00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.720
I would like Indiana Jones a Swip. Stop it. Stop

00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:07.740
what? Stop. Stop what? Five, four, three, two,

00:00:07.820 --> 00:00:12.119
one, zero. Welcome to the show people. Welcome

00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:26.500
to the show. Eat my shorts. So here is to conversation.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.320
Welcome to the Cash Exchange. Ahoy, ahoy. I used

00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.600
that today. Oh yeah? How'd it go over? It was

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.740
a discussion. We're gonna workshop it. I don't

00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.060
know that it works, but you know, we'll get there.

00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.459
I gotta be honest, I forgot about it completely

00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:09.700
until just now. So, I'll work on it though. It

00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:12.920
feels very unnatural. So I think with a little

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.060
bit of practice, it'll feel less weird. I'll

00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:18.280
feel a little less like Monty Burns. There you

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.099
go. Or maybe it stays weird and I just get to

00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:22.480
spread the weird. That's also fine. Everything

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.540
is weird the first time you try it. You gotta

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:28.540
get accustomed to it. That is fair. I used to

00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:32.920
thought it was so lame to say lol in a text that

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.459
I would actively avoid it. I would say like ha

00:01:36.459 --> 00:01:43.299
ha or ha or but How does one spell huh? Uh, huh.

00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:47.060
I mean, it's like the equivalent of like laughing

00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:50.959
through your nose. It's a huh. Interesting. Yeah,

00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.420
and then emojis emojis came into the game and

00:01:54.859 --> 00:01:56.859
hasn't really been that big of a problem, but

00:01:56.859 --> 00:02:01.180
I do use LOL now and it is mostly when I have

00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:04.859
nothing else of note to say about something.

00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:09.520
That's fair. I am a strong proponent for LOL

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.819
or the crying laughing emoji. I don't understand

00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:16.919
any of the variations and I think I personally,

00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:19.439
it throws me off every time it's used in a conversation.

00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.580
If you're like an LMAO person, I don't think

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:25.849
there are still ROFL people, but You say ROFL

00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:29.949
in a conversation? The only real options that

00:02:29.949 --> 00:02:35.909
you get are LOL and haha. I use the side eye

00:02:35.909 --> 00:02:39.770
face with the smirk. In fact, that was my pumpkin

00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:43.310
this year, was that emoji. Really? Yeah. Do you

00:02:43.310 --> 00:02:47.710
have a picture of it? I do. I use the melty face

00:02:47.710 --> 00:02:50.270
emoji, I think, more than anything else. Yeah,

00:02:50.550 --> 00:02:53.409
when Nate's just being so cute. In what context?

00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.900
think I've ever used it in a like, aww kind of

00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:01.580
context. I only use the melting emoji and like

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:05.020
exasperation. Like yesterday I sent a picture

00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:08.139
to Nate because I was trying to draw and my cat

00:03:08.139 --> 00:03:10.460
was sitting on my sketchbook and so I sent him

00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:12.740
a picture and I just, the melting emoji. That's

00:03:12.740 --> 00:03:16.539
the context. Huh. Okay. I just sent it to you.

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.539
Now you have to imagine it like being, I don't

00:03:19.539 --> 00:03:23.439
know, five days fresher. because I didn't think

00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.139
to take a picture when I was done with it, but

00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:28.699
I think it turned out pretty well. Okay. I wasn't

00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:32.300
expecting him to have the sharpied in facial

00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:35.520
features. That's not a Sharpie. No? That's cut.

00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:38.740
What do you mean that's cut? I carved that. You

00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:40.620
don't Sharpie on a pumpkin, you carve it like

00:03:40.620 --> 00:03:45.199
a man. This picture is like 144p. Here, let me

00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.419
change the... It's a live picture, so I can change

00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:51.080
the picture that it actually sends out to you.

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.680
Here we go. This is a better representation from

00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.060
this picture. It looks like you carved the face

00:03:57.060 --> 00:04:00.860
but not the facial features Okay. Well, I took

00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:03.699
a chisel to it and everything. Okay to get the

00:04:03.699 --> 00:04:07.580
face there there you can tell the Carvingness

00:04:07.580 --> 00:04:10.680
of that one. This is green bubble syndrome. I

00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.500
hate when people with iPhone send me pictures

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:14.840
because I have no idea what's happening Yeah,

00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:18.379
okay. That one looks more reasonable. Do I need

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:20.620
to send it like on Instagram? I don't have an

00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:23.160
Instagram It's gone again? I haven't had Instagram

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.660
for a long time. Or maybe I'm thinking TikTok?

00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:28.540
I do still have TikTok. One of these days, I'll

00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:30.560
be strong enough to get rid of it for realsies,

00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:34.100
like I did with my Instagram. Maybe. I delete

00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:37.100
my Facebook, but it's tied to too many accounts.

00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.040
Yeah, yeah. It is liberating when you finally

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.959
rid yourself of that scum. So, highly suggest

00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.639
it. I don't even get tricked in with the, with

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.240
the, attach your Facebook so that you can get

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.399
whatever. Nope, I can do without. That's what

00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:58.259
gets me. Yep. It's the one step log in. Yeah.

00:04:58.660 --> 00:05:00.199
Anyway, you want to know what your three things

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.740
are for today? I would very much appreciate that,

00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:08.480
yes. Labooboos. Kidneys. Pokemon cards. Things

00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.339
that are hot on the black market. Yeah. Things

00:05:11.339 --> 00:05:14.279
that are sought after. That's basically hitting

00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.579
the nail on the head. Oh yeah? Nice. Things that

00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:20.329
have a very robust resale market. I never get

00:05:20.329 --> 00:05:22.370
these things on the first try. I was trying to

00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:24.610
find one that wasn't, like, used in a previous

00:05:24.610 --> 00:05:26.970
episode because we've used a couple of them.

00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:29.610
The things that I have on my list for today in

00:05:29.610 --> 00:05:32.589
our three things. My alternatives were Beanie

00:05:32.589 --> 00:05:35.589
Babies, Funko Pops, and I think I had one more.

00:05:36.009 --> 00:05:38.629
Maybe not. How do you feel about Labooboos? They're

00:05:38.629 --> 00:05:40.769
demonic. And not just because of the South Park

00:05:40.769 --> 00:05:43.769
episode. Why do you think they're demonic? Uh,

00:05:43.769 --> 00:05:46.819
any time... a bunch of celebrities, especially

00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:49.759
like certain celebrities, really latch on to

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.939
something and artificially inflate the popularity

00:05:53.939 --> 00:06:00.139
or the value of something. I always step back

00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:03.540
and wonder, who is gaining what out of this?

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.240
That's fair. I worked in a place with a lot of

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.319
people my own age, which is kind of a rarity

00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:16.350
in my industry. But they were They talked pretty

00:06:16.350 --> 00:06:19.750
frequently about buying very specific Labooboos.

00:06:19.790 --> 00:06:21.949
And I just, I don't understand the hype because

00:06:21.949 --> 00:06:26.509
one of them was able to buy a Coca -Cola Labooboo,

00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:28.389
I believe, but it came with the bottle and they

00:06:28.389 --> 00:06:30.949
wanted the can or it came with the can and they

00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:33.509
wanted the bottle. And so they were going to

00:06:33.509 --> 00:06:37.410
go back to Pop Mart and try again. But these

00:06:37.410 --> 00:06:41.550
things are too expensive to do blind boxes in

00:06:41.550 --> 00:06:46.610
my opinion. I hate the blind box culture of the

00:06:46.610 --> 00:06:50.569
world. I was big into Pokemon cards. My son's

00:06:50.569 --> 00:06:53.329
big into Pokemon cards now. They're essentially

00:06:53.329 --> 00:06:58.829
the original blind box. It's very transparently

00:06:58.829 --> 00:07:04.449
like a marketing ploy and like you can skyrocket

00:07:04.449 --> 00:07:07.970
your numbers to the moon if you say, oh, but

00:07:07.970 --> 00:07:10.129
there's this one, it could be in this box or

00:07:10.129 --> 00:07:13.569
it could be in that box. We don't know. It's

00:07:13.569 --> 00:07:18.730
the same issue I have with the McDonald's Monopoly

00:07:18.730 --> 00:07:25.649
because it recently ended and I travel a lot

00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:27.910
so I have to eat at places a lot and I'm driving

00:07:27.910 --> 00:07:30.350
a lot so I just need to pull in somewhere, get

00:07:30.350 --> 00:07:34.939
something, get on my way. I usually don't stop

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:37.019
at McDonald's, but I was like, why not? They

00:07:37.019 --> 00:07:40.920
got this promotion going on. Maybe I'll win a

00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.100
TV or a Jeep Cherokee or an all -expenses trip

00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:49.120
to Hawaii. Who knows? So I fell for it this year

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.300
and I ended up all together through like the

00:07:54.300 --> 00:07:59.259
month of whatever it was, ended up with like

00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:04.079
probably 40 of the little game pieces. Okay,

00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:08.339
and you find out real quick that It's just the

00:08:08.339 --> 00:08:12.540
same pieces. Yeah, and that they can say oh,

00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.519
well you could get this if you have all these

00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.680
The two are gonna be in circulation everywhere

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.379
and that one is gonna be nowhere to be found

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:24.579
the There was a thing on a couple on tik -tok.

00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.199
That was like we have Everything we have all

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.490
the pieces except for one from every set So they

00:08:31.490 --> 00:08:33.509
found a McDonald's where they could just buy

00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:36.450
the cups that had the pieces on them. It was

00:08:36.450 --> 00:08:39.009
something like a hundred, two, a hundred and

00:08:39.009 --> 00:08:41.330
fifty cups or something like that. And not a

00:08:41.330 --> 00:08:43.990
single one had the pieces they need. What a waste.

