party time excellent showing hello, my friend, for the younger viewers. Wayne's world hilarious, definitely at the time. I don't know if it holds up. I haven't watched it for a while, oh it totally does.
Speaker 1:I mean, in my head it totally does. Why would I need a gun rack when I don't own a gun, much less many guns, thus necessitating a gun rack? I think that's the only line. That's Lines stick with me, but that's the only one that when she's like I bought you a gift and you're like she's like, what is it? She's like it's a gun rack. I don't even own a gun, much less miniguns, thus necessitating a rack, but I love inane humor like that.
Speaker 2:Alright. Well, for those of you with the video, you'll notice that Lou is not here. Well, I guess those of you with ears notice Lou's not here. Yeah, fair, also fair. So who knows, he's not sick again. I think he just fell asleep. Maybe he's getting old.
Speaker 1:Right After he's done with his programs. Yep, my stories are over.
Speaker 2:It's time for bed.
Speaker 1:I think we can talk about stuff now, because it's been two weeks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he doesn't want to show up Shit. Let's talk about stuff without him.
Speaker 1:So how are you sir?
Speaker 2:I'm all right. You know it's cold.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it is. We were at the beach this weekend to celebrate this guy. Yeah yeah, birthday boy, and yeah, it was man. Airbnb houses are so weird.
Speaker 1:Don't fucking believe the commercials, because most of us us we spent most of the weekend just wandering around the house trying to figure out why they made the decisions that they made for like decor or how the house decor, the layout, expansions of the house, like it was one of those things where probably it's like it was a five bedroom, three bath house, right, but it probably started out as like a two bedroom, one bath house and then they've been like adding on to it so, yeah, it just like the basement was finished, but they had like the laundry is alive lou will be joining us.
Speaker 2:That's just in. That's just in.
Speaker 1:Lou is alive but yeah so, but then like one wall where all the doors for all the clock, all the rooms in the basement it was just like one big long row of barn doors that none of them fit the the door frames that they were in. So, like the room that I was in, there was like a two inch gap on either side of the door frame where the door wasn't wide.
Speaker 2:So people would look in while you were jerking off? Yes, and have a full view. Yes.
Speaker 1:With the door closed, though. Yes, yes, they didn't even need to move the door or anything like that, it was just there, and I was like this is so weird. But the coast was nice, did you?
Speaker 2:still have all your organs. Did you check your kidneys okay?
Speaker 1:yes, I at least have enough to function, so that's the important part, but I know it was uh, it was good, you know we've only stayed in one of those one time it was.
Speaker 2:it was the first time we had magic keys for disney. We went out there, we brought the mother-in-law and everything and it was a nice house.
Speaker 1:Like you could tell where they did add on at, but it was all right and again, I mean we've stayed at one down in southern Oregon along the coast for the last like three years and it's been great, but I didn't want to have a three-hour drive each way. Oh yeah, fuck that. So this was an hour and 25 minutes or something, so it was like it was just a birthday.
Speaker 2:It wasn't even like a decade, birthday or anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah so, but yeah, so that happened. So I am ready for bed now, to sleep in my own bed because yeah, no, because I I've been sleeping on a prison cot for the last three nights with people watching jerk off, mm, with people watching jerk off. So like double awkward, right, it's like you've already seen it once go away, right.
Speaker 2:Why are you back again tonight? Yeah, weirdo, nothing changed yeah nothing changed I didn't bring my grooming kit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's, that's one thing I probably should have done before. You know.
Speaker 2:Just you know for aesthetics, you know right right, but you didn't know you were going to have an audience.
Speaker 1:So yeah, yeah I assumed the door would just close, but I was wrong.
Speaker 2:Weird assumption that a door would close and you can't see through it.
Speaker 1:Well, and the funny part is all of them had those plug-in wall heaters like the ones that are super. Mine didn't. So my room was. I wake up in the morning I got cold dog nose because it is fucking 50 degrees, 50, 45 degrees in the room and I'm just like and normally I'm one of those guys, if I'm warm, like I don't want to get out of bed, but these beds made me want to like okay, yep, nope, it's time to get up. Let's start the day, let's go, yep.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I think I didn't do anything fun this week, it just worked.
Speaker 1:You're in the weird gap between fun times.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a couple more weeks until Disney Again. Darn it. I know Such a rough life I live. I did unbox some stuff in the casita those of you with video All those boxes are gone back there, yeah, so I just said I needed more boxes to bring back to the old house. So I'm like well, the bookshelves, bookcases in the the front room are about where they're going to be, so yeah, did you get your um your glass case situation handled up in the living yet? I was told that it's fine.
Speaker 1:Oh, all right, there you go. Was that Reddit told?
Speaker 2:you that? No, no, it was the wife who told me it wasn't fine before, but now it is. I guess it doesn't block the thermostat as much as she thought it did.
Speaker 1:All right, well, thank God Right, because all the time she's going to spend in here, yeah, exactly the thank god right, because all the time she's going to spend in here, yeah, exactly the time that it matters I mean, last week we watched the football games out here, so, but not today, right?
Speaker 2:no, we got to the tv before the kids did, so you were fine, exactly, boy, let's see anything else. No, oh, I did watch the john williams documentary on a disney plus we were talking about last week. Yeah, it was really good. I learned some stuff.
Speaker 1:Some stuff I knew, but I learned some new stuff yeah, I mean that to me when it comes to those types of documentaries like I assume I'm gonna know 60 of the stuff they're gonna yeah, like, but there might be 40 or 30 even 20.
Speaker 2:I did not know that he did the monday night football thing.
Speaker 3:I did not know that way back in the Night Football thing.
Speaker 2:I did not know that was him Way back in the day. No right now, right now. Yeah, that's him, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Wait, is that the one after Hank Williams Jr? I think so, yeah.
Speaker 2:Dun dun, dun, dun dun dun. Yeah, oh, all right, well there you go. Yeah, the one they're playing now, that was John Williams. Look who decided to wake up.
Speaker 3:Look who decided to actually respond to somebody after two hours of wondering where the heck he was.
Speaker 1:Talk about yourself.
Speaker 3:Talk about you. We were asking you what time we were going to start for two hours Like hey, does time work?
Speaker 1:Does time work. I was napping. I thought we were going to start at our normal time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, after the football game. That's the normal time for two months, eight o'clock.
Speaker 1:No, jack's had to fix his. The rule was Hold on.
Speaker 2:Jack's had to fix our echo Hold on, hold on. I think I got to pause Hold on. All right, I was going gotta pause, hold on.
Speaker 3:Alright, I was gonna say, let Jack do his magic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he'll figure something out.
Speaker 1:That's what I call a magic jack.
Speaker 3:Did you really not? You weren't interested in the games that much that you really didn't watch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, whatever. Alright, I was driving back from the coast today, so I was like I was like today. That's a problem to have.
Speaker 3:That's probably better, although the second game was pretty good, that first one.
Speaker 2:I hate bad football, that's all.
Speaker 3:That game was All bad football. Like I said, you win. If you're at the coast, you win.
Speaker 1:Was it? Was it one of those emotional hangover games where the commies came out? Or were the Eagles just schemed? Well enough, philly just outplayed them?
Speaker 3:Sort of Sort of. I think Jack's right. I mean, they kind of got outplayed, it was more. They had what? Four turnovers, Three turnovers, Something like that. Yeah, Whatever the answer was, but they started off really well play. It was more. They had what? Four turnovers.
Speaker 1:Three turnovers.
Speaker 2:Something like that, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, whatever the answer was, but they started off really well. They went fourth down, fourth down a couple times, which made no sense, the third time because they kicked the field goal. They went fourth down two different times and then they get down to like the 20-yard line and it's fourth down again in three, after going fourth on, like fourth and six and fourth and three or whatever, they get fourth and three the third time and they kick a field goal. I'm like all right, I don't quite understand that, but whatever, they got points and then eagles come down very first play, they get a barkley 58 yard touchdown right and then it all the wheels fell off. Washington just sucked themselves in the foot, fumbled the ball, f fumbled the ball I don't even think it was interception Fumbled the ball on a kickoff, it was just oh my God dude, it was bad all around.
Speaker 3:Yeah, if they had hung on to the damn ball and I'm not giving the it was like, oh, the Eagles punched it out. I'm like every team tries to punch it out. Just because you punch it out doesn't mean it of the ball. So in that scenario it's like if they had better players who could hold on to the ball. I don't, I still don't, I think. Now here's where I think jack's right, where they outplayed them. I still think they lose, but they don't lose by 30.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they might lose some sort of cheese it bowl at the uh sporting sports authority stadium. It's a you know ut UTEP versus Texas A&M or some shit. Cops versus firefighters.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was ugly and it was just bad football. And then even with the Chiefs, with their one turnover they had when Mahomes was trying to do one of that, what is it? The play-action thing where they put it in the running back's pocket and then pulls it out and the ball fumbled there Again, bad football. Execute that shit better. The bills didn't even do anything. They got the free ball and they got a touchdown. They got a touchdown off of that too.
Speaker 1:So it's like, oh god football, like why y'all get paid million dollars to do that and you're supposed to be the best, and that's why you're in the position you're in today yeah, I've, don't be wrong, I I've seen some good plays and I'll give credit when I see them.
Speaker 3:I was talking to my neighbor via text watching the games, and he was like, oh, the Mitchell guy, he got an Eagles, got an interception. I'm like, oh see, that's why he was that good. I'm like that good, all he did was sit back there, wait for a freaking overthrown ball. Don't be wrong, you still have to make a play on the ball. But it's not like he made anything. He didn't do anything. Fantastic, the ball is overthrown. Let me just sit here and wait for it to come back down to earth and catch it.
Speaker 3:That's not a good play to me. When you're Deion 30 years ago, when you got beat and then you cut across and put on those afterburners and sneak across the field and get a pick that way, okay, that's a good play. I'll give you credit for that. So, not everything is going to be like oh no, you didn't do anything, you did what you're supposed to. It's like, oh man, that'll, it'll segue us into tipping, because, god, that's starting to get on my nerves everybody with their damn at a tip when, oh, all I do is pick up my food, okay so, person, before we get into all the new shit, since, since you weren't here last week, captain Save-A-Ho over there hey she feels better now, although I ain't going to lie to you, she still got the cough.
Speaker 3:It's not good, but it's not bad either, better than last week, anyway.
Speaker 2:So that means you listened to it. I did. So what did you think? Because you've never listened to it except for the AI episodes.
Speaker 3:Correct. So what did you think? Cause you've never listened to it except for the AI episodes. Correct, that was my first time. I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Speaker 3:I'm not going to lie, I'm sitting there watching, cause I say watching, but I had it so, so I'm, I'm in here and I and I'm with her, we're on the couch. I, we had nothing. We can't think of anything Like okay, cool. So I couldn't find the video. Um, so on YouTube, so it was just the audio. And man, just like a black person at the movie theater, I was just yelling at the TV talking what they talk about, how they, how do they know? Not this, what do they know? No, I was just the whole time and halfway, no, not even half, it was almost over, so it was about the last 15, 20 minutes. I'm like shit. I should have taken notes. I should have, I think. During the cast itself, I texted Jack and was like because I was looking for the video and he helped me find it later, but I was going through like man, I should do a reaction video to our old podcast.
Speaker 3:I was going off.
Speaker 1:It's going to be our next channel off it's gonna be. Our next channel is gonna be for vaguely. Pod 2 is gonna be exclusively a lou reaction channel. Those motherfuckers are saying positive things about skeleton crew.
