A single question blows the whole room up: is a hot dog a sandwich? We don’t just argue “yes” or “no” we argue the rules, because the answer changes the second you define what a sandwich even is. Two separate slices of bread? A bun that counts as one piece? Bread plus filling no matter what? Somewhere in the middle we also learn far too much about microwaves, steamed buns, and the kinds of opinions people will defend like it’s a court case.
Then we swing hard into movie review mode with Disclosure Day. We give credit where it’s due, but we also dig into the moments that made us roll our eyes: plot leaps, characters acting dumber than they should, and big themes like empathy and religion that get teased and then left behind. If you love breaking down story structure, this part hits all the classic “why didn’t the script just do X?” questions.
From there it’s pure pop culture podcast chaos in the best way: quick reactions to recent watches, debate about what we want from superhero movies and shared universes, and a full-on Star Wars trivia gauntlet where we argue the questions as much as we answer them. We round it out with real-life check-ins (work stress, moving plans, Fourth of July waterfront music) and collector talk about Funko Pop pricing, exclusives, and why clearance shelves are getting wild.

Is A Hot Dog A Sandwich
SPEAKER_02It's a jack sandwich. Yeah, yeah. Now I see a drag sandwich. As it should be. As it should be. Are hot dog sandwiches?
SPEAKER_01Well see, when this question comes up, there's only one follow-up question. How are you defining a sandwich? Simple as that.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Yep. I say.
SPEAKER_01And once you have that answer, then we can answer the question.
SPEAKER_00Why do you say no? It's a hot dog. A sandwich is two pieces of bread, not a a cradle.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So what if you separated the the buns? Because that happens to be a big thing.
SPEAKER_00How many times have you put a hot dog in the microwave and pulled it out, and then the the bun is like like microwave my buns? Wait. Should we weirdo? What? You microwave the hot dog, then you put the bun in the hot dog in the bun. No, you put the hot dog in the bun, you wrap it in a paper towel, and then you put it in the microwave. That's how he steams the bun. Right. Why do you need to steam the bun? Thank you, Lou. Holy shit. Guys, mark this. Second time Lou and I have agreed on something. Oh shit! And we didn't even have to have a conversation. It was just natural, just connected. Boom. No, that's how you make a fucking hot dog.
SPEAKER_01You want some stiff ass bread for your hot dog? Is that what you're saying?
SPEAKER_00No, Jack was actually just writing it down, was what he did.
SPEAKER_01Jack likes hard buns, apparently.
SPEAKER_00They're not hard if you keep the bread properly.
SPEAKER_01They're also not steamed. Like, come on now. You ever had a hot dog from a hot dog cart?
SPEAKER_00Costco? Costco steams their buns.
SPEAKER_01Yes, and I'm saying so does Sam's. 7-Eleven. You were in New York recently. Those carts, you got buns on one side being steamed, you know, underneath the with the hot dogs being boiled and whatnot. So you're so your buns are nice and soft. I wanna I wanna put my hands in those soft buns, Jack. Come on, man.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Buns of steel.
SPEAKER_01Buns of steel is a hot dog a sandwich. Like the moment, the moment you tear the bread apart, and you got it by your definition, the hot dog in between the top and bottom bun, yes, then it's it becomes a sandwich. Again, depends on what your definition is. So like they do make those cradle buns, right? That's unlikely to break, therefore it could never br it can never be a sandwich on that definition.
SPEAKER_02So the answer is maybe. Maybe.
SPEAKER_01Again, that every time I've had this question come up like once a year from somebody. Um just fucking around at a bar, whatever. And it's and it's like, not answer that question until you define a sandwich for me. Then I'll tell you.
SPEAKER_02What other definitions of sandwich have you got? Right?
SPEAKER_01What some it's it's just bri bread, bread with some kind of filling. Like filling as in peanut butter and jelly, put those together and makes a sandwich. So the filling is the peanut butter and jelly. Right. The filling could be Nutella, whatever. Uh, but the key was uh bread and a filling. Like you could take one piece of bread, fold it in half, whatever filling, and that's considered a sandwich by some people too.
SPEAKER_00That's a hot piece of the bread. Also considered a hot dog bun at that point. Once you fold it your bread.
SPEAKER_01My point exactly. That's why it has to be defined. That exists.
SPEAKER_03I didn't have hot dog buns until I was a man.
SPEAKER_01Man, I didn't see I didn't I didn't have all that money either, but we didn't do it that way, man. I took us I no, you take you take two hot dogs and you slice them long ways and you fold them open and you put an assure meat on slices of bread, a regular slice of bread.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Don't don't talk about don't talk about slicing hot dogs down the middle. That's uh Jack had some really weird bad flashbacks from that. But that would make it a hot dog sandwich, Lou.
SPEAKER_01You might, again, based on definition, it very well might. Hot dog sandwich. Or if a hot dog is a sandwich, it's redundant, you can just call it a hot dog still.
SPEAKER_02See? So where are you going? Vaguely in the rich asking the uh the hard the hard questions. Yeah, that's what we do. We want to make you think. We're educational here. Yeah. Don't get mad at us because we're sophisticated. Yeah. Lou is just mostly the fist part. It was one time. Come on.
SPEAKER_03Oh great. Now Fist is gonna be black in the next movie. Thanks.
SPEAKER_00So is it still a hot dog if there's a is it still a f is it still a hot dog if there's a hallway involved? And it's your mom.
SPEAKER_02I was gonna lie, there's a hoe joke somewhere in here, but okay. There it is. That was random. Where did that come up?
SPEAKER_01Where like I you started off the pot with that shit.
SPEAKER_00He wanted that joke. He he was setting it up. He was waiting. And I didn't ask about the sandwich. Jack asked about the sandwich.
SPEAKER_01That's what I'm saying. You started off with that. Is a hot dog a sandwich? I'm like, where did what were you thinking of that that was the first thing that came out?
SPEAKER_03No, somebody else had hot dogs.
SPEAKER_01What? No. Nobody, nobody was talking about hot dogs. Jack Dog was sitting there you jumped right into it.
SPEAKER_00Earlier today, you were sitting there with his hot hot dog and his cold ass bun, going like, man, I need to ask these these guys about this.
SPEAKER_02He don't even remember.
SPEAKER_03He's like, We'll see when I listen back to it. We'll see. We'll see.
SPEAKER_01See, nobody talked about a hot dog. It's just you just jumped on and started it. And my first thought was what was he doing that the hot dog was the first thing on his mind with the pod start.
SPEAKER_00There was a hallway involved.
SPEAKER_01Wait, what?
SPEAKER_02Hey oh or hey ho, whatever. Hey. Did you have hot dogs for lunch or dinner? No.
SPEAKER_00I did have a sandwich though. But he wanted a hot dog. That's the thing. He was eating the sandwich. He was like, man, this would be so much better if it was a hot dog. Well, you know I how I love the tube steaks. That's true.
SPEAKER_01Which could have also been a sandwich anyway, so he still got a sandwich when he got the hot dog, or a hot dog when he got the sandwich. Again, it depends.
SPEAKER_02Wild.
SPEAKER_01Hi everybody, welcome to the pod. You were seven minutes in, and that's what you get. Hot dog talk.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. You're gonna have to send us what the uh the AI decides to name this.
SPEAKER_01Right. But at least this time it really is hot dogs and the food and not some other euphemism.
SPEAKER_00So you're welcome.
SPEAKER_03For once.
SPEAKER_01We're talking about hot dogs and buns, and we mostly kept it clean. Right? Mostly.
SPEAKER_03Mostly. Mostly.
SPEAKER_02Jack's buns of steel notwithstanding. I mean, I do have a Chewbacca pillow under my butt.