00:08:44.789 --> 00:08:48.129
No joke. But that's the same kind of marketing

00:08:48.129 --> 00:08:49.990
that they use for Labooboos. That's the same

00:08:49.990 --> 00:08:54.029
kind of marketing they use for Pokemon. And the

00:08:54.029 --> 00:08:58.070
whole industry that has evolved around Pokemon

00:08:58.070 --> 00:09:03.049
to where grown people are getting into fist fights

00:09:03.049 --> 00:09:07.950
over these boxes of Pokemon cards is insane to

00:09:07.950 --> 00:09:11.509
me. It was insane to me whenever we were kids

00:09:11.509 --> 00:09:14.970
and women were fighting over razor scooters for

00:09:14.970 --> 00:09:18.250
their kids. But it's even more insane to me now

00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:21.509
that these little pieces of cardboard are worth

00:09:21.509 --> 00:09:25.850
all this trouble. Yeah. I live next door to a

00:09:25.850 --> 00:09:28.129
GameStop. Every time I pass by that GameStop

00:09:28.129 --> 00:09:31.559
in the morning without fail. there is a line

00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.539
of lawn chairs outside of it. I was so confused

00:09:34.539 --> 00:09:36.360
for the longest time because I was like, there's

00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.639
no way that there is a video game dropping every

00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:44.720
day. There's not a stand in line or break out

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.259
the lawn chair kind of event every day at GameStop.

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.779
I found out, or at least my reigning theory now

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:54.159
is that it's just either Magic the Gathering

00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.059
or Pokemon Card releases. That people are sitting

00:09:57.059 --> 00:10:00.019
outside of this GameStop before they open. Every

00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:04.000
single day. It's bananas like these are jobless

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.539
adults They very much are I'm not gonna say get

00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:10.000
a hobby because I assume this one is yours But

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.460
a hobby doesn't take over your life. Well, it

00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:17.159
can Shouldn't but it can but I think when it

00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:21.500
crosses that threshold It becomes an addiction

00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:24.740
more than a hobby Fair enough. I don't mind the

00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:27.580
blind boxes. I think that it's cool in small

00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:30.039
doses Like I'm not the kind of person who is

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.899
going to buy 15 of the things because maybe my

00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:35.700
15th one is going to be the one that I want.

00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.080
I'm just going to get one and whatever I ended

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.580
up with is whatever I end up with. To be fair

00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:43.840
though, I haven't found a thing that I care enough

00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.399
about necessarily to want to purchase them in

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.080
bulk, hoping that I get the one I'm actually

00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.220
dying or waiting for. But it's just the collectible

00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:57.620
culture confuses me, which is our topic for the

00:10:57.620 --> 00:11:00.419
day. Collectibles. That kidney is collectible?

00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:03.279
No, that was just things that have a big resale

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.379
market. Another thing that has a big resale market

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:11.700
is collectibles. Do you think that one friend

00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:14.899
of Selena Gomez wishes she could reclaim hers?

00:11:15.460 --> 00:11:17.039
I mean, she didn't get an invite to the wedding,

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.279
so maybe. Selena, what are you doing? I mean,

00:11:21.299 --> 00:11:24.820
that's not Selena. Has she been replaced? Yes.

00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.820
Has she been body snatched? I believe so. Is

00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:32.759
she a skinwalker now? I was inundated on TikTok

00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.779
with videos of the wedding and people reacting

00:11:35.779 --> 00:11:40.200
to the wedding. The internet is a just cesspool

00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:44.820
universally. But I was inundated with a lot of

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:48.019
the stuff about her wedding to Benny Blanco.

00:11:48.419 --> 00:11:51.899
And she just looks off. All of the interviews

00:11:51.899 --> 00:11:55.340
that she does. And I don't know what Lupus does

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:59.059
to a person. Everyone in the comments was a 50

00:11:59.059 --> 00:12:02.120
-50 of, they were either staunchly in one camp

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:06.019
of like, yeah, she did way too much filler and

00:12:06.019 --> 00:12:09.100
it just kind of like broke her ability to speak.

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:12.539
Or, hey guys, don't be mean to her. This is Lupus.

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.080
I don't know. I don't know what Lupus does to

00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:20.100
the face. Me either. It is wild. The changes

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:24.960
in her appearance and delivery of just about

00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:29.320
everything. in the last five -ish years? Yeah.

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:34.740
Not too long ago, the kids went into a Wizards

00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:40.460
of Waverly Place phase. And it's just, it's mind

00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:44.440
-boggling seeing the difference. Yeah. Did they

00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.259
watch the reboot Wizards Beyond? I think they

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:50.980
watched a couple episodes of it. Beyond Waverly

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:54.080
Place and like that. I don't know. Yeah, I didn't

00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.100
catch her in any of those episodes, but yeah,

00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:03.500
it's something. It's quite the transition, I

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:07.559
guess. All right, here's the, for anyone curious,

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.720
the side effects of lupus. The general symptoms

00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.340
are fatigue, fever, joint muscle pain, as well

00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:18.820
as specific ones like a butterfly -shaped rash

00:13:18.820 --> 00:13:21.899
on the face, sun sensitivity, and hair loss.

00:13:23.950 --> 00:13:27.909
Butterfly shaped rash is shockingly specific.

00:13:28.370 --> 00:13:30.809
Side effects affecting different body systems,

00:13:32.250 --> 00:13:36.769
the circulatory system, fingers and toes turn

00:13:36.769 --> 00:13:40.250
white or blue in the cold or during stress, increased

00:13:40.250 --> 00:13:43.129
risk of blood clots, the respiratory system,

00:13:43.570 --> 00:13:45.889
shortness of breath, chest pain, particularly

00:13:45.889 --> 00:13:48.870
when taking deep breaths, and increased risk

00:13:48.870 --> 00:13:55.210
of lung disease like... Pluriscy. P -L -E -U

00:13:55.210 --> 00:13:58.250
-R -I -S -Y. Pluriscy, I guess. I don't know.

00:13:58.590 --> 00:14:00.870
Nervous system, headaches, confusion or memory

00:14:00.870 --> 00:14:05.110
problems, seizures, kidney, swelling in the face,

00:14:05.210 --> 00:14:07.509
arms, legs, feet, high blood pressure, kidney

00:14:07.509 --> 00:14:10.690
disease or kidney failure. Other things such

00:14:10.690 --> 00:14:13.009
as mouth sores, swollen glands, anemia, which

00:14:13.009 --> 00:14:16.309
can contribute to fatigue, vision problems and

00:14:16.309 --> 00:14:22.230
dry eyes. So. I don't know that any of those

00:14:22.230 --> 00:14:26.509
line up with what's going on with the Selener,

00:14:26.750 --> 00:14:31.090
but... I don't know. But now we know what the

00:14:31.090 --> 00:14:34.590
main side effects of Lupus are. Knowing is half

00:14:34.590 --> 00:14:39.250
the battle. Collectibles. Collectibles. Do you

00:14:39.250 --> 00:14:47.690
collect anything? Still? When I was... in...

00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:49.750
middle school and high school, I collected a

00:14:49.750 --> 00:14:53.529
bunch of Simpson stuff. I had a pretty decent

00:14:53.529 --> 00:14:57.330
collection. A lot of it's in boxes now, and I'm

00:14:57.330 --> 00:15:02.509
sure most of it is just lost somewhere. But if

00:15:02.509 --> 00:15:05.669
I see something that catches my eye every now

00:15:05.669 --> 00:15:10.210
and then, I will procure it. But for the most

00:15:10.210 --> 00:15:12.570
part, I don't seek it out. I don't try to track

00:15:12.570 --> 00:15:15.429
down every piece of Simpson's everything that

00:15:15.429 --> 00:15:21.779
I can find. What else? What about collecting

00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:30.600
tools? Sure. Because I do do that. I will decide

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.919
I'm going to do something, but I need a really

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.620
specific tool for it. And really, I'm just deciding

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:39.539
to do that thing so that I can get that really

00:15:39.539 --> 00:15:42.340
specific tool that I'll probably use maybe twice.

00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.659
I do the same thing with art supplies. Like I

00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:50.120
have a, I have a routing table in my garage.

00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:53.279
What? A routing table. What is a routing table?

00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:59.759
Routing table? A router. It takes a circular

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.820
bit that you can carve like patterns into. So

00:16:03.820 --> 00:16:09.600
like, uh, like the trim up on a ceiling, like

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.299
around the edges, how it's like curved and it's

00:16:12.299 --> 00:16:16.210
got those intricate like patterns in them. Yeah,

00:16:16.210 --> 00:16:18.529
that's what a routing router is for. And then

00:16:18.529 --> 00:16:21.850
a routing table is just a flat surface that you

00:16:21.850 --> 00:16:26.950
can run it along so that you can do that design

00:16:26.950 --> 00:16:31.470
in a longer piece of material. Okay. Interesting.

00:16:32.370 --> 00:16:39.610
So I do have that. I have not used it for the

00:16:39.610 --> 00:16:43.149
purpose that I got it for, but that's because

00:16:43.149 --> 00:16:45.899
I just had all kinds of other stuff. Getting

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:49.419
in the way eating up my time Because I'm an adult

00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:54.159
and I know when a hobby needs to take a back

00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:59.379
burner to doing adult things Sure I mean the

00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:02.700
people Sitting outside the GameStop where they're

00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:05.660
pretty early. It's not like they Didn't have

00:17:05.660 --> 00:17:10.099
jobs to go to afterwards. We don't know if this

00:17:10.099 --> 00:17:14.289
is a generalization and I realize that but If

00:17:14.289 --> 00:17:19.109
on a random Tuesday you are so motivated to get

00:17:19.109 --> 00:17:24.190
up at four, five o 'clock in the morning to set

00:17:24.190 --> 00:17:28.890
up a lawn chair, to sit outside of a GameStop

00:17:28.890 --> 00:17:36.289
for hours on end, it's probably safe to say that

00:17:36.289 --> 00:17:40.509
maybe your priorities are misaligned. That is

00:17:40.509 --> 00:17:42.710
a possibility. I'm not saying everyone in line.