Speaker 3:That's unacceptable that that was one of them. Yep, you ain't lying dog. That was one of them. It was was like what did Jack say? Lose negative ass in here? I'm like man. They actually like that episode. These mofos right here. It wasn't even good. I mean, we don't even know what happened. The jot all that. I was like man. They left so much open. It was just.
Speaker 2:For a season two.
Speaker 3:They ain't got the numbers for a season two. They were less views than the acolyte, only the opening episode. They didn't say anything about the subsequent. Yeah, we'll see, and there'll be less than the acolyte. Now don't get me wrong. I don't think it deserves it. It was way better than the acolyte. I'll give him credit for that. It got better the last few episodes, but it still wasn't good.
Speaker 3:So it's like when the bar is so low and it's like man, was that that ad murphy thing? You know that it's as good, because it's been 30 damn days since you had a cookie or something. You know what I mean? It's. It's like you gotta, you gotta say all right, it's star wars, it's, it was okay, but um, I didn't, I didn't mind the way it ended all that much. It was just like okay. So what happens with john? What happens with this? Again, it's that same. I think we talked about it two episodes ago. It's like they assumed a second season so they didn't explain or wrap up. It's like okay, fine, do it in a cartoon, do it in other media, comic book, whatever. But I want to know what the hell happens From day one. I said I was curious.
Speaker 1:Well, and I don't even think it's like a job thing, I think it's even going to be more. Well, and I don't even think it's like a job thing, I think it's even going to be more. I was more interested in the how does a world that's been controlled by the supervisor for generations I'm just going to say generations and all of the robots that he controlled are now all gone. So you have this structure that you've built out that is now completely gone. Now you have the New republic coming in saying, hey, like the new republic now is aware of what this place is like, so I'm sure that they'll come and investigate.
Speaker 1:But, like you have a structure where you have this whole society of people who's used to being controlled by, or at least having certain aspects of their lives controlled by, the I'm going to say the government right, the robots. Now those robots are now gone, because it's not like the robots are coming back online afterwards, right? I would assume that once the supervisor's gone, that whole aspect of that world is now inert. So I would be even above and beyond Jod. I would be interested to see how the society responds to that and what they come up with yeah, no, I agree with you that that would be a good story as well.
Speaker 3:Just the aftermath of what happens and what becomes of them. Also the aftermath of the planet, with the new republic showing up and what happens with that planet. You've got nobody, nobody knows about this thing, and now they do. And now they've got so much money. Like what, what is?
Speaker 2:but is it even? Is it even worth it? I mean, they have three nine-volts full of money like that. Is it even worth anything now, that's the other side of that coin right. Maybe it was worth it when the kids had a handful, yeah, but now that they have almost 1,200 vaults and those are huge vaults? Yeah, they were. I mean, it's not even worth anything, but I think gold.
Speaker 1:I mean, the impression that I got too was that it was a mineral. So, depending on how rare that mineral is now versus you know, if it's gold, then you know it might be worth more or less based on the rest of the universe. But I'm sure that there's some aspects of the universe, the pirate, you know, the pirates, the bad guys, those types of things.
Speaker 1:Right, just to reiterate, I mean, like Lou, we, you know, when we were talking about it last week and I was like I'm so glad they didn't like shoehorn in, like Snoke showing up or Hux coming, off you know, or some like oh well, we had to tie it into the, we had to tie it into the whole thing, and you know all the movies and stuff like that which they've had a bad habit of doing as well. So I was glad that they that the only extent was, and even so far as the X-Wings not being Wolf Crapper and Carsten, it was just generic X-Wing pilot X, I think they handled it as well as they could have. So that's why I was more positive about it. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean, I guess I was okay with that as well as they could have. So that's, I think, why I was more positive about it. Yeah, I mean I, I guess I I was okay with that as well. It's just again more dumb shit. You know it's, it's. It's why. Why are you giving those people a chance to screw everything up? Uh, john, why are you giving those people a chance you win all that work to do this like, oh, I'm gonna give him a chance, I'm just kill him. It's like if you would have just killed him, everything would've been fine. And it's just like again it goes back to the Obi-Wan thing Stop doing dumb stuff. I just want to just want a movie where they they write it well enough, where they don't get put in that situation, no-transcript, and it's like okay, if that's what you don't want to deal their resistance more okay, he got a lightsaber and a blaster who just killed them all.
Speaker 3:Okay, okay, resist. There's only four of you I'm talking about. We're up there, just kill them all. Then that's what I'm saying. It's like all you had to do is don't write yourself into that corner, so you don't have to make that choice.
Speaker 1:But I also think that was reflective of a lot of these kids movies as well. Right, you look at Goonies, you look at Goonies, you look at ET, where the parents didn't necessarily believe the kids or know what the kids were up to. And then they get to the end and then they're like, oh, the kids are good, like, oh, our kids are good kids, and blah, blah, blah, and then the bad guys show up, and then now it's like all of them together have to do one final push to like and I'm not justifying what the skeleton group I'm talking about in the 80s movie skeleton group I'm talking about in the 80s movies yeah, that's how they were. So I felt like that was kind of what fit in with the theme, fit in with the theme that we've already had throughout the series yeah, I mean that's true.
Speaker 3:There was so much stupid, especially on that pleasure planet, that it's like, well, they've already gone down the road that they're okay with doing stupid things so and taking stupid actions, so we're going to keep doing that. At the end it's like like, oh, this is not what a real person, a real pirate, would have done, like they he's trying to do you. That's already one, duke. Look at that beard. That's two. I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't count bro.
Speaker 3:Oh well, shit, I say I don't, I don't from Pittsburgh, but yeah, like I said, it got better as it progressed, but it just still wasn't good, so whatever.
Speaker 2:It's like any of the Star Wars shows. I probably wouldn't go back and watch most of them, honestly.
Speaker 3:You know what? It's funny. I think the ones that stand out for sure that I'd go back and watch would be Andor, season 1, and Mando, season 1 and 2. That one's for sure I can say off the top of my head I would watch those.
Speaker 2:I'd watch Ahsoka again. I wouldn't be sad if I had to watch Ahsoka again, but it wasn't like like I told Duke last week, I'll probably just load up my Kindle with Andor Season 1 for the flight to Japan. Since it's coming out right after that, it'd be a good time to re-watch it.
Speaker 3:Oh May, that's a good time to re-watch it. Oh May, yeah, shit, that's a good idea, actually, that's a really good idea. Just catch up with them. The other thing, kind of a segue, but I didn't know there was a season two of the 1923 Yellowstone prequel.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I just saw that commercial earlier.
Speaker 3:yeah, yeah, and I didn't see the first season. So I was like, oh well, that season comes out in a month or whatever it is, so I'll watch season one leading up to that one. So that's just tied off of the Andor thing. I was like, oh, I didn't realize the timing worked out that well, well shit.
Speaker 2:Will.
Speaker 3:Daredevil be over by then. I mean Daredevil starts the early part of March on. Imagine it's.
Speaker 1:All I don't know how many episodes. I don't think Disney would allow them to overlap more than a week or two.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what was that one they did? That did overlap. Recently they did something where it was like Agatha and Acolyte, maybe.
Speaker 1:Maybe, I think it overlapped by like a week.
Speaker 3:That's all it was.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, it might have been two weeks, but I think it was only a week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but back to the point, jack. Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of that podcast. I'm sitting here, the whole thing. It was great. I had fun yelling at the TV man. It was one of these things where, if I missed it again for whatever reason, I would easily want to go back and watch it the next day.
Speaker 2:It was like that was too much fun. Well, I'll have you know, lou, that without you joining us, we went worldwide. We went to the United States, australia, japan, ukraine and France.
Speaker 3:It's because y'all talk politics is why, by not talking politics, the moment you say we're not talking politics, people are like man. But fine, I'll listen anyway. Don't worry y'all, we'll get to politics later, because I want to make fun of idiots.
Speaker 1:I like making fun of idiots before we move off the star wars tip. I'm just letting you know you owe me some money too, lou. While we were waiting, jack and I were on ebay and I found the 2020 badges for 100 bucks and I bought them and I was like god damn it. I would not have bought them if lou would have shown up at 9 o'clock because I wouldn't have been on eBay.
Speaker 3:I'd have been on eBay in a minute. What 2020 badges? There was no 2020 con.
Speaker 2:Canceled one.
Speaker 3:Oh, the canceled, they still did badges. Yeah, like the box set and everything. Yeah, oh, holy crap.
Speaker 1:That's not great, though, and they're probably some of the dopest ones as well.
Speaker 2:They are. It's probably my favorite set.
Speaker 3:I don't remember what that looked like. Let's see if I can find it.
Speaker 2:I think I still have.
Speaker 3:I was going to say, yeah, just have Duke pull up his.
Speaker 2:Right, just pull up your link.
Speaker 3:His witty bid.
Speaker 1:You're awesome.
Speaker 3:It's in chat I ain't going to lie, you got me.
Speaker 1:I don't remember what they look like. I mean, once you see them you'll be like oh, yeah, probably.
Speaker 3:Let's be real. Sorry people who are just listening on the podcast. Uh, you're not hearing. Lou is looking up the. It's not letting me.
Speaker 1:Never mind, it's not a link, I have to like copy paste type thing yeah, that's one of the weak things about this riverside app is that links don't show up as links whoa, those are badass, are badass.
Speaker 2:Yeah, here I texted you my Bad Batch one.
Speaker 3:That looks cool. I don't remember that at all, though I ain't gonna lie, I don't remember that.
Speaker 2:We didn't go, they probably sent you the badge and you put it in a box somewhere and called it a day.
Speaker 3:Yeah, probably that looks cool though. That was like 100 bucks, that's not 100 bucks, though that's not that year. It was probably because that's probably going price right at the time.
Speaker 1:The way yeah, I think they're usually like 70, 80 ish yeah, and then jack looked up the 2024 ones and was like oh, 300. And yeah 325 dollars. It's like nope 2024 three the last celebration oh, l London 23?. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:How much 325, dude I was like nope, I also don't know. I like some badges, but nope. Good Lord. And then obviously, I assume you guys will do this year's. Oh yeah, if we can it was badass. Yeah they got. I mean they did good with it, though you just yeah they got. I mean you just walk up when you go to the store, you can just preorder it right there.
Speaker 1:That's when they the last one we all went to Jack tried to order our sets and it was all weird Like, uh, yeah, the last, the last Anaheim one.
Speaker 2:I remember yeah.
Speaker 1:I had Lou do it, oh yeah, but there was something weird about it because I didn't get that set Really. Yeah, but there was something weird about the way you went and did yours, but they would only let you order one or something like that Interesting.
Speaker 3:I think you might be right. I think I remember that yeah it was some weirdness.
Speaker 2:It wasn't like it was before, where it was super straightforward that you just filled out a form and then Right, huh, that's all right, that was just the concept art kind of location ones. Anyways, you're not missing much, they're just okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I gotta admit, though, some of those look pretty good and I do, I mean, I do like that last one. That 2020-23 was kind of cool.
Speaker 2:Right but.
Speaker 1:I feel like the Japan ones are different.
Speaker 2:They sold out before they open up to public, like they put the online store for attendees first and they sold out before they put it up for everybody else. It'll just be a hole in my collection.
Speaker 3:As long as they don't mess with my pin collecting, we'll be all right. Mm-hmm, Especially I mean.
Speaker 2:I guess they're not going to ship them to us beforehand this time.
