One and action. Oh, that reminds me Scissoring.
Speaker 2:Scissoring reminds you of something. Oh, this one.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:This one, it's a joke.
Speaker 3:After all this time, you finally got what the joke was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And because I saw a red one today. So why is Dwayne Johnson the only man that can change a lesbian, change into a lesbian?
Speaker 3:No, change a lesbian, change a lesbian, okay. No, change a lesbian, change a lesbian, okay. Is this facetious or is there an actual answer to this?
Speaker 1:Because rock beats scissors.
Speaker 2:Oh, there's also a DV joke in there too, for lesbians If rock beats scissors, oh man, I've been a lesbian for a long time. Just saying Thought. I'd share that with you guys.
Speaker 3:Glad you're finally coming out after all this time, Lou.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know I figured what the hell. Just because I was anti-Harris Walsh doesn't mean I can't support some left policies, Come on.
Speaker 1:Lesbians all the way.
Speaker 2:Triplet lesbians. What?
Speaker 1:I think Trump likes lesbians too.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, okay I was like I heard triplet lesbians. I was like, whoa, this could be a great I mean you imagine how much work that would be? I mean, if they weren't sisters or they're from alabama, then fine, I can get back and watch most of it. But damn, that's a lot of effort. I ain't got that. I ain't 25 anymore.
Speaker 3:And now we have the title for this episode of the podcast. It'll be Lou. What would you do if you won a million dollars? Three lesbians. Sisters, three sisters at the same time, and then the picture will be Lou with a mullet in Alabama.
Speaker 2:Can we do it in Alabama with midgets? Can we find three lesbian midget sisters? I won't even know it. I won't even be green. We don't have to be triplets, thank you.
Speaker 3:Just from the same town.
Speaker 2:That's fine. You know we can have a half sister, a cousin. You know we'll Patty Duke, that shit is fine.
Speaker 3:I don't care what your last name is tonight.
Speaker 2:It's right, tonight is Hatfield, oh my God, that would be so funny. There's a movie there somewhere. I know there is. We're going to have to watch. Yeah, chat GPT, I need you to make this movie?
Speaker 3:No, I bet you could probably go on. Pornhub right now and find it.
Speaker 2:No, you know what I don't? I don't really got to bet against you on that one, oh so so let's get the easy Sunday stuff out of the way quick. How'd you guys do in fantasy? I kind of paid attention. I might win. I know Duke might win too.
Speaker 3:I mean, I'll be honest, I've kind of given up on all my fantasy teams as far as Are they all struggling? Yeah, all of them, I mean. I can't tell you how many guys I've had. My IR has basically been full the entire season with one person or another. I hear you.
Speaker 2:Between Isaiah Pacheco and TJ Hawk early on Christian early on there were so many top dudes that were up. Mike Evans Godwin's gone for the season.
Speaker 1:If Houston does well, they're playing the Cowboys tomorrow D, so you could still win. All three of your dudes are on the Cowboys. You have Stroud, dell and Fairbairn.
Speaker 3:I hope those guys weren't trotted to the Cowboys.
Speaker 2:I mean the Cowboys are bad. So if Dell with Nico Collins back, if he'll get double teamed, I could open up some Stroud to Dell plays. And obviously Fairbairn has been a beast all year.
Speaker 1:Then as long as Nico Collins doesn't do well playing tomorrow, I will win Mine.
Speaker 2:How much are you up by right now 16. Does she only have Nico left?
Speaker 1:Yep, he's only projected for 13.91. No, I got nobody.
Speaker 2:Oh no, y'all are going to be. That's going to be a good one tomorrow, but luckily she played Dak and he was out, so yeah, I didn't understand that. Yeah, because didn't she have Stafford 28-point Stafford on the bench?
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:And why did old girl didn't even start, like two players.
Speaker 1:Oh, so what happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah, your girl.
Speaker 1:So what happened was I didn't get to hers until after the Washington game, I think. Oh, so that's why she had an empty spot there.
Speaker 2:Okay, because I was doing it at dinner last night I was like oops.
Speaker 3:You need to make yourself a reminder for Wednesday night when you get home from work, just jump on and do five minutes of making sure, at least you have.
Speaker 1:She's still projected to beat the bot, though, so yeah, the bot didn't 50 points.
Speaker 3:The bot's 9-0 right now, right, or 10-0? 10-0.
Speaker 2:Here's the thing I don't understand the bot, the way the bot makes moves, because the bot started nobody in one or two spots also.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, there's still 10-0. That's true, Because they started Kincaid on Buffalo and he didn't play at all.
Speaker 2:Right, and imagine if he started Harrison's out because of the bye week, but the bot had Taysom Hill too. So if the bot put in Taysom Hill for Kincaid, dude, that's a blowout win right there. Yep, 38 points, whatever, whatever, take the win right. Take the win, dude. I was sweating out this last game, this Sunday Night Football game. I was up by I want to say 30 or 40. 40 something. I was at 40 something. Except he had Chase and Burrow and a couple of touchdowns and came down to the last two minutes of the game. Burrow's I mean, I was up by like five. I was like man, just don't throw it to Chase when you're going down for this game.
Speaker 2:So the last two minutes they get the ball three times in the last two minutes and I'm stressing this shit out and finally, when that last ball hit the ground, it was like ugh, I ended up winning by three man. Then tomorrow I've got some other ones. I've got to sweat out Stroud in one league and that's basically about it. I blew out my opponents in two of them, but I have to sweat out Stroud tomorrow.
Speaker 2:I need him to do like 15 points and that's it. It's going to be a tight one, but some some okay games. I honestly the steelers game. Obviously it was all about that one in the ravens. The closed game was a good game. Uh, some bad football in the red zone from the steelers, but they won, so I'll take it. But overall, I gotta admit I didn't really watch a lot today. I mean, I was on, I just wasn't really paying attention same because we were out for most of the day.
Speaker 3:Jacksonville had their Super Bowl last week against the Vikings, because they didn't even show up today. Oh for real though. That was like a college football game right there, where it's like Liberty versus Ohio State or some shit.
Speaker 2:It's just like what Ohio State versus Directional? Michigan?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, miami of Ohio. Uh-huh, it's Ohio State versus Directional Michigan. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Miami of Ohio. Hey, they're not that bad this year, and that's where Ben Roethlisberger came from.
Speaker 3:So come on now. What else did we have?
Speaker 2:We had Green Bay squeaking it out against Chicago, green Bay getting lucky against Chicago.
Speaker 3:Chicago is the worst.
Speaker 2:Because they can't freaking manage a field goal on top of that Miami won, but we're not going to talk about that.
Speaker 3:No at all.
Speaker 1:Embarrassing.
Speaker 2:No, I don't know if I'd call it embarrassing Miami. When they're healthy, they're a good team. Their defense needs some work, but they're a good team. They're going to be able to keep up with some people Everybody knows the.
Speaker 3:Raiders are fighting the Giants for the number one overall draft pick.
Speaker 2:Who's going to get Jadur Sanders from CU in Colorado?
Speaker 3:I saw something on the Athletic today talking about how there's been rumblings of them just sitting Danny Dimes for the rest of the season because if he gets hurt they'll owe him his 2025 salary.
Speaker 1:So they were like we're 2-8.
Speaker 3:We're going to let him go in the offseason. No must-go fuss.
Speaker 2:They did that out here with Russell Wilson last year the last two games of the season for the same reason, even though they let him go anyway. I'm okay with that strategy, but I'm only okay with it once. You're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. If you still have a chance, they should play them. And then the last four, three weeks because they should be eliminated fairly soon. Here they only have two wins, so at two and eight let's say they lose the next two. Then they're either mathematically eliminated or statistically eliminated.
Speaker 2:If you've got a less than 1% chance, you're not making the playoffs. Let's be real. If that happens, then I would put in Drew Locke and see what he has to show. That way you know what you have if anything. Because if Drew Locke comes out and balls the last few, then you don't have to use your number one pick on the quarterback. You can trade it and get more capital to build your team. But if he isn't, it turns out he's not good because obviously he didn't start in Denver, he didn't start in Seattle. But you never know. Geno Smith didn't take off until his third or fourth team and now Geno Smith is doing well for himself.
Speaker 3:Do you think the problem is Daniel Jones, though?
Speaker 2:No, it's the offensive line. The problem with that, though, is, if that's the case, if your offensive line is the problem, you need to throw shorter, then throw it shorter. But I don't know if that means that the coach is the problem for not doing max protect, but it reminds me of Caleb actually Caleb Williams in Chicago. As soon as they snap the ball, five guys are in his face because they can't stop the offensive line. So it always comes down to that. If the offensive line is solid, your team will be solid.
Speaker 2:It's just how it works, and, for whatever reason, coaches don't want to play that game. They're like, oh, let's get all these fantastic receivers and tight ends and running backs. And it's like, yeah, but who's blocking for these people? And they always forget that part. So I think Daniel Jones is okay. Let me be the first to say, as I'm wearing my Giants shirt, knowing they couldn't lose today Bye week. So every time, like the last couple years, it's like damn, this offensive line is horrible. It's why I wasn't too sad when they let Saquon go to Philly. It's like, well, he's being wasted in New York because they don't have a line to let him run. So you know, I'm fine. I'm fine if Drew Locke doesn't work out. Get the number one pick. Go get whomever and then start over.
Speaker 1:I'm fine with the rebuild, but I think we're all Bills fans today.
Speaker 2:You guys are. I don't mind the Chiefs, everybody's like Chiefs. Get the refs help, not today. Bills got the help. Chiefs got screwed today by the refs, but nobody's going to talk about that right.
Speaker 1:Nobody's going to talk about. Oh hey, they have to lose one game.
