collective bargaining agreements, they a lot of the last I think it was the last bargaining agreement they did, a bunch of the minor league stuff came up because there are some teams that really take care of their players and take care of their teams, and then there's other teams that like the field is 50 years old and the stadium hasn't been upgraded in you know who knows how long and that type of thing. Like so it was like a real but there because there was no standards being set, owners could come in and be as cheap or as fruit or could be as cheap or generous as they wanted to be. And so the MOB, the last bargaining agreement, I believe. I'm sure, I mean, if people actually watch the podcast, I'm sure somebody would correct me in the comments. But so I'm just talking out of my ass. But no, no, no, no. It was like the last the last um uh bargaining agreement, collector bargaining agreement, they they created like kind of a baseline for all minor league teams. Right. And so they had to build the hops where the hops play out in Hillsborough, they had to build a whole new stadium. But instead of destroying the stadium that they had, they just built it literally right next door.

SPEAKER_04 47:23

There goes some fireworks right now. Bullshit. Sorry, go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 47:32

Yeah, Lou.

SPEAKER_01 47:33

So the the place where they play is like a whole complex. They have like baseball and softball tournaments all throughout the summer and spring and everything. Uh, and so they just removed a couple of those smaller fields and stuff and built a whole new stadium right next to it. So the old stadium still is there, and now that's where the the softball team plays. Um but I think they also share it because there's other, there's like baseball, like youth baseball and stuff also plays there. Um but it was very it was weird because like the st the field itself is much smaller than a normal baseball field, but it's still it's turf, so it still had all of the baseball kind of markings, so it looked a lot smaller. And so I was trying to I spent most of the game trying to figure out how they could make it seem bigger, right? Because that's if it's professional, it's supposed to seem whatever the event is, it's supposed to seem to be a bigger way.

SPEAKER_02 48:24

So they have to cut the grass on the outfield a little bit. That makes it look bigger. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 48:28

Um but I mean it was good, like yeah. God damn it, Jack.

SPEAKER_02 48:37

I wasn't gonna laugh until Lu started. So you said they brought the walls in, so like do the the chicks play on like a smaller diamond then? Is that what it is?

SPEAKER_04 48:47

Or okay, so they had like a good enough, so you know, which is why a lot of the dumbass men want to become women and play with them so they can dominate I haven't done this in a long time. But I will let me know you got you got me curious. So are there are there is the is there seating in the outfield uh no. No, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01 49:21

So that's where the uh I I realized so I walked around the field to just kind of get an idea about like what other changes happen. Beyond the home field fence for the softball games, that's where the um the uh bullpen were. So for each team, that was where the bullpen's were because um there's no mound in fast pitch softball. They're they're at the same level as the batter. So they could just be in the outfield warming up and it's not. But no, I mean it was it was fun. You know, again, it's a it's a live event, and I like going to those types of live events just because there's always there's always like an excitement in the air and that type of thing that's kind of cool. Um fast pitch shit where they like wind their arms up like a cartoon and you don't even see the ball. Like you see her it in her hand, and then all of a sudden the catcher's catching it. You're like, what what the fuck? What what like saw a couple home runs hit? That was kind of cool. Um the cascade is what the Portland team is called. They lost, but it's fine. They're I think they're still it's it's their first dishwashers. Yeah, I guess they should have gone for that. Uh uh they should have gone for that detergent sponsorship, but um they lost to the tide.

SPEAKER_03 50:38

You can't make that up, right? They lost to the tide.

SPEAKER_01 50:42

I mean, I still vote Bodie McVoat face, but I vote that every single time somebody's like, we need a name.

SPEAKER_05 50:48

Uh you won Sunday name. Um but no, it was fun. So that was my sports story of the weekend.

SPEAKER_02 51:01

Um shit, we went to uh an A's game. A's and the Rockies.

SPEAKER_04 51:06

The one where the Rockies scored like the record amount of red runs every year.

SPEAKER_02 51:10

Yeah, like 25 to 5 or some shit.

SPEAKER_04 51:12

I'm like, oh, the most they ever scored.

SPEAKER_01 51:14

Stay in the fucking sun for that. Eight home runs and shit. Like the most home runs ever hit in a series by two teams, or like the third most ever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:26

No, it it it was hot as fuck. Little one was not having fun, so I'm like, okay, cool, whatever, we'll leave. So we only stayed for like the second inning. Was it at like UNLV stadium or something? Or no, it was at um our minor league stadium, the A's appearing, or the the Aviators. Aviators. Aviators. Yeah, I mean it was sold out. I mean, it it was a good turnout, so it's just open.

SPEAKER_04 51:50

So it'll be the Pro Stadium be domed?

SPEAKER_02 51:53

Yes, partly. It's like three quarters domed or something. Okay. I think it opens up to the strip or something like that. So it it looks pretty cool.

SPEAKER_04 52:02

I mean, don't get me wrong, West Coast teams usually have night games anyway, so it'll help a little bit mitigate that, but still, you know, a night game in Vegas is still 100 degrees.

SPEAKER_02 52:12

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it like I said, it's like three-quarter domed or something. So it it'll be fine.

SPEAKER_05 52:21

We still don't know what they're gonna be called, though.

SPEAKER_02 52:23

No. They gave us a bobblehead. My brother sold it for 10 bucks to some dude asking for it, and then he checked the eBay and it was going for 50. I laughed at him. As you should, because he's a dumbass. Why would you not look it up first?