Speaker 3:They should have started that way now. Pick up onsite only. Yeah, that'd be interesting. I don't know if I like that.
Speaker 1:Oh, that'd be a nightmare.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what I was like.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I like potential nightmare for sure, man.
Speaker 3:I'm just, I'm just curious about like are we going to have to go back to the? We need to get in line four hours in the morning. This could be like an. Indianapolis type thing.
Speaker 2:How early does this train?
Speaker 3:run, not even Indianapolis, I suppose LA LA in 2007 was, I think, the one that was bad. It's like, okay, we got to get in line at four, they open at ten. I mean, is this going to be one of those things? Or, like we talked about last time, the crowd? We're not expecting, well, at least in the chat. Not expecting what 35,000 people. I think 30-ish is what we landed on probably, yeah, 30. So it's like that's not too terrible, that's a baby crowd.
Speaker 3:We also don't know how big the facility is, and all that.
Speaker 1:Buzz Light's one of the biggest ones in Tokyo. Okay, alright, but they might not have the whole thing. Like you remember, back in the day when Comic-Con wasn't the whole convention center, if you went the wrong way, all of a sudden you're in a dentist convention or some shit and you're like wait, what's this?
Speaker 3:Every year that I've been here to Denver's convention. Now it's Fan Expo Denver. I don't know if it's half or whatever, but part of the convention center is for some other convention going on also. They do a good job blocking it off. You know, you guys go down this way, you guys go this way. The whoever the other people are, they get to use the main entrance. We have to use the side entrance.
Speaker 2:But you're used to that though. Yeah, that's fact yeah, it's so.
Speaker 3:fact, especially now in today's world. It's like man people getting bold, all right, so we'll see. We'll see how it plays out. As always, the downside is it's only three days instead of four, so the first day. We always use the first day to figure stuff out and then we're good the rest of the way, but this time we're only going to be good for two days if we need one day to figure stuff out. So I'm like man. Nah, we'll figure it out it, we'll figure it out. It always works out for us.
Speaker 2:We always do just expectations.
Speaker 3:I didn't really follow a lot. I didn't understand what was going on with the autograph thing. What was the problem there? Where?
Speaker 1:I guess, official pics.
Speaker 2:Didn't change their currency to yen. So you know, you look at it, it's like 200,000 yen for an Pigs. Didn't change their currency to yen. So you know, you look at it, it's like 200,000 yen for an autograph, but they were charging $200,000.
Speaker 3:So everybody's paying cards like no sir, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:And then they came out and said oh sorry, sorry, our bad, our bad.
Speaker 2:We didn't tell the right people, we don't know.
Speaker 1:We've never done an international show before. We don't know how this works.
Speaker 3:Imagine if somebody had that limit on their card.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:Obviously they'll fix it, no big deal.
Speaker 2:I think it took them an hour or two to fix it.
Speaker 3:Well, that ain't nothing.
Speaker 1:But I mean, I think we were talking about prices in the chat, it was just kind of like $180 for Diego Luna. I don't know if that's good or bad.
Speaker 3:I don't know what he does normally.
Speaker 2:I don't think he does a lot of conventions, so I don't know what's that. He doesn't do a lot of conventions. I don't think he does a lot, no.
Speaker 3:Just trying to get price comparisons. Like out here at Denver, I know two years ago Hayden was $300, is 300. And I think Ewan was as well a year later or the year before. So if it's around 300 for the upper uppers, alright, I expect that 180 for Diego. I don't think that's terrible, I don't think I don't know.
Speaker 2:He's a big star in Mexico, like soap operas or some shit, I think. Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1:He's been in the scene for a minute.
Speaker 2:It was a big deal. When they cast him, all the Mexican people were like snap, that's my boy, diego, from my novellas.
Speaker 3:The way the Chinese people were all over the blind dude.
Speaker 2:Donnie Yen.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they were all over that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But Donnie Yen also had been doing movies here for a long time before.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, everyone knows, donnie, what is it? Ip man or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Those are good movies. I actually liked those.
Speaker 2:But anyway Did you finish creature commandos.
Speaker 3:I did, I finished it. You guys are talking about it and I did finish it. Uh, I enjoyed it. I liked the ending. I didn't like that. My fish girl man was sad you were, you had such high hopes for her.
Speaker 3:I did I really did. I was like man, that's my, that's my boo, but but bride or nina bride hashtag, save them and ah see, there y'all, I I would support that. Bring her back. She's not really dead. If the bride can live, just just do some same shit to bring her back. But but yeah, I liked at the end that she came back and saw through the BS and was like nah, nah, bitch, and took her out it was like all right, all right, I liked it.
Speaker 3:So yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of it. As a matter of fact, I got one of my coworkers to watch it and he finished it about a day or two after I did.
Speaker 2:My favorite scene, though, was when Phosphorus took his jacket off and he was fighting. All them tank dudes right through them middle finger burn right through their heads that was good, though that was good, and they all had good stories like their back stories when they went through all of them oh my god, they did it well.
Speaker 3:Um, they taught me the way it uh, it laced with the episodes that they were in. It was. It was fantastic. I feel so bad for weasel right man, but yeah, I really like. I'm like okay, when's season 2?
Speaker 1:let's do this we got a few movies to get through before we get to that, though yeah, for real.
Speaker 3:And I wonder how many of them, like in live action, are going to show up between Superman and Frank Grillo is going to be in Peacemaker okay, there you go, senior, so that's cool. But yeah, I want to see live action versions of these people Frank Grillo's going to be in. Peacemaker. Okay, there you go. Flags you uh, senior, yep, uh, so that's cool. But yeah, I want to see, I want to see live action versions of these people. Well, we've already seen Weasel.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, that's true, so we've already got a taste that one, that one sticks, that one sticks well, he started going in the water to save, uh, the fish girl.
Speaker 2:I was like you know, that boy can't swim, that boy can hardly walk there was a whole movie about that boy not swimming, oh man.
Speaker 3:So yeah, Imperfect memory of a movie, what?
Speaker 2:That's what Gunn said. Suicide Squad is not canon, it's more of an imperfect memory. So some of it did happen. Okay, some of it did not canon, it's more of an imperfect memory. So some of it did happen. Some of it did not happen Because, obviously, junior died. They talked about the starfish thing when they brought Weasel in.
Speaker 3:But how can only some of it work? If Peacemaker is in, if Peacemaker is in.
Speaker 2:That's why it's an imperfect memory.
Speaker 3:I was like you can't count, because you can't say some of it counted and some of it didn't. Did they talk about, Unless you say Peacemaker's out also?
Speaker 2:No Peacemaker is, except for the Justice League scene All right, that's fair.
Speaker 3:I mean, that makes sense that that has to go. But that scene was so good though that was so funny F you Barry.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. And Johnny is saying has said that the next opening is for season two is going to be even better than the first season. Damn, that's a high bar to set.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:That was probably one of the few shows I never hit Skip credits.
Speaker 3:Yep, what do y'all think of Momoa moving on from Aquaman to Lobo in the Supergirl movie? Way better, yeah, I thought that was fantastic Way more appropriate. I think, yeah, when I saw him the first time I was like man, he'd be a great Lobo. And here he is now finally doing it, 10 years later.
Speaker 1:Well, I thought he was originally supposed to be Lobo way back in the day, but then they never, developed Lobo, Like there was something. It was in the.
Speaker 2:It was in the pipeline.
Speaker 1:There's kind of a hack and he doesn't really yeah yeah, like they had the idea that they were going to do a lobo movie. I could be wrong about that, but I remember reading in my head, my head canon, at some point in the past. Momoa was supposed to be lobo at some point already and then it kind of like disappeared and then he became aquaman and everyone was like, okay, aquaman. And then yeah, so it's full circle type of thing. I will get roasted in the comments by our listener in france, right, no, you're a fucking moron. Great now I'm not only getting it during the podcast, I'm getting it after the podcast.
Speaker 3:For sure. I'm trying to think who would you cast currently as your Aquaman in Gun's universe?
Speaker 1:Hmm.
Speaker 3:I haven't really thought of this, fuck it. That's not funny. Oh my God, that would be so funny. The dude that played Arrow in Smallville, okay, no, that's in Smallville.
Speaker 1:Okay, no, that's not his name.
Speaker 3:That's Josh, something. I thought I thought his name was Josh Because he's in some other show right now. Yeah, he was on.
Speaker 1:This Is Us. You could go full circle and put Reacher back there, because he was the original Aquaman way back in the day. I think he was the original Aquaman in Smallville, right, smallville, yeah, and now he's.
Speaker 2:He's like you bring it all the way back. Go back to Entourage and put Adrian in there.
Speaker 3:Damn, that is going back though.
Speaker 1:And then Turtle can be his sidekick, yep.
Speaker 3:Johnny Drama comes in as Black Manta. It's done, that would be so funny. Black manta, it's done that would be so funny, oh my god hit us up.
Speaker 2:James gunn, we got where the idea.
Speaker 3:Men up in here, let's go, yep and then I heard also blue beetle is actually in, that that story is in.
Speaker 2:I'm like oh my god, it was kind of at the time, but james gunn hasn't mentioned it since, so so I think he for real just deleted everything he said, unless my name's on it, it's gone.
Speaker 3:All right, that's fine. I mean, I'm not going to say it was a bad movie, but it wasn't good.
Speaker 2:I think it would bring him back, though the same kid same basic.
Speaker 3:I had no problem with that movie, it was all right. Yeah, I was like they want to use him as the actor. Fine, Just who cares what. The kind of like that. What did you? What did you call it?
Speaker 2:Perfect memory.
Speaker 3:There you go, do that with blue beetle too, so we can keep him. Yeah, I thought the kid was fine and hopefully we're advanced now so we don't get all the oh, the origin crap on a lot of these. I mean, just based off a Superman trailer with all these people that are in it, you'd like to think they're going to skip all the origin crap. They're like okay, these people just exist and that's all there is to it. We know it.
Speaker 2:We know Batman's story.
Speaker 3:You want the origin?
Speaker 2:Go read the comic Our grandparents grew up with this shit. We've been told these stories multiple times, Even just through our lifetimes, with all the different versions we've gotten of Superman, especially Batman and getting to the point with Spider-Man.
Speaker 3:Do we have a Batman in the Gunn universe?
Speaker 2:No, he hasn't said yet.
Speaker 1:I mean we do because of Creature Commandos.
Speaker 2:but yeah, we don't know who's playing him. Yeah, they have not announced it.
Speaker 1:So who would you cast as Batman at this point, since we did Aquaman?
Speaker 3:Can we not use Twilight?
Speaker 1:No, he's in an alternate universe, he's in an multiverse right.
Speaker 3:Well then, they still could.
Speaker 2:No, they're going to have different openings for the not Gunverse versus the Gunverse, so you'll know which movie you're watching.
Speaker 3:No, what I mean, though, is like in a multiverse, the same character could still be.
Speaker 2:Well if they do that eventually, if they go to a multiverse eventually. Yeah, he could show up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm just saying he could still be their Batman, just in this universe, and it's not the same story of the other ones. Right, with that rationale they could pick any of them, but I don't know, would or should be in this one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm trying to think of Fuck it, he can be everybody.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't be mad about that, but I think he's too close to Pattinson like age-wise and just like their physique.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, we probably want a late 30s Batman.
Speaker 2:Older, like skewed older, like maybe something not quite Affleck, maybe a little younger.
Speaker 3:Well, affleck, maybe a little younger Affleck's, like 50-something, 10 years younger than that. It'd be good to go Like Jeremy Renner type. I think he's too little for it, but that type I don't know. Is Batman supposed to be six foot? I don't know.
