Speaker 2: 1:21

Okay.

Speaker 2: 1:23

I'm not going to call it all that, whatever, whatever. Okay, yes, I went to Disney. I was there for like a week. I did a four-day pass, pretty much. It was really fun. I haven't been since I was probably 10 or 12. I first went to Magic Kingdom, spent most of my day in there, I stayed until like closing and watched like the firework show, which isn't something that I've done before, but it is really pretty. I have like tons of pictures and stuff of it on my socials. Um, yeah, and then I think third, no, tuesday, I went to magic. No, I didn't go to magic. I went to animal kingdom, um, and to see like all the animals and that was pretty yeah, it was pretty nifty um pretty nifty, I'm not a bit like animal person.

Speaker 1: 2:36

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 2:36

So like.

Speaker 1: 2:38

Call the animals. Nifty is crazy. I just I don't like animals like that Like.

Speaker 2: 2:43

I'm not like ooh ah, when I see animals.

Speaker 1: 2:46

No, that's so crazy. They were nifty. Look at that giraffe. That giraffe is nifty. You see that long neck.

Speaker 2: 2:55

That's crazy anyway, um, but yeah, that was fun. And then we that wednesday I went to epcot and I went to um hollywood studios and that was, that was fun too. Um, I've never been to hollywood, and that was fun too. I've never been to Hollywood Studios. That was an interesting experience.

Speaker 1: 3:22

Is that a new thing?

Speaker 2: 3:23

No, it's just another one of their parts. I'm not sure how long that part's been around. To be honest, I did bring back stuff these mini ears, of course, and then, yeah, stuff like these uh, these many ears, of course. And then I have jack skillington like many ears too. Um, they had a tron jacket and if you know me, I love it. I did get it oh okay, good shit I did get it. Uh, it does light up nice.

Speaker 1: 3:54

I I tron is. I love tron. I like the original, but the one that came out like years ago, the newest one I love that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that one, wait, wait wait, wait, no, no, they came out with two trons within, like the 2000 right, you mean the show and the movie. The movie. I'm talking about the movie with. What's that dude's name?

Speaker 2: 4:21

Damn, I know who you're talking about.

Speaker 1: 4:23

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 4:26

There's supposed to be coming out with another Tron, I think next year or sometime soon, yeah, so I'm excited about that. I want to see how it goes. I was supposed to watch it, as I got my coat and I was like yeah, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna watch tron. Um, that didn't happen. I still have yet to watch it, but I've seen it like a thousand or one time and that soundtrack's like probably like one of my favorite soundtracks because it's made by that punk did that.

Speaker 2: 4:51

Yeah, it's amazing gorgeous and then that was pretty much it. They do have a really awesome tron ride there too. It's fun, uh, but it's super short. I think it's like literally less than 90 90 seconds.

Speaker 1: 5:10

It's really short, yeah was was standing in line. How long was that line?

Speaker 2: 5:14

that weight. The weight was over 70 minutes. Yeah, was standing in line. How long was that line that wait? The wait was over 70 minutes. It was a wait. Yeah, there's a wait. Nah, you can keep that man. It was funny because they had shut it down because of the rain and the thunderstorms and they were like we're shutting down the ride temporarily, so if you want to leave, go ahead, and everybody's just like sheesh Going nowhere yeah, nobody really loved, so I was like I'm not leaving because I came here just to write this.

Speaker 2: 5:39

So, uh, yeah, no, I'm not at all I understand that shit.

Speaker 1: 5:42

I wouldn't go anywhere either, so with uh, I haven't been to like the whole disney shit in years, but I guess was it was it needed, was it something that you needed to get away, and stuff like that yeah, it was well needed.

Speaker 2: 6:01

Uh, good, plus, this was like a family vacation like my uh, my stepdad and my not my stepdad, but my my dad and my stepmom and my other sisters were there, so it was nice, because I don't really go on vacation with them very often, since I was like a kid, so yeah, Nostalgia, that's what's up.

Speaker 1: 6:23

I haven't been much to shit man Working and that's about it. I'm not trying to go too deep into that shit.

Speaker 2: 6:33

Let's not. We'll be here all night.