00:17:42.829 --> 00:17:47.990
I'm just saying that generally, that is what

00:17:47.990 --> 00:17:50.509
you're going to find. The chronically online,

00:17:51.769 --> 00:17:55.769
the chronically in front of the screen. Fair

00:17:55.769 --> 00:18:01.869
enough. I don't know. I mean, if you don't have

00:18:01.869 --> 00:18:04.529
anything to do on your Tuesday mornings, you

00:18:04.529 --> 00:18:07.890
really like Pokemon cards? More power to you.

00:18:08.190 --> 00:18:10.230
I guess, yeah. I mean, you're going to do what

00:18:10.230 --> 00:18:14.119
you're going to do. I don't care. It's a lot

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:20.039
of people's social activity. That is valid. If

00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:21.960
that is how you connect with other human beings

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.299
with similar interests, then more power to you.

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.900
Just don't let it take up your whole life. Yeah,

00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:30.539
chat with the other people in lawn chairs. I

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:32.220
mean, that's a good rule of thumb for anything.

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:36.119
Don't let it be your whole personality. Yeah,

00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:43.099
but most people don't... They let that fall by

00:18:43.099 --> 00:18:48.619
the wayside. They, uh, are all for, I get it.

00:18:48.619 --> 00:18:55.980
It's easy to just dive head first into something

00:18:55.980 --> 00:19:01.519
that you have an easy connection to with people.

00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.519
That's, I get it, but I don't think it's very

00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.839
healthy. Yeah. And Disney adults, uh, anyone

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.359
who has a parasocial relationship with a celebrity?

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:19.779
Yeah. Yeah. Who was it? Miranda Cosgrove. I was

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:22.619
recently reminded of the story of her stalker

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:30.240
that announced his affection for her on her front

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:35.259
yard, front lawn. And when it was not reciprocated,

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:38.779
decided to end himself there. And she still lives

00:19:38.779 --> 00:19:43.619
in that house, which I think is odd. She genuinely

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:49.339
scares the hell out of me. Why? Because she was

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:53.980
a nit kid. She was a big nit kid. And so one

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:58.440
could imagine that she has either been subjected

00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:02.000
to or has at least seen or heard about some things

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.339
that have happened to her peers. She handles

00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:09.309
the... If you've ever heard her talk directly

00:20:09.309 --> 00:20:13.190
about the stalker that off themselves on her

00:20:13.190 --> 00:20:15.849
front lawn, she's like laughing about it. She

00:20:15.849 --> 00:20:18.829
is like fully disconnected. And that is both

00:20:18.829 --> 00:20:23.829
impressive and terrifying. Yeah. Yeah. I don't

00:20:23.829 --> 00:20:27.130
think I'd be as cavalier about it. Right. But

00:20:27.130 --> 00:20:31.369
I don't know. But it was just like telling the

00:20:31.369 --> 00:20:35.509
story about the lady trying to buy adult things

00:20:35.509 --> 00:20:39.319
at the Walmart. Who's that level of cavalier?

00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:48.160
Oh Yeah, I mean maybe Maybe Nickelodeon and good

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.579
old Dan Schneider Had another victim that we

00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:58.220
just never took into account What about you what

00:20:58.220 --> 00:21:04.059
do you collect what do you hoard so I'm not a

00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:09.680
big collections person I have a habit of just

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.940
like Marie condoing my home every six months

00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:17.980
or so. It doesn't spark joy. With that said,

00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:25.960
I collected DVDs when I was younger and ended

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:27.700
up selling them because they didn't really fit

00:21:27.700 --> 00:21:32.319
into my apartment and also was not, I didn't

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.589
have really a DVD player at that point. Uh, so

00:21:36.589 --> 00:21:39.769
I got rid of most of my DVDs, but because I am

00:21:39.769 --> 00:21:43.349
real sick of streaming services and honestly

00:21:43.349 --> 00:21:46.869
doom scrolling through streaming apps, I have

00:21:46.869 --> 00:21:53.950
started rebuilding my DVD collection. I, I think

00:21:53.950 --> 00:21:57.109
there is a parallel universe in which I collect

00:21:57.109 --> 00:22:00.150
Funko Pops. I do really like them and their little

00:22:00.150 --> 00:22:07.860
beady soulless eyes, but they're also. expensive

00:22:07.860 --> 00:22:11.940
for what they are. And I've never like, a lot

00:22:11.940 --> 00:22:14.579
of the ones that I would specifically be interested

00:22:14.579 --> 00:22:18.039
in, they cost way too much because they're not

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.559
in print because they're a lot more obscure.

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:29.440
Yeah. Our father, you could say, is an inconsiderate

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.940
gift giver, but also the most considerate gift

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:35.369
giver. Because usually what he'll do if there's

00:22:35.369 --> 00:22:40.009
a gift -giving occasion is He'll say what do

00:22:40.009 --> 00:22:42.509
you want and then okay, we'll go to the store.

00:22:42.609 --> 00:22:46.930
We'll go get it which For the most part is pretty

00:22:46.930 --> 00:22:52.450
nice. Yeah It's not so nice whenever he forgets

00:22:52.450 --> 00:22:56.029
that there is a gift -giving occasion like most

00:22:56.029 --> 00:23:02.029
recently For one of my daughters and just completely

00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.480
skipped his mind and This this set of birthdays

00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:14.140
is the easiest in the world because I got our

00:23:14.140 --> 00:23:20.099
mother is one day in November Exactly a week

00:23:20.099 --> 00:23:24.079
from that is my youngest Exactly a week from

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:29.299
that is my son's Every year, it's it's like a

00:23:29.299 --> 00:23:33.130
like a surprise Whenever November rolls around

00:23:33.130 --> 00:23:39.230
But last year with my son's birthday He came

00:23:39.230 --> 00:23:43.549
over We're having a party and he just said Max

00:23:43.549 --> 00:23:47.089
He just said what do you want for your birthday?

00:23:48.750 --> 00:23:52.769
And he's indecisive and so he says I don't know

00:23:52.769 --> 00:23:56.450
Okay, you want to go target. Let's just go target

00:23:56.450 --> 00:24:01.390
Goes target comes back from target With a huge

00:24:01.390 --> 00:24:07.569
box What my son decided to Ask his grandfather

00:24:07.569 --> 00:24:13.109
for his birthday was a gigantic Funko pop Pokemon

00:24:13.109 --> 00:24:19.309
don't ask me which one I Can give you the general

00:24:19.309 --> 00:24:25.670
shape it's But I don't know exactly which one

00:24:25.670 --> 00:24:30.900
yeah, and so We take it out of the box at the

00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:38.380
house and our father says, what does it do? And

00:24:38.380 --> 00:24:44.200
I said, you are looking at it. That's what it

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:53.839
does. And he, he wasn't upset. I think he was

00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:58.160
more befuddled. by the fact that he just spent

00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:06.000
50 plus dollars on this gigantic plastic action

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:15.660
figure that does nothing. Yep. And the reason

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:24.279
that this action figure was $50 is because of

00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:28.579
the type of people who wait outside of GameStop

00:25:28.579 --> 00:25:37.039
for new drops of Pokemon cards. I mean, in that

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:39.420
situation, I feel like the price point that it

00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:41.920
commands is more because it's a giant Funko Pop.

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:44.779
I've seen that thing. It's massive. It is massive.

00:25:45.420 --> 00:25:48.400
It is massive, but it is not $50 worth of plastic.

00:25:49.980 --> 00:25:54.160
I bought a Funko Pop for a Christmas present.

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:56.640
I bought a Funko Pop for a Christmas present

00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:03.859
today, and it is real little. I just think he's

00:26:03.859 --> 00:26:11.039
neat. He is neat. And I have a Hamilton Funko

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.980
Pop. I have a George Washington Funko Pop. And

00:26:14.980 --> 00:26:18.480
that's it. We went back for Jefferson, but they

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.339
didn't have it. And then we have a Jamie Ben.

00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:26.950
You have a what? Jamie Ben, he's the captain

00:26:26.950 --> 00:26:32.130
for the Dallas Stars. Oh, okay. I have Bob Ross

00:26:32.130 --> 00:26:34.009
and Buddy the Elf, both of which were gifted

00:26:34.009 --> 00:26:37.410
to me. I don't think I've ever sought out a Funko

00:26:37.410 --> 00:26:41.170
Pop, but I went to the Grapevine Mills mall the

00:26:41.170 --> 00:26:44.829
last time I was in DFW, and there's a bookstore

00:26:44.829 --> 00:26:47.549
that has just a wall of Funko Pops. And I did

00:26:47.549 --> 00:26:50.589
find a good amount of them that I was like, I

00:26:50.589 --> 00:26:53.410
would like to have that. But mentally, I also

00:26:53.410 --> 00:26:55.650
can't reason with myself that I could purchase

00:26:55.650 --> 00:26:57.670
something for the same reason that our dad was

00:26:57.670 --> 00:27:03.109
befuddled by a $50 action figure. I can't reason

00:27:03.109 --> 00:27:05.430
paying the amount of money that they want for

00:27:05.430 --> 00:27:07.849
them to just be on a shelf staring at me with

00:27:07.849 --> 00:27:10.190
their beady little eyes. I can't either. Would

00:27:10.190 --> 00:27:12.410
I like to have the Thomas Jefferson to round

00:27:12.410 --> 00:27:15.210
it out? Yes. Am I going to track it down and

00:27:15.210 --> 00:27:18.349
pay out of print prices for it? No. The things

00:27:18.349 --> 00:27:22.640
that I would want Funko Pops for? would be really

00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.019
obscure. Like I wouldn't want to do, I would

00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:28.059
want like custom Funko Pops. I would want ones

00:27:28.059 --> 00:27:30.839
that were like handmade. Things that have some

00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:34.299
kind of uniqueness to them because I know that

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:36.339
those same beady little eyes that are currently

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:38.980
staring at me from my bookshelf are the same

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:41.640
of hundreds of thousands of others. I think it'd

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.240
be cool if I had like a My Name is Earl Funko

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:46.380
Pop, but I know they don't make them. That would

00:27:46.380 --> 00:27:51.460
be cool. You've looked it up. Haven't but that

00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:53.359
show has been off the air for so long that I

00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:56.500
can't possibly imagine They have we have all

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:59.940
kinds of stuff all kinds of stuff. I Don't think

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:04.900
it had a big enough cult following You'd be surprised

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:07.940
Jason Lee still talks about his time with my

00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:10.740
name is Earl and how big of a letdown it was

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:13.799
that it got Asked when it did. Yeah, it was a

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:17.099
big letdown. They ended on cliffhanger Earl Hickey

00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:22.170
Funko pop Wait, what? Yeah, I'm looking at it

00:28:22.170 --> 00:28:24.789
right now. There's even a two -pack with the

00:28:24.789 --> 00:28:28.529
Hickey brothers. I told you. How much do they

00:28:28.529 --> 00:28:32.730
cost? And are his eyes closed? They are not.