Speaker 1:It depends on what era you want to put him in right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which Batman are you going for? Are you going for that big fucking yoked out Frank Miller Batman? But like older, yeah Right.
Speaker 3:I don't know, we'll see. Yeah, that'll be fun. I mean again, every time I see the Superman trailer it's like man that looks. I hope I.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're already lining up the movies to go watch on Comic-Con weekend.
Speaker 2:We got that. We got Fantastic Four. Everybody's at Comic-Con. We'll be the only ones at the movie theater.
Speaker 3:So yeah, y'all have fun. We'll spoil it for everybody when we show up, we'll be in line at any outdoor event. It's like, oh yeah, did you guys see I would talk about the movie the whole time?
Speaker 2:People around me La Two men murdered at Comic-Con for spoiling movies.
Speaker 3:Exactly Two jerk-offs were found dead after being caught.
Speaker 1:And the black guy was just yelling at them. No, you guys are wrong.
Speaker 3:Yep, it's like uh-uh.
Speaker 2:Really disturbing stuff in that movie.
Speaker 3:Dumbass. That was not a Hitler salute, but they did dumb shit in the movie. I'm sitting there trying to watch this movie and this is the dumb stuff that they did, and that was the end of it, and two suspects have been arrested. We expect them to go free, duke. So how was birthday my man? Is that part of the weekend trip?
Speaker 1:yeah, so it was good. Yeah, I mean, you know it was a new house, so it was getting used to a new situation and stuff.
Speaker 3:But it was good. I don't know what that means. Well we were in Airbnb Okay, gotcha, not the one you were in before.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the ones we were in before were down south. This one was up here, closer to that, Closer. So, and I mean again, it's Airbnb, so it has pluses and minuses.
Speaker 3:I've never done one, so tell me what's a minus of an Airbnb.
Speaker 1:A minus is that you have like an inconsistency with things like beds and stuff like that. Like an inconsistency with things like beds and stuff like that, and oftentimes like the layouts are really funky, because unless the house was built with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, like generally they're expansions, so like they'll start out like the one we we were in this weekend. It was like we kind of were like, okay, well, it's probably this probably started out as like a two-bedroom one half, one bathhouse, and then they expanded and added things onto it as money came in. Or you know, we had a bunch of jokes about the furniture all being the furniture that like when they could buy a new couch at the new, at their regular house, they just move the old couch to the airbnb house, type of thing. So you kind of get a lot of that type of stuff where it's a lot of second hand, unless they're using it as like a primary resident vacation house, right, like. But if they're, if it's a, if it's a group that's just using it just to make money, like they invested and maybe they plan on retiring there at some point.
Speaker 1:But like I was telling you know, when we were talking about it earlier, like they had this weird thing where, like the basement was finished but like the wall, where like the laundry room and the bathroom and the two bedrooms were, was just all barn doors that didn't fit the gaps of the doors. So like I'd close my door to go to bed at night and there was somebody out, you know, watching tv or had a light on or whatever, and it was like I might as well not even have the door closed because Cause the light was just, the gaps were so big that I was just like dang. So no privacy at all. Everybody saw everything I was doing the whole time. So you know, you just get to a certain point of saying, fine, this is just going to happen. So you're the one that's, you're the one that's coming to my door and looking in my doors.
Speaker 2:Dang.
Speaker 1:You want to see my Robin's?
Speaker 2:egg in the nest. That's fine, because it's cold up in this bitch.
Speaker 1:It was cold. That was the other thing. My room didn't have central heating or air, probably because of the expansions, but all the other bedrooms had not in-wall cadet heater, but they had, like, it hung on the wall and you'd plug it in. My room didn't. So I woke up every morning like it was fucking cold, man, like it was low 30s, high 20s, low 30s. Every night we were there and I'd wake up and be like, well, I need to get out of bed because my I'm sleeping on a fucking prison mattress right now, but it's fucking cold as shit too.
Speaker 3:So would you leave feedback to warn other people about this?
Speaker 1:yeah, I'm gonna. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna email the group and just say, hey, give me your, you know, give me your one to five stars, give me your. Would you stay here again and give me like two pros and two cons and I'll put it all together and post a review all right again, it wasn't terrible, but it could have been better, right Like there's, you know. But that's also the kind of the Airbnb experiences You're beholden a lot to what the purpose of the house is for the people who own it.
Speaker 1:Right, If it's a retirement house, they're probably not going to put a ton of money and time into it right now because they're probably just going to Not living there yet and time into it right now because they're probably not living there yet yeah, they don't live there yet, right, but if it's something where it's like a family house, maybe passed down, and they use it for holidays and they use it during the summer and they use it when it makes sense for that the house to wherever it's located, then there's going to be way more. The house that we were staying at in southern southwest o Oregon for the last two years, you could tell they did family events there. They had a 36-piece sectional wrapped around this giant Great Hall area with a big TV, you know like. So you could tell like they had done, taken the time to like make this a place that they wanted, that you would want to go to as a family, right.
Speaker 1:This one kind of seemed more like okay, well, it's like they're they probably got it for a good deal or inherited it from somebody and and hadn't either hadn't taken the time to go in and spend a bunch of money or were waiting until they were going to actually use it. So, yeah, so that's kind of the Airbnb thing. And again, of course, you know pictures say a thousand words or whatever, but sometimes those pictures are a little can be misleading.
Speaker 3:Fair enough, jack. Do you guys ever consider your other house Airbnb, keeping it and just not necessarily long-term rental, but just Airbnb short-term? They?
Speaker 2:are actually very frowned upon here. What Really? I think, your HOA has to approve it.
Speaker 3:That was my next thing. Actually, if the HOA doesn't have it in Nevada, because use of your home is not something that the HOA can regulate, unless it's already in the declarations- if it's already your declarations that you have to have a limit, then they can't make a rule for it.
Speaker 3:It has to be they can't be a rule in reg. It has to be actually in your declaration, ccnrs, that it's frowned upon and even then you can get around. It's like, oh, no less than 30 days. It's like, okay, make all your leases, all your Airbnb leases, 30 days and then just let people out of it if they only want to do four days.
Speaker 2:So there's ways around it, but county rules and all that stuff too. It's very hard to actually yeah, yeah, If it gets found out like the county gets involved and huge fines and stuff. But that's only for short-term rental, though, correct?
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, huge fines and stuff, but that's only for short-term rental, though, correct, yes, yeah, yeah. No, I could rent it out the other house, but not airbnb kind of stuff how?
Speaker 3:how do you know the limit, like third county limit 30 days. Some some will say, like I have some. Some did I manage out here where to avoid the whole airbnb? They just said you can't lease for less than six months. So it's like all right, but like I said, if it was me as long as it's not a county issue.
Speaker 3:If it's just an HOA issue, I'd be like okay, here's a six months lease, you're allowed to break it whenever you want, with no penalty. And then it was like okay, that'll cover it. It's like no, no, my tenant has a six months lease. They just didn't stay the whole six months, they stayed six days.
Speaker 1:No, with no penalty, no penalty. Yeah, I was fine with it. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I was like, I was fine, I still got paid.
Speaker 1:A lot of people. Somebody's moving in next Friday Weird.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it's so good, I'm so good at leasing that I can turn it around that quickly.
Speaker 2:I use this really cool website called Airbnb. People just sign up and it's crazy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, even though it's a six month lease, they still signed up anyway and there's people lined up waiting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right.
Speaker 3:If that person decides they want to bail and break the lease, somebody else is willing to do it if that happens to be next thursday at two o'clock yeah, it's crazy oh that would be wild man now, that would last like yeah, that's. That's one of those things that I haven't done, like the same as a uber lift for ride sharing, not not delivery of food, but I I haven't on my own.
Speaker 3:I don't be wrong. I've had a right. Somebody else had it and set it up and I was like, yeah, okay, fine, if you don't want to drive, I guess we'll do this, one of them. One of them was to a baseball game in denver and back, and the other one I can tell you exactly the two times the baseball game in Denver and back, and the other one. I can tell you exactly the two times the baseball game in Denver and back. The other one was after a holiday party downtown. We went from one spot to another and the vendor that was hosting and we went elsewhere got us all Uber to get us back to our cars where we originally parked. That's cool. Those are the only two times that I've ever used it. I don't have it on my. I don't intend to use it. I would rather take a bus, but that's a me thing. It's funny, though I'd be okay being a driver If I was an Uber Eats driver or something like that. I'm bored on a Friday night.
Speaker 2:I was thinking that the other night when we were at a new sushi spot, which was pretty good. It'll go in the rotation if other places are busy, but they just had a bunch of people coming in picking up delivery orders and stuff. I'm like I don't know if I'd like to do that, Just driving around in your car all night using gas money.
Speaker 1:How much money do you actually make doing that?
Speaker 3:That's the thing, right, I would need to run the numbers to see how worth it it is. Yeah, on one side I'm no longer bored. I got something to do tonight, even if I'm only making quote, unquote minimum wage whatever the state's minimum wage is. I mean in theory you'll make more. But let's just say, if only making $15 an hour, after gas and everything and your take home was $15 an hour, still might be worth it, better than sitting around sitting there playing my puzzle games all night for four hours. I just go Uber for four, Don't have to do it all night, just four hours.
Speaker 3:You know I'm going to pick six to 10 here in Boulder, in a college town where the kids are lazy and use up all their parents' money. So it's like okay, I think that might be okay. I don't think I do it in the winter. I in the side streets would be horrible and all that crap. But like getting back, getting back from Japan or something like that, and I got nothing to do on a Saturday night or whatever. I mean during the week probably not, but on a Friday Saturday I got nothing else to do. Why the hell not? It seems interesting. I don't know if I could do it be a driver. I like driving people, picking up food or whatever, because I guess now you can Uber anything you want. I want this from 7-Eleven. I'm like well, really you can Uber 7-Eleven. I learned that last week.
Speaker 1:You can Uber 7-Eleven. You can Uber the motherfucking movie theater. If you go into your movie theater, look for the rack next time, because there'll be people where they'll buy hot dogs, drinks, popcorn, because they'll be, having movie night at their house.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, that's a thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, go, look for next time you go to the theater look for a wire, look for the wire. Rack right the black wire. I've seen it, I've seen the right. That's what. That's what it's for, so that way you people can order their, their concessions to go and have their movie night at home. But they still want to have, they still want to have the popcorn and they still want to have all the bullshit without having to do any of the work the popcorn I get people.
Speaker 3:People really love their movie theater popcorn. I just thought that was the pre-order concessions when you bought your own movie ticket.
Speaker 1:Nope, that's going out somebody's house.
Speaker 3:That's crazy wow, I will pay attention to that next time I go I always find it.
Speaker 1:I found it funny, like a couple of the bars that I go to around here are like locals bars that have like shit food, but yeah, it's their local bars, so you're just like whatever, like we're here and even those motherfuckers would be doing door action. I'm like the last thing I'm gonna be doing when I'm sober is like oh, let me order some food maybe they're drunk at home and they're like bruh.
Speaker 2:Remember those cheese fries at that shitty bar? Yeah, exactly, we should order some of those.
Speaker 1:Let's get them and make sure they're cold, because by the time they get back to the house, that should but, but the peanut butter burger is really good.
Speaker 3:The dark horse here, that bar, I mean I could see. I mean I would just order it to go and go pick it up myself, because I don't see the point of paying an extra 12 to get your food, but whatever that's what it's still.