Speaker 2:Otherwise the fix is in. They're going to lose a couple more. Granted, they're getting Pacheco back and they just got Juju back his first game back. It's still going to be between them and Buffalo. Buffalo now holds a tiebreaker over them, so that's a big deal. Buffalo only with two losses, so that's going to be interesting. And Pittsburgh only two losses. Pittsburgh, I think, plays Kansas City later in the year. So if Pittsburgh can win out granted, I don't think that's going to happen, but if Pittsburgh wins out, they're the number one seed. So that's some interesting shit. I did not see that coming this year.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it looks like they squeaked one out against the Ravens today.
Speaker 2:Yeah, six field goals. That's what I was saying. They need to work on their red zone freaking offense.
Speaker 3:Lou isn't going to be listening to any sports radio this week. He is not Denver blew out. Glad Aaron Rodgers got shit on again.
Speaker 2:Yep, they're done for. He just needs to retire right now.
Speaker 3:Middle of the season. Well, no, he's going to come back next season. He already said I want to keep playing I'm like are you?
Speaker 3:well, he could but not for the jets. Well, and that was I. I read something, yeah, I read something today saying like, okay, so you have a new head coach, that you're going to be finding a new head coach. Your general manager is gone and the owner is going to be out of action as well, because they were saying the owner was going to become part of, uh, the new president's cabinet, so he won't be the owner of the jets that his son, I think, will take over, like he did in 2017. It'll be interesting to see when they change all of that. Like you know, I mean, I guess it depends on your view of the draft as far as what quarterbacks are available, cause the it's not like the jets have anybody behind Rogers that can step up and play. No, not at all.
Speaker 2:I mean the only the two that stand out now versus the end of the season in college would be Shador Sanders and Colorado cam ward in Miami, and then Carson Beck in Georgia and Becca's falling off a little bit, but the Jets we'll do it again. There's obviously there's always trading too. You can always move up to get somebody, yeah, but the giants are likely on the clock to take a Shador Sanders at this point. So I don't know, it's going to be interesting, but I'm not sad that the jets are taking it up the ass. So, yeah, exactly, I mean, I mean, I never mind. I never minded Rogers for a while. I always hated the Packers because they beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl in 2011. So I'm not a Packers fan, luckily.
Speaker 2:I don't hold grudges so it's only been 13 years, so yeah, so I still don't root for the Packers, but I was never really anti-Rodgers until, like the last year. This last year he's just tool mode to maximum His setting's at 11. It's like dude, although the last couple weeks he did shut the hell up. It hasn't talked that much, so that's good.
Speaker 3:Well, and now it's also like Packers East right.
Speaker 2:Like half of their offense are former Packers. Yeah, lazard, rick Adams and him.
Speaker 3:Good Lord, I think one of their tight ends is from there as well.
Speaker 2:Conklin. Was Conklin used to be over there? I don't think.
Speaker 3:He was a Viking right, but he was on the Jets before Rodgers showed up. Oh, okay, all right.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So it's one of those things where it's like, man, yay, I don't know if there's too many people other than Jets fans who were sad about the Jets and Rodgers looking like that. It's like, hey, we'll take it.
Speaker 3:One of us team in the AFC you have to worry about right.
Speaker 2:Yep, poor Adams, all that to go to that team to be just as bad as the Raiders. It's one of these things where, if he would have stayed, the Raiders might actually have a better record than the Jets right now.
Speaker 1:If you're going to lose you might as well lose with your buddy.
Speaker 2:I guess there's that. I guess there's that. Alright, what are we? 20 minutes into football, 15 minutes into football, with the clock ticking, let's jump right into this weekend's events, y'all, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3:Do you guys watch them?
Speaker 1:all.
Speaker 3:Yes, I hope so. If he sends them, I hope he watches them Right exactly.
Speaker 1:He's like you guys. Watch these, let me know what you think. He's like you watch them.
Speaker 3:I have not watched any of these yet, so you're going to have to let me know how they are.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying. Here these are the ones that I thought of.
Speaker 3:Now you watch them and tell me if they're good, then I'll watch them. If they are, All I did was type in to YouTube new movie trailers and whatever popped up.
Speaker 3:I just dropped in there, man, all right All right, here we go, number one so number one on the top of the list and some of these I think Jack had mentioned, but I think we had talked about it a couple weeks ago and, lou, you haven't seen some of these, the big trailers even so. Uh, the first two that I listed were thunderbolts, asterix and captain america, brave new world. So these are the newest ones. Thunderbolts, we're getting thunderbolts in may and we're getting captain america in february, right, I think, if I remember, yeah, february, february 14th, that's Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3:What did you guys think of the new trailers? We've already had a few versions of these trailers. Do you feel like, as we get closer, I have an opinion on this, but I want to get your guys' opinion as well. How many trailers does a movie need in order to not just be giving the movie away? You know like we've been seeing thunderbolts trailers for almost a year now, right, and they've had four or five different versions of them, and each one seems to show more and more of what is happening. Like. If you're not hyped for this movie, then I like showing me the whole story, and I'm not saying either of these do, but I don't need to see the Red Hulk until I'm sitting in the theater.
Speaker 1:That could have done with a teaser on him, like the first trailer, where it was just his hand punched down at the ground. Done, no, he threw the shield.
Speaker 2:He caught it and then he threw it into the ground. I'm fine with he threw the shield.
Speaker 3:Threw the shield down Because he caught it, and then he threw it into the ground.
Speaker 2:I'm fine with it. I'm fine with it Because it was already spoiled, because we already knew, because of the McDonald's Happy Meal toys, because of all these things. So, because of all that, there's nothing you're hiding, so it's like alright, just put it in there.
Speaker 1:But they also gotta give it to the casual. But I do not like Thor, but don't no.
Speaker 3:We're dialed in on all this stuff that we know. I bet I could ask Jack right now how many Ghostbusters Ecto-1s have been sold on HasLab and he would be able to give me an exact number, like that's a single digit percentage of people in the world that would be able to give me that world that would be able to give me that you know. So I think how we're dialed in, like the mcdonald's toys, I think is a very like it's news to us, but I don't think most people either would care about it or know about it. So I don't know. I just think it's interesting when you get into like the fourth or fifth version of the trailer.
Speaker 2:Like how many times I was gonna say I, I think I think you're right on that side, but the people that we're talking about, who are gonna care about the trailer, are the ones who are gonna know. They're gonna ones who's like, oh, we've already, we already know what's out the casual person. They're not, they're not giving a shit about. Uh, you know, fourth, fifth, whatever trailer is given away, they're half assed watching the trailer when it comes on anyway. Then there's us and those like us times who what? Yeah, who who doing all that?
Speaker 3:watch videos breaking it down and, yeah, all the easter eggs and and we're, you know, shout out, screen crush and, uh, new rock stars.
Speaker 2:You know we're doing all that shit, so it's for us. If we're talking about our audience, it's like okay, we didn't lose anything for them showing all this stuff now. Now, that means I don't mind the spoilers of the characters somewhat. I still want a few surprises here and there. However, I'm with you on do not give the damn story away. Like you, you put enough trailers together and it's like oh well, that's the first act, that's the second act, that's together. And it's like, oh well, that's the first act, that's the second act, that's the third. It's like come on, guys, I do hate that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was trying to remember the last movie, that trailer that came out that basically walked you through the story. Then you went into the theater and you were like, oh, the trailer just basically told you everything that was going to happen.
Speaker 1:The one that made me mad was Terminator Dark Fate. It was Khaleesi, yeah, it was straight up in the trailer. It was like oh, john Connor's the Terminator, what?
Speaker 2:the fuck. Yeah, yeah, they gave that one away Save that for the movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, those type of things, 100% agree. But I guess the opinion of the movies and all that and what's coming up. Looking for thunderbolts and captain america, I'm looking forward to both. Captain america more so than thunderbolts. I would say, uh, but, but it's not like it's a huge athlete. Uh, thunderbolts looks like it's going to be a fun. You know, suicide squad type of movie. Uh, captain america, just like it's going to be a fun. You know Suicide Squad type of movie. Captain America, just like it's going to be a good story. I mean, if they keep the drama the way this last trailer made it, look, I'm like all right, that seems pretty solid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if it goes more Winter Soldier, Spy kind of stuff, yes, it will be a better movie. So I think Winter Soldier is going to be a better movie, but I'm looking more forward to Thunderbolts. But also I'm in love with Yelena.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, that's just fair. I mean, makes me want to go watch frickin' Oppenheimer again.
Speaker 3:Well, at least five minutes of it.
Speaker 2:Let me just fast forward. I gotta catch it at the 14-minute mark and the 27-minute mark.
Speaker 3:What does Mr Skin say Exactly? Let me go it at the 14 minute mark and the 27 minute. What is? What is mr? What is mr skin say? Uh, exactly, let me go 114, 27.
Speaker 2:I don't know I'm making that shit up, but whatever it is, that's what I want to see. Uh, all right, cool, yeah, I guess we're all about duke duke you on board for those two yeah, 100.
Speaker 3:So I mean I'm looking forward to them, for different reasons again, I like jack. Like jack said, I think thunderbolts will be a funner movie, but hopefully the stuff that we've heard about Captain America being kind of like Manchurian candidate, all the president's men like kind of way more, kind of going back to Winter Soldier and that kind of era of things, yeah, I think that'll be a movie that you'll be able to re-watch more, if that makes sense yeah like thunderbolts will be one that if it's on tv when you're cleaning the house, like it'll be like cool, like you'll be like oh yeah, I remember that that was fun, you know, whatever, yeah then, uh, winter soldier will be one that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Have we? Have we seen any um footage of?
Speaker 1:Bucky in Captain America.
Speaker 2:No, I didn't think so. I'm obviously he's in Thunderbolts, but I was like it's possible.