SPEAKER_00And you're also and you also have to take into account you actually have to have a butt to have buttons of buns of steel. This is true. So I have squats. There's one thing all three of us can agree is Jack has no butt. This man has no ass.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, if you've seen his jeans, they slide just straight off.
SPEAKER_03There's like I wear three belts and suspenders.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. You do what you gotta do.
SPEAKER_03Oh, Roosevelt should make some suspenders.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Some work from work suspenders. Then they would cover your shirts and they don't want that. That's true. I'm almost certain they don't want that. That's true.
SPEAKER_00Oh, uh did we talk about disclosure day? Because I finally saw it. I don't think we did.
SPEAKER_01Didn't we hold that thought because you hadn't seen it?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah, because I was seeing it on Tuesday. Because you were watching it. Uh I will admit I was pretty disappointed. Really? This the script the script just did not like the acting was great. The like cinematography was great. I liked the idea, but I just felt I Yeah, we've talked about this before. I mean, we've been doing this shit
Disclosure Day Review And Nitpicks
SPEAKER_00for long enough now.
SPEAKER_02A lot of these opinions I think are repeats, but um I hate the the movies where the dumb thing is what moves the story forward.
SPEAKER_00So like I mean, I guess it doesn't matter, spoilers, at this point. So like to me a couple of weeks and we've all seen it. Yeah. So the first time my eyes kind of rolled a little bit was when he like bailed on his girlfriend, who again he hasn't told anything about what's going on. But yet he also knows that they have this ability to like leap, like manifest themselves in front of like I don't remember what they call it, but when they like basically like enter someone's head and then can like manifest themselves as being like a vision type thing. Like the fact that he didn't like share that with his girlfriend when he's known about this type of stuff for a really long time, and then all of a sudden then she's like, Oh yeah, now I'm in now he controls me type of thing.
SPEAKER_03I was like, Sir, classified information, loose lips think ships.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no, no, no, not that. I think he did tell her and she knew about it, which is why when it happened, she was trying to hurt herself to prevent it. Kind of like what you do when you're taking a lie detector test, and you like have the pin in your foot and your shoe and do stuff like that or whatever. So I think just like like the movie started, and shit was already going on that we didn't know about, obviously. I think she did because I thought the same thing. I was like, what? I'm like, oh wait, she knows what's happening, that's why she's trying to hurt herself to quote unquote wake herself.
SPEAKER_00Okay, okay. That wasn't my opinion in the movie. So I guess that's and then and then the other one that really stood out to me was towards the end when um the bad guy shows up in the house and he tells everybody to leave, and they literally have a 30-second conversation before two of them come bursting back on the door. Hi, what's going on? And I'm just like, Are you really? Like, that's gonna that like you just told all of them to leave. You yelled at them, get the fuck out of the house. Especially those two guys, because uh they ended up being oh, ones that also worked at the same company. And I'm just like, there were a couple times like that where I was just like, I was like, that's how you're move, like that's how you're gonna like pass, like get through this obstacle, right? Is somebody doing something dumb that they're smarter than they're their characters should be smarter than what they did. Does that make sense?
SPEAKER_01You know what's interesting though, with that, as stupid as that was, I don't recall that that was actually detrimental.
SPEAKER_00Like they didn't use that information to really because they were able to track those two people as being other people who had left that the bad company, and then they traced their cell phones.
SPEAKER_01Did they? Okay. I remember they looked them up. They looked them up and okay, okay, got it. If I remember so I was like, why was that even useful? Okay.
SPEAKER_00If I remember they triangulated their cell phones and were able to get the date the area that they were in, and then they like it's they were like heat signatures, and then they're like, none of these other buildings have more than one heat signature except for this one building that has 40. And I'm like, now now we're like real, like I don't know. Like to me, it seemed like there were a few leaps of faith that my brain just couldn't do throughout the movie. So it yeah. I mean, I it was fine. I probably won't watch it again. Um I mean I liked the ideas. Uh I like the idea of like the aliens presenting as animals to not scare us, yeah, to to to calm you down or whatever.
SPEAKER_01Um yeah, because that's not creepy.
SPEAKER_00Probably creepy once you get into the spaceship, but you know, uh especially when it comes to kids, right? Because kids are inherently s you know, more quote unquote more innocent.
SPEAKER_03Um but uh well for any aliens listening to this, you can present yourself as Emily Blunt and I will believe everything you say.
SPEAKER_02What did you guys think? Sorry. Um, I liked it. It was entertaining enough. I'm with you though, even though I liked it, I probably don't need to watch it again.
SPEAKER_03I like the idea that um because I've always thought this for a while is that if aliens are real, it would destroy religion. But I like that they messed with that, like touched on it enough to where it wouldn't really mess up religion. They're like, no, it it might be okay.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that yeah, that was the other thing that kind of bugged me, is that I feel like there were some things that were brought up, and I can't there was one thing that was brought up, and I was like, oh man, I hope they lean into that more as um I guess it was like the idea of empathy and how we lost how we've lost it as humanity and that type of thing. They had like one conversation about it, and then they never talked about it again. And I'm just like, well, why have that in the movie if you're not going to flip I'm I'm guessing there's a version of the movie where that's probably fleshed out more. Um they're kind of the same with religion. I feel like they could have leaned into the both of those way more, and I don't, you know, outside of outside of her, you know, the main female character or the secondary female character being part of a a nunnery convent for a little while. Um and then having lost her not her faith, right? Because she didn't lose her faith, she still believed in God, but she had lost her value of herself contributing to that good or whatever. Right. Um, which again, she didn't get it at the end. It wasn't like she had some sort of like you know, awakening. She was just there. Also, it kind of bothered me how like the guy at the end became kind of useless, like, because once like Emily Blunt started talking to the alien, like his like towards the end of the movie, like the first two-thirds of the movie was kind of all about him, and then like he kind of disappeared up until the very, very end, and then it became Emily Blunt's movie, which again not a bad thing, but it just kind of seemed like he was like the protagonist, and then all of a sudden he was like not. I feel like the movie could have been structured better to maybe yeah, like he could have he could have yeah, definitely, yeah, he 100% got fanned. That's yeah. Where like he's like you're presenting him as being like an important part of the character, and then all of a sudden, or important character in the narrative, and then all of a sudden you're just like, oh, you're just over here on the side.
SPEAKER_02Like you could have been Coleman Domingo or any of the other, you know. What'd you think, Lou? I liked it. It had its problems.
SPEAKER_01Um my since everybody's bringing up their issues with it, my issue with it was the Colin Firth, was that the actor playing the bad company?
SPEAKER_00The lead the bad company.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, whatever whatever you want to call them.
SPEAKER_00Um the private corporation.
SPEAKER_01The private, yeah, the private government corporation. I didn't like how I didn't like how they kind of just became useless. It's like, we're doing this, we're doing it, and all of a sudden we're like, okay, we're just gonna give up, y'all. Do whatever you want. We're we're dumbasses. Uh let's hit let's play this out. Because they're like, oh, we're gonna try to turn the power off. I'm like, okay, great. The reality is you turn the power back on and they're still going, you kill everybody in that in that facility. Simple as that. You you I don't care if you bomb it, shoot it, or whatever. You make sure this doesn't get out any way necessary, and you kill everybody in the news station. I I don't I don't get it. Were they killers, though? Um I don't know. I I don't remember them killing anybody, actually.
SPEAKER_00So then that's not in their character to kill anybody.
SPEAKER_01Then that's a bad company.
SPEAKER_00But but it was how it was presented, right? That this company has been responsible for keeping these secrets for seven years. Why are they all armed under any under any circumstance, right? So you would assume all armed with automatic weapons. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you don't go into a room with automatic weapon unless you intend on using it, right? Like, or are okay with using it, right?
SPEAKER_01You don't go in there and just tasers, maybe, you know? They have automatic tasers and just shooting taser pellets.
