After a week off, we’re back… and so is Conor.

Bryan and Conor crack open Shiner Bock NA and Sierra Nevada Trail Pass and jump right back into the chaos like nothing ever happened.

We catch up on Conor’s new job (now working with Bryan), discuss just how safe we actually are at work (very), and then immediately derail into questions like:

  •  Would Insane Clown Posse be considered “woke” if they came out today? 
  •  Why does the MLB logo look… fluffy? (and who is Barry Sosa McGuire?) 
  •  Are the Royals City Connect uniforms actually good? (we think yes) 
  •  Did the military use an aggressive amount of starch back in the day? 

From there, things escalate:

  •  Could Bill have survived Kill Bill if he never took those five steps? 
  •  500 lbs of feathers vs bricks… but what about one 500 lb feather? 
  •  The birth of Super Condor vs Godzilla

We also talk LEGO Batman, the price of beer at MLB stadiums, and why Bryan might need to start watching more movies.

And somehow… it all ends with a surprisingly emotional moment around No Time to Die.

Back to chaos. Right where we left off.

I mean, because I talked to uh was talking to Miranda about it, and she's like, Yeah, I'm not sure about some of the stuff. And I'm like, all right, I'll get the Laganitas one because I'm like, I kind of need to anyway by chance. But then I was up at the price chopper uh by my house, and they had two other ones that were like discounted. They're like five bucks. I'm like, all right, for a six pack? Yeah, holy shit. So I bought uh the two different flavors. One of them's uh Sierra Nevada's. Oh, nice. Yeah, nice. I'm like, oh, I haven't tried that, so like it'll be worth like five bucks.

SPEAKER_01

This one tastes like shiner, man. Like, and I I love shiner. Yeah, and this this tastes like it.

SPEAKER_00

So I got a couple glasses there. You want to dive into it for us, sir?

SPEAKER_00

So if you want me to pour or you can go into details or whatever.

SPEAKER_01

Uh it's just it's Shinerbox and a version of their classic Shinerbock um out of Shiner, Texas.

SPEAKER_00

Can we get a few more shiners in there?

SPEAKER_01

Um the can is shinier than other cans.

SPEAKER_00

It's not a drab can.

SPEAKER_01

It's got that dog foodie.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, a little bit.

SPEAKER_01

I did see a reel earlier of a guy who cracked open a 25-year-old uh Sierra Nevada. Oh shit. It was like uh Christmas ale or something.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, their tradition ale? I yeah, I think that's what it was.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. And he's just like, yeah, it's it's not this color typically. Uh it smells like soy sauce and dog food.

SPEAKER_03

It smells like soy sauce.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, that would be accurate. Heavily oxidized. Uh yeah, I can't, I cannot drink this.

SPEAKER_00

It's so oxidized that the freaking paper has more flavor.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. Uh but yeah, it's it's it's good to be back, Brian. Good to see you, man. You as well, sir.

SPEAKER_00

So, what have you been up to?

SPEAKER_01

Uh, work. Uh-huh. Being productive around the house, playing video games. You got the ducks? We've got the ducks. They're uh they're a month old as of yesterday. Nice. This coming this coming Monday. As this releases, it will be three days from now on a Friday.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I might release this a little early.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, you you do you, boo. I will. Anyway, so this this episode will be launching on or I guess the the ducks will be five weeks old on the 27th. They can be outside after after five weeks, they're more or less fully grown. Yeah. Um, we got the ducks. Um, I got a new job. Your your J O B. I got a new J-O-B. Yeah. Uh thanks to you. You will. And partially thanks to you. I know. Mostly thanks to you.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I mean, I just put in a good word and I gave you the information.

SPEAKER_01

So we will uh once again be coworkers.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Unfortunately, I found out where you're going and you won't be in the same building. Uh but as the one that I did the tour of? No. You'll actually be at least starting off uh our Edgerton facility, which is like 10 miles down the road.

SPEAKER_01

But oh, I'm okay. Yeah. That'd have been nice to know from the get-go. I I don't know. I know but when are they gonna tell me this?

SPEAKER_00

When I show up on Monday? So no, uh, because you'll the first week you'll be in that building because you'll have a quick start. Okay. And then the quick start is you know, they go through a lot of the stuff that our stuff is.

SPEAKER_01

I'm freaking out because uh I was finishing up my my OSHA training stuff online. That one's hard, isn't it? It's it's not hard, it's just annoying. Yeah, that one is versus the general one. Well, I'm doing the 10-hour one, and it does not, it takes more than 10 hours. Yeah, that's a lie. I warned you. That's a lie. Like I'm I think I'm minimum 10. I think I'm nine and a half or eight and a half hours in, and I still have to complete 10 modules.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm just like, yeah, no, this is gonna be like a 12 or 13 hour course.

SPEAKER_00

I think it took me about 14.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's that's what I'm pacing, I think. And because I'm not doing the I'm doing the her her reading it through, not the fastest, but the second fastest. Yeah. And it's still like I'm hitting the the required time minimum for each module.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And I'm just like, I had a couple that I had to like go back and redo.

SPEAKER_01

I've only had to retake one like end of module test for the thrice time.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah. And those ones are the nerve-wracking ones when you get to it to for the third time, I'm like, Oh Jesus Christ, I better not miss a single freaking question.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I I got to a point where it's like, okay, if I can if I can miss two and then if I can get to the last one, I'm just like, fuck it. I don't care. Like, I just want to get done. If I if I fucking if I miss it, cool. I missed my three and I can pass.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Obviously, I'm try I'm not trying to do that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So like there's different levels of the OSHA 10. Um, and I'm kind of surprised that Nolan never actually made us or you being in the back do that.

SPEAKER_01

I'm surprised they didn't do that at Trans West either. It's very you know because I have to climb a fucking like 15-foot ladder to get on top of these things. Fair point. And there's no safety, there's no safety involved.

SPEAKER_00

Um, so like it there's different levels of the OSHA 10. There's actually OSHA 40 as well. Um and it's not even necessarily like there's four different OSHA tens, and it's not the OSHA 40 isn't necessarily even all four of those in one.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um so there's like a general one that a lot of people you have to take. The one for our work now is uh it's like a construction specific one, and it is way harder. Like I've been able to not pay attention to the general one and pass it. Well, I'm doing the construction one, yes, yeah. But the construction one is way harder.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, dude. It's it is intense. Some of this is like so it's such common sense, and a lot of it is like I'm never going to use this in this job.

SPEAKER_00

Oh no.

SPEAKER_01

So I have to, I those are the ones that I'm taking notes on.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Like when it comes to like digging trenches and shit, I'm just like, I'm never gonna dig a trench. But I need probably not, but I need to know, obviously, to be.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, because we do have trench stuff that we do, yeah, as on the production side of stuff, and if you go out to the field, no, clearly in our space, we don't have to worry about the trenching.

SPEAKER_01

But yeah, yeah. Well, I'm excited. I feel like I have a lot of questions that I don't think that our listeners are going want going to want to listen to.

SPEAKER_00

No, and we can download after we get, you know, I I can give you all the deets after we get done.

SPEAKER_01

But so Edgerton, huh?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Okay. It's right down the road. It's because I I have to make trips there usually almost once a day.

