00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:13.580
Hey everyone, welcome back to The Main Mike.

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.120
My name's Harper. And I'm Mackenzie. And it's

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:22.600
spring break! I am so excited for a much -needed

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.179
one -week break from school. Yes. Midterms are

00:00:26.179 --> 00:00:27.920
coming up, though, and I'm not excited about

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.159
that. Me neither. A lot. I hate tests. Yeah.

00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.700
I mean, uh... I have like an essay for a midterm,

00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:41.340
and I have a test. And I don't even know if one

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:45.560
of my classes is even doing a midterm, but not

00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.119
really excited. I don't know if any of my classes

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.399
are doing midterms. I mean, I have an online

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.280
class that just does discussions, and I'm sure

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.659
I'm going to have to write like a creative writing

00:00:57.659 --> 00:01:00.679
story for that class. But other than that, I

00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.260
don't think we have any. Really? Yeah. Well,

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:07.840
okay, so, so far, the midterm that I have, which

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.079
this is such a boring topic, I'm so sorry to,

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.140
like, stress you guys about this, but we have

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:15.060
to do a test based on everything we've learned

00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:17.439
in, like, the first half of the semester, which

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.760
I haven't done that since high school. Oof. Yeah.

00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:30.379
But, but, unlike more happy news, I guess, it's

00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:33.150
spring break, but it's... Also St. Patrick's

00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:35.950
Day coming up. So there are going to be a bunch

00:01:35.950 --> 00:01:37.909
of parades. There are going to be a bunch of,

00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:44.109
like, I don't want to say bar hopping, but for

00:01:44.109 --> 00:01:47.930
some students that may be applicable. Applicable?

00:01:50.390 --> 00:01:53.370
Applicable? Applicable? Yeah, applicable, I think.

00:01:57.549 --> 00:02:02.700
Anyway. But to get things rolling, Mackenzie.

00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:05.760
Yes. Do you have much going on during spring

00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.539
break? No, not really. Just working all week.

00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:15.840
Yep. Same. Zach, are you happy? I'm kidding.

00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.500
Yeah. Do you think you'll be busy at your work?

00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:25.039
I mean, don't want to dock to you, but where

00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.870
do you work? So. My parents own a cleaning company,

00:02:30.050 --> 00:02:34.129
so I work for them cleaning random office buildings

00:02:34.129 --> 00:02:38.669
around Overland Park, basically. Yeah. So the

00:02:38.669 --> 00:02:41.169
businesses that we clean, they like to have parties.

00:02:41.710 --> 00:02:44.349
So 10 times out of 10, they're going to have

00:02:44.349 --> 00:02:46.750
a St. Patrick's Day party, and I'm going to have

00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:49.810
to clean up all of the chips on the floor and

00:02:49.810 --> 00:02:53.949
all the wrappers and everything. So it'll probably

00:02:53.949 --> 00:02:59.509
be a little busier for me. Uh, but it's not too

00:02:59.509 --> 00:03:03.870
bad. It's usually pretty, pretty easy. Do you

00:03:03.870 --> 00:03:07.669
get tips through that? No. Damn. It's, uh, it's,

00:03:07.750 --> 00:03:09.530
like, late night stuff, so they're usually not

00:03:09.530 --> 00:03:11.889
there. So it's, like, hourly? Yeah. Oh, okay.

00:03:11.949 --> 00:03:15.129
So I'm, like, there for, like, at the most four

00:03:15.129 --> 00:03:19.770
hours. Yeah, well, I work at a brewery, so the

00:03:19.770 --> 00:03:22.250
one day that's gonna be busy is probably day

00:03:22.250 --> 00:03:24.969
of St. Patrick's Day. Yeah. And I don't work

00:03:24.969 --> 00:03:32.509
until Tuesday. That sucks. I mean, the Tuesdays

00:03:32.509 --> 00:03:36.490
that we have are hosted by Trivia, and I don't

00:03:36.490 --> 00:03:39.889
really favor those due to the fact that everyone

00:03:39.889 --> 00:03:42.150
sits down at the same time, everyone orders drinks

00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:44.250
at the same time, everyone orders food at the

00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:47.389
same time, and then the bartenders get backed

00:03:47.389 --> 00:03:51.009
up and the kitchen gets backed up. So it's just

00:03:51.009 --> 00:03:57.409
a huge thing, and usually my, like... Tables

00:03:57.409 --> 00:04:00.490
are upset with the fact that everything is slower

00:04:00.490 --> 00:04:02.289
than usual, but they have to understand that

00:04:02.289 --> 00:04:04.689
everyone literally sat down at the exact same

00:04:04.689 --> 00:04:10.270
time. Yeah. I hated that working in food. Some

00:04:10.270 --> 00:04:13.789
people don't have any grace for the servers or

00:04:13.789 --> 00:04:17.750
anyone. So I've been yelled at multiple times,

00:04:17.889 --> 00:04:20.790
and the only food I've worked in is literally

00:04:20.790 --> 00:04:24.209
Zaxby's. Really? Yeah. I mean, I feel like that's

00:04:24.209 --> 00:04:26.589
not even, like, the worst place, isn't it? Like

00:04:26.589 --> 00:04:30.410
part fast food? Yeah, it's technically just fast

00:04:30.410 --> 00:04:32.529
food, but working the front counter, you also

00:04:32.529 --> 00:04:35.790
have to run people's food to them. If it's too,

00:04:35.810 --> 00:04:38.209
too busy, you can just call them up to get their

00:04:38.209 --> 00:04:41.930
food. But usually I was a runner and a cashier,

00:04:41.930 --> 00:04:44.829
and I've had people come up and yell at me. I

00:04:44.829 --> 00:04:48.790
had this man, we were like waiting on grilled

00:04:48.790 --> 00:04:51.529
chicken, and he had ordered a salad for him and

00:04:51.529 --> 00:04:54.769
his wife, and it was taking like... forever so

00:04:54.769 --> 00:04:57.470
he came up to the counter while I'm just standing

00:04:57.470 --> 00:04:59.550
there and like I can't do anything but sit there

00:04:59.550 --> 00:05:02.290
and wait he came to the counter and he was banging

00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:05.290
the little thingy to hold their number card on

00:05:05.290 --> 00:05:08.629
there and he was banging on the um the counter

00:05:08.629 --> 00:05:12.050
he was like why is it taking so long like we've

00:05:12.050 --> 00:05:14.810
been waiting here forever and I'm like well it

00:05:14.810 --> 00:05:16.550
takes a while to get the grilled chicken out

00:05:16.550 --> 00:05:20.930
and while he was banging on the counter yelling

00:05:20.930 --> 00:05:26.259
at me his food came out right behind me. That's

00:05:26.259 --> 00:05:29.079
too funny. I was honestly standing there laughing,

00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:31.480
but I had my back turned to him so that he wouldn't

00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.079
see me laughing. But I had to call my manager

00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.720
up there anyway, but I did ask him if he wanted

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.540
the food, and I was trying very hard not to laugh.

00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.819
He's like, do you want the food that just came

00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:47.040
out right behind me? I was like, your food's

00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.279
right here. Do you want it? I don't ever understand

00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.250
why people... are, like, are obsessed with being

00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:56.970
upset at fast food restaurant workers. Yeah.

00:05:57.470 --> 00:05:59.769
Like, I completely understand if it's, like,

00:05:59.790 --> 00:06:02.089
you're at a fast food restaurant and it takes

00:06:02.089 --> 00:06:06.069
30, 45 minutes, but usually it's, like, I mean,

00:06:06.089 --> 00:06:10.449
like, 20 minutes max is usually, like, how long

00:06:10.449 --> 00:06:12.810
it takes for fast food. Mm -hmm. And, I mean,

00:06:12.810 --> 00:06:15.730
I'd prefer for my food to be hot anyway, so I'll

00:06:15.730 --> 00:06:19.759
wait. I will wait. And, like... Fast food is

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.420
typically run by teenagers, so I think they should

00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:26.839
definitely have some grace for the teens that

00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.540
are working the counter and all that, because

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:33.620
I was like 16, 17. Oh, my gosh. No, yeah, my

00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:36.600
first job was at Tropical Smoothie Cafe. That

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.199
sounds really good to have right now. No, I know,

00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:45.220
right? Honestly, I didn't really favor my coworkers,

00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:53.160
but... They were pretty flexible on schedule

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.439
because I was a teenager, but also I was a workaholic

00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.079
in high school. I much preferred working than

00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.920
going to school. Me too. I still kind of do.

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.259
I still really enjoy the whole working aspect

00:07:07.259 --> 00:07:09.920
rather than going to school, but I much prefer

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:14.480
a long -term staying in school education than

00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.939
not doing anything at all. I just like to be

00:07:17.939 --> 00:07:21.420
out of the house, like if it's at work or if

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:25.259
it's at school. I mean, work is fine, but sometimes

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:27.879
it gets a little, okay, I don't want to be here

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.459
anymore. Very overwhelming, for sure, for sure.

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.560
Yeah, I mean, I guess, I mean, I just started

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.459
this job, but I've been in the food industry,

00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:42.310
obviously, since I was like 14. Not really counting

00:07:42.310 --> 00:07:45.430
the summers where I would lifeguard or, I mean,

00:07:45.430 --> 00:07:47.209
there are times where I would nanny as well.

00:07:47.629 --> 00:07:50.290
That's, like, my three main jobs is food service,

00:07:50.430 --> 00:07:53.490
nannying, and lifeguard. And usually I got, like,

00:07:53.529 --> 00:07:58.290
nannying jobs from being a lifeguard. So it really

00:07:58.290 --> 00:08:01.910
just depends on, like, I guess the stages of

00:08:01.910 --> 00:08:05.790
life. Like, everyone, I feel like everyone has

00:08:05.790 --> 00:08:09.269
to have a fast food job. or like either fast

00:08:09.269 --> 00:08:11.930
food or like retail or like grocery store yeah

00:08:11.930 --> 00:08:14.750
I've seen so many like young kids like as like

00:08:14.750 --> 00:08:21.910
grocery baggers sorry what I was just looking

00:08:21.910 --> 00:08:23.949
around I was not paying attention for a second

00:08:23.949 --> 00:08:27.850
um yeah I've never worked in grocery though I've

00:08:27.850 --> 00:08:33.720
only done fast food and cleaning that's it I

00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.899
honestly feel like cleaning would be such a cool

00:08:35.899 --> 00:08:39.100
job to have. It's like therapeutic for me. I

00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:43.399
can't clean my own space, but I 100 % will clean

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.440
any one of my friends' houses or apartments.

00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.679
I do that too. But it can be like, since you're

00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.000
cleaning up after strangers, it's just a little

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.980
weird. Sometimes it's like you don't realize

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:57.820
how dirty people actually are until you start

00:08:57.820 --> 00:09:01.259
cleaning up after office workers. And not to

00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:05.190
like... Get on any office workers out there.

00:09:05.269 --> 00:09:08.889
But, like, not all of them are clean people.

00:09:09.870 --> 00:09:14.850
It can get really dirty. Yeah, especially the

00:09:14.850 --> 00:09:17.590
bathrooms. Sometimes I just don't understand.

00:09:17.970 --> 00:09:20.450
Oh, my. I was not even thinking about bathrooms.

00:09:21.529 --> 00:09:27.309
Praying for you. Like, ew. It's disgusting. I'm

00:09:27.309 --> 00:09:30.740
glad I'm not, like. The designated bathroom cleaner,

00:09:30.940 --> 00:09:35.039
but sometimes I have to clean them, and the smell

00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:40.639
is the worst thing ever. Yeah? Yeah, it's terrible.