SPEAKER_04 52:36

You're like, and here's why would you not look it up first, you know?

SPEAKER_01 52:41

What your response would have been in here's reason 3745, why you're a dumbass.

SPEAKER_05 52:48

Right. If he's ever a single dad, man, if he's if he's ever a single dad, he would celebrate Mother's Day. Great.

SPEAKER_01 53:07

We went from political Lou to nonsensical Lou. Dad drove it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 53:15

It's like it'll make sense.

SPEAKER_01 53:17

Happy Stepfather's Day, Lou. Yeah, yeah. With your roommate. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 53:22

I didn't get nothing.

SPEAKER_05 53:27

Well, I mean that's kind of world's best mom's roommate, you know, something.

SPEAKER_02 53:43

And now I know it's on Liz Christmas list. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 53:50

What'd you do for Father's Day, Jack?

SPEAKER_05 53:53

We went to go watch Toy Story. And then we went to Toy Story Five. Cinco. Episode five. Which some would say would be the best one because it's episode five. Um then for dinner we had Cap and Louie's, which is a oil

Father’s Day Wins And Fails

SPEAKER_05 54:19

sofa.

SPEAKER_01 54:20

They bring you out bibs and then just bring out a big tray and you just a bag, the servite in the bag.

SPEAKER_04 54:25

I was gonna say, is this the bag kind or the throw-on-your table kind?

SPEAKER_02 54:29

The bag, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 54:29

The bag kind. Yeah, there's there's one out here. Uh matter of fact, uh, we're celebrating my first paycheck by going to the one out here at 60 bucks buffet. So it's the 60 bucks all-you-can-eat bag.

SPEAKER_01 54:41

Nice. So, yeah. Um, they just keep bringing bags out until you tell them to stop.

SPEAKER_04 54:48

For the one I'm doing, yeah, the jack is probably a pick, like pick your stuff. You get the corn, the potatoes, and then pick whatever stuff, and you're good to go. Mine is you do that, but you can do it as many times as you want.

SPEAKER_02 55:00

But Lou likes when a bunch of bags just come to his face over and over again. He just gets being phased repeatedly.

SPEAKER_04 55:06

Four different flavors and all that. And but but everybody at the table has to do it.

SPEAKER_01 55:12

What are your other two flavors, Lou? Because I'm sure you pick white, Caucasian, uh Mexican.

SPEAKER_04 55:18

It's Mexican and Mexican's, I guess, is on the list. Asian? No, Asian's too generic. You gotta go Japanese.

SPEAKER_05 55:30

Um Chinese is okay. We're not doing Filipino. If I want Filipino, I'll have fun. And that's actually Vietnamese, I think, but whatever. Whatever. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 55:53

And then last night, um, I made everybody stay up late playing video games with me. Because I I had um I've been playing this um Marvel game from Limited Run Games. So I had to play the Captain No, the Avengers arcade game with four players. So I made them stay up and play that. For an achievement.

SPEAKER_01 56:15

You I was gonna say Father's Day, you're staying up. Yeah. I don't care if it's one of the one.

SPEAKER_04 56:23

My one wish is a ten-point. It was more than that. It has way more than ten points. Four player, that's gotta be like a 25-point team.

SPEAKER_02 56:32

At least. At least. Um, and then we played um overcooked. I've been needing help with that for a while. And since everybody had their controllers, I'm like, let's fucking go. Since we're here. Yep. Let's go. How's everyone's battery level? Still good? Alright, we're moving on. I just gave you a brand new controller. Let's go. Called overcooked. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have to like get the ingredients, you prep them, you have to cook them, plate them. It it's a whole thing. It's actually a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_04 57:06

Um I mean, it's no power washing, but whatever.

SPEAKER_01 57:10

Yeah, it's no power wash emulator.

SPEAKER_02 57:12

I will have you know those achievements last night, let me see. 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 90, 110, 140, 170 points they got me, okay? Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 57:31

Can't wait until they make achievement points like on the stock market. Like it actually is like measured against gold.

SPEAKER_05 57:40

Then I'll get involved.

SPEAKER_02 57:43

Look, I'm right on the cusp of Millennial. I need my participation trophies, okay? On what they call a Zenny. Um gift-wise, I got from Hallmark uh a Millennium Falcon, and it has coasters in it.

SPEAKER_01 58:02

I think I've seen that in the store. That's nice.

SPEAKER_02 58:04

And a uh Mandalorian barbecue set, it's like an oven mitt, and then like his um his um his blaster, the disintegrator, is like a barbecue fork. And then, since you already mentioned it, it's no longer a simulator. Your boy got a power washer.

SPEAKER_05 58:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 58:30

Stop talking about radioactive wetsuit though, so that's a little dysphornium. What next year? Next year. I mean my birthday's coming up, so yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_05 58:44

That's true. They're still uh less than two months away. We'll see. But yeah, no, that was it. Pretty chill. Sounds like a decent dad's day.

SPEAKER_01 58:57

I spent all day uh playing phone tag with my dad. He called me before I woke up. I called him three times and it went to voicemail. Uh he called me back, but the TV was up at a hundred. So I said, You need to turn the TV down. He said, Okay, and then he hung up on me. And then I called him back three more times, and he either hit the button to cancel or uh just ignored me. And then the very last time we talked, he called me back and I said, Hello, hello. And he didn't say anything and hung up.