Speaker 1:It would still be in the rack, like that's where they would put it.
Speaker 3:So wow, that's crazy man. Although my ocds, I'd have all the bells and whistles, like I'd have the car heater bag thing to keep people's food warm and all that shit lou would actually spend more money getting set up to deliver food than he would ever actually make for sure, we won't even argue that that's 100%.
Speaker 2:He'd plan his routes so he'd stop at his house so he could swap out his ice packs.
Speaker 1:Lou would be like the P Diddy of gloves in his car because every single food delivery he'd switch gloves out. Before Lou was arrested he had a thousand boxes of rubber gloves in his trunk. He said it was for food delivery.
Speaker 1:we knew it was for murder right, I can't even defend this I will say I was pretty shocked earlier when we all agreed that this was going to be the most boring super bowl ever. When I when I think lou was like our jack was like ah, this super bowl is gonna suck, and lou was like I'm with you and I was like shit. I think all three of us are on the same page. What mark this on your calendar? Oh shit, like at 352 on on january 26th 2025, all three of these motherfuckers finally agreed on something man, the whole conversation just stopped.
Speaker 2:We had nothing else to talk about my phone actually just deleted the text.
Speaker 1:It was like nope, it's not gonna get any better than this.
Speaker 3:You guys are done it's like why is this locked out?
Speaker 1:I don't get it, my ai just was like nope man, you guys seen the spread yet for the symbol. I thought it was only like a point and a half or something.
Speaker 2:It's not something I saw espn popped up and up and said the T's were like 1.5 or something.
Speaker 1:How are you feeling, Leo? Last football game of the season Stop it.
Speaker 3:I'm kind of okay. It's like I get my Sundays back, you know, because that's how it's been for me from September to now. So I'll get next Sunday back, because who cares about the Pro Bowl, right? I'm assuming'll get next Sunday back, cause I don't. Who cares about the pro bowl, Right? I'm assuming that's next Sunday. I don't even know what it is. I don't watch it in 15 years, it is so. So I'll get an idea of what my Sundays will be like next, next week, but, and then Superbowl, and after that I'm free until September. So Maybe it'll be a go watch a matinee, if I'm not watching a brunch.
Speaker 3:So that actually I'm not going to lie, that actually may happen, I mean.
Speaker 3:I kind of miss my Golden Corral brunch, not because Golden Corral is great, it's just that I like the variety. Right, a brunch buffet is the best thing ever, because then you know how it is, we did it at Disney a month and a half ago. I just like a piece of bacon, a piece of sausage, a waffle, a pancake, a piece you know piece of French toast. I love the individual of just I, just I do it. I was at, I think I took myself to a Chinese buffet for lunch during work a couple of weeks ago and it was like I literally got one piece of broccoli and one piece of beef, or beef and broccoli, one piece of orange chicken.
Speaker 1:It was like one. It was like oh, I love this, I don't have to have a whole plate of this stuff. The mongolian mongolian grill guys love lou because he shows up with one noodle, one piece of meat, one broccoli, and he hands it over and just like a tiny splash of like the vinegar water and they're like okay, you're good. Like it literally takes 20 seconds to cook his pot.
Speaker 3:You forgot the one bean sprout, but that's better. One bean sprout, there you go the.
Speaker 2:ESPN has the Chiefs at minus two.
Speaker 3:Oh, it already moved up because it opened at one and a half. That means people are already betting the Chiefs.
Speaker 2:They said it's the first time the Chiefs have gone to the Super Bowl, not as the underdog.
Speaker 3:How are they underdogging?
Speaker 1:the other ones. What the hell, dude? You know, last week, lou, you weren't here for that, but the thing that, which game was it? Oh, it was the Philly. Who did Philly play last week? Philly played Detroit, right, yes?
Speaker 3:No, Detroit played Washington.
Speaker 1:So Philly played. It was a long time ago, it was the Rams, okay, and this motherfucker, in all of his fucking stupid-ass Eagles gear, has like a medallion on his chest. That's like we may be the underdogs, but it's us against the world. I'm like, motherfucker, you ain't the underdogs. What are you fucking talking about? Aren't we the underdogs? Like, yeah, fucking talking about?
Speaker 3:like you're we the underdogs, go you're the home team against the rams. Yeah, we're the number two seed, like you're like a four point favorite.
Speaker 1:This week you were a six point favorite, but it's us against the world you've been favored in most of the games that you've played this season, but you know we're the underdog. You know, guys, we're the underdog. You know guys, we're all. We're playing one to one to know this week.
Speaker 3:Want to know that's our goal, like no, I tell you what's funny, what some of the some of them, the magic boys. I'm going to discord chat with them. And back on December, I remember cause there was a meme that somebody put out. There was the Super Bowl, America wants to see Bills versus Detroit. And then the Super Bowl were somehow going to get Chiefs versus Eagles and it was like, wow, somebody put that out. December 11th.
Speaker 2:And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 3:That's what Goodell wants, man, although it was nice to see that people you know what Fucking Broncos fans still trying to say today's game the refs had something to do with the chiefs winning.
Speaker 2:It was like there was so many, there was any there wasn't anything.
Speaker 3:There were more bills. There were more bills, issues like there were two face masks that weren't even called on, the bills. But nobody's talking about that. All the the only thing that they're coming back to is that fourth down play where josh got stopped and it was close. I mean, if you called it like, replay is not going to help. If you called it first down, it would have stayed first down. If you called it short, it would have stayed short.
Speaker 3:But other than that, the people who cry about the chiefs, it's like did you actually watch the games? Do you know that they get screwed over too, like today today, but they still overcame and won. But again, I think for this game I'm rooting for the Chiefs, not because I want them to win so much, but mostly I want Eagles to lose and with the Chiefs winning, they get the added bonus of Broncos fans are mad. So that'll help me out All the shit talking that Chiefs fans out here can do to the Broncos fans. I love that concept. But really, though, if Buffalo had won, I'd be rooting for Buffalo, because I really hate the Eagles and the Ravens. I want no part of the Eagles winning anything ever. As a Giants fan. I just can't have it.
Speaker 1:As much as I don't want a three-peat, I'm with you. I would rather have the Eagles lose than I don't want the Chiefs to win. I would rather have the Eagles lose than yeah, I don't want the Chiefs to win.
Speaker 3:I want the Eagles to lose, absolutely. I'm rooting against the Eagles, not for the Chiefs, and, like I said, the bonus of doing that is I really like the idea, I really, really like the idea of Broncos fans crying. As soon as the game was over, I went to Twitter to look to see what the Broncos fans are saying.
Speaker 1:And we may have a friend that we're just waiting for the meltdown, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:That would be interesting, especially if they lose.
Speaker 1:In a way, that's just some kind of crazy shit yeah they do some stupid Philly Philly bullshit and it gets housed and taken back for six or some shit. And that's the difference in the game.
Speaker 3:Or they're trying to kick an extra point to go up by one or something to win the game, or tie it and it gets blocked and we turn back the other way for two or something, then they end up losing by three. Yeah, something like that would be crazy. Surprisingly, I actually know a lot of Eagle fans out here too. I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 2:Horribly far from there. It would make sense that some would migrate down that way. Yeah, you're going to get some of everything.
Speaker 3:Fly.
Speaker 1:Eagles fly south. Man Wait does that mean you're rooting for the Eagles?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'd rather see my homes lose.
Speaker 3:As a Raiders fan, I've got to imagine you're not rooting for the.
Speaker 2:Chiefs, fuck those guys.
Speaker 3:I think the whole idea of a three-peat though that hasn't happened. That'd be kind of cool. I wish it was my team, but it's not.
Speaker 1:You guys do anything for the Super Bowl, like, do you guys do anything as far as event or anything?
Speaker 3:No. There's a couple times where I went to Vegas, go get some frozen food and just pig out all day.
Speaker 2:Maybe I'll finally take down the Christmas tree, you know.
Speaker 1:Wait, did you just say take down the Christmas tree? A month later, you've been getting mail from the fucking HOA for the last two weeks.
Speaker 2:Take your tree down. Hey, I unplugged the Santa in the window. Okay, don't nobody know, the Christmas tree's still up.
Speaker 3:That wouldn't even be a violation. I don't think, Because it's in the window. If you don't have house lights out or house decorations, you're good.
Speaker 1:He don't have lights in front of his house either, so it's fine. That shit looked like a fucking murder house. Let me tell you yes, looks like.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, only appearances, only appearances. Out here, people leave their lights out past stock show because the rodeo, a national western, whatever it is, the stock show is out here in the middle of January or early January, whatever it is, and I don't know why it's a tradition, but it is that people don't take their lights down until after stock show. That people don't take their lights down until after stock show. And then for us as managers, if your guidelines get, if your paperwork says 15 or 30 days after the holiday, then you got to get your stuff down I'll write you a letter. I think it's dumb because most people know this thing in Colorado or Denver anyway, denver area.
Speaker 3:But yeah, so there's a lot of houses. I was on inspection on this week, on Thursday, and there's a lot of houses that still have their stuff up and I'm like I am not writing that up, I'm going to give myself all this extra work just for them to take it down over this weekend, because this weekend is when it ended. So I was like that is, by the time they got my letter after it mailed from some third-party system next week, it's like, yeah, we could go. Why am I getting this letter? So that's a standard out here.
Speaker 1:We've lived here for 15 years and we've gotten a letter every single fucking year. Literally that's. The only thing in my HOA packet is 15 letters saying please take your lights down.
Speaker 3:And here's the thing Out here now with the log chains a couple years ago, with compliance, they get 30 days to fix it, and if they don't fix it, they get 30 more days to fix it. And if they don't fix it, they get 30 more days to fix it.
Speaker 2:It's the dumbest thing. So they can have their lights up until fucking St Patrick's Day.
Speaker 3:Basically yeah. Yeah, we can't find them until after 60 days, when all is said and done. So it's like it's the dumbest thing, it's like look though Shit, that's almost April. Yeah, it'd be like March 25th or some shit.
Speaker 2:Dang February, oh you're right, because they have a month. Originally they have 90 days.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they would have 90 days to get it down, so it'd be middle of March. It would be middle of January to February. January to February is one, you're right. April, middle April, before they actually got fined. If we can't send a violation letter until mid-January no, it'd be mid-March Because they have 60 days. So they'd have, you're right, it'd be freaking St Patrick's before we'd actually be able to fine them. So some dumb shit, but it's whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 3:And they also changed another crazy thing where, if you used to be able to control the streets, they changed it. Now, where, if it's a city street, even though your declarations say that we have rights to monitor the streets and your vehicle's bad, we can do stuff? Not anymore. No, city street, city will take care of it. You have no say, even though your docs say you have, say it's like all right, although I'm okay with that one, that means less headache for me. This car is parked, call the city. This car is part Call the city, not my problem. I love that shit.
Speaker 2:City parking authority.
Speaker 3:So what else have we missed Since a week? Oh, we missed an inauguration. That's what we missed Four more years and then we'll move on. You know, it's like, whether you like them or hate them Four years and it's over, and it can't go any further than that. For the people who hate them, there's one plus. For the people who like them, you, there's one plus. For the people who like them you get four years of the country being okay before it goes to hell again when another Democrat takes over. So we'll see how it plays out.
Speaker 2:It'll be fun. The memes will be fun. That's all I'm here for, that's exactly it.
Speaker 3:It'll be entertaining at the very least, especially since this president can actually speak coherently Ish, which means yeah, which means he's going to speak, even though he shouldn't sometimes. So that's going to be hey, did you see what Dumbass said today? Because, like I said before, I think he's a tool as a person, but at least he puts the country first. That's the only really positive thing he has going for himself.