Speaker 1: 6:39

That's about it. You know I I will say that with with this job I am, so I never worked within like the networking type of shit, never, I've, never, I've. That's not true. I used to. I used to be a cable technician and I used to pull cable. So I did do that, but and terminating Cat 5, cat 6, testing, you know, ethernet and all that shit, but actually getting into like subnets and all that shit never done that. You know that wasn't shit that I was doing With this. It is coming up. It's like I'm learning new shit, which is cool.

Speaker 1: 7:23

That's good, we'll leave that shit at that. Not much from my side. A lot of rain, a lot of heat, hot, hot. Oh my God, it is fucking hot, oh disgusting Anywho. So I'm going to I'm kind of going to go in a different aspect right now. I told Lexi that I want I have a certain, a certain phone came out yesterday from the brand called Nothing. It's one of these phones, as you can see, you can see like the inside of the phone and everything in the back and stuff, and it shows you all that has like glyphs on it.

Speaker 1: 8:14

So when you place it on its screen, the glyphs on it. So when you place it um on its screen, the glyphs light up and shit like that. So it's pretty cool. So you don't have. So you know, a message is there and all that shit.

Speaker 2: 8:23

Right, great phone like 300 bucks that's not bad, especially when it has all those features yeah, so snapdragon, all that shit.

Speaker 1: 8:33

Right now, they came out with their first flagship phone. They showed a preview of it today. Right, and the design? Okay, let me just preface it with this. So they have a new glyph interface mm-hmm it comes with four 50 megapixel camera systems. Okay, you can buy it in with 16 gigs of Ram and 512 gigabytes of memory, and it is eight 99.

Speaker 2: 9:08

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 9:09

Right now. This is the. This is the part that might freak people out. So the design of this phone is different, and when I say different, it is different, are we?

Speaker 2: 9:29

talking like early 2000s phone innovation era where everything looked different.

Speaker 1: 9:37

Kinda yeah, so this is it. This is the back of the phone, the cameras. The glyph is in the corner, so it has like a pixel notification and stuff. Now, um, it only comes in the colors of white and black, right, yeah, what do you think about this design? It's gonna be hard finding a case for that motherfucker.

Speaker 2: 10:10

I'll tell you that yeah, had a case would be hard, but I mean overall, I do like the design though yeah, it's not.

Speaker 1: 10:17

It's not bad. It's starting to uh, it's really starting to grow on me, which I appreciate. That now they also came out with headphones and the headphones. I might have to cop them shits honestly. This whole company has made an ecosystem. So they have a smart watch, they have headphones like earbuds and they made over the ear uh headphones, so the headphones and this is all their phones here. They kind of keep that same design yeah with their phones.

Speaker 1: 10:51

That blue one is a sick color, um, and they have cheaper phones, so the cheapest is 279 it's not too bad right, but I mean new company.

Speaker 1: 11:03

They're growing really fast. This is probably like one of the biggest phones. That like is I think it's kind of moving kind of quick within india and stuff like that too. There are british companies started in England and all that stuff. So it's pretty cool. The owner or the founder used to work for uh, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. He used to work for another phone company. I forgot the name of it. It wasn't Samsung, it wasn't iPhone.

Speaker 1: 11:33

It was no it wasn't Google, it was no it wasn't google um no, it was one that was really innovative in the beginning, and you had no, um, damn, I forgot, I totally killed. That's gonna, that's gonna, that's gonna kill lg htc no pick uh blackberry no, it's.

Speaker 1: 11:59

It's a phone that. It's a phone that um that I remember. When it first came out, you had to have your name on a list to get it there's a lot of phones like that yeah, but this one was was different. It was nice, like it was really nice, and I lost it, damn it.

Speaker 2: 12:16

The OnePlus phones.

Speaker 1: 12:17

Yes, he used to work for OnePlus, but the headphones they came out with though these shits, oh my god. I love the way these look.

Speaker 1: 12:34

I love these these are pretty nice these are amazing and a lot of you know a lot of the big tech reviewers are talking about them, saying they're pretty good, great um, anc on them and everything like that. It's some caveats to it, but I mean I love the way these look. I love the boxy look. It reminds me of old school volvos. That's why I like it. Oh, um, it's, it's a, it's it's.