SPEAKER_00Hey, look, don't give Steven Spielberg any ideas because he did take out the guns out of ET for a while. That's true. The there's a version of E.T. with walkie's hockeys. Everybody's threatening each other with Walkie's Hockeys.
SPEAKER_01So, so that was kind of my thing. It was like, it was like, wait a minute. This because you know me, I'm always for the bad guys, and I hate when there's dumb bad guys. And to me, that was dumb. That was that was bad guys doing dumb shit. And it was like, no, no, that's I want I want my bad guys to be um the season finale of mall. I want them to be Vader in the season finale of all. Just go in, mall. Go in, take care of business. That's all there is to it. There is no, there's nothing else. And that's not what happened. So it was like the whole time we're supposed to be thinking that these are the bad guys and you should fear them. And they show up and it was like, oh, whatever. They're just there, we're gonna keep doing our thing, and we're gonna have this broadcast and we're gonna make everything happen. It was like, all right. Now what could have been is that they knew it was futile. Once they gave girl the other little device, uh, and she got that second one after using up the first one, then it could have been like, oh, she's got that and she knows how to use it. We don't have a chance anyway, so we're not gonna bother. They didn't explain that, but if that's what it was, then I'm fine with that. But to me, it just seems like they all just gave up, and I didn't and I didn't get that.
SPEAKER_00Well, even earlier in the movie, when they're when uh when they're in the the abandoned house or the safe house, and there's you know a couple dozen of the bad guys that pull up in the cars, and he like they're in the middle of nowhere, and he comes running up and like falls in the grass and is making all sorts of noise. And again, this is like an entire area that nothing is happening, right? And he is making all the motherfucking noise in the world. He is like the worst uh solid snake ever, you know. No bombs going over there. And then he's out there for a good 15 minutes running around, you know, blowing horns, like just and then he gets in a car, and then finally, and of course the keys in the car. Like exactly. That's how it should have been. And instead, it was like he's in the car, starting the car before one guy goes, Oh, oh no, they he has a car. Like, I'm just like, wait.
SPEAKER_01No, it's more more stupidity, not to mention he he made all that effort at the hotel to take down signs for location and doesn't account for the one on his piece of fucking paper.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01It's like it's like, oh Jesus. So again, there that type of dumb stuff. Like I said, I like the movie. I like the concept, I liked what they were doing with it. Yeah, I even liked the end where they were just uh just the the way the one-word ending, uh, because Americans and humans are just so fucking stupid. Um but yeah, there are definitely some dumb things in that, and that and those were a couple that I that I spot. So then I will now unlike you two though, I will watch it again when it's on streaming, but I'm watching it to see if I missed anything. Uh not because I think oh my god, it's so good I need to watch this. I'm like, wow, I like that. I wonder if I missed anything that would have helped.
SPEAKER_00Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff that they shared earlier.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, anything like that, foreshadowing of any kind.
SPEAKER_02So last night we watched um Fall Guy. And um Which version? The extended version.
SPEAKER_03So little ones watching being herself talking, and then she's like, is this the alien movie you watch where that girl talked weird? I'm like, I've never noticed you noticing actors before. She didn't say anything about
Fall Guy And Begonia Reactions
SPEAKER_03Ken or Project Hail Mary. It was disclosure day.
SPEAKER_01Probably because she's I mean that's something though. That one's fresh.
SPEAKER_00That one's fresh well. But but also like and she has a king. She's uh yeah. But so that's the first time you've seen her kind of connect somebody in two different kind of scenarios, yeah. Type of thing. Nice.
SPEAKER_02Just because she's her. You know. Yes. I can't believe you hadn't seen Fall Guy yet. I've had it. I bought it like Black Friday or some shit years ago. What'd you think of it? I liked it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01It was entertaining. Yeah, yeah. And I liked the cameo at the end to bring in remajor.
SPEAKER_03Yep. And Momoa, which was funny since we had just watched Super Supergirl too. See, she didn't recognize Lobo at the end.
SPEAKER_01You saw Supergirl. Is it as bad as everybody's saying?
SPEAKER_03No.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Did you know that I don't know anybody? Did you get your Supergirls that I that I know that I've seen it of like six people that had one positive thing to say about it and which is it's not a good one?
SPEAKER_03It it it's not Superman good, but it's um it shows that she is different than Superman, right? Like she doesn't have the same moral code, she didn't grow up like Superman. So that's kind of like the driving force
Supergirl Debate And Studio Marketing
SPEAKER_03behind the the movie. And she kills a bunch of pedophiles, so I don't see what the problem is.
SPEAKER_02Let me change that. Politicians maybe Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Look at that, Lou's maturing in front of our eyes.
SPEAKER_01I mean, it's just mostly Democrats, and just go look at Blue Sky or threads, and you can see all the pedos over there.
SPEAKER_03But wait, but how come Grinder crashes every time there's a Republican convention in town?
SPEAKER_01Because they're like gay, not pedos. Grinders, that's different. They're like like Republicans, a lot of the Republican politicians, they will hide that they will suck a dick or take it in the ass, but they're not often going after the kids. The Dems, for whatever reason, like that community, the alphabet community, and all them, they really like fucking with kids.
SPEAKER_03I don't know why, but I'm gonna have to look that up later. How many politicians get arrested for molesting kids? And how many which side of the aisle they're on?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, both. You're gonna you're probably PC, a 50-50 split. But if like, think about it, for all the like for now, for this thing, got two more days and this month is over. Um, for whatever reason, the alphabet community wants to be naked and bouncing around in front of kids and doing talks in front of kids, and uh bro, we're naked bicycles and we're gonna find a park to go to, and it's like, you know, do what you want and all that, but leave the kids out of it. Well, somebody think of the children.
SPEAKER_03Where are these naked people at?
SPEAKER_02Because I want to go to that park. Uh usually Canada. Or Pacific Northwest. D! Kind of Canada.
SPEAKER_01So just as simple as this, Jack. Pick a blue city, a blue run city, and that's right.
SPEAKER_02Weird. I don't know why it is that way, but it is waiting for it, Duke. I was waiting for it.
SPEAKER_01I was like, come on, man. You're holding out on me.
SPEAKER_03Um we watch Begonia too. Did you guys ever see Begonia?
SPEAKER_01Well, I like that one.
SPEAKER_03I've not either fine.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no, no, no. I won't spoil it. I won't spoil it. The only the only thing that I'll say was I found that movie predictable from the trailers. And I was right. Okay.
SPEAKER_00So but I did enjoy that movie. That movie was fun. I'll endeavor to watch it this week and then Oh yeah, I'm curious what you think.
SPEAKER_01That that was that was a good one. That was a good one.
SPEAKER_03What'd you think, Jack? Um, I liked it. It's just like the whole like the the weirdness of it. Like as weird as the trailer is, the movie was just as weird. It wasn't like oh well, you know, we showed all the weird stuff in the trailer. But no, it it was just weird the entire time. And I know you got a little crush on Plemen, so he's really good in it. Oh, and his uh cousin that he's with is is really uh um autistic. Well, is he really? That dude's autistic, so I looked him up. Yeah, no, he's for real autistic.
SPEAKER_01Well, I thought he was just acting.
SPEAKER_02That that's cool if they hired him.
SPEAKER_01I mean you know, I like that.
SPEAKER_03Right. Yeah, no, it's good. I definitely I recommend it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I would I would I would too. I would too. I I it took I wanted to see it in a theater, never got around to it, came on streaming, I still delayed it, and then when I finally saw it, I don't know, a month, two months ago, I was like, I would have been fine watching this in the theater. I enjoyed it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Also, Tuesday is gonna be Supergirl for Us. Did you get your uh Supergirl fleshlight?
SPEAKER_03No, I didn't even see it. I don't know which theater was selling those. Not sure. Me, neither.