SPEAKER_05 59:30

So really best Father's Day ever.

SPEAKER_04 59:36

Mine was simple. I called my dad, I was 11 o'clock this morning, my time. So 10 o'clock his time. I was all like uh I'll wait, make sure. I mean, he gets up at six, does his exercise, he hits a treadmill, uh, does his things. I knew he was up for a bit, but I didn't wake up till nine. So I was like, give me a chance to wake up. The first week back at work, and then uh two day or a well, I guess Friday, Saturday, two days worth of packing stuff up. I was like, man.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:10

I'm worn.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:11

I'm saying you get old, this shit happens, man. Like every I woke up this morning or yesterday. It was it yesterday morning, this morning, I think it was yesterday morning. Woke up and everything was like sore. I was like, ugh, clearly I do not use these muscles enough to be having a dress job.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:25

The muscles you used to sit in the car and drive to work and the muscles you used to sit in a chair for eight hours.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:31

For real. They do not cut it when you're trying to pack stuff up, son. They do not cut it. I will I will tell you this though. I I don't know, because I I still have plenty, I don't have to I don't have to be out until the end of July, so I have plenty of time. So I can take stuff here and there, but I'm like, do I just want to say F it and just like hire somebody to move these boxes? Do I really want to do that? Yeah. So I'll wait till we get closer to it. Um but if I can move a few boxes here and I mean it's not terrible. I moved five yesterday, and it honestly it wasn't terrible. So if I can do a handful here and there every time I take a trip down um to the new place, especially weekends, it's like, yeah, maybe it's worth it, maybe it's not. You think I gotta check it against gas mileage and the cost of gas, and it's like, is it cheaper just to get to U-Haul and make one trip with all these boxes? And then do I or you hire somebody who has a truck, you know, the companies that the two brothers moving or whatever. And then that's if somebody's half my freaking age. And has some shirts.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:42

So then afterwards you can be like, wait a second, my two thousand dollar computer is missing. What'd you do to my podcast studio? The whole thing, you you lost it. It's gone. I had a ring light and a camera, they're all gone.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:58

No, that's just going in the banker's boxes I was telling you about that go with me. That stuff goes in my truck no matter what. That and my expensive Funko, that goes in my truck no matter what.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:09

Yep. Don't trust nobody with them. Fuck them.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:14

I already have uh PTSD from 1986 when we came back from Japan and my Transformers were were missing. My Transformers, my brother's G.I. Joe's, uh, most of the He-Man, all basically all those 80s toys that we were talking about before, a couple boxes of all that shit, disappeared.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:37

Turns out it was just your parents trying to get you to grow up.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:41

Right. For real. The whole time it's in my parents' attic right now at the house in Vegas. Right. Uh grandchildren for 40 years.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:50

Yeah, exactly. If you guys actually ever had kids, you'd know where all your toys went.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:56

My brother had kids? Two of them. Boys or girls.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:01

A boy who's 33, and a girl who's a sophomore in college.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:08

That's the one that uh works at Disney. I met her last time they were out here.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:18

She was a little girl then. Fighting against the world.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:22

I know, right? That's what I'm saying. Way little girl. That was that's the only time I met her. But but that's just like circumstances, timing. You know, think about it. I've been out here for 14 years. Yeah, it means like and then and yeah, 14 years, and then what?

SPEAKER_05 1:03:42

Two more sixteen to the last eighteen years we're out here. So Yeah, and she's and if she's twenty, there you go.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:57

Luckily though, she got a really good relationship with my parents, so they get along. I mean, they see each other, they're gonna go hang out with her um uh in a in a few weeks. Right after uh for two light, they're going out there to go see her and hang out for a bit, so that's cool. Not so much with the son my my nephew. Yeah, yeah, that dude, whatever, he's a joke. But he's one of those, his mom fed him some shit, he believed it, came out and visited once, he got told the truth and didn't want to hear it.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:23

One of those situations. He's like, here's what really happened. And it was like, no, no, no. I'm like, alright, bye. You got my number, use it if you want to. And if you don't, I don't give a f I said the same thing. He reached out to me on Facebook.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:43

15 years ago.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:45

Great, that's what I'm saying. It was like, it's like, bruh, this this here's the situation, here's what happened. Oh, that's what your mom and dad said too. It's like, I know, because it's the truth. Easy to keep a story straight when it's the truth. But whatever. Yeah, you know. They do their thing. I mean, he does his thing, you know. My brother does his thing. Yeah, it's like everybody does their own thing, nobody cares. Mom and dad hang out, and they'll see my niece uh in a few weeks.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:10

So kudos to them.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:14

I've been um I got this app on my phone to keep track of all my pins. It's been a project. Oh, yeah, yeah. Actually, right now my desk is full of pins. I got some old ass pins too. Like the the backs back in the day, they used to have velvet on them.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:31

So it's like velvet right here. Yep. Yep. Hold on. Like so you judge me by my size.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:42

Well, it keeps the pin

Disney Pins And Display Ideas

SPEAKER_02 1:05:44

nice. The backs of the pins nice. Yeah. So it the pin doesn't have it, see? Just the cardback. I get that. So it keeps the card back is velvet. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:54

Oh, versus the cardboard, just straight up plastic coated cardboard or a wax coated. Whatever the hell that is. Okay, I got you. I thought you meant the pin itself. So whatever you push it against the phone.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:06

And the evolution of the pin bags too, I thought was interesting when I was going through mine.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:12

It's R2 Mickey. One of the OG ones. Yeah. This one wasn't even in the app, so I have to submit it.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:22

It's a Indiana Jones one. And the little one for me.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:29

Yeah. This one's missing. Here's evidence that it exists.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:34

Yep, pretty much. But the weird thing is they have a bunch of these, but not all of them. Like even this one from Delhi Brand. Yeah. So they have this one was in there from Japan, but they don't have this one from Japan.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:50

It's very strange. But um yeah, I have way too many. Way too many. Let me see. Are you actually gonna display them or are you just inventorying them? Eventually. These worked really well for me. Four pins.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:27

So I found these my sister found these at Dollar Tree and they work actually really well.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:34

Is that the pin?