SPEAKER_01

So what's like what does that entail working there? It's gonna be the same stuff. It's just just in a different warehouse. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I know that we're actually already looking at getting a fourth and a fifth building.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they told me about the fourth and fifth across the street. Yep. Like a combined three million square feet is what they told me. Yep. How is that even possible? I can't even fathom that.

SPEAKER_00

Well, the two buildings are almost a million. That's insane, man. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh huh. Yeah, because the one I the the one that I did was what is that, 475,000 square feet? Just about, yeah. Something something like that, just like just shy of half.

SPEAKER_00

Because I actually mapped out on Google like our property, basically. Yeah. Like including concrete, like basically trying to figure out how much space I have I cover. And it was like 170, or it was like 1.75 million square feet. Wow. Because I cover a lot of the outside space as well.

SPEAKER_01

So does Connor work in your building?

SPEAKER_00

Uh no, he actually works at the other building.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, uh, okay.

SPEAKER_00

So he works at the West Building.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, the one that I went to.

SPEAKER_00

Or not West, the East Building, sorry. Yeah. He works for the what they call the North Crew. Yeah. So he does a lot of like heavy lifting type stuff too.

SPEAKER_01

And so is he like crane certified or what?

SPEAKER_00

Uh the gantry?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. The gantry crane. He got certified on. This is a great podcast. Uh that's a that's a fixed mobile, or that's that's fixed in a uh a work spot.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's like a crane, it's like a overhead crane, but it's doesn't move as much. And it only moves like and it's very slow.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It it it will lift a lot of weight though. Well what's what's funny is uh so that was coming up on two weeks ago when I went through that uh that walkthrough. And I I can't remember the the two other gentlemen that I w uh did my interview with both. Jace. I'm and so Jace uh was there at the end with me.

SPEAKER_00

So Jace and I actually did quick start together.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. Yeah. Uh so we're we're you know, we're getting towards the tail end. He's like, hey, do you want to go see like do you want to go see Packer and Brian? I'm just like, yeah, sure, why not? Uh and he's like, so I was looking through your resume. He's like, I saw you graduated from Shawnee Mission North in 2008. He's like, Do you have a brother named Nick? I'm like, Yes, I do. He's like, I went to high school with him in 2007. We took a math class with each other. Is this is he still a juggalo?

SPEAKER_00

Last time you were on, we talked about the whole juggalo thing. So you and your brother were juggalos. Of course we were, man.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you know, it's uh power and numbers, you know.

SPEAKER_00

Sure. I mean, granted, I I I couldn't really get my brother to be a juggalo because he was, you know, nine and a half years younger than I was.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just like, uh yeah, you know what? We we both were, you know, listening to the same music at the same time, and you know, we we've moved on from that now. And he's a chef, he doesn't really, you know, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

He's moved on. Can you imagine being a freaking being like a corporate chef type of person and then being in the background and then somebody you hear the door open every once in a while and it's like a great polenko or something?

SPEAKER_01

People be like, okay, who are we working for?

SPEAKER_00

Uh what's the hatchet song or whatever? Like uh you were like staff, staff, staff, staff.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's a lot of their songs.

SPEAKER_00

It's just about it's like it could be it was a fa uh a popular TikTok freaking uh audio clip for a little bit.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-oh, too much murder, here comes the popo. Oh, I feel like I know that song. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Um, I was just about to say something. Shenigans. About the insane clown posse. Uh so they're coming to Kansas City? They are that too. What is it, Truman? Yeah. Uh guess we're all be avoiding. I was telling Gina, uh, you know, during my my juggalo years as a as a troubled youth. Um and I'm just like, you know what, Gina? Like, if they made some of their music back then now, they they would be considered woke.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because a lot of their shit is like anti-racism, like anti-government, anti like police violence. Uh like there's and they're just like talking about killing cops and killing judges and like.

SPEAKER_00

Even NWA's like, you need guys need to tone it down.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they're like killing racists and shit. Like, that's that would be anti-woke now. Yeah. And I just think it's hilarious that like these guys that paint their face and throw, you know, Detroit-made uh soda pops at people back in the you know, in the yachts and the nineties.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, late 90s, because that's when I listened to it, was late nineties.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, because Malinko came out in 97 or 98. Yeah. Um, yeah, they're they're woke now.

SPEAKER_00

I mean it you either you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain, right?

SPEAKER_01

The woke clown posse. Not so much insane.

SPEAKER_00

The woke posse?

SPEAKER_01

The the W W P C. Wait.

SPEAKER_00

What the whap. Woke ass posse. I got that whap. Sorry, what? The woke ass posse.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

Hilarious.

SPEAKER_00

Oh man, I pulled that one right out of my ass.

SPEAKER_01

Alright. So uh what's new with you, man? Like we need to catch up the people, the folks, you know.

SPEAKER_00

I've been doing a lot of cornhole stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh you know, Jen and I on the last episode, you know, we talked about the whole, you know, going to Planet Comic-Con and doing all that. And it was a good time, though.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Uh I like that hat, dude. That's a cool ass hat.

SPEAKER_00

I'm trying to remember which one I'm wearing. Yeah. It's the this was what we went on the home opener day, too. I got the.

SPEAKER_01

Did you gave that away there? No. I bought it. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

Actually, here, this will be great for podcasts, but you should see the inside of it.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, dude, that's sick.

SPEAKER_00

Because it it's got, yeah, the little plaid on the inside, too. And then it's got the shamrock on the back?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. What did they I feel like they really fucked up the MLB logo on all these new hats now? Am I wrong? It does seem a little old. It seems ballooned, right? Kind of. There's really no display.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe they're doing it off Barry Sosa now. I don't know. Or Barry Bonds, not Barry Sosa. Hey, one and the same. Yeah, basically. Barry Sosa Maguire. Barry Sosa Maguire. First middle last. Yep. Um, I it cracks me out that actually didn't that logo. I keep thinking it's a beer. It does look like a beer. It does look like a beer, right? Yeah. Okay. That's a cool hat, man. I really dig it. They had some other really cool hats. That's cool. Uh that's one of the first fitted hats I've bought in a long time.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I try to stick away from the fitted hats. I try to. Because, you know, when I when I grow my hair out and then cut it, yeah, I have that. Yeah, you've got that problem. I have that problem too. I mean, it, you know, it's it's around the side, you know. You've got you've got the George Costanza.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Uh speaking of like the stuff, how do you feel about the City Connect stuff?

SPEAKER_01

I I don't know, man. I like it. I like I there's uh I think the jerseys are bland. The jersey I wish they weren't white, but I get it. Yeah. The jerseys are bland. I like I like the hats. And I've seen some dope, some of the dope ass jackets. Oh yeah. With like the like I think it's purple. Yeah. Or it pink or whatever, but I'm just like, yo, I'd wear the shit out of that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because I actually looked at getting some of the shirts too. Yeah. Like some of the railer shirt, like the purplish, whatever you want to call it, shirts.

SPEAKER_01

They have a uh it wasn't the like the purple to blue uh gradient hat, but they had another one.

SPEAKER_00

They have a couple others. If you go into the stores, yeah, yeah, because you can't find you don't really see them online.