SPEAKER_00All I know is every video was people going like, uh what? Right.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that cup was a horrible idea.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's not yeah. That's like worse than the Dune Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I I don't know why they came up with that. But no, are you gonna see Supergirl, you're gonna wait until it comes out on streaming? I'll catch on.
SPEAKER_01Now hold on, I take that back. I take that back. Jack said it was pretty good. If you also say it's pretty good, then I'll go the following Tuesday and I'll watch it then. I mean I mean I'm not giving my full daughters.
SPEAKER_03Lou hates it because of Millie was saying that people have ownership over women's body. She didn't say men, she just said people. So if you inform men from that, that's on you.
SPEAKER_01Partly it's her as an actress, uh, and her no, that's not as an actress, as a person, because like she's the typical, let me go out and run my mouth and fuck up all the marketing and be an unlikable bitch. Now, that's her as a person. The other problem with that is when I watched Superman, I hated Supergirl as a character. Her coming off with the bye bitch or whatever she said when she picked up crypto at the end, I was like, great, a fucking millennial fucking supergirl. So her character, forget the actress. Uh you could you could have hired somebody else. And that character was absolutely unlikable and annoying. I have no interest in watching her for two hours being that way. Granted, she should change for the last 20 minutes.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. She's not that way in the movie. Like a little bit.
SPEAKER_01Like she's still she's gotta start off that way because that's what we're introduced to.
SPEAKER_03Right. A little bit. She's not that annoying, though. She is a drunk on a self-destructive path.
SPEAKER_01Right, for a little bit.
SPEAKER_03Right?
SPEAKER_00Like just saying.
SPEAKER_01Um, so so yeah, there's there's a lot. It's like I didn't watch uh that that still white because of the actress, although everybody said the movie sucked anyway, and the actress wouldn't have mattered, but she didn't help the cause. Um and and it's and same, like, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give them my dollar for that, you know. Same, same thing with with um White Eyes Little Mermaid. Uh uh, it was like can you just go out there, promote your show, and not blame everything on toxic men or white men or men or just it's like Jesus fucking Christ. Like, like this movie is bombing, right? Um, it made like 40 million. Uh and and like I don't know how much worldwide, but but it did not do well. It it it opened up almost half of what Toy Story did on its second weekend. That's how bad this movie is. And part of that is because, again, she's unlikable and runs her mouth. Just shut the hell up, man. I mean, if if if you're the studio, it's like, how do you how do you just allow that? Um again, I'm looking at it from a marketing capitalism side of things as a person, say what the hell you want, right? You go out there, you you back whatever you want to back, no big deal. But when you're when the show's involved and the movies involved and you're marketing the movies, like just toe the line. What the hell? Wait till the movie's out and done with, then go back and talk all your shit, all you want. But Elizabeth Shu, all these women who just like, oh, it's men's fault. You don't like it, don't go watch my movie. Okay, they don't go watch your movie. It's men's fault that this movie didn't do well. It's like you told men not to go watch it. So they listened to you, and now it's their fault. So now that you got this movie that sucks, you've got whatever it is on Rotten Tomatoes, uh, critics and fans, you got whatever it is, it didn't do well, somehow, some way, they're going to blame toxic men. Just just wait, just wait a week. If the if that it's gonna be it's gonna be men's fault, it'll be misogynist's fault, it'll be all it's like, can you just accept that it's a fucking terrible movie? If it is. Again, I don't know that, I haven't seen it. So, but if but if it is bad, and it and a lot of people are saying pointless, there's no point to this movie in the DC universe. Um, if they were trying to introduce her character, they could have done it differently. Although everybody is praising Lobo's uh uh acting or Lobo uh Momoa as Lobo in this. They're like, yeah, he's definitely Lobo and not Aquaman.
SPEAKER_03I actually saw somebody say, I can't see, I still see Aquaman wearing whiteface. I'm like, no. Get the hell out of here. That's not it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no. So again, I I I don't like her. I don't like her character, but I'm not gonna necessarily judge the movie on that. I got one person finally saying it's worth the watch. So if Duke says so later in the week, that hey, yeah, this was actually pretty good. I don't know what the hell people are talking about. They're idiots. I'm like, alright, cool. Then what'll likely happen is that following Tuesday, like the 7th or whatever that Tuesday is, then I'll probably go watch it. Because now it's like, all right, finally. But but I don't know anybody who said it's good. And that that's what's in my head is what's like, uh, that's not a good sign.
SPEAKER_03No, it was funny. It was entertaining. Um I guess it doesn't move the DC universe forward if that's what people are looking for.
SPEAKER_01I would want that because if the idea was they brought James Gunn in to basically be the Marvel Feige, um, and every one of the Marvel movies leading up to Avengers advanced the story to get to the Avengers, and this isn't doing that, I would have questions. You know what I mean? If there's a if there's a spoiler, spoiler, if there's a uh Schwarma at the end that leads into Brainiac, because we know that's the big bad and the Supergirl coming up next year. No swarma at all. Wow. Okay.
SPEAKER_03At all.
SPEAKER_01Um, then okay, fine, and even that little bit helps. But if this is just we're going to turn Supergirl into this person that she is from her fan her her planet going uh cr uh blown up to how she's gonna be better, I don't I didn't need that story. You know what I mean? I need I need the DC universe advance, not necessarily her individual character advance, but you can do both, right? Uh you why not advance her stuff? Get us from where she is or was to where she is while advancing the DC universe. That's what Marvel did. And a lot of people are talking, like thought he was talking about the script was horrible and it was just it was just not good, especially the people who like um The Woman of Tomorrow comic storyline and how they changed the bad guy and to for the worst, and they're they're they're just dogging it. They are absolutely dog in the movie because it was supposed to be taken from that and it really wasn't, and they changed the bad guy, and they're just all types of like uh like don't say it's based off of this and then fuck it all up.
SPEAKER_03I don't know anything about that. I don't read shit on the internet.
SPEAKER_00I will say though, that Marvel doesn't exactly have a stellar track record of good movie villains. They have a couple, they got really lucky with like Loki, but there are also a bunch of them that are completely unmemorable now. One shot, yep. Yeah. So not defending Supergirl because I haven't seen it, but I'm saying I think comic book movies in general have not handled the my I'm gonna say minor villains. Killmonger? Well. Wait, which which movie was your mama in?
SPEAKER_01Exactly. What? I'm just saying it's like button. So I'm not I'm not defending Supergirl based on that. Their villains are basically how they are. Um from Woman of Tomorrow, they did that villain is not how he was. I'm just saying that they're not gonna be asked. They were all basically what you expected from them.
SPEAKER_00But like I said, I mean, besides Thanos and Loki, like none of the other uh villains, especially from the early Marvel movies, were very memorable or stuck around outside of their one little movie, I guess was my point. So And that's something I think we've talked about.
SPEAKER_01Did we have this villain? Did we keep him the way he's supposed to be, or did we not? Marvel kept them, as far as I can remember, for the most part, kept them all the way they're supposed to be. This one, absolutely did not. Again, I've never heard of this guy anyway.
SPEAKER_03His name's like Cream or something. I've never heard of him, so I don't care what the.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like I said, he's based off the Woman Tomorrow uh uh trade or comic, whatever. And he and they changed them completely.
SPEAKER_00Spoiler, Jack. Should have had Jerry Leto for him. He's running for Senate in Texas coming up from the election. Is that shit?
SPEAKER_03One of our um people that were running for some minor office, she has got arrested for robbing a bank.
SPEAKER_00Those campaign contributions just weren't coming in, man. You gotta get them out.
SPEAKER_01Not enough, man. Not enough.
SPEAKER_02Wow, that's some shit. People is dumb as hell.
SPEAKER_03All right, let's see. What else? Do I have anything else on the on the notes? Let's see, let's see.