SPEAKER_01 1:07:36

Yeah, it's it's like a hex. Uh but they're like they're um like a half inch thick, so the pinbacks don't come through the back. A lot of these, like you go on an Etsy and stuff like that, they're way too thin. So you put the pins through and then they pop through the back. So that would suck. So originally uh for Christmas last year. Look, I have that pin D.

unknown 1:08:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:02

Twinsies. Yeah. So last year my sister got me two of these for Christmas. One says Star Wars, and the other one has the um Cinderella's Castle, but they're like super thin. So if I push down hard on the pins, they come through the back. No, they are. If you push down on them, it's yeah. So she found ones that were thicker and were at Dollar Tree, so they were cheap as cheap as hell. That's cool.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:26

You could always just get some uh go to Hobby Lobby, get some corkboard and glue at the back.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:34

But at Dollar Tree, you can get like a pack of three of them. So and the nice thing about these is you can like build them out however you want. And you can orient them any way you want to.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:45

So no, I just I just meant so you don't so you don't waste the usage. Because it's like if you don't want to use them because the thing is too short, just go go fill up the back. I mean you can use it.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:56

I mean, I'm still using them, but I would have the the nice thing about those is like you the ones on Etsy and stuff, typically you can get like labels. So it's Star Wars or Disney or whatever. So if you want to have like a themed board with only those types of pins.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:12

Yeah, I don't want that because I'm just gonna cover anyway. It's like, oh, let's let's have this words on here. Oh, I just covered them up with all my pins. And if you don't do that, then you're wasting space because you left space open for the words, and now you need more boards at a higher cost. So it's like uh I'd like it if the way you showed it to hex and the flat part up top, I'd like the top part to have like a you know, like a one-inch tall lab that that would be the label, that would be badass.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:43

So but that would be my suggestion. They all they have a ton of different ones on Etsy. Uh, I almost got one that was shaped like the Millennium Falcon. It was like the outline of the Millennium Falcon. So not necessarily hex ones. If you want to get ones with different that would be another way, Lou, to work around the labeling, right? Is that you just have it be some sort of iconic outline from the movie or event space or whatever. Um like uh except the con.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:12

My oldest, I got her uh a Marie-shaped board and an orange bird-shaped board. So yeah, like Mickey Ears.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:19

So the one that you're talking about, Duke, that has the Star Wars that was printed on it, the castle, so is it shaped like the castle or is the castle printed on it?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:28

No, that it had the castle and the so the Star Wars, let's see.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:32

The Star Wars one looked like it said Star Wars.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:35

It did.

unknown 1:10:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:37

So the one she got me two. She got me one that says Star Wars, and then one plate. Okay, that one. But like the Disney one had like the same type of thing, but it had Cinderella's castle in the background. Okay. Or as the how big is it?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:50

And could like look looking at that one, like is it the whole thing top to bottom?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:55

How big is the castle? Yeah, how big? The castles, the castles was only like that big. So I mean it was it was kind of a small profile picture. But again, it's just more of I think if you want to just identify like somebody looking at it real quick, you could say, Oh, this is my Star Wars pin set, you know. So but as you can see, I mean, like I got my the almost the whole set of the San Diego pins and stuff like that. I tried to kind of break them down into like where I had gotten them from, too. So like a lot of these were uh a lot of them were San Diego or San Diego adjacent ones or Disneyland type ones.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:32

Um I like those black and gold ones on the right, a little bit upper right.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:38

Yeah, those are from the the movie theaters. Yeah, that was episode one. They had you bought like uh if you if you like got the like they were all and all the money was all the money went to like St. Jude's or whatever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:52

Oh, you know what? I think I have one.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:55

So there was three of them in total. There was a Vader. Jack, if I remember correctly, we were able to get the C3PO and the Vader one. The Yoda one, I think we had to work hard to find. Like it was not there was one of them out of the three that were uh super popular. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:13

That's cool. But I do remember that though. But I don't remember I remember the Vader. I don't remember the other two at all.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:20

Yeah. That was when Jack and I used to spend a lot of time together just driving around looking for shit. So much time together looking for shit. So much shit. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:31

If our background story, my last two days, so much shit. I'm going through, I'm looking, I'm like, what is in this box that I taped up? Star Wars Celebration 2022 pants. Oh, okay. What's in this box that I bought? Star Wars Celebration 2015. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:53

But the cool part is when you finally get around to it, it's like Christmas.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:56

You're like, oh yeah. Yep. Found a brand new person.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:02

Lou, after you get done moving and uh have gone through all your stuff, we'll have to do a unboxing or something.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:09

Like a fucking time capsule or something.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:11