Speaker 1:They're concurrent movies, though, too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they're happening around the same time, that's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 2:I mean, I know they're three months apart, but yeah, know they're three months apart, but yeah, the timing could be such that, or since Captain America comes out first, they explain him going off doing his own thing. The end credits scene will be him joining Thunderbolts or whatever, but I'd like to imagine, because of the Falcon and Winter Soldier TV show, that they're going to have to have some kind of explanation. Yeah right, We'll see they don't have to, but it'd be nice if they did. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 3:Next up we have Wolverines Werewolves Sorry, werewolves.
Speaker 1:I was like hold on, wait, I didn't see this trailer, I got the list in front of me, I'm like no, it's not.
Speaker 3:So this seems to be some. It's a mix of like a horror slash action movie. Flash has crossbones from the MCU. Frank Grillo is the main character. I don't have high. I've watched a bunch of his movies and they're never like. Frank Grillo is never going to make a movie that's going to hurt my brain Right, like where you're going to go. Wait, I need to figure. But his movies are fun, like.
Speaker 2:I think Groundhog Day movie was fantastic.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think so. I am looking forward to this and that's why I sent this out. So what did you guys think? So the idea is that the world has there is a supermoon that triggered almost kind of like a zombie type thing in a ton of the population, and now everybody's in, uh, you know, isolated cities and that type of thing, and the world has changed.
Speaker 3:And now the next super moon is coming a year later and things get even more out of control. So Frank Grillo is here to save us all, so thank God.
Speaker 2:Well, wait, just before we, before we get into this, what was the other werewolf movie that's coming out Like the Wolfman Wolfman?
Speaker 1:yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, there is the Wolfman, the classic launching, yeah because that one I don't know if you guys saw that trailer, but that one was going to be a slow burn for that one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, for sure that one is like actually Universal Monsters.
Speaker 2:Oh, that one is um, that one's like actually universal monsters. Oh, it's part of that line. Okay, yeah, this one. I, I thought it. I, you're right, if grillo is gonna do what grillo is gonna do, I thought the concept for a werewolf movie is, for that is pretty cool. I'm like that's different. I'm about that. That seemed pretty cool yeah, yeah yeah, I thought so too.
Speaker 1:I've always liked werewolves. They've always been my favorite monsters. So I'm down, yeah me too, ever since america.
Speaker 2:No well, between american werewolf london and michael jackson's thriller that john landis produced and had the graphics uh team as well.
Speaker 3:You know.
Speaker 2:For me, the first one I saw was was the thriller video and the behind the scenes of them making it and to see the way that transformation was done, because again, it was the same people that did american wolf london and then jumping the team wolf, it was just. I was always fascinated because I got to see how the sausage was made and it was badass. So to see the the pumps like in the hands were trying to bubble out and they had the pumps in there and it was just. If you guys ever get a chance behind the whatever making a thriller video with Michael Jackson, it was pretty badass.
Speaker 3:Behind the music.
Speaker 2:For a pop-up video Pop-up video. I miss pop-up video man. But yeah, no, no, no Werewolves, this is one that I had not seen before and I was like yeah, I'm on board. As soon as I saw I was like this looks like a pretty bad ass concept.
Speaker 3:Yeah, uh, not sure when that one comes out. I should have written that down. Um, next will be a dear Santa.
Speaker 2:Uh Jack black.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that one, uh, that one, the kid accidentally writes to Satan instead of Santa, puts his thing in the mail and then it goes to Satan, who happens to be Jack Black in this movie Not sure when it was made, as far as his timeline goes, but it looks like it's kind of a take on Little Bad Santa, just kind of doing a little bit of a spin on it, where at the end of the movie, of course, satan's going to, I'm sure, have a change of heart.
Speaker 1:Become better than he was at the beginning of the movie.
Speaker 3:But in my opinion, any movie that has a representation of Satan, that doesn't have Saddam Hussein going, hey Satan, I don't know, just to me, you can't, it just is ruined, I just that doesn't have Saddam Hussein going, hey Satan, I don't know, just to me. Like you can't, it just is ruined. Like I just can't, I can't buy it. I'll watch it.
Speaker 1:What did you guys think On?
Speaker 3:Paramount or something right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's kind of on Paramount+ I would have gone to see it on the theater, but I will watch it on Paramount. It looks funny enough yeah.
Speaker 2:I thought it was okay. I mean, I looked at it. I was like I have no idea what this one is. So I saw it and it was like, oh, that looks silly enough. Fun, looks predictable, but I'd still be entertained by it, yeah.
Speaker 3:Next, the short round starring in Love Hurts. The next the short round starring in Love Hurts. The trailer seems to give the impression that he's a realtor that is very, very good at his job, but his history catches back up with him and his brother turns out to be some sort of big warlord and gets his brother back into the realm speaking of trailers telling the story, this is one where the trailer was like oh okay, so we know how this is going to play out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but we don't know why he betrayed his brother.
Speaker 2:No, we don't know that. We know how it's going to play out. We don't have. You're going for the ass-kicking.
Speaker 1:It's just like watching a John Wick trailer. Nobody knows the story of John Wick. He did it because he killed his dog. You're going to watch him kill people.
Speaker 2:I think part of my issue with this one is I don't see him as Jet Li or Jackie Chan, and that's what they're making him be. It's like if Jackie Chan was starring in this movie I'd be like, alright, but I gotta remember or figure it. I mean I'd be like alright, but I gotta remember or figure. I mean I did see everything everywhere all at once, so I mean, okay, fine, but it's just trying to put him into that role.
Speaker 3:Data didn't use his feet and hands to fight. Damn it.
Speaker 1:That's what my wife said when we were watching Red 1 earlier they showed this trailer. I'm just like, is that Data? I'm like, yeah, and he just got an award from Mikey. It's like a Goonies reunion.
Speaker 2:But no bottom line, though. It does look good. I will definitely watch this movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3:It looks fun, it's like a funny.
Speaker 2:John Wick yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3:Indiana, john Wick is what you said, no a funny John Wick.
Speaker 2:A funny John Wick Indiana.
Speaker 1:John Wick would be good too.
Speaker 2:That new John Wick movie that's coming out, with the girl in the world of John Wick. That looks bad. Yeah, the ballerina.
Speaker 3:I think we talked about that last trailer roundup.
Speaker 1:Last trailer roundup yeah.
Speaker 3:It looks so good. Next is One of them Days, so the premise of this is best friends and roommates.
Speaker 1:I was surprised you sent that one. What was that? I was surprised you sent that one.
Speaker 3:You know, I was given some variety, like there was some TV that I threw in this one and some other stuff. I just you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw that too. When I saw Max 2025, I'm like what the hell is that?
Speaker 3:I'm like, oh okay, I get it. Best friends and roommates about to have one of them days After they discover somebody's boyfriend has blown their rent money. They have to go through the day and try to get the rent money in many different ways so I thought it just kind of looked fun.
Speaker 1:I don't know It'll be one of those Wednesdays, as long as half of the movie is Cat Williams outside of the cash loan place? Don't do it.
Speaker 3:Just everywhere that they go, everywhere he's just coming up behind him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, direct to BET.
Speaker 2:I'm going to go ahead and pass on it. I don't mind.
Speaker 3:I was like oh, black women.
Speaker 2:Nope, I'm out. He was like wow, I was like I got excited when they showed the new girl moving into the department complex.
Speaker 3:I was like oh.
Speaker 1:That's why I put it in there for you.
Speaker 3:I was like oh okay, I figured when they had the new girl moving in and she was like when are we going to have wine?
Speaker 2:Right, I was like man, this movie looks real good all of a sudden, all we got was that one shot.
Speaker 3:Hopefully between her and Cat Williams. They're in the movie a whole lot. Honestly.
Speaker 2:I'm curious enough about that movie. It was like all right, this don't seem too bad. I won't pay for it, but it doesn't seem too bad.
Speaker 3:See, that's why I put it in the list. Jack, you racist son of a bitch, yeah, fucker.
Speaker 2:Jeez.
Speaker 3:Jack's over there like look, I got a black shirt on that's good enough, that's as close as I get black hole shirt and it's the criminal shirt yeah exactly, exactly, uh. Next up is uh next up is the Monkey, which is a horror movie by the guy that did Saw and has done a ton of other horror movies, I think so yeah, he's also. James Wan. Didn't he do one of the Fast and Furious movies? He did a couple of them, yeah.
Speaker 2:Seven. I thought Okay.
Speaker 1:Furious 7, he did a couple of them, yeah, Seven. I thought he's done a couple of them Furious 7, I thought he did.
Speaker 3:No, that's Justin Lim. Justin Lim has done the.
Speaker 2:This monkey one, I don't know man, it was okay. I'm not excited for it, though. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I need a better trailer.
Speaker 3:Yeah, give me a better, Because right now, they're trying to just push Stephen King.
Speaker 2:It's like, look, nobody likes Stephen King, come on.
Speaker 3:So dude's a tool. Next up, we have the. Max 2025 trailer where they show all of the stuff coming out next year. I was like, what kind of movie?
Speaker 2:is this.
Speaker 1:I know I was like oh it's vaccine part four Like cool.
Speaker 3:I was like no, that's not what this is. Maxine with four X's Wait what?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like. I was like they. They missed some X's on Maxine's. It was like on Cinemax.
Speaker 3:HBO Max the Max.
Speaker 2:Any of those stood out. I honestly couldn't.
Speaker 1:I saw it, the Draft of Us Season 2, obviously.
Speaker 2:Yeah, peacemaker.
Speaker 3:Season 2, for sure, season 3 of White Lotus.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that was good. You're missing out. It was fun, it's good.
Speaker 3:I'm interested about Dune Prophecy. I like the fact that they're putting a movie out. That's completely unrelated to the movies In the universe, but it's not like.