SPEAKER_01Well, yeah, anything else in the movie world since we're there. I didn't go, I didn't go Tuesday. Uh my week was just moving, packing, and two late meetings. One meeting uh went to 9 30, the other one went to midnight. So yeah. That's that correctly.
SPEAKER_02It was a five, it started at 7, ended at midnight. My pants would have came off by then. I was like, this is my bedtime?
SPEAKER_03I don't wear pants after 10. Yep.
Work Stress And Moving Logistics
SPEAKER_03So you guys can wrap this up or free ballin'.
SPEAKER_01It was in the clubhouse. There was a couch, man. It looked comfy. Oh, oh, it got worse too. So and it the commute is is like 35 miles. Uh 37.2 or something like 35.7. I can't remember what it is. Either way, so the meeting's over. I'm driving back home, I'm on the freeway, and then there's some major accident up front, and everybody has to get off the freeway. That was that happened. Let's see, when did I get off the freeway? About 230, 12.30. About 12.30. No, no, that's not that's not true. It was about it's closer to one. Like 1.05, because I had to swing by the office after the meeting. So about 1.05, everybody has to pull off, so I'm fucking taking surface streaks to get the last you know 20 miles. It was like, oh, you gotta be kidding me. Now, luckily, I didn't have to go into work on time or like that on Friday, so it was chill. But yeah, that was a a day that started at 8.30. Not no, I went in late because at a late meeting. A day that started at 9 30 and ended at work-wise ended at about 12 30. Uh yeah, that was fun.
SPEAKER_02Then you didn't get home until like 2. Whatever. Whatever. It pays the bills.
SPEAKER_01It'll get it'll get better once I when I once I take control and get them straight, but they got you still have two more days for you can make them straight, Lou.
SPEAKER_02That's true.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, 20 uh, yeah, so Tuesday. That's it. No more after Tuesday's it. Wednesday Wednesday? Wednesday, y'all can keep your letters.
SPEAKER_02But yeah.
SPEAKER_01So anyway, I didn't do a Tuesday movie. Duke Duke did disclosure day. Um, anything else, Jack, you had on yours? Streaming at home, watching them besides Fall Guy and uh Boog Bogonia?
SPEAKER_03No, we started watching the Bear. Final season of the Bear. Okay.
SPEAKER_00The Bears.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I only I got tomorrow's secret movie. Obviously, I'll text you guys. Um I guess it'll be about six something your time, six fifteen. When it depends. Half the time they do previews, half the time they don't, so I don't know what's gonna happen. Uh they make us get there on time because we don't know what's gonna happen. But yeah, I'll definitely like like Jack said, everybody think it's young Washington. Um, I will either confirm or not confirm that tomorrow. And then I don't think I'll watch a Tuesday movie on uh looking around. There's not a whole lot left, but I still gotta pack up. Granted, I don't, it's not like, oh, you gotta be out by the 30th. No, I gotta be out by the 31st of July. I got plenty of time. Although, I'm not an idiot. I'm planning to be out before Comic-Con. So when I come back, I don't have to do anything. You know what I mean? Yep. It's just all done. I already have the power scheduled to be shut off the Wednesday of Comic-Con, knowing that I'm leaving Tuesday, so in case there's any last-minute shit on Tuesday. So I got power on Tuesday, and then I'm shutting it off on Wednesday. That way I have motivation to have to be everything, get everything out before I leave uh to Sandy Ring. Going well, actually. There's not I ain't gonna lie. If I really, really wanted to, this could be done in one day. But I'm taking my sweet ass time.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00That's the only way he that's that's the only way you can get rid of the couch is by having the blanket on it.
SPEAKER_01Bruh. You know what? I'm so tempted to keep it and just take it down to the basement, but I was like, I'll just buy a new one. You know, it's this thing. I bought this thing like in see I had the foodon for a while. That would have been 20. So 2015. I bought this couch in 2015. So I have an 11-year-old couch that really needs to go. I'm trying to think, I think the bed, same thing. The bed is just as old. That's that's going. I mean, she's got one at the townhouse already, so I don't not like I need one. But I don't really have much for furniture. You know, I've got the coffee table, probably not keeping it, or I'll take it to the basement. The end tables are going to the bedroom that match this coffee table. Um and then my bookcases. All the Funko's getting boxed up and staying boxed up, but the bookcases will help me organize the shit that I have on eBay, because there's a lot.
SPEAKER_02So that's I started watching Little Brother.
SPEAKER_01What's that?
SPEAKER_00Sorry. Go ahead, finish, Lou.
SPEAKER_01I Oh, I didn't hear what you said.
SPEAKER_00I said I started watching Little Brother.
SPEAKER_01What's that?
SPEAKER_00Which is a movie that has Eric Andre and John Cena. I think it was Netflix, maybe Prime.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just saw preview.
SPEAKER_00Um I fell asleep halfway through, but that's me being sleepy. It's hard for me to stay awake. I'm so the problem is I'm so comfortable in my chair now that it's very hard for me, unless it's something really good, like a TV show or movie that's really good, that's holding my interest, for me to stay awake. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep watching YouTube, and then I'll wake up and I'll be like, it'll be like an hour later, and I'll be like, YouTube will be playing just some random fucking shit, and I go and look at my history, and I was like, That's playing our podcast. What are you? What what algorithm are I on? Because this is some bullshit. Fall asleep till the podcast so we get numbers. There you go. Uh but also, I mean little brothers, but from what I remember, it seems like it's just paint by the numbers, just very like straightforward, you know, mixed family, not mixed family, but like the premise is like John Cena was Eric Andre's big brother in the big brother, little brother program, you know, 20 years ago or whatever. And then there's a reason for him to like come hang out with him when he's like a successful with family and blah blah blah. And I'm sure at the end everybody will be happy and everybody will learn something and da-da-da-da-da. So yeah.
SPEAKER_01I will say when I saw the tr I think I saw the trailer for the first time yesterday, um and then again a few more times today, and watching it was like I I have no interest in this movie. Like, who who is this movie for?
SPEAKER_00John Steven fans. Oh, just real quick, I did see we did see uh disclosure day in 70mm, and uh that was that was pretty cool. I I do enjoy myself a good 70 millimeter movie, especially because we got like some 70 millimeter trailers, like they played all their normal trailers, and then there was like a cut where like things paused for like 10 or 15 seconds, and then you could tell like it changed, like the the color, the the brightness of the screen and stuff like that changed, and then we got a couple, like we got the Odyssey, and I don't remember what the other one was off the top of my head, but we got like two or three trailers that were um obviously not and we and we got like the regal thing like before those, right? So obviously they don't, you know, they were doing it was two different sources, right? So they couldn't fit the the Regal uh roller coaster intro. Yeah, the little roller coaster right before the movie, which is Is what they usually do. So I would suggest if you have an opportunity to go see the movie in 70 millimeter, whatever movie it is, I always say yes, you should do that.
SPEAKER_02So and then also a TV show. I think I talked about it last time.
SPEAKER_00Uh it was uh it's uh Colin Farrell Sugar. I believe it's on.
SPEAKER_02I think that was on my list.
SPEAKER_00Um season two just started.
SPEAKER_01You mentioned it very happy when we did those trailers. I think you mentioned it. Yeah, um whether it was on the list or not, you mentioned it and it seemed like it would be pretty good.
SPEAKER_00It's on your Apple TV queue when you finally sign up for that. Right? When I finally do my free 30 days.
SPEAKER_01I should do that when I'm not working, because I'll have all that time. So give it two weeks and then you'll be. That's probably the time to do it. Nah, bro.
SPEAKER_03His mom's gonna kill him. So I mean he's gonna stay at work because he's scared of his mom. It's not even a money thing anymore.