SPEAKER_01

But I think they were all like flatbills, and I'm not really a flatbill guy. Like I can wear a flatbill hat, but I I have to do a little curvature.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And I I'm a flatbill kind of guy nowadays, where I used to not be, oh I thought flatbills were dumb.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I mean, they're I don't think flatbills will ever go away.

SPEAKER_00

No. But I mean, a lot of players play with their bills flat.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So I mean, it is what it is.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, I've got plenty of flatbill hats and I wear them.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But if I can, you know, like like this one, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Slight curve.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I'm fine with the slight curve, but like I actually try to put on one of my old hats that had like a big curve on it. I'm like, no, I can't. I feel like I'm wearing blinders.

SPEAKER_01

Like people who do that. Yeah, I feel like I was wearing blinders. I can't stand that.

SPEAKER_00

Like, I get the idea of having done that. And I mean, I used to do that. Me too. I too. I can't I can't anymore.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, as a kid in the 90s, I used to like that's all I did was just like, how can I get my building? Without breaking it? Yeah. Now I'm like trying to.

SPEAKER_00

Are we gonna do the spoiler thing? The ska thing?

SPEAKER_01

You know, I always wanted to do that, like break it in the middle, like that. And then how we're having curls up or whatever. Yeah. I don't know how they do that, man. Like, how do you how do you train your bill to do that? Starch? Really? Probably. I thought it was would you have to get it wet and then starch it? Possibly. I don't know. Because this is like cardboard essentially.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Um, and I only say that just because when I was in the military before they went to the digital camo, that you're not supposed to starch at all.

SPEAKER_01

Did you break it right in the middle like that?

SPEAKER_00

I didn't do that to my covers, but I know that a lot of people did that to their trousers or like the pants. Yeah. To the point where like sometimes you could get them so stiff, like they would stand up. Yeah. On their own. Yeah. I never got that ridiculous with it, but I had some that had a nice clean clean pleat. Yes. It was very flattering. It's the pleats. It's uh very flattering in the crotch region. Uh, because that was almost like it was like a point of contention of be like, oh yeah, like you should really fix those pants. Look at this pleat. I could cut freaking paper with it.

SPEAKER_01

I can shave my head with this pleat.

SPEAKER_00

It was just this weird flex that people.

SPEAKER_01

Hey man, each their own, you know?

SPEAKER_00

Like because I had two different covers or you know, hats, and one was my field one and one was my garrison one.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And every week or every night when I got done with drill, because I you know was just reservist, I would it had like I had an insert for it, and then it had like a metal can that I could set it on to that kept it all rigid. Yeah. And then, all right, next drill, we're we're doing garrison stuff. All right, take the can out, take the insert out, boop, and it just sat right like a glove. It did, and because then you're supposed to like put it to where like there's like a two-finger distance from your the bridge of your nose to the inside of the hat. So like that's how intense, like like this is how intense you look.

SPEAKER_01

God damn.

SPEAKER_00

Uh-huh. Can you imagine if that's like how hats were now if people wore oh, I I've tried to do that here with these hats, and it just it seems like freaking ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01

Cause I mean, it literally Well, I feel like that's how like uh, you know, we're talking about like baseball caps here.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I feel like that's how managers and like uh refs and umpires they're like way down here.

SPEAKER_00

Well, it's because the idea is it you know, like football players who have the visors trying not to see the eyes. Yeah, but it's just like you know, looking down and then like they'll look down like this and then like look up. Like I can see your chin right now.

SPEAKER_01

I can kind of see your eye.

SPEAKER_00

But barely, right? Just barely. Yeah. But I've weirded people out with my peripheral vision where people have tried to get me from the side. I'm just like, what's up?

SPEAKER_01

I can see you, yeah. I've got really good peripherals. Yeah, weird flex, but you know.

SPEAKER_00

It is a weird flex. Because I actually alarmed the I can still see my finger.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I can still see. If I like yeah, I'm holding up. I know I'm holding up two fingers, so I'm cheating.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I mean, I I know what how many fingers am I holding up? One? Fuck! I got it wrong.

SPEAKER_03

That was three.

SPEAKER_00

It's like, man, I tricked myself on that one. Oh, alrighty. Alright. You know what's coming up? And uh well, hold on. Let me do this a different way.

SPEAKER_01

A lot of things are.

SPEAKER_00

A lot of things are, yeah. You know what I recently watched? Oh, yes. Tell me. Kill Bill, the whole bloody affair.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, did you see it in theaters?

SPEAKER_00

No. I I bought the whole bloody affair. Oh, yeah, yeah. Uh you know, over four hours long. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It was a whole as it should have been in the first place.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, but you know, over four hours long. That's it's ridiculous. So, doing as my mind works, uh one of the first questions I had that I went to my assistant about, our assistant, was uh let me try and move down here a little bit. It was uh in the beginning, remember what happens?

SPEAKER_01

It's been so long since the first person she kills, right?

SPEAKER_00

Or the first person you see her kill on film, right? Is uh was it Copperhead? Okay, and then it was uh Vivica Fox. Yeah, she's like, I should have been black, mama, like you're not even black. But then she ends up killing her in front of her daughter, and so then she has this whole thing, and it's like, like, I'm sorry you had to see that when you grow up. If you still have feelings about it, come see me. So my question was how would that work? It's like she saw her mother, you know, it she wants the whole revenge thing. Traumatized her, that's how it worked, possibly, but at the same time, it's like, you know, how often do we see that story where, like, oh, I saw my parents? I mean, fucking the first Black Panther, right? Dude, you know, Killmonger saw his dad get killed. Yeah. And then so he went on this just, you know, lifelong freaking I mean, that's a villain uh backstory, you know, exactly. Yeah. So I mean, that's what we're getting into. So the core idea is Nikki grows up with one defining memory, watching her mother die in her own kitchen. And Beatrix literally tells her, if you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting. And she actually did say, if you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting. So that basically she invited her to be like, all right, when you grow up, like, come and try to kill me. Let's go. Alright. So it gave me a concept. Kill Bill, the next generation. Oh, okay. Yeah. So Nikki's path. She becomes highly trained, possibly self-taught or under a new master. Alright. Uh, and you so you've seen Kill Bill, though, right? It's been a long time. But you kind of have an idea. Yeah. Alright. So uh she's more controlled than the deadly Viper assassination squad. Okay. Yeah. Because it's kind of like a lone person versus a whole squad. Squad. Right. And then there's less emotion, but more focused. Right. She's not chaotic revenge, she's patient revenge. So kind of like Killmonger in Black Panther, right? Yeah. It's like once he kind of got up to that point, it's like, all right, I'll make my move.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So the twist is Nikki doesn't just go after Beatrix, right? Beatrix Kiddo was her name. Or the bride or mommy. Yeah. Uh, because I was actually, it was funny, I was looking at the IMDB, and I'm like, in the first movie, she's just referred to as the bride. The bride. Yeah. And then in the second movie, that's when they give her her name. Yeah. And it's like literally right at the beginning. And then the rest of it, she's just known as Beatrix. Yeah. So she studies Beatrix's past, her techniques, and goes with the Pie May lineage. Although she can't go to Pie May because Pie May was killed by uh Daryl Hanna's character. So she prepares specifically for her. Like that's her only goal. It's just going after Beatrix, right? But you know, you kind of get you gotta prove yourself going down the line, right? So the emotional core is Beatrix is now older, obviously, and possibly a mother raising BB, which you know you would think, because she killed Bill. Yeah. Spoilers. Whoa. Whoa! We'll get in we'll get into that here in a second. So now the foot roles are flipped. Beatrix is the parent being hunted, and Nikki is the child seeking revenge. It mirrors the exact situation Beatrix created. The big question is, does Beatrix fight her, refuse to fight, or accept us as karma?