Yeah. Of like our favorite celebration or favorite Comic-Con collectibles or whatever.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:19

Because I got a two-year lease, and I ain't unboxing any of that shit until I get a place of my own.

unknown 1:13:26

Period.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:27

So you don't have a roommate. That basement correct. The roommate would have had to have upgraded or disappeared. It's one of the two.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:39

Um I like how Lewis disappeared.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:44

I mean, I'll try to be polite about it. But but no, if the roommate upgrades, fine, we'll get a place together. But in that place, kind of like I had in my house in Vegas, there was a Star Wars room. Um, and that's where the magic happens. That's when the unboxing, that's when it's gonna be like, oh although so much shit, because I still got my storage in Vegas, I'm gonna need a damn barn.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:11

Uh, we loo.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:14

My my my and my casita will be just trucking collectibles left and right between Funko and Star Wars. It's just not too much. I don't I don't mean Transformers, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:25

So you know they're trying to do the the Sand Suite, uh Gus Lopez, like the guys that are like the collectors who have way too much money. Um they started a series on YouTube to start uh voting things in. So like there's four of them that I think are the four kind of big heavy hitters that want to do this saga museum. Um and they've started so each of them is like bringing something, and then the four of them are talking about

Collecting Culture And A Saga Museum

SPEAKER_01 1:14:55

it, and then they are picking one thing that's gonna go into the like the they call it the saga vault, but I'm guessing it's gonna be they're already now starting to pick things that are gonna go into this saga museum. They've been trying to they've been trying to fund for a couple of years, and this week the first episode was about Mandalorian stuff or uh Mandalorian adjacent stuff, and they had some pretty cool stuff. Like Sandsuite brought the rocket firing fett. Um Gus Lovers brought some artist rendering that was like one of the first drawings of Boba Fett that exists. Um one of them brought the um why can't I think of the name? The costumes with the plastic mask and the plastic uh poncho um um the monkey ones. Fuck. I know it's shocking about yeah, uh, which was pretty cool because it was like an OG one before like Boba Fett was even a thing, so it's like a silver mask with like red uh red under the eyes, and then the fourth thing was four photos from like the Kenner marketing department that they took. They were like little three by five photos. Um, but then one of those photos was actually then used in the card back for Boba Fett, like the first Boba Fett figure, where he's doing like the the firing the fire um off his gauntlet. Yep, yep. Um and I think they well they so that what they do is all four of them talk about their thing and why it belongs in the museum, and then the four of them vote on which thing, and then they open up a straw poll basically for people to vote in, and then they give it a few days, so then next week they'll talk about which one won. Kind of cool. Like it's I think it's gonna definitely do like engag get engagement and that type of thing. Oh yeah, for sure. But I'll send you guys a link because I mean again, it's it I love seeing that shit. Like these guys who have you know, I mean, like like there is no way in hell Sansuite has every single thing he ever has owned memorized, you know. No so having them dig out like these these things that potentially they haven't even seen in decades. You know. Um kind of cool. So just going along with Lou's going to need a barn.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:11

That'll that'll be me when not from here, but when I pull the storage stuff to whatever permanent place I end up at and start as background, and start opening those boxes, that's where it's gonna be. Because I did sell a lot of the stuff. It was like I'm not keeping all this stuff when I left from Vegas to here. Um, but there's gonna be some things that are like like one of it stands out is and and I think it was Celebration 3, uh, but it might have been Comic-Con. I don't know, I have to know. Um, the the limited to 500 pieces of the Lego, like it's a cube, and it has like royal guards and celebration three, yeah. It was celebration three, right? Okay, yeah. That one, I'm looking forward to whichever box is gonna have because I don't know. I was like, okay, I'm gonna open some stuff. It's like this is the box. I'm looking forward to seeing that again, you know, that type of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:59

That was like the first time that that was like the Emperor's throne card. Yeah, it's Emperor's thrown room, yeah. With like him and then two royal guards, but it was like a little, it was a cube like that big, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:08

Yeah, good size.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:09

Yeah, you got it. Yep.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:12

I think I sold mine. I was gonna say, did you sell yours like five years ago? Yeah. Maybe longer. I think I sold it for Harrison Ford autographs, so fair trade.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:24

I mean, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:25

I definitely have sold more stuff in my lifetime than I actually currently have. Like having to kind of go back and dig through the archives of my brain to try to figure out what needs to be replaced.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:49

He is poorly spent, or was it?

SPEAKER_01 1:18:54

It was fun, worth it.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:55

Yeah, I don't I don't end up having to pay for half of it.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:01

Yeah. Yeah. No, I uh I mean, all of those trips that we took and all that stuff that we did, like I have zero regrets for any of it, you know.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:32

I was gonna say, Lou, get your thumb up, and when he reads the movie, we can give it a thumbs up or thumbs down, or go haven't seen it, and then we can talk about it.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:39

Alright, sounds like a plan. Let's I like it. All right. Send help. Good fortune.

Thumbs Up Movie Lightning Round

SPEAKER_05 1:19:50

Wait, thumbs down means we haven't seen it, right? Or is that no thumbs down?

SPEAKER_01 1:19:54

Let's go sideways. Yeah, sideways. Yeah, okay. I will I will do this. I will I will give it this. I liked it, but I thought that there was some there was stuff on left on the table. Like it I feel like it could have been better.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:09

Alright. Apex. Nobody too. Nobody to? Yeah. Uh where he goes on vacation?