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought it was a TV show House of. Arrakis it is a TV show. Oh, you said movie. It's not related to the movie.
Speaker 3:It's not like a direct tie.
Speaker 2:He said unrelated, yeah, it's not like a direct tie to. He said I like that they're putting out a movie that's not related to.
Speaker 3:I misspoke. His belly hurts, it's okay. His belly hurts. Yeah, it's totally fine, I just wasn't sure if I misunderstood what was going on, because it is a TV show, so it is a TV show. Okay, it actually started already. It started today, you know usual.
Speaker 2:I'll wait until it's done and then I'll probably binge it. It looked okay. I don't see an issue here. It looks like I'm curious how they're going to fill in the rest of the world.
Speaker 3:Let's see, we got White Lotus, we have the Righteous Gemstones, which is great. I don't know that. One Celtic City, another spino City, another spin-off, another spin-off of Sex and the City, not for us. Looks like there's a Pee Wee Herman documentary coming out which I think could be kind of interesting.
Speaker 2:Seems a little late, but okay, the rehearsal.
Speaker 3:If you haven't seen the first season of the rehearsal, it was really good. What's?
Speaker 2:that one.
Speaker 3:I don't remember that one. That's the guy Nathan Felder who did. He was on a TV show where they would go and they would. So basically the rehearsal was that he would go and fix people's problems by reenacting, like if we're having a conversation and something goes wrong in our relationship and then we stop talking to each other, like he will come to you and be like okay, well what? Or you went to him and said, hey, I have this problem. And then what he basically would do would recreate the entire scenario, but he would just keep like he would do it in like a really weird, awkward way, like there was always a.
Speaker 3:There was always like something underneath it all. That was like kind of like you were like wait, something's fucked up here, like what's really. But it was awesome because like it was always the uncomfortable laughter type of thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I remember, I remember that premise now.
Speaker 3:Okay, okay, let's see.
Speaker 2:What else?
Speaker 3:The pit looks like a documentary about Brad. No, it looks like it's a hospital kind of ER. One of the guys from the original ER is in it, but it looks like they're in some sort of trauma unit? Or something. Task looks like it's going to be interesting just because of the cast. I guess Mark Ruffalo and Martha Plymouth and a bunch of people in it oh the FBI one. Yeah, conan O'Brien, peacemaker. What else do we have?
Speaker 2:here. Oh yeah, there was a Conan one Peacemaker definitely. Is Peacemaker 2 supposed to tie in with the new DCEU?
Speaker 1:Yeah, he said he did not get rid of Peacemaker and maybe Suicide Squad are still. That's basically where his MCU is starting.
Speaker 2:Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 3:We got yeah, Last of Us, Last of Us, definitely yeah, and that was it from the Max one.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, I think we covered all the stuff that we were the prequel series too, right.
Speaker 2:Oh, is that next? Is that.
Speaker 1:Derry, yeah, welcome to.
Speaker 3:Derry yeah, a, is that Derry? Yeah, welcome to Derry. The next one that I sent out was for September 5th.
Speaker 2:Oscar winner.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I always like movies that are they do a good job of mixing live real footage. That happened at the time. If they did that, if they get that right, which the trailer kind of gives to me, I was like, okay, like I'm bought in, like it looks like you guys did a really good job of balancing the real footage, as opposed to just redoing all of it.
Speaker 2:Or or if they recreate it exactly like if I put the tubes next to each other, I'm okay with that too, but you can't have no artistic license. You need to have the exact cadence. Whoever you got to redo it, I want it to be exact or I'm going to be mad. We didn't even talk about it. It's the 1972 Munich Olympics movie they have.
Speaker 3:Munich.
Speaker 2:Olympics yeah, they do have Munich Olympics.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 1972 Munich Summer Games. Oh, germany, I Munich Olympics. Yeah, 1972 Munich.
Speaker 1:Summer Games. When, oh Germany, I thought you said Eunich.
Speaker 2:Oh no, Munich.
Speaker 3:It's actually the third one. 1972 was the last year they actually did it. They had the regular Olympics, the Paralympics and the Eunich Olympics.
Speaker 2:And the Eunich Olympics. It kind of reminds me I already have an Argo feel about it. Argo Munich I can't believe this movie. How is this version of this movie, the fact that they're doing it from this angle Of how ABC what they had to do with it?
Speaker 3:I kind of like that.
Speaker 2:Spin on it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that should be interesting.
Speaker 2:I'm sure it'll be super sad but interesting yeah, it'll be super sad, it'll be yeah, it'll be super sad, it'll be super Oscar nominated. It's going to be fantastic, yeah.
Speaker 3:The next one is a TV show that has like Richard Gere and Jeremy Renner and stuff in it. It's called the Agency.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that looks good.
Speaker 3:Which looks like Michael Fassbender? Sorry, not.
Speaker 2:Jeremy Renner Fassbender, Sorry not Jeremy Renner Fassbender.
Speaker 3:Looks like it's some sort of hey, where were you when this happened? Flashback type of thing, one of those ones when they're sitting in the interrogation room at the beginning of the show and then they go. Well, how did we get here?
Speaker 2:You know that type of thing?
Speaker 3:Oh, that's not how I took it. So I think there's a little bit of that. That was my first takeaway to it, but I think there is more to it. I think stuff happens afterwards. But I think we start out by like, because it seems like they're trying to figure out what FastBander was doing and like, hey, where were you for this and why did you do this type of thing? And so waving around his huge slong Right, His fast penis. So I thought it looked interesting.
Speaker 1:Is it schlong Great His fast penis I thought it looked interesting.
Speaker 2:No, pole vaulter.
Speaker 3:He just walked into the room and he's like I'm the pole vaulter from the Olympics and everyone went, yes you are Totally get it. I thought it looked kind of interesting. Again, a ton of star power.
Speaker 2:I'm bored for sure. Again, I don't know if I want to watch it weekly. I'll wait until it's done and binge it.
Speaker 3:It's a Netflix show, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Oh is it.
Speaker 1:The agency, I think, was.
Speaker 3:Showtime oh, okay, so Paramount was. I was going to say, if it's Netflix, you know they're just going to drop it all at once I was going to paramount, yeah, but speaking of netflix, uh, the next trailer is called the electric state, which looks like that, one looks fun yeah, that one looks good I
Speaker 3:like that, yeah, yeah, like short, like short future, like not far future, but near, near future. There we go, but large robots that have personalities and there's there obviously some sort of apocalyptic event happens, because it's very like everything is dirty, everything's kind of destroyed and broken down. So I thought that looked. I thought it looked interesting.
Speaker 1:It looked different than a lot of the other stuff that we see.
Speaker 3:You know that's been put out, so on board yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, absolutely On board. Yeah, oh yeah absolutely.
Speaker 3:After that, as I was putting this together, the final Reckoning Mission Impossible movie trailer dropped. So what's your guys' opinions on the Tom Cruise MI universe and are you excited to see supposedly the final one?
Speaker 2:All of them, but two were fantastic Two. What is that Ang Lee version where he had long hair? Supposedly the final one? All of them, but two were fantastic Two. What is that Ang Lee version where he had long hair and it was all slow motion? I was like that was crap. The rest of them.
Speaker 3:They were on the, the, the spinning rod, and doing the wheelies on the motorcycles shooting at each other. I mean Jesus with doves on the background, cause you can't have a, because you can't have an Ang Lee movie without doves in the background.
Speaker 2:That franchise got really good when they started making it linear, like when one thing led to another and I think the movie three. Once movie three came out and then they had the trilogy with four, five and six. It was really well done. So I was not sad to see last year's and I'm looking forward to finishing the story this year or next year.
Speaker 3:And I'm sure there's going to be some crazy trailer that's put out where Tom Cruise was like holding his breath underwater for 45 minutes or something, because, given the trailer, there is a large portion of it that's underwater.
Speaker 2:So I'm sure there's probably some sort of crazy stunt that he insisted on doing.
Speaker 3:Oh, of course.
Speaker 2:Like the plane scene. You know Dan. Well, that was him up in the plane hanging off the wing.
Speaker 1:He got the rickets. Okay, tom, we're going back up in the plane, so hanging off the wing. Yeah, he got the the rickets. Okay, Tom, we're going back up to the service.
Speaker 2:All right, three shoots, why? Why do three shoots look so weird? But yeah, so. So yeah, jack, if you haven't seen, since two, three is a great story.
Speaker 1:I have them. I Black Friday'd them, them.
Speaker 2:I think I have all of them, up until the last yeah, you got me for for christmas one year, yeah, and it's been dude, it's so worth it. So it's one of those. Just it's when you're when you're like I don't feel like gaming, which is like never, but when that does happen, um, or when you have the two tvs, you have the football game on one and you can just have the movie that you're paying attention to on the other. But but yeah, it's 60, 40.
Speaker 2:Exactly, I liked one. I didn't mind too, just was like definitely bottom of the list of all of them. Yeah, and then three, especially, if I get it right, three is the one with Philip Seymour Hoffman, yep.
Speaker 3:I believe, you're right.
Speaker 2:Holy shit, talk about a good ass bad guy. Yeah, he, he owned that movie. Rest in power For real. Uh, three, I don't know, three might be my favorite and then, like I said, then the trilogy like three. Three is what started, then going linear, so year so I loved it.
Speaker 3:And 3 was the last one to just be a number, right, Because then after that they started doing something in Road. Nation and all of that. Yeah, Fallout, whatever it's called. Fallout something? No, I think it's just Fallout. I think you're right Fallout.
Speaker 2:Road Nation and something else, but either way, yeah, so I'm bored.
Speaker 3:Next year I'll be doing that one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there you go, fallout.