Speaker 2: 13:04

They're nice I don't know, they're really nice.

Speaker 1: 13:06

It kind of reminds me of like a cassette that's, that's why I like it yeah so they came out with this, these and the new phone, uh, and they have regular earbuds, which are actually really good too, like really great quality. I love this, the transparent see-through that they kind of stick with and they also have cheaper earbuds and stuff. But yeah, so you. So you like that design. I.

Speaker 2: 13:34

I like the headphones. The headphones, like I said, look like a cassette, so it takes me back the phone. If I was in the market for an Android phone, I probably would get one of those because it's different and me, being a millennial, when I got a cell phone, like phones were different, like they were not the same cookie cutter as all the other. Now we, they all look the same yeah they all do the same thing. There's no innovation. So, yes, I do like the phones as well I.

Speaker 1: 14:09

I saw this and I was like, oh yeah, this phone is. It's great, like I think it's a great phone. It's just finding cases. A lot of places don't make cases for it. I like the see-through case, but it's a see-through case. There's really no creativity to it. It's a see-through case, whatever. But yeah, if you guys are looking for a new phone, check them out. I ordered it. It got here pretty quickly. It works it. I can say that it works with verizon. It works with t-mobile, for sure, and if it works on verizon, I would think it works on 18t too sure.

Speaker 2: 14:49

So huh, so it should work on 18t, especially for some t-mobile yeah, so it works on all of them.

Speaker 1: 14:58

Honestly, I'm gonna be real with you. When I work at the gun range, I'm out in the middle of bumfuck. With the samsung phone that I had I was the. The connection, like the signal, was shit. With this, I'm getting 4G plus. It enhances and it actually works and I can watch YouTube videos that actually run smooth. I wasn't doing that with the Samsung phone. I'm being honest. I mean, when I say bumfuck, I'm in on a gravel road to the range and it's out in the middle of fucking nowhere like it's back there. We got bears and all that shit back there too, so it's back there.

Speaker 1: 15:42

Um, so yeah, it's been a great phone so far sunny it's been a great phone so far and, um, yeah, if you guys are looking for a new phone, for sure get it. I'm pretty sure apple is gonna probably the apple come out with something. Oh, they did, they did shit last year, so they're not gonna be coming out with anything this year. I don't think so. Apple usually does like their showcase shit like around november.

Speaker 2: 16:13

No, it's in sept. It's every year, so we'll get new iPhones this year.

Speaker 1: 16:19

Hmm, I'm not that fun with that. So also, you know, I'm a person I take screenshots of shit that I'm like, oh my gosh, that's crazy. I want to talk about that. First one this might, oh man, okay, I'm gonna do it anyway. First one this might, oh man, okay, I'm going to do it anyway, fuck Alright. First one is Marvel is considering recasting Jonathan Majors as King the Conqueror. Look where Marvel is right now. Nigga, I say, do it, I'm not even gonna hold you. Do it because he, he played the fuck out of that part. He really fucking did he. He killed this part. And I'm not saying that Marvel's in the shit, but I have seen reviews about the um, what's that new shit that came out?

Speaker 1: 17:28

Ironheart yeah, I've been seeing reviews about that shit and a lot of people I mean, of course you're gonna have people that judge it and all that shit. Some people gonna like it, some people aren't. But for the people that are like, die hard, marvel fiends buying comics, going to comic cons and stuff like that, not really feeling it, it's a toss-up and right and just in the, you know, marvel had, you know, some movies that hit and everything like that. But right now, as we speak, I don't think marvel's doing that great. Uh, when I spent and I also mean hint, hint, dc, pick up your shit you guys could be really doing some shit right now like this is your chance yeah, this is your chance, but that nigga's fucking lollygagging right now, uh I mean the script for batman 2 is, you know, done, so I'm

Speaker 1: 18:23

I'm getting tired of these batmans man. It's so many other superheroes within the dc universe that they could like introduce, but I guess you have to stick with like the regs. Like the regulars I get it, but like the green lantern movie with um, who's supposed to be playing them now um the month, the nigga that looks like scar from lion king tell me the one that plays like the light-skinned guy with the no. Yeah, he looks like Scar.