00:28:32.930 --> 00:28:36.789
He's got one eyebrow raised. There might be multiple

00:28:36.789 --> 00:28:40.930
ones. They did Randy dirty. He doesn't look right.

00:28:41.769 --> 00:28:46.710
Oh, right here. Wait. Okay. This is the... You

00:28:46.710 --> 00:28:49.000
know what I want? If anyone asks, you tell them

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:54.480
this. I want a 3D printer. I so badly want a

00:28:54.480 --> 00:29:00.019
3D printer. I would do so many fun things with

00:29:00.019 --> 00:29:06.079
a 3D printer. So this is the files to 3D print

00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:08.779
your own Earl Hickey Funko Pop. Pay five bucks

00:29:08.779 --> 00:29:12.299
for it. Only five bucks? And then you can even

00:29:12.299 --> 00:29:15.900
hand paint it yourself? I want all of them. Earl,

00:29:16.019 --> 00:29:20.279
Randy. Joy, Darnell, Catalina. Oh, okay. So yeah,

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:23.160
maybe they don't. Maybe they're not like legit.

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:26.079
No, here's one with Randy holding a box. With

00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:28.579
Ethan Supley holding a Randy. That's recent because

00:29:28.579 --> 00:29:30.779
he's real skinny. He's been skinny for a little

00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:33.119
while now. Has he? I don't know. Maybe they're

00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.119
not legit. They look real good though. But if

00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.759
you can find an Earl Sinclair from Dinosaurs,

00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.039
there's no reason you can't find an Earl Hickey,

00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:44.789
so. All right, well. In that case, for one of

00:29:44.789 --> 00:29:47.109
the gift -giving holidays, I would like to request

00:29:47.109 --> 00:29:50.670
in advance that I want an Earl or Randy Hickey.

00:29:50.829 --> 00:29:53.309
Okay. Well, then you put the word out that I

00:29:53.309 --> 00:29:57.069
want a 3D printer first. Yeah. Okay. The first

00:29:57.069 --> 00:30:00.329
of us to get a 3D printer. Our first project

00:30:00.329 --> 00:30:02.190
is going to be the My Name is Earl Funko Pop.

00:30:02.349 --> 00:30:05.230
There we go. Tell you what, I'll even bookmark

00:30:05.230 --> 00:30:07.430
this website so that I have it at the ready.

00:30:08.329 --> 00:30:13.140
$4 for Randy. Anyway. If I could get more of

00:30:13.140 --> 00:30:15.859
that kind of obscure Funko Pop, I would absolutely

00:30:15.859 --> 00:30:20.460
collect them. At least, okay. So if you are involved

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:23.539
in the creation of it, then I think it's fine

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:26.740
to have a collection like that. Like Legos. Like

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:29.799
Legos, yeah. You have the money for Legos, and

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:35.099
then you have the time and the patience to actually

00:30:35.099 --> 00:30:37.220
build the kits and have somewhere to store them,

00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.410
to display them, then go for it. Because at least

00:30:40.410 --> 00:30:44.190
then you are actually pursuing something while

00:30:44.190 --> 00:30:47.589
you're doing this collecting hobby. That is fair.

00:30:47.789 --> 00:30:50.849
I think in the case of being able to 3D print

00:30:50.849 --> 00:30:54.569
your own equivalent of a Funko Pop, you're building

00:30:54.569 --> 00:30:58.930
skills, which is cool. Yeah. And 3D printing

00:30:58.930 --> 00:31:02.470
can, like, you can get a lot of, there's a lot

00:31:02.470 --> 00:31:05.130
of avenues to make money with that. So you could

00:31:05.130 --> 00:31:07.730
even turn your hobby into a lucrative side business

00:31:07.730 --> 00:31:11.230
or a full -time job. I don't know. I feel like

00:31:11.230 --> 00:31:13.710
that one is tough to do these days. The market

00:31:13.710 --> 00:31:16.630
is saturated. 3D printers are not that expensive.

00:31:18.390 --> 00:31:21.650
I mean, it's almost like getting into podcasting

00:31:21.650 --> 00:31:25.069
in 2024. Crazy. Who would do that? Yeah. Psychos,

00:31:25.109 --> 00:31:30.130
that's who. Psychos, yeah. We need some, we need

00:31:30.130 --> 00:31:32.789
some, create some fake drama. I've been thinking

00:31:32.789 --> 00:31:34.940
about this a lot. Do you know how easy it would

00:31:34.940 --> 00:31:40.640
be to cash in on just talking politics? It doesn't

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:43.700
matter which side of the aisle you want to be

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:46.299
on. Even if you want to troll that side, it's

00:31:46.299 --> 00:31:50.259
so easy to just put a stupid opinion out there,

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:52.019
then people start talking about it. And then

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:53.980
eventually, people are just going to take your

00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:56.480
word for it. Sure, yeah. Like the people that

00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.299
get airtime on shows like Piers Morgan. or even

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:03.140
the people that they bring on to CNN or Fox News

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:05.319
that are just like social media people. It's

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:08.380
ridiculous. I don't think that I want to make

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:14.059
money through podcasting bad enough to be a political

00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:18.500
commentator. I don't either. That's one of the

00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:20.680
reasons why I haven't. Also, I like my blood

00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:24.700
pressure where it is, regardless of what I believe

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:27.599
about politics. I know that discussing it on

00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:31.180
a podcast would just That probably would stressful

00:32:31.180 --> 00:32:34.799
to all involved and since my curiosity got the

00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:39.660
better of me a David Diggs signed Thomas Jefferson

00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:44.779
from Hamilton Funko pop is 210 dollars That's

00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:46.200
actually not as bad as I would think it would

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:51.339
be Another one on here is for 302 250 apparently

00:32:51.339 --> 00:32:54.380
he signs he's a bunch There was always people

00:32:54.380 --> 00:32:58.500
hanging out outside of the stage doors Waiting

00:32:58.500 --> 00:33:00.759
to get stuff signed. But yeah, I mean all you

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:03.339
have to do is have the most asinine opinion on

00:33:03.339 --> 00:33:07.099
anything and You'll get people saying you go

00:33:07.099 --> 00:33:09.000
girl. You'll get people saying you're the stupidest

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:11.680
person that's ever been on this earth And that's

00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:14.539
all you need and that is a problem with society

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:18.160
that that is all it takes One of the reasons

00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:20.839
that I don't partake really in social media never

00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.920
have is because I don't want to Invite the feedback

00:33:25.099 --> 00:33:28.500
of strangers in that particular instance. I'm

00:33:28.500 --> 00:33:30.460
honestly a pretty big proponent for the dead

00:33:30.460 --> 00:33:33.940
internet theory anyway, but a lot of this is

00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:36.880
just the void talking back to us, not actual

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.480
human beings. But I'm not going to put myself

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:44.160
in a position where I'm allowing the peanut gallery

00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:48.119
to weigh in on ultra private matters. Well, it's

00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:50.660
like whenever we first started posting stuff

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:57.480
on Instagram I don't think we got any negative

00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:01.500
stuff on Instagram but YouTube and tik -tok as

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:03.680
soon as we started posting stuff these people

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:09.219
came in with these opinions on our appearance

00:34:09.219 --> 00:34:14.000
and us as people immediately nothing on the content

00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.059
of what they just watched or if whether they

00:34:16.059 --> 00:34:19.500
liked it or not it was just hey hey guys you

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:24.920
hey you suck okay bye level of audacity increases

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:28.340
exponentially when you don't have an actual name

00:34:28.340 --> 00:34:32.300
or an actual picture of you attached to the vitriol

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:34.679
you spew. Yeah, and these people did not have

00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.039
profile pictures. So who's to say they were actual

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.159
people? We don't know. That is correct. I went

00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:44.679
into a bit of a light tailspin just because like,

00:34:44.780 --> 00:34:48.659
who are you? Who are you? And then I did some

00:34:48.659 --> 00:34:52.300
researching into this person. Nothing that wasn't

00:34:52.300 --> 00:34:54.900
like just there on their profile or whatever

00:34:54.900 --> 00:34:57.659
And then did nothing with it because at the end

00:34:57.659 --> 00:35:02.179
of the day it doesn't matter but Yeah, that kind

00:35:02.179 --> 00:35:05.980
of stuff is just is just dumb. I've never I've

00:35:05.980 --> 00:35:16.880
never partaken in Needing to Get my My sadness

00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:20.719
out by just attacking random people on the internet

00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:24.900
So I don't know what the motivation for it is,

00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:31.800
but I mean, I can see how it can be an outlet

00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:35.219
that people choose. Yep. Because there's no culpability

00:35:35.219 --> 00:35:38.280
in it. There's no... Consequence. Consequences,

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:42.159
yeah. Don't be that guy, kids. Nobody likes that

00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:44.460
guy. That guy doesn't like that guy. Fair enough.