Speaker 2:As a human. He's opening for saturday night live. This week they brought lynn manuel back as hamilton, so they're just like signing the document of the declaration of independence and everything, and then trump comes out and everybody just freezes. He's going on and on. He's like one of the surprises. At my inauguration, melania showed up dressed as kung Lao from Mortal Kombat.
Speaker 3:Who'd they have playing Trump?
Speaker 1:I have no idea. The same guy. It's the same guy who's played Trump for like the last year. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, he does a good impression of him, the talking and the hands and Her outfit really was something else the fucking hamburger.
Speaker 3:Right Hamburger slash mafia hit me Like what was going on with that.
Speaker 1:No, was so, so he couldn't kiss her, that's smart did you see that when he like leaned in and like her hat, like his fucking head hit her hat oh no, he was like he was like, and then he like stopped and then went away and I don't know that's funny. He couldn't he couldn't actually like, he couldn't figure out how to like, lower his head to.
Speaker 3:He turned.
Speaker 1:Yeah right.
Speaker 2:If she wanted it, it could have happened.
Speaker 1:He could have taken the head off if she really wanted it, or she could have tilted her head. No, actually I think she leaned into it.
Speaker 3:She fucking she had a headbutt him with a spear, with the brim.
Speaker 1:My bad honey Like an odd job.
Speaker 3:That's also how she avoids giving blowjobs, just like yeah, no shit, I can't get that close.
Speaker 1:Honey, why are you wearing this hat to the inauguration? Usually you only wear it to bed.
Speaker 2:Why are you wearing your blowjob hat to out in public? That's weird.
Speaker 1:That's a strange choice, but okay, holy out in public.
Speaker 3:That's weird, that's a strange choice, but okay, holy shit, that's funny. Honestly, the only thing that's pissed me off this week is the whole Hitler thing. It's like you'd have to be really really stupid to think he was given a Hitler symbol. So it's like you people are really that desperate to look for anything you can. It's like you know when brothers were doing this thing and would do this.
Speaker 2:He extended his arm all the way out, though.
Speaker 3:Yes, he said would I give you my heart. They pointed it out to everybody. It wasn't this whole this, it was this. He put his hand out. It wasn't this. If he did that, no defense, no defense and somebody should have taken his ass. I don't lie, somebody should take his ass out if he did that, but it wasn't so. So people going all off about that, knowing that's not what he did it was, but he even said it is like I give you my heart. What if he didn't say that?
Speaker 2:I'm watching the video again. Dude, his hand is flat and up it's out like this look at it.
Speaker 3:No, I'm.
Speaker 2:Look at it. Nope, I'm looking at it.
Speaker 3:Are you telling me he does this Thumbs?
Speaker 2:in the whole thing. Yes, share the video. I already sent it to the group Killing me.
Speaker 3:I'll send it again. I don't have it.
Speaker 1:Hold on.
Speaker 3:AI.
Speaker 1:They did have a pretty good it's on his.
Speaker 1:Twitter. Jack, did you watch Weekend Update? Yet on SNL they had a really good. So the opening joke is they're talking about Trump's inauguration and the Bible that they had held out for him that he didn't use was the same one that Lincoln supposedly used. And then he was like, oh, it would be really interesting to see the two of them talk, because lincoln could share with him the whatever, the emancipation, you know, civil rights and stuff like that, and trump could tell him how to turn his head the correct way, like, and everyone was like whoa, and he's like what too soon never should have given you rights other than that it's going to be four years of entertainment.
Speaker 3:That's what it's going to be for you, as long as long as the country is better off, like the fact that people illegals are getting deported fantastic, keep doing it. You shouldn't, shouldn't have been here. You shouldn't have been allowed to stay here. All the crap that was going on, but that's just any. You would think any president would be on the side of that. Why? Why they're not? I don't't get it. I don't get why people want illegals here. You want to come here. See, that's racist.
Speaker 2:It is. It's very hypocrisy. They're like, oh no, slavery is bad. But those same people are like, well, who's going to pick the crops?
Speaker 3:It's like, wow, you said that. It was like the people who what was it? Dei or whatever diversity thing that was going on. It's like, oh man, I wish I'd come back to it next week or something like that. It was crazy a year or two ago. It was like, well, black people won't have a fair chance if you get rid of I don't know whatever. It was affirmative action. I think that's what it was when it went away two years ago.
Speaker 3:It was like, oh, black people won't have a fair chance. I'm like, oh, that's rude as hell. So you're saying black people only qualify because of affirmative action. It's like, damn, some white lady said it and got hammered as she should.
Speaker 3:Yeah, some white lady on cnn or something like that. It was like, oh, you can't like, no, just, and I'm I am glad dei is going away, you should be. And that that was racist as hell. Pick people based off of their qualifications, not because, oh hey, we need a gay person, a black person, an Hispanic person, like how about you need a person that?
Speaker 2:you have, says, the only black person at his office. There's two of us, so which one's the DEI hire?
Speaker 3:I'm half Spanish too, so they get to check off two boxes of my ass. You know what? Surprisingly, there's an Asian woman, two black people like three Hispanics.
Speaker 1:How many gays? Four, none, just one. He's on the podcast, right now with us.
Speaker 3:Get your letters right, dude, get your letters right.
Speaker 2:LG.
Speaker 3:Hello, hello, three Odd number.
Speaker 1:This is why he has a hard time accepting it. If it was LBG, He'd be like okay, I was like alright, own it, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're good now. You could even put the. Put the frickin' volume at six and I won't mind. But yeah, like I said, it's gonna be fun, it's gonna be. Just Just how bad it's gonna be, we'll find out. How good it's going to be, we'll find out. It's only been a week, people, so we'll see.
Speaker 2:That's about where I'm at. I hope everything the Democrats are scared of happens happens. But then also, I want everything. I just want to see the people that idolize him be super disappointed in him. I'd be all super disappointed in him, just because it's disgusting the way that people worship politicians right now. Yeah, it's disgusting. They work for us, they are our employees, but you're over here filleting them every time they're on tv.
Speaker 3:I just cannot stand that yeah, either side, I'm with you. It's just, it's the hypocrisy in politics the last I don 10 years plus. It's just like what the hell? But I'm with you. I kind of want to see the shit blow up. It's like that whole want to watch the world burn. It's like okay, I'm curious how that's all going to play out. I'm curious how this is going to happen.
Speaker 2:These are $10 a dozen now, so he's not doing what he told us he would do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's only been a week. You're right, he, if?
Speaker 3:he said he would do it in 24 hours if it's not fixed in a year, if the economy isn't fixed in a year, because that's what about? How long the realistic before an economy? Oh, everything trickles down. If it's just not fixed in a year, I'd be. I'd hope people start running their mouths like just, you said this. You said I want to, because I want to know what his answer is going to be. I want to know what excuse he's going to give because, like I keep saying, man, he's a, he's a jerk of a dude. But if I do like that, we're already putting America first. So get out of, get out of some of the like World Health Organization. We never should have been in it. You guys understand, like China is one of the biggest people in that they China is one of the biggest people in that they pay the least amount because they're considered a fledgling country.
Speaker 2:Still, and when it comes to the US, there's 30 million people there.
Speaker 3:I know that's the problem. That's what I mean. That's why stuff like that America is going to pay 500 million, but China has to pay like I don't know, 130 million or whatever.
Speaker 2:That's because we only pay them five cents a Funko Pop they make for us.
Speaker 1:But if official picks was running the Treasury of China, they'd be paying like $600 billion.
Speaker 3:That is true.
Speaker 1:Oh, we just lost him, listen to Luz Ball.
Speaker 2:We just lost him. Oh, we just lost him.
Speaker 1:Listen to Luz Balls. Government is invading our podcast and is muting. Lou, don't mute.
Speaker 3:Lou Right. Oh, that reminds me Speaking of government invasion, do you guys think? Not quite, but it reminded me of Snowden. Do you think he should be pardoned, with all these pardons that happen and everything?
Speaker 2:I mean he won't be. He's given pardons out to cop beaters and everything, so cop beaters.
Speaker 3:That's hilarious. I just I just thought people, when, when, when, when Biden was doing it because you know, you know the phrase right, you don't, you don't need a pardon if you're not guilty. And then all these pardons came out to the people that Biden pardoned preemptively and it was like I saw, like Wednesday, thursday, it came across the feed should Snowden be pardoned? I'm like, oh, that's a great question. I would say Trump had a chance to do it last time he didn't so right, right, exactly, I don't think yeah, I don't think he's going to change his tune on that right.
Speaker 1:I don't think there's no benefit for him to do that.
Speaker 2:Trump doesn't see a benefit to do that.
Speaker 1:If Trump doesn't see a benefit in doing it, he's not going to do it. If it's not going to benefit him directly, he's not going to do it. Then why did he pardon Lil Wayne last time? Because Lil Wayne was going to sing at his inauguration this time, but then Carrie Underwood said she'd do it for free. Did she really said she'd do it for free? So did she really?
Speaker 2:yeah, she did it for free because she thought it'd be clout, she'd get, she'd get clout and all she did was get dragged and she acted dumb about it wait.
Speaker 1:Oh, I didn't think people were gonna be upset okay was?
Speaker 3:was she normally on the left?
Speaker 1:well, no, she hadn't said anything either way. But then when she like, at least I don't, she might have said something in the past. I don't know, I just was paying attention to this current like her like, oh, I'm going to go to the inauguration and sing, and everyone's like, nah, you probably shouldn't do that. And she was like, well, I'm going to do it. And then she went and did it and then was like, oh, why is everyone mad? And I'm like, wait, where the fuck have you been? And number two, don't be upset about it. You chose to do this. There's consequences to your actions, regardless, right? We can all agree on that, especially if you're a popular entertainer.
Speaker 3:Take a side, you're getting screwed either way.
Speaker 1:Right, exactly.
Speaker 3:Although for her I don't think. Think there's the people who are going to have backlash, are people who don't listen to her anyway because she's a country artist, but she's a country artist.
Speaker 1:But my point is anyway but that's across the board, right, like you can always say well, not everyone listens to eminem, or not, you know? Like, yeah, you can go down the list on that. But I just hate like the I. I just hate the. Oh my stars and garters. I didn't know people were going to be upset. Where in the fuck have you been? That's a dumb statement. That is a dumb statement I didn't know. Why are people mad at me?
Speaker 3:Now it's like you got to understand people are mad at you. But you also understand that people are mad at you. You don't care about them.
Speaker 1:They're not your audience Right at you.
Speaker 3:You don't care about them, they're not your audience, right? But don't say but you're right.
Speaker 1:Don't say I didn't know people were gonna be mad at me that's a dumb ass statement, yeah but that shit happens all the time with those guys. Oh, I didn't know, people, if I did this like there was gonna be this backlash. How do you not, in this day and age, like it's just how? People are fucking reactionary about every single thing that happens, regardless of who you are and what you do? So if you have some sort of notoriety, regardless of the decision you make, right, whether the three of us agree with them or not, or one of us does, or two of us do, whatever like one, you know, I think we can say safely that out of the three of us, that one of us is going to be mad about something that we talk about. You know.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, yeah, just regardless of who it is.
Speaker 2:Wait, we don't agree on things. Hold on, hold on. I thought we had a good start today, except for 352.
Speaker 3:Let me check, except for 352 on 126.