Speaker 2: 18:54

Like the green eyes. Yeah, I don't know his name, but I know.

Speaker 1: 19:01

Yeah, he looks like Scar, but he's supposed to be playing, I guess, jon Stewart. Right, and we'll see how it goes. You know, we'll see how it goes. You know, we'll see how it happens. We've had what one. One green lantern was so bad that that motherfucker said, nope, I'm going back to marvel and I'm playing deadpool. I don't want any of this green lantern shit to be on me at all. Fuck this shit. I'm away from this shit if, if anybody brings up Green Lantern in front of me.

Speaker 2: 19:34

I'll punch you in the face. I didn't think it was that bad when I watched it, but he definitely did that. He was like no, I'm good.

Speaker 1: 19:43

Yup. He said, no, not today. Y'all not gonna catch me out here laughing, no, no, no, no, no. We are going to stay quiet about that Green Lantern role that I played and that's it cool, um, but I will say that I do think that they should bring him back. They should consider it. I really do. I think he, for that Loki season that he was in and he introduced him Jesus Christ, his acting was fucking great. It really fucking was, and he played the fuck out of that role. That's all I got for it. Like, consider it. Y'all motherfuckers ain't really doing any much. Ain't really doing better.

Speaker 1: 20:31

So I'll say, I'll say yeah, uh, yeah, man, yeah, I hope so. I hope they really consider that because that's that's a big one. Um, just a couple heads up for people, a couple animes that are coming out this month. We got or new, like second seasons of certain ones. We got Kaiju number eight coming out July 19th, season two, and we have Dandadan season two coming out july 3rd. So be prepared for those. Um, they should be good. Especially, I'm really looking forward to the kaiju number eight, just because I thought that first season was fucking great. Um, and dandadan is just like it's dandadan, I don't yeah, it's a.

Speaker 1: 21:34

These those are the type of animes that I can appreciate. Like I said, I don't, I don't need for me, I don't need like. Attack on titan to me is is so serious show. Attack on titan to me is literally like fucking um neon genesis, but a little bit not as like mind fucking so it.

Speaker 1: 22:05

It was just attack on titan was just always so, just like. Oh my god, this shit, like damn I need. I need no like in the ad, I like danded in because it can be funny, it can be serious and you get some good action in it. That's one of the reasons why I do like a demon slayer, why I like trigun because vash vash is the original Trigun. Let me be clear Vash the Stampede was a funny motherfucker but when it got like down to the serious shit, that motherfucker was on it. He was on it for sure, but it was also funny.

Speaker 1: 22:50

I don't mind like filler episodes sometimes funny. I don't mind filler episodes sometimes. I don't mind them. Sometimes I don't need to run through a whole season quick as shit. Now I'm not talking about Naruto filler. Hell. No, I'm not talking about Naruto filler. I don't need. Look. I get it, but I don't need a whole episode of all the kids trying to get Kakashi to show his Look. I get it, but I don't need a whole episode of all the kids trying to get Kakashi to show his face. I get it, but I really don't need that. That's not the type of filler I'm talking about. Sometimes it's necessary to have that filler Be prepared for these two coming out.

Speaker 1: 23:32

It's a whole bunch more but I didn't want to go through all those shits Also, you know, we we talked about this and I'll be the first one to start it but we talked about like getting people to do hot takes and stuff like that Kind of doing, like giving hot takes, and all that shit. I don't know how it's going to go, who knows? I don't know if motherfuckers really want to give they hot takes. I got one for you right now, um, and I don't care.

Speaker 1: 24:04

I think black clover yeah black clover is damn near in my one of my top like 10 animes, just because of how consistent they were and they didn't stop until they get to the second phase and you see Asta become himself. Right, love that. I love everything about Black Clover. It's great. It's like just like any other fucking story. You know you, you can choose what faction you like, right you got all these different huh but why is that a hot take that?

Speaker 1: 24:47

no, because some people no, that's, that's what I'm saying. But some people oh my Lexi, we know how this game goes, we know how this game goes.

Speaker 2: 24:55

I'm just asking.