SPEAKER_01There is something where I I will I will be at this place for at least two years, no matter what happens. I might be the most miserable motherfucker in the world, but I ain't going anywhere. Or, or, or, because you did say this, or if something else is already lined up, if one of those headhunters, if I'm at one of my corporate events um and somebody's like, hey, you like where you're at? We're looking, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, you want to send me an offer letter that I can accept with a signing bonus, we can talk. Until then, my grandmother's gonna have you asked. Can you CC my mom on it too? Thanks.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, can you send can you send a copy of the offer letter to Las Vegas, please?
SPEAKER_01Yep, I need you to I need you to CC this email address.
SPEAKER_00In fact, all negotiations will be handled by this 702 phone number.
SPEAKER_01Oh man. Man, be like, mm-mm. You need to talk to my representative. I I I can't make this decision.
SPEAKER_00My agent. My my people will reach out to your people.
SPEAKER_01Oh, right. Oh man, dog. That ain't no joke. That ain't no joke. Mom, mommy, mom, mom, mom, mom. Mommy. There is zero chance that I'm going anywhere without something lined up. Um but but I I I gotta say, uh we're kind of off topic, but that's us. Uh, I don't I only have four properties, and but three of the four are problem properties, and they came to me because I have the experience to fix them, and I do thrive on that. I will get them fixed. The problem is how much will I care after I get them fixed and they're running smoothly? Then it's like, what I would like, and I haven't brought this up yet because it's way too soon to bring this up, but what I would like is fix the properties, pass them on, give me the next group of problem properties. That's what I would like. But I'll worry about that in a year or two. Um, and then we'll we'll have that. We'll have to I'll have that discussion with like corporate, you know. Especially since it doesn't even have to be here, honestly. Um, I could bounce around. We like I was telling you guys before, we we we've got that uh place that's 10 minutes south of Duke. The other place is by the IKEA in Vegas for the Nevada, Oregon companies. There's also, you know, I think Washington, Idaho, obviously California, because that's where they're based earlier.
SPEAKER_03There's gonna be the wolf from Pulp Fiction.
SPEAKER_01Dude, for real. That's exactly what I would like to do.
SPEAKER_03Go back in there, chill them dudes out, and I'm gonna send the loot directly.
SPEAKER_01Great! I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go to my first board meeting and be like, do you like oak?
SPEAKER_03Are you an oak man? Oak is nice.
SPEAKER_01Don't you just tell me how good my Kool-Aid is. Yeah, that would be some shit. Yeah, honestly, but by that point, I don't know. I would probably more on a corporate level and I would go in to help people to teach them how to do it. Um because I can't, like, if it takes six to eight months to turn a property around, I can't just be, hey, I'm gonna be in Oregon for eight months, you know. That's just and then look, they want to pay for it, because I got rent to pay back here. So if they want to pay for whatever on my living expenses while I'm doing this, okay, that's different.
SPEAKER_03Now you're gonna live with it. You'll be with me. Be with Duke.
SPEAKER_01Well, yeah, but they don't know that. They still gotta give you my style. We're gonna have to eat, we're gonna have to eat nice every night.
SPEAKER_03Lou, what's the most I can charge you for rent?
SPEAKER_00That's how much it costs. $12. I give you $12. $350. $350.
SPEAKER_01Man. We're eating steak and lobster fucking regularly.
SPEAKER_00We do have some good steakhouses out this way, my friend.
SPEAKER_01Talking about.
SPEAKER_00I got you.
SPEAKER_01Anyway, so yeah, so there's that. I don't know how we got in that.
SPEAKER_03Because we're weird. Alright, um, so really the only real plan I had was Duke had his um Kentucky Derby May the Fourth party.
SPEAKER_00Cinco DeMaio party.

But most of these, like the first two-thirds of them are gonna be super easy. You're gonna get the majority of them right. Actually, if you want, we can just go through them. We I'm not gonna skip them. We'll just go through them together, and then when we get to the Jedi Master one, then we can't versions. There's the younglings, which are basic questions, pad ones, next level, Jedi Knights, and Jedi Masters. So we can do the Jedi Masters. There is 72 to 100, so 26, right? 27, 8, 28, 28, 28, 48.

SPEAKER_01I don't know I can't comprehend books.
SPEAKER_00I don't have a metal. Um actually, you know, what we could do is I could do I like I have one of the old school pre-Disney like 1,000 questions about Star Wars books. Like we could pull one of those, I could pull that out at some point. We could we could we could like go non-canon, non-prequel, non-sequel, like just you know.
SPEAKER_01That that'd be interesting, actually. That just open up to a random random questions here and there. That'd be kind of cool.
SPEAKER_00500 questions about Timothy Zahn's trilogy.
SPEAKER_01Oh, good lord. You know what's funny?

When we went to Khan and there was a I I want to say a thrawn book, but there were like three different covers for it. Does that make sense to you from Khan? It was celebration.
SPEAKER_03It was three different colors covers. It was um I think it was just Thrawn. Yeah, because we got the book, we got the audio book.
SPEAKER_01Nope. I have I have I have different hard books. Well, maybe was there a new Thrawn trilogy that came out? Maybe I just bought the trilogy. Oh, okay. I remember what happened. This was Colorado Springs Comic-Con, and uh uh Timothy Zahn was there. And I bought the set because I didn't have it yet, and it was different. Okay, okay. I'm like, how do I have the I had no idea how I had these?

SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. And one of them I think I got mostly at SDCC, and the other one I didn't get, but he had it, him and his wife, his wife is his handler, basically, and they were selling it. So when I went to go get um whatever autograph, I it was some book I got autographed because I didn't I I didn't have the uh the Funko yet to get signed. Um, or I would have, obviously. Um I would have had him probably sign the celebration sticker one and would have had the actor sign either voice actor, or well, at the time there was only a voice actor uh sign the shared exclusive. But I was anyway, I was going through that, and I was like, I don't remember getting these. And I don't think they were con because con always had that digital copy or a pin or something.

SPEAKER_01Well, Anakin, yeah, yeah. No. Right? Darth Vader wasn't raised.
SPEAKER_02Koruson? What?
SPEAKER_01That would be an interesting question, though, to trick people. Because you could argue that Darth when once he switched, he was raised. But whether Coruscant or Mustafar. Mustafar is his home base, but was he raised by Sidious on Taurus?
SPEAKER_00The answer that it gives is Anakin Skywalker and his mother Shmeer from Tatooine.
SPEAKER_01So they didn't ask about Anakin Skywalker.

And also I don't think this is right. Because I thought. So it says Watto, but I thought they were owned by somebody before and then Watto bought them. They were owned by Gardua the Hutt. But Gardula the Hutt. On Tatooine. Yes. I mean, if you want if we're going purely based on movies, the first person that owns them in the movies is right. So we're gonna go Watto?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's fair. But like I said, it depends on how you if there's a if they if they would have if the question was like at Pub Quiz or like who was the the first owner of, then Yeah, the original owner maybe.

Like, especially for being non, like it's not like four star, like it wasn't like a Star Wars party where everybody's going to be us. But I guess that would be that while we were doing the quiz, that uh led me to a question of what do you guys feel like is your strongest when it comes to like Star Wars trivia, where do you think you guys uh what's your strong suit? If we were all going to go do when we're on a cruise a year and a half from now and
Our Star Wars Trivia Strengths

SPEAKER_02I would say character names? I'm pretty good at that. Quotes I'm iffy on. I'm better on quotes than I am on any anything else. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I think I would probably go like behind the scenes stuff. Like great. That's the creative. Well, well, no, it's like when they ask about like what a certain thing was or who directed this or who like that's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01We don't that that that's usually needed, right? We have we we have everything covered. We got Jack with the obscure, me with quotes, and you with behind the scenes. Like, I could give you a few, you know, I could give you Phil Tipp, you know.

SPEAKER_01But it's like, okay, that's cool. I don't know. My memory, shit. Whatever I watched yesterday, that's what I'm good on.