Speaker 3:Oh, I'll be doing that one. Yeah, there you go Fallout. Oh, there you go Fallout. This guy, the guy's, got jokes and then they did actually come out with a longer what If trailer, so that was the next one I put on the list. So what was your guys' impression of what If?
Speaker 2:I didn't like the storm spoiler. It's like let us see that during the show.
Speaker 3:Don't put that out there but again, that's true, you know, like that goes back to what we talked about earlier. It's like how much? How much do you give before you're giving too much?
Speaker 1:you know and has she held it before?
Speaker 2:yeah right, I don't know the comic history is so to know that. Um what do they?
Speaker 1:do what they do with that person.
Speaker 2:So I'm not sure she can't pick it up yeah. Yeah, especially with her ability. You know, I don't see an issue with that, I just didn't want to see it. I wanted to be surprised, like if we're watching a scene and shit's going not their way and all of a sudden Storm shows up, it's like oh shit, and now that's gone. Storm shows like oh shit, and now that's gone. Yeah, maybe there's other oh shit moments that are better I'm sure there is.
Speaker 1:I mean there better be, but it's always been, uh, my favorite series of those books of marvel, yeah, even like back to the comic books. I've always loved like the alternate takes on stuff.
Speaker 3:So when they what if spider-man didn't get bitten by that spider? Yeah, does Uncle Ben die.
Speaker 2:All these things yeah.
Speaker 3:Philosophical debate. Yeah, so we have that to look forward to next month.
Speaker 2:Yeah, december 22nd. Yeah, december 22nd.
Speaker 3:So I'm sure we'll be talking and or doing watch-alongs with that Yep, with those Are they dropping it daily again? Yeah, I think it's going to be one a day for up until probably up until.
Speaker 2:Christmas, cause I think it's only a new year's Eve. Yeah, cause I thought it was eight episodes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah, so that would make sense then to go up until new year's eve. And then the last one was one that just popped up and I just thought it was funny, but it's a movie called yacht rock about the history of yacht rock this was mostly for lou.
Speaker 2:Oh, my god, I'm glad you picked it, because I didn't know this was coming out. I'm like, oh, I'm still watching this.
Speaker 3:Sometimes I see a link and I'm like, oh shit, this is like lou's wheelhouse right here oh, it sure is.
Speaker 2:I was like what Are they really making this? I'm like oh shit, I'm watching this.
Speaker 3:An interview with Michael McDonald. I'm in, oh right.
Speaker 2:It's like, and then, oh yeah, the way the cultural appropriation that was happening with it too, but not like the negative way everybody thinks about it right now. It was just the fact that everybody's borrowing musically from everybody else and how it played out and we're going to make fun of these people and that was like a way to celebrate. Oh my God, I am so on board.
Speaker 3:On board. What about you, Jack?
Speaker 2:On board.
Speaker 3:We should rent a boat and go out on the boat and watch the movie. While together on the boat with watch the movie.
Speaker 1:While together on the boat with comic-con behind you know the day that we don't, the day that none of us get tickets it looked entertaining enough, but I mean I'll catch up on the mission impossible movies first, probably yeah, totally fair don't worry, I'll tell you all about it.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm sure you will it'll be like. It'll be like let me give you some behind.
Speaker 1:It'll be like oh, I finally watched the Yachtumentary.
Speaker 2:The.
Speaker 1:Yachtumentary, that's so good.
Speaker 3:And I think that's kind of it for movie trailers that have come out in the last couple last probably month or since we did this last time. So yeah, so boom, we'll see.
Speaker 2:Good list. Good list Good list.
Speaker 1:I watched Red One today. Ign gave it a three. I'm going to give it a seven.
Speaker 2:I was like if IGN gave it a three. That means you double it and add one, so which is a seven.
Speaker 3:Exactly. I mean, I don't think. I mean again, we've had the conversation about Rotten Tomatoes and their value, but it is trending at 33%.
Speaker 1:So I don't think it's just IGN. It wasn't horrible. I mean, if you watch this trailer, you know exactly what you're getting.
Speaker 3:So, chris Evans, if you wait and saw it, then you can't complain about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know. But people gave Borderlands less than what 10% and I still enjoyed it. But again, I don't know what people's issue is with Red 1, but with Borderlands I understood People wanted it to match more of the game and that story and it didn't. And luckily, like I said before a couple months back I forgot the story. So I was kind of going in blind and it was great because I didn't have anything to compare to compare. I didn't say, oh, it's supposed to be like this. I'm like I don't remember how it's supposed to be. So, whatever it is, it's great, that's what I got yeah, it was red red one.
Speaker 2:I don't. I don't understand how you you're. You're disappointed. Anybody as in you know what you're getting with this movie, right, yep, yep, and and either you're excited to watch it or you're.
Speaker 3:You know what you're getting with this movie, right, yep, and either you're excited to watch it or you're not. You know.
Speaker 2:And if you're not, you don't go watch it, right?
Speaker 3:Right yeah, exactly, don't give it your money.
Speaker 2:It was fun For real. That's all I wanted. That might be my. I have meetings all this week Monday, tuesday, wednesday.
Speaker 3:But if I get out, oh yeah, no, it's definitely worth it 100. So yeah, so we'll see if I can do it. I was looking up a gladiator 2 for next tuesday, because my tuesday, my tightwad tuesday group, and, uh, they're not doing tightwad tuesday the week before or the weekend before the or the week before christmas.
Speaker 3:Those assholes sorry before thanksgiving so that's just an fyi heads up for the five people who are going to watch this and you, you want to go into Taiwan Tuesday. I tried to get tickets and they were like Nope, $15. And I'm like you know, I am not that passionate about gladiator too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, after fricking Thanksgiving, I'll watch that next week for Taiwan.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so originally we were going to go to gladiator too, cause we figured there'd be less people going to it on Tuesday, and then the following week we're going to do Wicked, because then we were like okay that'll give us a week and a half.
Speaker 3:We won't be caught up in the mess. But now that's all kind of hosed up. It's like, well, okay, do we need to go on Tuesday if it's not going to be tight? The reason you go on Tuesday is to be at half price. If it's not half price, do we need to go on Tuesday? Nope.
Speaker 2:If you're paying full price, you're paying full price. So Gladiator 2 isn't porn.
Speaker 1:It's not Gladiator.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, it's not Gladiator.
Speaker 2:Because I was like man. How come I get invited to make this movie? This is crap.
Speaker 3:It'd be a two-minute movie. My name is lou. Yes, I was glad two minutes.
Speaker 2:If you do, four takes sure well, you'd have.
Speaker 3:You'd have a minute and a half of trailers before oh, okay, that works.
Speaker 2:Okay, not now. We're now we're talking um, yeah, I mean I, I guess I guess leading leading up between 1, gladiator 2, and Wicked, that's like three crunches to try to get, I might have to catch something like on a weekend matinee. I mean it's not much different than regular ice, but it is a little bit Exactly. I still got seven movies to watch.
Speaker 3:Well, and we're also getting to the time of year when, like NFL games are also wonky Times and days and college games Are now going to start getting wonky, spreading out as we get into the holidays. There's going to be more games. I mean, like Black Friday, there's three NFL games and I think there's a bunch of college games.
Speaker 2:Isn't it just one? There's three games on Thanksgiving and one game on Black Friday.
Speaker 3:I thought there were two games on Black Friday. Is it just one? There's three games on.
Speaker 2:Thanksgiving and one game on Black Friday. I thought there were two games on Black Friday.
Speaker 3:Is it only one? I thought it was just the Raiders and Chiefs, okay. Sorry, the commercials just all like. I don't even I know for certain.
Speaker 2:there's three on Thanksgiving and I know there's at least one on Black Friday, but there might be a second on Black Friday. Who's got the schedule? Hold on, but there might be a second on Black Friday. Who's got the schedule? Let's do it Honestly. What's weird is, after Red 1, wicked and Gladiator 2, I don't remember what's coming up next.

Speaker 2:Oh, okay roughly yeah, because nobody has a bye. Week 13, and then week 14 is the last week of the byes. Okay, cool, black Friday man. That's a good segue. Actually because I'm so mad I talked about it earlier in the thread I cannot stand that these places are doing early Black Friday sales. There's tradition. I don't want to see that. I want all the sales on Friday period.
Speaker 2:Cyber Monday is supposed to be a thing. Yeah, it's like oh, we're doing a Black Friday buster or whatever every Friday in November. No, fuck you man. I will admit I haven't even looked. I haven't even looked at whoever's doing that. I haven't looked at any of their shit, like nope.
Speaker 1:Roosevelt started theirs. You can get a shirt for like $25. A shirt?
Speaker 2:Well, there are exceptions to every rule.
Speaker 3:I think if you're talking like Roosevelt's, where it's a very specific niche thing where you can have, like, a rolling sale throughout the month, right. But if you're like Walmart or Best Buy or Amazon or Costco or whatever, like, no, like, just save it for Friday, like I shouldn't have. I mean, again, it's to get attention on their websites or whatever, right, so you're constantly checking every day oh, what's on sale, what's on sale, what was it? The site that got Amazon.
Speaker 3:That got in trouble a few years back for having their lightning sales or whatever, where it would only be for like an hour or whatnot, and like people sued them because they were like I don't remember.
Speaker 2:I remember something.
Speaker 3:One of the big one of the big one of the big box of sales companies had to change like how they handle things, because people were kind of getting hosed out of stuff where they'd have it on sale but then all of a sudden they would have it on like a better sale later and they wouldn't give people the difference.
Speaker 3:So like if they they were like hey, this DVD player is now $80. And you'd be like cool, like it's 35% off, and then they would say, oh, for this next hour it's now $40. You know, you know that type of the door buster type of things, like um, but they would do that in the middle of their sale. So like, even though all the stuff was on sale on friday, like some of the stuff was on better sale on saturday, so like why is that a legal issue?