SPEAKER_01

I don't know, man. I mean, you would think that she would be willing to die.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because I mean, uh, Bud, you know, Bill's brother or whatever, yeah, who's the one living out in the freaking mobile home, he pretty much accepted that. I mean, he tried to take her out still, yeah, but pretty much accepted that he's like, we deserve to die for what we did.

SPEAKER_01

But I think she'd be willing to die and put up a fight.

SPEAKER_00

So, and it says it says, because unlike Bill, Beatrix might not want to win.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Just to be like, finally.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So here's the different way. Says, uh, did Beatrix accidentally create her own sequel villain?

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely. Yeah, you killed, like, yeah, in front of their kid, for sure.

SPEAKER_00

So here's a potential debate. Nikki's justified, I think clearly. Uh-huh. Even though, yes, the mom tried to kill, or did kill, try to kill Beatrix, the bride, right? And apparently it didn't take. Yeah. Would she try to ally with Beatrix, though? Or would Beatrix try to later friend her? Showing her, like, hey, this is why I did what I did.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think there'd be an like some sort of ally ship going there, but if she like explained herself, then you know maybe she could prove that it was justified.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. So, here here's a little plot twist, though. What if Nikki tried to go after BB instead? Do we think that Beatrix is trying to train BB in the same ways? Because for all extensions and purposes, when Beatrix found out she was pregnant, she was basically ready to give that up instantly.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And you know, even to the point where like she convinced an assassin coming after her to walk away.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I don't know. I've never thought about this.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I have, because that's how my brain works. So moving on though, right at the end, you know, it's a very iconic scene, right? He's like, he taught you the five-finger, you know, uh, five-point palm exploding heart technique. Yeah. She's like, yeah, he did. And he's just like, of course he did. Right? So, part of that technique is what? Do you remember?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

Once you walk so many steps, your heart explodes. So my question was, what if he just never gets up?

SPEAKER_01

And his heart resets, or you know, I don't think it resets. Or but it, you know. The damage is done.

SPEAKER_00

The damage is done. He's in pain. Yeah. And that's what it basically, you know, we it came to the conclusion of it. It's a forgone conclusion. It's just a matter of how much time can you buy.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So, and it says, uh, it literally says, no, he's already dead just on a delay.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And it says what the technique actually does, quote unquote, in universe. Right. Right? So Paime's move is basically a strike that stops or slash ruptures the heart after a movement. Walking triggers it. So five steps equals death. And says, but the damage is already done.

SPEAKER_01

What if he walks backwards?

SPEAKER_00

Is he gaining steps? Yeah. It's a gaining steps. Because Jen was watching this with me. She's like, no, he already took a step. He turned around. I'm like, if you watch his feet, he never moved his feet. His feet were where they were at. He stood up and turned at the torso. What if he just scoots his feet for the rest of his life? Just like I didn't take a step. It's kind of like the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy thing. It's like the key to learning how to fly is throwing yourself at the ground and missing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So it's not the fall that kills you. Yeah, it's the impact.

SPEAKER_00

So it says, uh. So what if Bill just sat there? It's like, even if he doesn't take the five-step, his heart is already critically damaged. Which I mean, fair. Those were five finger punches.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like that wasn't light. It's not like you just like beep, boop, boop, boop, boop. Like entering a code. Yeah. You know, a cheat code, right? All right. So the blood flow slash rhythm. It's already crom home.

SPEAKER_01

You know what that actually worked?

SPEAKER_00

The funky town.

SPEAKER_01

One, two, three, four, five.

SPEAKER_00

You know what? Maybe you're on to something here.

SPEAKER_01

One, two, three, four, five.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe you're on to something here.

SPEAKER_01

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_00

Because I mean she had to do the whole three-inch punch thing, too. Yeah. Which that actually is proven because uh Bruce Lee basically proved it. Yeah, the one-inch punch. On television.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

unknown

Go.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And it's the idea is not pushing through. It's the tensing up at moment of impact. That's what gives it the greatest. And that's actually one of the things we were taught in the military too, as well. It's not like you don't need to telegraph your punch. Because honestly, if you're telegraphing it, you can counter that. Yeah. It's the making it look like you're going to do something, but it's at that moment, it doesn't look hard. Yeah. Hey, okay. Until um phrasing. It doesn't look like it's going to be a hard punch until shit. I just got my lights knocked out. Because you're tensing up right at the moment of impact, and that's what's doing the damage.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, you could attack someone with a feather. It's not going to do anything.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, feathers can be pretty nasty. I know. 500 pounds of feathers. What's bigger, right? 500 pounds of feather or 500 bricks.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00

Uh-huh. Who knows? You're drowning in some feathers.

SPEAKER_01

Who knows? No one can no one will ever know what's heavier.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I didn't say heavier. What's bigger?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, definitely the feathers. Yeah. Unless it's one big feather.

SPEAKER_00

Just like super condor?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Like a uh a dinosaur feather.

SPEAKER_00

I don't think that would even be 500 pounds.

SPEAKER_01

Let's go with supercondor then.

SPEAKER_00

Supercondor, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I like the sound of supercondor. That sounds like a good metal name.

SPEAKER_00

You know what? Supercondor versus Godzilla. Let's go!

SPEAKER_01

2035.

SPEAKER_00

Why that long? We got eight eye nowadays.

SPEAKER_01

There's gonna be a trailer by the end of the week. We need nine years to develop Super Condor.

SPEAKER_00

Supercondor. Uh did you see the report that apparently like they are starting to think that like the T-Rex possibly was feathered?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean, um birds are closer to dinosaurs than like alligators and shit.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, how many featherless birds have you seen?

SPEAKER_01

Not a lot. Not a lot, no. Unless it's, you know, a young unless it's inside of like a you know a package at Walmart, you know, like not a lot of featherless birds out there that I know of.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I mean, definitely makes it harder to fly.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I think so.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, even pig on like, this is some bullshit.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, even ducks. Some can fly. Domesticated ones, not so much.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because it only isn't like clipped at a certain spot to where it can be.

SPEAKER_01

No, they just like their wings are too small to support the weight of their body. Oh, really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know, like an African swallow?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. More like the European swallow.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, okay. Yeah. Which one's grabbing the coconut though?

SPEAKER_01

Uh it depends.

SPEAKER_00

Uh if it grabs it by the grabbed by the husk?

SPEAKER_01

Husk. Or if it uh ties it off with a string.

SPEAKER_00

Two two of them could carry a coconut.

SPEAKER_01

Couldn't be an African swallow.