SPEAKER_01 1:20:19

No, I haven't seen that one yet. Backrooms.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:23

Which one is that?

SPEAKER_01 1:20:24

That's the one that just came out. Like a crazy one. It's all yellow and horror creepy movie everybody's gonna be. It's like a closed circuit city or some shit, right? Like it's a furniture store.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:34

I don't remember that one. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:36

But it's like based on like uh based on like an internet YouTube thing from Flight Risk.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:46

Bald Marky Mark. Yeah. I liked it. It was entertaining enough. Yeah, I agree.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:55

Um secret movie, Tuner. I know we saw that a million ago. About the piano tuner guy.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:01

Yeah, the trailer that we talked about many years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:06

That was crazy. It was a secret movie for a movie that wasn't coming out for like three weeks.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:10

Right? That was like the furthest out we've seen one in a long time.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:13

Yeah. I I wanted it, it was on my list anyway to watch, so I'm glad it was a secret movie. And uh I enjoyed it. Went by myself because old girl's dad was in town, and she missed out.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:23

It was really good. It was entertaining for sure. I dug it. Um We Live in Time.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:31

Uh, which one says we don't know what that movie is? Which thumb is that?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:36

Um, this one has Andrew Garfield and um Florence Pugh in it. She hits him with her car, and then it's a little bit older. It's a love story. But 2024. Okay. Yeah. It's an A24 movie, so that like automatically gives it worth a watch.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:55

Yeah, you automatically get a get a chat a chance.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:58

Yeah. Um I watched that.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:01

You guys probably haven't seen that yet. Not seen obsession, no. Totally worth it. Make it the movie.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:07

It's fucking amazing. Um, disclosure day.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:12

We're I think we're seeing it on Tuesday. Okay. So we had an option last weekend between the Furious and uh Disclosure Day, and I was like, the Furious is starting to. It's also starting to wind down in the theater. So I was like, we should go now before we have to go at like 4 30 or some shit, because that's the only time it's playing.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:32

So did you like The Furious?

SPEAKER_01 1:22:33

Oh, yeah. The Furious was great.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:35

Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:41

I think the fight scenes had a few too many cuts for me, just because I'm I guess I'm spoiled with those movies not having cuts. Because to me, it means I mean, especially when you watch the behind-the-scenes stuff with like the raid and the raid two, where you see them like 18 months before they've even started filming, and the people that are in the fight and the director are all working out where the camera's gonna be, how things are what looks good, what doesn't look good. So then when they get to actually shooting, they've already pre-vised the entire fight. So they so they know, oh, we can go at this angle and it looks better when he kicks up because this angle makes it look like he's actually connecting, where if we were over here, it wouldn't. And so a lot of fight movies will do that by doing cuts. Uh instead of You know what though?

SPEAKER_04 1:23:30

I think because they were two uh protagonists, you kind of had to do cuts because you're going back and forth to different fights.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:37

Right, right, right. And I and but that was my I I think that was where my I think that was my kind of one of my problems was like with the raid and the raid two and all of that series of movies. Not that series, but those that genre. It's way more either one guy against a group or two people fighting each other. And so when they did the thing at the end of the movie when they both kind of split off and one's down here doing the fights and the other's doing like to me, one's upstairs, one's downstairs. In my head, I was like, they're hiding something. They're you know what I'm saying? So that was all. Like, I didn't have a problem with them having two separate fights, but I wish we would have seen the whole fight as opposed to them going back and forth. I don't know. That's just how I view fights in movies now because of the raid and that type of thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:25

Are they like one fight's over, then we're gonna back up ten minutes and go to the other fight?

SPEAKER_01 1:24:28

No, no, no, no, no. Like, but just that the fights are going from one to another.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:32

Like, not that JJ Abrams write this fucking movie?

SPEAKER_01 1:24:34

Jesus. Fuck. So every dark movie has been. That was my only kind of issue with it, but I didn't I mean the bald guy, the the the ram man of that movie.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:46

Oh yeah, the ram man dude. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:49

Especially spoilers, especially when they especially when they kill him, and then 45 minutes later he's like, whoo, hoo. And I'm like, everybody in the theater was like, Whaaaaa.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:03

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:04

It was a fun movie, though. It was a funny no no no, I definitely enjoyed it. Bike fight at the end, hilarious. Um my god.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:13

When I when because again, this was a secret movie. I went to the well, I didn't go to it, I just uh it popped up that people were talking about it. Secret movie was The Furious, people were talking about it. The bike fight was probably the most common uh comment uh on on the on the post. It was pretty funny. It was like, oh my god, that bike fight at the end. I'm like, wow, okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:33

But like the club fight and stuff, that was pretty good. That was really good.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:37

Uh yeah. That that's why I was telling you guys last week after, or whatever it was when I said it, after watching The Furious, and then trying to come home that same night and finish Iron Fist and watching those fight scenes, it was like, oh god, this is terrible. The choreography on this is nothing like the furious that we just saw an hour ago.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:59

So yeah, yeah. Also, I would say if you haven't watched the behind the scenes stuff about the raid and the raid 2, definitely check it out. Those you can't do that. Lou has a word and front scene stuff from the raid 2.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:10

I was gonna say, you gotta watch the raid and the raid 2 first.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:12

Oh shit. All right, Lou, we're gonna we're gonna come in here one night but without doing a podcast, and we're gonna watch that shit together because that is in my top five movies of all time. That is yeah. Especially the raid. The raid's just fantastic.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:27

So Xbox needs to go back to that theater watching when you could just that was so much fun.