00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:48.340
But when you're talking about DVDs, I still have

00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:53.349
a bunch of mine. and I have been responsible

00:35:53.349 --> 00:35:58.510
for helping you with your short -sightedness

00:35:58.510 --> 00:36:02.489
because I have bestowed upon you some of my collection.

00:36:02.969 --> 00:36:05.630
What? Not that long ago. What are you talking

00:36:05.630 --> 00:36:08.610
about? My DVDs that I still have, that I held

00:36:08.610 --> 00:36:11.610
onto when you got rid of all yours. Huh? You

00:36:11.610 --> 00:36:13.750
bestowed upon me, what DVDs would you give me?

00:36:14.409 --> 00:36:17.539
The Ringer. Uh, pretty sure there was another

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:19.679
one. All I'm saying is that I have more foresight

00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:21.699
than you. That's all I'm saying. That's it. Sure.

00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:24.940
I didn't want to have to move with all of the

00:36:24.940 --> 00:36:27.179
things. And I stand by that decision. Movies

00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:31.119
are heavy. Oh. Don't get me wrong. Don't get

00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:32.860
me wrong. It's been a pain in the ass. I've got,

00:36:32.860 --> 00:36:35.739
uh, three totes just chilling in the garage.

00:36:35.900 --> 00:36:38.380
I'm surprised we're not all melted by now, but...

00:36:38.110 --> 00:36:40.889
There have been some times where I really want

00:36:40.889 --> 00:36:43.110
to watch something. It's like, I'm pretty sure

00:36:43.110 --> 00:36:46.230
I own that at one point. And I go on a little

00:36:46.230 --> 00:36:50.769
mini adventure and I go track it down. And usually

00:36:50.769 --> 00:36:53.730
by the time I find it, I'm not really that interested

00:36:53.730 --> 00:36:56.489
in watching it anymore. So it just sits next

00:36:56.489 --> 00:36:59.530
to the PlayStation until I'm ready to actually

00:36:59.530 --> 00:37:01.809
sit down and watch it. At that point, you have

00:37:01.809 --> 00:37:04.210
to make yourself watch it. You went all of this

00:37:04.210 --> 00:37:06.429
way. You would think. Just to sit down at the

00:37:06.429 --> 00:37:09.460
finish line. You would think, but I get distracted

00:37:09.460 --> 00:37:11.960
easily. Which is the problem with streaming services.

00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:14.280
I'm tired of doom scrolling movies that I could

00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:17.880
be watching. Well, in the not too distant future,

00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:20.960
you won't have to doom scroll because you're

00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:22.639
going to have some very specific movies that

00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:24.179
you're going to have to watch. This is true.

00:37:24.539 --> 00:37:28.869
Hint, hint. There are... a couple of things that

00:37:28.869 --> 00:37:31.449
I've been looking for on DVD. I mean, I guess

00:37:31.449 --> 00:37:33.349
technically there's one big one that I'm looking

00:37:33.349 --> 00:37:36.610
for on DVD right now, and it's Sling Blade. I

00:37:36.610 --> 00:37:38.769
am just about done with season one of Land Man.

00:37:39.110 --> 00:37:44.809
Great show. And I want to see Billy Bob Thornton.

00:37:45.150 --> 00:37:47.570
And he was nominated for an Academy Award, I'm

00:37:47.570 --> 00:37:49.690
pretty sure, for Sling Blade. Some part of Sling

00:37:49.690 --> 00:37:52.369
Blade was nominated for an Academy Award. Because

00:37:52.369 --> 00:37:55.809
he didn't go full? I don't know. I don't know

00:37:55.809 --> 00:37:58.360
how much of a... I haven't seen the movie. I

00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:00.659
don't know if he goes full... It's been a very

00:38:00.659 --> 00:38:02.659
long time since I've seen it, but I do not believe

00:38:02.659 --> 00:38:06.219
he goes full retard in it. It won. It won the

00:38:06.219 --> 00:38:09.159
Oscar for best screenplay. Do you believe the

00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:11.920
rumors that he tried to have every copy of it

00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:15.360
buried and he's blocking it from streaming? It

00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:18.900
is streamable. Fun fact. I found out a couple

00:38:18.900 --> 00:38:22.119
of days ago that it is streamable on a streaming

00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:25.639
site that I... Don't know that I trust it's called

00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:28.079
like red current universe or something like that

00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.800
I don't know that I believe that streaming service

00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:34.719
is valid necessarily But if you think about the

00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.579
names of other streaming services Objectively,

00:38:37.900 --> 00:38:41.780
we have Pluto and Philo and flex and max and

00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:44.260
Hulu like they all kind of sound like nonsense

00:38:44.260 --> 00:38:48.719
That's true shutter There's trauma trauma. Yeah

00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:52.420
with an o five dollars a month There's lots of

00:38:52.420 --> 00:38:54.659
options and they all sound real silly. I think

00:38:54.659 --> 00:38:57.179
one month is as much as I would like. You can

00:38:57.179 --> 00:39:02.019
catch such classics as Gut Boy. I don't want

00:39:02.019 --> 00:39:07.579
to watch Gut Boy. I'm good. And what was the

00:39:07.579 --> 00:39:12.199
chicken one? Poultry Geist. Poultry Geist. Classics.

00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:14.820
For only five bucks a month studio that churns

00:39:14.820 --> 00:39:18.460
out like 20 movies a year. I think one month

00:39:18.460 --> 00:39:21.619
is enough. I think you could probably... I think

00:39:21.619 --> 00:39:24.519
that's plenty of drama. Get your fill, yeah.

00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:31.460
Did you know that there are over 25 ,000 unique

00:39:31.460 --> 00:39:34.739
Funko Pops? Feels very bad for the environment.

00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:38.760
I did not, no. And those are official Funko Pops?

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:44.719
Yes. I think that that is a ridiculous number

00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:48.480
of versions of a thing that you sell. 25 ,000

00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:51.739
is objectively too many. Okay. That said, Pokemon

00:39:51.739 --> 00:39:54.800
has 200 ,000 different iterations of their cards.

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.699
Better or worse for the environment? Pokemon

00:39:57.699 --> 00:40:00.559
cards? Yeah. Better than Funko Pops. Better than

00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:03.440
Funko Pops. Even with all the ink and everything

00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:06.800
used? The paper is still more biodegradable than

00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:09.380
the plastic and vinyl that goes into Funko Pop.

00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:13.340
The plastic coating? Wall -E will be boxing up

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:16.059
Funko Pops for eternity. I think there is a Wall

00:40:16.059 --> 00:40:19.829
-E Funko. Maybe you'll find an Eve too, like

00:40:19.829 --> 00:40:22.230
just make him kiss and stuff. Sure. He's big

00:40:22.230 --> 00:40:24.469
into the romance movies. Why not? I mean, even

00:40:24.469 --> 00:40:27.030
with the plastic coating, I'm sure a Pokemon

00:40:27.030 --> 00:40:30.329
card is more able to break down and be recycled

00:40:30.329 --> 00:40:33.010
into the earth than a Funko Pop. Although they

00:40:33.010 --> 00:40:35.929
might both be better than Beanie Babies. But

00:40:35.929 --> 00:40:39.130
they have 250 ,000 iterations of different cards?

00:40:39.550 --> 00:40:43.170
200 ,000. 200 ,000. Okay. And then, I mean, what?

00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:46.110
There's got to be thousands upon thousands of...

00:40:46.219 --> 00:40:49.139
Each individual card. Yeah, and then if there's

00:40:49.139 --> 00:40:53.039
only 25 ,000 individual Funko pops and then there's

00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:56.000
there's bound there's gonna be less Funko pops

00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:00.639
especially when Pokemon cards already have a

00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.840
hundred and seventy five thousand unit increase

00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:09.159
I See the Funko pop situation in the same way

00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:14.739
that I see the ET video game In the sense that

00:41:14.739 --> 00:41:18.139
like so One of the reasons that I was thinking

00:41:18.139 --> 00:41:21.019
about this topic for an episode was because there

00:41:21.019 --> 00:41:24.039
have been reports coming out recently about how

00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:27.099
Funko Pop might not last the year. They're not

00:41:27.099 --> 00:41:31.380
financially stable enough to carry things out

00:41:31.380 --> 00:41:33.099
the way that they're going right now for the

00:41:33.099 --> 00:41:35.559
long haul. Is this a tariff issue? I think they

00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:37.880
just oversaturated the market because they have

00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:42.360
25 ,000 Funko Pops. And every one of those comes

00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.500
with its own licensing fee. That Funko Pop has

00:41:45.500 --> 00:41:48.480
to pay to whatever entity created the character

00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:52.380
that they are making. One not important at all

00:41:52.380 --> 00:41:56.480
question. Who is the target market for a succession

00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:00.280
Funko Pop? People that are not successful. Who

00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:03.619
is that for? I've never seen the show. Maybe

00:42:03.619 --> 00:42:07.599
it is good and worth Funko Popping. But why did

00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:10.829
they make succession Funko Pops? It's good, I

00:42:10.829 --> 00:42:13.590
don't think it's worth Funko Popping. Such a

00:42:13.590 --> 00:42:16.550
weird choice. And when you start watering down

00:42:16.550 --> 00:42:19.969
a collectible item, so much so that Succession

00:42:19.969 --> 00:42:24.070
has five different versions of Funko Pops, I'm

00:42:24.070 --> 00:42:25.989
pretty sure they also make Severance Funko Pops

00:42:25.989 --> 00:42:28.170
and I'm not confident I can tell you which one

00:42:28.170 --> 00:42:31.849
is which. They're just in generic, like professional

00:42:31.849 --> 00:42:34.349
looking clothing. Just out of curiosity, I was

00:42:34.349 --> 00:42:39.369
looking up the licensing fee, the Funko Pop.