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:43.620
Do you have any homework assignments due over

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:48.679
the spring break? No, I don't think I do. I mean,

00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.600
I have a couple that I can work on, but for my

00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.029
online class, she assigned... homework over spring

00:09:55.029 --> 00:09:58.429
break but the the week after she didn't assign

00:09:58.429 --> 00:10:04.149
any but i mean that might i don't know she probably

00:10:04.149 --> 00:10:06.909
just got the days wrong doesn't even matter i

00:10:06.909 --> 00:10:08.889
don't have i don't think i have anything due

00:10:08.889 --> 00:10:11.350
during spring break but i'll probably work on

00:10:11.350 --> 00:10:14.330
things that are due afterwards but getting into

00:10:14.330 --> 00:10:19.690
it um there are some events coming up yep and

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:28.399
We do have an eSports club every Monday at 5

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.899
p .m. in the CoLab. Why would it be at 5 a .m.?

00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:39.980
I do not know any gamers that are actively waking

00:10:39.980 --> 00:10:42.419
up at 4 in the morning. I was, like, not thinking.

00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.360
Well, I mean, like, probably not waking up, but

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.320
staying up all night. Staying up all night, yeah,

00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:51.909
but, like, why would they? Never mind. I'm biting

00:10:51.909 --> 00:10:53.570
my tongue on this. I'm not thinking. They would

00:10:53.570 --> 00:10:55.629
stay up. They would stay up for a 5 a .m. meeting.

00:10:56.009 --> 00:10:58.110
But they would not actively want to leave their

00:10:58.110 --> 00:11:00.110
house. I would not want to actively leave my

00:11:00.110 --> 00:11:02.470
house at 5 in the morning. Me neither. Kudos

00:11:02.470 --> 00:11:05.250
to those who do. Especially, like, people who

00:11:05.250 --> 00:11:09.029
do those, like, morning jogs. I could not. I

00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:10.909
tried to do that. It doesn't work out. Really?

00:11:11.889 --> 00:11:13.669
I wouldn't mind going on, like, morning walks.

00:11:13.870 --> 00:11:18.870
But, you know. I mean, speaking of, like, Johnson

00:11:18.870 --> 00:11:21.580
County, like. i guess things that are going on

00:11:21.580 --> 00:11:24.340
there's still a vase drive it's been going on

00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:28.419
for the entirety of march but it is ending i

00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:31.899
guess march 31st so since it's the middle of

00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:34.600
march and we won't talk to you guys until after

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.779
spring break uh we just wanted to mention that

00:11:36.779 --> 00:11:38.759
again just to make sure that you guys know if

00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:42.600
you have any vases or maybe want to go to your

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.870
local thrift store buy those vases for like I

00:11:45.870 --> 00:11:48.669
guess they're like $2 a piece possibly. Probably.

00:11:48.669 --> 00:11:50.950
And then donate those to the local vase drive.

00:11:51.169 --> 00:11:53.950
I have absolutely no idea what they would do

00:11:53.950 --> 00:11:57.450
with them, but if they have a reason to collect

00:11:57.450 --> 00:12:01.490
vases, then it's for a good cause. Yeah. I mean,

00:12:01.509 --> 00:12:03.590
I have a couple of vases in my home I could probably

00:12:03.590 --> 00:12:07.389
give away. I used to be such a vase collector,

00:12:07.590 --> 00:12:11.269
so there are some that are at my mom's house

00:12:11.269 --> 00:12:15.139
that I 100 % am not. going to be able to throw

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:19.659
away. Well, you got the bass drive. Give them

00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:22.360
away. I know. I got to go through that little

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.440
collection of mine and then go ahead and, you

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.759
know, get rid of all the, you know, tiny separate,

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:36.379
I guess the, what are they? The decanter pots

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:39.460
where you like grow your own plants. I have way

00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:42.620
too many of those. My grandma has, like, a bunch

00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:45.159
of these, like, giant pots for all the stuff

00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.940
that she grows. But, like, she's not really growing

00:12:47.940 --> 00:12:51.840
anything, so. I mean, I used to be really into,

00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:54.919
like, it was my thing during COVID, growing plants.

00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:59.259
I grew an orange tree and a lime tree. That's

00:12:59.259 --> 00:13:01.159
cool. Wait, how long have you been since COVID?

00:13:02.019 --> 00:13:04.440
Yeah, it was, like, my little hobby during COVID.

00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.519
All the plants are at my mom's house, but I live

00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:13.379
in an apartment now, so I don't. I don't have

00:13:13.379 --> 00:13:19.320
the access to grow a plant. I can't grow an orange

00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:26.320
tree or a lime tree anymore. I'm stuck to tiny

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:32.700
little air plants. I also have a cat, so if I

00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:38.000
get too big of a plant potter, he'll kind of

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.190
use it as a litter box. I know. And I've tried

00:13:41.190 --> 00:13:43.230
the fork method where you like stab forks into

00:13:43.230 --> 00:13:46.289
it, like plastic forks. He doesn't care. He'll

00:13:46.289 --> 00:13:47.629
lift it up and I'll drop it on the floor and

00:13:47.629 --> 00:13:50.289
then I have to clean up dirt. So it's kind of

00:13:50.289 --> 00:13:53.049
an irritating cycle of what to do and what not

00:13:53.049 --> 00:13:57.789
to do with vases. Yeah. But I mean, I don't know.

00:13:58.230 --> 00:14:02.350
I have like two, two main vases that I keep at

00:14:02.350 --> 00:14:05.950
my apartment for like, you know, flowers to brighten

00:14:05.950 --> 00:14:10.340
up the space. I also now. I dehydrate my flowers

00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:14.700
once I get them. Okay. So before they die and

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:18.379
are, you know, like you have to throw them away,

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:23.220
I have tried multiple methods, and the way that

00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:27.940
I have been able to dry them the best is I have

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:30.840
a drawer, and I put them on a couple paper towels,

00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:32.620
and then I just sit them in the drawer, and I

00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:35.279
close the drawer, and I forget about it. And

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.769
that's like... And I forget about it. And like,

00:14:39.809 --> 00:14:43.870
that's the best way for me to dry plants. But

00:14:43.870 --> 00:14:47.509
for some flowers, I have noticed that it kind

00:14:47.509 --> 00:14:51.269
of just flattens them on like one side. So I've

00:14:51.269 --> 00:14:53.929
tried the hang dry method. I just have a cat.

00:14:54.269 --> 00:14:58.909
So it's a bit difficult because he'll start swatting

00:14:58.909 --> 00:15:03.210
at it and he'll think it's a toy. So it's a bit

00:15:03.210 --> 00:15:05.250
irritating in that sense. But I mean, I really

00:15:05.250 --> 00:15:09.000
enjoy. different types of growing plants and

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.340
then also preserving them. You sound very knowledgeable

00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:17.899
with it all, honestly. I'm not. I'm a trial and

00:15:17.899 --> 00:15:21.080
error kind of person when it comes to plants.

00:15:21.299 --> 00:15:24.159
Well, that's how you learn. I have one of those,

00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:26.700
I think it's called a blooming cactus, and then

00:15:26.700 --> 00:15:29.220
I have a plant, I have no idea what it is, but

00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:31.659
it's growing really tall because it's not in

00:15:31.659 --> 00:15:33.600
sunlight that it should be, but it's not dying.

00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:37.960
It's not like... It has enough water, so, I mean,

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.940
I don't know. I put those two in the same pot

00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:43.279
together to be able to, like, keep them, like,

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.360
growing. So I only have to, like, water one plant

00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.899
at a time. Mm -hmm. I mean, my dad also has this

00:15:50.899 --> 00:15:54.779
giant plant in his room, but, I mean, I forget

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:59.259
to water it because it's not my plant. Eh. Yeah.

00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:04.779
My poinsettias finally died. They are a... I

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:08.299
got them back in November, and they died this...

00:16:08.299 --> 00:16:11.240
Yeah, literally, like, it's March. They died,

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.679
like, two days ago. That's sad. Yeah. I mean,

00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:18.440
they are only a temporary plant. Yeah. If I kept

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.580
the roots for them, I could have regrown them.

00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:25.399
However, they are... They thrive in winter weather.

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:30.519
Mm -hmm. And the summer heat would dry them out,

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.009
no matter how much water I would give them. I've

00:16:34.009 --> 00:16:38.690
been wanting to grow cilantro. Really? Yes. I

00:16:38.690 --> 00:16:41.090
used to have cilantro plants at my childhood

00:16:41.090 --> 00:16:43.850
home. We'd have basil, cilantro, like, peppermint

00:16:43.850 --> 00:16:47.789
leaves or, like, mint leaves. Yeah. So those

00:16:47.789 --> 00:16:49.070
were, like, the three. And then we had those,

00:16:49.129 --> 00:16:54.909
like, I can't. Like, the really thin onions,

00:16:55.090 --> 00:16:57.230
you know, the long onions where, like, they don't

00:16:57.230 --> 00:16:59.789
have the ball of onion but, like, just. The green

00:16:59.789 --> 00:17:02.350
onion? Is that what it is? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.099
I think. Just a long green one. Long green one.

00:17:07.299 --> 00:17:09.039
They kind of look like. It has a little ball

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.319
on the end. Just a small one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.819
yeah. And it's white. Yeah. Yep. We would grow

00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:16.799
those. Okay. I want to grow those too because

00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.859
I like those. Because I want to do cilantro,

00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:23.359
the green onions, and then tomatoes. Ooh. I tried

00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:28.559
tomatoes. We had bunnies. Oh. So. We have squirrels

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.799
everywhere. I guess just get a cage to wrap around

00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:36.680
it. That might be nice. But also, we did find

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.440
in my old house the backyard. I guess at my mom's

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.660
house, not my old house. But at my mom's house,

00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:46.380
there are wild strawberries that grow. So that's

00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:48.960
a plus. We just have to figure out how to keep

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.599
them from growing in certain areas because, I

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.500
mean, they're kind of like taking over our entire

00:17:56.500 --> 00:18:00.500
backyard. But, I mean, the Spring Base Drive

00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:03.759
isn't the only thing that's going on. We also

00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.059
have multiple conventions, not at Johnson County,

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:11.079
but in the Johnson County area. Like you mentioned

00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.339
NACA Con. Yeah, NACA Con. That's this weekend

00:18:14.339 --> 00:18:20.779
on Friday the 14th. So it's the 14th to the 16th,

00:18:20.779 --> 00:18:24.309
and it's like. A giant anime convention, basically.

00:18:24.670 --> 00:18:27.289
And there's so many little tiny events. There's

00:18:27.289 --> 00:18:31.230
a maid cafe. I'm a little sad because I haven't

00:18:31.230 --> 00:18:33.630
been able to get a ticket to go to it before.

00:18:33.809 --> 00:18:36.349
But I still want to try it so bad because they

00:18:36.349 --> 00:18:39.710
always have the tea and the food. And I want

00:18:39.710 --> 00:18:41.789
to go and try it. And then you have the girls

00:18:41.789 --> 00:18:44.650
dressed up in the maid outfits and everything.

00:18:45.269 --> 00:18:47.390
It's an experience. I really want to see it.