SPEAKER_00 1:26:32

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:34

Alright. Um, Rental Family.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:36

I need to who that was too.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:38

Rental Family, that was the Brendan Fraser. Brendan Fraser, yeah. I've not seen it because I'm not ready to cry. So um maybe this week? It it's not quite a tearjerker. It's a sweet movie. I wouldn't see Tear Jerker, though. Okay. All right. I think I have a I yeah, I think I have access to it, so I'll have to look it up. Um if I had legs, I would kick you. Same. I downloaded it, but I haven't watched it.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:03

I don't know what that is.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:04

Um it 824, so it's worth a watch. Um, it's about this lady. She has a kid that is sick somehow. Something drunk. I don't think they ever actually say what. But the whole movie she's trying to get her off of her feeding tube. And just like all the drama that comes along with being not necessarily a single mom, but her husband's like out of town on business a lot. So like just being a single mom with having a sick kid and all this shit going on.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:36

Um did didn't Rose Byrne get right? That's Rose Byrne.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:40

And she got like nominated for an Oscar for that, right? I think so, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:46

It was okay, in my opinion. But I've lived that, so I think that might be part of my problem. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 1:27:52

Yeah. So like you were you're in your head, you're filling in the gaps.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:57

Yeah, I'm like, okay, I yeah. Why am I watching a movie about my life? Fuck this.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:03

Right? Um Where's my royalty check? Right? Roofman?

unknown 1:28:09

Dang.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:11

What'd you think of it? I liked it. It was entertaining. Yeah. It didn't change my life.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:17

I don't know. I wanted to watch it badly, and then I can't push it off because I know he gets caught, and I'm like, I'm less interested now.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:27

That's the journey, Lou. Not the destination.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:29

I know, I know. And eventually. Man, there's Toys R Us. There's like a Toys R Us out here, and like I can go to Toys R Us Canada.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:39

If I ever go to Canada. But you can do it from your couch. Um you don't even need to leave.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:46

One more time. Eddington. Uh Walking Phoenix was the sheriff. Mandalorian's the mayor.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:53

COVID. And didn't jarring. No.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:58

I I watched like half of it. And then I think I fell as well. I fell asleep. Not because I not because of the movie. I think I fell I fell asleep because it was late and it was one of those where, oh yeah, this movie will keep me up, but there wasn't like enough going on. Because it's slow and right at the end it gets batshit crazy.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:16

Um I enjoyed it a little bit. I don't think I'd watch it again, but it was entertaining. It was worth watching.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:21

Yeah. And then Toy Story 5, but we already talked about that. But look at that. Hour and a half.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:31

Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:36

How much of last week's episode what ended up getting cut out? Girl. I just left it. Oh, look at that. Fuck it.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:44

Yeah. Somebody's like, it's too long for my commute. I'm like, watch it over two days then. Right? Shit. Listen to it in bed. Or listen. Yeah, break it up. Let it get you to the movie.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:56

Yeah. We'll lower you to sleep with our dulset tones.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:01

Yeah. Just right in the middle of uh in the middle of the pod. Yeah. Let's all go to the lobby. Although what came out okay, besides Toy Story, I'm trying to figure out what to watch on Tuesday.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:19

I don't think there's I mean, not I don't think anything came out.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:26

They should have been. I mean, let's be real. I I gotta imagine the box office blew the hell up.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:32

So for Tuesday.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:35

I would give Toy Story like a story.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:38

Scary movie still playing. Obsession, backrooms. Girls like girls. Oh, Death of Robin Hood came out.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:45

Ooh. I'd watch that. I want to see Obsession and Backrooms, but horror movies girls don't do, so I'll have to watch that on my own. So something that we could watch on Tuesday would be the Robin Hood movie. And I think that was that was a both brothers.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:00

And the following week, Tuesday movies will be between Jackass, Supergirl, and Minions.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:08

No to Jackass.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:10

What's the third one? Uh Minions and Supergirl. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:15

Okay, so I guess nothing to watch. Great.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:18

Uh 20th anniversary of Talladay Good Nights, Lou.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:22

I've never seen that movie, so I don't I don't know if I want to waste it. What? What? I've been over this. I haven't seen a lot of these popular movies like Titanic and Snow White.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:36

And Young Washington comes out on July 7th.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:40

Secret movie. I'll have that watched on next Monday.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:43

But it looks like that's all that's really coming out for the 4th, too.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:49

Wait.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:50

Young Washington comes on after the 4th of July?