SPEAKER_00

What is the airspeed velocity of a swallow? African or European? I don't know. There goes Tim.

SPEAKER_01

What is your favorite color?

SPEAKER_00

Blue. Wait, no! Green! Oh, geez. Yes, ask me the questions three. It was gonna be the same questions. Uh and then, of course, I had to share the money of the uh um the rabbit stuff for Easter as well. Oh, of course, yeah. Cause I mean, that's no rent normal rabbit. That thing's got a mean streak. Look at the bones. Look at the bones, sharp pointy teeth. Run away.

SPEAKER_01

It'll do you good.

SPEAKER_00

Uh I haven't watched that.

SPEAKER_01

Jesus Christ!

SPEAKER_00

Uh all right. So, going back to kill Bill. So the damage is done, right? And so this is the Tarantino logic. Bill chooses to walk. Clearly, we've seen the movie. Yeah, he could have scooted. Yeah, he could have crawled, and that's the point. He understands what's happened, he accepts defeat, and he maintains his dignity. Yeah, and I think that's ultimately the thing. He can just say, like, all right, I'm not moving. Not moving from this spot. Give me a wheelchair. Yeah, cheers.

SPEAKER_01

Scoot me along the way.

SPEAKER_00

But you gotta think, like, at some point he's gonna accidentally like move his leg.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. And then or like would this count? Like, if he like crossed a leg over step. You know, cross legal.

SPEAKER_00

No, I don't like that way. This way? Fuck no, I maybe uh and good. Such a simple such a simple mistake. Uh it's it's less about can he survive and more about how does he choose to die?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. No, I'd I'd go out on my own terms. Yeah. Yeah. I've got five steps. I'm gonna make those five steps count. I mean, as we should. Uh uh, but it doesn't mention skipping, because you can you can get a lot further skipping than you can walking.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you can skip to your loo, right?

SPEAKER_01

I think so. I I think that's what the battery called.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know who Lou is, but sure. It's the bathroom. Yeah, there.

SPEAKER_01

Sure. Skip to the loo, my darling.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Uh, you know what else we need to talk about?

SPEAKER_01

What's that?

SPEAKER_00

Batman. Oh, dude. Dude, the freaking game. I can't wait, man. I might actually end up taking a day off. Oh, yeah. Just to play it. Like, and I'm like, I may have done that like once in my lifetime.

SPEAKER_01

I've done that with like every major triple A game where I'm just like, I know I'm gonna spend at least at least eight hours on day one. I did it with Red Dead. I did it with GTA 5. I'll definitely do it with Batman and GTA 6. And then, you know, whenever Red Dead 3 comes out. Are they already teasing that? It's there, I think it's already in uh like pre-development.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Which means they've already gotten all the voice acting done. You know.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, do they really need to do or are they just rehashing a lot of stuff?

SPEAKER_01

No, I mean, uh I don't know what they would do for the third game other than so Red Dead 2 is a prequel to Red Dead. And I think that the antagonist in Red Dead 3 would be John Marston's son. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Because they're basically doing like the um Assassin's Creed stuff where like Black Flag, which was the fourth one, is actually before three.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And like there's the the original Red Dead Revolver on PlayStation 2 doesn't really have anything to do with the other two games. It's just the the uh I I learned this from Ellie a long time ago, actually, that the main character in Red Dead Revolver, his name is Red. And Ellie's like, oh, I haven't played the other two because he's not in the game. I'm like, Ellie, come on. Don't be that gay. That's a that's a that's a it's an absurd reason to not play two of the best video games in the past ten years.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I mean, I've not played them, but again, I haven't played a lot of video games in the last several years either. Like the last main thing, like I played a lot of it was like Far's uh Horizon, like four game.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_00

The European one.

SPEAKER_01

The one in the UK? Yeah. I think that was four. Yeah, I think it was four or five.

SPEAKER_00

So, like, so like I played a lot of that one, I just never finished that one. That's a great game, man. It really was a lot of fun, and I had made some pretty good progress on my old Xbox, but then my old Xbox, the HDMI, decided to crap out on me.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I made a huge I made so much uh I put so much time into that game on the X1S, right? Was that the one before the series? Yeah, the X1S. Yeah, the X Bone, as they called it. Xbone.

SPEAKER_00

There was something else I was trying to look up. Um but no, like I'm super excited to uh play that game, like because they're releasing a bunch more of the dev diary stuff, and just the whole mechanics of how the Batcave is going to work. Where literally it's almost like uh Batman begins where you discover the Bat Cave as just you like excavate it and make it a bit more. And then you literally excavate it, yeah, yeah, and then you can add stuff, and there's all sorts of things to unlock.

SPEAKER_01

We've we've talked about this outside of this podcast, but I think it might be the best Batman game ever made.

SPEAKER_00

I and I'm that's why I'm like, you know what? I might as well go ahead and take a day off. I mean, I got some I got a couple days I got a burn for PTO. Might as well use it. So I mean, other I mean, I could get paid for them, but I'm like, oh, you know, it's like two days, like, eh, I'll just use them for myself. That's what it's there for. Exactly. So we'll do a little we'll uh kind of finish off on a little, or maybe not finish off. I don't know. We'll see. Uh we're covering a lot of ground here. Um but as far as like the Batman stuff, I am super excited. There we are. Cheers, sir. Cheers.

SPEAKER_01

So what are we drinking this time? Uh this is Sierra Nevada's NA trail pass. It's a golden NA.

SPEAKER_00

This one smells better.

SPEAKER_01

Smells a lot better. I don't know if it's because this because like drinking this out of a can tastes great. So I haven't poured it into a glass yet.

SPEAKER_00

Well, that's like, you know, thinking about like Heineken, right? Or Heineken, like the bottle gave it its flavor. Yeah. And then once they started putting it in cans, everybody's like, this doesn't taste right. They literally engineered the skunk flavor into it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like what?

SPEAKER_01

Which is wild.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. This one's got uh good. I love that color. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh for NA. Like I'm telling you, man, like the shit the NA shit has made huge strides in the past just like three years.

SPEAKER_00

In yeah, in three years, uh, versus you know, like when we were kids, like you our parents tried you know, tried the whole oh duels. Oh, I'm not gonna drink, I'm gonna drink NA stuff. Oh duels was in the that was it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, this is pretty good. I like this. Yeah, that's I could I could see myself crushing one of these after doing some yard work. Yeah, but then still making it look like, hey, you know what? I'm I'm enjoying myself. Well, like I I've told this to Gina and so many people. I think that like having as much access to beer that I had at the brewery, it just became more of a like, I just want carbonation.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and that's why I've been drinking so much of the sparkling water. Yeah, say because it's more of a I just need that like I like the sensation, I like the mouthfeel. I need that carbonation now. Yeah, because even sometimes I'm like, oh man, that's like super carbonated.

SPEAKER_01

But like, yeah, I've got like water lose at home and other shit, but the so much of it is just like I just can't just drink regular ass water unless I absolutely have to.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Until they start carbonating Gatorade, you know. Give it time. Yeah, I'm sure there's a where there's a will, there's a way. Um yeah, I can't wait for this Batman game.