00:18:50.029 --> 00:18:53.329
But other than that, I usually, like, chill in

00:18:53.329 --> 00:18:55.490
the vendor hall at the convention. But there's

00:18:55.490 --> 00:18:58.849
so much more going on with, like, the gaming

00:18:58.849 --> 00:19:02.470
and the little concerts close to the end, like,

00:19:02.549 --> 00:19:08.609
on Sunday. What kind of concerts? Just, like,

00:19:08.710 --> 00:19:13.089
it's like an end of the convention celebration,

00:19:13.430 --> 00:19:15.910
kind of like an after party kind of thing. Are

00:19:15.910 --> 00:19:20.119
there, like... like anime people that like have

00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.279
their own like vtube i guess is what i'm like

00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.200
you know vtube creators like that are gonna be

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.299
at the concert or is it just like no i'm not

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:31.220
sure if there's gonna be any like i don't know

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:33.279
who's gonna be there because the last one i went

00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:35.599
to they had somebody perform i don't remember

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:41.910
her name though but they just like You have your

00:19:41.910 --> 00:19:44.769
performer, everybody in the crowd dancing away

00:19:44.769 --> 00:19:46.450
and everything to the music. And, like, they

00:19:46.450 --> 00:19:50.890
just switch it to regular music after the performer.

00:19:51.210 --> 00:19:56.329
And I think there's usually only one. I don't

00:19:56.329 --> 00:19:59.809
stay long enough to see all of it, though. Because

00:19:59.809 --> 00:20:03.390
it's pretty long and it's pretty late, too. Yeah.

00:20:03.410 --> 00:20:05.130
I mean, how long does it go for? Like, a .m.

00:20:05.130 --> 00:20:07.789
to p .m.? The whole convention is, like, an all

00:20:07.789 --> 00:20:11.519
-day event. All day, like, 24 hours? Not, like,

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.480
a 24 -hour event. Like, 8 a .m. to 10 p .m.?

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:20.380
Yeah. Wow. I mean, maybe, like, midnight for

00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:23.019
the after party, though. Really? Oh, my gosh.

00:20:23.339 --> 00:20:27.920
Yeah. So, like, pretty late if you're not a night

00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:31.519
owl, I guess. I mean, I assume everyone who is

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:34.380
going to a Nakacon convention is going to be

00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:37.660
partially night owl. Probably. Best hours to

00:20:37.660 --> 00:20:44.180
binge watch anime. I mean, not only is NakaCon

00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:46.880
coming, but the weekend after is the 21st to

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.480
the 23rd, which we have mentioned before on this

00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.240
podcast. Comic -Con! Yay! I'm super excited.

00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:55.539
I was originally going to go on Saturday, except

00:20:55.539 --> 00:20:58.539
they announced that there's going to be the Doctor

00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:03.359
Who Expo on Friday. So that's like the only reason

00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.109
why I would want to attend. Because I'm... That's,

00:21:06.150 --> 00:21:07.529
like, the only reason why I would want to attend.

00:21:07.690 --> 00:21:14.069
I'm a huge Whovian. Yeah. Whovian? Yeah. That's

00:21:14.069 --> 00:21:16.650
what their names are. I'm staring at Zach because

00:21:16.650 --> 00:21:20.109
he's watched Doctor Who before. No, you didn't?

00:21:20.109 --> 00:21:22.750
No. That's what they call themselves. I mean,

00:21:22.769 --> 00:21:27.750
us. That's what we call ourselves. I've never

00:21:27.750 --> 00:21:29.950
seen Doctor Who. You've never seen Doctor Who?

00:21:30.569 --> 00:21:34.369
No, not once at all. Literally, get out of here.

00:21:34.430 --> 00:21:41.819
Oh, my gosh. I yelled. What is Doctor Who? Like,

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:44.660
what is Doctor Who? So it's a sci -fi fantasy

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:49.339
realism kind of deal. It's been going on since

00:21:49.339 --> 00:21:54.720
19... 60s i believe so there's been a total of

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:57.460
12 actors that have played the doctor he has

00:21:57.460 --> 00:22:00.099
a regenerative trait because he is an alien okay

00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:04.380
um but he looks human so each time he regenerates

00:22:04.380 --> 00:22:08.220
he regenerates into a new face a new body a new

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:11.500
personality but he is still the same person um

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:17.240
i started watching um originally i i did see

00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.849
some of the main doctors uh their names not popping

00:22:21.849 --> 00:22:26.990
into my head. That includes... Zach, what's that

00:22:26.990 --> 00:22:32.190
bald guy's name? The Rose Tyler... He was companions

00:22:32.190 --> 00:22:36.009
with Rose Tyler. So is it like a show? It is

00:22:36.009 --> 00:22:38.529
a show. Okay. Hold on. Christopher Eccleton?

00:22:39.230 --> 00:22:44.630
Yeah. Christopher Eccleton? Eccleston. So there's

00:22:44.630 --> 00:22:48.170
been, you said 12 doctors. So yeah, there's been...

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.339
Technically 13 if you're not counting David Tennant

00:22:52.339 --> 00:23:00.000
returning as the 14th Doctor. Yeah, no. So technically

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:06.640
14? 15 Doctors? Yeah, there's technically been

00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.039
15 Doctors. Because I started watching with Christopher

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:20.930
Eccleston. And now it's... Now it's Nakuti Gatwa.

00:23:22.069 --> 00:23:25.269
Yeah, he was on Sex Education, the Netflix show.

00:23:25.650 --> 00:23:30.849
He played the main character's gay best friend.

00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:35.210
Okay. Have you seen Sex Ed? No, I haven't, but

00:23:35.210 --> 00:23:38.410
I've seen a lot of clips from it. But I think

00:23:38.410 --> 00:23:39.410
I know who you're talking about. I think I've

00:23:39.410 --> 00:23:43.230
seen, like, clips or trailers from the Doctor

00:23:43.230 --> 00:23:45.900
Who thing. I mean, is it? Is it that black guy

00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:48.759
that I've been seeing? Yeah. Okay. Then, yeah,

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:50.660
I've seen, like, the trailers from that, and

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:53.079
I'm like, what is Doctor Who? Because I know,

00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:55.359
like, a lot of people were into it when I was

00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:57.880
in high school, and I was just like, what even

00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:02.700
is this? Honestly, it's just, so the Doctor of

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:05.559
Doctor, like, Doctor Who, he is a time traveler,

00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:09.019
and not only that, but he can go anywhere in

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:14.119
space. So it's his, from anywhere from, like,

00:24:14.569 --> 00:24:19.309
earth to mars to his own hometown which i'm pretty

00:24:19.309 --> 00:24:21.210
sure is or home planet which i'm pretty sure

00:24:21.210 --> 00:24:25.650
is made up uh gallifrey and there's other like

00:24:25.650 --> 00:24:29.690
sectors and we even in one of the more recent

00:24:29.690 --> 00:24:31.829
episodes well i guess not more recent episodes

00:24:31.829 --> 00:24:34.349
but one of the recent specials which was in 2023

00:24:34.349 --> 00:24:40.490
or 2024 That they, yeah, 2023, they posted with

00:24:40.490 --> 00:24:44.809
Donna Noble and David Tennant's doctor. And they

00:24:44.809 --> 00:24:48.849
went to the end of space, like literally complete

00:24:48.849 --> 00:24:53.109
pitch black end of space. So it's nothing like

00:24:53.109 --> 00:24:55.890
the cosmos, but it's where it's like realistic.

00:24:56.069 --> 00:24:59.829
But it does have that sort of like historic accuracy,

00:24:59.930 --> 00:25:07.910
kind of like in regions they do act out. um they've

00:25:07.910 --> 00:25:15.210
talked about uh da vinci right or yeah it was

00:25:15.210 --> 00:25:17.670
da vinci and then they've talked about like queen

00:25:17.670 --> 00:25:20.769
of england and they've talked about certain like

00:25:20.769 --> 00:25:24.990
um they've poked fun at in more recent episodes

00:25:24.990 --> 00:25:32.109
uh who's the guy who invented gravity isaac newton

00:25:33.479 --> 00:25:35.900
Nobody invented gravity. Not invented gravity,

00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.319
but invented the concept of an apple fell on

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:40.940
my head, therefore. Yeah, Isaac Newton. So they

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:45.200
made fun of that, and then he's like, they made

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:46.680
a joke, and it's like, oh, yeah, the gravity

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:50.200
of the situation. And then it turns out, like,

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:52.359
he's like, ooh, I like that word, gravity. And

00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.559
then Isaac Newton instead renamed it to, like,

00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:59.940
tavity. Like, something like a letter instead

00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:05.220
of G. But. In all of Doctor Who's, it's just

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:09.380
kind of like a repetitive episode where it's

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:14.359
Doctor Who and Companion. They spawn with the

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:17.579
TARDIS on a planet or city or something that

00:26:17.579 --> 00:26:19.940
is in distress because of aliens attacking it.

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:23.339
And they have to figure out what the alien is,

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:28.759
what the problem is, and how to solve it. And

00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:31.500
it's usually solved by every end of the episode.

00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.559
But it's a continuous storyline and all aliens

00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:41.079
come back. You never see one alien and it's gone.

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:48.680
Everyone has their own... Everyone knows what

00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.119
each alien is. And if there's an undiscovered

00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:53.160
alien, he's like, hmm, I've never seen this before.

00:26:53.380 --> 00:26:58.980
And it's like, okay, duh. So then that's what

00:26:58.980 --> 00:27:02.079
the... the telephone booth is for for them to

00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.359
time travel yeah that's the that's the TARDIS

00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:09.259
okay so he it's the whole concept is it's bigger

00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:12.480
on the inside have you seen those have you seen

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.900
the TARDIS so it's not just like they're not

00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:17.700
just in this tiny phone booth like you open it

00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:21.299
up and it's like larger than this school okay

00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:26.140
yeah like so there's like a pool there's uh There

00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:28.660
was like a trampoline room with Amy Pond and

00:27:28.660 --> 00:27:30.740
stuff. And then obviously they had their own

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:33.519
bedrooms and everything because they created,

00:27:33.619 --> 00:27:39.920
spoiler alert, Melanie Pond. And then even more

00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:44.200
spoiler alert, cover your ears, guys. Melanie

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:46.680
Pond is actually River Song, who's going to be

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:50.779
at the Expo on Friday. So I'm really excited

00:27:50.779 --> 00:27:56.460
to see David Tennant. well, The Doctor and Melody

00:27:56.460 --> 00:28:00.819
Pond in person. Like, I mean, I've been, like,

00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:05.099
a Doctor Who fan since I was eight. Since I've

00:28:05.099 --> 00:28:07.539
been exposed to screen time, it's, like, my number

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:12.720
one show. I make all the people that I am close

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:16.359
to at least know about it. Like, do you have

00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:18.799
Disney Plus? Like, okay, first of all, it's kind

00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:23.000
of been more PG, TV, MA instead of, like... I

00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:25.400
don't know. It's become more Disney ever since

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:30.700
Disney did buy it. Right. But when it was BBC

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:35.660
only, that was, like, my favorite. And I'm not

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:38.579
going to lie. I did watch a couple of the 13th

00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:42.119
Doctor. It was the first woman Doctor. And I

00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.700
personally didn't favor it because it felt off.