00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:43.420
base pokemon for all the funko pops that they

00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:45.579
make and i didn't think i'd find a number i just

00:42:45.579 --> 00:42:47.460
thought maybe they're being a rough estimate

00:42:47.460 --> 00:42:52.639
but uh this says funko profits by creating a

00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:54.739
large number of figures using the license the

00:42:54.739 --> 00:42:56.900
per figure cost of license becomes small when

00:42:56.900 --> 00:42:59.659
divided across the total number of figures sold

00:42:59.659 --> 00:43:03.420
such as a 200 000 licensing fee for 200 000 figures

00:43:03.420 --> 00:43:06.920
which works out to one dollar per figure cost.

00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:10.380
The Pokemon company has a strict no third -party

00:43:10.380 --> 00:43:13.800
policy for licensing requests and does not accept

00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:16.480
unsolicited pitches. Did you know that? It's

00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:20.420
not. That everything that has Pokemon on it,

00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:22.739
Pokemon reached out to them and said, hey, you

00:43:22.739 --> 00:43:24.480
want to slap our characters on there? Not to

00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:26.239
get political, but does that include the ICE

00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:30.119
recruitment videos? I don't know. They have been

00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:35.909
acting fast and loose with... the rules concerning

00:43:35.909 --> 00:43:42.250
what they can, can't do on the internet. Pokemon

00:43:42.250 --> 00:43:45.789
has been on a downhill slide with licensing since

00:43:45.789 --> 00:43:48.809
they lost to Pal World. Do you know the most

00:43:48.809 --> 00:43:53.130
expensive Funko Pops sold for $100 ,000 on the

00:43:53.130 --> 00:43:56.070
resale market? Is it a misprint? It is not. Do

00:43:56.070 --> 00:43:58.710
they forget to put like a shirt on Laura Croft,

00:43:59.030 --> 00:44:00.769
the Tomb Raider? I hope she had the triangles.

00:44:03.349 --> 00:44:06.969
You'll poke your eye out It was a set of two

00:44:06.969 --> 00:44:08.829
and from what I understand the reason that it

00:44:08.829 --> 00:44:10.730
commanded such a high price was because there

00:44:10.730 --> 00:44:14.230
were only two Around and also their gold Funko

00:44:14.230 --> 00:44:17.070
pops, which means they were painted in gold I

00:44:17.070 --> 00:44:19.769
don't know why that's all that surprising. Yeah

00:44:19.769 --> 00:44:24.110
hundred thousand dollars I had at Burger King

00:44:24.110 --> 00:44:29.369
they used to have The kids meals and that would

00:44:29.369 --> 00:44:32.599
come with a toy, right? But then they also used

00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:36.659
to do like special things that you could only

00:44:36.659 --> 00:44:39.179
get at Burger King But it was like an extra cost.

00:44:39.219 --> 00:44:44.420
Yeah, so I remember We got watches Simpsons watches

00:44:44.420 --> 00:44:46.599
from there and those weren't happy meal toys

00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:49.119
Those are like you have to go and say yeah, I'd

00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:52.500
like a cheeseburger kid's meal And then I would

00:44:52.500 --> 00:44:55.179
also like this Simpsons watch. Well, they did

00:44:55.179 --> 00:44:59.449
the same thing before that with these Pokeballs

00:44:59.449 --> 00:45:04.170
that inside of them had a Pokemon card that was

00:45:04.170 --> 00:45:07.050
like made out of some amount of gold they were

00:45:07.050 --> 00:45:08.909
heavy like you could chuck it across the room

00:45:08.909 --> 00:45:12.690
and do some damage with it and I have one I don't

00:45:12.690 --> 00:45:15.829
know where it's at but Yeah, that's pretty sweet.

00:45:16.050 --> 00:45:18.090
And I don't I don't know what it would I don't

00:45:18.090 --> 00:45:20.409
know what it would get on the market these days

00:45:20.409 --> 00:45:22.750
I was actually having a conversation about those

00:45:22.750 --> 00:45:26.809
specific things recently and the price point

00:45:26.809 --> 00:45:29.110
that we were looking at was like 25 bucks. Oh

00:45:29.110 --> 00:45:31.989
man, that's lame. Yeah, I'm looking at a set

00:45:31.989 --> 00:45:37.489
of six, 23 karat gold plated for 150. Maybe that's

00:45:37.489 --> 00:45:40.489
what could get your kid for Christmas. That was

00:45:40.489 --> 00:45:43.110
a collectible worth getting, not some plastic

00:45:43.110 --> 00:45:45.469
piece of junk. We don't get fun things like that

00:45:45.469 --> 00:45:47.449
anymore. We don't. If there was something that

00:45:47.449 --> 00:45:50.590
you could go back and collect to have now to

00:45:50.590 --> 00:45:55.090
either sell or be a point of pride, what would

00:45:55.090 --> 00:45:57.260
it be? I think video games would be really cool.

00:45:57.780 --> 00:46:00.880
If I were to keep the things, I think video games

00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:03.300
would be really cool. I've been gifted three

00:46:03.300 --> 00:46:07.840
GameCubes in my time. One of which stopped working

00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:11.300
and one of which was stolen by a former partner.

00:46:11.659 --> 00:46:16.780
What a douche. Is it Cooler Cryer? It was indeed,

00:46:16.780 --> 00:46:19.619
yes. But yeah, I think it would be really cool

00:46:19.619 --> 00:46:22.820
to go back and have like first edition versions

00:46:22.820 --> 00:46:27.630
of the Atari ET game. or Super Mario Sunshine

00:46:27.630 --> 00:46:30.309
for the GameCube, the Xbox Kinect. Yeah, I don't

00:46:30.309 --> 00:46:32.590
think... We never had an Xbox Kinect, I don't

00:46:32.590 --> 00:46:34.389
think. Because I bought... Because we had the

00:46:34.389 --> 00:46:38.889
Wii. I had the Xbox, and then I got the Xbox

00:46:38.889 --> 00:46:42.429
360, and I kept getting the Red Ring of Death.

00:46:43.050 --> 00:46:45.909
There was one time I found a guy to fix it, said

00:46:45.909 --> 00:46:47.730
that, oh, this is full proof. Like, I know exactly

00:46:47.730 --> 00:46:51.090
what to do to quit this error from popping up,

00:46:51.210 --> 00:46:56.199
whatever. So I took the... my Xbox 360 to this

00:46:56.199 --> 00:47:01.059
guy's trailer in the middle of nowhere. And he

00:47:01.059 --> 00:47:02.780
took it to a back room. He was like, oh, you

00:47:02.780 --> 00:47:06.260
can just sit down. And I sat on his couch. His

00:47:06.260 --> 00:47:10.380
wife walked out in a bra, like a nursing bra,

00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:14.219
with like one of the flaps undone. And I guess

00:47:14.219 --> 00:47:16.239
he didn't tell her that he was having company.

00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:19.019
And I got to sit on the couch awkwardly while

00:47:19.019 --> 00:47:25.690
they argued about, about... me being there. And

00:47:25.690 --> 00:47:28.510
he finishes up, I guess, and he was like, hey,

00:47:28.510 --> 00:47:30.610
man, sorry about that. You know how women are.

00:47:30.710 --> 00:47:33.309
I was like, okay. I think this is on you, bud.

00:47:33.429 --> 00:47:37.170
I don't think that was her. And took it home,

00:47:37.369 --> 00:47:38.829
worked for about three months and then got it

00:47:38.829 --> 00:47:43.289
again. And I was like, screw this. And went and

00:47:43.289 --> 00:47:47.269
got a PS3 and never looked back. Yeah, I think.

00:47:47.449 --> 00:47:50.389
You got it fixed again for me when you gave me

00:47:50.389 --> 00:47:52.750
your Xbox 360, and I think it lasted for maybe

00:47:52.750 --> 00:47:55.130
like a month. I was like, all right, no console

00:47:55.130 --> 00:47:57.550
for me. There used to be a trick where you could

00:47:57.550 --> 00:48:00.829
wrap it in a towel and let it purposefully overheat

00:48:00.829 --> 00:48:03.269
to reset it, and that would work for a little

00:48:03.269 --> 00:48:07.530
bit. But then, yeah, the Xbox 360s were crap.

00:48:08.150 --> 00:48:10.949
Great. PCs are where it's at, I'm told. No, no.

00:48:10.989 --> 00:48:13.809
Maybe that'll be a discussion for a later episode.

00:48:13.989 --> 00:48:16.809
I'm going head -to -head with your fiance about...

00:48:16.860 --> 00:48:19.139
Taylor Swift, you can go head to head with my

00:48:19.139 --> 00:48:21.980
boyfriend about video games. Bring it. Bring

00:48:21.980 --> 00:48:24.599
it on. I'll win. Debate December. Sure. All right.

00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:27.880
Actually, I think video games would be cool to

00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:30.199
collect, but so would comic books, because comic

00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:33.139
books would be really good to resell eventually.

00:48:33.500 --> 00:48:35.219
I don't know that I've ever... I don't know that

00:48:35.219 --> 00:48:38.460
I would want to have them for personal consumption

00:48:38.460 --> 00:48:40.659
because I would be afraid that I would ruin their

00:48:40.659 --> 00:48:42.500
condition, but it'd be cool to sell some of that

00:48:42.500 --> 00:48:45.559
stuff. First Prince of... or First Edition Superman

00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.440
and all that. Yeah. Um, hyper, hyper inflated.

00:48:50.059 --> 00:48:53.280
I don't, I feel like comic books are kind of

00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:56.519
like the, uh, kind of like art. Like whenever

00:48:56.519 --> 00:49:00.260
a rich person buys a painting and they say, well,

00:49:00.260 --> 00:49:03.500
it was because the value is how much someone

00:49:03.500 --> 00:49:08.019
will pay for it. And a streak on a canvas is

00:49:08.019 --> 00:49:11.579
not inherently valuable. But if someone attaches

00:49:11.579 --> 00:49:16.030
that to it, then whatever. then that is the value

00:49:16.030 --> 00:49:19.130
of it from that point on. But I feel like the

00:49:19.130 --> 00:49:22.110
same thing happened with comic books, and I think

00:49:22.110 --> 00:49:25.110
that a lot of times nowadays they're more of

00:49:25.110 --> 00:49:29.889
a money laundering scheme. Anything that is hyperinflated

00:49:29.889 --> 00:49:35.090
for not really any good reason is a little suspect.