Speaker 1:Nope, I can post stuff again. Nope, okay, we're good. We're good, we're back to, we can start texting again. We're good. My phone has unlocked itself the ai is like.
Speaker 3:Google heard me and was like yep, okay, we're back, we're back.
Speaker 1:They're disagreeing, unlock their phones but but yeah, the, the, uh, the like. Oh, I didn't know this was gonna happen. Come on, come on like yeah yeah, you can't say that you can't say say that Zero chance. I've watched a ton about the fucking Musk gaming stuff over the last two to three weeks.
Speaker 2:He hacked Diablo 4 to level up his character level.
Speaker 3:Oh, I thought he just had some third-party person playing it. Well, it's both.
Speaker 1:It's both right. Okay, All right.
Speaker 3:And then he cried about it Okay, so um, I think he cried about it.
Speaker 1:Well, he claimed he did it in Diablo four, but like nobody really paid attention to it at that time, cause Diablo four has been out for a while, Like it's been out long enough that.
Speaker 1:So then there was a new just a again nutshell for you. There was a game that came out called Path of Isolation 2. It's a great game. I've been playing a lot of it. A couple of people that I game with have been playing it, but it's a hard game. It's a challenging game. There's a lot of mechanics and a lot of how you build your character and that type of thing. It's not an easy game to figure out right. The scale for the experience goes like this and then once you get to like 65, it goes, and so like going from like 90 to 91 is like going from 1 to 80 as far as like the xp that you need, right, so it's, it goes up exponentially. So going above 90, you're investing hours and hours and hours into the game. Nobody's ever actually reached 100 before and these are people who are like streamers, who stream like 12 to 16 hours a day with the character and that type of thing.
Speaker 1:And a couple of weeks ago Musk went on X and streamed his level 97 character. Dusk went on X and streamed his level 97 character and there were multiple times throughout the stream where if you're at level 97, you've done these things hundreds of times to get to that point. The pattern of things that you do as far as when you get to the end game. It's the same pattern over and over again. For the most part he had no idea what he was doing at all when he was in the game. So like he logs into the game and he shows people his inventory and his inventory is completely full and everyone's like that's kind of weird. Like why is your inventory full? Like everyone knows, you dump your inventory so you have room to load your inventory back up, you know. And then there were things he was clicking on, things that he should have known as a level 97 per character, that you can't click on them because you have to do these other things. Before there was things he was leaving things on like it was.
Speaker 1:Obviously he hadn't played the game a lot. Clearly. Like he opened up his his tab. So the game has different tabs. You can put different stuff on, you can rename them, and one of the tabs said elon's maps. What it'd be like me making a map tab and calling it duke's maps. Well, I'm the only one playing the game, so why would I have to call it duke's maps, like it just doesn't? There was a lot of like issue. The issue was that he claimed he was the one that had done all of this work. Please.
Speaker 1:Please there's no way, and then people started. So then, once they found out what his name was, there's ways that you can kind of see when the person is playing. He was literally playing Diablo sorry Path of Exile 2, during the inauguration, when he was sitting in the White House or when he was at the Capitol and he was coming and and his character was being logged into from somewhere in asia. So there's trading in the game. People were sending him trade requests when he logged on and it was coming up all in chinese, which was what, because that's what the language was set to right, right and he's just like oh, did he, did he own it?
Speaker 3:did he accept like?
Speaker 1:he owned it in his like elon musk way, where he's like well, of course I did, everybody does, and you're like no, not everybody does, because that's a bannable thing. And if you're at level 90, you're not going to be bragging about boosting your character, right?
Speaker 3:like he, it's bannable to share an account was that?
Speaker 1:yeah, it's bannable to share an account, was that?
Speaker 3:yeah, it's banal to share an account, oh wow because that's called boosting.
Speaker 1:So like, if you're, if you're like a gamer, I could pay. I could pay you to play my character when I can't play it and then get the benefit and the rewards from it. Right, so that's why is that? Why that? Because it's just frowned upon, like it's just something that's in their tos, that you're not allowed to share accounts again, like the netflix and that type of thing, right, like all right.
Speaker 3:All right, yeah, I mean it's like I want my character to to max out and I don't want to do it on my own. It's like which again.
Speaker 1:But again, if you did it it would be fine, because nobody, nobody cares, right, it's like the eight people listening to the podcast and you're like, yeah, I boost my account, it doesn't matter. But when you're, when you have, when you're doing it for clout, because you want to, you want to be like guys. Guys, I'm just like you, like I'm one of you yeah, then you know what?
Speaker 1:I don't think I'd have an issue if he would just owned it like yeah, well, and that and that was what everybody was saying was like if he had just logged on with his level 12 character and he died a couple of times and he was like this is me learning how to play the game, that would have been way more Impressive, positive as far as like the feedback and how people looked at him. But he can't. His brain doesn't work that way. He can't do that. He has to be the best, it has to be the smartest in the room, and he has like and so there's no way he would ever be like here's my character. Oh, I died. No, no, no, he has like.
Speaker 1:There was a piece of gear that he had rolled and it was like 90% of it were like perfect rolls, like, and it was something that like you've gone through several hundred of this item to get these roles to show up in the right way, in the correct order, with the maximum amount of damage or health or whatever the attributes are, and it's like you don't get that by. Just like you have 12 kids, man, you're running multiple companies, you're stuck in the dick of the president, you don't have time to sit there and be playing a video game for 12 to 16 hours a day. Like where are you finding the time? And he finally owned it. But he did it in the Well, you know, I just did it because I'm so busy and so cool and so popular. You know that type of thing. And it's just like, dude, get over yourself, but he won't, because he's never had to, but yeah.
Speaker 1:I did see something about like I guess I guess popular gamers have blue check marks on twitter taken away because eli elon got mad well, one of the guys so one of the popular streamers said basically challenged him and said okay, elon, prove to me that this is your character and that you are the one that created him and got him to this point, and I will stream on X for free for a year. And he was like, well, no.
Speaker 3:And then, like shadow, banned him, basically yeah, yeah, that's the part that I yeah, he did somebody like he got. He got butthurt because he got called out and took away check marks and shadow banned or whatever it was like. I was like wow, that's some petty shit.
Speaker 1:But I mean, when it's your toy and Twitter's your toy, you're in your full rights to do that you know, I guess I'm not a fan. I'm not saying he's right, but I'm also saying like if you own it and that's how petty you want to be towards people, that's your right. Because you own it right, he can go somewhere else and post and do his thing if he wants. Everybody has that option.
Speaker 2:But then you can't turn around and say that Twitter is a haven for free speech.
Speaker 3:if you're doing that, Agreed that hypocrisy does not fly. Okay, that explains that. Appreciate the updates. I was like I saw a little bit of this.
Speaker 1:That's a very high level. I tried not to get too specific because there's a lot of nuance. There's stuff that unless you play the game, it wouldn't make any sense, so I tried to explain it. You dumbed it down.
Speaker 3:Well, we appreciate it yeah, I agree, thanks Down enough that I understood exactly what you're talking about and it's like, yeah, that's some bullshit, but yeah. So that's the thing I've kind of been following the last couple weeks. It's just been silly stuff. Jack, do you guys have any? Oh, actually you too. Duke, do you guys have any DEI crap at your work? That's required.
Speaker 1:I mean all of it, Because I'm part of a federal agency.
Speaker 2:No, we have a union, we don't. I don't play that game.
Speaker 1:If you're part of a federal agency, because not all of those, all of his executive orders don't make any sense, like they're just super broad and there's no specifics behind any of them. My work that I've gotten email communication from it's. Oftentimes I'll get one email that'll say one thing and then I'll get an email two days later saying not necessarily the exact opposite, but it'll be something else like oh well, we're gonna do this. Oh then, two days later, okay, well, we finally gotten a feedback from all these different lawyers, our upper management, whoever it is, and we've gotten clarity on how we're going to move forward. So there was like a lot of like. There was a lot of like um, what's the word? I can't think of the word right now, but it's like snap it is.
Speaker 1:I mean there's and a lot of emails. Like we know, there's a lot of lack of clarity and in the things that are being talked about and shared right now. So we're working our hardest to get you know, to figure out what this all means and how that's going to affect us going forward.
Speaker 2:I just like that. We're all women now, so yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh, I know, that part was funny. That part was I was like you, was like you, dumb ass. But that's what is. What is your personal? Why do you think?
Speaker 2:we have nipples Because we're all women at one point. We're all female at one point, greg Greg.
Speaker 1:I have nipples.
Speaker 3:Are you guys for or against DEI and racist.
Speaker 2:No, I just picked the best person.
Speaker 3:I'm just wondering who would be for DEI. What type of person would be for DEI and, if they are legit, the best person. I'm just wondering who would be for DEI, what type of person?
Speaker 2:would be for DEI. And, if they are legit, the right person, because you'd have to prove that you didn't hire this person because they're black, right. So I understand why people wanted it, but my problem is can you prove that Lou is better for this job than me or Duke?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, unlikely, I can barely. I just learned how to take a freaking, especially tech jobs. I bought my phone my new phone, my new old phone a week ago and it took me a whole week to figure out how to do a screenshot, because I don't have a button on the bottom anymore. Wow, I didn't know there was a top, all like. Why would you have to use a volume button along with the side button?
Speaker 1:that is dumb I think that though my opinion is that I think that the way it's implemented was not the correct way, but there should be something to help obfuscate people's prejudices, and that, while being a half measure didn't solve the problem, but it was something right, and because I'd read it when all that stuff was first being talked about, there was people who went and did a study on hiring practices and they did kind of a blind test where it was. Just they didn't actually know what the person looked like, or it was the it was. Here's their resume. Here's their answers to the questions.
Speaker 2:They didn't put their name on it, right?
Speaker 1:Because if Rose's name was Aaron, Well, no, but that was the thing. Managers viewed people when anything that could be race related or gender related or any of that type of stuff related, versus doing a typical hiring, and the anonymized hiring was way more diverse than the traditional hiring. So if that's, I feel like, if they could figure out a way to pick the best person, because that there's a there's a huge difference between picking the best person and picking the person that you think is the best. Does that, does that make sense? And I think that's where the problem comes in is that you have somebody like lou, who and again, I'm not your, your very on your heart, on your sleeve, you know exactly where you stand all the time, but there might be somebody who's hiring who might find that abrasive, right. And then somebody else comes in who's a white guy and, oh, it's like we're dapping up where you know. You walk in the door and you say, hey, what's?
Speaker 1:up mayonnaise, bro.
Speaker 2:Fuck right, exactly like, regardless of how much more experience you have, lou that I'm going on a man's date with this guy, right, fuck him, you know.
Speaker 1:And so so if there, if there was a way to anonymize it to make it so lou gets hired because he's the best candidate, then sure I would. I would 100 support that. So it's one of those things. I like the idea, but how it was implemented I don't think was the right way all right, that's fair so yeah, good explanation.
Speaker 3:I see I.
Speaker 2:I think I could get behind that but again, I'm white so I don't deal with that kind of shit, so I I don't know, but again, I've also yeah I go up, yeah, bet, and come back and tell me you don't deal with that.
Speaker 1:But I've also been hired for jobs in the past because of how I comported myself versus what was on my resume. So I've gotten jobs because I've come into the office and been how I've been, as opposed to them Because I've been told straight up they were like if we would have hired purely based on resumes, you wouldn't have been hired, because the person that you came in and were doing the second interview against had way more certifications, way more experience than you. But we thought you'd be a better fit we liked your beard, so Right.