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:50.400
Like, it very much gave Matt Smith Doctor, but

00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:54.900
it was not, like. not the same like she was still

00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:57.319
intelligent and she was still like the doctor

00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.160
but I was just like I don't feel it like the

00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.319
doctor is not the doctor anymore and I feel so

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.180
like gross about myself saying that like you

00:29:05.180 --> 00:29:07.380
know women empowerment but like some things I

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:09.500
feel like you shouldn't change like the doctor's

00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:17.660
gender but I do like um how they did give David

00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:22.119
Tennant's doctor a ending spoiler alert Which

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.920
is funny because one of the, like, Melody Pond,

00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:30.099
River Song, one of her things is, like, she and

00:29:30.099 --> 00:29:32.440
Matt Smith's doctor and David Tennant's doctor,

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:37.099
they cross paths, but in reverse. So the first

00:29:37.099 --> 00:29:39.799
time she sees him is the last time he sees her

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.420
in reverse. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. So,

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:44.500
like, by the time they meet each other, they're

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:46.779
like. Has this happened yet? Has this happened

00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:49.460
yet? Has this happened yet? And then the doctor's

00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:51.279
like, ooh, no, but what's that? And she's like,

00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:54.720
spoilers, honey. So, like, she'll, like, tell

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:57.059
him, like, have you, like, has this happened

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:58.579
yet? And he's like, no, but what is it? And then

00:29:58.579 --> 00:30:02.519
she's like, spoilers. So we get somewhat glances

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:05.279
into the future episodes by her mentioning, has

00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:08.619
this happened? And usually it happens, like,

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:12.700
within the next season. So it's really exciting

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:17.640
to see, but. I mean, I feel like I've talked

00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.920
enough on Doctor Who. I mean, you made it sound

00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:24.400
interesting. Maybe I'll watch it. Yeah, but that's,

00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:29.279
I mean, that's, like, literally the only reason

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.259
why I'm going to Comic -Con. But, I mean, that's

00:30:33.259 --> 00:30:35.119
not the only thing that's, like, coming up. I

00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:38.460
mean, Nakacon, Comic -Con, but then on, what,

00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:42.059
the 16th, there's that reptile show? Yeah, and,

00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.779
um... It's, like, I mean, I've never been to

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:47.680
a reptile show. I'm actually afraid of, like,

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:52.619
animals like that. Really? Yeah. But it's, like

00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:59.319
you said, it's on the 16th. And it's, like, I

00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:01.599
don't know. Those reptiles are scary. But it's

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.579
for, like, you can talk to, like, breeders in

00:31:04.579 --> 00:31:08.220
the area. And, like, if you have kids, then bring

00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:12.089
your kids. But it's, like. Just, like, a big

00:31:12.089 --> 00:31:17.069
show. Like, but I don't know if I could do that.

00:31:17.170 --> 00:31:19.670
That's, like. Really? I mean, I've never personally

00:31:19.670 --> 00:31:21.589
been to a reptile show before, but I've heard,

00:31:21.650 --> 00:31:24.170
like, some of my friends have gone to reptile

00:31:24.170 --> 00:31:27.029
shows before. And the way they describe it is

00:31:27.029 --> 00:31:29.450
when you go in, obviously, like, they're showing

00:31:29.450 --> 00:31:34.089
off, like, certain, like, regions of snakes,

00:31:34.190 --> 00:31:39.220
breeds of. bearded dragons, um, gecko leopards,

00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:41.720
et cetera, et cetera. So it's not just snakes

00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.140
though. Like, I mean, obviously that might be

00:31:45.140 --> 00:31:47.619
a huge part, but reptiles also include turtles

00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:51.279
or lizards or you don't even like lizards. You're

00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.900
cringing at that. It's like, okay, I'm cringing

00:31:53.900 --> 00:31:56.000
at the turtles because I've held turtles before

00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.420
and I can feel their little legs like pushing

00:31:58.420 --> 00:32:00.339
out of their shell. And like, I'm just like,

00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.380
Oh God, that feels really weird. It's like a

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:05.420
It's like a sensory thing, I guess. It's like

00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:07.880
I don't want to touch them. I mean, at these

00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:12.380
shows, you're able to go in, learn about certain

00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:15.759
breeds and exotic animals, of course. But you

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:19.240
can also purchase reptiles from there. Okay,

00:32:19.259 --> 00:32:21.579
I didn't know that. No, yeah, you totally can.

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:23.200
Like, they're not just there to just show off

00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.220
the animals. They're, like, they want you to

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:27.640
be knowledgeable about what you need to do for

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:31.460
your certain reptiles and what you should purchase

00:32:31.460 --> 00:32:34.099
in order to take care of it and how to take care

00:32:34.099 --> 00:32:37.200
of animals. And I've even heard of people, like,

00:32:37.259 --> 00:32:40.119
taking their sick animals to, like, donate, which

00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:42.660
sounds bad. But, like, if you feel like you're

00:32:42.660 --> 00:32:46.630
an unfit reptile parent. and you have a reptile,

00:32:46.690 --> 00:32:48.549
you can always, like, you can take it and be

00:32:48.549 --> 00:32:52.049
like, hey, like, I, like, I see you have a couple

00:32:52.049 --> 00:32:54.130
of breeds. This is mine. Like, I have not been

00:32:54.130 --> 00:32:56.670
a good caretaker, and I do not plan to, like,

00:32:56.730 --> 00:33:02.089
I guess, have another reptile. Right. But, like,

00:33:02.190 --> 00:33:05.180
I just, I can't. take care of this animal anymore

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:08.220
and um most breeders are like understandable

00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:10.420
like being a reptile parent is not for everyone

00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:13.680
um and obviously they would much prefer if you

00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:17.200
give your reptile to them than just let it like

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:20.000
be in your care when you know you cannot take

00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:23.059
care of it i mean it sounds it doesn't really

00:33:23.059 --> 00:33:25.759
sound bad it sounds like good like a responsible

00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:29.519
thing to do to give your reptile away to professionals

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:33.529
who can actually take care of it I mean, day

00:33:33.529 --> 00:33:37.230
after Reptile Show is St. Patrick's Day. St.

00:33:37.509 --> 00:33:39.710
Patrick's Day. There's lots of parades going

00:33:39.710 --> 00:33:44.349
on and little parties around the KC area. Oh,

00:33:44.390 --> 00:33:46.950
yeah, 100%. I mean, there's going to be total,

00:33:47.210 --> 00:33:52.230
like, there's going to be hella parties. There's

00:33:52.230 --> 00:33:54.569
going to be bar crawls. There's going to be parades.

00:33:54.609 --> 00:33:56.349
There's going to be certain types of celebrations.

00:33:58.109 --> 00:34:00.869
Yeah, there's going to be bar crawls, parades.

00:34:01.029 --> 00:34:03.210
There's going to be. all sorts of celebrations

00:34:03.210 --> 00:34:05.990
all throughout Kansas. There's things happening

00:34:05.990 --> 00:34:10.329
in Lawrence, Westport, Waldo, like downtown,

00:34:10.489 --> 00:34:13.150
downtown, and, I mean, downtown Overland Park,

00:34:13.190 --> 00:34:15.289
they've already hosted their parade, but they're

00:34:15.289 --> 00:34:17.530
still going to be, like, celebrating St. Patrick's

00:34:17.530 --> 00:34:20.429
Day on St. Paddy's Day. Yes, and there's lots

00:34:20.429 --> 00:34:23.110
of restaurants in downtown Overland Park to go

00:34:23.110 --> 00:34:26.449
to for all of that. Yeah, I mean, there's...

00:34:26.809 --> 00:34:29.550
More like cafes over there. And there are sports

00:34:29.550 --> 00:34:32.289
bars, of course. Like, I know Red Room and other

00:34:32.289 --> 00:34:34.989
places might be hosting something. The Peanut.

00:34:35.349 --> 00:34:38.869
There's the State Pizza over there. And then

00:34:38.869 --> 00:34:42.429
where I currently work is Brew Lab. And we're

00:34:42.429 --> 00:34:44.949
not specifically doing anything for St. Patrick's

00:34:44.949 --> 00:34:47.929
Day. But, I mean, we're a brewery. Come on. Yeah.

00:34:47.929 --> 00:34:54.519
I mean. It makes sense to go. There's also, I

00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:56.199
don't know if you ever heard of it, but Strang

00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:59.139
Hall, that's over there, too. Yeah, they're shutting

00:34:59.139 --> 00:35:00.400
down. There's multiple restaurants. They're shutting

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:03.019
down. Yeah, they're going out of business. That

00:35:03.019 --> 00:35:04.739
sucks. I literally just tried it for the first

00:35:04.739 --> 00:35:06.599
time, like, two weeks ago, and I'm like, this

00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:08.179
is delicious. I have to come back. Yeah, I think

00:35:08.179 --> 00:35:10.000
there were, like, three locations, but then the

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:12.440
Plaza location just shut down, and then Strang

00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:13.860
Hall and Overland Park, they're not getting that

00:35:13.860 --> 00:35:15.039
much business either, so they're going to be

00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.420
shutting down soon. That is sad news to hear.

00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:20.559
But I know they are trying to, like, get some,

00:35:20.619 --> 00:35:24.239
like, fun parties going, like, I don't know,

00:35:24.260 --> 00:35:27.860
events. Yeah. But, I mean, they do have a bar

00:35:27.860 --> 00:35:30.679
there. Yeah. It's not specifically, like, a sports

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:33.619
bar or anything, but it is just because String

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:35.619
Hall is more of, like, a cafeteria. There are,

00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.539
like, if you've ever been to Oak Park Mall, you

00:35:38.539 --> 00:35:40.960
know how they have, like, Panda Express, Chipotle.

00:35:41.699 --> 00:35:46.179
There's pizza. There's a Mexican, like, pizza.

00:35:46.429 --> 00:35:49.190
authentic mexican food and then right next to

00:35:49.190 --> 00:35:52.050
it there's like sushi and poke bowls oh yeah

00:35:52.050 --> 00:35:57.610
poke bowls um however you say it and like all

00:35:57.610 --> 00:35:59.650
that but like that's pretty much what string

00:35:59.650 --> 00:36:04.230
hall is like there's sushi there's um thai there's

00:36:04.230 --> 00:36:07.210
basic like comfort foods i think and there's

00:36:07.210 --> 00:36:09.949
a cafe and a bar um but there there obviously

00:36:09.949 --> 00:36:12.409
are more i just do not remember the names of

00:36:12.409 --> 00:36:16.050
them they have like Weird names, like, hard to

00:36:16.050 --> 00:36:18.829
pronounce names, like. Yeah, I think it's just

00:36:18.829 --> 00:36:20.210
because. And I can't quite remember what they

00:36:20.210 --> 00:36:22.090
are. I think it's because they want to be known

00:36:22.090 --> 00:36:23.949
as, like, I think Strang Hall wants them to be

00:36:23.949 --> 00:36:26.630
known as Strang Hall's, like, food. Yeah. And

00:36:26.630 --> 00:36:29.170
I don't think it's, like, specific businesses.

00:36:29.210 --> 00:36:32.130
I think it's Strang Hall is, like, I want pizza

00:36:32.130 --> 00:36:34.349
there, I want this there. Which, obviously, it's

00:36:34.349 --> 00:36:39.230
all really good food for you. Like, it's all,

00:36:39.309 --> 00:36:41.920
like, gut healthy. is what I'm kind of, like,

00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:45.820
thinking about. It's more expensive. It is very

00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:51.539
expensive. But I had a burrito quesadilla, and

00:36:51.539 --> 00:36:56.400
it was really good. It was, like, $16. So I was

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:59.840
like, okay, that's, like, so much money for one

00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:02.500
thing. But it was, like, still, like, a lot of

00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:05.679
food because it was kind of big. But it was delicious.