00:49:35.389 --> 00:49:37.789
I mean, the reason in that situation would be

00:49:37.789 --> 00:49:40.690
scarcity, wouldn't it? There's so few... iterations

00:49:40.690 --> 00:49:42.849
of this comic book that still exist in general,

00:49:43.170 --> 00:49:45.090
but especially in a condition that's readable

00:49:45.090 --> 00:49:47.469
and then a condition that's meant like it hasn't

00:49:47.469 --> 00:49:49.750
actually been touched since it came out in the

00:49:49.750 --> 00:49:52.769
50s. So it's been cared for, yeah. Okay, now

00:49:52.769 --> 00:49:56.269
that makes a little more sense. But yeah, I don't

00:49:56.269 --> 00:50:00.550
know. To sell a 60 -year -old comic book that's

00:50:00.550 --> 00:50:03.090
in good condition for... What did that one go

00:50:03.090 --> 00:50:07.250
for most recently? The Superman action comic?

00:50:08.130 --> 00:50:12.639
Was it number one? from 1938 uh yeah there's

00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:16.079
action comments number action comics number one

00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:19.960
digital copy auction six million dollars six

00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:24.119
million dollars at an auction house in dallas

00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:30.519
texas cool there's a garfield showcase selling

00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:34.820
for thirteen thousand dollars right now on heritage

00:50:34.820 --> 00:50:37.699
auction i went down a rabbit hole fairly recently

00:50:37.699 --> 00:50:43.139
uh something called propstore .com and they will

00:50:43.139 --> 00:50:46.380
auction off a lot of like TV and movie props

00:50:46.380 --> 00:50:48.400
and things and the thing that I was looking at

00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:53.159
was the list from My Name is Earl and it sold

00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:56.460
for like six grand which is so interesting to

00:50:56.460 --> 00:50:58.960
me. It's essentially like although I understand

00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:02.039
it was used in the film or in the filming of

00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:05.699
the TV show which is very cool. It is a $6 ,000

00:51:05.699 --> 00:51:08.199
piece of printer paper. I get it, but I don't

00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:11.489
get it. They also had, they were selling the

00:51:11.489 --> 00:51:14.170
little riding lawnmower thing that Joy won in

00:51:14.170 --> 00:51:18.010
a beauty pageant and Earl's wallet complete with

00:51:18.010 --> 00:51:20.869
ID with his eyes closed. Log in to see sold price

00:51:20.869 --> 00:51:26.590
and a copy of his list. Propstore .com actually

00:51:26.590 --> 00:51:30.280
has been in the news recently. because James

00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:32.980
Vanderbeek is having to sell off a bunch of his

00:51:32.980 --> 00:51:37.019
memorabilia from Varsity Blues and Dawson's Creek

00:51:37.019 --> 00:51:39.820
in order to pay for his cancer treatment. So

00:51:39.820 --> 00:51:41.800
it's funny you mention that because it was just

00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:44.420
in the news like a couple days ago. Do they have

00:51:44.420 --> 00:51:46.559
like chain the chain of custody for this kind

00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:48.800
of stuff? Yeah, all of these definitely come

00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:51.980
with provenance. Good Lord. The prayer beads

00:51:51.980 --> 00:51:58.380
from Bruce Almighty are estimated to go for 2

00:51:58.380 --> 00:52:03.119
,000 to 4 ,000 euros, which if you are using

00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:12.099
freedom currency, that is $2 ,300 roughly to

00:52:12.099 --> 00:52:17.579
$4 ,600 for the beads that were used by both

00:52:17.579 --> 00:52:20.179
Jennifer Aniston and Jim Carrey and chewed on

00:52:20.179 --> 00:52:22.960
by Jim Carrey, if this is to be believed. And

00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:25.820
these are the ones he actually chewed on? They

00:52:25.820 --> 00:52:29.199
better be. Someone might try to Jim Carrey. I

00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:37.199
heard a crazy thing that Putin, as well as other

00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:41.719
world leaders, I couldn't confirm if DJT does

00:52:41.719 --> 00:52:45.300
this, but they use special toilets when they're

00:52:45.300 --> 00:52:48.699
traveling that collect their waste so that they

00:52:48.699 --> 00:52:53.860
can't be bio scanned to search for any sort of

00:52:53.860 --> 00:52:57.769
like diseases or abnormalities that they could

00:52:57.769 --> 00:53:00.789
use to swing world affairs. Isn't that bananas?

00:53:00.989 --> 00:53:06.510
That feels like the most extreme version of Drake

00:53:06.510 --> 00:53:10.590
putting hot sauce in condoms. The internet is

00:53:10.590 --> 00:53:14.170
a terrible place. It was a bad invention. I don't

00:53:14.170 --> 00:53:16.929
want to know that, but now everyone does. If

00:53:16.929 --> 00:53:20.510
it didn't exist, then the world would not be

00:53:20.510 --> 00:53:22.570
privy to the conversation we're having right

00:53:22.570 --> 00:53:26.269
now. So it's got its good. Scott's bad. Would

00:53:26.269 --> 00:53:28.969
you like Indiana Jones's whip? Oh, never mind.

00:53:28.989 --> 00:53:33.389
It already sold for $485 ,000. I would like a

00:53:33.389 --> 00:53:35.030
whip. Why are you saying it that way? Like what?

00:53:35.230 --> 00:53:37.030
Why do you say whip that way? You're saying it

00:53:37.030 --> 00:53:39.150
like you're supposed to say it. I would like

00:53:39.150 --> 00:53:42.269
Indiana Jones's whip. Stop it. Stop what? Stop.

00:53:42.510 --> 00:53:45.489
Stop what? I think it would be really cool also

00:53:45.489 --> 00:53:49.230
to have like a collection of like props and things

00:53:49.230 --> 00:53:53.070
if I had a house with like extra space for displaying

00:53:53.070 --> 00:53:56.090
stuff, but I also for the same reason. I don't

00:53:56.090 --> 00:53:58.070
want to pay that much for something that's just

00:53:58.070 --> 00:54:01.670
going to sit there. Like when John Oliver bought

00:54:01.670 --> 00:54:05.530
the Cinderella Man jockstrap from Russell Crowe's

00:54:05.530 --> 00:54:08.789
estate sale before sale. I did not know that

00:54:08.789 --> 00:54:12.570
was a thing. I mean, I guess it makes sense that

00:54:12.570 --> 00:54:16.070
he held onto it, but I would not have guessed

00:54:16.070 --> 00:54:18.050
that that was a purchasable item. I would have

00:54:18.050 --> 00:54:20.369
taken something from Gladiator. That would be

00:54:20.369 --> 00:54:24.420
cool. What is your ideal Prop purchase. Ideal

00:54:24.420 --> 00:54:28.340
prop purchase. Anton Shiger's cattle stunner.

00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:32.599
Joker costume. Which one? That'd be cool. I like

00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:35.280
the purple suit. Okay. So like Nicholson era?

00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:39.639
Oh, no. Like Ledger, Dark Knight. What else?

00:54:40.179 --> 00:54:43.820
What else? What else? What else? A can of Dapper

00:54:43.820 --> 00:54:46.940
Dan from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. God damn

00:54:46.940 --> 00:54:48.880
it, I'm a Dapper Dan man. I'm gonna need you

00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:51.659
to watch your language. I can order for you,

00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:53.699
but it doesn't take about two weeks. I tried

00:54:53.699 --> 00:54:57.420
sitting Max down. It was just me and him. The

00:54:57.420 --> 00:55:02.739
girls were out doing their thing. And I told

00:55:02.739 --> 00:55:05.460
them, hey man, give it 10 minutes. If you're

00:55:05.460 --> 00:55:08.940
not about it, we'll turn it off. 10 minutes in.

00:55:09.179 --> 00:55:13.219
How are you feeling? I think maybe I'm just not

00:55:13.219 --> 00:55:16.000
old enough yet. I'm not old enough to understand

00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:18.900
it. I said, okay, that's fair. That's fair. So

00:55:18.900 --> 00:55:20.679
we turned it off and we turned on space balls

00:55:20.679 --> 00:55:25.400
and he loved it. I have recruited Nate for my

00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:30.420
DVD collecting and the first DVD that he purchased

00:55:30.420 --> 00:55:32.619
was Spaceballs. He's adding important things

00:55:32.619 --> 00:55:35.500
to our collection. Spaceballs the DVD? Spaceballs

00:55:35.500 --> 00:55:40.739
the DVD. Well, whenever y 'all are back stateside,

00:55:41.380 --> 00:55:44.019
y 'all can go through my stuff and see what you're

00:55:44.019 --> 00:55:45.679
interested in. I'll let you know if I'm willing

00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:51.269
to part ways with it. I found a DVD on Facebook

00:55:51.269 --> 00:55:53.489
Marketplace of Slingblade, but it's in Azel,

00:55:53.630 --> 00:55:56.730
which is 180 miles from me and also very far

00:55:56.730 --> 00:55:59.190
from Nate. But one of these days, it's only $4.

00:55:59.789 --> 00:56:01.449
What a deal. They don't know what they have.

00:56:01.550 --> 00:56:02.789
They don't know what they were selling. Yeah.

00:56:02.949 --> 00:56:05.230
Have you ever fell into the trap of ordering

00:56:05.230 --> 00:56:11.409
a DVD or a video game off of the internet, like

00:56:11.409 --> 00:56:13.610
off eBay or something like that, and you get

00:56:13.610 --> 00:56:18.719
it and it is region locked? I don't. I think

00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:22.059
I've ever run into that problem. I am very picky

00:56:22.059 --> 00:56:24.239
about what I'll purchase off of eBay because

00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:27.019
I don't trust most people on eBay. That happened

00:56:27.019 --> 00:56:32.900
to me. This was a long time ago. And are you

00:56:32.900 --> 00:56:38.940
aware of the game Leisure Suit Larry? Yes. Well...