Speaker 3:well, I think they were saying because they bought it and then they wouldn't do, they wouldn't like give them the better, like it was one of those consumer protection things, if I remember correctly. I don't remember what the site is, it's one of the loose facts that just floats around in my head around this time of year.
Speaker 2:My first thought is oh, I bought this on eBay for $700. Oh, the price dropped. It's now only going for $500. Okay, then you owe me $200. You buy it when you buy it If you got FOMO that's your problem, right? Don't get me wrong, I have it sometimes fucking nfts.
Speaker 1:I did something cool this weekend so, oh nice my oldest. She got super into fall. Oh yeah, we watched the show back in april and I hurt my back, so she got super into it. So now she's played three, four vegas all of it.
Speaker 3:Oh, she played 76. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:It's not as horrible now. I've heard it's improved and she doesn't have a lot of complaints about it.
Speaker 2:Wait, what do you mean now? Did they change the game?
Speaker 3:It was a live service game. It was like dead.
Speaker 1:The servers were, the maps were like empty. There were no bad guys, no quests, nobody played with you. But it seems okay now she has a decent enough time with it. She switches between 76 Vegas and 4, depending on whatever mood she's in.
Speaker 3:With Liam Neeson.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So, anyways, saturday and today, actually, up in Good Springs, they had a Fallout celebration, fallout Fan Festival, because Good Springs, little rinky-dink mining town, population like 229 per the 2010 census. But there's a saloon there, a lot of history, cowboy stuff, and when they made New Vegas they went out there and they based part of the game on that saloon, that town. There's a little general store next to it. So this is the third year that they've done it. So the first year they had like a couple hundred people, last year inching toward a thousand. This year they said they were getting on towards like 5,000 people, holy shit.
Speaker 1:So we drove out there um, it's about 45 ish minutes from the house, almost california. Um, we parked they had shuttles, you know, rather than walking through the desert for 20 minutes to get to the town, but that should give you the feel. Yeah, but it was cool. We got there early enough that we didn't wait in line too long for registration. They gave everyone the Vault Boy mask. I didn't know they were giving us that, so that was cool to get that. For Frizzle, I had my oldest and her two BFFs, so three teenagers If you pay for Frizzle, I had my oldest and her two BFFs, so three teenagers, if you pay for it, you get all four masks.
Speaker 2:Actually it was free. That's what I'm saying. Wait, wait, the event was free. The event was free, bruh, holy shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you just had to sign up on Eventbrite just so they could get a rough headcount. You didn't have to, but they wanted to just so they could get a headcount. But yeah, no, it was free to go to. Obviously they were selling Rad Roach burgers and shit like that, so you had to buy food if you wanted food. We ended up getting a couple of floats. It was a Sour Patch Kid was a Sour Patch Kid, blue Sour Patch Kid, not Warheads Sour Patch.
Speaker 2:Kids, that's tolerable. Sour Patch.
Speaker 1:Kids are tolerable. We're good. It was the Blue Raspberry Sour Patch Kid ghost drink with ice cream in it. That was pretty good. We did buy shirts. I bought them all shirts, which is what costs a lot of money, but they're like officially licensed from bethesda. It has like the vault boy in front of the pioneer saloon and stuff. It has the dates, so it was kind of cool. But the people there I think probably 80 of people that were cosplay wow, like from simple like vault suits all the way up to power armor.
Speaker 2:That's a that's a high number.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm like dang. Maybe I should play Fallout. These people are super into it. I'm like dang. That's pretty good For them to be that hyped into it. I'm like huh.
Speaker 1:Maybe, I should give it another shake, but it was cool. They had a bunch of little vendors and stuff selling Hawking their wares. It was cool. It was a good time. We'll probably go again next year. Uh, we were there, for we got there a little before nine, we left about noonish and then we went to the um atomic museum because that's like part of the whole thing. So you could, um, you could go to the event and then you could pay them and they'll bus you to the atomic museum and the old mormon fort, oh cool. So I asked the girls, because one of them had a birthday party to go to. I'm like we can do one or the other, we can't do both. So they chose the atomic museum. So that was cool. Um, again, especially since oppenheimer's come out and stuff. Yeah, um, they had a lot of stuff about him and his involvement in it like more focused. He was in there before but, um, wait, wait, wait wait, wait.
Speaker 2:So this is the one that's off of uh trap so let me go yeah the one that we went to. Let me go. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say so. They were going to bus you to all this and bring you back to state yeah, yeah, and that was like 90 bucks though.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, okay, that part was not free, but it got you to both the 90 bucks got you to both locations, though if you wanted to do them, wow that's.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's not awful for.
Speaker 2:No, it's not, it's not. I mean it would be for me only because I imagine they put a time limit on you.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:And I don't like time limits at a museum.
Speaker 1:And we were going through the museum and suddenly all these Fallout people show up. I'm like, oh yeah, they were bussing them in and the bus was out there and they started loading the bus up before we left. I was like, oh no, thank you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly that's the part. The whole concept is fantastic, but I want my time in the museum, yeah.
Speaker 1:It was funny, though, because my daughter she's, very Thankfully, we've imprinted upon her. When you go to a museum, you read everything and you learn some shit and her friends are just like we're going to go and play oh, look at this, Look at that squirrel. She was like no, no, no, we're going to go and play. Oh, look at this, Look at that squirrel. She was like these motherfuckers. I'm trying to read some shit.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. Yes, that's how you do it.
Speaker 3:Uncle Lou approves.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah, 100% Solid, but it's cool. I really do like that museum.
Speaker 1:It's little, but I really do like it, I mean.
Speaker 2:I've been before it's set up. Well, it's so nice.
Speaker 3:It's set up really well. They've done a good job with the dioramas and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Do they have anything special? Do they sometimes have a special thing going on in the other room?
Speaker 1:They did not no, that special room was closed. The little one had like some uh, cold war USSR kind of spy exhibits, but no, nothing fallouty really, unfortunately. They would have done good to uh yeah.
Speaker 2:To try to tie that in. But maybe next year they'll uh they'll do this, or on the weekend, where the Raiders have a home game right Uh baby steps, a home game, right, baby steps. A home game against the Steelers. I mean or the Giants, if that's what it takes, or the Broncos, or the Chiefs.
Speaker 1:Okay, as long as the Raiders are at home, Lou will be here for that weekend so he can do fallout.
Speaker 2:Let's do all of it. Yeah, fuck it.
Speaker 1:Let's do all of it.
Speaker 2:But it was cool.
Speaker 1:It must be how you feel, how those guys felt getting on the ground floor of Comic-Con or something, just because I could see this blowing up. Really well, there were people. They were camping out there in the motherfucking desert.
Speaker 3:It was like 40 degrees, I don't like nothing that much, but you know that's me. Hey, we've spent our time in front of Toys R Us. All right, my friend, this is true.
Speaker 1:And that time we did the. Rose Parade because George Lucas was the Grand Marshal We'll have to save that story for next time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the one time that Star Wars was actually represented in the Rose Parade in a big way, that was the year Lucas was the Grand Marshal or something, right? Yeah, yeah, sorry you missed that, lou. You would have had a ton of fun with us on that one, almost getting in fights with people over the seats and shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were like homeless people, bro I almost had a fight today at Walmart.
Speaker 2:I was back in, all shopping was done, everything was good. I was back in. That's why I backed out of my spot. It's a one-way. I'm back out. I'm about to go down. Some dude from the left, going left to right, starts walking out. I'm like, okay, no big deal, he'll walk across. No, he started walking down the middle of the freaking road.
Speaker 2:I was like no, we ain't having that. I pulled up, pulled up. He saw me about two feet from him and he looked back and then he finally got out of the way, but he kept staring like he's trying to mad mug me. I'm like, oh hell, no, put the car in park.
Speaker 1:Did you pull to the side first so you weren't blocking the fucking aisle, though? Nope, there was nobody behind me. You a dick. Somebody's going to fight you. Now. You're going to have to fight this guy for being in the way. One.
Speaker 2:I did look. And two, the aisles were big enough where I didn't even have to move over. Somebody could have went around me, but nobody was back there. So I get out. I again put my truck in park, got out, I was like what Say something? You gonna stare me down, then say something, I'm right here now what you gotta say. And he's like you speak Spanish. And I was like, oh hell, bro, was white and blonde.
Speaker 1:It was me, lou, it was me, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, lou, I was right so I was like I went off. I was like walk across the parking lot, don't walk down the aisle where I'm freaking driving, get out of the way. It's like I hate that when people cross the damn way like that in front of target or walmart. Walk straight across shortest path. Don't give me this angular shit. Right, I'll wait for you. That's the shortest path to my car though. Yeah, yeah, it's all about you Fuckers, so when he kept walking man.
Speaker 2:But I was like you want to walk across? And just like, okay, I'm going to walk across, but you want to turn around and try to stare me down. I'm like, oh hell, no, let's do this. And then I get out of the car and he doesn't want to do anything. He doesn't want to say anything except ask if I speak Spanish. Man, hell, I was ready.
Speaker 1:I was like man this bro.
Speaker 2:All this ice cream would have about to melt. I would have let all my I don't even care, it's Walmart brand, it was $2.97.
Speaker 3:I'll buy another one, it wouldn't have melted. I'll watch videos on YouTube. No, I watch videos. I was like what the fuck? I was ready, I was like, let's do it.
Speaker 2:I was ready to fight right there. All I had to do was say something. I was like I'm right here Again. Don't stare somebody down if you ain't ready to get your ass whooped. It's as simple as that.
Speaker 3:I can't wait until we're driving through LA and Jack does something that Lou doesn't like he's like put the car in park.
Speaker 1:I gotta get out.
Speaker 3:You got a problem. We got a problem here and Jack's like what are you talking about? It's me, I know we got a problem here. What?