00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:08.019
I mean, if you're downtown Overland Park and

00:37:08.019 --> 00:37:11.019
want birria tacos or – I don't think they have

00:37:11.019 --> 00:37:13.039
quesadillas, but Tiki Taco is a good place. And

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:17.840
then there's also, what, Mi Ranchito also has

00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:19.820
the birria tacos, and they're right there as

00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:22.699
well. Mm -hmm. But, I mean, cafe -wise, there's

00:37:22.699 --> 00:37:26.119
Homer's Coffee, Parisi Coffee, there's two little

00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:30.119
bakeries over there, and, obviously, String Hall.

00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:32.980
Right. And probably, like, two or three that

00:37:32.980 --> 00:37:35.219
I'm missing, but they're full of, like, artistic

00:37:35.219 --> 00:37:38.400
freedom. So, there's a book, there's three...

00:37:38.699 --> 00:37:42.840
There's two bookstores, four cafes, a bunch of

00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:47.880
bars, a bunch of, like, little, like, shops,

00:37:48.099 --> 00:37:52.159
like, handmade shops. So it's, and, like, museums

00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.480
and, like, art places and then the post office.

00:37:54.900 --> 00:37:57.699
And then the post office. Yeah, no, there's a

00:37:57.699 --> 00:37:59.340
stained glass place down there, too. I think

00:37:59.340 --> 00:38:02.539
it's all really fun. Okay. Pop culture. Yeah,

00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:06.139
I've only been down there, like. Like, I didn't

00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:07.980
even know it was down there. I'm like, downtown

00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:10.059
Overland Park. Like, let's go see this. Like,

00:38:10.139 --> 00:38:12.320
I've only been to, like, downtown Olathe. So,

00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.820
other than, like, obviously the city, like, downtown

00:38:16.820 --> 00:38:20.920
Kansas City. Yeah, I'm mainly knowledgeable about

00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:25.800
it just because I live close by. Like, when I

00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:29.849
lived in, like. overland park leeward i knew

00:38:29.849 --> 00:38:33.230
everything about park place and like that area

00:38:33.230 --> 00:38:39.230
but i mean now like whatever yeah i mean i like

00:38:39.230 --> 00:38:41.349
that area with park place and everything like

00:38:41.349 --> 00:38:45.630
leeward like it's nice i go down there not too

00:38:45.630 --> 00:38:48.230
too often nowadays but i used to always be down

00:38:48.230 --> 00:38:55.090
there like covid like after covid So, like, probably

00:38:55.090 --> 00:38:57.389
one of my favorite areas to go because they have,

00:38:57.449 --> 00:39:01.030
like, this ice cream place down there. Ice Cream

00:39:01.030 --> 00:39:03.389
Bay? They've changed it, like, three billion

00:39:03.389 --> 00:39:06.230
times. Are you serious? No, yeah. It's always

00:39:06.230 --> 00:39:08.389
been an ice cream place that's right next to

00:39:08.389 --> 00:39:10.550
Bamboo Pennies. That's, like, at Park Place.

00:39:10.889 --> 00:39:14.389
But, like, it used to be, like, that, like, scoop

00:39:14.389 --> 00:39:16.949
place where they would, like, freeze it and,

00:39:17.070 --> 00:39:18.650
like, scoop it. And then before that, it was

00:39:18.650 --> 00:39:20.449
a gelato place. And then before that, it was

00:39:20.449 --> 00:39:22.900
gelato and cookies. Before that, it was gelato

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:27.860
cookies, macaroons. So, yeah. Like, it's just,

00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:29.840
it's always been ice cream in that one building.

00:39:30.179 --> 00:39:32.760
And I think it's because their kitchen and, like,

00:39:32.780 --> 00:39:36.099
everything there is, like, set up to make ice

00:39:36.099 --> 00:39:39.079
cream. Yeah. I mean, is it still Ice Cream Bay?

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:42.260
I don't think it's Ice Cream Bay right now, but

00:39:42.260 --> 00:39:45.300
it's ice cream. I mean, I haven't been there

00:39:45.300 --> 00:39:48.659
in a while, but also I just know that that, like,

00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:50.840
ice cream spot is notorious for changing their

00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:53.469
name. Not even changing their name, but just,

00:39:53.550 --> 00:39:54.909
like, changing what they are. Like, it used to

00:39:54.909 --> 00:39:58.010
be gelato and macarons, and then there was, like,

00:39:58.090 --> 00:40:01.369
that rolling ice cream, and then now it's just,

00:40:01.449 --> 00:40:04.230
like, scoops of ice cream again. Okay. But, like,

00:40:04.250 --> 00:40:07.190
without the macarons. But it most likely is still

00:40:07.190 --> 00:40:09.409
Ice Cream Bay. Hmm. Because, I mean, I know there's,

00:40:09.429 --> 00:40:13.289
like, multiple Ice Cream Bays around, but...

00:40:13.289 --> 00:40:16.849
I mean, we can look it up real quick. Let's see.

00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:20.659
So we did come to the conclusion that it is still

00:40:20.659 --> 00:40:23.079
a downtown overland park. Yeah. And it is still

00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:28.820
called Ice Cream Bay. I mean, other than St.

00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:30.679
Patrick's Day, I mean, obviously there's a lot

00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:34.300
to do. But I think, like, three days, like, on

00:40:34.300 --> 00:40:40.719
the 20th. So it would be the 20th. Thursday.

00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:44.400
So that following Thursday after there's a free

00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.079
day at the Johnson County Museum. So there's

00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:48.940
free admission. Like you don't have to pay anything

00:40:48.940 --> 00:40:51.679
to get in like a day pass. But I think it'd be

00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:53.539
really fun to just go and like look at all their

00:40:53.539 --> 00:40:57.659
new exhibits. Like that sounds so fun. I mean,

00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.380
I'm not like a museum nerd, but I mean, I love

00:41:00.380 --> 00:41:02.780
getting out of the house. Especially in this

00:41:02.780 --> 00:41:06.920
nicer weather. Like I'm so thankful for warm

00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:11.530
weather. I'm finally getting out of that seasonal

00:41:11.530 --> 00:41:14.429
depression shell because of all the cold and

00:41:14.429 --> 00:41:18.989
the slush and days off of school where we have

00:41:18.989 --> 00:41:23.170
to record the podcast at home. I'm not saying

00:41:23.170 --> 00:41:25.170
that the podcast episodes were bad, but I'm just

00:41:25.170 --> 00:41:27.869
saying the energy and vibes were not there because

00:41:27.869 --> 00:41:35.110
of how gloomy it was. Yeah. But now we have 70

00:41:35.110 --> 00:41:38.570
degree weather. I know. I love this. But I do

00:41:38.570 --> 00:41:40.769
have leather seats, so I've been burned a couple

00:41:40.769 --> 00:41:44.849
times already. Yeah. Thankfully, I don't think

00:41:44.849 --> 00:41:48.449
I have. I'm not even going to get into that.

00:41:48.530 --> 00:41:50.570
I don't know what seats I have in my car, but

00:41:50.570 --> 00:41:52.949
I can't wait to get burned by that little metal

00:41:52.949 --> 00:41:57.070
piece to buckle. Unless you built. Yeah. It's

00:41:57.070 --> 00:42:00.539
like my favorite. Summer activity. Getting burned

00:42:00.539 --> 00:42:04.199
by the seatbelt in your car. Like, great way

00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:08.079
to start. Yeah. I mean, not only that, but, like,

00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:11.679
all the activities to do in, like, summer. I

00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:14.639
mean, what? There's a pickleball tournament on

00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:19.420
the 21st, isn't there? Yes. The glow pickleball

00:42:19.420 --> 00:42:23.099
tournament. And, like, it's, like, a blacklight.

00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:25.780
Is it blacklight? Yeah. Okay. It's, like, blacklight.

00:42:27.369 --> 00:42:29.949
We were looking it up, and we originally were

00:42:29.949 --> 00:42:33.869
like, so do the, like, pickleball, like, pallet,

00:42:33.869 --> 00:42:37.110
like, you know, whatever, paddles, like, are

00:42:37.110 --> 00:42:40.230
they going to be, like, glowing? Right. But I

00:42:40.230 --> 00:42:42.030
think everyone's just going to be in neon, and

00:42:42.030 --> 00:42:44.769
it's going to be a little fun pickleball tournament.

00:42:44.809 --> 00:42:49.190
So the day that this gets posted, which is on

00:42:49.190 --> 00:42:53.159
the 14th, immediately a... week after, so the

00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:56.239
Friday the 21st, is the day of the pickleball

00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:59.420
tournament. And you will be able to put your

00:42:59.420 --> 00:43:02.539
team name in, I think, until, like, day of. Until

00:43:02.539 --> 00:43:05.059
the day of, yeah. So, yeah. So on Thursday the

00:43:05.059 --> 00:43:07.199

00:43:34.869 --> 00:43:40.230
yeah i love summer weather so much i can go on

00:43:40.230 --> 00:43:44.170
and on about that anyways pickleball isn't the

00:43:44.170 --> 00:43:46.809
only fun activity what are your summer activities

00:43:46.809 --> 00:43:51.750
that you like doing I mean, my birthday. When's

00:43:51.750 --> 00:43:53.949
your birthday? My birthday, I mean, it's not

00:43:53.949 --> 00:43:56.730
till June, but it's June 25th, so. Oh, good.

00:43:56.769 --> 00:43:59.630
Mine's May 28th, so I understand that. Summer

00:43:59.630 --> 00:44:03.710
birthday! Yay! What are you? Let's see. You're

00:44:03.710 --> 00:44:07.210
not a Gemini like me because that's the 14th

00:44:07.210 --> 00:44:13.730
that that ends. So, what is it? No. When is that?

00:44:13.949 --> 00:44:16.769
We're in Aries season right now. Oh, that might

00:44:16.769 --> 00:44:19.610
be why I'm confusing you. What are you? Cancer.

00:44:19.809 --> 00:44:24.110
Ooh. The crybaby. Is that what it is? Yeah. I'm

00:44:24.110 --> 00:44:30.090
not too knowledgeable about astrology. I mean,

00:44:30.130 --> 00:44:34.130
it's Cancer the crab, but... We're, like, really

00:44:34.130 --> 00:44:37.510
sensitive, apparently. Maybe I'm supposed to

00:44:37.510 --> 00:44:40.929
be a Cancer. I'm, like, I'm so in touch with

00:44:40.929 --> 00:44:44.389
my emotions. Gemini is, like. Two -faced is what

00:44:44.389 --> 00:44:49.449
people say. But, honestly, I don't think that

00:44:49.449 --> 00:44:51.170
that's completely accurate, at least not for

00:44:51.170 --> 00:44:54.710
me. I feel like the astrology isn't, like, accurate

00:44:54.710 --> 00:44:58.289
for everybody. I think people take it, like,

00:44:58.389 --> 00:45:03.659
as. Just as they please. Like, to me, Gemini

00:45:03.659 --> 00:45:07.360
isn't about being two -faced. It's about adapting

00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:09.360
your personality to other people, which people

00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:12.179
may see that as two -faced. But, I mean, I've

00:45:12.179 --> 00:45:15.780
come to be more extroverted around extroverted

00:45:15.780 --> 00:45:18.000
people and more introverted around introverted

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:19.599
people. Yeah, that makes sense. And that's the,

00:45:19.739 --> 00:45:22.539
like, that's the, I'm doing air quotes here,

00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:25.360
that's the two -face of the Gemini that I see.