SPEAKER_01 1:31:53

No. So I'm looking at Tuesday the 7th.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:56

Oh, Tuesday.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:57

Young Washington comes out on the Young Washington will premiere on the second Thursday and be in full on Friday the third.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:05

The third, yeah. Okay. I'm all I that don't make any sense.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:08

Sorry, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:08

I understand why there's so many horror movies that come out in April. Like, save that shit for October.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:14

All of my movies are based on Tuesday. So when I talk about movie stuff, it's never, oh, it premiered on Friday. It's like, oh, I can watch it on Tuesday. Like, because again, the list of movies, I mean, hell, I didn't even see Mando and Grogu on opening night. I waited until Tuesday. Like, just because it's like, it's such a fucking hassle and it's so fucking expensive. I can go on Tuesday for six dollars. And I'm like, you know what? Jack bought enough fucking bullshit. Popcorn buckets and figures and dildos and whatever the fuck else he bought. He's got me covered. I can go on Tuesday. And he bought what he bought.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:50

Dildo definitely has you covered. That's for sure.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:53

It's weird because it's like the one from the Do you buy concessions when you go to these movies? Sometimes. Sometimes I'll get a drink.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:03

But Duke single-handedly destroying the movie industry.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:08

I'm just thinking it makes more sense for you to get like one of them programs like we got where you get 25% off concessions, one free movie a week, and it's ten or a month and it's ten bucks, and like you'll get that money back easily.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:20

But I'm look- but like I'm looking on the seventh and I don't see anything. So I'm like, well okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:27

Yeah, but I'm saying you gotta go once a month and it pays for itself.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:31

On the 14th, I can go see Evil Dead Burn or Moana.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:36

Evil Dead Burn for sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:39

Just to see the guy get bent over backwards from the onto the um dishwasher. More than so.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:47

I mean after next weekend.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:51

No, I'm gonna be staring at the fact he doesn't have nipples.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:56

Which is disturbing. What else is that? Where else are they gonna put the clamps on? The little guy's got a hold of Does that little guy have a name? That the animated dude in his chest? No, it's just his tattoo, I think.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:20

Okay. I I couldn't remember. I was like, I don't think he has a nibble.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:23

The little guy has nipples. Maui wouldn't have nipples because he's a god. Right. Wait, well man.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:33

Can you milk me, Jackson?

SPEAKER_01 1:34:36

Are we excited about Spider-Man a brand new day? I'm now just kind of going through the future.

SPEAKER_00 1:34:40

No.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:41

I mean, more excited than Supergirl.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:43

I'm not even gonna see Supergirl. Ilya Cox wants to be a bit, so fuck her. She's gonna she's gonna pull a Rachel Ziggler, then alright, I wanna go watch a movie. Whoa. Yeah, he's as he goes everything.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:04

It was like he says as he goes to a Thursday three o'clock show and leaves work early.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:12

Yeah, no, we already got tickets for Supergirl and Minions and Moana and Spider Man.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:19

I'm on it. Minions we might see with the little one. I don't know. Uh I expected her to go take her to see Toy Story 5 this weekend and she didn't. So uh but but but trade was Friday, oh Saturday morning, so like no real time. Tuesday will probably be the Robin Hood movie. The following Tuesday will probably be Minions or Supergirl. Depends on if uh they went to go see Minions already, you know, because she might want to see. I don't know, I haven't talked to her about it. So busy worried about this movie and stuff that I'm not really like I'll get to that when I get to that. Like it'll be one of those, hey, it's Tuesday. Do you want to watch something? Like, oh yeah, here are our choices, and then I'll just buy the ticket that morning. So maybe next Monday. Actually, it'll probably be next Monday. We'll we'll go to our secret movie, and then we'll probably pick what our next day movie is gonna be after Secret.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:12

Good plan. Good plan. The the other argument for the Tuesday movie is typically there's less people than there is on Friday. And I will tell you.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:19

Oh, you crazy, not out here.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:21

I will say in general, there's been a couple exceptions where big movies have come out, but in general, Tuesdays is way slower. And I will tell you, the worst part of the movie going experience is the people. The other people fucking suck. They are the fucking worst. I'm I will have the elbow to get

Why Moviegoers Ruin Movies

SPEAKER_01 1:36:43

15-year-old next to me. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:46

Although, you know what though, I'll give him credit. He when he was on his phone, um, it wasn't bothering me. I just knew he was on his phone because he did the whole t-shirt thing where he put it under his shirt or a sweatshirt. But even that, whatever he had on. Pay attention to the fucking thing. It was like, if you if you're gonna do it, do it that way. Because that's what I do. When I text you guys what the secret movie is, I'll do the same thing. I'm under my shirt, and uh, you know, I'll look down and I'll text you guys uh if I'm not standing off to the side because of how packed it is.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:12

But that's why we get pictures of your nipples sometimes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:15

Sometimes sometimes. Hey, just be happy the camera's turned that way. You can get pictures of something else.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:20

Um he just has you just have really bad nipples, Lou.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:23

His little fucking metal water bottle that he clunks when you hit the cement ground in the studio in the theater, um, and then his crinkly bag of chips or whatever he was eating, that almost got him knocked the fuck out. Uh after the movie was over, O Girl was all like, you showed great restraint. I was like, I I almost pulled it out of his hand. I was like, I don't give a like you don't again, you get to this age, that that shit's not a joke. When they're all like, oh, you're old and cranky, I'm like, you're right. I don't have the patience, I don't give a shit. I mean, I'm like, I was ready to throw down with him and his three friends. Like, I don't even care. It was just, bruh, show some respect. Your crumple comfort was like, man, you have a bag. Reach into the bag, grab whatever you're getting. You don't need to put your whole fucking fist in there and fist the bag.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:09

Man. Well, if he met his girlfriend, you would know that's how generally it works. It's never just one finger.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:13

It's always for his boyfriend. Let's be real. That's June, man, is June. Don't, don't hate it.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:18

It could be his boyfriend. Alright, let's hit stop so that we're like normal this week. I know, right? Bye, y'all. Bye. Till next week.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:31

Thanks for tolerating the other two.