Speaker 1: 24:57

I'm going to put it to you like this this is going to get clipped. We're going to put this on TikTok oh God Right. And this is what's going to happen. People are going to be like what the fuck is that motherfucker talking about? That motherfucker don't know shit. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So you can suck a bag of dicks. Black Clover should be in a lot of top tens Just because of their consistency and storyline, like hands down, and also their artwork. It looks, oh my, my gosh, it looks fucking amazing. So that's something I got. Just putting that out there. Um, what else? Oh, this is a good one because I might have to buy this myself, but a oldie but goodie game is coming back to mobile and steam, july 8th.

Speaker 1: 26:00

If you played this, you know why backyard baseball is coming back and it's coming to mobile and steam, july 8th I need a basketball one you know what's crazy I was.

Speaker 1: 26:19

I watched a clip of jason kelsey and his uh, his brother yeah talking about this bringing this back and kind of being investors or something like that. Like, yeah, we need to bring that shit back because this shit was fucking amazing for its time. It was fucking amazing and it's it's. You know, it'd be great if they had an online feature to it, which they probably wouldn't, but it's coming back. The game will feature 28 of the original major league baseball baseball teams. Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait. I wonder if they'll have the expos on here.

Speaker 2: 27:10

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1: 27:12

I wonder if they'll have the Montreal expos on here and not the washington nationals. That'd be nice. I like the montreal expo jerseys. They have really nice jerseys, um, but yeah, people look out for that. You know I it's a great game. I mean they were just good and if they come out with the baseball, I would think they come out with everything fucking else.

Speaker 2: 27:36

I just want the basketball one that was like my go to. I used to play that like for hours and hours as a kid oh yeah, it was just.

Speaker 1: 27:44

It was just, you know what it was nifty clean, fun. That's what it was. Nah, now I'm being so honest that that playing that game was the most wholesome game that you can play. It was just a great game to play and you just, you know, just enjoy it. Nothing too crazy, not hurting your brain. It's just a simple baseball game, which I, jesus, I fucking love that shit. I love it. Um, eh, I have other things, but it's not like shit. That's like, oh my God, um, okay, this, this one might be pretty good. Just yeah, just yeah Also.

Speaker 1: 28:39

Hello oh yeah, right, tell me how you say that okay there we go. A carol film rights lapse at warner brothers, how do other people say it? I don't know um, but they lapse at warner brothers and return to Codentia, if I'm saying that wrong don't tell me We'll go with that.

Speaker 1: 29:13

But if you're a fan, if you're a fan of it, I would think you would be very excited for this. Just because you don't know where it can go and, who knows, we could see something in the future, something great from it. Now I hope they don't fuck it up, because I have watched this, I think a lot of people have. I hope they don't fuck it up wherever it goes, trying to do some crazy shit. But you know, just some news to out there and sorry you guys, like I said, I take screenshots of everything and if you're listening on spotify and stuff, uh, there will be a video on spotify so you guys can uh see what I'm talking about. Um, oh shit, yeah, oh, that comes out. Damn, it's a lot of shit coming out this, um, in July, anime-wise, um, there's a lot of shit. Holy shit, hell's Paradise is getting a season two, which I feel like that came out like a long time ago.

Speaker 2: 30:26

What.

Speaker 1: 30:28

It wasn't last year. I know, it wasn't last year it's probably been like three possibly and I didn't think they were going to give a season two and um Free Ren, have you watched that?

Speaker 1: 30:44

I haven't no, I've heard people talk about it, I've seen some reviews about it and stuff like that. It's just not one of the animes that I'm into, like that. But season two coming out july 4th, hell's paradise coming out july 3rd. A lot of shit coming out in july. So, uh, you know, if you ain't got shit to do on 4th of July, watch some anime, you know? So you don't hear those stupid ass fireworks, jesus Christ, um, I'd rather hear fireworks than guns being shot in the air. Uh, nah, that's real shit.

Speaker 2: 31:23

Speaker 1: 31:25

That's so back at home, I remember being at 4th of July with my grandmother. I'm not going to go there with you right now, that's so yeah, back at home, I remember being a 4th of July with my grandmother and you would just hit gunshots in the air and gunshots and fireworks. It's just it was. It's fucking disgusting man. I'm not the biggest fan of the whole fireworks and stuff. Um, I don't know. Do you think four for july, like had, I don't want to say lost it's, it's shit. But we're also grown adults and not kids anymore. So four for july's back in the day just used to be like I don't know. Family gets together and you know all y'all laughing and shit and it shouldn't happen no yeah, that shit don't happen no more, which is sad, but you know shit happens, um.