00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:28.429
I feel like... Everybody does that, though, like

00:45:28.429 --> 00:45:30.789
changing how they are around different people.

00:45:30.869 --> 00:45:35.550
So, I mean, maybe one day we can have an astrologer

00:45:35.550 --> 00:45:38.809
on the podcast and that could be like the main

00:45:38.809 --> 00:45:42.130
topic. I mean, I'd be so happy to have other

00:45:42.130 --> 00:45:44.889
podcast hosts on here. We were talking about

00:45:44.889 --> 00:45:46.610
that in the newsroom where we're like looking

00:45:46.610 --> 00:45:50.050
for people who are so passionate about their

00:45:50.050 --> 00:45:52.329
interests that they would want to be on our podcast

00:45:52.329 --> 00:45:56.280
to talk about it. Yeah. So, I mean. That's what

00:45:56.280 --> 00:46:00.039
I'm into. We're looking for people who are hosting

00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.199
their own podcast or want to host their own podcast

00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:06.199
to be on our podcast and talk about what they're

00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:08.219
passionate about or what their cause is for.

00:46:08.860 --> 00:46:10.820
Yeah, it'd be really fun and interesting to hear

00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:13.139
about all the different things that people are

00:46:13.139 --> 00:46:15.679
so passionate about in this world. I mean, especially

00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:17.880
in Johnson County, there are a number of students

00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:21.820
who have so many interests and are such interesting

00:46:21.820 --> 00:46:25.559
and amazing people. Yes, like if you're interested

00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:29.179
in Dungeons and Dragons, there is the Honey Heist

00:46:29.179 --> 00:46:35.920
happening on March 24th. Now, I'm not... entirely

00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:38.639
sure what the honey heist is but specifics to

00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:42.900
come honestly so i mean yeah what march 24th

00:46:42.900 --> 00:46:45.940
is that's right right after our spring break

00:46:45.940 --> 00:46:49.519
so we won't have an episode coming out until

00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:54.159
i think march 26th because we're not gonna be

00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:57.280
here until yeah we're not gonna be in studio

00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:00.670
until that following wednesday so we won't be

00:47:00.670 --> 00:47:03.030
able to give you the details but we'll tell you

00:47:03.030 --> 00:47:08.190
how it goes right i mean zach here's a dungeon

00:47:08.190 --> 00:47:11.429
master he's uh he's been sitting in the room

00:47:11.429 --> 00:47:14.309
i don't want to bring him into this but um i

00:47:14.309 --> 00:47:17.469
know he's he he isn't aware of what the honey

00:47:17.469 --> 00:47:21.829
heist is but he is more knowledgeable than both

00:47:21.829 --> 00:47:24.610
mckenzie and i of what dungeons and dragons are

00:47:24.610 --> 00:47:28.300
i mean i've Read the books, not all of them.

00:47:28.380 --> 00:47:33.260
I have tried to create my own little group, but

00:47:33.260 --> 00:47:37.179
that fell through. And I do watch a lot of Dungeons

00:47:37.179 --> 00:47:40.960
& Dragons YouTube. And, I mean, I've seen the

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:45.519
movie, but that's not. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I've

00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:47.780
seen the movie too. I've played Dungeons & Dragons

00:47:47.780 --> 00:47:51.500
before. And, like, I have a character. I don't

00:47:51.500 --> 00:47:53.519
remember anything about my character, but I have

00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:59.400
a character. And I wrote a little article about

00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:04.780
the Dungeons and Dragons Club like last month.

00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.079
Is the Dungeons and Dragons Club, that article,

00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:10.800
is it posted on the Messenger? Yeah, it's still

00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:14.179
on the Messenger like under the life if you want

00:48:14.179 --> 00:48:17.960
to go and read about it. It's just about just

00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:23.150
the club meeting days. If you're what it is and

00:48:23.150 --> 00:48:25.250
if you're interested in it, then, you know, check

00:48:25.250 --> 00:48:31.610
it out. I mean, maybe I will, but is it too late

00:48:31.610 --> 00:48:33.630
to join the Dungeons & Dragons Johnson County

00:48:33.630 --> 00:48:37.170
League? The League? Is that what it's called?

00:48:37.429 --> 00:48:41.170
A club? Well, I mean, like, what's it, like,

00:48:41.250 --> 00:48:44.409
you're a dungeon master. Like, what do you call

00:48:44.409 --> 00:48:48.750
it? Your own club? It's like JCCC has the club.

00:48:49.610 --> 00:48:52.289
Zach's getting on the mic. Zach on the mic. I'll

00:48:52.289 --> 00:48:58.289
talk about some D &D here. So, I mean, I can't

00:48:58.289 --> 00:49:00.869
speak for how they do it here on campus because

00:49:00.869 --> 00:49:05.409
I have not gone to any of the meetings, though

00:49:05.409 --> 00:49:07.590
I am in their Discord. I don't know if I've mentioned

00:49:07.590 --> 00:49:12.550
that in a past episode. So, yeah, it's kind of

00:49:12.550 --> 00:49:17.260
like a – what was your question? Like, my thing

00:49:17.260 --> 00:49:20.039
was, is, like, I, you corrected me. Yeah, you

00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:21.840
called it a league, which just makes no sense.

00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:24.780
I mean, that's what people, like, they have their

00:49:24.780 --> 00:49:27.139
own basketball team leagues or, like, football

00:49:27.139 --> 00:49:29.380
league. Yeah, like, I just assumed it might be

00:49:29.380 --> 00:49:31.559
the same for Dungeons & Dragons. But you're not

00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:34.000
competing against other people to be the best

00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.940
player. I guess. I guess so, but, I mean. I would

00:49:36.940 --> 00:49:38.460
say they're mostly just called, like, parties.

00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:43.380
Parties, clubs. Well, no, like, you as the players.

00:49:44.269 --> 00:49:46.730
Like, you and your fellow players are a party.

00:49:47.570 --> 00:49:51.250
Like, you're a group of, like, adventurers in

00:49:51.250 --> 00:49:54.389
this setting that your DM has set up for you.

00:49:57.010 --> 00:50:01.829
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. What other, what

00:50:01.829 --> 00:50:05.269
do you need? Like, okay. I'm just correcting

00:50:05.269 --> 00:50:07.449
you, but, like, I don't know what. Talk to us

00:50:07.449 --> 00:50:10.309
about what Dungeons & Dragons is. Like, obviously,

00:50:10.449 --> 00:50:13.409
it's a role -play game. Like, you have your own

00:50:13.409 --> 00:50:16.570
character. You are the DM, so you create the

00:50:16.570 --> 00:50:20.489
story. But how does that happen? I mean, okay,

00:50:20.570 --> 00:50:30.710
so as a DM, I don't really like doing pre -made

00:50:30.710 --> 00:50:34.170
adventures, which you can do. You can, there's...

00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:36.840
thousands of pre -made adventures that you can

00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:40.440
find out in you know just in stores like you

00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:42.840
know the books you can find books and we have

00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:45.260
a couple at my house that i've done before but

00:50:45.260 --> 00:50:47.739
you know they're not my favorite i like creating

00:50:47.739 --> 00:50:52.900
a unique world for my players um you know creating

00:50:52.900 --> 00:50:57.250
a a big The big bad is usually what you call

00:50:57.250 --> 00:51:01.829
the last encounter, the last villain of the entire

00:51:01.829 --> 00:51:05.190
campaign. So they're called campaigns. Yeah,

00:51:05.190 --> 00:51:07.429
you could have corrected me. I said league. No,

00:51:07.489 --> 00:51:10.190
the campaign. Campaign. I don't know what you're

00:51:10.190 --> 00:51:14.389
talking about. My bad, my bad. Campaigns. So

00:51:14.389 --> 00:51:17.809
I'm currently working on a Greek mythology kind

00:51:17.809 --> 00:51:19.630
of campaign for my players, which we're playing

00:51:19.630 --> 00:51:25.860
on Friday. So it's kind of just... It's not much

00:51:25.860 --> 00:51:30.159
of the regular D &D rule set. I'm kind of creating

00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:32.920
my own little game and calling it Dungeons &

00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:37.099
Dragons. In a sense, there's a lot of similarities

00:51:37.099 --> 00:51:42.300
that I'm still using the base rolling for stuff.

00:51:42.579 --> 00:51:44.900
It's still Dungeons & Dragons. It's just not

00:51:44.900 --> 00:51:47.699
the base game at that point. There's a lot of

00:51:47.699 --> 00:51:51.650
tweaks I've done to it. But yeah, so the Dungeon

00:51:51.650 --> 00:51:54.349
Master creates a campaign. They usually plan

00:51:54.349 --> 00:51:57.489
out what the players, what the party is going

00:51:57.489 --> 00:52:02.010
to do in one given session. And sessions can

00:52:02.010 --> 00:52:04.550
range from as long as you want to as short as

00:52:04.550 --> 00:52:09.469
you want. I usually... My party usually does

00:52:09.469 --> 00:52:13.489
about five -ish hours, five to seven sometimes,

00:52:13.929 --> 00:52:17.349
because we like to play for a while. And, you

00:52:17.349 --> 00:52:19.309
know, we're all kind of actors, too, so we kind

00:52:19.309 --> 00:52:20.510
of get into it. It's kind of fun. You guys get

00:52:20.510 --> 00:52:24.329
all the, like, snacks. We do. We get pizza. It's

00:52:24.329 --> 00:52:27.230
great. That sounds like such a fun, like, it's

00:52:27.230 --> 00:52:33.869
a blast. Yeah, no, it's a lot of fun. And, you

00:52:33.869 --> 00:52:39.059
know, it's just, it's good. like, just genuine

00:52:39.059 --> 00:52:42.400
fun. You're getting, you're not on, like, there's

00:52:42.400 --> 00:52:45.199
no electronics. I mean, there can be. You know,

00:52:45.219 --> 00:52:49.099
I have my laptop, but I just printed out, like,

00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:51.659
30 sheets of paper, like, literally not that

00:52:51.659 --> 00:52:55.059
long ago to use because that's the character

00:52:55.059 --> 00:52:58.369
sheets for my players. It's their... the skills

00:52:58.369 --> 00:53:01.090
and abilities that they learn as they're leveling

00:53:01.090 --> 00:53:04.090
up. Because that's another big part of the game

00:53:04.090 --> 00:53:06.849
is that you level up and you gain new abilities.