00:56:40.190 --> 00:56:44.570
In the United States, you could only get on the

00:56:44.570 --> 00:56:50.329
Xbox the mature version of Leisure Suit Larry

00:56:50.329 --> 00:56:54.309
on the Xbox. On the computer, you could get the

00:56:54.309 --> 00:56:57.889
AO version, which I heard was just balls to the

00:56:57.889 --> 00:57:00.989
wall. And for those that don't know, it is a

00:57:00.989 --> 00:57:06.849
step above mature, and it's adult only. And I

00:57:06.849 --> 00:57:09.840
was not an adult, but... Luckily eBay didn't

00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:15.199
have very good verification at the time But if

00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:21.019
you I found a copy of it that I on eBay that

00:57:21.019 --> 00:57:27.059
was Xbox 360 but it was the AO version and I

00:57:27.059 --> 00:57:29.360
didn't realize that that version was banned in

00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:33.440
the US So I ordered it it arrives put it in my

00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:37.219
Xbox. Oh your region locked can't use it I'd

00:57:37.219 --> 00:57:40.750
have a British Xbox 360 in order to play this

00:57:40.750 --> 00:57:43.769
game that was perfectly readable by the Xbox

00:57:43.769 --> 00:57:49.110
360 But the only way you could use it is if it

00:57:49.110 --> 00:57:55.389
was a British 360 Feels a little silly real silly,

00:57:55.389 --> 00:57:57.050
but that's the only time I've really run into

00:57:57.050 --> 00:57:59.469
that I don't think I ran into that on any DVD

00:57:59.469 --> 00:58:03.090
things But region locking is stupid. I think

00:58:03.090 --> 00:58:07.030
I've only ever purchased one movie off of eBay

00:58:07.030 --> 00:58:14.699
for myself And that was Idiocracy. It was my

00:58:14.699 --> 00:58:17.599
favorite movie at the time. And honestly, it's

00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:20.619
still up there, but now it has a different tone

00:58:20.619 --> 00:58:23.280
behind it. Every day we get a little bit closer

00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:28.940
to President Herbert Mountain Dew Comancho. Who

00:58:28.940 --> 00:58:32.199
knew that Mike Judge was a fortune teller. He

00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:35.199
also nailed it with the Crocs. He did. There's

00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:38.329
a lot of stuff from that movie that is Real,

00:58:38.329 --> 00:58:41.289
uh, prophesizing. It's pretty crazy. I still,

00:58:41.570 --> 00:58:43.769
I think that is one of the movies that is the

00:58:43.769 --> 00:58:46.789
most like referenced in my household, or it's

00:58:46.789 --> 00:58:49.050
the one that I like, I find connections to the

00:58:49.050 --> 00:58:50.809
most often. I don't know the last time I went

00:58:50.809 --> 00:58:54.010
to a Costco, but every time I hear about how

00:58:54.010 --> 00:58:56.690
a retail store has a rule that you have to be,

00:58:57.070 --> 00:58:58.969
you have to smile at a guest when they're within

00:58:58.969 --> 00:59:01.530
a certain distance from you. And if they get

00:59:01.530 --> 00:59:04.030
within a closer distance, you have to say hello.

00:59:04.409 --> 00:59:06.570
It's the 10 -4 rule. How are you today? I always

00:59:06.570 --> 00:59:08.769
think, welcome to Costco. I love you. I love

00:59:08.769 --> 00:59:14.690
you. We were just recently at a Fuddruckers.

00:59:14.929 --> 00:59:17.210
There's not many left in the country, but there

00:59:17.210 --> 00:59:19.150
is one right down the street from me right now.

00:59:19.730 --> 00:59:22.849
Yeah. And we went to Fuddruckers and the whole

00:59:22.849 --> 00:59:26.630
time I was thinking about the fact that they

00:59:26.630 --> 00:59:28.730
are going to slowly transition into something

00:59:28.730 --> 00:59:31.650
that does not say Fuddruckers. And when it does

00:59:31.650 --> 00:59:33.909
make that transition, I don't think that I would

00:59:33.949 --> 00:59:36.730
want to eat there any longer. That is probably

00:59:36.730 --> 00:59:38.510
a good idea. They were still having kids birthday

00:59:38.510 --> 00:59:41.449
parties so it'll be worth checking out. Have

00:59:41.449 --> 00:59:45.250
you ever heard of this some folks call it sling

00:59:45.250 --> 00:59:47.630
blade? I have. Call it a sling blade? That is

00:59:47.630 --> 00:59:50.210
only because I looked it up on Half Price Books

00:59:50.210 --> 00:59:52.210
thinking I was gonna cheat the system and find

00:59:52.210 --> 00:59:54.550
a copy of the DVD. The only thing that popped

00:59:54.550 --> 00:59:58.570
up was they call it sling blade. Some people

00:59:58.570 --> 01:00:01.090
call it a sling blade. It has Molly Ringwald

01:00:01.090 --> 01:00:04.110
in it and it is a short. that was the inspiration

01:00:04.110 --> 01:00:06.510
for the movie. Is Molly Ringwald in the movie?

01:00:06.690 --> 01:00:10.230
I don't know. I don't have access to this movie.

01:00:10.409 --> 01:00:13.010
Does not look like it, but does have Dwight Yoakam.

01:00:13.210 --> 01:00:15.510
Did you know that he wrote it and directed it?

01:00:15.829 --> 01:00:19.269
I did. Huh. I've been deep down the rabbit hole

01:00:19.269 --> 01:00:21.449
on the lore of Slingblade for as long as I've

01:00:21.449 --> 01:00:23.369
been looking for this DVD. Maybe we'll have a

01:00:23.369 --> 01:00:25.530
live watch party whenever you track it down.

01:00:25.570 --> 01:00:27.710
I would love that. Oh, and John Ritter. Nice.

01:00:27.929 --> 01:00:29.929
All right. Well, you got anything else for this

01:00:29.929 --> 01:00:34.349
episode? One other... Fun little fact the most

01:00:34.349 --> 01:00:37.929
expensive Pokemon card that's been sold as far

01:00:37.929 --> 01:00:42.230
as we know to date was a Pikachu I think it said

01:00:42.230 --> 01:00:44.409
it was like an illustrator 10 I don't know what

01:00:44.409 --> 01:00:46.849
that means that was sold for five point two million

01:00:46.849 --> 01:00:49.929
dollars wanna guess to who to whom Jeff Bezos

01:00:49.929 --> 01:00:55.949
no Mark Zuckerberg is a YouTuber influencer PewDiePie

01:00:55.949 --> 01:01:01.929
suicide glamorizer Logan Paul Logan Paul And

01:01:01.929 --> 01:01:05.130
the last little bit of information that I had

01:01:05.130 --> 01:01:09.050
was that when you think of Beanie Babies and

01:01:09.050 --> 01:01:11.250
you think of their value these days, what do

01:01:11.250 --> 01:01:13.849
you think is the most valuable Beanie Baby? I

01:01:13.849 --> 01:01:19.590
mean, the most obvious one would be the Princess

01:01:19.590 --> 01:01:22.630
Diana one. That bear is worth almost nothing

01:01:22.630 --> 01:01:25.909
these days. I believe it. There are some that

01:01:25.909 --> 01:01:29.050
are being sold for upwards of a half million

01:01:29.050 --> 01:01:31.650
dollars. But whenever I looked it up earlier,

01:01:31.650 --> 01:01:34.230
I found some that were being sold for like 20

01:01:34.230 --> 01:01:38.449
or 30 with the tag. Tag still intact? Tag intact.

01:01:38.690 --> 01:01:41.690
They still looked like a decent, they were in

01:01:41.690 --> 01:01:44.489
good quality. Emily had one. There's a million

01:01:44.489 --> 01:01:48.550
dollar Diana Bear. Good Lord. Emily had one and

01:01:48.550 --> 01:01:52.670
the first thing she did was rip the tag off,

01:01:52.829 --> 01:01:54.250
but I guess it worked out. That was her retirement.

01:01:54.650 --> 01:01:57.309
I know. Well, should have told her when she was...

01:01:58.910 --> 01:02:03.269
Five four when was the one was the Diana stuff?

01:02:04.409 --> 01:02:07.909
Yeah, 97 so probably like 98 99 so she would

01:02:07.909 --> 01:02:10.550
have been like older than that but not by much

01:02:10.550 --> 01:02:15.110
so I don't know My suggestion is if you like

01:02:15.110 --> 01:02:17.570
it you can afford it. You don't let it take over

01:02:17.570 --> 01:02:20.570
your life Do what you want to do. We're not here

01:02:20.570 --> 01:02:23.690
to yuck people's yums We're not wanna go camping

01:02:23.690 --> 01:02:26.489
outside the GameStop every Tuesday. Do you do

01:02:26.489 --> 01:02:28.570
you? We're allowed to have our opinions though.

01:02:28.829 --> 01:02:31.210
Remember that. We are. And I support those people

01:02:31.210 --> 01:02:33.710
hanging out outside the GameStop. And I think

01:02:33.710 --> 01:02:35.469
that their time could probably be better used

01:02:35.469 --> 01:02:38.590
somewhere else like curing cancer or solving

01:02:38.590 --> 01:02:43.570
world hunger. But hey, you get your holographic

01:02:43.570 --> 01:02:46.250
Mew first edition. I want a holographic first

01:02:46.250 --> 01:02:48.710
edition Mew. Well. Alright, looks like I'm whipping

01:02:48.710 --> 01:02:50.829
out the lawn chair. There you go. Alright, and

01:02:50.829 --> 01:02:53.449
with that. Remember kids, do good things and

01:02:53.449 --> 01:02:55.710
good things happen. Peace out Girl Scouts. See

01:02:55.710 --> 01:02:55.909
ya.