I will say, uh, it, it. It looks like she's like really moving this year with the villains, like she's moving, moving and I'm like whoa, this is great, it's good to see that. I love seeing that. I it. It's interesting. I've never seen like a, a convention, from the ground up. I'm always seeing it like just already built and all that shit. You know, it's always like the old heads that still come to the con, like nah when I say, oh, I'll be like, yeah, I was come to the con, like nah.

Speaker 1: 36:08

When I say old heads, I mean like yeah, I was coming to Dragon Con in 95. I was, I was, we were just on one floor then. Crazy, how much were tickets back then? Oh man. But you know they came up with that Lifetime membership and I had to jump on it. Holy shit, man.

Speaker 2: 36:29

But you know they came up with that lifetime membership and I had to jump on it, Holy shit.

Speaker 1: 36:32

Pat or not, or like the motherfuckers that be like, yeah, it was called something else when I was going. It's like, it's like, it's like. So, if you're in North Carolina, right, you would know the name of it was called Raleigh Supercon, right. So somebody would be like, yeah, back in my day it was Supercon, Now we call it Galaxycon. Nah, I think it's motherfuckers like that that want to like how can I put this? That want to gloat but also kind of say, oh, you guys are just coming into this.

Speaker 1: 37:20

I've been in this game for almost a decade yeah, I've been this for a minute, so you know I'm just telling you what I know. You know we used to be over here, but now we're taking over the whole you know convention center. You know I was here when they were at the goddamn Holiday Inn.

Speaker 2: 37:43

You know shit like that. Oh my god, stop, Because now you got me thinking about like hank and his like friends and then back on my day and, yeah, some like flashback of them like playing football or some shit, yeah, yeah yeah, I think, I think that's the, I think that's the funniest shit, and I guess we could go into this con shit.

Speaker 1: 38:09

But whenever I go into, whenever I see a group of people at a convention, it's always that one person that like thinks they know everything, like they think they know where every vendor is oh yeah, the game room. You go down, you bust a right and it's right there on your corner. No, damn well, the game room ain't there at all, because they changed shit from last year. It's always those type of motherfuckers. It's so funny, though. I love it. I love seeing that. It's great. Jesus Christ man. Yeah, I was that dragon called back in the day.

Speaker 2: 39:00

That's so funny to me.

Speaker 1: 39:04

That's so fucking funny. Yeah, back in my day.

Speaker 2: 39:07

No, because it's always them that do not wear deodorant and have the con funk or they look like they just stepped out of their mama's basement.

Speaker 1: 39:14

Okay, I'm just saying walking around with a body pillow the whole time right, it's those weirdos yeah I want you to meet my girlfriend. I'm telling you they walk around with top hats and monocles. It's just those type of motherfuckers.

Speaker 2: 39:38

Oh God, why did you say that?

Speaker 1: 39:39

Oh, I know. I know exactly what you're talking about. Nah, wearing a top hat outside of a convention is insane. That's insane. And every time you see that person, the top hat just gets bigger and bigger.

Speaker 1: 40:00

Um nah it it. But like I said, it's cool to see a convention grow from the ground up and kind of just move and stuff like that. It's actually really nice. I don't know why that's so funny to me. That's hilarious to think about. Yeah, been here for a while. I think you can say that about anything. Oh, in Disneyland, did you see the crazy adults, the adults with like no kids?

Speaker 2: 40:36

I was an adult with no kids. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1: 40:39

Totally different. You know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. I'm talking.

Speaker 2: 40:45

Okay, I thought I would see a lot of those, yeah, but I did not see a lot of those yeah but I didn't see a lot of those like you would see like adults, like dressed in like disney attire yeah but really what? Like I forgot that like disney, pin collecting was a thing. So like nearly every shop there there were like pins for people to buy. And then I guess these mini ears are like collected too, because they were like all over the place. People were buying them and wearing them around.

Speaker 1: 41:19

How much is a pin?