00:53:06.969 --> 00:53:11.789
You get more health. You get stronger. It's an

00:53:11.789 --> 00:53:17.289
RPG in a sense. I've seen websites for Dungeons

00:53:17.289 --> 00:53:19.389
& Dragons players where they can create their

00:53:19.389 --> 00:53:21.909
own character. Basically, it's just a website

00:53:21.909 --> 00:53:25.190
that you can create an avatar and then there's

00:53:25.190 --> 00:53:28.079
like... bars that you can like fill basically

00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:30.159
and then you can print that sheet off as a pdf

00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:32.780
yeah pretty much yeah i mean there's so many

00:53:32.780 --> 00:53:36.380
it's become such a mainstream thing um nowadays

00:53:36.380 --> 00:53:38.820
um you know it didn't used to be like at all

00:53:38.820 --> 00:53:42.019
um you know if anybody's watched stranger things

00:53:42.019 --> 00:53:44.679
you can see it actually has a pretty good representation

00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:46.960
of how dnd was portrayed back then you know it

00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:51.320
was seen as you know weird for wanting to you

00:53:51.320 --> 00:53:54.710
know role play with these elves and demons and

00:53:54.710 --> 00:53:58.170
stuff but you know aside from that you know it's

00:53:58.170 --> 00:54:00.150
it's a good bonding experience with your your

00:54:00.150 --> 00:54:03.869
friends or you know whoever it is so um i think

00:54:03.869 --> 00:54:05.750
one of the things you mentioned earlier was you

00:54:05.750 --> 00:54:09.789
know is it too late to to join um the league

00:54:09.789 --> 00:54:16.570
no i mean it depends on the dm um you know some

00:54:16.570 --> 00:54:20.860
people have their you know close group of friends

00:54:20.860 --> 00:54:24.300
that they only play with. Some people have multiple

00:54:24.300 --> 00:54:27.780
campaigns that they will, you know, be a part,

00:54:27.820 --> 00:54:32.840
like, play in or DM. You know, there's professional

00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:37.519
DMs out there who DM multiple games a week, which

00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:40.000
is, you know, I won't say it's a dream of mine,

00:54:40.059 --> 00:54:43.239
but that would be really fun. Can you get paid,

00:54:43.300 --> 00:54:45.079
like, as a professional? Oh, yeah, as a professional

00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:47.079
DM. I think my cousin was one at one point. I

00:54:47.079 --> 00:54:51.340
don't know if he still is, but... Yeah, no, it's

00:54:51.340 --> 00:54:55.980
never too late necessarily if you find the right

00:54:55.980 --> 00:54:59.340
group. I'm sure the ones here on campus actually

00:54:59.340 --> 00:55:02.530
probably... We'll just let you join them. Yeah.

00:55:02.670 --> 00:55:04.510
I think that's kind of the entire point is that

00:55:04.510 --> 00:55:07.110
they kind of just want new people to play and

00:55:07.110 --> 00:55:10.510
get to experience D &D. And, you know, from what

00:55:10.510 --> 00:55:12.489
I've seen in the Discord, all of them seem really

00:55:12.489 --> 00:55:15.670
friendly. You know, they'll help you create your

00:55:15.670 --> 00:55:17.550
character, you know, create a little backstory

00:55:17.550 --> 00:55:20.230
for you maybe. And that's the fun thing too.

00:55:20.309 --> 00:55:23.110
As the player, you get to kind of get a little

00:55:23.110 --> 00:55:26.170
bit of backstory of how you want them to, you

00:55:26.170 --> 00:55:30.630
know. be in this world that, you know, you haven't

00:55:30.630 --> 00:55:32.510
created necessarily the world, but, you know,

00:55:32.510 --> 00:55:35.130
you've created your own little backstory that

00:55:35.130 --> 00:55:39.989
the DM then gets to implement, you know, into

00:55:39.989 --> 00:55:41.929
the world that they've created. So whether that

00:55:41.929 --> 00:55:44.389
be, you know, you're a little dwarf and, you

00:55:44.389 --> 00:55:49.389
know, you, you know, you just, you're out in

00:55:49.389 --> 00:55:53.769
the mountain and you're a rock miner. And one

00:55:53.769 --> 00:55:56.690
day the, you know, there was an avalanche and

00:55:57.179 --> 00:55:59.480
All your friends and family, you know, are no

00:55:59.480 --> 00:56:02.920
longer here. You know, that, yeah. I mean, maybe

00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:06.360
in the campaign you find the remnants of your

00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:11.139
old house. You know, it's a lot of fun being

00:56:11.139 --> 00:56:14.900
the DM because you get to kind of play God in

00:56:14.900 --> 00:56:18.139
a sense. Oh, my gosh. Not having a God complex.

00:56:18.420 --> 00:56:20.659
You just start your own cult. I'm kidding. You

00:56:20.659 --> 00:56:25.920
can. Yeah, you just kind of, you get to play

00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:30.360
with your, players emotions but in good ways

00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:36.579
like you get to impact them in very like what's

00:56:36.579 --> 00:56:39.159
the word i'm looking for like substantial ways

00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:42.219
like you know you get to like i i've made my

00:56:42.219 --> 00:56:45.159
players cry because of you know just things that

00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:47.619
happen to their character or you know things

00:56:47.619 --> 00:56:49.119
that happen in the world that we were playing

00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:53.000
in because you get attached to to your surroundings

00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:56.210
and your your character and It's just, yeah,

00:56:56.329 --> 00:57:01.170
it's a lot of fun. Like, I hopped on the Dungeons

00:57:01.170 --> 00:57:05.570
& Dragons bandwagon back in high school. I was

00:57:05.570 --> 00:57:08.030
friends with some people. I won't name them in

00:57:08.030 --> 00:57:11.730
case they don't want to be named. But they were

00:57:11.730 --> 00:57:14.530
really interested in it, and then I was always,

00:57:14.570 --> 00:57:18.269
like, interested in, like, being around for their,

00:57:18.449 --> 00:57:23.489
like, what do you call it? Session? Yeah, I guess

00:57:23.489 --> 00:57:26.429
they're session. But, I mean, I never got around

00:57:26.429 --> 00:57:30.969
to it. COVID happened. And it was just, I just

00:57:30.969 --> 00:57:33.530
forgot about it. And then it was reintroduced

00:57:33.530 --> 00:57:36.769
to me around the time that Stranger Things, like,

00:57:36.809 --> 00:57:39.389
came back out because there was that one theory

00:57:39.389 --> 00:57:43.010
that the Stranger Things storyline is basically

00:57:43.010 --> 00:57:45.630
just their Dungeons & Dragons story. Mm -hmm.

00:57:47.419 --> 00:57:49.579
Which it's shaping out to be, kind of. I'm not

00:57:49.579 --> 00:57:51.659
going to lie. We'll see in the fifth season.

00:57:51.940 --> 00:57:54.820
I haven't watched past the second or third season.

00:57:54.820 --> 00:57:57.099
That's crazy. Wait, hold on. What do you remember

00:57:57.099 --> 00:57:59.119
last? Because this is important. Because if you

00:57:59.119 --> 00:58:00.679
watch season three, you're good. Because season

00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:03.409
three is the best season. I got really bored.

00:58:03.550 --> 00:58:05.630
I think it was probably season two. It's when

00:58:05.630 --> 00:58:07.570
Elle found out she had a sister. Yeah, that's

00:58:07.570 --> 00:58:10.510
season two. We don't like that season. I was

00:58:10.510 --> 00:58:12.929
like, dang, it really went downhill. No, season

00:58:12.929 --> 00:58:15.449
three is so good. So I should rewatch it. You

00:58:15.449 --> 00:58:16.869
should rewatch it. Season four is pretty good,

00:58:16.929 --> 00:58:21.150
too. But season three is really good. Is there

00:58:21.150 --> 00:58:23.750
a set date? Is there a proper season five that's

00:58:23.750 --> 00:58:28.190
coming out? They have announced it. I think it's

00:58:28.190 --> 00:58:33.260
coming out. either this year in the winter or

00:58:33.260 --> 00:58:36.139
sometime next year, like early. Cause I know

00:58:36.139 --> 00:58:37.880
they're not doing, cause usually they dropped

00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:40.599
them. They've dropped the last two seasons, like

00:58:40.599 --> 00:58:42.539
during summer. Oh, they literally, there's like

00:58:42.539 --> 00:58:45.380
five hours ago, 18 hours ago, two hours ago,

00:58:45.460 --> 00:58:48.260
uh, like talking about stranger things, season

00:58:48.260 --> 00:58:52.360
five. Um, season five is going to come in 2025,

00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:57.119
October 10th. And November 27th. So they're doing

00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:00.719
the six episodes and then the last two on November

00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:03.579
27th. Yeah, okay. So they're kind of following

00:59:03.579 --> 00:59:05.139
what they did with season four. Because season

00:59:05.139 --> 00:59:09.159
four, they did the first probably six or so episodes.

00:59:09.199 --> 00:59:11.559
And then the last two episodes were both like

00:59:11.559 --> 00:59:15.860
an hour long episode each. So it's kind of like

00:59:15.860 --> 00:59:19.289
a movie. Is it going to be... The series finale?

00:59:19.710 --> 00:59:21.329
Yeah, season five. Yeah, is that it? Finally.

00:59:22.630 --> 00:59:26.190
They're, like, getting married now. Wait, what?

00:59:26.469 --> 00:59:28.250
Oh, yeah, Lily Bobby Brown is married. Lily Bobby

00:59:28.250 --> 00:59:31.329
Brown is married to Jake Bon Jovi. Yeah. Mm -hmm.

00:59:31.670 --> 00:59:33.489
And yet they're still playing high schoolers.

00:59:35.250 --> 00:59:36.710
But it's okay. I digress. They still kind of

00:59:36.710 --> 00:59:39.710
look like high schoolers. No, they don't. No,

00:59:39.929 --> 00:59:42.650
they don't. They're reaching their, what I assume

00:59:42.650 --> 00:59:46.889
seniors should look like in... College. Yeah.

00:59:47.369 --> 00:59:49.389
Which is not high school. I mean, aren't they

00:59:49.389 --> 00:59:51.809
all in, like, their 20s now? I think they're

00:59:51.809 --> 00:59:53.690
our age. No, they're, like, early 20s. Yeah.

00:59:53.690 --> 00:59:57.469
I think the oldest one is 25. I mean, they still

00:59:57.469 --> 00:59:59.789
look like high schoolers. Well, I'm not talking

00:59:59.789 --> 01:00:01.869
about, like, I'm talking about the main, like,

01:00:01.889 --> 01:00:04.429
kid characters. That's what I'm talking about.

01:00:04.550 --> 01:00:07.630
Yeah. I think Caleb McLaughlin, who plays, oh,

01:00:07.670 --> 01:00:13.630
God, what's his name? We just had our host for

01:00:13.630 --> 01:00:17.369
Student Stories pop in. That's okay. Also, first

01:00:17.369 --> 01:00:19.190
episode comes out Monday after spring break.

01:00:20.570 --> 01:00:22.389
What are we talking about? Stranger Things? Caleb

01:00:22.389 --> 01:00:25.050
McLaughlin. He's Lucas. Lucas, yeah, that's his

01:00:25.050 --> 01:00:26.849
name. Yeah, he plays Lucas. I think he's the

01:00:26.849 --> 01:00:29.750
oldest out of the five kids, and I think he's

01:00:29.750 --> 01:00:33.849
25 or something like that. I really like him.

01:00:33.889 --> 01:00:37.429
His other movies and all that, he's a really

01:00:37.429 --> 01:00:43.289
great actor. Yeah. All of the... Cass is really

01:00:43.289 --> 01:00:47.230
good. You've got Winona Ryder. Millie Bobby Brown's

01:00:47.230 --> 01:00:53.599
21. Finn Wolfhard's 22. Noah Schnapp is 20. Caleb

01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:56.960
McLaughlin is actually only 23. Oh, he's my age.

01:00:56.980 --> 01:00:59.000
But he's still the oldest. I was right. Sadie

01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:02.320
Sink is 22. I love Sadie Sink. She's good, too.

01:01:02.460 --> 01:01:04.360
Did you ever watch Fear Street? Is that what

01:01:04.360 --> 01:01:05.719
it's called? I have not, but yeah, I know she's

01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:08.679
in it. She's good in Fear Street. It's a perfect

01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:11.820
role. Oh, my God. Joe Kearney is 32 years old.

01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:16.360
I know. He's getting old, but he's still Steve.

01:01:19.820 --> 01:01:22.880
Charlie Heaton is 31. And Maya Hawke, I love

01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:26.699
her with all my heart. How old is she? Maya Hawke?