SPEAKER_00

Um I thought I had some other stuff saved, but now I'm not freaking out. I think it comes out what in like a we're like a month out. I think it's the 22nd. Uh, but it I think it comes out on like the 20th or 21st if you buy the deluxe one. I might buy the one. Which I'm gonna probably buy the deluxe one. I'm probably going to buy it. Um, the deluxe one is you get extra stuff, uh, including the Arkham Trilogy pack. Cool. Uh, I think that'll give you the Batman Beyond stuff as well.

SPEAKER_01

I was gonna say, I want the Batman Beyond stuff.

SPEAKER_00

That's why I said what I said, because I know you're you dig the Beyond.

SPEAKER_01

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um, and I bought that Lego uh logo. So now I have a code for the gold Batman.

SPEAKER_01

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_00

So I have to buy that to get the gold skin. Damn it. Yeah. Which I need to show that you've seen pictures of it, but you haven't seen it in No, I don't think I've seen it in person. You have not seen it in person yet. Uh so yeah, I'll dig it. I'll dig it out so you can see the thing. Um But then if you buy the deluxe in September, they're gonna have a mayhem pack where then you get to play as Harley and and or Joker.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. And it's because I know, like it's what? It's Batman, Robin, there's a seven, there's seven playable characters.

SPEAKER_00

So and for some reason the Taliagul. Yeah, that's fine. I understand whatever. Uh, but then like one of the things I just uh was watching on the dev diary is you can actually train up on stuff, so like even like the cats for Catwoman, yeah, yeah. Yes, but then you can train like train catwoman, like so they have like a tier um or like a uh learning tree type of thing. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Skill skill tree.

SPEAKER_00

Skill tree, thank you. Yeah, uh, to where like the cats can actually like within Catwoman, if you do certain parts of the skill tree, the cats actually get more sophisticated as well.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's cool.

SPEAKER_00

So then they're able to do more.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it's like that, you know, reminds me of the Arkham games where the skill tree for every little like device or thing that's part of it too. Yeah, yeah. It's they're just another weapon, you know.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So like there's certain like because I think they were showing like a one of the batarangs, like the different levels of like the batarang. I cannot wait.

SPEAKER_01

I cannot wait. And apparently Rocksteady's working on another Batman game.

SPEAKER_00

Really?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, allegedly. Allegedly, because they made one for I think like uh VR. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um but I think there's an Assassin's Creed one too.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but I think they're working on a like a another next gen uh Batman game, which like who's gonna voice Batman since it's not Kevin Conroy.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I mean Batman didn't or Kevin Conroy didn't voice this one.

SPEAKER_01

I know, and that's fine, but it's weird that like it was the same. The same guy that that did Batman and Joker. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_00

Which I I don't completely understand. And I don't really know who the guy is. Like he seems to be a less known comedic.

SPEAKER_01

He's done a lot of shit. He's done a lot of voices, but I'm just like, I couldn't I couldn't pinpoint you to a character or a video game that I've played.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Um, and again, most of mine is because I haven't played a lot of yeah, games in the last several years.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know why they didn't go for Will Arnett.

SPEAKER_00

I see in that it but it had to have been a money thing, which you're gonna make that money. Yeah, god damn. I think you probably would have you would have gotten more people to buy it just because it's Will Arnett. It was Will Arnett.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. If it was Will Arnett and Mark Hamill, oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

You weren't gonna get Mark Hamill though, because Mark Hamill said that he was done when Kevin Conroy passed.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh which I mean, you know what? Good on Hamill for doing that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you know, putting a line in the sand.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I mean, like, I can't do this. Yeah. I mean, we've discussed this before, too. Like, you know, if you want to go that route, like go to the next legacy, the newest legacy, I guess, which is Will Arnett and then who voice Joker.

SPEAKER_01

Who?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. Zach Galfinakis. Was it Zach Galfinakis? Yeah. In the in the Batman movie?

SPEAKER_01

Huh? The Lego Batman movie. Wow, it's been such a long time. I guess I need to go back and watch it. It's a good movie. It is a good movie. Uh huh.

SPEAKER_00

I made Jen watch it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

He's got nine, he's got nine abs.

SPEAKER_01

We uh we wanted to watch uh a couple nights ago. The The Road to El Dorado.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah?

SPEAKER_01

That's such a good movie, man. See, I know I never maybe I'm familiar with the story, but I've never really watched the Disney version. Well, and it's so it's not a Disney movie. Whatever. I think it's DreamWorks because I was just like, oh.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because it's out there with the shreks and uh freaking.

SPEAKER_01

So I searched Disney Plus and like, oh, it's not a Disney movie. That's too bad. It's a good movie. It's gotta be DreamWorks then. So we we opted for finding email.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I mean that's a good one too. I'm gonna touch the butt. Um Yeah, they'd only show us rent to buy on Prime, so I'm gonna guess DreamWorks then. Oh, Rosie Prez is in it. Uh Rosie Prez, I always remember her uh uh White Man Can't Jump. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Great movie. Uh what else did we watch in the past few weeks?

SPEAKER_00

Um have you have you guys been still trying to do the bad movies?

SPEAKER_01

No, we've just been doing oh no, we did a really god awfully bad movie, probably the worst movie we've ever watched, and I would never recommend it to anybody. Uh we watched it on Easter. Uh it was called Beaster Day. Beaster Day? Beaster Day. It's like this like rabid rabbit, but it's like so low quality. Oh, jeez. It's so bad. Um, I think their budget for the film was like$15,000. It's it's it's we almost turned it off.

SPEAKER_00

Oh man, that good, huh?

SPEAKER_01

It was so rough to watch. Uh, and then we followed that up last week with just a fucking classic movie, uh, the fifth element. I love it. Because we're just like, we need we need a palette cleanser, a movie that we all like. But it also has some plot points where you're just like, okay. Um, like when he like when they, you know, uh select him as the winner and and shoe him off. He gets to the he gets to the cruise and he has all this luggage with him. And we're just like, who packed his luggage? Like who packed Corbin's luggage? Nobody knows. Apparently they did. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Because it'll remember one, he's like, it's like, reject your mail, could be important. Could be important. You're a winner. Do you rig this? Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01

And then she'll be your wife. I am not going. And then at the end, you know, like it's just like really small details when when Corbin and uh Leloo are, you know, bumping uglies. They're uh they need they need about uh five minutes. Uh like his mom is on the phone to make it. Like you're not the you're not you're not the president. The president sounds like an idiot. Nobody hangs up, they just keep passing the phone around to this poor, like, I'm assuming she's a Jewish mom, just based on how she's complaining. Oh yeah, the nagging. Like, she's like a like a Jewish New Yorker mom.

SPEAKER_00

Uh funny thing about uh Fifth Element, you know who Finger is?

SPEAKER_01

No one knows who Finger is. He's not credited. But you know who the voice of Finger is? We're trying to figure this out. Vin Diesel. Was it really? Uh-huh. Because everyone's just like, oh, it's just a friend of of you know, no, we and his mom isn't credited either. The voice of his mom.