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 3:What did I tell you? I saw you mean mugging me in the rear view, motherfucker.
Speaker 2:Dan put your seatbelt on Exactly.
Speaker 3:That's all you hear. It's just dead silence, except for the ding ding ding.
Speaker 2:You're going to get that. Sam Jackson stares motherfuckily meme looking right back at you.
Speaker 1:I feel sorry for people who don't watch the video version.
Speaker 3:Oh, they'll feel it. They'll feel it, they'll know. They know that silence is filled. I had a friend who had a birthday party this weekend and we ended up going to. There's a really good Russian restaurant in town called.
Speaker 2:Kachka, they're already in a hurry. They want to get you in and get you out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a Russian restaurant Russian Hammonds and Roman Fingers is right next door.
Speaker 2:Oh my.
Speaker 3:God, no, it was really good food. They were trying all sorts of vodkas and I am not a, I do not do, I do not shoot say vodka okay, or charcoal. Well, again, my stomach hasn't been doing too good for the last couple days so we're sitting there and they're like try this. And I'm like, like, but then uh, what's, what's, what's russian food?
Speaker 2:like what, what is considered like what?
Speaker 3:I mean, it's a lot of like cabbages, beets, that it's like a lot of vegetables and a little bit of meat mixed in, type of thing. So they had the borscht. They had a bowl of borscht where it was beets with meat, but it was heavy beets, light meat, so that type of thing. Is he stroganoff? What else did we? Is that Russian?
Speaker 1:That sounds Russian. Was that stroganoff? What else did we Is that Russian?
Speaker 3:That sounds Russian. Was that stroganoff? Yes, I thought that was German. No, that's white trash Only if it's. Burger Helper.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Hey, hey, now you respect Burger Helper.
Speaker 3:It's funny when I mean, I still when I go to restaurants and I order beef stroganoff and they come out with like, like it's like a steak that's been cut up in the the wavy, uh, wavy noodles and I'm like what the fuck is this shit? It needs to be hamburger, meat and rice, because that's how I was raised on it, that was, that's my, that's my beef stroganoff right like Gordon Ramsay back here making that shit fancy first time I had, it was hamburger helper.
Speaker 2:So that's my jam um. First time I had hamburger helper, I was like 20 so so, so that was really good.
Speaker 3:Um, it's amazing, weirdly the russian place makes a really good moscow mule.
Speaker 1:It's crazy that's wild almost like it's a house special or something. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2:We call it water here.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, exactly you're, you come out of the bathroom and you go to the water fountain. You're like wait a second.
Speaker 2:Exactly it smells like vodka Okay.
Speaker 3:And then afterwards there was a place a couple blocks away from it called Hopscotch which reminded me 100% of Area 15, where it's like you went in and each room had like some sort of different like art installation. So like they had one where you went into the room and it was a inflated floor, so you took your shoes off and went in and bounced and there was light motion detection all over and so like you could watch the wall and you would see yourself like there'd be like lines and stuff like that that would follow you as you walked around and it was on the floor and on the wall. So it was super cool. They had a wall where they had like um, it was like uh, cans of spray paint, but they were like ir, um, it was like an ir beam, and then you would like spray, spray the wall and it would put up on the wall whatever you had, um, so it was very like. I don't. I mean, you guys I'm sure you guys have both did area 15 at some point, right? Nope? So really.
Speaker 3:Nope. Well, you better hurry up Cause.
Speaker 1:I think it's closing. It's not. It's building next to it. That's stuff you're talking about.
Speaker 3:The addition to I looked it up. Oh, okay, cool, thank you for looking that up. I'm glad area 15 isn't going away. I hope they rotate the uh art stuff though, because, like once you've done it, once, like you're like, okay, cool, like I did it, yeah I'm sure they do, yeah, each room is.
Speaker 3:Each room is just a different, uh, a whole different thing and uh, yeah, it was a. It was kind of a trip. There was some pretty cool things in there where you just go and sit and the lights would do their weird thing and you would just kind of like, you know, a bunch of them had music playing and that type of stuff Ended up being a really cool couple hours.
Speaker 2:I remember you saying last week do you have another one next week? You have like a couple of birthdays in a row coming up.
Speaker 3:I thought, yeah, next week we're doing tacos somewhere like a good taco place, and then we're going to go see Gladiator.
Speaker 2:2.
Speaker 3:Appropriate timing yeah, I will text you guys when I'm done. Gladiator 4. I had four tacos and then afterwards we're going to a Winterhawks game, so I'm going to go watch hockey. Guys what?
Speaker 2:Yeah, hell to the yeah.
Speaker 3:So yeah, so yeah. Oh, fingers crossed, right, so. But I think it's a big group of people going, so that should be a good time as well. Maybe do a bar crawl afterwards, depending on how people are feeling. What time is the game? Seven, five or seven, it might be five.
Speaker 2:Early enough where you can make that bar crawl, and it's not two in the morning.
Speaker 3:I think it's because it's a weekend, it's a five o'clock game, but I could be wrong. Like it depends? I think a lot of it depends on if the Blazers are playing, because the stadiums are right next to each other and so I think of the Blazers are home, the game starts earlier, just so they don't have all of the people from both events showing up at the same time. Like they stagger them a little bit.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that would. I didn't really think about that. That would suck If, if, if the Broncos and the nuggets or the Broncos and the avalanche had a game the same day, which I think has probably happened, even if, even if it's off time, like you know, broncos play at a local time, broncos play at 2.30, and the other arena doesn't get used until like 6 or 7. That's still some overlap. That would suck, especially since a lot of the Broncos fans will use the basketball slash hockey stadium for parking. That's where it becomes a problem, just the parking. I don't give a shit about all the people. It's like whatever you know, most people are going to walk down to downtown, get public transportation, whatever, but parking. If you didn't take public transportation, you're freaking screwed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we know all about your parking in downtown Denver, Luke.
Speaker 2:God gross.
Speaker 3:If you haven't go back to podcasts, because then you'll hear all about it.
Speaker 1:I think that was last week Probably was last week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because of the whole Hamilton Driving down there and all that and the Christmas parties, yeah, and the Christmas parties, yep. And then Tuesday we're down there again because middle child SO's middle child had Hamilton with her friend, because it was supposed to be SO and her daughter. But then I surprised them with tickets for the three of us, and so it was like, well, daughter couldn't go, so we took son, and so the three of us went two Saturdays ago, and then Tuesday, the tickets that she was supposed to have with her daughter. It was like, well, she already went, so how about you go with your friend who's also into theater, the whole thing. So they did that. We hung out downtown while they did their thing and we were trying to watch Venom, actually, but got tickets to the wrong Regal Theater. We got the one for like five miles away, not the one that's where we were.
Speaker 3:Not the one you were standing in front of.
Speaker 2:No, Because we were at dinner when we got the tickets so we weren't really paying attention to it. We ended up hanging out at Lucky Strike and had drinks and just chatted until we met up with the kids again. That was it, Two of them just talking about it the whole time, obviously.
Speaker 3:Was this your brewery weekend, when you went to the brewery for the company?
Speaker 2:No, that's the 12th of December.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Honestly, you know what? And that might not happen because that's the down, okay, that's the downtown company party, right 12, we'll see. Well, one of our vendors, uh, just invited me to to their company party the same night. Except their party is that like some fancy old 200 a plate restaurant where they have entertainment, open bar and appetizers are your dinner, but all the appetizers, like I said, they're like if I were to buy all this shit. I went last year and it was great if I would buy all this shit. You know you're not walking out of there without 500 bucks, so I'm like that seems more exciting than a uh brewery to me.
Speaker 3:So I don't know. It's a new job so it's like that's what I was thinking. You might have to make the sacrifice to build those relationships right now.
Speaker 2:I might we shall see. I haven't committed to either one of them. I only found out about the new one on Friday, so we'll see what happens. Even with the one for work, I've had it for four weeks now and I still haven't committed to it. But that commitment is because it's downtown. The other one is not downtown, so that might matter, it might not matter, I don't know. I have until the 9th or something to respond, whatever. So I have until what? Was it something to respond? Whatever. So I have until Black Friday, I think.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:18th, 19th, 20th. Yeah, I have until Black Friday to respond, which realistically means next Wednesday, to figure out what I'm going to do. So I have 10 days to figure out what I'm going to do. So we'll see. But as much as I want to go to the Fantasy One, Duke, you're right, I think I've only been there about a time. This happens two months. I should probably go to the work one.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:He's like were you busy? Yeah, I was. I was at one of our vendors' parties, not ours.
Speaker 1:I was getting contracts Building relationships. I was trying to build relationships. I was getting contracts Build a relationship. I was, I was, I was working network network.
Speaker 2:Come on y'all, it's part of our industry. So so we'll see. We'll see, but it's cool, Anything else. 1130.
Speaker 1:I gotta get, I gotta right, that's what I was just thinking. So much for making an hour. Yeah, I know right.
Speaker 3:I'm grateful, you guys grateful, for anything this week.
Speaker 2:I don't even think about it. Probably Dang.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm grateful it's a work thing, but I'm grateful that my trainee is off the work this week. Not that I don't like training I bet you are but it is nice to just do my job. You know, like when you're training someone it's constant. Like you know, do it this way, do it this way, that's you know. That's not what they said. So it's nice to just kick back and like, do your job. So not that I have anything against training, because I really do like it. It keeps me up on policy and everything. But it is also nice to have I always call it grown-up time, because it's just me and my job Kicking ass.
Speaker 3:Says the guy who wears fucking Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 2:Roosevelt shoots to work like 90% of the time. Very grown-up, very grown-up and.
Speaker 1:I can save lives and the city while dressing fashionably.
Speaker 2:It's very soft material. You want to be comfortable when you save lives.