Speaker 1:So, that's the challenge, right. The challenge, right is like is is, if you're being interviewed by a bunch of white people, they're going to view a white person as being somebody who maybe will fit in better than a black person or an Asian person or whoever, just based on the fact that we already have a commonality, and I think that's part of the that's. That's the problem that we need to overcome is that that it shouldn't be like and again there's assumptions being made right Like you're assuming you're hiring him because he's white, you're not hiring him because he's black, that there, there, we need to figure that out, and I don't think that's something that that's a generational thing, that's not something that we can fix Right.
Speaker 3:So yeah, for sure, for sure. And our, our industry is the same way. You get people. I've been doing it for blah, blah, blah. I've only been doing it for two years versus 10.
Speaker 1:It's like, yeah, but personality wise you fit this office better than the person who's been here longer, right. But then what is your personality right? Like you know, well, I like dick jokes.
Speaker 3:Okay, cool, you're hired, you know that happens, that happens Like it's like. Okay, you're not going to be butthurt over basic shit office talk, was it water? Cooler talk, whatever it's called.
Speaker 3:You're not going to get butthurt over that. Cool, you'll fit in because there's a lot of that in our industry. So if you're somebody who's uptight, you're not going to make it here in our industry. That's just how it is, and we're going to waste our time training you, knowing you're going to clash with everybody else because of personality types. And I get that Skill set. You could have the same skill set. If that's all things being equal, then after that it's a matter of a personality. Like when I interviewed, when I was an upper and had to interview people, I did not care about your resume. I didn't even look at it really, other than to find stuff that's not work related. I want to know what you did for fun. Like what kind of nerd are you or aren't?
Speaker 1:you? What days do you wear your blowjob?
Speaker 3:hat. Those things matter Exactly. That way, I know which days to work from home, it's like, okay, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1:I don't care what Trump says, we're still hybrid, because you keep wearing your blowjob hat on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and that's unacceptable.
Speaker 3:Not doing it. Not doing it, I'm going to say why is your belly sliced? She wore the hat today.
Speaker 1:It's like when you wake up sleeping on your pillow wrong and you get all the lines. You just come home and you just have the red line, all of your belly hair below your belly button is shaved.
Speaker 2:That's weird. How bad is it?
Speaker 3:it's Tuesday oh my god, that's so funny. Any excitement last weekend. What did I miss? I went to go see the Goonies always fun. Yeah, I've been at Forever since I've seen it, so that was kind of cool.
Speaker 1:And what did you think of the Goonies Lou?
Speaker 2:A lot of dumb shit, a lot of dumb, shit A lot of dumb shit in the Goonies.
Speaker 1:The parents showed up at the end and helped defeat the bad guys. It was really weird.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they were all like yay, glad to see you. It was like nah, I'm whooping your ass, joey.
Speaker 2:Pants didn't kill anybody when the kids were talking back to him. It was fucking dumb.
Speaker 3:Man backhand left and right. No, there's like notice there weren't any black children in that, because they would have got popped.
Speaker 2:Well, it took place in Oregon, so, oh wait, never mind.
Speaker 3:There's not black people there there, not in the 80s. Oregon in the 80s. Oregon in the 80s but yeah, it had been a long time since I'd seen that movie, so that was kind of cool. I was like, oh yeah, okay, that's kind of cool, but it was kind of funny when they were going down that slide. I'm just shaking my head and I'm like it's dumb.
Speaker 1:I already seen this shit.
Speaker 3:Right, and I was like it was dumb when I saw it two weeks ago too.
Speaker 1:A lot of the stuff that it didn't we're going to have to do a wellness check on Jack, right? I think it's just fireworks.
Speaker 2:I think.
Speaker 3:I think right, People still have fireworks this late. Calm down, man. You know, to the fucking tribal land.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's not legal right.
Speaker 1:Only certain kinds of On the tribal land it is.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, yeah, but out here it's like you can only have sparklers or something Shit. We don't even have that. You can't have sparklers either.
Speaker 1:But people still be lighting them off somehow.
Speaker 3:Yep, that's why that changed.
Speaker 1:It's crazy that people just break the law.
Speaker 2:It's weird, yeah, weird.
Speaker 1:Man, it's like there should be some sort of department that polices that stuff that'd be awesome if there was, but unfortunately I would much rather have those people deported, is all I'm saying. Right, let's deport the motherfuckers that light off fireworks like the illegals.
Speaker 3:90 of my problems I mean, I don't, I don't see a problem here with that, but but I'm. But I'm also the guy who believes you should murder everybody for every crime, or capital punishment for every crime, then you wouldn't have crime. Simple.
Speaker 2:Like you said, all you got to do is kill one.
Speaker 3:Yep, you didn't pick up after a dog Execution. I bet you everybody else picks up after their dog for their rest. Man, I need to own a planet or something, because that's what I would do.
Speaker 1:Hey Lou, you can just go occupy Mars.
Speaker 3:Oh, there you go there you go?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you and Elon can go out there.
Speaker 3:My heart goes out to you, mars. But seriously, I truly believe that shit. It's like the reason why people get away with so much stuff because the punishment isn't harsh enough. This is my fourth DUI. Your fourth DUI Are you kidding me? Your fourth how are you alive? After the first one? We should have just killed your ass Again. Nobody will be DUI if you kill them for doing it once.
Speaker 1:Wait DUI or DE Both them for doing it once. Wait DUI, or.
Speaker 3:DE Either one, yeah, yeah, not sure which is worse, but yeah, either one is fine. But yeah, I was like I would love to get into a debate with like just for obviously, just for fun, but like why would why?
Speaker 1:why would that not be Official? This is just, you know, two friends having a conversation.
Speaker 3:I know, I know too, I know too many lawyers it was. You know it was like let me throw some shit out there to make sure it's like. It's like slander and stuff. My opinion, that way you can't. You know, slander is kind of thrown out. The window.
Speaker 3:Nothing personal, right, but, but seriously, right, but seriously, what would be against? Why would that be a bad thing to prevent future crimes like that? Potentially, obviously, people would still do it, but you know the consequences. Like me, I absolutely will speed, even though I know the consequences. Right, tickets points, the whole thing. Like fine, I'll do it anyway. But you made the punishment high enough, I guarantee I'll do it anyway. But you made the punishment high enough, I guarantee I won't do it. It was like, oh wait, we're going to do this, this and this and this, or oh, we're going to kill you if you're caught going. 66 in a 65. Okay, cruise control, 65, it is no problem.
Speaker 2:Lou, you're black, they can kill you for driving anyways, yeah.
Speaker 3:That, yeah, that's. That's a good point, especially out here in in colorado, and I'd have to go down to the airport where there's actual black people, which is weird to me that there's more black people at the airport than any place else in colorado.
Speaker 1:It's like that's because they just that's where they get stuck. They just don't know where to go that might be man.
Speaker 3:It's that. What was that terminal?
Speaker 1:that terminal, yep yep, there's, there's just a hundred there's like a hundred tom Hanks' that are waiting for their connection.
Speaker 3:And now they all work there. It's like, well, screw it, we're going to work the window.
Speaker 1:I live here now.
Speaker 3:The overpriced McDonald's is now hired by all the staff. They'll get me on that rant overpriced Although some states got better about that and they can't have their prices higher than 10 of the next closest like, like wendy's, for example. So if the wendy's down here is regular price, theirs can't be more than 10. That I'm like. Okay, that's a good rule, because the fact that they gouge you at freaking airports is ridiculous.
Speaker 1:Portland, actually portland, they have a um, a rule that you, whatever price your average item is in the area is if you're a uh, so like. If you're like a start, like the starbucks in the airport, all the prices are the same as like the starbucks is in the area like the average price outside the airport.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, that see, that's cool, that's how it should be. I don't, I don't know why everybody's talking about. Oh, like when covet happened, people are gouging for what? Gloves and sanitizer and whatever it's like, but the airport's allowed to do it because you're limited. So it's like, why is that okay? But whatever, I mean, I'm sure we all do the same thing, right, we bring our own food and bring our or eat beforehand so we don't have to pay those prices.
Speaker 1:Except for Cinnabon. I always bring a can of stag chili and I just crack it open while I'm in the waiting area and then just eat it.
Speaker 3:The plane flight would be great at that point. Hell yeah, let that settle, that recycled air that I'm adding to Yep.
Speaker 1:It's healthy.
Speaker 3:It's fine.
Speaker 1:Beans are natural, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 2:The little things Time to say goodnight fellas. Yeah, Some of us got to work tomorrow.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 3:I got a good nap in, so I'll probably play some games.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you did, obviously you did.
Speaker 3:I got that nut nap. It happens, y'all know.
Speaker 1:Again. I think the first text I saw was Jack going stop clapping them cheeks and get online. I did Again. I think the first text I saw was Jack going stop clapping them cheeks and get online. I did clap them cheeks too. Let's be real, and I think I'll be honest.
Speaker 2:I think you guys were like Something is the hashtag for the episode now, clap them cheeks. Hashtag. Clap them, cheeks, clap them cheeks.
Speaker 1:No, it's a problem. Clap them cheeks and leave in streaks oh.
Speaker 3:I do.
Speaker 1:I got to wash sheets. Now, that's a good point. He's got to play video games and wash his sheets.
Speaker 3:Yeah, luckily I got two, I can cycle.
Speaker 1:I think what ended up happening is you guys probably asked in the text what time for the game and then you started talking about other stuff. So when I got to looking at the text, I was like, oh, there's 18 texts and I generally scroll to the bottom and you guys were talking about some random thing about the football game and I was like, oh, you guys are still talking about the game, Okay, cool. Like I didn't realize, at some point somebody said, hey, like what time do you want to start the podcast Twice?
Speaker 3:we asked.
Speaker 1:Wait hang on.
Speaker 3:Okay, hang on.
Speaker 1:This is after, and this is also with 36 texts of Jack going Lou Lou, mom, mommy, mama.
Speaker 3:Mom, I felt my shoulder getting tapped when I woke up.
Speaker 2:Well, I had to text her. I'm like, wake Lou up.
Speaker 3:Tell him it's time.
Speaker 1:And she tapped him with the blowjob. Hat Get up Lou, Okay, fine.
Speaker 3:Okay, fine, from what I understand, I didn't respond until 19 minutes later.
Speaker 1:so so you had time for two rounds, is what you're saying?
Speaker 3:I wish man I'm in that refractory period Right man, her jaw's going to fall off.
Speaker 1:And she's sick and you're not even giving her a break.
Speaker 3:And look throat issues. I'm trying to help smooth that out.
Speaker 2:Open it back up.
Speaker 3:I got your loctions right here.
Speaker 1:Leo, this doesn't taste like cherry. It tastes like underwear and bad decisions. It tastes like detergent.
Speaker 3:What do I make for dinner? What do I do for dinner? What do I do for dinner?
Speaker 2:Not pineapple, I'm sure.
Speaker 3:Pork, chop stuffing and green beans Thanksgiving dinner. This tastes like genocide.
Speaker 1:And dessert with spotted dick.
Speaker 3:No, it's one color Ew that's even worse.
Speaker 1:It's black, but it's not normal black.
Speaker 3:It's like it's like when you leave a banana.
Speaker 1:When you leave the banana on the roof of your car and it's a really hot day and you come back out after work. Somebody's got experience over there I just this is with the banana, that's all.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, god All right, I didn.
Speaker 1:I just this with the banana, that's all, oh yeah alright guys, have yourselves a good night. We will do it again next week we'll see y'all pre-superbowl.