SPEAKER_00

That one I don't know. But like I've re I've seen it a couple times now. It's Vin Diesel. They say it's Finn Vin Diesel, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Weird. So did he do it for free then if he's not credited? Fuck if I know. That's such a cat's apparently he didn't get his SAG uh credit for it. Yeah, we were trying to figure that out when like all the credits were rolling. We're just like, wait, Finger isn't credited, and his the voice of the mom isn't credited. That one would be in the We're just like, I wonder if it's really his mom.

SPEAKER_00

It's him just with his nasally voice. That line is great though, especially when you look at who plays the president. It's like the president's an idiot, and you don't sound like an idiot.

SPEAKER_01

Well, so uh another funny little factoid that we're just we were like, holy shit, really. So I mean, clearly he's you know, he's not the president of the United States, but uh the the uh the world or whatever. Yeah, but first uh black actor to play the president. Oh, really? Yeah. Huh. And then it's Morgan Freeman.

SPEAKER_00

Debo made it first. Uh speaking of that, did you see um the Rams? Yeah, the Rams thing. Yeah, with uh Terry Cruz is pretty good at it, though. With Chris Tucker's kid and uh Ice Cube's kid, yeah, yeah. Junior.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I'm like fucking O'Shea Jackson.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, Tucker looks more like Tucker than Tucker did.

SPEAKER_01

He's he sounds more like like Chris Tucker than O'Shea sounded like uh Ice Cube.

SPEAKER_00

Because I mean Chris Tucker in Fifth Element is how I remember most of him, but then when you go and watch him in Friday, it's like, god damn, he looks so much younger. Yeah, but then now the kid looks much more like him than in that whole Friday spoof thing for the Rams.

SPEAKER_01

Carbandellas. Super green. God, it's such a good movie, man.

SPEAKER_00

It's one of my favorites.

SPEAKER_01

That's what one of my Froms is the fifth element. We are also like uh, you know, at the end when they're you know figuring out, like, oh, we need all the elements to activate the stones, and the last one is fire, right? Anybody got a match?

SPEAKER_00

I got a match, I got it.

SPEAKER_01

Why does he like stop queen? Why does he light the match so high above the stone and then bring it down? I think I get it. Like I get it's for dramatic effect, but like you you light it and then boom, you you put it right there. And also, there's no way that he was that he was sweating that much. That he would just be able to wring out a whole thing. Not a chance.

SPEAKER_00

And couldn't you just like hockey that thing? Yeah, for real. Just spit on that shit. Like, uh, water?

SPEAKER_01

They were in the desert, so I don't know. Maybe he was, you know. A little parched. Yeah. Maybe he had some uh dry mouth or whatever.

SPEAKER_00

You know, I need to go back to that and be like, I could I could figure out all sorts of stuff to feed to uh and then uh also how did they how did they get the stones inside of uh the diva?

SPEAKER_01

Did she just eat them?

SPEAKER_00

Like You know what? That is a fair question because she was not No one knew she was not a big lady, like she was tall, yes. Tall, yes, but like like where are they hiding those things? Because those stones were not small.

SPEAKER_01

They're like the size of a brick or they were bigger! Yeah, those things were huge. So yeah, how did they how did she there's plot holes for sure? Yeah, she's an alien, whatever. Maybe she showed up her alien sphincter. I don't know. I don't know how it works. I'm not even she's just keistering them.

SPEAKER_00

Keistering the stones.

SPEAKER_01

You think she has a keister? Uh who knows? Does she poop? I don't know. What color is that?

unknown

I think.

SPEAKER_01

She was all blue, right? She's all blue on the inside. Yeah, on the inside too. Yeah. Like with her blue little house and her blue little window.

unknown

I can't think.

SPEAKER_00

Good pull. Uh no, I've had a couple other movie things like that lately too, where like even like uh I watched uh I had something I was working on with uh James Bond as well, because I finally got through all the bonds. Oh, nice. Uh and uh it came out in 21, so spoilers if you haven't watched it, uh, but it's that he dies. Yeah. In the last one, I'm like, that one caught me off guard. Which one was that again to remind me of? Uh Die Another Day? Die Another Day. Yeah. And or was it Die Another Day?

SPEAKER_01

No, that's that's Pierce Brosnan, right?

SPEAKER_00

It was. Um No Time to Die. Sorry, that was the last one. Right, yeah. I'm like watching it, and then all of a sudden it happened. I'm just like, like, I was at a moment.

SPEAKER_01

I'm like, do we know who the next bond is yet? We've talked about this a handful of time.

SPEAKER_00

We haven't talked about it. Um, and that was one of the things I've kind of considered going to our assistant for as well. Is like, hey, like, you know, just basically getting run down instead of trying to do all this loot internet sleuthing. I ain't got time for that. Um, because you know, when I'm at work, my phone never stops ringing. And when I'm at home, I'm busy doing other stuff.

SPEAKER_01

So do I get a walkie-talkie at work?

SPEAKER_00

You will, yes.

SPEAKER_01

Hell yeah, let's go.

SPEAKER_00

The little radio things that we have. Let's go. And those radios are pretty cool because they work on cellular. Cool. And you get like literally, I've called people at the Edgerton building. Yeah. Like directly on those walkies.

SPEAKER_01

Sick. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And they're called like a relay. Yeah. But they're pretty nice.

SPEAKER_01

Man, I'm I'm telling you, man, I think this is the move.

SPEAKER_00

No, it'll be good for you. And I mean, even if you like don't like that facility, like positions are always opening up. Yeah. You can apply for other positions. And that's like when I went back, like I had applied for other positions, didn't get accepted for them. So then I went ahead and just applied for a material handle position. And once something opened up, I applied for it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And so what what's what's your position?

SPEAKER_00

So I'm called I'm a dock coordinator now. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Uh see, and I'm just like, I figured you I I feel like I remember you saying like you coordinate like drivers and yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So I do the outside coordination. So there's technically two coordinators. One then since November, we've kind of changed where we have a person outside who's me, yeah, because I have a better understanding of where everybody needs to go, yeah, and like who to talk to when things show up that nobody has any freaking clue about. Yeah. And then we have an inside guy who takes care of like all the emails and scheduling out the trucks and stuff like that. Okay. And then so I check a lot of them in and then get them directed. I take all the phone calls or most of the phone calls. And what does Packer do?

SPEAKER_01

Uh what is he trying to buy me for?

SPEAKER_00

Uh so he is the receiving lead for the West building. Okay. And so there's multiple groups, like, you know, uh within the receiving team. So there's inventory, uh, you know, there's just straight receiving stuff. Uh there's you know what they call a combon system. So basically, they have little cards, they fill the cards every so often, and then they run them out to the launch the production areas and refill the totes. Okay. And that's well, like we actually had a guy that was doing that, and he's getting ready, he just got accepted into the apprentice program. Oh, cool. And so, like, like Connor was.

SPEAKER_01

So that would be that was the one where just like you need to refill all these screws and shit. Like, people need these refilled at all times, right? Basically, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, Yeah, I could do.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah. So, and that's what he wanted to try and pull you for. Yeah. Or like, you know, even I think even the whole receiving thing, you would have been great for as well. Yeah. Because it's a lot of it's like you have to pay attention to details and make sure, like, sometimes they send us the wrong stuff. And if numbers don't line up, you gotta point it out and be like, hey, this ain't right. Yeah. So uh, but yeah, you'll get trained on all sorts of equipment too.