Speaker 1:You don't want to be in all itchy-ass clothes and shit. You don't want that. I can't type.
Speaker 2:You're scratching that one hand. That's inefficient and you can't be doing that.
Speaker 3:There's rules, luke. Come on, jack's like you're a practice stipend with one hand, that's fair. Some would say decades, but you know.
Speaker 1:How long has the internet been around Exactly?
Speaker 2:Who's got an AOL disc for me? Netscape maybe, earthlink, 10 free hours, y'all Right, let's see. Let's see what did I have going? Oh, you know what? I'll tell you what. Because this crossed my mind at work this week. I was grateful. Actually doing proper work like no more training, no more.
Speaker 1:whatever you said that you were still learning stuff and that they might could give you your portfolio this week they.
Speaker 2:They still didn't, but, and that's okay, with there's some other issues going on, they have to wait till this week, uh, to do it, which is fine, but I was able to actually help people. It's like, hey, can you enter this budget or can you check the system on? How do we do this? Can we do this? And since everybody else has a portfolio, they don't have time for that minutia. They've got to work on their stuff. So I was like, yeah, yeah, give it to me, give it to me. So it was cool that inputting budgets and stuff like that helps me learn the system. I get to help them and I actually felt like I was doing something instead of just reading PDFs about how to do this how to do that, how to do all this other thing.
Speaker 2:You get to do your actual job and there's just you know what, do that? Yeah, that's. I didn't think about that, but it's the same thing. Yeah, you just kind of said really at the end of the day yeah, it's exactly that. It was like I've been doing this job for a long time but I haven't been able to do it yet because I don't have a portfolio yet. But I was able to do for help everybody else.
Speaker 2:I was like okay, solid yeah, so that felt kind of good. It was like, ah, this is what it's supposed to be like, so I mean it'll get there. Like I said, it may happen this week. It may not just just because there's some some drama not major drama, it's just like, like the person that was supposed to get me the portfolio, she's had a medical issue, so that's the drama. It's like there's nothing major, it's like planned surgery just make sure you call and check on her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's that and I'll make sure I don't want her to quit on me or anything like that, considering she owns the company, that would suck you actually went in there with scrubs.
Speaker 3:Hey, no, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I didn't want to do it just over the phone.
Speaker 2:I wanted to make sure that you knew that somebody was there for you I got this sponge bath covered, man, we're not gonna leave you hanging, um, but yeah, so the recovery is a little bit longer than they thought. So it's like okay, when Sponge bath covered, man, we're not going to leave you hanging. But yeah, so the recovery is a little bit longer than they thought. So it's like okay, when she's back, then we'll work. I'm like okay, whatever, as long as you don't mind that I don't have a full day to do stuff. I'm kind of effing off a little bit, but hey, can you help with this? Yep, it's like no problem, done, done you want to pay me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly so. So they're giving me a little more like that type of stuff to do to help out. But at the same time, I can appreciate them that they're not trying to take advantage of. It's like, let's just give him all the stuff I don't want to do. It's like, well, no, let's give him the stuff I don't have time to do, because, whatever it's not just I'm going to be lazy, no, I need help because I'm working on this. My yeah, just send it over my way, especially since obviously y'all know I'm a numbers guy. So the fact that they give me budgets to enter and all, oh, my God, yeah, I was like, ooh, yes.
Speaker 3:Except for when he sends the email out. I only have three budgets. I need one more budget to work on or else I can't do any of them. It has to be an even number.
Speaker 2:I mean she found a fourth one for me so it was fun when I was getting mine. There were four, so it worked out, so whatever, the email only had three and I was like Nope, nope.
Speaker 3:Can't open them Billy.
Speaker 2:I kind of looked at the email. I was like property one, property two, property three. I was like didn't you have a meeting last night? I can do that one if you want me to. Oh that, didn't you have a meeting last night, I can do that one if you want me to. Oh, that would be great. Yeah, okay, like so, yeah, I was, I was able to get, I was able to knock them all out in the same day so that was kind of good that part is.
Speaker 3:I'm not even kidding, I wasn't even calling you out, I was just like I know it was like that happened.
Speaker 2:I did. I kind of I did the whole thing. You know, like hey, if I send you these budgets, I'm like yeah, yeah, go ahead, send them. Then I clicked it open and it was a generic here you go. Then I looked at the attachments and it was just three attachments. I'm going to twitch a little bit over here.
Speaker 1:I would just send a fourth attachment. It would be called Make Lou Feel Better attachment.
Speaker 2:That would be the title of it I.
Speaker 3:I'd be okay with that Insight. You open up the fourth one. It's just a certificate.
Speaker 2:Good job buddy. Even number. It doesn't bother me if it's one. One's an odd number, but three.
Speaker 3:It's a prime number. You've got a problem with prime numbers. There you go. He does have the Decepticons on his arm.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do like the Decepticons more, so there is that how about you, duke, I guess, since we're talking about work this week.
Speaker 3:Not that I want to talk about work, but last week somebody sent out I'm trying to be as vague as possible so somebody had sent an email to our. You're in the right place for it. Yeah, somebody sent her. I think I talked about this a little bit last week, where somebody had sent out an email accusing our software of not working. Right, I was starting to type a reply that was kind of politically just very neutral, right, like hey, yep, we're going to look into this. You know, it's not always our problem. It's not always our problem. There's multiple aspects to this. Blah, blah, blah. And then my coworker, who's 30, just turned 30, replies and says, well, it's fine, because this rule sucks and this is crap and it was sent to seven different people. And I'm just like, oh shit. And I'm saying, dude, you got to check yourself before you send those emails out on who it's going to.
Speaker 3:Again, my work is very political as far as not political like US politics, but just the political like you got to be nice to people. You're a contractor man, uh. Then one of the other people on the thread responded and was just like snip was super snippy back and I'm just like oh no, so then like it has begun well we, we ended it.
Speaker 3:We ended our day at noon and I came into work on Monday and my boss had responded and it said like hey, I don't like where this is going. We need do we need to have a meeting about this If we do include me dah, dah, dah, dah. And then Tuesday, we did our uh, we did our, our standup meeting that we do every Tuesday. And she says, hey, I didn't like how he responded, I didn't think that was professional at all, basically just took a shit over, all over the guy who responded instead of my, my co-worker, and I was like this is why I love my boss, because I'm sure she probably had a conversation with him on the side about it. But the reality is the person who responded was a person in leadership and they should not have kind of continued the egging on of the kind of inappropriate phrasing and that kind of stuff yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And I was like, and I, after the stand-up I taught, I sent a message to my co-worker. I said this is why I didn't leave, because when I first started at this job I got other offers for more money. But I'm like my boss has my back, which you can't say that a whole lot anymore these days. And I'd actually had other people who had started other similar jobs around the same time that deal that we're dealing with the same software. And within six months they were like I fucking hate this place. My boss is awful, the software is fine, but it's just super toxic and blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 3:And while my job isn't the greatest and I have to deal with a lot of shit, I know in general my boss isn't going to. My boss is going to have my back. Even if we have to have a conversation, it's going to be a conversation between me and her. It's not going to be in a meeting with a bunch of people where she's calling me out in front of them. She'll have my back during the meeting and then be like afterwards hey, give me a call and then we'll talk it out. But at least in the meeting she'll have my back and I to me that goes a long way, more than money or anything else. Knowing that, knowing when she responded that way, I was like I see you, like you're calling out that guy, which you should be doing, but a lot of places don't they always call out kind of the?
Speaker 2:lower totem pole yep.
Speaker 3:And so for her to be like, hey, that guy was inappropriate and how he responded to you, your response was inappropriate, sure, but him escalating further, like she was like, and he's a leader, like, he's a manager, like he should not be, and I was like, I was doing the winky, like I see you girl, like you know, like, nice, like this is why I, and I told him, I said this is why I stuck around, because she's not going to, uh, embarrass you in front of a bunch of people, right, she, unless you do something stupid that she can't defend, right, right. And his email was, was very immature and he phrased it awful. But you know, like she handled that on the side and that's her job as a manager. She didn't just jump into the thread and call him out in front of everybody. So that type of thing.
Speaker 3:I really appreciate it. So I really appreciated my boss last week, like I I've got, you know, while my job is extremely frustrating at times, like I know that, that my boss trusts what I'm doing and that she, you know, she will always give me the benefit of the doubt, you know. So to me that goes a long way with with the job, especially as we get older and as you know like thankfully lou, you're in a, you're in a position that you know your jobs are you. You have options right, like you can go to any city and you can get a job working for a company doing property management right yeah like and I'm not.
Speaker 3:I'm not trying to say like I'm better than you or anything, but the it sector right now is really dire, like there's getting a getting a job at the level that I am now comfortable with financially and benefits wise, and everything would be really really hard anywhere else. So I'm happy that I'm in a position that I'm getting paid what I'm getting paid and I get the benefits and that my boss has my back. So I'm not concerned about my job, you know yeah, yeah, right on so sorry that was a ramble, but no, no, it's good.
Speaker 3:A lot of peace of mind that goes with that, yeah yeah, so I mean again, I'm still a contractor, so I could log into the computer tomorrow and it could be like hey, like go visit the staffing agency because you're a contractor there, contractor. There's always that hanging over me, but at least I know that it isn't going to be because my boss is an asshole.
Speaker 2:It's not going to be bullshit.
Speaker 3:I've had a lot of assholes for bosses in my time. I'm sure we all have To get a good one like that. I think is a real. There's a lot of value in that, cool Thanks.
Speaker 1:Grateful Time that's it so, but cool yeah, thankful grateful bedtime yep, that's it, wrapping it up, beep, beep, beep.
Speaker 3:Lou just undid his seatbelt. He's hopping out the car.