01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:31.559
Probably late 20s, early or mid 20s. I honestly

01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:34.219
would assume she's a bit older. Yeah, I thought

01:01:34.219 --> 01:01:38.780
she was like 28 or something. Yeah. I guess spoiler

01:01:38.780 --> 01:01:41.780
alert for me, Grace Van Dien, she died, right?

01:01:41.880 --> 01:01:43.800
I remember seeing a clip about that, like she

01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:46.539
was possessed. Yeah, it was season four. Yeah.

01:01:46.599 --> 01:01:49.389
Which came out like two years ago now. I'm looking

01:01:49.389 --> 01:01:50.949
at this and I'm pretty sure most of these people

01:01:50.949 --> 01:01:54.150
are dead. Yeah, probably. If their name starts

01:01:54.150 --> 01:01:56.269
with a B, if the character name starts with a

01:01:56.269 --> 01:01:59.469
B, they're likely dead. That is a theme that

01:01:59.469 --> 01:02:01.989
has happened every season. I didn't even know

01:02:01.989 --> 01:02:03.989
that. The first one was Barb. Right. The second

01:02:03.989 --> 01:02:07.309
season was Bob. The third one was Billy. The

01:02:07.309 --> 01:02:16.809
fourth one was... Oh, what was his name? I can't

01:02:16.809 --> 01:02:17.969
even remember who it was. I forgot who season

01:02:17.969 --> 01:02:21.510
four was. But there's a theme of bees in Dungeons

01:02:21.510 --> 01:02:25.250
& Dragons. Oh, wait. That guy. I don't remember

01:02:25.250 --> 01:02:29.150
his name. I can't remember. Oh, Brenner. Brenner.

01:02:29.449 --> 01:02:31.869
Brenner? Brenner, the doctor. The old doctor.

01:02:32.070 --> 01:02:35.969
Oh. Who took an L. Right. Yeah, but we don't

01:02:35.969 --> 01:02:38.530
like him. But what about... What even was his

01:02:38.530 --> 01:02:41.409
name? He was running away for the murder of the

01:02:41.409 --> 01:02:46.489
girl. Yeah, the... The guy who played Metallica.

01:02:48.030 --> 01:02:52.750
No, Billy was in, no. That's Max's sister. Oh,

01:02:52.829 --> 01:02:58.150
Eddie. Eddie, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, Eddie. We

01:02:58.150 --> 01:03:01.530
like him. He's in the new Stranger Things. He

01:03:01.530 --> 01:03:04.090
might be. He's in the new Fantastic Four. Oh.

01:03:04.150 --> 01:03:06.469
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the Johnny Storm? Yeah,

01:03:06.489 --> 01:03:08.489
he's Human Torch. Human Torch, that's right.

01:03:09.230 --> 01:03:12.480
But yeah, no. All of that, like, I mean, I've

01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:15.000
seen clips on TikTok about it, and that's actually

01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:18.360
where I found, like, Dungeons & Dragons. Again,

01:03:18.559 --> 01:03:22.739
I found the 20 Dimension. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

01:03:22.739 --> 01:03:25.679
with Brendan Lee Mulligan. Yeah, I think that

01:03:25.679 --> 01:03:27.980
was his name. Honestly, I, like, I fall asleep

01:03:27.980 --> 01:03:31.030
to it. Yeah, no, I don't blame you at all. It's

01:03:31.030 --> 01:03:34.030
good storytelling. He's a really good DM. I have

01:03:34.030 --> 01:03:35.849
it pulled up because I literally forgot the name

01:03:35.849 --> 01:03:38.710
of it. I was like, oh, I watch one. I watch one

01:03:38.710 --> 01:03:40.730
religiously. What is it? It's Dimension 20. Dimension

01:03:40.730 --> 01:03:43.429
20 is so good. I'm sure you've seen Critical

01:03:43.429 --> 01:03:46.210
Role clips out there. Yeah, I like that. No?

01:03:46.710 --> 01:03:48.050
I don't even know what you're talking about.

01:03:48.090 --> 01:03:51.079
Critical Role? Matthew Mercer? No. You're crazy.

01:03:51.260 --> 01:03:54.619
Like, I found them off TikTok. I found a majority

01:03:54.619 --> 01:03:57.159
of these people off TikTok. And then, like, TikTok

01:03:57.159 --> 01:04:02.480
got banned. And I was, like, searching to find

01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:05.780
everyone that I, like, was on my feed, my For

01:04:05.780 --> 01:04:08.710
You page. to find them elsewhere. So I went and

01:04:08.710 --> 01:04:10.690
I, like, followed all of these, like, influencers

01:04:10.690 --> 01:04:15.110
on, like, Instagram and YouTube. Yeah. Yeah.

01:04:15.170 --> 01:04:17.570
So. That's crazy. We'll have to talk about Matthew

01:04:17.570 --> 01:04:19.309
Mercer in Critical Role because that's crazy

01:04:19.309 --> 01:04:22.230
that you don't even, like, I know you watch anime,

01:04:22.389 --> 01:04:24.210
obviously, because I've been in the room while

01:04:24.210 --> 01:04:27.590
you've talked about it. Matthew Mercer is the

01:04:27.590 --> 01:04:29.989
voice of so many characters that I'm sure you

01:04:29.989 --> 01:04:33.579
know at least one of them. Okay, let's see. Never

01:04:33.579 --> 01:04:35.679
seen his face. I believe you guys have one more

01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:37.480
topic to talk about, though, so I will. What,

01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:39.500
the pool tournament? Yeah, but I'm going to hop

01:04:39.500 --> 01:04:41.280
out, so you can talk about the pool tournament.

01:04:43.739 --> 01:04:46.460
Are you more knowledgeable? You got excited.

01:04:46.860 --> 01:04:49.739
You looked him up. I did, and I found out that

01:04:49.739 --> 01:04:53.420
he's in Black Butler, so I need to look at that.

01:04:54.099 --> 01:04:59.400
But the pool tournament. Well, it's on March

01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:03.960
26th. I literally just took my note down. Yeah,

01:05:04.099 --> 01:05:09.159
no, it's on March 26th, and it's hosted by Johnson

01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:12.159
County Community College, and it's really just,

01:05:12.260 --> 01:05:15.039
like, if you're good at pool, play it. Right.

01:05:15.099 --> 01:05:17.199
I mean, it's in the student lounge, so, like,

01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.699
run on down to the student lounge. Everyone can

01:05:19.699 --> 01:05:23.190
play it. If you're bored, like, the day. Like,

01:05:23.250 --> 01:05:26.190
it would be a Wednesday, so we'd be here in the

01:05:26.190 --> 01:05:31.550
studio. But if you're free, like, I mean, I guess

01:05:31.550 --> 01:05:32.909
just, like, the best. Well, we won't be in the

01:05:32.909 --> 01:05:40.789
studio during it. It's at 11 a .m. Wow. Okay.

01:05:41.369 --> 01:05:45.530
I won't. I'll be in class. But that, I mean,

01:05:45.550 --> 01:05:49.630
it's fun. That's, like, the go -to game for,

01:05:49.710 --> 01:05:54.039
like, group hangouts with me. And whenever at

01:05:54.039 --> 01:05:57.119
my mom's house, like, we have, like, a pool table

01:05:57.119 --> 01:06:00.460
in our basement. Thankfully, it came with the

01:06:00.460 --> 01:06:03.280
house, guys. Like, they were like, this is too

01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:05.139
heavy for us to move. Do you want it? And we're

01:06:05.139 --> 01:06:07.579
like, yeah, we want your old vintage pool table

01:06:07.579 --> 01:06:12.639
100%. Thank you very much. But it's, like, been

01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:15.000
a staple of the hangouts. Like, everyone plays

01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:18.239
pool whenever, like. I mean, I obviously, it's

01:06:18.239 --> 01:06:20.519
now my brothers. My brothers are now hosting

01:06:20.519 --> 01:06:23.280
all the group hangouts with the pool table, but

01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:27.500
now I'm, like, I'm missing it. Oh, we had a pool

01:06:27.500 --> 01:06:29.460
table in our basement when we lived with our

01:06:29.460 --> 01:06:33.400
grandparents. I wouldn't say I'm good at it at

01:06:33.400 --> 01:06:36.980
all. It's fun to play something. Like, you can

01:06:36.980 --> 01:06:39.860
also make up your own games to it. It's not just

01:06:39.860 --> 01:06:42.739
pool that's, like, a game. I don't know the specific

01:06:42.739 --> 01:06:47.289
pool rules. I don't know either. I never remember,

01:06:47.429 --> 01:06:51.070
but I was taught how to play, so I can still,

01:06:51.070 --> 01:06:55.710
like, use the pool stick and actually shoot the

01:06:55.710 --> 01:06:59.630
balls into the pockets, but I'm not great at

01:06:59.630 --> 01:07:01.769
it. I definitely wouldn't be able to win. I'm

01:07:01.769 --> 01:07:08.090
no pool grandmaster. Yeah. But, I mean, no, it's

01:07:08.090 --> 01:07:11.989
fun. Like, pool and darts is the go -to games

01:07:11.989 --> 01:07:16.000
that I was taught growing up. my brothers delved

01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:18.679
deeper into the bar games and ended up figuring

01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:21.599
out how to play blackjack and poker. I don't

01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:24.280
know how to play those. Do you know how to play

01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:31.260
poker? It must be a dude thing. Maybe. I mean,

01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:34.300
I can play like... My extensive knowledge of

01:07:34.300 --> 01:07:43.780
poker is from GTA 5. When I bought my PSP, it

01:07:43.780 --> 01:07:47.539
came with a poker game. And I was winning, and

01:07:47.539 --> 01:07:50.920
I don't know how. I was just putting down cards.

01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:55.539
Yeah. Like, I don't know. I kept winning. Sometimes

01:07:55.539 --> 01:07:57.760
I would lose, but I was winning more than I was

01:07:57.760 --> 01:07:59.519
losing. And I'm like, I don't know what's going

01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:08.500
on. Anyways, but. One way to wrap this all up.

01:08:08.750 --> 01:08:12.530
We hope you guys have a great spring break. Don't

01:08:12.530 --> 01:08:16.149
stress yourself out too much about midterms.

01:08:16.149 --> 01:08:18.670
Don't stress yourself out too much about midterms.

01:08:18.850 --> 01:08:24.010
You got this. We believe in you. And have a fun

01:08:24.010 --> 01:08:27.510
spring break. Honestly, take time to relax. Enjoy

01:08:27.510 --> 01:08:30.229
yourselves. Read a book. Go outside. Enjoy the

01:08:30.229 --> 01:08:33.960
warm weather. Yes. That sounds amazing. Start

01:08:33.960 --> 01:08:38.800
a D &D group. Be the dungeon master. Learn how

01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:44.039
to play pool. Go to a pool. Yeah. If any are

01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:51.140
open. Stop by a museum. Donate your vases. Go

01:08:51.140 --> 01:08:54.180
to the conventions. Literally have so much fun

01:08:54.180 --> 01:08:57.859
being a nerd. Be yourself. Have fun. Nerd out

01:08:57.859 --> 01:09:01.880
on spring break. Watch as many shows and read

01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:04.300
as many comic books or books that you want to.

01:09:05.659 --> 01:09:07.939
Anyways, you guys have a good rest of your spring

01:09:07.939 --> 01:09:13.279
break and we will see you on the 28th. Bye. Peace.