Speaker 2: 41:21

I don't know, because I don't collect pins.

Speaker 1: 41:23

Oh, okay, how much were the ears?

Speaker 2: 41:25

You need to write their name For you. I have two, I have this and I have a duck still in there.

Speaker 1: 41:32

You could have went to the dollar store to get those. You could have went to the dollar store to get those. Damn. Nah, that's crazy. That's so, man, disney, oh my God Disney, you know what's crazy was, um, did you was like the harry potter shit there too no, that's.

Speaker 2: 41:56

That's a whole different.

Speaker 1: 41:59

That's universal yeah whatever dude, whatever um, because I was like, yeah, did you check out the wand, shit, I don't know.

Speaker 2: 42:06

Yeah, I already have a wand, I uh Of course you do. Of course it's me.

Speaker 1: 42:18

Why would I not?

Speaker 2: 42:20

I so, out of the different places that you went to within, you know, within the vacation, what was their favorite place um, magic kingdom was probably my favorite place, it's just because it's the largest, but also like the castle, that's like dead in the front, it's like super pretty, like I said, with the fireworks and it's. If you're ever there like late and you want to see it like, definitely watch it nice I when I went.

Speaker 1: 42:51

I remember I went a long time ago and I went back and told my friends that I went. It was I was like at a christian camp. Then I think, when I went and I was like, oh yeah, epcot was like my favorite place and some chick was like, of course, you were like epcot and I was like bitch fuck you yeah, right.

Speaker 1: 43:08

So when uh lexi told me that she was going to epcot, I was like you know, I was like epcot was supposed to be like the future, like it was supposed to be like in, you know yes, because they have that space ride like soon as you come in and I and I wrote that, yeah, but it's hella outdated now yeah, I bet, I bet walking like in the future there will be flying cars and all this shit.

Speaker 1: 43:37

Welcome to the epcot center. You will see it all. It's like epcot, oh I. Epcot is what. Epcot is what America would be if it was Fallout.

Speaker 2: 43:55

To some degree, because you know they also have like a world of food, because they have like different places you can go and eat.

Speaker 1: 44:04

It would be Epcot would just be us drinking radiated water and cartons and we have a robot as a friend and just a whole bunch of other shit. I haven't been to Epcot.

Speaker 2: 44:24

Did you ride the one at Magic Kingdom, the progress one, where it's like hey, we started here, it was like this ice cooler or whatever, and then it goes up to like the 20s, I think I did. The 50s and 70s and then, like today, it actually was up. Today they did have it where they had like headsets and stoves that do voice activation. That one has been updated, but the one in Apricot, the space thing, it's outdated.

Speaker 1: 44:59

Hold on, that might be Universal too, a Small World, isn't there right?

Speaker 2: 45:02

It is, but I did not write that.

Speaker 1: 45:04

Oh, that would have annoyed the fuck out of me. Damn, I was thinking. I was like is a small world there. Oh okay, yeah, damn okay, hmm, so did you see everybody?

Speaker 2: 45:16

goofy mini I didn't see them at all. What I didn't see them at all, yeah, no, I didn't see them. I saw. I saw very few princesses, I think I saw there's no one, yeah, and like, I saw the stormtroopers um that's crazy but I I didn't.

Speaker 1: 45:39

I didn't see any like minis or mickeys that's crazy, that you see stormtroopers and Darth Vader before you see any princesses like Mickey and Minnie and Pluto or whatever. That's insane, jesus, that's crazy. But yeah, I don't know, I don't have anything else.

Speaker 2: 46:04

I don't either.

Speaker 1: 46:05

You don't.

Speaker 2: 46:06

Did we get any hot takes? Did you even check?

Speaker 1: 46:09

yeah, we didn't oh we got some people in the chat. Y'all got any hot takes wow, hey we can talk about one real quick before we go please don't sorry but nah, this is that. That. That is something I think it's. I know people have their thoughts about a whole bunch of shit and everything and I think hot takes would actually be actually not bad.

Speaker 1: 46:41

I think it'll be cool, we can talk about it and stuff and, if it does go somewhere, possibly get people to actually come on and give the hot takes, kind of like an audio thing, and kind of have that conversation with them and stuff like that, and you know kind of see where it goes.