SPEAKER_01

Hell yeah, man.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, properly trained on a forklift. Yeah, what a concept to not run off a driveway.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, man. I was unintended for the first time. Dad was away.

SPEAKER_00

In my defense, I was left unsupervised. Uh, considering that isn't even uh that forklift at the brewery might be a what they would call a 5k. Okay. So basically it'll lift 5,000 pounds. Yeah. Uh a lot of the forklifts that get used where we're at, uh there's a well, they're more like a 6k, but there's a lot of 10k use. Uh, we even have some that are 15s. Jesus. Uh we have uh a thing called a combi lift, so it's almost like a forklift, but it will drive sideways so it's able to pick up long loads. Oh, yeah, and then drive lengthwise with that load.

SPEAKER_03

Whoa.

SPEAKER_00

Uh we have one that is uh 22,000 pound rated. Jesus Christ. And then uh in the last few months we've gotten things called a Versa lift. So it looks like a big slow ass forklift, but sometimes when it has super long and thick forks on it, yeah, uh, that will pick up like potentially up to upwards of a hundred thousand pounds. But then what it does is it it its back end will stretch out so that way it doesn't teeter.

SPEAKER_01

So it's like the counterbalance. The counterbalance, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So like the counterbalance part will stretch out so it doesn't tip.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, whoa.

SPEAKER_00

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01

I can't wait to be certified in all these crazy shit.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because I'm not even certified in a lot of that stuff. Like, I'm you got the forklift certified certified. Um now, like in your training, and we'll get into this afterwards. Yeah. Um, so I do want to finish off on, and this is kind of be a sport-ish thing, but uh, because I need to get back to you know doing chaos index as well. Um where to go, where to go, here we go. And so this might be a good time that you're you're not doing you're doing the sober thing. Because have you seen the price of beer at for MLB ballparks?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

So I have a list that says price of beer at every MLB ballpark. Do you want to take the guess of what uh price or what royals are?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, what are we does it say like a 20-ounce?

SPEAKER_00

Um, it doesn't, but I'm gonna guess like a can based off of like a small can? I'm just gonna say uh or maybe a draft, like a 12-ounce draft.

SPEAKER_01

17 bucks.

SPEAKER_00

Not that high.

SPEAKER_01

$12.50.

SPEAKER_00

Still not that high.

SPEAKER_01

Eight bucks?

SPEAKER_00

That's why I'm saying like a 12, it must be like a 12-ounce draft.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I mean, they I know they have like you can find a 12-ounce can spot for like$5 a can.

SPEAKER_00

So they do have so Kansas City has$514. Yeah. Um, is and that's not the lowest. The lowest? You want to take a guess? At where or how much? Where? Let's go with where because that'll probably be easier. Oh. Unless you want to try to go how much?

SPEAKER_01

Let's say that it's the Rockies.

SPEAKER_00

It is the Rockies. Do you want to try to take a guess on price? Uh 350. Little high. You're you're gonna save you some money. 308. Wow. So uh next is uh the next lowest then is Toronto, 456. Okay. Yeah. So now let's go on the opposite side of things. That's most expensive. So you want to try and take a guess on it's gotta be the Yankees. Uh Yankees are actually like right in the middle. Really? Yes. At 617. The Dodgers? I'm just thinking big markets. Yeah, Dodgers actually are only uh 719. They are basically right in the middle as well. Is it a coastal team or is it a uh let's go with uh coastal more east. Actually, the top two are some of your further east teams. Uh Miami. Not quite, but uh actually Miami is only uh 514. So Boston. Boston's up there, they're number four. Who the fuck is it the Nationals? It is the Nationals are number one. Oh my god. You want to take a guess? For Boston. It is in the teens.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna say 1525.

SPEAKER_00

Really close. 1540. Oh uh so yeah, Boston was fourth, 1079. Wow. Uh and then the Cubs is right after them at 1078. Wow. So rounding out the top two, and this one baffles me. So there's Baltimore, which is 1129. Okay. This is the one that baffles me. The White Sox.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, why are they so expensive? They suck. I guess it's just Chicago. So I guess 1079.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god. So like they are a penny. It's like the price of a ticket. At Chicago, probably. It's like what like yeah, like we'll go to all the games, but we ain't drinking there. It's expense, it's it's cost more to drink than it is to get in. Yeah. Uh the Angels are only 462. Wow. I know I'm like surprising. That is really surprising.

SPEAKER_01

You know, being, you know, these kind of cheaper than Kansas City.

SPEAKER_00

It really is. I there's actually, let me see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight teams that are cheaper than Kansas City. Wow. Uh, and then so, and then actually the Guardians are the same price. Uh, and then the twins are a penny cheaper. So, and then Detroit, then rounding out, is a little bit higher at$5.44. That's not bad. No. That's not bad at all. Like, I don't know what I'm buying because it don't it, I feel like I'm always paying.

SPEAKER_01

I'm I guess I'm buying one of the big cans. Well, I usually would just go to the the cheapo stand and get two five ounce or two five dollar twelve ounce cans of Miller Light.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Just yeah. I can't remember which section it is, but they also have like two dollar hot dogs and like two dollar nachos and shit.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And I mean, like, I don't get to go a lot, so I went to the we we got some nice beats.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I got Jen a nice little hat too. It was an expensive day.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, it is. Those days are always expensive.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, and I even buy our hats were even discounted because uh they do military discount.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, no shit. Oh yeah. You have to show an ID. I did. Damn it. I mean, you can always try. That guy just be like, uh military discount? Yeah. Oh, I left it at home.

SPEAKER_00

You left your ID at home?

SPEAKER_01

Yep. Yep. But trust me, uh, go ignore this beer in my hand. Yeah, go go army? I don't know. What should I say here?

SPEAKER_00

So and I know like Jen and I, we talked about like like honestly, like maybe we just try to figure out our own little thing. Yeah, and we have like our own little fun little podcast, you know. It was a fun listen. It it was a fun record as well. Yeah, yeah. So and she did really well, and I told her. And uh and I and I said like people are like, Oh, you are so good at like you know, you know, doing the stuff. I'm like, I told her, I'm like a lot of it, like not trying to toot my own horn, but like, okay, I've been doing this a little bit long enough where I'm able to help guide guide. Yeah, yeah. She's like, Yeah, I noticed that. And I'm just like, I'm like, you still, you know, did well, though I just helped guide you in that general area. I I wasn't trying to feed you everything. Yeah, like she had the information and she was very talkative and uh you know did her thing, did it great, did what she did. I I did have to tell her she brought her food down. I'm like, you're not eating on the mic, you're not eating. Don't eat on the mics. She's like, Oh, I didn't even think about that. I'm like, it's fine, it's fine. Uh but it was a good record. I enjoyed it, and it's actually gotten quite a few downloads as well. That's awesome. For some reason, in the last few weeks, our downloads have spiked. Maybe because people miss us. Maybe, I don't know. I don't know. But I'm like, fuck him, I need to be getting after it. Yeah. Because I mean, like all, like almost like all the episodes, we've had spikes in them. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01