SPEAKER_00So so basically, day before we get on the cruise, Luz just binge in Star Wars.

SPEAKER_02I was only allowed to stream HBO You can on the ship.
SPEAKER_03They do have all the Star Wars movies on the ship. You can just lay in bed and watch them all.
SPEAKER_01Does does Sailie not work like on the boat? A whole different thing. Like we had in Japan.
SPEAKER_00Say Staley's for when you're in different countries. Staley is like is not on the ship because we're not going to have cell service on the ship. Staley is more for if you're outside of your it's to keep you from having roaming charges when you're in a different country.
SPEAKER_01Right,
Cruise Phone Plans And Starlink Talk
SPEAKER_01right. So doesn't that happen on the ship? You you go uh you go port at different countries?
SPEAKER_00Well, this one, I mean, most I think most of the cell companies, like for the one that we're talking about, we're just gonna be in Mexico. And I think for the most part, the and Jack, you can sh you can uh say no or not, but I think in general, most of the cell companies, Canada, the US, and Mexico are all kind of they consider them all kind of the same thing. You generally don't have to get a special plan for being in Mexico. But so but something we'll have to look into when we get closer. But yeah, the Staley basically is like an eSIM that replaces your normal plan.
SPEAKER_01Like you would turn off your normal plan and so But you're saying on a cruise uh you're still on your normal plan when you could you only go to countries that are on your plan.
SPEAKER_03If you want to, if you're in the middle of the ocean, you can uh give your cell phone provider like fifty bucks and we'll give you cellular at sea. That's how you want to get it.
SPEAKER_02Uh no, it's not. It's not. I've looked into all of them. But you're on a forgive me your Starlink account.
SPEAKER_00They actually walk they actually have stuff on the ship to look for that kind of shit now. But they're not. Like they're looking for well, you'll just they'll yeah. Basically, yeah, what'll end up happening is because you're you have a connection and you probably have a you the the um the Starlink's gonna have a hot like a uh Wi-Fi hotspot connected to it. Like they can scan for like networks on the ship that aren't theirs, and they can figure out where you are. Like they because again, they want your money and they're willing to put the FCC violation, they can't do that.
SPEAKER_01That's FCC.
SPEAKER_00There's no FCC on the ocean. Yeah, international motherfuckers. Yeah. There's no laws except for the captain's law. Yeah. Captain Phasma. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03I mean, the line sucked, but you know, we may do. Because we're less than a good thing.
SPEAKER_01It's better than you at least you're guaranteed your stuff, you know what I mean? This is true. You know what? I need to break. I don't have any panels, I don't have anything, I got two hours to kill. Not that it took two hours, but I don't have two hours. I'm gonna go over here and grab.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Anybody had a problem getting the tell stuff in the past?
SPEAKER_03The last few years. If we put effort into it, it's not horrible. But there's not really been anything worth putting effort into.
SPEAKER_01That is true. There hasn't been a, oh my god, let me go straight to their line and try to get in it before but again, there's it's lotto first anyway, right? So there's a lot of times that you have to, okay, open open at three o'clock for everybody. I'm like, I'm not hanging around for that. Now, what towards the end of the day, the non-popular stuff, you can just walk up and buy them.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01So we gotta hope something either they overproduced or not.
SPEAKER_03Of course, now I want Skeletor and the K-pop demon hunter Hot Wheel.
SPEAKER_01So do the K-pop demon. Oh, no joke. So that another reason to try to jump into the raffle for a lot.
SPEAKER_00For as much money as uh Masters Universe didn't make. At least I fucking went and saw the movie, goddammit.
SPEAKER_03So I should get one of the five people that think the movie.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, exactly. Give me my give me my spot in line.
SPEAKER_02Rooftop Cinema Club.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, for me, it's just like you late Monday movie, I have a Thursday meeting. That one should only be an hour, hour and a half.
SPEAKER_03Famous last one.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you're right, right. That's not a big deal. But um then after that, you know, the rest of the week, it it'll be same old, same old boxing, boxing stuff up. And um, I will admit I don't have a whole lot more to box up other than my wall of shelves. Um then then the little stuff like stuff that I need to keep because I'm still using it, maybe like toiletries, kitchen stuff. Um, that'll be towards the end because I'm still cooking dinner for myself and and washing my ass. So thank God. But everything else is basically gone. It's like, alright, I already took it over to the town.
SPEAKER_03So um, my cantina back there. It's going to be a multiverse cantina, right? So I started opening up like a bunch of like vintage figures and stuff that I haven't opened yet. So I got like Chimere and um everything. But I realized I haven't opened Star Wars figures in forever. I'm like, oh, that's kind of fun. But I I brought my um my ghost has lab figures in, so I'm like, hell yeah, I'm gonna have the the rebels crew. And I reach for it and I'm like No. Maybe not. Luckily, I have found a Sabine, uh Zeb, and an Ezra. So I just need to see if I have a Hera somewhere without and then I won't have to touch my my ghost figures.
unknownYeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01I think the last time for me would have been like in 06 with the house in Vegas when I was doing the scenes in the showcase down that I had downstairs. That was the last time I think I opened figures, was just for the uh Emperor arriving scene. I needed a bunch of stormtroopers. So I just kept buying a bunch of stormtroopers so I can open them up for that. But I back then though, it was definitely I only opened if I had two. Um like even to have Vader uh bending down on his knee for the Emperor arriving, that was the big rectangular tall box. Like that came with the planet, whatever that thing was, because it was it was articulated for it.
SPEAKER_00He could bend down the knees and there was like a set of three of them, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was like a indoor and tattooing and yeah.
SPEAKER_01And that was like yeah, that was last time I remember opening a three and three uh three and three quarter figure was doing my scenes. Those are cool. That's probably the only like in storage. If I ever like doubt it all that happened, but if I did, um I'd I'd probably not bother with wallpapering the walls again, but the scenes were cool to have the whether it be the Jabas Palace scene or the Emperor arriving scene.
SPEAKER_02Hoth is probably the only other one that I would consider. There was some cotton in there for the scene. That was this weekend, spring cleaning.
SPEAKER_03The cantina's quote. No, you do um duke what you got.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so look, if you look I can't tell. But um you came with a bunch of stickers and shit, right? So that orange one right there is like Sabine's Lhoenix. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's like uh posters. So I put a Ben Quaterner's poster on there for you, Dean.
unknownThank you.
SPEAKER_02I'm all right. Is that where it's gonna be? Is that where you're gonna have it? Yeah. It's in the corner there.
SPEAKER_00Uh they don't do the holes in the feet anymore, do they? They do. Yeah, yeah. Is there a peg? Or is there a peg in the cantina for it? No, that did not come with a floor. Oh, okay. So you're gonna have to do it.
SPEAKER_03I ordered some from from uh Amazon. But you can see my cantina dudes on the bed there. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Are you gonna have it at an angle or are you gonna just have it flat?
SPEAKER_00That's the primer, bro. Yeah. Earlier you sent the picture, it looked like it was on an angle. Was it not? Was it just the angle of the camera? Let me see. Let me go back. Let's go back to the tape. It looked to me like it was at an angle, but that could also have been just you, the angle of the the picture.
SPEAKER_03No, it's angled itself. So it's okay. If you look at the picture, those are flat up against the wall on the side. And just like the entrance is angled. It comes in and y'all can't see this, but that's okay.
SPEAKER_01There you go. Now you can see this for those watching on YouTube.
SPEAKER_02But it's cool because each of the um the booths has like a little roof you can put on it too. So that was kind of cool.
SPEAKER_00Did you think about maybe making a floor and then putting it at an angle so people can see it from no fuck them? Fuck them, fuck them. Fuck them kids.
SPEAKER_01Fuck them kids. As long as he sees it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I know what's in there and that's all that matters. People like I got this tattoo. It's upside down. Not to me. It's not that's tattoo is for me, not for you.
SPEAKER_02Just like my cell phone. My cell phone's for my convenience, not yours.
SPEAKER_00Uh I have my Tuesday movie. I guess I were probably gonna go see Supergirl, and then I can give my feedback to Lou. And that's kind of it for this week. Like it's a pretty quiet week uh leading up to 4th of July. My friends will have their boat out. I'll probably head over to the Blues Fest on Friday and Saturday, because Friday we'll have that day off for Observed. Observed. Uh so every year, I think we've talked about this before, but um a bunch of people that I know that own. So one of the big things that happens over Fourth of July weekend is Portland has like a giant blues fest that happens on the waterfront. And so you can either buy tickets or you can float your boat up to like the basically I like to float my boat. Um you can you can anchor like right in the river, like off to the side, because there's like a little like a little bay area. Uh, and you can anchor your boat right outside of where the blues fest is at, so you can go and sit and just listen to the music without having to pay for them the uh pay for a ticket. So I have friends who have a boat, they'll anchor on Monday or Tuesday to get out there and get a good spot. And then they have like a grill and everything on you know, giant giant uh ice chest, that type of thing. And so uh and a dinghy, so they'll come and pick up pick you up from the dock, and then so I'll go out there on Friday and Saturday and have dinner, just hang out with them and listen to the music. So and then Saturday night, they bring a giant barge out to the middle of the river, which is a couple hundred feet from where we are, and they'll have a giant fireworks display on the 4th of July.
SPEAKER_02So it's pretty cool. So be on that. Nobody's nobody's on the water, you're just all anchored or whatever.
SPEAKER_00Nope, we're on the water. Oh shit! Feet learning shit. Oh damn, oh damn, but he's giving away free uh free feet picks. Yeah, yeah. He's also doing advertising for his hobbits. He's doing his advertising for his OnlyFans. Yeah. Oh man, that's cool as hell. This guy.
SPEAKER_01He impressed me.
SPEAKER_03But now I'm gonna have to like plan shit and be like, oh, let me uh get all this stuff ready and upload it.
SPEAKER_01Let me get this ready so I can pop it up when we talk about it. Which is why you do your little shit outline.
SPEAKER_02I am down there. Yeah, so you have this stuff queued up.
SPEAKER_00Um, we're in the wash. Like we're we're not on a dock or anything. Like, we're just anchored.
SPEAKER_01I'm just trying to figure out if you go there to anchor early, how do you get to the boat? He said they have a dinghy.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they have a little we have they have a little boat that goes so there's a dock that's that's downriver a little bit, and they'll take the dinghy, so there's parking around the dock. Like you can go and park. There's a little downtown area, so there's a couple of that big where it has a dinghy?
SPEAKER_01Dang. Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00Well, they have the dinghy specifically for 4th of July, so they can ferry people on and off the boat.
SPEAKER_01Oh, oh, it's not the dinghy that belongs to the boat.
SPEAKER_00It's just like it is like the people own the boat and the dinghy, but they they got the dinghy for the 4th of July. Like they don't otherwise they're docked up river uh throughout the rest of the year.
SPEAKER_01So the dinghy's not always with them.
SPEAKER_00Correct.
SPEAKER_01Okay. See, I'm thinking of like a cruise ship where all those little boats are hanging off the side.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_01Same thing.
SPEAKER_00This is some this is something that they that they have, they purchase separately for the 4th of July. So Okay. I mean they can use it in other places, but it's primary primarily used at the Fourth of July.
SPEAKER_02So I think I follow it. Yeah. So that should be fun. I'll send you guys some pictures. Or we'll have pictures next Sunday.
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_02And then I'll upload them and everybody can see them.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, besides that, I mean, again, it'll be here before you know it. But looking forward to another three-day weekend. I'm a big fan of I feel like they need to break the holidays up and give us at least one three-day weekend every month. Because it seems like we get them in these clusters where there's like you're you have like four-day work weeks like two or three times within like five weeks, and then you get nothing for like two months.
SPEAKER_01And it's just like just if you're lucky enough to even get the holidays, uh, old girl doesn't even get fourth July.
SPEAKER_02Oh, they even observed?
SPEAKER_01Like that Friday off? No.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Wow. I'm all like, you need to find a different job. I found a new job. What's the problem with you getting a new job? I have a three-day weekend every week. As soon as I get done with my training. Jack works four teams. Three-day weekend every weekend. Hell yeah. And I have a two and a half day weekend. I get done at noon, so on Friday, so bitch has to work in the middle of the day.
SPEAKER_01Shit, I ain't doing nothing before July, so we'll have I'll have my fingers. I ain't worried about that. I'll be moving stuff, is what I'll be doing.
SPEAKER_00You can lose a finger doing that. Yeah, you can lose a finger doing that. That's true, I could. Get a cot between a box and the wall.
SPEAKER_01Like I'm looking around. These Funkos ain't been touched in like, I don't know, eight years. I ain't even sorry collected Funkos till 2021. But they ain't been moved since like 2022, so I might lose a finger for whatever critters hiding behind these things.
SPEAKER_00I was gonna ask you guys about I watched uh there's a video uh shows up in my pops up in my uh YouTube feed every once in a while of a guy who just goes out in his area and kind of looks and sees what collectibles and stuff, and it looks like Target and Walmart are like blowing out tons of fun codes because they had you know their collectibles section. Like a ton of them were like three bucks, three fifty. Um you know, not all of them, but a large percent. Like if you looked at the wall,
Funko Pop Discounts And Collecting Math
SPEAKER_00like you know, you have the the Target, the yellow stickers, right? Like at least three-quarters of them had a yellow sticker on it. But he's been going around going, these are the same, this is the same shit that's been here for you know six months or a year or going on longer than a year, you know. But that goes back to what we're died, son.
SPEAKER_01Other than other than the exclusives here and there, uh the commons, nobody buys commons anymore, really. Nobody's paying $15 for a for a Funko pop that used to be $7. So it's like people like me, if it's an exclusive, whatever, like there's some, I don't know what came out recently, and my first thought was I'll wait till Funko has a sell for these commons and I'll get it then because I'm not paying full price for a Funko. And even the exclusives are they jacked the price from $15 to $25 now. But again, they're limited to like a thousand, three thousand, whatever. That's fine. I'll I'll handle that. But and they're trying to be better about that. Oh, this is limited to 9,500 pieces. Like 9,500 is still a lot. You don't only you guys don't sell out of 9,500 pieces. So I have no interest. Unless the shit's gonna sell out, don't care.
SPEAKER_00I'll wait and get it from Funko Hollywood at the end of the year.
SPEAKER_01Honestly, yeah, even then. Even then, no, it's not.
SPEAKER_00I meant for the exclusives, right? Because the exclusives you're generally, yeah.
SPEAKER_01But you can still, I guess.
SPEAKER_03That just came up, the Jurassic Park one.
SPEAKER_02What? He was holding on to your butts. Yeah. Oh, Jurassic Park. Mr. Arnold. He was limited, he sold out. I don't remember what he was limited to, though.
SPEAKER_01But you usually get an idea, like the popular ones, they're going to sell out, and you kind of get an idea of which ones are. It's like, okay, fine. But in general, though, there's like, yeah, no, that can sit there. When I do an order because I'm picking up uh example, uh San Diego, and we're up at six in the morning and it's gonna drop at seven or whatever, and we're in line waiting for the shared exclusives to drop, and some of it's on Funko site, I'll have stuff in my queue already waiting because they're on sale, if they have anything at all. Um that way I can save my ship and get everything done at once.
SPEAKER_02But overall though, yeah, I'm sorry. Anyway, so for the third time Yeah. I am not a crook. Farewell.
